This town is called Nandao County. Although it is not big, it looks prosperous. It feels like you are planning to come to Ning'an County at the beginning.

But after careful comparison, the difference here is naturally far behind. At least some of the people's expressions can be seen.

If you want to describe it, the difference is that everyone in Ning'an County can live and work in peace, and the minds on the faces of the people here reveal a certain kind of anxiety.

Not long after entering the city, the market was in the market. The streets seemed very crowded, and there were cars and horses coming and going, so some places had to be left.

Ji Yuan wore a white shirt and walked slowly or rushingly. His temples were spreading, and he had a black jade hairpin with a look of excellent looks on his hair. What's more important is that there was only one person.

After walking on the street for a while, Jiyuan found that he had been targeted by several groups of people one after another. Judging from the sight he felt and the whispering words he heard, almost none of these people had good intentions, either thinking about stealing or even wanting to harm his life.

‘The world is so cold, it’s really not a good thing to be public.’

I sighed in my heart, and didn't pay much attention to Jiyuan. I accelerated my pace a little, and I walked around the left and right and left and left and left and left and left and left and left and left several groups of people.

When I passed by a stall on the corner of the street, Jiyuan stopped.

This stall is a dry cake shop, but unlike those bought by Jiyuan before, when he happened to pass by, he saw the boss who made the cake baked two pieces of cake noodles with two large iron molds, and embedded a kind of salty and dried vegetables. After closing, it was sprinkled with some sesame seeds with powder. Jiyuan smelled it and wanted to try it.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these cakes?"

Seeing that there was no sound at the stall for the time being, Jiyuan stopped in front of the stall and asked.

The old man who made the cake looked up and saw that he looked like a scholar. This is not very rare in Nandao County, but at least it is rare, and his accent doesn't look like a local.

"This cake costs two cents per pound, and one pound costs eight cents, and there are about five cakes."

"Oh, can I let the taste of this dried vegetable?"

“The taste of dried vegetables?”

The old man felt a little strange, but hesitated for a while and nodded, picked up some of the dried vegetables in the pottery jar of his stall and handed them to Jiyuan.

Jiyuan tasted it, and smiled as he tasted the familiar salty fragrance.

"The shop's ancestral home is from Dazhen Jizhou, right?"

"Uh, this is not..."

The old man said something, as if he suddenly thought of something, and immediately said again.

"It seems that the sir is aware of the goods. To be honest, this dried vegetable was indeed taught by a Dazhen person back then. As for where he came from, the old man doesn't know."

Jiyuan nodded.

"So that's it. The store owner weighed me ten kilograms of cakes."

"Ten kilograms?"

"Not bad, ten pounds!"

"Hey hey, please wait a moment. The ready-made one is only about six kilograms. I'll make it for you immediately, and it'll be fine!"

Ten kilograms of cakes are a big business for the old man. If they are sold out, most of the goods today can be used.

The old man was quick-witted and chatted with Jiyuan while making pancakes. In a short while, he finished all ten kilograms of pancakes.

After the scale, he naturally had to pay. He took out the bag of money, which looked bulging, but looking at the copper coins that occupied the big head, they were printed with "Yuande Tongbao". Since it was Dazhen's coins, of course it was not circulated here, so he had to take out a piece of silver.

"Give it, the store owner will give the money first."

"Oh, okay, the guest gave me the money!"

This old man has never left Nandao County and is not sure what else is going on. However, in Nandao County, sometimes copper coins are very chaotic. The two cents he calls a cake refer to the standard type.

But many copper coins actually do not meet the standards. The cast private coins are mixed with materials. Some copper coins are printed with exaggerated amounts of one to ten, but they do not have the weight. Many people do not recognize them when trading.

In this case, gold and silver appear extremely precious, with a much greater purchasing power, and can often be exchanged for copper coins that are more valuable than they should be.

Many people directly use silver to buy a lot of "real money", and then add materials and mint them privately. One tael of silver can be used as the value of three or four taels of silver.

It is rare to buy pancakes directly for silver. The old man guessed that there was almost no copper coins in the bag.

Seeing the white silver, the store owner was very happy and his face turned red. He weighed the amount and had this piece of silver that he had made forty cents, but now he could make more than fifty cents if he was less.

A few places a little further away, some people had already seen Ji Yuan's bulging money bag, and even saw the silver taken out clearly. Someone whispered to each other in the corner behind the truck.

"It's a big fish, and the wallet is afraid that it's all white and yellow!"

