Chapter 378 Why fight against the false emperor
The general took Zuo Chen and Ziyi into the city.
The scene in front of me was completely different from that outside the desert. The bustling street market was like a beating heart, with countless shops lined on both sides, and the sounds of carrying hawkers and sellers came and went, making it very lively.
There is a dazzling array of spices, fresh fruits, and unique accessories. From cheap to luxurious, everything the people in the city need can be found here.
The general put the ghost mask back on, and the people around him seemed to ignore her subconsciously.
She is surrounded by some concealment techniques, which are the same as Zuo Chen's. Although it is not effective, it is still not a big problem to hide her figure in front of ordinary people.
While walking on the street, Zuo Chen suddenly heard bursts of noise coming from the distance, mixed with sharp and vague shouts, accompanied by a unique pepper scent that became stronger:
"My dear, my dear, I'm so tired, why don't you buy a cake? It's such a hard work!"
A vendor avoided the crowd and walked down the street pushing a cart with old oil stains and solidification flowing along the side ditch. There was an old, trumpet-like object placed on top of the cart's platform, and the sound came from there. of.
Zuo Chen came closer out of curiosity and saw a large stove in the middle of the cart. Golden cakes were stuck in the stove, and the surrounding area was filled with the alluring aroma of meat.
"Brother, would you like one?"
"Do you accept gold and silver?"
"Hey, are you trying to find gold? The gold and silver are too big for us to find."
"No need to look for it, I'm happy today."
Zuo Chenjiu took out two pieces of silver from his arms and put them in the hands of the merchant.
A smile suddenly appeared on the vendor's face. After weighing the silver coins easily, he happily scraped off the remaining cakes one by one, put them in the basket and handed them to Zuo Chen. He then turned off the speaker, pushed the cart and left with a smile. .
The crust was golden and crispy, with white sesame seeds sprinkled on top. It had a pleasant burnt aroma, and Zuo Chen took a bite.
The meat is plump, with a lot of pepper. I used my spiritual energy to taste it carefully. It seemed to be a mixture of rabbit, wolf and some plant roots.
Cattle and sheep are precious commodities in the current wilderness city. I don't think that such common predators and prey in the wilderness are much cheaper.
But after taking this bite, Zuo Chen could tell that the spices in this wilderness could already be grown on a large scale, otherwise there wouldn't be so much in this civilian snack.
He came back to Zi Yi and the general and took out two pieces of cake, one for Zi Yi and one for the general.
Ziyi took it naturally, held it in both hands and started eating, while the general stared at the cake for a long time.
Her memory began to drift back a long time ago, far away, to that not-so-bright afternoon.
The Taoist slapped the female ghost to pieces and laughed loudly at her:
"Daughter, you are so handsome that I like it. Are you interested in following Pindao? I guarantee you a comfortable life!"
"Don't you want to eat?"
Zuo Chen's voice brought her back to reality, and the outline of the warning in front of her seemed to overlap with that person.
"How can it be so gentle..."
The general's mask trembled slightly. She took a small bite and her throat suddenly tightened. The rich spices on it made her choke.
"Damn, so much spice."
She choked.
……
Several people finally walked to the memorial tower in the city. Soldiers were waiting under the half-toppled tower. The shadows of soldiers training could still be seen in the courtyard.
After arriving at the door, the general slowly took off his mask, and the guard standing guard immediately straightened his body:
"General!"
The general nodded and led Zuo Chen and Zi Yi directly into the courtyard.
The soldiers in the rear did not see the two men following the general at all, and still took their responsibilities seriously.
In fact, the general did not think that the guard force here could stop an expert of Zuo Chen's level.
These guards are to prevent some ordinary people from entering by mistake, not to resist the powerful false emperor.
After entering the compound, General Caiyi took a civilian girl beside him and asked her to vacate an unoccupied conference room. When the girl saw this, she immediately went to recruit people. It didn't take long for the three of them to sit down in the conference room.
General Caiyi also said hello and called several of his advisers.
Zuo Chen didn't know any of these people, and they didn't seem to be natives of Daliang.
After these counselors sat in their seats with puzzled faces, the general looked in the direction of Zuo Chen and Zi Yi.
"Stop hiding here. These people under me have been professionally trained and won't be afraid."
When Zuo Chen heard this, he simply canceled the hidden house technique on himself.
As soon as the magic door was gone, the counselors under the general also saw Zuo Chen directly.
The confusion that still existed on his face immediately turned into panic after seeing Zuo Chen's face. A small number of the counselors were so frightened that they jumped up from their chairs and rolled around the entire room.
