Although Huang Yuchen was shocked, his face was completely silent. He glanced at Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an, who were also surprised, and winked at the two of them, signaling them to go in and talk.

When Liu Xingan saw Huang Yuchen's eyes, he nodded slightly and pushed Qi Zhengye in front of him. Qi Zhengye was slightly stunned, then followed the waiter and walked towards the back hall.

The wine shop in this small town is extremely spacious behind. In addition to the front hall, there are more than a dozen tables in the back hall, and they are also full of seats at this moment. I really don’t know where so many people come from such a remote town.

Following the waiter, the three of them went up the stairs and were led by the waiter to a house. The waiter pushed open the door and led the three of them in. Then he stood at the door and asked, "Three guests, there are only one room left in the shop, but fortunately there are three beds in the room, which is enough for the three guests to rest. What instructions do you have? I will also say to the guests."

"Give us some food and make more." Qi Zhengye gave the waiter instructions. The waiter nodded slightly, but just as he was about to turn around and go out, Huang Yuchen stood at the door first. He looked at the waiter with a smile and said softly: "Brother, we don't understand some things very well. Can you ask you?"

The waiter was obviously stunned, but a smile immediately appeared on his face and said, "Callant, please ask."

"This city is so small, why are there so many people coming to the restaurant to drink? Also, this town has no marked on any map, how did it come out?" Huang Yuchen kept smiling, but his eyes were staring at the waiter, and he had no intention of getting out of the way.

From the beginning of entering this town, he felt something was wrong. Although the buildings in the town seemed to be a little old, as a royal family of the Qitian Empire, he knew very well about Qitian's history. When Qitian expanded, he marked the map very strictly. Almost all Qitian's territory was covered by the cavalry of the Qitian Empire. The imperial map he looked at was marked with all the sizes, so it was absolutely impossible that a city would not be marked.

Moreover, this city is located at the junction of Siteng Sand, Qitian hinterland and the vast jungle mountains. Its location is relatively special, so it is even more impossible to have unmarked situations.

There is only one possibility for such a situation. This city was established after the Qitian Empire guided it here. Moreover, the establishment of the city did not inform Qitian of the provincial official residence set up here, so there is no mark on the map.

Moreover, the town is crowded with people, and although it does not occupy a large area, it is obvious that people live here for a long time and the people I see in the restaurant are not good at first sight, so I can do it without asking clearly.

When the waiter heard Huang Yuchen's question, he also saw his condition, but he was not panicked at all. He smiled and said, "The guest officer saw that he had just arrived here. You don't know that this is a sand city, which is considered a place beyond the law."

"What kind of lawless place? Explain it clearly." Huang Yuchen frowned and continued to ask.

"The territory nearby was probably included in Qitian a hundred decades ago, and the Sand City was only a few decades old. This place does not belong to any province of Qitian. It is located at the intersection of the three realms. All those who have committed crimes in the empire must first pass through the Sand City if they want to enter the woodland or go to the Western Regions. Although our city is small, its popularity is not low." Obviously, this waiter has not been the first time to answer this question, and Huang Yuchen is definitely not the first to ask him this question, so he answered it smoothly.

"You said that this sand city has been established for decades, why didn't the nearby provincial residences send soldiers to garrison? What do you mean by saying that this place is not under the jurisdiction of any official residence?" Before Huang Yuchen could ask, Liu Xingan, who was beside him, asked first.

"If you go back, our Shacheng is hundreds of miles away from the nearest imperial residence. It is rarely visited by people. The cost of the official residence is too high, so there is no official residence willing to send people. Moreover, there are very few people living in our Shacheng, and most of the people from outside have cases. They are all vicious people. Perhaps the government is not willing to spend so much effort to manage it. A few steps forward, you can enter the dense forest. After entering the dense forest, you can wander around the world. Let you say, even though you know that all the people here are prisoners, will you not arrest them? If you arrest them, there will inevitably be resistance, and there will inevitably be casualties. Catching one is to catch them, and arresting multiple is also to catch them. If these people escape into the dense forest or enter the hinterland of the sand, will you not chase them?" The little guy didn't mean to be afraid of the three of them. His face was always smiling and his tone was very calm. Obviously, it was not the first time someone asked this.

After hearing the waiter's answer, Liu Xing'an also frowned. The waiter's answer was just like that Shacheng is a nest of thieves and is too far from the hinterland. If you want to survive here, it will take a lot of money to do it. Moreover, none of these prisoners can reach here through a hundred miles of no one of them is mediocre. Since they have left Qitian's hinterland, why bother to chase after it? Shacheng is like a waste of money to the official residence of the province near Qitian, which can also explain why there are no officers and soldiers here.

"Go and bring the food we want soon." Huang Yuchen nodded slightly when he heard this, and made way. Xiaoer bowed and bowed, turned around and went out.

Huang Yuchen closed the door, entered the room and sat at the wooden table in the middle, frowned slightly. Suddenly, he came to such a place beyond the law. As a child of the Qitian royal family, he felt that he needed to do something.

"I don't want this city to have so many twists and turns." Seeing that the waiter had already left, Qi Zhengye sat opposite Huang Yuchen, lying on the table, glanced at Huang Yuchen lazily, and said, "What do you want?"