"That's right... and that jade hairpin, I just saw it carefully by passing by, it's priceless!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

At the cake stall, the silver was weighed and the cash was found. The old man at the stall tied the cake into a string with hemp rope, handed it to Jiyuan, and looked left and right before whispering.

"Sir, you are a foreigner. As far as the old man is concerned, some people are already eyeing you. Please be careful!"

Jiyuan is funny and kind and gentle in conversation, which is easy to attract favor. When the old man saw a lot of things, he naturally saw that there was a sight around him with bad intentions towards the great gentleman, and he couldn't help but speak out to remind him.

Ji Yuan smiled and bowed to the old man before taking the cake.

"Thank you for the store's reminder. Ji Mou saved it, so he would naturally be careful."

After saying that, Ji Yuan turned around and strode away with the pancakes. He walked around for a while. When he passed by an alley, the bunch of pancakes in his hand had disappeared.

In the distance behind, several men kept trying hard to follow the plan.

"Hu...hu...hu... this person, this person walks so fast."

"Huh... I mean, look at him being gentle... Huh, why is the cake in his hand gone?"

"What do you care about his pancakes? Just follow the wrong person!" "Let's go, go quickly!"

"Yes, you can't lose it."

The people in front of him kept stopping, and the few could not rest. After barely taking a few breaths, they rushed over again.

Jiyuan kept walking in front of him. Others were either thrown away or gave up, but the group of people behind him chased him.

It’s not that he can’t escape by silly, but as they listen to the topics of “slaughtering a few fat sheep”, Jiyuan didn’t want them to lose it.

In the evening, Jiyuan had already gone out of the city while circling around, and the nine people following him never lost, which shows how strong the determination was.

There is a pavilion five miles north of Nandao County, which is simply and roughly named "Wuli Pavilion". Jiyuan stopped here, took out a pancake and sat in the pavilion and started eating.

Because it is made new today, although it is not soft, it is still good to eat, at least it is not too bad to have any teeth before baking.

The nine people who followed Jiyuan hid behind the low hills covered with trees in the distance, but were panting at this moment and were resting and resting to recover their strength.

When Ji Yuan slowly finished eating a cake, the nine people there had already had almost rested, and they walked closer to Wuliting with the rope condoms little by little.

As the saying goes, appearance is born from the heart, and the faces of the nine people are more worthy of the word "violent and evil" than the previous Bazi.

"Scholar, are you very good at running?"

"Hehe, hand over all the valuable things you have on you!"

The leading man was stubborn, holding an iron whip. Before he could approach Wuliting, he was already threatening his mouth with an arrogant threat. They had seen it, and there was no one around Wuliting.

Ji Yuan shook the cakes in his hand together and put them in his mouth to eat them. He also clapped his hands and stood up, looking at the man who said to him.

"If I put down the valuable things, I can let me go?"

The nine people had surrounded the Wuli Pavilion, and the leader looked up and down at the Tao of Jiyuan.

"If you let us go, we have to search."

Jiyuan nodded.

"Then let me go after searching?"

"Hahahaha... It's a problem to let you go any further. There are wilderness around the Wuli Pavilion, and there are so many wild wolves and beasts that can be killed or buried."

Ji Yuan listened to this in his ears, looked at the few people in front of him, and suddenly laughed. Although the few people in his eyes were very blurred, the hostility on them was very obvious.

"Haha, there's no need to discuss?"

Jiyuan could actually laugh at this moment, which made the few people a little afraid.

"You, aren't you a master in the martial arts world?"

However, Ji Yuan did not answer their words, but instead looked sideways at the woods on the side of the pavilion.

In Ji Yuan's ears, the sound of trampling and breaking through the air was approaching. After only two breaths, a black shadow flashed out from the treetops in the forest.

"Zheng"

The sound of the sword being unsheathed was accompanied by the cold light of the sword body, and the person coming came through it. The moment it flashed in front of the pavilion, the sound of the sword blade entering the flesh sounded.

"Someone..."

"Puff..." "Puff..." "Puff..."

The sword blade passed by, and the iron-whipped man and the three people around him did not even react. He fell to the ground by the sword. The sword force had stopped. He turned around in the air, stepped on the pillars of the pavilion to leverage the force, and swept the sword when he turned and jumped.

"Be careful..." "Quick..."

"Puff..." "Puff..." "Puff..."

Several more people fell down because they couldn't even speak.

In an instant, all nine people around the pavilion fell down, and the visitor stood outside the pavilion, shook the blood on the sword and returned the sword to the sheath.

"Good skills!"
