Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

Chapter 169 Flushing, Chinatown!

The skyscrapers blocked out the sun and the sky. Even Li Jing, Hou Junji and others who had traveled through it several times were shocked by the scene.

They had been to Guangxi Province in 2020, but they did not go to the CBD area in the city center. They only saw some seven- or eight-story residential buildings in the community.

Nowadays, these skyscrapers hundreds of meters high give people a shocking feeling...

Among them, Changsun Wuji and the other two were the most shocked.

He opened his mouth wide and tilted his head back, looking at the skyscrapers reaching into the sky, his eyes were dull and he almost drooled.

Li Chengqian was also shocked because the place where they appeared was not far from the World Trade Center Twin Towers.

A plane crashed in an hour, and this was not a fun place.

"Withdraw~~"

At Li Jing's reminder, Changsun Wuji and the other two finally came to their senses. They looked back every few steps at the hustle and bustle of the street, and followed the large group walking on the street in a daze.

"Where are we going now?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "The plane building incident in half an hour will definitely cause unrest. When the time comes, we will go to the gun store to get the equipment and arm ourselves!"

“Buy for zero yuan?” Li Shimin asked puzzledly.

“It means not spending money on things.”

"Isn't that just robbery?"

Li Chengqian laughed: "So what? Anyway, we are now in an enemy country. We don't need to consider the social impact. We can just rob."

The plan was set, but Li Chengqian was unfamiliar with the unfamiliar metropolis of New York, so where could he find a gun store?

It would be nice if the NPC character of "Meeting an old friend in a foreign land" appeared again at this time.

As the saying goes, if you ask for a hammer, you will get a hammer.

As soon as Li Chengqian had this idea, a man with an oriental face pointed at the horse-faced skirts worn by Changsun Wuji and the other two.

"Are you from Long Country? This Hanfu is so beautiful!"

Familiar questions, familiar taste.

Li Chengqian said it was like playing a game.

I quickly stepped forward to take over the conversation and greet the NPC.

"Hello, hello. It's nice to meet an old friend in a foreign land. We just came here illegally. We lost contact with the human traffickers and are now homeless..."

The man pointed at Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong and said, "You are homeless. The gold chains around your necks will be enough for you to live for a long time."

Li Chengqian quickly changed the subject: "My name is Li Chengqian, what's your name, big brother?"

"Hello, I'm Chen Jiahao. How did you sneak in? How did you end up in Manhattan? Aren't most people faking marriages or entering the country from Canada or Mexico on tourist visas?"

Li Chengqian was a native of Fujian Province before he traveled through time, and knew some things about illegal immigrants in the 1990s.

"We traveled all the way from Mexico, but when we arrived in New York, the smuggler suddenly disappeared. Now we have no one to turn to. Can you help us, brother?"

Chen Jiahao nodded: "The snakehead is gone. Have you paid the money?"

Li Chengqian scratched his head, he didn't know how to answer this question.

"Forget it. My newly opened restaurant is hiring, but I only need three handymen and two cooks. There are so many of you..."

Li Chengqian quickly said: "It's okay, as long as we have a place to stay, we can go out and find a job ourselves."

The man who was watching him turned to look at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Old Cheng, take off the gold necklace and give it to him."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned: "What? I haven't even warmed it up yet and it's gone!!"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Hurry up."

Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips and took off the gold necklace reluctantly.

Now, his Upstarts suit is incomplete, without the suit attribute bonus...

Li Chengqian handed the gold necklace to Chen Jiahao: "Brother Chen, this is a small token of my appreciation. Thank you for your help."

At this time, Chen Jiahao also noticed the gun tucked behind Li Chengqian's waistband. Looking at the attire of Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, he seemed to have guessed something.

"You guys are not the snakehead's men!!"

Li Chengqian was also stunned!

How could one think that they were human snakeheads?

Is it just because of the way Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were dressed?

Or the gold necklace on your hand?

"Are you here to look for those people who didn't pay the balance after smuggling across the border some time ago?" Chen Jiahao asked again in surprise.

Li Chengqian was speechless. What the hell was going on?!

Just when he was racking his brains for how to answer, he didn't expect that this man named Chen Jiahao would openly accept the gold necklace.

"I know where they are, come on, I'll take you there!"

Li Chengqian was stunned again.

No, aren’t you betraying your compatriots?

"No, Brother Chen, we are not human smugglers, we are just ordinary illegal immigrants. Let's put it this way, I don't need your help. Just buy me a cell phone and activate an international long-distance calling card, and this gold necklace will be yours."

Chen Jiahao's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"That's great, come on, I'll help you open it now."

Having said that, Chen Jiahao took Li Chengqian and his party to the subway station again and took the subway to Flushing.

Flushing is another large Chinese community in Manhattan besides Chinatown.

The living facilities here are much better than the original Chinatown. There are people from Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and even from Frog Island and Korea.

It is a Chinese community that is larger than the Shinjuku community in Tokyo.

As you walk out of the subway station, you are greeted by a bustling street scene.

The streets are lined with signs in various traditional Chinese characters.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, blind massage, babysitting stations, Cantonese restaurants, martial arts schools, etc.

There are even pagoda bones for the gods in the Fujian Province parade and a lion dance hall for the Guangdong Province.

The cultural atmosphere is even richer than that of Dragon Country, and the traditional Chinese flavor is overwhelming.

Most of the pedestrians walking on the street are Chinese, some speak Cantonese, some speak Minnan dialect, and some speak Fuzhou dialect, Wenzhou dialect and other dialects.

Li Chengqian looked at the prosperity of the street and said, "See? This is Chinatown. In the name of the Tang Dynasty, Chinese people living abroad have a sense of belonging."

He turned to look at Li Shimin: "Your contribution is here, how about it, are you proud?"

Li Shimin stroked his beard and pretended to be calm: "Not bad, not bad..."

Li Jing and Hou Junji looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Zhang Sun Wuji and others also turned their heads. This guy is just pretending and there is no way to see through him!

It’s already Chinatown, and you can’t let others show off!

At this time, Chen Jiahao pointed to a store and said, "Come on, I'll take you to a store that specializes in selling international calling cards. It's owned by someone from Fujian Province."

Li Chengqian said inwardly, fellow countryman!

I don’t know whether they speak Minnan dialect or Fuzhou dialect.

"You guys wait here and don't wander around. I'll be back soon."

After giving instructions, Li Chengqian followed Chen Jiahao into the store.

This is a semi-basement shop with very dim light inside.

The sale of international calling cards that Chen Jiahao mentioned is clearly an underground industry and an illegal activity.
