Chapter 1: Entering the City

The winter in Chengdu Mansion in Shu is not as bleak as the winter in the north, and it is slightly different from the winter in Jiangnan and Lingnan. Chengdu Mansion is at the bottom of the basin in the Sichuan Basin, determined by its topography, and the cold current in the north is also like the Shu Road that the ancients sighed for, and it is blocked by the Qinling Mountains and cannot enter the Sichuan land. There is no cold snap coming, and the temperature in Chengdu will generally not fall below zero degrees in winter, and snow is even more rare. At first warm, it was still cold, like autumn and winter, and it was hidden in the two successive seasons, which was a little ambiguous.

Due to the fact that the temperature of the climate is similar during the change of seasons, even the leaves and plants near Chengdu Mansion have not decayed and withered, and the leaves and trunks are still intimately combined, maintaining a vibrant greenery. The green grass in the wild does not appear yellow, but with the seasons it fades a layer of dark green on the surface and becomes yellow-green and yellow-green. But after all, it is the coldest season of the year, and the plants and trees have naturally stopped growing, and at this time, they are accumulating the energy of their whole bodies to fight against the cold, and they seem to be trying their best to defend their green life breath.

Lin Feng and his entourage of fifteen people, after four days and three nights of non-stop running, finally arrived less than 20 miles away from the north gate of Chengdu Mansion on the fifth day when the sky was still only white.

The weather in the past two days was not very good, which seemed to confirm Lin Feng's mood at this time, even at this time, when everyone got off the horse and rested beside the tree on the side of the road, Lin Feng was still sitting alone on a stone seven or eight meters away from everyone, he just simply drank two sips of water, and then lowered his head and fell silent.

In recent days, there has been no wind, and the fog of the late autumn and early winter mornings has gathered together for a long time, and the sky always looks low and gloomy, and the trees where everyone is are completely covered by a thick haze, and even if someone raises their eyes to look around, they are full of gray sky and earth and vague shadows of trees.

In this environment, Lin Feng, who was sitting on the stone resting, gradually became dull like the surrounding weather. The haze that spread all over every corner of the heavens and the earth seemed to be transformed into an invisible pressure, pressing on Lin Feng's shoulders and heart in disguise, making Lin Feng even feel that it was difficult to breathe normally.

Lin Feng, who was looking down at the ground, had a lot of sentimentality for no reason for a while.

For these, the rest of the people basically understood, and even Qinglong and Suzaku had learned a little bit in private, so everyone didn't deliberately bother Lin Feng along the way.

Soon, the sky gradually brightened, everyone was almost rested, and after the Feng Kill and Qinglong Vermilion Bird who gathered together finished talking about the last topic with a smile, they all got up and walked towards their war horses, only Chen Wansan walked towards Lin Feng.

"Brother Feng!" Chen Wansan smiled and raised his hand towards Lin Feng and waved it, "We discussed it just now, we went into the city separately, and then met in the city!" lest we gather into the city early in the morning to attract the attention of Chen Gou's minions! ”

Lin Fengyuan's soul in the Marquis Mansion of Hanzhong was summoned back by Chen Wansan's sudden words, and he immediately sat on the stone and was stunned for a moment, and after a little reaction to the suggestion that Chen Wansan had just made, he immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay!" Just as everyone says! Split up! After that, Lin Feng also stood up from the stone, and when he saw that everyone had already mounted the war horses one after another, he was slightly stunned, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Everyone is resting!" Let's go! Go into town as soon as possible and find an inn to get some rest! ”

After finishing speaking, under the leadership of Lin Feng, the group set off towards Chengdu Mansion with a whip.

According to the plan, Lin Feng, Qinglong, and Suzaku entered Chengdu Mansion directly from the north gate, while Chen Wansan and Zhao Chenyi each took five Feng Kill brothers to the east gate and the west gate respectively.

When Lin Feng and the three of them entered the city, it was still early, and the city gate had only just been opened, and the soldiers guarding the city gate to check the passers-by were sleepy-eyed and held their spears in their arms, and their hands were poked into each other's cuffs, and they would yawn from time to time, Lin Feng opened the city gate at a glance, and the soldiers who had just crawled out of the bed to change the morning shift couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.

However, Lin Feng, who was about to cross the interrogation, was seen by a soldier on duty, who seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lin Feng's performance, and his hands in the cuffs were not taken out, so he hugged his chest and raised it in the direction of Lin Feng, and shouted at Lin Feng with an unconvinced face: "Eh! What are you shaking your head at?! Come here! ”

Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and the steps under his feet also stopped, and he looked at the man in surprise and asked, "Are you calling me?" ”

"Nonsense! If you don't shout, you still call ghosts! The man scolded in a low voice with impatience on his face, stared at Lin Feng up and down for a few seconds, and saw that Lin Feng's clothes were not very luxurious, and suddenly a thought rose in his heart, a malicious smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head sideways and shouted to Lin Feng: "Come with me!" Look at your face, you have to check carefully! ”

Lin Feng instantly understood what the man meant, glanced at the green dragon beside him who had already raised his feet, and then changed his face to a smiling face, followed the soldier and walked over quickly. When he arrived at the foot of the city wall, the soldier first looked around a few times, and after seeing that no one noticed him, he turned his head to Lin Feng.

Before he could speak, he felt a slight coolness coming from his left hand that had just stretched out his cuffs, and Lin Feng in front of him was even more smiling, his eyes kept turning down on him, the man followed Lin Feng's gesture blankly and slowly lowered his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and his left hand weighed slightly, and after making sure that the amount of silver in his palm was enough, he suddenly narrowed his small eyes and nodded appreciatively at Lin Feng.

After satisfying the desire for money of the little ghost guarding the city, Lin Feng successfully entered Chengdu Mansion, and Qinglong and Suzaku, who had been waiting by the streets of the city for a long time, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Feng enter the city safely, after all, their task this time was extremely arduous.

Lin Feng didn't talk to the two, just smiled at the two of them briefly, then raised his head forward and took the lead along the street.

Although it was still early, after the three of them walked not far, they began to see pedestrians hurrying by on both sides of the street, most of them carrying bamboo baskets full of various fresh vegetables, and some people also carried one or two bundles of dry firewood on their backs, which were obviously used for cooking and heating for a day.

Not far ahead, in a relatively spacious venue, Lin Feng and the others saw the morning market in Beicheng, crowded with people, full of ordinary people in Beicheng, on the street side of the front and back ends of the morning market, there are also some small traders with simple sheds, where they can make some simple breakfasts for the people who get up early to sell vegetables and firewood to make a living, and they can also eat a hot breakfast.

At the entrance of the morning market, Lin Feng couldn't help but stop and look, and a helpless smile couldn't help but appear on his face. He knew very well in his heart that no matter whether this operation was successful or not, a war was always inevitable, and how many days could these people, who lived and lived a peaceful life, continue like this?
