Of course, the reason why the security in the county town is so strict is that part of it is also related to Jiaolong, a large number of martial arts people who heard the rumors flocked into the county town, large and small sects, cultivating high and low martial artists, occupying inns, and the city was overcrowded.

Of course, there are also some people in the green forest, evil sects crooked, people in the rivers and lakes have rules of the people in the rivers and lakes, and sects have sectarian disputes, everyone swarms here, and naturally there are some contradictions.

Therefore, the defenders in the city are also on standby, and several patrols have been added to maintain the peace in the city.

Of course, Fang Ling didn't worry about his residence, because there was a branch of Tianjin Silk Village in the county, and he also pretended to explain this location generously to Zhou Haicang.

Zhou Haicang saw him say such a confidential thing, and his vigilance against Fang Ling was a little more relaxed.

Since Fang Ling had already sent someone to inform him, as soon as he came to the village, the guys from the silk village immediately led the three of them to the backyard lobby.

After the man served the tea, a short middle-aged man strode in, saluted respectfully and said, "Chen Zhangtie has seen His Highness." ”

Fang Ling smiled and let him get up, and took a closer look at this honest-looking man, Zhang Tie was originally a county soldier in Feng County, and it can be said that he was the first batch of people to follow Fang Ling, so his feelings were also very deep, and later he was selected by Meng Zhiyuan and sent here to take charge of the Silk Village, secretly collecting all kinds of confidential news from the East Dome Pass, which can be described as a great responsibility.

After all, as the first fortress in the East, the East Dome Pass is by no means so easy to find out the secrets, so this silk village alone consumes thousands of silver in two months, but because the business of the silk village is very good, it can be self-sufficient.

After he sat down, Fang Ling asked Zhang Tie to introduce the matter of Jiaolong.

Zhang Tie said: "The silver lake is more than ten miles outside the county town, where the three rivers meet, there is a range of thousands of miles, the depth of the lake is a thousand feet, because it is rich in silverfish, every time the sun shines on the lake like a piece of silver light and gets its name." Many of the surrounding villages and counties have made a living from fishing, and have been fishermen for generations. Just half a month ago, a fisherman went into the lake to cast a net, witnessed a huge dragon poking out of the lake, and swallowed one of the fishermen alive, and then the dragon appeared one after another, and now there are no less than a dozen fishermen who have died in its hands. ”

Zhou Haicang groaned: "Although so many people have seen it, but the fishermen are just ordinary people after all, and they have to be shocked for a long time when they see the giant python, are they sure that this thing is a dragon?"

Although Zhang Tie didn't know who he was, when he saw that the King of Shicheng was respectful, he immediately replied: "In addition to ordinary people, there are also people from Yinhu Water Village who see Jiaolong. ”

"Silver Lake Water Village, how does it sound like a den of water thieves? Fang Ling said.

Zhang Tie said with a smile: "This water village is indeed a water thief's nest, this silver lake is vast, the three rivers converge, the lake tributaries are numerous, and there are also a lot of islands, since ancient times, there are water thieves on this island, ten years ago a water thief leader Zhuo Shangchao unified the water village here, established the silver lake water village, and now has more than 500 subordinates. ”
