Gangneung City was originally a prosperous and prosperous place.
In recent years, while war has brought destruction and death, it has also brought more opportunities.
Since Jiangling is located at the border of Zhou, Chen and Qi dynasties, it has become the most convenient place for mutual market transactions.
Furs, cattle and sheep from the north are continuously transported to Jiangzuo from here, while tea, silk, and porcelain from Jiangzuo are also transferred from here. After passing through the Zhou Dynasty, they are all transported to the northern grasslands in exchange for more wealth.
Chen Chang wandered around Jiangling City and saw all kinds of merchants in the market, including many tall-nosed, deep-eyed and bearded Hu merchants. They had all kinds of goods including fur, rhinoceros, spices, silk and silk.
I asked about the prices while walking. Compared with later generations, the market prices in this era are not so transparent, and many goods are worth a lot of money. If you have a sum of money, you can definitely make a lot of money after some operations.
No matter in which era, the most exciting things in the street market are those selling food.
Various restaurants are doing a booming business, with cold porridge, dry rice, preserved meat, bitter wine, and glutinous rice wine, and the aroma is wafting everywhere.
Daughters from wealthy families strolled on the streets, lingering in front of shops selling makeup, facial hair, clothing, etc.
From time to time, soldiers with guns and sabers passed by on the street, and police officers and police officers who shook their heads came and went.
Chen Chang asked people about the location of Lou's Mansion. This time he was not looked upon as badly as the last time he asked about Lou's Mansion. Passers-by patiently gave him directions.
I searched all the way and passed through several lively markets.
In the third market, I saw rows of pavilions facing the street, painted red and green, with swaying lanterns. There were strings of silk and bamboo inside, drums and music were playing, and from time to time, the sounds of warblers and swallows could be heard.
Haha...
I heard from a passerby just now that after passing this street, you can reach Lou's house by walking another seven or eight hundred steps.
Chen Chang couldn't help but slow down. Although he couldn't go in to experience the man's blessed place in front of him, he could always take a look at the door.
He stood opposite the door and watched. The plaque on the door was written in seal script. He didn't recognize it!
While I was guessing the name of this place, a group of officers and soldiers came over from behind.
This group of officers and soldiers were wearing iron armor, and the armor leaves were clanking when they walked. Everyone's eyes were full of murderous intent, which was very powerful.
Chen Chang has already seen the armored cavalry of Zhou Dynasty. The feeling of hundreds of war horses galloping towards them is like a heavy armored tank. The momentum is overwhelming.
What we see now should be the infantry of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although there are no war horses to add points, these soldiers are tall and burly, and their movements are uniform. The cold black armor is not only chilly, but also murderous.
When he passed by Chen Chang, he clearly felt a chill running down his spine.
The temperament exuded by the soldiers who fought in hundreds of battles and narrowly escaped death gave Chen Chang a strong psychological shock.
The general who led the team was nine feet tall, with a muscular back and waist, a black face, big eyebrows and big eyes, thick hair on his ears, a steel beard under his chin, wearing a robe with green arrow sleeves and a green hero's cloak.
Like a black iron tower.
The rest of the soldiers are all very muscular and strong.
The black-faced general looked around with a majestic look. Suddenly he saw the place where people were feasting and feasting. He pointed his finger and shouted: "The man is in there, come on!"
The loud shout was like thunder from the sky, causing Chen Chang's eardrums to hurt and he shivered subconsciously.
He looked in the direction of the black-faced general's finger and saw a young man looking furtively outside the door opposite.
When he saw those soldiers, the young man turned around and ran away.
However, the soldiers caught up with him in a few strides and walked out without any explanation.
It is human nature to like to watch the excitement, and Chen Chang is no exception. It is just a good time to take a rest while watching the excitement.
This young man is only a teenager and goes to such a place. How can he be a good person?
This young man has two thick eyebrows on his face, his face is like a crown jade, and his eyes are like paint. He wears a green silk robe with no belt around his waist, and his hair is simply tied with a wooden hairpin.
It's him?
Chen Chang was stunned. This person was none other than the young man named Xingchen who saved his and Shui Ling'er's lives.
Didn’t the education in Houliang start a little too early?
Take a closer look at him. He is polite and polite, with no bags under his eyes. He is not an overly drunk person.
The old bustard in the yard was also driven out by a soldier. When the old bustard saw the black-faced general, he was so frightened that he trembled all over. Everyone knew that this was a foot soldier of Zhou Dynasty. Even if you had money and silk, they might not be willing to do it.
Receive.
The black-faced general looked at the stars and shouted: "You kid, you have sneak attacked our city patrol team again and again, but I finally caught you today. Let's see what you have to say this time!"
Xingchen raised his eyes to look at the black-faced general, showing a rare calmness for his age, and replied in surprise: "General, where did you start talking about this?"
