Obviously, although Xunzhou was a big fuss, he did not suspect Lin Fengjin. So after being tested in Guancheng, Lin Fengjin entered Guancheng without much effort...

Although the law of the Middle Tang Dynasty stipulated that no one could stay in the city of Guancheng at any time, the long-term peace in Jianlong Pass had turned a deaf ear to this law. Except for a few military forbidden areas, Jianlong Pass was already prosperous and unrestrained. There were bright lanterns everywhere, waiters who were catching guests, shouting quickly, and the streets were crowded and bustling, and there was a smell of steaming cow dung and horse dung that was unique to the traffic street.

Lin Fengjin was still carrying a bookcase that was "irritated to death" on his back, dressed as a poor student, and slowly walked into the city of Jianlong Pass. Although he had never seen the black bone ridge, Lin Fengjin could already know from some of the details he observed at this time that this person was well-known.

Although it has been peaceful for twenty years, the renovation of this Guancheng has been continuous. Although the Guancheng is prosperous, the supervision and guarding of several key places is particularly strict, showing a loose outside and tight inside. It can be seen from these details that Wugutu has the ability to manage the army.

The business and tourism in this pass are prosperous, and the soldiers guarding the gate are also proud and have no selfish actions. Then a large part of the gray income will definitely fall into Wugutu's hands. This reflects that Wugutu has a talent for governing the country!

The country's constraints on the army are to use the remaining strong troops to threaten the army, and to block the food and pay in the army. If the generals train troops and cut off the food and pay, then the elite troops will only be dispersed. However, once the generals not only have the ability to govern the army, but also have the ability to govern the country, they can cultivate a strong army, and they can also gain wealth. The momentum of self-sufficiency has been achieved. As long as the situation is right, they can move with a camera and become a prince in the area.

In fact, Li Hu was just taking this path. However, under the instigation of Lin Fengjin, Li Hu did much more low-key than this black bone tuft. At this time, he actually "disarmed" his own troops to only 5,000 people. He was even more humble in his reply to his boss, almost like a grandson. He was so low-key that he was so low-key that he really didn't know how many people he had deceived.

According to the information found by the Lin Family Trading Company before coming, Lin Fengjin waved his hands repeatedly, refused the invitation from the very attentive waiters on the roadside, and finally came to a very spacious and bright inn.

After all, the Middle Tang and the Western Rong were still enemy countries, so it was impossible for Jianglong Pass to openly let people go out. Sometimes, if you are a bitch, the archway must be established, unless Wugutu clearly wants to rebel.

Therefore, all the inns within the pass can have the opportunity to get out of the pass, because many of the owners behind these inns are the guards of the pass. The main body of this "Ping An Inn" is the most extensive and the hardest backstage.

If you want to get out of seclusion as soon as possible, although you spend the most money when you find him, you get what you pay for and the speed at which you can get out of seclusion is also the fastest.

Lin Fengjin came to Ping An Inn. He asked for a room, sighed and shook his head repeatedly. The shopkeeper also had a pair of sharp eyes. He saw that Lin Fengjin was a real scholar who seemed harmless, and seemed to have something to do. As expected, he fell into a trap and couldn't help but say:

"What's the matter with the scholar? Is it so depressed?"

Lin Fengjin bit the hook very simply:

"I have urgent matters to go to Xirong. I heard that there are shortcuts here, but the door is closed and it is not open at all. What should I do?"

The shopkeeper didn't know how many orders he had received in similar businesses, so he immediately patted his chest and laughed:

"Scholar, it's not to be hiding. We haven't had a war here for twenty years, so there is no reason why the closing door is not open. Otherwise, so many merchants would have come here to do what? Could it be that this remote countryside produces gold? Of course, they all made money by passing the clearance to the Western Rong barbarians on the opposite side. Besides, not only are the people inside us going out, but those travelers who have made money also want to come in."

Lin Fengjin's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said anxiously:

"Oh, this is serious? Is it difficult to get out of seclusion?"

The shopkeeper laughed:

"Well, it's really not difficult, it's really difficult."

