Part One: Mountains in Ten Directions Chapter One: Yongan City

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    These days, Yongan is much more prosperous than before.  Since Anting Town was occupied by the Chu army and was located at the forefront of the battle between the two armies, the road in and out of the Shifang Mountains was cut off.  Even Shifang Town, the most senior node in and out of Shifang Mountain, has also declined a lot.  Saying depression may not be enough to describe the scene in those places, because the Chu State deliberately expelled those adventurers who were prepared to stay in the local area, or even prepared to venture into the Shifang Mountains for a long time to avoid the disaster of war, and significantly,  Even the obviously unreasonable requisition of a large amount of supplies made it impossible for the adventurers to buy enough supplies. Almost all the adventurers there left.  Only a small number of adventurers supported by chambers of commerce, wealthy families, etc. are still stranded there.  Some groups with big-name figures who had great ideas on them withdrew from Anting and Shifang Town early and came to Yong'an to start preliminary preparations.  Most of them are adventure groups from Chu State.  It is probably well known to everyone that the upper echelons of the Chu State have ambitions and covet the Yue State.  When Yue and Chu were fighting, it could also be seen that the Chu State had carefully planned this battle and considered every aspect.  If it weren't for the superb performance of almost all the generals and sergeants of the Yue Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom would have been unable to maintain the front line.  What the Chu State wanted was not only to invade the territory and people of the Yue State, but also to seize the access to the Shifang Mountains that the Yue State had always controlled.  The Anting-Shifang Town line has been developed very maturely. The Chu army drove the adventurers not to completely abandon this line, but precisely because this line can already obtain various supplies stably, and some people have even begun to try it.  To plant some special medicines on the edge of the Shifang Mountains, some people at the top of the Chu State wanted to directly form a huge business group to unifiedly operate this route.  As for the Yong'an front line, it will still require many years of continuous investment and the sacrifice of many adventurers. The senior leaders of Chu State feel that it is better to open this road to adventurers.  Even if many people are asked to share the huge profits that can be obtained from Shifang Mountain in the early stage, it can also reduce the loss of Chu State's relatively advanced combat power.  There are not so many adventurers and desperadoes to explore spontaneously in batches. Let alone the Chu State, even the powerful Yong State in the north definitely does not have the manpower and material resources to continue exploring.  Yongan became popular under this special background.  For Geng Yekang, who has lived in Yongan since childhood, life has been getting better and better recently.  Two chambers of commerce from Taifeng City rented half of his warehouse and piled up various supplies purchased from Taifeng and Yong'an, as if they were preparing for a big fight.  However, a warehouse is just a warehouse after all. It can only store some things. The warehouse cannot support horses and other beasts of burden, nor can it accommodate many people. That is to say, the few guys who look at the goods don't mind the simplicity of the place. They roll up blankets and big bags.  The piles of wood rolled together.  Although the people responsible for purchasing and transporting supplies come to the warehouse every day, they still live in a nearby inn.  Geng Yekang had already heard the steward say that when the large group of people arrived, especially the good men and guides, they would set up camp in the large open space specially set aside in the city, and then they would leave.  Come to think of it, that's just what happened in the past few days.  Geng Yekang was worried. After they left, would his warehouse still have such a good business?  There have never been many large adventure groups.  Geng Yekang¡¯s warehouse is less than thirty steps away from the city gate.  Across a wall is the soldier's guardhouse at the city gate.  His brother-in-law is in charge of another city gate, and he has a close relationship with the people in charge here. With the help of these people, safety is not a problem, and he can often get some business directly from the city gate.  .  Just when he was worried, there was a sound of wheels rolling through the city gate.  "This you can't go in!" A soldier said timidly.  "Monster, how can you run around with a monster. What if you hurt someone?" Monster?  Geng Yekang was stunned for a moment. Now there is actually a caravan that can carry monsters?  What a strong group they must be, but are the soldiers stupid enough to dare to intercept a large caravan that can afford to raise monsters?  He turned around and saw that that was not the case.  The monsters were indeed monsters. There were clearly two white tigers with extremely beautiful patterns, and there were several golden-threaded birds on the cart they were pushing.  But this group of people only totaled a dozen people, pushing several large carts.  "Master Jun, we have raised these monsters for many years. They are very close to us and will not hurt anyone. Look, how well-behaved these guys are." The old man at the head said, and he patted one of them.  The head of a big white tiger.  The tiger didn't look offended at all, but rubbed his cheek hard against the old man, as if he was being coquettish.  "Butbutthis is a monster. There are only a few of you, how can you control it? If something happens, are you responsible?" the soldier shouted.  "Master Jun, it's impossible for anything to happen. You?, can you please accommodate us?  "The old man stuffed something into the soldier's arms. Geng Yekang could see clearly that it was actually a piece of demon core! Is this a demon core for these people? Even a low-grade demon core will not be cheap now. Yong'an  Although this is the frontier for the Chu Kingdom to enter and exit the Shifang Mountains, due to the limited time for development, it is not yet time to steadily harvest demon cores. Normally, one of the highest grade demon cores costs about ten taels of silver.  This kind of demon core is of no use except for being used by some high-level monks as materials in experiments. This is more than the amount of money needed to bribe the soldiers at the city gate. "Oh, let them.  come in.  If you are not at ease, just watch it here.  Anyway, I guess no inn would dare to accept you.  Geng Yekang stood up calmly, took a few steps forward, and said loudly. "Is this good?"  " When those soldiers heard this, they no longer persisted. If they really wanted to guard them, they would definitely not be able to watch them, but anyway, they were right under their noses. At least they had an explanation to their superiors. Moreover, these people were generous.  , it would be of some benefit. In this way, the group entered Geng Yekang's warehouse smoothly. The two stewards of Taifeng Chamber of Commerce were in the warehouse, and they seemed to have bought a lot of things today.  , a batch of arrows, steel bars, kerosene, etc. have just been delivered. The two stewards seem to have a good relationship. The two adventure groups also discussed and competed with each other beforehand. However, they have no taboos with each other and have always worked together.  We all negotiate together when purchasing items. If the quantity of goods is large, it is easy to lower the price. The two stewards are both knowledgeable. When they saw that this group of people actually brought two jade-spotted tigers and several golden-threaded birds, their eyes were immediately opened.  "Oh, I said, have you guys just come out of the mountains?  What a coincidence.  Why are there only so many people?  "A steward stepped forward and asked friendly. "That's just the way we are.  Jiang Mei said: "Are you guys preparing to enter the mountain?"  " "Oh, yes.  We are just here to hit the front line.  A large group of people will be arriving in the next few days.  It just so happens that you are here and I want to ask you for advice. Is there anything particular about the mountains lately?  " "Haha, it's hard to say.  "Jiang Mei pretended to be secretive. "No one would say this kind of thing easily. Some key points are related to the management and results of their respective adventure groups. Some methods are even secrets that are not taught. "I understand, I understand, you settle down first.  After settling in, let¡¯s go to Changqing Building to set up a table.  They are all insiders, so no one knows yet.  Of course I just say what I can. Thank God if I can avoid some trouble.  " "Oh, who says it's not the case?  "Jiang Mei said with some satisfaction: "We live on these monsters.  Only then did he dare to stay in there for a long time.  "    "long time?  "How long?" "A little half a year."  "Jiang Mei said calmly. This calmed the two stewards. "You were able to stay there for half a year?  "Both of them had incredible expressions. "Oh, it's easy to eat and drink, but there are no medicinal materials.  After all, it's impossible not to hurt people.  Besides, no matter how much stuff there is, we can¡¯t carry it anymore.  Jiang Mei smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that you will laugh."  We used to be thugs and bodyguards, and we had no way to sell goods.  That is to say, to avoid the military disaster and rely on the monster beasts that he raised before, he can still live a somewhat capable life.  You two have seen a lot of things in the world at first glance, so I can't help but rely on you two.  "The two stewards repeatedly raised their hands and said, "It's easy to talk about.  " That's how the atmosphere became warm. Although there seemed to be few people, no one dared to look down upon these people. Except for a few people pulling carts and carrying things, there were actually several good ones in the excitement stage, as well as the veiled one.  The woman is a healer. These people can raise two jade-spotted tigers and several golden-threaded birds. It is impossible to say that they must have come from wealthy families. Although I don¡¯t know why they would hide instead of going to the front line to make contributions, but these  It seems that the business managers like them are not something that should be investigated. With just these people, a dozen people can stay in Shifang Mountain for half a year. That is really capable, and you need to have a knack. With this kind of ability,  Everyone is trying to fawn over them. ¡°Oh, this is a matter of mutual benefit. It¡¯s easy to talk about.  "Jiang Mei agreed happily. "They didn't have many things in total, so they sorted them out with a little organization. Then, Jiang Mei went to the two stewards with the gifts and asked them to take him to the city to collect them first.  The place where the demon core was located. They also said that their daily expenses and so on were all gone, and they only had a few copper coins left. Naturally, the two of them would not miss this good opportunity to build friendship, if they were not in the adventure team themselves.  It was really inconvenient for them to collect these not-so-rare items, so they were ready to take over the goods. "This is the largest demon core market in Yong'an City. There is a person on the first floor.Home.  The higher the level of the demon core is, the higher it is.  What are you planning to do?  No one will mess up the rules, and that's where it should be.  For high-grade items, even if others see them, they won't dare to collect items that shouldn't be collected, and they will make you go upstairs.  So, whether you are a newcomer or a veteran in this industry, they are basically heading here.  " Jiang Mei smiled and said: "We have a lot of messy things in our hands, so why don't we go up one level at a time?  "    "oh?  "A steward said meaningfully: "It seems that you really have something good in your hands.  ¡± PS: I still owe two updatesI understand, I will work hard!
