Chihong Mountain is a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are many villages within the mountain. Chikang City is right next to Chihong Mountain, and it is the only big city within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Huang Yuchen and others quickly left the Chihong Mountain range, passed through the towering jungle and knee-length snow, and finally saw the official road;

Forty living creatures and giants were arranged by Huang Yuchen to move forward along the jungle beside the official road, and try not to meet anyone as much as possible.

If others see the special outfit of the living and the tall body of the giant, it will inevitably cause a lot of storm, which is somewhat unfavorable for Huang Yuchen to enter the city in a low-key manner.

In addition to the many villages in Chihong Mountain, there are many towns, and the small towns at the foot of Chihong Mountain are one of them. However, if you continue like this, you don’t know how much time it will take.

After directly coming to Chikang City, the problem here will be solved, and all the following problems will be solved.

There was nothing to say along the way, and one day later, early in the morning, everyone came to Chikang City.

This city does not look big, but compared with the big city in Qitian, the city wall facing us is four or five meters high, which is enough to resist the invading enemy.

In the cold winter, outside the open city, two heavy soldiers stood in front of the city, standing with spears, looking shaky.

Behind them was a wooden cottage that looked very simple.

There were not many people entering and leaving the city. Huang Yuchen stood in the distance and observed for a long time before he saw three or two pedestrians. However, it seemed that he had not been investigated when entering and leaving the city.

"We will enter the city in batches." Huang Yuchen turned his head, looked at Zhuang Lexian, and said, "You take Yin Caixian in, find a larger wine shop, and wait for me in it."

Zhuang Lexian nodded and took Yin Cai straight to meet him. As expected, the soldiers guarding the city had no intention of blocking the investigation. Zhuang Lexian and Yin Cai went straight into the city.

"Senior, I'm sorry to wear a veil." Huang Yuchen said to Su Rong behind him: "Senior's face will definitely attract attention."

Su Rong didn't say anything, but just took out a white silk yarn belt from her arms and covered most of her face.

Huang Yuchen looked down at his and Su Rongjiying's outfits, dressed appropriately. Although he didn't want the nearby farmers, he was also relatively simple.

After confirming, Huang Yuchen calmed down and took Su Rong and Ji Ying to enter the city directly; as expected, he did not suffer any obstacles or investigations, and the two soldiers guarding the city seemed to have not seen them at all, and dozed off with spears.

The reason why Huang Yuchen was cautious was that in Chihong Sect, he saw his second brother Huang Yongning.

He naturally believed that if Huang Yongning was sober, he would definitely not harm him, but he told himself not to let himself go to the imperial capital. In order to prevent himself from not listening to him, he would likely encounter Huang Yongning's trip in advance along the way.

Even Huang Yuchen thought that what happened nearby might be a trip to him by his second brother.

Huang Yongning knew Huang Yuchen so well, and his style and ideas almost couldn't escape Huang Yongning's plot.

Just as Huang Yuchen said himself, if Huang Yongning wanted to plot against him, he would really have no way to do anything.

The streets of Chikang City are deserted and deserted. On both sides of the straight street, almost all the shops are closed, and there are no pedestrians on the street, and they are covered with silver.

Huang Yuchen frowned slightly. If it was confirmed by the village chief I saw before and the soldiers I met in the town later, Fan Liao, the guardian of Chikang City, should be the largest warlord nearby, and the villagers who were forced to recruit nearby should be concentrated here.

But the city is so deserted that there are not even people on the street, but I don’t know what’s going on.

Fortunately, not far ahead along the main street, Huang Yuchen saw a wine shop that opened. Without hesitation, he walked straight in.

The winery is not big, but it is also on the upper and lower floors. In the hall on the first floor, Huang Yuchen saw Zhuang Lexian and Yin Cai who were drinking at first sight. There was a stranger sitting next to them. He was wearing a lot of cold clothes and chatting and laughing with Zhuang Lexian.

Seeing this, Huang Yuchen raised his mouth slightly and chose another table to sit down.

"Keep, what do you want to order?" As soon as Huang Yuchen sat down, the waiter came up to ask.

There were more than a dozen tables in the hall, but now there were not many people drinking and eating, only three or four tables. Huang Yuchen looked at the waiter and said, "I have to work hard all the way, serve some good wine and good dishes."

"Okay." The waiter responded immediately, turned around and left, and did not forget to look at Su Rong more when he left.

Su Rong's cold feeling that keeps people from thousands of miles away is very eye-catching, even if it covers her face.

In addition, Huang Yuchen and the other three were dressed properly, and they were obviously not from nearby people. The waiter went back to whisper a few words to the shopkeeper and quickly went to the kitchen.

After a while, the shopkeeper walked up with a teapot and a tea cup, put the tea cup on the table, and while pouring tea for the three of them, he said with a smile: "Where do you three come from?"

