The wind was whistling. When we were about to arrive at Liudu City, perhaps because of insufficient potential energy, it seemed to be slightly rubbed, blowing the red rope hanging at the city gate, and swinging the corners of the guard's clothes.

As the southernmost city of Great Chu State and as a bridgehead for the Great Chu State to look at the 100,000 mountains in the south, Liudu City has been standing here for more than a hundred years. Its existence is not just for trade;

To a certain extent, Liuducheng also played a guest appearance as a strategic execution point, sandwiched between the Great Chu State and the 100,000 mountains in the south. The ones we welcomed and sent to the country all day long were not only interests and materials, but also more of a kind of cultural output.

After all, there are human groups on the edge of the 100,000 mountains, and even further into the central areas inside;

How to make these people regard themselves as human beings, as Chu people, rather than as alien races, or as demon races is a difficult problem that needs to be viewed and solved rigorously.

Nowadays, Liudu City has opened a door to convenience for the villagers in the 100,000 mountains. Material demand is obviously only the lowest purpose, and its true meaning is to try to tame it with culture.

When conquering other regions, force coercion is only the most brutal and direct means. Using culture to invade and moisten things silently is actually the least costly and effective way.

These questions,

Nan Ke didn't think about it;

after all,

His current identity and status are meaningless even if he thinks about these things, and he even has a little overwhelming worry.

At this time, Nan Ke walked out of the forest and looked at the open scenery of the world, and felt a little dazed and moved for a moment.

The forest behind, the towering trees, were like skyscrapers in later generations, making people breathless. Now it suddenly stood under the blue sky and white clouds, and it really felt like it was a different life.

"Huh, I can see a living person."

Nan Ke wiped the fine sweat beads on his forehead and looked at the city tower in front of him.

The city wall was washed white by wind and rain, and the height was only over three meters. However, the city gate facing Nanke seemed very wide, and the sides were reinforced with bluestone, which could probably accommodate several carriages passing by at the same time.

Perhaps for the sake of convenience of entering and leaving, a layer of floor tiles was specially laid on the road several hundred meters away from the city gate. As for the location further out, although it is mud, it has been consolidated over the years and cannot be more solid.

On both sides of the road outside the city, many small vendors have set up their stalls on both sides that do not affect their normal entry and exit. Most of them are nearby mountain people selling herbs and animal skins.

Although it was not very standardized, Nan Ke finally smelled some familiar smell.

this,

It's the Great Chu,

this,

It is the official meeting between you and this world!

It was a little late at this time, and only a touch of gold left on the horizon had not completely faded, and a curved moon arc was already hanging on the other side.

When Nanke saw the city, there were not many pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate. There were three or four guards on both sides. But it was said that they were garrisoning, but in fact, they were just taking a formality, with several soldiers leaning against the wall.

Those who come out of this mountain are either mountain people who come to trade in the city, or knights and gossips who come from everywhere to practice adventures. They hardly need to care about this kind of people. They all enter the city and are honest and orderly.

If you really want to be violent and fight ruthless, they will also find a quiet and uninhabited place to solve the problem. The people in the martial arts world have rules, and the people in the mountains also have ways to survive. There is no need to pay too much attention. After all, if you take care of it, it may not be effective;

In addition to the above two types, there may be some monsters and monsters. Although this type sounds scary, it has not appeared a few times in a century. What's more, if it really appears, let alone these soldiers, even a general may not work.

Therefore, these city gates are said to be stationed in the city, but more often they act as a face-saving project. After all, it is a bit strange if a city lacks them.

Nan Ke led Wutong to the city, and looked at the soldiers at the city gate. Seeing that although Nan Ke was dressed in rags, he had an extraordinary appearance and temperament. A girl similar to a little maid followed behind him, he immediately straightened his waist slightly.

Most of the young people who can go to the 100,000 mountains to experience their experience are rich young men from big families or sects. Otherwise, they will not have enough food to eat, so who has free time to run in the mountains?

The real people born in the lower class of the world won’t come here, but they mostly act as guards to make some money. If they really want to be in the world, where can they have to come to the old mountain forest in the Great Chu territory?

Although these city guards have no ability, they still have the strength of their eyesight. They still have to show their energy in front of these young men. If they please see them, they can ascend to heaven without saying anything casually.

Nan Ke walked past the city gate without looking sideways. After entering the city, he completely relaxed. The air was holding loosened, and he was not so straight and eye-catching.

He looks like a handsome and down-and-out household.

Nan Ke stood inside the city gate, glanced back curiously, and said, "These guards now pay attention to service attitude?"

Wutong couldn't understand what 'service attitude' was, but she could roughly understand what Nan Ke meant. She turned her eyes and said disdainfully: "Ha, they just served people."

The word "satisfied with people" was said by Wutong when she was wandering around before. Because it sounded very vivid, she learned it by her. At this time, she analyzed it in a very clear way:

"If you dress up like an old farmer in the mountains, do you think they will take care of you? Humph, just see that you are good-looking and try to behave with a try."

Judging people by their appearance is actually a phenomenon that most people cannot avoid. Even in later generations, those leaders still like to do things under their hands.

after all,

This ability is similar, and it can make you feel better if you like it, right?

