Chapter Eighty-Six: Descending the Dragon Pass

Obviously, although Xunzhou was turned upside down, he did not suspect Lin Fengjin, so after being inspected at the Guancheng office, Lin Fengjin entered the Guancheng without much effort.

Although the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that outsiders cannot stay in the city at any time, however, the long-term peace in the Dragon Pass has turned a deaf ear, except for a few military forbidden places, this Dragon Pass is already so prosperous that it is not less than Xunzhou, there are bright lanterns everywhere, the little two who solicit customers, the shouting of Mali, the street is full of people coming and going, bustling, and there is a smell of steaming cow dung and horse manure unique to the traffic center.

At this time, Lin Fengjin was still carrying the bookcase of "angry rain", dressed as a poor student, and slowly walked in the gate of the Dragon Pass. Although he had never seen the black bone protrusion before, Lin Fengjin could already know from some of the details he observed at this time that this person lived up to his name.

Although it has been peaceful for 20 years, the repair of this Guancheng has not stopped, and although the Guancheng is prosperous, the supervision and guarding of several key places in the heart are extremely strict, showing a trend of loosening on the outside and tightening on the inside. From these details alone, it can be seen that the black bone protrusion does have the talent to govern the army.

And the business and travel in this gate are prosperous, and the sergeants guarding the door when entering the customs are also awe-inspiring and have no favoritism, so a large part of the gray income must fall into the hands of the black bone protrusion, which reflects that the black bone protrusion is even more capable of governing the country!

The state's restraint on the army is, first, to threaten the rest of the strong army, and second, to block the army's food and salary. If the general will train the troops again and cut off the food and salary, then no matter how elite the troops are, they will only be scattered. However, once the general not only has the ability to govern the army, but also the ability to govern the country, and trains a strong army, he will accumulate a lot of wealth. It is the trend of self-sufficiency. As long as the situation is right, you can move with the camera and become a prince.

In fact, Li Hu is also on this path, but Li Hu was instigated by Lin Fengjin to do much more low-key than this black bone protrusion, at this time, he actually "disarmed" his own command to only 5,000 people left, and he was even more humble in the letter to his boss, almost like a gray grandson, how low-key and low-key he was, and I really don't know how many people were deceived.

According to the information found by the Lin family firm before coming. Lin Feng waved his hand again and again, declined the invitation of those very courteous juniors on the side of the road, and finally came to a very large and bright inn.

At this time, after all, the Tang Dynasty and Xirong are still enemy countries, so it is impossible to openly let people out here in the Dragon Pass, and sometimes, if you are a bitch, the archway still has to be erected, unless it is a black bone protrusion that you want to rebel.

So, these inns in Kannai. Nine times out of ten, there can be a way out of the customs, because many of the owners behind these inns are the guards of the level. And the main thing behind this "Ping An Inn" is the widest way. The hardest in the background.

If you want to get out of the customs as much as possible, although it costs the most money to find him, you get what you pay for, and the speed of customs exit is also the fastest.

Lin Fengjin came to the Ping An Inn. asked for an upper room, sighed, and shook his head again and again. The shopkeeper is also a pair of sharp eyes. Seeing that Lin Fengjin was a harmless true scholar, and it seemed that something was wrong, he really hit the plan, so he couldn't help but say loudly:

"Xiucai Gong has something to do, and he's depressed. ”

Lin Fengjin bit the hook very simply and said:

"I have an urgent matter to go to Xijon, and I heard that there is a shortcut here, but the door is not open at all, how is this good?"

