Of course the Zong family does not want to open a trade route here. After all, the area where the Zong family is located is barren, which has always been an important factor limiting their development. It is also because of this that the Zong family group has always wanted to expand.
If the trade routes are opened, countless caravans will come to the northwest, and 178 Barrier will become stronger and stronger. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Even if 178 Barrier has no intention of expansion now, the Zong family in 178 Can you not be afraid when you are next to a barrier?
Of course, the Zong family can continue to train new bandits to control the river valley area, but Zhang Jinglin of 178 Barrier was not here before, so the temporary commander of the barrier did not want to take care of affairs outside the barrier.
But things are different now, Zhang Jinglin is back!
How strong the 178 Barrier was more than ten years ago, the top management of the Zong Family Group can still remember clearly. They tolerated the development for more than ten years. Now if the 178 Barrier can regain its glory more than ten years ago, , then the Zong family is afraid that it will be cold.
So the Qing family and the Yang family are fighting so fiercely now, but the Zong family does not take advantage of going south. On the one hand, it is because Qing Zhen has cut off the shortcut for the Zong family to go south, and on the other hand, the Zong family is afraid of the 178 barrier. Don't dare to move.
In the evening, Zhou Yinglong took them to find a leeward place to camp. This week, Zhou Yinglong seemed to be hanging out in the wilderness a lot, and he didn't know much about things in the wilderness.
Now that Ren Xiaosu had the black medicine, his injury was not so painful, but he still pretended to have difficulty moving.
When he slowly got out of the car and wanted to move around, Wang Shengyin came over to help him. Ren Xiaosu refused, saying that he could move slowly.
Wang Shengyin, on the other hand, didn't care at all about the blood on his body.
Ren Xiaosu found a mound to sit on, and suddenly someone said: "I heard that many barriers in the southwest have been destroyed. I don't know why. The barriers in the Central Plains are still fine."
Zhou Yinglong was delighted: "Let me tell you, I have a good brother named Xu Xianchu. As long as the barriers he has been to, except for mine 178, all the others have collapsed! At first, everyone thought he was a disaster. Star, and later found out that 178 was fine, so he didn’t think too much about it. As a result, when he went to the 88 barrier a while ago, the 88 barrier also collapsed..."
Wang Shengzhi smiled and said: "Is he okay? "< /p>
"What's the matter? He left before it collapsed. It has nothing to do with him at all," Zhou Yinglong said with a cheerful smile: "My brother Xu Xianchu has a tough life. If the barrier collapses, he will It's all fine."
"That's really the chosen one," Wang Shengzhi said, "Can you introduce me to him when we get to the barrier?"
"Haha, of course," Zhou Yinglong said: "But Lao Xu himself doesn't admit this. He said that there are people harder than him. He always leaves before the barrier collapses, so it's okay. But his brother who has a particularly good relationship never leaves early every time. , it’s still fine..."
After hearing these words, Ren Xiaosu knew who Zhou Yinglong was talking about. When he recalled it carefully, it seemed like this, the wall he had been toAll the barriers collapsed, including Yang's 88 barrier.
But the collapse of these barriers should have nothing to do with him...
The first few were either caused by earthquakes, or Li Shentan's revenge and the invasion of experimental subjects, even 88 The barrier was broken down because Qing Zhen wanted to save Luo Lan.
It really has nothing to do with me!
At this time, Wang Shengzhi became even more interested after hearing what Zhou Yinglong said: "It would be very interesting if I could meet the person you said was the chosen one."
Zhou Yinglong moved a box of wine from the car and asked: "Do you drink? My Qiang wine is made from fine highland barley, and the water used is snow mountain water. It's sweet!"
Everyone else shook their heads, but Wang Shengzhi said: "I can drink with you, but can you drink in the 178th Barrier Army?"
Zhou Yinglong said carelessly: "In our place, during the winter break Drinking is allowed. It’s impossible to warm up without wine.”
“It’s almost summer,” Wang Shengyin said.
Zhou Yinglong thought for a while: "It's better if you don't tell the commander. I saved this wine in the winter."
"But there shouldn't be many grain producing areas around the 178 barrier. Where did you get this highland barley?" Wang Shengyin asked curiously.
Zhou Yinglong suddenly stopped talking, as if this matter was a very important secret.
Ren Xiaosu also realized that the 178 Barrier did have a secret. The highland barley production area was not close to the 178 Barrier. If it was true that the 178 Barrier would not produce barriers under normal circumstances as the outside world said, then how could Zhou Yinglong know the river valley area so well? The refugee settlement, how was this highland barley transported to the 178th barrier?
Zhou Yinglong changed the subject and said: "What business do you plan to do with Commander Zhang this time from the Central Plains? Is the wine from the Central Plains delicious?"
"Of course the wine from the Central Plains is rich in We have food, tea and cloth," Wang Shengzhi said with a smile while sitting in a wheelchair: "But what Commander Zhang wants most is not these, but medicines."
When Zhou Yinglong heard about the medicinal materials. Eyes light up, people who are marching and fighting know best what the 178 barrier lacks most.
What outsiders don’t know is that they are indeed short of food, but they are not short of meat. They will definitely not die of hunger.
And medicines are too precious. In any battle, medicines will determine the survival rate of the wounded.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized, no wonder Zhang Jinglin wanted to open up trade routes so much, and Zong probably guessed the importance of it.
When I listened to Zhang Jinglin’s lectures before, Mr. Zhang said that the importance of the ancient Silk Road is just that the times are different, and the commodities on the Silk Road must also be different.
At that time, Ren Xiaosu didn't understand why Zhang Jinglin suddenly mentioned this matter. Now it seems that Zhang Jinglin has been thinking about this matter for a long time.
Wang Shengzhi took two sips of wine and then stopped. Wang Shengyin covered his knees with a blanket.
"You're too drunk," Zhou Yinglong muttered in a low voice. Suddenly, he looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, "Are you drinking?"
Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "If you don't, I'm still injured."
p>Zhou Yinglong thought for a while: "The wound needs to be anti-inflammatory. Wine can reduce inflammation. If you drink some wine, the wound will not be inflamed. Do you think this is true?"
Wang Shengyin next to him was not angry. Said: "What a nonsense theory. After an injury, the immune system is needed to deal with the injury and infection. If you drink and paralyze the immune system, just wait for death!"
Zhou Yinglong opened his mouth. Due to his limited knowledge level, he could not Unable to refute Wang Shengyin's words, she finally had to whisper to Ren Xiaosu: "Don't listen to her. What she said may not be right. Have you ever heard of Guan Gong scraping bones to heal injuries? The martial arts saint Guan Gong always drank after being injured..."
Ren Xiaosu shook his head helplessly. It was not that he was afraid of the impact on the wound, but that he did not want to lose his sobriety and reason in an unfamiliar crowd and environment.
Zhou Yinglong muttered: "It's really boring."
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly heard the roar of the engine of a vehicle crossing the wilderness in the distance, and Zhou Yinglong put down the bottle of wine. He sneered and said: "This Zong family's dog is really courageous."
"Do you think this is the person ordered by Zong family to attack us?" Wang Shengzhi looked at Zhou Yinglong: "How dare Zong family Are you going to attack the people in the 178 barrier?"
"The Zong family has developed rapidly in these years, so they probably have something to rely on," Zhou Yinglong sneered.
