After a while.

The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Yu Chen was sitting in the first place, and a general was making a report.

"The guards of the treasure house were hit by Ecstasy. The treasure house was missing elixirs and a large amount of gold and silver. We still don't know how they did it. However, most of us chased them out at that time. If there is another

More than a hundred powerful robbers came in and used the powder to come and leave quickly. It was not impossible.

Also, the Fang family was almost crippled. Except for the ancestor of the Fang family who was not injured, one hundred and sixty-eight members of the Fang family were killed and the treasure house was looted.

City Lord, this is definitely not something that a group of robbers can do. Many robbers should have joined together. With so many robbers joining together, their purpose may not just be for the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion and the Fang family."

"You mean, they are really targeting the tributes?" Yu Chen's voice was as cold as ice slag.

"It's hard to say. Our question now is whether to double the number of people escorting the tributes? If not, the robbers may target the tributes. If they are doubled, the robbers may attack other aristocratic families in Lake City."

Yu Chen's face also looked extremely ugly. He pondered for a long time and said, "There is no room for loss in tribute."

"However, if something happens to Lake City, the city lord will also be held accountable by the Holy Spirit. Lake City is so big, I don't know how many robbers are hidden in it. City lord, please ask Xuanwei Army for help."

"But... without the imperial edict or the tiger talisman, the Xuanwei Army would not dare to send troops."

"Then there is only one way. Let the aristocratic families in Hucheng also contribute and organize their servants, as well as the martial arts halls and escort agencies in Hucheng, etc., to establish a temporary army to protect and pursue together with our army.

robbers, so that a part of the army can be allocated to escort the tribute."

Dawn.

After Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing washed up, they came to the restaurant. Nan Zhongxing was already sitting there having breakfast. When they saw the two people, they said:

"How did you sleep last night?"

Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing sat down. A servant brought them breakfast. Gu Shuo peeled the eggs and said:

"How is it possible to sleep well? There are shouts of killing everywhere. I don't know if the city lord killed all the robbers or let the robbers escape?"

Nan Zhongxing lowered his voice and said: "I received news that the Fang family was almost massacred last night, and the treasure house was looted. The treasure house of the city lord's palace was also robbed. Although many robbers were killed, the main robbers were

The character escaped."

"Hiss..." Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing gasped almost at the same time. After a while, Gu Shuo took a hard bite of the egg and said, "The robber is a god?"

"There must be, otherwise it would be impossible to escape."

"So much fun?" Shi Qingqing asked in surprise.

Nan Zhongxing sighed and said, "Chaos has arisen."

Gu Shuo's heart moved: "What do you mean?"

Nan Zhongxing sighed again and said: "Every ten years or decades, there are always people who rebel. Before the rebellion, it is natural to accumulate supplies. And where do the robbers get their supplies? Of course they rely on robbery.

This time I played so much, probably just to accumulate supplies for the rebellion.

You also know that those people from outside the world, after escaping, want to gain a foothold in this world, so naturally it is best to become the emperor of this world."

Gu Shuo's eyes flashed and he said: "My ancestors once said that our ancestors were also aliens from heaven."

"Yes!" Nan Zhongxing sighed: "But we have stayed here for too long, so long that we have forgotten it."

Gu Shuo frowned and said, "Is there really no way to leave here? Shopkeeper Nan, the two of us, brother and sister, came out this time just to find a way to leave this space.

It’s so oppressive to be here. Although I haven’t seen the so-called Tianwai, it must be much bigger than ours. Staying here is like being in prison.”

Nanzhong Bank said with emotion on his face: "Who says it's not true, but generations of people have worked hard and still haven't found a way out of here."

Gu Shuo's heart moved. It seemed that the people in this world had not given up looking for a way out of here.

"Can't you get out of the place where the aliens fell?"

"can not go out!"

Nan Zhongxing didn't explain much, and Gu Shuo believed it. He had personally experienced how strong the suction force was in that place. How could he get out?

"Is there no other place?"

"No!"

Gu Shuo thought for a while: "Or other dangerous places that are still unexplorable to this day?"

Nan Zhongxing glanced at him: "Then you should know."

