"Zhan, you read that right, there are indeed many warriors coming in and out of that cave, like a place where they train warriors, they can't get too close, I don't know how big it is inside. The pasture outside the cave is not for eating It is a beast, but a riding beast, with a huge body and a strange pattern on its forehead." Dahe said in a low voice.
Yuan Zhan nodded. They hovered in the sky before and almost saw the general distribution of Morgan. This tribe is located in the middle reaches of the big river, just beside the big river. There are mountains and forests nearby, but they are not high, but the trees are very dense. In Mo's words, it is in the Great Plains.
The new city that Morgan is building is a bit far from the big river, and the terrain is higher than the wooden village. I guess it is to prevent the big river from flooding during the rainy season.
There is a stretch of low mountains near the new city. Yuan Zhan has a sharp eye. He saw many people who looked like soldiers coming in and out of a cave, and he also saw a lot of wild beasts. Is it out of a kind of fighting wildness or animal intuition? He subconsciously felt that the place was very important, but because he couldn't get down to take a closer look, he asked Dahe to take a look after it fell down.
"In addition, they don't allow people to approach their newly built city." Dahe also saw that the city imitated Jiuyuan, and felt very unhappy, "I just circled around, and the wooden village built by the river has only the front The wooden wall and the open space behind it seem to be used only for the market, and the Moor cadre’s residence is a little behind, where there are high wooden walls on all sides.”
In a few sentences, the gate of the wooden village with only one wooden wall arrived, but they could not enter immediately, and had to queue up. The gatekeepers at the gate were asking and inspecting the various tribal merchants who came.
Except for Yan Mo, it was the first time for Yuan Zhan to line up in such a team. It was more or less a novelty, and I didn't think it was a waste of time.
Under Yan Mo's instruction, Dahe descended behind a few people, and chatted with the merchants who lined up behind them.
And a tribal trader who was in front of Yan Mo and others was also very curious about Yan Mo and his party, and the young man who was behind him turned his head to peek at Yan Mo from time to time. The young man seemed to be about the same age as Yan Mo in appearance.
Yan Mo got a little impatient at being peeped by that boy.
Yuan Zhan was funny, but he didn't scare the young man from peeking at Yan Mo.
"Hey, what's your name? Which tribe are you from?" The young man couldn't help but start hooking up with Yan Mo, his eyes flicked from Yan Mo's head to his feet, and finally back to his head, "That's you Do you raise a bird? Why does it sit on your head and not fly away? Do you know how to train birds? Do you have many such birds? Can you exchange them? And you are wearing really good clothes, especially your feet Is it possible to exchange for that kind of animal skin wrap?"
"Jie! You're a little bird! Your whole family is a little bird!" Jiu Feng blew wind blade at the young man.
The wind blade passed over the top of the boy's head, cutting off a strand of hair from the boy, but the boy didn't know anything about it.
"Jiu Feng, don't lose your temper." Yan Mo hurriedly comforted Bird Master above his head, he didn't want to pay attention to the child with many problems, he poked Yuan Zhan and let him talk.
Yuan Zhan tried his best to restrain his hostility, and asked the young man: "Little guy, what's your name? Which tribe do you come from?"
The young man was a little afraid of Yuan Zhan, but when he saw that he spoke in a friendly manner, his courage grew a little, "My name is Tuqiu, and we come from the Tuya tribe on the other side of Wolf Mountain. What about you?"
"We come from the Jiuyuan tribe in the upper reaches of the river, Tuqiu, what can you exchange with us?"
"We have a lot of good things!" Rabbit Hill puffed up his chest, "By the way, why didn't I see your goods?"
Yuan Zhan smiled, this is also a cunning brat, "We will go with the goods in batches, and we will go faster with fewer people."
"Oh, no wonder." Tuqiu still likes Yan Mo, who is about the same age as him, and is not very interested in talking to Yuan Zhan. After talking to Yuan Zhan, he wants to hook up with Yan Mo again, "Hey, what's your name?" Name? Do you want to play with us on Tuya? I can treat you to delicious food!"
"Jie?" Jiu Feng became a little interested when he heard the delicious food.
Yan Mo is not against visiting other tribes. Seeing the enthusiasm of the children, it is hard for him not to say a word, "My name is Mo Da, what delicious food does your tribe have?"
"That's a lot, we have... umm!"
A big hand covered Tuqiu's mouth, and a hoarse and helpless male voice sounded: "You little bastard is here to harass others again, be careful to get beaten like last time!"
The person who spoke was a young man in his late twenties with a strong body and diagonal lines on both sides of his cheeks near his temples. He looks a bit fierce, but when he smiles, there is a deep dimple on his left cheek, which adds a bit of cuteness to his fierceness.
