In August, the city of Sanshan was full of horse-drawn carts pulling mountain goods.

The chickpew mushroom of Cangshan, the flower and flame grass of Moshan, is the fattest time, in the next three months, from Baili Lane to the South City Gate, the long street of 500 steps, is the mountain goods market demarcated by the government, until the end of the year, there will be buyers here.

The veteran at the foot of the South City Gate, who had worked on the battlefield for 30 years, returned unscathed, and could have gone to Zhongzhou to get an official and a half-job, but he chose to return to Sanshan City and guard the South City Gate.

The city's restaurants and teahouses are clustered on both sides of Wanfu Street, and if you have a property here, you can live with a family just by renting it. The first two shops on Wanfu Street, Wanfu Restaurant and Huamanyuan, the two opposite shops, are famous in the Southern Wilderness, and even the gentry in Zhongzhou often visit in casual clothes.

For the sake of a few good dishes in the Wanfu Restaurant, and the girls in the garden.

Some people say that there are no taboos in Sanshan City, and in several alleys behind Wanfu Street, they are all wanderers from the rivers and lakes, who go out day and night, adding a different scenery to Sanshan City. Often in the cold light of the rising sun, there would be a few nameless corpses lying in the middle of the street, and of course there would be some broken bricks on the roof of the house the night before.

In this corner of the southern wilderness, even the appointment of the city lord was sent over in a carriage after more than a month. The official road is notoriously slow, otherwise the adults would not travel in civilian clothes.

The daytime here is shorter than that of Zhongzhou for more than an hour, perhaps to give the knights time to show their strengths, and every night is extremely quiet, without the sound of mosquitoes and beasts.

Shredded footsteps and intricately stitched night clothes zigzagged along the moonlit road, and there was only one shop open at night—the blacksmith shop in the north of the city.

Where there are rivers and lakes, it is indispensable to dance knives and guns, but whenever a chivalrous man is to be born, the blacksmith's waist is always the straightest.

The one-armed, out-of-the-ordinary hammer head is engraved with peach blossoms, and the owner of the blacksmith shop in the north of the city, Yuan Tingtai, has just heated the stove and moved the door panel, and the guests in night clothes arrive as scheduled.

He ignored the visitors who stepped over the threshold, and concentrated on tapping the iron on the forging table.

After a thousand hammer blows, the blacksmith wiped the sweat from his forehead with the wet towel on his shoulder, and said without raising his head: "What to build? drawings, goods, money." ”

The visitor was also familiar with this, unloaded the burden behind him, spread out the various materials on the table, and took out the drawings, on which three gold bars were pressed.

"Seven days later, a time, to pick. Yuan Tingtai doesn't like to talk, and he pounces on the forging furnace where the flames beat, and it has been forty years in a flash, and the furnace is more prosperous and the craftsmanship is more exquisite.

Suddenly, he walked out of the door with a hammer, and when he opened the shop, he had never seen the scene in front of the street.

The ears kept shaking, one, two, click, the sound of metal breaking, with the breeze coming, it seemed so fragile in the night.

"I asked him to add some money earlier, but he just refused, and there was less bright silver sand of three taels. Yuan Tiantai muttered to himself, and the hammer swung twice at will in the air, moving the door panel over, and closing it tonight.

Extending in the direction of his hammer, in a square courtyard in the back alley of Wanfu Street, leaning against the courtyard wall, stood a lean man with a beard, dressed in a short shirt, with round eyes, looking at the man in black facing him in disbelief, holding a broken sword in his hand.

This sword, which he built from Yuan Tiantai, was full of more than a dozen corpses, and as he fell to the ground, there was one more.

The man in black wiped the blood from the blade with a handkerchief, and then covered his opponent's face with a handkerchief, preventing the moonlight from irritating his godless eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he put his sword into the sheath and walked slowly to the door of the hall, which was hidden, and there was a young doll probing into his brain, who had witnessed all this happening.

The man in black pushed the two wooden doors inward, and the doll struck him in the waist with a small fist.

There was a wooden box on the table, and when I opened it, inside the wooden box was a delicate wrought copper forged token, a style commonly found in government armies, and there was no reason to appear here.

Those people in the courtyard did this thing, but they all fulfilled the beauty of others with their lives, and consumed the power of the broken sword, so that the man in black was able to pick the bright moon.

The doll was crying, and was also caught by the man in black around her waist, jumped over, and fell lightly into the street outside.

After three days, what happened here was noticed by the landlord, and the government came to several carriages, cleaned the site, and brought the corpse back to simply identify it, and after filing it, it was hastily buried.

In the tenant's information provided by the landlord, it is clearly written that the tenant's surname is Liu, who served as a centurion in the border barracks, came to his house with a baby five years ago, and rented the compound until the night of the incident.

A small wave would not affect the business during the day, but after that night, the blacksmith shop never opened again, and the veteran of the south gate also resigned from illness within a few days.

The speed of the news on the rivers and lakes is faster than the aroma of the wine in Wanfu Restaurant, and the news that the king's order appeared in Sanshan City and has fallen into the hands of others has spread from the southern wilderness to Zhongzhou, and the hottest topic after tea and dinner was once again occupied by the king's order.

In the year 357 of the Kaiyuan calendar of the Iron Dynasty, the news of the last royal decree came out, and the calm situation in Zhongzhou began to flow in the direction of the Southern Wilderness.

Whoever wins the king's decree will be able to share the luck of the Iron Dynasty, and after all the king's decrees are activated, the luck of the Iron Dynasty will be divided up, and the sixty-one cities in the nine lands of the world will once again fall into the strife of war.

The founding emperor of that year also held five royal decrees in his hand, and it was only in one fell swoop that he overthrew the previous dynasty that was in its heyday and established the Iron Dynasty, which had been stable for more than 300 years.

Therefore, the legend of the king's order was written into the annals of the Iron Dynasty, but when the founding emperor died, the strictly guarded king's order disappeared without a trace.

For more than 300 years, the royal family regained four tokens in their hands, and the last token they had been looking for never appeared.

Those who deliver the news will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and those who hand in tokens will be rewarded with a hereditary throne. This measure of the Iron Dynasty was promulgated and implemented when the second emperor ascended the throne.

There are tens of thousands of false and real news here in the Southern Wilderness every day, all piled up on the table in front of the dragon chair, and handed over to the emperor for personal review, which makes the old emperor sigh tiredly.

As everyone knows, the man in black walked quickly along the street and came to the edge of the north city wall.

The reason why Sanshan Castle is Sanshan Castle is located in a flat area surrounded by three low mountains, and it was originally a gathering place for hunters, but over time it became a small town.

The man in black walked out of the city gate, and drove quickly in the direction of Liangshan, and the smoke and dust formed by the rapid swing of his legs were placed in the distance, and he would think that there was a horse team passing by.
