Chapter 461: The Mysterious Marshal's Conspiracy (Part II)
Walking into Dragon City, the cold air has decreased a lot, and with the shelter of the city wall, the temperature inside the city is obviously higher than that outside the city.
The qiē in the city seems to be normal, and it does not have the depression and devastation of life after the city is broken. Although the flow of people on the streets is not bustling, there are no houses closed. In such cold cities in the north, the population is already smaller than in the big cities in the south.
Huo Yuhao walked forward while observing his surroundings and feeling the changes.
At the head of Dragon City, there is a simple soul guide position, but the number of soul guides is not very large, and some ordinary soldiers are guarding here.
According to this defensive strength, if the Heavenly Soul Empire can divide its forces to attack, one or two regular legions will have hope of breaking through. It's just that neither the Heavenly Soul Empire nor the Douling Empire can free up their hands now.
Regarding the news here, Shrek Academy is blank, and Huo Yuhao naturally doesn't know anything. In a city, there is nothing easier to find out the news than a tavern, Huo Yuhao decided to find a tavern to sit down and listen to the current situation in Dragon City. Then make a plan.
It's too easy to find a pub in a cold northern city, and drinking to keep you warm is a common hobby for almost most northerners, even some women.
Huo Yuhao quickly found a tavern and walked in. The signboard of this tavern is not too big, but as soon as he walked into the tavern, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a warm atmosphere rushing towards him.
The warm heat wave was intoxicating, and as soon as he entered the door, Huo Yuhao felt that he was enveloped by a heat wave, and the chill on his body was washed away.
The inside of the tavern is not large, the temperature inside is much higher than the outside, and some people are even drinking with their bare arms.
There are four or five tables and a bar in the whole tavern. There were twenty or thirty men and women. The tavern was full of noise and the atmosphere was very warm.
Huo Yuhao noticed that behind almost every table and bar, there were some scantily clad women, but these women were really not young, they looked at least thirty years old, although they were scantily dressed. But the attraction is really not strong. They were uniformly dressed, and they were obviously supposed to be tavern people, who were specially drinking with guests, but they did not have any further service. Although the guests were also drinking and laughing with them, they sat far away and did not behave badly. It seems that this should be a custom in the Dragon City Tavern. The woman drinks with her, just to adjust the atmosphere.
"Hello guest. A scantily clad woman approached with her shoulders and breasts less fair. Greeted Huo Yuhao, who had just entered the door. in her voice. With a thick Northern accent of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The voice is rounded, but the nasal voice is heavier. Although the yellow dress on her body is naked, it also has the gorgeous style of the Heavenly Soul Empire, but the material is a little worse.
"Hello. Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. "Is there a seat yet?"
The woman in yellow said, "There is only a seat at the bar, is it okay?"
"Good. Huo Yuhao nodded.
The woman in yellow took him to sit down in the corner of the bar, Huo Yuhao's clothes were relatively light, after all, he came directly from Shrek Academy, so naturally he didn't need to take off any coats, probably because the drinkers present had already drunk into a state, and no one noticed this.
"Guest, you're from out of town. The woman in yellow brought Huo Yuhao a cup of hot water before asking.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, this dragon city is so cold!"
The woman in yellow smiled, "Isn't it, looking at what you're wearing, I'm afraid you're a little frozen, just drink some wine." Something?"
Huo Yuhao said: "Let's have some local characteristics." ”
"Okay, then you wait. ”
It didn't take long for a glass of wine with a rich aroma and amber color to be delivered to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao picked up the cup and asked, and suddenly, a strong smell of wine came, and it looked like a spirit.
Smelling the smell of spirits, he couldn't help but remember that when he participated in the competition in Mingdu, because he had too much extreme ice heaven and earth yuan power in his body, he had to rely on pure distillation to assist in resolving it.
After taking a sip of the liquor, a spicy breath with a thick wheat aroma penetrated into his throat and turned into a line of fire all the way into his abdomen.
Huo Yuhao didn't use his soul power to dissolve the power of the wine, feeling the scorching stimulation, the complexion on his face couldn't help but be a little more rosy.
Although he is not particularly handsome, because of his strong mental power, he also has a bit of charm out of the dust. Seeing the change in his complexion after drinking, the woman in yellow's eyes lit up obviously, "Guest, where are you from?"
Huo Yuhao said: "I'm from the south, I'm here to meet a friend." ”
The woman in yellow smiled and said, "Then you have to be careful, it's a time of war, but don't touch the place where the battle is fighting." ”
Huo Yuhao said quietly: "I heard that the Dragon City side has been ......."
