Although the national strength of Yutang and Wei far exceeded that of any two countries in the Western Barbarians, the people of the Western Barbarians were fierce and the quality of the soldiers far exceeded those of the two countries. The armies of Huitu and Dijon are good at riding and shooting, while the armies of Duoman and Chiling have legions of giants and beasts, and the soldiers of Youguo are good at using poison to release Gu, and ordinary soldiers can resist it.

Only the two countries of Yutang and Wei can resist the alliance of the five Western Barbarian countries. In the past few decades, the two sides have fought countless wars, and Yutang and Wei have lost many victories and retreats, losing a large amount of land, and have to send special envoys to ask Song and Zhao for help.

After a meeting between the kings of the four countries, they formed a military alliance of the four countries ten years ago and jointly sent troops to resist the invasion of the Western Barbarians. With the support of Song and Zhao, coupled with the inconvenience of the Western Barbarians' long-distance attacks, the Four-Nation Alliance barely slowed down the pace of the enemy's attack.

Yu Tang is a hereditary empire, the contemporary lord Yu Chengde, benevolent and benevolent, reigned for 140 years, and won the hearts of the people.

Chu Yun dressed up in a set of local clothes, dressed himself up as a son-in-law, and bought a healthy horse with a lot of money, and hurried all the way north, heading straight to Xuanjing, the imperial city of Yutang.

Counting on his fingers, it has been almost two hundred days since he left Yan Yi, and it will take at least six months to return, while Feng Ling can maintain his life for two years at most, leaving Chu Yun with only eleven months.

Eleven months is not enough to fully master this unfamiliar language, let alone find the elixir in this strange foreign land. Time is so precious that he can't afford to wander around, and he can only choose the most prosperous and largest imperial city in Yutang to try his luck.

The reason why Xuanjing was chosen as the goal, Chu Yun was not without purpose.

One is because Xuanjing is the imperial capital of a country, and its prosperity is definitely far greater than that of other cities, and the opportunity to find the elixir is undoubtedly far greater than that of other cities.

Second, Chu Yun was very sure that in that palace, there must be a collection of elixirs. Otherwise, how could an ordinary mortal emperor reign for more than a hundred years if he didn't have the elixir to prolong his life!

Xuanjing is located in the center of Shanggu County, in the northwest of Chiweiyu, the distance between the two is more than 70,000 miles, even a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day has to run for two whole months. Chu Yun sighed secretly in his heart, but unfortunately the mecha energy was not enough, otherwise, it would be possible to fly to Xuanjing in five days at most.

It seems that this journey not only needs to inquire about the news of the elixir, but also collects the spirit stone by hand.

As long as he has enough energy, not only can he greatly speed up the speed of arriving in Xuancheng, but 0827 can also repair the scars left by the bird demon a little, and if necessary, he can also provide protection for his own life.

He slept all the way to the northwest, did not dare to have the slightest delay on the road, time flickered, left Chiweiyu for more than 20 days, just a finger, has traveled more than 20,000 miles, from the county seat of Nanhai County Haiyue City has been less than three days away.

Along the way, it gradually prospered, and there was an endless stream of business travelers on the post road.

Unable to run freely during the day, Chu Yun simply led the horse into a nearby city to rest temporarily, only to wait for the night when the black people were sparse before hurrying.

The name of this city is 'Fengyang', and it is an important acropolis in the southern part of Haiyue City. There were a large number of troops stationed in the city, but anyone who entered the city was subjected to severe interrogation.

In this unfamiliar continent, gold and silver are still the common currency. Fortunately, there are still a few pieces of broken silver in the bag, and with this universal pass certificate, entering Fengyang City is naturally extremely smooth.

Only when you walk outside can you know the value of money. Chu Yun was secretly proud in his heart, thanks to his good gambling luck in the past few years, he had accumulated some gold and silver a little, so that he could continue to change horses as he wanted, otherwise, the journey of 20,000 miles, people can hold on, and horses can't hold on.

Entering the city, he found an inn at random to settle the horses, and he wandered the streets, making up for all kinds of things he had seen, and at the same time looking for a pawnshop—there were only a few pieces of silver left in his pocket, and he had to find a way to exchange some cash for some money!

In the ten years between the age of six and sixteen, Chu Yun learned a lot from his younger brother.

Although I did not specialize in business economics, I have seen many advanced business cases by chance. His vision and insight are naturally not comparable to ordinary teenagers.

Before leaving, he used the silver taels he had saved for more than ten years to buy the specialties of Yanyi, such as pearls, agate, night pearls and all kinds of messy things.

For the relics of Yan, who are mainly fishing and hunting, pearls and agate are just a kind of beautiful ornaments, and the night pearl is just a tool for lighting.

