The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Shi Jiu was called up.

"It takes 80 miles to get from the village to the city, and there are many people who enter the city every day, and if you go late, you have to wait in a long line to enter the city gate, so we have to leave early." Brother Li said. He then began to carry the prey he had caught these days and put it in the wagon. Shi Jiu also wanted to contribute, so he also helped to carry the things that needed to be sold today into the carriage.

This time I entered the city, and the village prepared three carriages, one of which was occupied by women and children. Shi Jiu and the others sat in the first car, and the first and last two cars were both young and strong, and they all held weapons in their hands, bows and arrows, and long knives.

Brother Li told Shi Jiu that because there were horse bandits, every time he entered the city, the village would send someone to be responsible for protection, and the city lord of Liushan City was suppressing bandits recently, so the safety of the convoy was even more important.

Shi Jiu nodded, in addition to being a good hunter, Brother Li was also a good driver of the carriage, because he had to concentrate on driving, he was not chatting with Shi Jiu.

Because the sky had just dawned, it was a little dim outside, and Shi Jiu, who was not sleepy, looked out of the car, and in the empty four fields, except for the occasional birdsong, there was only the sound of wheels rolling, and in the distance, the continuous Hengduan Mountains were still visible.

Soon after, there were more carriages on the road, and everyone was heading in the same direction, Liushan City.

When the sky was completely bright, the speed of the carriage slowed down significantly, and Shi Jiu knew that it should be about to arrive. Sure enough, Brother Li, who was driving, turned his head and said with a smile: "We are about to arrive, and in front of us is the east gate of Liushan City." This must be your first time in town, right? Liushan City is the largest city within a radius of hundreds of miles, and although there are several cities around, they are not as big as it. Liushan City is very magnificent, after reading the doctor, I will take you to the city for a walk. ”

"Then it's going to trouble Brother Li." Shi Jiu thanked.

"You're welcome, we also have to buy some necessities in the city, by the way, there are many people in the city, you have to follow us closely, otherwise it will be easy to get separated." Brother Li instructed.

"Okay, I remember."

It didn't take long for a tall city gate tower to appear in front of Shi Jiu's eyes, the city gate was made of thousands or even tens of thousands of boulders, hundreds of round giant trees supported a 4-story attic on the city gate tower, the glazed tile eaves with red light surrounded the surroundings, and the city gate was in the middle, and it was carved with three big characters of Liushan City. In the attic, there were heavily armed soldiers patrolling the city gates.

At this time, a long queue had formed in front of the city gate tower, and at the front of the line, the soldiers guarding the city were checking one by one.

"Huh? There are a lot of soldiers today, there weren't so many before," Brother Li was a little puzzled.

When he saw the long queue in front of him, Brother Li was a little annoyed, "Hey, we're still late, but there are so many people entering the city today!" ”

Shi Jiu didn't care about what Brother Li said at the moment, his eyes looked at the white notice next to the city gate, although it was a little far away, Shi Jiu still saw a portrait painted on the poster, and there were a few lines of words below the portrait, and at the same time, the front of the notice was also crowded with onlookers.

Brother Li saw Shi Jiu staring at the notice in front of him, so he said, "Do you know who is drawn on the poster? ”

Shi Jiu shook his head.

"The picture on it is the leader of the horse bandits, that is, the criminal that the lord of the city is chasing with all his might." Brother Li explained.

Then Brother Li said: "But it's strange to say, in the past, bandits were suppressed from time to time, but they have never been as powerful as they are now. In the past, the city inspection was just casually checked, or even not checked, but now, if you look at the front, people and cars are checking. ”

Brother Li complained a little, "Hurry up, we still have a lot of things to do." ”

As the team slowly advanced, it was finally Shi Jiu's turn to inspect their convoy.

I saw Brother Li jump out of the carriage, holding a game he had just taken out of the car, walked to the soldier in charge of the inspection team, and then handed it over. The other party was not polite, took it directly, and then said: "Xiao Lizi, are you going to the city to sell mountain goods today?" ”

Brother Li replied with a smile: "Yes, Brother Qian, the village chief told me to go to the city today to sell the mountain goods I have hunted in the past few days, and then buy some things that the village needs to use, and by the way, take a few people from the village to Dr. Ge to see a doctor." ”

"Hmm." Subsequently, the soldiers in charge of the inspection began to check.

