The reappearance of the mirage undoubtedly attracted the attention of almost all the forces. The attention of the entire world was focused on Songhai, a coastal city.
However, ordinary small forces and small sects are definitely not qualified to participate in such a big event. God knows how many spies and killers squatting around Sanghai are enough to dissuade them.
Those who really dare to get involved here have to be the top sects among the hundreds of scholars, as well as the few remaining forces from the Six Nations.
The only exception is the farmer's family. They are currently busy fighting within the six halls and really can't care about the outside world.
As for the people living in the city, the appearance of mirages is not that important.
I have seen it once, and my fresh energy has been vented once. Not many people will go to watch the boat in a daze.
But it doesn’t mean that no one is interested at all – aren’t there still outsiders?
Attracted by the mirage, a large number of people poured into Songhai. These guests who came from afar were still full of novelty!
At the same time, due to the increase in the foreign population, Songhai City's business has also prospered a lot, especially restaurants, inns, street stalls, etc., all of which are booming.
In a sense, it can be regarded as the development of tourism in the Qin Dynasty.
However, in this era, the vast majority of the people are still in a state of digging into the soil all year round. Those who are truly capable and have the capital to wander around are a minority among the minority, and even most of the lower-class scholars are
No.
Therefore, although there are a lot more people in Songhai City, they are not as dense as the tourist attractions in later generations during the peak tourist season, where they are all crowded with people at a glance.
And because...let's count it as tourism, because of the temporary prosperity of tourism, people's incomes increased a lot, and Fusu ordered Mengtian to weaken the sea ban, which restored Songhai's fishing industry to a certain extent.
During this period, the people of Songhai City seemed to be living and working in peace and contentment.
People who were previously frightened by various legends and anecdotes about windless waves, fairy mountains on the sea, and ghosts and fairies at night have also calmed down again.
Songhai City seems to have become a peaceful place.
Of course, this is just an appearance, there is quite a bit of turmoil behind the scenes.
But it doesn’t matter, Fusu’s request to Meng Tian, or the empire’s request to the current situation in Songhai, is this - it can be chaotic in secret, but it must be calm on the surface.
It should be said that Meng Tian was originally working towards this goal, but after Fusu came, he changed his tough strategy.
………………
On the outskirts of Songhai City, two figures walked side by side on a path in the dense forest.
"I said, you should be willing to say a few more words along the way! It's too boring for just the two of us!"
Tian Heng carried his spear and glanced sideways at Chen He who was traveling with him, with a look of boredom and helplessness on his face.
After the Battle of Guancheng, Chen He was a little disappointed with the Mohist family's performance in the Battle of Guancheng. In addition, he did not like the excitement and was used to walking alone, so he did not go with any anti-Qin forces, including the Mohist family, and left alone.
.
However, he was not completely disappointed with the anti-Qin alliance because of this. He simply gave up his hard-earned determination and still had a certain willingness to get close, so he also came to Songhai.
On the way, he met Tian Heng who had missed the trip for various reasons - in fact, Tian Heng came to see him specially. After some hard work from the other party, Chen He finally acquiesced in Tian Heng's companionship.
However, Tian Heng has a lively and cheerful temperament, while Chen He is boring and old-fashioned. The communication between the two is naturally...not smooth.
However, the relationship between the two of them is going well.
Chen He has always been very tolerant of people with good skills. Tian Heng is not bad in strength, and he has not taken advantage of his elder brother to become a lobbyist, so Chen He does not care about his croaking.
Tian Heng, on the other hand, is straightforward and generous, and has a high innate affinity for Chen He, who is also from the Tian-Chen clan, so he doesn't care much about Chen He's neglect.
In fact, if Tian Heng's eldest brother Tian Dan and second brother Tian Rong were not separated between them, the relationship between the two would probably be closer - Chen He really didn't like his two ambitious brothers.
It's not because Tian Dan and the others are now thinking about how to create a rebellion in the empire, but because they had careful thoughts under King Jian of Qi before the Qi Kingdom was destroyed.
At this time, Chen He did not respond at all to Tian Heng's daily complaints.
These days, the other party has complained like this a dozen times or even dozens of times every day. He used to be willing to give him a look of disgust, but now he doesn't even bother to turn his head.
Tian Heng is used to this, but he can never stop talking, "It's boring! It's boring! You said your life is too boring..."
Tian Heng's voice stopped suddenly, and the two of them stopped walking together and stood in front of a suspended trestle.
Below the bridge is a deep gorge of unknown height, and on the opposite side of the bridge is a tall, dark-skinned man, carrying a huge sword like a door panel on his shoulder, sitting on a wooden stake at the head of the bridge, looking sideways.
Staring at them both brightly.
The person's appearance is very distinctive, and the length of the sword is even more distinctive. Of course, Tian Heng recognized the muscular black man on the other side of the bridge at the first sight.
The former peasant traitor, now the empire's lackey, holds the twelfth-ranked sword in Juque's Shengqi!
Although it was a secret that the empire released Sheng Qi to deal with Gai Nie, after he chased Gai Nie several times and exposed his whereabouts, the major forces basically guessed his situation.
Over the years, no one who has entered the Tooth-gnawing Prison can come out!
Just because you win seven can get out? If you could get out, you wouldn't have been imprisoned for so long!
It’s obvious that the empire deliberately released it to bite people.
Many people despised Shengqi because of this. It was good that you were captured by Gai Nie, but that was also an order from the empire. When you found an opportunity to come out, you didn't go to the empire first. What's the point of just chasing Gai Nie who took care of the child?
Ability!
No one doubts that he was coerced by the empire - how coerced? Shengqi is a loner, has no weaknesses, and is a former farmer's disciple. He is invulnerable to all kinds of poisons and cannot use any means.
Nowadays, there are rumors in the world that Gai Nie may have also come to Songhai. In this case, it is normal for Shengqi to pursue him.
However, it is indeed surprising to meet so coincidentally outside the city.
Cang!
"Hey! Isn't this the famous 'Black Swordsman' Mr. Shengqi? What a coincidence!" Tian Heng looked at the big man opposite, grinning, and the spear in his hand made a beautiful sparkle in the air, the tip of the spear
He hit the ground hard with his finger.
Chen He on the side didn't say anything, nor did he show Tian Heng's smile. He just narrowed his eyes, obviously also very interested in Sheng Qi - after being locked up in Tooth Prison for so many years, Chen He really wanted to see this person.
A jailbreak master who worked many years ago still has some abilities now.
Shengqi also noticed that the two of them seemed to be restless. He twisted his neck and stood up neatly. He smashed the huge sword in his hand directly to the ground and blocked the bridge with his sword.
Want to fight?
That would be great, he could not ask for it more!
