After not seeing him for a year, the "Black Bear" still has an impression on Shao Xuan. What's more, Mao Da had sent someone to enter the city first and reported the situation of the caravan to the "Black Bear" in advance.
"Haha, long time no see, Brother Shao Xuan." "Black Bear" strode over and patted Shao Xuan's shoulder vigorously with his fan-like palm.
If it were an ordinary person, under such palm force, the bones would be shattered, and even if they could hold on, they would tremble.
Shao Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he returned it with the same courtesy.
Being slapped by Shao Xuan a few times, the "Black Bear" froze on his face, but he recovered quickly, but he no longer continued to express his "enthusiasm", and took Shao Xuan and Guangyi into the house and asked someone to give him Arrange the room. There are a lot of people who come and go in their caravan, and there are special empty rooms.
Mao Da explained Shao Xuan's purpose of coming to Wangcheng to "Black Bear".
"Are you looking for 'Jingu' Jiju?" "Black Bear" thought for a while and said, "Jingu Jiju has not appeared in the royal city for a long time, but according to the information I know, it seems that Jingu Jiju is planting again. What a good thing, and it took a lot of effort. From last year to now, he has stayed in his own village outside the city, and few people can see him. Shao Xuan, you want to find Jiju, I am afraid it will be difficult. "
"Always try." Shao Xuan said. On the road these days, he has already learned a lot about the old man Jiju from the Maoda brothers. Before, he only knew that Jiju was related to the Wangcheng, and his status was not low. Now it seems that he underestimated the old man.
However, thinking of the thousand grains of gold with him, the plan to go to Jiju will not change.
Seeing that Shao Xuan had made up his mind, "Black Bear" no longer persuaded him. Like the Mao Da brothers, he thought that if Shao Xuan could really catch up on the line of Jingu Jiju, they could also have some soup along with them. Things are not easy to get, there is no way to get it right.
After thinking for a while, "Black Bear" said, "Well then, I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will take you to try your luck in the village of Jiju outside the city, and see if you can meet his people."
"Thank you in advance."
"Haha, you're welcome, if you can really see Jiju, I'd like to thank you, old black!" "Black Bear" asked someone to prepare food, and called someone to inquire about Jiju's latest news.
The next day, "Black Bear" took Shao Xuan and Guangyi out of the city.
A six or seven-meter-high mammoth walked slowly in the city on stone pillar-like legs. The elephant's legs stomped on the ground and made a sound, and the dust on the ground was shaken. When they passed by Shao Xuan and the others, a cloud of dust was raised.
Such giant beasts are not uncommon in the city, and the people in the royal city do not find it unusual, and they do not look at them more often.
Although the king 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 people who are more delicately dressed sitting on beast carts, which is a treatment that only nobles have. Others were not allowed to ride in animal carts in the city. Even giant beasts carrying goods by caravans were not allowed to sit on them. This was the rule of the royal city.
Because Shao Xuan came to Wangcheng for the first time, it was too late when he entered the city yesterday, and Mao Da didn't tell Shao Xuan much. Now "Black Bear" briefly explained the situation of Wangcheng to Shao Xuan and Guangyi.
Shao Xuan listened to the tone of "Black Bear", although there are many rules here, but the caravan leaders like "Black Bear" are not afraid of those nobles, nor do they think they are inferior to them. Speaking of those nobles who raised their chins in the city When he was with the disciples, there was obvious disdain in "Black Bear"'s tone.
The royal city is very lively, the voices of people and the roars of beasts are 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 the little finger. It looks very similar to the leaves of a thousand grains of gold. "Golden Leaf".
Not seeing much in the city, "Black Bear" directly took Shao Xuan and the two out of the city, passing through a ten-meter-wide dirt road on the left side of the city gate.
"Jiju's Zhuangzi is in that direction. I used to go there with the previous leader, but unfortunately I couldn't see Jiju's people." As they walked there, "Black Bear" told Shao Xuan about the past. experience.
"At that time, the name of Jingu was already known by many tribes, and even some tribes far away had heard of Jingu Jiju. Every year, many people from tribes came to the king's city because of the fact that they could not see any other people in the king's city. The golden millet produced in Jiju, so many people went to the village of Jiju to block people, but who knows, they were all blocked outside the village and could not even enter the door."
"Black Bear" said so much, and it also made Shao Xuan feel prepared. If he couldn't see Jiju, he didn't need to be discouraged, everyone was like this.
