Chapter 699 Xanadu
Dongping City is not big, and its topography has been deeply imprinted in Tang Tianxing's mind.
The roof to land on was not chosen at random.
Instead, Tang Tianxing tried his best to get as close as possible to the city lord's mansion in Dongping City while ensuring that no one was aware of his whereabouts.
During the flight, Tang Tianxing was also surprised to find that the situation in Dongping City was much better than he imagined.
Nowadays, the province of Nantes is in troubled times, and the province of Fengxi is not much better.
Therefore, most of the cities in these two major provinces are already in turmoil.
The soldiers were on guard, but the civilians were also terrified.
Many cities even have curfew regulations.
For example, in Yufeng City where Tang Tianxing went before, no one dared to move in the city at night except for the patrolling soldiers.
But here in Dongping City, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is brightly lit.
He glided into the city from mid-air and saw the situation in the city clearly.
Dongping City is not only bustling with people, but also the various wine stalls, brothels and other places are very lively, just like a scene of peace and prosperity.
The roof where Tang Tianxing landed was on top of a three-story restaurant, and he could clearly hear the sounds of drinking and fist-fighting downstairs.
But is Dongping City really in peace and prosperity?
At this moment, no city in the province of Nantes or even the province of Fengxi dares to say that it can stay out of the world and regard this war as nothing.
This city is really weird from the outside to the inside.
Therefore, this made Tang Tianxing want to catch the guard guarding here immediately and interrogate him to see what was going on in this guy's mind.
While carefully hiding himself on the roof, Tang Tianxing was also paying attention to the movements in the City Lord's Mansion.
And this was another point that surprised him.
It was very quiet over there at the City Lord's Mansion.
While the entire Dongping City was bustling with activity, the City Lord's Mansion, which was the core of the city, became the loneliest place.
It looks like there is nothing.
There are no guards at the door, and there are no lights inside the mansion. The Dongping City Lord's Mansion just stands so lonely in the darkness. If you have slightly poor eyesight, you won't even be able to detect the existence of this building.
This is the city lord's mansion!
Tang Tianxing frowned slightly.
With his observation ability, he could tell that there didn't seem to be an ambush in the City Lord's Mansion.
Moreover, who would have known that he would come to Dongping City today to inquire about it?
Before Cheng Hong received the news, the most likely possibility was that Chen Ze and others were still ambushing outside the blockade, right?
This kind of strangeness in Dongping City has far exceeded Tang Tianxing's understanding.
At the same time, it was beyond Chen Ze's understanding.
It is true that Tang Tianxing is not Chen Ze's subordinate, but the mark on Tang Tianxing has never been cancelled. Therefore, Chen Ze can still see the situation near Tang Tianxing within a certain range.
Although it is just an overlooking map, it cannot provide him with a video function like Chen Ming and others.
But even from the large number of light spots near Tang Tianxing, Chen Ze could roughly judge what the situation in Dongping City was like at the moment.
Even he was at a loss.
The situation in Dongping City was not only beyond Tang Tianxing's expectation, but also beyond Chen Ze's expectation.
Is it possible...
Suddenly he had a guess in his mind.
Then he shook his head again.
No matter what the situation was, he still believed that Tang Tianxing would not let him down.
For now, he can only wait for news from Tang Tianxing. Even if the situation in Dongping City is very strange, Chen Ze believes that Tang Tianxing will definitely complete the mission.
Why bother wasting your brain thinking about this when you can just ask?
Chen Ze rubbed his eyebrows and continued to pay attention to Tang Tianxing's movements by closing his eyes and concentrating.
As for Tang Tianxing, after a brief observation, he took immediate action based on his superior martial arts skills.
No matter what the situation is in the City Lord's Mansion, it is still his first target.
There was not even a single guard at the City Lord's Mansion, which gave Tang Tianxing a good opportunity. Without any trouble, he was already like a ghost in the dark night. After just a few steps, he was already there without anyone noticing.
Entered the mansion.
Dongping City is not big, and the city lord's mansion is not big either. It is just equivalent to the residences of ordinary wealthy households in big cities such as Bo'an City.
With Tang Tianxing's skill, he took a few breaths to browse the entire city lord's mansion.
But...no one!
He didn't see even a single person in the entire city lord's mansion.
There are no generals, no guards, and no servants in the mansion.
And in the process of searching the city lord's mansion, he even discovered that no one seemed to have lived in this mansion for a long time.
There are a large number of fallen leaves in the yard that no one has cleaned, and in the main hall, a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the tabletops.
At least... it must be a month, right?
Tang Tianxing judged this in his heart.
After confirming that there was indeed no one in the city lord's mansion, he did not stop. He first found some ordinary clothes in the mansion to change into, and then walked out from the back door.
There is no curfew in Dongping City. With the current weather, the city is brightly lit and bustling with people.
After changing his clothes, Tang Tianxing lowered his head slightly and quickly blended into the crowd on the street, looking like an ordinary civilian in Dongping City.
While walking, he deliberately went to crowded places and went wherever there were people. He had no idea that he was an enemy who sneaked into Dongping City.
Based on his experience, Tang Tianxing found a large-scale restaurant, sat down in the corner of the lobby on the first floor, ordered some food at random, and sat down peacefully.
No matter where you are, restaurants or brothels, these two floors are always the fastest place to get information.
Due to the limitations of Tang Tianxing's congenital condition, it was not very convenient for him to go to places of romance such as brothels and use his own mouth to find out information as he could not speak.
Therefore, he could only choose the restaurant. Sitting silently, he looked like an old monk in meditation, but in fact he listened to the words of all the diners on the upper and lower floors of the restaurant.
However, most of what I heard were trivial things, and few people even mentioned the war that is happening now.
Dongping City really looks like a paradise, and it has reached a state where you can't hear what's going on outside the window.
But...is that really the case?
Tang Tianxing listened for a moment and inadvertently glanced up at the ceiling.
"Hahaha, brother, come on, come on, brother, let me give you another drink!"
"Hey, brother, what's the point of drinking some vegetarian wine here? In my opinion, we might as well go..."
"Ha, brother, don't I know about your little kid's frivolous nature?"
