Chapter 734 (1/2)

”This boy runs very fast. He doesn't want the championship reward!” Chu Yan looked at the letter, raised a bitter smile on the corners of his mouth, raised his hand, touched Xiaohei's feather and said, ”little guy, go! Guard Tiezhu peak and come to me in case of danger.”

After delivering the letter, Xiao Hei flew back to Tiezhu peak. Seeing that his master had gone, he chased him all the way to the foot of the mountain. When he didn't see the human figure lost, he gave a cry and flew around the air before he was unwilling to fly back.

Left canglu college, walked all the way north along the mountain road, and came to a market at dawn. This market is the center of Beimo City, about ten miles away from canglu college. The city master's house is built here.

In the early morning, the diversity market was very lively. The shops on both sides of the street were open for business, and the vendors came to the market again and again with a burden, spread the goods on the ground, and began a busy day. I found a stall and ordered some food to eat. By the way, I observed the local customs here.

For Zhang Yitian, he is a complete stranger here, and everything has to be learned again.

Previously, when Zhang Xuan was alive, he often came to the market to exchange pills for daily necessities or trade herbs. The reason why he came here to do business was that he would not bear the exploitation of Wu paopi of Baota peak, so he would rather run more.

In Zhang Xuan's memory, Zhang Yitian found some valuable information. According to his understanding, Beimo city is the most prosperous town within a hundred miles. Once he leaves here, he enters the official way.

Although there are official roads outside the city, the environment is really deserted. Only caravans come and go along this road, and banditry is rampant along the way.

Because of this, ordinary people dare not risk alone. They leave Beimo city to find a way out. Even if the caravan wants to go out, they have to hire friars to protect them.

For a long time, mercenaries are very popular in Beimo city. All the disciples who have been brushed down from major colleges form mercenaries here to make a living.

The main purpose of Zhang Yitian's visit is to stabilize the realm through experience.

After the college competition, his realm has made rapid progress. Including the two small realms that he broke through in the closing of the cave, it is equivalent to four small realms in a row. The span is so large that if he does not temper and stabilize the realm, he may make some mistakes.

Just before, Zhang Yitian planned to shut down in the cave. However, the trivial things kept going, and the competition ended. He asked people to come to the door, one by one. He couldn't get down at all, so he had to come out for shelter.

Zhang Yitian only plans to stay in Beimo city for one day, make some preparations here, replenish materials, and start tomorrow. After breakfast, he began to stroll along the street. When he saw what he needed along the way, Zhang Yitian would buy it and put it in the storage bag.

After visiting a large group in the city, at noon, Zhang Yitian entered an inn, chose a position by the window, sat down, ordered a table of delicious food, poured and drank by himself, and looked at the scenery outside the window. After a while, there were more and more guests, and the whole Inn was full at once.

So many diners surprised Zhang Yitian and thought, ”it seems that the dishes in the inn are more delicious, so the business is better.”

Zhang Yitian's idea was very simple. He didn't realize anything else, but soon learned from others' discussion that he was wrong

”Alas... I lost two brothers again this time, plus eight brothers who died when I came back. This place in the northern region is really chaotic! If the city Lord's residence doesn't care anymore, there will be no way to do business.”

”Hum, those damn bandits, don't let me bump into them again, or I'll take their skins as vamps!”

”No, those people don't look like bandits. They look like a group of casual practitioners. They are very decisive, and their skills are very strange. They don't look like the skills of any sect near Beimo city. In short, I haven't seen them.”

……

A group of people sitting next to him were obviously mercenaries. Their comments came into Zhang Yitian's ears and reminded him of some rumors he had just heard in the street.

It is said that during this period, a group of bandits recently appeared in the desert thirty miles outside the city.

It is reasonable to say that there are bandits. Banditry is rampant in the northern region, and mercenaries are enough to deal with it. However, these bandits are very fierce and have high accomplishments, which can not be dealt with by ordinary mercenaries. They are cruel and ruthless. They kill people like hemp. Recently, the caravans wandering in the desert have suffered heavy losses. They not only lost their goods, but also were killed.

”It seems that it's difficult to get out of the city this time. If you take a detour, you may be able to avoid danger!” although Zhang Yitian is a courageous young man, he will take care of any injustice, but now it's not within his ability, so he can only sigh that he can't help.

The comments of the mercenaries next door aroused the response of the diners in the restaurant. Even the waiter looked sad and sighed while pouring tea for the guests, ”Alas... You gentlemen and warriors, what you said is true. Our shopkeeper recently sent people out of the city to buy goods. As a result, none of them came back. The shopkeeper was anxious and contacted the bosses of other restaurants to visit the city master's residence. That's why.”
