Chapter 224: Re-entering Sealed Cloud City
This valley is located in the west of Fengyun City, and it is only a few miles away from Fengyun City, if Zhang Xiaosheng rushes with all his strength, it will not take a while to arrive.
However, Zhang Xiaosheng was not in a hurry, but walked slowly along the road, while tidying up his somewhat messy clothes, while still thinking about the bleak scenes in the valley, if as expected, during the period of time when he entered the ancient tomb, there must have been a major change in the outside world that he didn't know.
After coming out of the valley, it doesn't take a few steps to come to a big road, which is a big road about ten zhang wide, straight and flat, straight to Fengyun City, which is the main traffic artery of Fengyun City.
In the past, this road was crowded with merchants from all over the world, and even at night, it was often bustling with traffic.
However, Zhang Xiaosheng has been on this road for a while now, but he has never seen even a single pedestrian, businessman, and the whole road is empty, which seems particularly weird, which makes Zhang Xiaosheng's worry a little more aggravated.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xiaosheng could already vaguely see the walls of Fengyun City, and during this time, Zhang Xiaosheng still hadn't seen anyone.
However, taking advantage of this time, Zhang Xiaosheng tidied up his clothes anew.
Now Zhang Xiaosheng is wearing a set of gray clothes, although the color looks gray and inconspicuous, but it looks tall and quite temperamental on Zhang Xiaosheng.
Of course, Zhang Xiaosheng's favorite is the original white scholar's robe, but the original one was damaged in the ancient tomb, and the only thing on his body is the gray shirt he wears now, so although Zhang Xiaosheng is a little reluctant in his heart, he can only do so for the time being.
And the chasing fan that is often held in his hand is now tucked away in his waist, not that Zhang Xiaosheng is unwilling to hold it in his hand, but he is wearing his current clothes, and it is a bit nondescript to hold the chasing fan again.
After walking a few steps like this, Zhang Xiaosheng's pupils shrank, and his eyes swept to the right side of the road, where there was an old man lying motionless in the dead grass on the side of the road.
Zhang Xiaosheng walked quickly to the old man's side and turned the old man over, the old man's body was stiff, it seemed that he had been dead for a while, but the strange thing was that the old man did not have any wounds on his body, but when Zhang Xiaosheng moved his eyes down, he quickly discovered the cause of the old man's death, the old man was actually starving to death.
"Could it be that there is some kind of war?" Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but murmur a few words, as far as he knew, although Fengyun City was located on the border, it was an important economic and cultural exchange center between various countries, and the people had always been rich, so how could there be a starvation of people? Unless there was a war, this would happen.
It seems that the worries in my heart are true!
Since this kind of thing happened, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't bear to let the old man continue to expose the corpse in the wilderness, dug a pit on the side of the road, buried the old man, and continued to walk towards Fengyun City.
But this time, Zhang Xiaosheng took out an object from his arms, buttoned it to his face, and then ran the exercises, with the crackling of the bones, soon Zhang Xiaosheng became a short, black-faced man with a wide mouth and a wide nose, which was very different from the original appearance, and now Zhang Xiaosheng is probably standing in front of the most familiar person, and that person is not recognizable.
This kind of disguise secret technique is what Zhang Xiaosheng learned from that ever-changing secret book, and now that Fengyun City has undergone great changes, it is safer for him to enter the city after he is disguised.
Facts have proved that Zhang Xiaosheng's approach is correct, and the Fengyun City is indeed not what Zhang Xiaosheng expected, the city gate and the city wall are full of patrolling soldiers, looking heavily guarded, and Zhang Xiaosheng also found that the clothes on these soldiers are different, and they seem to be from different forces, which makes Zhang Xiaosheng even more puzzled about the situation in the city.
But fortunately, Fengyun City is not forbidden to enter the city now, although the inspection is very strict, with Zhang Xiaosheng's disguised appearance, it is easy to enter the city.
The city was full of depression, and there were few pedestrians on the wide streets, and the occasional few people hurried by with their faces covered, as if they were afraid of something.
In this case, Zhang Xiaosheng is not too ostentatious, and he also looks like he is hurrying along the street, running towards a restaurant he is familiar with.
Now the main thing is to find out what is going on here, and the best place to inquire is the restaurant. Even so, Zhang Xiaosheng was a little worried in his heart, judging from the current situation on the street, he didn't know if the restaurant would open.
Soon turned a street corner, and a commotion came into Zhang Xiaosheng's ears, proving that Zhang Xiaosheng's worries were unnecessary.
Feitian Pavilion is the name of this restaurant, although this restaurant is not the largest restaurant in Fengtian City, but it is also quite a famous restaurant, the Feitian sauce duck in the building is a famous dish in Fengyun City, and the name of Feitian Pavilion also comes from this.
At this moment, the building can be said to be full of people, and a few juniors are constantly busy in the crowd, which is in stark contrast to the depressed scene on the street. However, the shopkeeper of this building was full of sadness, and it seemed that the guests of this building did not arouse his interest.
When the shopkeeper saw Zhang Xiaosheng coming, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted the door: "Yo, this guest officer, but are you eating?
This shopkeeper was so enthusiastic that Zhang Xiaosheng was taken aback, but although Zhang Xiaosheng was curious in his heart, his face was silent, and he said in a rough voice: "The shopkeeper, there is a seat, I am hungry!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this guest officer, please hurry!" said the shopkeeper hurriedly welcomed Zhang Xiaosheng to the store, and then led Zhang Xiaosheng to walk upstairs, each floor was full of people, and the noise was incomparable, until the top floor, it was quiet, and there were only a few diners eating quietly here.
"You here, please!" said the shopkeeper, who took Zhang Xiaosheng to a seat on the edge of the top floor.
This top floor was supposed to be an open-air loft for enjoying the scenery in summer, but now it is the cold winter season, and it has become a place where the cold wind is poured in, no wonder the floors below are overcrowded, but there are few people here.
The shopkeeper also seemed to notice Zhang Xiaosheng's expression, and hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised, guest officer, the seats below are all occupied by those military masters, and only here are the seats, please bear more!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhang Xiaosheng's big man waved his hand, and after ordering a few dishes, his tone changed, and he asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I see that your store is full of people, why do you have a sad expression?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaosheng asking, the shopkeeper sighed, looked back downstairs, and then said, "......"
