This town is called Nandao County, although it is not big, it looks prosperous, and it has the feeling of arriving in Ning'an County at the beginning of that year.

But after careful comparison, this side is naturally far behind, at least from some of the people's expressions, you can see the obvious difference.

If you want to describe it, the difference is that everyone in Ning'an County can live and work in peace and contentment, and the thoughts on the faces of the people here reveal a certain anxiety.

Soon after entering the city, there is a market, and the streets are very crowded, and there are people who come and go, plus cars and horses, and some places have to be abandoned.

Ji Yuan was dressed in a white shirt, walking slowly or urgently, with his sideburns scattered, and a black hosta that looked excellent in his bun, and more importantly, there was only one person.

After walking on the street for a while, Ji Yuan found that he was targeted by several groups of people, judging from the sight he felt and the words he heard, these people almost didn't have any good intentions, either thinking about stealing, or even wanting to kill them.

'The world is so hot and cold, this law and order is really not flattering. ’

sighed in his heart, Ji Yuan didn't pay much attention to it, his pace sped up a little, and he walked around left and right to throw off several groups of people.

Passing by a stall on a street corner, Ji Yuan stopped.

This stall is a dry cake shop, but it is different from the ones that Ji Yuan bought before, when he happened to pass by, he saw that the owner of this cake made two large iron molds were baked to the upper and lower two pieces of cake noodles respectively, which embedded a kind of salted dried vegetables, and after closing it was also sprinkled with some sesame seeds with powder, Ji Yuan wanted to try it when he smelled it.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these cakes?"

Ji Yuan saw that there was no sound in the stall for the time being, so he stopped in front of the stall and asked.

The old man who made the cake looked up and saw that it was a gentleman who looked like a scholar, which could not be said to be very rare in Nandao County, but at least it was rare, and the accent did not look like a local.

"This cake sells for two cents alone, and if it costs eight cents for a catty, there are about five cakes. ”

"Oh, may I taste the dried vegetables?"

"The taste of dried vegetables?"

The old man felt a little strange, but after hesitating, he nodded, and stretched out his hand to Ji Yuan with the dried vegetables in the pottery jar of some of his stalls.

Ji Yuan tasted it, and smiled as he tasted the familiar salty fragrance.

"The shopkeeper's ancestral home is from Dazhen Jizhou, right?"

"Well, that's not ......"

The old man said a word, as if he suddenly thought of something, and immediately said again.

"It seems that Mr. is knowledgeable, and I won't tell you that this dried vegetable was indeed taught by a Dazhen person back then, and as for where he came from, the old man didn't know. ”

Ji Yuan nodded.

"I see, the bothersome shop weighed me ten catties of cakes. ”

"Ten pounds?"

"Not bad, ten pounds!"

"Hey, hey, guest officer, wait a minute, the ready-made one is only a little more than six catties, I'll make it for you right away, and it'll be fine right away!"

Ten catties of cakes are big business for the old man, and if they are sold out, most of today's goods can be gone.

The old man was quick with his hands and feet, chatting with Ji Yuan while making cakes, and after a while, he finished making ten catties of cakes.

After the scale, he naturally had to pay, he took out the money bag, it looked bulging, but look inside, the copper coins that accounted for the majority of the money, printed with "Yuande Tongbao", since it is Dazhen's coin, of course, it is not in circulation, so he had to take out a broken silver.

"Here, the store will weigh the silver first. ”

"Oh oh good, the guest officer gave him silver!"

This old man has never been out of Nandao County much, and he doesn't know what is going on in other places, but in Nandao County, sometimes copper coins are very confusing, and the two pennies and one cake in his mouth refer to the standard kind.

But many copper coins are actually not up to standard, and the private money cast is adulterated, and some copper coins are very exaggerated and can be printed with one as ten, but there is no weight, and many people do not recognize it.

In this case, gold and silver are extremely precious, and their purchasing power is far greater, and they can often be exchanged for copper coins that are worth more than they ought to be.

Many people directly use silver to buy a large amount of "real material money", and then melt it and then mix it with private casting, and one tael of silver can be used as the value of three or four taels of silver.

It is rare to buy cakes directly for silver, and the old man estimated that there were almost no copper coins in the money bag.

Seeing the silver of the white flowers, the shopkeeper was very happy in his heart, his face was ruddy, and he weighed the weight, with this broken silver, he originally earned forty yuan, but now it is estimated that he can finally earn more than one hundred and fifty yuan.

A few locations a little farther away, some eyes had already seen Ji Yuan's bulging money bag in their eyes, and even more clearly saw the silver taken out, and there were people in the corner of the back wall of the truck.

"It's a big fish, and I'm afraid that the money bag is all white and yellow!"

"That's right...... And that hosta, I just passed by and looked at it carefully, it's priceless!"

"Shh......h Walk. ”

The old man in the stall tied the cake into a string with hemp rope, handed it to Ji Yuan, and whispered after looking left and right.

"Sir, you are a foreigner, as far as the old man is concerned, some people have already targeted you, you, be careful!"

Ji Yuan is funny and kind and gentle, it is easy to attract people's affection, the old man has seen more things, and naturally sees that there are eyes around him who have bad intentions towards this big gentleman, and he can't help but remind him.

Ji Yuan smiled and arched his hand towards the old man before taking the cake.

