Chapter 958： 4 Water City

Jingguo borders with Qingguo and Song. The southeast of Jingguo is Qingguo, and the northeast is Songguo.

The checkpoints of Jingguo and Qingguo are called Jianjiaguan, and the checkpoints of Songguo are called Beihai Customs. The reason why it is called such a name is because Beiguan is a checkpoint built at sea.

The sea where the two countries intersect is called the North Sea. The North Sea is different from the former sea that Zhou Ran passed before. The North Sea is calm and calm, and it is feasible to take a light boat.

Zhou Ran traveled by boat, and the big ship sailed on the North Sea, like a flat ground.

Beihai is not big. Soon, we arrived at Beihai Customs.

Although the Beihai Customs House was built above the sea, it still towered into the clouds and was extremely majestic.

Jingguo and Qingguo Bingrong met, so Jianjiaguan seemed extremely deserted, but the relationship between Jingguo and Songguo was very good, the two sides had no communication, the North Customs had never been closed, and there were countless ships coming and going.

Zhou Ran's boat quickly passed through Beihai Customs.

traveled for a while, and finally came to Sishui City, the first city-state of Song Dynasty.

Sishuicheng, as the name implies, has four rivers running through the city, so it is named after it.

Zhou Ran looked at the walls of Sishui City and couldn't help feeling emotion.

"Originally thought that the city-state of Jing State is prosperous enough, but compared with Song State, it is far inferior. Song State is so prosperous, at least for hundreds of years of truce, it has this situation!"

Before he came to Song Dynasty, Zhou Ran learned some things about Song Kingdom from Jing Guoguo's chief Jing Kang.

The Song State is a permanent neutral state among the twelve countries in the Inner Territory. This identity saves the Song State from the scourge of bingo.

Qingguo company continued to fight and used troops against neighboring countries, but Song Guo never fought hard, except for the territory, all the requests for Qingguo were agreed.

It can be said that a large part of Qing’s military expenditure comes from Song.

Song Guo Committee's Qu Qiu Quan has contributed to Qing Guo's arrogance, but this is also Song Guo's way of preserving himself.

It was precisely because of the stubborn bow of the Kingdom of Song that it kept the prosperity of the Kingdom of Song. The position of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Song has been passed down for dozens of generations, and it is the oldest of the twelve inland regions.

Therefore, Jing Kang let Zhou Ran come to Song Kingdom.

Song Guo's understanding of Xiuluozhu is afraid that it is the deepest of the twelve sovereigns in the Inner Territory.

The big boat that Zhou Ran took was docked at the port of Sishui City. Zhou Ran disembarked and came to the market of Sishui City.

It is very lively here, not only the people of Song, Jing, and Qing, but also many people in other countries in the inner region. It is really like a hodgepodge.

Zhou Ran was hanging around the market, and a hawker stopped Zhou Ran.

"Guest, you must be a noble from a certain country? Do you need to buy some specialty products?"

Zhou Ran stunned, looked up and down at this hawker.

"How do you know that I am a noble?"

He was plainly dressed and could not judge his identity from the clothes. The hawker's eyesight was so powerful.

The hawker smiled and said, "Guests, I see a lot of nobles like you, don't look at me. I only sell some gadgets, I have seen a lot of great people! Who made Song Kingdom prosperous? The nobles of all countries in the region Walking around in Song Kingdom, you are just one of them."

"really interesting!"

Zhou Ran smiled, even a hawker had such a vision, which shows that the prosperity of the Song Kingdom is not a worthy name.

is preparing to draw more things out of the hawker's mouth, but Zhou Ran looks dull.

Behind him was someone tracking himself. This person seemed to be careful. Where did he escape his eyes?

"Boss, I'm sorry, I have no money on me."

dropped a sentence, Zhou Ran left the market.

all the way, Zhou Ran came to a remote alley in Sishui City.

The tracker is hotly chasing, where does he know that he has been caught in Zhou Ran's trap?

After 　　 entered the alley, the tracker lost Zhou Ran's traces and was at a loss, but Zhou Ran appeared behind him.

"Oh it's you!"

Zhou Ran coldly said that this person who followed himself was Ye Ziwen, the head of Hei Lu Jingguo Branch.

Once he entrusted Ye Ziwen to investigate information for himself, Ye Ziwen was also conscientious, but because he belonged to Hei Lu, he eventually betrayed himself.

Zhou Ran didn't blame it, but now, he actually follows himself, which is another matter.

"Yeziwen, do you really think that your micro tricks can follow me?" Zhou Ran disdained.

Yezi is a high-ranking black star and naturally has a strong reconnaissance ability.

But that is only relative to ordinary people. When Ye Ziwen faced Zhou Ran, the reconnaissance ability was completely insufficient.

"It's worthy of being a champion, since it has been discovered by you, you have to kill it, you must listen to it!" Ye Ziwen looks like a big actor.

Zhou Ran didn't mean to kill him, but asked: "Why are you following me? It was Hei Lu big shopkeeper who sent you?"

Ye Ziwen smiled bitterly: "The big shopkeeper is dead, and Hei Lu is headless again. Lord Shi Ji can't find a suitable candidate, so he personally leads Hei Lu. As for what I'm doing here, it's just following you! Master Shi Ji will Hei Lu sent elite to Sishui City, let us collect intelligence, I don’t know how to do it, I saw you, so I followed you all the way.”

"What else?"

Zhou Ran felt a little surprised.

Generally speaking, shouldn't this be targeted?

But Shi Ji didn't tell anyone what to investigateHe only allowed Hei Liao to gather intelligence and let everyone collide like headless flies, what makes sense?

Zhou Ran again said: "Since Shi Ji has acted, I am afraid that there will be a big conspiracy here. I don't think you have lied. This time, I will not kill you. You only need to tell me where the Helu base is. "

"Base?"

Yeziwen seemed hesitant. If he told Zhou Ran's Hei Lu stronghold, it would be tantamount to betraying Hei Lu.

In this way, he will no longer have a place in Hei Lu.

Seeing Yeziwen did not speak, Zhou Ran said again: "Yeziwen, I admire your courage. If you insist on dying, I won't stop you, so choose your own way!"

Zhou Ran's words showed a hint of murderousness, making Ye Ziwen have to compromise.

Ye Ziwen sighed and said, "Hei Lu's stronghold is in Lingyin Temple outside Sishui City. Every night, everyone will meet there."

"Very good!" Zhou Ran smirked and looked at Ye Ziwen again, "Ye Ziwen, I don't kill you, but that doesn't mean I won't kill you in my life! I order you to leave Sishuicheng, if next time I will see you again, you will definitely die!"

Zhou Ran's words made Ye Ziwen tremble involuntarily.

Yezi clearly felt that Zhou Ran was more terrifying than Lord Shiji.

Such a ruthless man, how dare he violate him? ?

"Champions, you can rest assured! I will disappear in front of you, from now on, I will never let you see!"

said, Ye Ziwen left in disgrace.
