Before entering the city, I made a simple disguise with Liu Qingfeng. This time I went north, I had a few pairs of high-quality masks in my arms to take advantage of emergencies. But I thought that not many people knew us anyway, so I just stuck some beards and changed my temples and eyebrows. In this way, we looked thirty years old, changed into businessmen's clothes, and hid Lu Long and Chi Xiao on the tea cart.

As one of the three cities bordering the Ming Dynasty in the southern part of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xingchen City is far less deserted than Yanmen and Liaodong. Although there are many right and wrong at the junction of the two countries, it is an excellent way for business travelers to smuggle. However, on the one hand, there is more friction between Xuanfu and Xingchen City, and on the other hand, there is Chi Castle in the middle, and the left and right Ningwei bandits coveted it. Therefore, as the three major border trade cities, Xingchen City is not prominent.

When I arrived at the city gate, I saw that the city gate was heavily guarded, with several vendors, rangers and people queuing outside the city to prepare for a transit. Since the Northern Zhou and Ming dynasties had trade, postal and navigation thirty years ago, several profit-seeking merchants traveled between the two countries, reselling some popular supplies and making considerable profits.

Of course, for some heroes who travel around the world or students who study abroad, the Northern Zhou Dynasty Shendu City is also a must-visit place.

It is said that in those days, a great scholar Shen Junru drove an ox cart to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to give lectures from the Central Plains, but was excluded by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, Shen Junru did not expect that he would teach under a big locust tree without a classroom. After three years of lectures, he finally became a saint of Confucianism and broke through the Tianmen. This was also the only land god in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. For a hundred years, everyone has looked up to him, and even Emperor Wuming sighed that he was not as good as him.

However, although Shen Junru obtained the great way, Confucianism did not spread in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His students fled and died in the Northern Zhou Dynasty's destruction movement. However, the big locust tree in the Shendu City became a holy place for students in the Central Plains yearning for, and students who go to Shendu every year are also in constant force.

A pale-faced military officer who looked long-term malnutrition, holding a brush in his hand and not raising his head, asked, "name?"

We handed over the road guides that had been prepared early, Qin Sanqing and Liu Guanfeng.

gender?

Liu Qingfeng said, can’t you see clearly?

Why do you talk so much nonsense and don't answer the next one?

I even told you not to be angry, and I even gave you a Chinese group of men, men of gender and women.

When the soldier raised his head, he said impatiently, "What do I ask you, what are you answering?" Where did you come from and where did you go?"

I said to come from wherever you come from.

The soldier slapped the table and went out, the next one!

Liu Qingfeng said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry." We are merchants from the Central Plains. We pulled a cart of tea and sent it to Shendu. The soldiers said oh, and according to the old rules, 30% were raised for tariffs.

I said, "Your Majesty, this is probably inappropriate. This is a bit too much." The soldier knocked on the table and sneered, "Thirty percent is to give you face. If you talk more, you will get 50%.

The sound was a bit loud. Someone came in from the next room. Gang San'er was yelling so loudly. The man was wearing a Northern Zhou military uniform and holding a small teapot in his left hand. He probably should be the little leader here.

Gangsan said that these two people came to Dazhou to do business and refused to pay taxes. In my opinion, they might be spies from the Ming Dynasty. I thought you were really accurate. You came from the Dengwenyuan, but you were not spies. But they said that the two officials, we are great good people. You see, this is the order from Shendu City to purchase tea.

The man picked up the order, glanced at it, and with a snap, the small teapot fell to the ground, stepped forward and slapped Gang San'er. Do you dare to stretch out your hand randomly, such a blind thing, what is on Zuo Xian's mansion?

Gang San'er covered her face

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) I’m calling for justice, boss, I’m also following the rules.

Rules? In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zuo Xianwang is the rule! If you don’t want life, I want to live two more years. Why don’t you let it go quickly! Gang San was beaten for no reason and signed and stamped the document. We have passed the test.

The leader came to us and said, "In Xiaxingcheng, the general captain Lu Xingzhou, two brothers, surnamed Gao?"

Liu Qingfeng said he was unhappy.

Lu Xingzhou said awkwardly, I asked the two names of Gao?

I informed me of my name, Lu Xingzhou was quite attentive and insisted on treating us to dinner, but we refused and followed him to have a meal in Xingchen City.

It turned out that after Lu Xingzhou learned that our tea was given to King Zuo Xian to be used for the guests at the Northern Zhou Ghost Nuo Festival at the end of next month, he became interested and wanted to establish a relationship with King Zuo Xian's mansion.

During the meal, Lu Xingzhou kept talking to us and asked who we were familiar with Prince Zuo Xian’s mansion.

Liu Qingfeng was arrogant and to be honest, I had a life-long friendship with the young master of Zuo Xianwang. Last time, Zuo Gongzi came to Zhongyuan, I took him to the heaven and earth to spend money.

Lu Xingzhou said in confusion, Mr. Zuo?

Liu Qingfeng didn't know what Prince Zuo Xian was called, but his mind was quick to turn around and said that this was his pseudonym when he was in the capital and he was used to it.

Lu Xingzhou was skeptical and persuaded him to drink.

I sneered in my heart. Lu Xingzhou was so worldly. After learning that we were delivering tea to King Zuo Xian, we showed our great care and soon we called us brothers and brothers. We wanted to establish a relationship with King Zuo Xian's mansion through us.

People in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were aggressive and addicted to alcohol. They were even more aggressive when drunk. Every year, countless people died of fighting due to drunken fights. In addition, it was cold in the winter of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it was common for people to die of drunkenness to death on the roadside. Therefore, the Northern Zhou Dynasty court prohibited the production of liquor above 48 degrees.

