C2453 The Restaurant Heard

1"This is a good checkpoint, the guards are so lax" Huang Feng thought as he walked on the streets of the pass.

Initially, he thought that it would be very troublesome for someone like him, who had no way to lead the way, to enter such a checkpoint. After all, this kind of city was usually the front line to defend against the enemy. As for those people with unknown identities, they must be very strict in their investigations. Under normal circumstances, people who did not have a guide wanted to enter ordinary cities. It would be very difficult, let alone entering this type of pass. Huang Feng thought that he would be stopped outside the city, or that he would be stopped by violent soldiers. He would be arrested immediately.

However, the truth was not what Huang Feng thought. There were indeed soldiers guarding the city gate. However... The soldiers were lazy. Apart from charging entry fees for the people who entered the city, they also charged entry fees for the people who entered the city. There were no unnecessary questions. They just looked at Huang Feng. They let him in. As for the guide, they didn't even mention it.

Although this had indeed reduced a lot of trouble for Huang Feng. He successfully entered the city, but regarding the attitude of these Great Lu Dynasties soldiers... Huang Feng couldn't help but complain in his heart. If there was a spy... Wouldn't it be very easy for them to sneak in?

It was no wonder that the Great Lu Dynasty had been defeated by the Fengjue Country in a row on the battlefield. This sense of vigilance was too weak.

Of course, what Huang Feng didn't know was that the defenses here weren't so lax. Before the great battle with the Fengjue Country, the defenses here were still very tight. It was very difficult for a shady family like Huang Feng to enter.

However, everything changed after the battle. After the crushing defeat, the control of this place was snatched away by the Fengjue Country. They were burning, killing, robbing, and destroying everything that was valuable. If it wasn't robbed, then it was destroyed. Now, although this pass had been returned to the Great Lu Dynasty by the Fengjue Country, it was still destroyed. But it's not worth much anymore. Without any valuable items, the city's defense had been destroyed. Those people from the Fengjue Country... They probably didn't care about this place anymore. Therefore... The Great Lu Dynasty guardian who came here felt that there was nothing worth remembering here. Naturally, they relaxed a lot when they were defending.

In addition, there were not many Great Lu Dynasties soldiers here. They also had to clean up the trash in the city, repair the city's defenses, etc. There were many things that needed to be done, and they had no intention of defending the city. Apart from a few soldiers guarding the city gate, the entire city wall was set up. After charging some entrance fees, there were no other soldiers. On the city walls, there was not even a single patrolling soldier.

Of course, what they did was related to the Fengjue Country and the Great Lu Dynasty signing a ceasefire agreement. The Fengjue Country had come to receive the family in order to not cause any misunderstandings. They even stopped at a place very far away from the city, causing the Great Lu Dynasty generals and soldiers to... When they saw the sincerity of the Fengjue Country, they also believed that in a short period of time... They would not attack the Great Lu Dynasty. Since that was the case... Why would they waste so much energy defending the city?

This also led to Huang Feng easily entering the city. He also let some merchants who saw the business opportunity rush over. After the war, whether it was the Great Lu Dynasty or the Fengjue Country, they would need a lot of goods. This was a business opportunity, although it was not safe outside. However, for the high profit, many merchants still chose to take the risk. As long as they succeeded, the profit they earned would be enough for them to enjoy for a long time.

Therefore, when Huang Feng walked on the streets of this dilapidated city, what he saw wasn't complete desolation, but rather many people walking around. There were also many merchants peddling. All of them came from different places in the Great Lu Dynasty. Many people wanted to leave seclusion to do business outside the pass. This was an important path for them to exit seclusion. Therefore, everyone would gather here before coming out of seclusion. At the same time, they would also trade for what they wanted here.

As long as the items inside the pass were sold outside the pass... It would be much better than trading in the pass. This was also the reason why so many people knew about the dangers outside the pass and still wanted to go outside. However, for safety reasons, many merchants would also come out of seclusion... They would find some guards to surround their belongings to prevent them from being targeted by the bandits on the way.

However, those who could afford to hire guards were usually big merchants. Perhaps it was some people from the Chamber of Commerce, but those small merchants... They would choose to gather together and then set off. This way, if there was an accident on the road, it would be good to take care of them. Of course, there were also some small merchants who gathered together. They would gather some money to hire some guards.

Therefore, in this city, other than those merchants who wanted to leave the pass and take risks, this situation had also happened before. However, the guards in the city were still very strong. They would not allow those guards to walk around with swords and swords on the streets.