The shopkeeper didn't know how many similar businesses he had received, so he immediately patted his chest and said with a smile:

"Xiucaigong, let's not hide it, we haven't had a war here for 20 years, so where is there a reason why this gate can't be opened, otherwise, what are so many businessmen running here to do? Naturally, they are all aiming to clear the customs and make a fortune from those Xirong barbarians on the other side. Besides, it's not just the people in us who are going to go out, but the traders who have made a fortune are also going to come in. ”

Lin Fengjin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said urgently:

"Oh, is this really true? Is it difficult to get out?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said:

"Well, it's not difficult to say, it's not difficult to say, it's really a little difficult. ”

Lin Feng listened to him sell Guan Zi Rao bend like this, so he said impatiently:

"Shopkeeper, I'm also traveling everywhere to study, and I've walked so many hundreds of miles, so you can just make a price out. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said:

"As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by chance, the general rule of this customs is to get together 500 people and leave, Ming'er just happened to switch, I went to a private school in my early years, so although I couldn't read out, I also admired the reader. It's just that Xiucai Gong is single and has no goods, and if the soldiers at this door are interrogated, it is really embarrassing, and he will be arrested as a spy because of his impure motives, so the price is twenty taels of silver. Xiucaigong, if you miss tomorrow's morning, you will have to wait for two or three days. ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he immediately became angry and said:

"You shameless profiteer, I have no goods, and being single alone has become a reason to overcharge me? I am because my father has asthma all the year round, and the doctor said that I must blindly use the red scorpion of Xirong's specialty as a medicine to cut off the roots, otherwise it will be difficult to survive this winter, but we don't have this medicine there at all, I am doing my filial piety, how can I be regarded as a spy??! I only pay two taels of silver!!"

Before Lin Fengjin set off, he had done a series of very detailed investigations, and knew that this Dragon Descending Pass seemed to be loose and tight, and it seemed as if anyone could give money to pass the pass, but in fact, these innkeepers who made profits from it were all cronies of the black bone protrusion, or simply the subordinates of the black bone protrusion!

The role of these people is like the mesh of a fishing net, putting out those merchants who really come to do business, hand over money, and prosper the market, and weed out those with ulterior motives. Therefore, when Lin Fengjin faced the innkeeper, he also had to fight with him, and he couldn't be seen to have any flaws.

The two bargained for a long time, and in the end, the shopkeeper bit eight taels of silver and didn't let go, Lin Fengjin said dryly, so he counted tonight's room fee and tomorrow morning's breakfast into the eight taels of silver. Only then did he reluctantly muttered back to his room.

After watching Lin Fengjin go upstairs, the boss beckoned Xiao Er and whispered a few words to him, and it didn't take long for Xiao Er to take a parchment roll from outside, which said that the identification of Lin Fengjin's identity documents at the city gate was ticked, indicating that it was identified through Guò.

The boss thought about it, found a piece of paper, and wrote a line of words on it:

"Does Xijon have a rare drug like a red scorpion, which can cure asthma for many years?"

This piece of paper was quickly sent out by Xiao Er, waiting for something to be brought back. There is also an extra word "yes" on it.

After seeing this reply, the boss also wrote a "yellow" character next to Lin Fengjin's name on the parchment scroll, which is his surname, which not only indicates that this person was released from him, but also means that he confirmed that there is no suspicion here.

After a night of silence, Lin Fengjin was woken up by Xiao Er's knock on the door before the fifth watch the next morning, and then when he walked to the door of the store, there was already a person standing in front with a lantern. Faintly said:

"Everyone follows me, bring everything they should bring, and if they want to come back after they get out of customs, they will have to pay again. You can pay the cost of customs clearance now. You can give it later, but don't think about it. No loud noises on the road, no loud talking!"

At this time, it was still dark everywhere, and the man said lightly. There is a strong deterrent on his body, but Lin Fengjin knows that there is only that kind of murder. Only those who regard human life as if they were careless will give people this feeling.

When he had finished speaking, the man strode in front of him, and if he could look down from above, he could see that a large number of people had emerged from the various inns, led by the human arrows carrying lanterns, and then gathered together.

At the same time, the luggage and goods of these merchants were also concentrated in another place, and the people and goods were separated from the city, so as to achieve the maximum ability to control the security in the city. Lin Fengjin blended in the crowd, not at all inconspicuous, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Because of the large number of merchants who went out of the customs at this time, it was indeed a bit jaw-dropping, and it actually reached more than 500 people, and these more than 500 people could bring at least four or five thousand taels of silver to the black bone protrusion, according to the information of the Lin family, this black bone protrusion would be opened and closed almost twenty times a month, which means that there were eighty or ninety thousand taels of silver into the bag every month.

