If foreigners wanted to travel within the territory of the Han Dynasty, the best way was to travel through trade groups.
With a business group, they can sell goods everywhere and purchase various supplies.
Wuchao's identity allowed him to easily pull together a trading group.
Whether the business group makes money is of secondary importance. The key is to catch the cheaters and squeeze them out for spiritual practice.
"That is the Yanmen Pass of the Han Dynasty. We must pass through this pass when we go south at this time!"
In the convoy of the business group, Wuchao pointed to a huge tower in the distance.
During the Han Dynasty, the army in the northern border was constantly engaged in war, and it was normal for trade to continue in the western border. Such a large country would not stop because of war in one area, nor would it be led by a war.
According to what Zhang Zhong mentioned, the current national policy of the Han Dynasty is mainly defense. Generals such as Cheng Bushi stick to the border. Only the Feiyu Army in the north occasionally makes raids into enemy countries.
At Yanmen Pass in the western border, Zhang Xuezhou could not see any signs of taking the initiative.
Densely gathered outside Yanmen Pass are numerous defensive horses that defend against the impact of war horses, and there are also tripping ropes and other entangled with huge tree stumps.
The Yanmen was closed, and the placement of hundreds of machine-reed repeating crossbows made foreign businessmen feel numb.
On the tower, there were rows of sergeants wearing armor and holding shields.
Compared with the Northern Territory, which has one or two local wars every three to five years, the Western Territory appears to be calm, with few foreigners coming to invade.
"The legion commanded by Cheng Wushi has never lost a battle. He can defeat others, but others don't want to defeat him. It's really a headache." Wuchao introduced in a low voice: "Our legion from the evil country saw Yanmen Guandu
A detour is required, but this stability also makes Yanmen Pass the best trade route to enter the Han Dynasty."
Wuchao whispered for a while, then he suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuezhou was from the Han Dynasty, and immediately shut his mouth again.
After all, he was too short of friends and had few people to talk to, so he repeatedly confided to Zhang Xuezhou what he had seen and heard.
Wu Chao said what should be said and what should not be said.
But no one's friend would have his life controlled by his friend. Wu Chao didn't know if Zhang Xuezhou was still a friend at the moment. If they were not dead in three years, what would they do?
He pressed down the big hood on his head and lowered his eyes.
"Check, check, everyone gets out of the car and undergoes the inspection. After the inspection, they pass one by one!"
The merchant group continued to march and entered Yanmen Pass, where they were immediately taken over by the sergeants in charge of patrol.
In this important border area, any suspicious objects will be mercilessly shot.
On the city tower, the sound of the machine spring tightening came, and many people in the business group fell silent, not even daring to breathe.
"Brother, we..."
"The thing we are least afraid of is inspection!"
Just as Zhang Xuezhou asked in a low voice, Wuchao raised his finger, indicating to Zhang Xuezhou not to speak and to just follow the procedures.
As the spellcasters of Yi Zhe River Holy Land, they are extremely inconspicuous. They are very different from ordinary people in appearance and temperament, so they will not be too eye-catching in the business group.
As ordinary monks continue to advance, they will have abundant mana, which is a sign of extraordinary people at first sight.
This is rarely the case when practicing the "Heart Mantra".
This is also the reason why the "Heart Mantra" is not as solid as the "Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Mantra". Those who practice the "Heart Mantra" have their auras condensed like ordinary people. This kind of price paid makes the important cultivation techniques of a holy land second to those of many universities.
Cultivation studies.
If you go to the Yi Zhe River Holy Land, ordinary people will not find the great practitioners in the Holy Land overpowering if you get along with many great spell masters.
A great conjurer like Hongku even looks a little bit miserable.
But for those who practice curses, "Heart Mantra" is the best practice and the best means of self-defense.
As long as they infiltrate into the general crowd, there is little chance of being noticed.
After Wuchao signaled to Zhang Xuezhou, he immediately heard the sound of knocking on the carriage, calling for people to get out and check.