After Liu Qingfeng agreed to invite Prince Zuo Xian to visit Xingchen City, Lu Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Qingfeng said, Brother Lu, although he is not short of money when he goes north this time, he still has a little insufficient money to deal with Prince Zuo.

Lu Xingzhou said, it’s easy to talk about money, but I’m afraid you don’t want money. Five thousand taels, are you enough? Liu Qingfeng’s eyes were round, but he was holding a show, Five thousand taels, this...

Lu Xingzhou gritted his teeth and 10,000 taels.

Liu Qingfeng said OK, let me try it, should I write you an IOU?

Lu Xingzhou said, there is no need, the two of you have clear names, hometowns, and addresses. I have many friends in Central Plains, and I believe you two will not be able to pay any debts.

I thought to myself that Lu Xingzhou is really a good person. If the rules of the world are collected, if you don’t do anything in the future, it will be a punishment of three swords and six holes. However, if you walk by the river often, you will not be wet. When you meet Liu Qingfeng, you deserve to be unlucky.

He was drunk, and Lu Xingzhou arranged accommodation for him.

On the second day, we bid farewell to the land boat and prepare to set off.

Walking in Xingchen City, the architectural style here is very different from that in the capital and Xiliang. Most of the houses are round arched with round arched roofs and quite Byzantine style. After walking around, Liu Qingfeng fell in love with the dry beef in the city. This is different from the Central Plains method. Four or five pounds of beef produces one pound of dried meat, which is quite chewy.

Liu Qingfeng took out five thousand taels of silver notes and said that he had half of it when he met. Don’t say that I was not worthy of it. I said that this is what you deserve for your labor, so I won’t take it for yourself. Liu Qingfeng said it’s okay, put it safe here, otherwise one day you will spend impulse and the money you earned will be gone. I said that you fooled people and you would be embarrassed to say that it was hard to make money? Liu Qingfeng said disdainfully,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) I got my life.

The two made a fortune, and Liu Qingfeng said they wanted to celebrate. They came to a noodle restaurant and ordered two bowls of spicy noodles. While eating, they discussed the matter of going north.

I said, since Yuan Jingang is a royal family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is not difficult to find him when he arrived in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. But we just killed Wanyan Yan, so he probably won't let us go.

Liu Qingfeng said, I had already inquired about Lu Xingzhou. After Wanyan Wan learned that his cub was killed by us, Thunder Ting was furious and sent more than 30 killers from Northern Zhou to Central Plains to avenge his son. He didn't expect that after we killed people, we not only did not hide, but instead came to Northern Zhou in a swagger, haha!

Although Liu Qingfeng reported Murong Baiyun and Li Boyang's name at that time, it is probably not difficult to find out that we were the culprits. I began to regret that I didn't kill Wanyan Yan and his subordinates together that day, which led to the current troubles.

The northern Zhou territory is narrow and narrow from east to west. From Xingchen City to Shendu, it has to be a hundred miles northwest. It passes by several major forces in the middle. In name, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was a monarchical empire, but the major cities were controlled by different nobles. They only had to pay extremely low taxes every year and nominally obeyed the arrangements of Emperor Zhou.

Seven or eight tourists from the rivers and lakes came to the store. Each of them called out a bowl of plain noodles, was taciturn and said nothing. They lowered their heads to eat noodles. Looking at the outfit, hairstyle and weapons, they should be from the rivers and lakes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

We had almost finished our meals. Just as we were about to check out and leave, a man and a woman came from outside the door. The man was handsome and free and comfortable. The woman had a graceful figure, like a peerless beauty.

Liu Qingfeng's eyes were straightened. I said you have someone with a girlfriend, why do you still look lustful? Liu Qingfeng handed a tissue, three views, can you wipe the nose bleeding first. I said I have had spicy food recently.

As soon as the two of them arrived, seven or eight gangsters were alert, as if they were facing a great enemy, and the leader told everyone not to move around. I thought about these two people, who looked good at martial arts, but I didn't know where they were. Especially this woman, I guess she could compete with Shen Luoyan.

The man said, What does Fairy Xie want to eat?

As soon as Fairy Xie came out, the seven or eight people trembled all over. I don’t know much about the Northern Zhou River and the Xiaosheng River and the Jianghu. I rarely involve the Northern Zhou River. In addition to occasionally saying that Emperor Wu is unknown, there are few reports on the Northern Zhou River and the Jianghu. This Fairy Xie is probably an extraordinary person in the Northern Zhou River and the Jianghu.

Fairy Xie looked at the shabby tables in the room and frowned, "I have been used to being rich and well-behaved since I was a child. How can I continue to eat such a simple noodle restaurant? But the matter is important. Boss, let's have three bowls of noodles."

The seven or eight people secretly paid the payment and were about to leave. Fairy Xie slapped the table. Before I finished eating, you would sit there obediently. Maybe I would be in a good mood and spare your life.

Three bowls of noodles came up, and the man was about to get a bowl, but Fairy Xie pushed him. These three bowls were mine, you have to order them yourself. As he said that, he picked up the chopsticks and ate them happily.

The man said, didn’t you say that serious matters?

Fairy Xie said yes, eating is a serious matter. The rest are not worth mentioning, man, come two garlics.

When Liu Qingfeng heard this, he burst into laughter and whispered to me, "The Northern Zhou Dynasty is really interesting. There are even fairies who eat garlic in the world!"

I teased, what happened to the fairy eating garlic? You, a hero, also sell skewers with bare hands. People only have different positions, no distinction between high and low.

Although the sound was very low, the fairy Xie heard it. The chopsticks in his hand shook, and a noodles shot out from the bowl and rushed towards Liu Qingfeng's face.
