Ming Zhiyuan did not have either an identity plate or an official certificate. He did not dare to go back to Tianyun Prefecture to get a replacement identity plate.
Not to mention applying for an official certificate.
However, in any world, there is a profession that specializes in helping others cross borders. It is called a smuggler.
Ming Zhiyuan stayed at an inn on the border of Rouyun and asked the inn's waiter to help him contact the snakeheads. In return, he gave the waiter a few taels of silver.
The waiter in the shop clapped his chest in assurance, clutched the money tightly and left with a smile on his face.
In less than an hour, a man with a full beard came back.
The man was very tall and strong. He looked at Ming Zhiyuan with very alert eyes.
The waiter introduced to Ming Zhiyuan: "This is Brother Qiu. He is the most powerful and responsible leader in our Rouyun border. I don't know how many guest officers like you have brought across the Rouyun border in recent years.
Sir, if you want to go to Gaoyue without going through the government, just follow Brother Qiu. Brother Qiu, you can rest assured that this guest is definitely not a secret agent of the government. I can guarantee you."
The waiter in the shop again patted his chest and made a big promise to the man named Brother Qiu.
Ming Zhiyuan understood that it was the few taels of silver he generously gave that played the role. I am afraid that the waiter in this shop has never seen such a large amount of money being given as an introduction fee, right?
Brother Qiu had been looking Ming Zhiyuan up and down. After listening to the waiter in the shop, he asked: "Master, how many of you are there? When do you want to leave?"
Ming Zhiyuan replied: "For one person, the faster the better. How much does it cost?"
Brother Qiu glanced at the waiter: "Two hundred taels of silver per person."
Ming Zhiyuan also nodded: "Okay."
Brother Qiu said: "Let's leave tonight. Wait at the inn at nightfall. If someone comes to call you, the old rule is to collect a deposit of one hundred taels first. After passing the Rouyun border and entering Gaoyue country, you will then make a final payment of one hundred taels."
."
Without saying anything, Ming Zhiyuan turned around and took out a one hundred tael silver note from the package and handed it to Brother Qiu.
Brother Qiu took the banknote, carefully checked its authenticity, and said to Ming Zhiyuan:
"Okay, Sir, I'm so cool. In the evening, Xiao Quanhao will come to call you and pack your things. We won't wait for anyone."
"Also, we're walking there, we can't ride horses. If you have horses, sir, please take care of them as soon as possible."
Ming Zhiyuan nodded, then Brother Qiu turned around and left when he saw that Ming Zhiyuan had nothing to say.
Ming Zhiyuan said to the waiter named Xiao Quanhao, "Please help me deal with the fiery horse I rode here. You can decide the price."
Xiao Quan's funny mouth almost burst into tears: I will help the guest officer handle it immediately, please wait a moment.
After a while, Xiao Quanhao knocked on the door again. After Ming Zhiyuan opened the door, Xiao Quanhao handed over a fifty-tael banknote and said: Sir, just in time, Brother Qiu has accepted your horse. Look.
All of a sudden, you were in a hurry to leave again, so... Ming Zhiyuan nodded and took the banknote: It's okay, just deal with it. This time he won't give Xiao Quan a good introduction fee, I guess this hot horse
The fierce horse was sold to Brother Qiu, and he had already taken away an unknown amount of water.
The lowest price for a fiery horse in Tianyun Continent is around five hundred taels of silver.
The fiery horse that Ming Zhiyuan rode was of excellent quality and was specially bought for Ming Zhiyuan after hearing rumors about it. It was estimated to cost more than six hundred taels.
At this moment, he was in a hurry to make a move, and he was unfamiliar with life, so he could only resell it at an extremely low price.
At night, Ming Zhiyuan stuffed all the banknotes in the soles of his shoes, tied the five top-quality spiritual stones and Wenren Chuanxi's letter to Nan Chunyi, the great elder of Saintess Mountain, around his waist with a belt.
There was only a change of clothes and a dozen taels of silver in the package.
Not long after, the waiter came to Ming Zhiyuan's room quietly: "My guest, Brother Qiu is waiting for you at the door. Sir, please go quickly."
After hearing this, Ming Zhiyuan picked up the package and left.
When I walked to the door of the inn, I saw Brother Qiu bringing several big men, two of whom were carrying two large packages on their backs.
Followed by eight or nine scattered people, they must also have crossed the border privately together.
He couldn't help but think to himself, there really are smugglers and stowaways in any world.
