When Liu Qi threw the pickled crocodile meat into the pit of ten thousand snakes, Chen Wen and the ten bronze guards stared at the puddle a hundred meters away with their eyes wide open in horror. The weapons in their hands were soaked with sweat, and they were ready.
Be prepared to fight with thousands of water snakes at any time.
The pieces of crocodile meat were thrown into the pit of ten thousand snakes. After the water splashed, there was no sight of ten thousand water snakes scurrying around. A magical phenomenon occurred. Just as Chen Wen expected, ten thousand water snakes suddenly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.
Traces.
Crocodiles are really the natural enemy of water snakes. The pickled crocodile meat pieces actually calmed thousands of water snakes. Perhaps the smell of crocodiles is enough to suffocate the snakes. After the sound of the crocodile pieces falling into the water, the puddle was quiet for a moment.
Silent.
When Liu Qi saw this, he waved his hand and shouted, "Cross the pit." Immediately, four bronze guards carried two wooden boards covered with iron sheets to be used as carriage sheds, and hurried forward to build a bridge towards the puddle, followed by four carriages.
Without any delay, he quickly and cautiously passed through the horse trap that contained thousands of water snakes.
After passing the Ten Thousand Snake Pits, there are still swamps on the road ahead, but the mud is not too deep. It is basically an ancient road that has been abandoned for many years and no one has stepped on it. Fortunately, there are not many water snake pits ahead, only four or five. Liu Qi followed the same method.
I threw away four or five pieces of pickled crocodile meat and got through the dangerous place where I occasionally saw snake pits.
After marching in the swamp, E Huan jumped over from the distant jungle like an ape, and landed firmly in front of Liu Qi's mount. He didn't breathe loudly, and didn't turn around when he spoke. He spoke straightforwardly and said with cupped fists:
"Sir, the road has been found. There are about seven or eight miles of swampland, and there are bushes for another twenty miles. You can see a straight horse trail. You can follow the horse trail to get out of the forest."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, General E." Liu Qi had to be impressed by E Huan's running speed. Judging from what E Huan said, within half an hour, E Huan ran back and forth for sixty or seventy miles. In future Olympic Games,
Judging from the marathon competition, I am afraid that I will surely win the world championship.
When they learned that the ancient trail could lead out of this primeval forest, everyone cheered up and galloped all the way through swamps and jungles, and finally set foot on a straight horse path at dusk.
"Third brother, yes, the map of Jiangling provided by the eldest brother clearly marked a direct avenue at the foot of the Wangshan tombs. We can finally get out of this primitive forest." As we walked through the forest, it became wider and wider, and the walk became better and better.
On the ancient road, Chen Wen said excitedly.
Once on the road, although we have not completely left the virgin forest, there is more and more visible light. Through the straight horse path, we can vaguely see the vague mountains in the distance.
Liu Qi felt relieved and said: "Yes, my eldest brother was very careful and specially marked an ancient road that was rarely visited by people. I don't know how many people died on that road. Fortunately, we came out. It's worth celebrating. We
Work harder and set up camp at the foot of the mountain to rest."
Chen Wendao: "Third brother, I heard that there is a small town at the foot of Wangshan Mountain, called Longmen Town. It is a place where tomb robbing materials are traded and merchants gather. Bandits and bandits, gangsters and bullies are prevalent. There is a nest of wolves and rats, and fish and dragons are mixed together. It is said that people who came to Longmen Town
There are many people, but few people come from Longmen Town. We must be careful when we go to Longmen Town."
"What are you afraid of? If anyone dares to take the young master's idea, we will wipe out Longmen Town and we will be the boss." E Huan disagreed. His mind was fixed and his only thought was "kill". If anyone goes against the young master Liu Qi, he will be killed.
It's just asking for death.
"General E, we are here to get the Sword of the King, not to kill people and become kings of the mountain. When we go to Longmen Town, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately." Liu Qi lovingly warned E Huan, thinking that it would be safe to have a fierce general E Huan by his side.
