Chapter 33 Qianyan Military Camp

"There is actually no direct road from Shenyu Valley to Liyue Harbor."

In the luxurious carriage, A Xu was introducing the route of the caravan to Wang Hao and Xingqiu.

"We set out from Liyue Harbor and need to cross Guili Plain to reach Wangshu Inn in Dihuazhou.
At Wangshu Inn, the caravan will take a short break and conduct the first transaction with the merchants.
The main task is to sell some goods to Mond's merchants, and then purchase some goods from Mond.

Besides Shimen Market, Wangshu Inn is the place with the most merchants in Mondstadt.

After a short rest at Wangshu Inn, we will depart from the Wangshu Inn water pier, go up along the Bishui River to Chenyu Valley Pier, and then go to Qiaoying Manor from the pier.

The caravan will take a break in Qiaoying Village, sell some goods, and then continue on their journey to Yilon Port.

The two young masters will separate halfway, and the guards and I will take you to Lingmeng Mountain, where the Wangshan Hall of the Guhua Sect is located."

While explaining, A Xu held up a map and showed it to the two young masters.

Wang Hao nodded slightly, he could understand the map.

"Approximately how long it will take." Although I can understand the map, there is no ruler on it, so it is difficult to judge the distance.

Ah Xu was obviously very experienced and answered directly:
"From Liyue Harbor to Wangshu Inn, it's all overland. The Qianyan Army guards the road, there are no thieves, and the road is unobstructed. Our caravan is also equipped with strong draft horses, and we can travel about 50 miles a day. It will take about 20 days to reach Wangshu Inn."

In other words, Wangshu Inn is a thousand miles away from Liyue Harbor.

Of course, this is a winding road, not a straight line.

Ah Xu smiled sheepishly: "It's mainly because there aren't many supply points on Guili Plains, and we carried too much cargo and baggage, otherwise it would be faster."

Wang Hao shook his head: "It doesn't matter, what about from Wangshu Inn to Chenyu Valley?"

Ah Xu continued to answer: "Once we are on the boat, it will be faster. Although it is upstream from Wangshu Inn to Chenyu Valley, the wind is usually favorable. We can travel 300 miles a day. If we take into account the time of going upstream, we will arrive in three to five days."

Wang Hao understood. In other words, it would take about a month to get from Liyue Harbor to Chenyu Valley.

This is the case of half of the journey being by water. If it were all by land, it would probably take even longer.

[WC, is it so big? ]

[It's normal, after all, it's a country that occupies one seventh of the power of a planet. If it's as small as in the game, that would be wrong. ]

【Can’t they use anchors? 】

[It is written in the game text that the ground anchor points are a relic of ancient times, and people nowadays don’t know how to use them.]

[It’s actually similar to our ancient times. Going on a long journey is like losing half your life. ]

[I thought it would arrive in a flash. ]

[It doesn't matter. Just think of it as accompanying Wang Hao to see the scenery.]

Commentators were talking about it, all of them were shocked by the journey over the past month.

For the barrage, it takes only one month to finish playing Teyvat.

After listening to A Xu's introduction, Wang Hao and Xing Qiu realized that this was a long journey.

……

Time passes day by day,

Ten days later,
The caravan also officially left the Tianheng Mountain area and entered Guiliyuan.

Wang Hao and Xingqiu were reading in the luxurious carriage.
Wang Hao reads legal books, Xingqiu reads chivalrous novels,
Neither of them was boring.

Suddenly, Ah Xu opened the door curtain, leaned in and said:
"Two young masters, we have arrived at Guiliyuan. There is a Thousand Rock Army base ahead. We will rest for a night and you two can move around. However, please do not stray too far from the base. There are many ruins in Guiliyuan and many treasure-stealing groups are active there."

"Oh, can I go out for some exercise now?" Xingqiu's eyes lit up.
Wang Hao also became a little happy.

In the past ten days, the two of them hardly left the carriage.

