The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 261 Gradually overlapping lines

  Zhao Changhe directly took out an ingot of silver and put it on the table.

Sanniang put the silver into her arms with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that special. They sell food here regularly, and after they sell it, they transport the Western Region jewelry and the like back to sell. After many years, I'm afraid it will be profitable." earned a lot."

  Zhao Changhe said speechlessly: "I can see this even if you don't tell me."

   "Then what do you want to know?"

   "Their strength, the forces that are fixed and docked here, and the relationship network in the Central Plains—if you know it."

   Sanniang laughed dumbfounded: "Hello, are you from Daxia Town Magic?"

  Zhao Changhe has no expression on his face: "If I want to uproot them and wipe them out, of course I need to know the news. What does it have to do with Zhenmasi?"

  San Niang knocked on the table with a smile: "You ask me, who do I ask? I am an inn owner."

  Zhao Changhe looked at the rhythm of her knocking on the table, and smiled slightly: "Then don't bother."

   Sanniang glanced at him with great interest, and then retreated with a smile.

  It was already dark after dinner, but the market was full of lights. Standing at the window of the guest room and looking out, it seemed that the lights of thousands of houses stretched for hundreds of miles.

  This is not an exaggerated description, it may be an underestimate.

  The market itself is very big, there are countless caravans stationed in camps around the periphery, all of them are moving out to buy goods, the torches are hunting, and there is a lot of people's voices, which can be faintly heard in the market from far away.

  Zhao Changhe looked away from the flames of the camp in the distance, and landed on the street outside the inn.

  The two Qiao family businessmen, one had his teeth knocked out, and the other had his hand pinched off. They thought they would find someone to take revenge, but they didn't come. It was calm.

Zhao Changhe believed that the other party would not dare to send an army of one thousand people into the market. Timur's garrison here is not a joke, but it should not be a big problem to gather dozens of people to come in to find trouble. I feel that group fights should often occur in this place. That's right, but no one came.

  It seems that Sanniang is not bragging, she really has a deterrent power.

  She can ignore the fights in the store, but if she really finds someone outside to beat her customers, no one seems to dare.

  Zhao Changhe raised his hand and turned his shoulders. Speaking of breaking someone's hand today, he was surprised. It seems that the fruit Xia Longyuan gave, the breakthrough of the seventh level of external skills, and the introduction of the so-called blood Shura body brought about greater changes than I originally imagined.

  External kung fu plays on physical fitness, and to put it bluntly, it refers to the strength and resistance of the physical body. Under normal circumstances, it actually goes hand in hand. When the physical fitness is trained, the offense and defense will of course improve. It's just that due to the different orientations of everyone's practice, each school has its own characteristics.

  For example, I am more aggressive, and Situ Xiao is more defensive, but the actual difference will not be too obvious. Assuming that Situ Xiao's defense is 100%, the attack is at least 80% or 90%, which is not high defense and low attack. And myself is the other way around.

   After all, everyone is still in the category of human beings, isn’t that what happens to human bodies...

   But from now on, there is a more significant distinction.

I definitely didn't have such great divine power before, breaking through a profound entrance would not cause crazy growth, it can only be understood as the initial transformation effect of the body, this kind of physique seems to be moving in a direction of "infinite power", and began to be extremely powerful. people.

   This is only the expression of the seventh level of the entrance, what if it is to peep into the secret storehouse? What about higher places? Can you move mountains and fill seas?

   It is conceivable that he is in the direction of "infinite power", while Situ Xiao is in the direction of "King Kong is not bad". There is a significant difference between the offensive and defensive poles. It looks like a big baby and a third baby.

  And what about the qualitative change of the internal family?

   Finally, I can understand Xia Longyuan's performance, so it seems that there is a path to follow.

  Zhao Changhe practiced silently for a while, and calculated the time. No matter how dark the night was, the torches for transporting goods in the distance were all extinguished, and then he slowly turned and went out, and went to the restaurant hall again.

  The drinkers had all gone, and Sanniang was bored on the counter with her pink cheeks on her face, doing nothing, her lotus feet dangling, kicking a Persian cat beside her feet. The cat would shake when kicked, but it would not go away, just like the drinkers who stayed by her side in the evening.

