Chapter 48

More than 20 big men shouted and agreed, jumped off their horses one after another, came to the side of the big tree, and tied the horses.Someone glanced at Zhongbo's group and saw that there were a large number of them, everyone was silent, and they all carried weapons. After a while, I took out the wine and meat from the burden, and started eating and drinking.

"Brothers, it's a good sign for us to go out this time to see the joy. When we enter Huanchao Town, I will invite everyone to have a good meal." A middle-aged man with a beard suddenly laughed and said rough .

"It's all thanks to Big Brother!" The crowd became noisy, and a man who looked very shrewd echoed: "Big Brother is so blessed, you can find beautiful beauties who are like celestial beings when you walk, we brothers follow Big Brother, that is Based on the blessings of eight lifetimes."

"Haha!" Everyone laughed unscrupulously.After drinking for three rounds, everyone's face was red and their ears were red. Seeing that there was not enough firewood on my side, and the fire was not booming, relying on a little bit of wine, I also forgot the previous scruples about Zhong Bo and others.A man in a brown robe staggered towards the carriage of Zhong Bo and others.

"Hey, brother, let me borrow some firewood from you." The man hiccupped and patted a coachman on the shoulder very rudely.He had a lot of strength in this move, but the frail-looking coachman not only didn't move, he didn't even lift his head.

"Your grandma, I'm talking to you! You're deaf!" The snarl immediately alarmed more than 20 men who had drunk too much and had nothing to do with it, and the crowd came up screaming.It looked like a fight was about to start.On the other hand, everyone on the side of the convoy sat on the ground, and no one looked up. They stared blankly at the bonfire, as if those men didn't exist.

"Everyone, what's the matter?" The curtain of the carriage was lifted suddenly, and Zhong Bo walked down slowly, wearing a blue robe and looking very kind.He walked forward slowly, and said in a deep voice: "My servants are all ignorant, and offended all the strong men, what can I do?"

"It's not a big deal, I just borrow some firewood from you, who knows that they are all like deaf people, and they obviously don't take our brothers seriously." The leader with beards suddenly said loudly.

"A strong man has a good opinion, and he can tell it at a glance." Zhong Bo said with a faint smile.

"Huh? You're really fucking deaf!"

"Yes." Uncle Zhong nodded with a smile, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to bring dry firewood, please do whatever you want. I still have some good wine here, and I will also honor all my friends."

Seeing that the old man was so good at Taoism, the bearded man felt very proud, and said with a loud smile: "Then thank you, old man."

Unceremoniously, he took a few of his men and followed Uncle Zhong to the side of the carriage to get the wine. Suddenly, he saw the carriage surrounded by the blue cotton curtain. Wei Wei muttered in confusion: "Why are you covered so tightly, you must be sick."

His voice was not very loud, at least much lower than the amount of cursing just now, but all the guards who were sitting on the ground and staring at the bonfire suddenly turned around collectively, their eyes staring blankly like sharp swords Looking at this drunken strong man.

The friendly Zhongbo's expression also turned cold in an instant, he turned his head slowly, glanced at the group of rude men, and suddenly waved his hand lightly.

It seemed that in just an instant, all the people jumped up from the ground, and before the group of big men could react at all, they all became ghosts under the sword.The most terrifying thing is that they didn't even have time to let out a scream.

In less than half a cup of tea, everything returned to calm. Eighteen guards threw the corpses of more than 20 big men into a cold river in the distance, cleaned up the open space, and rested on the spot. .The whole process was silent, as if performing pantomime.

"Uncle Zhong," a guard suddenly stepped forward and said to the old man in a deep voice, "I found a person on the horse of those people."

"Oh?" Uncle Zhong raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to bring the person he was talking about.

A blue hooded cloak was placed on the ground, and the man in black inside had disheveled hair, thin clothes, and weak breathing.But with a clean face, one can tell at a glance that it is a delicate woman. The woman has crescent eyebrows and green daisy. She has a beautiful, graceful and glamorous face. Wrapped in such a ragged clothes, she is such a beautiful skin.The old man's face froze, and then he smiled slightly.

"My child, we are really destined. This is the third time we have met in one day."

Zhong Bo lightly smoothed out the messy hair on the woman's forehead, and suddenly there was a slight knocking sound from the cotton-curtained carriage next to him, and the old man hurriedly leaned over. Put some warm clothes on the girl, and put her in the carriage. Go into town and find a suitable person to take care of her."

"Uncle Zhong, are we going to take her on the road?" the guard froze and asked suspiciously.

"En," Zhong Bo said with a faint smile, "Young master said, if you leave her behind, maybe this woman can chase us all the way to Qin."

