Three days later, Chen Xing ran hundreds of kilometers continuously and arrived outside a small mountain village in Sagara Province, Qingguo.
Qingguo is a centralized system and adopts a provincial system. The regions are divided into provinces, cities, counties, counties and villages according to their size. It is very different from the Red Kingdom, which has a semi-feudal and semi-parliamentary system. The emperor of the Qing Kingdom has great power and there is no voice to compete with it in the country.
The regions of the Red Kingdom are divided into principalities, cities, large towns, edge towns, and villages. The principalities are equivalent to the provinces of the Green Kingdom, but are much larger and relatively independent and complete.
This is determined by the topography of Qingguo. The Qing Kingdom is mostly mountainous, with difficult transportation, low crop output, relatively scarce resources, and underdeveloped industry. The provinces need to rely on each other and cannot operate independently like the principality.
The Red Country is the most powerful country in the world and is known as the "darling of the gods". It has the most fertile and flat land, rich water and grass, and diverse products.
Although the Huang Kingdom sits on Dafangzhou and has the largest land area in the world, the semi-desert land is not suitable for farming and the output is not as good as that of the Qing Kingdom.
This is why the red clay wars in history were fought jointly by the blue and yellow countries against the red country. The combined population of the two countries is less than half that of the red country. If they don't unite, they will be defeated immediately.
Taking the Red Dragon Principality alone as an example, it is a medium-sized country on the eastern and western continents, and its national power can be imagined.
Chen Xing observed for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual in the mountain village, he left the woods and walked in.
As he suspected, Zhao Yuankai did not dare to make any public announcements because the reputation of the Seventh Princess was at stake. He only searched in a small area and did not conduct a large-scale wanted search.
He had eaten all the food he had brought, and was too lazy to hunt and barbecue by himself, so he was going to find some food in the village.
Walking into the small market in the mountain village, there were only a few lonely people. A few village women selling vegetables were chatting loudly, and from time to time they burst into laughter like a flash flood.
A small shop was half open and half closed, with a wooden board hanging at the door with the word "food" engraved on it.
"Is anyone there?" Chen Xing bent down and walked into the store. The unique smell of firewood in a country kitchen hit his nostrils, making people feel hungry.
"Come on, come on." An old man wearing an apron ran in from the back door with a kind face. He wiped his hands with his apron and asked enthusiastically, "Young man, what do you want to eat?"
The store was dark, with only two tables and a few benches. Chen Xing found a random place to sit down and said, "Anything is fine, bring whatever food you have."
"I just picked the blue bamboo shoots this morning, stir-fry them, and get some soy sauce-braised goose meat. It's very delicious. And the home-made kimchi is much more delicious than the factory products outside."
After a while, several hot Qingguo country dishes were placed on the table.
Chen Xing tried the fried blue bamboo shoots first, and they were indeed crispy and delicious. This is a specialty of Qing Country, the bamboo shoots of blue-spotted bamboo, which are said to be the cause of the formation of blue-blooded people.
Not only blue-blooded people, but also ordinary people in the Qing Kingdom love to eat it. Because most people with blue blood are nobles, many people think that eating blue bamboo shoots will gradually turn them into nobles.
The goose braised in soy sauce is also delicious, fat but not greasy, chewy and very enjoyable to eat.
"This is an old goose raised by myself. It is five or six years old. The meat is solid and tastes delicious." The old man was smoking a dry cigarette next to him and saying a few words from time to time.
After eating some more steamed rice noodles with minced meat, Chen Xing exhaled a long breath, feeling very satisfied.
"Old man, how much is it?" Chen Xing took out his wallet.
"Three coppers." The old man held out three fingers.
Chen Xing thought it was three silver coins, but he didn't expect it to be so cheap. It was only enough to buy a cup of milk tea or a sandwich in Longshi Town.
The mountain people in the Qing Country are relatively simple, and they will not intentionally raise prices to rip off foreigners when they meet them. This is not the case in the Red Country, where they will kill strangers whenever they see them. The most expensive hot dog sausage he had eaten in his previous life was two gold coins, and he pulled out a gun and started shooting him on the spot.
Come.
Chen Xing took out a gold coin and put it on the table.
"Oh, this is too big, I can't find it." The old man said sadly. One gold, ten silver, ten silver and one hundred coppers. The market had just opened in the morning and there were not so many copper plates.
"No need to look for it." Chen Xing said. Maybe I was hungry, but I felt that this meal tasted similar to Danjin Yijin Yigram's Shenshan Snowflake Beef. Anyway, it was delicious.
"Ah! This, this is impossible!" The old man refused quickly. One gold coin was almost half a month's income.
"Old man, are there any bigger cities near here?" Chen Xing asked.
"The closest one is Linzhi City. You have to take a bullock cart to the county, and then transfer to a bus to get there."
"Is anyone going there today?" Chen Xing asked. He had run hundreds of kilometers on two legs in the past three days and needed a rest.
"I'm going to ask." The old man left for a while and then came back, followed by a swarthy little fat man. "Hei Dan wants to deliver goods to the county. Sir, you can take his car."
A moment later, Chen Xing was lying on the bullock cart, holding a blade of grass in his mouth, leaning on the potato sack behind him, looking at the sky, leisurely.
The green mountains and green waters along the way make people feel relaxed and happy. Maybe one day when you are tired, you can come here to find a place to retire in the mountains and rivers. It seems very good.
Of course, women are indispensable, otherwise life will be boring, like waiting to die...
Two days later, Chen Xing came to nearby Chengshan County. Separate from Hei Dan and get on the bus. The car was filled with villagers carrying chicken coops and baskets. The car was filled with the smell of chicken feces and sweat, which was terrible.
I got to the station in Gunshang and transferred to the long-distance bus, which made me feel a lot more comfortable.
