Chapter 87: Captivity
Dongfeng City, which is one of the largest cities near Lushui County.
Placing Dabai in a mountain forest far away from the city, Wang Sheng and the four of them walked to the gate of the city.
Outside the city, there were many unclothed refugees who were stopped from entering the city, but they were reluctant to leave.
The four of them looked at each other as if to confirm the rumors they had heard at the salt works, and then prepared to enter the city.
I thought that during the war, the inspection would be very strict, but in fact, the management was very loose, and the four of them entered the city easily, of course, at the cost of spending some silver.
To put it simply, the soldiers guarding the city gate actually don't check at all, and give the silver in.
The interior of the castle is not bustling, but there are some people, at least there are people walking on the streets.
Big cities are different, as long as they are not the main contention between the two sides of the war, they will be less affected than small villages and small towns, because the strength of the city will be much stronger, and they will not dare to loot without any strength.
Of course, there is also a possibility that most of the year has passed, and Shuzhou has stabilized.
But that's fine, if there is really no one, they will be bothered, and this time they can come to find out the news.
After entering the city, several people found an inn, and decided to meet here in the future, and then went their own way.
Wang Sheng naturally went to find an iron shop.
He mainly wanted to know what the blacksmith shop needed, the tools, the necessary facilities...... Everything needs to be learned, and he plans to build a place in the village to make it easier for him to use.
However, before that, he first went to the medicine recipe and exchanged ordinary ginseng for some silver, and finally opened the way with the silver, and in the case of not learning the technique of ironmaking, the blacksmith said in detail that he could not be in detail, and he successfully obtained what he wanted.
In short, Wang Sheng basically wrote down everything, and ordered a blacksmith set to prepare, and then came back to get it.
After these were done, he went to the inn where he met, and Li Yongfeng and the others had not yet returned, so he went in first to find a remote place to sit down and wait for someone.
There weren't many people in the inn, but there were still some people, all talking about themselves.
"The people outside the city are all from those three counties, right?"
"It should be, otherwise where did so many people come from, and those who should have fled would have fled a long time ago!"
"O iniquity, has no one dealt with that scourge? Forever ......"
"Shut up, don't you want to die, don't you know why Wang Er Mazi is gone?"
One interrupts the one who speaks.
“…… I hope it won't affect us in Dongfeng City! ”
……
The people in the entire inn couldn't escape Wang Sheng's ears when they spoke, basically talking about two things.
Refugees outside the city and how to survive themselves.
It didn't take long for Li Yongfeng and the three of them to come back one after another, and soon everyone was together.
Wang Sheng got straight to the point and asked, "What news have you all found out?" ”
Li Yongfeng was the first to speak and said: "Just like what I asked in the salt field, the three counties of Lushui, Dieshui, and Yong'an are already under the control of the Qingjiao Gang, and many people have fled, but some towns and villages have been directly watched, and the people inside can't get out at all." ”
"Is it really like what the people in the salt field said, who want to use all the people of the three counties as sacrifices?"
When he was in the salt field before, the person in charge said that more than half a year ago, the people of the Qingjiao Gang arrested people in Sanxian County.
Now it is even more powerful, directly blocking the people of the three counties in their respective villages and towns, and there are people from the Frog Jiao Gang patrolling all over the three counties.
The refugees outside Dongfeng City were looking for opportunities to escape, and many more were found out and arrested when they fled.
"It's the same thing I heard from my side, it seems that it was said that it was sacrificed a few times half a year ago, but it suddenly stopped, and then it directly began to blockade the three counties."
"The fact that the people of the Frog Jiao Gang worship an evil Jiao is no longer a secret thing, it is said that they want to sacrifice all the people in the three counties to an evil Jiao, some people say that the people who have not escaped from the three counties are actually kept in captivity by the people of the Evil Jiao and the Frog Jiao Gang."
“……”
Li Yongfeng and the others told the news they had heard.
In general, it is one thing, the people in Lushui, Dieshui, and Yong'an counties seem to be in captivity, and they will eventually be sacrificed to the evil Jiao.
"What is the situation in Shuzhou, doesn't anyone care about this evil dragon?"
"Shuzhou is now under the control of King Yongnian, and the previous city lord of Dongfeng City surrendered directly, so Dongfeng City has not suffered any damage......" The person who spoke was Wang Shuwen, and he said very quietly, "As for the crusade, it is said that there was a ninth-level martial artist who was planted in the five crusades before, and was killed by the evil Jiao......"
"Can't a ninth-level martial artist beat it?"
But if you think about it carefully, it's normal, the people of the Frog Jiao Gang can become five or six level martial artists when they worship the evil Jiao.
It is estimated that it can at least be compared with the human grandmaster.
"As for Lord Yongnian who controls Shuzhou...... Wang Shuwen's voice is even quieter, "I don't have time to take care of myself now, it is said that he has been criticized and punished for more than half a year, and there are still people who crusade against him, and he can't draw his strength at all." ”
The thing that Wang Shuwen found out was very simple, that is, King Yongnian was too busy to take care of himself, and it was impossible to send his grandmasters to deal with it.
To put it bluntly, let the people of the three counties fend for themselves!
Zhou Yong also continued.
"Speaking of this, I thought it was fake before, but now it may not be, I heard that a month later, the Frog Gang will hold a sacrifice, I feel a little weird, it seems that someone deliberately spread it, so I didn't care, it may not be now......"
Wang Sheng knocked on the table and listened to all kinds of news.
Evil Jiao...... Is it? The people of the three counties sacrificed......
The crowd talked for a while, and then they were about to leave.
"Our village is in Lushui County, these news are very useful, let's go back first!"
I haven't come out for more than half a year, and I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The Frog Gang controls the scope of the three counties, and also keeps everyone in captivity, the key is that there is no one to deal with it.
The mood of everyone was a little heavy, and they simply packed up their things and prepared to leave, while Wang Sheng went to get his iron suit, and then a few people left the city.
Da Bai lay on his stomach in the original position in the mountain forest, and after packing the things, he left directly.
When I went back, because I transported thousands of catties of salt, Dabai's speed was much slower.
However, I still returned to Qingshan Cottage before dark.
Li Yongfeng and others went to the village chief to report the matter.
Wang Sheng found some people to help build his blacksmith shop.
Bellows, sledgehammers and other things were taken directly from the blacksmiths of Toho Castle, and the way was opened with silver, and it was very simple to "convince" the blacksmith, and the most important thing was the furnace that burned the iron.
It took almost a week to build the stove.
Then Wang Sheng began to work and strike iron.
It was almost half a month before he stopped.
And then two jet-like things in my hands, about the size of a plate.
This is exactly what the "Organ Essentials. In the "Cloud Wing" trap in the Blue Dragon Chapter, Wang Sheng directly removed the unnecessary appearance of its wings to make it more compact, so it looks like a flying machine.
Of course, because it is made of ordinary iron, each one can only be used once.
"Let's try it first!"
If successful, there are things that can be done......
