Original War

Chapter 432

After a year of absence, the “Black Bear” still had an impression of Shao Xuan. What’s more, Mao Da had already sent someone to the city to report the situation of the caravan to the “Black Bear” in advance.

“Haha, it’s been a long time, Brother Shao Xuan.” The “Black Bear” strode over, and patted Shao Xuan’s shoulder vigorously with a fan-like palm. This is the etiquette of their tribe and a way of expressing enthusiasm and welcome.

If it is an ordinary person, under such palm strength, the bones will be shot and fall apart, and even if they can hold it, they will tremble.

Shao Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, and he returned with the same courtesy.

Shao Xuan slapped him with a few slaps, “The black bear stiffened on his face, but he quickly recovered, but he no longer expressed his “enthusiasm” anymore. He took Shao Xuan and Guangyi into the house and let someone make arrangements. Room. There are a lot of people in their caravans, and there are special empty guest rooms.

Mao Da told the “black bear” about Shao Xuan’s purpose of coming to the royal city this time.

“Are you looking for’Jin Gu’ Jiju?” “Black Bear” thought for a while, and said: “Jingu Jiju hasn’t appeared in the royal city for a long time. However, according to the news I know, Jin Gu Jiju seems to be planting again. What a good thing, and it took a lot of effort. From last year until now, I have stayed in his own village outside the city. Few people can see him. Shao Xuan, you want to find Jiju, I am afraid it is a bit difficult.”

“Always try.” Shao Xuan said. On the road these days, he already knew a lot about the old man Jiju from the Mao Da brothers. Before, he only knew that Jiju was related to the royal city and his status was not low. Now it seems that he still underestimated the old man.

However, thinking of the thousand grains of gold with him, the plan to find Jiju will not change.

Seeing that Shao Xuan had made up his mind, the “Black Bear” stopped persuading him. Like the Mao Da brothers, he thought that if Shao Xuan really could catch the Jin Gu Jiju line, they could also drink some soup, Jin Gu Jiju. It’s not easy to get things done, there’s no way to get things done at all.

After a little thought, “Black Bear” said: “Well then, I’ll be fine tomorrow, and I will take you to the village of Jiju outside the city to try your luck and see if you can see him.”

“Thank you first, then.”

“Haha, you are polite, if you can really see Jiju, I would like to thank you Lao Hei!” “Black Bear” asked people to prepare food, and called people over to inquire about Jiju’s recent activities.

The next day, “Black Bear” took Shao Xuanhe and Guangyi out of the city.

A six or seven-meter-high mammoth walked slowly in the city with elephant legs like stone pillars. This was carried by people from other caravans, and the mammoth was carrying goods. The elephant’s legs stepped on the ground and made noises, and the dust on the ground was shaken up. When they passed by Shao Xuan and the others, a cloud of dust was raised.

Such behemoths are not uncommon in the city, and the people in the king’s city are not surprised, and they don’t look at it more.

Although the royal city allows giant beasts to enter, it does not mean that these giant beasts are allowed to run around.

Different caravans come from different tribes. Here, in addition to the various large and small caravans that come and go, you can also see some more delicately dressed people sitting on the animal carts. That is the treatment only the nobles have. Others are not allowed to ride in animal carts in the city. Even the giant beasts carrying goods in the caravan cannot ride on people. This is the rule of the king city.

Because it was the first time Shao Xuan came to Wangcheng, it was too late when he entered the city yesterday, and Mao Da did not tell Shao Xuanduo. Now the “black bear” briefly talked to Shao Xuan and Guangyi about the situation in the royal city.

Shao Xuan heard the tone of “Black Bear”. Although there are many rules here, caravan leaders like “Black Bear” are not afraid of those nobles, nor do they think they are inferior to them. When it comes to those nobles who hold their chins in the city When it came to the children, “Black Bear” still had obvious disdain in his tone.

The city was very lively, and the voices of people and the roars of beasts were mixed in the wide streets.

There is the sound of copper coins colliding in the ears. In Wangcheng, the currency used is copper coins. The shape is a long and narrow golden leaf, which is half smaller than a pinky finger. It looks very similar to a thousand-grain gold leaf. It is also called by people. “Golden Leaf”.

Without seeing much inside the city, the “black bear” took Shao Xuan and two directly out of the city, passing a 10-meter-wide dirt road on the left side of the city gate.

“Jiju’s Zhuangzi is in that position. I have been there before with the previous leader, but unfortunately I didn’t see Jiju’s people.” As he walked there, “Black Bear” told Shao Xuan about his previous experience. experience.

“At that time, the name of Jingu was already known by many tribes. Even some tribes far away had heard of Jin Gu Ji dwelling. Every year, many people from the tribe came to the royal city with admiration, because they can no longer see from inside the royal city. Jiju produces golden millet, so many people go to Jiju’s Zhuangzi to block people. Who knows, they are all blocked outside the Zhuangzi, even the door is not allowed to enter.”

