Fengge City is located in the south of Heishui, the city is well developed, the surrounding terrain is rarely flat, the population in the city is 20,000 households, and the barracks are stationed outside the city, with a total of more than 2,000 people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The people of the Yashan Territory are extremely fierce, and the foreign races come and go, and it is possible to draw swords against each other if they disagree, so every city must be stationed with an army. Yashan is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, and there is basically no other commercial income in the territory except for the tax revenue brought by the majestic barrier level.

Hua Li Lang followed Akerlof into the Wind Song City, and when he passed by the city gate, Hua Li Lang did not see the soldiers guarding the city, and when he was strange, Tyrokos pointed to a group of people gathered under the city wall to burn the fire: "These people should be the guards of the Wind Song City." ”

Tylokos did not dare to say for sure, for the group had no armor on them, and the clothes they wore were very shabby, and some of them were already wrapped in torn cotton jackets, and some were still wearing single clothes. These men roasted meat under the city walls with great fanfare, spoke loudly, and did not care at all about the civilians passing by. When they found that someone was peeping, they also turned evil faces at each other and scolded.

The peeping civilians were not afraid, and an old woman with a cane spat at them and scolded: "A group of guys who steal chickens and dogs, and protect the territory and the people, what are they!" ”

A soldier was angry, and just as he wanted to stand up, a leader next to him dragged him down with a hand: "What are you arguing with these fools? Let them go! We're going to get through this winter. ”

Hearing what the leader said, the soldier had no choice but to sit down angrily. Seeing this scene, Hua Li Lang couldn't help but ask the angry old woman: "Old man, what's wrong with these soldiers?" ”

The old woman glanced at her: "You are foreign?" ”

Hua Li Lang nodded and said yes, and the old woman hummed and said to Hua Li Lang: "These soldiers don't have any good things, and now they have all become mountain bandits." The third watch guarding the city was in the middle of the night in the city to eat dog meat, and those stationed outside were even more terrible, with a small order for three days and a big order for five days, taking food directly from the people. The villages around Wind Song City have all suffered, and this group of people who kill a thousand knives only knows how to bully our own people. ”

The old woman must have been in a hurry, and she didn't forget to spit on the soldiers when she spoke, and the people passing by around her were pointing at the soldiers, some shaking their heads and sighing, and some scolding.

Hua Li Lang took a deep look at that place, and then followed the crowd into the city. There are not many people who follow Hua Li Lang into the city this time, and the rest of the soldiers and the people of the World Mercenary Regiment are all placed outside the city, and Hua Li Lang is ready to contact the Yashan Brotherhood first, and then bring the soldiers into the city.

After entering the city, Hua Li Lang found that the layout of the city defense of Fengge City was very strange. It was surrounded by a ring of low walls, which were filled with dwellings and bazaars, and there were no acropolises or towers. There is a castle in the center of the city, which looks extremely tall, and there are arrow towers and magic towers inside, and all kinds of defenses are complete.

Akerlof pointed to the castle and said to Hua Lilang: "Forgi came to Yashan and did nothing, but built a castle. This is a veritable castle in the city! I heard that there were a thousand maids and hundreds of soldiers. These were Fuergi's cronies, and the treatment was not comparable to that of the soldiers outside the city. ”

Hua Li Lang felt that Akerlof had something to say, but he didn't ask. Hua Li Lang was curious about where the Brotherhood of Asan was located, and Akerof told him that the Brotherhood of Asan did not have a station, and perhaps Akerof did not know. He only knew that Stephen, the clerk of Wind Song City, was a member of the Brotherhood of Yashan, and this time he entered the city to take Hua Li Lang to meet Stephen.

Stephen lives in the north of the city, and the mansion is very ordinary, and the threshold is not high. After Hua Li Lang asked the porter to hand over the greeting post, Stephen actually went out to greet him in person. Stephen was a fat man, but not short, and he walked very fast, and laughter could be heard before anyone arrived. When I saw Hua Li Lang, I shook hands with him very eagerly, and said with a sigh: "It's not easy!" It's not easy! I really don't know how General Hua came to Yashan through a lot of difficulties, but when I came to Yashan, when I arrived at my Stephen's house, General Hua was completely relieved. ”

Hua Li Lang asked curiously: "Does the clerk know that I have been troubled?" ”

Stephen snorted: "Isn't that obvious?" From the royal capital to Yashan, separated by tens of millions of miles, many places passed along the way were the old departments of Duke Andri, how could they let the general pass easily? Don't talk about this, I fell in love with General Hua at first sight, don't call me secretary, just call me Stephen! ”

Hua Li Lang smiled: "That's okay." ”

Stephen asked his servants to take Delokos and Akerlof to the side room to rest, and then brought Hua Li Lang to the living room, and after the servant offered tea, the two sat down separately. Stephen asked with his hand, "This drink is called 'tea', and it tastes a little bitter, and the nobles don't like to drink it. However, we are in the middle of nowhere, and we can't afford to drink the fine wine, so we can only use this crude drink to entertain guests, but this tea, although bitter, can make people sober, and if you are drunk, let him drink some tea and wake up quickly. This thing is cheap, but I use it to greet distinguished guests, General Hua has to forgive me! ”

