Luoyang.

As the New Year is approaching, more and more people have been rushing into the city to buy goods in recent days.

Due to material control, ordinary people cannot purchase large amounts of materials at once, but there are exceptions.

For example, each aristocratic family sends people to lead teams into the mountains for hunting. This part of the meat can be purchased at will, and the price is fair.

In this era, wild beasts in the mountains are considered natural disasters and must be cleaned up almost once or twice a year.

The great monsters in mythology that cause harm to the world are basically based on them, which shows how deeply the ancients hated them.

Therefore, don’t talk about wildlife protection laws. If we continue to protect them, the caravans will not be able to leave and the farmland will be overrun by pigs.

White Horse Temple, the largest trading market in Luoyang.

As soon as a few hunters walked in carrying a large and colorful tiger, they were sold away by traders who had been waiting for a long time.

With the copper coins and food stamps in hand, I went to purchase a large amount of food, mainly potatoes, followed by sweet potatoes and corn.

When purchasing supplies, you need to show your famous thorn bamboo sign and purchase goods on a per-person basis. If you purchase goods in large quantities, you must have a document stamped by the county chief register.

These hunters obviously came on behalf of the hundreds of people in the village, pulling a loaded donkey cart.

"Brother, buy some red headbands for your sister-in-law and little sister."

The leader of the hunters tightened the money bag in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Buy a piece of red cloth, and just cut it into pieces later. The red-headed rope is too expensive, enough to buy several kilograms of grease."

Several other people looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

It's really not worth it. A red rope costs five cents, while a foot of red cloth and cloth stamps only cost twenty-one cents. Cutting it can produce dozens of red ropes. Although it is not durable, it only needs to be wrapped with rattan.

Together, that's fine.

Several people pulled the donkey cart and rushed to Buzhuang again.

The leader of the hunters ordered his brothers to guard the donkey cart while he went in and bought a foot of red cloth.

The New Year is approaching, and the fabric shop is crowded with people. I finally squeezed into the front row, but I found that there were very few fabrics on the cabinet.

"Stop squeezing, don't push forward. The next batch of fabrics will have to wait for three days. Now there are only white and black cloths. Those who want to go forward, everyone else must give way." The shopkeeper shouted loudly.

There were sighs from the crowd, and the Orion frowned slightly, and could only walk back helplessly.

But at this moment, a woman's headband attracted his attention, and the man hurriedly stepped forward to stop the woman.

"Excuse me, madam, where did you buy this rope?"

The woman was a little annoyed at first, but when the man asked her about the hair tie, she immediately put on a smile and said: "Haha, brother, you have such good taste. This hair tie is beautiful. I bought it from Wei's Grocery Store. A small bag only costs three cents. There are...

There are ten of them.”

"so cheap?"

The woman nodded and said, "It's so cheap, and this is not a rope, it's a rubber band, and it can be used to tie your hair."

The man muttered "rubber band" and then hurriedly bowed to the woman with his fists raised.

He ran to the door, called to the brothers and said, "Let's go to Wei's Grocery Store."

When the brothers saw that his hands were empty, they all asked curiously: "Brother, where is the cloth?"

The man had no choice but to explain to them. When they learned that the grocery store sold cheap hair ties, everyone stepped up their steps.

Unexpectedly, I finally got to the grocery store, only to find that it was already overcrowded.

Wei's shop is different from other stores. You need to queue up to shop here, so even though there are many people, it is still orderly in the chaos.

When he learned that he had to queue up, the man turned around and said, "How about you go back first, and I'll queue up alone and buy a hair tie and rush back overnight."

Several men looked at each other. They were suddenly not in a hurry to go back. They all wanted to go in and see what this grocery store was selling.

How come there are so many people queuing at the door?

Just when everyone was hesitant.

Boom, boom, boom!

A procession carrying a big red flag came up the street, and the scribe at the head struck the gong three times.

He shouted loudly: "Registration is open for the first Imperial Martial Arts Tournament. The prizes are generous, including sewing machines, bicycles, sweat-blooded BMWs, and hundreds of various magical weapons. Those who enter the top 500 will also receive several consolation prizes and food stamps."

, cloth tickets, pastry tickets and other types of tickets, ten each."

Boom, boom, boom!

"Registration is now open for the first Imperial Martial Arts Tournament. The prizes are generous, including sewing machines, bicycles, sweaty BMWs, and hundreds of magic weapons and swords of all kinds. Those who enter the top 500 will also receive several consolation prizes, food stamps, and cloth stamps.

