Chapter 62: Another Bloody Story
The arrival of night is urging the footsteps of pedestrians on the street. After a busy day, whether it was because of the curfew or the body's desire to rest, after Jiangning City was completely covered in darkness, the originally bustling streets were only left with garbage blown by the wind.
As the night became more and more intense, in a forest valley somewhere outside Jiangning City, An Ran's figure appeared and disappeared, and the sword light flickered in the faint moonlight.
This is the swordsmanship he practiced "Light and Shadow Falling". This swordsmanship was given to him by Xu Youran, and after Dacheng, a sword in his hand was a thousand sword lights, and then his body disappeared into this thousand sword lights to give the opponent a fatal blow.
This swordsmanship is divided into three thresholds, one hundred sword lights are the entry, five hundred are small successes, and one thousand are big successes.
Now An Ran was able to wield more than 700 sword lights.
I heard Xu Youran say that there is a legendary realm above Dacheng, but I have never seen it, and I don't know what it is like and how to cultivate.
The time of sword practice always feels short, and before you know it, the moon has hung on the head of the western mountain. An Ran also stopped, and after a little rest, he packed up the formation to cover his breath and rushed towards Jiangning City.
When I returned to the inn, I checked it carefully, and no one had entered the house, so I began to rest.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, I called the shopkeeper to bring toiletries, and after breakfast, I left the inn to prepare for Dongyun City.
Enron is not going to go out through the city gate, which will leave a record of leaving a record of leaving the city. It's not that he is too cautious, there is nothing wrong with being careful in everything, and a martial artist who steals martial arts cannot withstand suspicion.
After all, Dongyun City is so close, once the assassination is successful and the city lord is dead, no one knows what Jiang Ning's actions will be. If Jiang Ningcheng also followed the investigation, he was an outsider who left the city early and returned late every day, which is very suspicious.
There is a saying in the Terran warrior circle: "Don't underestimate the people in the military aircraft department, when it comes to dealing with the Terrans, their sense of smell is comparable to that of dogs." ”
Although this is insulting, it is also a brief description of a fact.
It's much easier to sneak out of the city during the day than at night. At this time, An Ran was already on his way to Dongyun City.
Although Dongyun City is close to the Jiangning River, he is upper-class, and most of the merchants' goods stop in Jiangning City. To the west, there are hills and mountains, making it difficult for merchants to walk.
Therefore, Dongyun City is not big or rich, the flow of people passing through the city gate is sparse, and the guards guarding the city gate are listless, thinking that they didn't know where they were last night.
Originally, I was thinking of using the shuttle charm to enter the city, but looking at the guard's wine bag and rice bag, I saved this talisman seal safely.
He threw a few pieces of silver to the guards, and without even taking off his hat, he entered the city safely.
Today he was going to touch the terrain, so he walked around the city.
Dongyun City sits in the north and faces south, only the north and south gates enter and exit, and An Ran enters the city from the south gate.
To the east is the Jiangning River, and the river bank is steep, so there is no city wall. A low-lying section was dug in the middle of the river bank to build a place for boats, and the west side was closed by a city gate all year round.
In the middle is the Yamen of Dongyun City, the gate faces the South Street, and the South Street leads directly to the South Gate. The back gate north street leads directly to the north gate. There are also east and west streets on the left and right, which are directly to the edge of the city.
The City Lord's Mansion is next to the Jiangning River in the northeast. The lord of the city does not work, but the prefect who works is the prefect, and the prefect is all of the human race.
After the first generation of demon emperors listened to the policy of governing people by people given by the former prime minister "Liu Yankun", the county ordered the prefect and the county guards to be all Terrans, because this could reduce the rebellious heart of the Terrans.
Of course, this is not what Liu Yankun hates the most about the human race, it is his other policy that makes the major human races want to break him into pieces, which will be talked about later.
After using this policy, the demon clan will only be the lord of the city, or the commander of each county and town. They only cared about eating, drinking, and being in charge of the city guards. Of course, the city lord and commander also have a mission to collect gifts.
Next to the government is the Rebel Division. The rebel division is not under the control of the city, let alone the prefect.
The Rebellion Division is directly under the Demon Emperor, and is managed by class level by level, they are only responsible for dealing with Terran warriors, and they can also turn to the city lord if necessary.
Then divide several households into a square, and several squares into a city, all paved with roads, this is the layout of Dongyun City. That's how it is in almost every city.
After figuring out the layout of the city and the location of some important places, the sun has already run overhead, and Enron is no longer going.
Walked to East Street, found a restaurant, ordered two dishes, ordered a pot of Tiannan tea, and went to the fire of this autumn tiger. Tiannan Liquidation is a characteristic of Dongyun City, which is harvested from the hills and mountains.
Of course, going to the fire is just a joke, and the martial artist will be affected by this fire, mainly because An Ran wants to drink tea, and by the way, listen to the conversation around him, maybe there is some useful news, after all, this is very close to the City Lord's Mansion.
If you want to say that in a city, where the most news is the most mixed, it is teahouses and restaurants.
When the meal was still a while, the shopkeeper first served a purple clay pot, the spout was slightly steaming, and he lifted it and poured it into the cup, the tea color was green and translucent, and the aroma was open. Take a sip and swallow it, and make a dark fragrance around the tongue and teeth, and then breathe for a while.
"This tea is good." An Ran sighed in his heart. Immediately, the conversation of the four people at the table behind him caught his attention.
"I heard that Shaocheng is mainly marrying the youngest daughter of the Qing family, and the date is set in three days."
"Two demons get married, what's so strange." The other man said disdainfully.
"Hey, you don't understand this, there's a lot of story in this."
"What's the story?" The third asked with a gossipy face.
This bloody story probably goes something like this. There are two fox demon families in Dongyun City, and the two families have always been on good terms. The youngest daughter of the Qing family and the second young master of the Qiu family are childhood sweethearts, and they were engaged last year
And this young city lord of Dongyun City saw Miss Qing at a banquet, and he was shocked for a while, and he liked it very much. So he called his father to propose marriage.
I went to find out that someone had already got married. But this young city lord doesn't care, the city lord Hu Wuxian is even more domineering, and he marries directly. The second young master of the Qiu family was angry, so he went to the City Lord's Mansion to theorize, but was seriously injured and thrown out.
The two fifth-order masters of Qingqiu went to ask for an explanation, but they were also thrown out.
Hearing this, An Ran's pupils shrank, and then one of the four people exclaimed.
"What! The city lord is a sixth-order! ”
The man sneered
"Where is he a sixth-order, the Xuan-level executioner of our Demon Slaying Division just happened to come to Dongyun City, and he still has some relationship with the city lord, so he made a second move."
"And then."
"Later, although the big man left, the Qingqiu family didn't dare to make a mistake, so they acquiesced to letting the young city lord marry the youngest daughter of the Qing family."
"It's better to ask the world when you go back later." Hearing that Tiger Without a Trace was not a sixth order, An Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
As for which Xuan-level executioner left, why did the Qingqiu family still dare not attack, An Ran felt that it should be the identity of the city lord of Hu Wuxian was still very deterrent.
After all, he represents the face of the Demon Court.
As for whether it will be secretly hacked, Enron now very much suspects that the task that Akiba took was entrusted by these two families.
With the end of this meal story, a pot of tea is finished, and the shopkeeper who is carrying the meal from the kitchen is also walking towards An Ran.
"I don't know if the relationship between this Second Prince Qiu and Miss Qing is deep. Maybe it could work a little bit. ”
An Ran was thinking about eating at the same time, not to mention. It's better to listen to this kind of story.
