Chapter 373 Neuropathy
A dozen cavalrymen followed Li Chi's gesture and rushed out of the team to explore the way in the mountains. The dog's chirping in the sky had already reminded that there might be danger.
Li Chi and his team had a dog in it, just like there was the best scout in the world.
A team of more than a dozen people walked into the valley along the mountain road and soon disappeared from Li Chi and the others' sight.
“Look at it here.”
Yu Jiuling sighed: "This place can be almost the remotest place in the Great Chu, but it is a bit peaceful and peaceful. When the Great Chu was strong, even such a remote place had been built, but no one has taken care of it."
He bent down and tried to pull out the grass that emerged from the official road, but the grass grew very strongly and the leaves were pulled off but he could not uproot the roots.
Tang Piddi looked at him and said, "You try using your mouth."
Yu Jiuling: "..."
"This road is called Nalan Straight."
Tang Pidian explained: "The original construction of this road by Da Chu was to allow the defenders of Jizhou to support the border with the fastest speed. Starting from Jizhou, follow this Nalan straight road to the northwest border, and travel day and night, only twenty days."
He looked at Yu Jiuling and said, "The end of this straight road is Liangzhou."
At this time, a scout who had been sent out to explore the way came back and gestured to them at the entrance of the valley that there was no danger. The team set out again into the valley.
"It's a pack of wolves."
The scout reported back: "It seems that a team ahead was attacked and was besieged by a wolf pack. We helped disperse the wolf pack. There were dozens of people in that team, which were juggling teams."
“Juggle?”
After hearing this, Li Chi was a little curious about how he would encounter a team of performing arts in such places, such as barren mountains and ridges.
He and Tang Pitton looked at each other, then stepped forward to ask.
The leader of this juggling team is an old man in his fifties and sixties. He has gray hair and beard, wrinkles on his face, and dark skin. He looks like a person who has been traveling around the world all year round.
He claimed that his surname was Luo and his name was Luo Yuanchu. His hometown was also from Jizhou. He led his juggling team to travel around the prefectures and counties under Jizhou to make a living. Later, there were wars everywhere. After discussing for a while, they simply came to the grassland. The Nalan Grassland was Daxi Mountain, and many tribal young people lived outside the mountain.
It seems that only their team of arts knows about this. They also abide by the requirements of the young people and do not publicize it. It is because Li Chi's team saved them, so they said it clearly.
After the destruction of Youshan Kingdom, a large number of young people left the Central Plains, but they could not return to their former hometown, and the people and herdsmen in Nalan Grassland would not accept them, so they left Daxishan and lived here.
The terrain here of Daxishan is like a huge basin. The one close to the Nalan Grassland is called Daxishan. To the north is a depression, but there is a lush grass and trees. There is also an east-west mountain range a hundred miles away, which is also a branch of Yanshan, called Beizhishan.
These young people from various tribes lived between Daxi Mountain and Beizhi Mountain. They lasted for hundreds of years and had developed into a country among the country.
There are dozens of tribes here, with a small number of seven or eight hundred people, and a large number of more than one hundred thousand, with a total of about fifty or six hundred thousand people here.
The largest tribe is called the Dong tribe. It was originally not a northern ethnic group, but lived in a place that was still south of Shuzhou, which was almost primitive.
During the Youshan Kingdom, emperors of all dynasties had a similar preference, namely magic tricks and juggling.
At that time, a member of the Dong tribe was an official in Youshan Kingdom and told the Emperor of Youshan Kingdom that his people were all masters. So the Emperor of Youshan Kingdom ordered him to summon the Dong tribe's juggling masters to the capital.
In fact, it is because the people of the Dong tribe live in a very primitive jungle, and everyone is good at climbing and jumping. Even if they are given a large bamboo pole that is not stable, they can climb to the highest point with just a poke to the ground.
They hunt and are good at using various tools, such as blowing needles and rope covers. These practices are precise and really shocking.