After checking to make sure that there was no one being pursued in the car, the soldier surnamed Qian asked Brother Li, "Have you seen horse bandits recently?" ”

"Horse bandits? No, I don't. Brother Li replied.

"Horse bandits are being hunted down in the city, and if you see them, report them in time." The soldier surnamed Qian picked up a painting and showed it to Brother Li.

"Okay, Brother Qian."

Because Shi Jiu was close, he also saw the portrait, and saw that the person in the portrait was middle-aged, and his appearance was okay, but there was a scar on one cheek, his hair was coiled, and he was wearing a pair of armor. On the right side of the portrait are written five large characters: horse bandit Ma Hongbo.

"Brother Qian, this time the battle is much bigger than before, what did those horse bandits do?" Looking at the horse bandit on the portrait, Brother Li asked.

"I heard that the horse bandit robbed our city lord of his things, and the city lord was furious, so he ordered the whole city to search and arrest him, and he must be arrested at all costs."

"Oh, no wonder! I said how come such a big battle, the city lord dares to rob everything, it's really fatal! ”

"Yes, you must know that our city lord's cultivation has reached the realm of strength, and he is recognized as the number one master in Liushan City, so the horse bandit is estimated to be crazy, otherwise who would dare to rob our city lord's things! But then again, Liushan City is so big, but it hurts us who are soldiers! I don't know when I'll be able to catch him. ”

"Yes, our people who have entered the city have suffered with them! Wait, what do you say? A city-wide search? Could it be that the horse bandits are in the city? Brother Li was surprised.

"It should be, anyway, the above explained that the whole city should be searched. Later, you will know when you enter the city, there are more soldiers in the city. For the sake of our acquaintance, I kindly remind you that don't wander around the city at night, otherwise you will be easily caught. ”

"Thank you Brother Qian for reminding me, my little brother understands." Brother Li said gratefully.

After the release, the convoy finally entered the city. The spacious streets are bustling with people and the sounds of hawkers are endless. The houses on both sides of the street are of different shapes, and from time to time various sounds can be heard from the houses. Everything shows the prosperity of Liushan City.

"This is Liushan City, you see people everywhere, it's really lively." Brother Li said with emotion.

While looking around, Shi Jiu also noticed that the buildings on both sides of the street were pasted with notices chasing horse bandits.

At this time, a group of soldiers passed by the convoy, and the leading soldier quickly approached, looked at Brother Li, and then checked the portrait in his hand, feeling that he had not walked away again.

"There are indeed more soldiers in the city, and the city is not very safe, so we have to hurry. Let's go, go and sell the stuff first. After speaking, Brother Li led everyone forward.

It didn't take long for them to come to a store called Deyun Trading House.

Brother Li pointed out: "This is the place where we often come to sell goods, although there are several others, but this one is the largest." ”

Then, Brother Li approached Shi Jiu again and whispered, "I heard that there is a city lord behind the scenes of this Deyun Commercial Bank. Not only that, but there are many industries in Liushan City that are owned by the city lord. So generally no one dares to make trouble, and that horse bandit may really be crazy. ”

After listening to Brother Li's words, Shi Jiu couldn't help but think, "The city lord of Liushan is recognized as the number one master, so why did the horse bandits still rob the city lord's things, is the thing they robbed very special?" In addition, what kind of cultivation is it in the realm of strength, it seems to have seen it! ”

Without waiting for Shi Jiu to finish thinking, Brother Li beckoned Shi Jiu and a few other villagers to unload the goods on the car and move into the store.

After entering the store, Brother Li skillfully led people to unload things onto the table on the right, and then a middle-aged man walked out of the counter in the store, and the middle-aged man walked to the table with the unloaded goods, and began to check it, and said: "Well, the goods are okay this time, Li Dazhuang, your receipt these days is not bad!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I hope the price can be more this time." Brother Li said respectfully.

"Well, this time, the goods are really good. There are many people outside, and we talk inside. After speaking, the shopkeeper took Brother Li into the inner hall.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper and Li Dazhuang to come out. Brother Li's expression is good, he should have sold it for a good price.

"Alright, next, it's time for us to go to Dr. Ge's." Brother Li said.

After speaking, Shi Jiu followed Brother Li and waited out of Deyun Commercial Bank, got into the car, and drove forward along the street.
