Chapter 873 How can it be so easy for young people to get ahead?
The sky is dark and the earth is dark, and the snow is falling heavily!
In a daze, the outline of a small town appeared in front of him.
There seemed to be a few dim candle lights shining through the snow curtain in the hazy sky.
When I walked into the town, I found that only a few large courtyards with red lanterns were hung. Most ordinary houses did not light the lights, probably to save candles, so they looked dark.
No wonder no one lit the lamps, after all, it was just after noon.
"That's Hongshi Town?" Feng Jiuxiao said softly.
"Yes." Xiong Wu said respectfully.
"Let's pass quickly while there is no one on the street." Feng Jiuxiao said.
"Okay." Xiong Wu replied. He pulled the reins and took the lead, taking the lead.
The speed is neither slow nor too fast. If it is too fast, the sound of hooves will easily attract other people's attention.
When everyone walked through the main street, the street was really deserted.
There are bare poplars and birches on both sides of the road. Occasionally, some pine trees still retain a stubborn green color in the cold wind and heavy snow. They are like beacons that suddenly appear in the endless dark night and the vast sea, instantly letting people see the light of hope!
The whole town is actually quite big. There are countless houses arranged in rows and rows in a well-proportioned manner.
Pang Shishi felt that the distribution of the crowds in Liaodong was somewhat polarized. Either the villages were sparsely populated and no one could be seen, or they were all clustered together and densely packed.
The population for hundreds of miles around Ula City is mostly composed of Han, Koryo, and Xianbei, but there are not many Khitans. Even the Jurchens have a larger population than the Khitans, so if the Khitans come here, they will become a minority.
The architectural styles of the houses here are very mixed, including Tang Dynasty style buildings, Khitan felt tents, and Korean cabins with tatami mats inside. Most of them are earthen houses with a mixture of vegetation and soil.
Seeing Feng Jiuxiao's serious observation, Xiong Wu said: "Actually, those Tang-style wooden buildings are not necessarily Khitan people, most of them are Japanese people. They are deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture, especially in their speech and behavior, they are full of admiration for the Tang Dynasty.
Affection."
Feng Jiuxiao narrowed her eyes, "On the surface, these Japanese people emphasize their admiration for the Tang Dynasty, but in fact they are very contemptuous of the current Central Plains Dynasty. It seems that everything has to be judged by strength!"
Xiong Wudao: "Yes! I also know many Japanese people through Mr. Yan. They are born to be snobbish. They respect whoever has a hard fist, and look down on whoever has a soft fist, and even bully them!"
"
Feng Jiuxiao said calmly: "Bullying the weak and fearing the strong has always been a characteristic of Japanese people. But this is not their patent."
Xiong Wudao: "Yes, there are no such people."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "You said they are dumping wood here. I guess there should be a wood warehouse or a tight wood market?"
Xiong Wudao: "Yes, there is a lumber transfer station, about two miles away from here. Oh, there is a constant influx of outsiders over there, and finally they settled down there, gradually forming a new city. There is a mixture of fish and dragons, and various forces.
Basically all the activities are there.”
Feng Jiuxiao nodded and said: "Xincheng District, well, where there are people, there will be demand and consumption. If some people want to spend money, some people will make money. As the number of outsiders continues to increase, restaurants and inns will naturally come into being.
With everything to eat, drink, and live in, things to have fun and have fun naturally followed, and a small town was naturally formed.”
Xiong Wu said tentatively: "Young Master is absolutely right. Let's go and have a look?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Let's not create any complications. It won't be too late to come back after the business has been settled. Let's go."
The snow is still falling, and the snow is already up to the horse's knees.
Everyone walked through the small towns, as if they were wandering on the sea of snow.
"It's been snowing really hard these days. It hasn't been this heavy in decades. It's almost a heavy snowfall that only happens once in fifty years!" Xiong Wu said softly.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster." Feng Jiuxiao sighed.
Heavy snowfall caused disaster.
Traffic paralysis is inevitable and all walks of life will be affected!
"Fortunately, we didn't delay at all on the way. If we had rested here for one night, the snow would have snowed another foot, and it would have been waist-deep! By then, if we wanted to move forward, we would have to abandon our horses.
