Early the next morning, the weather in Summer Palace City was still fine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Lin Huang got up, he received a notice from the alliance government.

"In recent days, there have been a series of murders in Summer Palace City, the stronghold of 7B61, and the truth has been ascertained. The murderer was a mentally abnormal felons who escaped from the Summer Palace prison, and a total of fifteen people escaped, twelve of whom have been captured. The remaining three are still being hunted, so please don't panic. ”

"In order to prevent criminals from escaping out of the city, the four gates of the current summer palace city will start martial law investigation from now on, and please cooperate with the investigation. Patrols will also be strengthened in the city, and a curfew will be enforced after 8 p.m., so please refrain from going out. If you have something important to go out, you can apply to the local government before 5pm......"

"Sure enough, the truth was covered up......" Lin Huang raised his eyebrows after reading it, the announcement of the alliance government shows that the matter is quite serious, to the extent that it has to be dealt with.

After having breakfast with Lin Xin, Lin Huang rode the Qinglin wolf all the way towards the west gate of the stronghold.

Lin Xin watched him disappear all the time, and then followed Bai back to the hotel room.

When they arrived at the west gate of the stronghold, the city guards were inspecting, and there were long queues to go out and enter the gate.

Lin Huang had no choice but to take back the Qinglin wolf and line up.

I came out of the hotel at eight o'clock, and when I got out of the city gate, it was already close to ten o'clock.

Summoning the purple-eyed white eagle, it took less than ten minutes for Lin Huang to arrive at Xiaoxia City.

Xiao Xia Castle is a small D-class stronghold.

According to common sense, at a location that is only more than eighty kilometers away from the B-level stronghold Summer Palace City, there should be no other strongholds. Because the establishment of each base requires a lot of resources, it is a waste of resources to establish a base at such a close distance.

However, due to the existence of the ruins of the summer palace, the Union government still established a special stronghold here.

The initial purpose of the establishment of the stronghold was not to develop a tourist area, but for archaeological needs.

Before the establishment of Xiaoxia City, there was a wild area near the ruins of the summer palace. Archaeologists have lived here for a long time, and it is easy to be attacked by monsters, and it is inconvenient to need any resources, so they have to go back to Summer Palace City, which is eighty kilometers away, every time. Therefore, the alliance government simply spent a lot of money to build a small stronghold around the ruins of the summer palace, which is now the small summer city.

Later, groups of archaeologists left, and basically everything that could be moved in the ruins of the summer palace was moved. The Confederate government felt that it was a pity that the stronghold that had been built with a lot of resources was abandoned, and simply developed it into a tourist attraction.

The ruins of the summer palace itself are mysterious, and with the propaganda of the Union government, it has really become a popular attraction.

As the attractions became popular, and the geographical advantage of being close to the summer palace city, many people from other places also relocated to settle here, and with the policy support of the coalition government, this small stronghold became more and more lively.

Entering Xiaoxia City, Lin Huang thought that he had come to the wrong place, because the liveliness of this D-level stronghold was not weaker than that of the domineering city of the C-level stronghold. I don't know if it's because of the tourist attractions that cause more tourists, or because it's relatively close to the summer palace city.

After entering the city, Lin Huang re-summoned the Qinglin wolf, opened the map positioning of the Emperor's Heart Ring, and quickly found the location of the ruins of the Summer Palace.

The hotel he had booked the night before was less than a kilometer away near the south gate of the ruins of the Summer Palace.

Following the map, Lin Huang quickly found the location of the hotel. He also found that the area of Xiaoxia City was really not small, almost four or five of them were the size of Wulin Town, close to one-third of the domineering city.

When I arrived at the hotel, it was not yet half past ten. Lin Huang originally thought that he had come early and couldn't check in, but when he asked at the front desk, he knew that he could check in.

The hotel is a small antique building with only five floors and no floating ladders.

After checking in at the front desk, Lin Huang stepped on the wooden stairs and went upstairs.

The staircase was a little old, and there was a creaking sound coming from stepping on it, but it was cleaned.

Lin Huang's room was on the fifth floor, and the room number was 505, and he went all the way up to the fifth floor, only to find that there were only five rooms on the first floor. Excluding the first floor, there are actually only 20 rooms in the entire hotel.

"Is it the off-season?" Lin Huang felt a little surprised, it was the summer vacation period, and it stands to reason that there should be quite a lot of tourists. A hotel with such a good location, and so few rooms, is not full.

opened the door and entered the room, the environment in the room was quite quiet, which made Lin Huang quite satisfied.

This room is a viewing room with a balcony facing the direction of the ruins of the summer palace.

The ruins are sunk into the ground, and there are no taller houses around, so standing on the balcony overlooks part of the ruins that are wrapped in a protective layer.

Standing on the balcony and watching for a while, Lin Huang went out, and as soon as he went out, he met a young couple staying in the room next to him.

When he went down to the first floor, he saw that the middle-aged shop owner with a slightly chubby figure was at the front desk, and he said hello, "Boss, is it the off-season recently?"

"Just had summer vacation these days, and people who came to travel would go to Summer Palace City to play for a while before coming to our side, so business was average during this time. You came early, so there are vacant rooms, and if you wait another three or five days, it will not be easy for you to book a room with us again. The shopkeeper explained with a smile.

"So that's ......" Lin Huang originally thought that there were other reasons for the bad business of this hotel, but listening to the owner's explanation, it really made sense.

"Boss, I see that this hotel has been open for some years, you should have been in this Xiaoxia City for a long time, right?" Lin Huang continued to greet again.

"I've been here for more than 20 years, and I've been running this hotel for 18 years. The shopkeeper smiled and nodded.

"Then are there any legends and stories about the ruins of this summer palace that we outsiders haven't heard?" Lin Huang asked again, "Tell me about it." ”

"The ruins of the summer palace have always been mysterious, and there really aren't many legends about it. However, I have been here for so many years, and I have heard people mention that if you are interested, you can also listen to it as a story, but it is not necessary to be more serious. ”

Lin Huang nodded, and the shopkeeper told the story.

"It is said that in ancient times, there was a strong man known as the Xia Emperor who established an empire, and the ruins of the Xia Palace were his palace. His people numbered billions, and he was loved by them. As a result, one day, disaster struck from heaven. I don't know what happened, overnight, the entire empire disappeared, and so did Emperor Xia and his palace, as if they had never existed...... Of course, no one knows whether the summer palace that disappeared in the legend is the summer palace of the ruins. ”

After listening to the shopkeeper's story, Lin Huang was silent for a moment, and hurriedly nodded with satisfaction, "I really haven't heard this story of yours, are there any other stories?"

"No, the rest are already circulating on the Internet. The boss spread his hands and shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll go to the ruins. Thank you, boss!" Lin Huang turned around and left, walked out of the door of the hotel, and walked straight towards the south gate of the ruins not far away.
