Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 261: Gradually overlapping lines
Chapter 261 The gradually overlapping lines
Zhao Changhe took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.
Sanniang put Yinzi into her arms with gleaming eyes, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that special. They always sell grain here, and after selling, they transport Western Region jewelry and the like back to sell. Over the years, I'm afraid It’s also a lot of money.”
Zhao Changhe said speechlessly: "I can see this even if you don't tell me."
"Then what do you want to know?"
"Their strength, the forces that are connected here, and the network of relationships in the Central Plains - if you know."
Sanniang couldn’t help but laugh: “Hey, are you from the Daxia Suppression Demon Division?”
Zhao Changhe said expressionlessly: "If I want to uproot them and eradicate them, of course I need to know this information. What does it have to do with the Demon Suppression Division?"
Sanniang smiled and knocked on the table: "You ask me who I am going to ask? I am just an inn owner."
Zhao Changhe looked at the rhythm of her tapping on the table and smiled slightly: "Then I won't bother you."
Sanniang glanced at him with interest, then walked away with a smile.
It was already dark after dinner, but the market was full of lights. Standing out of the guest room window, you could see thousands of lights stretching for hundreds of miles.
This is not an exaggeration, it may be an underestimation.
The market itself is quite large. There are countless caravans stationed around the perimeter, all moving out and buying goods, hunting with torches, and the sound of people is so loud that they can be vaguely heard in the market from a distance.
Zhao Changhe looked away from the firelight of the camp in the distance and fell on the street outside the inn.
Of the two Qiao family businessmen, one had his teeth knocked out and the other had his hand clipped. They thought they would find someone to take revenge soon, but unexpectedly they didn't come. Everything was calm.
Zhao Changhe believes that the other party does not dare to actually open a thousand troops into the market. The garrison of Timur here is no joke, but it should not be a big problem to gather dozens of people to come in to look for trouble. I feel that this place should be frequented It was only natural that there would be a group fight, but no one came.
It seems that Sanniang is not bragging, she is really a deterrent.
She can ignore the fight in the store, but if someone comes from outside to beat her customers, no one seems to dare.
Zhao Changhe raised his hand and turned his shoulders. He said that he was surprised when he pinched someone's hand today. It seems that the fruits given by Xia Longyuan, the breakthrough of the seventh level of external skills, and the introduction to the so-called blood Shura body have brought about greater changes than he originally imagined.
External Kung Fu is all about physical fitness. To put it bluntly, it is physical strength and resistance to blows. Generally speaking, they go hand in hand. Once the physical fitness is improved, of course the offense and defense will improve. It's just that because everyone's practice methods are different, each school has its own characteristics.
Just like I am more aggressive, Situ Xiao is more defensive, but the actual difference is not too obvious. Assuming Situ Xiao's defense is 100%, his attack will be at least 80% or 90%. It is not high defense and low attack. And the other way around.
After all, we are all still human beings, and aren’t human bodies the same thing...
But from now on, there is a more significant distinction.
I definitely didn’t have such great divine power before. Breaking through the first level of the entrance will not increase like crazy. It can only be understood as the initial transformation effect of the body. This type of body seems to be moving in the direction of "infinite power" , began to be inhuman.
This is just the performance of the seventh level of the entrance. What if it is a peek into the secret? What about higher places? Can we move mountains and reclaim seas?
It is conceivable that he is in the direction of "infinite strength", while Situ Xiao is in the direction of "indestructible", and there is a significant difference between the two extremes of offense and defense. They look like a big baby and a third baby.
What will happen to the inner family’s qualitative change?
I can finally understand Xia Longyuan's performance. It seems that there is a path to follow.
Zhao Changhe practiced silently for a while, calculated the time, and found that no matter how dark the night was, many of the torches transporting goods in the distance were extinguished, and then he slowly turned around and went out, arriving at the restaurant hall again.
The drinkers have dispersed, and Sanniang is sitting on the counter with her powdered cheeks resting on nothing to do, her lotus feet dangling, and kicking a Persian cat beside her feet. The cat trembled when she was kicked, but would not move away, just like the drinkers hanging around her in the evening.
