"Shen Wanjin is good at acting in secret, able to snare and control people's hearts, and is good at assassination."
"But he is not good at running a country, nor is he good at planning major events."
"So, he was able to quickly recruit people from the martial arts world in the Central Plains, but it may not be easy to seize the country in Uzbekistan."
In the past, Mo Lin worked under Shen Wanjin and regarded Shen Wanjin as a god-like being.
Later, Shen Wanjin collapsed. He followed Long Chen in the south and north, and saw all the conspiracies and intrigues. Looking back at Shen Wanjin, I felt completely different.
Shen Wanjin is good at small calculations and not good at big plans. It may not be easy to conquer the country of Uz.
"Well, you better know him."
Long Chen smiled.
Mo Lin said: "If you read too much with adults, your vision will be different."
The internal fighting in Uzbekistan is a good thing for Long Chen.
On the one hand, the troops gathered in Saar Town were transferred away, and the Uzbek State was temporarily unable to threaten the Great Zhou Dynasty.
On the other hand, during the internal fighting, the military strength of the Uzbek state was concentrated in Limbe City, and its control in other places was weak.
Long Chen can take the opportunity to contact the old tribe of the New Moon Kingdom. The purpose of going to Sakya City is to contact the old tribe.
In Zhao Kingdom, Ji Xianxian had an army as her backing, but it was different here. Zha Lisha herself was sold to Zhou Dynasty and became a slave, and she did not have any team.
Things in the Us Kingdom are more difficult than the restoration of the Qielan Kingdom.
Moreover, the Wu State is also more powerful than the Zhao State, and there is also Shen Wanjin who is eyeing it.
Regardless of the internal fighting in Uzbekistan, the group of four continued heading southwest.
It takes seven days to travel from Sal City to Mahan, the capital of the Uz Kingdom. Long Chen followed the other travelers in no hurry.
Long Chen rode a horse, Mo Lin transformed into a groom, Zalisa, and Belloya sat in the carriage.
Through the curtains, Zalisa looked at the scenery outside.
"We were captured near here and then sent to Saar City as slaves."
Belloya recalled the beginning.
Zalisa nodded and said: "It was sold from Saar City to Xixia, and it was almost ruined on the way.
Already."
Belloya sighed: "Fortunately, we can put on makeup and become ugly girls."
Zalisa said: "Those people have seen it a long time ago, and they only keep us here to sell us at a good price."
Those slave traders are not blind. Zalisa and Belloya have good figures and look like beauties at first glance.
They didn't do anything on the way, just to sell it at a good price in Xixia.
Xixia people are very concerned about whether they are virgins, and the price gap is huge.
Zha Lisha felt that she was very lucky to have met Long Chen, otherwise.
"The thief is coming, the thief is coming."
Pedestrians and merchants were running around in panic. Zarissa raised the curtain and saw a group of horse thieves roaring towards them.
"Why are there still horse thieves?"
Belloya was surprised. This place was close to the capital city of Mahan, and there were actually horse thieves.
Zalisa said: "There is a war going on in the country of Uzbekistan. Who knows if they are horse thieves or soldiers?"
Soldiers and bandits are a family. Once the war begins, soldiers are the most brutal thieves.
"Not many, just a dozen or so."
Zalisa lowered the car curtain, not worried at all.
Long Chen was riding in front, looking at the horse thieves who were charging towards them, slashing and killing a caravan. Screams were heard everywhere, and everyone fled in panic.
Long Chen picked up a bow from his horse and shot several arrows at the horse thief.
The leading bandit was shot through the forehead and fell off his horse to death. Seeing this, the other horse thieves immediately rushed over to kill him.
Long Chen didn't panic and shot a few more arrows, and the soldiers who rushed over fell in response.
The remaining horse thieves were frightened. They didn't expect a businessman to be so powerful. They turned around and wanted to run away.
Long Chen shot a few more arrows and all the horse thieves were killed.
