Peerless Tang Sect: Expelled from Shrek Academy at the beginning

Chapter 33 Star Luo Western Star Collar

The journey was very long. The group set off from the Star Dou Great Forest and stayed in Star Luo City for a few days before setting off again to the west.

Walking towards the west from Star Luo City, one can see that the surrounding population is becoming less and less dense.

Since the plate collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent in the west, the population in the west of the Star Luo Empire has gradually moved eastward. This is not because the land in the west is not suitable for farming. On the contrary, after the crustal movement, more people appeared here. Fertile land, and a large number of rare veins.

It's all because of war. War can destroy a region more than nature. Years of war has caused many people to choose to leave this land where they have lived for generations.When the outline of the Mingdou Mountain Range could be vaguely seen, Dai Huabin also arrived at the destination of this trip, the Star Collar.

Star Collar is named after a star once fell here. There is a city that can accommodate millions of people, and it also has hundreds of villages and towns, large or small.On the western border, this is already considered a big city.

It's just that the population of Xingchen collar, which is becoming increasingly depressed, now has a combined population of only 30 million in the city and the village.

The previous Viscount died in the assassination of a spy. Although no force was responsible for the incident, everyone knew that it must be the work of the Sun Moon Empire.In the past hundred years alone, five viscounts were assassinated and three viscounts were killed by thieves in major cities in the west.

The nobles of Xingluo would rather be lords in some small cities in the east than come to the big cities in the west. Logically speaking, the scope and resources of the Stardom are more than enough for an earl.However, the constant danger here made the nobles have to stay away.

When Dai Huabin offered to be enshrined at this time, the nobles in the country felt that Dai Huabin was young and frivolous, and did not know the heights of heaven and earth.

The city of Starland is called Jiangyang City. The Mingdou River that runs through the west of Xingluo originates from the Mingdou Mountains, and the first city it flows through is Jiangyang City.

Jiangyang City also has the westernmost port of the empire, and it is this port that can maintain the existence of more than [-] people in the Star Territory.

Dai Huabin, who has learned all kinds of knowledge since he was a child, understands the importance of Star Territory better than many people. He didn't choose this place simply to stay away from the control of the imperial capital.What is hell to others is paradise and opportunity to him.

Dai Huabin didn't bring many people with him on this trip, only Zhu Lu, Lu Ying, Tang Ya, Wang Yan; and the protector that Duke Baihu personally invited for Dai Huabin, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu.

As a result, Tiansha Douluo no longer held the position of enshrined in the royal family. When Dai Huabin saw Tiansha Douluo coming, he was a little confused. He was able to escort him to Shrek Academy before, because of love and nothing else.

But now that he is able to protect himself from the royal family, the meaning is quite different. This is undoubtedly a kind of contempt for the majesty of the royal family. The amazing thing is that Xu Jiawei didn't say anything, just let Huang Jinxu go, which is a bit intriguing .

In addition, there is also Liu Quan, the steward who has been prepared for him long ago. This time Liu Quan can be dispatched abroad, and he could have become the steward of the Viscount Land, but Wang Yan who turned out made him look very embarrassed and changed. became a vice.

Liu Quan didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, but instead served Dai Huabin wholeheartedly. As a steward carefully cultivated by the Dai family, loyalty is the most basic thing.

There is also a squadron of soul masters composed of three-ring soul masters, with a total of 30 people. The leader is given the surname Dai, named Dai Li.

Dai Li used to be a personal guard of the white tiger. He was expelled from the army for violating military orders and became a private soldier of the Duke's mansion.

With the support of the Duke's Mansion, he successfully broke through to Soul Emperor in his 40s, and following Dai Huabin this time means that he is now Dai Huabin's person.

Dai Li, who was expelled from the army because of a fight, was convinced of this young man who was also known as the God of War like the Duke.

The upper reaches of the Mingdou River, which was only 200 meters wide, suddenly widened to [-] meters in Jiangyang City.

Before the Sun Moon Continent hit, this was the coastal area, and the shipbuilding industry was very developed. Many of the cargo ships sailing on the Mingdou River are river ships developed on the basis of sea ships thousands of years ago.

Most of the business travelers coming and going with twice as many guards as in the east, there are opportunities here, but more dangers.

The soul beasts don't live in one place like the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. The soul beasts in the west are all kinds of groups that fill up everywhere.

Not only spirit beasts, bandits and horse thieves also often plundered passing caravans, because the little offerings in the village could not satisfy their luxury enjoyment.

Fortunately, the vicinity of Jiangyang City is still in good shape. The road is paved with hard stone slabs, and there are no weeds on the road, only horse manure.

Teams with goods or carriages can only enter and exit through the east gate, and the rest can enter and exit through the north and south gates. The west gate is closed for many years. Once opened, the war will start.

Dai Huabin and his group were no different from ordinary caravans, except that there were less goods and more guards.

As a personal guard directly under Dai Huabin, this team of personal guards did not have custom-made armor, but only wore ordinary light armor commonly seen on the market.

There were no noble marks on the carriage, which meant that Dai Huabin and his party would only be treated as ordinary caravans.

The appointment of the empire had already been issued to the Star Land after winning the championship. Dai Huabin wanted to see what kind of surprises the Star City Land, which had not had a lord to take office two months after the appointment, would bring him.

The only caravan left in the front walked into the city swaggeringly carrying the goods of a dozen black one-horned horses. They did not pay any taxes, and no guards inspected their goods.

"What to look at, it's up to you." The guards in front looked at the unfamiliar Dai Huabin and his party, and immediately surrounded them.

Liu Quan naturally went up to deal with this situation, "Masters, we didn't bring any goods, and we just came from the east to do business here."

"I didn't bring the goods, what business are you doing? I've seen a lot of you profiteers, so hurry up and pay the tax. Five carriages, one carriage will charge you twenty gold soul coins, a total of one hundred gold soul coins." Take out a hand, as if you can't progress without giving the golden soul coin.

"Master, isn't our Star Luo Empire taxing according to the value of the goods? I've never heard of taxing according to the number of carriages. Besides, even if this carriage is loaded with goods in short supply, it's not limited to collecting goods. The tax of twenty gold soul coins. Is it a miscalculation?"

"Okay, then I'll do the math with you. Brothers, teach them the rules of Jiangyang City."

The nearby caravan waiting to enter and leave the city gate sighed and mourned for the new caravan in their hearts.

The soldiers at the gate of the city quickly surrounded the convoy, and the crossbow on the top of the city was aimed at Dai Huabin and others.

A middle-aged man with disheveled clothes and a big gold chain around his neck jumped down from the top of the city. The guards applauded his special appearance.

I saw the man with his clothes open, revealing several layers of fat belly, and the gold necklace was like a piece of meat embedded in his neck, making people worry that he might be strangled, and the smell of alcohol all over the city gate Everyone can smell it.
