Chapter 218: Who Are You?

*Say yes update*

As early as when the Jingtang Dynasty had not yet opened the country, the evil spirit city was not called this name, because the terrain in the city was complex, and the organs were heavy, originally formed a defensive barrier in the north together with the northern region city, until the ancestors of the Jingtang people went out of the north to seize the Central Plains and created the Jingtang River, this barrier was gradually forgotten.

One of the reasons why the Evil Spirit City has been formed in the north for many years, and one of the reasons why the northern state government has not controlled it and does not send troops to kill it is that the people in this city are bloodthirsty and maniacs, which are very difficult to deal with, and they will lose a large number of northern soldiers every time.

The second reason is that this city is on the northern border, which happens to be a difficult barrier between the northern border and the northern city, so that the northern border does not need to be guarded by officers and soldiers, only these fanatics can be used.

The imperial court deliberately allowed these people to isolate the northern border and secretly reached an agreement. Only mineral transport and exile parties with Imperial Pass can pass through this area.

The people of Evil Spirit City have always followed this rule, and they ignore these two teams. But the rest of the procession, whether it was passing by, doing business, or fleeing, could not pass lightly.

Of course, most of the people who fled only had two fates, one was to stay in the city of evil spirits and become one of them, and the other was to die without a corpse.

However, this rule, which has been maintained for decades, has been gradually broken recently. Many of the official teams in the city of Evil Spirits were also attacked, while some of the teams and displaced people who had fled to the north were not attacked, and the minerals had not been transported since last month.

The capital of the northern state died inexplicably. The Evil Spirit City has also changed, and at this time, another king of the Northern Realm has emerged, although the road ahead can avoid the pursuit of Jingtang soldiers. But it is also very difficult.

Zhirong on horseback couldn't help but think that his team was also a fugitive army, how could he get through Guò Evil Spirit City? Looking at the continuous mountains, the air on the mountains is extremely cold this season, and most of the Shen family's families in this team are old and weak, women and children, and it is already a little difficult to walk the road to the plains, not to mention that they will freeze to death before they cross the mountains.

She had promised all her men that they would take them to the North. And will not abandon any old and weak women and children. This is her responsibility as the head of the family and the commander of the army.

"Master of the house, we can pretend to be a fugitive team and pretend to take refuge in the city of evil spirits. It is not impossible to wait until their guards are lax and then go out of the city, and we may not be able to capture the Evil Spirit City in one fell swoop, and raise the power of our Shen family's army. ”

Sheng Hongyu told Zhirong about her thoughts, and she was quite proud of it. She thinks Zhirong has been too careful along the way. has no demeanor of the head of the family at all, if she is replaced, she will definitely fight all the way, and the name of the Shen family army will definitely resound in the north.

In Zhirong, this has never been the best strategy, if it alarms the people in the city, the young and strong can be killed, but what about those old and weak women and children? Zhirong didn't want to be hit hard by the Shen family army before he really entered the northern border.

Moreover, they don't know anything about the situation in the city, and they can only be sent to death if they enter, and as the head of the family, they are not only to establish merit, but more importantly, to protect the clansmen.

"Master, there is something very strange. Since the king of the northern realm dares to call himself king, has he already taken the evil spirit city? Otherwise, how could his people come and go freely? Jin Shi raised his own questions.

Shen Qing smiled evilly and looked ahead. From time to time, he plays with the sword spike in his hand. "That's not necessarily, the martial arts of that small group of people are all excellent, even if I and Shen Heng can't kill them. It shouldn't be difficult to get in and out of Evil Spirit City with their martial arts. It's just that the King of the North probably won't be satisfied with being trapped in the North. ”

The last sentence made Zhirong's mind suddenly clear, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, Shen Qing was right, the king of the northern realm would definitely not be willing to be trapped, but he had not occupied the evil spirit city for a long time, as Jin Shi said, it must not be that he dared to be the king, so he was waiting for the opportunity.

And at this time, she remembered that the army of more than 20,000 people in her hands was not impossible to defeat if she really broke through, but at the same time, she also made a wedding dress for others.

What a king of the northern realm, there is really no gift in the world that you receive in vain, with a bottle of lotus juice, do you want my Shen Jiajun to work for you. She motioned for the line to stop.

