Chapter 266 Still too young
On a small plain, Konoha Castle is located here. This is the first city to set foot on Aoyama Road in the direction of Nankaido, and will be the last one. Behind the city are rolling mountains.
The name of this city is very inconsistent with itself. The first impression given by the word Konoha is peaceful and leisurely, but the fact is that this city has nothing to do with Ning Jing Youran.
Standing outside the city and looking at the city ahead, a wild aura came.
Konoha City has a wall, and it is located on Qingshan Road that must be prevented from attacking by various beasts. The wall is not as neat and beautiful as other places. It is purely made of irregular huge stones. It is estimated that the people who built the city wall only consider the sturdyness and height, and have not considered the aesthetics at all. The huge stones are wild and heroic.
There were people coming and going on the avenue outside the city, including knights holding weapons, caravans driving the convoys, local native warriors wearing animal skins, and of course, more ordinary people.
This city is mixed and very chaotic. Even before entering the city, Liu Xiu and the others saw several scenes of fighting each other when they disagree. No one cares, and whoever is stronger is right. They hacked each other and laughed loudly, leaving the body next to them.
"Qingshan Road is indeed a group of barbarians, and there is no basic order to build a city. If Qingshan Road hadn't had too rich resources, I really don't know who would have been full and running to this place." Luo Bing couldn't help but mutter on the way into the city.
Lin Haojie reminded him on the side: "Brother Luo is careful when speaking. As far as I know, this city was established by the Bluebird Tribe, one of the five overlord tribes of Qingshan Road. It aims to trade with the outside world. Because of the xenophobic nature of the local natives, if you are not careful, you will attract targeting it. So it is better not to discuss the people here, especially the people of the Bluebird Tribe. Once they provoke them, they will easily be besieged by the local natives after a long response."
"I'm talking about the facts. It's already savage here." Luo Bing responded with a much lower voice.
Seeing that he became honest, Lin Haojie stopped saying anything, but turned to Liu Xiu and asked, "Brother Liu, what should we prepare next? Let's discuss it first. Only after purchasing all the products can we walk the next road. There is no place to buy us some supplies."
Liu Xiu looked at the customs and customs that were very different from other places and said, "First of all, we have to buy some medicinal materials. I want to install a barrier-avoiding pill. This pill can not only effectively drive away poisonous insects and not get close to us, but also relieve most of the troubles caused by miasma. In Qingshan Road, this pill is a must-have, followed by a sleeping bag, because Qingshan Road is high and dense, and the sleeping bag can reduce our chances of getting sick. Although you who practice martial arts have strong physical constitution, you are afraid of everything. You will not make any mistakes in preparing a sleeping bag. In the end, it is some daily necessities, especially various seasonings. After all, we also have to eat along the way..."
After hearing Liu Xiu say this, Leng Qinglin nodded and said, "When we enter the city later, we will buy it separately after we place it. Mr. Liu stays in the place where he lives, where he is mixed here to avoid accidents."
Liu Xiu didn't care, nodded and said, "It's OK."
Soon they arrived at the city gate, but they had to pay for entering the city, each of whom had a total of ten gold coins!
Facing the price quoted by the city guard, Luo Bing and the local tyrant couldn't help but get angry. He pointed to the ordinary people who had only handed over a few copper coins and entered the city and said, "Why are they so few?"
"Can you compare with them? As martial arts practitioners, will you pay more money to show your superiority? Hurry up, there are so many people waiting behind you, if you don't go in, or if you don't have money, you'll get out of here." The city guard wearing animal skins and holding long hair looked at Luo Bing and stared at him, driving with a disagreement.
It is obvious that this is the local natives targeting outsiders. Although the city guard is just a soldier and has little ability, he has the support of the Blue Bird Tribe, so he does not give anyone any face.
"Forget it, why bother with this little thing? Brother, please dot it, are you enough money?" Leng Qingsong stood up and smoothed out. As he said, he handed over a wallet, which contained a heavy bag of gold coins.
I became a little more serious, not only enough, but also too much, I immediately grinned and said, "You know what you see, go in."
"I..." Luo Bing wanted to draw his sword to chop people on the spot for the city guard's show.
Lin Haojie pulled him to the city and said, "I've left, this little thing won't happen."
"This is not a question of whether or not money is money. I don't have that little money, but I just can't stand that anger." Luo Bing struggled and said angrily when he was pulled away by Lin Haojie.
Lin Haojie lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you see so many malicious gazes on the city wall? Just wait for you to get angry and get up and deal with us. There are a few breaths in it and even I feel a little dangerous."
After hearing what he said, Luo Bing calmed down and felt a little bit, and it was really like this. He said incredibly: "Damn, what's the matter? I have never suffered such a loss since I was a child."