Some of them simply hid under the table, as if this way they could avoid being attacked by the "false emperor" in front of them. General Caiyi's originally relatively normal face became darker and darker at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it finally became like coal.
I had just finished my sworn promise, but it turned out that this group of counselors really didn't give me any face.
Could you guys at least calm down a little bit?
There was no other way, the general could only slam the table angrily:
"Shut the hell down! This is not a fake emperor! This person just looks like the fake emperor! Please cheer up me! Look how scared you are, you are embarrassing the Wilderness City!"
The crisp sound reverberated throughout the room, and the table in front of him broke apart, opening a gap.
A counselor exclaimed in a low voice:
"It's a precious table found in the wilderness!"
The general almost spit out a mouthful of old blood:
Is this what you should be concerned about?
The entire conference room was in chaos for a long time before finally settling down.
The general looked at his subordinates with a haggard look.
Normally, this group of people is fairly reliable, and can help them make a lot of suggestions. They are the backbone of the entire Wilderness City.
But the only problem is that after fighting with that monster-like pseudo-emperor for such a long time, the men of letters have long been frightened to death by the other party's unfathomable Taoism.
The appearance of such a Taoist priest who looked exactly like the false emperor appeared in front of them. For them, the excitement was no less exciting than that of a person without Taoism hiding in bed in the middle of the night watching an evil cultivator's plasma tablets, and suddenly found an evil cultivator crawling out of the message sachet. It's not much different when it comes out.
The counselors who finally calmed down found their seats and sat down, still looking at Zuo Chen nervously.
And finally found the girl next to Zuo Chen who looked exactly like the general, and was a little confused for a moment.
Who is this girl? What's the relationship with the general?
Ziyi was looking at the scene in front of him, covering his mouth and laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" The general glared at Ziyi.
"It's nothing, I just thought of my courtiers. It's a pity that I never saw them running around on the ground. It's a pity."
Ziyi said.
The general's blood pressure began to rise.
She didn't know why, but when she looked at this woman who looked like herself, she felt very unhappy.
I really want to rush up and tear this woman's hair off.
However, because this behavior was too vulgar and rude, the general finally suppressed the anger in his heart and kicked a young girl on the bench.
The girl who was kicked twice and shook her face immediately showed bitterness from the bottom of her heart. She stood up stiffly and stammered a few words from her mouth:
"Um...I don't know...Do you have anything to ask us?"
Zuo Chen smiled and said:
"Don't panic, everyone. I'm here to help your general to deal with the false emperor. Now I want to hear what you know about the false emperor. What kind of magic does your cultivation have in your hands? Who is under your command? Only when you know yourself and your enemy You will win every battle, and the information you collect will be of great use.”
Seeing that Zuo Chen's attitude was gentle and not as crazy as the false emperor, the counselors whispered a few words in low voices.
Finally, it was the same girl just now. She took out a thick paper manuscript and pushed it in front of Zuo Chen.
Zuo Chen took the information wrapped in a blue hard case from the table, opened it, and read down page by page.
The false emperor uses a sword, with the immortal energy flowing freely above it, which can cut mountains and rubble, cut seas and rivers. It was a two-handed sword that the false emperor found in the sea of suffering after killing the old monk.
The false emperor knows wonderful skills, can move thousands of miles in an instant, can use soft flowers to prevent injuries from magic, cannot be hurt by swords, guns and sticks, and can't get in by all kinds of magic.
There is also a group of nobles under the false emperor, most of whom have been gifted by the false emperor and are his beloved relatives in the harem.
At present, he has admitted a total of four beauties into his harem. Zuo Chen took a frightened look and found that there were no acquaintances inside, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Zuo Chen also discovered that the false emperor had not left the top of Wangwu Mountain for a long time. It was difficult to find out exactly what happened by relying on the wilderness city's reconnaissance posts alone. I'm afraid it would have to rely on Zuo Chen and the others to find the path. .
The contents of this information cannot be considered useless to Zuo Chen, but after all, the upper limit of the pseudo-emperor's strength has not been fully figured out, so its usefulness is limited.
If you really have a head-on confrontation with the other party...
But it's a tough battle.
Thinking of this, Zuo Chen couldn't help but cast his eyes on the two Caiyi again.
A somewhat daring plan emerged from his mind.
Based on the opponent's strength, he would definitely have to go head-to-head with the pseudo-emperor.
Those who can be used as surprise soldiers,
Instead, it was these two Caiyi who were born exactly the same.