When Lin Fengjin heard that he kept him indifferently, he said impatiently:

"Shopkeeper, I'm also studying everywhere. After walking for hundreds or thousands of miles, you can just offer a price."

The shopkeeper smiled and said:

"As the saying goes, it's better to come sooner than you're better to come by. This general rule of departure is to get five hundred people together and leave. Tomorrow, I just went to a private school in my early years, so although I couldn't study, I admire scholars at least. It's just that Mr. Xiucai, you are single and have no goods. If the soldiers at the door interrogate, it's really embarrassing. Maybe you'll be arrested as a spy because of impure motives, so you'll be priced at 20 taels of silver. Mr. Xiucai, if you miss the morning tomorrow, you'll have to wait for at least two or three days."

When Lin Fengjin heard this, he immediately said furiously:

"You shameless profiteer, I have no goods and be single, and it has become a reason to charge me more money? This is because my father at home has been asthma all year round. The doctor said that he had to use the red scorpion, a specialty of Xirong, as a medicine to cut off the roots. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get through this winter. But we don't have this medicine at all. I am a filial act, so why are I regarded as a spy??! I only paid two taels of silver!!"

Before leaving, Lin Fengjin had conducted a series of very detailed investigations and knew that the Dragon Gate seemed loose and tight, and it seemed that anyone could give money to pass the test. But in fact, the inn shopkeepers who made profits from it were all Wu Gutu's confidant, or were Wu Gutu's subordinates!

The role of these people is like the mesh of a fishing net, which puts away those merchants who are really here to do business, pay money, and prosper the market, and removes people with ulterior motives. Therefore, when facing the inn owner, Lin Fengjin also has to fight with him, and no flaws can be seen.

The two bargained for a long time, but in the end the shopkeeper bit Baliang to death and stopped letting go. Lin Fengjin spoke so hard that he had to slap in the room fee tonight and breakfast tomorrow morning. Then he muttered unwillingly and went back to the room.

After watching Lin Fengjin go upstairs, the boss waved to the waiter and whispered a few words to him. Not long after, the waiter took a parchment from outside, which said that the appraisal of Lin Fengjin's identity document at the city gate was ticked, indicating that the appraisal was passed.

The boss thought about it, found a piece of paper, and wrote a line of words on it:

"Does the Western Rong have a rare drug like Red Scorpion? It can cure asthma for many years?"

The paper was quickly sent out by the waiter, and the matter was taken back. There was also a word "yes" on it.

After seeing this reply, the boss also wrote the word "yellow" next to Lin Fengjin's name on the scroll. This is his surname, which not only indicates that the person was released from him, but also indicates that he confirmed that there were no doubts.

***

There was nothing to say all night. Lin Fengjin was woken up by a waiter knocking on the door before the fifth day of the next morning. When he walked to the door of the store, someone was already standing in front of him with a lantern. He said lightly:

"Everyone follows me closely and bring everything I should bring. If you want to come back after you leave the customs, you have to pay it again. You can give it to me now. You can give it to me later when you go out, but don't want to betray your debt. Don't make noise on the way or speak loudly!"

At this time, it was still pitch black everywhere, and the man said lightly. There was a strong deterrent force on his body. Lin Fengjin knew that only those who killed people like numbness and treated people as life as grass would give people this feeling.

After saying that, the man strides forward. If he can look down from the sky, he can see that a large number of people are constantly emerging from the inns, and then gather together.

At the same time, the luggage and goods of these merchants were also concentrated in another place, and people and goods left the city separately, so as to achieve the maximum ability to control public security in the city. Lin Fengjin was in the crowd, not at all conspicuous, but was secretly surprised in his heart.

Because the number of merchants leaving the customs at this time is indeed a bit shocking, with more than 500 people. These more than 500 people can bring taxes to Wugutu. According to the information from the Lin family, this Wugututu almost opens and switches twenty times a month, which means that *10,000 taels of silver are put into the bag every month.

