Small farmers dominate the desert island

Hearing Chen Yu's words, the old man felt a twitch on his face. He always felt that this young man had a complete insight into his heart.

Chen Yu's meaning is already obvious. Even if they don't bring water, they still have to enter the Chiyang Desert, and they are now on Chen Yu's thief ship. If Chen Yu dies of thirst, it means that they will go to Chen Yu first. They died of thirst in one step.

So, he feebly pointed his hand forward.

"Sixty miles ahead, there is a horse market, which was opened by Qingyun people."

When Chen Yu heard that there was a horse market in front of him, he was still happy, but after hearing that it was opened by Qingyun people, he began to hesitate again.

Because he is not sure whether the Qingyun tribe has any kind of flying pigeons or flying eagles. In case the Qingyun cavalry in front has used some means to tell the Qingyun tribe about the battle with us, Then when they enter the horse market, they will be meat buns beating dogs, and they will never return.

"Old man, as the largest clan in the Qingyun Plateau, the Qingyun Tribe must be guarded by heavy troops in Mashi, right?" Chen Yu asked pretending to be unintentional.

"Well, of course, there are usually about five to six hundred people, mainly to maintain the stability of the horse market."

"But..." Just when Chen Yu was about to despair, the old man suddenly changed the subject.

"But what?" Chen Yu asked expectantly.

"However, when I passed by the horse market a few days ago, I saw that there were less than [-] Qingyun people guarding the horse market. I heard that the rest of them had been transferred away. It seemed that they were going to fight with the second largest clan on the Qingyun plateau. The Yue people are fighting."

The old man's words made Chen Yu's self-confidence return to him.

"Okay, let's hurry up and try to get to the horse market when the temperature drops to zero."

drive……

Chen Yu and his party drove the camel team with whips behind them, and rushed in the direction of the horse market.

……

Qingyun Horse Market is one of the largest markets in the north of Qingyun Plateau. People from all over the giant island gather here, some are southerners, some are forest people, there are giants, cannibals, and dwarves. It can be said that there are hundreds of ethnic groups. .

Just because this is the place where hundreds of races meet, some disturbances often occur here, such as the cannibals catching and eating the dwarfs, and the dwarves stealing the animal skins of the giants.

The giants trampled to death several dwarves.

These collisions are inevitable, so in order to maintain the order here, the Qingyun Tribe has stationed heavy troops here for a long time.

But today is different from the past. Since the war with the Yue Clan, there are only less than twenty Qingyun soldiers left here. Let alone maintaining order every day, even if they go out to patrol the streets, more than 20 people are dispatched as a whole. If you are careful, you will be eaten alive by people of other races.

So they decided to patrol once every three days, and the rest of the time they hid in the bunkers on the edge of the market, not even daring to show their heads.

Because among the aliens here, there are also people from the Arrow Clan. These people like to do assassinations when they have nothing to do.

Because the Qingyun people are stationed here and impose heavy taxes on people of other races, the Qingyun people are very hostile here. Some people of other races even said that this horse market can be maintained without the people of the Qingyun people. .

After the Qingyun people had established order, some people felt that these Qingyun people were a bit redundant. From time to time, there would be foreigners who were taxed and wanted to buy people from the God Arrow clan and assassinate the leaders of the Qingyun people.

On this day, another caravan came outside the horse market, and the number was unprecedented. There were more than 60 people, including camels, horses, and some hideous-looking guards.

The more than 20 Qingyun people immediately hid in the bunker at the entrance of Mashi and did not dare to come out.

At this moment, a person from Qingyun recognized the old man in charge, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey! Dos people, didn't you just return from the Chiyang Desert with a full load the day before yesterday? It's only been three days. Are you planning to go to the desert to make a fortune?"

Two Qingyun people came out of the bunker, and they greeted the old man next to Chen Yu with a smile.

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly signaled the old man to talk nonsense with them with his eyes.

"Hahaha, who will make more money? The patriarch sent people from our tribe over today, saying that he wants to go to the Chiyang Desert to find something important. Can I do more work than I can? I can only lead them the way. "

The old man laughed.

"Oh, it's just leading the way. That's easy to say. There is no danger. Even if there is danger, you old boy is not the first to run away." A Qingyun person laughed, but looked at Chen Yu and the group with vigilant eyes .

Chen Yu's fifty cavalry are all elites of a hundred battles. Although the murderous aura on his body has not been exuded, it still makes people feel that there are two battles.

These Qingyun people are all battle-tested veterans, and they have a different sense of danger from ordinary people.

So when speaking, keep a three-point margin.

"Old man Doss, you are too greedy, but since you are going to enter the Chiyang Desert again, isn't it..."

The meaning of Qingyun people is self-evident.

He wanted the old man to pay taxes, but the old man didn't speak, but looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu sat upright on the horse, staring ahead, looking ignorant and ignorant.

The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly called out that he had really boarded a pirate ship.

"Here, this is one hundred Qingyun coins." The old man reluctantly took out the unique currency on Qingyun Plateau from his pocket.

The man brought the bag over, thought about it casually, and opened the door contentedly.

It is better to say that it is a gate than a fence made of a few tree stumps.

Chen Yu and his party entered on horseback. The horse market was divided into seven streets in total. There were horse sellers, camel sellers, food sellers, and even water sellers.

Don't ask why there are still water sellers, because the entire horse market is only one old well. Although water resources can supply the entire horse market, but Qingyun people are cunning and ruthless, how can they waste the benefits of making money.

Chapter 1698

Therefore, Qingyun people occupied the old well, and then received money from those who asked for water.

But now the number of Qingyun soldiers has dropped sharply. They have contracted the old water well to the most powerful cannibals in the horse market, allowing the cannibals to receive money, and they charge the cannibals [-] Qingyun coins every day.

In this way, even if other races want to do something, they will do it with the cannibals first, and they Qingyun people can stand on the bunker and watch the fire from the other side.

When Chen Yu and the others entered the horse market, the first thing they did was to find an inn or something and sleep first, no, they had to buy some water for use first.

A group of people lined up to the Old Shuijing neighborhood. There are all cannibals covered with leaves, and they speak different languages. The teeth of these cannibals are very sharp, like hounds, and their eyes are yellow, like the pupils of wild animals. .

From time to time, they glanced greedily at everyone. If they were not still in the horse market, they would even grab someone to drink the chaotic soup on the spot.

Chen Yu asked the old man to pay more than 60 Qingyun coins, and each of them brought a big bucket of water back to the inn.

It is better to say that it is an inn than a Datong shop. The beds in each room are connected together. When Chen Yu entered the room, the first thing Chen Yu felt was a strong smell of feet.

Some caravans had just returned to Mashi from the Chiyang Desert and were sleeping during the day.

The sound of teeth grinding, farting, and snoring came one after another, and the sound was so loud that even mosquitoes couldn't stand in it.

"Several, this is where you sleep. Remember not to pee on the bed, otherwise, the deposit will not be refunded."

Although the environment was harsh, it was better than sleeping in the open. As soon as the cavalryman came in, he couldn't wait to rush to the bed, and soon there was a snoring sound.
