Xuancheng is located in the northwest of Shancheng. Although it belongs to the southern town of Fang State, Xuancheng is much richer than Shancheng. The reason for this is the "Xuanhe" adjacent to Xuancheng.

The Xuan River originates from the depths of Fang Mountain, but its source cannot be studied because the Xuan River has two different forms inside Fang Mountain and outside Fang Mountain. The part inside Fang Mountain is composed of hundreds of tributaries, originating from Fang Mountain.

In all corners and directions of the mountain, when these tributaries flowed out of Fangshan, they were blocked by two stretching mountains, gathered into the low-lying area in front of the mountain, and then flowed out in the gap between the two mountains, forming a

Xuanhe River beyond Fangshan Mountain.

Originally, the fine tributaries in Fangshan had very little water and had no shipping value at all. However, through the convergence of these two mountains, the Xuanhe River flowing out of Fangshan became wide and deep, capable of carrying four ships three feet in parallel at the same time.

A wide boat still won't look crowded.

The first people who inspected the Xuan River felt that hundreds of rivers gathered here and then flowed out, just like Fangshan's spiritual energy from all directions gathered here and then vented here, so they took the meaning of Xuan River.

He. Of course, this is just a rumor, and the specific origin cannot be investigated.

Xuancheng got its name from the Xuanhe River, and it is also rich because of the Xuanhe River. The population of Xuancheng alone is as many as 500,000, and if you include the merchants who come and go, there may be as many as one million.

In addition to the convenient transportation, the reason why there are so many merchants coming and going is that Xuancheng is rich in iron ore.

Xuancheng is located on a mineral vein. However, no one can tell how big this mineral vein is, because this mineral vein starts from Xuancheng and winds deep into Fangshan Mountain. No one knows where it leads. However,

There is no need to explore how big this vein is, because until today, Xuancheng's mining industry has not left Xuancheng's three-acre area.

Because the mining technology here is too backward, in fact not only here, the mining technology in the entire country is also relatively backward, which directly leads to the output is not very high, so even after so many years of mining, the mine still has not left

Xuancheng area, let alone go deep into Fangshan Mountain.

On the other hand, the iron ore in this area is not of high quality, and the cost of smelting it is relatively high. Moreover, due to the backward smelting technology, the already high cost has become even higher.

However, the City Lord's Mansion in Xuancheng is quite smart. Although the iron ore business is not promising, the family in charge of the City Lord's Mansion firmly grasps this direction and uses it to promote Xuancheng's shipping business.

The development of the shipping business in turn promoted the development of iron ore, making the family on duty in the City Lord's Mansion make a lot of money, while the other two major families had no power to compete with them.

"The population of Xuancheng is much larger than that of our mountain city, and Xuancheng's economy and strength are much stronger than ours." Luo Hui said, after the mountain city, Luo Hui sat in the position of driving the horse in the carriage and

Zhou Yutian sat together, and Luo Ming had already fallen asleep peacefully due to his injury.

The carriage Zhou Kutian drove was not big, but it was very long. The hood of the carriage was also a wooden shed with no windows. Only the place where the horses were driven in front and the door at the back were left.

This kind of carriage is generally used for long-distance travel, because the hood is very long and can easily accommodate a person lying down, and because it is a wooden carriage, it is also very good in terms of defensive performance. It can not only protect against wind and rain, but also

It can easily resist the bows and arrows of some bandits. It is a relatively common type of carriage.

"The first destination for most merchants is Xuancheng. Only a small number of them will come to our mountain city. Most of the others are local families and other forces in the mall who go to Xuancheng to trade. It can be said that the main trade object of our mountain city is Xuancheng.

City, because other towns are not accessible and do not have extra resources to trade with us." Luo Hui continued.

"I want to find someone in Xuancheng, and this person may not be in Xuancheng. Do you have any good connections?" Zhou Yutian asked. At this time, the night was getting darker and nothing else could be seen except the pattering of the moonlight.

