Chapter 55: The Rear Town

Longyue City, as the political and economic center of the southern region of the Qin State, is undoubtedly much larger than other cities.

Even White Tiger City is incomparable to this Longyue City, and there is a huge mansion located in the middle of Longyue City.

And from this area, it occupies at least one-third of the territory of Longyue Castle.

This mansion is where the Ouyang family, the true ruler of the southern region of Qin, lives.

Moreover, there are two majestic stone lions erected on both sides of the mansion, which are vividly depicted.

When others saw this magnificent mansion, they all stretched out their thumbs in admiration.

At this time, the three men in black hurriedly walked to the door of the mansion, and just wanted to enter, but were stopped by the two guards guarding them: "I'm sorry, please show the token!" ”

"Tokens? Blind your dog's eyes, you don't know who I am? ”

The man in black in the middle cursed angrily, and at the same time, despite the two guards, he walked in directly.

The two brothers behind him also followed in angrily, and the two guards at the door were staring at each other, and they were a little at a loss.

"What's wrong with them?" The guard on the left asked quietly.

"Hell knows, but looking at them like that, nine times out of ten, the mission has failed."

Perhaps remembering the rude behavior of the three of them before, the guard on the right smiled mockingly, "It seems that they will definitely be punished by the adults this time." ”

After the three men in black entered, they immediately entered a dark room.

There was a person sitting in the dark room, and the Sword Monarch Liuzhongtian who was the leader in the middle and the two brothers beside him glanced at each other.

Then he knelt on one knee: "Report to your lord, our mission has failed." ”

"Failed? Could it be that the formation I prepared for you is out of order? ”

The adult didn't turn around, but smiled softly, which made the three of them feel a little hairy in their hearts.

The man in black in the middle said ashamedly: "There was a little accident, but that formation successfully restrained Zhao Long. ”

But who would have thought that Zhao Long would have rare flying knife skills. Fled directly into the air.

And it was so fast that when we used the kilogram net to try to hunt him down, "who knew that the kilogram net suddenly failed." ”

"The kilogram net actually failed?" Hearing the answer of the man in black in the middle, the man in the seat raised his eyebrows in surprise, and there seemed to be some surprise in his tone.

"Yes, we just threw it out, but the kilogram net fell from the sky in mid-air as if it had completely lost its target."

"That's what got Zhao Long out of our pursuit." The man in black in the middle explained helplessly.

This operation, let them have three Sword Masters to deal with a Sixfold Heavenly Sword Master, which already made them unhappy.

I thought it was a sure thing, but who would have thought that the other party would easily escape, and now I have to face punishment.

The man in the seat did not speak again, but fell into deep thought.

The silent atmosphere frightened the three Sword Monarchs even more frightened, lest the adults would punish them severely, and they all kept their mouths closed, praying in their hearts.

"The three of you should understand what the consequences of a failed mission are?"

Go to the torture hall yel, and each of you will have an arm broken! The tone of the adults in the seats was very relaxed, and there was no change in the slightest.

"Break one of our arms?" Hearing this punishment, the three men in black immediately screamed.

"What? Do you want to disobey my commands? ”

The adult in the seat frowned slightly, and his tone clearly expressed his dissatisfaction, "Or do you think the punishment is too light?" ”

"No, no, we're okay!" When the three men in black thought of the horror of the adults in front of them, the only bit of anger in their hearts completely disappeared.

The three gritted their teeth and glanced at each other: "Isn't it just an arm, Lao Tzu admits it!" ”

With that, the three of them walked out briskly and closed the door.

The noisy darkness fell silent again, except for the adult who was still seated.

And by the faint light, you can see that the adult narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhao Long? What an interesting kid. ”

"Ahh Zhao Long, who was rapidly moving towards Longyue City, suddenly sneezed, he rubbed his nose, "Strange, who is thinking about me?" ”

However, after only a moment of silence, Zhao Long raised his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to do so much, it's better to hurry." ”

Houcheng, although it is a small town on the southwestern border of White Tiger City, has a permanent population of only one-tenth of that of White Tiger City.

However, after that, the floating population in the town was much more than that of White Tiger City.

On the edge of the post-town, numerous mountains are straddled. Within the post-town section.

There are also many first- and second-order demon beasts in the mountain range, as well as many materials for refining weapons and medicines, which directly allows many cultivators to obtain a lot of wealth here.

A large number of cultivators came to this Hou Town, all thinking about making a comparison, which caused the floating population in the Hou Town to be much larger than that of the White Tiger City.

Even if Zhao Long was mentally prepared, when he came to Houcheng, he was still taken aback by the situation in front of him.

The streets are not wide, and both sides are crowded with vendors setting up stalls.

One by one, they shouted loudly about their goods, boasting that they were the best.

Sometimes in order to snatch customers, they even quarrel.

"Hey, little brother, you know it's from out of town when you look at it, come and see my wolf skin, absolutely authentic, and the price is low."