Hearing someone entering from the back door, Sanniang looked up lazily and saw that it was Zhao Changhe. She leaned back on the counter with some sadness: "What, buying wine? Or Jiangnan cuisine?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Why can't I just chat with you?"
"Come on, you still think my scent affects your eating."
"But if you invited me, wouldn't I still come?"
"When did I invite you?"
"Knock on the table three times." Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "There are no guests anymore. You are still bored here. Why don't you go to the gambling shop you mentioned to gamble a few hands?"
"It's too noisy, just like here during the day. It's hard to chat with anyone."
Zhao Changhe nodded: "I think so too."
As he spoke, he sat down in front of the counter and took out a piece of broken silver: "Two more bottles of osmanthus wine. The one I drank before felt quite authentic."
"Why two pots?"
"Please have a drink."
Sanniang's melancholy look soon disappeared, and she happily turned around to get the wine.
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Are there not many people who buy you a drink? I see you are happy."
"No matter how much there is, who can think of too much when someone is treating you?" Sanniang quickly took two pots of wine and poured it for Zhao Changhe, like a young girl.
Zhao Changhe thought of the various brand new, unopened mobile phones hanging on Xianyu, "given by licking dogs". Sure enough, there are not too many.
But I heard Sanniang add: "Just like you men don't think there are too many women."
Zhao Changhe was taking a sip of wine and almost spit it out when he heard the words. His old face was a little hot under his disguise: "I really didn't come here to seduce you!"
"I know." Sanniang said leisurely: "There are many people coming here to buy information. Especially during this period, there are more people from China and Turkey coming here, and everyone wants to ask about the military situation of the Hu people. Some time ago, there was a The drunkard with a heavy sword on his back stayed here for almost a month looking drunk every day. My mother poured urine on him before he left. Now I don’t know where he died.”
Zhao Changhe: "..."
Sanniang looked at him sideways: "Do you understand? We don't dare to sell everything. After all, we have to make a living here. If you don't want to die, you have to keep your mouth shut. Military affairs and other things, we won't sell them for more money."
Zhao Changhe said: "I understand. But I can continue to finish half of what I said before?"
Sanniang said: "The person they contacted was the manager of Huangshaji, the great Khan's trusted general Ubalu. In the past, their food was actually transported directly to Huangshaji. I don't know why this time. It’s just an empty truck. It must have been unloaded elsewhere on the way.”
Zhao Changhe thought for a while and handed over another piece of silver: "Is Ubalu's strength considered military intelligence? Many people should know about it."
Sanniang curled her lips sarcastically: "The ordinary goods in the sixth or seventh level of the entrance are not good for fighting, but there is no way. You are a close friend of the Khan. If you don't go to the front line during the war, you can come to the rear market to collect some supplies and play with women. Not awesome enough? ”
Zhao Changhe secretly thought, at least I can be sure that you are not his.
While thinking about what articles could be written here, Sanniang suddenly asked: "What is your name?"
Zhao Changhe said: "In the royal way."
"Which one of the Langya Wang family is right? Or do they still have the same name and surname?"
"What do you think?"
Sanniang looked at him suspiciously for a while, then suddenly said: "If you are really from the Wang family, I suggest you run away."
Zhao Changhe blinked: "What?"
"Herei sent a message to the tribe a long time ago, saying that his affairs were ruined by the royal family, and asked the Great Khan not to trust the Wang family's envoys. Now that Herei died at the hands of Suzaku, all tribes are guessing whether he has anything to do with the Wang family. Related - I heard that the Saint of the Four Symbols Sect was there when Langya was discussing the sword. It is estimated that the Four Symbols Sect and the Wang family have an alliance."
Zhao Changhe almost burst out laughing, and said solemnly: "What does the Khan think?"
"I don't know what the Great Khan thinks. I just know that if the War Lion Tribe knew you were here, they would fight you tooth and nail."
"Is the War Lion Tribe nearby?"
"Not only are they around here, but they have been having a hard time recently, and all parties are eager to devour them. If I guessed correctly, this batch of Qiao family food was originally going to be sold to the War Lion tribe... Now Anzai?"
Zhao Changhe suddenly felt that the world was really interesting.
It turns out that even such things can have an inexplicable connection, as if they are connected by wires.
And this Sanniang... didn't you say you didn't dare to mention military affairs? Does this count?
