Chapter 296 Gu Diao
Three days later.
Dafeng, Fengyuan.
Unlike the capital city of Da Ning located in the north, Fengyuan is located in the center of Da Feng, surrounded by flat land without any high mountains.
Such geographical conditions determine that the scale of Fengyuan City must be very large.
And this is indeed the case.
The vast ocean is full of waves, and the flags and banners are rolling slowly.
When Wei Changtian looked through the car curtain at the long city wall in the distance that was dozens of meters high, he suddenly felt like he was dreaming of the Badaling Great Wall.
In his previous life, Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall to protect the entire northern border, but now the Great Wall is only for guarding one city. This is enough to show how big the city of Fengyuan is.
"How many households are there in Fengyuan?"
After closing the car curtain, Wei Changtian curiously asked Li Wutong: "I'm afraid there are at least a million households."
"this."
Although she is the Princess of Dafeng, Li Wutong seems unfamiliar with this issue.
Instead, Chu Xianping next to him answered, "Almost two million households."
Two million.
In ancient times, one household was equivalent to about five people, so Fengyuan actually had tens of millions of people living in it? You have to know that cities these days don't have the high-rise buildings like in the past, so a city with a population of tens of millions is already a giant.
My goodness, I guess the house prices must be very expensive.
With a sigh in his heart, Wei Changtian asked Li Wutong again: "Princess, where should I stay for the next period of time?"
"I have a house outside the palace, we can live there."
Li Wutong answered quickly this time, but Wei Changtian grasped the key point instantly.
"We? Princess, you want to live with me?"
“It’s natural.”
Li Wutong nodded as a matter of course: "It's always more convenient to work together if we live together."
“.”
Good man, is the royal family of Dafeng so open? Wei Changtian asked suspiciously: "Princess, you are not married yet and you act like this, your father doesn't care about you?"
"Father won't care."
Li Wutong shook his head, as if he wanted to say something else, but held back for the time being.
Wei Changtian glanced at her and didn't ask any further questions. He just straightened his clothes, then closed his eyes and continued to practice the Tiaoyue Sword in his dream.
Carrying the moon on his shoulders, his body shines brightly in all directions.
After more than ten days of hard practice along the way, he has now mastered the sword technique to the Pure Green Realm, and the feeling of being "controlled" when making a move is becoming more and more obvious.
He had said before that he would go to Jizhou again if he had the chance, and find Old Zhang to ask him about the sword technique in person.
But later, because they had to go to Yuanzhou to rescue Liang Zhen and Liang Qin, Chu Xianping had to pick a few reliable people from the Freemasonry to do this.
It’s been quite a while now, why haven’t you replied yet?
"Young Master."
As luck would have it, just as Wei Changtian was pondering this matter, Chu Xianping suddenly transmitted his voice and whispered, "There's news from Jizhou."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian suddenly opened his eyes: "How is it?"
"No one was found."
Chu Xianping shook his head: "Senior Zhang and Agou have already left Jizhou."
“Gone?”
Wei Changtian was stunned: "Where did you go?"
"I don't know, but a neighbor happened to see them leaving and asked about it."
Chu Xianping answered truthfully with a strange look on his face: "It is said that Senior Zhang's answer at the time was that he wanted to kill Yama Luo."
“.”
If Wei Changtian was drinking water at this moment, he would definitely spit it out.
Behead Yama? This sentence again? ? Good fellow, the King of Hell in the underworld is so miserable, he has to be beheaded by you all day long? ? ?
After a long silence, Wei Changtian waved his hand weakly and stopped thinking about it.
At the same time, in Fengyuan City, just a few dozen miles away from the carriage where the few people were riding, a boy who was about seven or eight years old fell down in his house with a pale face.
There were no wounds on his body, but he was no longer breathing.
In ancient times when there was no surveillance technology, such a strange murder case would be difficult to solve.
What's more, no one could have imagined that the murderer would be such a strange and yet extremely terrifying thing.
It looks like a bird but not a bird, like a leopard but not a leopard, has one horn, and looks like a black panther with wings.
"call!"
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the monster suddenly turned into a ball of black mist, and then gradually condensed into the appearance of a man that was extremely real.
The man had an ordinary appearance, except for his extremely deep pupils, as if one would feel as if falling into an abyss just by looking at him.
Of course, this is just a metaphor. Even if ordinary people look into his eyes, they would at most be distracted for a moment and would not notice anything unusual.
However, if Old Zhang saw this person here at this moment, he would probably be very surprised.
Because he had just managed to escape from this man in Yuanzhou City, tens of thousands of miles away, three days ago.
"Classic of Mountains and Seas: Southern Mountains": "Five hundred miles further east is the Luwu Mountain, on which there are no plants or trees, but many gold and stone. The Zegeng River flows out of it and flows southward into the Pang River. There is a beast in the water, called the Gu Diao, which looks like an eagle but has horns, and makes a sound like a baby. It eats people.
[9: Dafeng Dynasty, Gong Night Watchman, Bai Youheng]
The evil way of ghosts, Gu Diao.
Half an hour later.
Several carriages slowly stopped in a side alley in the north of Fengyuan City.
The whole alley is short and nameless, with only one heavily guarded house in it.
"Master Wei, we are here."
After a greeting, Li Wutong was the first to get off the carriage. Looking at the familiar courtyard gate, he felt very close to it.
However, her long-lost good mood disappeared after Wei Changtian got off the car.
"Princess, why do you make this house look like a fortress?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone build an arrow tower at home."
“.”
The smile on her face froze instantly. Li Wutong glared at Wei Changtian, picked up her skirt and walked into the yard.
The latter followed behind, shaking his head, but his eyes kept scanning the various buildings and layouts in the mansion.
When you are in a foreign country, you can ignore everything else but be extremely cautious about safety.
"Brother Chu."
Slowing down his pace and walking side by side with Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian lowered his voice and asked softly, "The Xuan Jing Division must have a lot of spies in Fengyuan. Can you get them to protect me in secret?"
"this."
Chu Xianping shook his head: "Sir, I'm afraid that's not possible."
"Why?"
"These spies are all spies planted by the Xuanjing Division in Dafeng. If they show up, they will definitely be at risk of being exposed."
"Yeah that makes sense."
Wei Changtian frowned: "Is there any way to get some of our own people?"
"Of course, we can, but Fengyuan is a long way from Shuzhou, and it will probably take more than ten days for the people to arrive."
Chu Xianping pondered for a moment and said comfortingly: "Young Master, you don't have to worry too much. I believe that Dafeng will not let you get into trouble in Fengyuan's territory."
Wei Changtian was stunned: "Why?"
Chu Xianping replied softly, "Sir, everyone knows that the Wei family is at odds with the imperial court. Dafeng naturally wants to maintain this situation, so how could they let anything happen to you?"
“.”
A word of advice can wake a person up from a dream. After Chu Xianping's words, Wei Changtian immediately reacted.
Indeed, the two countries of Dafeng and Daning are currently at war, while the Wei family is thriving in Daning, which is equivalent to helping Dafeng in a roundabout way.
In this case, if I died in Dafeng, Wei Xianzhi would most likely "reconcile with Ning Yongnian" and join hands to deal with foreign enemies.
Dafeng undoubtedly does not want to see this happen, so it will definitely ensure its own safety in Fengyuan.
What's more, Li Wutong needs his help.
"Um"
Nodding, Wei Changtian felt relieved a little, but not completely at ease.
There are not many top-three masters around me, so I feel a little nervous.
"Brother Chu, send a message to the Freemasons and ask them to go to the Tianluo Sect."
"Call my grandpa!"
