Chapter 424: Black Feather City
It was just a matter of lightning, and it was noon, and there were no pedestrians in the heat. So it was not seen by other passers-by.
Gu Qiuyu raised his hand, motioned for everyone to stop, and stood in the distance looking at Lin Ya, not knowing why he suddenly killed someone.
Lin Ya touched the three of them for a while, and took out a small wooden tube. Throwing the bodies of the three of them into the grass on the side of the road, driving their horses away, they walked towards Gu Qiuyu's side.
When he came back, before Gu Qiuyu could ask, Lin Ya took the lead and said, "These are Qingxuan's people, who came out of Black Feather City. Then he handed the small wooden cylinder in his hand to Gu Qiuyu.
Gu Qiuyu opened the small wooden piece and found that there was a note inside, which read, "Haoyue Huizi, please report the situation in Changjian Town, Black Feather City has been prepared, there are already fifty disciples around to inspect Gu Qiuyu, and the Tao Palace Master in the city is personally in charge." If you haven't seen Gu Qiuyu, please come back quickly. If there is any finding in the city, it is called by the sound of an arrow. ”
There is also a line of small print underneath the note, as if it was added after a sudden recollection. The content is that they don't know what Gu Qiuyu's appearance is, only the portrait of ten years ago, and all the suspicious people around them must be examined.
After reading this note, Gu Qiuyu could conclude that Qing Xuan only knew that their group had come to Yangguo, but he didn't know what their purpose was.
Moreover, the Qingxuan disciples who contacted him last night may not have arrived in Black Feather City yet, and this secret letter is just an exchange between Black Feather City and Haoyue Sword, informing him of the situation in the city.
After learning of this situation, Gu Qiuyu and the others quickly marched towards Black Feather City.
Along the way, Gu Qiuyu was a lot more wary of Lin Ya. Because when the five of them left Longsword Town that night, Lin Ya had already prepared five good horses. It seems to know that five people can use it that night.
The three of them just now, obviously Lin Ya knew in advance when and where the three of them were, and even knew what clothes the three of them were wearing.
Moreover, for the pain of the three Qingxuan, the killer is completely different from the restraint in Longsword Town. Then it seems that this trip is not decided by himself, but once again controlled by others. He didn't believe that Lin Ya would come to harm him, but Lin Ya must be using him again.
At ten points in the evening, several people came to the outside of Black Feather City, and at this time there was still an hour before the door was closed, and it was also the time when there were the most pedestrians in a day.
Looking at the bustling pedestrians, Gu Qiuyu and several people dismounted and walked, all wearing a gauze scarf on their faces, covering their faces.
Due to the large number of pedestrians, there were hundreds of Yangguo's troops at the city gate, wearing bright armor and holding spears, standing neatly on both sides of the city gate. On the city gates, there were countless soldiers armed with bows and arrows.
Around the pedestrians, there were still many soldiers checking their goods, and several of them were men in brocade clothes who caught Gu Qiuyu's attention.
Some of these men stood in front of the soldiers at the city gates, while others followed the soldiers who checked the goods. But what is certain is that these people are all masters, and they have been checking the internal qi of the people around them.
Regardless of those who go out of the city, as long as they enter the city, the warriors with internal qi will be targeted by them, and they will not stop them, but just make a gesture to the soldiers at the city gate, and then there will be special people who will follow those warriors to investigate their origins.
This ability to probe the internal qi is not the Seven Peerless Seas, but a unique kind of kung fu, just by observing the every move of passers-by and detecting the internal qi released by them inadvertently. It is completely different from the Seven Peerless Seas directly probing the root cause of internal qi.
Gu Qiuyu and the others were all masters, and their control of internal qi was like an arm, and they easily avoided the eyes of those people.
Those men in brocade clothes looked at Gu Qiuyu and them, they could only think that they were people who had practiced martial arts, and they had not practiced internal qi, for this kind of person, these men in brocade clothes were really too lazy to take a second look.
The five of them passed through the thick gate and entered the city smoothly, unlike the barren outside the city, the city was simply two worlds. As far as the eye can see, there are a variety of shops and busy streets, and only the deafening sound of selling is left in my ears.
As a military and trading town, the layout of Kuroba Castle is very different from that of Fuso Castle and Rock Castle, and on the other side of the gate is a bustling trading street.
Gu Qiuyu had only heard of Black Feather City, but had never been there, and now when he saw the scene in front of him, he felt a trance in his heart, the familiar room, the pleasant dialect, and the same shop, so that he couldn't help but recall more than ten years ago, that evening when he and his sister secretly ran out, all of this is so similar.
"Black Feather City, I haven't been here for many years, and it's still so lively. ”
Yao Lao stroked the beard on his chin and looked at the scene in front of him with a smile on his face.
Lin Ya stood aside and glared at a dirty beggar on the corner of the street. Seeing Lin Ya glaring at him, the beggar picked up the broken bowl on the ground, turned around and left.
The five of them had not reached the center of the city for a long time, and it was a huge city, but on a small road someone came to the door, all of them in their thirties and forties, each with a long sword hanging from his waist, and wearing all kinds of clothes.
This also made Gu Qiuyu feel strange, he found that the warriors that the state should have strictly controlled were walking sideways everywhere in Cangguo, how could it still be like this in Yangguo, could it be that the country in Yanzhou is now so dependent on martial artists? And most of them are foreign warriors!
Several people came to Gu Qiuyu and said loudly: "Brother, do you need the help of our brothers?"
They all speak the lingua franca, and their accents are a little close to Hanzhou, judging from the expressions on their faces and behaviors, they are clearly a group of rangers. As long as you have money, these people can do anything for you.
Gu Qiuyu glanced at a few people and didn't speak, Yao Lao and Lin Ya were also doing their own thing.
Seeing that a few people were silent, the rangers noticed the tall horse behind them, and continued: "Guys, don't you believe in the strength of our brothers? ”
He paused, looked around, lowered his voice, and continued: "If the money is enough, the people of the official family can also be killed. ”
Gu Qiuyu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at a few people, he didn't expect that these rangers would say these words without hesitation. He didn't want to attract attention, and he was about to say that he didn't need a few people to do anything, so he listened to Lin Ya on the side and said: "Few, the people from the Sword Hall have also come to this Black Feather City to do business?" Looking at a few of them, they should have been here for a long time, when will you return to Mingguo, please ask Qiu Shaoling for me." ”
