In this way, listening to the old woodcutter's nagging complaints, Guan Heng chatted with him until late at night.
The next day, under the old woodcutter's repeated instructions, Guan Heng once again promised to deliver a message for his daughter, and then continued on the road!
In the early morning, the dense swamp fog that covered the mountains and plains had dissipated, and Guan Heng followed a narrow forest path next to the wooden house where the old woodcutter lived, heading straight towards the road leading to Dia City.
After getting on the main road, Guan Heng discovered that there were many disaster victims in ragged clothes and with their families coming and going.
After asking a few travelers who were in a hurry, Guan Heng found out that the other two cities within a hundred miles of Dia City were either harassed and plundered by orcs, or encountered a wave of monsters. Being displaced, there was really no other way, so I took my family and the rest of the family and fled to the city of Dia!
"Really, there is no peace anywhere in this land!" After Guan Heng watched, he discovered that among the fleeing team, there were not only poor people, but also many wealthy people who wore gold and silver and had slaves and maids!
"It seems that even if you have money, you can't buy peace, and if you have money, you will be killed!" Guan Heng, who has sharp eyes and is extremely alert, quickly noticed something strange, but he did not say anything, but just kept it. Among the crowd, follow them slowly towards the direction of Qiandia City.
"Miss, wait! Oh! Don't run around!" At this time, a middle-aged woman shouted from the distance: "Oh my god! Little ancestor, can't you let me worry a little?"
"Hehehe - Aunt Kasha, come after me!" A clear girl's voice suddenly sounded behind Guan Heng.
However, the next moment, the reckless girl who was running turned around to tease and provoke the nanny, but because she was not paying attention to the road ahead, she hit Guan Heng's back with a bang!
"Uh!" Guan Heng subconsciously touched the egg on his back: "Huh, luckily it's still intact!"
Only then did Guan Heng look back and saw that the girl in a gorgeous skirt had fallen to the ground.
The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was pretty and cute, with blond hair shining in the sun and a side ponytail. Her reaction was not slow. After being knocked down, she stood up immediately!
"Hey, big brother!" The blond little loli asked with her hands on her hips, "Did you bump into me on purpose?"
"Uh...haha!" Facing the little girl's weird question, Guan Heng smiled and shrugged, "If I had a pair of eyes on my back, your assumption would be true!"
"Yeah, you're right!" Little Loli smiled sweetly after hearing this: "Then I won't blame you!"
"I'm going back to my family's motorcade now!" the little girl said, pointing to a place where two or three carriages were traveling not far behind.
"Where is it?!" His heart moved slightly, Guan Heng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he then smiled and said to the little girl: "I also have to bear some responsibility for your fall, sister. Who asked me to stand in the middle of the road? To express my apology, I will tell you a little secret, you can tell it to the adults in your family!"
"Huh?" The little girl looked extremely curious: "What's the secret?"
Guan Heng leaned down and whispered in the girl's ear: "Go and tell the adults on the carriage that there are some bad guys with weapons targeting you about a few hundred meters behind your convoy. Be careful!" That's it, I'm leaving first!" After Guan Heng said that, without waiting for the girl to make any reaction, he turned around and left!
The reason why Guan Heng reminded the girl to be careful of bad guys was because he had just walked past the group of people with weapons and found that these people all had stern looks and evil looks, and they all exuded the aura of evil spirits all over their bodies. There is a faint smell of blood and evil spirit, and anyone with a discerning eye will know that he is a robber and bandit!
"It looks like there are a lot of escorts in the girl's motorcade!" Guan Heng thought as he walked: "I just want to remind them that they will be on guard. Even if they are invincible, they should be able to escape by throwing away the bad guys. !”
"After all, this is in public!" Guan Heng smiled slightly: "As long as the convoy enters the city quickly, the bad guys will never dare to rob again. I can be regarded as doing a good thing unintentionally!"
Then proceeding a few kilometers, we have arrived at the outskirts of Dia City.
There are towering canyons on both sides of the place, with only a wide road in the middle leading directly to the city gate not far ahead. Dia City is a typical medium-sized city that is used half as a residence for the people and half as a military fortress. There are not many permanent troops stationed in the city, only four or five hundred people.
But the local city-defending general, Carson, ignored the military regulations of the Kauru Kingdom and hired a group of mercenaries without authorization to act as his own personal guard!
"Hey, hey, hey, anyone who wants to enter the city, please prick up your ears and listen!" Standing at the gate of the city, howling with his hands on his hips, was a chief of the city defense army wearing leather armor.
"I have received an order from Lord Carson, the general who defended the city. I am now informing you that everyone who enters the city must pay fifty copper coins as a handling fee for temporarily living here!" The commander of the city defender shouted impatiently: "Poor people with no money are not allowed to enter Dia City. They all should get away from me!"
"What are you talking about?!" The crowd of refugees who were eager to enter the city suddenly started to make a noise: "The reason why we dragged our families all the way to Dia city is because our families were affected by the disaster and were in trouble. , now you can’t even eat, how can I get the money for you?”
"Let us in!! Protest against the unreasonable exorbitant taxes!!"
"To hell with that shameless money junkie Carson!!"
The angry victims were roaring and the crowd was excited. The situation was about to become more serious!
"Damn it! Are you poor bastards going to rebel?" The commander of the city defense army waved his hand angrily: "The archers on the tower are ready -"
"Swish, swish, swish!" At this command, hundreds of archers suddenly appeared on the city tower, and countless arrowheads flashing with cold light were all aimed at the refugees below the city!
"Did you see that?" Waving his fists at the refugees, the commander of the city defenders yelled extremely arrogantly: "Do you want to become a hedgehog? Those who have money, pay the money to enter the city, and those who don't have money, get out!"
"This Carson who has killed a thousand swords, well, it's more important to save his life, so stay away first..."
Facing the cold and merciless arrows on the city wall, most people were scared to retreat, but at this moment, something unexpected happened!
"Wait a minute! Lord city defender, I have something to say!" A middle-aged man wearing a butler's uniform suddenly separated from the hesitant and dilemma-ridden people at this moment, and strode to the city gate. forward.
