In the scorching sun, Li Erniu and his companions walked on the crowded streets, vigilantly observing everything around them.
Three days have passed since they left the Yunling Mountains and came here. After they crossed the wheat field that shocked them, they soon saw the city surrounded by endless waves of wheat.
The city is very simple, made entirely of huge rocks, and is comparable to what Yunzhou County was six years ago.
But in terms of population and prosperity, this city has far more people and is more prosperous than the former Yunzhou County.
Of course, that was in the past, and the current Yunzhou County has changed with the growth of population and the prosperity of all walks of life in recent years.
But the prosperity of this city shocked Li Erniu and others.
The streets are packed with people, and there are vendors selling food and various groceries on both sides of the street.
The men all wear a white headscarf that looks like a coil of cloth. The women cover their faces with a veil, but they are dressed in gold and silver. Most of them have nails on the bridge of their noses and ears. .
On the roadside, someone was flying around with a piece of cake. The cake was held by a string in his hand, and it would not fly out no matter how hard he shook it, but was firmly controlled by him.
The flying cake stall next door sells a pot of yellowish paste. The way they sell it is also very strange. The customer gives the stall owner an earthen jar, and then the stall owner directly takes out a few handfuls of paste and puts it into the jar. The customer Money or other things of equal value will be given to the stall owner according to the portion.
Oh, right!
Their money is also very special. They do not use copper, but only gold and silver. They will make gold and silver into small round and flat coins for use.
However, most of the people who use gold and silver are wealthy people, and the common people at the bottom seem to be still in the stage of bartering.
Thinking about money...
Li Erniu subconsciously reached out and touched his sleeve pocket, and found a heavy bag of coins.
A few days ago, the team leader took them to find an opportunity to deal with a local who seemed to be quite wealthy, and obtained a large amount of coins.
It's a pity that they can't speak their own language and can't go out and use it alone, but this is gold and silver and can be taken back for use.
When dividing the money among them, the team leader said that it was everyone’s extra money and they didn’t need to hand it over.
The group continued to walk forward for about half an hour. In a deserted alley, the leader suddenly raised his right hand, and everyone behind him immediately stopped.
Just listen to the team leader say: "Okay, after three days of exploration, we have a general understanding of the city's situation. When you go back today, you will each draw a sketch of the city's boundaries according to your memory and give it to me. After we put it together, we can get a complete map. The layout of the city.
By the way, you must draw some of the places I took you to two days ago that I reminded you are important areas. They are most likely government offices in this city. "
"yes!"
Everyone agreed in unison, and then followed the leader back to where they were staying.
They settled in a large courtyard in a remote area of the city. As for its original owner, let us thank the unknown landowner and his servants who arranged their home in a remote area, and wish them all the best in their next life.
If it weren't for the remote location and just the right size, they wouldn't have set their sights on it. Just because the conditions were suitable in all aspects, they requisitioned this courtyard.
As for whether the original owner agrees or not, there is no need to consider this issue. It is a matter for his next life.
After leaving the ravine, they contacted the other ten teams through special means. They also found some cities there, so after discussion, everyone decided to continue to act separately and observe clearly the details of all the forces outside the Yunling Mountains. Condition.
There is no need for any detailed information. It is enough to know roughly where the official offices of these cities are, have a clear understanding of the inside of the city, and know how many troops there are in the city, so that the subsequent army will not be blinded.
The rest can be completely returned to the escort army who will be on the expedition to deal with it.
Their team is currently the fastest. With the team leader's uncompromising methods, they found a place to stay the fastest and obtained a certain amount of start-up funds.
And quickly explored the layout of all the garrison in the entire city.
Of course, they are different from the locals. The skin of the locals is very dark, as if they have been exposed to the sun all year round. When he thought of this, Li Erniu subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Well, that's true, no wonder they're so dark.
Racial differences and language barriers can easily lead to their exposure.
In order to solve this problem, they directly arrested a person. After being educated in physics and morality, and under the threat of death, the native miraculously understood what they meant and provided them with a cover.
Soon, a strange news spread in the city of Calidu. Relatives of Nuraka Sasha from other cities came to Calidu. They were all a group of weirdos. They wrapped themselves in cloth all day long to prevent outsiders from seeing them.
Since Shendu is associated with many religious sects, Shendu people often dress themselves up in strange ways because of some of the rules of the sect.
And this just gave Li Erniu and the others a cover.
People only thought that these strange relatives of Nuraka Sasha believed in some strange sect and needed believers to do this. This allowed them to complete their tasks as if no one else was around.
After the mission was completed, the team leader immediately went outside the city to send a signal.
The group waited for another three days before getting responses from others. According to the news sent back, they were almost done.
So everyone agreed to meet again in the forest where they were scattered three days later.
After staying for another two days, the group began to pack up and prepare to leave early in the morning.
Li Erniu was packing his things, especially those gold and silver coins, which were the extra money he had earned this time and he couldn't lose them.
At this moment, the team leader suddenly came over and asked everyone with a frown: "Which of you saw the native who was working for us this morning?"
Everyone recalled it, and then someone immediately replied: "I didn't see him last night."
The leader's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly. Although this native was stupid, this kind of abnormal situation had never happened before.
Therefore, the team leader guessed that there was only one possibility, and that was that something had happened to this native!
Feeling more and more uneasy, the team leader immediately asked, "Have you packed everything?"
Everyone replied that they had finished cleaning up, and the team leader immediately said to everyone: "Now that we have packed up, we will set off immediately. The guy who worked for us did not come back all night. Maybe he has been caught by now. We can't stay here any longer. We will immediately Just leave!”
Everyone also knew the seriousness of the matter, so they took their belongings and left without delay.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and there were violent collisions!
Everyone looked at each other and immediately took out their weapons and stood ready!
