(Thanks to the book friend "Book friend 130611201811496" for the reward of 100 Qidian coins, thank you!!)
The shopkeeper Ergouzi heard the anger in Wang Sancai's tone. While rushing the horse, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Hey, don't be excited. If you want to go to the Zhumu Mountains, Yingjiu City is the only way to go. There is no remote path that can be passed along the way."
After hearing what he said, Wang San immediately turned around and looked at Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao understood and quickly said, "In my impression, there is indeed only this avenue leading to Yingjiu City. As for whether there is a small path, I really don't know."
He did not hide his voice. After hearing this, the shopkeeper Ergouzi heard it, and before Wang San could speak, he immediately said: "It's not dawn yet. When the sky is getting brighter, you will know that what I said will not be fake."
Ergouzi's shopkeeper said it with great confidence, and even at the end, he couldn't help but emphasize: "It's impossible to have other routes to go there. My life is in your hands, so I will definitely not tell lies!"
Although he was confident in his tone, Wang Sancai would not believe him easily. However, the sky was just dawn and the visibility range was only a few dozen meters at most. There were other pedestrians on this avenue. Even if the shopkeeper Ergouzi really deceived him, Wang Sancai could not attack him until he had no choice!
Moreover, by now, he had vaguely felt that David's position had become clearer again.
Resisting suspicion, Wang Sancai still had no impulse, but as sunrise approached, Bai Xiao, who had just fallen asleep in a coma for a whole afternoon, had a tendency to be unable to hold on. Although he was a little sleepy, Wang Sancai still forced himself to whisper to Bai Xiao: "Xiaobai, don't fall asleep at this time."
"Uh..." Bai Xiao shuddered, quickly sat up straight, forced his eyelids to make the standard gesture of a pregnant woman again.
However, as the visibility around him became higher and higher, Wang Sancai became more and more worried that Bai Xiao would be exposed.
Although Bai Xiao's figure is very different from the actual situation on the wanted order posted, he will definitely recognize him as soon as he sees his face. Although the black veil covers Bai Xiao's face, it is difficult to guarantee that the guards of Eagle City will not doubt him. The key is that he must carefully hide his feet and hands stroking his stomach. It is fine when it is dark, but as soon as the sky is dawn, you can see his big feet and the lush fingers that only men have.
However, before the Ergouzi shopkeeper got three fine Yuanshi, he would definitely try his best to protect himself. It would never be possible to sell him and both of them before he got them. Otherwise, he would not have to risk helping him and his two acts in this drama alone. As long as he suddenly disappeared while he was not paying attention, it would be enough to save his life.
Therefore, at least Ergouzi's shopkeeper can "trust" for a while.
Wang Sancai could only put his hope on him.
As the sun gradually rose eastward, the surrounding visual range finally gradually became farther away. Wang Sancai finally understood why Ergouzi's shopkeeper said that it was impossible for other roads to pass through Yingjiu City.
Because Wang Sancai could clearly see the Eagle City about two miles away in front of him. Although the city walls are not as majestic as Tono City, the buildings inside the city walls are also unique, especially the dense towers in front of the city gate, which are difficult to see in other cities.
The key is that Yingjiu City does not have the south gate or the north gate, because these two directions are two uplifting mountains, and Yingjiu City is "sanded" between two mountains, and there are only two gates in the east and west for people to enter and exit. However, the two mountains extend continuously to a distance behind Wang Sancai and the other two. However, the further east, the lower the mountains become, and in the end, the slope becomes gradually flattering.
No wonder Ergouzi's shopkeeper said that there is no other road that can pass through Yingjiu City. The city is tightly sandwiched by two mountains. It is indeed impossible for other roads to exist.
"Oh, I remembered it..." Bai Xiao looked at the endless mountains on both sides and realized: "Yingjiu City is the most special and easy-to-defend city in Zhou State! I forgot it just now!"
When Ergouzi heard his words, he immediately agreed with pride: "Of course, although the Liang family is not as good as many families, if the war spreads here, as long as you hide in Yingjiu City, you will be safe."
Although he was addicted to gambling, he grew up from the Liang family territory since childhood and had a unique sense of belonging to the Liang family. He seemed to be excited and immediately raised his hand to sweep away the two mountains: "There is a tower every fifty meters on the Yingjiu Mountains, and the other side of the two mountains is full of surging rivers. It is impossible for someone to attack Yingjiu City from the south and north. If you attack from the front, you have to weigh your own weight, haha!"
Wang Sancai did not follow his words. Although Bai Xiao wanted to discuss with him, he closed his mouth because he was in a hostile relationship and was disguised as a pregnant woman.
Ergouzi's shopkeeper said it alone, and after only a few words, he naturally stopped talking.
Soon, when the scorching sun shone on the earth, Wang Sancai and the other two finally arrived at Yingjiu City.
However, after a close observation, Wang Sancai discovered that Yingjiu City looked very much like a military fortress from the outside. The moat alone was more than 30 meters wide. Looking to the sides, you could vaguely see the water flowing out from the bottom of the mountains on both sides.
