Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 322 Travel 2
"What, you mean..." Zhang Cheng was startled.Is there any other reason behind this matter?
"According to common sense, since Laiyi built a city and allowed trade, there must be a consensus internally. At least everyone has been persuaded not to eat foreign guests. Otherwise, what is the point of building a city for Laiyi? Could it be used as bait, lure Recruiting prey? But if you think about it from another angle, the situation is different. Who can benefit from killing Zhu Xia who came back to the city?"

Zhang Cheng fully agrees with this view.After all, Lai Yi is a very good race that can live independently in the sea.If it is purely for survival, they don't need to build a broken city on land at all.The marine race doesn't have this need at all.

"Laiyi is unique after all, and they have many specialties." Zhang Cheng said.He also understood what Qi Wen meant now.It is also very simple to say, that is, money touches people's hearts.As the only sea-dwelling race, Lai Yi naturally has many special products that are rare on land and have high value.Therefore, returning to the city as a trading center will generate a lot of benefits.The other races on Dongyi's side want to take this benefit into their own hands, instead of letting Zhu Xia intervene to share.

If you want to monopolize the benefits, a simple and rude way is to kill all the merchants of Zhuxia who dare to come to Guicheng.

"But, Laiyi...shouldn't allow this kind of thing? Otherwise, they can simply announce that Zhu Xia is prohibited from entering the city."

"Lai Yi is a barbarian after all, what do they know?" Qi Wen curled his lips, "Young Master Zhang Cheng doesn't travel very often, does he? I mean, do you have any experience of traveling to foreign lands?"

"I dare not say that I have never traveled far, but it is indeed my first time here." Zhang Cheng said.

"You can know why most Dongyi merchants stopped at Yingqiu? Why didn't they continue to go to the inland Zhuxia cities?"

"This... probably isn't safe." Zhang Cheng answered after thinking for a while.He thought of the alien business travelers he had met in Xiaxu.Doctor Kunwu clearly pointed out at the time that in order to ensure safety, Dongyi's response team must have masters sitting in command.On the contrary, a person like Xia An can be a traveling merchant by himself.It can be seen that Dongyi merchants entering the territory of Zhuxia is far more dangerous than doing business in their own sphere of influence.Of course, the opposite is true for Zhu Xia.

"Yes!" Qi Wen clapped his hands and smiled. "From Yingqiu to the east, it's okay within thirty miles, and thirty miles away is the land of Dongyi. Anything can happen here. From Yingqiu to Guicheng, according to Dongyi merchants Well, that's about seven or eight days' journey. During the seven or eight days' journey, there are at least three Huaiyi or Wanyi tribes on the way. It is said that some Fengyi have moved here recently. All in all, this place is very chaotic. Don't worry. You're right about Zhuxia, there are attacks and killings among Dongyi from time to time. If merchants die on this road, no one cares about it at all."

Isn't it as simple as it seems?Thinking about it, Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking. "Do you have a map of the vicinity?"

"There are maps, and you should be able to buy them everywhere. After all, Guicheng used to be the city of Zhu Xia...but it's useless. You don't need a map here. Just go east, walk along the Daxi, and you should be able to walk to the seaside. It’s only right to find Guicheng.”

"Daxi? River... so it's best to walk along the river? Use a boat!?" Zhang Cheng suddenly discovered something.There are too many Dongyi forces on the ground, which is very troublesome, so they simply pass through the water.

"It's a pity that there are Laiyi in this river." Qi Wen sighed. "More than ten years ago, there was Lai Yi who copied the camp from the waterway."

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Lai Yi who had returned to the city was hard to say, but the other Lai Yi probably hadn't changed their living habits.

There are dangers on land, as well as in water.Of course, the dangers themselves were to be expected.Under normal circumstances, Zhang Cheng could not care about it at all. Those Dongyi who dared to provoke him would treat it as a way to fight monsters and upgrade.But this time with Jiang Kao, the situation is different.

If you don't bring Jiang Kao, there is nothing difficult.But if you don't bring Jiang Kao... then the gift is really reluctant to return.

After much deliberation, Zhang Cheng didn't come up with any good ideas, so Zhang Cheng casually strolled around the store, and took Huchen's shield back along the way.Qi Wen also provides enchanting services - Huchen's favorite long knife, the one made of high-quality alloy on earth, has been enchanted.It is the most common enchantment, which is to make the weapon stronger and sharper.The same goes for the shield this time.

