Chapter 343: Snowfield City
Shao Xuan is very wary of Shi Shu, such a person who can provoke war quietly is too dangerous.
From Shi Shu's words, Shao Xuan felt that the "decline" of the tribe should be related to the slave owners, and if you want to find some secrets of the slave owners, it is not only Yanling City.
Of the three major cities, in addition to Yanling, there are two other ones.
It is said that Snow Plains City has started a war with Fire Hill City, and it is not known how Shi Shu will lead the disaster to the east. In any case, the current Snow Plains City is also relatively chaotic, and since Shi Shu has already attacked Snow Plains City, he naturally won't let it be much calmer.
As you can tell from the name, Snow City is located in a place similar to the desert of Colosseum, and there is a lot of ice and snow throughout the year.
When Shao Xuan came to the boundary of the area under the jurisdiction of Snow Plains City, he was greeted by the white snow, and some red and purple flowers blooming on the snow. Presumably, these plants are unique to Snow City.
Compared with the desolate Colosseum, there are indeed a lot of plants on this side of the snowfield.
A team of about 200 people who rushed over just now should have gone to the battlefield. Everyone has a stern sù or sorrow on their faces, and the successive wars have caused them heavy losses, and the current king, as if he is crazy, looks like he wants to fight with people all the time, and no one dares to refute the king's orders, and the king says to continue fighting, and they must continue to fight.
Even the people of the three cities have been calm for a long time, and suddenly there is a war, or a large-scale continuous battle, and no one can bear it.
When Shao Xuan came over, he saw a lot of bones, some of which had been buried in the sand, and some of which were only partially buried. Many of the bones that were thrown there were eaten by the scavengers and only bones remained, and they looked quite desolate.
Shao Xuan collected some clothes from slaves in Snow Plains City along the way, and the clothes of low-grade slaves were not much different.
After a few days of lurking around, observing. Shao Xuan saw an opportunity to sneak into the end of a patrol team when it was dark.
The slave who walked in front of Shao Xuan was already very sleepy, and he didn't notice that there was anyone behind him, so he only yawned and followed the person in front of him.
The leader of the team didn't pay much attention either. I only went to guard around, and I didn't notice that there was another person in the team.
Seeing that the gate of Snow Plains City was approaching, Shao Xuan pulled the cloth hat on his head, which was actually a long strip of cloth wrapped around his head. This was a hat worn more often by lower slaves, and it was very common. And Shao Xuan's face was also deliberately dirty, showing fatigue, looking similar to other slaves.
The guards in front of the city gate glanced at the team, but they didn't notice anything wrong, and looked at Shao Xuan, who was still yawning with a tired look on his face at the end of the team. The guard was glad that at least he didn't have to run around in front of the city gates, and these people who were patrolling outside were like sleep deprivation every day, and they didn't have any energy at all.
It was getting late, and they had come back from a patrol, and they were all busy going back to rest, and no one had the heart to talk to the others.
The system here is not perfect. There are many loopholes, which is convenient for Shao Xuan.
After following this team into the city. Shao Xuan found an opportunity to sneak into a sand house.
The people walking in front of Shao Xuan in the patrol team seemed to notice something, but when they looked behind them, they didn't see anything abnormal, and they felt that they were probably too tired and confused, so they didn't care much.
The sand house where Shao Xuan was located had no door. The people living inside had already been cannon fodder in the war and did not come back, so Shao Xuan temporarily settled there, hiding and waiting for the opportunity.
No one came in the evening, and the night grew deeper. There were also a lot fewer people moving outside, there were no lights, and the moonlight was not as bright as it was when the moon was full, but it also cast a not-so-obvious black shadow under the houses.
The people in the city were tired from the ongoing fighting, and except for the night patrol, the others went back to their houses and began to sleep.
Compared to the snow city in the past, it is much bleaker now.
Shao Xuan came out of the sand hut, avoided those patrolling the city, and sneaked towards the center of Snow Plains City.
The palace in Snowfield City is similar to Fallen Leaf City, and it is also very high-profile, but it is much larger in scale.
The guards near the palace are much stricter, and Shao Xuan can't sneak in for the time being, so he has to find an opportunity. Therefore, Shao Xuan first found a good hiding place and waited for the opportunity.
The hiding house was much larger than the previous sand huts, and was mostly made of stone, and the closer to the palace, the larger the building.
This room is used to store wine, and Shao Xuan saw a lot of wine jars.
The wine is not sold here, but is used as a reward, and when the slave has made a meritorious deed and is rewarded with wine, the slave comes here to receive the reward.
There were three men in the house who were in charge of the tavern, and they were already asleep. Shao Xuan chose a place to store the goods and hid in it.
After looking at the furnishings and layout of the house, Shao Xuan guessed that there should be five people in charge here, two of whom were transferred out to join other teams, leaving three people in the house.
Not only those in charge of the wine house, but also in other similar places, there are people who are transferred to patrols or guard the city gates, and even worse ones will be transferred to the ranks of foreign wars, the war consumes a lot of manpower, and can only be filled with slaves who work in the city, these people are not skilled in business, even if they work in the city, they do not suffer like that, how can they not complain? The consequence of passive sabotage is that there are more loopholes, so that people like Shao Xuan have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
The barware looked like it hadn't been used for days, indicating that the person who had come to receive the reward hadn't shown up for several days. Thinking of the battle situation in Snow Plains City that he had heard before, Shao Xuan also understood that if he was defeated one after another, where would he get the reward? Even if someone really made meritorious contributions, but on the whole, the slave owners were not in the mood to reward them.
Hurrying all the time, hiding, and guarding, Shao Xuan is also tired, it is rare to find a temporary place to stay now, he plans to take a good rest and replenish Yan Zòng's depleted mental strength. Of course, even if you are asleep, you must have the necessary precautions, and it is impossible to sleep deeply.
He came to Snow Plains City to find the "history" of Snow Plains City, and there is a special place for "history" in Fallen Leaf City, Su Gu told Shao Xuan. And Snow Field, one of the three major cities, should also have similar places. Shao Xuan hopes to find more information from the history of the snow field to answer the doubts in his heart, and if he can see those "history", maybe he can explain Shi Shu's words.
Although the slave owners attached great importance to those historical records, they valued Cheng Dù much less than the tribesmen, and even when they recorded them, they would make great changes, belittle others, and promote themselves.
While Shao Xuan was resting, in the high palace of Snow Plains City, the Snow Plains King lifted the table again, the delicate wine glasses and tableware were scattered on the ground, and the wooden table that had just been made was also blown to pieces.
"Yanling City is too deceitful!" the Snow King looked gloomy, and his green muscles were prominent. He had just received a letter from the Lord of Yanling City, saying that he should stop it in moderation and not let the war continue.
"Lao Tzu's war with the people of Huoqiu is none of his business! They don't say anything, and they teach me a lesson in turn?" the King of Snow Plains was furious, "No, maybe among the people who stole things, the people from Yanling also participated!"
Thinking of this, the King of the Snow Plains was even more aggrieved, the nuclear seed, that is the nuclear seed, it was actually lost! Thinking about the successive defeats, he trembled with anger. At first, he was angry with the tribesmen and wanted to exterminate the tribesmen of the desert, but when he got the news that the tribesmen had already slipped away, he withdrew all his energy to deal with the others.
Unbeknownst to the Snow King, the timid little minions in his eyes had already taken the nucleus and were spying on their "history". (To be continued......)
