Chapter 261 The gradually overlapping lines
Zhao Changhe took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.
Sanniang's eyes were shining as she took the money into her arms and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that special. They always sell grain here. After selling, they transport Western Region jewelry and the like back to sell. I'm afraid they can make a profit over the years. "Pours full."
Zhao Changhe said speechlessly: "I can see this even if you don't tell me."
“Then what do you want to know?”
“Their strength, the forces they have established here, and their network of relationships in the Central Plains—if you know about it.”
Sanniang couldn’t help but laugh: “Hey, you’re the one from Daxia who suppresses the magic?”
Zhao Changhe's face was expressionless: "If I want to uproot them and eradicate them, of course I need to know this information. What does it have to do with the Demon Suppression Division?"
Sanniang smiled and knocked on the table: "You ask me who I'm going to ask? I'm just an innkeeper."
Zhao Changhe looked at the rhythm of her tapping on the table and smiled slightly: "Then I won't bother you."
Sanniang glanced at him with interest, then walked away with a smile.
It was already dark after dinner, but the market was full of lights. Looking out the window of the guest room, it seemed that the lights of thousands of houses stretched for hundreds of miles.
This is not an exaggeration, it may be an underestimation.
The market itself is quite large. There are countless caravans stationed around the perimeter, all carrying out and replenishing goods, hunting with torches, and the sound of people is so loud that you can faintly hear it from a distance in the market.
Zhao Changhe looked away from the firelight of the camp in the distance and fell on the street outside the inn.
The two Qiao family businessmen, one beaten off their teeth, and one clamped their hands. I thought I would find someone to retaliate soon, but unexpectedly, they didn't come.
Zhao Changhe believed that the other party did not dare to attack the market with a thousand troops. The garrison of Timur here was no joke, but it shouldn't be a big problem to gather dozens of people to come in and look for trouble. I feel that group fights should often occur in this place. That's right, but no one came.
It seems that Sanniang is not bragging, she is really intimidating.
She can ignore the fight in the store, but if someone comes to beat her customers from outside, no one seems to dare.
Zhao Changhe raised his hand and turned his shoulders. He said that he was surprised when someone pinched someone's hand today. It seems that the fruits given by Xia Longyuan, the breakthrough of the seventh level of external skills, and the introduction to the so-called Blood Shura Body have brought about greater changes than he originally imagined.
External Kung Fu is all about physical fitness. To put it bluntly, it is the strength and resistance of the physical body. Generally speaking, they go hand in hand. Once the physical fitness is improved, of course the offense and defense will be improved. It's just that because everyone's practice methods are different, each school has its own characteristics.
Just like I am more aggressive, Situ Xiao is more defensive, but the actual difference is not too obvious. Assuming that Situ Xiao's defense is 100%, his attack will be at least 80% or 90%. It is not high defense and low attack. And the other way around.
After all, everyone is still in the category of human beings. Isn’t that the same thing about human bodies?
But from now on there is a more marked distinction.
I definitely didn't have such great power before. Breaking through the first level of the entrance did not increase like crazy. It can only be understood as the initial transformation effect of the body. This type of physique seems to be heading in the direction of "infinite power", and it begins to be very... people.
This is only the performance of the seventh level of the entrance. What if it is a peek into the secret? What about higher places? Can we move mountains and reclaim seas?
It is conceivable that he is in the direction of "infinite strength", and Situ Xiao is in the direction of "indestructible". There is a significant difference between the two poles of offense and defense. They look like a big baby and a third baby.
What will happen to the internal family’s qualitative changes?
Finally I can understand Xia Longyuan's performance. It seems that there is a path to follow.
Zhao Changhe practiced silently for a while, and after calculating the time, as the night got darker, many of the torches carrying goods in the distance were extinguished, and then he slowly turned around and went out, reaching the restaurant hall again.
The drinkers have dispersed, and Sanniang is sitting on the counter with her powdered cheeks resting on nothing to do, her lotus feet dangling, and kicking a Persian cat beside her feet. The cat would tremble when she was kicked, but would not move away, just like the drinkers who stayed by her side in the evening.