But Chu Yun doesn't think so, things are rare and expensive, and these things are all beautiful and bright, although they are everywhere in Yanzhi, they are not of any value. But on other continents, where these supplies are scarce, it is not impossible to sell them for ten times the price.

The prosperity of the Yutang Empire far exceeded that of Yanyi, and commerce was especially developed. In addition to the common sights such as taverns and inns, there are many places that have never been heard of by the relics. For example, pawnshops, dart shops, money banks, theaters, bathhouses, and so on.

Pawnshops, money shops and jewelry shops all have cash exchange services, but the reputation of pawnshops is not very good, many people say that it is a place to eat people without spitting out bones, and the prices of money and jewelry shops are slightly fairer.

So, Chu Yun found a money bank, lifted the curtain and walked in.

This was the first time in his life that he had visited Qianzhuang, and after entering the door, he looked around, and immediately a guy stepped forward to greet him politely.

After some pleasantries, Chu Yun tentatively took out the smallest pearl and threw a stone to ask for directions.

Seeing this pea-sized pearl, the man's eyes instantly widened, and he hurriedly invited the shopkeeper over.

Chu Yun's heart moved, just a pearl can alarm the shopkeeper It seems that this thing is definitely a rare thing in Yutang, I'm afraid the value will not be too low!

The shopkeeper was a chubby middle-aged man, with a pleasant appearance, two small eyes but very bright, he picked up the pearl, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Chu Yun again, and then opened the price, one hundred taels of silver!

What? a hundred taels!

Although he had overestimated the rarity of pearls, he did not expect them to sell for a high price of 100 taels. This thing is a bit useful for weaving curtains in Yanyi! I bought a few baskets before leaving, but it didn't cost a few taels of silver.

A pearl can be sold for a high price of a hundred taels of silver, which is no longer ten times the profit that Chu Yun expected, but a thousand, ten thousand times.

It's incredible! Chu Yun's heart twitched fiercely, and his thick black eyebrows wrinkled unnaturally.

The fat shopkeeper had been secretly observing Chu Yun's expression, and when he saw the other party frowning, he secretly thought to himself, although this person looked like a dusty man, he was still brightly dressed, and if he could take out such a rare pearl, it seemed that he must be the son of a big family. With his insight, I'm afraid it's hard to fool. Hurriedly smiled at Chu Yun and said, "Let the son laugh, I made a mistake in the next Shicai and said the wrong price, and made a mistake!"

"I said, how can a pearl be sold for a hundred taels of silver, it turns out that this dead fat man is confused! I knew that he would regret it, it was better to grab the one hundred taels of silver tickets in his hand as soon as possible, so that he could regret it, hey, mistakes, mistakes!" Chu Yun shouted in his heart, and shook his head gently, his own decisiveness was still lacking.

"This pearl is extraordinary, round and large. What's even more rare is that the deep sea is naturally formed, without the slightest flaw, but it can also be regarded as a pearl of quality, and the highest price of our store is three hundred taels" The fat shopkeeper opened a higher price, but it happened that Chu Yun shook his head, and quickly changed his words: "No, the highest is five hundred taels of silver!"

Five hundred taels of pearls!

Is the silver in this world so worthless? Chu Yun was completely shocked, his heart beat twice, but his face did not change in the slightest, but his mind became lively again, and he secretly wondered, shaking his head, there were two hundred taels of silver, if he did it again, would he cheat an even more outrageous price?

Chu Yun thought of doing it, and shook his head gently.

The fat shopkeeper's face changed again and again, and he said with a wry smile: "Little brother, the price of this pearl is not low when it comes to five hundred taels, you have to be willing to sell, our store will immediately present a silver ticket, if you feel that the price is not satisfied, you may wish to go to a few more money houses, compare more, and see if our store is the most honest and honest!"

Having said that, it seems that five hundred taels of silver is already the limit that the fat shopkeeper can accept.

Chu Yun's right hand tightened, and his palm was full of pearls, all of which were more valuable than the one in front of him.

If we sell all these large quantities of pearls, we will really become rich men! He had a slight move, but in an instant he stopped his impulse--this handful of pearls is more than 20 pieces, and it can be sold for more than 10,000 taels of silver, and the sudden revelation may cause the shopkeeper to covet it, and cause unnecessary trouble.

He instantly had a plan, so he pretended to have suffered a big loss and said: "It's only five hundred taels of silver? It can only be regarded as so-so! If it weren't for the urgent need for money, three five hundred taels would not have thought of buying this family heirloom." Shopkeeper, we are all happy people, gotcha, this pearl belongs to you!"
