A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 11 Universal Chamber of Commerce
Did not chase.

Jiang Ding pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the bloody battlefield. The smell of blood was very strong at the tip of his nose.

The spine was slightly numb, and in just a few minutes, the bone refining progressed further.

No matter what kind of martial arts you are, you can ultimately find the value of your existence and the essence of your life on the battlefield.

The caravan guys around looked at the young man among the corpses in awe and did not dare to get close.

"Thank you young hero for saving your life."

After a long time, the caravan steward finished bandaging his wounds and hurried over. He bowed deeply and said, "Sihai Chamber of Commerce, Long San, a descendant of the Long family, has met the young hero. There will be good rewards in the future."

Jiang Ding was stunned: "In the future? Why not now?"

Long San's scalp exploded, and his whole body, especially his throat, felt cold, and he instinctively reached for the sword at his waist.

Facing Jiang Ding's gaze, he paused again.

"Is the generous reward just a polite word?" Jiang Ding said displeased.

"Don't dare! Wait a moment, young hero."

Long San relaxed, smiled, cupped his hands, returned to the waiters, each borrowed some, and presented more than thirty taels of silver.

"Don't blame me, young hero. I only have 30 taels of silver on me now. I will give you generous gifts when I get to Fucheng."

"That's not necessary, it's enough. They took action first, and they didn't save you specifically."

Jiang Ding collected the money and shook his head, "I have something else to ask of you. I also want to go to Fucheng. Can you make it convenient for me to stay with the steward and go together?"

"Young hero, I got what I asked for!"

Long San was overjoyed, but he was also worried that the bandits in Menghu Village would not give up.

After all, this is the boundary of Menghu Village, and no one dares to stay. Long San asked the waiter to specially empty a donkey cart to invite Jiang Ding in, and he accompanied him personally regardless of his injury.

Jiang Ding also asked him about some nearby things.

"In addition to the government office where Zhendong Hou is in charge, there are other masters in the city who cannot be provoked. I want to pay attention to them."

"This one……"

Long San pondered for a while and said: "With the skills of the young hero, some small gangs and small forces will naturally be ignored. There are only three people who can be called great masters. The leader of the Yiqi Gang, 'Yi Bo Yuntian' Yang Dongsheng, Long The master of the Tiger Martial Arts School, Mr. Yuan, the Sky-Fanping Monkey, has disciples all over the Dongling Mansion, both black and white, and the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Ye, is nicknamed the Mixed Golden Sword. I heard that the Zheng family and the Hou Mansion are related by marriage."

"These three are all well-known masters of the inner qi realm. Not to mention their fame and power, it would be a blessing for an inner qi realm warrior like me to survive a single move under their hands."

Long San thought for a while and added:

"Actually, there was a Qixuan Sect a few months ago, which was stronger than the three major forces. It had occupied Dongling Mansion for more than a thousand years. Unfortunately, it was completely slaughtered by Wei Xian, the top disciple of the Golden Blade Sect among the six sects. ."

He looked in awe.

"Oh? Why is this?" Jiang Ding asked with interest: "I remember that the Golden Blade Sect is a large sect near the capital. Why did they come all the way to our place to destroy the sect?"

"These sects have always acted in a domineering manner, and even the government has paid little attention to them in recent years. Who knows."

"But there are some rumors in the city."

Long San thought for a while.

"It is said that the Jindao ancestor of the Jindaomen fell in love with a treasure of the Qixuanmen, called the Tianyin Stone. It was left by Master Qixuan who dominated the martial arts world thousands of years ago. Every month under the shining of the moonlight, it emits fairy light. The sound of music can help people understand martial arts."

Jiang Ding's heart moved, and he seemed to think of something. He thought about it carefully, but found nothing.

"Some people say that one of the enemies of the Golden Blade Ancestor is related to the Qixuan Sect, so he sent his eldest disciple to massacre the entire Qixuan Sect to vent his anger."

"Also, it has something to do with beauty..."

"In short, there are bits and pieces of everything." Long San smiled bitterly: "We little people, what we hear probably can't be true, so we just drink to relieve our boredom."

Jiang Ding also smiled: "Is the top disciple of the Golden Blade Sect still in Dongling City? I don't want to go."

Long's face tightened.

"Let's go, let's go! Don't worry, young hero. Dongling City is just a small, remote place for the geniuses who are ninth on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking. If it wasn't for his master's orders, how could Wei Xian, the 'Sea Splitting Knife', be willing to come here?" ?”Sea-splitting knife?

