Chapter Forty-Eight: The First Smell of the Slope

Tianji City is extremely vast, it should be accurate to say that its city is larger than any city in Tianhuo Prefecture, even the state capital Tianlin City cannot be compared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Adjacent to Yunmengze and connected to the prairie, it is the military town of the Snow Moon Empire, which not only has the duty of defending against the invasion of wild beasts in Yunmengze, but also to guard against the invasion of the Wanyan Empire.

Many years ago, an army of the Wanyan Empire that went to conquer Murowei came here by mistake because of a storm, and the soldiers came to Tianhuo Prefecture, and the two countries fought each other, and the war lasted for several months, with tens of thousands of casualties on both sides, which can be described as miserable.

Since then, the originally unknown Tianji City has been valued by the imperial court, and it has been set up as a border town, and the entire city has been converted into a military base, where hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed, iron-blooded and solemn.

The city wall of Tianji City is extremely tall, nearly ten zhang high, all of them are built with basalt, the black city wall looks from afar, full of rough and heavy oppression, it looks magnificent, this city is completely for the needs of war, so there is no place for beautification, just like a giant beast lying on the border of the grassland, the enemy will devour.

The people who entered Tianji City from the inland did not pay attention to the soldiers stationed at the city gate, as long as they paid the full cost of entering the city.

After Li Dao entered the city, he felt that it was not the same as he thought, the city he originally wanted to be in a wild and remote place, except for the army here, there should not be many people living here, and it may be very deserted.

But what surprised him was that after entering the city, his idea was completely subverted, and the liveliness of this place was no worse than that of Tianlin City, and the merchants and tourists who came and went, and the warriors of the rivers and lakes were like carp crossing the river, countless, and very prosperous.

Li Dao suddenly wondered, could it be that there is something special about this place, which can attract countless businessmen here?

couldn't help but feel a little hungry, he found a restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered a few drinks and dishes to eat by himself.

But I heard a whisper coming from the private room on the side, it was a few rough men drinking.

Li Dao listened to a few words, and his heart knew that this place was very close to the grassland, and many people took the risk of crossing Yunmeng Daze, carrying some tea bricks, iron tools and other things to the past, and they could exchange precious furs, medicinal materials and Dongzhu with the grassland people.

These tea bricks and the like are not worth much in the interior, but on the grassland they are something that can only be enjoyed by the aristocracy, and they are extremely popular. Furs, medicinal herbs, Dongzhu and other things are not very valuable in the hands of herdsmen, but when they go inland, the price is high, and the profits obtained from this trip are more than a hundred times, so many people travel between the two places regardless of the danger, forming the reason why Tianji City is so prosperous.

Some warriors who wanted to get rich overnight, or trading houses who wanted to make profits, crowded here, and Tianji City became a city of adventure, but no one who came here was timid.

Smuggling is a matter that the imperial court cracks down on, and being caught by the border army is the end of collaborating with the enemy and beheading, so many people are also ruined because of this. And in Yunmengze, the miasma is strong, there are many beasts, and if you have a little bad luck, you will be buried inside, which is actually a very risky business, but under the temptation of money, there are still many people who go crazy, which can be described as a desire for profit.

Li Dao shook his head, human nature has been like this since ancient times, and in the face of the temptation of money, how many people can endure it.

However, these things had nothing to do with him, he entered Yun Mengze just to find that secret realm, find the Yang Returning Grass, and expel the cold qi in the dantian.

After eating, he asked his men to prepare dozens of steamed buns for him, as well as some spirits and dried beef, these foods must be stocked up before entering the grassland, Daze is full of miasma, and it is obvious that it is easy to get lost, and Li Dao does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to find that place quickly.

After checking out and leaving the restaurant, Li Dao found a relatively large medicinal herb shop in the city, and prepared to go in to buy some medicinal materials to dispel obstacles, which is very close to the grassland, and there are many types of medicinal materials, especially the medicinal materials that dispel obstacles, there are many types, and there are also medicines, but the price is very expensive.

The smuggling of the medicine by the samurai and the trading houses caused the supply to be in short supply, so the price rose sharply.

The miasma in Yunmengze is rampant, and the obstacle pill is almost a must-have, and the detoxification effect is slightly better, which is basically not cheap.

Li Dao is not short of money, he got hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets from the black-robed old man Geshe, which is naturally enough, so he didn't feel distressed when he spent it, and he didn't have any concept, so he happily bought a few bottles of good barrier removal pills.

However, this move was secretly seen by the three warriors in the store, these three warriors were shabby, obviously the extreme decline, at a glance they knew that they were the kind of warriors who were poor and fell into poverty, and with the mentality of getting rich overnight, they came to Tianji City to look for opportunities to take risks.

These three warriors lingered in the pharmacy for a long time, originally wanting to buy some elixirs to heal injuries and remove obstacles, but because the price was too expensive, they were shy and hesitated.

The three of them looked at Li Daosi Wenwenwen, without the slightest sense of threat, it seemed that he was the son of a big clan, and the shot was nearly a thousand taels of silver, and they couldn't help but be greedy, and the three of them exchanged glances with each other, and followed Li Dao out.

