Chapter 479: The Enemy Meets
The Last City is an abandoned place in the northern part of the city-state, which is not very old for a hundred years, and it still retains some buildings from the period of the city-state.
When Fu Heng and the others first arrived here, it was just picked up and refreshed, and busy people were erecting beams, repairing roofs, and building houses on the skeletons of those century-old buildings. In the past, this kind of thing was rare in the Eastern Wilderness, after all, in the face of a harsh living environment, only a group can keep warm.
But now this situation abounds throughout the territory of the ancient city-state, because people have a tendency to speculate.
The news of the victory of the Qi army in the west has come back, as long as anyone with a brain knows that the next big Qi will become the master of the entire Donglai, and its next goal is to annex the ancient city-state.
In the face of the Great Qi that even the cadres can defeat, who can resist the entire ancient city-state, and honestly surrendering the city is the only way to survive and even absorb the wealth.
Of course, although there is only one way to go, smart people can choose their own way, such as whether to surrender empty-handed to accept the arrangement, or to hold some surrender chips, and get rich after exchanging.
In fact, there is no need to compare, if you think about it carefully, you should know that the nature of dedicating the city and land and food can be favored and rewarded, and what can you get with a mouth empty-handed?
Therefore, at this time, the big and small forces of the ancient city-state, like a demolition household, as long as they have a little ability, all of them have walked out of their residences, opened up deserted cities in the wilderness, and desperately grabbed land, even if they were just nominal city lords. This momentum of reclamation is more than ever.
Interestingly, the abandoned cities in this part of the city-state can really meet their needs.
The relics left by the ancient and middle ages are not counted, so it is said that the city-states of all ethnic groups in those years are not a small number of cities. The relocation of the twelve cities and the relocation of the city, the vacant buildings are already many, coupled with the natural disappearance of the population, the area of today's ancient city-state is not an exaggeration to describe it with a sentence of ten rooms and nine emptiness, and it can definitely satisfy the desires of these people who want to toss.
And it's not too much trouble, just pull a group of people out and repair the remaining buildings so that they can live in. If it was in the past, people from other cities might still be obstructed by the city lord, as for now, the Qi army has been beaten to the Wannian Pass, most of the Daqian mines are abandoned, and millions of mine slaves are homeless, all of them have fled to the ancient city state to beg for food, and the population is not too large. If you really can't do it, you can go to the mountains and forests to catch mountain people, in short, as long as you want to do it, there are many ways.
The end city in front of me is like this, looking at the dense busy figures, I am afraid that there must be two or three thousand people, and there are groups of miner slaves and displaced people on the road who have gathered and been brought into the city, it is difficult to imagine that this is the industry that the other party has run in two or three months.
Fu Heng and the three of them casually found a rag and wrapped it around their bodies, mixed in the ranks of the homeless people, and marched towards the end city.
On the way, Fu Heng looked at the bustling team around him and sighed a little: "Actually, it is not without benefit for these people to engage in enclosures and robbing populations, at least the displaced mine slaves have a place to stay, and they can be resettled nearby, so as to avoid the bad luck of starving to death and burying themselves in the belly of demons, it can be regarded as a meritorious deed." ”
"What Mr. Fu said is yes," Wei Hong also sighed with some emotion, only at this time can he realize the true meaning of making people by creation, if he and others encountered this good thing, they would not be lost with their relatives.
"By the way, Mr. Fu, what are you going to do after you enter the city?
"Yes. ”
Fu Heng's answer was concise and to the point, but Wei Hong was a little stunned.
"Aren't you afraid it's a trap?"
Fu Heng's eyes flashed and said: "I haven't done anything worth paying attention to along the way, so I have searched for his whereabouts in the northeast cities, and the news should not spread to the west so quickly." If the other party is really so well-informed, then ......"
Fu Heng didn't finish saying "then", but Wei Hong already had some understanding. In the ancient city-state where the traffic has just been smooth, the spread of information is very backward, and even if the city lords have some special news channels, they will only be activated when they encounter very important things.
If Hao Tu could really learn of Fu Heng's arrival in advance, it would mean that his power in the ancient city-state was unimaginable, so what revenge would he have, just lie dormant and wait for the Qi army to clean up the other party.
It's just that everyone knows that this is unrealistic, and if such a powerful person appeared in the ancient city-state, it would have been integrated and unified long ago.
Of course, it is not excluded that the other party will know by chance, but the probability is too small.
Thinking of this, Wei Hong couldn't help but think of Changqinghong in Dongyu City, and prayed in his heart, hoping that the city lord would just habitually keep secrets for guests.
Walking into the city with the crowd, the city managers came to pick them up, and simply placed them in the newly built house, and one person gave out a steamed bun and a bowl of rice soup that could be used as a mirror, and then ignored it, and went out to do his own business by himself, and was very busy.
