Compared with Daiyun City, Ningyang is much larger and more lively and prosperous. Even in the entire Ning Kingdom, Ningyang is a large city that can be ranked among the top five.
However, due to the approach of Fengjun, Ningyang is much more depressed than before. Many wealthy households in the city have moved away. The streets are deserted, and more than 50% of the shops are closed. Even during the day, there are not many shops to be seen.
pedestrian.
This is what Tang Yin and Cheng Jin saw when they entered Ningyang.
While walking and looking, Tang Yin laughed out loud and asked Cheng Jin beside him: "Cheng Jin, what did you see?"
Not understanding the meaning of his question, Cheng Jin shrugged and said, "Brother, I didn't see anything."
Ningyang is bigger than Daiyun City and has more shops, but half of the shops are closed.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "It is said that Ningyang is one of the main cities in Ningguo. Just looking at the rows of shops, it is not difficult to imagine how bustling it used to be. However, our army is only stationed in Hexi and has not yet reached Xiaoling County.
The fact that Ningyang has become so deserted shows that Ning people are cowardly! If they live in comfort for too long, people will become jealous of their lives, so even if Ning's national power is ten times that of ours, we can still conquer them."
Cheng Jin nodded thoughtfully and said, "What brother said makes sense."
"The county capital should be in the center of the city. Let's go and take a look."
"good!"
Tang Yin and Cheng Jin rode horses and walked slowly down the street. When they were about to approach the center of the city, they did not dare to go any further. Tang Yin's guess was correct, the county capital was indeed located in the middle of Ningyang, but
Outside the current county capital, there are many soldiers and armors, and they are heavily guarded. There is a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps. Groups of soldiers pass by a column in two or three minutes. These are the guards on the surface, and there are also hidden sentries that cannot be seen.
I’m not sure how many there are!
After just a cursory look, Tang Yin secretly shook his head. With such a tight guard, it was almost impossible to forcefully rush in. Even if he wanted to sneak in in disguise, he could not escape the insights of Ning Jun's spiritual cultivators.
Feeling that there was no chance of attacking from the front, Tang Yin quietly winked at Cheng Jin, signaling him to change direction and go around the side of the county capital.
The two rode horses and quickly entered the alleys on the streets to check the security on both sides and back of the county capital. The result disappointed Tang Yin. The security situation on the other three sides of the county capital was basically the same as that on the front. A large number of Nings were there.
The general's protection of the county capital was impeccable, and looking at the posture of Ning's soldiers, they looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Our side has not yet entered Xiaoling County, let alone Ningyang. Why is the Ning army so protective of Lin Han? Even to the point of abnormality. Finding no loopholes, the two had no choice but to leave. On the way, Cheng
Jin couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, frowned, and whispered: "Brother, there is something abnormal here!"
"Yeah, it's very abnormal!" Tang Yin also felt the same way.
Cheng Jin said: "The security in the county capital seems as if Lin Han has a premonition that someone will come to assassinate him."
That's right! Cheng Jin's casual words reminded Tang Yin. Thinking about it carefully, the county capital looked like it was facing a powerful enemy, as if someone had just assassinated Lin Han. He was sure that there was no assassination on his side. Could it be that,
Does Lin Han have enemies other than his own?
I couldn't tell that this peaceful Ningyang City still had many mysteries hidden in it. He smiled slightly and said, "It's useless to just guess. Cheng Jin, where do you think the information is the best?"
"Tavern, or teahouse!"
"That's right, let's find a tavern first and listen to the news while filling our stomachs."
"Okay! Big brother!"
The two of them were walking forward. Suddenly, their bodies were shaken together, and they felt vigilance and murderous intent in their hearts!
However, this strong murderous aura was not directed at the two of them, but had always been here. It was just that they had inadvertently walked in and sensed the presence of the murderous aura.
Tang Yin subconsciously turned his head and looked around. There was a large house on his left. This house was very close to the county capital and about the same size. The murderous aura he felt came from the house.
It's more of a murderous aura than a pressure, the spiritual pressure emitted by spiritual cultivators. You don't have to enter the house, you can tell just by the spiritual pressure emitted from the house. There are a large number of spiritual cultivators in the house, and there are many.
A leader with superb cultivation.
"Brother?"
Cheng Jin looked at Tang Yin, raised his arm, touched his waist, and made a gesture to draw the sword.
Tang Yin waved his hand at him, hinting him to calm down. He whispered slowly: "It's not our business, so don't cause trouble."
"Yes!" Cheng Jin agreed, and slowly lowered his raised hand.
The two of them pretended to be nonchalant and strutted past the house.
Just as they were about to pass the main entrance of the house, the door suddenly opened, and three middle-aged men walked out, blocking their way.
