The cheating lord

"Ding, ding!"

the bell on the horse's neck made a crisp sound, and the caravan, the messenger connecting the two distant cities, relied on them for the exchange of goods in various regions.

"Ma Lan, there is Qingshi Town in front of you, right?, shall we take a rest here first or go directly to Huangbei City?"

A merchant sitting on horseback drank water leisurely and said, "No, let's go to Luoyang City first."

"Luoyang Town, what kind of specialty is there, or what? In that case, it's not too late to go back again."

"So Truss, your news channels are not very good. Don't you know, now Luoyang has been officially established as a city, and the city has a population of 20,000.

Ma Lan waved his hand triumphantly and began to speak, and Truss on the side quickly stopped.

"Stop, stop, stop bragging, how is it possible, it would be good to have a population of nearly 10,000, I haven't heard of any Luoyang City when I came here for more than three months. Can anyone build a city in three months?"

Could it be that the lord here has the same power as the monarch of the Xia Kingdom

?" "Why don't we make a bet?"

"No, it's not good to bet with you, an old fox."

Truss decisively refused, just kidding, you are not absolutely sure that you will bet with me?

Ma Lan said with a distressed look: "Alas, I specially called you because we were friends, but now the new city has just been built, and there is an urgent shortage of materials." I didn't expect you to doubt me.

Truss gave him a blank look, then looked ahead and said no more.

Soon, they passed through Qingshi Town and headed towards Luoyang City.

"I'm here to see what the so-called Luoyang City has become like.

But soon, Truss was speechless in shock, this, this is the city wall? God, the wall of the Northern Behemoth Pass is like this.

Bai Lan also praised again and again, it deserves to be the first city wall in the north. With this height and thickness, even the war behemoths of the orc race are estimated to be difficult to break through. But it's a bit of a stretch to shout like this.

In front of the two of them, the towering city wall was continuous, and the whole company became one. With an average height of 50 meters, the walls are insurmountable, and the thickness of the walls is naturally incomprehensible.

And the most strange thing is that the Qingshui River, which originally flowed into the city, was directly blocked outside the city, and along the city wall, it directly formed a natural moat.

Chen Mo, you can see the city wall together, right?

The two of them came to the city gate in amazement, looking at the tall city gate, it was like a fight with the giant beast city.

"Come here and check in. Looking

at the caravan slowly approaching, the swordsman who was on fire at the city gate was not surprised, and waved his hand to signal them to register.

"Name, age!"

"Ma Lan, forty-two. "

Come here to settle down, do business or visit relatives, how long do you stay?"

"Go to business, about ten days."

"Okay, go ahead, your subordinates should also register, and remember to pay the entry fee if there are goods." The

official in charge of registration did not raise his head, signaling that Ma Lan could pass.

Ma Lan immediately remembered that he might have missed something, so he quietly took something out of his pocket and handed it to the soldier in charge of registration.

"My lord, I heard that this city was built in two months, is it true?"

"Of course, if you take back your things, you won't be charged less for entering the city."

Ma Lan smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I won't pay less for entering the city, which means, make a friend, and I will have a good response in the future."

Ma Lan wondered in her heart, is it too little?

"No need, it's business, and you will be notified of any precautions or emergencies. "

Actually, he's addicted, and since he worked as a registrar the last time he migrated, he's been hooked on this feeling of pretending to be slapped in the face.

Ma Lan had no choice but to put away the gold coins and take the caravan into the city.

"Hello, do you need

a tour guide?" A half-grown kid suddenly blocked Ma Lan's way, Ma Lan looked at it with interest and said, "Oh, what kind of tour guide?" "

Because this city is big, and the divisions are different, and there are even agricultural areas, it is easy to go to the wrong place, the day before yesterday, I remember that there was a merchant who broke into the core military area with goods, and was directly detained as a spy."

The kid laughed happily, but Ma Lan didn't think so, and just wanted to ask for more.

"Oh, if it's just a matter of zoning, just ask a local, why spend more?"

the boy shook his head, "I know a lot about where the inns are cheapest, where the hotels are the most luxurious, where the food is the best, these are all very important."

The child looked serious, but Ma Lan was a little embarrassed.

"How much is that?"

"Just a gold coin, sir." Of course, if you want to give more, you can do that. Truss

, who was in the back, also paid the entrance fee to the city and came over to look at the child with interest.

"I'll give you a gold coin first.

Ma Lan took a gold coin and shook it in front of Truss, and then handed it to the child.

"Come with me, sir, my name is fawn. "

Led by the fawn, the caravan moved slowly through the city.

"It's a residential area, and there's an entertainment area on the front side, but I don't recommend staying there because the hotels are more expensive.

Seeing that Xiaolu was so familiar with the terrain of Luoyang City, Ma Lan couldn't help but wonder, "Are you a native of Luoyang?"

"No, I was originally a homeless from the Winterless Plain, and I was later recruited here by the lord.

"It shouldn't have been a good day, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to be a tour guide, right?"

In Ma Lan's opinion, this kind of child living in the slum has eaten a meal but has not eaten a meal.

"This is a fresh dish opened by the lord, and the dishes in it are a must.

Bitter, that's not it, the lord is very kind to us, gives us a place to live, and gives us a job.

Xiaolu responded to Ma Lan's words while introducing the surroundings.

Ma Lan suddenly became interested in this young man, "It's so hard to live in a slum, isn't it? Why don't you follow me, although it's a little hard to run a caravan, you can earn a lot more money than here." "

No, my parents are here, the conditions here are good, the lord didn't let us live in the slums, look, we all live in this kind of house.

Xiaolu smiled and pointed to the brick house on the side, Ma Lan and Truss behind him looked at the brick house in disbelief, and some down-and-out little nobles were like this.

"Arrived, there is a hotel in front of it, it is cheaper, of course, if you want to stay a little more luxurious, you can also go a little ahead. What time do you wake up tomorrow night? I'm showing you around. "

Okay, I'll bother you, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock. Seeing

the deer leaving, Ma Lan and Truss glanced at each other, this lord is really generous.