It's much safer, but you still have to be wary of E Huan causing random troubles. From what Chen Wen said, you can feel that Longmen Town is a place of right and wrong. I'm afraid that just after walking out of the dangerous virgin forest, I will fall into the den of tomb robbers again.
.
"Yes, I would like to listen to Young Master's instructions." E Huan responded readily, without the slightest bit of displeasure. He knew that Young Master Liu Qi was soft-hearted, so he said yes, but in his heart he thought that if anyone behaved dishonestly in front of Young Master, he would still get blood splattered every step of the way.
"Drive." Liu Qi raised his horse and raised his whip, and the four carriages galloped quickly. The peaks of Wangshan Mountain in front became clearer and closer.
The mountains seem to be in front of you, but it is a very long way to reach the foot of the mountains.
Liu Qi and his party ran for more than half an hour. The moment they drove out of the primeval forest, the sky seemed to be empty again, but they saw the setting sun filling the sky, mountains overlapping, the mountain wind blowing beside them, eagles circling overhead, and smoke from cooking fires not far away.
, there really is a small town.
"Third brother, up ahead is the legendary Longmen Town." Everyone slowed down their driving speed, and Chen Wen pointed to the small town road ahead where smoke was rising.
"I see, second brother, General E, let's rest where we are, check the supplies, and prepare the weapons. If the people in Longmen Town are not hospitable, we will help them." Liu Qi weighed the sword in his hands, and his murderous look gradually grew.
Lu, after all, this Longmen town is a place where fish and dragons are mixed. If you are not prepared for a fight, it will not be worthwhile to be ambushed by the thieves in the town. Be careful and sail the boat for thousands of years. Liu Qi understands this principle.
"Sir, I'm going to investigate." E Huan crossed his halberd and stepped forward on his horse.
"General E, don't go. Let's explore nearby and ask Brother Wen to take two warriors to Longmen Town." Liu Qi stopped E Huan. A man with such a rough temper like E Huan jumped from trees to vines in the forest to explore.
The road is okay, but if we go to the chaotic Longmen Town to inquire, a fight over a disagreement will ruin our plans.
Liu Qi considered sending the brave and resourceful Chen Wen to Longmen Town to investigate, as he was the best candidate.
"Yes." Chen Wen said nothing, pointed at the two bronze guards, then rode towards Longmen Town.
After Chen Wen left, Liu Qi, E Huan, and the eight bronze guards carefully inspected the tomb robbing supplies and carriages, equipped themselves with weapons, bows and arrows, and waited for Chen Wen to return from exploring the road.
While Liu Qi was waiting for Chen Wen, he looked around at the environment at the foot of Wangshan Mountain. The strange thing was that there were no major roads around Longmen Town, and the ancient road leading deep into the virgin forest except for Liu Qi and his group of thirteen people, was a visitor.
There have been no traces of people in Longmen Town for many years. Where did the people of Longmen Town come from?
However, Liu Qi only doubted it for a moment. He took a closer look at the Shanchu tombs and discovered the paths among them. It turned out that there were many winding paths leading to the tombs. At a glance, there seemed to be hundreds of earthworms.
It is squirming. From this, it can be concluded that most of the people in Longmen Town come over the mountains and ridges. From the analysis of the trails that have been trodden over time, there are not a few people who come to Wangshan to rob tombs. Then, the people in Longmen Town must come from all over the world, and they can
Tomb robbers are by no means timid. From this point of view, even if they steal the King's Sword, whether they can hold it is another matter.
Liu Qi looked around for a while, then dismounted and looked at the distant mountains and peaks. The scenery of Wangshan Mountain under the sunset was very charming, but because of the accumulation of Chu tombs, there was a strange atmosphere in front of him.
At the time of the two sticks of incense, Chen Wen and the two bronze guards came back on horseback and told Liu Qi that Longmen Town was no different from a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, with food, accommodation and entertainment all in one place. It was an unspoken rule that anyone with money, power and ability would be the boss.
