Niu Dashan looked at her in surprise, "There is such a good place, where is it?"
If there was such a good place, he would naturally be willing to take his family there. Who wants to suffer here when they have a good life?
"My hometown." Lin Yan smiled apologetically, "It was my fault for not telling the truth before. My hometown is completely different from Fengcheng. Although it is not very wealthy, it is much better than Fengcheng. There are no officials. Exploitation, you don’t have to pay to enter the city, as long as people are diligent, they will definitely be able to live a good life.”
Niu Dashan was shocked and said in disbelief: "Why have I never heard of such a good place? Where is it? Is it far from Fengcheng?"
"Ning Cheng, do you know?" Lin Yan asked.
Niu Dashan nodded, "I heard it's a small town, far inferior to Fengcheng. Are you trying to frame me?"
"What I told is the truth. Ning Cheng joined the Sun League two years ago and is no longer what he was before. Didn't you hear the news?"
"No. I was born and raised in Fengcheng and have never been to other places. But I heard people say that Fengcheng is already the biggest and best city here." Niu Da questioned: "You are indeed right. so good?"
Lin Yan said firmly: "Believe it or not, seeing is believing. There is no need for me to lie and deceive you. You and I met by chance. I also see that your life is really miserable, and I can't bear to keep you in the dark."
"Ningcheng has surrendered to the Sun Alliance. Fengcheng has already known the news. We have fought secretly several times, but he treats the people as fools and keeps it a secret. The Lord of Fengcheng is afraid of the Sun Alliance and hid the news because he doesn't want you to know. The situation at hand. What I just said is true. The Sun Alliance poses a huge threat to Fengcheng, and the officials in Fengcheng definitely don’t want the news to spread."
Niu Dashan felt that he was hearing hallucinations. What Lin Yan said had such an impact on him that it was difficult for him to react for a while.
Lin Yan didn't push him. Seeing that his expression returned to normal, he continued: "The Sun Alliance has always welcomed foreigners to settle down. As long as you voluntarily become an alliance citizen, you can move your family there. Think about it carefully. If you want to go, I can Help you. In addition to Ningcheng, there are eleven cities in the Sun Alliance. You can settle wherever you want."
After a while, Niu Dashan asked leisurely: "Can I go to Ningcheng to take a look? It's a big deal to move my family. If I'm not sure, I won't know."
"Understood. As long as you are willing, you can go to Ningcheng. In fact, it is only more than 500 miles away from Ningcheng, and you can make a round trip in five or six days."
Knowing that the impact on him was too great, Lin Yan stopped talking and went shopping with Mi Yang to get to know Fengcheng.
This big city, which she has always regarded as her treasure, has a dense population and compact streets and houses.
There are many shops, but not many people go shopping. Occasionally, you can encounter pedestrians who are in a hurry. Most of them look sad and walk quickly with their heads down, as if they are being chased by something.
The only people who dared to speak loudly on the street were the powerful people who went out with their servants in droves.
The evil class, the harsh officials, no one cares about the life and death of the people at all.
Lin Yan felt particularly bad. Being in a place like this made her feel even more uneasy.
Seeing it with your own eyes is still different from the information collected on paper.
When I turned the corner and was about to step onto the main road, I was sternly ordered by the soldiers on the roadside not to step on it.
The carriages of dignitaries passed by, the roads were controlled, and all pedestrians gave way.
Such domineering behavior is commonplace for passers-by. They are afraid of disturbing the nobles, so they quickly get out of the way.
Lin Yan and Mi Yang reacted a moment too slowly and glanced at the approaching motorcade from afar.
Her body froze, her eyes widened, and she carefully identified the person on the horse opposite him who was very familiar.
Although she hadn't seen him for many years, she still recognized him immediately.
That familiar look in his eyes, his leering attitude, arrogant and flamboyant.
I never expected to see Xu Hui in Fengcheng.
I haven't seen him for five or six years, and I receive letters from him every once in a while. The last time was two months ago, when he was still in Qicheng, planning secretly.
Mi Yang had never seen Xu Hui before. When he saw Lin Yan staring in one direction with a strange expression, he whispered: "What's wrong? The soldiers over there noticed you."
A soldier on the roadside looked at Lin Yan with sharp eyes. Mi Yang looked around and realized that the passers-by had their heads lowered and did not dare to look up at the powerful people.
She stared straight at him, too conspicuous.
Lin Yan came to his senses and quickly lowered his head. When the soldier saw this, he stared at her for a while before turning around to look elsewhere.
