Chapter 73
"I'm going to Wenfeng City, and the ghost city is not far from Wenfeng City, so I don't think there should be any danger on the way. I don't know if the reason I said is a big deal, anyway, now Lin Xuanzhong can only answer the stubble man like this.
"Then what are you going to Wenfeng City for?" Ye Yun was obviously dissatisfied with Lin Xuanzhong's answer, and asked again.
"To inquire about the news of the ghost city, I went to the outside of the city early that morning to do some business, but when I went back, there were fights everywhere in the city. Since I didn't know what was going on in the city, I didn't dare to enter the city directly, but after waiting for a long time, I finally decided to go to Wenfeng City to find out what was going on in the hidden city?"
"It turns out that you left after the Desolate Wolf Legion attacked the ghost city, fortunately you didn't enter the city that day, otherwise it would be more dangerous to meet someone from the Desolate Wolf Legion than if you went to Wenfeng City alone. It was the man sitting next to the stubble man who spoke, his facial features were decent, and his face was full of traces of time.
From this person's tone, it could be seen that they did know the news about the ghost city that day, so Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly spoke: "What is the matter with the Desolate Wolf Legion attacking the ghost city?"
"You don't even know about the Desolate Wolf Legion?" the man didn't seem to believe that Lin Xuanzhong hadn't heard of the Desolate Wolf Legion, but instead asked rhetorically.
"Desolate Wolf Legion", Lin Xuanzhong tried to think about these four words in his mind, and as a result, he really remembered some information related to them.
As the largest bandit organization in the Northern Regions, the Desolate Wolf Legion has been doing evil in the North Ridge, doing all kinds of evil! Raiding homes and robbing houses, intercepting merchants, and even slaughtering towns, and so on are not uncommon.
The Wolves have always been a feared organization, the worst enemy of any regular mercenary team. Generally, when encountering ordinary bandits, some mercenary teams can still deal with it, but if they encounter people from the Desolate Wolf Legion, they can only admit it. Thinking that he might have been too anxious just now, Lin Xuanzhong, who came back to his senses, asked a little embarrassedly, "Was the Desolate Wolf Legion fighting the ghost city that day?"
Although the Desolate Wolf Legion has attacked the town a lot, Lin Xuanzhong has not read about the Desolate Wolf Legion's attack on the city in the book. A city has at least tens of thousands of people, so how many people does the Desolate Wolf Legion need to slaughter the city, Lin Xuanzhong doesn't dare to imagine how many members the Desolate Wolf Legion has.
In addition, even if there was a battle in the ghost city that night, it would not have much impact on the change in the total number of people in the city, and there were at least 100,000 people in the entire ghost city. According to the situation of the people in Youcheng who are good at martial arts, at least half of the more than 100,000 people are martial cultivators, and Lin Xuanzhong can't imagine how many people the Desolate Wolf Legion needs to attack the city.
"Actually, it's not exactly the siege of the city, to be precise, it's the major families that are attacking the ghost city. Most of the property in the ghost city is in the hands of those families in the city, so the Wolves are only targeting those families. When Lin Xuanzhong was shocked and thought about how many people from the Desolate Wolf Legion were attacking the city, the man briefly explained to dispel Lin Xuanzhong's confusion.
It turned out that the Desolate Wolf Legion was attacking the major families in the Hidden City, and after hearing the middle-aged man's explanation, Lin Xuanzhong felt relieved.
In Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, after that night's battle, the strength of the other three families of the four major families in the hidden city was greatly reduced, and although the other families were quite numerous, their overall strength together was not very strong.
As long as the Desolate Wolf Legion does not provoke those ordinary city-dwellers, those ordinary city-dwellers will definitely not interfere in their affairs, thinking that none of the city-dwellers came forward when the three major families besieged the Lin family that night, Lin Xuanzhong could confirm this. And even if some of the city's citizens participate in resisting the attack of the desolate wolves, I am afraid that it will not change the outcome of those families.
Unexpectedly, after the three major families besieged the Lin family and lost both, they were only to be hidden behind by the people of the Desolate Wolf Legion as yellow sparrows, taking advantage of the fishermen. Suddenly remembering the camp he had found outside Dongming Mountain before, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly understood everything.
Obviously, the situation in the ghost city has long been under the surveillance of the Desolate Wolf Legion, so the people who are stationed outside Lin Wuwu must have been discovered by those people a long time ago, but the people of the Desolate Wolf Legion do not know the details of Lin Wuwu, so everyone has not encountered problems outside the city at that time.
In fact, the main force of the Desolate Wolf Legion only arrived at the garrison outside Dongming Mountain after Lin Wuwu's master left, otherwise the Desolate Wolf Legion knew that the Lin family still had a relationship with Lin Wuwu's master, and the people of the Desolate Wolf Legion would not dare to fight the Lin family's idea of evacuating the team. After thinking about it repeatedly, Lin Xuanzhong thought of many things.
"Were the people of the Lin family chased and killed by the people of the Desolate Wolf Legion that night?" Although he felt that the Lin family's evacuation team would not encounter danger, Lin Xuanzhong still couldn't help but ask this question.
