Chapter 128: Gathering of Heroes (asking for monthly votes)

Shanyang Prefecture City.

One of the two capitals and thirteen prefectures of the Great Wei, although it ranks low among them.

But as the core of a prefecture, the scale of Shanyang Prefecture City is still beyond Fang Yue's imagination.

Dozens of miles away, you can see the towering city walls standing on the distant horizon, which are more than ten miles long, like a giant beast crawling and leaning down, ready to pounce.

It is hard to imagine that it can still be so large from such a distance. If you get closer, how big this prefecture city will be!

"Boss, the prefecture city of Shanyang Prefecture is in front. Shanyang Prefecture is a place of great spiritual beauty. It is said that the city wall alone is hundreds of miles long. There is also a Hunhe River flowing next to it. This river is the second largest river in the Great Wei, and it is said that it flows east into the sea."

Old Escort Zheng stood at the front of the team and said with admiration as he looked ahead.

As an escort of the escort company, he comes to Shanyang Prefecture several times a year.

It is said that he has seen it many times, but every time he comes and sees the huge city in the distance, he can't help but be shocked.

"Boss, you are here at the right time. In a few days, it will be the first moon day. When the tide of Hunhe River rises, the river will be magnificent and misty. Maybe you can even see immortals." Another younger escort next to him said seriously.

"Huh? Immortals?"

Hearing this, Fang Yue was slightly stunned.

"What nonsense, there are no immortals in this world. It's just rumors spread by fishermen. After all, who has seen them?" Old escort Zheng shook his head and knocked on the pipe. He has been escorting for most of his life.

He has been to Hunhe River several times, so how could he have seen immortals?

After all, it's just rumors spread by some ignorant people and women.

After a rest, everyone continued to move forward.

The closer they got, the more shocked they were by the scale of Shanyang Prefecture.

When they got closer, Fang Yue found that the city wall of Shanyang Prefecture was as high as 70 to 80 feet.

The city gate alone was several feet wide and 50 feet high. People standing at the gate of the city looked very small.

There was still a long queue in front of the gate. Even Shanyang Prefecture was no exception. There was a fee for entering the city.

It was not much, one copper coin per person and ten copper coins per carriage.

The identity of a military candidate would not be treated preferentially here. After all, Shanyang Prefecture had accumulated a large number of military candidates over the years.

They were treated preferentially in the local area, but they had to abide by the rules here.

"Boss, eat some dry food first. It will take another hour or two for us to enter the city."

Old Escort Zheng was experienced. He looked at the length of the queue and roughly knew the time.

It must be afternoon after such a long time. We can only eat some dry food for lunch.

The other caravans around were the same.

Everyone either ate dry food, or even set up a small stove and started to boil water.

"Have you heard about it? It is said that a new tea shop has opened in the city. It seems to be called Yue Chongshan. Why is it called such a name?"

"However, I heard that they are going to sell new tea. It seems to be called Bi Youchun. The daily sales are limited to 50 kilograms. Now one kilogram costs three to five hundred taels of silver."

"You said that tea is so expensive, who would drink it! But it is said that the rich merchants in the city are now entertaining guests. If someone brews a pot of Bi Youchun, it will be very face-saving."

While waiting, the sound of people chatting around came.

Zheng Lao Escort was stunned when he heard it: "My goodness, one kilogram of tea costs three to five hundred taels of silver. Is this tea made of gold?"

"That's right, that's right, gold is not so expensive!" The young escort next to him was also shocked.

Fang Yue couldn't help but chuckle when he heard it.

It's true. One kilogram of gold can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver, which is not less expensive than one kilogram of tea.

The words are rough but the truth is not rough.

However, Fang Yue felt that he had misjudged the market for tea.

At the same time, he also underestimated the spending power of the wealthy merchants in Shanyang Prefecture.

It was amazing that tea could be sold at such a high price.

"This young man, our boss has taken a fancy to this place. Please make way for him."

At this time, a group of merchants came from the back and stopped at Fang Yue's side.

From this group of merchants came a middle-aged businessman. He was dressed in rich clothes, had a mustache, and his eyes were shining, which made him look smart and capable.

Fan Sanshan smiled slightly, looking like an old senior.

"What if we don't make way?" Fang Yue smiled.

