Chapter 690 Dongting Mountain, the City of San Miao

Ximiao is a descendant of the authentic Jiuli tribe, and he has 50,000 armored warriors. Dongmiao is less than 30,000, and his strength is slightly weak. Therefore, in the alliance of elders of Sanmiao, Ximiao has occupied five seats, and Dongmiao only occupied two. However, Ximiao's gold element is strong, and the bloodline of the gold was born in Ximiao, so Every emperor of Sanmiao is served by the Ximiao people. In addition to lamenting the injustice of heaven, the Dongmiao people are resentful of the Ximiao people.

However, there is one thing that the Ximiao people rely on Dongmiao, which is salt. Ximiao does not produce salt, and the salt needed must be transported from the East China Sea to which Dongmiao belongs. As a result, it has been doubledly exploited. It not only has to be exchanged for a large amount of tribute from various tribes, but also has to compromise politically. Ximiao people have been annoyed for a long time. The problem is that they don't produce salt and have to eat it every day. For hundreds of years, they have been swallowing it.

Now that I heard that my tribe has found a salt mine, how can I not be ecstatic?

"We found it by accident. The clan did not dare to be good at it. He specially ordered us to report to Miaodu and planned to dedicate the salt mine to Emperor Miao! If Emperor Miao accepts it, he hopes that His Majesty can give us one hundred and eighty miles of land near Miaodu, and we will move here. Stay away from the yellow man!" Li Wenming bargained like a diplomat.

"No problem, no problem." Jing arrogant waved his hand repeatedly, "I'll take you to Miaodu. Well, as soon as this big good news comes out, the elders don't know how to be happy... Er, by the way, you must keep your mouth shut and strictly prohibit it from revealing it to anyone. You know the depth. Once the Dongmiao people know, hum, they can't say that they will immediately send people to kill your tribe, and it's not known to rob the salt mine. Jing was intimidated.

Xi Wenming made a pale face appropriately, and even nodded, and Xia Yan nodded seriously.

With the protection of the scene, it will be smooth sailing when you go to the seedlings.

Go south around the mountain of Dongting. This mountain is a veritable treasure mountain. There is a lot of gold on it, silver and iron under it. There are many trees, pear trees, orange trees and grapefruit trees. On the mountain are dense herbs such as orchids, s, peony, and Chuanxiong. However, it is said that there are many strange gods and birds on the mountain. Those strange gods are shaped like human beings, with giant snakes coiled around their bodies and snakes in their hands, refusing human beings to enter this treasure mountain.

The mountain of Dongting can be said to be the divine mountain in the minds of Sanmiao people. There is a medium-sized tribe at the foot of the mountain, called "Yaomu clan", which makes a living by fishing and hunting. Because of its good geographical location, most of the exchanges between Sanmiao and Miaodu have passed through, and the development is quite prosperous, and most of the specialties of the southern wilderness are traded here.

Everyone passed the Miaomu clan at noon, and they could see the outline of Miaodu from afar.

The most mysterious and horrible capital for the Yanhuang people is actually a narrow peninsula deep into Dongtingze, covering an area of about a hundred miles. On the outermost part of the peninsula is a huge stone mountain, which extends into the middle of the river. It happens to have a width of 15 or six feet in the middle, which becomes the gate of Miaodu. The Sanmiao people carved the left and right stone mountains into two huge and unparalleled beasts, up to more than 30 feet high, with giant eyes larger than human heads and staring down vigilantly.

This is a magic beast that guards Chi Youjia in Lei Ze and makes Gan Tang can't wait to kill it. In the eyes of the Sanmiao people, it is a mythical beast raised by Chi You, and it is their guardian beast. In fact, these two whole mountain beasts do have the ability to protect them, and the Sanmiao people don't know what they have done. Once an enemy attacks in front of Miaodu, the beast can actually spewed poisonous water and divine fire from its mouth, with a range of more than 200 feet, covering a range of several miles. However, it has not been used for hundreds of years. It was also the last time that Emperor Xuanli was drunk and boasted that he let him find out.

Except for the soldiers stationed on the observation tower above the stone, there were only eight soldiers guarding the Miaodu gate, which was quite lax. Jinghao led the people**, and no one stopped him. Entering the city gate, there is a flat river in front of you. There is a wide avenue in the middle, a little similar to the Heavenly Street of Diqiu. On both sides are residents' houses, about ten miles wide, and behind the houses is the surging Dongtingze.