Tang Yin and Cheng Jin reined up their horses and looked at the three of them. All three of them were in their early forties, wearing simple green clothes and cloth shoes. They looked no different from ordinary people. However, even if Tang Yin could not use the skill of insight, Tang Yin
It can also be clearly felt that these three people are all spiritual cultivators, and they all have extremely profound cultivation abilities.
They were sizing each other up, and the other side was also sizing them up, and all three of them had brilliant eyes, releasing the power of insight.
Insight is a basic skill for spiritual cultivators, but it cannot be used casually. When one spiritual cultivator releases insight to another spiritual cultivator, it is like a maximum provocation, and the consequences are likely to lead to
A fight to the death on both sides.
Seeing the other party releasing his insight into him, Cheng Jin's face suddenly darkened. At the same time, black spiritual mist emitted from his body and surrounded his body, condensing without dissipating.
No one on the two sides spoke, but the atmosphere was extremely tense. At this time, Tang Yin seemed like an outsider. It felt funny. He was just passing by, and he didn't attract or provoke anyone. Trouble could always come to his door.
Just when they were looking at each other, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the middle of the three middle-aged people asked: "I wonder which sect these two dark friends are from? Why are you here at Qingyuntang?"
Are you here for the treasure?"
Tang Yin and Cheng Jin were confused. What was Qingyuntang and what kind of treasure? They had never heard of it.
The two looked at each other doubtfully, Tang Yin smiled and said nothing, Cheng Jin frowned and said: "We are not from any sect or sect, we are just hunters who make a living by hunting. As for your Qingyuntang, my two brothers have nothing to do with it."
I have heard of it, and I don’t know what treasure you are talking about. We are just passing by here. If you have nothing else to do, please give way."
"Huh, Orion? That's a nice thing to say! It's so difficult for you two to leave in such a big Ningyang. If you have to leave from here, I think you two have ulterior motives!" The middle-aged man on the left said with a sneer: "
Brother Liu, there is no need to talk nonsense with these two thieves, capture them before we talk!"
"Huh?" The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes waved his hand to stop his companion. His eyes swept over Cheng Jin and landed on Tang Yin.
It is rare for a spiritual cultivator to reach the spiritual realm, and it is even rarer to be a dark spiritual cultivator. Moreover, this young man has a handsome appearance and extraordinary aura. If he is said to be an Orion, of course he will not believe it, but since
The other party didn't express his intention to seize the treasure, so there was no need for him to make extra trouble.
He moved towards Tang Yin and Cheng Jingong and said, "Since you two are just passing by here, I'm sorry to bother you two!" After saying this, he pulled his two companions beside him and stepped aside.
Let Tang Yin and Cheng Jin pass.
The other party had retreated, and Cheng Jin did not want to stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time. He urged the horses to pass. At this time, Tang Yin, who had never spoken, suddenly asked: "I would like to ask, what treasures do you have in your house that make you like this?"
alert?"
The expressions of the three middle-aged men all changed. The one on the left scolded: "It has nothing to do with you, don't ask any more questions!"
The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes spoke in a much calmer tone. He said lightly: "Friends, if you two really don't know about this matter, it's best not to ask about it. Moreover, Ningyang is now a place of right and wrong. If you two
If you are really passing by, you should leave quickly."
The other party didn't want to say anything, and Tang Yin didn't force him. He shrugged, clasped his fists in return and said, "Thank you for your advice. I'll take my leave." After saying that, he stopped delaying and rode off.
The business in Ningyang City is very poor now, but the business of the restaurants and teahouses near this mansion is very prosperous and even overcrowded. What surprised Tang Yin and Cheng Jin was that there were basically no ordinary people in the taverns and teahouses. They were all
He is a spiritual cultivator, and he speaks with a very mixed accent. There are people from all over the world. Judging from his appearance, he is probably a ranger.
A large number of spiritual cultivators gathered in the house, and even more spiritual cultivators gathered outside the house. What kind of treasure would attract so many people?
Tang Yin and Cheng Jin were extremely curious.
The two of them wanted to find out some news in the restaurant, but they regretted it as soon as they entered the restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant was solemn and depressing, as if there was a huge stone hanging above their heads, making people unable to breathe.
The restaurant was almost full, no one was joking, no one was talking, and there was not even a sound of slurping while drinking. The huge space only gave people a feeling of silence, deathly silence.
Tang Yin was afraid of having a stomachache when eating in such a lifeless place. After the food arrived, he asked the waiter to pack it up. Then he and Cheng Jin left the restaurant with the packed food and wine and went to find an inn to rest.
Randomly finding an inn, Tang Yin specially chose a room facing the street. After the waiter left, he took out a small wooden sign from his luggage, opened the window, and hung it on the edge of the window.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this small wooden sign is very ordinary and nothing special. But if people with the eyes of the sky and the earth net see it, they will naturally come to the door.
Tang Yin couldn't get the news through normal channels, so he could only ask the Sky Eye and Earth Network spies hidden in Ningyang.
