Chapter 687 Entering Yunfeng City
The next day.
Tangli and his group set off.
Zhao Jingxuan was carried away by two guards. Perhaps because he was feeling unwell or because of Ah Hua's departure, Zhao Jingxuan looked a little listless and said little along the way.
They passed through mountain roads and plains along the way and saw many villages similar to Ava Village.
They tried to minimize communication with the villagers.
Tangli was very cautious, fearing that he would encounter people as extreme as those in Awa Village, who would burn outsiders to death on sight.
Although some villages are not as extreme, they are still wary of outsiders.
Although they have the amulet Wangyou, if the ancient people do something bad to them, they can reveal Wangyou's identity.
However, Wangyou does not want to return to Yuecheng, and Tangli does not want to reveal Wangyou's identity too much to avoid trouble.
The group kept a low profile along the way and didn't encounter any accidents, so everything was safe and sound.
Five days later, they came to a city with high and majestic walls.
This is the only city marked on the map given by Ah Hua. Ah Hua can't write, so she just drew a cloud.
Now that he saw the words on the city wall, Tang Li finally knew the name of the city.
Yunfeng City.
The two words "Yunfeng" engraved on it are quite old.
When Sanbao saw Youcheng, his eyes lit up.
After traveling through the wilderness for a while, they finally found a lively place. She was very curious about what the ancient tribe’s town was like.
"Mom, let's go in quickly." Sanbao said impatiently.
Tang Li nodded and said, "Talk less after you go in, and don't reveal your identity as a foreigner."
After giving the instructions, he took the lead and everyone else followed.
There were not many people at the city gate, so they walked towards the crowded area and found the market.
There are quite a lot of people in the market, but it is far less prosperous than the Da Zhou market, and the things sold here are also very different from those in the Da Zhou market.
Most of the items sold here are animal skins, bones, horns, etc. There are also clothes and food, but they are much scarcer than in the Great Zhou.
Sanbao watched and quickly lost interest, as the person eating seemed to have not yet forgotten the aroma of the barbecue!
The group walked along the market and came to an inn. Tangli imitated the accent of the ancient people and asked to stay in the inn.
Tangli’s plan was to rest in Yunfeng City for one night, buy some food, and stock up on supplies for the journey.
As a result, when it came time to pay, I discovered a big problem.
They have no money.
To be precise, the ancient clan does not have any money.
The money of the ancient tribe was a kind of animal horn the size of a finger.
The money of the Great Zhou is like waste here.
Before, Tangli had never used money, so he didn't pay attention to this problem.
Tangli has a bag full of silver, but he is actually a pauper.
"Sorry, we don't have money to stay in a hotel." Tang Li said unkindly.
The shopkeeper didn't get angry. He smiled and said kindly, "Just keep walking this way until you reach the end. Then turn right and there's a place to rest."
Tangli thanked them and led everyone out of the inn.
As soon as he came out, Tang Li stopped and looked forward.
Sanbao was shocked and said, "Mother, a tiger!"
They saw a young man riding on a tiger, surrounded by a group of people, coming towards them.
The young man's eyes were fixed on Sanbao with ill intentions.
Tangli frowned and stood in front of Sanbao. The young man's eyes fell on Tangli, and he glanced up and down with a bit of disgust.
"She's pretty, but she's a bit older."
In just a few moments, this man aroused Tangli's anger.
Tangli’s fists hardened and he wanted to hit someone.
"What's so good about staying in this shabby inn, little girl? I'll take you to live in a big house." The young man said condescendingly while riding on a tiger.
"We are not interested in your big house, get out of the way." Tang Li said.
"I didn't ask you, old woman." The young man looked behind Tang Li and said complacently, "Little girl, you follow me, live in a big house, eat whatever you want, don't have to work, a lot of people serve you."
He was certain that this little girl from a remote village would be seduced by him.
Behind Tangli, Sanbao's eyes widened. She didn't pay attention to what was said next and only heard what was said before.
This guy calls his mother an old woman?
Are you making her mad?
If her mother doesn't let her speak, then she will just take action!
Sanbao was so angry that he swung the whip in his hand and hit the young man in the face!
Bang!
The young man was hit on the face and almost rolled off the tiger.
"You stinky girl, you dare to hit me?!"
“&&*%￥!”
Not only will I beat you, I will beat you to death!
Sanbao swung the whip in his hand again, hooked the man's neck, and pulled him off the tiger!
The man fell to the ground, and the group of people surrounding him finally reacted and quickly helped him up.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Do I look alright?" the young man said, covering his bruised face. "Come on, teach this little girl a lesson!"
The group of people rushed forward.
Dare to teach the Three Treasures a lesson?
Du Ye and Wangyou were the first to disagree.
The two men took action and quickly knocked down all of the young man's followers.
During the melee, the young man had already climbed onto the tiger's back.
Seeing this, he ran away in shame, leaving behind a sentence "My surname is Yao, you are finished, just wait for me", and then disappeared without a trace.
The followers on the ground also got up and ran away.
Tang Li watched the group of people run away, his eyes filled with thought.