Ten each of various types of bills such as pastry tickets."

The long line of people queuing up in front of the grocery store suddenly started talking, and they were very interested in this martial arts tournament.

The hunters at the back of the queue also opened their eyes wide.

"Brother, hurry up and sign up. With your body, there is no problem in getting into the top 100, not to mention the top ten."

"Yes, Brother Niu, you must sign up. Maybe the Longshan Army will take a fancy to you and recruit you."

The middle-aged driver driving the donkey cart also stepped forward and said, "Niu Jin, this is a good opportunity for you to get ahead."

Niu Jin looked at the driver, hesitant.

The coachman then said: "Silly boy, why are you trying so hard? A man should make great contributions. You spend all your time fighting wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and you will be a lower class for the rest of your life. Don't you want your two children to live a better life with you?"

Good days?”

Niu Jin was stunned for a moment, thinking of his young children at home, and then looking at the well-dressed children on the street, he felt sad in his heart.

Yes, this is a good opportunity to change your destiny!

Niu Jin clenched his fists, raised his head, cupped his fists and saluted the coachman, and said, "Second uncle, I'm going to sign up right away. Second uncle here will keep an eye on me, especially the food in the carriage, so there must be no loss."

The coachman laughed loudly, sat cross-legged on the shaft of the coach, and said loudly: "When I, Niu Laoer, killed the enemy on the battlefield, your kid was not born yet. You go, I am here to watch, no one dares to cause trouble."

.”

Niu Jin smiled awkwardly, then clasped his fists and saluted the brothers, and then ran to the guard station.

···

Chengbei Station.

When I was still far away, I saw two young men fighting with long sticks in the yard.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The "bang bang bang" sound caused the horses nearby to neigh uneasily.

But everyone onlookers shouted that it was wonderful.

"Zhao Zihu is worthy of being the God of War. He can break such a thick horse-roping pole with just one stick. If that stick were to hit a person, he would probably be torn to pieces."

"The hero who can fight with him without losing is also very powerful. Speaking of which, why haven't you heard of such a powerful person before?"

"Haha, don't you know this? This man is my hero from Liangzhou, the former hussar general Zhang Jicong's son!"

Several Liangzhou merchants looked proud.

It's not surprising that they were like this. You must know that the person who fought Zhang Xiu was the famous flying general and war god Zhao Zihu.

While speaking, Zhao Feng on the field suddenly stepped back, put away his long stick, and stood still.

"Okay, let's not fight anymore. The senior brother is indeed the senior brother, and the younger brother is willing to be inferior."

On the other side, Zhang Xiu also took two steps back and said breathlessly: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your marksmanship seems to have improved again. I'm afraid the master will try his best against you."

Zhao Feng was also out of breath, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master said I'm still far behind. In terms of martial arts talent, you and Zilong are far better than me."

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment and glanced at the [Flying General] gold medal on Zhao Feng's waist.

He shook his head and said: "It's a pity that martial arts is not the art of war. Personal force has little effect on the battlefield."

Zhao Feng frowned slightly, feeling that Zhang Xiu had been hit in some way.

At this time, a beautiful woman came over at the door of the post house and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Xiu'er, why don't you ask the general to come in and have a rest? There are so many people here."

The crowd murmured again, and this time the target was obviously the beautiful woman.

Zhang Xiu heard a few dirty words coming from the crowd, and immediately shouted coldly: "Keep your mouths clean!"

The beautiful woman didn't take it seriously, and she seemed to be used to it. She just watched with pleasure as Zhang Xiu drank away those people who were uttering obscene words.

Zhao Feng also frowned and looked at those people with a fierce look on his face.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Let General Zhao laugh, don't worry about some remarks. General, come in and sit for a while. I have already ordered people to warm the wine, so I won't argue with these people."

Zhao Feng saw that she had already said that, so he gave up and respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Auntie, I'm here to help."

The beautiful woman smiled gently, stepped forward and pulled Zhang Xiu, frowning and said, "Xiu'er, don't cause trouble outside."

Zhang Xiu glared at those people angrily before giving up.

The three of them came to a small courtyard. The posthouse in the north of the city was quite large, so naturally it had an independent courtyard specially designed for guests to stay.

After sitting down.

Zhao Feng looked around and asked doubtfully: "Senior Brother, why don't you see General Zhang?"
