After the immortal disappeared

What Guide Liu meant by this was that he had completed the Haolin Society's commissions many times and had a good reputation.

Bai Ziqi nodded to the waiter, who handed Guide Liu a piece of silver: "As agreed, we will pay in installments. We will set off at sunrise tomorrow. Don't be late."

Guide Liu responded and asked, "How many of you are here? I can plan the carriage and the inn."

"More than thirty."

"That small inn can't accommodate you. If you want to be more comfortable, you have to hire four or five big cars." Guide Liu asked again, "Where do you plan to go next?"

"Shihoutou and Liuping."

"It will take five or six days."

The waiter immediately said: "Hurry up, can you think of anything?"

"Ah... I have to pay more to hire a carriage from Changlong Martial Arts."

"Changlong Martial Arts?"

"Changlong Martial Arts is run by the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce. It specializes in escorting and using strong force. In the past six months, it has plowed all the trade routes that Yangshan passes through. There used to be so many bandits along the way, but now they are dead and scattered. There are not many left. "Yes." Guide Liu said, "Their carriage is fast, I can rent it, but it is more expensive."

"Go ahead, money is no object."

Guide Liu saluted Bai Ziqi again: "The yellow croaker noodles in this inn are delicious. Mr. Bai can try it."

After he left, the waiter asked: "Master Du Shi, the battle between Shihoutou and Liuping has been going on for a long time, why do you still want to collect clues from these two places?"

"This is recognized as the place where Emperor Jiuyou made his debut. In the future, the more he commits crimes, the more sophisticated his techniques will become, but the first few times are the most rudimentary and easy to leave flaws." Bai Ziqi stretched out, "Go and give it to me Order a bowl of yellow croaker noodles.”

Guide Liu left the inn, first went to make arrangements for the carriage and horses for tomorrow's journey, and then went to a small stall to order a bowl of beans and noodles. He ate it while snoring, and then returned to Haolinhui.

According to regulations, after he reached an agreement with his employer, he had to go back to Haolin Club to register and submit basic information before he could go work for someone else.

Without this procedure, employers would not be at ease.

He was also very familiar with the Haolin Club. As long as he stood outside the cabinet and opened his mouth, the clerk in the cabinet would be able to write quickly.

"Where do you think those Bega people want to go?"

Those guests seemed to have eyes on the top of their heads, and everyone looked naturally arrogant. When asked by a clerk from Haolin Club earlier, the other party did not hesitate to admit it and said that he was a visitor from Bega.

"There are about thirty of them. I have just arranged a carriage for them to go on the road tomorrow. It is said that they have to go to Shihoutou and Liuping first, and there are other places to go later." Guide Liu laughed, "Their leader seems to be a high official. His clothes are of good quality, and the servants call him 'Bai Du Shi'."

"Are they those people staying at Xiangyang Inn?"

"Yep."

"Are you being generous?"

"It's quite generous. I paid 30% of the tolls and remuneration in advance." Thanks to the great improvement in the security of Julu Port and the commercial road, otherwise Bai Ziqi and his party would have been arrested before they even left Julu Port based on the way they dressed. Four or five groups of robbers targeted him.

Halfway through, gold and silver will be weighed on a big scale.

The guy put down his pen and said, "Okay, registration is complete. Have a nice trip tomorrow."

Guide Liu completed the registration and returned to his home.

The clerk put away the book and continued to handle other business.

Not long after, a man walked out of the back hall. He looked young but well-dressed, with a short scar on the left side of his face: "Where is my wine? It hasn't been delivered yet?"

When the waiter saw him, he respectfully shouted: "Master!"

This person is obviously Ahao.

When He Lingchuan left the ship and set foot in Julu Port for the first time, this guy wanted to steal Dong Rui's monkey, but was severely punished by the two of them. Later, it was a blessing in disguise that he followed the leader of the rebel party at that time and is now the king of Peng State. You Enguang is doing things around him.

During the coup in the country of Fan, You Enguang killed the old King Fan and came to power. Ahao couldn't adapt to the official style, so he returned to Julu Port and opened this Haolin Club.

The gangster of Julu Port in the past has turned into a businessman who takes both sides of the law.

At this time, another of Ah Hao's subordinates ran in and offered wine and meat enthusiastically: "Brother Hao, your honey wine is here."

"So slow!" Ahao took it and slapped him on the back of the head before taking it back to the back room to enjoy.

Soon after, it got dark.

The clerk pushed the notebook to the table and went home after work.

…

The next day, Bai Ziqi and his party left Julu Port and headed north.

After leaving the Pengguo border and heading east, you will find the direction to Shizhoutou.

Bai Ziqi revisited the old road and felt the huge changes in this trade route:

"There are really no bandits anymore."

The last time he came to Golden Plains, he was robbed just after leaving Julu Port.

Although the bandit died miserably in the end, his first impression of Flash Gold was also very bad.

This time it was different. After traveling for more than a hundred miles, the road was peaceful and uneventful. I only saw a few wild deer jumping around. However, Bai Ziqi soon saw dozens of long poles erected on the roadside, with human heads on the tops. The skin and flesh had long since withered, so it was almost enough to be called a skull.

As they approached, the crow on the pole flew away.

"What's this?"

