Chapter 30: Entering the City

Bochi City.

At this moment, it was noon and the sun was shining, but the officers and soldiers who were locked at the entrance of the city could not slack off, constantly searching for whether the goods of those entering the city were prohibited and put in.

Finally, the caravan like a long dragon was sent to the city gate, and an officer and soldier wiped their sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.

The colleague beside him lightly bumped him on the shoulder, "Lao Wang, look at the carriage in front." ”

He followed his colleague's fingers and saw the somewhat vague carriage in the distance.

"See. What's the matter, it's the thief who got a bounty?"

Naturally, the trick of rewarding a reward cannot only be found in Hongchen Hall, and the government is also playing it well.

For those who endanger the people or touch the community but can't be caught, or go to dangerous and strange places to collect medicine or take things, etc., the government usually puts a reward for those heroes with high martial arts to do.

This is a good thing for the government and the knights. The government only needs to give a one-time bounty, so there is no need to raise these people like officers and soldiers, and the knight can also receive a bounty that satisfies him and leave in style. After all, if you are willing to accept the bounty, you will naturally be satisfied.

Moreover, the government also has its own plans in mind. This bounty is the same as Hongchentang, it is not an unmasking action, but a free acceptance, so there are not a few people in the rivers and lakes who rub each other and even fight for the bounty task.

In this regard, the government expressed pain and education on the surface, but behind the scenes, it expressed comfort. There are too many knights with high martial arts and uncontrollable, it is not a good thing for the government, if it is exterminated, it must be another turmoil in the world, but if the government accepts them all, it can't afford to pay such a high price, so the government that can cover the sky with one hand accommodates the existence of the sect, and even Zhang Luo out of the righteous path of the twelve families and the neutral seven families, so that those people in the rivers and lakes can settle down a little.

"Don't talk nonsense, if it's really a thief, then the carriage dares to drive towards us?"

"There's nothing strange about that. Lao Wang tightened his grip on the handle of the knife and released it again, narrowed his copper eyes, and looked at the back carefully.

The carriage was ordinary, except that the horses in front of them were as black as carbon, and they were stepping slowly and leisurely, not in a hurry.

"Don't you blame that this carriage doesn't have a groom?"

"Hey, really!"

Black Tan walked unhurriedly and slowly walked to the city gate with small steps, pulling on the carriage.

In a sense, black carbon is a rare miracle in a century. Because it really understands human speech, and does what it does, except that it looks like a horse, it is almost like a man, and it is willing to lie down and sleep at night. It even knows how to despise, it doesn't know how many times it has despised its master (a bad friend?).

Finding a way through the woods, moving steadily forward in the clearing, all it takes a sentence or two to lead the way, and the black charcoal can be perfectly achieved.

In the past, Reed also sighed three or four times under the grievances of the donkey and Ma Fei, and it was a waste of this black charcoal to follow the leader.

Ignoring the curious gazes of those officers and soldiers, he leisurely stopped at the door at this time, where no one was entering or leaving, and snorted. In the middle of the sound, there was no movement in the carriage, and the black charcoal was a little irritable, and snorted, and the left hind hoof kicked violently on the pedal, and the carriage vibrate.

Lao Wang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. What a fierce horse.

The leader shook his head and jumped out of it, looked at the magnificent city walls of Bochi City, and said with a smile: "It's here!"

Mo Haoqiong slowly stepped out of the carriage, full of shock.

A city is a city, and there is no comparison between a village and a town.

The black stone loess of the city wall, ten feet high, is difficult to reach, standing at its feet and looking upwards, its cold silver-limestone blocks can cover a full half of the clear blue sky.

As for Zhao Qingqiu and Zhang Jianyun, these two people who have seen strong winds and waves have long been surprised.

The leader turned his head and saw the officers and soldiers who were looking at them stunned, he rubbed his hands, trotted to Lao Wang, took out a copper coin and stuffed it firmly into Lao Wang's half-pushed and half-rough hand.

