The latest website: The monk from the Shen family who handed Zhang He the mutton leg, named Shen Wang, was more talkative. The two of them ate a mouthful of mutton, drank a sip of wine, and boasted a word of bull 13, which seemed extremely speculative.

The Shen family caravan travels around all the year round, and they know everything from all over the world. In this world where communication is not very developed, they seem to be very knowledgeable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang He naturally catered to him with all his strength, often playing the role of a fan, which made Shen Wang very comfortable. He had never met such a good chat partner.

"Brother Shen, the world is peaceful now, there shouldn't be any danger on our journey, right?"

Although they traveled this way, there were many starving people who died of freezing and starvation on the side of the road, but in the definition of the nobles, now is a peaceful and prosperous age.

It was winter now, and it was no surprise that some sharecroppers died, since they were very productive anyway.

This so-called prosperity belongs to the prosperity of the upper class nobles, and has nothing to do with ordinary people.

This time, Shen Wang shook his head, took a sip of his drink, and then said: "It was true in the early years, but it has become a bit chaotic in recent years, and we have to be careful along the way."

"Brother Shen, most of those bandits are mud-legged, do you dare to attack a team like ours?"

"I'm not talking about these bandits, they're just turkeys.

But some immortal cultivators will also participate in it, which is difficult to deal with. "

Shen Wang took another gulp of wine to moisten his throat, and gnawed down a large piece of mutton leg.

This made Zhang He very curious. Immortal cultivators in this world are basically nobles or people related to nobles.

Ordinary bandits and bandits have no skills, even if they get skills occasionally, they will not have much ability if they don't have the resources to supply them with practice.

But he quickly thought of another possibility, "Could it be that these bandit monks are also related to nobles?"

"That's right, since the battle between Zheng Guo and Song Guo a few years ago, many nobles are ready to move, accumulate strength, secretly engage in some small tricks, and occasionally fight with each other.

As a result, those of us who ran business also suffered, and became targets of exploitation and extortion, and sometimes we simply pretended to be bandits to rob and kill caravans. "

"This kind of thing happened,

Does the dynasty care? "

"It should be out of control. I heard that the current king is not very old, and his cultivation is not as good as that of the imperial court. Fortunately, there are a few loyal veterans who protect him, so that he can keep his position."

When Shen Wang said this, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, pouring all the wine in the pot into his mouth as if he was concerned about the country and the people.

Seeing this, Zhang He quickly took out a jug from his backpack and handed it to Shen Wang: "Brother Shen, try my wine."

Although most of these news are hearsay and not necessarily prepared, it is still very helpful for him to understand the world.

"Brother Zhang, this wine is not bad, it is fragrant and strong enough!"

Shen Wang took a sip of the wine and praised it, it was more fragrant than all the wines he had drunk before, and the alcohol was strong enough.

After Zhang He distilled high-grade baijiu, considering the drinking habits of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he did not plan to sell baijiu directly for the time being.

Instead, baijiu is mixed with undistilled ordinary liquor, and the alcohol content of ordinary liquor is only slightly increased.

In fact, this wine is only around 20 degrees, but it is at least several degrees higher than other wines of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This wine is naturally stronger, and its aroma is stronger.

After his simple blending, this wine can become a top-grade wine.

There are a lot of wine vats piled up in his space, which are full of this kind of wine, ready to be brought to Suifeng City for sale.

This is the first step of his liquor sales plan. As long as the batch of wine is sold, he will soon prepare for the second step.

There are many chores for the caravan to set up camp in the wild, but the white armor army is busy, so it is natural that they, the immortal cultivators, cannot do it.

Zhang He and Shen Wang drank a large bowl, ate a large piece of meat, and bragged about it, they were very happy.

The caravan traveled all the way for more than half a month before reaching the border of Lu State.

"Brother Zhang, look, after crossing the small river ahead, the Sui Kingdom is on the opposite side."

Shen Wang pointed to a river in front of him with his horse, saying that it was a small river, at least one or two hundred meters wide.

Zhang He looked around, but he didn't see a bridge or a ferry, and he didn't know how this large group of people would cross the river.

"Go upstream along this river, there is a stone bridge over there to cross the river."

Shen Wang then pointed to a road along the river. Along the way, Zhang He purposely inquired about the news and deliberately approached flattery. The relationship between the two was already very good.

This made Zhang He feel very complicated sometimes, should he regard Shen Wang as a friend or an enemy? When there is a chance, do you still want to cheat him?

The caravan walked along the river for more than ten miles, and sure enough, they saw a stone bridge ahead.

There are many pedestrians and horses passing by the side of the stone bridge, and a row of dozens of inns are opened at the head of the bridge for merchants to rest here.

What Zhang He is most curious about is that this stone bridge does not look like it is made of stones, all the stones are integrated.

It seems that this is a whole natural stone bridge more than 200 meters long, and there is no trace of chiseling.

Looking at Zhang He's expression, Shen Wang already guessed what he was thinking.

"This stone bridge was not formed naturally, but was constructed by powerful monks using earth magic. This bridge has stood here for thousands of years."

