Jiang Yuling and the others did not leave the city gate far, but found a clean place to rest at random.

"Which of you can cook?"

Jiang Yuling looked at Zhou Miao and the others and asked.

"I'll do it, I'll cook." Zhou Miao raised his hand and said, and then commanded several attendants behind him to give him a hand.

Soon, a bright flame was raised, and a group of people sat around the fire.

The forest is rich in products, and although Jiang Yuling and Luo Mian can't cook, they also hunt some prey and take them with them for emergencies, and now they are just using it.

Zhou Miao plucked a few pheasants and hares neatly, cleaned the internal organs, and roasted them on the fire.

When the sound comes out and the meat begins to sizzle with oil, sprinkle it with the seasoning that has been prepared for a long time, and bite into it, the meat is delicious and full of juice, which makes people can't stop.

The fragrance wafted to the city gate, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate couldn't help but swallow.

And the guard who had taken the lead before was even more angry at this time, and his eyes looked viciously in the direction where Jiang Yuling and the others were.

But no matter how angry he was in his heart, he didn't dare to step forward to find trouble at this time.

The reason why he dared to say that he acted according to the rules before, and if something happened, the city lord would also stand on his side in order to protect his face.

But if he dared to step forward to find trouble at this time, and the other party killed him in anger, even the city lord would not blame.

Therefore, now he can only watch Jiang Yuling and others chatting while eating fragrant barbecue.

At this moment, a group of people walked towards the city gate from another direction.

These people were dressed in coarse linen and carried huge bamboo buildings behind them, which were filled with fruits and vegetables, as well as all kinds of mountain goods picked from the mountains.

Unlike Jiang Yuling and others, these people are indeed late.

So of course, they were reprimanded by the guards guarding the city, and these people couldn't stop nodding their heads in agreement, always with an apologetic and flattering smile on their faces, and they kept saying good things in their mouths.

Unlike Jiang Yuling and other cultivators, these people are all real ordinary people, they have no cultivation, they live in poverty, and they can only barely support their families with a meager income every day.

Just when these people wanted to break their fortune and avoid disaster as usual, they suddenly saw a fire burning not far away.

A large part of the reason why these people would rather spend money than wait until after dawn to enter the gate is because it is very dangerous outside the city gate, and from time to time there will be mysterious beasts suddenly infested.

And these mysterious beasts that suddenly appeared, as long as they were not near the city gate, the guards guarding the city would not care.

Those mysterious beasts are also smart, and after discovering this, they often leave after killing people, and never get a step close to the city gate.

These people noticed the clothes of Jiang Yuling and a few people next to the fire, it was a fabric they had never seen before, there was no doubt that these people were cultivators.

Thinking of this, an old man had the courage to walk in the direction where Jiang Yuling and the others were.

He didn't choose to bother, but chose a place not far away, sat down with his son and daughter-in-law, lit a fire, threw the sweet potatoes he brought out of the house into the fire, and then took out a dry and hard cake and baked it on the fire.

Seeing this, the others looked at each other in shock, and after thinking for a moment, they also pretended to be brave enough to learn the old man's movements, and found a place around to sit down.

These people can only earn some money to support their families by buying things from buyers, which is not much, and if they hand over part of the guards, the rest will naturally be even less.

Now, when they saw a few cultivators around them, a sense of luck rose in their hearts.

In the hearts of these people, death is terrible, but poverty is even more terrible than death, and besides, those mysterious beasts don't come every day, don't they, not to mention that there are still a few cultivators here.

In the eyes of ordinary people, cultivators are immortals.

They all dreamed that their children would have cultivation qualifications, and then take their whole family to ascend to heaven.

The guards watched as more and more people walked towards the other side, and even some of the people who had already taken out the money collected the money in their hands in hesitation, and turned to leave with their families.

Seeing this scene, the expression on the guard's face became extremely ugly, "This group of Diao people, unexpectedly! How dare you! ”

At this time, another guard stepped forward and comforted, "These people are just dogs fighting people, it's a big deal to double it next time, after all, they won't have such good luck next time." ”

Hearing this, the guard finally regained some of his senses, "You're right, this kind of good luck doesn't happen every time. ”

He looked at the crowd gathered not far away, and the piles of burning flames, his eyes were full of viciousness, at this time, he wished that a powerful beast would immediately rush out of the forest and kill all the people here.

However, what he hoped for did not happen, whether it was Jiang Yuling and the others or those who came after, all of them were fine.

What he didn't know was that he was about to be in trouble.

In Beiwang City, overnight, all the shops received Zhou Miao's order, and when facing others, their prices remained the same, while in the face of the people in the City Lord's Mansion, whether it was the master inside or the scary, even if it was a dog, the price was doubled.

Those who have a little conscience just double and pretend, and those lions who open their mouths widely, they are all ten times or a hundred times upward, which can be described as extremely black-hearted.

But these people don't have any psychological burden, after all, they are also in the form of orders, and they are not aimed at everyone, in the face of people other than the city lord's mansion, they are still conscientious merchants.

In order to avoid the City Lord's Mansion from finding other people to buy on their behalf, those who quietly helped the City Lord's Mansion all enjoyed the same treatment.

Overnight, the entire Beiwang City seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes, and it was as if nothing had changed.

Everyone else's lives were still as usual, only the City Lord's Mansion had become a mess at this time.

The city lord looked at the news brought by his subordinates, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his palm slapped heavily on the table, "Bold, how can this be true, how can it be unreasonable, these merchants don't want to stay in the North King City anymore, and dare to target the city lord's mansion like this." ”

The person kneeling below said tremblingly, "The little one said the same thing at that time,"

"And how did they answer?" The castle lord's eyes widened, and the anger in his eyes seemed to turn into substance.

"Those people, those people seem to have no fear, not afraid at all." The man's voice grew quieter and quieter.