"Our team is too conspicuous, and now the evil spirit city lord must have known the news that my Shen family's army is going to cross the northern border. It's better to go to a dozen people to inquire about the news first. General Shen, you, Jiang Cheng, Hongyu, and the three elders took the soldiers to camp at the foot of the mountain, and they must not act rashly, wait for our signal, and if there is no signal tomorrow, they will lead people up the mountain and walk from the mountain road. ”

Shen Yuanshan took the order, but Sheng Hongyu didn't want to stay, Zhi Rong grabbed her hand seriously: "Hongyu, the front is very dangerous, I don't dare to take care of myself and come out alive." Anyway, you are a direct descendant of the second line, if I am gone, the Shen family will be handed over to you and General Shen. ”

Sheng Hongyu and Shen Yuanshan were shocked, only then did they understand Zhirong's intentions, the front was dangerous, and Zhirong didn't want the people of the Shen family to die. Shen Yuanshan admired her thoughts, but Sheng Hongyu felt ashamed, if she was much stronger than Zhirong in terms of martial arts, she was really narrow-minded.

Zhirong brought Shen Qing, Shen Heng and more than a dozen cronies and secret guards, plus a few young people with good martial arts of the Jin family led by Jin Shi, a total of twenty people. Ling'er stayed with her mother-in-law. The juice of the snow lotus really had a miraculous effect, and Zhirong was now able to make a faint mute sound, although it was unpleasant, but it didn't have to make people look at the lips anymore.

She is really grateful to the King of the Northern Realm for this, but things are one yard at a time, and as long as she has the fate of Snow Lotus, Bai Zhirong, will repay it sooner or later, but she will not use the lives of her family to pay for it.

The gate of the evil spirit city was tightly closed, and there was a big grimace on the door, which made people feel eerie and terrifying. The gates are only opened for two hours at noon every day.

After Zhirong and the others changed their appearance, they disguised themselves as homeless people and blended into a group of fleeing people. Even it is not easy for homeless people and criminals to enter the city, the guards of the city gate will question and check one by one, and once they find something wrong, they will solve it on the spot, and sometimes even the guards are just bored and want to kill people for fun.

However, the situation in Evil Spirit City has been much better recently. Zhirong listened to a homeless person next to him say that this situation has a lot to do with the guards, who all take turns to change guards, and some of them kill people at will. Some of them are very well-behaved.

Zhirong and the others glanced at each other, it seemed that this evil spirit city was also divided into factions, and the styles of action between the factions were completely different. If this is the case, it will not be possible to avoid conflicts between factions. It's no wonder that the rules of doing things in Evil Spirit City are sometimes different from the past.

When they arrived at the city gate, the guards searched Zhirong and the others to make sure that they did not have any weapons or poisons, and one of the captains with good martial arts also pressed the pulse of several people one by one to test their martial arts.

After being tempted to find that none of them had martial arts, the man handed them a wooden sign: "After you go in, I will arrange things for you to do." Remember that the city of evil spirits does not raise useless people. ”

The wooden plaque is very crude, and the word 'slave' is written on it. Stepping into the city gate, Zhirong and the others were stunned. There is not much difference between this and ordinary cities, there are also pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages and various shops on the streets, but most of them are gambling houses, brothels, and restaurants, and you can basically not see jewelry shops or fabric shops.

"You guys go over there. Come with me. A gray-bearded guard split Zhirong's group into two groups. The gold stone was distributed elsewhere.

The old man led them towards the west of the city, and said as he went, "You are now the lowest people in the city of evil spirits, but if you have a skill or merit in the future, you will no longer be slaves." ”

It turns out that there is still such a rule in the city. Zhirong looked at the brothels and said in her heart, most of the women among those homeless people were brought to these places. Fortunately, she has not been recognized as a man recently.

After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at my destination. It was a granary, and the slaves had to load the grain onto the wagons. Horse-drawn wagons would then deliver food to the people in the city. Only then did Zhirong understand why there were no grain shops in the city. It turned out that all the grain in the city was divided into several places and then distributed.

This is also a trick of the upper decision-makers in Evil Spirit City. People can live without gambling or prostitution, but they must never run out of food. Not only food, but also salt, coal, and other necessities of life are distributed under the distribution system.

Zhirong and others are doing a lot of work honestly. Shen Qing wanted to carry a bag of grain with her, but was stopped by a fierce man, and he whipped Zhirong fiercely. As soon as Shen Qing was about to make a move, he was stopped by Zhirong. Now is not the time to be impulsive.

Fortunately, she has cultivated a little mental method, and she can carry food with one hand, but it is slower than others. However, what made Zhirong feel strange was that every time she lifted a bag of food, she was very relaxed, as if someone was helping. She looked left and right, but saw suspicious people.

