Chapter 650: Opening the City Gate

The distance between Toyosu Castle was very close, and there were some pedestrians coming and going, and the soldiers were all frightened when they saw this large army. I had never seen such a magnificent caravan, and the group of grandsons in the lead seemed to be familiar. Although he couldn't see clearly, the soldier was a wolf who recognized him, and he was the first giant wolf, with snow-white fur fluttering in the wind, the only wolf of this size and shape in the world.

Zongxin is here, Zongxin is here again...... This is the most feared thing in Toyoshu City. Because of Zongxin, the big devil, he killed tens of thousands of people in one move, what did this kind of big devil come to Fengzhou for? Could it be that he wants to attack Fengzhou?

The news of Fengzhou came from the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty, and they knew very well what Zongxin, the big devil, had done, but their positions were different. In the eyes of the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty, Zong Xin was a big devil who killed people without blinking, burning forty or fifty thousand people alive in one move, and even Lei Hong, the big devil, had never done such a cruel and inhumane thing.

The soldiers immediately spread the news, a large group of merchants were ready to leave the city to flee for their lives, even Feng Hui, the lord of Fengzhou City, was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, Fengzhou City was very small, and he couldn't stand a fierce siege at all. The most frightening thing is that Zongxin's methods can be said to be outrageous, if Zongxin is ready to attack the city, he doesn't need to fight at all, just surrender directly.

Coming to the top of the city tower, Feng Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Zong Xin's formation was not here to fight, but only to do business. No one would bring so many merchant caravans to fight, not to mention that it was useless for him to attack Fengzhou if he thought about it carefully, the road from Da Zhou to Fengzhou had been completely cut off by the Northern Han and Khitan, and the only route was a small road that was rarely visited, even if Fengzhou was captured, it would not be beneficial for Zong Xin and Guo Wei, but a waste of troops and money.

Of course, there is an exception, Zongxin is ready to completely ransack Fengzhou, and he will leave after robbing. If that's the case, maybe they'll bring troops to attack. But...... Zong Xin is so rich now, there is no need for him to rob this small Fengzhou City, not to mention that he has dealt with Zong Xin and knows that he is not this kind of person.

Feng Hui immediately ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome Zong Xin and his party into the city. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was already waiting by the city gate, because the news of Zong Xin's arrival had spread, but Zong Xin and his party camped outside the city and did not enter the city, so it made people feel a little strange.

Zhao Kuangyin knew after going up to the city tower to see that there were too many people outside the city, this time Zong Xin didn't know how many merchants he brought with him, although Zong Xin always said that he wanted to take the Silk Road once, but he didn't say that he wanted to take so many people with him, and thought that there were only this way.

After the city gate was opened, Zhao Kuangyin was the first to ride out on a black bull, and no one could stop him, and Feng Hui knew that Zhao Kuangyin and Zong Xin were good friends, and of course the two of them wanted to meet. Feng Hui also rode a horse and followed behind Zhao Kuangyin, although he was almost sure that Zong Xin's visit to Fengzhou this time was not malicious, but he was still a little worried, and it was better to ask things clearly.

Zong Xin and his entourage were also greeting Zhao Kuangyin and He Meiyu, originally wanted to go into the city to find a place to live, but there were too many merchant caravans behind them, if this group of people entered the city, it was estimated that Fengzhou City would explode, because there were too many of them, and the horse team behind them was too occupied, and Fengzhou City couldn't fit it at all.

After the group met, the most excited was the nineteen wolves, who immediately surrounded the black bull and drooled, and when it was hot, the wolves would open their mouths and stick out their tongues, and by the way, the saliva also flowed out to dissipate heat.

Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "Zongxin, can't you take care of this group of wolf cubs?" Every time you see Xiao Hei, you drool, and you have been surrounding it, you know that Xiao Hei's psychology is not healthy, and he is afraid when he sees a puppy. Look at Xiao Hei's expression, it's like you can't pull it out after seven days of constipation. ”

"Nonsense, when have I ever been constipated?" Zong Xin said depressedly: "Don't worry, who doesn't have a hobby." They just like to look at Blackie, and they haven't touched a single hair of it......"

"I haven't moved, but the hair on Xiao Hei's body has been scared off, haven't you seen it?"

This is a matter of its own psychological quality, and it should be regarded as exercising his courage to be fearless in the face of danger. Zong Xin said: "This kind of trivial matter doesn't need to be discussed, did you get anything delicious for me in Fengzhou?"

"By the way, there's one thing that's nice. Zhao Kuangyin took out a small box from the backpack bag on Xiao Hei's body, and in the box was some jerky, which looked like beef jerky, but it felt harder, and the meat was bright red.

"What is this?" Zong Xin asked as he ate, and then said excitedly, "It tastes good, this is delicious." ”

The others also picked up the jerky and ate it, feeling that the meat was a little like chicken, but it was lighter than chicken, and it had an indescribable aroma.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "This is python meat, I didn't even know there was a python here." This meat feels a little like chicken and fish, but it has an indescribable aroma...... However, snake meat is still used in stewed soup, we ...... last time Why did you throw up?"