It seems that no matter where you are, you cannot avoid oppression by powerful forces.
This young man seems to be from a prominent background.
"Mom, have I gotten into trouble?" Sanbao asked.
This is someone else's territory. If she acts rashly, will she bring disaster upon herself?
After all, the most important thing for them now is to leave the Ancient Clan and avoid causing trouble...
"Trouble has come to our door. If we don't take action, are we going to endure it?" Tang Li said, touching Sanbao's head. Even if Sanbao didn't take action, she would take action too.
"However, we need to learn more about this Yao and prepare a response plan." Tang Li continued, "Let's go to a place to rest first."
They followed the direction pointed by the shopkeeper and saw a large courtyard where many people were resting.
This is just a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so it naturally can't be that good.
Tangli found a place and everyone sat down together.
The food given by the villagers of Awa Village had long been eaten up, and the prey they hunted along the way had almost been eaten as well, so everyone was starving.
Du Ye took Wangyou and Ahu out to find food.
Tangli asked someone about this person surnamed Yao.
After asking around, I finally understood why that Yao guy was so arrogant.
In the ancient tribe, most people do not have surnames. For example, in Awa Village, the villagers are called Ahua, Amu, and Awang. Their names actually have only one character, and adding "A" in front is just a customary way of calling them.
Those who have surnames all have a certain status in the ancient clan.
Among them, the ancient tribe has two most noble surnames, namely Yao and Yue.
The saint is chosen by the previous saint through asking the gods, and the great witch must come from the Yao and Yue clans.
Today's great witch has the surname Yao.
After this great witch took over, the status of the Yao family rose rapidly, far surpassing that of the Yuezhi.
"That Young Master Yao is said to be the Great Wizard's nephew and has been in Yunfeng City for some time."
"The City Lord holds Young Master Yao in high esteem, and we dare not offend him. Otherwise, if Young Master Yao complains to the Great Witch, and the Great Witch reports the matter to the gods, the gods will punish him."
Tang Li thought, logically, since Young Master Yao bullied others, God should punish him. How could he punish ordinary people?
After all, gods are the means by which the great witch rules the ancient tribe.
"Yes, if you see him, take a detour. You can't afford to offend him."
Tang Li thought that they had offended someone, so it seemed that they could not stay here for long and had to leave quickly.
City Lord's Mansion.
The young man rushed into a room aggressively.
"Lord Yun, the people of your Yunfeng City bullied me, you have to give me an explanation!" Young Master Yao said angrily.
Behind the desk sat a middle-aged man with a kind face. He was Yun Tao, the mayor of Yunfeng City.
"Master Yao, what happened to you?" Yun Tao saw his bruised face and quickly stood up, helped him sit down, and asked with concern, "Did the people of Yunfeng City beat me?"
"Yes!" Master Yao was furious.
"How dare they treat Young Master Yao like this!" Yun Tao was furious. "What do they look like?"
"A little girl of eleven or twelve years old, and her bodyguard, who is in her twenties and looks like a woman. There is also a woman, in her early twenties, who is pretty but a little old..." Young Master Yao described all the people who beat him.
"Master Yao, rest assured, I won't let these people go. I'll send someone to arrest them right away and give you an explanation!"
Young Master Yao was very angry, but after being comforted by Yun Tao, he calmed down a little.
"Lock up the others and give them a good beating. As for that little girl, leave her to me. I will teach her a lesson myself."
"Yes, I'll send someone right away. You're so injured, go and rest. I'll have the witch doctor take a look at you."
Yun Tao called the servants and sent Young Master Yao back to his residence.
As soon as Young Master Yao left, Yun Tao no longer hid his expression and looked full of impatience.
"City Lord, are you going to arrest the person who beat Yao Zhu?"
There were two other people in the room who looked somewhat similar. One was called Feng Yan and the other was called Feng Yue.
Feng Yan is gentle and refined, while Feng Yan is a bit more burly. One is a scholar and the other is a warrior, and they are the confidants of the city lord.
The person who just spoke was Feng Yue.
"Catch, catch, catch, what the hell, you don't know the temper of Yao Zhu, he must have fallen for the girl, that's why he was beaten! He bullies the people of my Yunfeng City every day! If I wasn't afraid that the great witch would make things difficult for me, I would have beaten him up myself long ago!" The just kind Lord Yun was now yelling like a fire-breathing dragon.
Feng Yue and Feng Yan have become accustomed to it.
"I'm so annoyed by your bullying in Yunfeng City every day. Fengyue, send a few people to search randomly and give Yaozhu an explanation." Yuntao said.
"Yes, City Lord." Feng Yue turned and left.
Yun Tao was furious: "As long as the taxes in Yunfeng City are not paid in full, Yao Zhu will not leave. I'm not delaying this intentionally, but the taxes are too high. They're going to rip us, the people of Yunshui City, off! After Yao Jie became the Great Shaman, our lives have become increasingly difficult. When Yue Zhi was the Great Shaman before, it wasn't like that..."
"City Lord, please be careful with your words." Feng Yan said.
Yun Tao took a deep breath and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat back into his stomach.