"When Yang Shan first established Changlong Martial Arts, the trade route was not peaceful, so Changlong Martial Arts organized manpower to patrol and clean up. All the captured bandits were hung up." Guide Liu explained, "There are more poles like this later. It’s true that you can see everything as you go, but since then, there have been fewer robbers.”

The servant of the Tiangong Palace was curious: "How can Changlong Wuxing clean up the bandit troubles that cannot be eradicated in various countries?"

"Then I don't understand. But Changlong martial arts also spent a lot of effort in the early days. I often heard that they hide and seek and fight with bandits in the mountains, and they suffered a lot of losses."

However, the results are obvious. The bandits around these trade routes have been cleared away, and the transportation of goods by the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is quite safe. Of course, advocating good deeds not only benefits oneself, but also benefits the surrounding people and business travelers.

Business is obviously getting better.

"In the past six months, there have been very few wars nearby. Instead, Yang Shan's business brought him here and hired people everywhere." Guide Liu said with a smile, "Everyone has work to do, money to eat, and people who are engaged in the beheading business." That’s less.”

Bai Ziqi asked smoothly: "If you want to clear such a long trade road, there will be a lot of people traveling in Changlongwu, right?"

"There are so many of them, and they are all strong and strong." Guide Liu said, "To be honest, some of them are so reckless that they may have robbed on the roadside before joining the Changlong Martial Arts. It would be great to have a stable job. Why isn’t the income better than being a bandit?”

"Approximately how many people are there in Changlong Martial Arts in Julu Port?"

Guide Liu said casually: "I don't know the specifics, but the head office there must have at least more than 2,000 people, right?"

"Just the warrior responsible for escorting?"

"Yes. Counting the grooms, waiters, cooks, stewards, etc., there are nearly three thousand people."

"He Island Master's stall is very big." There are thousands of people in the martial arts headquarters alone.

This does not include the manpower of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce itself.

"Isn't that right?" Guide Liu was inexplicably proud, "Yangshan's business has gone to Yao Kingdom. Have you heard of Chigu horses? A few days ago, I saw dozens of Chigu horses boarding a ship in Julu Port. It’s going to the west.”

Bai Ziqi shook his head.

"That is the best horse in our Golden Plains. Only Yao Kingdom controls its production. Yangshan can buy it from Yao Kingdom. Such exclusive commercial goods are only open to Yangshan." Director Liu smiled. He said, "If it weren't for Yao Country's commercial goods to be transported one after another, Julu Port would not be as prosperous."

"It seems that the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce can also enjoy the entire Golden Flash Plains?"

"If you can do such a big business in Yao Kingdom, how can you do well in the Golden Flash Plains?" Guide Liu asked, "The relationship between He Island Master and the Allied Forces in the central part is also good. In a war zone that others cannot enter, Yang Shan can move freely. "

Bai Ziqi let out a long sigh: "It's such a big deal. How big is a big chamber of commerce like this in Golden Gold Plains?"

"Oh, quite a few, there are more than a dozen, medium-sized ones like Luanji Trading Company, Baishui Chamber of Commerce, Bilixuan, and super-large ones like Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, Deyou Trading Company, Qixinzhai, etc." Guide Liu introduced, " In particular, these leading business houses have good relations with various places and can gain success everywhere. However, the largest chambers of commerce are basically from the Yao Kingdom. For example, Qixinzhai was opened by the Qi family of the Yao Kingdom and was killed by Emperor Jiuyou some time ago. The Qi family lost its leader; Deyou Trading Company is the largest trading company in Yao Kingdom and is closely related to the royal court of Yao Kingdom. This is no secret. "

"I see."

Ahead is Guancheng.

Julu Port is a free port. After walking through a long trade road and passing through Guancheng, it officially entered the border of Peng Kingdom.

This territorial division is the same as that of Laofeng State and has not changed.

Guancheng is also the same as Bai Ziqi remembered, gray and plain, with thick walls.

After entering the city, Guide Liu turned back and pointed at the city wall and said, "Nangong Yan, the chief steward of Yuwei of the Kingdom of Wei, and dozens of his men were hung here and their bodies exposed for three days."

This was news. Bai Ziqi asked smoothly: "Oh? Who did it?"

"I don't know." Guide Liu said with a smile, "I asked the city gate guards, and they said that Nangong Yan led people to rush out from here the evening before. He was very aggressive and told them to close the city immediately and not let outsiders in."

"Unexpectedly, they themselves were hung up on the wall early the next morning."

Everyone laughed, as expected of the Golden Plains, even the high-ranking ministers died in mysterious circumstances.

They didn't stay in Pengguo for too long, and then went east to Shizhoutou.

This is a typical small town on the Golden Plains, with a lot of people and shabby houses, but the city walls are tall and large, and there are still traces of the war.

Bai Ziqi and his party had just entered the city when they saw a large wooden pillar standing behind the city gate, about the width of two people's arms. The pillar head was painted black and carved to look like a dragon's head.

The carving is average, rough and a little ugly.

But the shape of the dragon's horns is correct.

There are two altar tables side by side in front of the pillars, one tall and one short. There are a lot of fruits, incense candles, and lacquerware. There is almost no free space on the table, especially the mountains of fruits.

The fruits are green or yellow, large or small, and they look like they were picked from the mountains.

There are also paper and gold piles on the altar table, thick piles upon piles. The two tables can hardly be placed, and there is a large stove next to it.