The woman in yellow didn't shy away from anything, but followed his words and said, "Yes, Dragon City has now been occupied by the Sun and Moon Empire. Originally, we were all worried, but now it seems that the situation is not too bad. ”
"Oh?" Huo Yuhao looked at her with some surprise and said, "How is the war going?"
The woman in yellow said: "We civilians don't know the specific situation, but at least after the Sun and Moon Empire occupied Dragon City, they didn't do anything to us civilians, but instead issued a notice to the people, saying that they would not loot or kill people at will, and asked everyone to maintain order and not leave the house lightly." ”
"That's it?" Huo Yuhao was a little surprised in his heart. The Sun and Moon Empire was able to do nothing in the autumn, and it was indeed to make less suffering caused by the war befall the ordinary people, if so, it would be a blessing in misfortune.
The woman in yellow said, "Yes, they have occupied Dragon City for more than ten days, but they only left some troops to maintain order, and then merchants began to pour in. The army had only been in the city for two days before withdrawing from the city. You should have seen it when you came, our Dragon City was not destroyed much. It's just that I heard that several soul master sects in the city were forced by the army of the Sun and Moon Empire to temporarily leave Dragon City, but where they went, it was not clear. ”
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, falling into thought. From the very beginning when Xu Tianran launched this war and did not hesitate to imprison the elites of various countries who participated in the Fighting Soul Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Whole Continent in the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire, he felt that once this war happened, it would inevitably be a misery.
Moreover, the Sun and Moon Empire also had the participation of the Holy Spirit Sect, in this case, they could do nothing against the civilians? This was indeed something that Huo Yuhao did not expect.
The woman in yellow didn't wait for Huo Yuhao to ask anything more, she also picked up a glass of ale wine from behind the bar and took a sip, and said, "It's really strange that those merchants didn't sell goods after entering our Dragon City, but gave them away. I heard that they sent a lot of strange goods to the nobles in the city, and it is said that they are all related to soul guides. Their country has occupied us and wants to send us something, I really don't understand what the reason is. ”
Don't say she didn't understand, after Huo Yuhao heard this, he was also confused, why did this happen? What exactly did the Sun and Moon Empire do?
After a glass of wine in the tavern, that's all I heard, and nothing useful came up in the conversation of the other drinkers.
After asking the location of the Dragon City City Lord's Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, Huo Yuhao drank the glass of liquor before leaving the tavern.
At this time, it was already dark outside, the flow of people on the streets was significantly reduced, and the temperature had dropped quite a bit.
In order not to make himself too conspicuous, Huo Yuhao took out a coat from his storage soul guide and put it on his body, and walked slowly on the street.
He originally planned to directly find a place to live, and when Nan Qiuqiu woke up, he would go to Dilongmen. But now there are some new ideas.
He was very curious about what the Sun and Moon Empire's intentions were when they not only did not loot after the invasion of Dragon City, but Qiu did not commit any crimes, and also let the accompanying merchants send things in the city.
Go to the City Lord's Mansion and take a look, there are at least the heads of the Sun and Moon Empire left here, and they may be able to find out some news.
Thinking of this, through the night, Huo Yuhao turned into a dimly lit street, and quietly melted into the darkness and disappeared under the effect of the simulated soul technique.
Like most cities, the City Lord's Mansion in Dragon City is located in the middle of the city, and the size of the City Lord's Mansion looks quite large, and it can be seen from a long distance.
At the gate of the city lord's mansion, two soldiers stood straight, wearing thick warm clothes. Huo Yuhao rose up and quietly entered the City Lord's Mansion, like a fallen leaf, without alarming anyone.
The city lord's mansion seemed very quiet, and it was only after a long time that a patrol of soldiers could be seen passing by. Huo Yuhao quietly sneaked in, followed the light, and soon found the core building of the City Lord's Mansion.
Floating up, towards a second-floor room with lights on, at the same time, the spiritual power was also in full swing, covering the entire City Lord's Mansion. He didn't believe that there would also be a soul probe here.
Soon, he had already figured out the situation in the City Lord's Mansion, and in this City Lord's Mansion, there were about one hundred and fifty soldiers stationed, among which there were twenty soul masters. The cultivation is weak, around the second and third rings. In the room at the core of the City Lord's Mansion, there is a six-ring soul emperor-level powerhouse, as for whether it is a soul master or not, it can only be clear if you have had direct contact.
Is it just a Soul Emperor who is presiding over a big city here? The Sun and Moon Empire is very relieved.
