Chapter 26: Seeing the World

Shangguan Peng finally left the countryside of Shannan Sandao.

Riding on a horse, Shangguan Peng looked at the city in front of him, which made the city leave Jiannan Road and enter Xishui City, the first city of Yuyang Road, the city wall alone is more than twice as high as Shanyang City, and the soldiers guarding the city at the gate of the city also have the strength to not enter the stream, this is unthinkable in Shannan Sandao, and the soldiers with such strength are at least grassroots officers, which is too luxurious.

Shangguan Peng hit a horse and entered the city, and he felt that the eyes of those unpopular city guards were full of contempt when they looked at him, looking at the poor boy in the countryside, Shangguan Peng was on fire in his heart, Lao Tzu is a countryman, and his strength is so much higher than you, not to mention that the countryman eats your food.

Not with this group of dogs looking at people in general knowledge, turn over and dismount, lead the horse along the street, is more lively than Jiannan Road, there are also some Shannan Sandao does not have *** such as Dan pharmacies, bookstores, other cities may be in a hurry, but Nanshan City absolutely does not have these two kinds of shops, as well as auction houses, Treasure Pavilion dedicated to the service of martial artists, and so on.

Since he left the countryside, he will have a good rest today, Shangguan Peng opened a room in the inn, put down his luggage and turned around and went to the street.

Wandering aimlessly on the street, he walked to the Treasure Pavilion, and his own maid introduced Shangguan Peng into the store, Shangguan Peng saw that this maid had the cultivation of the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow, and couldn't help but smack his tongue.

On the first floor of the store, there are all kinds of precious medicinal materials, swords, ores and some things, Shangguan Peng doesn't know what to use it for, although Shangguan Peng has refined medicine with Lian Shanwei, but it is only limited to dealing with concocted medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials are not used for the time being, look at the sword.

"This young man, I'm going to see some good goods, our Treasure Pavilion has branches in the entire Yuyang Road, and the goods are complete, so we can guarantee that you will return satisfied," a middle-aged man who was extremely shrewd at a glance and had a rich body said to Shangguan Peng.

"Look at the weapon, I use a knife" The middle-aged man led Shangguan Peng to the weapon rack, and there were only a dozen knives hanging on the knife holder, which was much better than the army-style waist knife used by Shangguan Peng.

"This young man, please see, we have a thousand refined iron and rare ores made of various styles of knives, as well as knives made of rare ores, you can take a look, there is no agreement. ”

Shangguan Peng took a fancy to a treasure knife in the style of a Tang straight knife, picked it up, and waved it twice, the weight was a little light, but the style was very kind.

"Xia Shao, the main body of this knife is made of thousands of refined iron, red copper is added, the toughness is increased, it is very sharp, the whole knife weighs twenty-three pounds and seven taels, Xia Shao is still satisfied" The person who looked like a shopkeeper smiled.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this knife, it's barely a good hand when you use it. Shangguan Peng deliberately belittled the knife, wanting to suppress the price.

"It's not expensive, this knife is worth three hundred and twenty taels of silver, and it is priceless for a worthy weapon in the rivers and lakes. ”

"It's not expensive, if only it could be a little heavier," Shangguan Peng thought to himself.

"Shopkeeper, is there a heavier knife, although this is barely enough, but it is a little light, I always feel that the chopping is not fun," Shangguan Peng asked.

"Yes, Shaoxia, please look at this knife, it is still a straight knife style, this knife is made of silver star steel, with a little fire copper, silver star steel is the most tough in all irons, and it is extremely hard, fire copper covers the blade can increase the sharpness, the whole knife weighs thirty-two pounds and three taels, you can try it." ”

Shangguan Peng picked up the knife and made a chopping and flirting action, and it felt very good, and there was no astringent feeling in the dance.

"How much" Shangguan Peng did not talk nonsense.

"Shaoxia, the price of this knife is two thousand four hundred taels," Seeing that the business was about to be negotiated, the shopkeeper didn't talk nonsense, and directly quoted the price.

"I want it, put it in its scabbard. ”

"No problem, the shop has a good scabbard for swallowing the fish skin, do you want to see anything else. "The shopkeeper is very happy, and he has made a lot of money this time.

Shangguan Peng raised his eyes and looked at the weapons around him, "Are there any long whips and daggers?"

The shopkeeper led Shangguan Peng to the other weapon counters, and finally Shangguan Peng bought a long whip woven of purple gold and red copper wire and a fiery copper dagger.

Out of the Treasure Pavilion, Shangguan Peng thought to himself, "It's really poor and rich, three weapons cost nearly four thousand five hundred taels of silver, quite the meaning of the words, this is only a mortal-level weapon, there are better ones on it." "Shangguan Peng saved about 20,000 taels of silver several times to suppress bandits, which cost a quarter of it.

After putting away the whip and hanging it on his waist, the dagger was inserted into his boots, and Guan Peng, with a knife, walked into the restaurant, and did not want a private room, sat in the corner of the lobby, ordered a few signature dishes to eat and drink, and while eating and drinking, he pricked up his ears and listened to the chats of those people in the lobby.

Recently, the biggest one is one of the three major factions of Yuyang Road, the Yunshui faction and the pack gang for the newly discovered cold iron mine, it is said that the two sides do not give in, have played a real fire, countless casualties, the war has spread to ordinary people, Yuyang Dao Wuyun Division intervened, on the one hand, to suppress the arrogance of the two factions, on the other hand, the cold iron ore is also an important strategic resource, the Universiade court is also ready to get a piece of the pie.

Due to the war between the two factions, the level of public security has declined, and the thieves who have recently blocked the road and robbed Yuyang Road have also increased, the trade route is not very peaceful, many small caravans have been robbed, and it is already lucky to take only the goods, some caravans have been slaughtered directly, and the business of Yuyang Road has also been hit hard for a while, and the bodyguard industry has become popular.

These Shangguan Peng didn't take it to heart, it was difficult for him to attract the attention of the robbers alone, and the level of the rivers and lakes in Yuyang Dao was higher than that of the three roads in Shannan, with his skills, he should be able to keep himself safe and sound, and besides, he had just changed to a new weapon, Shangguan Peng was still a little eager to try, and wanted to touch a thief to make a profit.

So I didn't pay attention to the news, but concentrated on dealing with the wine and food in front of me, compared with Nanshan City, it is not unreasonable that Yuyang Road is prosperous, the wine and food are much more exquisite than Nanshan City, the seasoning is much better, and Shangguan Peng is very comfortable to eat.

After eating, wandering around the city, looking east and west, buying a lot of snacks to try, along the way, relying on the alchemy that was already at the consummation level, Shangguan Peng's observation was meticulous, and he found that the shops and streets seemed to be divided into camps, probably controlled by gangs.

There are always a few people dressed like hooligans sitting in the tea houses and wine stalls in the streets and alleys, looking at the pedestrians on the street.

Shangguan Peng knew in his heart that this was the old boy with the characteristics of Dayun, they also made a living by playing turf and collecting protection fees, and those gangsters in the teahouse and wine stall were the little brothers who watched the field, sitting in their own land.

Sure enough, there is black and white, especially Da Yun has a tacit attitude towards the existence of these gangs, as long as he does not harm ordinary people at will, the fight of people in the rivers and lakes can be carried out secretly, and the government ignores it.

Of course, this is also due to the control ability of the Wuyun Division, the Dayun Wuyun Division suppresses the rivers and lakes, who dares to scare the hair, so the people in the rivers and lakes dare not bully ordinary people too much.
