At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Xia Yun and his three companions returned to the Governor's Mansion.

The three of them first took off their armor, and then put on the three sets of Dune Dynasty costumes they had just purchased.

When the three of them appeared in the lobby again, they all looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

It has to be said that as a burly man on the Mobei grassland, Tuoba Jinghui looked exactly like a member of the Dune tribe after he changed into the clothes of the Dune Dynasty.

On the other hand, Xia Yun and Xiang Wentian, after putting on fox fur coats and a series of equipment, looked distinctly exotic!

……

Time flies and two days passed quickly.

In the past two days, Xia Yun's figure has been constantly appearing in the streets and alleys of Kto City.

From the mouths of those Dune people, Xia Yun learned a lot about their habits and the rules of the Dune Dynasty.

Because of this, Xia Yun already had a rough judgment of the Dune Dynasty in his heart.

As Xia Yun expected, the current Dune Dynasty has undergone an industrial revolution to a certain extent.

But its essence is still a feudal serfdom society, and the entire power structure is full of exploitation and oppression.

The number of serfs living in the Dune Dynasty alone is no less than tens of millions, almost accounting for half of the Dune people.

Over the years, uprisings have often broken out within the Dune Dynasty, and people in all places have been in a state of dire straits.

The new Tsar, Catherine II, most likely launched a series of wars against foreign countries in order to stabilize domestic conflicts.

Transforming domestic conflicts into foreign conflicts is a consistent practice of centralized rule.

Although the city of Keto is the territory of the Dune Dynasty, in terms of geographical location, the city of Keto is closer to the Daliang Dynasty.

This is why Xia Yun did not see much exploitation and oppression in Keto City.

Early in the morning of that day, Xia Yun appeared outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

Today is the day he decided to leave the city of Ktor and head to the interior of the Dune Dynasty.

Looking at the streets on both sides and watching the busy people of the Dune Tribe, Xia Yun felt a rare sense of peace in his heart.

"Marshal, everything is ready. Fifty horses are loaded with tea, porcelain and other supplies."

When Xia Yun was concentrating, Tuoba Jinghui and Xiang Wentian appeared behind him.

In order to conceal their tracks, they used the identities of merchants from the Mobei grassland.

Over the past few years, the Daliang Dynasty and the Shaqiu Dynasty have gradually lost contact.

Some people on the Mobei grassland discovered business opportunities and took on the responsibility of promoting trade between the two places.

They first purchased large quantities of tea, porcelain, silk and other items from the Daliang Dynasty.

Then they were transported directly to the territory of the Dune Dynasty through the Mobei grassland and sold at high prices, making huge profits.

The Dune Dynasty has long adopted a tacit attitude towards this.

After all, when the two dynasties were not in contact with each other, only the barbarians had the ability to transport tea, porcelain and other items to the territory of the Dune Dynasty.

During this period, there were also businessmen from the Dune Dynasty who wanted to get involved in this business.

However, on the Mobei grasslands, only the barbarians are qualified to travel freely.

Once people of other races appear on the Mobei grassland, it will be difficult for them to even save their own lives, let alone do transportation business!

"lets go."

Xia Yun nodded and exhaled a puff of hot air from his mouth.

For a moment, Bai Yun felt a little dazed.

They are now in the territory of the Dune Dynasty. Unlike the Daliang Dynasty, this land is cold all year round.

Even though it is still October, the temperature in the city of Kerto is almost approaching zero degrees Celsius!

"set off!"

Following Xia Yun's order, Tuoba Jinghui immediately let out a loud shout.

Fifty old horses loaded with supplies immediately set off towards the city gate.

Xia Yun and the other two were riding in the front, and at the same time, the 500 automated troops sent by Li Taisui had already gotten ahead of Xia Yun and the other two and left the city of Kto quietly.

"My lord! My lord!"

Before they knew it, a quarter of an hour had passed. Just as Xia Yun and his group were about to leave the city, they suddenly heard a shout from behind them.

Xia Yun grabbed the reins and looked back, only to find that the person coming was none other than the shop owner they met two days ago, Paul!

"grown ups!"

Seeing Xia Yun stop his horse, Paul quickly quickened his pace and came to Xia Yun, panting.

"anything?"

Xia Yun raised his eyebrows, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Sir...you are going to the Dune Dynasty, right? I have a request, and I hope you can agree to it."

Paul adjusted himself in time and spoke breathlessly.

"any request?"

Xia Yun didn't expect that Paul could actually guess where they were going.

Hearing this, Paul quickly took out a letter from his arms.

"Sir, I haven't been back to my hometown for many years. This is a letter from me. If you don't mind, I hope you can deliver it to St. Anton for me. The specific address is on the envelope."

As Paul spoke, he respectfully placed the letter in his palms.

Seeing this, Xia Yun was stunned for a moment, but soon he took the letter from Paul.

"It's just on my way. I'll bring the letter to your house."

Xia Yun nodded in response.

It just so happened that the destination they were going to was the city of St. Anthony.

Bringing a letter is just a piece of cake.

"Thank you, sir. I sincerely wish you a safe journey."

Paul had a look of gratitude on his face, clasped his hands together, and then prayed devoutly.

In the past two days, the entire city of Kto has known about the existence of a person named Xia Yun.

And because when Xia Yun came to Ketu City before, he was personally greeted by Tuoba Jinghui and Li Taisui who were stationed in Ketu City, the ordinary people in Ketu City also knew Xia Yun's true identity.

The Great Marshal of the Liang Dynasty's Northern Expedition commanded an elite army of over 600,000!

Not long after, Xia Yun and his group set off again and quickly walked out of the gate of Kto City.

"Marshal, this is the map that General Li Taisui just sent. It is said to be the most complete map of the Dune Dynasty at present."

After Xia Yun and his group left the city, Xiang Wentian, who had stayed in the city for a while, hurriedly rode to Xia Yun, took out a map, and handed it to Xia Yun respectfully.

Xia Yun took the map and took a look at it.

As it said, the information recorded on this map is very complete.

Including the information about all the roads they took from the city of Quetto to the city of St. Anthony, all were marked very clearly.