Zhang He showed a longing look, "Then what kind of strong man must be to use such a shocking method?"

"I heard that at that time, a strong man of the golden core stage took action and used magical powers to create this stone bridge. Unfortunately, that strong man has already exhausted his lifespan, leaving only this bridge to benefit his descendants for thousands of years."

Zhang He felt that Shen Wang's words were grammatically flawed. This senior used magic powers to build this stone bridge, which should be convenient for all future generations.

But he soon knew why Shen Wang said that.

There is a checkpoint set up in front of the stone bridge, and a fee will be charged for pedestrians, vehicles and horses, which is calculated by head.

Each person needs to pay a fee of one tael to cross the bridge. This fee is already very expensive. There are more than two hundred people in their two caravans, and the total cost is more than two hundred taels.

In addition, vehicles and livestock such as horses are also charged.

The ones guarding the bridge to collect fees are the descendants of the monk who built the stone bridge back then, and they have collected for thousands of years.

Moreover, the inns at Qiaotou were also opened by this family, and they made a lot of money every day.

After crossing the stone bridge and entering the Sui Kingdom, the geographical environment here became more dangerous and harsh.

On this day, they walked to a canyon with a narrow road and dense forests on both sides.

"Shhhhhh..."

Suddenly, a piece of stones shot out from the woods on both sides. These stones came so fast that a white armor soldier couldn't dodge in time, and his head was blown out by a stone.

Zhang He quickly dismounted and jumped behind a carriage to hide.

The warrior guards of the caravan were unprepared for being attacked at the beginning, and a dozen of them had already been attacked, and the rest also hid behind the carriage.

The stones stopped after only two waves, and a monk walked out from both sides of the dense forest.

"Leave all your belongings and let you leave safely."

The two robbers both wore black masks and black cloaks, and they couldn't see their appearance clearly even with their spiritual sense.

But the aura emitted by one of them was far stronger than that of a monk in the late stage of Qi training, and he seemed to be a strong foundation builder.

"Fellow Daoist, our caravan travels back and forth just to earn some hard-earned money. I would like to offer you a generous gift. Can you let us go?"

Shen Wanhong of the Shen family took a step forward and offered his own conditions. He has encountered this kind of thing several times over the years, and he still has some experience.

The purpose of the other party is to seek money, and in many cases it is possible to negotiate accommodation.

Gu Liangshi of Gu Liang's family followed closely behind, obviously following Shen Wanhong's lead.

"Leave half of the vehicles and let you go."

Unexpectedly, the strong man who seemed to have established the foundation was not easy to talk to, but the lion opened his mouth and asked for half.

"I advise fellow Taoists not to let the lion open its mouth. It's not like we're powerless."

If half of it is taken away, they will have to make a waste of money this time, and they will have to pay for it. It will not be easy for him, Shen Wanhong, to do business when he goes back.

Similarly, although Gu Liangshi did not speak, he was determined to fight at this moment.

This batch of supplies has been saved by their Guliang family for many years, and they have scraped and scraped an unknown amount of food to save this money.

Moreover, among the supplies this time, there are also some spiritual herbs cultivated by Gu Liang's family, which are very valuable.

Now that the Shen family is taking the lead, Gu Liangshi naturally can't show weakness, otherwise his Gu Liang family will be looked down upon if it gets out in the future.

At this time, seven immortal cultivators from the Shen family and six immortal cultivators from the Guliang family stood at the side of the caravan, and the remaining two hundred warriors accompanying the caravan also unsheathed their swords and put on a fight to the death.

Only Shen Wanhong quietly retreated to a huge wooden box in the convoy after he finished his harsh words.

"Hahaha! It seems that you don't shed tears when you see the coffin. Today, I will let you experience the power of the strong foundation builder."

"Aww!"

The aura rose from the body of the strong foundation builder, and the companion who was in the Qi training period beside him also screamed, which could not be heard like a human voice.

"kill!"

At the same time, more than a dozen monks in the caravan either sacrificed flying swords or cast spells, hitting the opposite side with brilliance.

But seeing a loud roar from the opposite side, I don't know what kind of supernatural power it is, and suddenly I saw countless flying sand and rocks rising into the air, turning the magic attacks of more than ten people into invisible, and the flying swords sacrificed flew upside down or fell to the ground one after another.

More than a dozen Qi training period, and four Qi training late stage in the middle period, were defeated with just one move.

Zhang He was mixed in the crowd, he didn't want to use his magic dagger, just now he sacrificed an unqualified flying sword, and was hit by a stone in the air, cracks appeared on the flying sword.

Even if he has already practiced Qi at the sixth level, facing the strong foundation builder, he still feels powerless, and there is no hope of winning.

"Tap! Tread!"

At this moment, there was a strange sound behind everyone, and Zhang He looked back.

I saw that the strange big wooden box of the Shen family team had been opened, and a puppet more than ten feet tall came out from inside.

At this moment, Shen Wanhong was sitting inside the puppet, manipulating the puppet to move forward.

This is the confidence he dared to challenge the Foundation Establishment monks, and it was the force guarantee for their Shen family to dare to form a caravan.
