Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1077: Chapter 263: What? The Commandery Princess Fed the Gu God? (2)

But turning their heads, they saw a majestic city not far away.

Seeing this city, someone said, ”That is Chongshan Prefecture City, ah, how is this possible, we’ve only been walking for a short while, and we’re already at Chongshan Prefecture City!”

Indeed, just before entering the cave, they were still eighty miles away from Chongshan Prefecture City, and it only took about two hours to pass through the cave.

Keep in mind, this was on foot, without using Martial Arts.

Walking eighty miles in two hours, and it’s even mountain roads, this is simply unbelievable.

Everyone marveled, while Chen Jie looked at this cave and thought, so that’s how it is. Earlier, when asking for directions, the waiter said to cross two mountains, then see a river, and follow it east for sixty miles to reach Chongshan City.

So, it’s counted as eighty miles.

But there’s another possibility, that the shortest distance between two points was originally eighty miles around the mountains.

But with a cave like a later tunnel cutting straight through the mountain, it saves a most of the time, this is real convenience.

Chen Jie thought, he couldn’t help but marvel, this might be the earliest man-made tunnel of this era.

The group was led out, then continued into the mountains.

The Miao people are indeed troublesome, no wonder the Central Plains have launched multiple expeditions against them, all of which ended in failure; it makes sense, as the Miao land is mountainous, and if you can’t defeat them, they hide in the mountains, and no one can catch them.

And don’t forget, this place is where the Dragon Vein is located, a branch of the Wuling Mountain Range, also one of the Southern Dragons.

And the Miao people have even conquered this Dragon Vein land, their gathering place is actually within the Dragon Vein.

This is the first time Chen Jie has seen people living within a Dragon Vein.

Hua Bozi led them up the mountain, and soon they saw the gray fog unique to the Dragon Vein, then Hua Bozi resolutely led Chen Jie and them into the gray fog.

Inside this gray fog, the majority are snakes, insects, rats, and ants, Chen Jie and his group have already seen over a dozen of them.

Elsewhere, these creatures would definitely cause quite a stir, but here, it’s just normal, as Miao people play with these creatures since birth.

To them, these creatures are just adorable little animals.

Hiss hiss hiss...

As Chen Jie’s group came down the path, they saw diverse venomous snakes on the branches not far away, watching them, flicking their tongues, not afraid of humans at all.

Seeing this, Chen Jie marveled in his heart, truly a Miao Village.

Following the gray fog, they continued forward and finally saw an ancient village, using thick round logs for the perimeter fence, with a large gate in the center, which was labeled [Wangu Village].

Looking at Wangu Village in front, Chen Jie felt the characters above were ancient, with an imposing and grand aura.

Soon, their group was spotted by the village’s patrol Miao Soldiers, who shouted sternly, ”Where are you from?”

Hearing this, Hua Bozi said, ”Leader, I’m Hua Bozi!”

Hua Bozi?

After hearing this, the man immediately brought a squad over, and upon seeing Hua Bozi said, ”Hua Bozi, you almost missed today’s delivery time, if you were late, you’d lose your head like that floral neck of yours.”

Hearing this, Hua Bozi laughed and handed him a purse; the man took it, looked at the silver coins inside, and smiled, ”What is this for?”

Hua Bozi said, ”Leader Lord, please be understanding.”

Hearing this, the patrol team leader said, ”You boy, be careful next time, if the Steward Lord finds out I let you through the backdoor, I’ll be scolded.”

Hua Bozi replied, ”Yes, yes, I won’t next time; but the rainstorm from the east delayed me this time.”

The patrol leader weighed the purse and said, ”Alright, give me the people, here’s your token.”

”Thank you, Lord.”

Hua Bozi immediately thanked him and took the token; with this token, one could bring fifty people at a time, earning a token, where each person needed at least three tokens. If less than three tokens, the consequences were severe, with punishment according to Five Poison Sect regulations.

Hua Bozi took the token, left with gratefulness over a thousand times.

Then the patrol leader said, ”Let’s go.”

Saying that, Chen Jie and his group were once again driven like cattle and horses into Wangu Village, but this time entering from a side path, taking a detour into a small mountain path, with so many twists and turns, Chen Jie memorized the route, seemingly circling around the village, eventually reaching the back of the village, near a cliff.

Chen Jie arrived there and saw a huge artificially mined stone pit, where hundreds of Jianghu Guests were digging rocks in the spacious pit.

Chen Jie noticed the pit was deep, with steps constructed within.

It seemed they were building a staircase hanging from a nearby cliff.

Chen Jie frowned. A staircase, could it be the steps prepared to welcome something?

And those Heroes of the River were like laborers, each one carrying a bamboo basket on their backs, digging dirt here, then carrying it up, piling it up in the distance, where it was already as high as a small mountain.

As Chen Jie was zoning out, a group of Miao people wearing Supervisor clothes came over.

Leading them was an exceptionally strong man, his eyes cold like snakes and scorpions, with a powerful Gang Qi emanating, and just from his Gang Qi, Chen Jie could tell he was likely a strongman at the Rainbow Realm.
