0731: Infiltrating the city
The world of the summoner of the glory of kings
Mengjiang City is an extremely common square city, with more than ten miles of length and width, and it is a very rare small city.
If it weren't for its exceptional location, as well as the abundance of minerals nearby, the city would not be remarkable at all.
Because the interior of the city is limestone, crops cannot be grown at all, but there is a grassland outside the city, and the land is quite fertile, but there is also no one to cultivate agricultural products, so the living materials of this city are all traded from other cities.
Because most of the residents of this city work in the mines, although the work in the mines is hard and dangerous, the income is very high, more than ten times or even dozens of times that of ordinary laborers.
Therefore, everyone in the city is so rich that they are reluctant to reclaim wasteland for planting, and with this time and strength, it is not enough to mine for a few days.
The inhabitants of Mengjiang City were originally only tens of thousands, and with the garrison, the total number was only 100,000, and the living materials of these 100,000 people were all obtained from other cities.
100,000 people eat, drink, chew, and consume as much material as a mountain every day, so there are vehicles with luck materials coming in and out of Mengjiang City every day, some sending food in, and then pulling a cart of ore away.
Stand tall and see far.
Xiao Chen was lying on the cliff and saw a team of hovering trucks winding around the south city gate, pulling dozens of truckloads of supplies, and was clearing and inspecting at the city gate.
Now the situation is tense, there have just been a few battles during the day, and the city lord has passed his birthday, the city guards have strengthened the inspection, so that the flow of people and vehicles at the southern gate of the city is a few miles away.
In addition to the vehicles that transport food and other supplies, there are also some song and dance troupes, juggling troupes and other performance teams, which are also mixed in the procession.
From time to time, cars entered the city, and people and vehicles from afar continued to join the queue, so that the people outside the southern city gate remained in a formation for several miles.
Xiao Chen also saw that in the north of the city, the big dog bear that had fought with him was lying on the river, eating happily, and some soldiers were naked, laboriously fishing for fish in the river for the big dog and bear to eat.
Although there is no snow here, but gradually in winter, ordinary people are cold to death in thin clothes, these people are actually fishing in the river, this scene makes Xiao Chen's hard-working nature of the soldiers of the island country increase.
Observing the big bear, Xiao Chen deliberately observed the soldiers around it, and he found that almost all of the island troops who had besieged Nanlibo before were outside the city, except for the mountains in the north, some people were sent to the most prosperous southern city gate to be on duty.
"No wonder there don't seem to be many enemy troops in the city...... However, it could also be that the enemy is suspicious. ”
Xiao Chen muttered, thinking that it was useless to observe from a distance like this, and the best way was to sneak into the city.
After making up his mind, Xiao Chen didn't think much about it, and called Xiao Yu, who was holding a telescope to look east and west, and the two went down from behind the cliff and dived into the mountains and forests again.
Along the way, Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu avoided the island army patrolling the mountains and went all the way south, detouring to the congested road.
At this time, Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu were dressed like a fleeing aristocratic young master and a maid, and after walking for a while, they found a target, a certain song and dance troupe, with a total number of forty or fifty people, and seven or eight suspended trucks, they did not hesitate to come forward to talk.
Xiao Chen said that they had suffered a disaster, and they wanted to find a city to rest for a few days and take refuge, the head of the regiment was a big fat man, and he didn't want to cause trouble, but when Xiao Yu took out a bag of gold coins, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
The bag of gold coins was less than three or five hundred, which was enough for the income of the song and dance troupe for one performance, and the head of the troupe found that Xiao Yu had a sub-yuan card, and a greedy light flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes.
The head of the regiment's cunning eyes kept staring at Xiao Yu, the more Xiao Yu flinched, the more energetic he became, his ill-intentioned demeanor could hide from others, but he couldn't hide from Xiao Yu, who was extremely sensitive.
got into a car loaded with props, there were several young men in the car who were sleeping, Xiao Yu found a time, and whispered to Xiao Chen: "Young master, I want to kill that fat man." ”
"Shhhh However, I don't like that fat pig either, since you want to kill him, wait until you enter the city and find a chance to kill him. Xiao Chen looked at the sleeping men vigilantly, and also said in a very low voice.
"Okay, young master." Xiao Yu nodded happily, sat beside Xiao Chen with his hands and knees, and was happy alone in his heart.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was Xiao Chen's song and dance troupe, all of them were called off the car, some people took the list and checked them one by one, and some people used advanced instruments to scan the hovercar to find out if there were contraband.
The list was provided by the head of the song and dance troupe, and of course the names of Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu were on it, the song and dance troupe was a very low status in the world today, with strict training, hard performances, beating and scolding by the stewards, and some nobles took a fancy to one or two people and wanted to go casually, which made the personnel of the song and dance troupe very unstable.
Therefore, mixed in the song and dance troupe, no matter how strict the investigation is, there is no way to find them, after more than ten minutes of inspection, Xiao Chen and the others got in the car again and successfully entered the city.
Not long after, the song and dance troupe arrived at the designated house of the city lord's mansion to stay, Xiao Chen took the fat cat, Xiao Yu took the little turtle, the two said that they wanted to find a better hotel to live in, and the landlord where the song and dance troupe lived did not match his identity as a noble young master.