"Should I know? Where?" Gu Shuo was shocked, but he still asked.

Suspicion flashed in Nan Zhongxing's eyes: "Banjie Mountain, haven't you heard of it?"

"Ah? You're talking about half of the mountain!" Gu Shuo pretended, "Isn't that a place of death?"

The suspicion in Nan Zhongxing's eyes dissipated and he sighed: "You are right in saying that it is a place of death. No one who entered the upper half came back. They should all be dead. If they find a way to leave, there is no way they will not come back."

Gu Shuo didn't dare to ask anymore. He almost exposed the secret just now and was fooled by himself. But now that he knew half of the mountain, he had a destination.

After thinking about it, I weighed it again in my mind. I felt that the secret would not be exposed, so I said, "I'm not talking about a death place like Banjie Mountain. Is there a mysterious place like that?"

Nanzhongxing shook his head decisively and said, "That's no more."

Then he added: "Our space is not very big to begin with. After thousands of years of exploration, we have already reached the edge. Apart from Banjie Mountain, there are no other mysterious and dangerous places."

"Margin!" Gu Shuo's heart moved: "What does margin look like?" "If we start from here, how long will it take to go to a margin?"

"I have never been to the edge. I just heard from hearsay that there is chaos beyond the edge. If you enter, you will die. From here to the edge, you will not be able to reach it in your lifetime."

The three of them chatted and ate. After breakfast, Nanzhong Bank went to work on business in the business. Gu Shuo and Shi Qingqing were ready to go out for a walk. After all, they had looted the treasure house of the city lord's palace and needed to go out to investigate.

The two people walked out of the house and walked on the street. They saw soldiers passing by on the street from time to time. The two people were also stopped for inspection. When they heard that they were from Nanji Trading Company, they saw two people wearing clothes.

Hua Hua let them both go.

"Brother, do you think those robbers will rob tribute?"

"Who knows!" Gu Shuo shook his head and said, "And we don't care either. I am very concerned about Banjie Mountain. Let's go buy a map."

Two people entered a shop, bought a map, and left the shop. Shi Qingqing asked:

"Brother, should we go directly to Banjie Mountain?"

"No, we can't just listen to the words of Nan Zhongxing and his family. We should go to Jingdu, which is the center of the human race. I think we can get more detailed information, and maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

"Then... when will we leave?"

"Let's wait until the city gate opens. We can't leave now even if we want to."

"How long do you have to wait?"

"It won't take long, three days at most. Lake City is a big city. If the city is closed for more than three days, there will be trouble."

"Brother, do you think that half of the mountain will be the way to leave?"

"I don't know, but I have to check it out."

"I feel that if there is a way out of this space, it must be in the middle of the mountain."

Gu Shuo put his hands behind his back and walked forward: "Why are you thinking so much? Just go and take a look and you will know."

Shi Qingqing pouted: "Brother, do you think I'm right?"

Gu Shuo glanced at her and said with a smile: "You have made a good judgment and are very smart."

Shi Qingqing's face turned red, with excitement in his eyes. He clasped his hands behind his back and jumped to follow Gu Shuo:

"Then why don't people here come out?"

Gu Shuo sighed softly: "Two reasons, one is that there is no way out of this space at all, and the other is that Banjie Mountain is very dangerous and there is a narrow escape from death."

When Shi Qingqing heard this, her heart sank, and both of them walked in silence.

The two of them wandered around for a while, and then soldiers came to inspect them. They felt bored and simply returned to Nanji Trading Company. They happened to run into Nanzhong Bank and were walking out.

"Shop Manager Nan is going out?"

"Well, I'm going to find out when the city will be opened."

"Then please tell me, Shopkeeper Nan, after I find out."

"What? Mr. Gu wants to leave?"

"Well, I want to go to Jingdu to see it."

"Have you never been to Jingdu?"

"No!"

"Then you have to go and have a look. Why don't you go as well?"

"Going together?"

"I went to find out when the city will be opened, also to transport goods to Jingdu."

"Shopkeeper Nan just came back and is leaving again?"

"There is no way, businessmen are suffering from running around."

"Well, my brother and sister will go with Shopkeeper Nan."