According to "Black Bear", the name of Jin Gu Ji Ju is very useful, even if it is a weed that came out of Jin Gu Ji's home, some people are willing to pay a high price to buy it.
There are still people who play pirated copies far away from the king city, claiming to be produced in the "Golden Valley" outside the king city, and selling them at high prices, many people go to trade. But in fact, Jiju's things here have always been in short supply. Even if you travel thousands of miles to Wangcheng, you may not be able to buy them.
Along the way, the "black bear" also told Shao Xuan about the places it passed, which piece of land belonged to, and how many slaves were there. Generally speaking, the bigger 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, just look at the land to get a general impression.
There are some tall fence posts around the land to block those who want to enter. As for the fence posts, from the gaps between the wood posts, you can vaguely see large and small scattered wooden houses around the land. Those are all taking care of the fields. slave.
"These are owned by some idle nobles, and passed on from generation to generation. If they have the ability, the land they can get will also expand. Over there, when I came here two years ago, I heard that the slave owner of that land had committed a crime and was reclaimed the land, and now the owner there has been replaced."
As they were talking, the three suddenly heard the sound of wheels coming from far to near behind them.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of your way!" someone yelled.
Originally, the three of Shao Xuan planned to get out of the way, but when they heard this, they didn't move, and turned to look.
It was a cart drawn by two horses. The two horses that pulled the cart had a three-meter-high back, brown fur, a large sharp horn on the head, and horses’ hooves like pots. When they stepped on the ground, they could hear the ground. The sound of stones being crushed. The car was covered with a fine silk cloth, and there were patterns on the cloth. Shao Xuan also knew that pattern. It was the tribal pattern of the Ji family of the royal family, and it was also the pattern of the Ji clan today.
When people in Wangcheng see such a clan pattern, most of them will spontaneously give way, but some will not.
"Black Bear" didn't want to cause trouble, so he just let it go, but when someone yelled "go away", he was not happy.
Although the road was not smooth, the horse's hoof didn't mean to slow down, it stepped on the ground and rushed forward.
There were also eight guards following the carriage, and those guards knew "Black Bear". Seeing this, they couldn't help but secretly say "bad" in their hearts.
Seeing that the carriage was getting closer, Shao Xuan and the three who were blocking the road did not let go. The driver of the carriage flashed a haze in his eyes, waving a long whip, urging the horse pulling the carriage to ram it directly.
Seeing this, the guards who were running next to him scolded the idiot who was driving the car a thousand times, but it was too late to stop him now.
These two horses were not new horses that had just pulled the cart. This happened a lot, so after the whip, the hooves moved more vigorously, and the horse's head drooped so that the sharp horns on the head were facing forward.
Seeing this, "Black Bear" snorted mockingly, instead of retreating, he advanced, took a big step in the direction of the carriage, and grabbed a large copper knife with two palms wide and more than one meter long on his back.
The generous big copper knife blooms with an undisguised aggression, with wild wildness and stern murderous aura.
"Black Bear" grabbed the big copper knife, and between swinging arms, the blade drew a cold light in the air, like the sharp claws of a beast stabbing.
Bang!
The ground in front of the black bear was easily smashed with a half-meter wide opening, and the violent air spread out to the surroundings along with the scattered dust. turned into smoke.
Even if it is just a clod, 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 torrential rain of clods. They probably felt their irresistible suffocating aura from the black bear, and they stopped decisively.
The horse suddenly came to an emergency stop, and the person sitting in the carriage almost fell out of it.
The curtain of the carriage moved between Shao Xuan, and a coquettish murmur came from inside: "What happened!"
With these words with a strong sense of rebuke, the curtain was pulled open, 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 of Shao Xuan, and said sharply: "What a courage!"
"Black Bear" blew the dust on the blowing knife and laughed angrily when he heard this. He never took the initiative to offend people, but only if the other party did not take the initiative to offend him, the leader of the dignified black bear caravan, the leader of the tribe, was yelled at "Go away," if he backed down now, who would look down on the "Black Bear" caravan in the future? Face is given to each other, if you don't give me face, why should I give you face
Six royal families? Not even the royal family! Slip of the tongue? Mistakes still don't work! How dare you? I have always been brave!
The black bear did not mean to retreat at all, and still stood there firmly.
The guards around the young woman wanted to say something several times, but there was no reason for them to interrupt. Besides, according to the master's temperament, she wouldn't listen.
