Chapter 461 The Mysterious Marshal's Conspiracy (Part 2)
When you walk into Longcheng, the cold air is reduced a lot, and it is blocked by the city walls. The temperature inside the city is obviously higher than outside the city.
Everything in the city seemed normal, and it was not as depressed and devastated as the city was destroyed. Although the crowds on the streets were not bustling, no households were closed. In such a cold city in the north, the population was smaller than that in the south.
Huo Yuhao walked forward while observing the surroundings and feeling the changes.
There are simple soul guide positions on the top of Longcheng City, but the number of soul guides is not large, so they are guarding here with some ordinary soldiers.
According to this defensive strength, if the Heavenly Soul Empire can divide its troops to attack, there will be one or two conventional legions that have hope to break through. But now neither the Heavenly Soul Empire nor the Douling Empire can make a move.
Regarding the news here, Shrek Academy was blank, and Huo Yuhao naturally didn't know anything. In a city, nothing is easier to find out than a tavern. Huo Yuhao decided to find a tavern to sit and listen to the current situation in Longcheng. Then make plans.
It is too easy to find a tavern in a cold northern city. Drinking can drive away the cold and warm up the body. It is the common hobby of almost most northerners, and even some female surnames are no exception.
Huo Yuhao quickly found a tavern and walked in. The signboard of the tavern was not too big, but as soon as he walked into the tavern, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a warm atmosphere coming to his face.
The warm heat wave was drunk. As soon as I entered the door, Huo Yuhao felt that he was covered by a heat wave and the chill on his body was washed away.
The area inside the tavern is not large, the temperature inside is much higher than that outside, and some people are even drinking with their arms exposed.
There are four or five tables and one table in the entire tavern. There are twenty or thirty people in men and women. The tavern is full of noise and the atmosphere is very enthusiastic.
Huo Yuhao noticed that there were some women wearing exposed clothes at almost every table and behind the table, but these women were really not young. They looked at least thirty years old. Although their clothes were exposed, they were not very attractive. Their uniform clothes were obviously people from the tavern, and they should be specialized in drinking with guests, but they did not have any closer services. Although the guests were also drinking and teasing with them, they sat far away and did not have any bad behavior. It seems that this should be a custom in the Longcheng Tavern. Women drink with them, just to adjust the atmosphere.
"Hello, guest." A woman with exposed clothes, half a fair-skinned shoulders and chest walked over and greeted Huo Yuhao who had just entered the door. Her voice was filled with a strong northern accent of the Heavenly Soul Empire, with a round voice. But her nasal sound was heavier. Although the yellow long skirt on her body was exposed, it also had the gorgeous style of the Heavenly Soul Empire, but the material was a little worse.
"Hello." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, "Is there still a seat?"
The woman in yellow said, "There is only a seat for the station, is it OK?"
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded.
The woman in yellow took him to sit down in the corner of the platform. Huo Yuhao's clothes were relatively weak. After all, he came directly from Shrek Academy. Naturally, he didn't need to take off any coats. Maybe it was because the drinkers present had already drunk it, and no one noticed this.
"Guest, you are from another place." The woman in yellow brought Huo Yuhao a cup of hot water and then asked.
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes! This Dragon City is so cold!"
The woman in yellow smiled, "That's not the case. Judging from your clothes, you may be a little frozen. Just drink some wine. What are you going to do?"
Huo Yuhao said: "Let's just have some local features."
"Okay, then you wait."
Not long after, a glass of wine with a strong aroma of wine was sent to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao picked up the cup and asked, and suddenly, a strong smell of alcohol came, and it was obvious that it was strong wine.
Smelling the smell of strong wine, he couldn't help but remember that when he participated in the competition in Mingdu, he had to rely on distillation to assist in resolving it. As time went by, Dong'er was no longer by his side, but he came to this northern city.
After taking a sip of the wine, a spicy air with a strong wheat aroma penetrated into my throat and turned into a fire line and flowed into my belly. The feeling was indeed refreshing.
Huo Yuhao did not use his soul power to dissolve the power of the wine. He felt the scorching stimulation, and the complexion on his face could not help but become a little rosy.
Although he is not the kind of handsome man who is particularly eye-catching, he has a bit of extraordinary charm because of his strong mental power. Seeing the change in his skin color after drinking, the woman in yellow obviously had her eyes lit up, "Guest, where are you from?"
