Jupeng Bird, a giant bird that survives in the Liantian Mountain Range, was tamed by the Xia Long Empire during the second invasion of demon beasts, thus becoming the unique flight force of the Xia Long Empire;

Xie Kun took Qian Baimo, considering the long distance from Dagnuma County to Sihang County, and in order to increase Qian Baimo's knowledge, under Xiao Fu's arrangement, he directly applied for flight permits for the two of them at the Jupeng Flying Field in Zepi City, and flew directly to Yunyang County, which is adjacent to Sihang County.

Since the territory of the Xia Long Empire was nearly three times that of the Xiaoyang Empire, it took half a month for the driver to come to Yuyang City, the county capital of Yunyang County, with the two of them.

Xie Kun, who was lying on Jupeng's body all the way, first stretched his whole body muscles and bones, and then took off the windproof helmet and clothes and returned them to the driver, only then did he look down at Qian Baimo beside him, and saw that Qian Baimo, who had finished unwindproof protective gear, was slightly pale at this time, knowing that Qian Baimo was the first time to sit at a high altitude for the first time this time and caused the discomfort of hypoxia caused by flying at high altitude for such a long time, so he threw a silver coin to the driver, and then picked up the weak Qian Baimo and walked out of the airfield.

"This guest officer. Just as Xie Kun walked out of the wooden fence door of the airfield, he heard a man's voice next to him, Xie Kun turned his head and saw that it was a young man wearing a cyan shirt.

At this time, although Xie Kun and Qian Baimo were just dressed up in ordinary clothes, the shopkeeper had seen many rich children deliberately dressed up in a low-key manner for the safety of going out, so he still smiled with sincerity: "Look at the guest officer's dress, he should have just come from the north, why don't you take a break and wash up in the shop?" ”

After Xie Kun glanced at Qian Baimo, who was still weak in his arms, he said directly to the shopkeeper: "Lead the way ahead." ”

"Okay, guest officer, please. Seeing that Xie Kun was so refreshing, the shopkeeper didn't talk much nonsense to lead the way, and he walked about two or three hundred meters to the front of a five-storey exquisite inn, and compared with the three or four inns with only two or three floors in the surrounding area, this inn should be specially prepared for dignitaries who can be Jupeng.

"Guest officer, we have a total of three levels of guest rooms here: heaven, earth and people. The shopkeeper led Xie Kun into the inn and explained: "Although the prices of different rooms are different, the service content is also different. The shopkeeper said and took out a paper card from his arms and handed it to Xie Kun, and then continued to smile: "We can try our best to provide satisfactory food and wine for the guest officer in the herringbone room; if the guest officer is bored at night and wants to listen to Duan Xiaoqu to relieve his boredom, he can choose the Dizi room; and in the cold at night, the guest officer wants to find a girl who warms the bed, so he has to choose the Tianzi room." The shopkeeper said and came to the counter.

After Xie Kun took the paper card and roughly looked at the price of the guest room, he threw the paper card back to the shopkeeper, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Stay for one night, bring me a room No. 3, a table of special game, prepare hot water for bathing and two sets of ordinary clothes for you here, one for me, and the other for the little brother in my arms." The rest will be rewarded to this little two. Xie Kun said and threw a silver coin to the counter, and the shopkeeper picked up the silver coin and fumbled a few times in his hand, then put it in the cabinet and then took out the roster to register the names and household registrations of Xie Kun and Qian Baimo, and then let the shopkeeper lead Xie Kun to the guest room.

A night speechless, after running for more than ten days, after taking a hot bath and sleeping in bed for a night, he recovered most of his spirit, because the clothing of the southeastern counties of the Xia Long Empire still adopts the style of fifty years ago, and there is no latest style of internal and external buttons, so with the help of Xie Kun, Qian Baimo wore this slightly retro style clothing, although this kind of retro style clothing is not convenient for buttons, but it is better to be free to adjust the length and looseness, so although it is not customized according to the figure of Qian Baimo, but after Xie Kun sorted out, Qian Baimo did not have the feeling of clothes not fitting。

After Xie Kun helped Qian Baimo adjust his clothes, he got up and led Qian Baimo to the counter, threw three silver coins in front of the counter and said, "Help me exchange them all for the 100 copper coin bill of exchange you have here." ”

The shopkeeper picked up three silver coins and fumbled for a while, then took out the abacus and said: "According to the commission fee of our bill of exchange here, we will deduct your ......."

