Chapter 478 Guide
Xiao Yu had no objection. After changing their clothes, everyone applied yellow gardenia water and bought a few horses. When they were about to set off, a barbaric man found them.
It turned out that General Fuyuan sent them here to serve as their guide.
This man's name is Pochai. He is originally from the Baiyi people. He can speak both the Baiyi language and Chinese.
This is really a pillow for someone who is sleepy. Gu Fei was thinking about going to Nanzhao because he didn't understand the language and it was difficult to inquire about things. With this person, he would not worry.
So I bought another horse for Po Gui. There are a lot of horse sellers on the border. The horses here are called barbarian horses in the British Dynasty. They are very different from the horses in the Central Plains. Barbarian horses are not tall, but they are strong, powerful and have strong endurance, so they are suitable for Take the mountain trail.
Gu Fei did not put the previous horse and carriage into the space. The horses are living creatures and they have to eat, drink and have fun. Gu Fei does not want his space to be destroyed by them.
With a guide, it was much easier. Pocai took them for an hour and arrived at a town.
Pochai pointed to the city wall made of loess and said, "That's the city of Wuka in Nanzhao Kingdom."
Gu Fei rode up and asked, "Can we enter if we are not from Nanzhao?"
Po Guai smiled and said, "If you can get in, just pay the money."
Although the two countries will fight a war within a few years, they do not prohibit trade between their people. The economy of Nanzhao relies heavily on the export of jade, and the British Dynasty is the largest importer of jade.
It's just that you have to pay money to enter the city, and the copper coins of the British Dynasty can also be circulated in Nanzhao.
The stone was paid with money, and the soldiers guarding the gate let them in.
Entering the city gate, Gu Fei looked around. There was not much difference between Wuka City and Mengmao. The buildings were all traditional bamboo buildings of the Baiyi people.
It is a bit like a stilted building, but the bottom is not as high as the stilted building. It is probably elevated to prevent moisture.
There are no people living downstairs, so some livestock are usually raised, and people live upstairs.
Pochai led a few people through the town and walked for another half an hour before arriving at a village.
He guessed: "I have an older brother I know well who lives here. He is in the jade business and knows very well about the mine. Let's ask him first."
Several people walked to a bamboo building and got off their horses.
Pochai raised his head and shouted towards the bamboo building, "Saipan, Saipan—"
Gu Fei was stunned for a moment, then turned his face away, covered his mouth, and his shoulders kept twitching.
This name reminded her of a funny joke in her previous life.
However, Gu Fei knew that it was rude to smile like this, and after a while, she tried her best to hold it back.
Xiao Yu looked at her frequently and whispered: "What's wrong?"
Gu Fei just shook his head.
Pochai shouted for a while, and a Baiyi man stuck his head out of the window of the bamboo building, "Pochai, why are you here?"
Pochai smiled and said, "I'm bringing a few friends here to ask you about something."
Saiban waved his hand, "Come up and tell me!"
A few people followed Pocai to the back and went up the stairs. Saipan stood at the door and spoke enthusiastically. He spoke in Chinese, but the pronunciation was a bit strange and it sounded a bit laborious.
After entering the room and sitting down, Saipan enthusiastically served them fruits.
After Po Guessing the purpose of his visit, Saipan thought for a while and said, "There are three jade quarries in Nanzhao, with a total of more than 20 jade quarries."
Gu Fei was stunned for a moment. With so many scenes, it would be difficult to find one.
Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "We are not familiar with Nanzhao. I would like to ask you to be our guide. Do you think it is okay?"
Saipan hesitated, and Gu Fei quickly took out a fifty-tael silver ingot, "I won't let you run away in vain, this little silver will be regarded as your hard work."
