Chapter 67: Arriving at Hengshan City

The incident of encountering the Fenglan caravan did not have any impact on Ouyang Feng and the others, and they continued to roar along the way. At noon, the group simply ate and rested in the shade on the side of the road.

At this time, another group of people came over in the direction of Hengshan City, Ouyang Feng and the others had an experience, and after confirming that they were not bandits, the others did not move, but Ouyang Feng stepped forward alone to negotiate with the caravan guards, and explained that after encountering the Fenglan Chamber of Commerce, he watched the small caravan of more than a dozen carriages pass by with confidence and boldness, chasing the Fenglan caravan, it seems that he intends to follow behind the Fenglan caravan and reduce the probability of being robbed by bandits.

Not only did the small caravan get useful information from Ouyang Feng's mouth, but Ouyang Feng also inquired about something that had always made him curious, why did he not take a new trade route, and now there was a caravan that did not hesitate to go far and come to this trade route that had been abandoned for many years.

I learned from the head of the guard of the small caravan that the city lord of Juyan City was negligent last year, and the son of the city lord inherited the position of the city lord, which is nothing, who is the city lord actually has little impact on them small merchants, but after the young city lord took office, he increased the toll of the new trade route by five times regardless of persuasion, and directly charged five layers of the profits of each caravan, which made the hard-working merchants complain, paid the tolls, and then removed the people and labor costs, etc., and they couldn't make much money at all.

However, in order to make a living, the merchants had no choice but to bite the bill and decided to unite to raise prices to compensate for the loss of tolls. However, when the young lord of Boulder noticed that the prices in the city were skyrocketing, he summoned all the merchants and ordered him to lower them, but the merchants promised to their faces that they would do so when they returned. Since then, the lord of the city has not come forward again, but the new trade route has been very uneven recently, and several small and medium-sized caravans have been robbed one after another, and not a single one has been left alive. Under these circumstances, some caravans decided not to take the new trade route, but to take the old trade route, but the strength of these caravans was not strong, so they did not set off for a long time, waiting in Yokoyama Castle to observe the movements of all parties.

Until yesterday, the large caravan of the Fenglan caravan left Hengshan City and embarked on this deserted trade route, and the other caravans hurriedly set off after learning the news, because with the large caravan of the Fenglan caravan in front of the road, they would be relatively safe to follow behind.

After resting for half an hour, Ouyang Feng and his party set off again, for a whole afternoon, until the evening camping, Ouyang Feng and they encountered a total of more than a dozen caravans, large and small, and when they rested at night, there were several small caravans gathered together to hurry, obviously they got the news and rushed overnight in the hope of catching up with the caravan in front. There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning Ouyang Feng and his party set off again, encountering more and more caravans on the road, and there was also a large caravan no less than the Fenglan caravan, behind him, not far from a dozen small caravans, the guards of these caravans did not take Ouyang Feng and the others seriously at all, just simply interrogated a few words, and Ouyang Feng was a little annoyed to answer almost the same question every time, so he simply found a wooden board to make a sign and asked Pei Di to write on it. We are a street fighter mercenary team, heading to Hengshan City, we met the Fenglan caravan at noon yesterday, and followed by a dozen caravans at intervals, and we didn't encounter bandits on the road. After that, whenever a caravan guard came to ask, Ouyang Feng would hold up the sign, and those guards couldn't help but smile and turn away after seeing the content on the sign.

Of course, along the way, there were also many caravan directors who were very interested in the bicycle that the rice bucket was riding, and paid a lot of money to buy it, but they were all rejected by Ouyang Feng.

A whole morning passed, and the outline of Yokoyama Castle finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and as it got closer and closer, Yokoyama Castle became clearer and clearer.

Hengshan City, located at the foot of the mountain in the south of the Hengduan Mountains, is built on a small plain a few miles east of the trade road, with a bluestone city wall more than ten meters high, and the city wall is densely packed with various runes. On the city wall, there are samurai patrols wearing uniform leather armor, and above the city gate, there is a golden flag, embroidered with a fangs and claws, imposing, and surrounded by flames of colored five-clawed golden dragons.

Ouyang Feng and the four of them felt very cordial when they saw the golden dragon on the flag, after all, everyone was from the earth, and the divine dragon was the totem in their hearts.

Pei Di saw the four masters looking at the big flag above the city gate in a daze, and took the initiative to step forward and explain: "I heard that the city lord of Hengshan City is a cultivator of the Dan period called Huolong Zhenren, and this flag is his symbol. ”

Qingfeng was surprised and said with some expectation and worry, "Cultivator, is it from the Yuan Qi Continent or from another planet like us?"

