Chapter 235 Entering Qingcheng for the first time
The history of Qingcheng is longer than that of Liangcheng, but not much, about ten years before and after, because the urban planning was done at the beginning of Jingcheng, the age is relatively recent, and the urban pattern is very similar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Zhen and Xia Fan chose the West Gate, and on the way here, they met a lot of people, especially after entering the dense forest belt.
There are people who are alone and observe the trees, not knowing what they are studying; There was a man and a woman picking weeds, as if they had come out for an outing; There were people with axes and saws who walked out; There were strangely dressed men with weapons and went inside; There are also reconnaissance patrol soldiers wearing long plackets and carrying steel crossbows occasionally passing by.
There are many people of all kinds, but they have one thing in common, that is, when they see them, they will look up and down, look at their faces carefully, although they are not staring, but they are still easy to make people feel uneasy.
Chen Zhen wore a mask, even the residents of Paradise Town couldn't recognize him when they saw it, and he came to the gate of the West City safely, and saw that there were many more soldiers in the city gate or on the city wall than in other cities, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy, not only those who entered the city would be examined, but even those who left the city would be stopped and questioned.
"Why is it so tight?" Putting the tax money on the table, Chen Zhen asked the captain of the soldiers guarding the city gate.
The captain of the soldier held a wanted warrant in his hand, and carefully compared the appearance of Chen Zhen and the portrait on the paper, this is a new wanted warrant, that is, the one that captured Chen Zhen alive and gave five million lion coins, and even the reward for reporting was increased to 500,000.
The portrait is also more similar than the one in the past, if there is no mask, Chen Zhen will definitely not be able to pass this level, in addition, there are several other wanted notices on the wall of the gate of the city gate, there are Yang Yan's, Zhou Ding's and Qin Shan's, the painting is also very good, familiar people can see it, and the close comparison can also be seen.
"Some time ago, there were bad people who sneaked into Qingcheng and killed a lot of people, some of whom were still mixed in the city and were being arrested, and they had to be inspected when they went out of the city and entered the city." The captain of the soldiers replied very smoothly, apparently having been questioned many times, and then asked Chen Zhen, "Where are you from?" ”
"Find a companion." Chen Zhen took out a stone hunter's qualification certificate from his arms, handed it to the soldier captain, and directly answered the next question of the soldier captain: What is the matter with Qingcheng.
This is a fake certificate, and it is also a real certificate, the fake is fake on the name of the hunter team, the stone hunter team does not exist, but the certificate is real, it is a certificate that Zhao'an helped to handle, Xia Fan brought it and handed it over to Chen Zhen.
The Lonely Tomb Hunter Regiment already has a reputation, especially after "visiting" Yucheng and repelling the black shadows, the fame has gradually spread to other cities, for fear that someone will associate Chen Zhen with the blindfolded man - this is a matter of time, Yang Yan asked Zhao'an to make a false certificate to avoid causing more trouble, after all, the main purpose of coming to Qingcheng this time is to find out the news of Qi Yunxiao, and should not be disturbed by other things.
Yang Yan had already guessed that the situation in Qingcheng would be more severe.
Looking for a companion is also true, Fang Wei also brought such a document, the first thing they did when they entered the city was to find Fang Wei, they had never been to Qingcheng, but they made an appointment to go to the city center at eight o'clock, eleven o'clock, fourteen o'clock, seventeen o'clock and twenty o'clock every day, if one party had something, the other party would leave if they couldn't see anyone for ten minutes, so as not to delay things, and also to ensure their smooth convergence.
Stone hunters are running all over the continent, and the hunter group that regards Yangcheng as the center of their activities may also come to Qingcheng, and the captain of the soldier checked the qualification certificate, and said: "Let's say it first, it's an extraordinary time, and if you want to go in, you can't come out at will, if you have anything outside, you can do it first before you go in." ”
"Nothing else." Chen Zhen withdrew his qualification certificate and was about to walk towards the door.
"Wait." The captain of the soldiers reached out to stop him, pointed to his hand, and asked, "Why are you wearing gloves?" Take it off and I'll take a look. ”
"Can't?" Chen Zhen raised his head and stared at the soldier captain.
"Yes, I just want to take a look." The captain of the soldiers also looked into Chen Zhen's eyes, his gaze met in the air, and the temperature around him seemed to drop a little.
The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately stared at Chen Zhen, their hands pressed on the weapons on their waists, and Xia Fan also straightened his waist and looked at those soldiers.
Chen Zhen raised his hand and first took off his right hand glove, revealing his hand.
"That one." The soldier captain pointed to Chen Zhen's left hand again.
Chen Zhen put his right-hand suit back into his pocket, pinched the fingertips of the glove of his left hand, and ripped them apart one by one, just from the action of taking the glove, it can be seen that his left hand is different from his right hand.
Eventually, the entire glove was removed.
"Oh......"
The soldiers behind saw Chen Zhen's hand and let out a slight exclamation.