The man let go of the rabbit mound, looked at Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan, "Hello, I'm the brother who talks a lot and makes trouble, Tuhou. I heard from you just now that you are from the upper reaches of the river?"
Yuan Zhan replied, "Yes."
Yan Mo looked at Rabbit Roar. The name is very interesting. It has the name of a beast named Hou, which looks like a rabbit, and its body is only about a foot long. Ligers and tigers are afraid of it, because its skin and flesh will rot if its feces get on its upper body.
Tuhou's face changed slightly, "Are you from a wild land?"
"Oh? So our place is called a wild land?" Yan Mo laughed, pretending that it was the first time he had heard such a term.
Rabbit Roar sneered, "We don't know where it is, very few people go there. But..."
Rabbit Roar turned his eyes around the two of them, and said with a hoarse smile: "After seeing you, I am afraid that no one in the nearby tribes will say that the highland upstream of the river is a barren land. This is the first time you have come to Moore. Dry?"
"Yes." Yan Mo suddenly smiled, "If you sing, you will definitely have many fans."
"What?" Rabbit Roar was stunned, and the others didn't understand. What singing, fans? What it is
"I'm complimenting you on your beautiful voice."
Rabbit roared, "...thank you."
My voice is also very nice, Yuan Zhan tugged Yan Mo's ear.
Yan Mo opened his hand, "Rabbit Roar, can you tell us about the Morgan Market? Is there anything that needs special attention? Do we want to do Moore some favors when we go in?"
Tuhou didn't want to offend these people without knowing their strength. Although he didn't understand the young man's words just now, he didn't seem to have any malice towards them from his honest face. He simply smiled generously and said, "Of course we must give them some benefits , usually before leaving, give them three-tenths of all the goods exchanged in the end."
"so many?"
"No way, only Mogan dares to set up such a big market nearby, and only Mogan can suppress all tribes. Even tribes that have deep hatred for each other are not allowed to make trouble in Mogan Bazaar. During the market, The Morgans will be responsible for protecting all the people and goods from the tribes, and after they leave, they will send people to escort the tribal teams out of the Morgans, and promise that they will not send people to rob them, and they will not let other tribes do it."
"If you leave Morgan, you have to rely on yourself?"
"Yes. But it's just worth it. Generally, each tribe will send a large number of people to meet their own tribe's team outside the boundary of Morgan. As long as they are careful, they can usually return safely."
"Should the tribal teams only stay in the open space behind this wooden wall?"
"Yes, Mogan does not allow the tribes that come to trade to hunt nearby. They have to bring their own food, and water from the river can be taken at will, but they are not allowed to run around, let alone enter the place where Mogan lives. Killed, Morgan will not have any compensation, and if you want to rescue the captured people, you have to follow the slave trade." Tuhou wanted to make friends with Yan Mo and his party, but he didn't hide much, and sent some necessary items to the Morgan market. Common sense told them all.
The boy from Rabbit Hill interjected: "Morgan is also the largest slave trading market nearby. They have pointed boats and spinner turtles that can pull the boats. They like to go to the lower reaches of the river to catch slaves and then transport them up. I heard that their The boat can still reach the Three Cities. But they have been arresting people nearby before the boat disappeared, and many people from our earth cliff were arrested by them!"
"Rabbit Hill!" The rabbit roared in a low voice.
Tuqiu stuck out his tongue, but before his brother could speak, he said, "You Jiuyuan, be careful, you are dressed so well, and it's the first time you come to Morgan, you will definitely be targeted by them!"
Rabbit Roar was so angry that he slapped Rabbit Qiu on the head.
Rabbit Hill yelled "Ouch", and laughter came from the team of Rabbit Roaring.
Tuhou has a headache for this younger brother.
Yan Molue sincerely expressed his gratitude to the brothers. The news was common to them, but it was really precious to them who came to Morgan for the first time.
The good guy Rabbit roared to the end, and directly offered an invitation: "If you want to go to the market later, you can go with us and occupy a piece of land next to us, so you don't have to find another place. It's the first time If the trading team doesn’t give a lot of benefits to the person who arranges, they will be arranged in a very bad place. If someone comes to take you, you will say that there is an arrangement.”
Yuan Zhan lightly touched his chest with his right fist, and nodded to Rabbit Hou: "Thank you."
"It's nothing. When you make a deal, just exchange some good things for us. When will your team come? How many goods?"
"Many, let's go in and settle down first, and come out to meet them when we receive the news." Yan Mo had already thought of this. He didn't get the goods out at the beginning, but he pretended to enter Morgangan first to have a look, if there were any If it is worth exchanging, take out samples and discuss ideas with them in detail.