The other caravan was larger than his. There were more than a dozen warriors accompanying them. Although most of them were skin-polishing warriors, it was obvious that this was a very powerful caravan.

"Haha, brother, you are still too young. If you don't give way, it doesn't matter.

It's just that you look like this is your first time in the city. We have dealings with several major chambers of commerce in the city. As long as we let them know, maybe no one will dare to buy your goods."

Fan Sanshan smiled and threatened as if he was considering Fang Yue.

At this time, Zheng Lao Escort pulled Fang Yue's sleeve and whispered, "Boss, I heard that the owner of this Sanfu caravan is a big family in the city and is very powerful. Otherwise, let's give way."

He has been to Shanyang Prefecture many times and knows a little about the well-known caravans in Shanyang Prefecture.

The caravan this person belongs to is called Sanfu Caravan, which is very famous in Shanyang Prefecture. It is said that there is a family behind it.

With such strength, who in Shanyang Prefecture would dare to do business with them as long as they say hello.

Wouldn't it be a big loss then?

Bear with the calm for a while!

"This is in front of the city gate of Shanyang Prefecture. If you do this, aren't you afraid that the Shanyang Prefecture guards will punish you?"

Fang Yue nodded and said with a half-smile.

When he first came to Shanyang Mansion, he didn't know much about the power structure here.

But from the middle-aged people, he can also know that this Sanfu caravan may have some strength, but it is not very good.

If he was really powerful and still had to wait in line here, he would have already jumped in line and entered the city.

In other words, since everyone is queuing up here, everyone is just the same, and no one is better than anyone else.

"Hmph, you're tough. I hope you'll be so tough soon." Fan Sanshan snorted coldly and walked away.

Obviously, he didn't dare to cause trouble here.

If you can't intimidate him with words, you can only leave.

"Hey, my boss is still young."

When the old escort Zheng saw this scene, he had no choice but to sigh in his heart.

