Chapter 127: Yanmen Pass in the West
The best way for foreigners to travel through the territory of the Han Dynasty was to walk through the merchant group.
With a merchant group, they can go around selling goods and also go around shopping for all kinds of supplies.
The identity of the black nest made it easy for him to pull a trading merchant group.
Whether the merchant group makes money or not is secondary, and the key is to catch the nonsense and squeeze out the cultivation-related points.
"That is the Yanmen Pass of the Han Dynasty, we must pass through this city pass when we go south at this time!"
In the convoy of the merchant group, Wu Chao pointed to a huge city tower in the distance.
It is normal for the Han Dynasty to have wars in the north, and it is normal for the west to still trade, and the huge kingdom will not be stopped by the war in one region, nor will it be led by the nose by a war.
According to Zhang Chong's mention, the current national policy of the Han Dynasty is mainly defensive, such as Cheng Buzhi and other generals are sticking to the border, and only the Feiyu army in the north occasionally attacks the enemy country.
At Yanmen Pass in the west, Zhang Xuezhou could not see any signs of taking the initiative.
Densely scattered outside the Yanmen Pass are countless rejecting horses to defend against the impact of war horses, and there are tripping horses and ropes that are entangled with huge tree stumps.
When the Yanmen Gate was closed, the placement of hundreds of machine spring crossbows made the scalp of foreign merchants tingle.
And on the tower, there were rows of armored and shield-bearing sergeants.
Compared to the north, where there are one or two local wars every three or five years, the west is calm and uninvading.
"That army commanded by Cheng Buzhi has never lost a battle, he can not beat others, but others also want to win him, it is really a headache" Wuchao introduced in a low voice: "The legions of our fierce country have to make a detour when they see Yanmen Pass, but this kind of stability also makes Yanmen Pass the best trade route to enter the Han Dynasty." ”
Wu Chao whispered for a while, and he suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuezhou was from the Han Dynasty, and immediately closed his mouth again.
In the final analysis, he lacks friends too much, and he has few people to talk to, so he will repeatedly confide in Zhang Xuezhou what he has seen and heard.
Wuchao said what should be said, and what should not be said was also said.
But no one's friends will be controlled by friends, Wuchao doesn't know if Zhang Xuezhou is still a friend at the moment, if they don't die in three years, what should they do.
He pressed the large hood on his head, his gaze lowered.
"Check and check, get out of the car and be inspected, and then pass the customs one by one after the inspection!"
The merchant group continued to march and entered the Yanmen Pass, where it was immediately taken over by the sergeant in charge of patrolling.
In such a frontier, any suspicious subject will be sniped without mercy.
On the tower of the city, the tense sound of the machine spring came, and many people in the business group were silent, and they didn't dare to breathe.
"Senior brother, we ......"
"The last thing we are afraid of is inspection!"
As soon as Zhang Xuezhou asked in a low voice, Wu Chao raised his finger and signaled Zhang Xuezhou not to make a sound, just follow the process.
As the sorcerers of the Holy Land of the Tuo Yu River, they are extremely inconspicuous, and they are rarely different from ordinary people in terms of appearance and temperament, and they are not too eye-catching in the merchant group.
Ordinary monks will show a full amount of mana as they continue to advance, and at first glance they are signs of an extraordinary person.
And it is difficult to cultivate the "Heart Mantra" in this situation.
The reason why the "Heart Mantra" is not as good as the "Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavenly Mantra" is also the reason why the foundation is thick, and the aura of those who practice the "Heart Mantra" is as if they are ordinary people, and the payment of this price makes the important cultivation of a holy land inferior to the cultivation of many universities.
If you go to the Holy Land of the Trailing River, ordinary people who get along with many Great Spell Masters will not feel that the great cultivators of the Holy Land are overwhelming.
A great spell master like Hongku, who even looked a little bitter.
But for those who practice spells, the Heart Mantra is the best cultivation technique and the best means of self-defense.
But if they drill into the ordinary people, they are rarely noticed.
