In Dingzhou, Menglang City, Southern Dynasty, when the man waved his sleeves and swept the ascetic to the other side, the guys at the door of several shops in the city also found a few strangers.

Although Dingzhou is still separated from the northern battlefield by several states, it is also separated from the Daoren City and Zhongli area attacked by the army of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying before, not to mention that Zhongshan Wang Yuanying led the army to go deep into the territory of the Southern Dynasty by surprise, and he also went to Jiankang, which was to cut off the connection between Jiankang and the northern border army.

Dingzhou was in the sand table of those generals of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was a peaceful place far from the war zone.

At the time of the handover of the spring and summer of this year, when the wars on the northern border had been frequent, the Dingzhou area was not affected at all, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they lived how they wanted, and the vast majority of people did not even realize that the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty had begun a life-and-death war.

But now it is very different, and although it has not yet been affected by the fighting, it is clear that many things have quietly changed with the arrival of those who have fled the war, and with the frequent appearance of some transit troops.

A lot of things are quietly becoming scarce.

Even the most common hay for feeding livestock, coarse salt, has become extremely scarce.

There were more caravans coming and going than ever before, but the war on the front line was like a huge water inlet, quietly emptying the water in the surrounding ponds.

The name of Menglang City is very ordinary, but it has a very important position in Dingzhou Menglang City.

There are several large businesses in the area of Menglang City, which are all in the ore and weapons business.

These firms themselves did not have a workshop for making weapons, but their business made Menglang City an important distribution center for ore and weapons in the Southern Dynasties.

These firms began to operate these businesses a hundred years ago, starting from the small caravans, to the current huge wealthy gate valves, they were able to use various means, a steady stream from the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even some high-quality ores in the territory of the Party and Tuguhun were traded here, and as a priority exchange, the weapons produced by many workshops in the Southern Dynasties were also selected and purchased by them for the first time.

It is no exaggeration to say that although there is not a decent refining workshop in the entire Dingzhou, Ningzhou, Xiangzhou, even some famous workshops in the Jiankang area, as long as they are refined today, may not appear in the shops of Menglang City in a few days.

The war at the border has intensified, and there has been turmoil in various places, and there are many displaced people, and there are many horse thieves and mountain bandits, and the demand for private troops by many gate lords is also high, so the business of these shops in this area of Menglang City is more popular than in previous years.

Weapons are not as good as ordinary goods, and those who can be purchased are not gate valves, but also leaders or generals who lick blood on the head of the knife.

If there is a slight difference, I am afraid that these commercial houses will not be able to eat and walk around.

Therefore, the guys and shopkeepers of these businesses are not ordinary people, they are just guys who stand at the entrance of the shop to greet customers, and they generally have worked elsewhere in the business house for more than ten years, and their eyes are naturally very vicious.

So when a man who looked like an old soldier and two young people, a man and a woman, just appeared in their sight, the guys at the door of several shops on this street all had slightly dark eyes, and they all felt that these three were not ordinary people.

The man who looked like an old soldier looked like he was thirty or forty years old, wearing just an ordinary coarse cloth military uniform, without armor, and he couldn't tell what kind of army he was, and although this person didn't look mighty, but between looking forward to it, these guys with vicious eyes just felt that this old army was like a lion who was full of food and had nothing to do, squinting and wandering among the sheep.

The young man and the woman, both looked like they were in their twenties, or even younger.

It's just that these two people don't give people the feeling of frivolity like the young people in the city, the young man doesn't look too handsome, but his posture is straight, there is an indescribable heroic spirit, he obviously looks like a white scholar, his face is also very peaceful, and he seems to be very good at talking, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of coercion.

As for the woman, she was both handsome and beautiful, and these fellows were sure at a glance that this woman must have come from some powerful man.

The feeling that she seems to feel ordinary when she sees anything in the flow of her eyes makes these guys feel the nobility of her at a glance.

The three men had apparently come for a purpose, not to hang out, and it seemed to be the woman who had led them, and walked straight towards the shop closest to the street.

This shop is called Jinfeng Fang, and the façade of this street is not the largest, but this is the shop of Chengtianhao, which is the largest business in Menglang City.

Seeing the three of them coming straight towards their shop, the guy at the door suddenly took a deep breath and greeted him.

But before he could speak, the woman's voice had already gently entered his ears, "Tell the shopkeeper of your family, saying that it is from the Jiankang Chen family." ”

The guy's face changed suddenly, and he bowed without hesitation, and said, "Please come with me." ”

He didn't stop at all with the three of them in the shop with all kinds of weapons, but when he flicked a copper wire at the door, a crisp copper bell rang in the courtyard inside, and he took the three people directly into the backyard and went upstairs.

The shopkeeper of this shop was already waiting at the door of the upstairs elegant room, and when he saw the three of them going upstairs, he immediately bowed and saluted, saying, "Fu Linglong has seen the eldest lady." ”

Although his face was calm, even if the three of them followed him into the private room and sat down, his heart was beating uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked at the young woman opposite and said, "Come here, why don't you let the next person report first, I am not prepared, I am afraid that we will lack courtesy." ”

"I'm giving it away, and I'm on the march, and I don't need to be polite by the way. ”

The young woman waved her hand, signaling that he didn't have to be so polite.

"Sending people away?"

The shopkeeper of this shop is named Fu Linglong, and his mind is also very exquisite, he listened to this sentence, and then looked at the young woman's look on the man next to him, and then thought of the woman in Zhongli City before, his breathing suddenly stopped, his face could no longer be calm, he looked at the young man in shock, and even his voice trembled, "You... Are you the Tie Ce Army... General Lin Yi?"

This woman from the Chen family is naturally Chen Baoyun.

And the man beside her is Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned by his expression, and said, "I am Lin Yi." ”

Fu Linglong is more than fifty years old this year, he has seen many dignitaries and nobles in his life, and he has seen countless border generals, but looking at Lin Yi at this time, his heart was shocked, and for a while, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

was speechless for a while, but subconsciously bowed down and made a big salute.