The hand was red, the skin was glued to it like melted wax, there were no fingernails, no fingerprints, no palm prints, and it didn't even look like a hand.
It was a sign of a severe burn, either a fire burn or a corrosive acid burn, and the soldiers preferred to believe the latter, because this was a stone hunter who must have fought a lot of big bugs, and there were many big bugs with venom.
This terrible, somewhat disgusting-looking hand is naturally Mr. You's masterpiece, usually don't wear it, so as not to break it during battle, it is very useful to pass this kind of tight level, seeing this hand, anyone can understand the reason why Chen Zhen wears gloves.
"It's rude, please come in, but for no special reason, please don't go out of town too often." The captain of the soldiers got out of the way.
Chen Zhen nodded and walked into Qingcheng with Mr. You.
Qingcheng gives people a feeling that is somewhat similar to Yangcheng, except that the smell of the sea in the air is stronger, the buildings are newer, due to the increase in soldiers, the people are afraid for no reason, there is not too much noise on the street, but the occasional child's crying sounds.
"I heard that you want to live honestly, using a mask and a fake hand to disguise yourself, can it be considered honest?" Walking beside Chen Zhen, Mr. You suddenly asked.
Because of Shada's relationship, they rarely talk, although the agreement to have the ability to cooperate, although there is an excellent tacit understanding during the battle, it does not mean that they need to maintain a good relationship, and the days of living together in the cave are gone.
Chen Zhen glanced at her with some surprise and explained: "I want to live a simple and honest life, it doesn't mean that I can do this, I want to remove the disguise, but the current situation does not allow me to be too honest, with my current ability, I can only adapt to this world, I can't wait for this world to adapt to me." ”
Xia Fan thought thoughtfully, lowered his head and walked for a while, and said, "I have never asked you, why do you set such a goal?" ”
"Because in my previous life, my life was never simple, killing people when someone placed an order, beware of others killing people when they didn't kill, whether it was killing or not killing, I had to always disguise myself, so I wanted to live a simple, peaceful life, and I wanted to try what it would be like to live honestly." Chen Zhen looked around, as if he was looking for someone, but in fact, he was observing whether anyone was following them.
Naturally, he would not hide from Xia Da and Xia Fan in his previous life, it was Xia Da who rescued him, and he got along with the father and daughter for so long, and he never hid anything from them, including the good and evil he did in his previous life.
After listening to Xia Fan, she also didn't say anything, just silently, walking beside her with her head down, the last time they were alone was a year ago, in the ruins next to Liangcheng, that time she had the opportunity to kill him, and further on, there were still countless sneak attacks and assassinations.
Until they got on the railroad steam locomotive, the two did not speak again, looking at the scenery outside the car window and paying attention to the people around them.
Chen Zhen didn't see that anyone was following him, and the people who peeked at them were just curious, one was wearing a black coat, and the other was wearing a leather coat and a cloak, strictly speaking, it couldn't be considered too bizarre dress, and the color was not bright, but it was eye-catching.
They got off the bus near the center of the city, walked in silence for a while, and at eleven o'clock they came to the vicinity of the pillar.
There is a garden next to the pillar, and further inside is a fence, guarded by soldiers, which is similar in every city, and the pillar is not allowed to be touched casually.
After walking around, they didn't see Fang Wei, and when it was eleven o'clock, they left Tianzhu and went to find a place to eat nearby.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, I went around the city center, but I still couldn't see Fang Wei, but I saw Zhou Ding.
"We found an inn on the edge of the city to stay for the time being." He seemed to be in good spirits, had traveled a long way, and finally reached his destination today.
"Let's go, go to you." Chen Zhen decided to find a place to stay first, so that there could be something wrong or something wrong, no matter what it was, until they got accurate information, they could only meet in this way.
The inn is not big, Zhou Ding chartered a suite, Chen Zhen and Xia Fan only opened two single rooms after they arrived, their "identity" is different from Zhou Ding and his wife, and the setting is only a member of the hunter group, and it is impossible to stay in a suite for a long time like a couple.
At five o'clock, Xia Fan went to the center of the city alone-Chen Zhen was wearing a mask, and Fang Wei couldn't recognize him, and this time he couldn't find Fang Wei either.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that the four of them went for a walk in the center of the city after eating, and then they saw Fang Wei, who was wearing a long shirt, and became a soldier in Qingcheng.
"I go to work, I start at 8 a.m. and go until 5 p.m., so I can't get to the center of the city." Fang Wei said with a smile.
Within a few days of coming, he was able to blend into the soldier organization, and his efficiency was high enough.
"I happened to be still recruiting when I came." On the way back, Fang Wei said with a smile.
When he came, Qingcheng was recruiting, of course, it was a temporary worker, after a very strict review, it was determined that there was no problem, and he could join the soldier team, so there would be so many soldiers guarding the city wall, Fang Wei was from Jingcheng, and he had a military qualification certificate, so he went in smoothly, and today he was on duty on the section of the city wall between the north gate and the east gate.