"I'm pretty?" Nan Ke withdrew his gaze.

Although he was a little tattered, his image and temperament were really visible and tangible. What is a person’s identity and life he lived in daily life? A person with strong eyes can tell by looking at him.

If you have tender skin and tender flesh, and your hands are not touched by spring water, you will naturally be free and your family will be in a leisurely manner, so the situation is not much worse;

As for temperament, as a modern urbanite, coming here is a direct blow to reduce the latitude. This is not a difference in family background and identity, but a difference in the times.

If Nan Ke's appearance is at most first-class, and there can be one or two occasionally in the slums, then his temperament can really be compared with the children of the gentry and nobles in this world.

The children of the gentry only lived in a wealthy and knowledgeable environment when they were young, but no matter how broad their knowledge was, they had seen planes and cannons? They had seen mobile Internet and high-rise buildings?

Wutong's head was low and ignored her. She was used to Nan Ke's indirect narcissism. If she continued to deal with her, Nan Ke promised that there would be a series of fancy words waiting for her later.

The little girl lowered her head and walked to an inconspicuous position next to the street, and took out the map from her arms.

The front of the map records the road between Qinghe Village and Liudu City and the nearby forks, while on the back of the map, a small line of words records an address - No. 51, Lane 2, Qianjing Road.

Nan Ke followed, holding a coarse cloth bag in his hand, which looked a little empty, and contained a few pieces of silver. This was their harvest in Qinghe Village, and at the same time, it was their only remaining possessions.

Although he did not have a special understanding of the world's monetary value and system, Nan Ke also understood in his heart that these broken silver, not to mention two people, even one person, would not take long.

If you continue to save money, you can last longer if you drink porridge and fill your stomach all day, but why is it for escaping?

"Are you really going to pass the message?" Wutong asked holding the map.

This address is where the head of the Li family stayed in the capital. According to his personality, he should have thought of the worst outcome before he started to do it. He wrote the address in advance. He was supposed to ask his subordinates to come and remind him, but at the last moment, he had no choice but to choose Nan Ke.

Nan Ke took the map over, took a look at the address, and then put it away. He looked at the street. Although there were no crowds on the street at this time, there were also many pedestrians coming and going.

After all, there are only a few people who want to leave the city. After staying here for so many years, the residents in the city have reached a certain scale. It was still early and it was a good time to take a walk.

There was a restaurant opposite them, which looked quite a lot of guests. There was a luxury sedan parked at the door. A woman dressed in a wealthy dress came down from the sedan chair and walked in.

Not long after, another more luxurious sedan passed by the restaurant. A young man's head poked out of the sedan chair, looked at the restaurant, shook his head and asked the coachman to leave quickly.

To be put in later generations, this is when a Mercedes-Benz just passed by, and immediately walked over with another Bentley. Nan Ke squatted on the ground. Although it was not jealous, there was still envy and curiosity.

"Hey, have you ever been in a sedan?"

Wutong shook her head when she heard this, "No."

After saying that,

She said again: "I heard that the thing is boring. It is stuffed in a wooden box and it is bumpy when walking, and it is very painful."

"The person who said this is very poor, right?"

"Poor?" Wutong thought for a while and said, "Poverty should be endless. That person has a shop in the city."

"What shop?" Nan Ke asked.

"It seems like selling vinegar."

Nan Ke snatched his chin, "Well, that's all right."

As the southernmost city of Da Chu, this Liudu City is considered to be the interface connecting Da Chu and 100,000 mountains. Although the scale is not large, its geographical location gives it irreplaceable commercial value. Once the commerce is developed, the population will naturally increase.

Not to mention necessary industries such as commercial and medical centers, even restaurants and brothels have been built, which greatly enriches the entertainment and night life of local and people.

It was getting dark and bright yellow lights were lit on the roadside. Although it was not as bright as the street lights of later generations, it was so hazy that there was a graceful and retro charm in it.

"How did you get through these years?" Nan Ke weighed the bag lightly in his hand and said, "After traveling through modern cities, I didn't feel much in my heart when facing this so-called "prosperity".

Um,

Be curious,

Perhaps I am just curious about an industry with the oldest historical origin.

but,

No money now.

"If you are hungry, go to the city to find mushrooms and wild vegetables. If you are sleepy, go to the city to find tree holes. If your clothes are torn, find a few shiver animals to steal for me..."

Wutong was chatting for a while, and to sum it up, it was just one sentence. Go to the forest if you are hungry and sleepy!

But Wutong can do this, Wutong can be friends with animals, and Wutong can not care about food, clothing, housing, transportation, and quality of life, because she has been like this since she was a child.

Nan Ke asked himself that he could not do it. Who would have done it? Unless it is true that the ape is reborn from Mount Tai, it is impossible to be as pure as Wutong.

Tickling his head, Nan Ke glanced at the little girl with the expression "Otherwise, how else could she get through" and sighed and said:

"This person, it's not okay to have no money."

"Haven't I come here for so many years?" the little girl said unconvinced.

Nan Ke pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then said again:

"This man, it's not okay to have no money."