After all the work was done, everyone else was sweating profusely with tears, but Zhirong was like a person who had nothing to do. The big man laughed and said, "I didn't expect you kid to be really capable, work hard, and have your benefits." ”

Zhirong smiled bitterly, where did she do any work, all the bags were helped, and this person's martial arts were so advanced that they couldn't be noticed at all. How could such a character end up working here?

Or have their whereabouts been discovered long ago. After eating in the evening, Zhirong told Shen Heng and Shen Qing about the day's affairs. Both of them looked heavy.

"Master, this person's martial arts are above us, and they are unfathomable. It seems that we need to make a quick decision, and we can't afford to delay here for too long. Just now, Jin Shi sent someone to bring news that there is another city in this city, and presumably the real owner of the evil spirit city lives there. ”

Shen Heng has always been able to analyze the stakes and make decisions as quickly as possible, and what he said happened to be what Zhirong thought. The three of them quickly took action and sneaked out with their people, heading straight for the city within the city of the evil spirits.

Jin Shi and the others were already waiting there, and when Zhirong saw this small city, he realized that this was the real evil spirit city, and every appearance was outside, but there were thousands of villains inside.

"Let's go into the city now and find a way to capture the city lord of the evil spirit city." To deal with the wicked, you naturally have to use the methods of the wicked, Zhirong has no intention of negotiating with these murderous maniacs, it will only make them think that you are weak, you have to be more ruthless and crazy than them to deal with the madmen, and countering evil with evil is the best way.

Capturing the city lord, one of the decision-makers of Evil Spirit City, is undoubtedly the most important. Zhirong and the others acted immediately, and Shen Qing and Shen Heng were responsible for figuring out the mechanism in order to open the way for Zhirong and Jinshi. And the two of them even treat this as a kind of competition, and in the end, there are more traps to be solved by one to one.

"Hmph, this evil spirit city has a false name, and the trap is not worth mentioning at all." Shen Qing pursed his lips, as if he hadn't had enough fun at all.

Shen Heng was much more cautious, he still had doubts in his heart, he touched his chin and frowned: "Since the Evil Spirit City is a barrier, there must be a mystery, and this city within a city should not be underestimated, the more simple mechanisms on the surface, the more ghosts there are." ”

The group continued their actions and soon found the city lord's room. Since there is also an ancestral hall dedicated to the city lord in the evil spirit city, the secret guard has long drawn a portrait of the evil spirit city lord.

The evil spirit city lord was sleeping soundly, Shen Heng entered the bedroom and clicked on his acupoint and brought the person out, carefully checking that this person was not disguised and was indeed the real evil spirit city lord.

It should have been joyful, but a bad premonition rose in Zhirong's heart. Yiqiē seems to have come too smoothly, as if waiting for them to arrive.

Shen Qing also sensed that something was wrong: "Master, let's quickly retreat." Years of intuition told her that things weren't good.

Soon, their speculation became a reality, and suddenly the mountains shook, the originally flat road became potholes, and the road at their feet cracked, separating Zhirong and Shen Heng and the others. The flames rose all around, and the crowd stared at them like wild beasts.

A crack isolated Shen Heng and Shen Qing on a stone slab, while Jin Shi and the others were separated on the other side. And the slate is also sinking rapidly, and there is quicksand underneath.

Immediately, the evil spirit city lord in Shen Heng's hand suddenly woke up and broke through the acupoint and struck Shen Heng hard in the chest, Shen Heng spurted out a mouthful of blood when he landed, Shen Qing saw that the person was leaving, and hurriedly stepped forward, but he missed because he wanted to take care of Shen Heng and not let him fall.

"I didn't expect someone to really come to arrest me!" The city lord was so good at light that he flew in front of Zhirong and grabbed Zhirong's neck. "Who are you?"

Zhirong pierced two needles into the city lord's arm, and as soon as the evil spirit city lord let go, Zhirong was beaten down with a palm of the atmosphere, and it was pitch black under the stone slab where she was.

fell, just when she thought she was dead, a figure flew down quickly, grabbed her by the waist, and then used light skills to fly to the side. Finally fell into the darkness.

When Zhirong woke up, she was lying in the man's arms, and she subconsciously pushed the man away. Staggering to his feet, he stepped back and crashed into a stone wall.

"Don't be afraid, it's not hell. It's a secret room. Now you should not worry about me, but think about how we can get out, or the air will run out and we will all suffocate. "The man was wearing a mask and his mouth was blocked, so his voice was muffled.

"Who are you?" Zhirong vigilantly took out a few needles, why did this person get up and come down together? Is it to save her or is there something else? (To be continued......)
