"Help the Lin family transport medicinal materials."
"When will you return?"
"Before dark."
…
At the gate of the city, two soldiers interrogated them carefully before letting Chen Che and Wang Zhen out of the city.
After leaving the city, they walked about a mile and came to a pavilion.
This is the place where several people from Langyatang have agreed to gather.
At this time, two people were already sitting in the pavilion, namely Du Peng and Lu Hui, another Qi and Blood Realm warrior from Langya Hall, and they were chatting.
Seeing Chen Che and Wang Zhen arriving, Du Peng asked casually: "Were you also interrogated when you left the city?"
"Well, it wasn't like this before. What happened recently?"
Wang Zhen answered while finding a place to sit down.
Du Peng chuckled and replied: "I heard that many ordinary people in the outer city have been tricked out of the city recently, so the city guards have strengthened their control."
"So that's it."
Wang Zhen nodded and said.
But Chen Che, who came with him, was paying attention to the weeds around the pavilion from beginning to end.
After getting the medicinal materials illustration a few days ago, he memorized all the external characteristics and effects of the hundreds of medicinal materials in the illustration in his mind through a high-pressure state.
Now that it was finally out of the city, he would definitely have to put it into practice.
After a while, he actually found a herb from the weeds beside the pavilion.
Although it is not a precious medicinal material, it is still worth some money.
His actions quickly attracted the attention of Du Peng and Lu Hui.
Just when Du Peng was about to ask, Zhao Tong and another Qi and Blood Realm warrior from Langya Hall also arrived.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhao Tong said directly: "Since everyone is here, let's set off."
Du Peng didn't ask any questions.
…
The six of them hurried along the official road outside the city.
On the way, Chen Che found some more medicinal herbs.
According to the current price, these herbs can be sold for five coins, which makes several other people in the same industry envious.
Zhao Tong asked curiously:
"Brother Chen, do you know these medicinal materials?"
"Let me give you a brief introduction. I have been taking medicine all year round, so I know a lot about it."
Chen Che replied humbly.
Zhao Tong laughed after hearing this.
"The relationship is good, and the Lin family actually issued a medicine-finding mission recently, but I thought that no one in Langya Hall is knowledgeable in pharmacology... I took the illustrated book and searched slowly, but the efficiency was too low, so I didn't take the mission.
But since Brother Chen, you understand pharmacology, we can take over this task.
Of course, if you really take on this mission, it will definitely be you, Brother Chen, and we can just drink some soup along with you."
"Haha, it is indeed a way to make money."
Chen Che did not refuse.
It is too expensive to buy medicine now. If he can organize a few people to search for it together and then recycle it from these people, he should be able to save a lot of money.
…
After walking for some distance, Chen Che found some more herbs, and the others also started pretending to look for them.
However, the good times did not last long. Before long, Du Peng suddenly exclaimed!
"What a fool!"
Hearing this exclamation, others looked at him in unison.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Tong said in a wary tone.
"Nothing, it's just two corpses, what a bad luck!"
Du Peng shook his hand with a look of disgust on his face.
Several people heard this and walked towards him.
I saw two withered corpses lying in the grass at his feet. They seemed to be a mother and her son, and the younger one was only seven or eight years old at most.
Seeing the miserable appearance of these two corpses, Chen Che's eyes narrowed.
Obviously, these two people were drained of their essence by evil spirits and died.
"They must have been tricked out of the city by others... Sigh, let's bury them when we come back after completing the mission. It will be considered a good deed."
Zhao Tong suggested.
The others had no objections.
Who among the gang members hasn’t done a few bad things?
If you do too many bad things, you have to do good deeds occasionally to find some psychological comfort.
And things like this are the most comforting and cost nothing.
"well……"
Chen Che had a hint of unbearability in his eyes.
The Chen family is also an orphan and a widower, so seeing the mother and son die tragically in the wilderness, he was particularly touched in his heart.
At the same time, he also knows very well why ordinary people are tricked out of the city...
It’s not because it’s extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive in the city.
Suppression from the government, oppression from gangs, and evil spirits...
In this kind of environment, it is a miracle that Stonefire City even exists.
"Actually, it wasn't like this before... In the past few years, the world has become more and more chaotic, and I don't know why."
Zhao Tong sighed.
As a middle-aged man, he has more experience than the others.
"I know this!"
Du Peng suddenly said.
"Oh? What's the reason?"
Everyone looked at him in unison.
Du Peng looked around, then deliberately lowered his voice.
"I heard this from a big shot in prison when I was in prison!"
Everyone became more curious after hearing this.
Du Peng said cautiously: "I heard that big shot say that the reason why Daxia became more and more chaotic can be traced back to ten years ago!
In that year, our Emperor of Great Xia was haunted by an extremely powerful evil spirit!
In order to get rid of the evil spirit, he listened to the treacherous slander and decided to build a luxurious palace entirely made of Lieyang Stone!
Think about it, how many Lieyang stones would be needed for a palace made of pure Lieyang stones?
And where do these blazing sun stones come from?
It’s not just recruiting from various states!
A small city like Stone Fire City has the most Sunstones handed over!
As soon as there are less of these blazing sun stones, the evil spirits will naturally become more and more rampant."
"I see!
Dog Emperor! So many people in Daxia died for the sake of one person’s safety! Damn it!
And the evil thief who gave him advice!
Damn it even more!"
Wang Zhen cursed angrily.
Hearing this, several people nearby were frightened.
"Be careful!"
"Brother Wang, be careful! If this is heard by others, it will be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!"
After hearing this, Wang Zhen knew that he had made a mistake and immediately shut up.
Chen Che was relatively calm.
He knows very well that the most indispensable thing in these troubled times is foolish kings and sycophants.
"Has his palace been built yet?
If it hasn’t been built yet, then our Stone Fire City will be finished sooner or later?”
Chen Che asked.
"I don't know, it should have been built.
In fact, there is no need to worry too much. I heard that people from the Jishi Alliance will come to our Stone Fire City some time ago. By then, they should be able to wipe out the people around them.
As long as the people around Stone Fire City are cleaned up, there won't be any major problems in Stone Fire City for at least ten years."
Du Peng said.
"Ji Shi Meng?"
Chen Che looked puzzled. He had never heard of this force.
Zhao Tong explained: "The Jishi Alliance was established by a group of big thieves. They gathered tens of thousands of people a few years ago, saying they wanted to overthrow Daxia on behalf of Tianxingdao.
The imperial court sent large armies to encircle and suppress the people several times, but they all returned in defeat.
But at the beginning of this year, Jishimeng was suddenly recruited by the imperial court, and is now responsible for the elimination of people and gangsters."
"Is the Jishi Alliance really coming?
I heard that the Jishi Alliance has seventy-two Tiangangs, and the weakest among them is no worse than the garrison generals of our Stone Fire City!"
When the Jishi Alliance was mentioned, the eyes of the other people were filled with reverence.
