Chapter 272: Deadwood Town
The three of them talked until dawn!
During this period, in order to prove that the three hundred taels were worth it, the Nangong brothers and sisters almost told the big things they knew in their little half of their lives.
The words coming from their mouths are a big deal, but most of them are useless news in Xiao Sha's ears!
For example, Boss Zhang and Boss Huang on South Street quarreled on the street, and a few days later, the two spent money to hire someone to beat them outside the city. Another example is that a incense master of the Qinglong Gang celebrates his 50th birthday, invites guests to eat, and there are mountains and seas, as well as a boat of the River Crossing Gang, which is sunk when it encounters a good hand in the Open Pulse Realm, etc., which directly makes people have a headache.
After screening, there are only two useful ones, one is that Zhang Wushu and his party of the Zhang family have not come out much in the first half month since they entered the City Lord's Mansion, and they have not moved out to live in an inn outside until recently.
The second is that it is said that the generals of a naval division of the imperial court stationed outside have been replaced again, and this naval division is about 10,000 people, and the previous replacement was more than two months ago.
After the previous mysterious commander who was so mysterious that they didn't seem to know anyone else left, this time it was the deputy general who was directly promoted to the commander, and he was preparing a banquet for a few days, and the reason why the Nangong Yan brothers and sisters knew so much was that they originally wanted to find a reason to mix in and eat and drink for nothing!
These two pieces of news were somewhat useful to Xiao Sha, especially the latter one, which almost made him sure that Fierce Wind Yang's death was inseparable from some people in the imperial court. You must know that the general guerrilla generals are the existence of auxiliary city lords but acting alone, and all the dispatching and promotion are all internal dispatch arrangements of the imperial court, which means that the commander last time was at least recognized by the imperial court before he could lead the troops to attack the giant whale gang.
This matter made him feel a little tricky, but he could figure it out, and he didn't worry about being troubled by the imperial court when his strength was unclear and the situation was not clear.
After dawn, in order to test whether what Nangong Yan said was true, he took the two of them out and walked around casually, wanting to see if Nangong Yan knew many people as he said.
Because they were still wearing black clothes, Nangong Yan and Nangong Yue were not used to it at first, but when they really went out, they found that things were not as bad as originally planned.
In this big city where people from all over the world come together, they wear everything, and their so-called night clothes are actually two sets of black strong clothes suitable for both men and women, plus Xiao Sha's own black long clothes, at first glance, many people only think that they are ordinary clothes at most, and they look neat, but no one comes up to find trouble.
It turned out that Nangong Yan's words were indeed true, Xiao Sha had just taken them a few streets from the inn and already saw two or three people greeting them. Among them, there are shopkeepers, roadside vendors, etc., whose status is different but looks very familiar, and when they are ridiculed, they are three points malicious and seven points cordial, and it can be seen that their popularity is actually good.
After taking them a few more streets, seeing them greet more than ten people, and even a small shop owner who seemed to have a good mix of two hundred yuan to ask them to help find the lost puppy, Xiao Sha finally believed that they had grown up in this city since childhood, and according to the attitude of those people towards them, they did have some skills in the news.
Since there is no major problem with the abilities of the two, the temporary plan he made after a night of thinking about it is about to begin.
After making sure that the two were reliable, he took the two brothers and sisters to the residence of the two brothers and sisters outside the city for all these years, and then gave them a few tasks according to what he wanted overnight.
First, secretly monitor every move of the city lord's mansion, but any major events or mysterious people entering and leaving must be secretly recorded. At the same time, he told them some information about the account book that Yunhua had said, so that they would have time to inquire about the hiding place of the account book in the house in the safest way.
After all, the stakes are so high, he doesn't want to miss the clues, so he takes a two-pronged approach, if he can find out about the leader of the army himself, it is the best, and if it is really not good, he will steal the account book.
Second, carefully inquire about the recent events in the city, but don't miss any news related to the Giant Whale Gang, the City Lord's Mansion, or slightly famous people, and you must tell yourself as soon as possible.
The third is the matter of the Holy Flame Order!
In fact, Xiao Sha was also overjoyed at first, and when he looked back and thought carefully about the difference between the Holy Fire Divine Skill and the Jiuyang Divine Skill, he remembered that the Holy Flame Divine Skill seemed to be not a second-rate martial art. Although the part about this set of martial arts in the Heaven and Dragon Slayer also has merits, but the power is not great, and after careful comparison, he feels that this set of martial arts may not be second-rate but third-rate.
But it doesn't matter, the martial arts Tiangong Pavilion above the fifth rate is gone, and now what he lacks is the internal strength heart method to break through and enter the refining realm, even if it is a third-rate, even if it is a fourth-rate, it is not bad for him at all.
In order to break through the refining realm as soon as possible and better save his life after entering the other world, he decided to go to Deadwood Town first to see the situation when many things had not yet been settled.
……
……
Deadwood Town is one of the many small towns attached to Jinyang City in the vicinity, and belongs to the Jianghu forces similar to Sujia Town, but the scale is much smaller than Sujia Town, and it is a veritable town. Originally, the town was said to have less than 10,000 people, ruled by a smaller family, but more than ten years ago, because that small family offended the enemy, it was uprooted and slaughtered by a force greater than them.
The massacre of nearly 10,000 people at one time was a bit appalling even to the people of the rivers and lakes, and it is said that half of Yunchuan County was shaken by it at that time, and that force caused the unanimous targeting of various Jianghu sects and the imperial court in this vicious way, and it was suppressed and wiped out a few months later.
As a grave for tens of thousands of people, Deadwood Town has also become a dead town that no one patronizes, and the Jianghu people and the imperial court who jointly eradicate evil have ignored this place after rescuing the remaining survivors who escaped their lives, and this place has been uninhabited since then.
Because the rumored ghost roar was late at night, Xiao Sart deliberately arrived on horseback in the evening, and when he came here, he realized that he was not the only one who rushed to the news.
Due to the large number of people who died in Deadwood Town, many places on the outskirts that should have been vegetable fields and farmlands were used as cemeteries by officers and soldiers and well-meaning Jianghu people to bury the townspeople on the spot. Nearly 10,000 weedy mounds of graves densely surround the entire town, giving people an eerie and desolate feeling in the setting sun.
In the middle of the town, where people used to live, there are houses that have long since become ruins, and some fires are now sparsely piled up.
People in groups of people scattered or gathered here and there, and no one was afraid of the strange atmosphere here. Judging from the wearing weapons and some clothes, Xiao Sha could see that these guys, who add up to no less than one or two hundred people, are all martial arts people, and most of them have martial arts.
Now that this time is still there, the purpose of these people naturally needs not be said!
Now that he was somewhat confident in his martial arts, and very curious about the ghostly roar, he found an abandoned house that had been separated from it and had become an open place, and cleaned it, and then sat on a pile of hay and waited for the night to come.
