Chapter 159 Daping Town

In the early morning, the sun shines on the official road.

Li Yu and the others, together with the escort chariot, moved forward slowly.

Every hour, maintain a journey of eleven or twelve miles.

Gulu Gulu, the wheels of the dart cart made a creaking sound, pressing out parallel ruts on the official road.

"About seven miles ahead is the boundary of Daping Town. Brother Li, we need to prepare some dry food."

The fisherman Ma Zhong on the horses of the dart cart said.

The dry food in their bags is only enough for another three or four days.

A group of seven people eat horse chews, and their daily consumption is quite a lot.

After leaving Daping Town, going further north is the boundary of Huafeng County, passing through a canyon that is hundreds of miles long.

"Okay, let's stay in Daping Town for a day and rest at Beizhenkou."

Li Yu had already made a decision in his heart.

As an important town in the northernmost part of Shangye County, Daping Town has a population of two to three thousand people, and its area is much larger than that of ordinary villages and towns. Moreover, the imperial court has set up an inspection department in the town.Although this inspection department is under the jurisdiction of Shangye County, it is enough to explain the size of Daping Town.

It will be almost dark when the convoy arrives at Beizhenkou of Daping Town.

Not long after, the convoy finally entered the boundary of Daping Town.

The atmosphere on the official road suddenly changed.

There are many more common people on the road, it seems that it is the day to go to the market.

Some are carrying vegetables, some are carrying chopped firewood, and some are carrying rough cloth, rushing forward in groups.

Most of these people are wearing ordinary clothes, and they look like ordinary people.

When passing Li Yu's convoy, they all automatically avoided it.

Some of the more knowledgeable villagers saw the official seal on the box of the Qin's Escort, and all of them avoided it.

Since ancient times, people fear officials.

As for the things of the government, an official seal is enough to show its power.

The convoy of Qin's Escort was not too slow. At noon, when the sun was high in the sky, they arrived at the south entrance of Daping Town.

The south entrance of Daping Town is built by a wide wooden pavilion.The pillars on both sides of the gate pavilion are about ten meters high, and the width of the gate is more than ten meters, which can accommodate eight or nine horses to pass through at the same time.

It was noon now, and it was the day when the town went to the market again, and the number of people was the largest.

People come and go, very lively.

"Brother Ma, Brother Zhu, please go and buy some dry food. We will wait for you at the main street in the town." Riding on horseback, Li Yu turned around and said hello.

"it is good!"

The fisherman and shopkeeper agreed, turned over and got off the escort car, got into the crowd, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Yu and the others continued to lead the convoy forward slowly.

With the streets in the town so congested, the Qin's Escort's convoy moved very slowly, a bit slower than when they were on some steep roads in the suburbs.

While walking slowly, Li Yu simply took out the map from his arms, and slowly looked at it.

It is said that it is a map, but it was actually drawn by the bodyguards of Qin's Bodyguard Agency when they were flying the bodyguards.

Therefore, some places, some people, and some things on this map are recorded, but the ratio of the route depicted on the map to the distance of the real area is quite different, that is to say, the ratio on the map is different from that in reality. The real distance is a bit different.

However, what Li Yu looked at was not the proportions on the map, but some forces marked on the map.

Although the current Great Yan Dynasty is relatively peaceful, and the people's life is not very difficult, there are still many robbers, horse thieves, and bandits lingering in the wilderness and forests, and there are also some lone rangers who travel alone in the rivers and lakes.

There are several gangs in the vicinity of Daping Town.

"Mapozhai and Donglin Gang, according to Sister Qin, these two gangs are the most powerful in the area around Daping Town, but Qin's Escort Bureau sends gifts to the door every year, so it's not difficult to think about it. It's just,' The Tianhu Gang' is a new force that has emerged recently, and I haven't seen it before, so I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome."

Li Yu pondered, feeling a little worried.

It is very common for those who run an escort agency to pay homage to the top of the mountain for the green forest forces of the underworld.

Worshiping the top of the mountain and receiving gifts can also save you from meeting swordsmen.

In a real fight, the underworld forces are indeed fierce, but the brother is disabled, has no fighting power, and has to be raised, which is also a huge expense.Similarly, if the bodyguard who opened the bodyguard bureau was injured or died in battle, the manpower for escorting bodyguards would inevitably be affected, and the compensation for the bodyguard's family members would also be a considerable expense.

Worshiping the mountain and giving gifts can be regarded as a step back for both parties to maintain a balanced situation, which is a measure of interests.

But this method seems to have become the most well-known unspoken rule in today's arena.

When Li Yu and the escort chariot moved forward slowly, among the crowded crowd on the left, a young man who looked about twenty years old was walking among the crowd with a black iron pot in his hand.

The young man occasionally glanced at the hole left on the lid of the pot.

"It's strange, there was a reaction just now, why, it suddenly disappeared, there must be too many people."

After murmuring something in a low voice, the young man continued to walk through the crowd.

On his cuffs, there is a faint depiction of a fox's head, which is the swordsman of the Tianhu Gang.

Dao Shou, which means to help the public, is an official member of the Tianhu Gang, and there is a clear difference from the new recruits, and the treatment is different.

The swordsman of the Tianhu Gang squeezed forward in the crowd without complaining.

He is a martial artist with perfect body training. Most of the people around him are ordinary people. Those who are pushed by him dare not speak out. They are often scared to shut up by his stare, thinking they are unlucky .

Soon, the swordsman approached Li Yu's convoy.

From the lid of the black iron pot in his hand, there was a familiar smell again.

"found it!"

The young swordsman suddenly showed joy. He glanced at the black iron pot from time to time, and gradually, through comparison, he locked on Li Yu and his group.

"Qin's Escort Agency! On the box of the escort cart, there is an official seal stamped by the government. Could it be that it contains official money?"

Reminiscent of the escort event held in Shangye County not long ago, this young swordsman suddenly had a guess.

As a clever ghost in the Tianhu gang, this swordsman surnamed Liu is still very quick-witted.

He guessed blindly, and he really guessed right.

"Go back and report to the leader, wait a minute, I have to see where they are staying."

I wanted to turn around and leave, but this swordsman surnamed Liu gave up temporarily, and continued to follow the pedestrians on the road, mingling among them, silently following Li Yu and the others.

After half a stick of incense, Li Yu's motorcade finally arrived at Zhongda Street in Daping Town.

On both sides of the street, it can be said that there is a turmoil of people, and the street is also crowded with various vendors.

The knife surnamed Liu was holding a black iron pot, and he looked like a traveling merchant, mixing in it, Li Yu and the others didn't notice it at all.

They parked the convoy of escort vehicles in an open space beside them.

Ma Zhong, a fisherman, and Zhu Er, a shopkeeper, are waiting for their accomplices.
