Chapter 60: A Day Tour of Zhenhai City
The meals in Zhenhai Houfu are also very simple, just like the home-cooked food of the old humans, ordinary three dishes and one soup.
"I really can't figure out what this Hou Ye is rebelling for, life is still very frugal."
Wang Hao secretly complained to himself while eating, from his own experience, no matter the new world or the old world, the first thing to do after gaining power is not to enjoy? And this Hou Ye, whether it is a residence or a common habit, looks not much different from an ordinary family in the old era.
Speaking of which, this Zhenhai Marquis Mansion is not as large as the previous Huangfu Yun's mansion in the Flame Volunteer Army. Could it be that this guy is really ready to do his best to build a new era of harmony?
But now is not the time to feel the feelings, Wang Hao ate a pot of dry bowls, burped and picked his teeth and lay in the courtyard to bask in the sun.
It seems that the plan of exercising after the meal will not be realized, Huo Shishi's kid was called away in the middle of eating, and now he can't find anyone if he wants to fight.
After taking a short rest, someone from the Hou Mansion sent a message to Wang Hao to wander around Zhenhai City at will, and Ming said that Hou Ye summoned him.
"Summoned? Hmph, this traitor really thinks of himself as an ancient prince and nobleman. Wang Hao smiled coldly.
In the first two years after escaping from the community, he survived because he joined the Flame Volunteers.
In less than two years in the Volunteers, I even saw a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope that the old humans could stand up to the new humans and gain the right to survive in the new world. At that time, he even thought that it was even possible for the Flame Volunteers to overthrow the new human rule in the Eastern world and restore the glory of the old human race.
Not only himself, but many people in the Flame Volunteers at the time thought so.
It was also at that time that Wang Hao made a group of friends. It is also his last friend in the new era.
That year was the peak of the Flame Volunteer Army, winning a hundred battles, not only capable of defense, but even organized an expeditionary force to fight all the way to the capital of the Northwest State!
The number of soldiers and civilians of the Volunteers reached 1.5 million. You know, the total number of old humans left on the earth is only four million.
The soul of the Volunteers, the pure-blooded human Emperor Fuyun and his ten direct generals, are regarded as lifelong idols by every old human teenager.
Among these teenagers, Wang Hao is included.
However, all of this came to naught due to Huangfu Yun's sudden defection to the enemy!
In just half a month, the tide of the battle took a sharp turn, the Flame Volunteers who once shocked the eastern world fell apart, most of the soldiers died in battle, the main strongholds were lost continuously, and the capital was defeated.
Wang Hao escaped from a stronghold, and he will never forget the expressions of his comrades-in-arms in the stronghold.
In the years of wandering life since then, Wang Hao has no friends, no trustworthy people, and it is from that time that it is difficult for Wang Hao to fully trust anyone.
Later, I heard some rumors about Huangfuyun intermittently, some true and some false, and there are different opinions, but one thing is certain: a large number of volunteer civilians were given by Huangfuyun to the new humans as "blood slaves".
Since then, the old humans in the Eastern world have had two enemies who do not share the same sky, Huangfu Yun and all the new humans.
Huangfu Yun came first, because in any era, traitors are far more hated than enemies.
"Zhenhai City?" Wang Hao sneered, such a majestic name, a name dyed with the blood of old humans.
It may be a psychological effect, Wang Hao looked at the elegant courtyard in front of him, the green vines spread, the white walls and red tiles, and always felt that there was a smell of blood in this house, and the vivid faces of the comrades-in-arms a few years ago skipped from their minds one after another, and they stared at themselves, as if asking themselves why they didn't avenge them?
Although he didn't know why Huang Fuyun let him go out for a walk, Wang Hao still left the Zhenhai Hou Mansion and sat in the Hou Mansion, feeling very depressed.
Along the park path, I walked casually to the city.
When I entered the city, I was greeted by a smell of the old times.
First of all, people, the streets are hurrying to and fro, are all old humans, hawkers, women who go to shopping malls, white-collar workers at work, 99% are old humans, their way of life, and the old era is almost no different, people come and go, a vibrant look.
Occasionally, a few new humans were able to swagger through the market, while the other old humans did not panic at all, and they didn't look strange.
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems."
