Chapter 146 Anyway, I’m just a sword
“After the Frost Tribulation, I have never seen such a peaceful and harmonious city again.”
As the crowd walked away, Anjing looked around the street with emotion.
In the northwest region, Kanming City is a large city with a fairly developed economy. The walls of the side rooms on the streets are covered with decals and ink paintings, and there are also constant shadow plays in the small courtyards.
What's even more amazing is that in the distance, near the Wengtang and the Brothel House near the center of the city, there are people who have just gotten out of the bath and are full of heat. Regardless of the howling cold wind, they head towards the courtyard next door, singing a charming ditty in the wind. sway.
In the teahouse, the men in green shirts read and sip tea, leaning on the railing to watch the snow; in the restaurant, the warriors carrying swords laughed and made noise, drank wine and ate meat.
An Jing can see all this clearly.
A large river runs through the city, and tall mills and waterwheels rotate slowly. The Xuanwu flags on both sides are the symbol of Dachen.
An Jing saw with his own eyes that the disciples of the martial arts academy in the city pushed away all the snow on a street with a cart by one person and piled it into a small mountain. They then carried the small snow mountain out of the city and piled it outside the city.
There were also shuttles flying through the sky, penetrating the sky, and landing at the City Lord's Mansion.
An Jing walked calmly on the edge of the street. Some passers-by did notice that this young man in a Chenli-style robe was dressed strangely, but they did not pay too much attention to him.
Northwest Survey, the place where Dachen and Chenli tribes trade, a young man in strange clothes is nothing to pay attention to.
The only attractive thing is that this young man has a straight eyebrow, a handsome face, hair like black feathers, and fair and tender skin. I don’t know who the young man is, but he is actually let out to wander outside, and he is not afraid of being kidnapped and sold. Lose.
To be honest, this appearance is actually slightly modified based on the appearance that 'An Jing has never practiced martial arts' may naturally look like.
After all, An Jing's Hou Tufa is only a little successful. He cannot change the appearance at will and can only modify the original skeleton.
But An Jing has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has a destiny, and his temperament is too sharp and fierce. Compared with his real appearance and the disguised appearance, even if his eyebrows are somewhat similar, no one will think that these two faces are the same. Same person.
On this day, Anjing did nothing special. He just walked around Kanming City like a real Chenli man, listening to rumors in the streets, jokes in restaurants, trivial matters in teahouses, and communicating with people. , walking around the city to test your leg strength...
Finally, when the sun tilted, he returned to the area around the commercial area outside Kanming City.
"The world of Huaixu has declined a lot compared to the past... It can even be said that it has become a mess."
Sword Spirit commented: "Although the people here seem to live and work in peace and contentment, and are stable and peaceful, everything is based on an excellent geographical location - if it were back then, Kanming City would definitely become a huge border trade city, not what it is now. Such a trade port that is both up and down.”
"Moreover, as the impact of the Frost Tribulation continues to spread, the livelihood of Chenli people will definitely be affected. The peace maintained between Baihuang tribes and Dachen may be broken... Although Kanming City seems to be prosperous now , but in fact, a large number of Chenli people who could not find a living in the north came to Dachen to work, and they were sucked by Kanming City.
"To be honest." And An Jing complained: "Ordinary fairy swords don't understand these, right? You are too professional."
"Of course." Fu Xie said seriously: "The sword is the king's weapon, a weapon of immortality. Conquest is only a necessary violent method. The sword holder should know everything in the world... Although I can't think of any solution, but It’s not difficult to find a thorn in the problem.”
"This is the same as the principle of swordsmanship: I can see the flaws in the enemy's swordsmanship, but I may not be able to make up for them."
"I'm just a sword anyway."
——It turned out to be a strip that only made arguments but could not solve the problem... Well, indeed, the sword does not need to solve the problem, it only needs to solve the person who caused the problem. An Jing complained in his heart and shook his head slightly: "In this way, the problems in Kanming City are not small. There are many hidden bombs."
He actually saw the instability hidden behind this prosperous city, but he was not as sharp as Sword Spirit.
In addition, An Jing also learned about some recent news in Kanming City while chatting on the streets.
Putting aside future crises, even now, Kanming City is still quite unstable.
First of all, the guardian grandmaster of Kanming City, ‘Weiyang Quan Shuzheng’, has not appeared for a long time.
It is said that every autumn and winter, he routinely goes to the mountains to hunt alone, but this is the first time he has not shown up for more than a month without being summoned.
No one is in charge, the top management of Kanming City is disorganized, the guards in the city are slack, and even the recent invasion of monsters is considered to be the fault of the immediate superior Shenyin.
An Jing suspected that if Master Shu didn't return to the city, the officials in Kanming City would use his absence as an excuse to burn the warehouse with fire dragons to settle the accounts.
Secondly, according to what An Jing just heard from the conversation between women on the street, homeless people have disappeared from time to time in Kanming City, and people living alone have disappeared from time to time during this period.
There are even cases where children who ran away to play alone disappeared, causing consternation and indignation among many people.
The women were still chatting with lingering fears, and the tone of their voices that they were deeply afraid that their children might also be abducted and trafficked definitely didn't sound like they were acting.
"Demon Cult?"
Hearing this, An Jing couldn't help but frown: "Again?"
Although he finally got rid of the tracking of Tianyi Demon Sect and didn't want to get stuck again...but if this kind of thing really happened, how could he not take action!
If it doesn’t work, he will report it to the official!
However, An Jing was also a little confused about this.
According to his own personal experience, even if the demon sect is cannibalistic, its requirements are very high.
To put it simply, people who have no destiny and children who have not received special training do not bother to eat it.
Most of those riders and servants are children who are worthless if eaten, that is, people who don't even have a life.
People like Li Jiaoxi who fail to awaken their destiny are considered rare, so he is the leading captain and instructor - as he rises in rank step by step, he is more likely to awaken his destiny than others. Want something big.
Unless there is a special situation and a batch of consumables are urgently needed in a short period of time, otherwise, the Demon Sect itself has cities, villages and gathering places in Xishan. Why would it come to Dachen to plunder people like this?
An Jing did not doubt the morality of the Tianyi Demon Sect, because the Demon Sect did not have that kind of thing. What he doubted was that the taste of the Demon Sect was not so bad.
But even if it is not the Tianyi Demon Cult, it is most likely some other small demon sect. In short, if they can kidnap and rob people in Kanming City, the water behind them must be deep.
