Chapter 1158: Shadow City
Chapter 1158: Shadow City
True to its name, the city's uniform black architecture makes the city's color palette unique, and the snow on the roofs of the houses gives the city a quaint and very quiet feel. Just looking at the houses, the whole city shows a quiet and deep beauty. Underneath the house, the wide streets were bustling with people and traffic, and the noise was in harmony with the hues of Shadow City.
As the imperial city of the former Yunze Kingdom, on the surface, the prosperity of Shadow City seems to be completely unaffected by the changes in the current situation, and there is no sense of danger when walking in the city, it really seems to be a good place to make people willful and chic. If it weren't for the fact that he saw a lot of ragged beggars in the city, Lin Xuanzhong really felt that there was nothing wrong with letting the Shadow Organization rule this area.
After the two entered the city, they went all the way to the middle of the city, and the shops and inns that came and went seemed to be doing very well, especially the kind of Fengyue place was even more prosperous. The guests at the door came in and out, and each one had an expression of impatience or satisfaction on his face, which looked very harmonious.
There were many welcoming women standing at the door of those Fengyue places, all wearing heavy makeup and smiling faces, greeting those guests enthusiastically, and that enthusiasm was nothing more than saying that they liked what they were doing.
The more he watched, the more Lin Xuanzhong's heart felt, all in all, on the surface, Shadow City was no different from other ordinary cities, and the people who came and went in the city were no different from those in other cities, the key was that it was a bandit organization that led the city.
"Brother Feng, let's find a place to rest," different from Lin Xuanzhong's mood, after entering the city, Zhang Yulong has been concerned about their safety, but along the way, he didn't find anything worth worrying about, it seems that this city is not as dangerous as he imagined.
"Well," nodded, and Lin Xuanzhong, who came back to his senses, asked lightly, "Yulong, where did you go to inquire about the news?"
"Of course, it's to go to those Fengyue places. ”
"Why?"
"Usually people come and go in and out of that kind of place, and they can get a lot of information, and it's a place where information flows, and not only can you get all kinds of news there, but it doesn't attract attention. ”
As if he was very experienced, Zhang Yulong's words were simple and reasonable, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to go to that kind of place.
"Is there anywhere else to go?"
"Those inns and taverns with good business are fine, but you may not be able to inquire about the news you want from Brother Feng, as for the underground black market you mentioned before, maybe there are really people who sell news there, but that black market is the territory of the Shadow Organization, and you will definitely attract attention if you inquire about other people's news there, so it's best not to go to that kind of place. ”
Regarding the matter of inquiring about the news, on the way to Shadow City, Lin Xuanzhong mentioned it to Zhang Yulong, and according to some of what Lin Xuanzhong said, in this regard, Zhang Yulong already had his own opinions.
"Find an inn to stay in first, and I'll talk about it later," Lin Xuanzhong had no way to refute Zhang Yulong's explanation, but he was still a little resistant to going to that kind of Fengyue place in his heart. As for why he has resistance to that kind of Fengyue place, this is related to some of Lin Xuanzhong's recent experiences. The women who were rescued in those mines before gave Lin Xuanzhong the concept of chastity, and made Lin Xuanzhong understand that some women attach great importance to their innocence, so the women who are good at showing off their amorous feelings in Fengyue place make him very uncomfortable.
"Okay," Zhang Yulong had no objection to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions, after all, he was just playing the role of a son, and the person who really made the decision was Lin Xuanzhong.
It didn't take long for the two of them to find a relatively large inn, and then deliberately ate in the hall with many guests, listening to others talk about Shadowcity while eating, trying to get useful information from it.
It's a pity that after a meal, Lin Xuanzhong didn't meet someone who was as good at talking as Zhou Leyu and liked to brag about what he had seen and heard, but as Zhang Yulong said before, the Shadow Organization is a taboo topic in the city, and few people say anything related to the Shadow Organization, which means some inconsequential things, and this makes the two of them nothing.
However, it is worth mentioning that in terms of fun, those people know a lot, what are the interesting places in the city, they know it clearly, especially when talking about those Fengyue places, they show a happy attitude one by one, which makes people feel a kind of disgust for no reason.
"Brother Feng, I didn't expect that the most famous Oiran in the city turned out to be the princess of the previous dynasty, should we go and see the demeanor of the princess Qianlan?" After coming to the guest room, Zhang Yulong, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, showed a high interest in that kind of Fengyue place.