This made him press his hat and lift the curtain of the carriage.
"Ula wala wala wala..."
Wu Chao spat out a fierce Chinese language, causing the checking sergeant to frown for a while.
"You can't even speak Chinese, what kind of business group are you joining?" the sergeant complained.
"Ulhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Sir, I am leading the way for Mr. Ulariva, and I can help translate for Mr. Ulariva!"
As Wuchao got out of the car for inspection, Zhang Xuezhou also got out of the carriage.
"Translation? You look like we are from the Han Dynasty," the sergeant asked suspiciously.
"Yes, I'm from Rongcheng." Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "Why don't I go out to earn a living?"
"Your family is really willing to give it away, and they actually dare to let you go to that kind of barbarian land outside the Great Wall!"
The sergeant looked sympathetic.
He looked at Zhang Xuezhou, who was wearing a business uniform, and at his face that still looked immature, and felt that Zhang Xuezhou's parents were unkind and allowed such a young child to make a living in a dangerous country and other places.
This kind of life is obviously far more dangerous than being a soldier, and you may die if you are not careful.
There have been many people doing this kind of risky work over the years, but money is hard to come by outside the Great Wall. Many people have a life to make money but not a life to spend it. In the end, they even lose their lives.
To be able to learn a foreign language, one needs to live outside the country for at least one or two years.
In other words, Zhang Xuezhou must be a weakling when he goes outside the Great Wall, and then he gets involved with a young business leader. This requires planning and time.
For a moment, he couldn't help feeling a little sad about how difficult it was to make a living.
After he patted Zhang Xuezhou's body and searched for Zhang Xuezhou, he glanced at Zhang Xuezhou again.
There is no sword or sword on Zhang Xuezhou's body, but Zhang Xuezhou's body is extremely strong, and even this strength has an aura that makes him uncomfortable.
There is no doubt that the other party is a cultivator, and a very talented cultivator.
"Someone's coming!"
The sergeant stretched out his hand.
"grown ups?"
Zhang Xuezhou was shocked. He felt that his body was instantly targeted by a crossbow arrow, and his scalp couldn't help but feel numb.
Beside Zhang Xuezhou, Wu Chao's expression also changed slightly.
Wuchao's body was thin, and his magical aura was extremely tight. The sergeant mistook him for an ordinary person.
But Zhang Xuezhou did not hide away.
Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation level was very low, so low that it was nothing in Wuchao's eyes.
However, no matter how low his cultivation level is, Zhang Xuezhou is still a cultivator who has entered the country and possesses the cultivation level of the pulse-traveling realm. This kind of cultivation level is undoubtedly different in the eyes of the sergeant.
What Wuchao thought was nothing, in the eyes of the sergeant, was an extraordinary ability.
"Don't worry, we just cherish your life," the sergeant said, "You are young and have a lot of skills, so you will definitely be a great talent in the future. Why bother working in a business group and eventually lose your life outside the wall!"
The sergeant looked at Zhang Xuezhou with satisfaction, his eyes were like Bole discovering a thousand-mile horse.
He will not embarrass the business group, nor will he embarrass Zhang Xuezhou.
However, the sergeant felt that it was a waste for a young and accomplished person like Zhang Xuezhou to run a business. Perhaps with a little training, the other party might be able to climb higher, gain more wealth than running a business, and contribute to the Han Dynasty.
.
Compared with the risks of following the barbarians outside the Great Wall and running businesses, there were few professions in the Han Dynasty that were so risky.
He discovered the correlation and tried his best to solve the related problems.
There are few wars in the Western Territory, but they never let up. Not only do they have to fight with soldiers year after year, the Western Territory also has a mechanism to continuously select and improve talents.
Whether you go up by yourself or recommend others with your discerning eye, you will all have merit in the army.
It was not surprising that the sergeant was delighted to see Zhang Xuezhou.
If he succeeds in claiming credit, he will be able to earn military merit worth several taels of silver.
