Ren Zhen retrieved the Liuhe Sword, did not shrink it into a sword bracelet and wrapped it around his wrist, and used his divine thoughts all the way to run towards Long Ze in the east of the forest.Stuffed from the anus straight into the stomach, can it smell good?
After washing it with lake water, he collected his sword and went north, riding on the wind and galloping, not only wanting to chase and kill Wu Fei and destroy the plan of Danqing Dao, but also not wanting to be caught up by Yu Zhile, so that the dragon's throat would clear his suspicion.I have to say that Wu Gongzi's desire to survive is very strong, in the moment when Ren Zhen and Yu Zhile were deadlocked, he had left this deep forest in a hurry, and the speed of escape was extremely amazing, Ren Zhen searched along the road, but failed to detect his traces.He traveled all the way north to the outside of Longze City.Eight hundred miles of barren rivers, many barren mountains and large rivers, lack of open flat land, so there are very few towns.The scale of this Longze City is very large, and it can even be compared with those prosperous cities in the Central Plains.The reason is simple, the barter method is too primitive to successfully match the transaction, and they have to gather together as much as possible, only in this way will the probability of successful buying and selling increase.As a result, it has become one of the largest towns and cities with a large number of barren people who need to trade.He was very unfamiliar with the rules of the city, and in order not to cause trouble, he did not rush into the city immediately, but first found a forest to rest for a while.At noon, he came to the gate of the city and found Makino squatting in the corner waiting for him.Makino bought two straw hats from the city, brought one to Ren Zhen, and asked in a low voice, "Should you go back to rob the rhino last night?"
Ren Zhen smiled, noncommittal, and followed him into the city.The streets of the city are very wide, and because the temporary nature of buying and selling is too strong, there are no shops on both sides of the road, but there are stalls of all sizes selling all kinds of wild food.Ren Zhen shuttled through the crowd, browsed casually, and said: "Your aunt told me that there is only one rule in this city, no fights and robberies are allowed.I would like to know who would want to offend someone if they did it openly"The necessary condition for the rules to work is to have a strong supervisor to ensure that the rules are enforced.If no one can stand up and defend the binding force of the rules, then such rules will be trampled on by everyone and will be useless.Makino exhaled white steam in his mouth and replied: "You might as well ask directly, who the city lord here is actually very simple, and those who are qualified to be the city lord must be beyond the nine major tribes, so that they can be impartial and convincing from the tribes." ”Ren Zhen actually had the answer in his heart, but he just wanted to verify his guess, "It's the Cloud Emperor himself" Only Baiyun City has enough strength and status to surpass the Desolate Tribe.At the same time, the benefits associated with Longze City are too huge, and they are the only ones who are qualified to make the tribes bow their heads and be willing to be siphoned off a part of the dividends.Makino shook his head, "Emperor Yun can't live in the depths, and he hides in the depths of the clouds and mist all year round to raise cranes.The one who took care of his business was the deputy city lord of Baiyun City, that is, the city lord of Longze City, Bai Jiuxuan. ”Hearing this name, Ren Zhen muttered in his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly.When he used to be the owner of the embroidery workshop, he rummaged through the secret files in the workshop and knew that Yunyin was the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was forced to hide in the depths of the barren river after the death of the country, and in the Southern Song Dynasty of that year, the Bai family was in charge of the dynasty, which was the first family and loyal to the royal family for generations.In this way, that Bai Jiuxuan should be the descendant of the Bai family, who followed Yunyin to escape here, and is still willing to be loyal."
Before Emperor Yun came to the Arakawa, this Longze City was originally under the control of the Firmament Ministry, after all, they shouldered the sacred mission of priests.But later, the Firmament Department was destroyed, and Baiyun City was dominant, and the transactions here became sour" Ren Zhen thought thoughtfully, "What do you mean by changing the taste" Makino dragged Ren Zhen to a secluded place, habitually squatted on the ground, and said: "In the past, the Firmament Department was only responsible for maintaining order and did not interfere in the transactions between buyers and sellers.But Baiyun City is different, they have no fear, and they have to get a piece of the pie. ”Ren Zhen followed the customs of the locals and squatted down with him."
Don't look at the fact that when we enter the city, no one will stop us from searching, and when we get out of the city, we won't be so polite.There will be soldiers guarding the exit, and the geese will pluck their feathers, and they will deduct a part according to the items you bring out" Ren Zhen frowned, "Isn't this a robber, they can take whatever they want" Makino sighed helplessly, "This is the same as your taxes in the Central Plains."
It's just that we don't use money among our tribes, and we can't collect the prescribed amount, so we can only pick it up by their temperament. ”In this way, people's subjective initiative plays too big a role, and as a result, Bai Jiuxuan does whatever he wants and wantonly extorts goods.But the tribes had to come, after all, this is the largest place to buy and sell, and it is the easiest to help them complete the sale.What Long Zecheng deducted was only a small part, in order to be able to sell the prey and medicinal herbs in exchange for the much-needed items, he could endure a loss.Ren Zhen said coldly: "If they take away the most valuable treasures, won't the traders lose all their money?"
"Generally, it won't be like this, because it's not necessary."
If Baiyun City needs something, it will directly send people to the tribes to ask for it, and at the end of the year, it will get a large amount of tribute, relatively speaking, the things that are sold in the city will not be too expensive. ”When Ren Zhen heard this, the chill in his eyes became stronger.No wonder Yun Yin is called Emperor Yun, and it is really an emperor-like style.He conquered the barren clan by force, hid in this barren river to bully the poor, and acted as a prestige, how could he have the slightest kingly demeanor, and it was strange that such a royal family would not die in the country.Makino reminded: "If you bring any treasures, tell me truthfully, you can leave it at my second uncle's house, and then find a way to smuggle it out later."
He lives in the city all year round, and he is more familiar with the guards, so it must be more convenient. ”It's obviously his own thing, but it's like being a thief, and he has to be sneaky when he even goes out of the city, I have to say that Bai Jiuxuan's style is too despicable.Ren Zhen stood up and said, "In that case, go to your second uncle's house first." ”Makino hummed and led the way.After he hurried into the city last night, he stayed at his second uncle's house.Ren Zhen suddenly remembered for a moment and asked, "Strange, Dan Jue Muyun is your aunt, and there is your second uncle in this city, but when I listened to Abin's tone that day, it seemed that you we" He didn't say it directly.Makino's expression was gloomy, "Abin is not wrong, I am indeed an orphan, and I was adopted by the War Song Department as an adult.My father-in-law, that is, Aunt Muyun's brother, died in battle at the Shennong Ceremony in his early years, and the patriarch couldn't bear it, so he raised me for him until I became an adult. ”Ren Zhen patted him on the shoulder, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and ticked out all the things that made him more sad.However, having said that, Makino's father-in-law died in battle at the Shennong ceremony, it seems that it is not as simple as a festival, but a hidden infinite killing opportunity.Soon, the two walked into an alleyway and then into a grocery store.The shop is small, full of utensils, and there is almost no open space for your feet.A middle-aged fat man squatted on the ground, bowed his head to wipe a pottery, and looked intent, facing the top of his bare head at the two of them