As the motorcade approached, Lin Yan quickly raised his head and glanced at Xu Hui, who happened to look over.
The two looked at each other, seeing surprise and tacit understanding in each other's eyes, and then quickly separated, seemingly casually.
After waiting for a long time for the motorcade to pass, the streets became lively again.
Lin Yan heard people talking. The carriage that just passed by was the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't know who was sitting in the carriage.
The city lord, the Ling family, has a large population and many masters. It is the largest family in Fengcheng. With its power and status combined, it is the absolute overlord in Fengcheng. It is also the main culprit of the decay and darkness in Fengcheng today.
Not knowing how Xu Hui got into the Ling family, Lin Yan decided to find a chance to meet him.
Mi Yang endured it and asked, "What were you looking at just now?" She was so focused, and it was rare to see her like this.
The soldier just stared at him for at least three seconds, but she didn't react at all, which was very strange.
Mysterious people have sharp five senses, which are different from ordinary people. They can notice someone staring at them for a second.
"A person." Lin Yan said excitedly, "I really didn't expect to meet him here. When we find a chance, let's go and meet him together."
"who?"
Lin Yan looked at him with a smile, "You should have heard of his name. His name is Xu Hui, the genius of the alliance."
Mi Yang thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of it, but there is very little information about him."
"Yes, he hasn't been back in recent years and has been forgotten by people. I think back then, when he emerged and became a sensation in Sun City. At that time, anyone with a little bit of talent was ambitious, hard-working, and wanted to be in the league. To have a role to play."
"Xu Hui is an anomaly. He has great talent, but he is uninhibited. In the eyes of normal people, he is not doing his job properly and doing nothing. Until he was curious and followed us to Ancheng, and he has taken root here since then, opening up territory for the alliance. , has become an unknown hero. To this day, some people still mention it from time to time, but it is a pity that the genius is buried."
When it comes to the past, Lin Yan wants to clear Xu Hui's name. He has quietly done a lot over the years and should not be forgotten.
The two of them walked out for a day and returned to Niu Dashan's house near evening.
Say goodbye to the Niu family and prepare to stay at the inn.
Niu Dashan sent the person out, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but said: "I want to go to Ningcheng, can you help me?"
He thought about it all day, and his heart was ready to move. The place Lin Yan talked about was so beautiful that it made people yearn for it.
If he could see with his own eyes that such a good place existed, of course he would be willing to move his family with him.
Hearing this, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Okay. You can find me at the inn tomorrow."
After arriving at the inn and settling in, Lin Yan said to Mi Yang, "Niu Dashan wants to go to Ningcheng, and I want you to escort him."
Mi Yang: "I can't leave. I'm your guard and I can't leave my post without permission."
"In urgent matters, ordinary people can't hurt me at all. You have also seen the situation of Niu Dashan's family. Let them go to Ningcheng to take a look. There is no need to consider what choice to make."
Ordinary people just want to live. Fengcheng and the Alliance are completely different. Anyone who has seen them with their own eyes will naturally make comparisons.
Mi Yang was silent for a while, knowing that her decision was difficult to change, so she could only agree.
Early the next morning, as soon as Lin Yan woke up and washed his face, Niu Dashan arrived.
"You came so early. After one night, have you really thought it through?"
Niu Dashan's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. After suffering for a whole night, he said firmly: "Think clearly. Whether I live or die here is my own business."
The wilderness is dangerous, so if you dare to go out and walk, you have to rely on it. As a hunter with mediocre abilities, he never thought that one day he would leave Fengcheng and go to another city.
I was shocked when I first heard it, but I really made the decision and felt very happy. No matter what the outcome is, this is an opportunity. If the bet is won, the whole family can escape. If the bet is lost, it is nothing more than a cheap life.
Before coming, he had already said goodbye to his family and made preparations.
"Girl, when can I leave?"
"No hurry." Lin Yan looked at him with a smile. He was indeed a courageous and courageous person. They had only known each other for two days and they were able to make a big bet on this. "How could I let you take risks alone."
Niu Dashan asked anxiously: "What do you mean?"
"Do you have a trustworthy friend that you can walk with? You will also have a companion on the road."
"Can it still be like this? It cost a lot along the way. We have no money and can't afford a horse." Niu Dashan was confused. These days, if you take more people out, you need to prepare more things, and the cost is not small.
Lin Yan said, "As long as you can find someone, Mi Chong will help you hunt cattle and horses after leaving Fengcheng. I will never let you walk to Ningcheng on two legs."
