Chapter 26: The Emerald City

"It's strange, how the people in the restaurant disappeared overnight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "I got up early in the morning, after Ye Qing called for a long time, I found that no one responded to the greeting, and after searching the entire restaurant, I found that all the people were gone, whether it was the boss or the guy, even the other guests disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty building, empty and a little weird.

Ye Qing sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what it was. The experienced old horse sensed that this was a conspiracy against them, but unfortunately he didn't know what the specific conspiracy was.

It's just because it's so clean that there is not even a trace of a fight at the scene. The old horse searched for a long time, but only found the only trace that seemed to be left over from the fight, that is, a little blood on the threshold and a few scattered teeth.

According to the degree of dryness, it is true that it was left last night, but the fight ended too quickly, perhaps there is an absolute gap in the strength of the two sides, so there are no more clues left at all, and more useful information can be inferred, and it is impossible to know more specific situations.

Lao Ma cast a suspicious gaze on the Dragon Clan Elder, and among this group of people, the Dragon Clan Elder was the one that Lao Ma couldn't see through.

Someone must have attacked yesterday, but it should have been solved by this hidden old man, and it was all solved quietly.

Lao Ma's suspicions, of course, could not hide the dragon elder's induction, but he didn't say anything.

"Wouldn't it be nice that we wouldn't have to pay that way. Ye Zhi ate breakfast with sleepy eyes and said that it didn't matter, he didn't sleep at all yesterday all night, and now he is very sleepy. Of course, the money doesn't have to be paid, on the contrary, Ye Zhi has an extra income of more than 30,000 gold coins, after all, this restaurant is now ownerless, and I don't know how it will be disposed of, it's better to be cheaper than to be cheaper than others.

"Hurry up, after eating, we still have to hurry, it's been a month of procrastination, and we haven't reached my territory yet, really. ”

"Yes, young master. "Old Ma is a little helpless, isn't this the relationship that you have been dragging on yourself, young master.

Ye Zhi's five people drove the carriage and slowly left Yuanfeng City, and the spies who secretly followed Ye Zhi's movements immediately reported to their superiors.

"The captivity plan failed. ”

"What about the fox dogs, do you have any news to report?"

"No, there is no news at all, there is no trace of them in the city of the Far Wind, and they have disappeared into thin air, as if they did not exist at all. "The spies tried their best, it can be said that they dug three feet into the ground and carried out a carpet search, but they couldn't find the fox dog and their figures, let alone people, and the corpses were not anywhere.

It's also difficult for them, no matter how they look for it, it is impossible for them to find the gourd space, not to mention that Ye Zhi has already used their corpses as flower fertilizer.

"It seems that there must be a master around that kid to protect him, and since the capture plan is unsuccessful, then carry out the assassination plan. This is Prince Ye Ming's first heir, and if he loses such a son, Prince Ye Ming shouldn't be in pain, hum. ”

Emerald Green is a general term for an area that includes the main city of Emerald City, several villages attached to the city, as well as indigenous tribes that live on hills and forests, and a dead city hidden in this forest.

That's right, it's the dead city, the emerald green land was a long time ago, there were actually two cities, but the other city didn't know what happened, the people in the city, all disappeared without a trace overnight, the whole city became a sea of flowers, countless flowers filled the whole city, and it was indeed beautiful for thousands of flowers to bloom.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the point of dead silence, and few people who have entered the dead city can come back, and even if one or two come back, they are all frightened, as if they have seen some terrible creature, and they are all frightened and crazy, and they all shout words that others can't understand all day long.

Over time, the dead city was also zoned as a forbidden place, an insurmountable forbidden area, and people living in the emerald green space did not dare to cross half a step.

Because that dead city is full of flowers, that dead city has another name, called Wanhua City.

Looking at it from a distance, it is very good to see the scene of a hundred flowers, because as long as you don't enter the city, then there will be no danger to your life, so Wanhua City has also become a scenic spot, and even a holy place for some people to pick up girls and date.

Of course, it's also a holy place for suicide, after all, there are countless people who don't listen to the old man, plus there are a large number of ignorant girls who will be confused by their beautiful appearance, and there are self-righteous, self-righteous and self-righteous children who are the illegitimate children of the goddess of luck, and are instigated by others to act rashly. It is precisely because of the existence of these 'flower fertilizers' that the flowers of Wanhua City will bloom more vividly and colorfully.

