Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 579 Baling City

It was night, and Hu Biao and the others had been drinking and eating meat until very late, and it could be considered that from Bao Buqiu and the others, they had learned a lot about the true face of Jianghu.

This is the way to live in this small shop, after setting up a lot of bunks on the ground.

At this time, Xu Shi talked about the sadness in his heart, Bao Buqiu and other heroes had already reached the point of drunkenness.

But everyone in the team, because of the baptism of modern high alcohol.

Even Hu Biao's "little party dish" only looked half drunk after drinking.

Early in the morning of the second day, with some very delicious pickles, Hu Biao and others ate some rice porridge and noodles, left the small shop and continued on their way.

At this moment, Bao Buqiu and his five masters and apprentices have not woken up yet.

In such a situation, it wasn't until mid-sun that Bao Buqiu woke up with a hangover headache.

After holding his head for a while, he remembered what happened last night; it was also after thinking of all the situations last night that this old Jianghu suddenly became very complicated.

On the one hand, it was a lot of regret in his heart. The presumptuous appearance yesterday made him lose his old face.

On the other hand, he was ashamed, he was also an old Jianghu, and he was not even a bit wary.

If those people in the Xuange camp had any malicious intentions, all the backbones of their 'dimension door' would probably be wiped out here.

With such an idea in mind, he yelled and cursed loudly to get a few disciples to get up.

But when Bao Buqiu got up to get dressed, at least 30 taels of silver fell to the ground under the soft sound of "Ding Dong~".

Looking at these snowflakes of silver, Bao Buqiu naturally knew that it was the work of Hu Yitong and others.

Immediately, he hurried out, and after asking the shopkeeper, he found out that all the heroes and chivalrous women in the Xuan Ge camp had left early.

But before leaving, not only settled all expenses, but also asked the store to prepare hangover soup and morning food, as long as they wake up, they can eat it.

"It's still Bao who is narrow-minded. Head Hu and everyone in the Xuan Ge camp are really righteous people."

Finally, in Bao Buqiu's heart, he said something like this...

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Biao and a group of 32 people hurried all the way, and finally arrived outside the ancient city of Baling.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in 505 BC, the State of Liang built a city here and used it as its capital.

Therefore, at present, although Baling City is far less rich than Suzhou and Hangzhou in the entire Jiangnan area, it can be regarded as a prosperous ancient city with a thousand years due to the convenience of the Yangtze River waterway.

It's a pity that they rushed to the outside of Baling City, and when they were about to enter the city, Hu Biao and others were somewhat worried.

What are you worried about?It's not because of the limited capacity of the space rings in their hands, they really can't hold all the armor, in case they are discovered by Song soldiers at the gate of the city when they enter the city.

If you really want to fight, the last mission was still Da Song's gentlemen, everyone who is used to seeing big scenes is definitely not afraid.

But there was a lot of trouble for no reason, and it also delayed their itinerary.

As a result, they never expected that when they entered the city at the north gate, they saw no. 30 Song soldiers guarding and checking the people entering the city.

But the old staff can be more than 50 years old, and the young ones still have immature looks on the corners of their mouths, so there is a huge age difference.

If there is something uniform about these Song soldiers, it is that they all have disheveled faces without exception, not to mention the rusty knives and guns in their hands.

With only two or three step bows, based on their experience, they just glanced at the past.

It can be seen that these step bows have been neglected in maintenance, or have not been maintained at all. The bow body has obvious deformation, and the bowstring is seriously damp and weakened.

Anyway, if you use this thing to fight, it will be the group of archery players in the team, don't count on bow strength and accuracy.

Talk!Hu Biao and others had a group of more than [-] people, most of them were Kong Wu's powerful men, and they looked like they carried long spears and short knives with them.

When they entered the city, a young general who looked like the deputy head of the Song Army also saw their intentions.

He lazily touched the handle of a waist knife, and led the two of them forward with a loose body, seemingly intending to interrogate Hu Biao and others.

But when Yang Dongli tried, secretly delivered a piece of silver of about three taels.

The little school immediately put on a smiling face, not only did not have the slightest intention of questioning, but nodded and bowed, watching Hu Biao and others enter the city.

As for these unkind people, what are they going to do if they want to enter the city?There is no question at all...

It is reasonable to say that Hu Biao and others should be happy to enter the city so easily.

But when I thought about it, even the defenders of a big city like Baling in the Southern Song Dynasty were in such a mess; even if those Song troops on the front line were elite, how could they be any better?
The opponent they need to face is the Mongolian iron cavalry who are in their heyday and are almost hitting the Danube.

Immediately, Hu Biao and others couldn't feel happy at all.

With such bad emotions, Yang Dongli randomly found a passerby and asked where the local market for selling animals in the city was, and everyone walked straight to the north of the city.

Because on this road, almost the entire Baling City passed through the city; everyone can be regarded as the appearance of this thousand-year-old city, all in their eyes.

Talk!Regardless of the fact that Hu Biao and others have participated in system missions for the seventh time.

But it is pitiful to say that this is the first time they have come to the land of Jiangnan.

As a result, after walking in it, it really wasn't in the previous missions, those small towns like Kucha and Loulan in the Western Regions, and Pingzhou and Huangtubao in the North.

Even if it is afternoon now, it is not the busiest time in Baling City.

But on the street, there are still many people coming and going, and it is very lively.

On both sides, special products from the north and the south are sold, wine shops that operate all kinds of food, and cottages full of colorful prostitutes. There are all kinds of these.

Businessmen with big bellies swaggered by with their servants; officials sat in sedan chairs, full of indescribable majesty, full of an appearance of extreme prosperity.

But this kind of prosperity, and those smiling faces wanton enjoyment.

In the eyes of Hu Biao and others, they feel that everything in front of them is an indescribable deformity; they always feel that all of these are like a beautiful soap bubble in the sun. Poke it and it will break...

*****
After inquiring all the way, after spending about half an hour, Hu Biao and others finally arrived at a cattle market in the north of the city.

But it took a little time, and after walking around in a hurry, the faces of all the veterans were not looking good.

Without him!In this large-scale market, most of the sales are livestock such as cattle and sheep, and then there are donkeys and mules.

There are not no horses, but only one of the largest livestock shops sells them, and they are all of that kind of low Sichuan horse.

It's not that Sichuan horses are bad, they are suitable for walking in mountains with heavy loads, and feeding them is quite simple.

The key problem is that it is completely unacceptable to use it as a horse.

Basically, if Hu Biao, a man in his early 1.8 meters, rode on it, even if his feet did not directly step on the ground, the hanging pair of feet would not be far from the ground.

What the hell!If you ride them on the road, you will feel that you are cruel to animals.

In desperation, Yang Dongli took out a handful of pearls, and in front of the shopkeeper who is known as the largest livestock dealer in Baling City, he said in a low voice:

"Shopkeeper, if you can get me a batch of usable war horses, the price is not a problem.

One pearl is exchanged for one horse. We need at least 28 horses, one for the horse and the other for the pearl. "

Seeing those cultured pearls that were big and round, and the wholesale price would cost two hundred in the modern plane, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately.

Quickly glanced to the left and right, and found no outsiders, then lowered his voice and said: "Yes, but you have to wait for an hour or two and pay some deposit."

"It's okay, after you're ready, take your war horse to the best Huarong Inn in the city, just make a deal with us, we're going to stay there tonight."

While speaking, Yang Dongli threw the three pearls in his hand like garbage.

This understatement is completely equivalent to smashing people with hundreds of US dollar bills in the modern world. The level of arrogance is breathtaking...
