Shazhou is the last place with people in the west of Chen State
After leaving Shazhou, less than ten miles north of Yangguan, more than one hundred miles northwest is Yumen Pass. Outside Yangguan Yumen Pass, it is already the boundary of the Western Regions.
Shazhou is located on the edge of the desert and is surrounded by the desert Gobi. It is water-deficient for many years. People have been suffering from sand for a long time. In Shazhou City, gray cloth can be seen everywhere to prevent people from sucking in sand and dust.
Women rarely go out, even if they go out, they must be covered with a veil. The weather here is dry and the wind and sand are strong, which will cause great harm to their delicate skin.
Although Shazhou is remote, it is not poor
This is because this is the only place for merchants from the Western Regions and Chen State to enter and exit the customs. A large number of caravans stay here every month. Some of them are Chen State going to the Western Regions from the Chen State to the Western Regions, and some are Western Regions merchants entering the customs from the Western Regions. The goods of these merchants stay in Shazhou and have to pay a part of the customs duty.
Whether it is the merchants of the Western Regions selling specialties of the Western Regions to the Chen State, or the merchants of the Chen State brought silk tea and other flowers to the Western Regions, they cannot avoid Shazhou. Just the taxes and silver paid by these merchants account for an extremely considerable part of the Chen State's treasury income.
The Shazhou government naturally made little profits in this process
A large number of caravans stayed in Shazhou, which greatly promoted the commercial development of Shazhou. There were many inns and restaurants and brothels in the prefecture city. It can be regarded as the most prosperous city on the northwest border of Chen State.
The crisis shrouded in Shazhou has become increasingly heavy as the situation in the Western Regions changes
Shazhou goes east to the State of Chen, and west to the Western Regions. Once there is a change in the Western Regions, Shazhou will definitely bear the brunt of the first
In recent years, Xiaowan's rise has become unstoppable. At present, their energy is still focused on conquering small countries in the Western Regions. When they completely conquer the Western Regions, it is time for the disaster of Chen State to come.
In order to cope with the changes in the Western Regions, the imperial court pacified the grassland and stationed 400,000 troops in Shazhou and Suzhou, strengthening the city wall of Shazhou to more than two meters wide and five meters high. In this vast sea of sand, a copper and iron wall was created.
With heavy troops in the guard, from a distance, the towering city walls stood up, which finally made the people of Shazhou feel a little more at ease, hoping that Xiaowan would lose in the struggle for power in the Western Regions, or the court would simply send troops to pacify the Western Regions, so that the long-term stability of Shazhou can be maintained.
At this moment, on the east gate of Shazhou, a group of people slowly entered the city, which attracted the frequent attention of pedestrians
Shazhou welcomes many foreigners every day, some of them come from the capital and some from the Western Regions. The people in the city are no longer surprised, but the composition of this group of people is too strange, which makes people have to take a few more glances.
Walking in the front are three young men and women, handsome man and beautiful woman. One couple looks in their early twenties, and the other girl is only 28 years old and has a slightly immature face.
Apart from looking at the eyes, there was nothing strange about these three people. What was strange was the people behind them.
A strong middle-aged man followed behind them, with a pig-killing knife on his waist, destroying the extraordinary temperament of the three people in front of him. Next to the middle-aged man was an old man dressed in dirty clothes, dressed like a beggar, scratching his butt and digging his nose, looking extremely sloppy.
Behind the two, there were a few figures, three old men and three old women, all of whom were old and followed behind them, like followers of their servants.
This combination made everyone confused. If you want to tell which noble man is traveling with the United States, you should bring some guards. But among these people, the middle-aged man with a pig knife on his waist, and he looks like a little guard. The rest are old people who are old and look like half of their feet are buried. I am afraid that if the road is a little more rushing, they will kill their lives.
Tang Ning naturally noticed the strange eyes of the passers-by around him, but the facts are often not as good as those outsiders have seen.
None of these old people who seem to have one foot buried in the soil will be fuel-efficient when they start to move.
Any of them can easily slaughter a small country in the Western Regions. Six elders of Wan Gu Sect join forces to slaughter a middle-class country with thousands of people. It is not difficult to slaughter a small country.
In addition to the fourth and eight elders who were beside Tang Ning before, when Tang Ning entered Shazhou, six elders of Wan Gu Sect had gathered around him.
If the Ten Meridians had not just been integrated and several elders were left to deal with the affairs of the sect, Tang Ning felt that Su Mèi would send all the new ten elders out.
The elders of Wan Gu Sect may not be Lao Zheng’s opponent when fighting alone, but they can play a role like nuclear weapons against ordinary people and even some young masters, which is something that Lao Zheng and the old beggar cannot reach.
As for Tang Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao, they are just here to join in the fun
The reason why Tang Ning didn't stop them was that Tang Yaoyao said he would come and see if he would be flirting with the Western Regions. If Tang Ning didn't let her follow her, wouldn't it make her feel guilty?
Xiaoxiao, who has always listened to Tang Ning's words, did not listen to his arrangements this time and wanted to follow them to the Western Regions. Tang Ning could see that she seemed to have a slight resistance to Guizhou, so she no longer insisted.
They are different from Xiaoru Xiaoyi, and they both have a certain ability to protect themselves, especially Xiaoxiao. Now even Tang Ning can't see her depth clearly. Tang Yaoyao has long been no match for her
Taking them with them is not only not a problem, but also a helping force.
What's more, he did not face Xiaowan head-on when he came to the Western Regions this time. When he could negotiate peacefully, Tang Ning would not use other means.
Shazhou is much more prosperous and wealthy than Tang Ning imagined. He thought it was a small town on the border at the junction of Chen State and the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, although the city in Shazhou is small, there is nothing to be missing.
Walking to the main street of Shazhou Prefecture City and looking at the endless shops on both sides of the street, Tang Ning even thought he had arrived at the capital.
Of course, there is still a big difference here and the capital.
The most significant difference is that only half of the faces of the Han people on the streets, and the Western Regions with high cheekbones and high nose bridges account for the other half. Some of them have a larger appearance than the Han people, and they are not the same as those of the Western Regions. I think they are from countries further west.
Of course, there were more Western women along the way. Most of them wore clothing that were different from Han women's styles, and some even had their navels exposed. Tang Ning even saw a few alien girls wearing accessories on their navels...
The exotic style in Shazhou City is much stronger than that in the capital. It’s just that the weather is not very good today. The sky is filled with sand and dust. Many people wear gauze scarves when going out. Tang Ning and his group did not prepare such things. Xiao Xiao, who was standing next to him, coughed several times along the way. I think he was not used to the air here.
When Tang Ning was about to remind her to buy a gauze scarf for a while, a pain suddenly came from the other waist.
Tang Yaoyao held his arm and asked with a smile: Does it look good?
Although she was laughing, her teeth were biting tightly. A slender hand even grabbed the soft flesh on his waist.
Tang Ning withdrew his gaze and immediately looked at him without looking sideways, saying: In broad daylight, the world is bright, and the clothes are not covered, what kind of style is it?
