Stepping on the ground of Zuma Forest again, He Ming, who is now fully equipped and has become stronger for a while, does not feel much lighter, those runes related to chaos are more involved than imagined, and must not be used easily, and what he wants to do, he still doesn't know where to start.

Fortunately, no matter what he did, the next target had to go to Tucheng to find it, so he dressed up and went straight to Tucheng.

Tying up the cloak of the God of War armor and tying up his originally unkempt hair, He Ming looked like an image again, he thought that he should be able to change the state of being a man who had to hide his identity one day, but now the name He Ming can't be used.

When he arrived at the gate of Tucheng, his movements and demeanor were normal to the point of even being a little contrived, and he walked past the city wall with his wanted notice, so he didn't attract anyone's attention at all.

However, infiltrating Tucheng was only the first step, he didn't know where the map brought back by Ruyue Ying and the text translation of Zhang Blacksmith were stored, although he had been in Tucheng for a long time, but he mainly set foot in civilian areas and commercial areas, and the residences of those big families who held power and power were completely forbidden to ordinary people.

He had been to the aristocratic district once from beginning to end, it was a long time ago, he went to the stone tomb and followed Ye Zilan and them, and he knew a lot about the environment over there with his memory, but the only building he really walked into was the tavern that received them.

Of course, he couldn't get in that capacity again, and the gossip of ordinary people and the rumors of homeless people would definitely not get any valuable news about the aristocratic district - they couldn't get in at all.

He Ming wandered aimlessly in the civilian and commercial areas of Tucheng for a long time, and felt that the sky became dark when he felt helpless, because he had left Tucheng before and rushed to the desert, he had squandered too much money, and spent two more gold coins in the black shop, and now there are only a few silver coins left, and the ancient Beechcraft gold coin is not suitable for use here.

When he found that it was already dark and he had to consider accommodation, he went to several inns that were not good, and found that all the cheap rooms were rented out, and those rooms with better conditions, he didn't even have enough money for a deposit, and there was no place to live.

He had lived in Tucheng for a long time before and had never encountered a time when the room was so tight, but after thinking about it, in the current lack of vegetation and the end of the cold winter, the temperature difference between day and night is unimaginable, and there may be sandstorms at night, even the most depressed homeless people will find an indoor shelter.

And He Ming missed the best time to find a place to shelter from the wind and sand, so he casually bought some dry food and wrapped it up, and he realized that tonight he would spend the extremely difficult winter night in Tucheng with those homeless people whose lives were completely insecure.

Although the rainy season always brings enough materials for survival in the rainy season every year, and the folk customs of Mengzhong are also strong and simple, there is still a huge gap between people over time.

The original intention of the city was to protect the weak people and the facilities that did not need to fight in the south and other directions of the city in the harsher environment and need to fight against the more terrible bugs and beasts in the north, as well as the bitter north wind.

However, under the influence of the fierce folk customs, the whole city gradually became polarized, and the parts that originally needed protection and support were able to obtain fewer resources, and the stronger people took most of the materials, making Tucheng into the current aristocratic district, commercial area and civilian area.

And most of the planting, animal husbandry, and hunting are accompanied by irregular rainy seasons, which makes it impossible to carry out these production for a period of time each year, so that during the long dry season, there will be a large number of idle people—except for administrators, merchants, and guards, many of whom have nothing to do at such times.

It is conceivable that under the folk customs at that time, these idle people would not sit honestly and let the city be peaceful, and the nobles and lords in the north of the city were not interested in controlling these civilians at all, so the civilian areas in the dry season were also synonymous with danger.

Therefore, the resulting situation is that the nobles who occupy a lot of resources have arranged a large number of security guards in the north of the city, and they are not only responsible for the security of the noble district, but also have a very important task, which is to prevent those commoners from mixing in, and they think that the commoners will definitely make trouble as long as they have the opportunity.

In the commercial and artisan districts at the east and west ends, only some elite guards are arranged at fixed points to maintain law and order, and nobles and commoners will appear here, as long as there is no big trouble, they will not interfere too much.

And the civilian area in the south of the city, there will be all kinds of unpleasant events almost at any time in the dry season, but they are isolated by the guards, which does not affect the nobles, and the fierce folk customs will not destroy the stability of the entire city because of these struggles, but when these are the adjustment of life, there will be no guards at all to run to the civilian area.

