Chapter 53

The motorcade sleeps and sleeps in the morning and night. Unconsciously, it advances for another five days. By the evening of the fifth day, the outline of a big city gradually appeared in the sight.

Jingzhou City was originally a fortress built by the former dynasty to fight against the jingman tribe. It has a radius of 100 Li and a permanent force of hundreds of thousands. Yunmengze, 600 li away from Jingzhou City, is where jingman lives. It is crisscross with rivers and swamps, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the former dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops, it did not dare to march on and destroy it. But the tortoise shell and Pearl produced by jingman, As well as the valuable fishery products, they were welcomed by the upper class, so there were often merchants secretly travelling between the jingman tribe and the strong Qin Dynasty to trade. However, in the former Qin Dynasty, agriculture was emphasized and commerce was suppressed. Moreover, once caught, this kind of trade with hostile forces would be like cutting one's ears and cutting one's nose, hanging alive in the city tower. If the case was serious, it would be punished as a spy, and it would involve the three ethnic groups.

But later, with the increasing exorbitant taxes and levies, the common people were unable to make a living, and more and more people took risks. At one time, there were even such business groups falling grass in yunmengze and becoming bandits.

It's just that the price difference of a successful trade can sometimes reach a hundred times, so there has always been a saying in Jingzhou that "the head is not in the waist to do business".

Beidou star emperor knew that Jingzhou garrison had 300000 troops, so he chose to encircle but not attack. After a year of encirclement, he used a plan of estrangement to plot against the Deputy General of Jingzhou garrison envoy, and then he won.

Later, when the Beidou Dynasty defeated the Qin Dynasty, the jingman leader attached himself to the north because of the kindness of the Beidou star emperor, and granted Jingnan marquis to move to Tianjing. Since then, Jingzhou's military equipment has been reduced to 50000 standing army, and a general's office has been set up to suppress it. However, the trade with the jingman tribe in yunmengze has changed from private to public, and merchants have been coming from all over the world, After the clouds of wealth and wealth have gone away, Jingzhou City remains prosperous, beautiful as a dream, which has been delayed to this day.

Jingzhou City, as a military fortress of the former dynasty, had a wall several feet thick and a hundred feet high. In the Beidou Dynasty, although the garrison was reduced to 50000, it did not relax the repair of the city defense. At this time, the whole Jingzhou City was still heavily fortified. There was only a thick wooden plank on the moat. It's no wonder that Jingzhou was a place for military strategists.

Around the ancient city wall of Jingzhou, there are six gates. Each gate is equipped with an urn. If necessary, it can put the enemy into the urn to catch a turtle and kill the enemy.

Jingzhou east gate, also known as "Yinbin gate", is the gate to welcome guests and envoys. According to the organizational system, Jingzhou garrison envoy is the rank of general, but Beihou is the rank of marquis, and should be welcomed and treated by Jingzhou garrison envoy.

But Guan Haotian signaled the motorcade to enter Jingzhou City from the small east gate. Xiaodongmen is the entrance and exit of Pingtou people and vendors. At this time, yingbeihou's motorcade mixed with the crowd and entered Jingzhou City.

After entering the urban area, facing the small east gate is a busy street, with the shouting of merchants and shops on both sides. In the noise, there is a bit of happiness and harmony, as well as the unique local accent of Jingnan.

Gu fan can't help but lift the bamboo curtain in the carriage and look at it.

Li Xiaolang rode up and said, "little Marquis..."

"Call Gu fan..." Gu fan made a silent gesture. He didn't want to be known that he was coming. If Li Xiaolang's "Xiao Hou Ye" was heard by someone who wanted to destroy Guan Haotian's plan, it would be a great loss.

Li Xiaolang realized that he had let slip, so he quickly closed his mouth and said, "young master, this is your first time to Jingzhou." He then enthusiastically explained: "this small Dongmen street is one of the most prosperous markets in Jingzhou. Merchants from all over the world have semicolons here. As long as it's in Tianxuan, they can buy it here. And... "He pointed to the two-story lofts on both sides of the road, his eyes seemed to be fascinated, and said:" there are many red cards here, almost singing every night. It's also a land of gentleness and wealth. "

"What? Li Xiaolang, have you been there Gu fan was so bored in the car that he could not help making fun of his adjutant.

Li Xiaolang blushed and stammered: "no... no, I just came with my uncle. I heard what he said..."

Gu fan saw that there was an endless stream of people, one after another, and it was even more prosperous than the Tianjing City. This is not only a gentle and rich town, but also a golden cave! Gu Fan said to himself in his heart.

Fortunately, Jingzhou's streets are wide, and there are also many rich merchants' cars and horses, so such a motorcade is not so conspicuous. Out of Xiaodongmen street, the motorcade stopped in front of an inn. The knight dismounted and helped Guan Haotian and Gu fan out. Some soldiers had already entered the store and ordered two of the best ones to go to the room. They helped Guan Haotian and Gu fan carry their luggage in.

During the dinner, Guan Haotian orally informed everyone that he decided to have a three-day rest in Jingzhou City, and everyone could move freely.

These cavalry are very strict in the barracks, and they almost want to force them into monks. Now they are in the colorful world outside. Who doesn't want to go to the colorful world? But after all, they were the elite of Ying Beihou's confidants. Even though they were already happy, their faces were still so cold that they wanted to cry. They answered in unison: "yes, Lord!"

It's very funny to see these soldiers. Gu fan gave a sneer in his heart, and then tried his best to restrain it. He almost didn't laugh on the wine table.

In the middle of the banquet, Ying Beihou left his seat and motioned to others to continue, while he walked slowly upstairs with both hands on his back towards his upper room. Not long after he left the banquet, Gu fan made a detour to return to his room. Sitting cross legged in bed, he began to meditate. Sure enough, in Yingbei Hou's room, several extremely powerful sources of power appeared. Those people have a deep breath, obviously they are at least the experts of the star level“ Mr. Sima, thank you for your introduction. " Guan Haotian's voice said“ Keke... "This one is obviously Mr. Sima who contacted Guan Haotian in Shanglin“ This one is Meng Wuhen, the immortal master of Huimeng, this one is Xie Yuxiang, the white feather of Feitian, and this one is my master. Please... Cough, tell me about that thing with my master. "“ Well, it's like this... "One of them said," Lao Meng and I are two elders of the local Tianmen sect. The other day, we heard that yunmengze was expecting to have a talent and a treasure. So we led a group of disciples to yunmengze and searched along the Jingjiang River, Finally, on a sandbank at the junction of the Jingjiang River and the Hanshui River, I saw the colorful sky and earth symbolizing the natural resources and treasures...
