Chapter 186: Separate Actions
>,!
It's easy to toss a city guard mansion out of a look, not to say that a few people don't even have a place to sleep at night, but Gongzi Feng did the whole thing as a shopkeeper, and threw everything in the giant city to Zhou Hao, and went out with gluttony and bald birds to inspect the people's conditions, but in fact, he went out to fight tooth sacrifices, leaving Zhou Hao alone in the city guard mansion, and let him face the table full of public Wen Zhi stunned. △↗,
The situation in the giant city is far more complicated than Zhou Hao thought, this ghost place seems to be inconspicuous, but if you look closely, it makes Zhou Hao feel like he wants to throw it out quickly.
Although the giant city is close to the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the end, on the border city border, just a vein of top-grade spirit stone is enough to make people covetous!
Three hundred miles opposite the giant city is the mountain forest inhabited by the barbarians, and fifteen miles behind the giant city is where the ore vein is, where the ore vein is, there are nearly 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, relying on the ore vein to build a fortress defense, so, rather than that the ore vein belongs to the giant city, it is better to say that the giant city is the bridgehead of the ore vein fortress, specifically for the ore vein where to do the warning.
The reason why the giant city is so dilapidated, the sergeants of this vein play a vital role!
Of course, the former giant city was not as dilapidated as it is now, and once upon a time, it was also the largest border city in the border city, but with the discovery of the ore vein and the construction of the fortress of the ore vein, the number of giant cities began to decrease sharply.
There is no other reason, firstly, the strategic position of the giant city has become irrelevant, and secondly, the fortress is safer than the giant city, and the barbarian attack at least once a year makes it less likely to survive in the giant city than staying in the fortress, so the original inhabitants of the giant city have migrated to the vicinity of the ore vein, resulting in the giant city becoming like this today.
Finally, the authority is unclear, the giant city is an independent existence, and the ore vein is a strategic material of the Great Zhou, and the garrison has a transcendent status, so there is actually no subordinate relationship between the giant city and the ore vein, in some sense, the giant city also has to serve the ore vein, so from this point, the official status of the giant city is actually lower than the ore vein.
This is also the reason why Ji Hong, an old friend of Gongzifeng, knew that he could escape from here, so he was busy and hurriedly handed over to Gongzifeng.
All this has led to the embarrassing status of the giant city now, and even the officers and soldiers in the giant city who should have been guarding have been invested in the side of the ore vein, resulting in the fact that the giant city has no soldiers to defend, which makes Zhou Hao very headache.
But these are not the most important, the most important thing is the annual barbarian invasion, which has started in the last few months, so Gongzifeng has actually caught up with a very bad time, Zhou Hao faced all this, and he had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.
But people are their own choice, the road is their own choice, wealth and danger are sought, they themselves are bumpy all the way, if there is no bumpy road, they cannot have today's achievements, thinking of this, Zhou Hao couldn't help but cheer up, and began to work on the political affairs in front of him.
The city now has less than 100 residents, and every day the big thing can be regarded as a great civil matter, so don't pay attention to it at all, the most important thing is how to establish contact with the vein, and at the same time pay attention to how to deal with the upcoming barbarian attack, both of which must be carried out at the same time, otherwise the next road will be quite difficult.
Looking at Gongzi Feng, who was eating with a mouth full of oil and carrying a roasted golden meat leg, Zhou Hao frowned and interrupted him to say hello to him, called all three people in front of him together, and told Gongzi Feng and the bald bird gluttony about his analysis.
The bald bird and the gluttony didn't take this matter to heart at all, in their opinion, these disputes have nothing to do with them at all, at most, what Zhou Hao said at that time, they just did it, of course, if their lives were in danger, they would run for their lives as soon as possible, and they would never stay.
So this conversation is all an exchange between Zhou Hao and Gongzifeng, when Gongzifeng heard Zhou Hao's analysis, he was originally elated, and the whole person suddenly became bad.
Originally, he thought that he would stay away from political affairs and throw these troubles to Zhou Hao, so he didn't have to worry about it, but when he heard what Zhou Hao said, he wanted to die.
But once people calm down and think of a way, there will always be some unexpected gains, Gongzi Feng thought for a long time, and finally thought of something, said: "When I came from the capital, it was said that there were people on the other side of the vein who were my generals under the command of the cheap Lao Tzu, and I came here, so I had to go there to see if I could seek some support, even if we could take refuge in the vein when the barbarians attacked the city, it was good to let us take refuge in the vein." ”
Zhou Hao nodded when he heard this, shook his head again, and said: "Your road is a bit dangerous, if it has something to do with your cheap Lao Tzu, I'm afraid that someone somewhere may get your Lao Tzu's order and are ready to put you to death. ”
"It's okay if I don't get to the giant city, but if I get to the giant city, I'm afraid they will have some!" "After Gongzifeng figured out the problem, he finally spoke with some spirit, "If I am killed before I take office, then the court will only send another person over at most, but if I am killed in office, and I die in the ore vein, the imperial court's Metropolitan Procuratorate is not a vegetarian! Even if he is under the command of Lu Guogong, I am afraid that the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not let it go!"
