Chapter 21 Searching for Pingyuan Town
Pingyuan Town
"Open the door! I need to go to the toilet!"
After a day and night of searching, Yi Wen and Fang Zhou completely gave up the idea of finding a way out of this iron house. There was really no way to get out except to smash it open.
"Are you treating me like a three-year-old? Hold it in!" the man in black said irritably when he heard Fang Zhou yelling in the iron house.
"My big name!" Fangzhou kicked the iron door and shouted.
"Pull your crotch!" The man in black picked up an empty wine jar and threw it towards the iron house and shouted.
The sound of the wine jar smashing against the house was amplified in the iron house, making the three of them tremble. After receiving the warning from the man in black, Ark stopped shouting.
When the man in black saw that Yi Wen and the others were silent, he turned around and walked out. After all, there was fighting outside the town before, and now after such a long time, he should be able to go out and inquire about the situation.
After taking to the street, the man in black felt that the street was slowly beginning to regain life, as if the war was over. Indeed, the motives outside the town could no longer be heard.
The man in black found a random tavern and sat down, casually asking the waiter for a bottle of wine and some appetizers.
Although he was in a tavern, there was no one in the tavern except for the man in black. It seemed that the war had just ended and the people in the town had not yet recovered.
Originally, he wanted to wait for a few customers to come over and inquire about what happened yesterday, but it seemed that there was no hope. The man in black had no choice but to focus on the waiter, although he didn't think that a waiter could know anything.
"Boy, come here! I want to ask you something." The man in black greeted casually.
When the waiter saw the man in black's arrogant attitude, he didn't want to go over. However, this was the first order of the day and he was pushed away by the shop owner.
Seeing the waiter's reluctance, the man in black took out some money and slapped it on the table and said, "Can I buy you some information?"
When the waiter saw that there was still money to be made, he fell out of favor faster than flipping through a book. The impatience on his face was not there before. He immediately nodded and bowed and said, "Hey, hey! Master, if you want to know anything, just ask."
The man in black sneered and asked, "What happened outside the town yesterday?"
In fact, what the man in black is interested in is not what is going on outside, but calculating when the buyer will come over. If the trouble continues, will he still make money?
"It's not just that group of thugs who are making trouble. They go around killing people and buying goods all day long under the banner of 'Gu'an will die and a new dynasty will be established'. At the beginning, they were just a group of small bandits at best, but later on, the number of people became more and more daring.
Attack some small towns. I heard that it was the Yufeng Kingdom that was responsible." The waiter in the shop spoke as if he had personally experienced the whole story.
"What about now?" The man in black was also attracted by what the waiter said.
continued to ask.
"What can a group of bandits do? Weren't they repelled by the reserve team of the Zhengwei camp?" the waiter said as he put the money in his arms.
"Then why is your store so deserted?" The man in black continued to ask after taking a bite of the side dish.
"It has been seventeen years since the current Holy One succeeded to the throne. During these seventeen years, except for minor frictions between the two countries, there has been no decent war. There has been no war for more than ten years, and now everyone is afraid of such a sudden commotion." The waiter in the shop said.
He sighed and said.
"Okay, I understand." The man in black left the money for the wine and picked up two jars of wine before walking towards his small courtyard.

Not far outside Pingyuan Town, two middle-aged men looked furtively towards Pingyuan Town.
"Lao Zhang, is it okay to go in now?" the skinny middle-aged man among them asked.
"Who knows! The beating was so fierce yesterday, didn't you see how many people died?" Lao Zhang said with lingering fear.
"But the other brothers should have searched all the towns near the village, and we are the only ones who haven't made any progress yet. If you don't have an explanation, be careful when you go back and the mountain will hammer you to death." The thin middle-aged man looked a little anxious.
"Who knows where these two little babies have gone, they might have been found." Lao Zhang said a little helplessly.
"Okay, okay, stop talking and hurry in! I think there's nothing going on now." The skinny middle-aged man patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder and then took the lead in getting on his horse and running towards Pingyuan Town.

On the main road of Pingyuan Town, a man and a woman wearing bamboo hats were walking leisurely on the street while holding horses. It can be seen that the two of them wore bamboo hats to keep a low profile. Even though they were wearing bamboo hats, it was still possible to tell how old they were.
Not big. But Pingyuan Town just experienced a war yesterday. There were not many people on the street yet, so the two people wearing bamboo hats were very conspicuous.
"My aunt, can you walk a little faster? You could have reached the village two days ago, but you haven't gone far even after a few days." Suddenly the man among them burst out as if he had endured it for a long time.
said.
As soon as the man finished speaking, the girl suddenly stood on the spot. Although the man in the bamboo hat could still feel the sharp gaze in the bamboo hat.
Suddenly, the girl stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar so fast that she didn't even have time to react.
"Zhu Qin, this bastard, didn't reply to my letter." Although the girl's voice was a little deformed due to anger, you could still tell that the original voice sounded very nice.
"In public! You..." The man felt a little embarrassed to be held up by his collar like this on the street. Although the man in the bamboo hat still looked angry through his face,
Got to be red.
"What am I? Wait until you can beat me one day and stop talking nonsense!" The girl snorted and threw away the man's collar and walked forward.
"Yo? Are you two starting to flirt now?" The girl was about to leave when she heard a joking voice.
The girl paused, then turned around and took two steps, then raised her foot and kicked towards the owner of the voice.
The accompanying man only felt a scent of fragrance blowing in front of him. He could only smell the scent but not see the person. The next second, the girl appeared in front of the owner of the voice.
But what surprised the man was that the girl's kick actually missed.
It wasn't because the owner of the voice dodged. Not only did the owner of the voice not dodge, he stood firmly on the spot, expecting that the woman couldn't kick him.
When the man looked carefully, he saw that the girl's foot was grasped by a skinny hand. If he didn't look carefully, he would have thought it was a skeleton hand.
"Lingyan, don't you recognize me?"
The girl known as Lingyan opened her bamboo hat, took a closer look at the owner of the voice, smiled sweetly, and called out sheepishly: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Cheng."
These two people are exactly the two middle-aged men who were outside Pingyuan Town before. They are also the two pillars of Liuyun Village. One is named Zhang He and the other is Cheng Shui.
After Lingyan opened his cloak, Cheng Shui let go of Lingyan's feet.
After seeing Lingyan's face, Zhang He and Chengshui couldn't help but admired: "Yan'er is really getting more and more beautiful as she grows, it's a shame!"
As the two said, Lingyan's face can be said to be a handicraft carefully crafted by God, and every bit of it is without slack.
Lingyan took off his hat, revealing his black and clear hair. The broken hair on his forehead was slightly tilted under the caress of the breeze. His eyes were as bright and attractive as diamonds. The perfect combination of his beautiful nose and jade teeth can be said to be...
God's finishing touch makes the already perfect face even more vivid. Such a perfect face chuckles in the wind, which makes people feel that the wind has become a bit frivolous at this time.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Cheng! And me and me!" The man looked at Zhang He and Cheng Shui expectantly after taking off his bamboo hat. He looked at the two of them expectantly, hoping that they would also praise him.
"Wei Li, it's time to shave." Zhang He curled his lips and said.
Although Zhang He's words were aimed at a man named Wei Li, Wei Li's skin was as smooth as a baby's, but he had been sleeping outdoors recently and had no time to take care of it. Wei Li, who usually pays more attention to his image, was choked, which attracted Lingyan.
Laughing endlessly on the sidelines.
Lingyan laughed for a while, took two deep breaths to calm down and asked, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Cheng, why did you come to Pingyuan Town?"