The key is that the moat is not only very deep, but the water flow is also extremely turbulent. There is only a suspension bridge in the middle that can only accommodate two carriages to move side by side to Yingjiu City. If an enemy attacks in the future, it will be basically impossible for the enemy to attack Yingjiu City.
When crossing this suspension bridge, all the carriages obviously slowed down, and the reason was very simple - the horses were frightened!
"Wow——" Ergouzi's shopkeeper tried hard to comfort the horse and tried his best to maintain the balance of the carriage.
Bai Xiao was already completely sleepy and grabbed Wang Sancai with both hands, completely like a frightened little girl. Even Wang Sancai couldn't help but feel a little scared when he looked at the rushing river water under the suspension bridge.
Fortunately, the suspension bridge was extremely strong, and the three of them finally came over without any danger.
The key is that Wang Sancai and Bai Xiao's hearts have been raised back to their throats when they are about to be investigated by the guards of the city.
The closer they got to the two guards guarding the city, the more nervous Wang Sancai and Bai Xiao were, and Bai Xiao grabbed Wang Sancai's arm tightly. If he hadn't been wearing a veil, he would have been in danger of being exposed. However, Ergouzi's shopkeeper had already relaxed after walking across the suspension bridge, and even chatted with the two with satisfaction without saying a word. That way, it seemed like they were old friends with them for many years.
However, neither of them was in the mood to reason with him.
The shopkeeper Ergouzi also saw that the two of them didn't want to pay attention to him, so he simply closed his mouth and sat quietly waiting for the inspection of the soldiers guarding the city.
Wang Sancai saw that the inspection ahead was very strict. Not only was there a soldier who searched his body, but the other one was also on the carriage for routine inspection.
Looking at the leisurely and leisurely appearance of Ergouzi's shopkeeper, Wang Sancai was not sure how he should explain to the two guards guarding the city later, and he couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Have you thought of a solution? We will be exposed as soon as we search later."
"Hey, don't worry." Ergouzi's shopkeeper didn't even reply: "Don't be nervous, I have been in the Liang family's territory for more than 30 years, and it's not a waste of money!"
His explanation was very vague, and Wang Sancai couldn't help but frown. However, before he could speak again, the Bingwei in front seemed to hear the voice of Ergouzi's shopkeeper and immediately looked at this side.
Wang Sancai was shocked and hurriedly changed his words to Bai Xiao and said, "Xiaobai, don't be nervous, relax."
Bai Xiao heard no answer, but suppressed the fear in his heart and quickly sorted out his movements. He gently held Wang Sancai's arm with one hand and placed the other hand on his stomach and gently stroked it. Moreover, in order not to reveal his characteristics of being a man, he also tightened his legs and covered his palms with a black coat.
"Hey, isn't this Ergou?" The Bingwei who looked here was a little surprised in his tone. He waved his hand to the other Bingwei: "Hey, check the point yourself first, I've seen an acquaintance."
After saying this, he slowly walked towards Wang Sancai and the other two.
He looked a little old, and even a few white hairs were exposed in his temples. However, he was in great spirits, and even light flashed in his eyes from time to time.
Wang Sancai and Bai Xiaomo remained silent, and the shopkeeper Ergouzi had a smile on his face: "Hehe, Lord Wei Shengjin, I didn't expect that you were standing guard in person today!"
If it were normal, Wang Sancai would definitely laugh out loud when he heard the name of this military guard. It was not enough to meet Bi Yuntao and An Quantao in front. This time he actually met another Wei Shengjin?
However, Wang Sancai could no longer laugh, and could only smile friendlyly, waiting for Ergouzi's shopkeeper to "take a move".
"Don't you know, have you posted a wanted order recently? Every pedestrian entering the city has to conduct strict inspections. Do you think I am willing to do these boring things?" Wei Shengjin walked over and rolled his eyes, even sighed: "You don't know how many brothers envy you now. You don't have to worry about anything, just sit and collect money."
"Hey, Brother Wei Shengjin said this." Ergouzi's shopkeeper stood up, walked out of the carriage, and said with displeasure: "If I just sat and collected money, I would not have been here early this morning."
His last sentence and his actions of getting off the carriage instantly made Wang Sancai feel excited. Wang Sancai was ready to summon the characters from the camp at any time. If Ergouzi's shopkeeper dared to betray him at this time, he would deal with him as soon as possible.
"That's not, I'm still wondering. If you can come here at this time, it will take at least midnight if you start from your small place?" Wei Shengjin had already walked to the shopkeeper Ergouzi. He seemed to have a good relationship with the shopkeeper Ergouzi. He raised his hand and punched the shopkeeper Ergouzi with a friendly punch, and laughed: "In the middle of the night, you get up and hurry up and tell me, have you encountered something?"
After saying this, Wei Shengjin's eyes couldn't help but fall on the carriage of Ergouzi's shopkeeper. His expression suddenly changed, and his eyes stayed on Bai Xiao for a moment, then fell back to the body of Ergouzi's shopkeeper. His expression sternly, his tone changed, and he pointed to the carriage that Wang Sancai and Bai Xiao were riding and said seriously: "Who are they?" (To be continued.
