Chapter 29, Falling Cloud City

Unlike the time when the Hokage World went around and around for most of the day, this time Chen Ming and the others only found a way after only turning around for about ten minutes. After walking along the path for a while, two figures appeared in the distance.

Seeing this, Chen Ming and the others hurriedly surrounded them, wanting to get some information. There were two people, one old and one young. The old man was skinny and dark-skinned.

The other person is a sturdy man, with a body of muscles and a height of about two meters, which makes Zhang Xiaolei envious.

When Zhang Haoyi saw the two of them, he leaned forward enthusiastically and asked, "Yo, uncle, what are you doing here?" ”

When the old man looked at it, a strangely dressed person suddenly appeared and interrogated him. And the man was carrying the boss's bow on his back, and he was a little frightened.

I saw him trembling all over, and said hesitantly: "Official, am I taking my eight-year-old grandson down the mountain to sell charcoal?" ”

Zhang Haozhi looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and said to the old man: "Why are you selling charcoal in this weather?" Big sun, does anyone buy it? ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face: "Don't you know, sir, our family lives in the mountains, and we rely on this charcoal fire all year round to make a living. ”

"But this winter, I don't know how to drop, the weather is not cold at all, but the scorching sun is scorching, and people are going to be dried into dried meat. You say, how can I live if I can't sell this charcoal? Now I can't open the pot at home, so I have to pull the charcoal fire down the mountain to see if anyone is willing to buy it. ”

When a few people heard this, they looked at each other, and they all understood that the scorching sun was probably the ghost of those demon clans. It's just that I didn't expect the demon clan to be so powerful that it can manipulate the weather, and the enemy this time should not be underestimated.

Zhang Haozhi continued to ask: "Old man, you said that you still have an eight-year-old grandson, what about others?" ”

The old man pointed to the big man next to him and said, "Isn't it right here?" ”

"Why is this eight years old?" , Looking at the tall man who was more than two meters tall, everyone said in unison.

The old man explained: "My grandson has grown faster than the average person since he was a child. Last time, a quack doctor in the city actually said that he had demon blood!. ”

"Tell me, do you dare to believe this? How can a good person be a demon? ”

Hearing the old man say this, everyone was aware. The doctor may not be wrong, I'm afraid one of the child's parents is a demon. Tsk tsk, this cross-racial love.

Not wanting to discuss this issue with the old man anymore, Chen Ming hurriedly asked the key to the matter: "Uncle, are we the Crazy Dragon Dynasty?" ”

"yes, what's up. Aren't you from the Tatsuno Army? The old man asked rhetorically.

"No, we're planning to join the army."

When the old man heard this, he waved his hands busily: "It's broken, it's bad." You guys, oops! You are not the Tatsuno Army, how dare you take weapons and walk on the road. Go quickly, or I will not see you. ”

After saying that, the old man pulled the car with his grandson and left without looking back. Look at the old man and his eight-year-old grandson who slowly walked away and finally disappeared on the horizon. Everyone seemed to understand something.

This dragon dynasty seems to be quite feudal, and the hierarchy is quite strict. Civilians like Lao Han can't even carry weapons privately. With such a serious class division, the contradictions must be very great. From this point of view, the chances of the demon clan winning are not small.

If it's only an ordinary demon, it's okay, but there are also demons who have opened their minds. And the mysterious woman from before also took refuge in the demon clan.

If they take advantage of the contradictions on the Terran side, then the chances of victory on their own side will be greatly reduced. Thinking of this, several people discussed.

As a result, there was no good way to discuss it for a long time. So I had to follow the traces of the old man just now, and then find the city first.

The three of them walked for a long time under the sun, and finally found a city. Naturally, they were stopped by the guards at the city gate.

A soldier in red armor stopped the three men with a spear and asked, "Stop, why are you here?" ”

By this time, everyone had already put away their weapons, so nothing major had happened. After some questioning, the guards let them in.

When I entered the city, I thought it would be a bustling scene. But the scene in front of him reminded Chen Ming of a poem: Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!