The shape of the shield has not changed, but its luster is different from the alloy steel that Zhang Cheng remembered.Its surface is very glossy and has a soft white sheen that cannot be achieved by sanding and polishing alone.It can only be said that some kind of change has taken place in its inner nature.Zhang Cheng had an idea for a moment, he wanted to take the shield back to the scientists to see what had changed.But the thought was fleeting.

Handing the shield to Hu Chen, the two returned to their residence along the street.Unexpectedly, Jiang Kao has returned.Not only did he come back, he also beamed with joy.

"Brother Zhang Chengxian, I got a good thing." His face was full of joy. "I got a boat!"

"Boat?" Zhang Cheng remembered Qi Wen's warning.

"There is a big stream on the side of Yingqiu that goes directly to the sea, which means that by boat, you can avoid all the troubles on land and go directly to Guicheng."

"I heard that there are Laiyi in this river! More than ten years ago, there were Laiyi who attacked Yingqiu by water, but they were repelled."

"From here, take a boat down the river. Now the wind is in the right direction and the speed is fast. There is not much chance of Lai Yi intercepting it halfway." Jiang Kao obviously knew this too. "The trouble is how to come back. When you come back, it is difficult to go against the wind and the current. If you are slow, you will be easily attacked by Lai Yi. But I have a special treasure here. In a critical moment, I can summon a strong wind." He looked This has also been thought of. "In this case, there should be more than [-]% certainty that we can break through the siege of Lai Yi. Even if a few Lai Yi attack, Brother Zhang Chengxian should be able to deal with it."

Jiang Kao's face was full of pride in planning and success, and he obviously felt that he had come up with a good idea.Although Zhang Cheng didn't think so, he really had no other good solution.Maybe it's better to go by boat than by car.At least, well, there are not many spellcasters on Laiyi's side.

After the two parties agreed, they each went to rest.

At night, Zhang Cheng took out the sacrificial stone in his room.He really wanted to know what this thing was in the Planeswalker's card system.Then he gets a new card.

"Soul Gem: An inconspicuous gem on the outside, but there is a strong unknown energy surging deep inside. The cost is 0. Characteristics: It hides a lot of energy under its calm appearance, but it is obviously not easy to be used by anyone."

And that pot of spiritual spring has also become a new card.

"Water of the Gods: This liquid itself is just a preservative, but what is stored in it is far from being as simple as it seems. It contains the world's original source energy. In some worlds, once a mortal drinks it Enough of this liquid can directly sublimate to a god. But in more cases, only the gods can completely digest the energy in it. Only in those young worlds, usually when the world master has not completely and completely controlled the world. The energy of the source is overflowing. It is a pity that this pot of water of the gods is actually not much. The cost is 0. Characteristics: exquisite bronze vessel."

This card is not a source card... This makes Zhang Cheng a little bit regretful.But if you look at its introduction, you will understand that this thing can obviously be used as one of the bargaining chips for bargaining with the gods.In the future battle of gods, it is a hole card.

In the morning of the next day, they boarded the boat on the river outside Yingqiu City.

This is not a very big ship... It should be said that it is a typical classical riverboat.Flat bottom, wide and wooden.In this era, humans have mastered the manufacturing methods of inland watercraft.Zhang Cheng had seen some boats that were at least qualified in that Shangxiong village.A village of hundreds of villagers can manufacture qualified boats, and it is normal for Yingqiu to have bigger and better boats.

This river is usually called "Daxi", which is worthy of its name.It can be seen more than ten miles away from the city.Because the river is neither big enough to be called a big river nor small enough to be called a stream.As far as the width of the river near Yingqiu is concerned, it is similar to the Xiongshui that Zhang Cheng has seen before.The distance between it and the city is very appropriate - seeing this distance, one can understand why Lai Yi could not use the waterway to attack the camp, it was too far away.

Zhang Cheng vaguely remembered that on the earth, the river on the side of Yingqiu seemed to be called Zihe.But I don't know why it is called Daxi.

Everyone boarded the boat, and Jiang Kao's coachman was left behind to take care of the chariot and horses.

The man in charge of driving the ship is a slave in earth red clothes.Although this journey is more dangerous, it is a slavery society after all, and the life and death of slaves has never been the content of people's concern.But there is no need to worry, in fact, the difficulty of driving this classical style of inland watercraft is very low.It's smooth sailing again, you only need to hang up the sails and hold the rudder in the back.

I don't know whether Jiang Kao bought or rented the ship, but Zhang Cheng didn't care about such trivial matters.