Later, the people of the Dong tribe continued to pour into the capital of Youshan Kingdom, relying on this
Some skills are used to survive, but life is not very good.
At the beginning, people who came here did receive heavy rewards, and some even became officials because of their good juggling. After the news came back to their hometown, more and more people ran to Jizhou.
At the most, there were more than 30,000 people from the Han tribe in Baocheng at that time, but not even one percent of them were truly living a wealthy life.
At first, the people of the Dong tribe were rewarded for showing off their juggling in front of the emperor, and the people also wanted to see how amazing it was. Anyway, the ones who were taught were that amazing it was.
If any businessman could invite performers from the Han tribe at a high price, he would be overcrowded and earn a lot of money during the performance.
But later there were too many people, and there were people everywhere in the Mun people. There was a group of people not far from the street, so no one looked at them anymore.
After the destruction of Youshan Kingdom, they were isolated from their way back to their hometown in Shuzhou. They were afraid of war, so they had to go north. They wanted to settle on the grassland, but the Nalan tribe was afraid that they would not leave, so they drove them out of the country.
They lived in the areas of Daxishan and Beizhishan, and they multiplied into the largest tribe and had the largest number of soldiers. Therefore, the leader of the Dong tribe here is also the leader of various tribes, calling themselves the King of Xiaoyao.
Luo Yuanchu told Li Chi and the others that in a while it would be the birthday of Xiaoyao King Shanhuanzhou, and they were going to rush there to make some money.
Perhaps because of historical reasons, the people of the Dong tribe also liked to juggle. After arriving here, they were originally performing arts, but they turned into the largest tribe. Their leader called himself the King of Xiaoyao, so he began to learn from the emperor of Youshan Kingdom and asked others to perform juggle for him.
The first question that Li Chi thought of after hearing Luo Yuanchu say it was not these tribes, but where did the money come from.
Logically speaking, these young people of all ethnic groups who fled from the capital of Youshan Kingdom have little money, and the gold and silver that can be circulated must be limited. Not to mention gold, the silver will be pitiful.
It has been hundreds of years now. They are basically closed and rarely contact the outside world. They don’t even deal with the people in the Nalan Grassland. So where did the money they circulate?
When his eyes narrowed slightly, Tang Piddi knew that this guy was thinking about money.
Tang Pidian pulled Li Chi aside and asked with a smile: "If you narrow your eyes, you will be treacherous."
Li Chi smiled and said, "You want 50,000 war horses and 50,000 soldiers. Who would like to think about money? I want to see where the money of this Xiaoyao King comes from. Just now, Lao Luo said that he spent money like soil, if it is true..."
Tang Pidian said: "If this is the case, we will give Jiu Mei a more intense training now. It should be too late to let Jiu Mei practice climbing rods and drilling fire rings and other things, and there should be a lot of rewards."
Li Chi smiled and said, "By Jiu Mei alone, she is still a little weak. Besides, the pole climbing and other things you mentioned are not unique skills, there are more people who know it."
Tang Pidian said: "There are so many people who know it, no one is more sexy than Jiu Mei."
Li Chi: "The main reason is that it seems that the time is too short to practice now, and it is not enough to be sexy."
Tang Pidian said: "It can make him last longer. Let's leave us and leave Jiu Mei here. We will collect money in half a year. Jiu Mei is so cute. Xiaoyao King must love him."
Li Chi said: "Sister Jiu is a girl from Chiu. How many vegetation do you plan to cut him?"
Tang Piddi waved his hand and said, "What kind of stubble is it? Isn't it enough to cut it until it dies?"
Li Chi smiled and said, "Old Luo just said that the people here in Xiaoyao have never fought. Their army has not fought for hundreds of years, or even attacked. The tribes are very harmonious. No bullying outsiders have ever happened. It will be very lively on Xiaoyao's birthday. Why don't we go and have a look."
He wanted to take Gao Xining to see it.