"Thank you for reminding the store, if you save something, you will naturally be careful. ”

After speaking, Ji Yuan turned around and strode away with the cakes, walked around for a while, and when he passed by an alley, the string of cakes in his hand had disappeared.

In the distance behind, several men have been struggling to follow Ji Yuan closely.

"Whew...... Call...... This man, this man walks so fast. ”

"Ho...... yes, look at his sven ...... Hey, where is the bread in his hand, why is it missing?"

"What do you care about the cake? As long as people are not wrong!" "Let's go, let's go!"

"Yes, yes, you can't lose it. ”

The people in front of them couldn't stop at their feet, and a few people couldn't rest, so they barely breathed a few breaths and accelerated to chase after them.

Ji Yuan has been walking in front of him, and the others have either been thrown away or given up, but the group behind him has been chasing after him.

It's not that he can't get out casually with blindfolding, but listening to them talking about topics such as "slaughtering a few fat sheep", Ji Yuan doesn't want them to lose it.

In the evening, Ji Yuan was already out of the city in the middle of going around, and the nine people who followed behind him never lost it, which shows the strength of his determination.

There is a pavilion five miles north of the county seat of Nandao, which is simply and rudely named "Wuli Pavilion", Ji Yuan stopped here, took out a cake and sat in the pavilion to eat.

Because it's newly made today, although it's not soft, it's still good to eat, at least it's not a tooth that hasn't been baked.

The nine people who followed Ji Yuan were hiding behind the low hill full of trees in the distance, but they were out of breath at the moment, and they were also resting to recover their strength.

By the time Ji Yuan finished eating a cake slowly, the nine people over there had almost rested, and approached Wuli Pavilion with a rope sleeve and a guy.

As the saying goes, the hideousness of the faces of the nine people at the moment is more worthy of the word vicious than the previous bazi.

"That scholar, you can run very well, huh?"

"Hehe, hand over all the valuable things on you!"

The leading man was sturdy, carrying an iron whip, and the leader had not yet approached Wuli Pavilion, and his mouth was already arrogantly threatening, they had already seen it, and there was no one around Wuli Pavilion at all.

Ji Yuan shook the crumbs in his hand together, and after eating them in his mouth, he also clapped his hands and stood up, looking at the comer.

"If I drop something valuable, you can let me go?"

Nine people have already gathered on the edge of the Wuli Pavilion, and the leader looks up and down at Ji Yuandao.

"You don't worry about letting us go yourself, we have to search for it. ”

Ji Yuan nodded.

"Then let me go after a search?"

"Hahahaha...... It's a trouble to let you go, there is a wilderness around this Wuli Pavilion, and there are many wolves and beasts, which can just be killed or buried. ”

Ji Yuan heard this in his ears, looked at a few people in front of him, and suddenly smiled, although the vision of several people was very blurry, but the anger on their bodies was very obvious.

"Hehe, no negotiable?"

Ji Yuan actually laughed out loud, which made several people a little jealous.

"You, aren't you a master of the rivers and lakes?"

However, Ji Yuan didn't answer their words, but instead looked sideways at the woods on the side of the pavilion.

In Ji Yuan's ears, the sound of stampede and breaking the air approached, and after only two breaths, a black shadow flashed from the treetops in the forest.

"Zheng"

The sound of the long sword unsheathed was accompanied by the cold light of the sword body, and the person who came came together, and the moment it flashed in front of the pavilion, the sound of the sword blade entering the flesh sounded.

"Someone ......"

"Puff ......", "Puff......" "Puff......"

The blade slashed, the iron whip man and the three people around him didn't even react directly, and the sword fell to the ground, and the sword momentum of the person who came had stopped, turned in the air, stepped on the pavilion pillar to borrow strength, and swung the sword at the moment of turning to leap.

"Be careful......" "Hurry ......"

"Puff ......", "Puff......" "Puff......"

A few more people collapsed before they could even finish their sentences.

In an instant, the nine people gathered outside the pavilion had all fallen, and the one who came stood outside the pavilion, shook the blood stains on the sword, and returned the sword to its sheath.

"Good skills!"

Ji Yuan sincerely admired, standing at the height of a cultivator, this kind of means is naturally nothing, but he is also definitely a martial arts master, and he can also see the distinction of martial arts from the aspects of body method, moves, and use of true qi, and he is very good at human body swordsmanship.

"Mr. is still Mr., he is still beautiful for many years! I thought I was wrong just now, but I didn't expect it to be really Mr. You came here!"

Ji Yuan's eyes widened slightly, and he looked up and down at the visitor with a blurred vision.

The voice...... Are you Yan Shaoxia?Oh, now you have to be called Yan Daxia!"

The comer, dressed in a black suit, took a few steps closer to the pavilion and bowed to Ji Yuan with a sword.

"Yan Fei has seen Mr. Ji, but I didn't expect Mr. to remember me!"

Yan Fei raised his head and looked at Ji Yuan, if ordinary people only had a cursory glance, it would be difficult to find the abnormality of Ji Yuan's half-open eyes, but he could see the pair of pale eyes that were still fresh in his memory.

"Hehehe, the voices of several young heroes, Ji will never forget it for the rest of his life. ”

Yan Fei looked at the corpse on the side and asked with a smile.

"Sir, I killed nine people, do you have any opinion?"

Ji Yuan shook his head and smiled, he could see something from Yan Fei's decisiveness in taking out the sword.

"People die for money, birds die for food, what can you do if you don't have an opinion? If they don't listen, you may not listen. ”
