Vol 2 Chapter 2347: Meng word

Qingzhou, one of Kyushu.

The vast land and abundant resources.

After Zichen crossed the canyon, he arrived at the boundary of Qingzhou.

The spiritual power between heaven and earth is slightly stronger than that of Jizhou, but it is also limited.

The people who came and went in the caravan chatted about the rumors about the Land of Sealing Demons.

When the news reached here, there were only rumors left.

Most of them are rumors.

Zi Chen wanted to join a caravan, but was rejected, even if he gave money, even if he showed a little bit of strength.

Usually this trick works.

Still not working!

Zichen tried to join several caravans again, but still failed. It seemed that after reaching Qingzhou border, all the caravans became vigilant.

After being rejected several times, Zi Chen also learned that the nearest city, three hundred miles away, is just a small town for businessmen to rest.

Zichen lived here for a day and never heard any rumors about the families.

The big city is thousands of miles away, called Mengye City, Zi Chen is not in a hurry, so he tries to follow a caravan, and inquire about the customs and customs here, as well as the branches of other forces along the way.

I looked here before, but I didn't find the mark of the Mythological Alliance.

The result is still rejected.

"Are you going to Mengye City?"

A young man came from the opposite side.

Zi Chen nodded.

"Every time the caravan travels to and from Mengye City, the number of people is fixed. Unless they are familiar people, outsiders will not be allowed to join." The young man said.

"Why?" Zi Chen was puzzled.

"I'm afraid of being calculated. After all, there are many robbers along the way. Maybe there are people arranged by the robbers to step on the spot in advance." The young man smiled and said, "My name is Chen Fan, and I am going to Mengye City. If you don't mind, The two of us can form a team, and we can take care of each other."

Of course Zi Chen had no objection.

Early the next morning, the two met.

Chen Fan was carrying a black package and was squatting at the gate of the town. When he saw Zi Chen, he immediately waved to him.

Other caravans were also gathering around, and it seemed chaotic at the moment.

"Let's go faster."

As soon as the two left the town, Chen Fan quickened his speed and at the same time told Zi Chen some rules on the road.

For example, if you encounter a caravan, if you are in a hurry, you can just take a detour and leave. If you are not in a hurry to follow, you must be at least five miles away from the caravan, and the distance cannot be any closer.

"There must be at least ten miles between caravans and caravans."

Zichen asked the reason, and Chen Fan explained, "Because the merchants in the caravan may become robbers in a sudden change, everyone is on guard against each other. At the same time, keeping a distance can also serve as a warning. For example, the caravan in front is intercepted." , the caravan behind will have a chance to escape.”

"Why didn't we join hands to drive away the robbers?"

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "There are too many concerns, and we don't trust each other."

Zi Chen nodded, expressing his understanding.

If a businessman could turn into a robber at any time, it would be better to stay out of the house and mind his own business.

Because no one can guarantee that if you step forward to help and drive away the robbers after paying a high price, will the rescued caravan become a new robber.

Experience is accumulated and precipitated, so Zi Chen can be sure that such things must have happened many times in the past.

So much so that the current caravans are all sweeping the snow.

Travel two hundred miles that day.

On the evening of the third day, Zi Chen saw a caravan that was wiped out. There were a total of one hundred and ten people, all of whom were slaughtered.

Dozens of men in black rode tall horses, with terrifying and murderous aura surging around them.

The passing caravans stopped one after another, terrified.

"My name is Heilong. Starting today, caravans passing by must pay 20% of the toll!"

The leader, holding a long gun and wearing a man on it, was the one responsible for destroying the caravan. He said indifferently, "This is the end of resistance!"

Everyone in the caravan turned pale.

"You can try to escape and see who is faster."

After the voice fell, some tall horses also appeared in several other directions. The total number of people may be more than a hundred.

An old man stood up, saluted at the other party first, and then said: "My lord, can you pay 10% first, and give another 10% when you come back?"

The spear flashed past, and the old man split into two.

Blood splattered, and the others dared not speak out.

I can only obediently pay.

Chen Fan looked at the robbers with an indifferent expression, "Kill the chickens and take the eggs! Business was difficult in the past, but there are still some to do. From now on, the businessmen on this line may disappear."

Zi Chen looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan said: "When they arrive in Mengye City, they still have to spend 20%."

"Why?"

"Protection fees!"

Zi Chen was stunned, so protective?

The businessmen have already started to pay, and no one dares to comment.

"Others, one thousand tolls each!"

This is for some passers-by without a caravan.

Including Zi Chen and Chen Fan.

"I'll dig it out for you, and I'll give it to you later. If you take things directly from the storage bag, you will be missed."

Chen Fan walked forward.

The caravan paid and left, and the bodies remained there.

After the robbers also left, Chen Fan piled up the corpses and pushed the chariots over to pile them up.

The supplies have long been taken away by the Black Dragon.

Zi Chen watched from the side, but didn't step forward to help.

Flames burn.