Men don't care, but the three girls can't stand such a thing as snake meat. The thought that the meat was originally a snake made me feel sick and immediately spit out the meat. Only the demon is more courageous, because he dealt with snakes all year round when he was a child, and of course he ate snake meat.

Zong Xin chuckled and said, "It's just a small matter, the city lord of Fengzhou is also here, let's deal with the big things first." ”

As he was talking, Feng Hui, the city lord of Fengzhou, also followed. His horse is far less fast than Zhao Kuangyin's black bull, so Feng Hui has always wanted to get a powerful mount, but Zong Xin has nineteen wolves and just won't give him one, and these wolves are very smart, Feng Hui is also envious and jealous when he looks at it.

Zong Xin stepped forward and put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, good, good." I don't know what the city lord is doing here?"

Feng Hui arched his hand and said, "Master Zongxin, I just want to ask you about the purpose of coming to Fengzhou City this time. ”

"Just passing by, re-walking the Silk Road, taking Fengzhou as the starting point. In the past, Chang'an was used as the starting point, but now from Chang'an, you have to pass through the prosperous map of Tubo, where there are too many robbers and bandits, and the Tubo people are very similar to the Khitan, and it is too troublesome to deal with them, so the new Silk Road starts from Fengzhou, I don't know what the city idea?"

When Feng Hui heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Okay, Fengzhou was originally a place where many ethnic groups gathered, so this is the most suitable starting point." It's just that...... There is one more thing I want to ask Master Zongxin, you killed 50,000 people in the Northern Han Dynasty with one move...... Is it true or false at this time?"

"Nonsense, how can I be so powerful? I can kill 50,000 people with one move?" Zong Xin said in surprise: "I burned them with fish oil. ”

Feng Hui felt very fortunate when he heard Zong Xin's words at first, but then he heard it...... He burned these people with fish oil, what's the difference between killing them with his own hands? That's what he did. It's really terrible to think about it, killing 50,000 people at once, no wonder the people of the Northern Han and Khitan call him the big devil.

But this is the reason for the position, standing on the position of Da Zhou, Zongxin is a big hero. If it weren't for Zongxin, Weizhou would have been lost, and the Great Zhou would be over. I really didn't read it wrong, Zongxin is so powerful, it's a blessing that I didn't offend him before.

"Master Zongxin is so generous, he actually killed 50,000 people at a time...... My small Fengzhou City can't stand your toss, and I ask Master Zongxin to raise your noble hand and don't be embarrassed. Feng Hui said: "As long as you are not here to fight, I, Feng Hui, are very welcome, whether it is business or tourism, I will treat you as a guest." After all, this Fengzhou city is small and can't stand the toss. And as long as it is tossed, all the merchants here will run out, and my family will only starve to death in Fengzhou City. ”

Zong Xin put his hands together and said: "City Lord, please relax, you haven't offended me, why should I toss you? It must be difficult to re-walk the Silk Road this time, and please ask the City Lord to make it more convenient." ”

"Certainly, both food and water will be sold to you at the cheapest price. Correspondingly, when you come back from the Silk Road, you will have to show me the goods first. ”

Zong Xin nodded and said, "Then it's a matter of words." ”

"It's a deal. ”

Feng Hui was very satisfied, and immediately turned his horse's head and went back to the city to report the news. The people in the city were very afraid of Zong Xin, for fear that he was coming to attack the city, and if Zong Xin dared to attack the city, he would dare to flee immediately. As long as he runs into the desert, Zongxin shouldn't chase and kill.

In order to calm the morale of the army, Feng Hui came in person, and then went back to tell everyone that what Zongxin was going to do would not only not embarrass anyone, but would benefit many people. Not to mention that he came back from the Silk Road, it is enough for the goods brought by the caravan behind him to go to Fengzhou City to trade, the caravan behind Zong Xin is very large, if these people do business in Fengzhou City, they will definitely drive a lot of economy, and everyone can exchange what they want.

The three major export products of the Central Plains, porcelain, spices, and silk, are all things that foreign merchants are very eager for. They would rather go to the Central Plains without a penny to survive, and then use the extra money to buy these things and bring them back home, so that they can also make a lot of money.

The Central Plains is a big piece of fat, but this piece of fat has been digesting itself, and if you can export these things, you can earn countless riches. Feng Hui realized this truth because he ran Fengzhou, the porcelain, spices, and silk that were worthless in the Central Plains were high-end products that ordinary people could not afford abroad, and if this kind of high-quality things were sold in the past, it would not be about money at all, but in exchange for gold of equal weight, and silver would not be qualified to exchange for these at all.

Those who walked the Silk Road only needed to bring some of these products with them to make a fortune. Then buy extremely cheap specialty products locally and return to the Central Plains, not only can you bring back a huge amount of gold, but also bring back more convoys, and the convoys are full of rare items that are not often seen in the Central Plains.

Although these things are very cheap in the local area, they are still valuable when they return to the Central Plains. Therefore, if you go to the Silk Road and make a trip, and you will not only earn a little bit, but once in a lifetime, you will be able to live the rest of your life.

It's just that the Silk Road is extremely dangerous, there are countless robbers and bandits on the road, and the environment is bad, if you get lost, it is impossible to go home alive.
