Chapter 31

Scarface was surrounded by sheep demons and was so frightened that his face turned blue. He could see that these sheep were definitely not vegetarians.

Scarface was a little quick-witted and gritted his teeth and said: "Two taels of silver! My life is cheap, it's worth two taels of silver!"

With a crash, two taels of silver fell to the ground.

Scarface was a bachelor, so he picked up the silver, bowed to Yunji, and said: "A small saber, an orphan with no name and no surname. I was a horse bandit and was good at wielding swords. The name I chose, everyone holds me in high esteem and calls me

Brother Dao, I have offended the master by not being able to see Taishan. Since you have paid for it, my life as a saber belongs to you, and I am willing to be a pawn!"

Saber said it sincerely.

Ma Dao couldn't tell whether the young man opposite had murderous intentions, but he was sure that the group of sheep demons around him were definitely very hungry, and his face was dripping with laughter.

"Two taels of silver is not expensive."

Following Yunji's words, the sheep retreated reluctantly.

The heart that held the saber finally dropped a little, he sneered and avoided the sheep, and said respectfully: "You have just come to our Sha Town. If you want to know anything, just ask. I have been in Sha Town for a few years, and all the forces are here.

I understand."

Yunji said nothing, but took out a shepherd's bell wrapped with a red string and waved it in front of the other party's eyes.

As expected, Ma Dao was very knowledgeable. When he saw the bell, his expression changed slightly and he said even more respectfully: "It turns out it's the Lord of the Chamber of Commerce! The young one is really blind and bumped into the Lord."

Putting away the bell, Yunji said: "I'm just a businessman. I'm not a grown-up. My surname is Yun."

Ma Dao immediately changed his tune and sang: "Boss Yun is very lucky and makes money every day!"

"I'd like to lend you some good advice." Yunji stood up and looked at the dilapidated courtyard and half-collapsed houses, and said, "If there is any good food in the town, buy some. This yard is nice. Let's settle down first."

Ma Dao nodded hurriedly, not daring to ask for any more money, and took the opportunity to leave the yard.

Walking on the road, Saber hesitated.

Should we escape or not?

I escaped. Although I was not coerced for a while, it was basically a dream to be free in this desert town. Whoever has a high level of cultivation and a big fist is the truth and the master. On the contrary, they are all weak and pathetic and are servants.

.

If he didn't run away, he would have to live under someone else's roof and be controlled by others in the future. However, after thinking about it, he realized that the saber gave him a slap in the face.

He lives in Sha Town, doesn't he live under the control of others every day?

Which of the various forces in the town can he afford to offend?

In front of various ruthless bosses in the town, he could not bow his head or even grovel before him?

The name "Brother Dao" is only useful for fooling a few street gangsters, but when it comes to powerful men, he won't even stand up to him.

"The people in the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce are not ordinary people, especially when they are so young. Two taels of silver is just two taels of silver. Master Dao made a bet. It may be a chance."

Making up his mind, Ma Dao found a restaurant, bought a table of wine and food, took out two jugs of good wine, and spent all the twenty taels of silver he had worked hard for.

"Boss Yun! The food and drinks are here."

Ma Dao returned to the small courtyard with the wine and food, carefully avoiding the sheep. There was no table in the house, so he could only place the wine and food on the tree stumps.

"There's nothing good to eat in a remote place, so you just have to eat some." Sabao stood aside with a smile.

"It tastes good, and the wine is strong enough. Let's eat together."

"Sure, sure! Hey, I'll give Boss Yun a drink."

The area near Sha Town is either Gobi or desert, and there are not many ingredients. Most of the food on the table is beef, mutton, hare and other meats, and the cooking techniques are not sophisticated. Fortunately, the food is fresh, the meat is fragrant and the wine is strong, which is in harmony with this windy and sandy place all year round.

The small town matches well.

"There are several forces in Sha Town, tell me." Yunji asked while eating.

"There are many small forces, most of them are gangsters who are brave and fierce, petty thieves, brothels, gambling houses, inns and taverns, each with their own way of doing things, tea stalls, butchers, traffickers and pawns,

Everyone has their own means of survival."