However, this is only the gray income of the black bone protrusion, and the military department of the Tang Dynasty still has to allocate military salaries, forage, etc. to him every month, and regularly replenish him with weapons, war horses, flags, and tents!

Such a large sum of money is estimated to be a curse rather than a blessing for anyone. Wu Gu Tu is one of the four famous generals in the world, of course, he knows that this money is a reason to cause trouble, and he will definitely not save this money, and when it comes to Zhishi, he will be slaughtered as a fat pig in vain!

So, what did he do with the money, or what would the black bone do with the money?

Lin Fengjin walked as he walked, and on the other hand, he also found that there were shadowy figures in the streets and alleys on both sides, but they were standing straight, and there was a sense of slaughter, these were obviously the defenders in this Dragon Descending Pass, it seemed that they were going to completely prevent trouble before it happened, and it also showed that the black bone protrusion had a strong control over this pass!

After 20 years of peace, these soldiers are very cautious, with the appearance of elite generals, but they do not have the taste of arrogant soldiers.

In fact, Lin Fengjin almost knew in his heart what Li Jian thought when he recruited the black bone protrusion, although he gave the black bone protrusion too much freedom when he surrendered, but this dragon descending pass fell into the hands of the black bone protrusion, which was always better than falling into the hands of the Xirong people.

Facts have proved that Li Jian's approach was right, and since then, the Descending Dragon Pass has been exchanged for 20 years of peace.

What's more, Li Jian was only in his early twenties when he recruited the black bone protrusion, and at that time the black bone protrusion was close to fifty years old, Li Jian's wishful thinking was also very simple, although the treatment he prescribed to the black bone protrusion was generous, but as long as he was in one day, he could still control the scene.

As far as the historical and social conditions at that time are concerned, the high-risk and high-risk profession of military generals usually does not live long, even if they do not die on the battlefield of fighting for their lives, they will often be crushed by old injuries.

Therefore, Li Jian felt that the black bone protrusion would live to be fifty or sixty years old, and when the scimitar general died, he would take back the dragon descending pass, which was not only justified, but also fulfilled the promise of letting the black bone protrusion be here back then.

At this time, the five countries coexisted and the competition was fierce, if the monarch was full of running trains, most of the subordinates would have to deviate from morality.

However, people are not as good as heaven, Li Jian has a good calculation here, but he never thought that the black bone protrusion would be more and more energetic and nourishing the more alive and alive, Li Jian not only did not wait for the news of the death of the black bone protrusion, but the black bone protrusion waited for the obituary of his death.

At this time, for the Xinjun of the Tang Dynasty, it goes without saying that the black bone protrusion has become a big trend. However, the place of descending Longguan is a very important strategic place, and the black bone suddenly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty for twenty years and there is no trace, if you do it rashly, let alone whether you can fight it or not, once the black bone is forced to descend to Xirong again, at this time, the belly of the Central Tang Dynasty will be exposed to the violent herdsmen of Xirong again.

Who can afford such a risk?

After a short journey, everyone who was going to go out of the customs was mixed together, buzzing from ear to ear, they were in a large open space at this time, and dozens of zhang in front of them was the closed gate of the Dragon Descending Pass.

At this time, you can see that the small door next to the gate slowly opened, and then a group of cold-faced government soldiers led these people's goods, ox carts or something, and rushed outside the gate one after another. "The goods pass first" and "the people pass again" This is the characteristic of the dragon pass.

At this moment, Lin Fengjin's nose suddenly smelled a strange smell, he couldn't help but be stunned, and carefully distinguished, this smell was actually the smell of the best snake he caught.

Since Lin Fengjin woke up from the five gods in his body, his five senses are far more sensitive than normal people, and the growth environment of the superb snake-seeking snake he captured is very special, but it grows in a forest with a strong breath similar to the pepper tree, so it is inevitable that the breath on the body is somewhat different from the rest of the snake-hunting, so it is very recognizable.

Didn't the best snake I caught be taken away by Gongsun Di? How could its breath appear here......?
