Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After staying in Pingan Town for one night, on the second day, several important figures from the caravan, Lu Shaoyu and others, accompanied Wan Shengcai on a luxurious carriage and drove towards Tianshui City.  In the carriage, everyone was silent. They had nothing to talk about and closed their eyes to rest.  Lu Shaoyu sat up cross-legged and silently practiced his skills.  Fang Yi, on the other hand, looked left and right, sometimes lifting the car curtain to watch the rapidly retreating scenery outside, sometimes holding the strange stone and sticking out his tongue to take a sip, as if he was enjoying the endless taste, with a face full of intoxication.  His appearance attracted Wan Shengcai and others to cast strange glances.  Tianshui City is not far from Ping'an Town. The horse-drawn carriage is speeding. At this speed, it can be reached in one day.  In the evening, the carriage finally arrived outside Tianshui City.  Compared with the big cities we have seen before, Tianshui City is obviously much larger. The towering city wall is like a prostrate dragon, coiling and extending, and is dozens of miles long.  The city wall is six feet high, towering like a giant. The setting sun is blocked, leaving a dark shadow.  The city gate is more than ten feet wide, like the open mouth of a giant beast. It is dark and can accommodate a dozen carriages driving in at the same time.  According to Wan Shengcai¡¯s introduction, this Tianshui City has a permanent population of more than 600,000. In addition, there is a canal dug here that connects several water bodies, and several major commercial roads intersect here.  It has an advantageous geographical location and convenient transportation. There are as many merchants and traders as there are crucian carp crossing the river. It has a large floating population and a large flow of people. It is estimated that the entire city has a population of no less than one million.  This is a prosperous city!  There are three main forces in this city, namely the Wan family, the He family, and another force that exists in the form of a gang - the Tiansha Gang.  Hejia¡¯s main businesses were ore smelting and weapons casting, and later they began to get involved in the lucrative salt business.  Wanjia has various groceries, salt, daily necessities, ceramics, cloth, medicinal materials everything is included.  However, the Tiansha Gang has a monopoly on land and water transportation in the entire Tianshui City and the surrounding area. More than 95% of the large sailing ships seen on the water and the loading carriages traveling on land are driven by Tiansha.  Gang of swordfish semaphore emblem.  The three families check and balance each other. The He family and the Wan family are at odds with each other because of their interests. However, the Tiansha Gang has no feud with the two families and has business dealings with each other.  Because the He family and Wan family have a lot of goods that are transported by the Tiansha Gang.  The He family and the Wan family intend to recruit the Tiansha Gang to attack each other, but the Tiansha Gang is neither close nor offending, and has always maintained a neutral state.  However, no matter whether it is the Tiansha Gang, the He family or the Wan family, 10% of the net business profits must be handed over to the Tang family every year.  After all, the Tang family is the boss in the entire Anzhou Prefecture. If these small families want to live in Anzhou, they have to look up to them and spend money to buy peace.  The carriage slowed down and prepared to enter the city.  "Drive! Drive! Drive!" At this moment, there was a burst of shouting from behind, and then there was the sound of horse hooves galloping towards them.  There were at least a dozen people in this group, and their horses were as strong as flying, galloping over quickly.  Fang Yi was curious and raised the window to look outside. Lu Shaoyu also looked outside.  I saw among the group of people who were speeding up, the first two were young men in brocade robes, about twenty years old. One of them was covered in red and purple robes, with the hem flying in the wind, while the other was covered in green and graceful.  Behind the two men were ten black-armored warriors holding iron halberds. These warriors were covered in black armor from their feet to their bodies. Except for the heads above the neck, the rest were all covered in black armor, airtight.  They all have a long halberd in their hands, the mouth of the halberd is sharp and gleaming with cold light. The horses under them are also covered in black armor.  People and horses seem to be connected together!  When these black-armored warriors galloped, they had a chilling air.  Among these ten black-armored knights, they were all Houtian realm warriors.  Looking out of the car window, when Wan Sheng saw the two young men in brocade robes, his face changed slightly, a little confused and unnatural.  Especially when he saw the young man in green robes, he was obviously displeased and disgusted.  They saw people outside the car. People outside the car saw them through the car window. When the young man in green robe saw Wan Shengcai in the car, he was stunned for a moment, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.  "Pa!" The young man in green clamped the horse's belly and deliberately leaned towards the carriage. When approaching the horses pulling the carriage in front, the whip was raised in the air and swung straight down. He was originally going to hit the horse he was riding.  But when it was halfway down, the whip suddenly turned upside down and swept sideways. There was only a "snap" sound, and the whip hit the eye of the horse pulling the carriage.  The force of this whip was strong, and the intensity was just right. It hit the horse's eyes without blinding it, but it made the horse hurt and frightened.  "Xilulu!" The horse was frightened, raised its hooves, ran sideways, and scurried away.?.  The four horses pulling the carriage were connected together, and the other three horses also shouted. After a moment of panic, the carriage instantly went sideways, and the coachman couldn't control it even if he wanted to.  Although the carriage slowed down, it was still traveling at a slow speed. The carriage suddenly turned sideways and rolled over at such a rapid speed.  "Be careful." Everyone in the car shouted. Lu Shaoyu took Fang Yi and rushed out of the car first. Wan Shengcai also pulled Wan Fubao out and several others jumped out one after another.  The carriage made a "bang" sound and overturned outside the city gate.  The car body was solid and not broken, but it raised a large amount of dust.  Fortunately, the people in the car were all very skilled people and could jump out in time when the car fell. No one was injured, and even the coachman escaped in time.  "He Tianyi, you" Wan Shengcai stared at the young man in green robe with resentment in his eyes.  Something happened at the city gate. Another young man in purple robes hurriedly stopped his horse. The other ten black-armored warriors also stopped. Although they were all galloping, their stopped steps were uniform. They had obviously received special training.  of.  "Haha, it turns out to be Young Master Wan Er." The young man in green robe rode back to the young man in purple robe and stopped with a playful smile on his face. He stared at Wan Shengcai, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?  Your carriage skidded, why are you glaring at me? You bumped into Young Master Tang, why don't you come over and apologize?" When He Tian said Master Tang, Wan Shengcai was startled, his eyes froze for a moment, and then he turned to him.  The young man in purple shirt next to him, and then looking at the black-armored guards behind them, suddenly understood.  This young man should be from the Tang family of the Poison Sect. The black-armored warrior behind him is probably the black-armored guard of the Tang family.  It is early autumn now, and it is also the time when the annual tribute is agreed to be handed over to the Tang family. It is reasonable and reasonable for the Tang family to send a disciple to collect the tribute. No wonder I felt a little unfamiliar when I saw the young man just now. It turned out to be someone from the Tang family, and this  The young man is protected by a black-armored guard, and his status is extraordinary.  But why did he get together with He Tianyi?  Wan Shengcai suddenly became worried.  .  .