Fu Heng first looked around, tightened the rags on his body, and said to Wei Hong: "Master Wei, you and the six monkeys will stay here for a while, and I'll go out to check." ”
In fact, he is not afraid that this is a trap, not because the artist is bold, but because the death of the little shark girl has made him see a lot of things, so that he doesn't want to think too much about everything like in the past, and now all he wants is revenge, or being killed by the enemy, nothing else.
Pretending to be here, it's just that I'm afraid that the map will run away first when he hears the wind, so that he can't find the other party. But when he first entered the city, he found that the whole city was in a dilapidated state, and only one building in the center had been repaired and renewed, and with his knowledge of the map, his people must have been there, so there was no need for any disguise.
"Mr. Fu, please take care of yourself, we will also go to see the road later, and when Mr. Fu gets it, there will be a foil." ”
Wei Hong knew his own affairs, and understood that although he had been promoted to the fifth grade with the help of Fu Heng, he had reached the peak of the middle grade secret magician, but he still couldn't help much at Fu Heng's level, so he still didn't want to be a burden to the other party, and stayed here to listen to the road, maybe he could also play a role in the escape after the defeat or the event.
Fu Heng wanted to say no, but he couldn't refute Wei Hong's kindness, so he nodded, turned around and walked out of the house, and entered the cramped street outside.
There were already a lot of people in rags clothes walking around here, after all, they were not prisoners, and the administrators naturally did not imprison their freedom, but they were too busy for a while to arrange their work.
Because of the narrowness of the street, it seemed a little crowded, and it was not too abrupt for Fu Heng to wrap himself in rags and blend in.
After a few steps out of this area, the road surface of the outer gate is much wider, and on it walk the administrators of the end city and the coolies carrying stones, earth and wood.
Fu Heng didn't take off the rag wrapped around his body, but untied the heavy sword he was carrying behind him and put it on his shoulder. The heavy sword was also wrapped in a thick dirty cloth, and with its size as a door panel, it was really impossible to tell that it was a sword from the appearance alone, so he mixed in with the coolies and walked all the way forward.
The end city is not big, and the scope of repair is only so little, almost after walking a street, Fu Heng arrived at his destination.
In the past, it was the residence of a small clan, not big or small, and it looked like a courtyard for more than ten years, and there were three-story dock walls inside, which was a characteristic of the Eastern Wilderness. There are also some construction parts in the courtyard, so the management is relatively lax, and no one stopped Fu Heng with this appearance, so he walked in in like this.
However, he did not go straight to the dock wall in the center, but carried the "door panel" along the corridor between the courtyards and walked here.
As I said before, what Fu Heng is afraid of is not a trap, but a plan to escape, with the current scale of the end city, if a map blindly escapes, unless there is a big killing, it will be difficult to stay, as long as he drills into the crowd, Fu Heng will have no choice. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the environment in advance.
It's just that as soon as he turned a corridor, a few people came over, and seeing the appearance of the leader, Fu Heng hurriedly lowered his head.
It's Chai Qi, a leader who left with the map.
As he walked at this time, he complained to a person beside him: "The city lord doesn't know what to think, why did he come to the end to build a city? This place is indeed close to Taiyi Pass, but it is even closer to the wild wasteland, it is a paradise for ancient beasts and demons, it is not able to recruit anyone, and it is dangerous." It was nice to go a little further west to Fiji, where the buildings were so good that we didn't even have to work hard to settle there. ”
"Brother Chai said cautiously, now that he is the city lord, it is better for us to take care of some things than at the beginning. ”
The person who spoke, Fu Heng also knew, was another ringleader, Liu Fang, who had always had a good personal relationship with Chai Qi.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't he just relying on the favor of bringing us out of the big glacier? Now he even dares not to see us, you must know that he can have today, it is not because of us, it should be repaid, we have already paid it back, it is a big deal, it is a big deal, it is a big time, it is a great era of change in the Eastern Wilderness, and we are terrific We also pull a gang of people out to rebuild the city, and we have lived the addict......ion of being the city lord."
Chai Qi and his group walked away from Fu Heng as they spoke, not caring about Fu Heng's existence at all, workers like this haven't seen too much in the past two days.
When they walked away, Fu Heng slowly raised his head, and there was a flame of hatred burning in his eyes, and it was already certain that the figure was really here.
In fact, Fu Heng didn't hate Grace so much, even if the other party knocked him into the dust and almost killed him, he could treat him with a normal heart, but when Grace died in front of him, all this could not be measured with a normal heart.
He also knew that there might be some anger in the air, but he needed a channel to vent the grief and anger that had accumulated up to now.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate anymore, and walked step by step in the direction of the dock fort where Chai Qi and the others came.
