Lord of Puluo

At dusk, Li Banfeng took a walk in the wilderness.

Last night I practiced iron ruler with my portable Curie and a record player. I practiced all night. I ate two cans and went to bed. When I woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Taking advantage of the dawn, Li Banfeng quickly completed the basic training for travel training.

Mazhu Mountain is very big and dangerous. Walking one mile on the mountain road is equivalent to walking one and a half miles on a normal day.

After walking more than thirty miles on the mountain road, Li Banfeng felt that the basics of spiritual practice were in place.

Since he started traveling for more than two months, Li Banfeng has never stopped practicing. According to his calculations, after deducting the cost of practicing step by step, he still saved more than three months.

This is mainly related to the fact that Li Banfeng often practiced (suicide) in dangerous environments.

Li Banfeng wanted to walk a few more miles and save more time, when he suddenly saw a figure moving in the bamboo forest.

He took out his earrings, listened for a moment, and heard the voice of Patrolman Wu Jinming.

Look carefully. We're going to call it a day after walking through these hills.

Wu Tou, you're welcome. I'm going out to patrol the mountains this late at night. I haven't done this since the day I was on duty.

What can we do? The Lu family is a big talker and insists that we find Li Banfeng.

We are members of the Guan Fang Envoy. The Guan Fang Envoy is from out of state. Why should we care about the Lu family's affairs?

Our customs envoy must have received a lot of benefits from the Lu family, otherwise how could we be so concerned?

He took the benefits and gave some to us. After walking around all day, his leather shoes were worn out and he didn't even mention giving us an extra pair.

Don't talk nonsense, this is not a good thing. The Lu family is about to dominate Puozhou. The He family, the Ma family, and the Chu family are no match for him. After all, the Guanfang envoy is working in Puozhou, and the Lu family's care is indispensable.

Wu Jinming led people through a forest. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he said to his subordinates: Come on, let's call it a day and clear the customs tomorrow. Don't make any mistakes. Get some rest early and don't go out wandering around.

A group of patrolmen came down the mountain, and Li Banfeng walked out of his bedroom.

The Lu family has traced it to the border?

Can you still go out tomorrow?

I guess I will be arrested when I get near the patrol house.

Have to find another way.

Late at night, Li Banfeng came to Nectarine's house.

Seeing Li Banfeng coming, Nectarine was overjoyed. She quickly closed the door of the bamboo house and lowered her voice: Brother Baisha, you scared me. When you said you wanted to hide from your enemies, did you mean to hide from the Lu family?

Li Banfeng nodded slightly.

Nectarine smacked her lips and said, This is going to be difficult. The Lu family wants to find someone. As long as you are in Yaowanggou, you will definitely not be able to escape.

Li Banfeng nodded and said, So I was originally planning to go to Green Water Bay.

Are you crazy to go to Green Water Bay? Nectarine said in confusion, The Lu family's home base is in Green Water Bay. If you go there, wouldn't you be sending yourself to death?

Li Banfeng nodded and said, You're right. Now I've thought about it clearly. People can't go and things have to be delivered. Can you help me take something to Lushui Bay?

It's not that she doesn't trust Nectarine, the situation is pressing and there are some things she can't let her know.

Bring something... Nectarine thought for a moment, nodded, Tomorrow I'll go find Hua Tonzi and ask about the market.

After being in contact with Yu Nan for a while, Li Banfeng was able to understand a few slang words.

Huajianzi means intermediary.

On the border, there is a special kind of gossip who specializes in doing business with passers-by.

These passers-by have road guides and can cross the border normally. Hua Tonzi asked them to help bring something and gave them thirty to fifty thousand yuan.

Of course, you can’t bring too many things.

If you bring an envelope or a package, the customs officer won't care. But if you drive a carriage, that won't work.

Do I have to ask someone to carry my stuff across the border?

Isn't there a post office in Proton?

There are post offices, but there are many rules, especially when it comes to cross-border mailing.