  Hearing someone enter through the back door, Sanniang looked up lazily, saw that it was Zhao Changhe, and went back to the counter in a somewhat sleepy manner: "Why, buy wine? Or Jiangnan cuisine?"

  Zhao Changhe said: "Why can't I chat with you?"

   "Come on, you still think my smell affects your eating."

   "But you invited me, didn't I still come?"

   "When did I invite you?"

   "When you knocked on the table three times." Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "There are no customers, and you are still bored here, why don't you go to the casino you mentioned and gamble a few hands?"

   "It's too noisy, just like here during the day, it's hard to chat with people."

  Zhao Changhe nodded: "I think so too."

   As he spoke, he sat down in front of the counter and took out an ingot of broken silver: "Two pots of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, the feeling of drinking before is quite authentic."

   "Why two pots?"

   "Please drink a pot."

   Sanniang's sleepy appearance soon disappeared, and she happily turned around to get the wine.

  Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "Are there not many people who invite you to drink? See how happy you are."

   "No matter how many there are, who cares too much when someone treats you?" Sanniang quickly took two jugs of wine and poured them for Zhao Changhe, looking like a young girl.

  Zhao Changhe thought of all kinds of brand new unopened mobile phones hanging on Xianyu, "gifted by licking dogs", as expected, there are not too many.

   But San Niang added: "Just like you men don't dislike too many women."

  Zhao Changhe was taking a sip of wine, and almost spit out when he heard the words, his old face was a little hot under the disguise: "I really didn't come to hook you up!"

"I know." Sanniang said leisurely: "There are a lot of people who come here to buy information, especially during this period of time, there are many people from the Middle Earth who come here, and they all want to ask about the Hu people's military situation. Some time ago, there was a man carrying an epee The alcoholic, he stayed here for almost a month with a drunken appearance every day, and his wife **** on him before he was willing to leave, and now he doesn’t know where he died.”

  Zhao Changhe: "..."

   Sanniang squinted at him: "Do you understand? We don't dare to sell anything. After all, we are here to make a living. If you don't want to die, you have to keep your mouth shut. You don't want to sell things like military affairs."

  Zhao Changhe said: "Understood. But you should be able to finish the half of what you said before?"

Sanniang said: "The manager of Huangshaji they are dealing with is Ubalu, the confidant of the Great Khan. In the past, their food was transported directly to Huangshaji, but this time it was empty for some reason. Come here, I must have unloaded elsewhere on the way."

  Zhao Changhe thought for a while, and handed over another piece of silver: "Is Ubalu's strength considered military intelligence? Many people should know about it."

Sanniang curled her lips with some sarcasm: "Ordinary goods with a weight of six or seven in the porch are not good enough for war, but there is no way to do it, Khan's cronies, you can't go to the front line for war, and come to the back market to collect some supplies to play with women. of?"

   Zhao Changhe secretly thought at least I can be sure that you are not his.

  Thinking about what articles can be written here, Sanniang suddenly asked: "What's your name?"

  Zhao Changhe said: "The way of the king."

   "Langya Wang's family's Wang Daozhong? Or the same name and surname?"

"you guess?"

   Sanniang looked at him suspiciously for a while, then suddenly said: "If you are really from the Wang family, I suggest you run away."

  Zhao Changhe blinked: "What?"

"Herei sent a letter to the tribe a long time ago, saying that his affairs were destroyed by the king's way, and told the Great Khan not to trust the words of the royal envoy. Now that Helei died at the hands of Suzaku, all the tribes are wondering if it has something to do with the Wang family—listen It is said that the Saintess of the Four Elephants Sect was also there when Langya was discussing swords, so it is estimated that the Four Elephants Sect has an alliance with the Wang family."

  Zhao Changhe's stomach almost burst from laughter, and he said solemnly: "What does Da Khan think?"

   "I don't know what the Great Khan thinks. I only know that if the Warrior Lion tribe knows you are here, they will fight you desperately."

   "War lion tribe nearby?"

   "Not only is it near here, but their life has been a bit difficult recently. All parties are eager to swallow them. If I guessed correctly, this batch of food from the Qiao family was originally intended to be sold to the War Lion tribe... where is it now?"

  Zhao Changhe suddenly felt that the world was really interesting.

  It turns out that even such things can have an inexplicable connection, as if they are connected by a wire somewhere.

  And this San Niang... Didn’t you say that you dare not mention military affairs? Does this count?
