Chapter 62
Accompanied by the receding sound of ground vibrations, the caravan vehicles rushed towards the city at high speed.

"Ah Qing, can you go to the city today?" Rui Xi asked in the carriage when she heard the noise outside.

"It's coming soon, mother. You can go to the city to rest at night, and replenish some medicinal materials by the way." Zhao Qing pulled the reins, and the ox began to trot.

Ruixi's injury has improved somewhat after Zhao Qing's internal strength was achieved, and she needs to buy a batch of medicinal materials to strengthen her body and replenish her energy.

In fact, Zhao Qing originally thought of asking her to practice Shenzhao Kungfu with him, to cooperate internally and externally, and speed up the treatment.

However, in addition to overcoming the difficulties in teaching, Ruixi is now physically weak and has internal injuries, so it is extremely difficult to generate true energy on her own.Even if some achievements are to be made, it may take at least ten or twenty years, and the results will be slow.

Therefore, for Ruixi's internal injury, Zhao Qing still planned to use his unspeakable judgment, and waited until he had made breakthroughs in strength and internal strength before starting formal treatment.

……

In the evening, outside the tall city gate of Chongquanyi, a lightly loaded ox cart slowly stopped.

Zhao Qing wore a bamboo hat, sat on the front of the car and pulled the reins, looked to both sides, and saw that the city wall extended several miles to both sides, and the height was about four or five feet, and all he could see was a grayish-yellow color .

Judging from the appearance, the material of this city wall should be compacted rammed earth, which is relatively easy to build.In the area farther away from the city gate, there are still some small dry cracks and small damaged potholes on the city wall, which look quite old and outdated.

The two soldiers in leather armor waved the bronze daggers in their hands, signaling to check them out.

Zhao Qing sat still at the front of the car, flicked his left hand, and two big Ge coins flew towards the soldier's face. They were so shocked that they retreated quickly, but when they were about to hit, they suddenly fell down and hung on the on the straps of their leather armor.

Seeing that the opponent was a martial artist with strong skills, the two soldiers immediately understood the reason and withdrew their spears.One of them reminded: "Girl, if you want to stay overnight, the places where you can stay in the city are mainly located in the east of the city."

After thanking him, Zhao Qing drove the ox cart to the city.

The overall scale of Chongquan City is not below that of Jingzhou City in the world of Liancheng Jue, but the number of people still active on the streets at night is much smaller, and there is no excitement to see.

The ape man lay on the roof of the carriage, opened his bright black eyes, and looked curiously at the human city.

The bullock cart turned and turned, and after driving for a while, it had already entered the east of the city.Zhao Qing jumped off the front of the car and told Mr. Yuan to guard the ox cart and wait on the spot, while he took off his purse and went to find the hotel.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, hotels run by folks appeared. "Guoyu" records that Fu Yang, the prince of the state of Jin, passed through Ningyi in the state of Lu when he returned from the state of Wei, and stayed in the "Ni Lu" opened by Ning Ying's family.This "reverse travel" refers to hotels and inns.

Just as Zhao Qing was walking on the street in the east of the city, when she turned a street, she suddenly saw a large number of vehicles blocking the street in the distance.There was a noisy sound from there, as if there was some dispute, and there were still many pedestrians watching.

When she got closer, she suddenly discovered that those vehicles were actually the Duanmu family's caravan that she had seen at noon.

At this moment, twenty or thirty carriages lined up in a long line, occupying most of the street.Thirty or forty soldiers with short spears surrounded the caravan from the front and rear, and confronted more than a dozen caravan guards who drew bronze swords.

Soldiers represent the army and the government, so they shouldn't be robbing openly, right?Zhao Qing frowned slightly, lowered the bamboo hat on his head, and blended in with the onlookers.

"What is Peng Kui, the governor of the city, doing? I have lived in this city for four or five years, and his reputation has always been good. How did he do something that forced foreign merchants to buy and sell?"

A middle-aged man wearing silk silk and jade ornaments around his waist said sadly that he seemed to be a businessman too.

"Where did this team of merchants come from? They actually used such a luxurious carriage to transport goods, and they were able to withstand the pressure of the magistrate. Do they also have the status of nobles?"

Another blue-shirted old man muttered to himself, judging from his ignorance of the lettering on the vehicle and the clothes on his body, he might be a low-level retainer of the nobles in the city.

"This matter is a bit strange, and I don't know how long it will take to know the result. Let's go back and rest after watching it for a while." These were the words of a commoner couple not far away.

Strong buying and strong selling?This kind of thing sounds quite disgusting, and the governor of the city, Peng Kui, should be the highest official of the city.Otherwise, relying on Zigong's reputation, the Duanmu family wouldn't be treated like this.

Although dissatisfied with Peng Kui's behavior, Zhao Qing is not prepared to help the caravan.Who knows how many troops Chung Quan Zai can mobilize?In case thousands of people came, it didn't matter if I was surrounded by counterattacks, I was afraid that it would affect my mother.

There is no medicine for regret in this world, unlike Dreaming into the Heavens, which has no side effects, in the main world, Zhao Qing has always acted cautiously.

Moreover, in this city, it is entirely possible that there are experts who surpass him.

"Sell more melons, sell more melons, three for a dollar!" A pockmarked young man carrying a bamboo basket yelled from the side.

Zhao Qing turned his head and saw that the bamboo basket was full of long strips of green melons and fruits, some of which looked like gourds, which seemed to be very thirst-quenching.

The young melon seller put the bamboo basket on the ground, sat down and continued to shout.

Selling melons to people who eat melons?Zhao Qing smiled, ready to buy one to try the taste.

"Girl, do you want to know the real reason why Yizai buys and sells? My old pockmarked man has always been well informed. As long as you buy three melons, I won't tell others, but you." Suddenly, the pockmarked young man Moved towards Zhao Qing, and said mysteriously.

This melon seller is probably cheating money with news.Zhao Qing was a little speechless, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the other party's new words.

"Don't go, girl. This time, my old pockmark not only told you the reason, but also gave you three melons for nothing."

Why are you so anxious to make me eat melon?Drugged?Zhao Qing was vigilant, and said lightly, "Then tell me why the caravan was besieged."

"Ask me first," the pockmarked young man lowered his voice, "Miss, are you passing by Chungquan, are you going to the capital of the capital to participate in the selection of female officials of the State of Yue?"

Female officer selection?What's happening here?Zhao Qing was puzzled.As for the pockmarked young man, she was not surprised to see that he was passing by here. After all, he was walking in the east of the city with a purse, and most of them were passing by looking for accommodation.

"Miss, don't you know? The king ordered the whole country more than two months ago to search for beauties to enter the palace. If they are beautiful, they will be rewarded with a reward ranging from a hundred to ten thousand gold. At the same time, there is also a bounty for those who recommend it."

The young man looked at Zhao Qing's appearance carefully, and exclaimed: "I see that the girl's appearance is unique, and there may not be a few people in this whole Chungquan Town who can compare. If you go to the palace to participate in the selection, you will definitely not be picked. possible."

Isn't Goujian trying his luck, and still has time to search for beauties?It should be picking the executive candidate for the "Beauty Trick", Zhao Qing thought in his heart.

However, this young man is still knowledgeable and overestimated his appearance.The country of Yue here has at least a few billion people, so it is extremely difficult to stand out.

The real top beauties are only Xi Shi and Zheng Dan.

Compared with Ling Shuanghua, his appearance is a little worse. Even if he really participates in the selection, the possibility of this person getting the recommendation reward is zero.

The most important thing is that my ideal is to practice to become the number one master in Yue, and even the best in the whole world, not to go to Fu Chai.
