The chaos that night caused great damage to Shangjing City. Jin Ruofeng was walking on the streets that were somewhat familiar to him, but he saw many shops with closed doors, and many of the doors had signs of the deceased hanging on them. Compared to the commercial district,
The area where the major aristocratic families were located was also in a mess. After so many days, the scene in front of us was still shocking.
Jin Ruofeng first found the Imperial Forge. Just as he had expected, there was no one in the Imperial Forge. The entire store seemed to have been evacuated. Even the underground forge was empty, as if it had never been there.
No one seems to be moving around here, only a few mice slinking around in the corners.
None of the familiar shops were open, and even those that were open were all bored, with no customers at all. Pedestrians on the street were all walking in a hurry, as if they were worried that the attack would come again.
"Ruofeng, look!" Following the direction pointed by Shi Mang, Jin Ruofeng saw seven or eight people holding knives and axes, slashing at a house. There were bursts of crying from inside, and there was no sound around them.
I couldn't see any soldiers maintaining order, but after thinking about it, the two main forces in the capital, the Tiger Guards and the Zhongwu Army, had all gone to Zhanyunguan. The Army and Horse Department in the city didn't have much strength at all, so they could only let it go.
These people are doing bad things.
"Scare them!" Jin Ruofeng shook his head slightly.
Shi Mang's sudden appearance shocked this group of people. In the past, a fourth-level warrior was nothing in Shangjing City, but now everyone is trying to protect their own safety. Maybe this guy is in a bad mood.
The gun cost me my life!
"Get out!" Shi Mang waved the spear in his hand. The spear, which Jin Ruofeng called a "flying spear," instantly flashed with starlight. This was a sign of the leakage of spiritual power.
Several people ran away in a hurry. Although the attack power of the earth element was not strong, he was a fourth-level warrior after all, and the attack was not something they could bear.
"Ruofeng, these ordinary people are so rampant, what about the warriors in the city?" Shi Mang was a little confused.
"The aristocratic families in the city were attacked, the five major universities were also devastated, and the Imperial Guards all left. There were not many warriors left, and they were probably recruited by most of the merchants in the city!" Jin Ruofeng pointed to a shop that was still open.
He said, "Have you seen it? Anyone who dares to open the door to do business now, if there are not a few warriors to guard the house, it will probably be robbed in the blink of an eye!"
"I haven't seen you for three months, it feels like a hundred years have passed in this world!" Shi Mang sighed.
"What do you two young masters need?" Jin Ruofeng stepped into a talisman shop, and a young man immediately came forward to solicit help.
Jin Ruofeng glanced at the shop. There was a second-level martial arts warrior sitting at the door. There was another martial arts warrior without any markings at the counter. There seemed to be another person in the corner. When the two came in, he glanced at it and then lowered his head to work.
It's his own business, and it's obvious that the other party is confident of winning in an emergency.
"War warrior!" Shi Mang whispered.
Jin Ruofeng didn't seem to hear it, he just laughed, and then walked around the shop, but he didn't see any talisman above the fourth grade. This was impossible before, but it was on the counter of the talisman.
, many neatly arranged.
"I want these things!" Jin Ruofeng handed a piece of paper in his hand to the boy.
The boy glanced at Jin Ruofeng with some confusion, but he didn't say anything. He just said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper to come out!", then turned around and went into the back, where the guy who seemed to be a warrior was
Shi raised his head, glanced at Jin Ruofeng and Shi Mang again, stood up slowly, and stood in front of the two of them across the counter.
None of the three people spoke, but the atmosphere in the entire store was not quite right, and it seemed that a battle was about to break out.
Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long. "Is this young man a sign master?" The shopkeeper came out quickly from behind. The goods on the note that the young man gave him just now were valuable. If he did this,
If you are a single business, you can close your business this month.
"Yes!" Jin Ruofeng nodded, "Do you have these things?"
"Yes, but it's not complete!" the shopkeeper said with some embarrassment.
"How incomplete is it? It can't be more than half, right?" Jin Ruofeng picked up the tea bowl at hand.
"That's not true, it's just that there are a few materials here that are not commonly used and need to be considered!"
"Let's do this. If I can get it all in three days, I will get it from you. If not, although the current situation is not good, there are still several open stores in the city!"
Jin Ruofeng signaled to Shi Mang, who snorted coldly, then took out a small bag from his arms and placed it on the table.
"This is a deposit! Shi Mang, let's go!"
Jin Ruofeng stood up and was about to leave. The shopkeeper hurriedly asked, "May I ask your surname?"
"Gold!" After saying that, the two of them left the store and disappeared into the deserted streets.
After the shopkeeper watched Jin Ruofeng and Shi Mang disappear, he immediately returned to the counter, picked up the small bag and took a look, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" The warrior who had been silent until now came up to him.