"I'll talk about it later," the lack of useful information just now had already made Lin Xuanzhong understand that he had to go to that kind of Fengyue place, but now Zhang Yulong's ulterior motives made Lin Xuanzhong unable to agree directly, but Lin Xuanzhong knew very well in his heart that the sooner he found out the news, the better it would be for them, after all, Feng Zhan and Qian Ying were still waiting in the mountain bandits, and they didn't know if the Shadow Organization had any moves, so the sooner they went back, the better.
Since it was still early, the two of them rested in the room, Lin Xuanzhong sat on the bed and meditated, and Zhang Yulong rested listlessly on the table, so he waited until the evening.
"Brother Feng, let's go out for a walk," After lying on his stomach for almost two hours, Zhang Yulong, who was originally full of energy, was already a little sluggish, and finally waited until the evening, and when he saw that Lin Xuanzhong had the action of getting up, Zhang Yulong immediately said his thoughts for the afternoon.
On the other side, after an afternoon of consideration, Lin Xuanzhong, who had no other choice, could only agree to Zhang Yulong's suggestion. So, after a brief tidying up, the two of them hurried downstairs with their things, and then took them away to the bustling place in the city.
"It's just the right time, Brother Feng, let's go to the largest Liuxiangfang in the city and have a look, maybe we can get all the news we need there," After nightfall, the Shadow City seems to be more lively than during the day, and in the dim lights, the streets are full of men and women, coming and going, talking and laughing, people can't help but want to blend into this atmosphere, and Zhang Yulong wants to go to the largest Fengyue place in the city to have a look.
"Okay," he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, and now he was in a hurry to inquire about the news, and Lin Xuanzhong couldn't agree or not. So, after the two inquired about the specific location of the Liuxiang Fang, they went straight all the way to that place and soon arrived there.
From a distance, the brightly lit Liuxiangfang was bigger than the inn they were staying in, three stories high, and some shouts and laughter came from afar, and guests kept entering the door.
As they continued to walk forward, the two of them also noticed that the people who were going to Liuxiangfang like them were all full of spring breeze and hurriedly walking.
"Two distinguished guests, please," the woman standing at the door was really enthusiastic, and before the two of them walked to the door, a bewitching woman had already waved a handkerchief to greet them, and after greeting the two, she directly grabbed the brightly dressed Zhang Yulong, and kept squeezing Zhang Yulong with her body, squeezing Lin Xuanzhong, who was side by side with Zhang Yulong, had a numb scalp, but Zhang Yulong looked very enjoyable.
"You're quite lively!" Xiaoxiao crossed the threshold, looking at the scene of men and women hugging and playing in the brightly lit hall, Zhang Yulong directly put on a broad posture.
"Our Liuxiangfang is very lively every night, I think it's the first time for the childe, right!?Childe rest assured, our girls here are like flowers, and we promise to make the son happy," the woman is an empathetic person, and when she saw Zhang Yulong's posture as a son, she immediately came to give a warm introduction.
"That's good, that's good?" Immediately after, Zhang Yulong couldn't keep his mouth shut.
That easy way to cope made Lin Xuanzhong understand for the first time that Zhang Yulong must have been in and out of this kind of Fengyue place more than once. Thinking about it simply, Lin Xuanzhong knew that it was when Zhang Yulong was in Cloud City.
"Qin Meng, Qin Fang, come and greet the two distinguished guests," After bringing the two to the hall, the woman who received the two called out to the two women who were walking towards them, and then said to the two of them: "Enjoy the two distinguished guests, if you need anything, just tell them." Saying that, the bewitching woman pretended to let go of Zhang Yulong's hand reluctantly, and then gave Zhang Yulong a meaningful smile.
"Good, good, good," he agreed without disappointing the other party at all, Zhang Yulong had already chosen what he liked from the two women who came over.
"You brutes, you deserve death for mutilating the princess," and just as the two were about to be taken away by the two women, an abrupt and angry voice came from behind them, and the startled two turned their heads.
"What's going on?" out of curiosity, Zhang Yulong asked the bewitching woman who hadn't left yet.
"Although the two guest officers go in and enjoy it, I'll take care of the outside affairs," Facing Zhang Yulong's inquiry, the bewitching woman's face was obviously a lot colder, and the change in her demeanor made Lin Xuanzhong feel that what happened outside must not be a trivial matter.
"Two sons, please come with us," but when the two wanted to see what was going on, the two women named Qin Meng and Qin Fang had already come over, and they took their arms and went inside.
The appearance of the two women is relatively good, but it is much worse than some people Lin Xuanzhong knew before, especially in temperament, but it still makes Lin Xuanzhong feel a strange body.
