Chapter 259: Tieling City
Senior brother, you have to reimburse me for my one hundred taels of gold." Yan Xiluo cried with a sad face.
This one hundred taels of gold is not much of an expense for him, mainly to bribe people with one hundred taels of gold, and he has some reluctance in his heart.
Yang Ming slowly stood up and dusted off his body.
Walking to Yan Xiluo's side, Yang Ming patted him on the shoulder: "It's hard work." As he spoke, he took out a ticket from his arms and stuffed it into Yan Xiluo's hand.
"This ......" Yan Xi was stunned for a while, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "Two hundred taels of gold!?" Senior brother, aren't you known as an iron rooster and don't pull out a hair? Why, today you changed sex?"
This 200 taels commercial ticket was given to Yang Ming by Mu Chunfeng when he was leaving, saying that it was thanks to Yang Ming that he caught the silver thread snake and iron sulfur glass, as well as the reward for the Mu family's worship.
This commercial bill is similar to the check on the blue star, as long as the amount is filled in on it, and then stamped with the gold seal of Mu Chunfeng, you can exchange it directly.
"Huh." Su Yuluo pursed his lips and chuckled, "Fool, this is the money your senior brother gave us."
"Money?"
Suddenly, Yan Xiluo thought of something, he quickly ran to Yang Ming's side and thanked, "Then thank you Senior Brother, when Senior Brother gets married, Senior Brother and I will naturally prepare better congratulatory gifts."
Yang Ming pouted and smiled, "Senior brother has a heart."
Pointing to the city not far away, Yang Ming urged, "Hurry up, you guys get closer to me, I will use my internal force to cover you in it, even if it is a plague, it will be fine."
"Thank you, sir."
Before Xiao Se and the others could speak, Zhu Baokun hurriedly came to Yang Ming's side, for fear that after entering the city, he would be infected with the plague.
After a stick of incense, the crowd went to the city gate.
The same Xuanjia man said in general, the entrance and exit of the entire city were surrounded by heavy iron walls.
"Alas~" Seeing this, Su Yuluo sighed helplessly: "In this Tieling City, Master and I have lived here for a while. This is an iron ore center near Nanjue, and most of the people living in the city are miners and their families. I didn't expect it to be like this now."
"Iron Ore!" Xiao Se was taken aback, what iron ore represented, as a prince, he couldn't be more familiar. The army needs iron to fight war, and the people also need iron to produce.
In addition to salt, iron ore is also a key material controlled by the imperial court.
"It seems that the crisis in the Imperial City of Nanjue has brought the whole country to a standstill." Xiao Se didn't believe what the general said, "As for whether it's a plague or not, I don't know."
"Whether it's or not, you'll have to be careful." Yang Ming reminded loudly.
In the entire periphery of the city, there were no soldiers defending the city, Yang Ming carried Zhu Baokun and easily crossed the city wall. The rest of the people, with their own martial arts, easily turned over.
When you enter the city, you are greeted by a rancid smell.
"It stinks." Everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses.
Yang Ming strengthened the thickness of the internal force barrier to isolate all these odors.
"It's okay now, there's no doubt that the stench is from the corpse." Yang Ming frowned and said, "It's just that this level of stench, I'm afraid it's not something that a few corpses can emit."
As they spoke, an old man in ragged clothes with a withered face crawled up to them.
He took the broken bowl in his hand and begged in a mournful voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, can you enjoy a bite of food? I haven't eaten a bite of food in half a month."
"This ......" Su Yuluo felt pity, and just wanted to take out the little dry food left from his arms, but saw Yan Xiluo's hand stop him.
"What's wrong?" Su Yuluo was puzzled.
Yan Xiluo shook his head: "There are many people around, they are all leaning towards this side, if you give out the food, we will become the target of everyone. Even if we drive them away, this old man will be the object of their jealousy if he has dry food in his hands..."
Su Yuluo also understood Yan Xiluo's intentions, doing good deeds at this moment not only harmed themselves, but also harmed the old man in front of them.
Hearing this, Lei Wuji, who originally wanted to do good, also stopped the action in his hand.
"Uncle, we don't have food either." Yang Ming shook his head.
"But if you tell us what's going on in the city, I can tell you where the food is." Yang Ming thought for a moment and said.
"Really?" A trace of essence flashed in the old man's eyes, and he straightened up with excitement.
"Yes, if you are willing to say it, I will tell you." Yang Ming affirmed.
"Okay, I say." The old man whispered.
It's not that he doesn't want to speak louder, it's that he's so hungry that he doesn't have the strength.
He said slowly, "My lord, the matter started a month ago: at that time, a team of workers disappeared inexplicably in the iron mine outside the city, and after that, the official family sent a team of people to look for them."
"A day later, the group returned, but they all had unusual rashes, and it wasn't long before they died. The corpse even had long grayish-white hairs growing on it. Some people say that they have become immortals, and others say that they have provoked the land god and have been punished. But none of us have this disease."
"Later, the officials shut us up in this city and cut us off our grain and grass."
After saying this in one breath, the old man closed his eyes, and his whole body fell backwards.
"If you have long hair, it's a fungal infection. It's a bit puzzling that it didn't infect anyone else." Yang Ming's heart calculated.
"He's dead." Yan Xiluo looked at the old man's body and sighed.
"Let's get there as soon as possible." Yang Ming didn't know if it was right to do this, but staying here was definitely not a wise decision.
There is no medical system in this world, and once a large-scale outbreak of epidemics occurs, many people will die. Although the old man said that none of them were sick, who knew if he was hiding it.
Not long after they walked out, the old man's body was dragged away by a group of hungry men.
"What are they dragging people away?"
Lei Wuji, who lives under the brocade clothes and jade food, and because he doesn't know much, he doesn't know what he is doing. I even thought that this was to bury the old man.
However, Yang Ming's words completely shattered his imagination: "People here have no food for a month, why can they live until now, have you thought about it?"
"Why?" Lei Wuji said confusedly.
"Think about it, how did Tian Mozhi, who was beside Mu Gongzi, survive in the first place." Yang Ming reminded.
"Tian Mo's ......"
Lei Wujian suddenly felt a wave of nausea in his stomach, he heard Yang Ming talk about Tian Mozhi on the boat, so he naturally knew what he had done.
"Let's go, there's no humanity here. All we can do is not let this happen again. Let's go back as soon as possible, the first priority is to unite our forces and completely wipe out the underworld."
"Yes!" Not only Lei Wuji, but everyone also nodded heavily.