Not only the two of them, but everyone else was the same, they were all trying their best to hurry on their way, and except for resting and setting up camp at night, they hardly stopped.

I have already tasted some of the hardships of traveling for business.

Now that I can go out and move around, I naturally feel happy.

"Part of our cargo is logistical supplies for the Qianyan Army, which need to be dismantled, so we can rest for a day." A Xu explained.

The Qianyan Army has several garrisons in Guili Plain.
The area of ​​Guiliyuan is huge and it is quite far from Liyue Harbor, so logistics is a big problem. At the beginning, the General Affairs Department sent people from the Hutchison Office to transport logistics materials.

But when I did the math later, I realized it was a pure loss.

Finally, they could only outsource the material transportation to other large chambers of commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce provides logistics and transportation, and Hutchison Whampoa directly pays for it.

In this way, the Chamber of Commerce had a new profit point, Hutchison Whampoa saved manpower and material resources, and the Qianyan Army obtained logistical support, which was a win-win situation for all parties.

In response, the barrage commented: [What a bullshit salt-inducing method. ]

...

The caravan soon entered the Qianyan Army camp.

This is a campsite built at a four-way intersection.

Going up is Wangshu Inn.

Down below is Liyue Harbor,
To the left is Jueyunjian.
To the right is Mingyun Town.

Because of the unique geographical location, the Qianyan Army has stationed a large number of personnel here.

The huge camp was surrounded by a stone wall.
On the edge of the wall, there is a watchtower every half a hundred meters.

Every thirty minutes, a Thousand Rock Army patrolled the route around the camp.
Although it cannot be called tight, it is enough to deter the surrounding treasure-stealing groups.

The flag of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is still very useful here.

After seeing the caravan, they were simply inspected and allowed to enter the camp.

Arriving in front of a warehouse,
Wang Hao and Xingqiu got off the carriage and saw Qianyan Army soldiers coming over to dismantle the cargo.

These are all supplies for them.

"Let's go and have a look somewhere else." Xingqiu excitedly called out to Wang Hao and walked to the other side.
Wang Hao turned his head and saw that there were a lot of people gathered there, including adventurers with weapons and businessmen dressed like gentry.

But even though there are a lot of people, it’s not noisy here, but rather quiet.

Seeing Wang Hao and Xingqiu coming over,
A Qianyan Army clerk came forward and asked, "Are you two the young masters of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce?"

"How did you know?" Xingqiu looked surprised.

Wang Hao shook his head helplessly. This man was the clerk here. If he didn't understand their identities, that would be a problem.

Sure enough, the Qianyan Army clerk smiled and said, "The two of you coming over from the warehouse can only be the young masters of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."

Then he continued, "I've never met you two before, but is this your first time here?"

Xingqiu nodded: "It's my first time. What is this place for?"

"Haha, our camp is located on a major transportation route. Many people make a living here, and this is a place for them to communicate." said the Qianyan Army clerk.

"But why is no one talking?" Xingqiu asked with some confusion.

Qianyan Army Clerk said with a smile: "The military camp is a restricted area, so of course no noise is allowed. Look at the notice board over there. All the news is on it. If you are interested, you can find the corresponding booth to communicate. That's why it looks like no one is talking."

A hint of understanding appeared in the eyes of the two men, and they realized that there was already a unique way of communication here.

After thanking the Qianyan Army clerk, the two walked towards the bulletin board.

Sure enough, there were a lot of messages written on it.

"Position One: Clear out the Hillilchur camp in the wild. Anyone who's in a group, send a scout."

"Number Two: Explore newly discovered ruins. There may be a treasure-stealing group. Find someone who can fight."

"Position Three: Hire an adventure group to escort the caravan to Shimen. The commission is negotiable."

"..."

A lot of task information is marked on it.
From clearing monsters to escorting caravans and visiting ruins, there are all kinds of tasks, including all kinds of commissions and information.

It can be seen that a complete ecosystem has been formed here.