However, at this moment, the guards in the city were already very weak. The strength of the Great Lu Dynasty's guards had been greatly reduced, and now they were all busy repairing the city's defenses. They were cleaning up the trash in the city, so they did not have much energy to care about the guards hired by the merchants. This also led to... Huang Feng was on the street. He saw a lot of people wearing swords and sabers on the street.

Although there were many people wearing swords and sabers, Huang Feng was not worried at all. These people might have some skills compared to ordinary people. But... In front of him, it was obvious that they were not enough. Even if these people attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for Huang Feng.

As for the other people on the street, they were all equipped with swords and sabers. Previously, the residents of this pass... Some of them had even been captured as prisoners and taken to Fengjue Country. There weren't many people here, with the exception of the soldiers who were guarding the Great Lu Dynasty. Only a small portion of them had just moved in. Of course. There were also some people who had escaped earlier, and now they had returned.

Compared to those terrifying Fengjue Country people, these people who wore swords and sabers... They were obviously more trustworthy. In fact, these people could even give the residents of the city a sense of security. After all, if a war really happened, these people would be able to fight.

Huang Feng walked into a big restaurant and ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine. He just ate it and observed his surroundings.

Up until now, Huang Feng had nothing specific he wanted to do. He was still leisurely strolling around. This kind of situation was rarely seen before. However, Huang Feng wasn't in a hurry. After all, he had already arrived in this spatial zone. He could come back in the future. He might have any plans or ideas. He could slowly execute them all.

"Hey, have you heard? Wang Yao asked. About ten miles outside the city, there were people from the Fengjue Country camping there. I heard that the army is quite large. " While Huang Feng was drinking, a few people on the table beside him were also drinking. They chatted as they chatted. From the looks of it, they were probably merchants who were preparing to come out of seclusion.

"Who doesn't know about this?" Another person said, "Those Fengjue Country people have been here for almost two days. But... I heard that they are here to pick up our Her Highness the Princess, not to attack this place. So, don't worry. "

"Speaking of this marriage alliance, it makes people angry. Our Great Lu Dynasty, the Heavenly Dynasty, actually needs a marriage alliance to maintain it. This is really a disgrace to our ancestors." The person beside him drank a mouthful of wine and said.

"Who says so?" Another person said, "Many people are very angry about this matter. I heard that the Rebellion Army even attacked the bridal escort team and tried to snatch the princess back. However, it seems like they didn't succeed."

"I've heard about this as well. I heard that both sides had a great war in Cangling Mountain for a day. In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses and retreated. They didn't manage to snatch the princess back."

Everyone started talking about the marriage alliance. Apparently, many people were still brooding over this matter and couldn't accept it. However, they were just ordinary merchants. Apart from being angry, there was nothing else they could do.

As for the matter of the Rebellion Force ambushing and sending their families away, they had gone all over the place. The well-informed merchants had also heard about it. They were better than ordinary civilians. They had known about this earlier. In this era where news was not developed, even if the two places were only a dozen miles apart, what happened in another place... It might take a few months to get here.

However, these merchants obviously had their own information channels. Therefore, they would know some things in advance. However, they didn't know much either. They would even hear wrong news, which was very normal. After all, this place couldn't be compared to modern times, where there was a great delay and possibility of a great error in the transmission of messages.

"I also heard that this time, we have an idea about this wedding team. It's not just those people from the Rebellion Army, there are also people from the surrounding countries. " At this moment, a middle-aged man said mysteriously, "You might not know, but during this period of time outside of the pass... Suddenly, there are a lot of mounted bandits. Do you think there are more people in the pass than before? Some of them are worried about the horse bandits, so they dare not come out of seclusion. We will temporarily stay in the pass. "

"I was wondering why there were so many people here. Even if they wanted to make money from the war, there shouldn't be so many people gathered here." Another person suddenly understood.

Although there were many people who wanted to make money from the war, they usually wouldn't stay here for too long. They either came out of seclusion or went to other places in the pass. They wouldn't stay in a place where there weren't many residents. It turned out that... It wasn't that they didn't want to leave, but that they didn't dare to. They couldn't leave either.2

"I've also heard about the mounted bandits. I heard that there were many of them. I've also stayed here for a few days and didn't dare come out of seclusion. I wanted to wait for more people to leave together so that it would be safer." The person beside him said.