This trip may not go so smoothly.

~~~~~~

"Shh, everyone be quiet, the Guard patrol is coming!"

At this time, someone shouted, and the surrounding business travelers suddenly became quiet.

Fang Yue also followed his gaze, and sure enough he saw a group of guards wearing armor coming on horseback.

"My boss, this patrol team specializes in inspecting goods. Business travelers are most afraid of provoking these people. If they are targeted by these people, they will lose their skin no matter what." Mr. Zheng, the escort, explained immediately.

Fang Yue understood that soldiers and gangsters extorted money and increased prices. This was also very common among the ancient dynasties in his memory of his previous life.

This is bound to be the case under the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business.

Although this world is not so obvious, it actually follows a policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business.

Soldiers are patrolling and searching, not just to get benefits.

Those who do business these days will inevitably have some prohibited items or other irregularities.

And even if it is completely legal and compliant, it is very uncomfortable to be made difficult for someone.

"Where did you come from? I suspect there is contraband in these cars."

At this time, this group of patrol soldiers came directly to Fang Yue's motorcade.

These soldiers gathered around, obviously preparing to 'inspect' the goods.

The movement here naturally attracted the attention of people around.

"I just saw that after Shopkeeper Fan of the Sanfu Chamber of Commerce left, he went to the guards in front. He might have found these soldiers."

"Yes, yes, I saw it too. It must be like this. Hey, he is still too young. He is away from home and values ​​peace. How can he offend others casually."

The people in these caravans talked a lot, and there was also a trace of pity in their eyes when they looked at Fang Yue and others.

If you are targeted by these people and are definitely being plotted, you will definitely not end well. There is no chance that you will lose a lot of money this time.

However, just when these people were preparing to watch the show.

These soldiers also began to gather around.

"Ouch, gentlemen, you can't do this. We are an honest caravan, and our boss is also a martial artist. There is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Seeing Fang Yue, Mr. Zheng was unmoved, and immediately hurried Step forward to intercede.

In his opinion, Fang Wuju was a martial arts scholar after all, and he was definitely unwilling to bow his head because he had a great reputation.

But many times you have to be timid.

As soon as I heard that there were military officers in this convoy, the soldiers' movements suddenly stopped.

However, the leading soldier immediately said: "You are enforcing the law impartially, how can you back down because of the identity of the other party. Besides, since you are a martial arts practitioner, you should cooperate and set an example."

After hearing this, the surrounding soldiers continued to surround him.

The soldiers of Shanyang Mansion are not afraid of the martial arts people from other places.

"My car is full of genuine goods, and there is no contraband at all." Seeing this, Mr. Zheng, the escort, quickly continued with a smile.

"Haha, I said there are contraband in this car, then there is contraband. Go and remove all the goods, open them and dump them on the open space, and check them slowly."

The leading soldier sneered.

This is a dilemma. If all the goods of more than ten trucks are dumped out, can they still be sold?

If there are inspections, they are usually random inspections.

Doing this now is obviously targeted.

However, Fang Yue remained unmoved.

"Why are you still standing there? Give it all to me."

The leading soldier's eyes narrowed and he was about to let his men take action.

However, at this moment, another soldier came from a distance.

The leading soldier seemed to notice the situation here and rushed over immediately. When he saw Fang Yue in the crowd, he was obviously stunned, and then quickly whispered a few words in the ear of the previous soldier.

"Tsk, tsk, you really don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences in front of you. Young man, teach you to be a good boy, and be more honest when you go out in the future."

At the same time, Fan Sanshan came over just now and looked at Fang Yue and smiled.

However, just when he thought these soldiers were going to punish Fang Yue.

The next moment.

"Stop it all!"

Fan Sanshan didn't even react to the sudden turn of events.

At this time, the leading soldier rushed to Fang Yue: "What a misunderstanding, misunderstanding. We were also deceived, so we bumped into you, sir. Please don't take it personally."

Fang Yue is a military officer, and this soldier has no official position, so it is reasonable to call Fang Yue "sir".

However, ordinary martial arts practitioners from other places would not be treated like this in Shanyang Mansion.

"It's all the instigation like you, you bitch, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!" The leading soldier caught a glimpse of Fan Sanshan next to him, and rushed over to him, beating him with fists and kicks.

"You guys, go check the Sanfu Chamber of Commerce's fleet. They are definitely not clean. This will limit others."

This scene immediately shocked everyone around him.

But after a while, these people also came to their senses. It must be that Fang Yue's identity is extraordinary, and he must be more powerful than the Sanfu Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, these soldiers would not be like this.

Sanfu Chamber of Commerce has hit a brick wall this time, and will definitely be punished this time.

However, these Fang Yue naturally didn’t know.

After that, soldiers took them directly into the city.

There is no need to inspect the goods, there is no need to pay city fees, and there is no need to queue up. You can go directly into the city.

After entering Shanyang City, we quickly arrived at the Yuezhong Mountain Tea Shop.

At this time, the old bodyguard Zheng and others were still in shock. They didn't know how the boss made those soldiers change their attitude.

Finally I knew why, it turned out that their goods were delivered here!

~~~~~~

"Brother Fang is finally here. It's so hard for me to wait for my brother."

Just after nightfall, Fatty Bai took Fang Yue out.

The euphemistic name is to help Fang Yue catch the wind and wash away the dust.

But he took Fang Yue to the Qinghuai River and boarded a building boat.

"Come on, brother Fang, try the special dishes here. This is called a gathering of heroes. You and I have joined forces and now have the entire high-end tea market in Shanyang Prefecture. Aren't the two of us a gathering of heroes?"

Bai Xingqiu introduced enthusiastically.

While talking, he also picked up the clear green wine pot: "This is the Emperor's Yuye Wine. It is said to have been circulated from the Emperor's Court of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is a real fine wine."

Fang Yue looked at the cyan and red radish strips on the plate. Sure enough, there was a gathering of heroes.

There was also this palace jade wine. Fang Yue took a sip and found it to be better than expected.

Some kind of wild fruit is also added to it, giving it a unique fruity aroma.

But it definitely didn't spread among the imperial court.

The guests and hosts enjoy a meal together.

After dinner, I ordered some refreshments.

"Brother Fang, the highlight is next. There is a grand event here tonight. Brother Fang is lucky, and we just happened to catch it." Bai Xingqiu said mysteriously.

When Fang Yue heard this, he immediately thought that it might be some kind of oiran convention.

I remember that when this fat white man was in Xiahe County, he always said that he would take him to Fucheng to visit brothels.

I've been having Yang for a while, and I always feel like my memory has declined, and my ability to update is really weak. It was finally restored today, and double updates will resume from tomorrow. Finally, at the end of the month, I’m asking for a monthly pass.
