Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows, thought for a while and said solemnly: "Unless he is someone who knows me well, he will not reveal the truth."
Mu Yun'an nodded. She had a bad feeling since they arrived in Fengdu, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Chengyi suddenly pulled her and squatted down.
Mu Yun'an stuck his head out and looked around, and was immediately startled. He saw a city gate standing not far in front of him.
The city gate was built against the mountain, and there were soldiers patrolling the city wall.
Mu Yunchu lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yi, are they too bold? They actually built a city here?"
This is the hinterland of Cangya Mountain, but in terms of hiding place, it is not particularly hidden. At least they found it easily.
Xiao Chengyi said: "Let's go back first."
He took Mu Yun'an away from here, returned to the city, and then found a house with no one to settle in.
Mu Yun'an asked: "What should we do now?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Wait."
His eyes darkened and his voice was deep: "It's not clear what the situation is in Cangya Mountain, but it's not difficult to tell from the tightness of the guards.
That should be where they mine iron ore and forge weapons. If it's just mining and forging, I'm afraid they'll raise troops there.
So now we just want to see the food and supplies they send to Cangya Mountain. From the food and salary they need, we can deduce how many people there are in Cangya Mountain."
Mu Yun'an understood what he meant. They always had to eat when mining in Cangya Mountain, and the supplies must be delivered outside.
As long as you find out the supplies they need, you can roughly deduce how many people there are in Cangya Mountain.
And the courtyard they chose is the only way to Cangya Mountain. As long as they stay here, they can always wait for the result they want.
The Palace of Fire.
Hong Lian has been waiting for Xiao Chengyi to appear since he captured Wen Qiyu, but he waited and waited but never saw Xiao Chengyi.
And her temper became more and more violent, and people in Yuhuo Palace were panicked.
In the main hall.
With a bang, Honglian broke the tea cup, and the maid serving tea beside her knelt on the ground in fear, trembling.
Qingcheng walked in, she looked at the mess on the ground and frowned, "Why is the palace master so angry?"
Honglian asked crazily: "Why? Why hasn't he come to see me yet? Has he forgotten me?"
She grabbed Qingcheng's arm and seemed not to be conscious.
Qingcheng was startled by her appearance, and she hurriedly said: "Palace Master, are you okay?"
Honglian laughed: "I will always find a way to make you show up and make you beg me."
She suppressed the smile on her face, her eyes suddenly turned cold and said: "Pass my order to arrest all the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city."
Qingcheng was shocked. She looked at Honglian and asked, "Palace Master, what are you going to do?"
Honglian walked to the chair step by step, turned around and sat down, looked at Qingcheng and said: "I have my own uses, you don't need to ask anymore."
Qingcheng frowned. She saw that Honglian's face was as cold as frost, as if she would lose her life if she said one more word.
She didn't dare to refute, so she could only turn around and retreat.
However, she did not carry out the palace master's order, but came to the prison where Wen Qiyu was being held, and saw Wen Qiyu having a meal, seemingly not worried about her situation at all.
She snorted coldly and said: "You really think you are a guest. It has been three days and the regent still has not shown up. It seems that your life is really not safe."