Liu Qi believed in Chen Wen's vision. Since the rich, powerful and capable people are the uncles, for the young master Liu Qi, money, power, and ability seemed to be indispensable, and they were still strong points compared to ordinary people. He learned that the people in Longmen Town
Liu Qi smiled and asked, "Are there any inns or brothels in the town?"
Chen Wen was stunned for a moment, thinking that the young master Liu Qi couldn't bear the loneliness after not having sex with a woman for a long time, so he puzzled and said: "There are several inns, and it is convenient to stay in high-end and high-end ones. It's just a brothel..."
"Tell me, is there a brothel or not?" Liu Qi asked, still smiling.
"I'm afraid there isn't one." Chen Wen didn't understand Liu Qi's reason for asking about the brothel, and he couldn't ask, so he had to answer vaguely.
"This should be there." E Huan shouted. Hearing that the young master asked about the brothel, his heart moved. Not to mention, after eating a large piece of stewed crocodile meat, he was really energetic. If he didn't find a woman to cool down, he would still be full of energy.
I'm really panicking, which shows that the young master is also a human being, and his body is as strong as an ox.
Liu Qi asked: "Oh, General E, tell me, why should there be one?"
E Huan scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "Didn't Brother Wen say that the richest people in the town are the uncles? Men's money is spent on women. If there is no brothel, the long nights at the foot of the mountain will always be long.
You can’t fuck me, sir.”
When Chen Wen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "General E, what's your logic? Do you think that if you have money, you have to play with women?"
"If you don't play with women if you have money, then why do you play with them?" E Huan blushed when Chen Wen robbed him.
Chen Wen became anxious and said: "General E, I'm not telling you that there are so many poor people in the world. If you have money, why can't you build more houses, weave more cloth, and open more fields? The common people have houses to live in and clothes to wear.
Now, with food to eat, won’t the world be at peace? By then, who will still be a prostitute? By then, all women in the world will be women from good families!"
E Huan was embarrassed and muttered: "Brother Wen, I don't have your high ambitions."
The minds of Chen Wen and E Huan were incompatible. Chen Wen always had great ambitions, but E Huan only knew loyalty. It was like an ox and a horse, they couldn't agree.
Liu Qi glanced at the longing eyes of the ten Bronze Guards, and quickly smoothed things over: "Brothers, there is no need to argue. Since we have come a long way to get the sword, let's relax. Brothers, there is no need to hold back. Those who can stay in Longmen Town
, most of them put their heads in the waistband of their pants and survive today without knowing tomorrow."
"Yes." Chen Wen and E Huan stopped arguing. Although Chen Wen said that if he had money, he could do great things in the world, but Chen Wen was itching all over his body after taking a lot of crocodile meat. I'm afraid he would have to go to a prostitute first before he got rich.
Obviously, it is pragmatic to take care of the younger brother first, and then to provide peace to the people of the world. This means that if you don’t clean one house, how can you sweep the world? How can you make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment if you can’t solve your own “food and clothing”?
When Chen Wen thought about this, he admired Liu Qi even more. He was a pragmatic person who became a sworn brother, and he was also a person who thought about his brothers.
Indeed, as Chen Wen thought, Liu Qi was a pragmatic person. Liu Qi did not want his brothers to become weak due to eating crocodile meat. He only relied on these twelve brothers to steal the King's Sword. What's more?
Gou Jianjian is lying in a Chu tomb somewhere in the mountains in front of him, calling Liu Qi's arrival in the dark!
Liu Qi knew that in the Three Kingdoms era, women's chastity was very weak, and brothels could be found everywhere. Historical records record that every time Cao Cao conquered a county, a city, or a pond, he would rush around to find prostitutes. This can be seen from the incident of Cao Cao's search for prostitutes.
It can be seen that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the government could not help but not promote brothels, but the society was peaceful. This is a very intriguing sociological topic, just like later generations debated whether red light districts should be legally established, and whether prostitutes should be
Is it the same as working with a certificate?
Looking at the lush mountains under the setting sun, thinking about the ancient town of Longmen with one-stop services for eating, drinking and entertainment, Liu Qi excitedly stepped onto the carriage and waved his hand: "Brothers, go to Longmen Town."