It’s not that they are afraid of the masters of those breaths, but there is no need to fight against each other for such a trivial matter, and it is difficult to end if they attract local natives.
Not only Liu Xiu and the others, but many other outsiders around were exploited by the city guards and they all pinched their noses to recognize them. Obviously, it was not the first time that they had experienced such a thing.
When he entered the city, Liu Xiu looked in a certain direction without any trace from the corner of his eyes, and then looked at Luo Bing and others without saying a word.
This is being targeted.
Wow, these problematic children are still too young. Don’t you know the truth that you don’t show off your wealth in such a mixed place?
Liu Xiu did not remind them that in many things, they always have to suffer some losses before they can grow up. Although they have some skills, many situations in the world are not something that can handle everything with a big fist, otherwise what is the use of growing a brain?
God knows how foreign merchants used to squeeze the natives of Qingshan Road. After Liu Xiu and his friends entered the city, they were troubled everywhere. Accommodation? Yes, but the price is a hundred times higher than other places, and they are not in a good place. The food is ridiculously expensive and not delicious. Want to eat good food? No problem, add more money!
In a hotel, Liu Xiu and the others settled down after eating.
Thinking of the previous experience, Luo Bing couldn't help but say speechlessly: "Did these natives learn to be smart or stupid? The foreign caravans make money from them, so they learn to squeeze out foreigners? Who will come in the future if this happens?"
"If you don't come, some people will come, and those smart businessmen will make a thousand times more profitable from the indigenous people," Leng Qingsong said with a familiar expression.
Lin Haojie interrupted them and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Anyway, we will only stay here for one night. Next, we will take action separately and buy back what Brother Liu said. Well, Brother Liu is waiting for us to come back in the hotel. Don't go out. You can see those natives' faces too."
Liu Xiu shrugged and said that there was no problem. In fact, there was nothing good about this city. The environment was dirty and messy, and the people were wild, so he was not interested in going out for a stroll.
"Damn, I'm not happy when I think about the fact that we are going to buy things and being cheated by the natives, especially those stupid people who don't bargain or not, I want to beat people. I seriously suspect that they don't know how to do business. Damn, who stipulates that this city can only be opened by the natives?" Luo Bing said in pain again when he went out.
"The Blue Bird Tribe stipulates that if it were not stipulated that only indigenous people could open shops to do business, what would happen to the business in this city or the local indigenous people..."
They went out to buy things, and Liu Xiu was happy to be idle.
Regarding their complaints, Liu Xiu said that you are still too young. You know that you are cheated and why don’t you come forward to negotiate with local tyrants? You can’t even think of who you will kill if you don’t? Moreover, on the surface, the business of this city is controlled by local natives, but when you think about it, you know that many of the behind are dominated by foreign merchants, and everyone just can’t tell them.
Regarding business matters, Liu Xiu can guarantee that the local natives will definitely not be able to play with the outsiders. His tough attitude towards outsiders is just being cheated of...
After dark, Luo Bing and others who went out to purchase came back one after another, and complained again.
Liu Xiu did not express his opinion on this. After getting the medicinal materials, he arranged obstacle avoidance pills on his own. Even if Luo Bing and the others stretched their necks to watch, he didn't care. It was a fool to learn it if they were not familiar with the properties and pharmacology. If the pills randomly prepared according to their own steps ended up cheating on him, it would not be Liu Xiu's business.
When Liu Xiu was installing obstacle avoidance pills, Lin Haojie thought for a while and said, "Brother Liu, when we went out to purchase just now, we found that many people were looking to form a team across Qingshan Road to Jiannan Road. Should we also team up with others? After all, you also know that the next road on Qingshan Road is not easy to walk, and multiple people have more guarantees."
"You can do this by yourself. I don't care how to decide." Liu Xiu paused and said, "He really didn't want to make a decision for them. After all, he knew people and didn't know what he was. What if he blamed him if he had a problem in teaming with others? It would be better if they decided by themselves, and he wouldn't blame him if there was a problem.
Seeing this, everyone had to discuss it themselves. In the end, they decided to form a team with others to cross Aoyama Road. With this decision, they immediately took action to contact others. When they came back late at night, they had already discussed time with others. According to them, there were still many people in Konoha City, and the team they joined were more than 300 people, all of whom went to Jiannan Road...
There was nothing to say all night, and Liu Xiu and the others got up early the next morning to eat, and then went to meet with the others.
At the gate of the city gate in the direction of Kennan Road in Konoha City, three hundred people gathered quickly. Without greeting each other and introducing themselves, I don’t know who said that he would set off, and a group of people headed towards Kennan Road in a mighty way.
There were quite a few people, and Liu Xiu and the others joined it inconspicuously.