After wandering all the way, I finally arrived in Linzhi City. I felt very backward, worse than Huijiao City. The level of development is between Dragonstone Town and Greyhorn City.
Chen Xing made some inquiries and came to the mercenary gathering place in Linzhi City.
"I want a ticket to the New World." Chen Xing pushed a gold coin in front of the bar owner.
He did not dare to return home immediately, because Zhao Yuankai would probably send people to intercept him at various checkpoints, and he would not be able to take the main roads or take public transportation. In addition, the roads in Qingguo are underdeveloped and have many faults. It will take at least a month to buy a second-hand car and drive back.
If you have some free time, you might as well try your luck in the New World.
Now that the New World is being developed, there are aerospace ships traveling to all places. However, most of them are converted cargo boats, which are used to transport half cargo and half people. The comfort level is not the same as that of a private aeroboat.
But in order to hide his identity from others, Chen Xing had to hide in the army of mercenaries who were rushing to the New World to prospect for gold.
The bar owner looked at Chen Xing a few times and asked, "A foreigner?"
"I did something wrong." Chen Xing said frankly. Although he could hide the blacklist information, his accent could not be changed. Bar owners who dealt with monsters and monsters all day long could easily hear it.
"Thirty gold coins, no bargaining." The bar owner said while wiping the plate.
The logic in this kind of place is exactly opposite to other places. Criminals are commonplace, but decent people should be careful.
"Didi!"
[You transfer 30 gold to "Park Young-cheol"]
[Transfer successful, funds held are being updated...]
[Gold held: 8 gold, 0 silver, 0 copper (cash), 1,579,211 gold, 5 silver, 1 copper, 9 cents (bank)]
"Today's midnight boat will meet at ten o'clock and depart at eleven o'clock. The location is east of the outskirts of the city. I will send you the coordinates an hour in advance. According to the old rules, no waiting will be done after the deadline."
Chen Xing nodded and left.
Many mercenaries have major or minor cases. Living in the wild all year round, with a weak sense of law and a strong sense of force, it is easy for him to commit crimes.
Choosing to set out from the suburbs in the middle of the night was to avoid surprise inspections.
It's obviously a serious transportation industry, but when it comes to mercenaries, it becomes sneaky, like thieves.
In fact, this is related to the original sin of the mercenary industry. Mercenaries are armed forces that are independent of the political power. No ruling class will like them, but due to the conditions of the world, mercenaries have to exist.
At half past ten in the evening, Chen Xing followed the coordinates sent by the bar owner to a freight warehouse on the outskirts of the city.
The civilian aerostat was parked in the open space. The hull of the boat was in tatters, with traces of repair and patchwork everywhere. The propeller was stained with black ash, making people worried that it would fall apart midway and fall into the sea.
A dozen mercenaries were carrying supplies, loading green leather boxes into the warehouse.
Chen Xing only carried a military mountaineering bag and the psychic silver star given to him by the mayor at his waist, so he went into battle lightly.
Things are placed in the storage space, enough for two or three months of military rations, as well as some special guns and ammunition.
He now has the power to manifest his spiritual energy. Ordinary ammunition and firearms can be manifested directly without the need to carry them.
He now has three guns on his body. In addition to the Psychic Silver Star on his waist, which is the future version of SCAR, there is also a "Bayhunter".
Bayonetta is very powerful and can be used against large units.
After getting on the aeroboat, Chen Xing found a corner and sat down.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we're about to take off!"
Under repeated urging from the captain, the mercenaries finally moved their things and entered the cabin panting.
The sound of gas filling was heard from above, and the aerostat slowly lifted off the ground.
With the development of science and technology, the cost of producing helium has been greatly reduced, and with the development of planes, more new materials have become available. In addition, jet aircraft are only allowed to be produced in a small area. The once short-lived aerospace craft has become It has become the main transportation force in the red earth world.
Before the Cataclysm, rich people liked to show off their private yachts, but now the rich like to show off their private aerostats.
"Brother, do you want to go on an adventure alone?" "Yes."
The Green Continent is very far away, and it takes at least five days to fly. It was boring on the boat, and a young mercenary guy started talking to Chen Xing.
"Brother is so awesome. I don't dare to go alone." The young man glanced at the strong man in the corner of the cabin with his eyes closed and was concentrating, and introduced, "The one on the far side is my uncle, I will follow him..."
"A few years ago, I wanted to go out and break out, but my uncle said that I was too young and wouldn't let me follow, so I went to the militia camp to train for a few years. Now my marksmanship is very accurate. I can kill a dog from a hundred meters away. chicken."
"My uncle told me that if I could stay alone in the mountains for a whole month, he would take me out."
"In the end, do you know how long I stayed?"
"For forty days, if my uncle hadn't come to see me, I would have forgotten to come out."
The young man was talking to himself. Chen Xing had nothing to do anyway, so he just treated it as passing the time.
"Brother, have you ever touched a woman?" the young man suddenly asked, looking excited.
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. The young man is so young, it's better to leave some fantasy to him...
"I have something good." The young man looked around, then mysteriously took out a magazine, "Look at these breasts, they are white and big!"
Chen Xing took a look and saw that it was a mercenary magazine from the Red Kingdom. On the cover was a stunning beauty, wearing a thin, pure white dress. Her curves were astonishing, and large swaths of snow-white came into his eyes, making his blood boil. It is none other than the Alluring Princess Lacey Maris.
"Don't look at her, she is not a good woman." Chen Xing said.
"Is that so? It's okay, I have another one here." The young man took out another magazine. The woman on it was equally stunning, more dignified and less enchanting than the former.
"Big breast therapist, how about this?" the young man said excitedly.
"Otherwise, let's look at one..." Chen Xing suggested.
