Chapter 11 Four Seas Chamber of Commerce
There was no chase.
Jiang Ding pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the bloody battlefield, the smell of blood on the tip of his nose was extremely strong.
The vertebrae were slightly numb, and in just a few minutes, the progress of bone refining was another step forward.
No matter what kind of martial arts it is, it is only on the battlefield that you can find the value of your own existence and fit the essence of your life.
The surrounding caravan men looked at the young man in the corpse in awe, not daring to approach.
"Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life."
After a long time, the caravan steward bandaged the wound, hurried over, and saluted deeply: "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Long San, a disciple of the Long family, has seen Shaoxia, and there will be a good reward in the future." ”
Jiang Ding was stunned: "In the future?" Why not now? ”
Long San's scalp exploded, his whole body, especially his throat, was cold, and he instinctively touched the saber on his waist.
Facing Jiang Ding's gaze, he paused again.
"Could it be that the retribution is just a kind word?" Jiang Ding said unhappily.
"Don't dare! Wait a minute. ”
Long San's body relaxed, smiled, arched his hand, and returned to the guys to borrow some and offer more than thirty taels of silver.
"Don't blame the young man, now I have thirty taels of silver on me, and when I get to Fucheng, there will be another generous gift."
"It's not necessary, it's enough, they struck first, and they didn't specifically save you."
Jiang Ding accepted the money and shook his head, "There is another matter to ask for, I also want to go to Fucheng, can you make it convenient for the steward here and go together?" ”
"Young man, I can't ask for it!"
Long Sanxi was also worried that the bandits in Menghu Village would not give up.
After all, this is the boundary of Menghu Village, and everyone didn't dare to stay, so Long San asked his men to deliberately vacate a donkey cart to invite Jiang Ding in, and he personally accompanied him regardless of his injuries.
Jiang Ding also asked him about some nearby things by the way.
"In the city, in addition to the government office where the Marquis of Zhendong sits, there are any masters that cannot be provoked, and I should pay attention to one or two."
"This ......"
Long San groaned a little and said: "With the skills of a young man, some small gangs and small forces are naturally not in the eyes, and there are only three people who can be called big masters, Yang Dongsheng, the leader of the Yiqi Gang 'Yi Bo Yuntian', and the owner of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion 'Sky Turning Monkey' Old Man Yuan, whose apprentices are all over the black and white roads of Dongling Mansion, and there is Zheng Ye, the head of the Zheng family, nicknamed 'Mixed Golden Knife', I heard that the Zheng family and the Hou Mansion have an in-law relationship. ”
"These three people are all well-known masters at the peak of the Inner Qi Realm, not to mention the prestige and power, it is a blessing that an Inner Qi Realm martial artist like me can make a move under them."
Ryuzo thought for a moment and added:
"In fact, a few months ago, there was a Seven Xuanmen, which was stronger than the three major forces, and it had been entrenched in the Dongling Mansion for more than a thousand years, but it was a pity that it was slaughtered by Wei Xian, the great disciple of the Golden Dao Sect in the six major sects."
He looked awe-inspiring.
"Oh? Why is that? Jiang Ding said with interest: "I remember that the Golden Dao Gate is a gate sect near the capital, why did you come all the way to our place to destroy the gate?" ”
"These sects have always been domineering, and even the government has rarely taken care of them in recent years, who can know."
"But there are some rumors in the city."
Ryuzo thought for a moment.
"It is said that the Golden Dao Ancestor of the Golden Dao Gate fell in love with a treasure of the Seven Xuanmen, named Tianyin Stone, which was left by the Seven Xuanmen who dominated the martial arts thousands of years ago.
Jiang Ding's heart moved, as if he remembered something, and after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing.
"Some people also say that it is an enemy of the Golden Sword Ancestor who is related to the Seven Xuanmen, so he sent his eldest disciple to Tu Qixuanmen to vent his anger."
"And he said that it has something to do with beauty......
"In short, it's scattered, and there's everything to say." Long San smiled bitterly: "We little people, we probably can't take what we hear true, so we can relieve boredom when we drink." ”
Jiang Ding also smiled: "Is that Golden Dao Sect senior disciple still in Dongling City?" I kind of didn't want to go. ”
The dragon tightened on three sides.
"Gone, gone! Shaoxia rest assured, Dongling City is just a small remote place for Tianjiao, who is the ninth on the Dragon and Phoenix List, if it wasn't for his master's orders, how could Wei Xian, the 'Sea Splitting Knife', be willing to come here? ”
Sea-splitting knife?