Pills cannot be mailed, magic weapons cannot be mailed, weapons cannot be mailed, living creatures cannot be mailed, and spiritual things cannot be mailed.

All mailed items must go through heavy inspections, and the mailing efficiency is extremely low. It may take a month to arrive at the place. Li Banfeng does not dare to take risks on this matter.

If you ask someone to bring something to you, you will have to pay 30,000 to 50,000 yuan at a time. He will have to earn twice as much. Bringing something there once may cost you 100,000 yuan. This is different from sending something by mail. You Xuetao explained the price. He looked at Li Banfeng slightly embarrassed.

Li Banfeng was kind to her and had the grace to save her life. Logically speaking, she didn't want to ask Li Banfeng for money.

But You Xuetao has no money.

She was someone who could go to great lengths for eighty-five yuan of snake-flowered chrysanthemum. Although she got a few pills from Li Banfeng, her life was still tight.

One hundred thousand yuan is not a big deal to Li Banfeng.

I'll give you two hundred thousand.

Nectarine shook her head quickly: It doesn't take that much...

The rest is yours. There is a pond halfway up the western slope of Mazhu Mountain. Did you know?

Nectarine nodded: The water is very clear and there are few people. I often take a bath.

There is a big bluestone on the edge of the pond. The stone is very big and there is a hole underneath. Did you know?

Nectarine nodded: I know, I often put my clothes on the bluestone when I take a shower.

Li Banfeng frowned and said, Why do you always talk about taking a bath?

Tomorrow night at two o'clock, you go to the pond. In the hole under the pond, you can find a package. Help me take this package to Lanyang Village, Green Water Bay, and put it at the entrance of the village. Just find a hidden place to hide it. .

Lanyang Village was what Li Banfeng saw on the map. The village was very close to the border.

Nectarine was a little confused: What is it? Can you just leave it to me now?

It's not possible now, the time has not come yet.

You Xuetao reminded Li Banfeng: If you ask people in transit to carry things, it's hard to say that they will definitely be delivered. People who often travel between the two places still have some credibility, but others may not be reliable.

If it’s not something you’re particularly urgent about, it’s safer to send it to the post office. If you have to find someone who’s crossing the border, I’ll talk to Huajianzi tomorrow and ask him to try to find someone he knows, but if he really can’t find it...

Then let's take a gamble.

In fact, you don’t have to go to Lanyang Village, as long as you can leave Yaowanggou.

Li Banfeng turned to leave.

You Xuetao reached out and held him.

Where are you going?

Go to the mountains and spend the night.

The mountains are not safe either. I heard that patrols have started searching the mountains.

I will find a way on my own, and I won't be able to cause trouble to you after all.

Li Banfeng left, and You Xuetao stood at the door.

She was worried that this would be the last time she would see Li Banfeng.

There was another coughing sound upstairs, and You Xuetao went up to the second floor.

The girl sitting in the corner snorted: If you like him, just go with him.

You Xuetao nodded: Okay, I'll go with him.

You have no conscience! the girl cried. He is not a good person at first sight. What do you like about him!

You Xuetao smiled and touched the girl's face: He is a good person, a real good person.

…

The next day, You Xuetao went to the entrance of the village to find Hua Guozi. Hua Guozi offered a price of 120,000 to find an acquaintance for You Xuetao and ensure that the things would be delivered.

You Xuetao frowned and said, Why has the price increased? The most expensive one before was only 100,000!

Huajianzi smiled and said: Lanyang Village is not peaceful. The money is too little and no one wants to go.

You Xuetao had never been to Green Water Bay and didn't know what Lanyang Village was like. But since Li Banfeng had agreed on the place, You Xuetao didn't ask any more questions.

The two agreed to meet tomorrow morning and hand over something in one hand and money in the other.

Huajianzi warned: Taozi, we are friends. Let me make it clear. The patrols have been tight these two days. I don't dare to bring anything irregular. Please don't hurt me.