What, even though Zhou Yutian didn't know the road, the horse he was driving was able to move along the road on its own. It was obviously trained. Moreover, because there was only one road leading to Xuancheng, there was no need to worry about taking the wrong road.

And because it is a long-distance carriage, there are some defensive wooden boards around the carriage, which can shield the person driving the carriage and also provide some protection for the horses. Therefore, it is said that Zhou Yutian is driving the horses, but in fact he is watching from the outside.

Just put it on.

"Before, we were able to make some connections with the Luo family's business in Xuancheng, but now based on my words alone, I'm afraid those people won't buy my face." Luo Hui shook her head and said, "However, I have been to Xuancheng many times.

Yes, if there is a specific address, I can take you there directly."

"If there was an address, I would go there myself. Unfortunately, I don't know it now. I only know some vague information, and I don't know if the information is correct or not." Zhou Yutian shook his head and said, the matter about Hu Yu's child is relatively secretive.

, it is difficult for Luo Hui not to leak the secret. After all, the city lord's palace in the mountain city prospered because of the big family in the imperial city. If Luo Hui betrayed the matter, he would probably get enough support.

"Let's go and have a look first. There should be some gains when we get there." Zhou Yutian said. This time in the mountain city, Zhou Yutian did not find a place to exchange soul stones. Compared with the mountain city, there is no such qualification to trade soul stones.

public, so weeks

Wutian could only use the silver he got from Hu Yu urgently, and these days, whether it was entertaining guests in the teahouse or renting a house, it was almost spent. Now Zhou Wutian needed to exchange the soul stone to be able to use it.

Take the next step.

"Stop, where did you come from? Where are you going? Have you paid the toll?" While Zhou Yutian was communicating with Luo Hui, a man suddenly jumped out from the grass and shouted at the carriage. Zhou Yutian immediately reined in the horse.

.

If you look carefully in the moonlight, you can see a big man in ragged clothes with a dark face, holding a rough stick in his hand and waving it around.

However, the night does not have much influence on Zhou Yutian. Within this range, Zhou Yutian can easily detect that the colorful smear on the face of this big man is obviously intentional and actually hides his identity.

He was carrying a baggage, and there seemed to be something in the baggage.

"You go back to the car first." Zhou Yutian said to Luo Hui.

"Benefactor, this person seems to be quite strong. His strength shouldn't be reduced to this level. I'm afraid there's some fraud involved." Luo Hui reminded Zhou Kutian, and then entered the car hood, because she knew that she was only here.

Can be a burden.

It has to be said that the damage to this meridian has a huge impact on Zhou Yutian's perception. If Zhou Yutian cannot detect this big man, he will not be able to obtain any specific information. Moreover, because Zhou Yutian slightly relaxed his vigilance before, it was not until this big man jumped.

come out

When Zhou Yutian discovered his traces, this was very dangerous and had never happened before. With Zhou Yutian's strong consciousness, Zhou Yutian did not need to do these things subconsciously. The information from the surrounding environment

It will naturally come to mind.

However, on the other hand, it is also because this strong man is not very strong. Although this strong man has the strength of the third level of Yaoguang and is considered a good hand in this mountain city, it is not enough to cause Zhou Wutian a crisis. Therefore, Zhou Wutian

I focused my main attention on the surrounding environment again, worrying whether there might be someone hiding in the grass.

"What are you mumbling about? Hand over the money quickly." The strong man saw Zhou Wutian and Luo Hui communicating there and shouted quickly.

"You are very skilled and can get a good job anywhere. Why are you blocking the road and robbing here?" Zhou Yutian looked around and found that there were no problems around him, so he became interested in this man's behavior. No matter how he looked at it,

This person doesn't look like he's been robbing people on the road all the time, but rather he seems to be doing it out of necessity.

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and hand over the money." The man's strength was revealed by Zhou Yutian. He couldn't help but panic and said quickly.

"You have a child on your back? Could it be that you blocked the road to feed the child?" Zhou Yutian pointed out the man's situation again.

