Chapter 113 Donglan Town

Nothing happened overnight, and I have to say that the place Wang De chose is indeed quite safe.

Everyone rested pretty well.

In the early morning of the next day, the team set off again and rushed to the next foothold.

Xu Gu'an didn't care about the bumps of the carriage, and with his physique, it basically didn't affect him.

He still has the leisure to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Since crossing into this world, he has never left the village, nor has he been out of the eastern suburbs.

This is the first time to travel far, so it is inevitable to pay more attention to the unfamiliar environment.

In the early spring, when the ice and snow melt and the flowers bloom, the scenery along the way is quite good.

Such a good mood lasted until noon, and with a howl of wolves, they encountered a group of wild wolves.

Normally speaking, the average pack of wild wolves would not dare to approach them when faced with the size of their carriage.

After all, there are quite a few of them, and there are also carriages. They are also not easy to mess with for wild wolves.

But it's a pity that this group of wild wolves they met this time were extremely tough and had no intention of leaving.

"It's the black-fanged wolves, tsk." Some experienced caravan members around recognized this group of iron-headed and fierce wolves at a glance, and couldn't help but whispered bad luck.

Xu Gu'an was also observing, and he found that these wild wolves were larger than ordinary wolves, with broad skeletons and backs like ligers.

A pair of pointed and long tusks that were exposed were pitch black and blended with the black hair all over his body, which was rare among ordinary beasts.

It is also a major feature of this black tooth wolf pack.

This is undoubtedly a variant branch of wild wolves. Xu Gu'an vaguely remembers seeing it once in the copy of Donglan Mountains.

This is indeed an extremely ferocious beast, and its combat power is much better than that of ordinary wild wolves.

It is precisely because of their ferocity that these black-fanged wolves seldom give up on their targets.

"Get ready to fight!" Wang De shouted loudly.

The members of the caravan escort drew out their weapons one after another, and they protected the carriage in the middle.

No matter when and where, for caravans, the goods delivered on each trip are always the most important, and they must be protected as much as possible.

Xu Gu'an glanced over and found that the strength of this caravan was really strong.

More than 30 members, more than half of them are experts at the armor level, and there are two copper-skin level body refiners.

And Wang De, if Xu Gu'an is right, he is a bone-strengthening body refiner just like him!
Apart from Tang Bao and his unknown strength, Wang De was the first Bone Strengthening Body Refiner he saw.

With such a strong lineup, even in the face of hundreds of people in a village, this caravan has reason to win the final victory.

Think about it and feel normal.

If the strength of the team is not strong enough, and the caravan can't handle all kinds of dangers in the wild all day long, it would be strange to survive till now.

The members of the team looked quite calm. Facing this group of black-fanged wolves, at most they only found it troublesome, not difficult to deal with.

As the black-fanged wolves approached, the horses were startled and began to stir.

"Fire arrows!"

Wang De did not continue to wait passively, but chose to attack actively.

Dozens of arrows shot out immediately, roaring and attacking the wolves.

The black-toothed wolves were indeed the ferocious wolves that roamed the Donglan Mountains. Facing the arrows, they were not forced back at all. Instead, their ferocity was aroused, and they rushed towards the caravan one after another.

The fight was inevitable.

Xu Gu'an touched the silver knife on his waist with one hand, and did not rashly intervene in the battle of the caravan.

This is also Wang De's advice to him. When there is an emergency in the wild, just hand it over to their caravan.

They don't want to put their fellow customers at risk if they can.

After all, the battle is over, and it would be fine if the customers are safe and sound, but they are afraid that the customers will suffer and they will not be able to rescue them in time.

It's much more troublesome to deal with it afterwards.

It is even possible to make enemies because of this, which is the last situation Wang De wants to see.

Faced with Wang De's thousands of exhortations, Xu Gu'an naturally would not do anything extra to show off, which made people unhappy.

After some fighting, most of the black-fanged wolves were eliminated, and a few escaped at last.

The crisis was lifted without any twists and turns.

What the caravan paid was only a few minor injuries, and two bandages would suffice.

Put the corpses of the black-fanged wolves on the ground into the carriage, and these wolf meat and bones can be sold for a lot of money when transported to the town, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain on the caravan road.

"Damn it, Ah Liang, can you be gentle, a good wolf skin was ruined by you, it could have been sold for five hundred coppers, but now no one wants one hundred."

"Hmph, to put it bluntly, if I had acted softly at that time, my life would have been lost."

"Stop arguing, these things are all sold, I'm treating guests to a restaurant for a good meal, hurry up!" Wang De said loudly.

Everyone's hands and feet became much more dexterous immediately.

Soon the team set off again.

The route of the entire caravan is along the Donglan Mountains.

Every time Xu Guan opened his eyes on the carriage, he could always see the shadow of the towering mountains not far away when he turned his head.

Afterwards, the journey went much smoother, and no other dangers were encountered.

In some stories, the unexpected and bizarre events that the protagonist often encounters did not happen in the end.

Two days later, the caravan bypassed the Donglan Mountains and saw the outline of the town.

"It's coming." A caravan member smiled and said.

Xu Gu'an stood on the carriage, looking at the town in front of him from a distance.

The so-called Donglan Town is more like a small town than a town.

Across the high plain, there are walls made of mud bricks on all sides, at least seven or eight meters high, which is enough to protect the entire town quite well.

At least ordinary herds of beasts can't break through this seemingly thick and towering wall.

According to Wang Dena, this Donglan town can be regarded as a big town, with a permanent population of more than 3 households, a total of [-] to [-] people.

And if the floating population is included, this number would have to be multiplied several times on weekdays.

