Chapter Seventy-Seven: Do We Know This Aunt?
Under the dark night, Wen Lixing is like a killer hidden in the dark, poison ivy is like a poisonous snake, peeking in secret, once he finds an opportunity, he will send a fatal blow!
Most of these thieves are ordinary people, although they have awakened their fighting souls, most of them are in the realm of one-star fighting soul masters! The soul power in the body was simply not enough to resist the poison in the poison ivy, and they were soon poisoned to the ground one by one.
Some of those who were weaker were killed on the spot!
One by one, these thieves leaned against the valley wall, under such a cold and harsh climate, even if they were not poisoned, if they stood under this cold wind overnight, they would be frozen alive into popsicles.
There were a total of twenty-eight people, and after all of them were dealt with, Wen Lixing turned all the way back, and at this time Zhong Li was still a little worried, but she also let Wen Lixing pull herself forward, at this time she was still worried, but soon, she was stunned to find that those thieves stationed on the side leaned against the rock wall one by one, as if they had fallen asleep.
"They're ......"
"I don't know, it was like this before, I guess I'm lazy."
Wen Lixing shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain much, killing twenty-eight people in one go, it was indeed a little too terrifying, although Zhong Li was suspicious, he didn't think much about it.
The valley here is a bit steep, very difficult to walk, and it is no wonder that there are no thieves stationed in the second half of the road, such a rugged valley road, and there are cracked ditches under the valley road, one accidentally falls into, it is difficult to say whether there is a life.
The two of them held hands, it was snowing, and the road was very slippery, but although this valley road was not easy to walk, it was a shortcut road, as long as you passed through this rugged valley road, you could see the White Cloud City!
The Zhong family is a family of merchants, and the nearby cities have more or less certain industries, and the Zhong family has often been in and out of Baiyun City over the years, and naturally left a small branch.
It's just that the traded furs were robbed, and there was simply no enough goods to trade in a short period of time, which was undoubtedly worse for the Zhong family today.
Along the way, Zhong Li was silent, the closer she got to Baiyun City, the more silent she became, in fact, she still couldn't understand it, Baiyun Valley is so big, there are many roads leading to Baiyun City, when resting outside the valley before, everyone also discussed trying to avoid those gentle valley roads, and took some steep roads that are not easy to walk.
Why was he ambushed? So much so that it was almost wiped out.
No matter how good Baiyun Village is, it won't be ambushed there in advance, right?
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the pace of progress suddenly stopped, and under Wen Lixing's incomprehensible gaze, I actually wanted to go back.
"Sister Zhong Li, you are ......"
"There are spies! I must find out who is reporting to the Baiyun Village! ”
Not only was the fur robbed on this trip, but even the Zhong family's guards were wiped out, if this matter could not be investigated, she would not be reconciled!
Wen Lixing suddenly had a head and two big, go back? What's the trouble, this looks like it's about to go out of the valley, won't it be a sheep to go back now?
"Sister Zhong Li, before entering the valley before, I remember you once said that although this Baiyun Village will rob merchants passing by here on weekdays, it is generally straightforward, and even if it robs goods, it is only half of the robbery, why is it so abnormal this time?"
Zhong Li was stunned, most of these thieves in Baiyun Valley were homeless people who had committed crimes nearby and gathered here in order to hide from their enemies, just to eat a mouthful of food.
And the big boss of Baiyun Village is also a famous figure, although Baiyun Village is a thief, but it also has a certain bottom line, otherwise which businessman dares to take this road in these years?
If they had killed one by one, the thieves in this White Cloud Valley would have starved to death long ago!
"Sister Zhong Li, why is this fur trade so urgent? Since this Baiyun Village is so notorious, why can't you travel for a few more days to bypass this Baiyun Valley? ”
Zhong Li's face was a little unpleasant, although he vaguely grasped something in his heart, but it was too vague to be sure.
"Speaking of which, this fur transaction is indeed a little too sudden, from stocking to delivery, and the final transaction, the other party only gave more than a month of time, but Li City and Baiyun City are separated by hundreds of miles, and during this period, it has been several days of night travel."
Zhong Li sighed lightly, if it hadn't been for the overnight rush, everyone would have been exhausted, how could they have been snatched away so easily?
"If you're in such a hurry, why do you have to take it?
"I don't know, this transaction was taken over by the elders of the family, and I am only in charge of escorting."
