Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 17 The Big Shots

Regarding Xuan Lingzi's request, Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong both agreed, and let him not be polite. If there's anything else you need help with, just keep up.

After Xuan Lingzi left, both of them were a little stunned.

Taking advantage of the time when Yuan Kexin began to apply medicinal wine to her brother, he went straight up to the roof from the ladder behind the house and basked in the sun.

Today, there are some clouds and no wind, which just makes the sun's rays not so strong, and there is no dust, which is very comfortable!

There is also a chair on the roof, which is estimated to have been brought up by Yuan Mingkong, and this guy is also a fastidious person who loves to enjoy.

Some people's exquisiteness is external, and the food and clothing are very exquisite. But people who really pay attention to it are exuded from their bones, and their words and deeds seem to tell the people around them: it should be like this.

Although this is not necessarily good, let alone right, Zhao Rang is not disgusted. He felt that life was boring enough, and of course he had to find something to do on his own to become interesting. Even if it would be troublesome to do, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable to do nothing and just be idle in a daze?

After thinking for a while, Zhao Rang's eyes looked to the west.

His eyes were very good, but he couldn't see through the vast Gobi Desert in the Western Regions.

Overall, Shangmeng is a tolerant place. Even if there are undercurrents and disputes, people who want to do business in a proper manner can still gain a foothold.

And when you really walk into the Gobi Desert as far as the eye can see, this is not the case.

Although there are also activities of the Dawei people in the Western Regions, the number is pitiful. Mainly because of the long distance and the language barrier.

If Dawei people don't know the Western Regions, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch. To put it mildly, if people laugh and say that they are going to cut you, people who don't understand will think that they are going to invite themselves to dinner!

If there is no reason to go to such a realm, no one will set foot in such a realm at all.

Of course, Zhao Rang also has his own reasons.

His reason was not for the so-called battle of luck.

Although this is an excellent statement, if it weren't for Zhao Rang's unwillingness to reveal his identity, anyone who asked him would have said so.

Those who can compete for luck will naturally not be ordinary people.

To be honest, although this thing of luck is useful for ordinary people, it is not very helpful.

In the current Dawei, although it is far from reaching the point of not closing the door at night, as long as you are diligent and not lazy, it is not too difficult to eat a full meal.

However, this is what most people ask for.

When he had any more energy to spare, he built a new house, married a daughter-in-law, and had a child. The rush for the rest of his life fell on this child.

So for ordinary people's families, luck is really a chicken rib. It's not too much, and you can live without it.

Since Yangguan, up to today, Zhao Rang has been wandering around the border area between Dawei and the Western Regions for more than ten days, and he has some understanding of this "luck".

Maybe it's not a concrete thing, it's not as magical as it says.

The reason why these wealthy families and even the royal family sent their descendants to the Western Regions was actually because this place was too chaotic and complicated. As long as you come, you will definitely not be able to stay alone, and you will have to get involved in some incidents.

When things are solved one by one, if you can still return smoothly from the Western Regions, isn't that luck?

Zhao Rang felt that he was right, so he was relieved about the occurrence of these incidents.

If you come here, you will be at peace, and the place of peace is your hometown, and there is not much difference between the Western Regions and the Northern Territory, but you can enjoy the majesty of another world!

It was close to noon, the sun was bigger, and Zhao Rang couldn't sit still on the rooftop, so he prepared to go back to the house to cool off for a while.

As soon as I got up, I suddenly saw that at the end of the northwest horizon, there was a lot of dust, and it seemed that there were many horses and horses hurrying away.

This place is located at the junction of the Western Regions and the northern border of Dawei, and it is normal for people to come and go on weekdays.

After the Western Regions Business Alliance raised the tax on Dawei, some merchants had to go sideways, bypassing the Business Alliance, and directly going to the countries of the Western Regions to trade.

Of course, such behavior is not pleasing to the eyes of the business alliance.

It can be said that most of the "blood" of the Blood Eagle Warriors came from these merchants.

But such businessmen are basically retail businessmen who operate on a small scale, and they usually do their own business and do not form gangs. Only when it is necessary to cross the vast Gobi Desert and take great risks, will they spontaneously gather together, and there is great strength in numbers, even if it is sometimes useless, so that it can make people feel more comfortable.

The caravans formed by the temporary gathering, in order to avoid the detection of the merchant alliance, are all day and night, and it is impossible to have a horse team.

Zhao Rang couldn't think of who it would be for a while, so he continued to watch.

After a quarter of an hour or so, this group of people had not yet turned around, and should have come straight to the Shang Alliance.

If they turn their horses' heads and go east in the previous depression, they are going to Yangguan.

At this moment, the three-story building where Xi Fenglie was located also moved.

Zhao Rang saw that the attic on the top floor opened a window, and an eagle flew out of it, and after raising its body, it circled in the air and flew in the direction of the pair.

Seeing this, Zhao Rang hurriedly came down from the rooftop, returned to the store, and said to Yuan Mingkong:

"Come up and see!"