The raging fire covered the burning clouds in the sky.

Although the money was paid, everyone felt uneasy, and it was dark, so they stopped moving forward, and bonfires were lit everywhere, spreading like a fire dragon.

Chen Fan took out dry food from his bag and ate it alone.

Zi Chen took out the Zijin gourd, took a sip of the wine, and then took out a piece of jerky to heat up, "It's always been like this here?"

"It's been more than ten years."

"No one cares?"

"Mengye City used to be responsible for this matter, but after the sudden death of the city lord of Mengye City more than ten years ago, this place has become like this."

"The new city lord doesn't care?"

Chen Fan sneered, "That kind of big man only cares about making money, and doesn't care about other people's lives."

The next day, the black dragon brought people to kill him again.

A caravan was directly destroyed, regardless of men, women, or children, all were killed, leaving no one alive.

His reason was that the amount given by the other party was wrong, not 20% of the supplies.

As a result, all caravans had to give another 20%.

Passers-by, including Zi Chen, gave another thousand spiritual coins.

At this moment, it is less than two hundred miles away from Mengye City, which shows how arrogant these robbers are.

The people in the caravan gave money to the passers-by, and after the people from Heilong left, everyone started to curse at the caravan for being fraudulent, which caused them to lose two more money, and they had to die.

Zi Chen smiled when he heard that.

Such an excuse can be found casually.

If the distance is longer, maybe the other party will come again, and they will use another excuse.

Chen Fan gathered the corpses together again and lit a fire.

Zi Chen still didn't help.

At night, the long queue was still there, and the bonfire where the two were located was several miles away from other places.

"Zi Chen, today you watch the first half of the night, and I will watch the second half."

Even if the flames form a long dragon at night, in this environment, everyone must be careful, and vigil is a must.

Zichen nodded.

Chen Fan leaned to the side, lying directly in the shadows.

Zi Chen couldn't be sure whether the other party was really asleep, so he picked up the flagon and drank.

In the past few days, the two of them did not give in to each other, each eating their own food and drinking their own wine.

The bonfire was flickering, and Chen Fan seemed to have moved a bit, and Zi Chen took a look, like an illusion.

In the middle of the night, Chen Fan got up and signaled Zi Chen to rest.

When the sky brightened, the team in front suddenly stopped, and there was a faint exclamation.

I saw wooden stakes standing on the ground in front of me, and figures were inserted on the wooden stakes.

This time it wasn't the caravan people.

It's the Black Dragon gang!

More than a hundred people died.

Just when everyone was shocked, someone exclaimed, "Look, there are words!"

On the ground in front of him, there is a huge "Meng" character drawn.

It was drawn with blood.

"It's from the Meng family!"

Exclaim again.

Zi Chen noticed that the expressions of those merchants became very excited.

So he looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan said: "More than ten years ago, the lord of Mengye City died suddenly, and the Meng family was also purged by mysterious people overnight, but many people still took advantage of the chaos to escape. Every time it appears, a **** word 'Meng' will be left behind."

"Over the years, there are still caravans operating this business road. Apart from the huge profits, it is also related to the Meng family's occasional maintenance of law and order. This time, the people of the Meng family killed the black dragon, which is a great joy!"

Zi Chen nodded, finally encountered a not so bad thing. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Mengye City is a large city with a population of several million, and it is also the only city adjacent to Jizhou, so there are a lot of caravans coming and going.

There are guards in armor guarding the gate at the gate.

You have to pay to enter the city!

There is someone responsible.

Early in the morning, the city guards rode out of the city, mobilizing more than a thousand well-trained soldiers.

Caravans and passers-by in this direction of the border were all stopped for questioning.

It turned out that the city lord heard the news that there were robbers appearing on this commercial road, so he sent people out to suppress the bandits.

He said he was asking about the robbers, but he was actually inquiring about the Meng family.

Zi Chen and Chen Fei were also interrogated, and they told the truth.

After asking them one by one, they were all released.

At the gate of the city, Zi Chen saw two arrest warrants, both of which were members of the Meng family, and at first glance the crimes were full of crimes.

Those who entered the city had to pay an entrance fee of one hundred Lingqian, which was also a protection fee.

The guards sternly informed that hands are forbidden in the city, and those who violate the rules will be killed on the spot.

Not long after the two of them entered the city, they saw a young man from an aristocratic family charging a passerby with his horse. Before the passerby got up to ask for justice, he was beheaded with a sword.

"Blind your dog eyes, dare to block my way?"

The guards patrolling the city immediately ran over to clean up the corpses.

He turned a blind eye to the son of the family who galloped past him.

Someone next to him muttered a few words, but the guards took him into the cell for disturbing the law and order.

Life and death are unpredictable.

Zichen has a deeper understanding of this city, and even the customs of Qingzhou.

Zi Chen had no place to stay yet, so he found the same inn as Chen Fan.

As soon as everything was settled, the city guards came.

On the grounds of investigation, Zi Chen and Chen Fan were taken away.
