Chapter 1522 Arrived in Qingyang City
Qingyang City.
A few days later, under the leadership of Meng Nan and others, after a long journey through grasslands, mountains, deserts, etc., Xia Ping finally arrived at the only human city within a thousand miles.
"This is Qingyang City?!"
Xia Ping squinted his eyes and looked at this super city, which is known as a human being, but this city is very dilapidated.
It is a pity that this city wall seems to have become thousands of warehouses and hundreds of holes. It seems that it has been destroyed by countless monsters, is in danger, and has been repaired by humans. He can feel the ancient and tragic atmosphere of war emitting from the city wall, but he does not know that this city was once How many times have you resisted the invasion of demons and ghosts.
Coming to the city gate, many people are entering and leaving Qingyang City at the moment.
He can feel the decline of this city even more. Most of the people who enter Qingyang City are yellow-faced and thin, and their businesses are withering.
"stop!"
At this moment, Xia Pingren wanted to enter Qingyang City, but was stopped by a group of city guards.
"You are the Stormwind Caravan, right? Who is in charge?"
A city guard squad leader came out and stared at the Stormwind Caravan and others.
"I'm."
Meng Nan raised his hand, indicating that he was the person in charge of the caravan.
"It is said that you went to Dangtu Town this time to trade Nether Stone. Now that you have returned safely, I believe that you have also obtained Nether Stone. How is the harvest?" The team leader showed a greedy look.
The hearts of the storm caravan and others suddenly tightened. Seeing the captain's expression, they didn't know that they were being targeted, and they might be extorted.
Moreover, they also knew this team leader, whose name was Gao Ding. It was said that he was related to the city lord of Qingyang City.
Even if this Gao Ding is greedy and is targeted by this guy, they will probably be stripped of their skins.
Meng Nan was even more so angry that he didn't know who he was going to do in Dangtu Town, and who leaked it out. Now that they are being targeted by the city guards, how could it be better.
Three feet without being searched,
The other party will not give up.
After all, people in Qingyang City don't know the reason why little devils are difficult to deal with, especially the city guards who hold power, and it is a nightmare for countless caravans. 40% or 50% of their profits are often snatched away, resulting in heavy losses.
"Captain Gao Ding, I did go to Dangtu Town, but I didn't trade any ghost stones. We encountered ghosts on the way and ran back without a dime." Meng Nan cried poor, in fact In this way, all the dark stones are on Xia Ping, and they have no chance to get the dark stones at all, and this transaction is considered a waste.
But this time Xia Ping killed thousands of petrified snakes. Although most of the snake meat was eaten by Xia Ping, the skin, scales, teeth, etc. left by the petrified snakes were extremely precious materials. Great value.
Xia Ping looked down on these things, like garbage, but for them, it was a huge gain. If they got a treasure, it could be considered to make up for the loss of this transaction, and it could even be said to be a big profit.
"Crap, continue to tease me, if you encounter ghosts, where are you still alive to run back."
Gao Ding stared at Meng Nan and the others, and sneered: "In short, this time you need to pay five dark stones to enter the city, and you are not allowed to enter Qingyang City if one is less."
He had received news that the residents of Dangtu Town had obtained a lot of Nether Stones. If the Stormwind Caravan went to Dangtu Town to trade, they would have gotten a lot of Nether Stones this time.
Originally, he also wanted to go to Dangtu Town, but the problem was that Qingyang City was too far away from Dangtu Town, and the journey was dangerous, with demons and ghosts appearing, and every time he went out, it was a life-and-death crisis.
It can be said that everyone in the caravan lived with their heads hanging from their waists, and no one knew whether they would be killed by demons on their next journey.
Therefore, many people dare not go to Dangtu Town even if they are excited.
A character with a background like Gao Ding would naturally not risk his life and death to do such a stupid thing.
"Five Nether Stones? You're robbing! Usually when a caravan goes in, one Nether Stone is worth the sky, and you actually have to pay five?!" Meng Nan was very angry, and the entrance fee to the city was suddenly increased by five times.
There is no doubt that this must be Gaoding's intentional increase in price, just to cheat them.
Everyone in the Stormwind Caravan was extremely angry.
"What? You are not convinced and want to run wild here? Believe it or not, I will immediately arrest you all and put them in jail for three months, torture them severely, and destroy your family. There is nothing you can do?!"
Gao Ding looked at Meng Nan and others with disdain.
The other city guards also stepped forward, holding long spears, their eyes emitting a cold light, there were hundreds of thousands, murderous, and seemed to surround the Stormwind Caravan in a vague way.
"This!"
Meng Nan and others took a step back, seeing the threat of these city guards, they were very angry and unwilling, but the threat of these city guards was too great, representing the absolute force of Qingyang City.
As long as they live and seek a living in Qingyang City, it is impossible to offend these soldiers, otherwise they will be difficult to move in this place, and they will be troubled everywhere.
Xia Ping shook his head, it seems that the city's **** has penetrated into the bone marrow, and the small city guards dare to extort and extort bribes in public, and they are unscrupulous.
Such a defense force wants to deal with ghosts and demons, which is simply a dream. It is no wonder that everyone in this city has yellow faces and thin skin, and is extremely desperate, as if they are waiting to die every day.
"Boy, why are you shaking your head, you seem very dissatisfied and dissatisfied with me?"
Gao Ding saw Xia Ping's movements at once, and frowned immediately, there were still people who did not succumb to his own power, which made him very unhappy.
"It's not that there is any dissatisfaction, I'm just thinking, why can a waste like your Excellency enter the City Guard? Could it be that there are not many people in Qingyang City who can fight, so even the waste can enter?!"
Xia Ping is very honest in expressing his thoughts.
What? !
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many city guards changed. They did not expect that the boy in front of him would dare to say such words and provoke Gao Ding in front of him.
And Gao Ding was so angry that his face was pale. No one had ever dared to say that he was a waste in his life. Although some people may have said it before, he said it behind his back and never dared to say it face to face.
But this kid is different. He directly calls him a waste in front of himself. This is hitting him in the face. How can he bear such a shame, even a turtle can't bear it.
"Boy, there is something you can say again. If I don't kill you, I will take your surname in the future."
Gao Ding shouted angrily, extremely angry.
boom!
Before he could finish his words, Xia Ping slapped him and slapped it on Gao Ding's face, making a five-fingered red mark. The whole body rotated five or six times in the air, and one of the front teeth flew out, screaming miserably. fell to the ground.
"You have the kind of comparison, I will kill you now."
Xia Ping looked at Gao Ding very seriously.