Yuan Mingkong looked at it for a long time, and he didn't see the reason, but when he heard the eagle of the west wind flying towards this group of people, he also had a bad premonition in his heart.

The two of them waited on the rooftop for more than half an hour, until those people stopped and the smoke and dust receded, and they could roughly see some clues.

This group of no less than a hundred people, and they were very disciplined, standing still in the scorching sun, as if waiting for the next order.

However, these hundreds of people are all wearing their own civilian clothes, with a variety of colors and styles, and there are no flags in the team, so it is still difficult to distinguish their identities.

After entering the city from the other end, he was quickly obscured by the long street lined with shops, and he did not know where to go.

Zhao Rang rubbed his dry eyes and said to Yuan Mingkong:

"Let's get some sleep first, isn't there anything else to do tonight?"

The two of them didn't close their eyes all night, and they were almost at their limit at this point.

Wu Xiu's spirit is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but he can't stand the constant consumption, and he must hurry up and recover.

Yuan Kexin closed the door of the store and asked Zhao Rang and her brother Yuan Mingkong to go to the house to rest, while she sat in front of the window, sipping wine while paying attention to the movement outside.

As soon as Zhao Rang closed his eyes, it was like his head was smashed with a heavy hammer, and he fell asleep to death.

I don't know how long later, I suddenly felt someone shaking his arm, and there was a faint sound in my ears.

Opened his eyes with difficulty, Zhao Rang saw Yuan Kexin's watery eyes, looking at himself intently.

didn't hear what she was talking about, Zhao Rang opened his mouth and said:

"You're so pretty!"

Yuan Kexin suddenly became a little shy, and her face was slightly red.

Then he took two steps back and said to Zhao Rang:

"Get up, ...... door"

"What's wrong with the door?"

Zhao Rang heard that her tone was wrong, and immediately turned over and got out of bed.

"Just check it out!"

Zhao Rang nodded and asked again:

"Where's your brother?"

Yuan Kexin replied:

"He's already awake!"

Zhao Rang hurriedly came out of the house and looked outside the store at first glance.

It was found that there were only two very good horses, tethered to the stone at the door, and nothing else.

Just as he was in doubt, the tip of his nose twitched, and he smelled a strange smell.

Look at Yuan Mingkong covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and look directly at the two things spread on the ground.

"This ......"

Rao is Zhao Rang was speechless in shock!

Although Yuan Kexin already knew what it was, it was still difficult to accept it...... Then he glanced at it again, turned his head and retched.

"You can see it."

Yuan Mingkong said.

Of course, Zhao Rang had already seen what this was, but he still squatted down, wanting to see it more realistically.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Zhao Rang asked.

"More than an hour."

Zhao Rang thought he had slept for a long time, but in fact it was not long.

The shorter the interval, the more unacceptable it is happening right in front of you!

Especially Xuan Lingzi, Dao Chang, more than an hour ago, was still sitting opposite the two of them, chatting eloquently, threatening to severely punish the villains, but now it has become a shriveled skin and spread on the ground.

Another skin next to him is the deputy head of the Admiralty Dart Bureau, Jin Sanliang.

"Just now these two horses came galloping down the street, and a wooden shelf was tied to the saddle, on which hung ...... They were hung with their skins. ”

Yuan Mingkong said.

"There are a lot of bruises on the skin, and they should have been torn off by someone who broke the bones all over the body while he was alive."

Zhao Rang turned his head sideways and saw that the edge was turned outward and extremely irregular, which showed that it was not cut off with a sharp weapon, but pulled hard with brute force.

The cruelty of the means made Zhao Rang shudder when he thought about it in his mind.

"Look at him again!"

Yuan Mingkong pointed to Xuan Lingzi's skin and said.

The skin of the Yuan collar was even more tragic than Jin Sanliang, and his chest was burned through five fist-sized holes.

The strange smell that Zhao Rang smelled just now was exactly this burnt smell.

Jin Sanliang, who is good at the hard work of the outer door of the golden bell jar, will be broken by someone to break the bones of the whole body and then peel off the essence. And Xuan Lingzi, the Taoist master, just said that he wanted to use the "Five Thunder and Heavenly Fire" to eliminate the wicked, but his chest was burned through five holes......

The person who did this thing wanted to let Jin Sanliang and Xuan Lingzi lose in the exercises they were best at, and let them bring humiliation on themselves!

"Is it the West Wind?"

As soon as Zhao Rang spoke, he shook his head in denial.

With the strength exposed by the West Wind Lie, Zhao Rang didn't think he could do this.

If they had really made a desperate move, they would not have heard any noise.

This shows that the martial arts cultivation of the person who made the shot must be far superior to Jin Sanliang and Xuan Lingzi, so that these two people had no room for resistance, and they lost their lives overnight.

Zhao Rang said with a solemn face:

"It seems that there is a big man in the business alliance!"