What is in Wanhua City, Ye Zhi guessed that there must be something in it, and it is also plant-based, which makes him very curious, it is inevitable to find out, but this has to wait until he takes care of the Emerald City, his own territory, can not let others make trouble.

"I heard we're going to have a new lord. "At the gate of the Emerald City, a few guards were bored guarding the city gate, chatting casually to pass the boring time.

"Yes, my aunt's cousin heard that our new lord is a child, and he is only eight years old today. Another guard said.

"No, an eight-year-old came to be our lord, this ...... Isn't this looking for death? Is your information accurate, it can't be a lie? "Eight-year-old kid to be a lord, and a lord of the Emerald Greenland, no one of these guards can believe it, because it's ridiculous.

"Who lied to you, I am a puppy. The guard was anxious, and said with a red face: "Anyway, we have a lord here, and it's not all the same if someone else is in charge, so what does it matter if an eight-year-old child is in charge?"

"Well...... the other guards were silent, I have to say, this is reasonable, it really makes no difference, anyway, the territory of the Emerald Green Land is almost the same as a puppet, in this case, it may be better to replace an eight-year-old lord as this puppet, at least others will not take this little lord as a precautionary object, then the Emerald City may be able to be a little more peaceful.

"But it's been more than a month now, and our new lord hasn't shown up yet, so I guess he won't come. "The team leader said this, he is not optimistic about the new lord Ye Zhi, the other party is too young, it is impossible to be the opponent of a few old foxes.

"That's not surprising, the other party is just an eight-year-old child, and it's normal to be afraid. A few of the guards expressed understanding, "It's just that the lord who took pity on us is still looking forward to taking over." ”

The original lord of the Emerald Greenland, after knowing the news that Ye Zhi was coming to take over, his heart could be described as ecstatic, looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for Ye Zhi to come and take over, and even the luggage was packed early, just waiting for Ye Zhi to come over. If he hadn't needed to hand over the token to Ye Zhi in person, it is estimated that he would have stepped down and left as soon as he received the news.

"Don't talk, someone wants to go into the city, stop, check, collect the city fee. ”

After a routine inspection, it was quickly released, after all, Ye Zhi's party was only a carriage, and there were no goods, just five people.

"Eleven, your territory doesn't seem to be very peaceful, and they don't look down on you as a lord. "As the daughter of the Dragon Emperor, although the little dragon girl has turned into a human form, her own sensory acuity is also retained, and the conversations of the guards, the little dragon girl heard all the words word-for-word, so she is a little worried that Ye Zhi is going to take over the territory.

"Hmph, what's the matter, I don't need them to be optimistic, I just need them to be themselves and don't stand on the opposite side of me. Ye Zhi's attitude is very simple, it doesn't matter if he is optimistic about himself or not, as long as he doesn't get in the way.

"I'll definitely support you, and if you need help, be sure to call me. The little dragon girl patted her little chest and said, looking like a righteous cloud.

"Well, I'll call you if I have the chance. "When you meet someone you can't figure it out, you don't need the help of the little dragon girl, Ye Zhi is a fool, "By the way, are you interested in accompanying me to patrol the territory." ”

"Okay. ”

Ye Zhi and Xiaolongnu got out of the carriage and walked slowly on the street, at this moment, Ye Zhi was not in a hurry to go to his lord's castle and take over everything that belonged to him, anyway, he was almost ten days late, and it didn't matter if he was a little late, didn't he?

The Emerald City is mainly divided into three areas, the slums, the civilian area and the rich area, the boundaries of the first two are not particularly clear, and the boundaries of the rich areas are particularly clear, with a street as the boundary, people who do not have a little identity and financial resources will never be able to step into that street.

Compared with the peace and tranquility of the slums and the civilian areas, the rich areas can only be described by the idioms of drunken paper gold, drunken dreams and death, as well as open and secret fighting.

In the slums, there are people who starve to death and freeze to death every day, in the civilian areas, they are beaten to death for offending the powerful, and in the rich areas, they lose the struggle and die on the streets like lost dogs.

The current situation of these three districts is silently telling, no matter how high the status, no matter how big the status, no matter how rich the wealth is, there will still be a day when they will die, and they will still die without anyone cares.

People are like this, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be disputes.
