Whoever kidnapped Codien has nothing to do with Li Yinguang. He wasn't the kidnapper anyway.
After the housekeeper Goda left, Li Yinguang looked at Gu Liyan and asked curiously: "In the town of Manbach, are there many things that the public doesn't know about?"
Gu Liyan handed the bowl to Xue Niang, indicating that she could have another bowl. The dinner was indeed more appetizing, and said calmly: "What do you think?"
Li Yinguang shrugged and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, otherwise I can ask you for advice?"
Gu Liyan said calmly: "It has only been one hundred and fifty or sixty years since the town of Manbach was founded. The current 'Lord Manbach' is the third generation, and the Manbach family is also because of Manbach."
The town rose and prospered. Although the Manbach town area is located on the border and has ordinary terrain, it can be regarded as a peaceful place.
There is a "snowy wasteland" as a natural barrier to the north, hills and forests to the east, and fertile soil to the south. The three thousand kilometers of territory is not vast, but it is enough to support the long-term development of the town of Manbach and the Manbach family.
In the town of Manbach, no one wants stability and long-term peace here more than the Manbach family.
In the past hundred years, the Manbach family has achieved steady development and accumulated a lot of wealth, until the current generation of Lord Manbach."
At this point, Gu Liyan paused, feeling a little lost in interest and not wanting to go on.
Li Yinguang smiled and asked: "How is Lord Manbach doing now?"
Gu Liyan glanced at him, hesitated, and said calmly: "This generation of Lord Manbach is very ambitious and has begun to be unwilling to accept the status quo. It is trying to change the inherent pattern, whether it is facing the oppression of the big lord above or facing the snow in the north.
All races in the wasteland hope to expand their territories in the long run.
Therefore, twenty years ago, the ‘captive breeding’ policy was implemented! Everyone from high-ranking officials and nobles to the poorest classes became the ‘captive’ population of the Manbach family.”
Li Yinguang was stunned when he heard this. He touched his nose and muttered: "Why does it sound like Lord Manbach is playing a big, big chess game?"
Gu Liyan smiled and shook his head: "To you, maybe it's not even a piece on someone else's chessboard. I'm just telling you this to relax your mind. Manbach Town is not as dangerous as you think. Of course,
It’s definitely not as safe as you think!”
Li Yinguang asked with a dry smile: "Then should we stay in Manbach Town for a long time, or should we leave quickly?"
Gu Liyan shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether you leave or not. When it develops to the point where it can influence the environment and structure of Manbach Town, someone will naturally come out to talk to you about whether to stay or leave."
You can tell from their words that they are just insignificant people in the town of Manbach.
The wind was strong at night, the snow had stopped, but the wind was very strong.
The man under the bamboo hat stood on a commanding height in Manbach Town, overlooking the whole town, standing quietly, not affected by the cold wind at all.
After a long time, he muttered to himself: "Where will he run to?"
He was looking for the corpse girl. The weird corpses in the town had basically been controlled, and the 'corpse cave' had returned to its previous order, but the corpse girl was nowhere to be found.
Based on the aura on the corpse girl's body, it stands to reason that no matter where she hides in the town, it would not be difficult to find her, but at this time, he has no way to lock on to her aura.
"Corpse Keeper, the lord wants to summon you, go quickly!"
The man in the bamboo hat didn't look at the figure coming and going behind him. He had a strange figure under the raincoat and stood there without moving at all. It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that he slowly let out a breath.
"hateful!"
He muttered something to himself, then, like a black phantom, he teleported from a high point to the ground and disappeared towards the direction of the lord.
After the man in the bamboo hat and coir raincoat had left for half a cup of tea, a blue-gray figure emerged from the snow not far away, squatting on the ground, as if he was thinking or waiting for something.
After probably a long time, I slowly stood up!
After identifying the direction, he ran towards the slums in the north of the town.
Outside the town, a charcoal fire was burning in a simple shack. Dozens of people in ragged clothes gathered around to keep warm. The rhizomes of 'Sweet Grass Vine' were boiling in a large pot. In addition, there were two large pieces of meat, which were sweet and fragrant.
The smell wafts in the air.
There were a number of excavation machinery and equipment parked behind him, and several people with weapons were standing guard.
This temporary camp belongs to refugees from the slums, who are all coolie laborers who have signed a contract with the "Manbach Town Tabloid".
People who voluntarily promise to come and work!
Although it is not safe to stay in the town of Manbach, there is a place to stay warm and have a good meal.
"Brother Changsheng, are we just going to stay here and work hard for others?"
"I'm really unwilling. Why don't we run away? Anyway, we have a guy in our hands. We can go out to find a village and survive hunting. Why do we have to stay here and suffer?"
The middle-aged man in the middle, whose surname is Song and whose nickname is Changsheng, is the leader of this group and the person who took the lead in coming to the city to work outside the city today.
Changsheng said: "Run? Where to run? It's freezing cold, let alone how far you can run. Even if you run away with weapons, do you think you can survive alone in the wilderness? They put us here, just
You are not afraid of us running away at all. How much is the guy in your hand worth?
Today I can give you a bowl of rice, not because I need you very much, but out of pity. I don't want to watch us starve to death and freeze to death. This is a kindness.
I want to repay my kindness, so you are welcome. Instead of thinking about how to work well, you just start running together.
I won't stop those who are willing to leave, but the thing in my hand must be left for my brothers. If you want to live, we also want to live. It's freezing outside, and we have to defend ourselves against wild beasts. We can't let you take away the weapons!
"
Song Changsheng had a cold face and did not give a good look to those who encouraged them to escape. He could not stop these people from escaping in private, but he could not take away the weapons purchased by the small newspaper office in Manbach Town.
The few people who just said they were going to run looked at each other, looked at each other, and smiled dryly without daring to say anything. Even if there were mechanical vehicles, they might not be able to run very far.
"It's good to have food and drink. As a human being, you must be content!"
After saying that, Song Changsheng took a knife to take out the meat from the pot, chopped it on the stone, tried to cut each person into one piece, and got a bowl of soup from the pot.
After eating and drinking enough, we got into the camp, put on our clothes and lay down.
He closed his eyes and said: "Don't forget to replace the brothers who are keeping watch at night. Everyone should go to bed early and get up early to work tomorrow!"
Seeing this sobering up, a few people gathered together, muttering in low voices and not knowing what they were talking about.
Jiaxiuchuan, who was standing on the mountainside, had been staring at the group of people below for some time. He hoped that Codien could transport the 'Snow Red Beast' before tonight, but obviously his
