A few days later, in a private room of an inn in the south of Lingyue City, a tall man in black attire was sitting at the table. He was tall, with thick eyebrows and small eyes, and a face full of flesh. He looked extremely fierce. The window of the private room was large.
When you open it, you can see the scene of people coming and going on the street. The wine table is filled with various kinds of meat. If you look closely, you will find that they are all pork side dishes. There is also a little monkey over one foot tall on the table.
Eating all kinds of food like crazy.
This big man was Lu Kun. After he and Xiao Jin left the valley, they rushed directly to Lingyue City. After entering through the south city gate, they entered the inn. At Xiao Jin's request, they took out a lot of wild boar meat for the people here.
The chef cooked and prepared this pork feast.
Lu Kun's appearance was completely different at this time. After completing the Vajra Art, he could temporarily change his facial muscles and change his face. When Lu Kun was experimenting on the road, he discovered that if he used the full assistance of his spiritual consciousness, he could maintain this change for a long time.
The same face, but the price is that the consciousness cannot be used.
There was a waiter beside him, who was telling Lu Kun vividly about this, and looking at the monkey on the table from time to time. Lu Kun looked at the flow of people outside the window, listened to the waiter's description, and learned the details of Ling Yuecheng.
Lingyue City is a medium-sized city located in the west of central Luzhou. The city itself does not have any special goods, but it is located in the transportation hub in the west of Luzhou. It is connected in all directions and has various official roads. There are also many medicinal herbs and minerals in the surrounding cities.
Grain, animal skins and other specialties.
Among them, to the south of Lingyue City are many towns with Huayuan City as the center. There are a large number of injured herbs. Some merchants from the Iron Fist Sect also have to pass through Lingyue City when transporting goods. To the southwest is the entrance to a huge mountain range. The mountains here
Continuously, with seemingly no end in sight, it is called the Lingming Mountains. As for why it is called this name, it is impossible to verify.
The southern part of the Lingming Mountains leads to the Luyang Mountains. There are a large number of ferocious beasts living in the Lingming Mountains. There are many mountain villages and small towns close to this mountain range. The villagers make a living by hunting these beasts, and then these
The skins and meat of wild beasts are sold to Lingyue City, and then transported to various places in Luzhou by Lingyue City's trading houses.
To the west of Lingyue City is one of the major mining industries in Luzhou, mainly iron ore and copper mines, which are controlled by several big families and the royal family of Wei State, and are all transported by hand arranged by these big families. As for the north
Most of the large area is composed of terraced hilly farmland. The township there is one of several grain producing areas in Luzhou. The grain transportation team will also pass through Lingyue City, and sometimes it will be sold directly in the city.
Therefore, whether they are caravans from other states in Wei or traders from the central city of Luzhou, they will all pass through Lingyue City. The prosperity of Lingyue City comes from these business travelers. There are so many inns, brothels, and casinos in the city, and the business is excellent. Of course, the biggest business is
For freight and warehousing business, due to the huge cargo throughput, there are several freight warehousing firms here. These firms have also built a small town in the east of the city specifically to handle these businesses.
After listening to the waiter's description, Lu Kun took out an ingot of five taels of silver and threw it on the table, saying, "As long as you answer the following questions satisfactorily, this ingot of silver will be yours!"
Looking at this silver ingot, which is equivalent to more than half of his annual income, the waiter's heart was pounding, and he became more articulate: "Uncle, I, Li Er, am famous for being well-informed about information in Lingyuecheng. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!"
"What forces are present in Lingyue City and how strong are they?" Lu Kun asked.
"Uncle, you have asked the right person. I grew up in this market and know these things best. There are three local forces in Lingyue City, one is the Five Poison Sect, one is the Qinglong Gang, and the other is the Black Tiger
Tang, as for strength, a few years ago, of course the Five Poison Sect was the dominant one, but I don’t know why, the strength of the Five Poison Sect has been greatly reduced recently, and the strength of the three families is now about the same."
After hearing this, Lu Kun frowned with his thick black eyebrows and asked: "You said local forces, are there also foreign forces?"
"Uncle, these three forces only control Lingyuecheng's inns, brothels, casinos, and some small animal skin and herbal medicine businesses. Those freight businesses are controlled by the big forces in the state capital. The Five Poison Sect and others have no way to interfere."
Lu Kun nodded. No wonder the Five Poison Sect wanted to attack the Iron Fist Sect, but would not attack the caravan entering Lingyue City. It turned out that the power of the state government was protecting it, so the Five Poison Sect had the idea to control the business of Huayuan City.
To enhance his strength, he then asked: "Where is the location of the Five Poison Sect?"
When the waiter heard this question, something strange flashed in his eyes. He paused and then said: "Uncle, the Five Poison Gate is at the end of the street in the south and west of the city. You can see it as long as you go there."
Lu Kun saw the expression on the waiter's face, sneered in his heart and said, "Take this ingot of silver!"
"Thank you, sir. I'll take my leave!" The waiter nodded and bowed while retreating.
Next, only Lu Kun was left in the box, staring blankly out of the window, and the little monkey who kept eating. After a while, the little monkey suddenly squeaked at Lu Kun a few times. After hearing this, Lu Kun
, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself: "It seems that this restaurant is the property of Wu Du Sect. No wonder the waiter looked strange when I asked where Wu Du Sect was!"
Then he said to the little monkey: "Xiao Jin, after eating, let's stay in an inn to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, I am here to find something, and it is not suitable to alert others."
"Squeak!"
"I just know how to eat. Don't worry, there is still a lot of wild boar meat. You should eat it. Let's go. We still have one afternoon to go around Lingyue City." Looking at the monkey trying to stuff food into his mouth,
However, Lu Kun knew that Xiao Jin ate this kind of higher-level meat in order to quickly increase his cultivation of the Vajra Art. It seemed that he wanted to find a way to hunt some more high-level monsters.
Xiao Jin listened to Lu Kun's words, laughed playfully, and jumped on his shoulders. Then the man and the monkey walked out of the box and went downstairs. When Lu Kun paid the bill and left the inn, there were two big men in gray outside the door.
They looked at each other and followed them furtively.
Lu Kun took Xiao Jin and slowly wandered down the street in the south of the city. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he turned around and walked to a dead end. He crossed his arms and not long after, two men in gray clothes
The big man came to the entrance of the alley and looked at Lu Kun as if he was waiting for them.
"Do you two have anything to ask me?"
One of the burly men with slightly darker skin felt a little uneasy and hesitated: "Brother, you have a strange face. As soon as you came to Lingyue City, you asked about the location of the Five Poison Sect. What is your purpose?"
"Old Wang, why are you being so polite? You can tell at a glance that this man is not very skilled. He happens to be in this dead end. Just take him back and torture him." The big man in gray clothes next to him was a little dissatisfied, and then he saw that Old Wang's face turned very serious.
Frightened, just as he was about to say something, he lost consciousness.
