When leaving the village, the eight horses turned into four large carriages, each of which was filled with cheap desert specialties purchased by Yang Yun, such as desert wolf skins and so on. Yang Yun did not seek to make money, just to be a Identity cover.
Although they didn't know the road very well, it was really not a problem for Yang Yun and others. They arrived at the border town on the evening of the next day. Due to the natural protection of the desert, the garrison here was neither large nor alert. Yang Yun and others easily Sneaked in.
Although the town is small, it has everything, including pharmacies, brothels, and mercenary guilds. It is very complete and has more variety than ordinary cities. It makes sense when you think about it. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and when there is no war at the border, it must be garrisoned. Find some tricks to make it more convenient for customers.
Yang Yun found an inn, asked the waiter about the price, and asked for a few rooms, which cost about ten silver coins. Yang Yun told the waiter that any extra would be considered a tip. The waiter went to complete the formalities with a smile on his face.
After settling in, Yang Yun took everyone to eat in the hall and listened to news from all sides. In general, the news of the defeat of Tang State had spread to Meng'e State, and many of Tang's defeated troops had also passed through different channels. When entering Meng'e Country, Meng'e Country adheres to the principle of neutrality. As long as they do not cause trouble, they will be treated as ordinary merchants. They will neither expel nor entertain them. Those who do not have identity documents can apply for a temporary certificate from the local authority where they enter, which is valid for three years. The visa can be renewed once every month. If you are still unable to leave after half a year, you can find a local person to sponsor you to stay for another half year. If you are still unable to return to your country after one year, you can join the Mengbo country if you have a job. If you do not have a job, you must accept the official work arrangement. Otherwise, When the refugees are driven away.
Yang Yun explained that this was already a good arrangement. After all, the Meng'e Country is only a neutral country. Generally, the neutral country's approach is to expel its troops immediately if they discover that they are defeated. Of course, where they are driven is the internal affairs of the neutral country. Some neutral countries set aside a piece of wasteland to serve as a shelter. But basically speaking, they will not be given the status of ordinary businessmen, because they are armed personnel, which will cause a lot of trouble. There are many reasons why Meng'e State can do this now, but the main reason is the strong national power of Datang.
After dinner, Yang Yun was about to take everyone back to the room. At this time, the waiter came over and said, Sir, we have a good entertainment show in the city. Do you want to watch it?
Yang Yun shook his hand without interest, but the waiter refused to give up and said, boxing, singing and dancing, gambling, everything is available. Yang Yun shook his head again, and the waiter had to say, this is the benefit of having sex with you. , If you don’t go, I’ll let someone else do it.
Yang Yun looked at Shao Zhen and Li Ling and said, give them the tickets.
So the waiter handed over a wooden sign and said, "This is a pass. You will get one for every three rooms. Entry to all the entertainment venues tonight is free with your ticket. Otherwise, you will have to pay for a silver coin. You will have to pay for the on-site consumption by yourself." Hope you guys have fun."
Yang Yun said, "You can figure it out for yourself. Just don't cause trouble. I'm going back to my room first."
Sun Kai and others looked at it and said together, we have all gone back to rest, you two can go.
Shao Zhen and Li Ling looked at each other and realized that the team had to save money, so everyone wanted to save money.
Li Ling looked at it again and said, "You know what to say, go ahead." He gave the wooden sign to Li Jun and went back to his room. Shao Zhen thought about it, and it would be good to take this opportunity to learn more about the world.
The waiter turned back for some reason and saw that only Shao Zhen was holding the ticket and everyone else was gone, so he said, "Sir, in fact, there is a pawn shop on the right after exiting the door, and after passing the pawn shop, there is a happy place." ,
Shao Zhen smiled and went out. Sure enough, there was a pawn shop on the right. I couldn't understand the name, but there were people walking around in twos and threes. When I walked in, there was a high counter. You had to raise your head to see it clearly. .
He casually put the knife he had brought up, and there was a sound of "death or living" coming from inside. Shao Zhen felt funny in his heart, but he still said "dead".
The half-dead voice shouted, a rusty knife, ten silver coins.
Shao Zhen quickly arrived at the entertainment venue. It was really lively. A group of beauties were singing and dancing happily on the huge stage, raising their charming white legs from time to time. Turning around the stage, there were rows of gaming tables. What were they playing? There are all of them. After the gambling table, there are several boxing arenas. Shao Zhen is a little confused as to where there are so many people in this small town. Little did he know that this entertainment venue was one of the largest in the country, and was specially set up in remote places for the entertainment of wealthy people.
Seeing those customers betting a few gold coins, I suddenly felt like I had become poor again.
Li Jun walked to a dice gambling table, listened carefully, and then followed the crowd to bet a few silver coins. After half an hour, Li Jun already had a thousand silver coins, so he stopped with satisfaction and wanted to win again. I thought trouble was going to come when I went down, so I went to the boxing venue. The people who were fighting there were surprising, because they didn't look human in any way. Their long ears were five or six times longer than ordinary people, and they had big eyes. There was a sense of transparency, and there was a humiliating sadness in his eyes. His hands and feet were covered with long chains, and his opponent was a very strong free-spirited martial artist, and inexplicably, this martial artist would punch himself from time to time.
If you really can’t understand, just listen carefully to what the person next to you is saying. After another half an hour, he still left the entertainment field with doubts in his mind. It turned out that the land he was on now was called Tiannan Continent, and the long-eared man in the ring just now was called Elf. He came from the Elf Continent. The two continents were thousands of miles apart. The ocean, the Monster Continent in an unknown specific place, and some magical continent. Although Shao Zhen has a strong psychological quality, he still has a hard-to-accept feeling. What kind of script did he get?
When I returned to my room, I fell asleep in a daze without practicing any martial arts. In my dream, I was chased by a group of elves holding long bows. Suddenly I woke up, it was already dawn.
Shao Zhen gave Yang Yun 1,000 silver coins, saying that he won it in the casino. Yang Yun hugged Li Jun and jumped over and over again. Shao Zhen thought to himself, if he gave him 10,000 directly, would he kiss me a few times? Well, it makes me sick just thinking about it, but fortunately I didn’t give it.
Yang Yun gathered everyone together, gave each person 20 silver coins, and said, "Let's all go to the street to buy some good clothes. As wealthy businessmen, we are going to cross the Meng'e Kingdom and take a cruise ship back to the northern port. We will no longer go north to Lanlou."
Everyone was stunned for a while after hearing this. Last night, they couldn't even afford to rent a house, and they couldn't even buy tickets to the entertainment venue. How did they become so rich now? I went to the street to buy some clothes. I couldn't lose the face of the Dadang Empire. I was wearing country clothes like that yesterday. I was really embarrassed to say that I was from Dadang.
Shao Zhen understood that it would be much safer but also much more expensive to return directly to Meng'e Country by boat. It would be much cheaper to go north to Lanlou and then take the boat, but it would be much more dangerous. Now that you have money, of course it’s better to be safe.
Yang Yun looked at Shao Zhen and said with a little embarrassment, I am almost thirty this year, making you guys laugh. Shao Zhen smiled helplessly. Since he came to this script, in terms of appearance, it seems that I have become younger, and it used to be okay to pretend to be mature, but now I look like someone under 20, so I don’t pretend anymore. The Mood for Love will fade away in a blink of an eye. Only by being happy can you be worthy of yourself.
When everyone changed their clothes and came out to meet each other, although the men were not as majestic as the women and the women were handsome, they all had a heroic feeling.
