Chapter 335 Protection
Kundao Pass is located at the southernmost protrusion of the Jingji Dynasty. On the left is the evil sea and on the right is the thousands of miles of bamboo sea, stuck in the middle of the only bamboo path that is still out of the way out.
The dangerous terrain is the first impression of the Kundark Fire Pass.
Then there is dominance.
The narrowest part of the bamboo path is also known as the Knife Mouth. It spans less than one mile from left to right, and the Kunquharu Pass is built on this Knife Mouth.
The overall pass is ten feet high and more than four feet thick. It was built in the previous dynasty, and the old dynasty of Houjing strengthened it three times before it was so strong. Not only was the whole body built from huge stones to form a three-piece grooving joint, but there were also thunder channels and attack grooves in the middle, which could organize attacks against the enemy in multiple directions within the wall. There were even more than 100 various formations that were said to be.
In previous battles against the Southern Barbarians, the Kundao Pass was never broken even at the most critical moment. This is the dividing line between the human race and the barbarian race, and it is also a red line.
Forty years ago, the barbarians were defeated again. Yang Yansi personally led the army to the Kundao Pass to fight for three consecutive games, killing the main barbarians' army so that they were abandoned and their armor were abandoned, and then they killed the then leader of the Black Stone King's Court in the Hongshan Valley outside the pass, completely destroying the barbarians' arrogance and breaking up the Black Stone King's Court.
Although the war has gone far away and the fireworks have been washed away by wind, frost, rain and snow, this dominant Kundalini Pass is still there, and you can even clearly feel an atmosphere called "Xiao Sha" when you walk here.
There are few relaxed and wanton expressions when they come and go, all of them are cold and sharp. Even the patrol soldiers are full of evil spirits that ordinary people will never have. Each eye is like a knife that looks at you as if you are shave your skin.
This is the border, and it is a wartime area that is regarded as a place for training by the army.
The war was gone but the fire was still burning for forty years and never extinguished.
In the words of today's emperor Yang Jian: The war was initiated by the Southern Barbarians, but it should be up to me to say when it ends! I want to kill the Southern Barbarians and all the tribes will be destroyed for generations!
Of course, this was just the wishful anger of the emperor who was far away from the battle formation. The result brought to the Southern Barbarians was a population plunder that lasted for forty years, losing the actual control of most of the land, and could only hide in the southeast.
It was the first time that Tan Bin and the other two came to Chunghuo Pass, and they were speechless by the oppression of the Majesty Pass from afar.
Facing the mountains, you will sigh, and facing this artificial miracle, you will feel trembling.
"It's amazing, right?" The old mouse was still following Tan Bin and the other two, and he was already familiar with himself as the elder brother. He also said that he would take Tan Bin and the other three to meet his elder brother when he arrived at the station, which was a captain of the main team of the slave caravan that was waiting here early. He said that he was very concealed and that Bao Tan Bin and the other three made a fortune.
"Well, it's very spectacular. Are we going to enter the pass later?" Tan Bin was curious and a little looking forward to it.
"What do you think? You have to go to the garrison to meet with the main teams first, and then accept verification by the border troops one by one. You can only get out of the customs after all the procedures are completed. You can't stay at the customs? Otherwise, a feather arrow can nail you to the wall."
As the old mouse said? Tan Bin followed the main force down the straight road and turned to the other side of the Xiong Pass in the distance. There was a valley? There were many tents inside. But there were no villages built, and it seemed that there were no less than a thousand people stationed.
"Then is the base of the Bonus Chamber of Commerce. In fact, there are several stations of similar size not far ahead? They are all our slave chambers. If you are fine, don't go to other people's bases. If you are not good, you will be lightly beaten? It's not cost-effective to lose your life."
"Do they still dare to kill people?"
"Tsk? What's the point of not being afraid of? Not to mention others, you, Liu San, have not had any blood on your hands? Don't pretend. No one who can come to the slave chamber to beg for food is a good person. Let's go, I'll take you to see my elder brother."
He quickly entered the station? The old mouse took Tan Bin and the other two to report directly? Then he turned around and went to find his elder brother. It would be impossible not to go, because the old mouse entered the station like a different person, his back became even straighter and he spoke a little louder. There were always people behind him who came to say hello to him? And there were a few who were always smiling, like Tan Bin and the other three who surrounded the middle.
"Don't worry? My elder brother is easy to talk to."
It's really easy to talk to. Soon, Tan Bin and the other two saw it. As they had guessed before, this old mouse was not kind-hearted? Using the excuse of paying protection funds, it was a big deal. The amount was basically half of the income from this trip.
It's okay if you don't sign it? They said it directly? If you don't sign it, they will be detained as a resident for work and work for two or three years before leaving it. It would be good if you can get thirty or fifty taels of silver. If you are not lucky, you can get some pensions from the chamber of commerce if you drowned in the cesspool. Do you want it?
Tan Bin naturally acted very "decent" and was competing with his acting skills. He and the other two were above the level, full of righteous indignation, glaring at him, dared not speak out, etc., and the performance was vividly performed without any falsehood.
Of course, everyone knows that Liu San, Qi Wu, and Zhang Si are pseudonyms, so the bonus chamber directly uses the nameplate issued to them. At that time, as long as they come back alive, half of the money will be directly intercepted by these people to their pockets.
After leaving the elder brother's tent, the old mouse smiled and said, "Don't be bitter, the Bonus Chamber of Commerce is like this. Which other Chamber of Commerce is not like this? It's just a shame to eat this bowl of rice. If you don't have a cultivation level, you are not a monk, so you can only rely on the battle formation to survive. How can you enter the formation without paying some money? Don't worry, as long as you come back alive and join the group next time, you will be exempted from this money.
In addition, I said that I would not talk to you randomly, take you around, and tell you the rules."
Tan Bin and the other two were still performing, but in anger and helpless, he followed the old mouse into their own tent.
"I guess I'll be out of seclusion tomorrow. It seems that you and I will still be in the Exploration Team. Then you follow me. I know the route and keep it safe. If you are lucky, you can meet the lonely goat. If you take one head back, you will make extra money..."
This person looks like a chatterbox, and he can't rest as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Where have you been here the farthest?"
"Haha, how could I not be familiar with me? I have been there several times. The farthest? I have been to Baitouxia. That time I was chasing a cat-clan ewe. I finally caught up with it for more than ten days. That time I caught up with it for thousands of taels!"
Tan Bin and the other two looked at each other without leaving any trace. They were all moved in their hearts because the "Baitou Gorge" mentioned by the old mouse just now is a very important and critical place. Because Baitou Gorge is the farthest distance that the slave chamber of commerce has taken in the record, it is blank to go southeast. And if Tan Bin and others want to cross Baitou Gorge and continue to walk southeast, it seems that they need "acquaintances" like Lao Mouse.
Tan Bin said with a helpless expression: "Then the three of us will go with you tomorrow."
"Yes, but you have to add three veterans, it's safer."
