The sky is dim,
Zhang Yang jumped out of the small courtyard yesterday, and he had already retrieved the long knife and the animal skin package.
This night was not easy for him, because he had been listening to someone in the corner all night.
Of course, it's not that kind of corner, but he is collecting the pronunciation of local people's words and the information revealed by their speech.
So in one night, he changed twenty-eight roles. With the help of A-extraordinary soul strength, he basically mastered the local dialect and also figured out the background of this world.
This world is called the Wei Dynasty, and its culture is similar to ancient Eastern civilization, with a centralized system, but there are still powerful families and aristocratic families.
The mirage clan is confronting the Wei Dynasty.
Zhang Yang didn't know what the mirage tribe was specifically, but it seemed that these mirage tribes were not visitors from outside the world, but crawled out of the sea in the east, and had been fighting against the Wei Dynasty for almost a thousand years.
The Wei Dynasty was at a disadvantage in this war because at least one-third of its territory was occupied by the Mirage tribe.
This kind of long-term war also forced the royal family and the upper class of the Wei Dynasty not to sing and dance, and to live and die in drunken dreams. Therefore, the Wei Dynasty has indeed produced many amazing talents over the past thousand years, and finally built the Three Thousand Miles of Great Wall along the Tianliang Mountain line. Relying on this Great Wall, they fought fiercely with the Mirage tribe day and night.
The town where Zhang Yang is now is a military institution built on the Tianliang Great Wall. It was originally a transportation center for military supplies and weapons, but after hundreds of years, it became a small town. Many descendants of soldiers live here. It's not very safe, and the days are full of suspicion and tension, but there are no other disadvantages.
The last place Zhang Yang listened to was the small courtyard where he hid his weapons. He originally wanted to take the weapons here, but he overheard the conversation between the couple.
It was already close to midnight, and the couple still did not sleep peacefully. Instead, they frowned, sighed, and said some unclear words.
If Zhang Yang hadn't already had a certain understanding of this world and this small town of Tianliang, he might have been in a state of confusion.
So after reading a few words from the host and hostess, he judged the general outline of the matter.
First of all, the male protagonist is a transshipment grain merchant, not a big-time wealthy grain merchant. Due to the pressure of the mirage clan, in the Wei Dynasty, from the emperor to the prince, from the civil servants to the generals, and then to the local officials, there was very little corruption and incompetence. Yes, because the incompetent people would have died a long time ago. Those who took bribes and perverted the law, which resulted in the unfavorable outcome of the army going into battle, were all about destroying the Nine Tribes. No, all the Nine Tribes had to go to the Great Wall to fight with the Mirage Tribe.
Therefore, there is no collusion between officials and businessmen. The male owner, a grain transshipment merchant, has obtained the right to transport military grain to the Great Wall defense line. He pays fifteen oxcarts a month, and the rest can be sold to others.
Although this kind of business cannot make you rich, it is completely fine for a well-off family.
But yesterday, a group of mirage demon soldiers somehow crossed the Great Wall defense line and massacred two nearby villages. Although the Demon Killing Division guarding here quickly attacked, they still failed to wipe out all the mirage demon soldiers. This can't help but make people feel sad. Panic, especially tomorrow is the day to transport military supplies to the Great Wall defense line. How can this not make the male owner worried
In the end, the hostess persuaded the male host to take some gold and silver tomorrow and go to the Demon Slaying Department to ask a strongman to protect him. Although gold and silver are good, how can we enjoy them if we lose our lives
So the man of the house obeyed his advice.
It was after hearing this that Zhang Yang made a decision. He wanted to pretend to be a warrior from the Demon Slaying Division. Well, this idea was a bit bold. In this place where the organization is tight, the people are vigilant, and the government is powerful, he wanted to pretend to be a warrior. For a government official, that is almost impossible.
But as the saying goes, know yourself and know the enemy. Zhang Yang knew it well after eavesdropping on the wall last night.
First of all, this small town of Tianliang has two local authorities, civil and military. The civil one is the Anmin Division, from the ninth rank, and the military one is the Demon Killing Division, from the ninth rank.
As for the strongmen, they are the black-armored soldiers that Zhang Yang saw yesterday. They belong to the subordinates of the Demon Killing Division. They are not many in number, only a few dozen people. Their daily task is to track down the mirage demon soldiers that have sneaked in, so Your status here is very noble, so you won't naturally do work like guarding and patrolling.
Moreover, in the past two days, the mirage demon soldiers have infiltrated, and many magic-killing warriors have been out hunting. The number of warriors in this town is very small.
As long as Zhang Yang puts on a set of black armor of a magic slayer, puts on a long sword exclusive to the magic slayer, and designs it a little bit, it shouldn't be a problem.
He had obtained four sets of armor before, but he kept one of the armors that was very complete and fit his body shape. The rest were melted by him and used to temper the armor-breaking awl.
"Squeak!"
The courtyard door opened, and the male owner, who had been awake almost all night, walked out haggardly, because he had to transport military rations today, so he naturally had to get up before dawn.