Where the eye can see it alone, there is a differentiation that is visible to the naked eye. There are dignitaries and dignitaries on the avenue who are gorgeously dressed, followed by a few small Si serving tea and pouring water.

The roadside was crowded with ragged beggars. All of them were yellow and thin, and they could only shrink into the shadows under the eaves, avoiding the scorching sun.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ming and Zhang Xiaolei were full of emotion. But Zhang Haozhi is accustomed to it.

Seeing Chen Ming and the two stunned in place, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of the two of them and said, "What? Haven't seen this face-to-face? Is your original world harmonious? ”

"There are so many worlds, and it's just a small scene like this. I was stunned, and I would have to see a world that subverted the three views in the future? Alright, let's go, let's go and get information first. ”

After listening to Zhang Haozhi's words, Chen Ming and the two came back to their senses. retracted the surprise in his eyes and followed Zhang Haozhi to continue walking.

I have to say that this world is really quite peculiar. In addition to the divergence seen earlier, many of the scenarios are also different from those of Earth.

The rich drive away strange creatures that can't be named. Buildings of a novel style stand on both sides of the street. Chen Ming and the others walked into what looked like a tavern.

Using a few coins looted from an alley, the three of them ordered a few glasses of wine and sat in the corner listening to the exchange of natives in the shop.

Listen to the people in the tavern. Chen Ming et al. obtained the following information:

1. The Terrans know that the demon clan is about to attack.

2. The Terrans are recruiting troops.

3. It is no secret that the demon clan is undercover, and the human race has mastered the method of detecting the demon clan.

4. The name of this city is Luoyun City, and a young genius has appeared in the city. Two days later, the Imperial City will send an elite team to take this person to the Imperial City for special training.

Knowing this, everyone made a plan. The current task is only to join the army, and there are no other requirements.

But this kind of camp war is obviously not going to end so soon, it is bound to be a protracted war. Therefore, entering the imperial city, it is inevitable to negotiate with the top leader of the camp.

And there's a great opportunity right in front of you. That was the young genius in Falling Cloud City.

When the elite arrives two days later, as long as they show their strength, there is a high probability that they will be able to enter the imperial city together. As mentioned earlier, the Terrans have mastered the method of detecting humans and demons. This can also rule out the suspicion that Chen Ming and others are undercover agents of the demon clan.

So, after some discussion, several people reached an agreement. Join the army first and gain the trust of the elite in a few days. Then take the opportunity to show your strength and go to the Imperial City.

After having a basic plan, Chen Ming and the others didn't plan to stay here any longer. After a little inquiry, I found an inn to rest.

The next day, Chen Ming and the others got up and came to the street. Looking at the recruitment notice posted on the wall, Chen Ming said to Zhang Xiaolei: "Xiaolei, why don't I arrange for you to do something else?" ”

Zhang Xiaolei asked puzzledly, "Why, Brother Chen?" Didn't you say that you should join the army first? ”

Without waiting for Chen Ming to speak, Zhang Haozhi preemptively replied: "Didn't you see what the notice said?" Those with stunted growth below 1.65 meters are not recruited. ”

When Zhang Xiaolei heard this, he raised his head and pointed at Zhang Haozhi's nose and said, "Who are you talking about, who is stunted?" I'm only eighteen years old, so it's good to grow up again. Besides, you're not much taller than me, less proud! Someday it will surpass you. ”

Chen Ming, who provoked trouble, became a peacemaker at this time: "Okay, okay, stop a little." The top priority is to sign up first. As for Xiao Lei's height, it is not a problem. ”

"I guess this Crazy Dragon Dynasty is also afraid that its strength will be weak and it will waste weapons, equipment and food. Now Xiao Lei's strength is here, and joining the army is not a problem. ”

When Zhang Xiaolei heard that Brother Chen actually helped him speak for the first time, he also nodded again and again and said: "That's it, don't look at me as a novice, it's not certain who loses and who wins when we fight." ”

Zhang Haoyi saw that the two of them joined hands to deal with him, and he had no choice but to raise his hands to show surrender. "Okay, okay, I can't talk about you, now let's go find a place to sign up."