"High-grade aura stone?" The war warrior was also stunned. Although this thing is not too expensive in Shangjing City, the master who can take it out casually is not an ordinary family. This thing belongs to aristocratic families.
It is used to win over some warriors. Even he doesn't have a few in his hands. In fact, the number of high-grade spiritual stones in the entire shop does not exceed a hundred.
"What is the origin of this person named Jin?" The shopkeeper was a little confused. He had never heard of this person before, and he actually bought five high-level spiritual stones. Although if these spiritual stones were replaced with intermediate spiritual stones,
, it won’t be more than a thousand, but let alone the current situation, no one would do this even on ordinary days.
The warrior also shook his head and said, "I have never heard of any big clan named Jin in Shangjing City!"
"That's from out of town! It seems that the changes in the capital have made many people eager to try it!"
"Shopkeeper, what do you think of this deal?"
"Of course we do! Let's not mention that Jin paid such a high price. This transaction alone can make us feel comfortable for a while!" The shopkeeper looked at the list of materials on hand again, "It's just that it's true
There are some things we don't have here. Please take the trouble to go to a few stores and adjust them. We can make concessions on the price, but we can't let them know about the existence of this business!"
After Jin Ruofeng came out of the shop, he walked straight towards the Purple Garden outside the city, without the slightest worry about being watched behind him.
However, the Purple Garden is no longer the location of the previous academy. The entire ruined scene even shocked Jin Ruofeng. What kind of damage was caused by this force? The entire Purple Garden was destroyed. Looking from the direction of the remaining large archway, one can even see
Seeing that the mountains in the direction of Lingyun Hall were sunken, it was obvious that the entire Lingyun Hall had been completely destroyed, a level that even a high-level fire warrior like Qin Zhong could not reach!
Seeing the familiar place turned into ruins, Jin Ruofeng just sighed a few times. After all, he had seen many such scenes in Changfeng City, but he was a little sad that his academy career had ended like this.
"Ruofeng, there seems to be someone watching here!" Shi Mang saw a figure moving around the purple garden.
"It should be the Emperor's!" Jin Ruofeng couldn't figure out why the Emperor wanted to attack the Five Great Halls. Didn't he know that the Five Great Halls were almost the cornerstone of Zhongzhou. Once the Five Great Halls were destroyed, the entire Zhongzhou would fall into chaos, let alone
To say that he took the opportunity to attack various aristocratic families was an even worse move. Even his princess had escaped, so it is conceivable that there were almost no one around him.
However, Jin Ruofeng also knows that this kind of thing is not what he is worried about. Now the few people he is worried about are safe. Anyway, the tower will be opened in less than a year. By then, the situation in Zhongzhou will be very serious.
This is probably the only reason for the emperor to make the move he is doing. As long as these people who can enter the divine tower are eliminated, when the divine tower opens, the emperor will have a large number of people to enter it, and the world will still belong to him.
He can still hold the position of emperor for at least several decades.
Thinking of this, Jin Ruofeng looked at Shi Mang beside him. He had promised Shi Mang that he could let him enter the ranks of warriors. This promise must be fulfilled, but now there is less than a year before the opening of the sacred tower. This
Things must be planned in advance.
After Jin Ruofeng returned to Yufeng Villa, he happened to meet Qin Zhong who had just returned. Qin Zhong was also worried about losing contact with Zhanyunguan. However, after listening to Jin Ruofeng's introduction about the situation at Zhanyunguan, he relaxed slightly.
After all, without Song Kangtai's Zhongwu Army as an internal response, and with the assistance of Lin Xian's Tiger Guards, Lu Fengyuan would still be very confident in guarding Zhanyunguan. He knew how powerful Lu Fengyuan's power was.
"Zhanyunguan Pass is relatively safe, why did you come back?" Qin Zhong said somewhat reproachfully.
"I'm just looking for some things here. I'll go back to Changfeng City in a few days!" Jin Ruofeng told Qin Zhong of his plan.
After hearing this, Qin Zhong just frowned and said nothing. It seemed that the situation in Changfeng City was not optimistic. After all, the guard of Changfeng City was Huang Zhenyu, who was Qin Zhong's disciple. Since the emperor wanted to attack the five universities
If the museum starts to attack, they will definitely be wary of Huang Zhenyu.
"What's wrong? Chief coach, is there a problem in Changfeng City?"
Qin Zhong nodded: "Do you remember that when I reinforced Changfeng City, I brought 50,000 armored troops?"
"I know! It was those 50,000 armored troops who repelled the wasteland monsters!" Jin Ruofeng remembered this man very clearly.
"The emperor ordered 50,000 armored troops to return to the capital for reinforcements!" Qin Zhong's words shocked everyone present.
The return of the Iron Armored Army means that Changfeng City can only rely on the guards and garrison households to resist the raging monster attacks. Without many reinforcements, Changfeng City is very likely to suffer heavy losses.
