Chapter 29: The prosperity of Yancheng

The eldest lady spoke mercilessly. Teng Fang, who was covered in dust, lowered his head awkwardly. Only from the side could he see the veins on his temples bulging.

"Miss, on behalf of Zuojia Village, I thank you for your help. We will make way for you so that you can go out of the city with people to hunt." Zuo Feng said loudly at this time, and gave his sister a color at the right time.

Zuo Tiantian was very smart and immediately understood. He whispered in the girl's ear: "He is my eldest brother."

After hearing Zuo Tiantian's words, the girl was stunned and looked back at Zuo Feng. Her originally unhappy face was slightly relieved, and she made a slight "hmm" sound in her mouth, which was considered a response to Zuo Feng's words. Even so, it was much better than Teng Fang being ridiculed by a lot of sarcastic words.

"Little sister, what is your name? Have you been to Yancheng before?" When she turned her head, she immediately changed her appearance, leaving the people around speechless.

"My name is Zuo Tiantian, he is my brother Zuo Feng, we are both in Yancheng for the first time. Beautiful sister, what is your name?" Zuo Tiantian answered the girl's words obediently, and asked the girl's name intentionally or unintentionally, and deliberately introduced his brother.

"Hehe, you are still more beautiful. My name is Anya, you can call me Sister Anya or Sister An. Since you have never been to Yancheng, why not take you to Yancheng to play around."

After Anya's words fell, Tiantian was a little at a loss, after all, he was only a ten-year-old girl. It's okay to let him play a little smart in front of a bunch of relatives, but she was a little panicked when she was asked to go to a place she was not familiar with with strangers.

Tiantian thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "Sister An, can I go to play with you another day?"

After hearing this, Anya pouted like a child, nodded reluctantly, and then put Zuo Tiantian gently on the ground with a look of reluctance.

"Miss, look at this man..." the leader of the city guards asked with courage.

"Are you all deaf? I told you to hang him on the city gate. If you miss one hour in three days, you will go back to patrol the night." Anya was depressed and had no place to vent. The captain seemed to deliberately punish Waizui and asked at this time.

"Miss, I am the commander of Zhang Yu. Please let me go this time for his sake."

Waizui could no longer hold back and crawled a few steps to Anya and begged.

Anya only glanced at Waizui lying in front of her with the corner of her eyes. She had an uncontrollable love for beautiful things, and she was extremely disgusted with this ugly soldier. She said coldly.

"Hmph, Commander Zhang Yu, why do you still want to use him to pressure me?"

"I dare not, I dare not. I just hope you can..."

"Is Zhang Yu in charge of Yancheng now? How come I don't know. Since Zhang Yu can't manage his dog, I will discipline him properly."

An Ya's tone was cold, and it also revealed the majesty and momentum of a noble family. She paused and continued.

"Drag this man away, first give him thirty lashes, and then hang him up."

"Miss."

"Oh, too little? Then forty lashes."

The blood on Waizui's face had faded at this moment, and he opened his mouth several times like a fish, but he couldn't make any sound anyway.

The fifth elder hurriedly walked to the captain, handed over a small bag of coins that he had held in his hand, and also presented a piece of paper with a list of all the people.

With Miss Anya present, the group of soldiers were very efficient. Each person whose name was called received an exquisite identity iron plate, and then walked into the city.

Anya and the others also rode on horses. Anya on horseback looked back at Zuo Tiantian who was waving goodbye to her, and felt reluctant to leave.

When she saw the people from Zuojia Village slowly entering the city, she hesitated for a moment and said loudly: "I don't want to hunt today, go back to the mansion."

The group of guards seemed to have long been accustomed to the eldest lady's temper of changing orders every day. Without saying a word, they turned their horses' heads and headed into the city. At this time, the crooked mouth was being whipped, and he kept howling in his mouth, but the eldest lady Anya lowered her head and didn't say a word, not even looking at him.

The people from Zuojia Village passed through the dark city gate. When the scenery in the city came into view, Zuo Feng couldn't help holding his breath.

Opposite the city gate was a street paved with bluestone, which was five or six feet wide. The street was very lively. There were all kinds of small buildings on both sides of the street, a scene of prosperity and prosperity. This was the first time Zuo Feng entered such a big city, and naturally he was full of emotion.

A team of several hundred people marched on the road. After a night of rushing and dressed like poor mountain people, they attracted the attention of countless people on the road.

Yancheng was indeed very large. It took half an hour to walk from the city gate to the old house in the west city. Although Teng Xiaoyun had bought more than ten old houses before, because there were too many people, several families had to share one room, and six or seven families shared one house.

