Chapter 5: The Dilemma (1)
Fang Ling smiled and complimented: "The Great Witch is invincible, how can an ordinary person in my province dare to escape? Moreover, if the city lord of Nabutoya is really as enchanting and beautiful as you said, wouldn't this be a blessing from heaven? But this premise has to let Nabutoya look at it, and I hope that Dawu you will give you some advice, if things go well, I will definitely not forget the favor of Dawu!"
Seeing the southerner's reverent expression, Gnu was also greatly appreciative, he hesitated slightly, and finally said: "Nabutoya doesn't like weak men very much, but there is a degree of toughness, and it depends on you to think about it." But if you don't grasp it well, I'm afraid that your life will be lost!"
"My life is not guaranteed?" Fang Ling frowned slightly, could it be that if he hadn't been favored by the city lord, he would have been killed?
Gnu smiled again: "But you look handsome enough, and the city lord is reluctant to kill you, so as long as you pretend to be brave, it is estimated that you can get through." ”
After just a few words, Fang Ling had already figured out his character, and after a few words of compliment, he slowly put up his words, although it was unlikely that he would get more confidential things, but some general situations could be set up.
Soon, he learned that the leading shaman, the Black Witch, was named Bart, the second highest shaman in Songdan City.
Each tribe has its own shaman, the highest status is the shaman, the shaman shaman assigns his shamans to various cities, and assists the city lord in governing the city.
The land of the five tribes, spanning the western part of the grassland, is one of the largest forces in the grassland, bordering the northern part of the Chu State and the northern part of the Cai State, but in fact, the territorial contact is the territory of the Wushen and Chahan tribes.
The five tribes are divided into Bayan, Chahan, Wushen, Solun and Turan, distributed from north to south, the northernmost is Bayan and Solon, the middle is Turan, and the southernmost is Wushen and Chahan.
Therefore, Fang Ling's journey is to pass through the territory of the Wushen tribe and the Chahan tribe before he can finally reach the territory of the Turan tribe.
Songdan City is the entrance city of the Wushen people, and it is also the only place for merchants in the border area of Chu to enter the grassland area.
After resting in the ruins for the night, Fang Ling, Bart and the others hurried to Songdan City before noon the next day.
Standing on the grassland, Songdan City has a tall city wall that is not inferior to the county town of Chu State, but these city walls are not made of boulders, but in the form of earth ramming, although the degree of solidity can not be compared with the boulder, but its thickness is much greater than the boulder, and it has also made up for it to a certain extent.
The steppe men with bows and arrows on their backs and swords at their waists stood up and down the city wall, looking solemnly and vigilantly at the crowd of people.
As soon as the shamans appeared, whether it was the soldiers defending the city or the passers-by, they all knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
Fang Ling followed the shamans into the city of Songdan, and found that the city was somewhat similar to the city of Chu, the streets were extensive, there were inns, wine shops, etc., and there were some southerners on the road, but these southerners had already followed the customs, and when they saw the shamans coming, they knelt down like the grassland people.
And the people who had lived in the city for a long time, after seeing Fang Ling, all had a clear expression, and many of them were sympathetic and secretly shook their heads.