"That's not true, we only heard the news that the Desolate Wolf Legion attacked the families in the ghost city and some things in the city after that, but we didn't hear the news that the Lin family's team was attacked by them. And it is said that the people of the Lin family and some strangers have arrived at a city called Surabaya City, which is hundreds of miles away from the hidden city, and we don't know what the specific situation is. ”
"Surabaya City," muttered, Lin Xuanzhong felt as if he had heard the name, then Surabaya City must be a city not far from the Hidden City. If the people of the Lin family are there, then they should go to Surabaya City next, thinking that Lin Xuanzhong's hope for healing from his injuries is even more urgent.
"Now the situation in the ghost city is much worse than before, and many other big families in the city have sent personnel to station there, and all the future business in the ghost city will be controlled by those people. Originally, a city that was slightly stronger than Wenfeng City, it is really a pity that it has become like this. The man remembered the current situation in the ghost city, and couldn't help but say with emotion.
In fact, the current situation of the ghost city is indeed impressive, if it weren't for the fact that the four major families of the ghost city have always been discordant and cannot be united, how could the ghost city not have the lord of a city, let alone encounter the attack of the desolate wolf legion, but unfortunately everything is a foregone conclusion, and it is not Lin Xuanzhong who can change it, for the current situation of the ghost city, Lin Xuanzhong can only sigh a little.
On the other hand, he didn't have much affection for the ghost city, even if the three major families didn't besiege the Lin family at the beginning, Lin Xuanzhong wouldn't care too much about such a thing.
Now the fate of the three major families is probably worse than that of the Lin family, and they have no intention of revenge, but now that they think about it, Lin Xuanzhong has no idea of avenging the Lin family, because Lin Xuanzhong doesn't know how to take revenge. To say that Lin Xuanzhong is most concerned about Qinglan's safety, it has been so long, Lin Xuanzhong really doesn't know what Qinglan's situation is now, but it's a pity that he has no choice.
Now about what happened in the ghost city that day, Lin Xuanzhong has found out clearly, and there is also news about the whereabouts of the Lin family, but there is no information about Qinglan, Lin Xuanzhong has no choice but to continue to talk to them about the attack of the Desolate Wolf Legion.
Several people in the carriage chatted for a while before stopping, and then they were idle and had nothing to do before they were running their true qi to heal their wounds.
Everything was normal outside the carriage, and after last night's battle, many people were resting now, but the man in Tsing Yi was still at a certain distance from the team with other mercenaries in charge of reconnoitring the situation, always alerting the surrounding situation.
Under the arrangement of the middle-aged leader, most of the members of the team have stabilized, and the entire mercenary team has temporarily settled down here. If nothing happens, the convoy will stay here for a few days.
With so many giant wolf carcasses there, the team doesn't have to worry about food, and everyone won't go hungry. Moreover, the corpse of the fierce beast has a long shelf life, and it is no problem to put it for more than ten days, and the meat of the tiger and lion before did not deteriorate when Lin Xuanzhong left, so the food will not be a problem.
When many people were resting, Lin Xuanzhong sat in the carriage and couldn't calm down for a long time. Sure enough, the more you know, the more problems you have, but Lin Xuanzhong's experience and experience can't meet the requirements of solving the problem, so he can only dream and hurry.
It was a long time before Lin Xuanzhong got rid of those troublesome problems and tried to calm himself down, and instead calmly used his true qi to heal himself.
After many days of care by two middle-aged women, now the true qi in Lin Xuanzhong's body is running more and more smoothly, and his injuries are naturally improving day by day.
Three days passed in a flash, and early in the morning, Lin Xuanzhong heard the sound of someone practicing outside. There was the sound of weapons swinging, and the sound of fists and palms, and when I opened my eyes and looked out the window, more than a dozen figures appeared in sight.
In fact, for three days, every morning there were people outside practicing exercises, or tempering their bodies, or practicing swordsmanship, at a certain distance from the convoy. Sometimes Lin Xuanzhong, who watched it, really wanted to get out of the car and practice with them, but his physical condition did not allow it.
It is worth mentioning that the three people who were unconscious in the carriage before have woken up one after another in three days, and two of those who were less injured have already gotten off the car, originally plus Lin Xuanzhong, a total of ten people, and now there are only eight people in the car, and the space is much larger.
According to the small talk in the past few days, Lin Xuanzhong knew that regular movement of muscles and bones was more conducive to the recovery of injuries, if it wasn't for the fact that the muscles and bones could not be moved before, Lin Xuanzhong would have followed the two people out of the car.
Now looking at those who were practicing the martial arts and practicing the moves constantly, thinking that he hadn't moved for a long time, the feeling in Lin Xuanzhong's heart that he wanted to get off the car became more and more urgent.
After letting the true qi run in his body for a few weeks, Lin Xuanzhong tried to get up, although there was still a little pain in his body, but in the end Lin Xuanzhong still stood up. Due to the long operation of True Qi, there is no other discomfort on the body except for those painful sensations. After a simple stretch, Lin Xuanzhong was about to get out of the car.