Li Dao's mouth flashed with an imperceptible smile, and he didn't pay any attention to the three people who followed behind, and walked quickly to the woods outside the city.

With his divine sense, how could he not find out about the sneaky behavior of these three people, he found it in the pharmacy, the greed in their eyes, how Li Dao didn't notice it, it's just that Tianji City is a military powerhouse, and it's not easy to do it, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he simply led the three of them outside the city to do it.

For this kind of greedy people with a desire for profit, Li Dao has never shown mercy to his subordinates, and it is not the first time that he has done such a thing.

The three of them were thinking about how to lure Li Dao to a secret place, but they didn't want Li Dao to go out of the city.

As long as the army of Tianji City does not kill people in the city, they have always been too lazy to pay attention.

And this place is extremely chaotic, even if Li Dao is the son of a wealthy family, no one can find out if he kills him, and the three of them have no burden in their hearts.

When they arrived at a dense forest, the three of them saw the young boy stop, turned around, and said to them mockingly: "After following me for so long, it's tired enough, but I advise you to wipe your neck and commit suicide, otherwise you will not regret it." ”

The three of them immediately looked at each other, it turned out that the other party had already known that he and others were following, and they seemed to have no fear.

The three of them cautiously looked around, thinking that there was an ambush, and after observing the sound for a while, they saw no movement, knowing that the other party was cheating themselves and others, and one of the strong men with yellow hair said: "Haha, boy, uncle was really bluffed by you, you are quite smart, you know how to sing empty city plans!"

Another middle-aged man with short stature, mung bean eyes, and raw thief eyebrows and rat eyes, said to Li Dao viciously: "Boy, if you know each other, hand over all the valuable things on your body, and you can leave a whole corpse for you, otherwise hum!"

The middle-aged man pulled out the scimitar he was carrying and swiped a few times in the air, the threat was self-evident.

Li Dao shook his head with a sneer, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, and with a finger of his hand, the green whip appeared in the air, and quickly tied the three of them into a big zongzi.

The three of them suddenly screamed in panic, their faces showed panic, and they struggled hard, but the green whip is a magic weapon, how can these few three-grade martial artists struggle away, and then they know that they have encountered a ruthless character.

"Boy, let go of your uncle, or you'll be worse off than dead!"

The strong man with withered yellow hair scolded.

"Boy, I am an outer disciple of the Seven Xuanmen, you have heard of the Seven Xuanmen, let me go quickly, otherwise you will not be able to move an inch in this Heavenly Pole City, and you will be hunted down and killed in the future!"

Another young warrior dressed in black threatened Li Dao.

Only the middle-aged man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes remained silent, with a look of panic in his eyes.

Li Dao sneered and spit softly: "Paper ghost!"

Suddenly, a faint cold wind floated out of his shadow, and he walked towards the withered yellow strong man at a very fast speed.

"Ahh

With a scream, the strong man was instantly sucked into skin and bones by the paper ghost.

Then the black-clothed young man was also pounced on by the paper ghost, and he was also blind, and his face was full of horror.

"Immortals spare their lives, I have a secret that I would like to tell the immortals, just to exchange my life!"

The thief-eyed man was frightened, almost collapsed, a hot current spread in the crotch of his pants, and the smell came out, and he was frightened and incontinent.

The paper ghost was about to pounce, and when Li Dao heard the word immortal, he knew that this person was extraordinary, and stopped it in time.

He withdrew the green whip, and the man suddenly collapsed to the ground, he didn't even have the strength to escape, this was really terrifying, and the two friends were sucked into dry corpses by unknown things in silence, which scared him to the core, and his hands and feet were soft.

Li Dao covered his nose, looked at him with disgust, and said coldly: "Say, what kind of person are you, you actually know my identity, it seems that you are not an ordinary martial artist?"

The man immediately replied: "The villain Feng Qian, a native of Jeju, was one of the personal guards of Emperor Fengqing, the founding monarch of the Black Wind Empire, so he knew about the existence of the monk. ”

Li Dao shrugged his eyebrows, revealing a hint of surprise, he didn't expect this person to be a descendant of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Jeju is one of the ten states of the Sulgetol Empire, located in the central region, extremely far away. This person came here thousands of miles away, he must have a plan, and he definitely didn't just want to make a windfall by taking risks.

He asked coldly: "Since you are from Jeju, thousands of miles away from here, and you don't stay in your hometown, what are you doing here?

Feng Qian gasped, regained some courage, and said with a somewhat helpless face: "The family is declining, the poverty is down, I want to come to this Tianji City to try my luck and see if I can make a windfall......

Seeing that Li Dao's face was becoming more and more cold, he hurriedly continued: "The Wind Green Emperor is the founding emperor of the Black Wind Empire, according to the ancestors, he is a monk with a high level of cultivation, and he returned from the outside, not from the Linhai Continent. I heard that the ancestor said that there is a place in Yunmengze that leads to the outer edge of the Linhai Continent, a place called Liupo, and the kid wants to try his luck to see if he can find this place and get a few treasures. ”

"Liupo Immortal Domain!"

Li Dao said in surprise.