A few hearty laughter sounded slowly in the field. Zhong Bo smiled and looked at the woman's pale cheeks, shook his head and said, "Lucky little guy."

The night is getting darker.

There was another heavy rain in the morning, the weather was gloomy, and the sun didn't show up until late.The soldier in charge of guarding the city gate slept for a while, and when he yawned and lazily opened the city gate, many people had already gathered outside waiting to enter the city.Zhong Bo smiled lightly and rewarded the soldiers guarding the gate, and then led the crowd into Nanchu, the last important border town.

They have strong horses and no important goods, but they have been walking slowly. When they can walk, they will never run in small steps. They are like traveling in mountains and rivers, without any sense of urgency.

Although Huanchao Town is a small town, its geographical location is very important.As the northern frontier fortress of the Southern Chu Kingdom, it has always been an important military town with over [-] troops.Although there is no threat from a powerful neighboring country in the east, the largest wilderness on the mainland is to the east of the city - the West Black Wasteland.Xihei Wilderness is a rather peculiar geographical location on the mainland. It is located between Southern Chu, Eastern Qi, Xichuan and Northern Qin, and it is also connected to the only inner hinterland passage of the Huns. Harassment in one place has always been a battleground for military strategists.

In order to prevent the tough southern Xinjiang people from invading on the grassland, the residents of Huanchao City practice martial arts, and most of the people in the town practice martial arts, and the martial arts is strong.Therefore, people who are skilled in martial arts are often treated and respected very high. This is the reason why there are many martial arts halls in Huanchao City, and there are many arenas everywhere. Along the way, I saw the arena where three groups gathered to compete. It is simply amazing. .

In addition to the strength of the warriors, Huanchao City is also an important commercial county in the northern part of Southern Chu. It is on the verge of the Xihei Wasteland. Although there are occasional fights with the Ludan people in the southern Xinjiang on the wasteland, they also conduct frequent commercial exchanges and exchanges. Trade, the import of cattle, sheep and horses accounted for almost half of the country.In addition, the Southern Chu Empire has the coastline second only to Eastern Qi on the entire continent, so the salt trade is also very developed, almost responsible for one-third of the fish and salt industry on the mainland.Just like the big man surnamed Yu and his party they met in the tea shed before, they were ordered by the salt industry company to transport sea salt to Shengdu.

In addition, because the eastern part of Huanchao City is close to the coast, many islanders on the sea do some business in Huanchao City, and exchange their local products for some necessities of life in Huanchao City.Like silk, tea, bronze swords, pottery, medicinal materials and so on.

On the spacious street where eight Xihei horses can run side by side, there is a steady stream of pedestrians. There are black-eyed, black-haired and yellow-skinned Han Chinese, and there are also tall, dark-skinned Xihei Ludan people who are full of the toughness of southern Xinjiang, and even blue beards and hair. The purebred Qingqiu people on the sea.

Zhongbo and the others stopped in front of an inn called Rugui. It was already daylight, but the two red lanterns were still hanging high in front of the inn, creating a warm atmosphere.The facade is quiet and elegant, with people coming and going, it is obvious that the business is very prosperous.

The little second inside was sharp-eyed. Seeing that although this group of people could not be said to be dressed in brocade clothes, they were numerous in number and had a graceful temperament, they rushed out quickly and cleverly, and kept shouting: "How many guests are there? Eat or be top-notch? Small shop..."

Zhong Boyi lifted the curtain, Xiao Er was taken aback for a moment, then grinned his white teeth and said with a smile: "Mr., it's you, your trip is going well."

A smile spread across Zhongbo Qingjun's face, and he said kindly, "Second brother, it's pretty smooth to fulfill your auspicious words."

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Do you want to stay at the hotel, sir?"

"Exactly."

"Then please come in quickly." He continued to greet, and the little second hand welcomed everyone into the store with extremely dexterous hands and feet.

"My lord, this is the last stop. There is no inn more than 300 miles ahead, let's rest here." Uncle Zhong came to the carriage respectfully and said in a deep voice.

A white and thin hand slowly stretched out from the carriage. Before anyone saw him, a deep cough came out: "Uncle Zhong, go get ready."

Although it was not the first time to see this mysterious guest officer, the waiter still felt a little dizzy for a while.It's not that this person is so extraordinary and elegant, on the contrary, his eyebrows and eyes are very ordinary, with light eyebrows, Danfeng eyes are slightly narrow and long, and his face is not very handsome, but has a trace of abnormal sickness and paleness.But as long as this person stands in front of him, a noble and pure temperament will slowly flow out. He is dressed in a moon-white cotton white robe, as if it should grow on him by nature. It fits elegantly and is not stained with the world.
