Chapter 89 Captivity
Dongfeng City, this is one of the largest cities near Lushui County.
Putting Dabai in a forest far away from the city, the four of Wang Sheng walked to the gate of the city on foot.
Outside the city, there were many disheveled refugees. They were prevented from entering the city, but they were unwilling to leave.
The four of them looked at each other and seemed to confirm the rumors they had heard in the salt field, and then they were about to enter the city.
I thought that during the war, the inspection would be very strict, but in fact the management was very loose, and the four of them entered the city easily. Of course, the price was to spend some money.
To put it simply, the soldiers guarding the gates of the city didn't check at all, and they just gave money.
The interior of the city is not prosperous, but it is also popular, at least there are still people walking on the streets.
Big cities are different. As long as they are not the main areas of contention between the two sides of the war, they will be less affected than small villages and small towns, because the strength of cities will be much stronger, and they will not dare to plunder without any strength.
Of course, there is another possibility that after more than half a year, Shuzhou has stabilized.
But that's fine, if there is really no one, they will be troubled, this time they can come to inquire about the news.
After entering the city, several people found an inn, decided to meet up here, and went to their own business.
Wang Sheng naturally went to find a blacksmith shop.
He mainly wants to know what the blacksmith shop needs, tools, necessary facilities...everything needs to be learned, and he plans to build a blacksmithing place in the village for his own use.
However, before that, he went to a pharmacy first, exchanged some common ginseng for some silver, and finally cleared the way with the silver, and since he was not learning blacksmithing skills, the blacksmith explained in too much detail. He easily got what he wanted.
In short, Wang Sheng basically wrote down everything, and ordered a set of blacksmithing suits for the blacksmith to prepare, and then come to pick them up later.
After all these were done, he went to the confluence inn. Li Yongfeng and the others hadn't come back yet, so he went ahead and found a remote place to sit down and wait for someone.
There are not many people in the inn, but there are still some people who are talking about each other.
"The people outside the city are all from those three counties?"
"It should be, otherwise where are there so many people, those who should have escaped would have escaped long ago!"
"Sin, no one is going to deal with that scourge? Forever..."
"Shut up, don't you want to die? Don't you know why Wang Ermazi disappeared?"
One person interrupted the person who was speaking.
"...I hope it won't affect our Dongfeng City!"
...
The people in the entire inn couldn't escape Wang Sheng's ears, basically talking about two things.
How should the refugees outside the city and themselves survive.
Not long after, the three of Li Yongfeng also came back one after another, and soon they were all together.
Wang Sheng cut to the chase and asked, "What news did you all find out?"
Li Yongfeng spoke first, and said: "Just like what I asked in the salt field, the three counties of Lushui, Dieshui, and Yong'an are already under the control of the Qingjiao Gang. Many people have fled, but some towns and villages were directly taken Watch it, the people inside can’t get out at all.”
"Is it really like what the people in the salt field said, that they want to use all the people in the three counties as sacrifices?"
When I was in the salt field before, the person in charge said that people from the Qingjiao Gang had arrested people in the three counties more than half a year ago.
Now it is even more powerful, directly blocking the people of the three counties in their respective villages and towns, and there are people from the Qingjiao Gang patrolling all over the three counties.
The refugees outside Dongfeng City found opportunities to escape, and more people were found when they fled and were arrested.
"It's the same with what I heard over there. It seems that they sacrificed a few times half a year ago, but suddenly stopped, and then directly began to block the three counties."
"It is no secret that the members of the Qingjiao Gang enshrine an evil dragon. It is said that they want to sacrifice all the people in the three counties to an evil dragon. Some people say that the three counties have not escaped yet. People, in fact, were raised in captivity by members of the Evil Jiao and Qing Jiao Gang."
"..."
The three of Li Yongfeng told the news they had inquired about.
Generally speaking, the people in Lushui, Dieshui, and Yong'an counties seem to be kept in captivity, and will eventually be sacrificed to the evil dragon.
"What's the situation in Shuzhou? Does no one care about this evil dragon?"
"Shu Prefecture is now under the control of King Yongnian, and the former owner of Dongfeng City surrendered directly, so Dongfeng City has not suffered any damage..." The speaker was Wang Shuwen, and he said very softly, "As for the crusade, It is said that there was a ninth-rank martial artist who failed all five crusades before, and was killed by the evil dragon..."
"Couldn't a ninth-rank warrior be defeated?"
But it's normal to think about it carefully, the members of the Qingjiao Gang can become fifth or sixth-rank warriors if they enshrine the Evil Jiao.
It is estimated that at least it can be compared with the human master.
"As for Master Yongnian Wang who controls Shuzhou..." Wang Shuwen's voice was even lower, "I'm too busy to take care of myself now. It is said that I have been criticized for more than half a year, and there are still people attacking him. I can't draw any strength at all."
What Wang Shuwen inquired about was very simple, that is, King Yongnian was too busy to take care of himself, and it was impossible to send his master to deal with it.
To put it bluntly, let the people of the three counties fend for themselves!
Zhou Yong also continued to speak.
"Speaking of this, I thought it was fake before, but not necessarily now. I heard that a month later, the Qingjiao Gang will hold a sacrifice. I feel a little weird. It seems that someone deliberately spread it, so I don't care. Now I will Not necessarily..."
Wang Sheng knocked on the table listening to various news.
Evil dragon...... is it? Sacrifice by the people of the three counties
After talking for a while, everyone planned to leave.
"Our village is in Lushui County. This information is very useful. Let's go back first!"
I haven't come out for more than half a year, and I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The Qingjiao Gang controls the scope of three counties and raises everyone in captivity. The key is that no one will handle it.
Everyone felt a little heavy, and they simply packed up their things and prepared to leave. Wang Sheng went to get his blacksmithing suit, and then they left the city.
Dabai lay on his stomach at his original position in the forest, packed his things, and left directly.
On the way back, Dabai's speed was much slower because he had transported several thousand catties of salt.
But still return to Qingshan Village before dark.
Li Yongfeng and others went to the village chief to report the matter.
Wang Sheng found some people to help him build his blacksmith shop.
The bellows, sledgehammer and other things were directly used from the blacksmiths in Dongfeng City. They used silver to clear the way and "convinced" the blacksmiths easily. The most important thing was the iron stove.
It took almost a week to build this stove.
Then Wang Sheng started to work hard, forging iron.
After about half a month, he stopped.
Then there are two things in the hand that look like jet aircraft, about the size of a plate.
This is exactly the mechanism "Cloud Wing" in "Organ Essentials: Qinglong Chapter". Wang Sheng directly deleted the appearance of unnecessary wings to make it more compact, so it looks like an aircraft.
Of course, since it is made of ordinary iron, each one can only be used once.
"Go and test it first!"
If successful, some things can be done...