At this time, Zhang Yang, who was hiding on the street corner, followed him secretly.
Along the way, the male host encountered three waves of guards patrolling the streets. This shows how strict the security here is. Duan Kuan and others were arrested as Northland fugitives.
Yes, the Wei Dynasty implemented a very strict road guide system due to the pressure of war. Therefore, any stranger with a wrong accent who cannot show the road guide will definitely be arrested and will not be able to tell anyone for three days. Chou Yinmao will be sent to the Death Soldier Camp on the Great Wall defense line. Only by killing 10 mirage demon soldiers will he be given a legal identity again.
I followed the male owner all the way to his grain store, where a man had already loaded a cart with grain and was just waiting to set off.
"about there."
Zhang Yang quickly put on the armor and helmet of a magic slayer in a hidden alley, and walked quickly from a street to the north. Sure enough, the waiters, including the male host, bowed their heads and saluted from a distance, very afraid of the respectful ones. look.
Zhang Yang ignored them and walked straight past. When he heard the people sighing in relief, he suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something.
"Who's the shopkeeper?"
"Yes, this is my Excellency, Sun Wencai. What are your orders?"
The male host raised his breath in his throat and trotted over.
Zhang Yang glanced at him for a few times, making this guy go crazy. Then he took out a few pieces of broken silver and threw it over, "I have something important to do. I need to temporarily recruit one of your bullock carts."
"Ah?" Sun Wencai was stunned, but he had no doubts. Because the government was incorruptible and the pressure was high, although these magic-killing warriors killed people without batting an eye, they would not bully the people for no reason and use a few pieces of silver to command oxcarts. , which is certainly enough.
As for what this magic-killing warrior is going to do with the oxcarts, you are just kidding, you are just a humble citizen, do you need to know
At this time, it depends on how flexible the merchant's mind is. Then Sun Wencai hesitated twice and then said cautiously: "My lord, I know this, this shop specializes in transporting grain. Today is the day to transport grain and grass to the Great Wall defense line." , there are really no extra bullock carts left.”
"Are you going to transport military rations? In that case, of course the military rations should be put first, and I'll find an ox cart." Zhang Yang seemed to be preoccupied, as if he had just discovered this matter. After all, the genius was just starting to shine at this moment, and it was also a little slow. normal.
"Sir, wait a minute, I'll be bold. If you're on the same road with me, it doesn't matter if there's an ox cart." Sun Wencai said hurriedly. Zhang Yang could hear his heartbeat speeding up. He was really a qualified businessman, no. Miss any favorable opportunities.
"I did go near the Great Wall's defense line, but that's inappropriate, or do you want to harm yourself? Military food transportation is a major issue related to the Great Wall's defense line."
Zhang Yang was a little unhappy.
"The villain dare not."
Sun Wencai suddenly stepped forward, stuffed a small cloth bag into Zhang Yang at lightning speed, and then pretended that nothing happened and said in a low voice, "Sir, this journey is not peaceful, I hope you can help take care of it."
Zhang Yang hesitated and looked left and right. Well, there was no one else on the street except these people, so he accepted the bag without hesitation, but he still looked upright.
"Isn't this appropriate? I have a mission. If others find out—"
"Don't worry, sir, I will take care of this matter." Sun Wencai knew the elegant meaning of the song and understood it instantly.
Zhang Yang hesitated deliberately, and finally said:
"In this case, I can only send you near the defense line. If you encounter interrogation, remember what to say."
"No problem, sir. I am very familiar with Mr. Dou, the manager over there. I will never embarrass you, sir." Sun Wencai was extremely excited. It went so smoothly.
"Then sir, shall we set off immediately?"
"Of course, I have important things to do, so of course it's best to get going as soon as possible."
Soon, the convoy set off. The street guards along the way did not stop them at all. Sun Wencai greeted them happily. Zhang Yang sat on the last cart and took a nap. They left Tianliang Town without any hindrance. No one was there. Have any doubts.
That is to say, shortly after leaving Tianliang Town, Zhang Yang saw information reflected in his eyes.
"Trigger a hidden mission, escort military rations, mission difficulty is three stars."
"Explanation, there will be no clear main missions in the extraordinary trial, but as long as the missions discovered are hidden missions."
"Basic mission reward: 5 gold (the currency of this world, which cannot be taken out of this world, but can be used to purchase materials in this world)."
"Basic mission reward: 50 points of Wei's reputation."
"Additional mission reward: legal identity."
"Mission kill reward: During this mission, for every mirage demon soldier killed, the basic reward will increase by 5%."
—
"This mission reward is very interesting, but what does three-star difficulty mean? There will never be a magic soldier with strength comparable to a three-star hero. If this is the case-"
Zhang Yang thought about it and took out an armor-piercing awl from the animal skin package behind him.
Yesterday, he was in a hurry in the valley, so the effect of tempering and casting was not very good. The quality was not even up to the low-grade magic weapon, so he had to take advantage of the moment to continue the tempering and tempering, and enchant it with the confinement spell. The next step was to The battle is very important.