Zhou Hao's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, no matter what confidence Gongzifeng said this, he naturally had his own reason, if so, he really had to make a head.
Zhou Hao swept past the bald bird and asked, "Bald, what level of strength are you in the soul phase stage now?
"Give me enough spirit crystals, preferably fire-attribute spirit crystals, and I can directly reach the Tongtian Realm!" The bald bird knew what it meant when he heard the strings, and quickly replied: "But if it's just an ordinary top-grade spirit crystal, I can also reach the ninth-level strength of the soul phase stage, but I must have enough top-grade spirit crystals, and even need pills to assist!"
"Okay!" Zhou Hao stood with his hands in his hands and said to Gongzifeng: "You take the bald bird to the mine, you can stay for a little longer, you can stay for a little longer, anyway, there is no need to defend the giant city, you don't have any scruples in the past, as long as you don't be discovered, no matter what spirit crystal, it's open, I'll take the gluttony to the barbarians to take a trip to see if I can make some noise to delay their attack, we can act together on both sides, we can't sit still like this." ”
When he heard that the bald bird was arranged by Zhou Hao to go to the vein to improve his strength, he was immediately a little unhappy, but he was immediately blocked by Zhou Hao's words, "Don't envy the bald man, he may not even be able to steal a hair in the vein, and you follow me, I can find you something suitable for you to devour, and when you come back, maybe your strength will be higher than that of the bald man!"
"Cut! just him!" the bald bird smiled proudly: "With the virtue of the big mouth, he can improve faster than me, go dream!"
The gluttony was aroused by the bald bird's competitive heart, and said with a sneer: "I haven't even grown my hair, wait until you have the strength to show it in front of me, Zhou Hao, let's go, don't be like him!"
Gluttony is actually a character who will go away, and he will be half angry with the bald bird who still wants to fight with him on the tongue!
However, dragging Zhou Hao away from the giant city, gluttony saw that there was no one around, so he asked Zhou Hao worriedly, and said: "You won't fool me, the bald man is there in the ore vein, although I don't pick my mouth, but if I want to improve my strength, there is no top-notch material, and there is no improvement effect on me!"
"You don't have confidence in me like that?" Zhou Hao casually threw a few elixirs refined with the Mysterious Pill Furnace to Tao Tao, and said, "Actually, in addition to my strength, I am also an alchemist, and you say that I am not sure that I will surpass the bald man?"
Devouring the pill that Zhou Hao threw over, Tao Tao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then nodded violently: "Okay, okay, I believe in you everything, as long as you give me so many tens of thousands of pills, I will definitely be able to directly raise my strength to the Tongtian Realm Soul Refining Level! If you have the best elixir, I can even break through the Tongtian Realm and directly reach the Nirvana Realm to survive the fire tribulation!"
Hearing Tao Tao say this, Zhou Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, if he has so many elixirs, why don't he break through and leave it to you! This foodie is too taken for granted!
Taking advantage of the night, the two entered the barbarian wild mountain forest, and under the cover of the night and the mist rising at night in the mountains, Zhou Hao integrated into the mountains and forests with gluttony, and looked for the barbarian tribe.
The deeper he went into the wild mountains and forests, the more frightened Zhou Hao felt, the coverage area and density of the mountains and forests here were far beyond his imagination, if it weren't for his own superb, and the breath of the innate divine beast, I am afraid that he would be devoured by the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests if he couldn't walk a hundred steps between them.
However, Zhou Hao can still feel that there must be something in this wild mountain forest that makes his heart palpitate, and the uneasiness in his heart becomes more and more obvious as he goes deeper and deeper, but this uneasiness is really unreasonable, Zhou Hao can only cheer himself up and continue to go deeper.
After passing through a dense forest, there was a sudden light in front of him, a spacious river crossed in front of him, the rushing river made a huge sound, on the shallows by the river, there were bright and blind golden sands everywhere, gluttonous cheers, without Zhou Hao to speak, he rushed up and devoured on the ground.
The golden sands on the beach are all natural gold, with high purity, and there is abundant water element in it.
However, Zhou Hao only glanced at the huge amount of golden sand, and his whole attention was focused on this big river, Zhou Hao could feel that the uneasy emotions that had been bothering him for so many days were all in this river!