Jiang Ding was speechless, these people really dare to blow, I'm afraid that Jindan real people don't dare to say that the sea is split.
"This kind of Tianjiao is the real husband!"
Long San said with a little yearning: "What I saw with my own eyes that day, the gold and silver treasures, people's fat and people's ointment pulled down from the Qixuanmen Mountain alone filled more than a dozen carts, and the last float full of beauties was even more coveted. ”
"This is the dream daughter of the old man Yuan and the head of the Zheng family, who couldn't be asked for when they were young, and they were lucky to be hugged by the master of the Qixuanmen Gate, and they don't want to ...... now Alas. ”
"That's right."
Jiang Ding remembered one thing: "Isn't there also a dragon and phoenix list Tianjiao in the Seven Xuanmen, what is it called the Flying Snow Fairy?" Did it also fall into the hands of that 'Sea Splitting Knife'? ”
"You're talking about the ninety-eighth 'Flying Snow Fairy' Gong Caiyu on the Dragon and Phoenix List, right? She is the daughter of the Lingyin Fairy, and her appearance is also a national color and fragrance, but she didn't see it that day, and she didn't hear about it later. ”
Looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and fields slowly backward outside the window, the two chatted casually, and Jiang Ding had a general impression of Dongling City.
Along the way, the caravan stopped in small towns, villages and other places from time to time to replenish food and water, rest animal power, and Jiang Ding was also able to see some customs and customs.
In general, it is probably similar to what Xianmen looked like during the ancient feudal society.
Body Refining Realm martial artists have hundreds of catties of huge power in one arm, and Inner Qi Realm martial artists are even more powerful, but it seems that they don't have the idea of using this power in agricultural handicraft production and labor to increase productivity.
The vast majority of warriors choose violent occupations that do not directly produce products, such as dart masters, guards, gang members, and the military, even if they face life and death from time to time, they cannot be called safe and stable.
Four or five hours later, just as Jiang Ding was thinking about whether to stay up all night today, a tall city in the distance was in sight.
Closer, it was found that the city wall was 112 meters high and 156 meters wide, and there were a large number of armored soldiers guarding the city gate, and they were motionless on a hot day.
Those who pick firewood, sell goods, sing operas, pour night incense, and people from all walks of life line up to enter the city in an orderly manner.
Jiang Ding carefully took a look at these soldiers, and his expression was correct: "The soldiers in the city are quite elite. ”
The three realms of refining the body, and the inner qi realm are all mortals, once they fall into cities, plains and other areas and are besieged by the army with strong bows and crossbows, no matter how strong they are, they will not be able to withstand it, and they will definitely die.
"Nature."
Long San said solemnly: "The Marquis of Zhendong is one of the twelve generals of Tianyun who followed Taizu to conquer the country, ranking ninth in Tianyun Pavilion, and his martial arts in governing the army are naturally good, and he has not declined yet. ”
"The city is said to be the three major forces, but in fact, they are not as good as the Hou Mansion."
At the gate of the city, the tax collectors each charged a penny to enter the city, and the goods were counted separately, seeing that Long San's face was as usual, he should not have charged more, nor did he collect less, and he did not guess the possible difficulties in it.
Jiang Ding didn't have a penny, so Long San helped him out.
After entering the city, Jiang Ding arched his hand to Long Sanyi: "I want to open a grocery store in the city, Long is in charge, can you introduce one or two ways, don't ask for a good location, as long as you settle down temporarily, the commission will not let you suffer." ”
This was his plan, to open a grocery store, and to buy all kinds of specimens dug and captured by the locals for a certain amount of money.
Of course, the specimen is very demanding in all aspects, so it is pre-trained.
"Hey, hey......"
Long San took half a step back and waved his hand again and again: "Shaoxia tortured me, you saved my life, you just ordered these little things, why bother?" ”
"Not really." Jiang Ding said seriously: "As I said before, since I have received your generous gift, this matter has been closed, don't mention it again." ”
"Shaoxia, just a few dozen taels of silver......"
"No, that's enough." Jiang Ding said with a smile: "You are also a trader, so you naturally know that the value is never certain, as long as the buyer and seller approve it, the money and goods will be cleared, and you must not be entangled." ”
"Alas, Shaoxia, I can't tell you, since you want to open a store, I'll send a guy who is familiar with this matter to do things for you later, and there is no need to talk about the commission."
Ryuzo smiled bitterly.
The small businessman who runs a grocery store is not compatible with this young man in Tsing Yi with a sword who kills people without blinking, it is too inconsistent.
Of course, he didn't ask much, it was someone else's business.
