Chapter 9: I'm here to eat chicken! (New Alliance Leader Phantom Feather Gree)
(Thank you Phantom Yu for your 100,000 yuan reward, everyone knows this local tyrant)
This is thousands of miles to Splitting Wind City, and the carriage keeps going.
Driving, driving, driving, driving, driving...... (I've found a way to update the 10,000 words)
There are no heroes to save the United States along the way, no robbers to rob the road, and it is boring and boring.
The crane in the cloud in the carriage had only one noun in his mind at this time: mind reading.
This should be the first golden finger he got after crossing over to this strange world?
The crane in the clouds has been studying this mind-reading technique for the past few days.
He found that the so-called mind reading technique is, to some extent, the analysis and judgment of micro-expressions, eyes, and mannerisms, rather than actually being able to read the other person's brain waves.
But this is already a very unnatural skill. He is able to magnify a person's micro-expressions and micro-eyes many times, slow down many times, and then make extremely complex calculations based on the person's personality, origin and other information, and finally get a very accurate answer.
And for some people who are not strong-willed, they can directly know what the other party is saying in their hearts through their mouths.
Once he began to read minds, it was as if he had entered the vision and spiritual world of Patient Sixteen.
It's just that his current level of mind reading is not as good as that of Patient Sixteen, because it is a real neurosis, and his whole soul and spirit are devoted to mind reading.
But even so, this mind-reading technique is also an extremely good golden finger for the crane in the clouds.
By the time he completely gets the mind reading of Psychopath No. 16, it should be another realm.
In addition, there are twenty-nine mentally ill patients in the entire X Psychiatric Hospital, does that mean that the talents of other patients have also been mixed into his body with the big bang?
It's just that now the crane in the cloud can only sense the special talent of the sixteenth person, and the remaining anti-heaven skills of the mentally ill seem to have not awakened.
..................
Five days later, the crane left the territory of the Great Win Empire and officially entered the Borderlands.
The Borderlands is huge, 500,000 square kilometers is equivalent to about two provinces, and the total population is nearly 10 million, which is completely equivalent to a small country.
And in this area, there are more than a dozen princes. The largest princely domains were more than 100,000 square kilometers, while the smallest was less than 1,000 square kilometers.
With a total population of nearly 400,000 square kilometers, Rift Valley is only ranked sixth in the Borderlands. However, its location is very important, stuck in a large valley, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not only a strategic military point, but also a trade center in the Borderlands.
Its main city, Crackwind City, is built in the valley and is a large natural military checkpoint.
The land in Splitwind City is very barren and has very little arable land, so the food production is very low, and it is completely self-sufficient. But the heavens have bestowed upon Windbreaker City a treasure, and that is the Salt Mine, an astronomical amount of salt mine.
Salt mines are not rare, but the vast majority of them are inedible or even poisonous. The salt mines in Rift Valley are completely top-notch, and they can be eaten with little to no processing, and the fine salt after a little processing is as white as snow, which is the best treasure for brushing teeth.
Today, the salt produced by Stormwind City each year supplies most of the borderlands, and is traded to the surrounding nations.
Therefore, Splitwind City can only rank sixth in the territory and population of the Borderlands, but in terms of wealth, it is one of the best.
............
The carriage went for three days!
The crane in the clouds came to the outside of Splitwind City.
This was different from what he had imagined, according to his original judgment, the Borderlands should be wild lands, so there would be no decent cities, either cottages or caves.
It turned out that was not the case at all, Splitwind was really a city, and it was quite a bustling city.
The city is located in a valley, so it has only two walls, the front and back, and the huge peaks on the left and right are its natural barriers.
There are nineteen lords under the jurisdiction of the entire city of Split, each ruled by nineteen chiefs. And the ruling center of the territory is the Splitting Wind City in front of you.
The entire Rift Valley has a population of 300,000, of which 100,000 are in this Rift City, because the city is built along the valley, so it is in the shape of a long strip. The length from north to south is more than ten miles, but the width from east to west is no more than three miles.
It was really better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and with just one glance, the crane in the clouds understood why the Great Win Empire would put the strategic focus of the Borderlands on Stormbreaker City.
As long as you get Windbreaker City, it is equivalent to stabbing a nail in the borderland, which can be attacked and defended.
The strategic value of the city in front of him is too great for the big win empire.
And the most eye-catching thing is the City Lord's Mansion on the mountain, high above, above the entire Splitting Wind City. It was an incomparably strong castle, almost worthy of a master's pass, and it was nearly a thousand acres.
The female devil in the well lives in the gorgeous castle on the mountain, and the scum heart of the crane in the clouds is ready to move.
He has harmed many people, but there is really no woman with such a powerful status and such a high status.
Just looking at the gorgeous castle, the crane in the clouds was worried.
Oh my God, in such a big castle, which room should I sleep in with the moon in the well?
The scenery on the left is good, and the feng shui on the right is good.
Alas, it was so hard for me.
The one who sent the crane in the clouds was a mute man, who had never spoken or had any expression, but his martial arts skills were very high.
Seeing Split Wind City at this time, the mute finally showed a slight expression, twitched slightly, and his eyes showed pain.
Clearly, the city left him with a sad past. Because of the big win empire, Black Dragon Terrace lost an unknown number of elites in this city.
Black Dragon Terrace's actions have always been invincible, and this Split Wind City is definitely the Waterloo of Black Dragon Terrace, the place of failure.
Yun Zhonghe looked at the gorgeous castle and said, "I heard that Jing Zhongyue has no husband and no boyfriend, it's a pity, I can't play my strengths, and I can't give away such a gorgeous hat, it's a pity." β
He sighed: "Alas, life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten." β
The mute next to him twitched again.