Hua Li Lang saw that Stephen said directly, and couldn't help but feel good: "Tea is also available in my hometown, and when you smell the fragrance, you have a hometown taste." I love your drink! ”

Stephen clapped his hands and laughed: "What a peer!" ”

He enthusiastically asked Hua Lilang about his hometown, and Hua Lilang answered casually. The two chatted for a while, and Hua Li Lang found that this Stephen was really a talkative person. It didn't take long for Hua Li Lang to be reserved, and he opened the conversation box and talked to Stephen endlessly. The two talked about human customs from astronomy and geography, and from humanistic customs to women's boobs and buttocks.

To be honest, although Hua Li Lang was a tough keyboard warrior on the Internet in his previous life, he was an out-and-out sling in real life. Although slings are not the same as stuffy gourds, many slings can not say anything to strangers except for those who can talk endlessly. Hua Li Lang is the same, Stephen's enthusiasm seems to have brought him back to the junior high school and primary school of the year, when he was an out-and-out chatterbox, people in front and behind were harassed by him, and he once sat in a legendary special position. However, when he was in high school, a rural baby from a poor ravine came to the city rashly, and he began to adapt to all kinds of difficulties. He couldn't interject about the topics discussed by his classmates, and he didn't know what pop songs and stars he had, and he was despised wherever the turtle was, and after being despised countless times, his turbulent heart finally calmed down.

Talking to Stephen reminded Hua Li Lang of his lost youth, and now that he thinks about it, whether he is happy or sad, it has become the best memory. In this other world full of dangers, the feelings of the past life can no longer be found. With the change of time, as I become more and more psychologically mature, the person I once hated and loved has become the tiniest fragment in the long river of memory.

From talking to eating, and then to bathing. Lying in the bathtub of Stephen's house, enjoying the gentle service of a few delicate little maids. Some people are pinching their shoulders, some people are scooping water with a spoon, Hua Li Lang pulls a face towel and puts it on his face, and falls asleep by the bathtub with his eyes closed. The fatigue of the previous days was swept away, and Hua Li Lang enjoyed this rare comfortable day with peace of mind.

The little maid asked without a sentence, and Hua Li Lang answered without a sentence. In the misty mist, Hua Li Lang seemed to hear something, he suddenly startled, and the splash of water scared the little girls around, Hua Li Lang turned his head and scanned the surroundings, and said viciously to the maid: "You go out quickly!" ”

The maids did not dare to disobey the order, and bent down and exited the house. Hua Li Lang got up and got dressed, pulled his wet hair in a bun casually, and after walking out of the door, he saw a rare figure in the garden. Hua Li Lang refused to follow the servant, he walked into the garden, and followed the figure farther and farther.

came to the foot of a rockery, and the figure in front stopped. After Hua Li Lang approached, the man in front turned around and asked, "Can you show General Galen's letter?" ”

Hua Li Lang heard that it was Tyrokos's voice, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Tylokos asked, "Did Stephen mention when he would take us to the master of the Brotherhood of Ashan?" ”

Hua Li Lang was ashamed and replied: "After talking for a while, I forgot to remind Stephen." ”

Tyrokos sneered: "General Hua touched your body, is General Galen's letter still there?" ”

Hua Li Lang stretched out his hand and touched his clothes, and then his face changed. He clearly remembered to put the letter in his inner pocket, because it was quite troublesome to open the Taiyi Spirit, so he couldn't take and put the items at will, and the letter was to be handed over to the owner of the Yashan Brotherhood, and Hua Li Lang didn't put it into the Taiyi Spirit.

Hua Li Lang hurriedly turned around: "I'll go look in the house!" ”

Tylokos followed: "I'll go with you." ”

When the two returned to their lodgings, Tyrokos suddenly paused when he stepped through the door, turned to the waiter at the door, and asked, "Have you ever entered General Hua's room after he left?" ”

The waiter shook his head: "I haven't waited to enter." ”

Hua Li Lang walked into the room and glanced left and right, and soon came to the bathroom, swept to the place where the clothes were placed, and a letter was lying quietly on the ground. Hua Li Lang hurriedly picked it up and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to lose it in the house." ”

Tyrokos sneered beside him: "You are careless for a while, are the maids who serve you also careless?" ”

Hua Li Lang was stunned for a moment, and still asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Tyrokos snorted coldly and said, "General Hua, don't forget the purpose of your and my trip to Ashan, since you have found the letter, why don't you immediately ask to see Stephen and ask him to meet the master of the Brotherhood?" ”

Tyrokos's tone was not very good, but Hua Li Lang didn't care, and stuffed the letter back into his pocket: "It's okay, I'll go see Stephen." ”
