Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1122: Chapter 384: Entering the City, Using Aliases, Rule Breakers (Part 2)

Liu Yuan was taken aback by Han Peng’s words, his face filled with suspicion, ”The people from the Jinshan Chamber of Commerce just arrived last night, did you send two groups?”

”Lord, there’s a misunderstanding...”

Mistaken for being part of the Jinshan Chamber of Commerce’s team, Han Peng immediately explained.

It’s not surprising Liu Yuan misunderstood, considering his team consisted of over a hundred people, with seventeen at Cold Resistance Level, and pulling a large wagon. The scale was indeed nearly similar to that of a team from the Town City Chamber of Commerce.

”We are from Jinshan Town Yinhe Valley. Please excuse us, Lord, our trade convoy was hastily assembled by nine village-level camps in Yinhe Valley upon hearing that Great Xia Town was open for commerce to all. Firstly for security, and secondly hoping to gather a considerable amount of materials and silver to exchange for good items at Hongmen and bring them back.”

”Yinhe Valley, I see!”

Upon hearing Han Peng’s answer, Liu Yuan nodded immediately.

Since the port at Hongmen opened in July, there have been many trade convoys similar to that of Yinhe Valley, formed by multiple village-level camps, so he wasn’t surprised.

”There are nine districts in Jinshan Town, and you are from Yinhe Valley, the one farthest to the west, correct?”

Upon hearing Liu Yuan’s words, Han Peng showed a slight surprise, cupping his fists, ”I didn’t expect the Lord to have an understanding of Jinshan Town.”

Liu Yuan immediately realized he had been a bit talkative, lightly coughed to make amends, ”Great Xia is now one of the Nine Towns, naturally there’s an understanding of the other Eight Towns. The mountain roads are long, you must have had a hard journey. Please proceed to register! The number of people in the convoy, each person’s name, age, and origin—all must be clearly written, and will be rechecked upon exiting the city.”

This Hongmen City, is it really managed so strictly!

Han Peng’s heart was slightly shocked, but he dared not speak his thoughts out loud. Instead, he turned to call others over, preparing for individual registration, while he was the first to step forward and register.

”Name, age, place of origin?”

”Han Peng, 81 years old, Jinshan Town Yinhe Valley, from Jinyang Village.”

”I advise everyone: it’s best not to fabricate. Unless you’re confident you’ll never be discovered throughout your life, if we find out anyone’s information is incorrect, that person will be recorded by Great Xia, and will never be allowed into Hongmen City in the future.”

Just after Han Peng answered the first question, upon hearing Liu Yuan’s words, his expression slightly tensed before moving on to answer the second question.

Many people in the trailing team showed slightly serious expressions upon hearing Liu Yuan’s warning, though some revealed a look of defiance.

Yang Ning and Li Hu both furrowed their brows but exchanged glances with the already registered Han Peng, and their faces immediately eased.

”Name, age, place of origin?”

Finally, it was Yang Ning’s turn. He glanced at Han Peng in the distance, then answered, ”Liu Ning, 32 years old, Jinshan Yinhe Valley, from Jinyang Village.”

”Liu Hu, 32 years old, Jinshan Town Yinhe Valley, from Jinyang Village.”

Li Hu was right behind him. The person recording at the city gate wrote down the information, noted down their appearances, and directly waved them into the city.

Over a hundred people quickly finished registering, all following Han Peng into the city.

Upon entering the city gate, Yang Ning immediately approached Han Peng, took out a fist-sized silver ingot from his bag, discreetly handed it over with a grateful expression, and whispered, ”Thank you, Old Han, for your help. A small token from Mr. Liu, please accept it.”

Han Peng silently accepted the silver ingot, showing no reaction but smiling softly, ”A trivial matter, not worth mentioning. You two must have difficulties you’d rather not speak about.”

Liu Ning and Liu Hu were, of course, not from Yinhe Valley.

These two joined the convoy halfway when traveling through the Chui Mountain Realm.

Before entering the city, Han Peng already noticed that these two were likely from Beishuo Town. Naturally, he wouldn’t offend them carelessly, especially since Liu Ning was so perceptive, as the silver ingot he just received was worth at least five hundred taels.

”Stop!”

”Stop right there!”

Having received the money, Han Peng was in a good mood and was about to speak when suddenly interrupted by a loud shout.

The area near the city gate was still relatively quiet due to the sparse crowd, so when the shout echoed, everyone immediately looked towards the source of the sound.

Three disheveled figures sprinted from the city center towards the city gate, weapons in hand, expressions extremely frantic, tipping over many vendors and pedestrians along the way, arousing curses from the surroundings and showing signs of chaos.

Behind the three, hundreds of soldiers in golden battle armor were chasing them. Although the soldiers had drawn longbows, crowded by pedestrians on the street, they dared not shoot and continued chasing behind the three.

”What’s happening?”

”Stealing? Doesn’t seem so, they’re empty-handed.”

”They are all soldiers at Cold Resistance Level, aren’t they from Great Xia’s Cloud Dragon Army?”

”Thousand Forged Thunder Kui Golden Armor, just like the hundred people at the gate, definitely.”

......

The people near the city gate, upon seeing the three fleeing towards them, had their eyes glimmer, none stepped forward to block, opting for retreat instead.

”Make way!”

Even Han Peng’s face turned slightly grim, quickly signaling for the convoy to get out of the way.

Han Peng had Peak Cold Resistance Cultivation, with Basic Strength at thirty-maned, immediately recognizing those fleeing in panic had abilities above his own, choosing promptly along with others to step aside.