Nectarine agreed, but she didn't know what Li Banfeng would take with her.

At two o'clock in the night, Nectarine came to the pond on the western slope of Mazhu Mountain. Under the bluestone, she found the package left by Li Banfeng. The package was only the size of a palm and very light.

new

Nectarine took the package and was about to go down the mountain when he suddenly heard something moving nearby.

She looked into the bamboo forest and saw a few lights.

No, it’s a patrol!

The light was very special, it was a gas lantern specially used for patrolling.

A gas lamp is an oil and gas lamp. It is a fist-sized oil and gas bottle with a tube on it. When you unscrew the valve on the tube, the oil and gas will spray out. After it is lit, it will be much brighter than an ordinary lantern.

In Puozhou, fuel solidifies quickly and cannot be stored in large quantities. Equipment that can convert solidified grease into a small amount of oil and gas is very expensive. Near Mazhu Mountain, only patrol officers can afford oil and gas lamps.

Nectarine wanted to run away, but suddenly she saw the light flickering. The policeman had seen her and was using the light to signal her not to move.

In desperation, You Xuetao took off her clothes very quickly, stuffed the package into her clothes, and got into the water.

Not long after, Patrolman Wu Jinming came closer with his men.

Seeing Nectarine huddled in the water, several patrol officers wanted to plunge their heads into the water to take a closer look.

Unfortunately, the location of the nectarine was blocked by the shadow of the big bluestone. The patrolmen were so busy that they couldn't see anything.

Wu Jinming frowned and said, You Xuetao, what are you doing here?

Nectarine's brows also frowned: Sir Wu, can't you see what I'm doing? I'm taking a shower. How about you come down and take a shower together?

Normally Wu Jinming would joke with You Xuetao, but today he was not in the mood: I told you, I have never felt sorry for you, why do you insist on causing trouble for me?

Sir Wu, you led a group of subordinates to watch me take a shower, and in the end you said I was causing trouble for you. Are we still being reasonable?

While speaking, Nectarine kept looking at Wu Jinming, her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, with three parts of hatred, five parts of grievance, and two parts of helplessness and misery.

Tears should be lingering in the eyes and must not fall.

The force cannot be too strong. Wu Jinming is also a cultivator, so he cannot be hostile.

The strength cannot be insufficient, otherwise Wu Jinming will not relent.

Enjoying cultivation depends on cultivation level, propriety and scheming.

Wu Jinming said nothing, but several of his subordinates lowered their heads.

They feel sorry for the nectarines.

They feel guilty.

They didn't want to stay here any longer.

…

Wu Jinming did not question Nectarine anymore. He led the patrolmen down the mountain. Along the way, no one doubted Nectarine. Instead, they complained endlessly to Wu Jinming.

Wu Tou, what are you doing? Girl You didn't commit any crime, so why should we make it difficult for her?

What I'm saying is that it's bad enough to patrol the mountains in the middle of the night. We, a group of men, are bullying other girls.

We usually don't look up when we see each other, but we still have to work here. We can't offend everyone just because of the Lu family's trivial things!

This is done. When I see Miss You in the future, I will feel so ashamed!

I didn't even have the nerve to look into the water just now!

These patrol officers were so full of pity for Nectarine that they felt strong self-blame.

Wu Jinming didn't say anything. He knew that his subordinates had all fallen victim to Huan Xiu's technique.

He was sure that Nectarine was hiding something, which was probably related to Li Banfeng, whom the Lu family was looking for.

If Nectarine's godbrother was at the scene, Wu Jinming would definitely not let him go.

But since he didn't see him, Wu Jinming really didn't want to ask about this matter.

His brother was right, he still had to work here, and he really couldn't ignore everything just because of a word from the Lu family.

…

At dawn, You Xuetao handed the package to Hua Yanzi, who handed the package to a middle-aged man in front of You Xuetao.

