Dark Fairy

Chapter 408 The Dark New Order
From the time they entered the city to now, which was less than a hundred feet long, Wen Ye and Zuo Ming saw no less than 30 people hurriedly walking around them, and they all looked at them.

"It seems that your judgment is correct. After taking off the badge and changing into another outfit, the people here will not stay away from us. At most, they will not dare to get close to us easily." Zuo Ming restrained his breath and let He looks like a monk in the middle to late stage of Qi-entraining realm.

"Uncle Master, you are exaggerating. These are just a little bit of cleverness, not worth mentioning. However, there are many more living people in Yongchuan City than we thought before, and they appear to be much more than those in the previous cities."

Along the way, Wen Ye and Zuo Ming visited several cities on the south bank of the Changshui River. The closest one was the former Shuangqing City.These cities were burned to the ground. Not only did the city walls collapse, but [-]% to [-]% of the houses in the city were also destroyed.And the scene in the city was terrible.It's not an exaggeration to say it's purgatory.

But even though the city is cruel and broken, there are still living people haunting it.Few of them are ordinary people, most of them are refugees, bandits, bandits, etc. who come in and want to get benefits from the ruins.There are even some thieves who look more organized.And this last one made Wen Ye and Zuo Ming immediately think of the word "anti-thief".Because every time the Yunyan disaster occurred in the Hong Dynasty, some people would choose to take advantage of the opportunity to rebel, and there was a trend of flowers blooming everywhere.This is not unfamiliar to Huangmen Yunzong at all.

So Wen Ye and Zuo Ming killed many people along the way.Anyone they think is a traitor will be killed.As for whether the killing was wrong or not, it didn't matter. They didn't have the mood or time to make more judgments.

However, after entering Yongchuan City, there seemed to be too many people inside.

And although the situation in the city was also severely damaged, there were no scenes like other cities where there were corpses everywhere and the city was full of stench.There are no snakes and rats running around everywhere.

He even carefully observed the ruins on the street and carefully sniffed the smell in the surrounding air.

"Someone spread potions in the city to kill the insects and rats. They also wanted to suppress the corpse poison and potential plague risks!" Zuo Ming quickly came to a conclusion.His eyebrows were raised slightly because of this, looking quite surprised.

This is obviously someone who deliberately renovated the ruins of Yongchuan City.And the results of the remediation look pretty good.At the same time, it also attracted many bandits and bandits.

It's just that Wen Ye and Zuo Ming didn't see anyone who looked like a rebel. They must have deliberately disguised themselves like them, and a small group was dispatched. It seemed that they couldn't tell their origins.

"Uncle Master, this city is unusual! Do you want to ask someone?"

"That's fine. Let's ask about the situation first."

So Wen Ye found a secluded corner, and then randomly grabbed someone from the small group of people rushing around. Without waiting for the other person to speak, he first stuffed a gold piece into the other person's hand.

"Don't scream, I want to ask you something."

When the man heard this and felt the thing in his hand again, he nodded repeatedly and stopped struggling. There was even a bit of excitement in his eyes.

After Wen Ye released his control over the other party, the man immediately nodded and bowed, holding the gold tablet in his hand and said, "Sir, if you have anything to ask, I will tell you everything I know!"

"Hmm? You're very good at talking? Have you studied?"

"Hehe, I went to school for two years, but before I finished elementary school, I followed my relatives at home and went racing."

"A person from Yongchuan City?"

"Yes, a native of Yongchuan City."

"What are you doing now?" The man took out a potato from his arms and said, "Come back to me, I am looking for some potatoes in the mountains. I came here to exchange for some cloth." . Several families in the mountains fled in a hurry and didn't bring much clothing. Now it's almost winter and it's extremely cold. I'm sure you can exchange this piece of gold for a lot of cloth and maybe even cotton."

Facing the other party's endless words, Wen Ye became a little impatient. He waved his hand and thought for a while before continuing to ask: "This place is not peaceful. How dare you take action casually with this golden piece? Are you not afraid of being robbed? "

"If you're not afraid, you won't be afraid in the city. When we leave the city, there are a few brave men from home to help us outside. They all have knives and know how to kill with several hands. Most people don't dare to take our ideas." This man said with a hint of emotion. confidence.It can be seen that this is not the first time to do this kind of thing.

"Tell me what you know about why this city is safe."

"Uncle, this city is close to the border of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a long river on the side, so water transportation is very convenient. Shortly after the barbarians left, I heard that a group of heroes from the Ming Dynasty came here, named Funiu Mountain. They moved outside the city. After the pier in the industrial park was renovated, it was used as a resting place and transit warehouse for entry and exit. After a long time, everyone came here to exchange things.

The rules in Funiu Mountain are strong. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Yongchuan City is going against them and will no longer do business in the future.So even if I have any grudges, I will keep them in the city.If you want to kill them, you have to wait until you leave the city before taking action. "

"What about the corpses in the city? Who dealt with them?"

"I heard that Funiu Shan took the lead and took the supplies to people who came to exchange them. They buried them on the spot and sprinkled them with potions. They said they were to prevent the plague."

At this point, Wen Ye and Zuo Ming also understood the reasons for these changes in Yongchuan City at this time.I also understood that Funiu Mountain should be a group of bandits from the Ming Kingdom in the east who crossed the border and came here to take advantage of the situation.Use the usually cheap food and cloth to exchange for the gold and silver money here.Yongchuan City is their entry point.

It is logical to make some arrangements for this foothold and create a "bazaar" for surrounding bandits, refugees, and bandits to gather and trade.

After writing down the three words "Funiu Mountain", Wen Ye asked again: "You said you are a native of Yongchuan City, but have you heard of Bailang?"

After Wen Ye finished speaking, he stared at the expression on the other person's face.

"Bai Lang? I know! Who doesn't know this man in Yongchuan City? He used to be the swordsman at the Dongcheng Sword Hall. People outside called him Cut Ear Lang and also called him Bai Tu. Later he became the deputy general of the army."

"Then have you heard about Bai Lang's whereabouts recently?"

"Ah? This" the man shook his head while thinking, and after a moment said: "I haven't heard of it. There are no people from before in Yongchuan City."

After asking some more questions, Wen Ye motioned for the man to leave.

"Uncle Master, do you think there's anything fishy?"

Zuo Ming shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it yet. But since this place is controlled by those people from Funiu Mountain, their information must be the most knowledgeable around Yongchuan City. If we want to find Bailang's whereabouts, we must go through many twists and turns. Don't drive them. Just need some disguise.

Do you think it would be awkward for us to exchange elixirs for spiritual stones? "

As they spoke, Wen Ye and Zuo Ming did not know that the man who had just asked questions freely in front of them disappeared from their sight and the "taken advantage of" expression on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a deep frown in thought.