It was on this cold night that He Ming wandered alone on the streets of the civilian area.

It is not fortunate or unfortunate, there is no legendary danger and turmoil at this kind of night: even the most aggressive fanatic will not come out to make trouble in the bad weather that is more than 20 degrees lower than the day, and there will be terrible sandstorms at any time, even robbers, there is no goal on such a night, do you still want to rob sandstorms?

Blown in his face by the knife-like wind, He Ming shuddered, looked at the empty street, and suddenly thought about it, he went north around the stone tomb and went to the business district.

The whole Tucheng was surprisingly silent, even the homeless people who were too poor to afford to live in the cheapest inns all found some places that were not so windy to huddle up to fight the cold, and when they arrived in the business district, He Ming found that most of the guards here were empty.

At this time, there is really little need to maintain law and order, and the situation is so serious that gangsters who dare to come out to make trouble at night like this, I am afraid that the few guards here will not be of much use.

This means that the difficulty of sneaking into the aristocratic area from here has been reduced by at least half! He Ming, who was excited, touched the direction of the aristocratic district step by step against the cold north wind.

When he was getting closer and closer to the aristocratic district, he suddenly found a figure, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a guard of the aristocratic district, holding a big knife, hunting in the cold wind, and his upright posture was not moved by the wind at all, and he was majestic.

His wishful thinking failed, under this kind of ghost weather, the guards of the aristocratic district are still dedicated to their jobs, and they will never give He Ming a chance to blend in easily.

So you can't walk around like that when you get here, people who are still hanging around at this time will definitely attract the attention of the guards, and if you look closely, your identity will be revealed immediately.

Therefore, He Ming was particularly careful to bypass the guard's line of sight, and through the wind and darkness, he touched the side of the aristocratic district, whether it was a commercial area or a craftsman district, to enter the aristocratic district, you had to pass through a narrow street, in fact, it was to separate the nobles from the commoners.

When He Ming touched the vicinity of that street, he found that even on this kind of night, the outside of this street was still brightly lit, and from here, there would be a guard patrolling more than ten meters.

These guards who still stick to their posts and protect Tucheng in such a harsh environment are really awe-inspiring, but they are annoying to He Ming himself. With his skills, it is possible to climb over the wall and enter the hospital without alarming these people to sneak in, but it is pointless to sneak in without determining where the thing is looking for.

Those things have a lot of influence, these nobles will send special people to guard, he can sneak in when he is not noticed, but it is impossible to silently take away the things that are guarded, and once you find the wrong place, the nobles will inevitably be more vigilant, making things more difficult to handle.

What's more, his identity is embarrassing enough, if even the new image is noticed, then he won't be able to mix into Tucheng, let alone the aristocratic district?

After careful consideration, He Ming retreated to the center of the business district, curled up in a corner of an alley where several buildings intersected, and closed his eyes.

Even if the wind doesn't blow through the area often, the near-fatal cold is still unbearable, and some homeless people disappear every morning, and in this environment, the same fate is for those who catch a cold and look down on the doctor.

Fortunately, he has habitually maintained the breathing method taught by Blacksmith Zhang, He Ming inhaled the cold air, sank into the dantian and then operated his whole body, now the environment is difficult, and there is nothing to do for the time being, just to grope for what he felt when he was blowing the wind but didn't have time to think about it.

As the breath continued, this heat remained in the dantian in the cold and icy world, and this heat flow began to wander around his body, as if he could transfer with his consciousness, but it was still elusive, which was gradually enough to help him resist the cold here, and also made his energy more vigorous.

It wasn't until he heard the gradually noisy voices in the business district that he instantly walked out of this fugue state, I don't know if he fell asleep last night, and now he feels energetic, comparable to sleeping a very comfortable night's sleep, and his body has never been frostbitten by the cold dripping into ice.

Patting his body and standing up, He Ming's mind began to turn away again, there must be an unobtrusive way to sneak into the aristocratic area, find a way to determine where those things are hidden, and successfully get the things he is looking for at one time, without revealing his identity.

But in terms of the current situation of the guards in the aristocratic district, it is simply an impossible task, but fortunately, the guards in the commercial area are not so exaggerated now, otherwise it would be a problem to even get close.