Lao Wang's fingers quietly touched the copper coin, felt the silver silk thread on the copper coin, nodded with some satisfaction, and strode to the routine.

The officers and soldiers had just finished their work, the sun was scorching, and they had not yet eaten lunch, so naturally their faces were not very good. But seeing Lao Wang's expression, he should have received a good bribe, so he didn't say anything.

The copper coins issued by the government are naturally one penny, but considering the troublesome exchange of one or two silver for one thousand copper coins, ten and one hundred copper coins were specially minted.

Ten Wen, in the center of the eight characters of "Kangtong Jida" and "Ten Wen", there is a silver circle. Together, these eight silver rings are exactly one hundred percent of one or two pieces of silver.

And Baiwen's, "Kangtong Jida" and "Baiwen one" are all composed of silver threads, and then put on the silver circle within the eight characters, which happens to become one or two tenths of silver.

The leader is the Baiwen copper coin. It only takes ten wen to enter the city, and one horse and one cart are five wen and twenty wen respectively, and there are still three or five left in Lao Wang's hand. For Lao Wang, it is enough to be satisfied.

With his two realms of the Yellow Court and the city gate, it is only two taels of silver in a month. However, when the city gate is searched, there will be generous wealthy people from time to time, so even if you have a family, your life is pretty good.

Stepping into the carriage and searching it casually, he came out and told him. After hesitating for a while, Lao Wang looked at Mo Haoqiong, who was confused and looking at the huge city wall, and smiled: "A few of you have come to Bochi City to participate in the recent Qianzhiguan divination." ”

Mo Haoqiong woke up suddenly, a little embarrassed, "Yes." ”

"The Thousand Wisdom Temple will be opened for the future, so you can have a good time in the city now. Lao Wang turned his head to look at Zhao Qingqiu, and said in a low voice: "I hope a few people will be careful." Recently, there was a guy in the city, who claimed to be a chivalrous man in Hutou Mountain, and he was generous, and he bought this maid and the orphan girl at every turn, and if he couldn't buy it, he would use a strong one, and his martial arts didn't seem to be bad. ”

"Does the government care?"

"In the past few days, due to the opening of the Qianzhiguan, and it seems to be different from the previous month, there are all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and the government does not dare to act rashly, for fear of moving the whole body. ”

"Okay. Thanks a lot...... Thank you for your help. Mo Haoqiong was a little rusty.

Lao Wang was flattered. He has stood at the gates of this city for nearly twenty years, and it is the first time that anyone has called you any sneering or brotherly brother.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and get into town. ”

Zhao Qingqiu didn't know when she was already in front, she turned around and shouted urgingly.

Mo Haoqiong responded to Zhao Qingqiu, turned his head and smiled apologetically at Lao Wang, "You better go to dinner first, and I'll enter the city." ”

"Go, go, go. Lao Wang waved his hand.

All of his colleagues have all gone at some point, and the new soldiers have not yet come out, and Mo Haoqiong has also entered the city.

The gates of the city were empty except for him. The gentle wind in the woods came slowly, and was swept back by the city walls.

Lao Wang stood there in a daze, letting the wind blow, and touched his face full of stubble.

He froze there.

He is actually the Yellow Court of the Six Realms, and he can be called the top five masters in Bochi City.

He had participated in the suppression of bandits, seen the blood of stumps constantly flying, participated in the plague, and watched life struggle to disappear in front of his eyes.

was accused of having no achievements, and was placed here to guard the city gate, and it was necessary to secretly protect the city lord for twenty years. has been accused of having no brains and not understanding people's hearts, and being ostracized by officialdom has nothing to do.

Several sentiments were intertwined, but there was a warm word that rubbed in.

A Huang Ting of the Six Realms, who had already been disheartened after countless falls, smiled easily under this small warm word and the huge cold city wall.

This world doesn't seem to be very bad. He thought.