Hearing someone coming in from the back door, Sanniang looked up lazily and saw that it was Zhao Changhe. She leaned back on the counter with some embarrassment: "What, buying wine? Or Jiangnan cuisine?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Why can't I just chat with you?"
“Come on, you still think my scent affects your eating.”
“When did I invite you?”
"That's when I knocked on the table three times." Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "There are no guests anymore. You are still bored here. Why don't you go to the gambling house you mentioned to gamble a few hands?" "It's too noisy, just like here during the day. It’s hard to talk to anyone.”
Zhao Changhe nodded: "I think so too."
With that said, he sat down in front of the counter and took out a piece of broken silver: "Two more bottles of osmanthus wine. The one I drank before felt quite authentic."
“Why two pots?”
“I’ll give you a drink.”
Sanniang’s melancholy expression soon disappeared, and she happily turned around to get the wine.
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Are there not many people who buy you a drink? I see you are happy."
"No matter how much there is, who is treating someone with too much?" Sanniang quickly took two pots of wine and poured it for Zhao Changhe, like a young girl.
Zhao Changhe thought of the various brand new unopened mobile phones hanging on Xianyu, "given by licking dogs". Sure enough, there are not too many.
But I heard Sanniang add: "Just like you men don't mind having too many women."
Zhao Changhe was taking a sip of wine and almost spit it out when he heard the words. His old face was a little hot under his disguise: "I really didn't come here to seduce you!"
"I know." Sanniang said leisurely: "There are many people coming here to buy information. Especially during this period, there are many people from China coming here, and everyone wants to ask about the military situation of the Hu people. Some time ago, there was a man carrying a heavy sword. The drunkard stayed here for almost a month looking like he was drunk every day. I only wanted to leave after I poured urine on him. Now I don’t know where he died. "
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Sanniang looked at him sideways: "Do you understand? We don't dare to sell everything. After all, we have to make a living here. If you don't want to die, you have to keep your mouth shut. Military affairs and other things, we won't sell them for more money."
Zhao Changhe said: "I understand. But I should be able to finish half of what I said before?"
Sanniang said: "The person they contacted was the manager of Huangshaji, the great Khan's trusted general Ubalu. In the past, their food was actually transported directly to Huangshaji. This time, I don't know why it was just an empty truck. Come here, I must have unloaded the goods elsewhere on the way."
Zhao Changhe thought for a while and handed over another piece of silver: "Is Ubalu's strength considered military intelligence? Many people should know about it."
Sanniang curled her lips sarcastically: "The ordinary goods in the sixth or seventh level of the entrance are not good for fighting. There is no way. As a close friend of the Khan, it is not powerful enough to go to the front line to collect some supplies in the rear market and play with women. of?"
Zhao Changhe said secretly: At least I can be sure that you are not his.
While thinking about what articles could be written here, Sanniang suddenly asked: "What's your name?"
Zhao Changhe said: "In the middle of the king's way."
“Which of the Langya Wang family is the most royal? Or do they have the same name and surname?”
"you guess?"
Sanniang looked at him suspiciously for a while, then suddenly said: "If you are really from the Wang family, I suggest you run away."
Zhao Changhe blinked: "What?"
"Herei sent a message to the tribe a long time ago, saying that his affairs were ruined by the royal family, and asked the Great Khan not to trust the words of the royal family's envoys. Now that Herei died at the hands of Suzaku, all the tribes are guessing whether it is related to the Wang family - listen It is said that the Saint of the Four Elephants Sect was there when Lang Ya was discussing the sword, so it is estimated that the Four Elephants Sect and the Wang family have an alliance. "
Zhao Changhe almost burst out of laughter, and said solemnly: "What does the Great Khan think?"
“I don’t know what the Great Khan thinks. I just know that if the War Lion Tribe knows you are here, they will fight you tooth and nail.”
“Is the War Lion Tribe nearby?”
"Not only are they around here, but they have been having a hard time recently, and all parties are eager to devour them. If I guessed correctly, this batch of Qiao family's food was originally going to be sold to the War Lion tribe... Where is An An now?"
Zhao Changhe suddenly felt that the world was really interesting.
It turns out that even such things can have an inexplicable connection, as if they are connected by a thread.
And this Sanniang... didn't you say you didn't dare to mention the military situation? Does this count?