"Thank you sir for saving my life."
A businessman almost died at the hands of a horse thief
, after being rescued by Long Chen, the businessman cried and saluted Long Chen.
Mo Lin recognized this businessman at a glance. He was the profiteer who sold fake wine.
"It's him, selling fake wine."
Mo Lin was very unhappy.
Long Chen also remembered it and said displeasedly: "You deserve to die, I should have known better than to save you."
The businessman also realized the problem. He sold a lot of fake wine and guessed that Long Chen might have been deceived.
Of course, the businessman did not remember Long Chen and Mo Lin.
"I. I'm not, I'm an honest businessman."
Mo Lin raised his riding whip and struck the merchant's face hard, leaving a deep bloody mark.
"Ah, have mercy on me."
The businessman was beaten until he was rolling on the ground.
Long Chen said: "Forget it, the crime will not lead to death."
The group of people continued walking forward, ignoring the beaten businessman.
Soon, Long Chen arrived at Mahan City, the capital of the Uz Kingdom.
There are soldiers patrolling the tall city tower, soldiers guarding outside the city, and soldiers checking at the city gate.
When Long Chen arrived at the door, the soldiers stopped him. Long Chen immediately stuffed a handful of gold coins over, pointed at the carriage behind him and said, "We sell Eastern goods."
The soldier glanced at it, then looked at the gold coins in his hand, and felt that the bribe he was given was almost the same as goods.
"go in."
The soldiers did not check at all and let them go directly.
When the political situation is unstable, everyone is focused on making money, and no one will really check carefully.
Entering Mahan City, there are houses built of stone and fire bricks, with an earthy gray color. The main streets are paved with stones, and most of the roads are made of dirt.
The country of Uzbekistan is arid, so you don’t have to worry about muddy weather in rainy days.
Mo Lin looked around curiously, feeling very fresh.
After all, it is a foreign country and it feels different.
Long Chen also looked at Mahan City curiously. This capital of the Uz Kingdom has smaller regulations than the capital, about the same as
One-third of the capital.
There are many businessmen and travelers inside, and there are many residents, including those on foot, those riding donkeys, and those on horseback.
Long Chen entered an inn, and the waiter at the door welcomed him very warmly.
"Sir, would you like to stay in the hotel?"
"No, let's have a meal and then leave."
Long Chen didn't plan to stop at Mahan City. After eating, he bought some things to replenish his supplies, and immediately left for Sakya City.
Mahan City is the capital of the Uzbek state. There is a Sabah organization here that keeps an eye on all suspicious people.
Long Chen didn't want to cause trouble.
"okay."
The waiter led Long Chen into the store, and the four of them sat down and ordered some food.
Zalisa and Belloya still wore masks, and they put food inside the masks.
"master."
Mo Lin's finger holding the cake suddenly pointed behind him. Long Chen glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Li Dajiao and Lao Niaotou were walking towards the second floor.
The caravan from Jujintang stayed at this inn.
"Well, just let Guoshan's people keep an eye on it, and we don't need to pay any attention to it."
After lunch, Long Chen did not stay in Mahan City, but bought some things and left immediately from the south gate.
After passing the South Gate, head all the way south. It takes ten days to reach Sakya City, the old capital of the Crescent Moon Kingdom.
In the Mahan City Inn.
Li Dajiao and Lao Niao went up to the second floor and sat down in the room. The food was delivered to the room.
"I'm still not used to it. This donkey meat is not cooked authentically."
After Li Dajiao finished his meal, he couldn't help but complain.
The old bird head drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I don't care. The wine in Mahan City is delicious, so I am satisfied. All other meals are too much."
Lao Niaotou is a good drinker. As long as he has good wine to drink, everything will be easy.
"No, I'm not used to eating. I'll go down and find something to eat."
Li Dajiao got up and went out, while Lao Niaotou continued to drink wine in the room.
