The altar of the Prophet in Shengpingfang is the largest gathering place for foreigners in the entire city of Chang'an. At the beginning of their establishment, their Venerable used nearly 200 street frontage shops to exchange this open space for more than 1,000 people to gather with Xin'anhou; If you add in the amount of money spent on building the church, it is an astronomical amount that will stun anyone.

Since the afternoon of this day, thousands of cannibal men have gathered in this church. Under the guidance of an old Venerable One, they recited the scriptures without sleep, eating or drinking. By midnight, the chanting assembly had been in place for six hours.

As the first watch sounded outside, the familiar sound of 'close the door, beware of the candles', also entered the sanctuary again. Suddenly, a short, thin, and agile boy climbed into the temple on his knees. His knees thumped against the stone slab, but as if he didn't know the pain, he quickly fell to his Venerable's feet.

After whispering a few words, the old venerable straightened his waist, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the man's head, and then raised his eyes as gloomy as a falcon, looked at a middle-aged man at the head of the team, and nodded solemnly......

Half an hour later, the doors of the church were wide open, and more than a thousand masked cannibal men poured out of it; Each of them had an unsheathed scimitar-handled knife in their hands, and they followed behind the middle-aged man and walked mightily up to Hanguang Street, the main road from west to east.

Chang'an City has strict entry and exit times, with a curfew every day and a curfew. If there are still idle people wandering the streets after the city gate is closed, it is considered a violation of the criminal law, except for those who have reported in advance and obtained permission from the yamen. The most basic punishment is fifty lashes on the street; If he is a little more short-tempered and speaks more ugly, any soldier on duty at night can put this person to death on the spot!

And this Hanguang Street, from Chunming Gate in the east to Jinguang Gate in the west, will not only pass by the most prosperous east and west markets along the way, but also pass through the Suzaku Gate in the south of the palace; Walking on such a street on weekdays and nights, there is no need to say how many checks and sentry posts you will encounter along the way.

However, at this time, the bangzi of the first watch had just sounded, and Chang'an City was completely within the scope of the curfew; According to common sense, don't say that these more than 1,000 black-clothed people are holding sharp blades and swaggering through the market; Even if only one drunk comes out, he will definitely not be able to escape the thousands of pairs of eyes of the night watchman!

However, until these more than 1,000 people, they came to their destination unscathed, south of Dongfang City, and along the way, except for the leader who wielded a knife to kill an old man who couldn't dodge, he didn't even see the shadow of half a soldier! Chang'an City, which was still noisy and noisy during the day, now seems to have fallen into a strange sleep; Except for those wild dogs who were unwilling to be lonely and barked wildly in the courtyards, there was not even a single ghost shadow.

This team of more than 1,000 people, the target of this trip is Xuanping and Shengping two squares south of Dongfang City. In these two markets, there are many money and silver numbers, as well as countless jewelry buildings and pawn shops......

Of course, no matter how arrogant these big cannibals are, it is impossible to think that with a team of more than 1,000 people, they can completely capture this huge Chang'an City. So the real intention of their operation this time was just to snatch some gold and silver property!

This Chang'an City is the most fascinating paradise for businessmen from all over the world, and it is also a golden city in the eyes of outsiders. Although this place is not as rich as the legend, if the two markets of Xuanping and Shengping are really looted by these big cannibals, then the wealth lost is no less than the treasury of the Northern Yan Dynasty, which was completely ransacked, or twice!

The prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river, although this action of the big cannibal seems to be very sudden; But in fact, as early as nearly a year, some clues have emerged. For example, the bearded man who deceived Bai Heng into poisoning, based on the family business accumulated by his ancestors for several generations, even if he was endlessly blackmailed by the Venerable Nun, with a stable and mature spice business, it would not be a problem to mix the whole family to eat and clothe themselves; However, the most important reason for his fall to this point is that the source and sales of goods in his hometown have been completely cut off!

Whether it is black or white, their main export goods are all jewelry and jade, spice crops, foal wool, statues, musical instruments and so on. However, two years ago, there was once again a violent friction between the two major factions within the Great Food Empire, which developed into a protracted war; To this day, there is no sign of a truce.

The hometown is bathed in the flames of war, so the trade routes of all the big food merchants are naturally cut off. Although the Great Food Country is not too far from the Huayu Continent, it will take at least one to two years for the caravan to come and go; The Great Food Empire was bathed in war, and the trade route was destroyed, and the danger of long-distance transportation increased exponentially.