The Zhong family is one of the five great families in Licheng, and it is a real merchant family! Although the Zhong family has declined today, the camel is bigger than the horse, and it has had close contacts with nearby cities over the years, and has its own currency channels!
And these currencies gathered to outsiders, in the eyes of outsiders, is the real golden road, has long been remembered by the major families.
Now the situation of the Zhong family is very bad, some old guys in the family are ambitious, and they have become more and more rampant over the years, if it were not for the suppression of the elder sister in the family, the Zhong family would have been torn apart.
"Sister Zhong Li, this matter is strange, that Baiyunzhai behaves abnormally, there must be a demon in it! Maybe this fur trade was a trap! ”
He is also from a family, so he naturally understands the darkness within the family, Zhong Li's face is a little gloomy and uncertain, and under Wen Lixing's repeated persuasion, he still did not look back after all.
Baiyun City, a third-level county town in the strict sense, a big city like this, there is a city lord's mansion in the city! Although Xinglan County is also a third-level county town, it is a third-level small city that does not enter the stream.
At this time, outside Baiyun City, many foreign merchants had already gathered, and they could enter the city just by waiting for the city gate to be opened.
At this time, less than a mile away from Baiyun City, two dirty figures helped each other out of the valley, looking at the Baiyun City in front of them, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Lixing fumbled all over, and finally poured out a gold coin from his boots, and smirked: "Sister Zhong Li, I have money, after entering the city, let's go to have a big dinner!" ”
Zhong Li's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "This gold coin is enough for us to enter the city, but do you have any other money?" ”
Wen Lixing scratched his head and looked at Zhong Li with some puzzlement, this gold coin was already all his worth, and there was really no more.
"It's a big meal, Baiyun City is a regular third-level city, non-local city residents, but anyone who enters the city, it is necessary to pay the entrance fee, after this gold coin pays our entry fee, it is estimated that we can only buy a few meat buns at most."
Zhong Li didn't have a good airway.
"Rub ~ city entrance fee?" Wen Lixing was dumbfounded, obviously she didn't understand that there was such a broken rule! There are so many pedestrians coming and going in Baiyun City every day, how much does it cost to enter the city? In his opinion, this is a black city!
Xinglan County is also a third-level city, and I have never heard of any so-called entrance fees, in fact, this is normal, Xinglan County doesn't even have the city lord's mansion, it is completely a piece of scattered sand, and the entrance fee to the city? Who will collect it?
Not only that, the higher the level of the city, the more entry fees are required to enter the city, which is also a matter of no choice, if other foreign soul masters are allowed to enter the city, the city will already be in chaos.
But even so, the number of people entering the city every day is still skyrocketing!
Wen Lixing's face turned into a bitter melon, he thought that with this gold coin, it was enough for him to squander it for several days, but at this time he found that just a gold coin, let alone squandering, even if it was not enough to solve the daily food and clothing.
In the past, when I was in Xinglan County, I had a gold coin in my hand, which was enough to eat and drink in a good restaurant.
Not only did I sigh a little secretly in my heart, but the days outside were really not so good.
The two supported each other, attracting a lot of disgusted eyes, and they escaped death in the White Cloud Valley, not to mention their clothes in tatters, and they were dirty all over their bodies, which was no better than beggars.
"Oh, it's dirty, it's stinky, and you don't want to see what kind of place this is, is this what you lowly slaves can step into?"
The city gate has not yet been opened, foreign businessmen, soul masters are waiting here, there are a lot of stone benches in front of the city gate, which is for waiting here to rest, all night of hurrying, both of them are tired, so they support each other and sit down, but they did not expect to be regarded as beggars, and the harsh words are even more infuriating!
The woman who said this was a young woman in her thirties and thirties, dressed in luxurious furs, and wearing all kinds of expensive diamond rings between her fingers.
"Baiyun City is a third-level city, and the people who come and go are all characters with heads and faces, but not everything can enter the city."
After that, the young woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and got up from the stone bench with what she thought was very graceful and luxurious, and deliberately moved half a meter to the side, revealing a look of disgust.
Zhong Li was angry, as the second lady of the Zhong family, even if the family had declined, he had never suffered such a wretchedness.
Moreover, the fur worn by the young woman looked a little familiar in both style and model, but for a moment, I couldn't remember it.
The young woman looks pretty, and on this cold day, she still holds a cranking fan in her hand, and she thinks she is swaying back and forth very elegantly.
"This aunt, do we know each other?"
