Chapter 121: Hiding Eyes
The smoke and dust were billowing and the horses' hooves were in a hurry, and after running for more than 100 miles, a figure suddenly flashed on the road ahead. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jiang Cheng was not surprised, and dismounted.
A fierce man in a black coat and a black turban greeted him, and after saluting Jiang Cheng with a fist, he handed the package he was carrying to Jiang Cheng.
Inside the package was a set of ordinary-looking clothes, as well as a very ordinary guide.
Jiang Cheng picked up the bag and nodded slightly, patted the flametail horse and handed the reins to this person.
The strange and fierce man quickly rode away on the flame-tailed horse, in the opposite direction, not to Taiyuan City.
Jiang Cheng went to the deserted road on the side, changed his clothes, picked up the narrow knife and carried the package, looking like a down-and-out Jianghu guest.
The Cold Moon Treasure Knife was too piercing, and when he came out, he buried it in the valley along with the belt that hid the golden pill.
This narrow knife looks very ordinary, more than two feet long, the scabbard is pitch black, and the handle is also pitch black, it looks inconspicuous, and it doesn't seem to be a high-quality blade.
With such a knife, and a coarse cloth coat, a pair of straw sandals and a pair of white-washed trousers, and a straw rope to tie his hair, he was too ordinary to be ordinary.
Now, just follow this official road, there are still hundreds of miles away from Taiyuan City.
If you can meet a caravan, that's the best.
He has a new path, a new identity, and is ready to sneak into the city again.
The long smoke is empty, the moon is thousands of miles, the floating light is shining gold, and the still shadow is sinking.
In the evening, at the wharf of the east city of Taiyuan City, the moonlight reflected the waves and the sea surface shimmered with fish scales one after another.
There are a lot of cargo ships parked in this large pier made of huge rocks, and the sea breeze blows slowly, with a unique fishy smell, and it is not too cold.
For at this time there were many sturdy sailors or unloading men who were 'naked' and still working hard.
Their sturdy and sturdy bodies have been stained with sweat, steaming, and the heat from them is connected, so that this hot dock does not feel too cold at this time.
Some of the overseers walked around, shouting encouragement or scolding.
Some of the merchants on the ship were laughing and talking with the merchants who handed over the goods, smoking big cigarettes, drinking wine, and some exposed women who were not beautiful but not ugly were accompanied.
Jiang Cheng picked up the last bag of goods from the cargo ship, stepped off the ship under the gaze of two overseers and a merchant, and unloaded the goods to the designated position at the dock and stacked them.
"This is new, isn't it? Looks pretty strong......
The merchant on the ship took a puff of dry tobacco and grinned with a mouth full of yellow teeth.
"Ah, it's okay, I also checked the details of this kid, he followed Jia Laosan's caravan into the city. Although Mu Ne is still good, he paid some tea fees, I saw that he practiced some skills, so he gave him a job to do. ”
One of the overseers nodded and smiled in response.
"Pay more attention during this time, some strangers coming in from outside the city are keeping an eye on them, and now the situation is a little tense, and the top is ready to move seriously. ”
The merchant bowed slightly, reminded him formulaically, and didn't pay much attention to it.
Jiang Cheng put down the burlap bag of almost thirty catties of goods and piled them up with other goods.
His body was itchy with the residue oozing from the cargo.
None of the goods were anything else, they were all sea salt.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water, close to the sea is naturally to eat salt.
These sea salts are rotten goods in Taiyuan City, but after the merchants collect them at a low price and ship them to other regions, the price can be increased several times or even more than ten times.
Even if it is transported to the far south or west, it will be more than a hundred times.
Of course, according to the cost performance, it is not cost-effective to ship too far.
After all, these sea salts are too heavy, the distance is long and the cost is not low, if you encounter a few waves of robbers and bandits, then you will lose all your money.
Robbers and bandits rarely rob salt, but it is also impossible to leave empty-handed without a harvest.
If you don't want salt, you can always ask for money, and if you don't have money, you can ask a few people to be slaves.
Jiang Cheng took off his coat and shook it vigorously, and some of the coarse salt grains on the coarse cloth coat fell off.
This was the fifth day since he had left Taiyuan City last time.
The reason why he came back after a gap of five days is also to avoid being targeted.
His high-profile departure from the city that day must have attracted the attention of the overseas Baimeng and the Guishiling side.
Even the people in the government may have set their sights on him.
The eyeliner of those forces was scattered all over the city, and he would definitely be more vigilant and observant because of his stimulation.
If you go out of the city and come back after a detour, it is when everyone is nervous, and some fresh faces naturally pay special attention, but it is not good.
Now that five days have passed, the eyes of the various forces in the city are not so close.
After handing over this morning, he changed into his clothes, took his new guide, and blended into a caravan that passed by.
paid more than a dozen dollars to take a ride on the way, and smoothly mixed into the city.
After entering the city, he staggered, found a little rat road, and joined the dock guys without attracting anyone's attention.
The reason why he mixed in to sell coolies here is because he doesn't want to attract some people's attention.
After all, he is a fresh face, and if he goes straight to the inn to stay after entering the city, it is good that the time is short, and a long time will inevitably attract the attention of some people.
When the time comes, it won't be easy to make a fuss.
There are doorways and potential rules for everything.
In this Taiyuan City, the government and several major forces look like they are separated, and the relationship is complicated.
Stunned Qing just entered the city, and before he settled on his heels, he rashly went to do something, which was the most taboo, and it was easy to hit his head and bleed.
"Take your wages, this is food, and go to the bazaar in the evening to rest, and don't go anywhere. ”
An overseer walked over, with a long face and small eyes, and some pus on his face, and threw Jiang Cheng a string of copper coins and a cold and hard nest head.
Jiang Cheng took it with a blank expression, nodded all the time, and then turned around and left with the other scattered people.
The long-faced overseer glanced at Jiang Cheng's back, turned around and left.
Although he is a fresh face and needs to be kept an eye on, Jiang Cheng's wooden and mentally retarded appearance really makes people feel no vigilance.
Be wary of such a stupid person, and I feel that my IQ has been lowered.
The lodge is actually a huge wooden shed built next to the pier.
The shed was surrounded by linen cloth and surrounded by a wall that was kind of a wind.
The sackcloth was made by taking apart the broken sacks and tying them together, with a hole in the east and a hole in the west.
When the sea breeze blows, it will have a strong salty taste.
There are many such houses, all of which are for the unloading guys, and the beds in them are just some hay mats, and there are no beds.
Jiang Cheng gulped down the wowotou, and followed the group into the market, which was inconspicuous.