Huang Yuchen looked at Qi Zhengye and said nothing. Liu Xingan, who was beside him, walked over, sat next to Qi Zhengye, looked at Huang Yuchen, and smiled and said, "Yuchen, you shouldn't want to bring the illegal people in this city to justice."

Huang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I am not that overestimated my ability. Just now, the waiter said it clearly that this has existed for decades. On the surface, it seems that this is a small city, but such a city can operate for decades. Besides, the people who come here are all illegal people. Doesn't anyone want to take the city for themselves at this stage? Considering the normal development direction, this city seems to be uncontrollable, but I'm afraid that a unique underground order has been formed, and it is not something I can destroy."

After Huang Yuchen said that, it was Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an's turn to be stunned. If this were before, Huang Yuchen would have said something righteous. In the eyes of Huang Yuchen before, seeking blessings for the people of the world was something he was extremely eager to do. Liu Xing'an originally planned to persuade Huang Yuchen with these words, but he didn't expect that he would say it himself.

Liu Xingan glanced at Qi Zhengye. It was as Qi Zhengye said. After coming out of Chihong Sect, Huang Yuchen had a drastic change. He was not like a young man who was just seventeen years old. He was much more mature and steady than before.

"It's best if you think so. Our purpose is to repair it here and then enter the dense forest to explore the cave. The matter of this city has nothing to do with us. No matter how long it has existed, whether he provides shelter to illegal people or not, it has nothing to do with us." Liu Xing'an nodded at Huang Yuchen. He had not fully adapted to Huang Yuchen's sudden changes.

"Compared to this, I'm more worried about what I heard outside just now." As he spoke, Huang Yuchen couldn't help but frown and said, "It seems that there has been a huge change in the imperial capital. Judging from the meaning of those people, it seems that my elder brother has ascended the throne."

"If the rumors are true, it will be a huge change." Liu Xing'an said: "Although I have entered the palace for a short time, I still have some understanding of the little prince. According to my estimate, the little prince Yuanwu will definitely not take the new emperor and replace him, let alone take the initiative to ascend the throne. This is contrary to the existence concept of the entire Eastern Palace, and it is completely inconsistent with the character of the little prince Yuanwu."

"How can you be absolutely sure?" Qi Zhengye glanced at Liu Xing'an, his head resting on his arm, and said, "If this rumor is true, think about it, it is that the battle of the Eastern Palace before the imperial capital was finally won. The little prince of Yuanwu led his army into the imperial capital, and everyone else entered the imperial capital. If he ascended the throne, is there any difference? And if you think about it, if he did not enter the imperial capital, the imperial capital would always be in Yang Qin's hands, and the rebellion of the Three Kings would not be considered quelled. If he entered the imperial capital, in the eyes of outsiders, the little prince would have the ambition of a king. If I were to say, anyway, everyone in the world thought so, then let it go. The new emperor was also pushed by Yang Qin, and it was not orthodox at all."

"What you said is not without reason." Huang Yuchen frowned and said, "Indeed, if I follow my elder brother to fight, facing such a choice, I would recommend that my elder brother enter the imperial capital. In any case, the imperial capital must not be in the hands of the dog thief Yang Qin. But this news is too weird. According to normal time, it has been less than a month since I left the royal palace. How could the battle before the imperial capital be fought so quickly? Could it be that the Northern Prince's Mansion is so vulnerable?"

"That should not be possible." Liu Xing'an continued: "The Northern Palace defeated the coalition forces of the Western Palace and the Southern Palace. It is dominant in the imperial capital. It is absolutely impossible to be vulnerable. Although the soldiers of the Eastern Palace have experienced many battles and are each elite, it is impossible to defeat the Northern Palace in such a short time. Some other changes must have occurred in this, some changes that we do not know about."

Huang Yuchen looked up and was about to say something else when a few slight sounds came from the door behind him. Huang Yuchen immediately shut up and Qi Zhengye, who was beside him, asked, "What's the matter?"

"If you come back, the food you prepared for you is ready." The waiter's voice came outside the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and several servants followed the waiter in one after another, and placed pots and bowls of various sizes on the table in front of the few, including wine and meat, which was very rich.

"This is the specialty of the shop. Please ask a few customers to use it slowly." The waiter smiled slightly at the people and was about to turn his head out.

"Wait a minute." Huang Yuchen glanced at Xiaoer, frowned, and said, "We don't want so much. How much money do we need for this table?"

"Just just now, this guest official ordered to add more wine and meat, so I prepared this table. Guest official rested, but there is no shortage of wine and meat. This table of banquets is only one or five cents of silver." Xiaoer bowed and stood aside, with a smile on his face, and his tone was calm and firm.

Huang Yuchen looked at the food in front of him and looked at the waiter again. He didn't think there was anything wrong and asked casually: "Why don't you charge money?"

"When several guests leave, they will collect them together. The guests are slow to use, and the younger one will retreat first." As he said that, the waiter bowed and slowly retreated.

Huang Yuchen felt something was wrong, but Qi Zhengye had long been unable to stand it. He picked up the roast chicken on the table and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Huang Yuchen and Liu Xing'an also picked up the dishes and chopsticks. For several days, they had never seen decent food, and they didn't realize it was there, so they picked it up and ate it.

"No..." Huang Yuchen immediately felt something was wrong when he got into the meal.