"What are you talking about? Mi Chong can hunt cattle and horses?" Niu Dashan looked at her suspiciously, "Bison and wild horses are very fierce, and most people can't control them. Most of the cattle and horses in the city are domesticated and can be hunted and tamed. Cows and horses must be very powerful people.”
No matter how he looked at it, Mi Chong's skinny body and childish face did not look like a great person.
The look in his eyes was so obvious that it was difficult for Lin Yan not to see it. "Seeing is believing. No matter what I say, it's useless. Since you can trust us, I treat you sincerely. As long as you go voluntarily, you can hunt the cattle and horses." It belongs to you personally.”
There were too many people like Niu Dashan in Fengcheng, and she was not greedy. A dozen people would be enough.
She had already thought about it last night. The first group would bring a dozen people, escorted by Mi Yang, and leave Fengcheng to look for cattle, horses and sheep. With Mi Yang's ability, it would not be difficult to tame them.
When these people see the difference in Ningcheng in person, come back to convince more people, and secretly transfer and spread the news, one day, the alliance will cannibalize the giant Fengcheng.
Niu Dashan questioned Mi Yang's ability, but he couldn't help but be moved. A cow and a horse are very valuable assets. But considering that the journey is difficult and the road ahead is unknown, he cautiously said: "I will take the risk on my own, and I can't bring my friends with me."
"I'm also thinking about you. You will inevitably be lonely alone. You also know Mi Chong's temperament. Wouldn't it be depressing if you stare at each other on the road? Bring a few more people and have acquaintances with you, you will be more confident. Your family will also be more confident. rest assured."
"I told my family to go hunting." Niu Dashan did not dare to tell the truth. He knew that his family were timid and unwilling to take risks, so they would definitely not agree.
Lin Yan smiled and said: "If you find a few familiar hunters to go with, your family will feel more at ease. It's better to go out together than to go out alone."
In order for Niu Dashan to call a few more people, she said sincerely: "Brother Dashan, I guarantee that you can arrive at Ningcheng safely. My brother and I have walked all the way from Ningcheng and are familiar with the road conditions. Even if we encounter a herd of animals, we will Don’t be afraid. So, if you go with confidence and boldness, your trip will be worthwhile.”
Mi Yang suddenly said: "What she said is true. I will definitely protect you and send you to Ningcheng and return home safely."
Seeing that Niu Dashan looked hesitant, he couldn't decide.
Mi Yang saw the wooden table in the house and chopped it down with his bare hands. The wooden table shattered into pieces.
Niu Dashan was startled, his eyes changed when he looked at Mi Yang, and he said: "Let's test our strength. If you can beat me, I will find someone else."
"How to compare?" Lin Yan looked at him curiously, "Brother Dashan, my brother is very strong, you have to be prepared."
A minute later, Niu Dashan responded to Mi Yang's request and punched him even harder without any scruples.
In order to test, he left no room and punched Mi Yang with all his strength.
Seeing that his fist was about to hit Mi Yang's stomach, Niu Dashan hesitated when he saw that the other party did not resist him. He had to gather his strength and not really hurt the person.
Then, he realized that his fist seemed to be smashed into the mud, but he could not move forward an inch.
Niu Dashan did not believe in evil and waved his arm vigorously again, but still got the same result.
This was completely different from what he expected. The thin boy opposite him didn't move at all, didn't raise his hands or move his feet, and caught his fist with unpredictable means.
He couldn't figure it out and murmured: "What's going on? How could this happen? How on earth could it be done..."
A few minutes later, seeing that his expression had returned to clarity, Lin Yan said with a smile: "Brother Dashan, how are you? Now believe me, I really didn't lie to you. My brother is extremely talented. He has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. His ability , getting more and more powerful..."
Under Lin Yan's constant deception, it was more likely that Mi Yang showed strength that Niu Dashan agreed to find someone to accompany him.
In just one day, he found eight people, all of them strong men, hunters who usually went out to hunt in the city to make a living.
Life was difficult, so they came together out of trust in Niu Dashan.
After everyone gathered, they discussed the travel arrangements, and each went home to rest for the night, and then gathered at the city gate the next morning.
Lin Yan sent the person away at the city gate, and her horse was also given to Niu Dashan.
After turning around to pay the money and return to the city, Lin Yan went straight to the city lord's mansion without stopping.
It had been two days since she met Xu Hui, and it was time for her to meet her old friend. She was sure that Xu Hui also recognized her when they looked at each other that day.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city, close to the Ling family's residence, and is surrounded by the dignitaries of Fengcheng.
