Chapter 19: Preparation
A lot has happened in the city in recent days.
First of all, the captain of the South Gate Guard was found dead in the alley, and the corpse still had a few strands of hair wrapped around its neck.
Then the captain of the North Gate Guard was found dead in the prison at the North Gate of Snow City with three of his men, and it is said that the three prisoners broke free and killed four of the guards and escaped, but it is unknown how the three prisoners broke free.
A few days later, the news of the assassination of a large sum of money came from Yuehua Mingzhu, and for a while, the entire Xuelu City was panicked.
"Did I recruit all of you to come for rice!" Wu Tian was very angry.
"The city lord is angry, we must hurry up and strive to catch the thief as soon as possible." The soldier bowed his head, he was the newly appointed captain of the North Gate Guard.
"Then don't go check it out!" Wu Tian said angrily.
"Ming...... Got it. The new captain nodded quickly and turned to leave.
"Wait." Wu Tian suddenly stopped him.
"Is there anything else going on with the captain?"
"Have you seen Mo Hu recently?"
"Commander of the Tiger Regiment, Mo Hu? He has been missing for many days. "Mo Hu's dispatch to the frozen ground was a secret mission given by Wu Tian, and others naturally thought that Mo Hu was missing.
"Alright, get out." Although Wu Tian knew that Mo Hu was not missing, he had been going to the frozen soil for a little too long.
β¦β¦
I still remember that a few days ago, just after Wang solved Mo Hu, he suddenly said that he wanted to return to the world with Yuya and Quiton, and Yuya and Quiton were also very surprised, why did Wang suddenly want to come back from the frozen ground?
When they asked, the king said only one thingβ"I want to see what I can be." β
For Yuya and Kuiton, Wang has indeed changed a lot, his whole temperament has matured a lot, and he is no longer as immature and arrogant as before, perhaps because of the loss of divine power, Wang not only behaves in a low-key manner, but also becomes a little deeper, sometimes even Yuya doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart, it is difficult to figure out and predict.
Feathercliff and Quiton decided to follow the king, after all, it was the king who saved their lives in the tundra.
The king's change is not only in his heart, during this time in the frozen ground, the king's hair has grown very long, and he has not cut it off, but just let it be scattered there, and even cover half of his face.
In the past few days after returning to Snow City, the king has been very leisurely, and every day he takes Feather Cliff and Quiton to wander around the various taverns in Snow City, and he does not drink, but just sits there, sometimes for an afternoon.
"Wang ...... What are we doing here? Quitton asked.
Wu Tian wanted the king's life, so it was still very dangerous for them to continue to stay in this snowy city, Yuya had proposed to leave this place, but the king insisted on staying.
"Quitton, do you know the key to survival?" Wang said.
"What do you mean?" Quitton looked confused.
"No matter where you are, it's very important to have all the information around you, and to understand the rules everywhere, you can find opportunities to achieve your goals in the rules." The king looked at Quidon's appearance, and he continued, "I need to gather all kinds of information about Snowy City right now for planning, and the tavern is the biggest information place in this city. β
Wang is a top hunter, trapping and seduction are his art, and all of this is inseparable from the control of the surrounding situation.
This was the king's experience, and he never doubted it, because these were the answers he had tried with his life.
"But what you can find out in this tavern may not be the truth." Yu Ya said.
"Whether the information you hear is true or not, you have to write it down, and when you inquire about enough information, it is possible that these seemingly scattered stories will be coherent, and then use your own logic to judge whether it is true or not, and whether it is worth using."
As he spoke, Wang's eyes kept on another table of customers not far in front of him, the two strong men were talking, Wang's hearing was very good, and with the movement of their lips, he could vaguely understand the content of their conversation.
"Have you heard? A new fugitive said that the imperial court was going to clear the city. β
"No, isn't Xueluo City fully handed over to the City Lord Wu Tian? The city lord, he also has an official position in the imperial court. β
"What's the use of having an official position, the emperor is going to be replaced, and the nominal official position of the city lord is a joke at all."
"The lord of the city is the number one master in Ouchi."
"Don't be funny, the city lord is already a person from the previous era, Wu Yidao has always been getting older and retreating, although Wu Tian has nearly sixty years of skill, but his actual combat ability has begun to regress, the title of the first master of Ouchi...... He may no longer be worthy of his name. β
"If you want to say that the imperial court is attacking, how many unsightly things has Xuelu City done over the years."
"Alas, that's what I said, I don't know how many girls Hua Mingzhu kidnapped that month."
"After all, this Xuelu City is an extralegal place, and how many fugitives from the imperial court come here every year, I feel that this is the prison of the northern country."
"No, or let's leave Xuelu City quickly, we are not fugitives, don't be suppressed by the imperial court at that time."
"That's right, then hurry up and clean up."
The two strong men left the tavern in a hurry.
"Interesting." Wang touched his chin.
β¦β¦
"King, where are we going next?"
"Change taverns."
"......" Quiton and Feather Cliff were speechless for a while, but they still chose to continue to follow the king.
When they passed by a gloomy tavern, the king did not go in.
"King, isn't there one in the tavern?" Quitton asked.
The king did not answer him, but looked at him with a strange expression.
"Uh, is there a problem?" Quitton asked.
"This is not a tavern." Wang said.
"Not a tavern? But it had ...... written on it," Quitton gestured to the word "wine" hanging above the building.
"The dim light, this is the recognized camouflage of Snow City, in fact, this is a place where women are trafficked, they are all kidnapped, and the good-looking ones will be bought, and the ones that no one wants will be thrown into this kind of place for rent."
"How can there be such a thing in Snow Blossom City?" Quirton was a little surprised.
"Xuelu City is a place outside the law, and it is full of guilty fugitives and bloodthirsty warriors, do you still expect them to chant sutras and worship the Buddha?" The king continued, "I was disgusted with this kind of behavior, so I was about to report their crimes to the imperial court, but unfortunately I was caught by the lord of Snow Castle, and then he banished me. β
"That's ...... so"
In fact, the first thing the king wanted to do after returning to the world was to destroy Xuelu City, but the imperial court seemed to be one step ahead of him.
In that case, he has to help the court.
"Forget it, the situation in Xuelu City is almost investigated, it's time to start acting."
"So what are we supposed to do?" Feather Cliff asked.
"Come here......" Wang attached himself to the two of them to assign tasks.
After the three of them dispersed, the king's plan began.
