After entering the county seat, Ghost Cry realized that the control of weapons in this county town is not as strict as that in other places in Daqin, and weapons such as swords and daggers are not prohibited, while the rest of the weapons are prohibited, but they only need to be blatantly exposed.

The reason for this is the particularity of the county.

The county seat is not big, but there are many people and tall buildings.

There are not many locals, there are many outsiders, mixed with local dialects, and the noise is annoying.

In the restaurants, restaurants, and inns, there are all businessmen with sad faces, and they are like ghosts crying, looking around for news.

The ghost cried into a restaurant, greeted the guys in the store, ordered a pot of good wine and a few side dishes, and then asked, "I see that they are all sad, why is that?"

"The guest just arrived, right?" the guy asked, but his face was affirmative.

The ghost cried and nodded, and the man said, "Actually, what else can there be, it's just a loss of money." ”

"You sit down and talk about it. ”

The food in this restaurant is expensive, and there are not many people coming, so the guy also has time to talk to Ghost Cry, and besides, Ghost Cry costs a lot of wine and food, so he simply sat down and talked to Ghost Cry in detail.

"This matter is still caused by King Chuan. ”

White Dragon Valley, there are two levels. The first pass is in the western part of the Central Plains, that is, in the territory of Daqin, located at the east end of the White Dragon Valley, and is called the Iron Cage Pass. The other pass is in the territory of Bashu, located at the west end of the White Dragon Valley, called Tiemen Pass.

Now, the Iron Cage Pass is better here, but the Iron Gate Pass is not allowed to pass because of the order of King Chuan.

Many businessmen went through a lot of hardships and risked their lives to get to the Iron Gate, but because of this paper order, they couldn't pass.

You can either bring those goods back or sell them to the Iron Gate guards, but the price is ......

At this point, the guy shook his head, pity in his eyes.

In fact, this is forced to buy and sell. You have sent it all the way, how can you send it back.

Many businessmen were ruined, jumped off cliffs one by one, fell into mountain streams, and died without their bodies.

Now, everyone is worried about this.

Hearing this, the corners of the ghost's crying mouth twitched.

This section of the road in White Dragon Valley can be said to be mostly suspended in mid-air. The road is narrow and continuous, and if you are not careful, you will fall down the mountain and die a miserable death. So it's very difficult to get in and out.

But because of this, it brings high profits. One in and one out, as long as it is successful, it can make a lot of money, causing many people to flock to this place.

Now it seems that there are quite a few people who have been cheated.

"What is this King of Sichuan going to do?"

The ghost cried and couldn't understand, and the guy couldn't answer. After a long time, he said, "Maybe it's a lack of money, right?"

Speaking of this, he was embarrassed to laugh to himself. How could King Chuan be short of money. The richest place in the whole Bashu is Tianfu City, which is nominally under the control of Tianfu City, but in fact, the King of Sichuan is the real master there. With Tianfu City in his hands, how could he be short of money.

But I can't think of any other reason than that.

As soon as his iron gate was closed, he immediately killed a large number of people, not only offended these merchants, offended Daqin, but also offended a large number of wealthy families in Bashu. This move is clearly brain-dead.

However, why would the Iron Gate Guards be so cooperative?

There is a lot of oil and water in Tiemen Pass, and the situation there is very complicated, and it is by no means something that can be controlled by King Sichuan with a single order.

Ghost Cry's brow furrowed, such a situation was very bad for him.

"The guest officer is also a merchant?" the man asked.

The ghost cried and shook his head: "I was originally from Shu, I have been wandering outside for ten years, and I want to go home and return to my roots, and now it looks like ...... Alas!"

"I see, I see that the guest officer looks majestic, the momentum is amazing, there must be a good martial arts, and he is a Shu person, if he is alone, he can also try to bypass the iron gate. ”

Ghost Cry's eyes lit up: "How to bypass." ”

The guy said, "The guest officer might as well charter a box." ”

"Yes, but don't lie to me. With that, Devil Cry stared at the man.

Suddenly, the guy broke out in a cold sweat and trembled slightly. smiled dryly, and waved his hand again and again: "Where do you dare to coax the guest officer." ”

"That's fine. ”

The ghost cried to the box and ordered a table of food. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and the ghost cried, "Come in." ”

The man walked in with an old man dressed in patched linen, the old man was thin, his cheekbones were high and bulging, his cheeks were sunken, and his gray beard was mixed together and drooped down to his chest. His hands were like chicken feet, with long gray nails, which were not sharp, but thick and straight. And at his waist, with an iron sword, it does not look like a good sword, without any decoration, but it is very cleanly maintained.

Ghost Cry stood up and arched his hand: "The old man's surname." ”

"Don't give your surname Wu, boy, what about you?"

"I'm crying under the ghost. ”

"Ghost cry. The old man surnamed Wu thought for a while, and then looked at the ghost crying carefully: "Yang An?"

"It's down there. ”

The old man surnamed Wu laughed: "Good boy, I've heard of you." ”

Speaking of this, the old man surnamed Wu closed his mouth, and the eyes of the two looked at the guy, who closed the door and left.

"Seniors know how to bypass the Iron Gate?"

"Let's not talk about that, let's fill my stomach. As he spoke, the old man surnamed Wu was unceremonious, grabbed the hot chicken on the plate, tore it open and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ghost Cry didn't eat much, but the old man ate it. The old man ate quickly, and in less than half an hour, he ate the dishes on the table cleanly, and even the plates were licked to the point that there was no grease left, as if they had been washed.

After eating, he took care of himself and poured the wine jug into his mouth, burped, loosened the belt of his trousers, and then said: "My family has worshiped the mountain god of Bailong Mountain for generations, and the king of Sichuan specially came to say hello, so that my mountain god is not allowed to help the merchants." But you're not a businessman, and you're still a Shu person, so you're not in that category. ”

"And what do I have to give?"

The old man smiled: "Don't be so serious, just offer incense." ”

The ghost cried and asked, "How much?"

The old man replied, "One or two lines of silver and one stick of incense, and one person should offer three sticks of incense." ”

"What about a horse?"

"A horse counts as two. ”

Ghost crying eyelids jumped, good guy, I asked him for 12 taels of silver in one breath. But what can I do, the ghost cry can only agree: "Okay!"

"Tomorrow, you go to the Iron Cage Pass, and I will find you. ”

"Okay!" Ghost Cry glanced deeply at the old man surnamed Wu, and the old man surnamed Wu smiled indifferently.

Back at the inn, Ghost Cry told Cai Wei that. Cai Wei was a little worried: "Big brother ghost, he shouldn't be a liar, right?"

"It's not. Devil Cry shook his head affirmatively.

The iron armor of the unjust soul has already seen the true body of this old man surnamed Wu. It's just that he was curious in his heart, why did this old man surnamed Wu do this in person.