"Xiong Wudao.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes. I don't know how far the snow will cover. If the snow does not decrease in front, it will be difficult for us to move forward."
Xiong Wudao: "According to my experience, the bigger the snow falls, the harder it is to last, and the smaller the scope of the impact. The snow is a bit too heavy, and it has been going on for several hours. I estimate that it will take less than half a year.
It will stop within an hour. And the snow cannot cover a large area. I estimate that there may be very little snow ahead, and some sections of the road may not even have snow at all.”
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "I hope your mouth has been opened and you better be more clever."
Xiong Wu chuckled.
When they were about to leave the town, several figures suddenly came towards them from the opposite side. They staggered, hunched their waists, lowered their heads, and squinted their eyes. Because they were walking against the wind, snowflakes kept getting into their eyes, beating them hard.
I can barely open my eyes.
Suddenly they stopped and looked up. In the heavy snow, there were more than a dozen tall horses standing in front of them. What was that behind? Why are they so big? Damn it! Is it a tiger?
The three young men immediately pulled out their long knives and went on the defensive. The man in the middle pointed the knife at Feng Jiuxiao and Xiong Wu at the front, "Who are you?"
Xiong Wu's face was gloomy, "Who are you? Dare to block my way?"
The tall young man in the middle said: "I am Gao Yufeng, the policeman of this town! They are my colleagues! Who are you?"
Xiong Wu looked at Feng Jiuxiao, Feng Jiuxiao nodded, Xiong Wu said: "I am Xiong Wu from Lingxiao City, don't you recognize me?"
Gao Yufeng knew Xiong Wu's name, but he did not show any fear. As a catcher of Daliao, he should be neither humble nor arrogant. He said calmly: "Now the entire Daliao is looking for Mr. Yan from Lingxiao City. I believe that the person next to you is Yan."
Young Master, right?" Although he couldn't tell the level of the other party's martial arts, his domineering attitude as a person in power who had been in a high position for a long time could not escape his sharp eyes! The master of Lingxiao City was in awe of the young man in white.
From the bottom of my heart, who could make Xiong Wu so awed to the core? Who else could it be besides Yan Lingxiao?
Feng Jiuxiao shook her head and said, "I am not Yan Lingxiao."
Gao Yufeng sneered: "There are times when Mr. Yan dare not admit it?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Okay, I admit it."
Xiong Wu was a little unhappy, glanced at Gao Yufeng, and said angrily: "It doesn't matter if you are blind, but your brain is so simple and straightforward? If all the policemen were like you, then wouldn't all the common people be dead? Will you be stubborn?
,opinionated!"
Gao Yufeng snorted, "I can't bear such a high evaluation! Lingxiao City has done many evil things, and public resentment has long been boiling. Fortunately, today's wise emperor has finally seen the true face of Lingxiao City!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "So what if you see clearly? The Khitan cavalry cannot exert 50% of their combat power in this hilly area. What can they do to me?" His tone at this time was exactly that of Yan Lingxiao, arrogant and arrogant.
Look down on the world!
Gao Yufeng sneered: "It doesn't matter if the Khitan cavalry can't get through. There are also Khitan infantry, elites from various Jurchen tribes, and Goryeo's militia, as well as the coalition forces composed of Oroqen, Xianbei, Daur, Xibe, Hezhe, Ewenki, and Kirgiz."
, they are all people who have fought tigers and blind bears with their lives. They are brave and good at fighting. They are like a fish in water fighting guerrilla warfare in these high mountains. The minions of Lingxiao City are no match at all!"
Feng Jiuxiao sneered and said: "No matter how many people there are, they are nothing more than ants. I have so many masters under my command, and one person at the peak of the Nine Realms can defeat the entire Oroqen! No matter how many people you have, you are nothing more than a mantis with its arms acting as a chariot, and a cricket shaking a tree!"
Gao Yufeng said proudly: "Do you think the Liaodong Wulin world is really just yours? You have been used to being the boss for so many years. Have you forgotten that there are many young people who also want to sit on the throne of the Liaodong Wulin co-leader!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out that someone is interested in my position as the leader of the world. Haha, how can it be so easy for young people to get ahead?"