"No need. Just as the shopkeeper was about to calculate, Xie Kun casually interrupted and said, "Just round it directly, and reward you for the excess." ”

"Oh, thank you for the tip. After the shopkeeper replied politely, he counted out 28 bills of exchange with 100 copper coins from the counter and said: "This is the bill of exchange of Yaohai Money Village, which can be used in the four southeastern counties, and there is a special seal of the inn on it, and if there is a fake ticket, you can tell the government at any time." ”

Xie Kun took the bill of exchange and touched the left corner of the bill of exchange slightly, and after confirming that there was a concave and convex anti-violation sign that was difficult to see with the naked eye, he took out the bill of exchange purse in his arms without looking at it and put the folded bill of exchange into it. After everything was cleaned up, Xie Kun bowed to the shopkeeper, and then led Qian Baimo out of the inn.

When Qian Baimo stepped out of the inn with his feet, he understood that this was his first step into the so-called rivers and lakes, so he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and looked up at Xie Kun with expectant eyes.

And Xie Kun glanced at the surrounding bar-style inns, then pulled Qian Baimo towards the place where the word "Yi" was hung, and on the way Xie Kun began to teach Qian Baimo the first lesson in the rivers and lakes; "To enter this kind of antique rivers and lakes, we first have to pick a weapon. ”

"Weapons?" Qian Baimo touched his waist and said, "I have two of the latest pistols, and a very powerful Ganglei dagger, isn't it enough?"

"It's not this weapon. Xie Kun couldn't help laughing for a while: "In this kind of antique rivers and lakes, weapons are a status symbol, those who are equipped with swords are people in the sect, those who are equipped with knives are people in the gang, and those who walk freely with their bare hands are scattered people who walk the rivers and lakes freely." Xie Kun said and glanced around, then pointed to a person passing by with a sword not far away and said, "Do you see the white sword spike on that person's sword hilt?" Generally speaking, the white sword spike is the official disciple of the sect, the blue is the senior disciple, the red is the disciple who has entered the room, the brown is the sect leader who has certain rights, and the yellow is the head of the sect, the elder, or the person with a very noble status in the sect. Of course, if you don't have a sword spike, you are a beginner disciple or a newcomer who doesn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh. According to what Xie Kun said, Qian Baimo also began to look around and began to look for the person holding the sword, and then found a person with a bell tied to the hilt of the sword, so he pointed to the man and asked, "Uncle Xie, what does the bell on the hilt of the sword mean?"

Xie Kun glanced at it and said: "There are only two kinds of people who have foreign objects on the hilt of the sword, one is the son of the martial arts family, who will tie the family logo to the hilt, and the other is the lone ranger who has no door and no faction, or a token related to his name, or something that can perform strange tricks tied to the hilt of the sword, and that person belongs to the latter, and some of his special moves will use the bell." ”

"That's right. After listening to Xie Kun's explanation, Qian Baimo couldn't help but look at the man's sword hilt twice, and then pulled Xie Kun and asked, "I saw a person with a strange weapon, who is it?"

Xie Kun looked in the direction pointed by Qian Baimo again, and saw a weapon with two half-arc weapons that looked like knives and non-knives on his back, and then said with a smile: "Oh, the one who shows the strange weapon is the one who plays tricks in the rivers and lakes, and occasionally takes on some odd jobs." ”

While speaking, Xie Kun and Qian Baimo arrived at the post station, and saw a beggar lazily leaning in front of the wooden stake to take a nap, Xie Kun looked at the beggar, and then took out 10 copper coins from the money bag and threw them into the beggar's bowl, with the sound of the copper coins falling into the bowl, the beggar slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xie Kun, and then took out a booklet from behind him and threw it at Xie Kun.

Xie Kun stretched out his hand to take the manual and opened it, and after confirming that it was the map of Yuyang City, he threw 5 copper coins into the bowl and asked the beggar about the nearest weapon shop, and then he gave his hand to thank him and led Qian Baimo away.

After the two of them were a hundred meters away from the beggar, Qian Baimo raised his head and asked curiously, "Uncle Xie, how do you know that the beggar will have a map." ”

"The beggar is a gang called the Beggar Gang that is active in the four southeastern counties. The main business of this organization is to sell all kinds of information, from small city maps to private rumors of a dignitary, etc., and the prices and contact methods of different messages are also different. Xie Kun said as he confirmed, scanning his surroundings to confirm the direction the beggar was talking about.

"Oh, then why are they pretending to be beggars?"

At this time, Xie Kun found the location of the weapon shop, so he led Qian Baimo to explain while walking: "Because this kind of news work requires perennial sentry and visits to achieve, and the identity of the beggar is the most suitable; Strong, and the homeless beggars are naturally thin and weak if they don't have enough food and clothing; the second is to look at the beggars, because the beggar gang takes Chu Lan, the founder of Gumo, as the ancestor, so his beggars are all concave, and the patches on his body are all bag-shaped, although the color is different, but it must be symmetrical; Finally, look at the cloth bag around their waists, and the one who owns the cloth bag is the official beggar gang member, with different colors and quantities, indicating the department and status of the gang. Xie Kun said and came to the door of the weapons shop.