Pei Di rolled his eyes and said, "This Fire Dragon True Person has been the city lord here for more than a hundred years, of course he is from our Yuan Qi Continent. ”

Mingyue pouted and said: "It's fighting spirit and magic, as well as cultivation and racial abilities, what kind of witchcraft and cultivators did you say before, you guys are really messy enough." ”

Pei Di shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, when cultivators from outside come to us, they will inevitably leave some inheritance, and after a long time, there will be more cultivation methods, so it will become what it is now." However, I heard that a long, long time ago, our Yuan Qi Continent was not called the Yuan Qi Continent, and at that time, we only had two cultivation methods here: magic and Dou Qi. ”

Ouyang Feng heard that there was a trace of helplessness and resentment in Peidi's tone, but Ouyang Feng could understand Peidi's mood, patted Peidi's shoulder and said, "Alas! Let's go into town. "Since listening to Ouyang Feng's story about the origin of the Yuan Qi War, Pei Di and Ouyang Feng have no previous annoyance, and what they said just now was only a feeling, and they didn't mean to target anyone.

Finding a remote corner near the city gate, Ouyang Feng put the bicycle and flatbed into the storage ring, and the group all wore veils, and then walked towards the south gate of Hengshan City.

At this time, there were five or six caravans of carriages waiting to enter the city outside the south gate of Hengshan City, and Ouyang Feng and the others did not have large items such as carriages, so naturally they did not have to wait to line up in the back, and walked directly from the side of the convoy to the city gate.

When they came to the city gate, Ouyang Feng and his party were stopped by a team of leather armor guards, and the little leader glanced at Ouyang Feng and the others, pointed to the sign on the wall and ignored them and said, "Each person pays ten silver coins to enter the city." ”

Ouyang Feng and the others were stunned when they heard this, no one thought that they would need money to enter the city, and after looking at each other, Ouyang Feng asked Hongshang in a low voice: "Big boss, do we have gold coins, silver coins or something?"

Hongshang shook her head and said, "No." ”

Ouyang Feng turned his head and asked Pei Di and the four of them: "What about you, if you have any words, take it out and call the city gate tax first, and then return it to you later." The four of them fumbled for a long time, and in the end, they only managed to scrape together thirteen silver coins, which were still distributed after the previous robbery.

The little leader saw that Ouyang Feng and the eight people only took out a dozen silver coins, and couldn't help but say disdainfully: "It's not bad, but I didn't expect it to be poor ghosts." Go, if you don't have any money, go on the side, don't block the people behind you from entering the city. As he spoke, he waved his hand and blasted Ouyang Feng and the others away like chasing flies.

Mingyue was furious when she saw this, and was about to step forward to teach the little boss a lesson, but was pulled by Ouyang Feng, and at the same time, Ouyang Feng's voice sounded in her head: "Don't be impulsive, keep a low profile, keep a low profile, otherwise it will be troublesome to leak your whereabouts." Mingyue calmed down when she heard this, glared at the little leader, and then turned her head to look away.

Ouyang Feng smiled and leaned over to the little boss and said, "This, uh, friend, can you be accommodating, we really don't have any gold coins on us, but we can replace it with something else, what do you think?"

The little leader looked at Ouyang Feng with slanted eyes, and said with a disdainful expression: "Something else? You are all poor like this, what good things can you come up with? Don't fool me with those rags." ”

As soon as Ouyang Feng heard that there was a play, he hurriedly sent a message to Hongsheng and said, "Senior sister, do we have anything else suitable?"

Hongshang thought for a while and said, "There are the furs of the demonic beasts and some materials on their bodies, as well as the magic crystals, and the rest are spirit stones." Ouyang Feng frowned when he heard this, these things can't be taken out in front of so many people, otherwise they will be remembered.

After hesitating for a moment, Ouyang Feng said, "By the way, don't we have moonstones, that thing should be fine." "There are a lot of moonstones in the cultivation realm, and they are basically used for lighting at night, and before coming, Hongshang also brought a lot of them.

The red dress put her hand into her arms in a mock way, and when she took it out, there was already an extra moonstone the size of a pigeon's egg in her hand. Ouyang Feng didn't know if the Dao Moonstone was worth anything in this world, so he took the moonstone and handed it to the little leader, and said with a little weakness: "Do you think this thing is okay?"

The little boss took the moonstone and looked at it, frowned and said, "What is this, isn't it just a bead?"

Ouyang Feng smiled and said: "This is not an ordinary bead, it is a pearl of the night, it can shine at night." ”

The little leader's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with some disbelief: "Really?"

Ouyang Feng nodded again and again and said, "Of course, I don't believe you can try it in the dark." ”

The little leader suspiciously put the moonstone polished into a bead into his arms, blocked the light with his hand and looked at it, and sure enough, this inconspicuous bead actually emitted a soft silver light. The little leader swallowed his saliva, looked at Ouyang Feng and the others, gritted his teeth in the end, and still didn't dare to accept the moonstone, and handed the moonstone back to Ouyang Feng with a smile on his face and said, "This young master, don't make me happy, you should put away such a valuable thing." From the expression on the face of the little leader and the changed title, Ouyang Feng concluded that something like moonstone should be quite valuable in the eyes of ordinary people in this world, and he was happy and began to worry at the same time, because they really didn't have anything suitable for taking out it as a city gate tax.