This middle-aged man's name is Yang Yanzheng. He is a steward of the Chu family, one of the four major families in Puluo Prefecture. He usually comes to Yaowanggou to purchase medicinal materials. He is an acquaintance of Huayizi, and his reputation is guaranteed.

Huajianzi smiled and said: Taozi, you are lucky. Mr. Yang happens to be going to Lanyang Village, and the things will be delivered to you.

After taking the package, Yang Yanzheng went to the patrol room. Wu Jinming led 20 patrol officers and ten passers-by to Luka.

Mazhushan only allows ten people to cross the border every day. If there is no queue today, we will have to wait until tomorrow.

The road card changes every day. This is the rule of Puzhou. The location chosen today is at the foot of the southern slope of Mazhu Mountain.

There was no grass on the border and it was easy to spot. Ten patrol officers escorted a steam car and transported a two-meter-long, one-meter-wide, and one-meter-high iron box to the border.

Accompanied by five guards, the customs envoy personally took out the key and opened the iron box.

A patrol officer took out a square light box from the box, and the security officer personally checked the location of the light box.

The inspection was correct. One patrolman added water to the top of the light box, another patrolman opened the back cover of the light box and added coal, and another patrolman carried a bucket of grease and was responsible for lighting the fire.

Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!

Steam spewed out rhythmically from the top of the light box. As the rhythm continued to increase, the light box flashed a few times and gradually lit up.

This is not driven by electricity, it relies on high-temperature steam to trigger the magic weapon in the light box.

A beam of green-blue light shone at the border, leaving a spot of light one and a half meters in diameter on the border.

Anyone who has walked across the border knows that where the light spot is located, the indestructible border will be temporarily ineffective.

Yang Yanzheng was the first in line. Accompanied by the patrol officers, he came to the customs envoy first.

The clerk next to the customs envoy ordered: Show me the way.

Yang Yanzheng took out the road guide and gave it to the customs envoy.

The guard took one look at it, raised his head and asked, What's your name?

Don't lie at this time, Guan Fangzhi has a magic weapon on his body.

Yang Yanzheng didn't know what the magic weapon looked like, but he knew the consequences of lying. He once saw three passers-by who took other people's guides and pretended to be passers-by. They lied about their names, and their bodies shattered on the spot and turned into a puddle of flesh.

Not to mention imposter, even a person who has just changed his name and does not recognize his own name enough will die suddenly in front of this magic weapon.

Some passers-by who are crossing the border for the first time cannot understand that road signs must be checked when crossing the border by train or boat, but that is the conductor's business. Why does the customs officer have to personally check the road signs when crossing the border?

You will understand after walking a few times.

These people who do not take cars or boats all cross the border via the border for special reasons.

Just like Yang Yanzheng, the purpose of his trip was to bring a special box of elixirs to the second lady of the Chu family, and to go to Lanyang Village to do some errands. This box of elixirs is highly toxic and cannot be taken on the train or boat. If Discovered by the flight attendant, Yang Yanzheng might die on the road.

People who cross the border on foot often have to do something special. Most of these people have special skills, and the customs guards must personally come forward and take strict precautions.

After confirming that the identity was correct, the customs officer allowed the transit.

Yang Yanzheng walked near the border, carefully stepped on the light spots on the ground, and crossed the border.

In less than half a day, Yang Yanzheng arrived at Lanyang Village. He placed the package in the tree hole at the entrance of the village and then entered the village.

Three hours later, Li Banfeng figured that he was almost there. He walked out of his home and emerged from the tree hole covered in sawdust and moss.

This man is really responsible for hiding the package in such a place.

Li Banfeng dusted himself off, took a deep breath, and looked at the village in front of him.

Finally we reached Green Water Bay.

Here is the largest city in Pula region.

This is a paradise for those who are addicted to money and wealth!

This place...is different from what Li Banfeng imagined.

PS: I dreamed about the record player for two consecutive nights. Under the care of the steam, I felt very warm.

After taking my temperature, I found out that my fever had reached 39 degrees Celsius.