After Wuchao signaled to Zhang Xuezhou, he immediately heard the sound of knocking on the carriage and calling people to get off the train for inspection.
This made him press his hat and lift the curtain of the carriage.
"Urawa Ulawa La" ......
Wu Chao spat out a fierce Chinese language, causing the checking sergeant to frown.
"I can't even speak Chinese, what kind of business group are you running!" The sergeant complained.
"Ulawala, Ulawa!"
"My lord, I am leading the way for His Excellency Urariva, and I can help His Excellency Urariva translate!"
As Wuchao got out of the car for inspection, Zhang Xuezhou also got out of the carriage.
"Translation? Your face looks like you're from our Han Dynasty," the sergeant wondered.
"Yes, I'm from Rongcheng" Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said: "I don't go out to ask for a living!" ”
"Your family is really willing to give it away, and you dare to let you go to that kind of barbarian land outside the Saiwai!"
The sergeant looked sympathetic.
He looked at Zhang Xuezhou in a merchant uniform, and then looked at his still immature face, only to feel that Zhang Xuezhou's parents were not sons, and they actually let such a young baby go to the murderous country and other places to make a living.
This kind of livelihood is obviously far more dangerous than being a soldier, and one careless person can die outside.
Over the years, there have been many people who have done this kind of risky work, but it is not easy to get the money outside the plug, and many people have the life to earn money but not to spend it, and finally even lose their lives.
To be able to learn a Cypriot foreign language, this requires at least a year or two of living outside the Cypriot language.
That is to say, Zhang Xuezhou must be a weak crown when he goes to Saiwai, and then mixes with the side of a young master of a business group, which requires some points and time.
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional for a while, and it was not easy to make a living.
waited until he patted Zhang Xuezhou's body and searched for Zhang Xuezhou, and then he swept his gaze over Zhang Xuezhou again.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't have any swords on his body, but Zhang Xuezhou's body was extremely strong, and even this strength had an aura that made him uncomfortable.
There is no doubt that the other party is a cultivator, and he is an extremely talented cultivator.
"Someone!"
The sergeant stretched out his hand.
"Your Excellency?"
Zhang Xuezhou was shocked, he only felt that his body was instantly targeted by crossbow arrows, and his scalp couldn't help but feel numb.
By Zhang Xuezhou's side, Wuchao's complexion also changed slightly.
The black nest was thin and weak, and the mana aura was also extremely tight, and he was mistaken by the sergeant as an ordinary person.
But Zhang Xuezhou didn't dodge.
Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation is very low, so low that it is nothing in the eyes of Wuchao.
But no matter how low the cultivation is, Zhang Xuezhou is also a cultivator who has entered the country, and he has the cultivation of the Pulse Realm, and this kind of cultivation is undoubtedly different in the eyes of the sergeant.
Wu Chao felt that there was no cultivation, but in the eyes of the sergeant, it was a great ability.
"Don't worry, we just cherish your life" The sergeant said: "You are young and cultivated, and you will definitely be an amazing talent in the future, why bother to work in a business group, and finally lose your life outside the Saiwai!" ”
The sergeant looked at Zhang Xuezhou with satisfaction, and his eyes were like Bole discovering Maxima.
He will not embarrass the business group, nor will he embarrass Zhang Xuezhou.
However, the sergeant felt that it was a pure waste for a young and cultivated person like Zhang Xuezhou to run a business, and perhaps as long as he cultivated a little, the other party might be able to ascend, so as to obtain more wealth than the running businessman, and also contribute to the Han Dynasty.
Compared with the risk of following the Hu people to run a business outside the Sai, there are few occupations in the Han Dynasty that are so risky.
He found the relevant and tried to solve the related problems.
There are few wars in the western frontier, but they never relax, not only the perennial soldiers, but also the mechanism of continuous selection of talents.
Whether it is to go up on your own or to recommend others with discernment, you have merit in the legion.
The sergeant was not surprised that Zhang Xuezhou was happy to see the hunt.
If he succeeds, he can earn more or less military merit worth two pieces of silver.