The head of the song and dance troupe persuaded them to no avail, so they had to let them go, and if they continued to make trouble, they would alarm the security guards, if the incident was discovered, it was the song and dance troupe that suffered, so the head of the fat pig troupe had to let Xiao Chen and them leave, and finally unwillingly arranged two people to follow and monitor Xiao Chen.
Two ordinary stalkers, Xiao Chen didn't pay attention to it at all, he took Xiao Yu to walk on the street, almost all of them were shops on both sides of the street, and there were some small stalls on the street, with all kinds of strange things for sale.
Xiao Chen generously bought some local products, all of which were ornaments made of strange stones, ceramic dolls made of some clay, and so on.
Of course, there is also the most important one, ore, all kinds of ore, some of which are smuggled out by miners and sold to major shops, some are from the city lord's mansion, and some are waste stones, which are used to deceive strangers.
Xiao Chen was generous, as long as he recognized the eye, whether it was true or not, he bought it in one bite, and he didn't even pay back the price, and it didn't take long for him to sell tens of thousands of gold coins, and this kind of money-burning behavior quickly attracted the attention of some people.
But where Xiao Chen walked, some shop owners were fine, just standing at the door and watching, and those small stall owners were desperately selling their things to Xiao Chen one by one.
This is the effect that Xiao Chen wants, attracting the attention of enough people, first, to dispel the doubts of the head of the song and dance troupe, and secondly, to make the soldiers patrolling the city scruples, and there is a psychology that the lights are dark, so they don't come to check them.
Of course, if it is too conspicuous, it will not be noticed by people with ill intentions and cause bloodshed.
Most of the gadgets and ores that Xiao Chen bought were freewheeling, whether he bought good things or not, whether he was deceived or not, he didn't care at all.
After spending some gold coins, Xiao Chen was very impatient to be watched, shouted loudly, hugged the fat cat, and left arrogantly.
In some indignant shouting, Xiao Chen walked away, and soon found a hotel that was no more than 100 meters high and extremely luxurious at first glance.
The people of the two song and dance troupes stood guard outside the door for a while, and when they saw that Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu did not come out, they did not dare to go in to look for them, and finally had to leave and go back to report to the head of the fat pig troupe.
Somewhere upstairs, Xiao Chen was lying in front of the window and watched the two walk away, he said, "Xiaoyu, let's go." ”
Xiao Chen's main purpose in entering the city was to find out the deployment of troops in the city, and now that he had been playing with those fools for so long, it was time for him to act.
The strength of the fierce general city is insufficient, Nan Libo has long speculated, Xiao Chen walked around, and he had to admire Nan Libo's ability again.
After walking around, it was already afternoon, and it was only two or three hours before dark, Xiao Chen looked at the time, so he took Xiao Yu into a restaurant close to the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiao Chen, as always, sat down in front of the glass window, ordered a large table of dishes at random, and then tasted fruit wine, leisurely looking at the endless stream of people outside the window.
The dinner party of the city lord's mansion is about to begin, and the people of the song and dance troupe and the juggling troupe have been brought in from the side gate after repeated inspections, and as the guests of the city lord, the dignitaries and nobles in the city, as well as some lieutenants of the island country stationed in the city, either alone or in groups of three or five, are busy sweating in the house in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's expression froze, and his hand on the table suddenly clenched.
On the corner tower of the City Lord's Mansion, several people stood there, pointing at the people outside, these people, he knew a few of them.
However, Xiao Chen's gaze was directly on one person, Liang Yuechen, one of the people standing on the corner tower and watching the distance was Liang Yuechen, who Xiao Chen couldn't rest assured, and the two Liang family soldiers who met in the border city, but they didn't see the arrogant gentleman.
Xiao Chen's fists clenched tighter and tighter, and he woke up from his initial surprise and joy, and began to worry about taking the city.
No matter how Liang Yuechen appeared here, her appearance must not be accidental, secondly, the bodyguards who followed her were all powerful Liang Jiajun, not those paper-like summoners, and Xiao Chen was not sure of victory.
Xiao Chen can stop the two Liang family troops beside Liang Yuechen, but who knows if there are other powerful Liang family troops around her? Who will stop you?
At this moment, Xiao Chen almost couldn't help but rush out, and hurriedly went out of the city to tell Nan Libo to stop the operation, in case the enemy closed the door and beat the dog, and the whole army was wiped out here.
If it was just him, Xiao Chen might show up to meet Liang Yuechen and chat by the way, no matter what, this girl used to be his own, and he had too many things to say to the other party.
Meet now, don't talk about love, just talk about feelings, after all, the two have known each other for more than ten years, so can they be broken?
However, seeing that he was on a mission and carrying the lives of hundreds of people, Xiao Chen's heart was fiercely fighting, and his fists were about to pinch blood, and he didn't go out to recognize him in the end.
And Liang Yuechen and the others watched the scenery on the corner tower for a while, and left under the leadership of a burly man.
From the beginning, Liang Yuechen didn't know that there was a person hiding in the corner, watching her silently, with love and resentment for her, and she didn't know what to do.