Yun Zhonghe quickly shut up, because he can read minds, and the other party wants to shoot him to death.
"Let's go, let's go into town!"
..................
The two of them easily entered the bustling Splitwind City, which was not well defended, at least on the surface, as it was a trading city after all.
But Yun Zhonghe knew that this was just a faΓ§ade, because he could feel that the moment he entered the city, dozens of pairs of eyes were condensed on his body.
The Great Win Empire can see the strategic value of Split Wind City, of course the Southern Zhou Empire can also see it, and other powerful countries can also see it, so I don't know how many national spies there are in this city, and even the other princes of the Borderlands don't know how many undercover agents have been put in this city.
It's a trader's paradise, it's a sea of spies, and of course maybe hell, because hundreds of Black Dragon Terrace's spies have died here.
Of course, the crane in the cloud didn't attract much attention when he entered the city, because he was inconspicuous and dressed as an old man.
The mute drove the carriage into the city with the crane in the clouds, and walked through the crowded streets.
It's too prosperous here, there are many people, horses, and cars, and you can enjoy the treatment of traffic jams here.
However, only the road on both sides is crowded, and the bluestone avenue in the middle is empty, and occasionally a gorgeous carriage goes away, but even if the two sides are crowded, no one dares to go to the middle road, because this is a privileged road, and only the carriage and horses with the banner of the city lord's mansion can take this privileged road in the middle.
This is of course an honor, and now there are less than a hundred Snake Order Flags issued by the City Lord's Mansion.
Originally, I thought that this borderless land must be a civilized desert, but I didn't expect that this place was actually the same as the cities of several empires, full of classes and powers.
The crane sitting in the carriage did not make a sound, quietly observing the city.
The Borderlands is perhaps the most sensitive place to the upcoming war between the two countries, as it is the center of the storm.
In just five miles, the crane in the cloud saw seven recruiting points.
It was clear that the Jing family, the owner of Rift Valley, had long smelled the smell of war, so they raced against time to expand their army and strengthen themselves.
The crane in the cloud leaned back slightly, and sighed in his heart: The city is very prosperous, but it will not be prosperous for long.
When war comes, all the prosperity here will be wiped out.
Whether it is the Southern Zhou Empire or the Great Win Empire, they have been preparing for this big war for decades.
The Great Win Empire adopted a conservative strategy and recuperated for this day.
The southward strategy of the Southern Zhou Empire, which constantly annexed the Southern Barbarian Tu tribe, was also to accumulate national strength and carry out this battle of national fortune.
The entire southern land of thousands of miles can only accommodate one overlord.
If the war starts, perhaps a million armies will pour into this borderland.
And the crane in the clouds is one of the many shadows laid before the battle of national fortune at this time, and it is about to carry out a life-and-death struggle without gunsmoke.
..................
Black Dragon Terrace has several secret strongholds in Split Wind City, and Anting Inn is one of them, it is not only an inn, but also a restaurant, and the fried chicken is very delicious, famous throughout Split Wind City.
The other day, it was officially activated.
In other words, now the entire Anting Inn is serving the crane in the clouds alone.
The first thing the crane in the clouds did when he entered Split Wind City was to go to the Anting Inn and connect with Xu Anting in Black Dragon Terrace.
From now on, Xu Anting is his only connector, and he is also the first comrade-in-arms of Yunzhonghe.
............
Almost passing through most of Split Wind City, the crane in the clouds finally came to the front of the Anting Inn.
It is said that this is still a prosperous area, and opposite the inn is a green building, called Chunmian Building.
"Uncle, come on!" a beautiful woman upstairs beckoned to the crane in the clouds.
The crane in the cloud paused for a moment with his legs, and he couldn't help but walk over. And hell, when he saw Qinglou, he actually had a feeling of going back to his parents' house.
Damn, this is definitely the sequelae of the body itself.
In case the Anting Inn is exposed and destroyed, he will not worry about the crane in the clouds without food, the opposite is a good place, the most important thing to be a man is to have a skill, so that he will not starve to death, the ancients did not deceive me.
The crane in the cloud continued to walk forward and walked towards the Anting Inn.
This inn is really not small, several courtyards, eating in front, staying in the back, it is estimated that there is a lot of money.
"Guest, are you eating or staying in a hotel?" a shop guy greeted him.
"Eat, is there fried chicken here?" asked Yun Zhonghe.
"Yes, yes, yes, our store's fried chicken is the most famous, and the guest officer will ask for a few catties and taels. The shopkeeper asked.
"Five catties, seven taels, three coins and four, seven and a half cooked!" said the crane in the clouds, this is the joint password.
"Got it, you come with me. "The shop is small and second, and then lead the way in front.
The crane followed him into the backyard, which was empty.
The shopkeeper opened a dry well and tapped it a few times, three long and two short.
Suddenly, a secret door appeared in the corner of the courtyard.
"Please! Boss Ann has been waiting for a long time. The shopkeeper said.
The crane in the cloud passed through the secret door, walked down the steps, and came to a basement, which was a little dark.
Just halfway through, the crane in the cloud suddenly changed his face, and he quickly walked back, about to rush out.
But the next second, a sharp knife was across his neck.
Then, a cold voice sounded: "Welcome, undercover agent of Black Dragon Terrace, welcome to throw yourself into the net and come to your death." β
The crane in the clouds said: "You ...... You're mistaken, I'm here to eat chicken, and this one's fried chicken is especially authentic. β
"Shh......h I am!" A charming fragrance entered his nose, and a woman's beautiful voice sounded in his ears, and he blew on it, and then said hoarsely: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, do you want to eat?"
The crane in the cloud said: "That...... Okay, let's eat!"
