Chapter 691: Tacit
Naked wealth!
Many corners of the square instantly resounded with a cold snort of disdain.
In fact, not only in the party, but even in the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, those magnates who have been in power for a long time and have accumulated many years absolutely look down on the nouveau riche who suddenly broke out.
Some words that seem domineering in the mouths of the real powerful, in these upstart accounts that they despise, will make them feel full of vulgarity.
Now Xia Ba Ying's words make them feel so.
But such an arrogant sentence dispelled all their doubts.
The dervish smiled silently, and said no more.
"It seems to be very atmospheric, and even the ascetics at Wami Monastery and Lake Naso have been transferred. A Shaba man whispered to Sheba's side.
Although his voice was soft, many people in this square were cultivators, and they could all be heard vaguely clearly.
The corners of the ascetic's mouth twitched slightly.
The faces of many of those who had previously snorted coldly turned a little ugly.
The news of the arrival of the Shaba army must have reached the city two hours earlier, and it is estimated that at least two-thirds of the merchants in the city had dealings with the Shaba, and even close trading partners.
Regardless of the real purpose of Shaba Ying's personal visit, in order to avoid suspicion or trouble, except for those caravans that had to unload their goods and had to stop for something that could not be escaped, the rest of the caravans actually walked seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and even some of the merchants and residents who lived in the city temporarily left the city an hour or two ago.
The gravel square of the city of Darban was particularly empty at this time, so at first glance, the monks in monastic robes or penance robes were unusually large.
Wami Monastery is the most important monk temple of the Tuoba clan, the monks in the temple originally walked outside all the year round, it is very difficult to gather a lot of them in a short time, as for the ascetics who practice by the Na Cuo Er Lake, they are usually retreat monks, these people are afraid that it is rare to change a monk's robe in their lives, they are also supported by the surrounding herdsmen all the year round, those herdsmen not only provide goat milk and all kinds of grain food, usually also light good ghee, worship them like worshipping gods and Buddhas, so the monks' robes on these monks are black and shiny, full of greasy, exuding a strong smell of fried grains and ghee mixed with butterใ
Whether it is the monks who practice at Wami Temple or by the Lake Naksoer, they all belong to the true tantra, they are practitioners, and at the same time, they are all practitioners who have mastered some unique means of true origin.
The large number of tantric practitioners who were mobilized in a short period of time was obviously also out of vigilance against the Shaba people.
"Don't be too careful. โ
Tuoba Hongyan's face remained unchanged, but a trace of chill quietly flowed from his eyes, there is something called tacit, even if he knows it, if he says it publicly, he doesn't give the other party a face, and he doesn't know how to lift up.
He turned around and looked at the Shaba man who had spoken out, and said, "These monks happen to be holding the annual debate meeting in the city of Darban. โ
He recognized this Shaba man, this Shaba man with five short statures in his eyes was the famous Shaba Yu of the Shaba Clan, but not to mention a sharpshooter, even if it was a Shaba Divine Mind Realm cultivator, it was nothing in his eyes.
Although his face was calm at this time, he kept sneering in his heart, and decided that even if he had a good conversation with the Xiaba tribe today, he must find an opportunity to teach this person a lesson in the future.
"That's my villain's heart, and it's a gentleman's belly. Shaba Yupi didn't smile.
In fact, the vast majority of the clans did not have any favorable feelings towards the Tuoba clan.
Especially in the eyes of all non-royal tribes, the Tuoba clan is the biggest bloodsucker in the party.
Although the Shaba people have gained amazing wealth over the years, some of them are inevitably pocketed by these royal families.
Of course, Tuoba Hongyan didn't want to talk to a character like Xia Bayu, he just smiled, and then bowed slightly, in the eyes of many spectators in the square, this was an absolute demeanor, like acquiescing to the other party's belly with the heart of a villain.
Although it cannot be compared with the important cities of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lin Yi also has a sense of eye-opening from the time he approaches the doorway of the second city wall.
Probably because there are many clans in the party, and many tribes have different inheritances and lifestyles, through the wide gate of the second city wall, Lin Yi can easily see a variety of different styles, all with some special exotic style buildings for him.
Whether it's a spear-like roof, a circular dome, or a square-shaped structure made of pure yellow sand, mud and dead grass, you can see it everywhere in this second wall.
The square is a gravel ground formed by the tamping of pebbles from the riverbed, and the cracks in the stones have long been filled with dust, and there is no sense of unevenness at all, but behind the second wall is a hard stone field, like the surface of the entire mountain has been shoveled away, leaving a rock face.
The rocky ground has been weathered to varying degrees under the brutal climatic erosion, and it is not without grass, and there are low thorns and an unkempt yellow poplar growing in the crevices of the sand and gravel.
There is no need to deliberately clear the field, as the Xiaba delegation passes through the gate of the second city wall, there are only a few figures in the large market area and the original military camp area behind the second city wall.
Of course, the Tuoba clan was prepared.
In a barracks area, just a stone's throw from the second wall, the ground that had been covered with horse manure had been thoroughly cleared and sprinkled with spices and flowers.
There were dozens of waitresses in plain robes standing on both sides of the camp gate, and a huge tent facing the camp gate was also wrapped in golden brocade cloth, and at the top of this tent, even a large piece of gold leaf was used, and even if even the last rays of light faded, the top of this tent still looked golden.
This tent is surrounded by a circular stone staircase stand.
Seeing such an arrangement, Xia Jilian couldn't help but sneer and said, "Is this the original place to watch the circus or read the storyteller?"
In the Southern Dynasties, circus or storytelling, a high platform was generally built in the middle, or a place was selected underground, and the surrounding ring buildings were grandstands. But whether it was in the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Wei Dynasty, circus, storytelling and singing music, they were all used for entertainment, and the people who performed circus or storytelling and singing were naturally not looked down upon by the powerful, and they were just tricks made by inferior people.
Of course, Luo Jilian's words contain a strong sense of mockery, I am afraid that in the eyes of any Southern Dynasty person who has seen the world, the layout of the Tuoba clan is simply vulgar and elegant.
But her unscrupulous comment made all the Tuoba clan's hearts feel relieved.
In their opinion, the more relaxed and casual the people of the Shaba tribe, even if they are more arrogant and domineering, the more it means that the other party is not too nervous, and I am afraid that there will be no special conspiracy.
As the owner of this place, the Tuoba clan did not have too many people gathered around this camp, and there were not even many sergeants who were obviously clad in armor and armed weapons, but the number of people who appeared around was probably also considered after some consideration.
All the people in the Shaba Clan Mission swept over at a glance, and they could easily estimate that the Tuoba clan people around this camp were also about five hundred.