However, this is just the gray income of Wugutu. The Ministry of War of the Middle Tang Dynasty also allocated military pay, fodder, etc. every month, and also regularly supplied him with weapons, war horses, flags, and tents! If this calculation is made, Wugutu has been entrenched here for twenty years, and at least 20 million yuan in silver!!

Such a huge sum of money is probably a disaster but not a blessing for anyone. Wugutu is one of the four famous generals in the world. Of course, he knows that this money is a cause of disaster and trouble. He will definitely not save the money. When he retires, he will be slaughtered for nothing!

So, what did he do with this money, or what would Wugutu do with this money? After careful consideration, he couldn't help but feel creepy.

While walking, Lin Fengjin also noticed shadows in the streets and alleys on both sides, but they stood up straight and were about to come out. These were obviously the defenders of the Dragon-Surprising Guanzhong. They seemed to be completely preventing problems before they happened, and also showed Wugutu's strong control over this Guanzhong!

After twenty years of peace, these soldiers were very strict and looked like elite soldiers but did not have the taste of arrogant soldiers and powerful generals. Wugutu had a great plan.

In fact, Lin Fengjin knew about the thoughts in Li Jian's mind when he recruited Wugutu. Although he gave Wugutu too much freedom when he surrendered, the Dragon Pass was always better when it fell into Wugutu's hands than when it fell into the hands of the Xirong people.

Facts have proved that Li Jian’s approach was right, and Jianlong Pass has received twenty years of peace since then.

More importantly, Li Jian was only in his early twenties when he was summoned to surrender Wuguzhi. At that time, Wuguzhi was almost fifty years old. Li Jian's wishful thinking was very simple. Although the treatment he gave Wuguzhi himself was generous, as long as he was in one day, he could still save the scene.

As for the historical and social situation at that time, high-risk and high-risk occupations such as military generals usually do not live long. Even if they do not die on the battlefield where they fight for their lives, they will often be defeated by old injuries. As they are old, they will lose both their qi and blood. When the weather is cold, they will be like a candle in the wind, swaying and extinguishing.

Therefore, Li Jian felt that Wugutu would only live to be fifty or sixty years old. When the scimitar General died, he would take back the Jianlong Pass. This was legitimate and fulfilled his promise to let Wugututu go to the place.

It is not a casual statement for you to say nothing. At this time, the five countries coexist and the competition is fierce. If the kings are all talking about the train, most of the ministers will have to be disinterested.

However, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Li Jian has a good plan here, but he never expected that Wugutu would become more and more energetic and more moister. Not only did Li Jian not wait for the news that Wugutu would die, but Wugutu had waited for the obituary of his death.

At this time, for the new king of Zhongtang, it is not necessary to say that Wugutu has become a big tail and cannot be lost. However, the Jianglong Pass is a very important strategic place. Wugutu surrendered to the Zhongtang for 20 years without any rebellion. If you take action rashly, you will not be able to fight. Once Wugutu is forced to surrender to the Western Rong again, the fertile land of Zhongtang will be exposed again under the violent herd of the Western Rong.

Who can afford such risks?

After walking a short distance, everyone who was about to leave the customs was mixed together and whispered to each other. At this time, they were in a large open space, and dozens of feet in front of them were closed.

You can see that the small door next to the closing door slowly opened, and then a group of cold-faced soldiers led the goods of these people, ox carts, etc., and rushed outside the pass one after another. "Good first" and "people pass later" are the characteristics of Jianlong Pass.

At this moment, Lin Fengjin suddenly smelled a strange smell in his nose. He couldn't help but be stunned. After carefully identifying it, he found that the smell was actually the smell of the best-quality hunting snake he caught??

Since the five gods in Lin Fengjin woke up, his five senses are much more sensitive than normal people. The growth environment of the top-quality snake he captured is very special. It grows in a forest similar to the pepper tree with a strong smell. Therefore, it is inevitable that the breath is somewhat different from the other snakes, so it is very recognizable.

Didn’t the best-quality snake I caught all been taken away by Gongsun Di? How could its aura appear here? (To be continued...)