“Black Bear” said so much, it also gave Shao Xuan a preparation in his heart. If you can’t see the people of Jiju, you don’t need to be discouraged, everyone is like this.

According to the “Black Bear”, the name Jingu Jiju is really useful, even if it is a weed that came out of the land where Jingu Ji lives, some people are willing to pay a high price to buy it.

There are people playing piracy far away from the royal city, claiming to be produced from the “Golden Valley” outside the royal city, selling the old high price, and many people go to trade. But in fact, the things that Ji lived here have always been in short supply. Even if they travel thousands of miles to the king’s city, they may not be able to buy them.

The “black bear” along the road also told Shao Xuan, where he passed, which piece of land belonged to his family, and how many slaves were there. Generally speaking, the larger the land, the more slaves you have, and the higher the status of the slave owner in the royal city. Therefore, you don’t need to look at people, but you can get a general impression just by looking at the land.

There are some tall fence posts around the ground to stop those who want to enter. As for the fence posts, from the gaps between the stakes, you can vaguely see the large and small scattered wooden houses around the land. These are all for taking care of the field. Slave.

“These are owned by some idle nobles, and passed on from generation to generation. If you have the ability, the land you can get will expand. If you don’t have the ability, you make a mistake and suffer a crime, then the land will be taken back… well. , Over there, when I came here two years ago, I heard that the slave owner of that land had committed a crime and was taken back to the land. Now the master there has changed.

As they were talking, the three suddenly heard the sound of wheels from far and near behind them.

“Go away! Go away! Don’t get in the way!” someone shouted.

Originally, Shao Xuan and the three were planning to get out of the way, but they didn’t move when they heard this, and turned to look over.

It was a two-horse-drawn cart, two horses pulling the cart. The back was three meters high, brown fur, and a big sharp horn on the head. The hoof was like a basin. When you step on the ground, you can still hear the ground. The sound of the stone being crushed. The car was covered with fine silk cloth, and there were patterns on the cloth. Shao Xuan also knows that pattern, it is the tribal pattern of the royal family Ji family, and it is also the pattern of the Ji clan today.

When the people in the royal city saw this kind of clan pattern, most of them would spontaneously give way, but some would not.

“Black Bear” didn’t want to cause trouble, so he let him chant, but he was not happy to be yelled at.

Although it was not fast because of the uneven road, the horseshoe didn’t mean to slow down, stepped on the ground one after another, and rushed forward.

There were also eight guards who followed the carriage. Those guards knew the “black bear”. Seeing this, they couldn’t help but say “bad” in their hearts.

Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer, the three Shao Xuan who were blocking the road did not let go. The haze flashed in the eyes of the driver, waving a long horse whip, urging the horse to smash it directly.

Seeing this, the guards who were running next to him scolded the idiot who was driving the car a thousand words, but it was too late to stop it now.

These two horses are not new horses that have just pulled the cart anymore. There are many situations like this, so after the whip, the hooves stepped more forcefully, the horse’s head drooped, and the sharp corners on the head faced forward.

Upon seeing this, the “black bear” snorted mockingly, and instead of retreating, he took a big step towards the carriage, and grabbed a large bronze knife with two wide palms on his back that was more than one meter long.

The generous large bronze sword bloomed with an undisguised aura of aggression, with wild wildness and harsh murderous aura.

“Black Bear” grabbed a large copper knife, and between his arms, the blade drew a cold light in the air, stabbing it like the sharp claws of a beast.

Bang!

The ground in front of the black bear was easily broken by a half-meter-wide opening, and the violent air spread around with the splashing dust. The flying hard clod like raindrops on the two forward horses, banging. Turned into smoke.

Even if it’s just a block of soil, when the hardness, speed, volume, and quantity all reach a certain level, the attack power cannot be underestimated.

The two horses pulling the cart raised their front legs and let out a neigh under the heavy rain of dirt. They probably also felt their irresistible Killing intent on the black bear. This stopped, stopped decisively.

The horse came to a sudden stop, and the person sitting in the carriage almost fell out of it.

Shao Xuan moved the curtain of the carriage, and a sweet voice came from inside: “What’s the matter!”

Following these words with a strong condemnation, the curtain was pulled apart, and a young woman in pure white fur jumped out of the carriage, probably because of the chaos just now, her hair was a little messy.

The person who came out with a cold face glanced at the three Shao Xuan and said sharply: “What a courage!”

“Black Bear” blew the dust on the knife, and laughed at this. He never took the initiative to offend others, but only if the other party did not take the initiative to provoke him. The leader of the dignified black bear caravan, the leader of the tribe, was yelled at. “Get off”, if he gives in now, who can still value the “Black Bear” caravan in the future? Face is given to each other, you don’t give me Face, why should I give you a face?

Six royal families? Nor is the royal family! Slip of the tongue? Slips are still not allowed! So courageous? I have always been courageous!

The black bear didn’t mean to retreat at all, but still stood firmly there.

The guards around the young woman wanted to say something several times, but there was no room for them to intervene. Besides, according to the master’s temperament, she would not listen.