Shen Die naturally still lived with Zuo Feng's family, and Zuo Hou's family was also assigned to live in the same house with them. Although the conditions were a bit worse, thinking of the villages that were massacred, there was no more complaint.

"Zuo Hou, call our people and go out together. Remember to bring the spoils you seized before."

Zuo Hou shouted excitedly, rushed out of the house, and went to find the other friends.

"We have just settled down here at home, and there are still many things to do. I will stay here to help my uncle and aunt. Tiantian has been clamoring to go to the streets. You can take her with you."

Zuo Feng nodded sheepishly. He should be doing the work at home. But Chen Die, this girl Bingxue, is smart and considerate, and she offered to take over the job without asking Zuo Feng to ask.

"Then...then thank you for your hard work. If there is anything you need to bring, I can bring it back for you."

Chen Die smiled and shook his head, pointed outside the room and said, "Go quickly, they are all waiting for you."

Zuo Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, whispered "Thank you" in a low voice, lowered his head and left the room. Zuo Tiantian, who was in the yard, jumped for joy when she heard that her brother was taking her shopping.

Treasure Shop, Baicao Society, Yanfei Trading Shop.

Looking at the tall buildings, Zuo Feng and the group of teenagers behind him hesitated. They were all entering the city for the first time and had no idea what to do with some of the items in their hands next.

"Go to the trading house first, get rid of the extra weapons and other things, and help everyone find some guys who can take advantage of them."

As he spoke, Zuo Feng pointed at the Yanfei Trading Company. This trading house was opened in Yancheng, and its name also contained the word "Yan". Zuo Feng guessed that this trading house must be somewhat famous in Yancheng.

A large group of teenagers entered the trading house in a mighty manner. The trading house was much more spacious than Zuo Feng had imagined. There was a gorgeously dressed girl greeting customers behind the counter everywhere. There is a small sign on each counter indicating what items the counter is specialized in.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Feng roughly understood something, and led a group of teenagers behind him towards a counter with "Arms Trading" written on it.

Although the woman behind the counter was not very beautiful, her gorgeous clothes and her elegant temperament made a group of teenagers stunned.

The woman saw that these young men were dressed in shabby clothes, but she did not show any disgust. She said in a gentle tone: "Do you want to trade weapons? Are you planning to buy some weapons that you already have, or do you have weapons that you want to sell? We have quality here. Good weapons for sale.”

"We want to sell some weapons first and then take a look at what you have here."

The woman was not surprised when Zuo Feng said this. Although the boy in front of him was only thirteen or fourteen years old, there were many people who came here to trade who were younger than Zuo Feng.

"Bang, bang."

Two heavy packages were placed on the counter, which surprised the woman this time. After opening one of the packages and checking it briefly, the girl smiled and said.

"All of them are fine weapons made of fine iron, and several of them are made by the largest 'Tiangong Weapon Refining Shop' in Yancheng. Ordinary fine iron weapons cost five silver coins each, and those of the 'Tiangong Weapon Refining Shop' "The weapons cost ten silver coins each."

"Tiangong Weapon Refining Shop" Zuo Feng repeated the name in a low voice. He wanted to take out his black short blade and let this woman identify it. But he quickly suppressed this idea. Listening to the tone of his master's introduction, he probably knew that his short blade had a lot of background, and it was definitely not a wise move to reveal it here.

"Well, the price is quite reasonable. Let's exchange these weapons for silver coins, and then we'll take a look at your products."

"Okay, then let me calculate the prices of your weapons first. After you choose the weapons you like, you can directly deduct them from your income. Of course, you can also look at the products at other counters."

The girl explained the transaction method very fluently. Zuo Feng nodded slightly and said to Zuo Hou beside him: "Their prices are quite reasonable. You just take a few of them to choose here. I will take Tiantian to other places." Turn around.”

Seeing Zuo Hou and others nodding, Zuo Feng picked up his sister and prepared to leave. But when he turned back, he found that people at several counters around him were looking at him carefully. When they saw him looking at him, they pretended to be shopping for goods and immediately turned away.

Zuo Feng narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

‘Is it related to that crooked mouth? ’

Zuo Feng couldn't help but think of the crooked soldier when he entered the city, and also thought of the "Vice Commander Zhang Yu" he once mentioned. It seemed that even if he entered Yancheng, he might not be able to live in peace.

‘It seems that there are more than one wave following me and others. ’

Zuo Feng came to this conclusion based on the expressions and positions of those who observed him. After thinking for a moment, he whispered "Miss Anya" softly.