Wang Hao looked up at a guard tower not far away, there were many such towers in the city, and there were superpowers on them. It was evident that most of the attention of the superpowers on the guard tower was focused on the new humans in the city.
From the city's point of view, it seems to be a paradise for old humans.
But Wang Hao believes that this is absolutely just a faΓ§ade. The rulers of the new human race will never allow a million-sized city of old human beings to grow and grow under their noses, this is a matter of principle.
Huangfu Yun is awesome, but there are not no masters among the new human beings, there are more than a dozen grand dukes and three princes in the Eastern World alone, all of whom are masters who have comprehensively surpassed the ninth order, and even legendary masters and demigod masters may not be able to say.
So this vibrant city always makes Wang Hao feel a little weird and indescribable.
If you want to know more about the customs and some characteristics of the city, the easiest way is to chat with your brother.
With his own questions, Wang Hao took a taxi.
The driver was a little fat man and asked enthusiastically, "Where is the boss?" β
"Let's take a walk, it's the first time I've come to Zhenhai City, and it feels quite fresh." Wang Hao felt that there was a door, and this little fat man was very talkative at first glance, and then asked casually: "Oh, can you take the money of the new human race?" β
"Accept it, why don't you accept it." The fat man smiled: "There are only seven or eight hundred thousand people in Zhenhai City, and it is not enough to make its own currency, and the money of the new human beings is our currency here." β
Starting with money, the topic gradually deepened.
When passing by a traffic light, Wang Hao pointed to a new human being waiting for a red light not far away, and asked in a low voice: "Why are there new humans here, aren't you afraid?" β
The driver glanced at the man in surprise and said with a smile: "Brother didn't know for the first time, in our Zhenhai City, the new humans are more honest than the old humans, and they also abide by our laws, let alone hurt people." β
"Won't it?" Wang Haoqi said: "We are their food, the food on the street, can the new humans endure it?" And the new humans are more powerful than us, and we can't resist it at all if we have bad intentions. β
"If you can't help it, you have to endure it!"
The driver laughed, his laughter was full of pride, and he pointed to the guard tower in the distance: "See, those are all masters of the Zhenhai Hou Mansion, if a new human dares to make a mistake, they can kill them immediately." Of course, we can't bully them, otherwise we will be punished. β
Speaking of this, the driver seemed to think of something from the past, sighed and said: "In fact, when Zhenhai City only began to develop a few years ago, there was no charter at that time, and there were new humans who came to fish in troubled waters and killed many of us. That's when my brother was killed. β
"And what happened next?" Wang Hao probably guessed that Huangfu Yun's courage was really not ordinary, and he was actually doing things under the hands of the new humans, while blatantly suppressing the new humans.
Sure enough, as Wang Hao expected, the driver snorted coldly: "I don't dare to say it in other places, this is Zhenhai City, why is it called Zhenhai City, it is because there is Zhenhai waiting for his old man!" After Hou Ye knew that there were new humans who were in trouble, he immediately sent people to arrest all the new humans who killed people, and roasted everyone with high ultraviolet rays! β
"Cow!" Wang Hao gave a thumbs up, and then asked: "But the people who were killed were all little minions, if they met a new human nobleman with a family background, Huang Fuyun would dare to kill them?" β
The driver glanced at Wang Hao and said unhappily: "Little brother, you are here for the first time, you can't call Hou Ye's name in the future!" β
Wang Hao nodded, it seems that the people in Zhenhai City still have a lot of respect for Huangfuyun.
Seeing Wang Hao nodding, the driver continued: "What about the nobles?" Worse death! β
"How?"
When it came to the aristocracy, the fat driver was a little frowning, and he was excited: "Haha, speaking of which, this was a miracle in Zhenhai City back then, and the Hou Ye sent three generals under his command to arrest all the family patriarchs with noble backgrounds and burn them to death in front of the whole city!" I remember very well that day, there were a dozen honorary knights, seven or eight barons, three viscounts, and even one marquis, tied to the stake and roasted with ultraviolet rays! β
The fat man smacked his lips: "That's a marquis, a big man who can manage a province, and he died in front of us ordinary people!" Since then, no new human has dared to go wild in Zhenhai City! β
"Didn't anyone retaliate?" Wang Hao asked.