Such a population size is enough to be called a big town.

Only a big town can build such a defensive wall that consumes a huge amount of money and manpower to accommodate visitors from all over the world.

A rammed main road extends several kilometers from the outside of the town to the gate of the town.

On this road, there is an endless flow of cars and horses.

There are many caravans like Wang De's.

When they arrived at the gate of the town, the speed of the caravan slowed down. Wang De took the initiative to find the two groups of guards guarding the gate, showed his token of identity, and stuffed some copper coins into the guards.

Soon, the caravan was allowed to enter the town without being checked.

The people around are basically not surprised, as if the rules are like this.

Xu Gu'an saw that directly above the city wall of the town gate, there was a big word Donglan engraved on it. It looked quite simple and heavy, with a sense of age.

Indeed, since the birth of this Donglan Town, it has a very long history, and it can be traced back much farther than the Xujia Village where Xu Gu'an lives.

Even the name of the Donglan Mountain Range was proposed by a big man in Donglan Town.

It can be regarded as the Donglan Town that existed first, and only then did it get the name of the Donglan Mountain Range!

After that, Xu Gu'an's eyes fell on the two groups of guards guarding the town gate.

The reason why he was talking about two groups of guards was that the clothes on the guards were different.

One group wore black cloth clothes, while the other group wore white cloth clothes. It looked like a town gate guarded by two different groups of people.

This seemed a bit strange, Xu Gu'an remembered the things about Donglan Town that the old village head Xu Rushan had mentioned to him before, and now he has a little understanding.

This small detail is a display of this very different world.

The historical background of this world is very different from the world historical process that Xu Gu'an learned in his previous life.

Among them, the biggest difference is that this world does not have the so-called kingship supremacy of the nation-building system.

This world puts more emphasis on force, so there is no monarch and king who dominates the world, only a powerful master and his vassals.

Simply put, there are no countries in the strict sense of the word in this world.

Just like this Donglan Town, in the beginning, the three big villages with harmonious relations reached a consensus to gather together for common development and avoid risks.

In the end, the concept of the town gradually evolved, and it was named Donglan.

Until now, the entire Donglan Town is also jointly managed by three families with big surnames.

There is no government office, or the three major surnamed families are the local government office in this town. After all, it is their first three villages that set the rules.

The two waves of guards at the gate of this town are probably also the result of arrangements by two of the families.

"It's hard to imagine that such a power structure can develop for a long time." Xu Gu'an thought in his heart, following the caravan into the town with his eyes.

A lot of yelling came to Xu Gu'an's ears immediately.

What catches the eye is a series of bustling streets, leading to all directions of the town.

Roadside sellers of sugar skewers, minced meat, clothes, gadgets, and jugglers
Thick smoke and fire blowing towards the face.

This is the lively atmosphere that Xu Gu'an could not feel in the village.

Blue tiles and white walls, stone paving, pebble roadways
Lively but not messy, crowded but orderly.

It has to be said that this town has been managed quite well, which has exceeded Xu Gu An's expectations when he came.

Really good.

The caravan arrived at an inn along one of the streets.

The members of the chamber of commerce who were responding in the town were notified at this moment, and immediately came to handle the goods skillfully.

"Thank you, Brother Wang." A figure in charge of dressing up came forward to exchange greetings with Wang De.

After chatting with each other for a while, the other party just left with the goods.

Wang De booked many rooms in the inn, and he will stay in the town for a few more days, so he won't leave so early.

Afterwards, Wang De fulfilled his promise and took everyone to eat and drink at a restaurant opposite the inn.

Such behavior also convinced the people below.

You must know that inviting so many people to have a drink together costs a lot of money, and not all big brothers can be so generous.

From this, Xu Gu'an got his first meal in the town.

"Shopkeeper, wrap up a layer for me, and the cost of drinks and food will be counted on my head." Wang De laughed.

"Okay, gentlemen, please go to the third floor." The shopkeeper burst into a smile.

The restaurant is not too small, there are more than a dozen tables on the first floor, enough for the entire caravan to sit down.

Wang De took Xu Gu'an to sit at a table by the window, and there were two other copper-skinned body trainers in the caravan sitting at this table.

This location is the best, and you can see the scenery outside the building with a slight tilt of your head.

The waiter in the shop quickly brought up a few butterflies peanuts and jars of wine for the guests at each table to drink first.

"Xiao'an, this is the first time you've come to town, but you're still used to it?" Wang De said to Xu Gu'an after pouring wine for a few people on the table.

"Well, it's a very lively place. I'm afraid I'll be staying here for a while." Xu Guan nodded.

"Hehe, these days I'm just wandering around the town. When I enter the martial arts academy, it will be difficult to be so leisurely." Wang De said, taking a sip of the wine in his glass.

With his fingers, he peeled the peanuts on the plate.

"Indeed, the students of the Martial Academy, no matter where they are, I heard that the competition among each other is quite fierce." The chamber of commerce experts on the side followed suit.

His name was Sun Dabao, and the one sitting on the other side was Liu Laosi.

The two can be regarded as Wang De's right-hand men.

"I have a distant relative's child. He also entered the local martial arts academy in his early years, but later he heard that he could not keep up with the standards of the martial arts academy and was dismissed before he graduated." Sun Dabao said seriously.

"That's right, this martial arts academy cares about its own appearance. It doesn't want those who pretend to be fakes to damage their reputation outside after graduation, so those who quit midway are all students who are not recognized by the martial arts academy.

Those who can successfully graduate from the martial arts academy are all carefully selected powerful characters, and they are all superior to others when they go out."

Liu Laosi also had a chat, put a peanut in his mouth, and started talking.
