Chapter 32 Entering Wusong Town
"Let's go!" Although Zhao Ba didn't know what method Guo Fei used to quickly control the horse, the anger in his heart became even greater. So he shouted loudly, slapped the horse, and galloped away, his speed suddenly increased.
When he reached the limit, the cavalry behind him chased him closely. He obviously wanted to give Guo Fei, a "novice", a showdown and make him look embarrassed in his riding skills.
Guo Fei smiled slightly and did not need to pat the horse at all. He raised his four hooves and rushed out quickly. The speed was like thunder, obviously much faster than other people's horses. This speed was even faster than Guo Fei's ninja speed.
Much faster.
Guo Fei fell in love with the cavalry unit all of a sudden. If he could upgrade his cavalry to "Level 4" and only have a horse like "Blood Horse", he would be able to run extremely fast. If he could have a horse like "Thunder Leopard" from the Jiang family,
With his monster mount, coupled with the bonus of his own talisman on the horse, his speed will be as fast as lightning. There is no one in the world who can stop him.
Not to mention Guo Fei's daydream on the galloping horse, his galloping shocked Zhao Xue, Zhao Ba and the knights next to him. Without pulling on the reins with both hands, he sat firmly on the horse and followed the body of the horse.
Bumping up and down, Guo Fei's body was steady, and he seemed to be in harmony with the horse, surpassing everyone as fast as lightning. Is this still an infantry soldier? His riding skills are better than those of the cavalry.
"Is this horse the fastest among the cavalry?" Zhao Xue was also surprised and asked the squadron leader next to him.
"Your Majesty, this horse is average in the cavalry team. It is not outstanding in terms of running speed and physical strength. I don't know how it could break out at such a speed today. It really puzzles my subordinates." The squadron leader said solemnly.
road.
"Guo Fei, you really make this princess unable to see through you!" Zhao Xue said in a deep voice as she looked at Guo Fei's figure gradually disappearing into the distance.
At this speed, Guo Fei arrived outside the Black Wall Defense ahead of time and waited for half an hour before the cavalry from behind surrounded Zhao Xue and Zhao Ba before returning.
The cavalry passed through the black wall and headed towards Wusong Town. Guo Fei originally wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of Lao Jiu and others, but now in his clothes, he was too embarrassed to see anyone.
He has been thinking about Uncle Wen in his heart, but Guo Fei thought about it and decided to go to Wusong Town first, where he could buy a few kilograms of wine for Uncle Wen, buy some gifts, and pay respect to Uncle Wen.
There is only this market town within a few hundred kilometers of Heibi. Guo Fei has heard about it for a long time and has wanted to see it for a long time.
Wusong Town is famous for its five pine trees. Due to the influence of the sea of ghostly death fog, there are almost no trees within a few hundred kilometers of Black Wall, except for occasional shrubs and rhizome plants.
If you haven't seen a tree for a long time, you will understand Guo Fei's mood at this time. When Guo Fei saw these five trees, he felt like running up and kissing them.
This is the first time I have seen trees in so many days. Although these five trees are not thick or tall, they are not even green enough. The leaves are "yellow". The five trees stand alone outside a shabby town.
Looking extremely haggard.
At this time, Guo Fei understood why the people in the barracks were extremely kind to these five trees. Not only because they were the only living trees in these hundreds of kilometers, but their existence reminded people of the prosperity of the Beiyuan interior where flowers bloomed and dense forests lined the streets.
The world reminds people of the beautiful landscape of their hometown. For most warriors, it holds the hope of happiness.
Guo Fei had heard in the camp that Jin Datong brought his team here for drinking and entertainment every month or so. Moreover, the second child also had a special hobby, which was women.
It was in Wusong Town that Jin Datong and Dao Scar had a conflict. The reason was that they were fighting for a "woman". The woman that Er Er fell in love with was snatched away by Dao Scar. The two groups of people fought with each other, and Jin Datong and others couldn't help it. Fortunately, the battalion commander Wang Zhi happened to pass by and rescued them. Otherwise, they would have suffered a big loss from that scar.
Therefore, Guo Fei has long been tired of hearing about the deeds of Wusong Town. For the soldiers guarding the black wall, this is the only place to "have fun".