Yu Huo's national conditions are better than Gao Yue's. These people who cross the border illegally may either have committed something wrong or have the same difficulties as himself in having to travel far away from home.
Taking a closer look, Brother Qiu also had a machete hanging on his waist.
Ming Zhiyuan was secretly on guard, his expression unchanged.
Brother Qiu nodded to him, turned around, and walked out with a group of people. Ming Zhiyuan hurried to follow. Brother Qiu was very familiar with the roads on the border of Rouyun and knew where there were checkpoints and where there were small roads to go around.
This road was designed to take them through deep forests and narrow roads, and there were even no roads in some places.
When there was no road, Brother Qiu picked up a machete and chopped down various shrubs and vines to open a path.
We walked like this until the sky started to turn blue, and finally we came to a river with rapids.
Brother Qiu pointed at the other side of the river with his machete: "After crossing the river, you will reach the boundary of Yanshan Prefecture in Gaoyue Kingdom. After passing there, walk ten miles south and you will find a market. Last time, there were no checkpoints on this small road to the south. Be careful.
.There are very few checkpoints here in Gaoyue, you can add some things there."
At this time, someone rustled up from behind and whispered: "How can I get across? I can't swim? Two or three voices behind me are also saying: How can I get across if I don't know how to swim?"
Brother Qiu chuckled and said, "If you don't know how to swim, my brother will take you there, but you'll have to pay extra."
The few people looked at each other, and the person in front of him was the first to speak: "Didn't we agree that the one hundred taels of silver would be delivered to Gaoyue? Why do you still need to add more money? Brother, what you are doing is unethical.
!”
Several people behind also echoed.
Ming Zhiyuan smiled bitterly in his heart. Others were worth one hundred taels, but he was worth two hundred taels. His emotions killed him like a fat pig. But now is not the time to care about this.
Ming Zhiyuan also doesn't know how to use water. There are few big rivers in Yuhuo Kingdom, and many people don't know how to use water.
In his previous life, Ming Zhiyuan asked a swimming coach to teach him for several days, but he still couldn't learn it. The coach dragged him into the water and said that he would be able to do it after drinking a few water.
As soon as he entered the water, he panicked and danced with his arms and legs, and even grabbed the instructor until his arms were bloody. He was so angry that the instructor was unwilling to teach him.
From then on, he also gave up. Even less so in this life.
Brother Qiu's expression did not change: "Why don't you swim there by yourself and we won't charge you one tael more, or let our brothers take you there and charge you fifty taels per person."
After that, he looked at the sky and said, "If you want to go there, hurry up. It will be dawn soon. It will not be easy to leave then. It will delay the time. The patrol will come after daybreak. It will be difficult to go there. Then
But it has nothing to do with our brothers.”
Now those people stopped talking. They still looked at each other. One of them gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, how do you take us there?"
Brother Qiu chuckled: "Of course we brothers have a way."
I saw the two men carrying large packages taking the packages off.
He took out a bunch of leather water bladder-shaped objects from inside, but they were much larger than ordinary water bladders. The leather was finely made and extremely thin.
Then several people separated and each blew into the water bag. Gradually the big water bag began to swell.
Not long after, a dozen oversized balloon-like things from the previous life appeared in front of everyone.
Ming Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh: Human wisdom is infinite in any world.
Brother Qiu said: "Did you see that, each of your brothers tied two to his body, and my brother pulled you to swim forward. Don't flop around in the water. If you are washed down by the water, it will not be counted as ours."
Those people came forward to get the water bag (actually an air bag). Brother Qiu stopped him: "Everyone, please pay the money and then get it."
At this time, no one was arguing anymore, everyone took out the banknotes or money and handed it to Brother Qiu.
Ming Zhiyuan put all his banknotes on the soles of his shoes, so he took off his shoes and took out a fifty-tael banknote and handed it to Brother Qiu.
Just as Brother Qiu was about to pick it up, Ming Zhiyuan said, "I need to get an extra water bag."
Brother Qiu was stunned, "Take one more? Okay, Mr. Master is such a cheerful person, take it."
Brother Qiu put the collected silver coins in the package and pressed it down with stones.
He turned around and saw Ming Zhiyuan picking up three airbags and walking far away.
Ming Zhiyuan took out the banknotes and the letter written by Wenren Chuanxi, stuffed them into an airbag, tied them tightly and tied them around his waist together with the other two.
When those few people saw Ming Zhiyuan walking away, they exchanged glances with each other. But Brother Qiu didn't care.