Huo Yuhao said: "I came from the south and came here to meet a friend."
The woman in yellow smiled and said, "Then you have to be careful. Now is a war-torn period, so don't touch the place where you are fighting."
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "I heard that Longcheng has already..."
The woman in yellow did not avoid anything, but said according to his words: "Yes, Longcheng has been occupied by the Yueyue Empire. We were all worried at first, but now it seems that the situation is not too bad."
"Oh?" Huo Yuhao looked at her in surprise and said, "How is the situation of the war?"
The woman in yellow said: "We civilians don't know the specific situation, but at least after the Yueyue Empire occupied Longcheng, it did not do anything to us civilians. Instead, it issued a notice of peace, saying that it would not rob, nor would it kill people at will. We should maintain good order and not leave our home easily."
"That's it?" Huo Yuhao was a little surprised. The fact that the Yuyue Empire was able to do nothing was indeed to make the suffering brought by the war come to ordinary people. If so, it would be a blessing in disguise.
The woman in yellow said, "Yes! They have occupied Longcheng for more than ten days, but they have left some troops to maintain order, and then merchants began to pour in. The army entered the city for only two days and then withdrew from the city. When you came, you should have seen that our Longcheng was not destroyed. I just heard that several soul master sects in the city were forced to leave Longcheng temporarily by the army of the Yueyue Empire, but I don't know where they went."
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and fell into thinking. Since Xu Tianran initially launched this war and imprisoned the elites from all over the country who participated in the Soul Fighting Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy in the Continental Empire, he felt that once this war occurred, it would be a disaster for the creatures.
Moreover, the Yuyue Empire also had the participation of the Holy Spirit Cult. In this case, they could not violate the common people? This was indeed something that Huo Yuhao could not have imagined.
Before Huo Yuhao could ask anything, the woman in yellow picked up a glass of ale from the back of the stage and took a sip, saying, "Those merchants are really strange. After entering our Longcheng, they did not sell goods, but instead gave them. I heard that they sent a lot of strange goods to the nobles in the city, which are said to be related to soul guides. Their country occupied our place, but wanted to give us things. I really don't understand what this is."
Don’t say she didn’t understand, Huo Yuhao was also confused after hearing this. Why did this happen? What exactly was the Yueyue Empire going to do?
I drank a glass of wine in the tavern and found that all I heard was this. No useful thing appeared in the conversations of other drinkers.
Huo Yuhao asked the location of the Longcheng City Lord's Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, and then left the pub after drinking the glass of strong wine.
At this time, it was already dark outside, the crowds on the streets decreased significantly, and the temperature dropped a lot.
In order not to make himself too eye-catching, Huo Yuhao took out a coat from his storage soul guide and put it on his body, and walked slowly on the street.
He originally planned to find a place to live, and after Nan Qiuqiu woke up, he would go to Dilongmen. But now he has some new ideas.
He was very curious about the intention of the Yueyue Empire not only did not rob and rob the Dragon City after invading Longcheng, but also let the accompanying merchants deliver things in the city.
Go to the city lord's mansion to see where there are at least the person in charge of the Yueyue Empire who stayed here, and maybe they can hear some news.
Thinking of this, taking advantage of the night, Huo Yuhao turned into a dim street, and under the influence of the simulated soul skill, he quietly merged into the darkness and disappeared.
Like most cities, the City Lord's Mansion in Longcheng is located in the center of the city. The City Lord's Mansion looks very large and can be seen from a distance.
At the gate of the city lord's mansion, two soldiers stood straight, wearing thick cold-resistant clothes. Huo Yuhao rose up and quietly entered the city lord's mansion, like a fallen leaf, not alarming anyone.
The city lord's mansion seemed very quiet, and it took a long time to see a team of patrol soldiers passing by. Huo Yuhao quietly sneaked inward, followed the lights, and soon found the core building of the city lord's mansion.
He flew up and flew towards a room on the second floor with lights. At the same time, his mental power was fully developed, covering the entire city lord's mansion. He didn't believe that there would be a spiritual soul detection guide here.
Soon, he had already figured out the situation in the City Lord's Mansion. There were about 150 soldiers stationed in the City Lord's Mansion, including twenty soul tutors. All of them were weak, around the second and third rings. In the room at the core of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a powerful man of the Sixth Ring Soul Emperor level. As for whether he was a soul tutor, he could only be clear after contacting him directly.