Ma Dao took a sip of old wine, smacked his tongue, and continued: "As for the big forces, there are only a few places, such as the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce where you always work, and the horse bandit gang headed by Luo Sange. They are mostly used by veterans and desperadoes like criminal households.

It consists of mercenaries, as well as the grassland barbarians of the Soaring Snake Tribe. Among the four major forces, the Soaring Snake Tribe is the most powerful and has the most manpower."

"I've heard of the Tengshe Tribe of the Xiong Clan. It seems that in Sha Town, the grassland people can cover the sky with one hand."

Grassland people are a collective term. The Cixiong tribe is divided into many tribes. Among them, the Tengshe tribe is just one large tribe, and there are many other large and small tribes scattered throughout the Tianmang grassland.

Although the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce is also controlled by the Cixiong tribe, most of its merchants are large merchants from neighboring countries, and there are few prairie people. Therefore, the power of the Chamber of Commerce is different from that of the various tribes of the Cixiong tribe, and is more like a form of cooperation and protection.

coexistence relationship.

Ma Dao agreed with the idea of ​​covering the sky with one hand, and added: "The masters of the Soaring Snake Division have the blood of snake demons and act viciously. Boss Yun, please be careful. These barbarians have not been able to deal with the people of the Chamber of Commerce recently."

"Not too easy to deal with?"

Just when Yunji was listening curiously, there was suddenly a loud roar of gongs and drums in the distance, and it was extremely lively. A team of gongs and drums appeared on the street.

The team was very strange, with gongs and drums beating in front and a cart being dragged behind. There was a big iron pot on the cart, and a fat young man was sitting in the pot.

The fat young man was dressed in gold and silver and looked noble, but he was tied up with flowers.

It turned out to be a parade.

Being tied to a big iron pot and paraded through the streets is quite novel.

"Who are you offending? You want to boil people alive?" Yun Ji asked curiously.

"The fat man in the pot seems to be named Feng Hai. Yesterday he was jealous of others in the brothel. He started fighting with many people because of his guards. He didn't open his eyes and couldn't argue with anyone. He chose to fight with the Teng She tribe. No,

Retribution has come. The people of the Tengshe tribe suffered a loss yesterday. Today, their leader is planning to hold a sheep-cooking meeting. That guy Chiwu is known for his ferocity. He holds a sheep-cooking meeting every three days, which offends the people of the Tengshe tribe.

None of them ended well."

Yunji thought the saber was nonsense before, but it turned out that there really was a sheep-cooking convention.

After Ma Dao said this, he felt a chill running down his spine. What was cooked in the Sheep Boiling Conference was not sheep, but living people. There were countless people who died in the big iron pot of Teng Shebu.

"Then where did Feng Hai come from?"

"Businessmen, it is said that his uncle is a big businessman from the Wu Kingdom. He has been coming to Sha Town in the past few days. It's bad luck for him. Let's wait for his uncle to come and collect his body."

"The Sheep Cooking Conference is so overbearing."

"Isn't that right? Because Sha Town is close to the grassland and does not belong to any country, this group of alien barbarians dare to act recklessly and fearlessly. They are placed on the border of Jiyun Country and lend him two courages!"

"Are you from Jiyun Kingdom?"

"That's right. I've been wandering around the border of Jiyun Kingdom since I was a kid. If I don't get to Sha Town, I don't know why I'm becoming more and more useless as I wander around."

Saber is actually from Jiyun Kingdom, and Yunji just needs a guide.

While the two were talking, the parade walked outside the courtyard. The fat young man Feng Hai, who was tied in the iron pot, was dying and beaten badly. When he saw the sheep in the small courtyard, he immediately opened his eyes.

Shout out for help.

"Save me...brother, save me!"

Yunji and Sabao acted as if they didn't hear Feng Hai's cry for help.

Jealousy in the brothel caused trouble and trouble. Anyone who was too full to meddle in such matters would be treated as a joke by Yunji. As for Sabao, he didn't even dare to offend the Tengshe tribe.