Here, the most famous and most attractive things for soldiers are two things: women and wine. Soldiers who are lonely and unbearable can't even see a sow in the barracks, especially those who are married and have tasted wine. , simply couldn't stand such loneliness, so many soldiers' military salary was spent on women's bellies.
Wine is also a common consumable in this world. For soldiers who have been away from home for a long time and walk on the front line of life and death, drinking is longing, helplessness, sadness, heroism, and loneliness... Everyone can Find the mood within it.
The most famous wines here are "rye wine" and "huoshaotou". With Jin Datong's financial resources, he can't afford to drink such wine, but when he brags, he often says that he used to drink such wine. Guo Fei No one else could believe it.
The market town has a simple wall, and the main building in the center is a huge military camp and palace. A guard cavalry battalion and a battle ax cavalry brigade are stationed here. The two barracks guard a luxurious palace on the left and right. The palace is prepared for the kingdom's big shots. For example, King Zhao personally came to Heibi to participate in the war and stayed here. Zhao Xue's father also often came here to supervise the war, and Zhao Xue also had his own separate room here.
Outside the palace, there are three streets surrounding one street. One street is mainly for hotels, and the other street is called "Zhenfen Street". About a dozen brothels have opened their business here. These two streets mainly serve the military barracks, and the kingdom encourages these Merchants came here to do business and were given many preferential conditions. After all, in this bitterly cold place, if there were no such entertainment facilities, many soldiers would become deserters.
On another street, there are some grocery stores, clothing stores, blacksmith shops, transportation shops, etc., as well as a bodyguard agency. On this street, there are two shops selling charms, weapons, and a very important business. It means purchasing soul crystals and exchanging soul crystals for gold coins or spiritual stones.
Soul crystals are the trophies of warriors. In addition to being handed over to the official in exchange for credit and completing tasks, they can also be exchanged for gold coins. However, the price purchased by Zhao Guo is relatively low, far not as high as the price of the shops. According to this theory, these two shops are purely They are here to steal business from the State of Zhao, and the State of Zhao should not have allowed it to exist.
When he heard Jin Datong and others talking about this, Guo Fei was very confused. Of course, they couldn't explain it clearly. So when entering Wusong Town, Guo Fei asked Zhao Xue sideways.
"The Ming Empire's 'Mingyuan Chamber of Commerce' and the Tang Empire's 'Tang Chong Chamber of Commerce' are both official chambers of commerce. They are like blood-sucking insects. They will open their shops wherever there is profit. The Ming Empire and the Tang Empire are not We, Zhao State, can compete, but we can only let others do business." Zhao Xue said feeling helpless.
Late at night, Guo Fei followed the cavalry into Wusong Town.
"Guo Fei, you stay at the 'Zuiyun Tower' in Wusong Town first. After I report to my father, I will assign you a position based on your merits." When arriving outside the palace, Zhao Xue said to Guo Fei.
Guo Fei knew that this palace was an important military location. Although he saved Zhao Xue, he was really not suitable to enter here with his current status.
"Princess, I am very poor and penniless, and I still rely on your gold coins to survive." Seeing Princess Zhao Xue leaving, Guo Fei said with a bitter face, "A well-fed man doesn't know how hungry a man is,"
It is natural to pay back debts. Guo Feike remembers clearly that Zhao Xue still owes him two hundred thousand gold coins. Currently, he does not have a single gold coin and his life is difficult. He cannot let go of the debt when he returns here.
"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Someone will send some money over tomorrow and then bring you a new set of clothes. Your clothes are really not suitable for people to see. As for your gold coins, I will give them to you later. That's it.
It's not convenient for you to carry a large amount of gold coins with you." Zhao Xue smiled and nodded to a knight. Under the leadership of the knight, he walked through the streets and arrived at Zuiyun Tower two kilometers away from the palace.
The knight seemed to be very familiar with the boss here. After a brief explanation, the boss greeted Guo Fei warmly.
Guo Fei dismounted and handed the horse over to the knight. The horse seemed to be reluctant to let go of Guo Fei. He turned around and was pulled away by the knight.