If they really need a large amount of goods to show off, they will come out again, make Jiufeng bigger, and transport the goods directly to the market.
When they arrived at the gate of Muzhai, the gatekeepers only asked some questions and let them in.
Ding Ning and Ding Fei were surprised by this, and Ding Fei couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Mo Da, isn't Morgan Gan not afraid of the enemy sneaking in?"
Yan Mo didn't answer, but Dahe replied, "Since they dare to open this market, they won't be afraid of the enemy sneaking in. What's more, we didn't enter their real residence, but only in the outer space. Don't underestimate Morgan! "
"yes!"
Behind the wooden wall is even more lively. The open space is full of goods, pack animals and people. The animals call and the birds sing, and people cry and cry.
Yan Mo noticed that the market here is also divided into locations, because there are a lot of people and a lot of goods. Unlike Jiuyuan, which only had two rows of stalls facing each other before, this place is divided into many rows like multiple rows of parking lots. There are several huge spaces, and those tribal teams each occupy a space, and some teams have more people and more goods occupy a whole row, such as the booth of Morgan.
Most of the tribal teams bring their own tents, and the tents of many teams have already been set up.
Some teams are lighting fires to make food in front of their own sites, and many men and women who look like slaves are transporting water and wood back and forth, or tending to pack animals, unloading goods, etc.
"Teams that have been here several times have their own fixed positions. Those who come for the first time or want to change positions have to go to the person in charge of the market. See if there is one with the red feather on their head over there. But that The guy is very difficult to talk to, if it’s not necessary, it’s best not to go to him.” Tu Hou asked the others to take up their seats first, and explained in a low voice while leading Yan Mo and his party.
"The whole row of seats over there is Morgan's own stall. They mainly sell slaves. If you want good slaves, you can go to them, but the exchange price will be higher than other tribes. Other tribes also brought slaves. In exchange, if you want slaves, you can choose them."
"That's the Xibian tribe, the second most powerful tribe in the vicinity after the Morgan. People in their tribe can drive a beast called Xibian, which is very similar to a wolf beast, but more cunning and fierce than a wolf beast. , there are legends that they themselves are stream beasts, who can transform between human and beast forms."
Yan Mo, who was looking around, pricked up his ears, "Really?"
"It's half-possible that my father saw a tribe of wildlings turn into beasts down the river when they fought the Moorgan."
Yan Mo was so excited that his heart trembled wildly, and his eyes on the people by the stream suddenly became extremely enthusiastic. Material, what a material!
Yuan Zhan held him back, brushed his fingers over his lips, and said in disgust, "Wipe the drool."
Yan Mo gave him a look of "I have nothing to say to a layman like you".
Tu Hou didn't know why this young man named Mo Da was so excited, he just thought he liked these weird legends, and he motioned Yan Mo to look at another booth, "Over there, do you see a real snake tribe! The man is handsome , the women are beautiful, with snake tails all over their lower body, they are the most mysterious and difficult tribe in this land, Mogan dare not offend them, some people say they come from Baixi City of the Three Cities."
Yan Mo took a deep breath, Bai Xi, it is said that Nu Wa created a life in her own image.
The people of the Snake Tribe don't seem to like to show their faces. They all stay in the dark tents, and only the slaves are busy outside.
Tuhou introduced the past all the way, Yan Mo was dazzled.
"The front is where our dirt cliff is. It happens to be empty next to it. You take it first. Last year we had the Yeqiu tribe on the right. They were a group of greedy bastards. We fought with them this year. They probably won't want to stay this year. next to us."
"Eh?" Yan Mo stopped in his tracks.
"What?" Yuan Zhan turned to look at him.
"Bamboo!?" Yan Mo almost rushed over.
It's a pity that the tribe didn't seem to use bamboo as a commodity, but as a material for building tents.
"What kind of bamboo?" Rabbit Roar also asked.
Yan Mo resisted the desire to rush over to inquire immediately, and said casually: "It's nothing, a plant, the juvenile body is delicious, but it's a pity that it doesn't grow much near our tribe."
Rabbit Hou, who has not yet established the concept of cultivating and nurturing plants, also found anything strange after hearing what Yan Mo said. The plants in their tribe are also naturally cultivated. If they grow less, they have to eat less, otherwise it is very likely will be cut off.
"If you like that thing, you can go and talk to them later. They are fisherwomen, and they have a kinder personality and are easier to talk to."
Yan Mo firmly held Yuan Zhan's hand, this market is the right one! Even finding only bamboo is a huge gain, not to mention there are still many things here that he hasn't looked at carefully.