Jiang Ding was speechless. These people really dared to brag. I'm afraid Jin Dan wouldn't even dare to talk about splitting the sea.

"These geniuses are the real men!"

Long San said with a hint of longing: "I saw with my own eyes that day, just the gold and silver treasures and people's anointing pulled down from Qixuanmen Mountain were filled with more than a dozen large carts, and the last float filled with beauties was even more impressive. People covet it, and I heard that the wife of the Qixuan Sect's master, 'Fairy Suzuyin,' is among them."

"This is the girl that Mr. Yuan and the head of the Zheng family dreamed of dreaming about when they were young. Fortunately, the master of the Qixuan Sect embraced her as a beautiful woman. I didn't expect that now... sigh."

"correct."

Jiang Ding thought of something: "Isn't there a genius from Qixuan Sect called Dragon and Phoenix? Fairy Feixue? Has she also fallen into the hands of that 'Sea-Splitting Knife'?"

"Are you talking about Gong Caiyu, No. 90 on the Dragon and Phoenix List, 'Flying Snow Fairy'? She is the daughter of Fairy Lingyin, and her beauty is as beautiful as heavenly. I didn't see her that day, and I didn't hear anything about her later."

Looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and fields outside the window, the two of them chatted casually, and Jiang Ding got a rough impression of Dongling City.

Along the way, the caravan stopped at small towns, villages and other places from time to time to replenish food and water, rest their animals, and Jiang Ding was also able to see some local customs.

Generally speaking, it is probably similar to what the ancient feudal society of Xianmen looked like.

Physical refining realm warriors have hundreds of kilograms of strength in one arm, and inner Qi realm warriors are even more powerful, but it seems that they have no intention of using this power in agricultural and handicraft production to increase productivity.

The vast majority of warriors choose violent professions such as bodyguards, guards, gang members, and the military that do not directly produce products. Even if they face life and death from time to time, they cannot be called safe and stable.

Four or five hours later, just when Jiang Ding was thinking about staying up all night today, a tall city loomed in the distance.

Looking closer, I found that the city wall was eleven or twelve meters high and fifteen or six meters wide. There were a large number of armored soldiers guarding the city gate, and they were motionless even on a hot day.

People from all walks of life lined up to enter the city, including those who carried firewood, those who sold goods, those who sang operas and those who poured night fragrance.

Jiang Ding carefully counted these soldiers and looked serious: "The soldiers in the city are quite elite."

In the three realms of body refining and the inner realm, all mortals are mortal. Once trapped in cities, plains and other areas and besieged by armies with strong bows and crossbows, no matter how strong they are, they will not be able to withstand it and they will surely die.

"nature."

Long San said solemnly: "The Marquis of Zhendong is one of the twelve generals of Tianyun who followed Taizu to conquer the country. He is ranked ninth in Tianyun Pavilion. His military skills are naturally excellent and have not declined yet."

"There are three major forces in the city, but in fact they are not as good as the Marquis Mansion."

At the gate of the city, the tax collector collected a penny from each person as a fee for entering the city, and the goods were not included. Judging from Long San's expression, he probably didn't charge more or less, and there was no speculation about possible difficulties.

Jiang Ding didn't have a penny, so Long San helped him out.

After entering the city, Jiang Ding handed over to Long Sanyi: "I want to open a grocery store in the city. Mr. Long, can you introduce me to a door or two? It doesn't matter how good the location is, as long as you can settle down temporarily, the commission will definitely not make you suffer." "

This was his plan, to open a grocery store and use a certain amount of money to purchase various specimens dug and captured by local people.

Of course, the requirements for all aspects of specimens are very strict, so they will be trained in advance.

"Hey, hey..."

Long San took half a step back and waved his hands repeatedly: "Young hero, you broke my heart. You saved my life. You can just give me these little things. Why bother?"

"Otherwise." Jiang Ding said seriously: "As I said before, since I have accepted your generous gift, the matter has been settled and should not be mentioned again."

"Young hero, just a few dozen taels of silver..."

"No, that's enough." Jiang Ding said with a smile: "You are also a businessman, so you naturally know that the value is never certain. As long as the businessman agrees, the money and goods will be settled, and there will be no further entanglement."

"Hey, young hero, I can't help you. Since you want to open a store, I will just send a guy who is familiar with this matter to work for you later. There is no need to talk about the commission."

Long San smiled bitterly.

The small businessman who opened a grocery store did not match the murderous young man in green with a sword. It was too inconsistent.

Of course, he didn't ask any more questions, it was someone else's business.