The driver smiled mysteriously: "You passed by a barren meadow when you entered the city, right?" β
Wang Hao nodded, a few hundred meters outside the city, there was indeed a small grassland, the weeds were waist-deep, like a moat in front of Zhenhai Chen. But does it have anything to do with your own problems?
"Do you know why the weeds grow so luxuriantly in that place?" The driver raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know." Wang Hao shook his head, he thought it was quite strange at the time, it stands to reason that such fertile land should be used for farming, how could it be full of weeds.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao couldn't help but show a shocked look on his face, could it be
Seeing that Wang Hao's face changed, the fat man smiled: "You can guess it, hum, of course there are people to retaliate, during that time, it was a first-level alert state all day long, and the old and young went to the city to defend the whole time, Xiao Zhan doesn't remember how many times he fought, even I slaughtered a new human with my own hands!" As for the Great War, you know the Grand Duke of the Southeastern States, right? β
"Yes!" Wang Hao nodded, the Grand Duke of Southeast China is one of the four first-class Grand Dukes of the Chinese Empire, holding the position of speaker of the parliament of the Southeast State, and the entire Southeast State is composed of five provinces, which is the most populous and economically developed territory in the Chinese Empire.
It is said that the Grand Duke himself was a master of the Holy Domain at the beginning of the New World, a noble one such as blood unity, absolutely unlimited potential, and a hardcore supporter of the King of Huaxia, it can be said that whether it is personal force or the comprehensive strength of the family, it is the Chinese Empire, and even the Eastern World is superb.
"It's the Grand Duke who personally leads the team!" The fat man recalled the battle of that year, and sighed: "Obediently, then I have seen what it means to be elite, a full 5,000 superpower troops, all above the third order, and more than 30,000 auxiliary soldiers, it is said that one of the three major guards of the Grand Duke, the dinosaur crocodile battalion, has come, and has been fighting around the city for half a month!" β
Since Zhenhai City is still standing on the shore of the East China Sea, the outcome of this battle is already obvious, but Wang Hao still can't help but ask curiously: "What is the result?" β
The fat man laughed and pulled up a pair of trousers: "Look! β
Wang Hao looked down, one of the fat man's right legs was actually fake, and he couldn't provoke a blow up on his scalp, this guy is really bold, and he still drives with a fake leg?
"I also participated in this battle and broke a leg!" The fat man said proudly: "The result is naturally that we won, although the process is also very tragic, we killed two generals in the battle,." In the end, the old man of the Hou Ye personally took action, in front of the soldiers on both sides, a kilometer away, and flattened the helmet on the head of the Grand Duke of the Southeast with a sword, and laughed and said: "If you dare to come again, take the head!" βγ β
Hearing this, even if he and Huangfuyun were enemies of life and death, Wang Hao couldn't help but boil his blood, and a scene appeared in his mind: an old human in white clothes fluttering, standing proudly at the head of the city with a single sword, a sword out of the sheath, and millions of enemy soldiers retreated.
Slightly excited: "And then? β
"Haha, there's no then!" The driver smiled: "Since then, no new human beings have dared to cause trouble in Zhenhai City, and Zhenhai City has become an autonomous city!" β
"The meadow outside the city is where people are buried?" Wang Hao asked.
The driver nodded: "Yes, tens of thousands of people were killed on both sides of this battle, and the Grand Duke of the Southeast is not a soft persimmon, although we are defending the city, but the number of people killed on both sides is almost one to one, Hou Ye and his old man said, whether it is a new human or an old human being, after death, it will be a human being, so he sent someone to bury all the corpses of both sides in a mile outside the city, that is, as a warning to the new human race, it is also a remembrance." So that piece of land is very fertile, but no one goes to farm, and after a long time, it is all barren grass, and we call that piece of land a corpse beach. β
After listening to the driver's introduction, Wang Hao didn't speak for a long time.
On the one hand, there is a new understanding of Huang Fuyun's combat power, and it can be said that the existence of Zhenhai City is actually completely based on Huang Fuyun alone;
On the other hand, Wang Hao had a trace of worry about the future of Zhenhai City.
The car drove for a while, and the driver suddenly looked at his watch and said apologetically: "Little brother, it's my turn to donate blood today, I have to go to the blood station before five o'clock, why don't you get out of the car first and go shopping by yourself?" β
