Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu chose to camp in the wild instead of rushing to the next town, not because they couldn't bear the hardship and didn't want to hurry, nor did they deliberately oppose the people of the mission, they refused to go to the next town, it was not the next town. peace.
Xiao Tianyao had previously sent in the name of suppressing bandits, and stopped the imperial mission for dozens of days, but there were also many bandits along the way.
Although that person Liu Bai is sometimes out of his mind, he has always been able to execute Xiao Tianyao's orders.
Along the way, Liu Bai destroyed countless bandit dens, big and small, and really did a real thing for the people. But…
Liu Bai took the regular army to suppress the bandits all the way, but suffered hardship in the next town. If he hadn't run fast, he would have almost been planted there.
The town where the imperial mission and the little prince rushed to is indeed not far from them, and the environment is also very good, but that town is not a good place for outsiders.
That town is called Stone Town. As the name suggests, the town is rich in stones. To be precise, the town is not rich in stones, but has nothing but stones.
The town is full of stones, and the ground is full of stones. There is no place to grow food. The people in the town can only rely on those stones to eat, but those stones are not worth much.
In the early years, the surrounding towns needed to buy stones to build roads and build houses. The people in the towns could still earn some hard money by selling and hitting stones. However, as the surrounding towns and villages were built, There is no market for the stones in Stone Town.
Stones are available in most places. People from nearby towns and villages choose to buy stones from Stone Town, one because they are cheap, and the other because they are close.
For towns and villages that are far away, most people would rather choose to use other alternatives, and would not go to Shishi Town to drag the stones, because the toll may be more expensive than the stones.
The stones in Stone Town are ordinary and have no special features. The rich people dislike it. Most people are reluctant to spend a lot of money to transport stones from Stone Town, so no one wants the stones in Stone Town.
The stones can’t be sold, the crops can’t be grown in the fields, and the people in the town have no way to survive. What should I do
In order to survive, the townspeople had to rob passers-by.
Stone Town is not the only way to get in and out of the capital, but it is also a main road. People who enter Beijing from the south have to walk from Stone Town to save two days. Many people who do not know will be planted in Stone Town.
With supplies from passers-by from time to time, the people of Stone Town have survived tenaciously, and the days are getting better.
After several years of development, the people of Stone Town are all bandits, and even children who are just walking know how to help adults to trick passers-by.
The people of Stone Town are united. Although the local officials are determined to govern, they can face a stone city and the people in the town who will starve to death if they are not moved. They can only turn a blind eye to the behavior of the people in Stone Town one eye.
Fortunately, the people of Stone Town have robbed passers-by all these years, but they still have principles. Usually, they only need money and goods, and they never take human life.
In the face of strong resistance, people in Stone Town will also kill people. After all, you can't expect a group of robbers to talk to you about principles and kindness all year round.
People in Stone Town are so rampant. In recent years, many people have gone to the government to file a complaint, and the government has also sent troops, but once they entered Stone Town, they were wilted. No one could use force in Stone Town, but they would be fine as soon as they came out of Stone Town.
The government sent troops into the town several times and they all returned in vain, and it was even rumored that there was a god in Stone Town, which made the government even more concerned.
People passing by are only considered unlucky. After all, the place in Stone Town is really evil. They can be sure that there is no traditional Chinese medicine.
The imperial embassy and his party, all dressed in brocade clothes and tall horses, looked like fat sheep. When they arrived in Stone Town, the people in the town would never let them go.
"There are many experts in the mission, and they may not be recruited." Knowing the situation in Stone Town, Lin Chujiu was not very worried about them.
There is no shortage of experts among the people in the mission, and there are people from Tianzang Yingyue who protect them in secret. People from Stone Town may not be able to take advantage of them when they face them.
"Stone Town is not as simple as you and I think. Liu Bai brought a thousand elites at the time, and he almost fell into Stone Town." Xiao Tianyao admitted that Wu Sheng was very powerful, but his Jin Wuwei was not weak.
Even Jinwuwei, who has thousands of people, has no way to seek benefits in Stone Town, and the people of the imperial mission will definitely fall.
"Is there something in Stone Town that we don't know about?" This is the only thing Lin Chujiu can guess, otherwise how could a group of rabble take advantage of Wu Sheng's hands.
"Yeah." Xiao Tianyao nodded and said, "According to the news from Liubaicha, there is a special kind of stone in Stone Town, which is colorless and odorless, but if you touch it, your whole body will feel weak and weak, and the effect is comparable to the strongest soft muscle powder. ."
"The most terrifying thing is that the stone has no effect on the people in Stone Town, and only outsiders will be recruited. And Stone Town is full of stone buildings, chairs, stools, beds are all stone, you have no idea why you are The tricks in the middle, the tricks in where you find out, have become the lambs to be slaughtered."
The lethality of that kind of strange stone is too great, no matter how many people, as long as they enter Stone Town, they will lose their combat effectiveness until they leave Stone Town.
"That's quite interesting. If you have a chance, get a piece and have a look." As a doctor, Lin Chujiu is not a research madman, but he is quite interested in this kind of stone with special effects.
"If it can resist the strength of Wu Sheng, it is indeed worth our time to explore Shitouzhen." Xiao Tianyao admitted that he did it on purpose, deliberately not explaining the situation of Baishitouzhen, and asked the little prince of the empire to lead people to explore the way.
"It's so insidious, you!" Lin Chujiu didn't know Xiao Tianyao well after being together for so long. Seeing Xiao Tianyao's expression, she knew what Xiao Tianyao was thinking.
"This king reminded them that they didn't listen to people's persuasion." Xiao Tianyao didn't feel that what he did was unkind.
If you don't want to listen to people's persuasion, you have to suffer a bit.
The people from the imperial mission did not listen to Xiao Tianyao's persuasion and took the little prince to Stone Town.
One step into Stone Town, they saw the clean and tidy streets and the peaceful and prosperous people on the streets. The imperial delegation was very satisfied. They immediately asked passers-by and found the best inn in the town to stay in.
The people from the imperial embassy were not short of money, and they packed the entire inn as soon as they entered. After a delicious meal, everyone went to rest, leaving only four people on duty, completely ignoring that there were very few outsiders in the town.
At the moment before going to bed, the people in the mission were still scolding Xiao Tianyao and his party for not knowing how to enjoy themselves, and they deserved to feed the bugs in the wild. Fortunately, they came to the town after listening to the words of His Highness, otherwise they might not know how to live tonight.
But…
They were not happy for long!