"Child?" After hearing what Zhou Yutian said, Luo Hui just realized that the man was carrying a baggage behind him, but it was impossible to tell what was carried inside.

"I don't know what it means." The man said in a panic, threw the wooden stick towards Zhou Wutian, then jumped into the grass and disappeared into the grass on the roadside.

"Be careful." Zhou Yutian warned, and then he followed into the grass, and quickly caught up with the person by following the traces left by him.

"Get out!" When the man saw Zhou Yutian following him, he immediately picked up a stone from the ground, threw it towards Zhou Yutian, and then ran forward without looking back.

However, this obstacle obviously could not stop Zhou Yutian. Zhou Yutian dodged the stone in a flash, followed closely, grabbed the baggage behind the man, and after grabbing his hands twice, he tore the baggage off. After tearing it off,

After picking up the baggage, Zhou Yutian immediately grabbed the baggage and took several steps back.

"Huh?!" The strong man seemed to notice that Zhou Yutian touched his back, and then moved slightly behind him. After taking a few steps away, he immediately stopped suddenly and reached behind him.

"No." The strong man yelled and turned around to take back the baggage, but when he turned around, he could see no one else. Zhou Wutian had already run away and there was no trace at all.

The strong man immediately chased back along the original road, and sure enough, Zhou Yutian was waiting for him in the carriage, and Luo Hui was also sitting beside him, carefully holding the child in the bag.

"Give him back to me." The strong man did not dare to act rashly when he saw this, and asked from a distance.

"Is this your son?" Zhou Yutian asked.

"Of course." The strong man replied.

"It doesn't look like it, maybe you snatched it away." Zhou Yutian said.

"Fart, I'm a good guy, how could I do something like that?" the strong man replied, patting his chest.

"Then what did you say about the robbery just now?" Zhou Kutian asked.

"I'm just trying to scare you. You don't look like good people." The strong man said confidently.

"You are the least like a good person here, and you even talk about us." Luo Hui couldn't help but say.

"If you are good people, just return the child to me, and I won't cause any trouble to you. It's a settlement," said the strong man.

"But you don't seem to be a good person. What if you sell the child after giving it to you?" Luo Hui hugged the child tightly without any intention of letting go. She looked at Zhou Yutian because he knew that if Zhou Yutian disagreed,

If so, she would not be able to keep this child.

"I told you, that's my child." The strong man said.

"Is this jade token yours?" Zhou Kutian said without continuing to talk to him, taking out the jade token he took out of the child's baggage. This jade token was exactly the same as the jade token Hu Yu had given to Zhou Kutian before, so Zhou Kutian felt

This person is probably the person Hu Yu entrusted to him before.

However, Hu Yu was particularly careful about this matter. When he first met Zhou Kutian, Hu Yu told Zhou Kutian that his child had been placed in a farmhouse by him. The purpose was not to reveal the truth. On the one hand, he was also on the defensive.

Zhou Wutian.

Later, after more or less confirming the origin of Zhou Kutian, Hu Yu also relaxed some vigilance and handed the jade plaque to Zhou Kutian. However, as for which subordinate he entrusted it to at that time, Hu Yu did not say. In fact, he did not

I don’t know, because six bundles were made and distributed, and everyone received the same bundle. Except for the person who actually got the child, no one knew who got the child, not even Hu Yu.

exception.

After all, Hu Yu was not sure that he would be able to escape this time. Even if he escaped, there would be no way to make a comeback, so he made an almost decisive choice and had no intention of coming back to find the child.

But things were not that bad. Due to some special reasons, Hu Shi terminated his hunt for Hu Yu, causing Hu Yu to hide in Fangshan and become secretive. Then Hu Yu met Zhou Yutian again, and only then did he have

In order to find his own child, he came up with the following things.

"Where did you find it?" The strong man asked with a solemn expression. It was obvious that this jade tablet was of great significance to him.

"Because I also have the same jade plaque." Zhou Kutian said, taking out another jade plaque.