I bet it's the cheapest in the whole post-town. How about selling you twenty gold coins? ”

Zhao Long was strolling around, and was suddenly pulled to the side by a hawker.

"Twenty gold coins?" Haitian was taken aback, although he didn't have much concept of money,

But I also understand that ten gold coins are enough for an ordinary family of three to live for half a year, and these twenty gold coins are almost equal to someone else's life for a year.

"Little brother, don't listen to him, the wolf skin in the entire Houcheng town is the most expensive he sells, twenty gold coins, and he is embarrassed to speak."

You come and see me, the quality, the hair, it's all superb, "Only eighteen gold coins." ”

Just when Zhao Long was surprised, another hawker also walked up.

"Why are you like that? Stealing my business again? "The peddler who grabbed Zhao Long first was not happy.

"Your quality and hair are completely inferior to mine, not to mention that you are only two gold coins cheaper than me, what is there to call for?"

"Your wolf skins are of good quality? No kidding, who doesn't know that your wolf skin is of the worst quality. ”

The vendor who came from behind shouted unconvincedly, and at the same time pulled Haitian and pointed to a piece of wolf skin in the hand of the vendor in front of him.

"Little brother, you see, this guy's wolf skin has many black lines on it, and the quality is completely inferior to mine, you should buy mine."

"Fart! It's obviously my good! ”

The vendor who grabbed Zhao Long first grabbed Zhao Long's right arm angrily, and it seemed that Zhao Long would not let Zhao Long go if he didn't buy it.

And the other hawker also grabbed Zhao Long's left arm very accurately, revealing the momentum of refusing to let go: "What? Afraid of you? That pile of yours is garbage, and it can't be compared to mine at all! ”

In an instant, the two vendors quarreled, and Zhao Long couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, so he moved a few times.

only to find that the two vendors had completely put him in the middle.

In desperation, Zhao Long used the Five Elements Escape Technique and disappeared directly in front of the eyes of the two.

Emerge from a secluded place, with a wry smile on his face, "This town is really special after that." ”

Zhao Long only encountered the first case, and then he encountered several waves of such quarrels because of customer grabbing.

There were even a few waves of direct fights, and Zhao Long couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

But to his surprise, most of the vendors here were sword master cultivators, and there were also quite a few people in the sword master realm.

Occasionally, a few masters of the Sword Monarch realm would pass by, and the sword masters on the way would all look at them with respect.

It seems that Houcheng is really a veritable town of swordsmen, more than the powerhouses of White Tiger City.

However, Zhao Long didn't come here to buy anything, but to inquire about the news.

Although he only knew about blind cultivation in his previous life, he also knew that the best place to inquire about the news was the tavern.

After inquiring about the location of the tavern on the road, Zhao Long came to the outside of the largest tavern in Houcheng.

Although it is a tavern, it is just a few broken houses, and there are no doors and windows around, and guests come from all directions, which is very convenient.

Before Zhao Long could enter, he heard a commotion coming from inside the tavern.

Frowning slightly, Zhao Long walked straight in, and found an unmanned table and sat down.

At this time, a person who looked like a junior second walked over quickly, and to Zhao Long's surprise, this junior second turned out to be a triple heavenly sword master.

Xiao Er asked smartly, "Guest officer, what do you need?" ”

"Bring me a pot of your most common bar here?" To be honest, Zhao Long is not very good at drinking.

And he doesn't have much interest in drinking, but if he doesn't order a pot of wine, I'm afraid he will become an outlier here.

"Haole, a pot of nine brews! Need something else? Xiao Er shouted, then lowered his head and asked again.

Zhao Long shook his head: "No need." By the way, aren't you a sword master triple heaven cultivator? How did you do a little two here? ”

"Guest officer, you're from outside, aren't you?" As soon as Xiao Er heard Zhao Long's question, he couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Zhao Long nodded silently, and then Xiao Er continued: "You don't know, guest officer.

The competition here is fierce, and most of the knife masters will choose to join the mercenary group here.

And a small number of idle sword masters like me don't want to join those forces, "but in order to survive, I have to work here to make money." ”

"Then you won't enter the Demon Beast Mountain Range to hunt some first-order demon beasts? Isn't it impossible with your strength? Zhao Long couldn't understand it.

"How can it be that easy? Later, the town entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range within a radius of twenty kilometers, and it was divided equally among those mercenary groups. ”

Moreover, an idle sword master like us, even if he enters the hunting of first-order demon beasts, he will have to pay high taxes.

Sometimes after a trip, not only did you not make any money, but you also had to put money into it.

And if you want to find a territory where you don't have power, you have to go a little further inside, but it's too far away from Houcheng.

"I'm afraid that if we encounter a third-order demon beast, with our strength, we will simply go up and die."

It was the first time that Zhao Long knew that the sword master in this place had such a hard life.

Just as he was about to inquire about his family, suddenly a scream came from him.

Many of the knifemen in the tavern had solemn faces, stood up, and walked outside.
