In Dingzhou, Menglangcheng, the man waved his sleeves and brushed the ascetic monk to the other side, the servants at the entrance of several shops in the city also found several strangers coming.

Although Dingzhou is still several states away from the northern battlefield, it is also several states away from the Taoist city that was attacked by King Yuanying of Zhongshan before, and the Zhongli area is also separated from several states. What's more, King Yuanying of Zhongshan led his army to penetrate into the Southern Dynasty unexpectedly, and was also rushing to Jiankang, to cut off the connection between Jiankang and the northern border troops. If possible, it would be better to invade the Jiankang area in one fell swoop.

Dingzhou is still a safe place far away from the war zone among the sand tables of the generals of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

At the time of the transition from spring and summer this year, when wars in the northern border were frequent, the Dingzhou area was not affected at all. People lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived whatever they should do. Most people did not even realize that the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty had already begun a life-and-death battle.

But now it is completely different. Although it has not been affected by the war, it is obvious that with the arrival of people from the prefectures and counties who escaped the war, with the frequent appearance of some transit troops, many things have quietly changed.

Many things have quietly become scarce.

Even the most common hay and coarse salt for feeding animals have become extremely scarce.

Obviously more caravans were commuting than before, but the war on the front line was like a huge water suction port, quietly evacuating the water in the surrounding pond.

The name of Menglangcheng is very ordinary, but it has an important position in Menglangcheng, Dingzhou.

There are several large businesses in Menglongcheng, which operate in ore and weapons businesses.

These businesses themselves do not have a workshop for making weapons, but their business has turned Menglang City into an important distribution center for ores and weapons in the Southern Dynasty.

These businesses had already started to operate these businesses a hundred years ago. From the small horse gang to the rich family nowadays, they were able to use various means to continuously trade some high-quality ore in Dangxiang and Tuguhun here, and as a priority exchange, the weapons produced by many workshops in the Southern Dynasties were also selected and acquired by them at the first time.

It is no exaggeration to say that although there is no decent weapon refining workshop in Dingzhou, Ningzhou, Xiangzhou, and even some famous workshops in Jiankang area may appear in the shops in Menglongcheng within a few days as long as they are refined today.

As the border war intensified, there were also turmoil in various places. As more refugees were sent to the mountains, more horses and bandits were soon, and many clans had higher demand for private troops. Therefore, the business of these shops in Menglongcheng was even more popular than in previous years.

Weapons are no more than ordinary goods. Those who can be purchased are not clans, but also bandits or generals who lick blood on the head of the knife.

If there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that these businesses will not be able to afford it.

Therefore, the shopkeepers and shopkeepers of these businesses are not ordinary people. Even the shops who stand at the shop to greet customers usually have worked elsewhere in the business for more than ten years, so their vision is naturally very vicious.

So when an old army-like man and two young men, a man and a woman, just appeared in their sight, the guys at the doors of several shops in this street all had a slight look in their eyes, and they all felt that these three were not ordinary people.

The old army looked like a man in his thirties and forties, wearing only ordinary coarse military uniforms and without armor. He could not tell what kind of army military officers were. Moreover, although this man did not look powerful, these vicious guys looked like a lion who was full and had nothing to do, squinted in the flock of sheep.

The young man and the young man looked like twenty years old, or even younger.

But neither of them gives people a frivolous feeling like the young people in the city. The young man doesn't look too handsome, but his figure is tall and has an indescribable heroic spirit. He looks very similar to a white scholar, and his face is very peaceful and looks easy to talk to, but he gives people an inexplicable sense of pressure.

As for the woman, she was both heroic and beautiful, and these guys could be sure that this woman must have come from a powerful family.

The feeling of being fluttered in the gaze seemed to feel ordinary when you saw anything, which made these guys feel the noble aura on her at a glance.

These three people obviously came with a purpose, either strolling around, and it seemed that it was the woman who led her straight towards a shop closest to the street.

This shop is called Jinfengfang, and the storefront is not the largest in this street, but this is the shop of Chengtian, which is the largest shop in Menglong City.

Seeing the three of them coming straight towards their shop, the guy at the door took a deep breath and went up to meet them.

But before he could speak, the woman's voice had already gently reached his ears, "Tell your shopkeeper, he said he was from the Jiankang Chen family."

The guy's expression changed suddenly. He bowed without hesitation and said, "Please follow me, distinguished guests."

He didn't take the three of them to stay in the shop displaying various weapons, but he just bounced a copper wire when he entered the door, and a crisp copper bell rang in the courtyard inside. He took the three of them directly into the backyard and went upstairs.

The shopkeeper of this shop was already waiting at the door of the elegant room upstairs. When he saw the three of them going upstairs, he bowed and said, "Fu Linglong has met the eldest lady."

Although his face was calm, even though the three of them followed him into the elegant room and sat down, his heart was beating, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and looked at the young woman opposite him and said, "Come here, why don't you let the servants inform you first? We are not prepared, and we may be lacking in etiquette."

"I am giving it to someone, and I will buy it by the way, without any politeness."

The young woman waved her hand and signaled that he would not have to be so polite.

"Send someone? In the march?"

The shopkeeper of this shop is Fu Linglong, and his mind is also very delicate. He listened to this sentence and looked at the young woman's expression to the man beside him. When he thought of the woman in Zhongli City before, his breathing paused immediately, his face could no longer be calm. He looked at the young man in shock, and even his voice trembled, "You...are you the Tie Ce Army... General Lin Yi?"

This woman from the Chen family is naturally Chen Baowan.

And the man beside her was Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned by his expression and said, "I am Lin Yi."

Fu Linglong is over fifty years old this year. He has seen countless noble officials and countless border generals in his life. But at this time, he was shocked when he looked at Lin Yi. For a moment, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

He was speechless for a moment, but he subconsciously bowed his body and gave a big gift.