Therefore, as early as more than half a year ago, the goods in the hands of these big food merchants, whether it is the condition or the price, have become extremely unstable; However, business is like this, as long as the customer has money in his pocket, are they afraid that they will not be able to buy the goods? Over the years, the reason why the big food merchants have been able to gain a foothold in Xifang City is because they have trafficked goods by land, and the supply and replenishment cycle are relatively stable. As for the goods themselves, there is nothing particularly rare. If you don't care too much about the price, there are definitely not a few partners who can replace them.

When there is a war in this family, the merchants who are begging for a living outside will also suffer. As a result, many small merchants went bankrupt and ended up living in the sanctuary with their families and eating the relief food sent by His Holiness and the Guru. But these two leaders are clergy, and the light and heaven in their hearts cannot fill their hungry stomachs after all; And the relief food they took out finally had a definite source......

As more and more trade routes were cut off, the merchants stranded in Chang'an City also gathered more and more, and only the few big merchants with stable incomes were quickly dragged down by many brothers of the same clan!

Just a few days ago, in the black-clothed Great Food Church, a thin young man came. He brought bad news to the old Venerable of the Ni Sect: the war in his hometown had reached a fever pitch, and the Ni warriors had been defeated and defeated one after another, and now there were only the last two big cities left in their hands, and there was no way to retreat! The Venerable Venerable ordered him to come and deliver a message, instructing the Venerable to quickly raise a huge amount of gold to replenish ordnance, hire soldiers, repair the city defenses, and make a final fight to the death against the leaf thieves!

The Guru's instructions, while reasonable, are a bit unrealistic! The thousands of black-clothed cannibals in Chang'an City now have the same standard of living as refugees, and they are the same hard-working people who have eaten the last meal and tightened their belts to live! In such an embarrassing situation, the hometown sent people to raise military expenses, which is like borrowing money for food, which is really difficult for a strong man.

If this is another business group, you can return it according to the truth; As the so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, the way to get rich has been blocked for more than half a year, what else can I use to make up for military expenses? However, whether it was a business group in black or white, they would never dare to say a word!

Because according to their rules, the Supreme is equivalent to their emperor and the common father of all the black-clothed cannibals. Now this situation is equivalent to the father asking his son to borrow money, otherwise the father will be beaten to death! Even if the son who is doing business abroad does not have any silver in his hand, he can steal or rob it, and if he smashes his bones, he has to make up enough money!

There is an old saying in Huayu Continent, if the king is not right, the minister will cooperate with the enemy country; If the father is unjust, the son will go to another country. However, this principle is obviously not so applicable to the Great Cannibal; They also have one thing in common with the people of Huayu Continent, that is, the king calls the minister to die, and the minister has to die; The Father told the Son to die, and the Son had to die! Moreover, the willingness to die and the tragic death can be called pious!

The Venerable Venerable, who has grown up in such an environment, will naturally regard the Dharma of the Venerable Lord as the only truth in his heart. So from that moment on, the big cannibal in black, who really had no choice, began to plan a dangerous move, preparing to completely loot the wealth of Chang'an City, and then all of them turned back to their hometowns together, and then had a final fight to the death with the big cannibal in white!

However, even though His Holiness had gathered more than a thousand loyal and brave warriors of the Great Eater; But for the Fufeng Army under Xin'an, even if the number of people increases by dozens of times, it is definitely not the enemy of an elite division like the Fufeng Army!

In addition, although they were allowed to carry their own weapons with them, they were no longer as rich as they used to be, they really had no horses under their crotches, no armor on their bodies, and many people were staggering with hunger, and they had no strength to fight at all; If it really faces the formed Beiyan regular army, I am afraid that these more than 1,000 people will not last long at all, and the whole army will be completely wiped out.

However, the successive visits of Bai Heng Bai Wenyan and a friend of Nankang made the old Venerable Ni Sect anxious and ignited the last ray of life! And he also carried out a careful deduction and planning according to the method said by the Nankang friend; Moreover, even if this plan fails, you will not have much to lose; But if this plan can be fulfilled, then he can not only complete the task ahead of schedule and overdue; At the same time, the master and the black-clothed compatriots who are far away from their hometown can also have the opportunity to fight to the death!

In a gamble like this, no matter how slim the chances are, they have to try their best!
