Wei Feng set out in the early morning. According to his schedule, it would have only taken more than an hour to arrive. However, due to the delay of the teleportation gate, it was almost noon when he entered the city gate. He and the dog looked at each other in a tacit understanding. Go straight to the small restaurant in the county seat and ask about some things while eating.

I don't know if it was Zhai Zhiming's negligence or intentional. He didn't tell Wei Feng how to reach the capital. Wei Feng preferred the latter, because Zhai Zhiming didn't say more than this. He didn't even tell Wei Feng how to get there. His teacher, the tutor of the Academy is not someone that ordinary people can meet whenever they want, right?

It's not like Wei Feng hasn't considered this issue. Perhaps in his mind, it's a test for a native boy like Wei Feng to arrive at Tianyang City alone. After all, the so-called accommodation fee he gave can amount to more than ten taels of silver. It's hard to guarantee that Wei Feng didn't mean to make trouble for Wei Feng. How could someone who could get into the Academy act like a fool and act without thinking.

Since Wei Feng doesn't think it's difficult to arrive at Tianyang City on time, he doesn't bother to think about it. If you try your best, I'll deal with it directly.

In one meal, Wei Feng had almost finished asking questions.

For ordinary people in this world, there are basically three ways to travel: walking, public transportation, and hitchhiking.

There is no need to explain when walking; public transportation is ox-carts, donkey-carts, horse-drawn carriages, etc. If you don’t want to ride in a car, you can just ride an animal, as long as you can endure the bumps along the way; hitchhiking generally refers to traveling with a caravan, and the price depends on the amount paid. How much, the caravan will arrange for you to follow by car or on foot.

A carriage can travel anywhere from one hundred to three hundred miles in a day. Renting a carriage is the fastest way, but its ability to withstand risks is weaker. It is safer to follow a caravan, but the caravan's limit is a hundred miles a day.

This place is six thousand miles away from Tianyang City. No matter which way, it will probably take a month to arrive at the fastest, and it will take two or three months at a slower time. If there are any problems on the road, can we make it in time for the early September? The Academy Entrance Examination is a problem.

After all, this is Wei Feng's first trip. Although his combat power is much stronger than ordinary people now, considering that there are such things as practitioners in this world, Wei Feng still plans to follow the caravan for a while to be on the safe side. It would be best if the journey goes smoothly. , if things don’t go his way, it’s not too late to choose to act alone.

Sanglin County is affiliated to Changping County, which in turn is affiliated to Yanzhou. Changping County is one of the largest cities in Yanzhou.

Because it is backed by hundreds of thousands of barren mountains, there are abundant natural resources of all kinds, and transportation and commerce are also very developed. There is an endless stream of caravans coming to Changping County from all over the year, and traveling from Changping County to other places throughout the year.

The caravan heading to the capital Tianyang City was not difficult to find in Changping County. Wei Feng took the carriage directly to Changping. Sanglin County was only two hours away.

"Today's weather is weirdly tight. Why does it keep raining every now and then..." Halfway through the journey, the driver driving in front muttered softly.

These words also reached Wei Feng's ears, and he chuckled. Although the gray dog ​​in his arms didn't know what he was laughing at, he grinned and narrowed his eyes in cooperation.

Seeing Cang Gou's naive appearance, Wei Feng laughed even more happily, but when he thought of something, his laughter gradually subsided. He suddenly realized that there are practitioners in this world, since ordinary coachmen can realize this. There is something strange under the rain, is it possible for a high-end practitioner to spot it directly?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. After all, this was not an ability obtained from the job transfer altar, but a talent that belonged to him. That could not rule out the possibility that other people also had talents.

I made up my mind to reduce the use of Magic Mist Rain as much as possible on the way, especially after arriving at Tianyang City. Before testing the practitioner's ability, he should not control the rainfall at will. At best, he could sense it when it rains naturally.

The bumpiness of the carriage was far beyond Wei Feng's imagination. When the horse started trotting, if it encountered a slightly bumpy road, Wei Feng's butt would be bumped out of the carriage. This reminded him of when he was riding a bus in the countryside when he was a child, sitting in the back Platoon experience.

There are not many weeds poking out on both sides of the official road, and the ruts on the road are extremely deep, which shows that there are a lot of passengers on this road, and most of them are horse-drawn carriages transporting goods.

There are many silkworm-raising workshops in Sanglin County. The silk produced over the years is transferred through Changping and supplied to all parts of the country. Therefore, there are many wealthy households in Sanglin County. In addition, there are many villagers in the nearby villages and towns of Sanglin County. They make a living by hunting, and a lot of animal skins are sold every year.

"Sir, Changping County has arrived." He rushed to the destination without stopping. The coachman opened the curtain, squeezed a smile on his dark and wrinkled face, and looked at Wei Feng expectantly.

Wei Feng whispered a few times into Cang Gou's ear. After getting its reply, he counted out one hundred coins from the small purse hanging around its neck and handed it to the coachman. The agreed price was eighty coins, and the extra twenty coins were given. Wen was considered as compensation for letting him get wet in the rain along the way.

The coachman took the money, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little sincere. He kept saying auspicious words and watched Wei Feng get out of the car and drive away. Then he turned around and returned to Sanglin County.

The carriage belongs to the owner, and the coachman is only responsible for driving the carriage. The fare needs to be handed over to the owner when he returns. He only receives the wages paid by the owner every month, but the tips he received today can all go into his personal pocket. 20 Wen , quite a few.

The extra income was good, and it didn't rain again on the return trip, which made the coachman feel even better.

On the other side, Wei Feng followed the queue of people into Changping County.

The control of civilians in this world seems to be very loose. As long as you are not carrying controlled weapons when entering the city for inspection, you will basically not be stopped for identity verification.

The so-called controlled weapons are bows and crossbows. Ordinary swords are only registered and are not prohibited from being brought into the city. Many people choose to bring a knife for self-defense when going out.

After entering the city gate, there are various vendors on both sides of the street, most of which sell food.

There are many special snacks in Changping County, because the caravans coming from all over the world stay here for a period of time every year, and over time they bring here the special delicacies from different places.

As soon as Cang Gou entered the city, he kept twitching his little nose. His round eyes never left the snacks placed by the vendors on both sides. Before he walked a few steps, he used his two front paws to grab Wei Feng's legs. , looked at him eagerly.

Of course Wei Feng knew what it meant. He squatted down and took out the small purse from its neck, took out some copper coins and pinched it in his hand, then hung the purse on his waist.

He was holding copper coins in his right hand. Whichever vendor Cang Gou looked at, he went to buy a bag from that vendor. Not long after, all the copper coins in his right hand had been exchanged for snacks in his left hand. However, Wei Feng did not hand it to Cang Gou directly. Give it a little comfort to calm it down.

Behind him, several pairs of malicious eyes were already staring at him, but they all hesitated and did not act. Wei Feng seemed unaware and just walked forward.