Tang Piddi said: "They are all teams that sell arts. At first glance, we see that they are just an army, and they may be stopped. Few people know that that place has been known for hundreds of years. If Lao Luo and the others had not entered that place accidentally, maybe there would not be anyone in the Central Plains who know that there is a small country there, so they must be very cautious."
Li Chi looked back at himself
My own team is indeed not like a team that sells skills.
He looked at Tang Pidian, who said, "This matter will eventually fall on Jiu Mei."
Li Chi said: "You are right, it's still time to train now."
He turned around and asked Luo Yuanchu how long it would take to get to Xiaoyao Kingdom from here. Luo Yuanchu told him that it would take about five days to go.
Li Chi came back and said to Tang Pidian: "It's only five days, I'm afraid it's..."
Tang Pidi waved his hand: "Let's step up!"
Li Chi said: "As long as the Ninth Sister can withstand it, you have strength if you want it."
A moment later, Yu Jiuling glanced at the two guys sitting in front of him seriously. He felt that the two guys must have dug some pits and waited for him to jump in. If he didn't jump, the two guys would press him in.
Yu Jiuling said timidly: "Don't be so serious, I'm a little scared."
Tang Piddi said: "Now there is a chance to make a fortune, but we are all too serious. The more unfair the person is, the more likely he will make a profit. It's better to be a psychopath. Let's take a look, there are only three in our team that can take on this big responsibility."
Yu Jiuling asked: "Who else do I have?"
Li Chi said: "The Divine Eagle and the Dog."
Yu Jiuling: "Get out!"
Tang Pidian patiently persuaded: "If you don't do it, you'll beat you up."
Li Chi also patiently advised: "Let the gods beat the dogs."
Yu Jiuling sighed and said, "What the hell is it?"
Li Chi said the matter in its original form, and Yu Jiuling thought about it. If he could really make a lot of money, he could do it, but he alone could not make a lot of money.
Thinking of the three words "injustice", Yu Jiuling looked back and then his eyes lit up. He pointed to the people behind him and said, "Does anyone who is the guy in the knife gate seem to be serious?"
Li Chi and Tang Pie Ting looked at each other, and both of them grinned.
A moment later, Jia Ruan, the senior brother of the Hangdao Gate, looked at the three serious people sitting in front of him. He felt that the three people had dug a hole and were waiting for him to jump in. If he didn't jump, the person named Yu Jiuling next to him should be pressed in.
"Just-selling?"
After listening to Li Chi's words, the senior brother Jia Ruan began to fall into deep thought. He thought about what his brothers knew carefully and found that the only thing they could do was one of their three unique skills in hanging knife doors.
When he heard that he had three unique skills in the knife gate, Yu Jiuling asked curiously: "Which three?"
Jia Ruan explained: "The sword technique practiced by the Hanging Knife Gate is different from other sects. We practice big swords, which are very big, you can understand it as big as a guillotine. This is one of the unique skills, called the Hanging Knife Gate Big Sword."
Yu Jiuling said: "Where is your guillotine?"
Jia Ruan said: "No more, I've been stolen by the rebels."
He continued: "The second unique skill is called Zhongdao, which is shorter than the horizontal knife you are used to use. There are chains connected to the hilt of the knife, which can hurt people unexpectedly."
Yu Jiuling said: "Where is the knife?"
Jia Ruan said: "Are you stupid? You just told you that you were stolen all."
Yu Jiuling: "..."
Jia Ruan said: "The third type is called flying knife."
Yu Jiuling said: "Aren't you just talking about flying knives?"
Jia Ruan said: "That's called a chain knife, this is called a flying knife."
He took out a few small knives like a magic trick and shook them in front of Yu Jiuling: "We brothers, all of us are proficient in the flying knife, one of the three unique skills of the Knife Gate."
Yu Jiuling asked: "Why wasn't this knife taken away?"
Jia Ruan said: "Are you stupid? You are so small that you can hide it closely."
