In the inner city, when the sky was completely white, voices began to be heard in each shop.
People breathe in the white mist and walk out. If the neighbors next door happen to go out at this time, and they meet each other, they may not look at each other on weekdays, but their faces also show a bit of enthusiasm for reunion after a long absence, as if they haven't seen each other for many years. We started chatting like old friends.
"The weather is really nice. When did you come back?"
"I know the news is a bit late. I just came back last night. Have you heard anything about these recent things?"
"I heard that our city lord died. Some people went to the city lord's palace to see. Good guy, the buildings near the city lord's palace were burned into ruins."
"so serious?"
The man who was not sensitive to the information looked shocked. After a while, he sighed: "In that case, we really wrongly blamed the Guards. I thought..."
The man paused for a moment. After hearing the news, he returned to his home in the inner city. What he was most worried about was that the most valuable items in his home would be plundered. As a result, what happened when he left was what happened when he came back.
"Hey, what did you think? In fact, I can see clearly that no matter who the city lord is, it will be the same. Besides, the first ones to be affected will be those high-ranking officials. As long as we are not stupid enough to fight against each other, we will die even if we want to. Not qualified enough.”
"Well, what you said makes sense. Hey, where are you going, aren't you going to buy some food?"
The man who was pulled looked a little unhappy. After thinking about it, he pulled his neighbor aside and said, "Someone went out for a walk yesterday and I heard that they came back with a lot of good things. I just told you about this." , do you want to try your luck together?"
The neighbor's eyes lit up. The City Lord's Mansion is the core of the inner city. Aren't the dignitaries living in the nearby buildings? He thought of something and hesitated: "Isn't this possible? Even if the city lord is gone and the guards are still there, will those soldiers not care about it?"
"I asked a few people about this. The Guards only appeared near the city lord's palace, and no one was seen elsewhere. Moreover, there was a lot of noise at the south gate in the middle of the night last night. It seems that some troops went to the outer city. This This opportunity comes only once in a lifetime, if you miss it, you will never have such a good opportunity again.”
The two of them gathered together and discussed quietly, returned home, grabbed a frightening weapon, and headed towards the city lord's palace.
Along the way, they also bumped into a lot of sneaky-looking people, walking in the alleys and looking around. When they looked over, the other person immediately looked back warily, and the atmosphere became tense for no reason. The two sides immediately regarded each other as competitors.
"I said, why don't we go back directly? We are not martial arts practitioners, so even if we encounter good things, we may not be able to take them with us."
"If you want to go back, go back by yourself. You don't know that prices in our inner city are already ridiculously high. I don't know when my small shop will open. If we don't find some opportunities, my family will go hungry."
After hearing his neighbor's sincere words, the man who retreated began to frown.
They made a little money in this way, and there were many people who went through all kinds of hardships to move their families into the inner city. In the past, they were considered dignitaries in the inner city in front of their poor relatives in the outer city, but only they knew that they had become What.
People like them are extremely eager to squeeze into the core class, but they are limited by their abilities. Most of them have no chance to leap over the dragon gate and are always on the edge of power.
After this chaos, they have begun to feel some tangible changes.
They finally understood helplessly that their lives would never be able to return to the stable and wealthy life of the past.
And people's hearts often begin to change when they realize that reality is unbearable.
After all, at certain times in life, staying alive is the most important thing, but after the life-and-death crisis has passed, most of life is spent thinking about how to live and how to live better.
This desire to live a better life is so clearly reflected in the hearts of these people who have come up with some ideas outside their own homes.
Seeing that his neighbor didn't really turn around and go back after all, the man next to him was relieved, patted his chest and said: "It is said that wealth is gained through danger. Our abilities are limited and our ambitions are not big. We should do it anyway." You have to think about your wife and children, let’s find the right opportunity to fuck him hard, and then we can live peacefully.”
The neighbor agreed vaguely and glanced to both sides, already getting nervous in advance.
As a result, the man who had slapped his chest so loudly just now suddenly grabbed the neighbor's arm and pulled him back. The neighbor was in great pain: "You..."
When he glanced over, his face froze suddenly. His feet gave way and he was pulled back several steps. He was so frightened that the weapons in his pockets clinked to the ground.
On the ground, there was a kitchen knife and a dagger.
Mu Qing glanced at their feet, frowned slightly, looked at the two people who were shrinking their necks, and said, "What good things are coming out ahead?"
When he flew towards the City Lord's Mansion, he saw many pedestrians appearing in the alleys crisscrossing the streets. He didn't pay attention at first, but along the way, he found that many people were heading towards the City Lord's Mansion, so he paid attention. .
He only heard some of the conversation between the two in the alley, but seeing the frightened look of the two was really puzzling.
"No, nothing good."
Facing Mu Qing who seemed to fall from the sky, the two of them were so frightened that they were stunned for a long time before stammering out a sentence.
Mu Qing looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and said seriously: "I came here all the way and found a lot of people walking in the same direction as you. Is there something wrong with the City Lord's Mansion?"
He was still alive, and the handsome young man in front of him didn't seem to be a bad person. One of them finally had the courage to say: "Young Master, I'm really sorry to say that we came out this early in the morning because we actually wanted to..."
The man next to him grabbed the speaker's wrist. Mu Qing gave him a faint look. The man was startled, and he let go of his hand, kicking the things at his feet aside.
The man smiled bitterly and continued: "We don't dare to do anything bad. In fact, we just want to pick up some leaks. I heard that there are many good things in the ruins near the City Lord's Mansion."
nice one?
Mu Qing frowned slightly. His first reaction was that it was a magic weapon or something, but he immediately reacted. He had heard from Xing Fei that Bai Hao had done it in some crowded places in order to make the inner city chaotic enough. There are several real treasury, could these people just go to the treasury?
Seeing Mu Qing looking towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, the two of them hesitated to leave quietly, but they were really worried that they might misjudge and die, so they could only stand in front of Mu Qing like two wooden stakes.
"Sir, sir? Can we leave?"
Mu Qing came back to his senses, pondered for a moment and said: "There are very dangerous things under the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion. That's why I went there. You go to the guard camp at the south gate and tell each other about this. They Will know how to do it.”
Their faces suddenly turned into bitter melons, and they stammered: "Sir, we realize our mistake and will go back now. Besides, haven't we picked up something yet? Isn't that right?"
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not asking you to surrender, I'm just asking you to deliver a letter and tell them what you people plan to do."
Mu Qing also knew that this explanation would most likely not dispel the suspicion of the two of them, so he threw a token to the two of them, "This is the token given to me by Commander Xing. They will not do anything to you when they see this token. "
The man who kept talking hurriedly caught the token. After looking at the token, he raised his head and looked at Mu Qing, hesitatingly saying: "What should I call the young master? How can we make them believe more?"
"My name is Mu Qing."