All the way down the river.

The speed of the ship is actually not too fast in a short distance, but one is stable, and the other is that it can run day and night.The speed of going downwind is actually much faster than taking a car.Zhang Cheng calculated the time a little, and it was only about an hour or two before Yingqiu City could not be seen in his field of vision.This means that they have traveled at least tens of kilometers away.

From this point of view, if it takes a few days to get to Guicheng, then the distance between Guicheng and Yingqiu is probably the distance between Kunwu City and Xiaxu.But the journey is not boring, because Jiang Kao can chat.

Jiang Kao is a talkative and knowledgeable person.And he was different from Xia An.Xia An has the cunning of a businessman.Although Xia An is also a person who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable (compared to Zhang Cheng), he will cater to your words, but you don't know the intention behind what he said.On the other hand, Jiang Kao has a completely big mouth, he dares to say anything, and will reveal any secrets.Last time he revealed a secret about Du Bo and King Zhou Xuan to Zhang Cheng.But now sitting at the bow of the boat with nothing to do, he told Zhang Cheng many secret rumors.

It is hard to judge whether it is true or false, but it has indeed greatly enriched Zhang Cheng's knowledge.

At this moment, Jiang Kao is telling Zhang Cheng the story of the southern barbarians.From Jiang Kao's point of view, the reason why the state of Chu has gradually developed from a mere "huozheng" and viscount title to the level that the Zhou family feels threatened today is all due to the Nanman.It was the conquest and enslavement of the southern barbarians that made Chu so powerful.

Looking at the problem from the perspective of gods and great spirits, that is, Si Ming, who is based on the Chu people, and many other gods have suppressed Panhu, who is based on the Nanman.

"...Does Nanman want to move east?" Zhang Cheng heard Jiang Kao talking about Nanman's intention to move, and seemed to want to get involved with Dongyi.Relying on Jiang Kao's big mouth, he has now gradually understood that Jiang Kao is by no means as simple as a wanderer.Because no matter how good a family is, no matter how rich the knowledge of his parents is, it is impossible for a tourist to grasp the first-hand information of today.There is no Internet these days.These news, such as the Nanban being oppressed by the Chu people and wanting to move eastward, are by no means accessible to tourists.

"It's not that I want to, but I've already started to move east!" Jiang Kao said in a very sure tone. "The Chu people made a sneak attack recently, defeated the Nanman, and captured more than [-] mouths." This sentence means that tens of thousands of prisoners who can be used as slaves have been captured.

Of course, if there are more than ten thousand goblins, it's not a big deal.After all, Zhang Cheng had killed so many people in Xiaxu before.Goblins are immortal.

"Chu people's attack on the Nanman...what does it have to do with Dongqian?"

"Brother, I don't understand. After the Nanman was attacked by the Chu people, there was no news. They neither fought back nor retaliated. This is not normal. This shows that most of the Nanman's forces may have been mobilized to the east... Maybe they have even been with them. Dongyi clashed. This is really a wonderful move for the Chu people."

"Indeed..." Zhang Cheng replied.The relationship between the Chu people and the Zhou family is very bad, but they are human beings.To unite with the dog army to attack the Zhou family is tantamount to cutting oneself off from Zhuxia, and to unite with the Zhou room to attack the dog army is called a thankless effort.On the contrary, it is the best choice to leave Zhou Shi and Quan Rong alone and fight Nanman on their own.The Zhou family is no longer able to contain the expansion of the Chu state, and it is time to let go of their hands and feet.However, in this world, one hair will affect the whole body. If the Nanman is forced to move eastward, it will definitely conflict with the powerful Dongyi.And once Dongyi confronts Nanman, there is no way to take Zhuxia's side into account.Speaking of it, it is tantamount to helping Zhou Shi.So this is really both face and inside.

However, if Nanman and Dongyi conflict...then... Zhang Cheng quickly combined this matter with God War in his mind.This matter will definitely affect God War...

He thought about it, and inadvertently heard the sound of water, and turned his head to take a look naturally.Just in time to see a murloc flipping onto the boat from the side of the boat.

No, not one, but at least five or six murlocs were climbing up the side of the ship.This was the side he could see. If there were murlocs on the other side, then there would be at least a dozen murlocs.

"Lai Yi!" The slave in charge of the boat uttered a miserable cry.Surprised by the voice, Jiang Kao almost sat down on the deck, where he still had the momentum of talking loudly just now.

The first murloc had already stood firm at this moment, its mouth split into an ominous arc.
