Zhang Yanshi led a group of seven people into Luoye City. The scene in front of them dazzled both Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian, who had never left the village to perform tasks.
The fair-skinned young man is better off. After all, he is dressed as a horse thief at this time. No matter how unseen the world is, he will not arouse people's suspicion. But as a captive fair-skinned girl, even if she quietly lifts one side of the curtain to take a look,
Eyes are also a luxury.
It has to be said that Luoye City is worthy of being the most powerful city in the southern part of Luo Yun Kingdom. No matter in terms of area or the prosperity of the city, it is not comparable to other forces.
The entire Luoye City has one hundred thousand residents, and its area is more than ten times that of Yinren Village. The area mentioned here is only the area where the villagers of Yinren Village gather within the walls of Luoye City. It does not refer to the two forces.
Territorial area.
In fact, regardless of Luoye City, Yinren Village or other forces, their territorial areas are not much different. However, except for Luoye City, the other forces have very limited development of the land within their territories.
A small village like Yinren Village with a small population has developed less than one thousandth of its territory. In other words, Yinren Village has a series of camps such as Liangchengang, Maple Leaf Forest, and Northern Camp. In fact, Yinren Village has a series of camps nearby.
Large areas of land are still in the state of primitive dense forests.
Of course, this situation is common in Luoye County. On the one hand, this county was established after the establishment of Luo Yun Kingdom and its population is sparse. On the other hand, it has something to do with the strange beast kings hidden in various parts of the county.
It is easy to understand. Unless the population is so large that there is no place to settle it, otherwise who would fight against a king of alien beasts who are above the chivalrous realm just for the sake of a primitive dense forest that has no value at all?
…
Although they were dressed like horse thieves, they were not that ostentatious. Besides, it was already approaching dusk and most of the pedestrians walking on the road were on their way, so they did not attract much attention.
Zhang Yanshi and Ma San were walking in front of the team. They were exchanging words in low voices. Ma Da Bangzi kept nodding and bowing, like a qualified master.
Soon a group of seven people came to an inn. After all, it was going to be night soon and they needed to find a place to stay.
As for whether to find Ji Rentu next or to explore Fan Yang's information, everyone needs to discuss it before deciding.
The name of the inn is "Jianghu Tavern", and the owner's surname is Zhang, because he is a very unique person.
This Jianghu tavern, as its name suggests, is mainly for Jianghu people. Staying here does not require any paperwork or even money like other inns.
Shopkeeper Zhang is a man with a story. Anyone who works in his shop can only drink a bowl of wine, and he will not sell any more. Anyone who wants to stay in his shop must also buy a bowl of wine, which is one less.
no.
Of course, this does not mean that this shopkeeper is a money-hungry man. If he meets a knight-errant who is in trouble and has no money, he can squeeze something. Even if there is nothing valuable to squeeze, a story about rivers and lakes can be told here.
I can exchange it for a bowl of wine.
"Are these guest officers top-notch, or are they staying in the hotel?" The shopkeeper looked at everyone dressed in horse thieves, and asked in a calm tone without any nervousness.
"Come to three bedrooms, one for three persons and two for two persons." Zhang Yanshi said calmly.
The shopkeeper named Zhang nodded and pointed at the sign at the door. He was obviously reminding everyone of the rules here.
Before the group came, Ma San told them about the rules here, and now they were no longer surprised.
"Then what kind of wine is there?" Yi Xifeng asked curiously when he heard that there was wine to drink.
The shopkeeper didn't explain much. He reached out and tapped on the wall behind him, where the wine list and price were written on it.
Burn a knife or two
Daughter red five taels
Drunken Spring Red twenty-five taels
Gujingfang one hundred and fifty taels
One thousand taels of sobering wine
Seeing this price, the group couldn't help but open their mouths.
"Are the prices in Luoye City so cruel? A bottle of wine costs one thousand taels!" Yi Xifeng couldn't help but complain.
Zhang Yanshi on the side explained helplessly: "This one thousand taels per altar is indeed a bit high. I think the one-two-a-jar burnt knife is quite good!"
The shopkeeper did not change his attitude because of their words. He still said slowly: "Three guest rooms, seven taels, seven altars for burning knives, seven taels! A total of fourteen taels."
Soon everyone gathered in the three-person room. Seeing seven jars of burning knives placed on the table, everyone was a little helpless. Although there were only one or two jars, it was still a bit expensive.
Yi Xifeng's own Qingxin Winery sells wine, and it's not just ordinary wine, but Qingxin wine soaked in herbs. But even so, it only costs twenty-five cents a pound.
Even if this jar of roasted knives weighs three kilograms, it is still more expensive than Qingxin wine. But its efficacy cannot be compared with Qingxin wine.
…
"The first step of our plan has been completed, which is to sneak into Luoye City. Next, we need to explore intelligence from various aspects." Zhang Yanshi said solemnly.
Yi Xifeng glanced at Ma San, who was blindfolded and with his acupuncture points sealed in the corner of the room. Obviously, Ma Da Bangzi couldn't hear the content of his discussion at this time.
"Captain Fan has entered Luoye City before, but lost contact soon. I think we can start from two aspects." Xia Mingfei, a round-faced young man, said aloud.
He was previously an intelligence officer selected by Zhao Yuntian, and his analysis of the situation was his specialty. At this time, Zhang Yanshi also wanted to hear what this former backbone of the intelligence team would think.
Xia Mingfei glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was focusing on him. After thinking for a moment, the man said:
"First of all, the clue Ma San cannot be cut off. We can try to contact Ji Rentu to see if we can get more useful information from him. On the other hand, Captain Fan only lost contact after entering the city. Even if Ji Rentu
Tu was involved, I think there must be other strength to help, so that he can kill a captain-level strongman without knowing what is going on."
Lu Huahua on the side nodded and said: "I basically agree with Ming Fei's opinion. There is only one thing I have some doubts about."
The short-haired girl and Zhang Yanshi looked at each other and nodded. Lu Huahua continued: "You said you want to contact Ji Rentu, how do you contact him? Then how do you get information?"
Xia Mingfei pointed at Ma San, who was squatting in the corner with his acupuncture points blocked and unable to move, and explained: "Actually, that guy from before helped us come up with a good method."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, the two people present said: "No!"
The speakers were none other than Yi Xifeng and Zhao Long!
The two looked at each other, and Zhao Long first denied: "This action is too dangerous. I think it needs to be discussed. Even if we really want to contact Ji Rentu, we should not let Xin Tian go. After all, she is the weakest among us.
"
Yi Xifeng nodded and added: "Moreover, we can't completely believe that Ma San is not guaranteed. When he meets Ji Rentu, he will bite us back!"
Having said this, the fair boy paused and said, "Remember when we entered the city before and met that armored guard? At that time, the old boy looked at the guard's demeanor, as if he was plotting against us."