Looking at the surrounding houses, Xi Wenming and Xia Yan felt that Sanmiao's national life was withered. Ordinary residents wear similar clothes to the tribes they have seen, mainly animal skins. The private houses in the national capital are almost all tattered and also built of wood and stone. In front of the house is a noisy trading market, and behind the house is a wharf, drying fishing nets, and countless canoes and slightly larger boats are moored.

Everyone walked through the dirty downtown, and the terrain began to tilt up. In the distance, they saw the towering huge palaces standing at the end of the peninsula. In the morning, the fog did not dissipate, and the highest part of the palace seemed to be floating in the clouds, and only the continuous steps were connected to the earth.

This palace is very familiar with Li Wenming. After all, he has lived in Miaodu for more than half a year and knows that this is the political center of Sanmiao Kingdom - Chiyou Temple. The most towering place in the middle is the Chiyou Palace, where Emperor Miao lived. On the left is the Holy Lady's Palace, which is where he longsought of Shangsha's residence. On the right is the Jiuli Palace, the place where the elders discuss and live. Among the seven elders, the Qingya, Guiye, Dapeng, Jinwei and Youjing all live here. The elders of Dongmiao are Fangfeng and Zhongshan, and there are their residences. It is not certain if the person is not there.

The whole palace group is collectively known as the Chiyou Temple. Five thousand dragon knights selected from all races are scattered around the temple, guarding the safety of the palace.

However, unlike Diqiu, under Chiyou Temple, there are no mansions of the kings of various tribes. Some tribes have permanent "offices" in Miaodu, which are mostly based on trade, which is no different from ordinary houses. The same is true of the "office" of the Youjing tribe.

Jingyao took Shi Wenming and others to a street-facing house not far from the Chiyou Temple. The house is a little "luxury". There is actually a courtyard wall, which is still made of stone. The yard is full of fur and bronze ore. More than a dozen ethnic groups and 20 or 30 buyers are shouting.

As soon as he saw the clan coming, a middle-aged man in his thirties hurried over, grabbed the horse and waited for him to get off the horse. Jing Hao jumped off his horse, threw the reins to him, and whispered, "Jing Mou, please come here immediately. There is a big deal to discuss."

The middle-aged man Jing Mou's eyes flashed, nodded gently, and then flashed out. Ni Wenming looked at it carefully. This Jing Mou has strong understanding ability, does things calmly, and is not ostentatious. His physical actions are like running water. It seems that there are many talents in the small Youjing tribe! No wonder Sanmiao Country, with a population of seven or eight hundred thousand, has not fallen behind for hundreds of years against the two or three million people.

The outside of this building is not big, and the area inside is not small. After passing through the three-story courtyard, it came to a big house in the back. The house is poorly decorated, but strong, with at least 30 heavily armed soldiers patrolling around, and there are also people patrolling on the roof. It seems that this is the core.

Washing and eating, Xi Wenming and Xia Yan were treated very well. Only half of the incense time, before the meal was finished, footsteps sounded in the yard. Jing Mou strode over with a thin old man with long sleeves. Jing Xiao and others immediately greeted him out. There was no doubt that the old man was his father, the elder Jing Lie.

Sixi Wenming and Xia Yan hurriedly saluted. Jing Lie's face was cold and solemn, and he returned the salute faintly. He didn't pay attention to these small tribal elders with only a few hundred people, but at present, they have a big treasure, and they are still polite. After a few words of greeting, he asked, "Bird elders, can outsiders know the newly discovered salt mine at present?"

This is the name given by myself and my uncle. His name is Bird Egg, and Grandpa's name is Bird Blue. Bird eggs are pure fiction, and bird blue is really a person. Shi Wenming had seen it in those years and directly used it for embezzlement.

The bird blue elder could not speak, and as usual, the bird egg was the spokesman: "The elder, after our family found the salt mine, we knew that it was of great importance. We immediately sealed it and sent people to guard it, so we kept sending grandpa and me to report the news. Our place is extremely remote, and no outsiders know about it. The clan strictly prohibits the clan from going out for fear that the news will be leaked.
