The beginning of the king guards the Great Wall

Chapter 14 The Eye of Tranquility
The bullock cart moved forward slowly.

A magnificent city appeared in front of Jiang Ming.

Yucheng, a country rich in jade, is as wealthy as Chang'an, the imperial capital.

It is unbelievable that there is such a beautiful and rich land in the barren desert, which is incompatible with the surrounding yellow sand.

"Is this Yucheng? It's really impressive."

Looking up at the city gate studded with gold and jade, Jiang Ming said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

In contrast, the Great Wall seems too shabby.

There is not even a decent barracks, and soldiers have to sleep in tents at night.

At this time, Tan got off the bullock cart.

Smiling at Jiang Ming, he said, "Thank you Mr. Jiang for taking care of you all the way, and I will leave this little girl alone."

"Goodbye."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

Tan took a few steps, and suddenly turned back.

He took off the blue crystal pendant on his chest and sent it to Jiang Ming.

"This is?"

Jiang Ming looked bewildered.

"My family is well-known in Yucheng. Mr. Jiang can take out the pendant if you encounter difficulties. I believe the other party will not embarrass you."

Tan shallowly smiled, blooming like a pure lotus flower.

Taking a deep look at Jiang Ming, he left without looking back.

Jiang Ming played with the crystal pendant in his hand, which still had the girl's unique temperature and body fragrance.

"Just two days after we met, you're giving me a token of love. My lord is really charming."

Lao Li said suddenly, with an unscrupulous smile on his face.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is not a token of love, it's just a thank you gift between ordinary friends."

"Ordinary friends don't give such personal things. She must have taken a fancy to you."

"Forget it, do whatever you want."

Jiang Ming shook his head and laughed, signaling Lao Li to take the time to enter the city.

Anyway, it is estimated that there will be no chance to meet in the future, and he does not want to waste time on this topic.

Yucheng is worthy of being a big trading country, and vendors can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Jade, which is expensive outside, is as cheap as scrap iron here, and the fur of the demon species that is very common in the Great Wall is extremely expensive here.

Jiang Ming reckoned that twelve carts of demon corpses could be exchanged for at least thirty carts of food, enough to support the guards for more than two months.

However, with so many demon corpses, ordinary businessmen can't eat them.

Jiang Ming's trading target on this trip is the Yucheng army, to be precise, the army general.

Lao Li had participated in material transactions with Hua Mulan before, so he drove the car to the Yucheng military camp with ease.

A soldier signaled Jiang Ming and the two to wait outside, while he himself went in to report.

After a while, a young general came out.

He is tall and handsome, with the pattern of Yucheng on his armor.

It was the defender of Yucheng——Sheng!

"Welcome to Yucheng, friends of the Great Wall, I have prepared food and wine to cleanse the dust for the two of you."

Sheng warmly greeted Jiang Ming and made a gesture of invitation.

"General Sheng, let's trade supplies first."

The contract-keeping side is almost in trouble, and Jiang Ming is not in the mood to waste time here.

"Don't worry, let's eat and drink well before clearing up the supplies slowly, otherwise the king will blame me for not greeting well."

Sheng insisted on inviting.

Even Lao Li persuaded: "My lord, you have been on the road for five consecutive days. It's good to take a break, and Yucheng is famous for its delicious food. It's not too late for us to leave after eating."

"Well, just rest here for the night."

Jiang Ming pondered for a while, nodded and said.

He is still young, and he will not feel tired after traveling for several days.

But Lao Li can't do it. If this goes on, his old bones will fall apart.

"Please, both of you!"

Sheng walked ahead and led the way.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Ming appeared at the banquet.

There are delicious delicacies from beyond the Great Wall.

There are so many beautiful things in eyes, just looking at the appearance makes people very appetizing.

There are also beauties in Yucheng who sing and dance, and their dances are moving and glamorous.

For a moment, all eyes were on the dancing girl.

And Jiang Ming took the opportunity to sign in.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in in Yucheng and getting the reward: The Eye of Tranquility!"

Tranquil Eye, a vision-type passive skill.

The moment he acquired the skill, Jiang Ming felt a blur in front of his eyes, followed by a sudden enlargement of his vision.

Every plant and tree within a radius of one kilometer appeared in his mind without exception, and he could even see the scene behind him clearly.

Not only that, but when his sight is focused on something, the Tranquil Eye will automatically analyze the attributes of the thing.

It is simply the eye of God.

His eyes accidentally touched his hand, and a message suddenly appeared.

Name: Jiang Ming

Status: Toxic (no attack, see toxicity and solution)

"I've been poisoned?"

Jiang Ming was horrified.

How is it possible, I obviously have never touched anything.

Wait, could it be. . .

Jiang Ming suddenly thought of something and looked at the wine glass in his hand.

Item name: Zhenlu wine
Attributes: Alcohol, Poison
It really is this glass of wine!

Jiang Ming hurriedly checked the toxicity and the solution.

Toxicity: Paralyzed, unable to move.

Solution: press Juque and Tianshu two acupoints.

Before the toxicity took hold, Jiang Ming detoxified according to the method given by Tranquil Eye.

After 1 minute, the toxicity in Jiang Ming's body was successfully resolved.

Looking at Lao Li: Poisoned.

Look at Sheng again: no poisoning.

The result is self-evident, Sheng poisoned the wine!

At this time, Jiang Ming suddenly remembered that before Yucheng, Shouyue specially asked him to keep a low profile.

It is best not to disturb anyone, complete the transaction quietly, and leave Yucheng quietly.

Because this kind of gray transaction is not allowed in both countries.

But at this time, Sheng actually invited them to a banquet in the barracks openly and aboveboard. This kind of behavior itself is very problematic.

"Damn it, I was careless and almost fell into his way."

Jiang Ming gave himself a mouthful in his heart.

At the same time, he opened his eyes of tranquility to scan the entire military camp from the sky.

They suddenly found that there were countless Yucheng guards hidden around them.

All the guards are heavily armed, as if a battle is about to come.

This further confirmed his guess.

But why did Sheng do this?

Don't want to pay for food?

No, Yucheng is so rich, it is by no means possible to get a reputation of dishonesty for a few carts of grain.

In order to weaken the strength of the Great Wall?

That's even more inappropriate, after all, Jiang Ming and Lao Li can be said to be insignificant to the entire Great Wall Guard Army.

Jiang Ming was puzzled.

But his intuition told him that Sheng's goal didn't seem to be the Great Wall, but Jiang Ming alone.

"Since you want to play, then I will play with you."

With a cold smile in his heart, an imperceptible coldness flashed in Jiang Ming's eyes.

He didn't even need to use his brain to guess Sheng's purpose.

As long as he cooperates with acting and makes Sheng think that he has been poisoned, the fox's tail will naturally be exposed.

So, Jiang Ming pretended not to know anything, and continued to chat with Sheng cheerfully.