The black-faced general had a sullen look on his face, strode forward, and asked in a rough voice: "You and I are pretending to be confused because you know better. A few days ago, you threw that filth on the heads of our patrol team through the wall.
I haven’t settled this matter with you yet!”
"General, you are wronged!" Xingchen immediately called out to Tianqu, "How dare you use such despicable and despicable means to deal with the generals when you are doing your duty? I would not dare to do this even if I have eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard.
!"
Two rows of brightly-armored soldiers surrounded Xingchen. There was no fear on this boy's face. Even Chen Chang couldn't help but admire his courage.
You know, when the Zhou army's infantry just passed by him, he still had a chill down his back.
The black-faced general glared at him and shouted: "Don't think that you can quibble here because I didn't catch you on the spot."
Of course I won’t be caught by you, otherwise I wouldn’t be me. Xingchen cursed secretly, but didn’t dare to show it on his face. He could only reply with a grimace: “General, I still admire Da Zhou.”
If it’s not enough, why would you do such nasty things behind your back?”
The black-faced general was furious. He stretched out his carrot-like fingers and tapped his forehead, moving his head up and down like a chicken pecking at rice. He said, "Then why did you see us just now?"
Want to run?"

Xingchen looked around and said with a grimace: "General, think about it, what kind of place is this? If my family knew that I came to a place like this at a young age, my mother-in-law would not break my legs when I went back.
Ah!"
The black-faced general said angrily: "That's right. You haven't grown all your hair yet. I'm afraid you don't have the money to fool around in a place like this."
He stared at the old bustard and asked, "Is he telling the truth?"
The old bustard nodded hastily.
She had no idea where this young man came from, but the soldiers stepped forward and slipped the bag out, scaring her out of her wits.
"If you don't learn well at a young age, how can you, a child, come to a place like this?"
"And you, if you open the door and do business, let anyone in, how can you make money even if you are a ruthless little kid?"
The old bustard was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly.
Xingchen raised his head and looked at the tall and mighty black-faced general, and timidly said: "General, now that the matter has been clarified, can we put the boy back?"
"Put it back?" The black-faced general stared, "There have been a lot of sneak attacks on our city patrol teams recently, and they were all done by half-grown children like you. Don't you know about this?"
Xingchen shook his head: "I stay at home every day and don't hear anything happening outside the window. I only read the books of sages. How could I know these things?"
When the black-faced general heard this, his face was like the bottom of a pot. He held his ear and shouted: "Fart! If you study behind closed doors at home every day, how can you sneak into a place like this with one leg?"
Chen Chang looked on and snickered. The young man was bold and clever. The black-faced general looked rough, but he was actually a careful person. It would not be easy for the young man to fool him.
Xingchen was grabbed by the ear by the black-faced general, grinning in pain, but he refused to beg for mercy, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law..."
The eyes of the black-faced general all looked in the direction of his shout.
Chen Chang was secretly having fun in his heart when he suddenly saw the black-faced general and others staring at him. He looked around and saw no one else. He couldn't help being surprised. Just as he was thinking about leaving, a soldier strode forward to stop him.
Him.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are here..." Xingchen saw Chen Chang as if he saw a life-saving straw.
Chen Chang looked surprised, how could I have offended your little ancestor by dragging me in?
The black-faced general let go of his hand, looked at Chen Chang, and asked coldly: "Are you his brother-in-law? Humph, looking at you like this, I know you are not a good person."
Chen slanders, where is all this?
Xingchen jumped to Chen Chang's side and begged: "Brother-in-law, save me, save me... I didn't do anything, I was wronged..."
The acting is so good, it would be a shame not to learn how to sing.
Chen Chang glanced at him angrily.
I don’t know whether you did it or not.
I don’t know whether you were wronged or not.
However, I am definitely wronged.
Who have I offended?
Who is your brother-in-law?
Are there any relatives like this that you can casually recognize?
The black-faced general had nothing to say but scolded and spit at Chen Chang, making it impossible for Chen Chang to hide, but Xingchen managed to avoid it by hiding behind him.
By now, Chen Chang had probably guessed it, and he secretly lamented that he was probably tricked by this kid.
But Xingchen said at this moment: "General, didn't you ask me why I came to this place? I came to see my brother-in-law!"
After hearing this, Chen Chang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. This little thing is so annoying.
Am I such a shameless person?
The black-faced general just took this trick and cursed: "I'm just telling you, how could a little guy with no hair know such a thing? It turns out that it was you, the brother-in-law, who led him astray, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
... Judging from the appearance of your brother-in-law, your wife should be pretty good-looking. You are so unconscionable that you actually visit a place like this. You are so damned ignorant of your blessings."
"Come here, capture this guy for me and give him a military stick!"
With that said, the soldiers are coming to take Chen Chang.
