Chapter 22 Xiapi

Then Zhou Cang brought everyone to bring out all the swords, guns, shields, food, grass and money, and almost piled them into mounds on the ground. In addition to these spoils, there were also one or two hundred elderly, weak women and children following them out of the mountains and forests.

Zhou Cang explained: "Young Master, these people were all nearby people before. They were forcibly taken to the mountain by bandits, and there was no life in their hands, so the subordinates took them down the mountain and asked the young master to deal with it!"

After hearing this, the elderly, weak, women and children quickly knelt on the ground and begged: "Young Master, you are all the people who were forced to go up the mountain. We did not help the bandits do evil. You also asked you to spare our lives!"

Gao Cheng wanted to get a point of fate, but he would not have the idea of ​​these old, weak, women and children. He waved his hand and said, "All up, Zhou Cang, you brought these people down, so they will give them to you. If you are willing to leave, each person will have one thousand dollars and take some rations to dismiss. If you are willing to join Gao's family and become a slave, then take them back to Guangling together!"

Zhou Cang's face suddenly calmed down. In his eyes, the children of aristocratic families were all arrogant and did not regard ordinary people as human beings. Gao Gongzi came from aristocratic families but did not have such a personality. He was willing to give money and food to these people a way out! He did what he did and did not do, this was a hero.

"Young Master Gao has kindness in his heart and is so strong that he will definitely be an extraordinary hero in the future, and it is indeed worth playing for him!" His sense of identity with Gao Cheng suddenly increased a lot. As long as there is no major change in the future, he will always work hard for Gao Cheng's subordinates.

Half of the two hundred old women and children took money and food to each other and defected to their relatives and friends, and half of the homeless women and children were willing to defect to the Gao family and become slaves to the Gao family. In this chaotic era, it is better to become slaves to the powerful aristocratic families than to become hungry people on the roadside. Although they have lost their freedom, they have obtained the guarantee of continuing to live.

Gao Cheng's 300 people are all young and strong. After several months of training, they are full of energy and are difficult to vent. They can still hold back in the short term, but they will definitely not be able to continue for a long time.

"Most of the women and children who stayed there were women. After returning to Guangling, they gave these women to their soldiers as wives. With family ties, there is no need to worry that these people will leave after obtaining the skills!"

Gao Cheng had a very clear calculation in his mind, and thought of these things when he saw the elderly, weak, women and children.

After killing the bandits in this forest, everyone continued to walk towards Xia Pi, which is an important place in Xuzhou and has prosperous trade. The governor of Xuzhou has been here for many years. Over time, everyone regards Xia Pi as the capital of Xuzhou, and the real capital Pengcheng has not had that high status.

The closer you get to Xia Pi, the fewer bandits on the road. Gao Cheng and his men killed three bandits. After getting hundreds of thousands of dollars of goods, they saw caravans shuttle back and forth on the official road, and these caravans were all guards. The easy bandits were no match for the guards at all.

Only the mountains and fields far away from the city are the most rampant places where bandits are rampant. Gao Cheng and his men snatched up all four villages, with more than one million yuan in total, which is enough to last for a long time. So there is not much disappointment.

When he met a caravan, Gao Cheng sold the goods he obtained from the counterfeit cottage. The unusable goods were discounted by half, which made him a lot of money.

More than ten days later, you can see a majestic city located on the earth from a distance. A wide moat surrounded the city and flowed eastward. This moat connects with Si Shui, and layers of water vapor are stirred up on the water surface. If you look out from afar, you will find that the city is surrounded by clouds, as if it is located in the clouds.

"Young Master Gao! Xia Pi City is ahead. I will say goodbye to the head of the family. I have sent someone to prepare the clothes and carriages you bought in the city. You can pick them up whenever you want!"

There was also a caravan with everyone under Gao Cheng. The middle-aged man was the caravan manager. After seeing Gao Cheng, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, he secretly noticed in his heart and invited everyone to move forward with the caravan. Their targets were Xia Pi City, which was just right on the way.

Gao Cheng said: "Thank you, Manager Mi, for your help. If you have anything to do in the future, you can send someone to Guangling to find me. As long as you can, I will definitely help you!"

The middle-aged man opposite was the housekeeper of the Mi family in Xuzhou. He accepted his goods worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. The goods Gao Cheng obtained from the bandit camp were originally from some wealthy families in Xuzhou. If these people discovered that it would be another trouble, and Mi family was willing to eat the goods, it would be equivalent to taking the trouble. This is a great favor.

This Chris Man is knowledgeable and vicious, and seems to feel Gao Cheng's strength, so he intends to make friends. As the saying goes, one more friend, one more way, and Gao Cheng will naturally not reject the kindness of others.

The Mi family in Xuzhou is a wealthy family with hundreds of millions of dollars in the world. In Xuzhou, the Mi family is in great power. If he can have some contact with the Mi family, it will become very convenient for him to buy cultivation resources or other things.

With the help of the Mi caravan, Gao Cheng and his nearly 400 people were not stopped by the city gate officers and soldiers, and came to the city without any twists and turns.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Gao Cheng entered the Han city after coming to this world. On the avenue near the city gate, he could occasionally see soldiers patrolling the city, but these soldiers were just a little bit of aura. Although they were wearing armor and holding iron spears in their hands, they did not have the slightest majestic spirit.

"The murderous aura of these soldiers is not as good as that of the Yellow Turban soldiers. If they go to the battlefield, they will be defeated! It would be a bad idea if the soldiers in the Xuzhou city were like this. Now that the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms have just begun, the world will only be even more chaotic in the future. If there is no power, no matter how prosperous the city is, it will be just the prey of others!"

Gao Cheng thought in his heart and shook his head secretly. Apart from Gao Tai and Gao Ying, the people behind him had never been to such a prosperous city. There were many pedestrians on the streets, and shops on both sides gathered special goods from all over the north and south. On the avenue in the center of the city, carriages passed by. The carriages were signs of major families, and most of the people sitting in the carriages were children or women of the aristocratic families in the city.

"When did Xia Pi City become a place where refugees can come in? What does the city gate lieutenant do for food? He didn't even stop these mud legs!"

At this time, Gao Cheng's ears moved and he heard a sound from afar. He turned his head and looked and found two young men dressed in scholars talking on the street to the side. One of them was wearing brocade clothes, with a jade pendant and a sword hanging on his waist. His breath was a bit frivolous, and he pointed at Gao Cheng and talked to everyone and his companions.

The man around him also dressed the same, with a slightly thin body but looking handsome.

Gao Cheng and his nearly 400 men were trekking outside for several months, and their clothes were almost turned into rags. If it weren't for the explanation from Mr. Mi, it would be very difficult to enter Xia Pi City.

The slightly thin man's eyes fell on Gao Cheng and Zhou Cang, and his body shook, as if he was a little surprised. He and Gao Cheng's eyes were a little enlightened. The person who could hear them from such a distance must be a soul-refining cultivator who had awakened his hearing.
