Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 121 Xiapi (Fourth Update)

Then Zhou Cang led the crowd to move out all the swords, guns, shields, food, grass and money, almost piled up on the ground into mounds.In addition to these trophies, one or two hundred old and weak women and children followed the crowd out of the forest.

Zhou Cang explained: "My lord, these people used to be the common people in the neighborhood. They were forcibly taken to the mountain by the bandits, and there was no life in their hands, so the subordinates took them down the mountain and asked you to deal with them!"

When these old and weak women and children heard this, they knelt down and begged: "My lord, please forgive me. We are all people who were forced to go up the mountain. We didn't help the bandits to do evil. Please spare our lives!"

No matter how much Gao Cheng wanted to get fate points, he would not plan on these old and weak women and children. He waved his hands and said, "Get up, Zhou Cang, these people were brought down by you, then they will be handed over to you. If you are willing to leave Just [-] yuan per person, bring some rations and leave, if you are willing to join the Gao clan as a slave, then take them back to Guangling together!"

Zhou Cang's expression softened suddenly. In his eyes, the children of the aristocratic family are superior and don't regard ordinary people as human beings at all. However, Mr. Gao came from a family of aristocrats, but he doesn't have such a character. He is willing to give money and food to these people to survive!Do something and not do something, this is a hero.

"Master Gao has a heart of benevolence, and his strength is still so strong. He will definitely be a hero with extraordinary achievements in the future, and he is indeed worth serving for him!" His sense of identification with Gao Cheng suddenly increased a lot.As long as there are no major changes in the future, he will continue to work for Gao Cheng's subordinates.

Half of the two hundred old and weak women and children took money and food to seek refuge with their relatives and friends, and the other half of the homeless women and children were willing to seek refuge with Gao's family and become Gao's slaves.In this troubled world, it is better to be a servant of a powerful family than to be a starving person on the side of the road. Although they have lost their freedom, they have been guaranteed to continue to live.

Gao Cheng's 300 people are all young and strong. After several months of training, they are full of energy and blood. It is difficult to vent their energy.

"The women and children who happened to stay are mostly women. After returning to Guangling, give these women to the soldiers as wives. With the bond of family, there is no need to worry about these people getting the exercises and leaving!"

Gao Cheng's calculations were very clear in his mind, and he thought of these when he saw those old and weak women and children.

After killing the bandits in this mountain forest, everyone continued to walk in the direction of Xiapi. Xiapi is an important place in Xuzhou, with prosperous commerce and trade. The governor of Xuzhou has stayed here all year round. Therefore, Pengcheng, the real governing place, does not have such a high status.

The closer you get to Xiapi, the fewer bandits and bandits on the road. Gao Cheng led his men to kill three more bandit villages. After getting goods worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, he saw caravans going back and forth on the official road. Caravans have guards.The idle bandits are no match for the guards at all.

Only the mountains far away from the city are the places where bandits are the most rampant. Gao Cheng and his men strangled four cottages in total. The money alone has a total of more than 100 million yuan, which is enough to last for a long time.So not too disappointed.

When he met the caravan, Gao Cheng also resold the goods he got from the cottage. The price of these unused goods was halved, which made him a lot of money.

After more than ten days, a majestic city can be seen from a distance on the ground. A wide moat surrounds the city and flows to the east. Looking from a distance, you will find that the city is surrounded by clouds and mists, as if it is located in the clouds.

"Young Master Gao! The city of Xiapi is ahead. I have to report to the Patriarch, so I will leave first. I have sent people to prepare the clothes, carriages and horses you bought in the city. You can pick them up anytime!"

There was also a caravan traveling with Gao Cheng's subordinates. This middle-aged man was the manager of the caravan. After seeing Gao Cheng, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, he secretly noticed in his heart and invited everyone to go with the caravan. , Their goal is Xiapi City, just on the way.

Gao Cheng said: "Thank you, Steward Mi, for your help. If there is anything in the future, the steward can send someone to Guangling to find me. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help!"

The middle-aged man on the opposite side was the housekeeper of the Mi family in Xuzhou, and it was he who accepted his goods worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.The goods that Gao Cheng obtained from the bandit camp originally belonged to some wealthy families in Xuzhou, if these people found out, it would be another trouble, and if the Mi family was willing to eat the goods, it would be tantamount to taking over the trouble.This is no small favor.

This Mi Guan is well-informed and has a vicious eye. He seems to have sensed Gao Cheng's strength, so he intends to make friends with him.As the saying goes, one more friend is one more road, so naturally Gao Cheng would not reject the kindness of others.

The Mi Clan in Xuzhou is one of the most wealthy businessmen in the world, with billions of dollars of wealth, and amazing power in Xuzhou. If he can get in touch with the Mi Clan, it will be very convenient for him to buy cultivation resources or other things.

With the help of the name of Mi's caravan, Gao Cheng and his nearly 400 people were not stopped by the city gate officers and soldiers, and they came to the city without any twists and turns.

Speaking of which, after Gao Cheng came to this world, it was the first time he entered the city of a big man. On the avenue near the city gate, he could occasionally see soldiers patrolling the city, but these soldiers were calm, although they were wearing armor and holding iron spears in their hands. , but without the slightest majesty and majesty.

"The murderous aura of these soldiers is not as good as that of the Yellow Turban Soldiers. They will be defeated as soon as they enter the battlefield! It would be bad if all the soldiers in Xuzhou City were like this. Now that the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms have just begun, the world will only become more chaotic in the future. Without strength, no matter how prosperous the city is, it is just the prey of others!"

Gao Cheng thought and shook his head secretly. Except for Gao Tai and Gao Ying, the people behind him had never been to such a prosperous city. There were many pedestrians on the street. On the avenue, a carriage passed by.The signs of the major families are hung on the carriage, and most of the people sitting in the carriage are the children or female relatives of the families in the city.

"When did Xiapi City become a place where refugees can come in? What does the captain of the city gate do for food? He didn't stop these mud legs!"

At this moment, Gao Cheng moved his ears and heard a voice from a distance. He turned his head and saw two young men dressed as scholars talking on the side street. One of them was wearing a brocade robe with a jade pendant hanging from his waist. And Saber, with a slightly frivolous breath, pointing at Gao Cheng, talking to everyone and his companions.

The man next to him was also dressed in the same way, slightly thinner but handsome.

Gao Cheng and nearly 400 of his men trekked outside for several months, and their clothes were almost turned into rags. It would have been really difficult to enter Xiapi City if Manager Mi hadn't told them.

The slightly thin man's eyes fell on Gao Cheng and Zhou Cang, his body shook, and he seemed a little surprised.He met Gao Cheng's eyes, and suddenly realized that the person who could hear them from such a distance must also be a soul cultivator who has awakened his sense of hearing.

He smiled apologetically, turned around and pulled the young man in brocade clothes beside him, and persuaded him: "Brother Duanhe, what is your status, why do you have to make trouble with these people, isn't it just humiliating yourself? Don't cause trouble, let's go!"