"West." Huang Yuchen replied lightly. Before he could figure out the situation, he would be wary of those who came to talk.

"West?" The shopkeeper smiled constantly. After pouring tea for the three of them, he put the teapot on the table and said, "The journey is far enough. Look at your dusty look, you have suffered a lot."

"It's like this when we travel in the cold winter." Huang Yuchen picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was bitter, but it could still be swallowed.

"Where are you going?" The shopkeeper stood beside Huang Yuchen and asked again: "Do you want to stay in a hotel?"

"How many days to stay, do you have a guest room here?" Huang Yuchen raised his eyes and glanced at the middle-aged shopkeeper. His figure was a little fat and his smile looked like a person who had been doing business all year round.

"We are a restaurant and there are no guest rooms, but if the customer needs it, I can find it on your behalf to ensure you are satisfied." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Eat first, let's talk about it." Huang Yuchen took another sip of tea, and then asked the boss: "I heard that Chikang City is the largest city around, so why are there no pedestrians?"

"Hi, I'm going to hide it from you." The shopkeeper replied: "Just a few days ago, our Chikang City was still very lively. In order to quell the surrounding rebellion, the city lord Fan recruited many soldiers from below. At that time, the city was almost full."

"Just two days ago, Lord Fan personally led the team out of the city. I don't know where he went. You said that the troops are in chaos now, so you may not be able to come back from these people." The shopkeeper said, sighing.

"What's the person who is the city lord, Lord Fan?" Huang Yuchen remained silent, but began to secretly think about it in his heart.

"Mr. Fan, okay!" When talking about Fan Liao, the shopkeeper immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "This is a rare city lord. I really don't say anything to our people. He closed the mountains with heavy snow, opened the warehouse and released grain, and helped the poor. In such bad weather, there was no one in Chikang City who died of starvation."

"So, Lord Fan Liao is still a good official who loves the people as much as his son." Huang Yuchen smiled and drank the tea in the cup.

"That's natural." The shopkeeper laughed.

At this moment, the waiter came over with a big tray. Seeing this, the shopkeeper helped the waiter put all the dishes on the table and said to Huang Yuchen: "You can use it slowly. If you have the need to stay in a hotel, just tell me about it at any time."

After saying that, the shopkeeper went back to the counter with a smile. Huang Yuchen looked at the dishes on the table. They were not rich, and most of them were meat, but the amount was enough.

"It seems that there is so much food and clothing here." Huang Yuchen picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dish and put it in his mouth. It tasted pretty good.

Jiying and Su Rong both looked at the food on the table indifferently. The things here were obviously not as rich as the wine shop in the small town at the foot of Chihong Mountain, but for some reason.

"It seems that Fan Liao is not a simple person." Huang Yuchen said to Jiying and Su Rong while eating: "All what he did was to win people's hearts, and after pacifying all the surrounding villages and towns, he accumulated strength to go on the battle."

"Before going to war, I didn't forget to comfort the rear. Seeing the boss' love for him, if the foreign enemy invades, he may not be able to occupy the city at all, and instead will be trapped here."

"Your thinking is very quick about these." Jiying looked at Huang Yuchen and whispered: "I can't see so many details. You just need to say, what are we going to do next?"

"Eat first." Huang Yuchen smiled slightly, stopped caring about the two of them, and picked up the bowl and ate a big meal.

Zhuang Lexian and the stranger were having fun chatting with each other and drank a lot of wine. After a while, Huang Yuchen had enough wine and had a good meal. He got up and went to the counter and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I want to find a small courtyard."

"Oh? Do you want to live forever?" The shopkeeper looked up and looked at Huang Yuchen with a suspicion.

"The mountains are closed with heavy snow, and it is not peaceful in front of you. Stay for a short time. It will be peaceful in the spring of the next year. Let's go forward." Huang Yuchen smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid there will be dangers when I force my way."

The shopkeeper looked at Huang Yuchen, then at Jiying and Su Rong behind him, smiled and said, "There are hollow yard roads in the city, but most of them are not occupied for many years. If the guest officials need it, they can take you to see it."

"Of course it's good. Just have a place to settle down." Huang Yuchen smiled slightly, took out a general silver note for praying for the sky from his arms and placed it on the counter, ten taels.

"The guest official is here to make arrangements for you." The shopkeeper smiled happily when he saw the silver notes and immediately went down to call someone.

Huang Yuchen looked back at Zhuang Lexian. He was still chatting with the stranger, and he was chatting enthusiastically, as if he was a person from Chikang City. He met an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time in the tavern.

Huang Yuchen made a gesture at Zhuang Lexian. Zhuang Lexian nodded slightly and knew what Huang Yuchen meant.
