Chapter 268: Searching for Intelligence
Chapter 268: Exploring Intelligence
Zhang Yanyan took a group of seven people into the Fallen Leaf City, and the scene in front of him at this time dazzled Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian, who had never been out of the village to perform a mission.
The white young man is better, after all, he is dressed as a horse thief at this time, no matter how unseen he is, it will not arouse people's suspicions. But as a fair-skinned girl who is a captive, even if she quietly picks up one side of the curtain and looks at it a few times, it is a luxury.
I have to say that Fallen Leaf City is worthy of being the first male city in the south of Luoyun Country. Whether it is from the area or the prosperity of the city, it is not comparable to the rest of the forces.
There are 100,000 inhabitants in the entire Fallen Leaf City, and the area is more than ten times that of Yinren Village. The area mentioned here is only within the walls of the Fallen Leaf Castle, the area where the villagers of Yinren Village gathered. Rather than referring to the territorial area of the two forces.
In fact, whether it is Deciduous Leaf City, Yinren Village, or other forces, their territorial areas are not much different. However, with the exception of Deciduous City, the rest of the forces have very limited access to the land in the territory.
Small villages like Yinren Village, which have a small population, have developed less than one-thousandth of the land area of their territory. In other words, there are a series of camps on the edge of Yinren Village, such as Liangchen Gang, Maple Leaf Forest, Northern Daying, etc. In fact, large tracts of land are still in the state of virgin dense forests.
Of course, this situation is common in Deciduous County, on the one hand, this county was established after the establishment of Luoyun Kingdom, and the population is already sparse, and on the other hand, it is not unrelated to the hidden beast kings in various parts of the county.
It's also easy to understand, if there is nowhere to settle if there is no place to settle in a large population, otherwise who would fight against a strange beast king above the chivalrous realm for a primeval dense forest with no value?
......
Although the crowd was dressed as horse thieves, they were not so ostentatious, and besides, it was almost dusk at this time, and most of the pedestrians walking on the road were in a hurry, so they did not attract much attention.
Zhang Yanyan and Ma San walked in front of the team, the two exchanged something in a low voice, and Ma Da Bang kept nodding his head, like a qualified master.
Soon the group of seven people arrived at an inn, after all, it was almost night, and they needed to find a place to stay.
As for whether to find Ji Rentu next or to explore Fan Yang's intelligence, everyone needs to discuss it.
The inn is called "Jianghu Tavern", and the shopkeeper's surname is Zhang, because he is a very individual person.
As the name suggests, this tavern caters mainly to people from the rivers and lakes. Coming here to stay in a hotel, unlike other inns, you need any paperwork, and you don't even have to use money.
Shopkeeper Zhang is a person with a story, and anyone who is sharp-edged in his store can only drink a bowl of wine, and he will not sell it if he has more. Anyone who wants to stay in his shop must also buy a bowl of wine, not a penny.
Of course, it doesn't mean that this shopkeeper is a dead money-hungry man, if you meet a chivalrous man who is in trouble, if you don't have money, you can press some things. Even if there is nothing valuable to press, tell a story of the rivers and lakes here, and you can also change it for a bowl of wine to drink.
"A few guest officers, are you going to be a top hit, or are you staying in a hotel?" the shopkeeper looked at everyone dressed as horse thieves, without the slightest nervousness, and asked in a steady tone.
"There are three upper rooms, one for three and two for two. Zhang Yanyan said calmly.
The shopkeeper surnamed Zhang nodded and stretched out his hand to point to the sign at the door. Apparently reminding everyone of his rules here.
Before the group came, Ma San had nagged them about the rules here, and it was not strange at this time.
"Then what kind of wine is there?" Yi Xifeng asked curiously when he heard that there was wine to drink.
The shopkeeper didn't explain much, but reached out and pointed to the wall behind him, on which the list and price of wine were written.
Burn a knife or two
Daughter red five taels
Drunk spring red twenty-five taels
One hundred and fifty taels of Gujingfang
One thousand taels of sobering wine
Seeing this price, the group couldn't help but grow their mouths.
"Are the prices in Fallen Leaf City so cruel? a pot of wine costs a thousand taels!" Yi Xifeng couldn't help but complain.
Zhang Yanyan on the side explained helplessly: "This one thousand two one altar is indeed a little high, I think the burning knife of one or two one altar is very good!"
The shopkeeper did not have any change in his attitude because of their words, and still said slowly: "Three guest rooms, seven taels, seven altars of burning knives, seven taels! a total of fourteen taels." ”
Soon the crowd gathered in the three-person room. Looking at the seven altars of burning knives on the table, everyone was also a little helpless. Although it is said that it is one or two altars, it is still a little expensive.
Yi Xifeng's own Qingxin Liquor House sells alcohol, which is not ordinary wine, but Qingxin wine soaked in herbs. But even if it is so, it is only twenty-five pounds.
Even if there are three catties of burnt knives in this jar, it is still more expensive than Qingxin wine. However, its efficacy cannot be compared with that of pure heart wine.
......
"The first step in our plan has been completed, and that is to blend into Fallen Leaf City. Next, we need to explore intelligence in many ways. Zhang Yanyan said in a deep voice.
Yi Xifeng glanced at Ma San, who was blindfolded in the corner of the room, sealing the acupoint. Obviously, this big stick couldn't hear the content of his own discussion at this time.
"Captain Fan had also entered Fallen Leaf City before, but he quickly lost contact, and I think we can start with two things. Xia Mingfei, a round-faced young man, said loudly.
He was previously an intelligence officer selected by Zhao Yuntian, and his analysis of the situation was his specialty. At this time, Zhang Yanyan also wanted to hear what the backbone of the former intelligence group would think.
Xia Mingfei glanced at everyone, and seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the man pondered for a moment and said:
"First of all, Ma San's clue can't be broken, we can try to contact Ji Rentu to see if we can get more useful information from him. On the other hand, Captain Fan lost contact only after entering the city, even if Ji Rentu was involved, I think there must be other strength to help, so that he can kill a captain-level powerhouse without knowing the ghost. ”
Lu Huahua on the side nodded and said, "I basically agree with Ming Fei's opinion, but I have some doubts. ”
The short-haired girl and Zhang Yanyan glanced at each other, and when they saw that they were opposed, Lu Huahua continued: "You said to contact Ji Rentu, how to contact him?
Xia Mingfei pointed to Ma San, who was squatting in the corner of the wall, unable to move his acupoint and explained: "Actually, that guy before helped us come up with a good method. ”
As soon as the young man's voice fell, the two people present said one after another: "No!"
It was none other than Yi Xifeng and Zhao Long who spoke!
The two glanced at each other, and Zhao Long first denied: "This action is too dangerous, I think it is up to discussion, even if you really want to contact Ji Rentu, you shouldn't let Xin Tian go, after all, she is the weakest among us." ”
Yi Xifeng nodded and added: "Moreover, we can't fully trust that Ma San, if we can't keep it, when we see Ji Rentu, he will bite us back!"
Speaking of this, the white young man paused and said, "Do you remember when you entered the city before, you met that armored guard? At that time, this old boy looked at the guard's demeanor, as if he was calculating us. ”
