Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 2889: Quiet Contact
Acropolis, the outer city area, is a special area that has long been known in the Yelin Empire for its chaotic order. Apart from the deliberate actions of the rulers, such a chaotic environment was also greatly facilitated by the environment where the Acropolis was located and the special trading method of goods.
In the entire Xingou County, the city closest to the Tianping Mountains is the Acropolis, and for the plunder of various resources within the Tianping Mountains, the Acropolis has naturally become the best starting and gathering place.
Naturally, the Acropolis is also the best place to collect and distribute all the plundered materials. Only here did the Yelin Empire loosen its management a little and turn a blind eye to private hunting of monsters and digging for medicinal materials. One eye, and allows private transactions and purchases.
As a super empire in the northwestern part of the continent, the Yelin Empire would certainly not release such a huge benefit from the Tianping Mountains to ordinary warriors or some small forces to carve up.
The forces that are really profiting from the outer city of the Acropolis, and the real controllers behind them, are the top officials of the empire, that is, the super families and super forces that hold power at the center of the empire.
This is why Linlang knew that Acropolis needed more oil and water, but refused to intervene. Controlling the Acropolis can naturally be profitable, but at the same time, it is also a place where many conflicts gather. If you want to manage the Acropolis, you must balance the forces of all parties. Once there is a mistake in the process, it will easily lead to fire.
Therefore, on the surface, the Acropolis is a "big piece of meat", but from the fact that Linlang not only did not interfere in the affairs of the Acropolis, but also sent his confidants to Hongcheng, it can be seen that this place is not as it seems on the surface. Seeing such infinite scenery.
In the vast area east of the outer city of the Acropolis, this is actually the area controlled by the Sacrifice Hall. It is the Sacrifice Hall that competes with the empire for interests here.
Among the several major forces in the eastern city, the Bronze Hunting Group was behind the Benxiao Pavilion Yu Pavilion. Its original controller was named Wu Tian. After Wu Tian lost his body in the siege of monsters, the person in charge here became Lin Hu.
In today's outer city of the Acropolis, describing it as "a mixed bag of fish and dragons" seems a bit conservative, because here not only "big fish and small shrimps" can be seen everywhere, but also all kinds of "rare birds and animals" can be found in the streets and alleys.
If "rare birds and exotic beasts" are used to describe various prominent forces, in addition, the term "rare birds and exotic beasts" itself can also be understood as a literal meaning, which means that all kinds of monsters and beasts are also full of people in Wei. Outside the city and within the city.
In the inner city, there are a huge number of monsters imprisoned. In fact, various forces also hide various monsters in the outer city. The number and grade are not much worse than those in the inner city. When Boka planned his plan, he did not take the outer city into consideration, so a large number of monsters in the outer city are now being quietly sold to the outside world.
Various chambers of commerce, caravans, aristocratic families, and sects all gathered in the outer city area at this time, which made the already chaotic outer city area suddenly become even more chaotic.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the glow turned the entire Acropolis into a golden color. People were returning to the Yeshan Inn, which was quite large in Xicheng District, one after another.
Outside the inn is a three-story stone building, with a huge circular courtyard behind it. There are long two-story wooden houses on the east and west sides, leaving a row of stables to be built along the north wall, and there are also A huge back door was reserved for carriages to enter and exit.
In fact, there are many inns like this in Acropolis. One of the three floors in front is where guests eat and drink, and the second and third floors are higher-grade luxury rooms. The rooms on the east and west sides of the backyard are not only small and dense, but also have some odor due to the presence of stables. Of course, the price of the rooms is also cheaper than the three-story stone building in front.
At this time, in the restaurant on the first floor of the inn, there were two people, an old man and a young man, sitting in a corner by the window facing the street. There was nothing unusual about these two people on the surface. They seemed to be waiting for some important guests. In today's outer city, no one would pay special attention to these two people.
"If the information is correct, the Yancheng caravan should be returning soon. Will we really gain something if we wait any longer?" The man who looked like an old man picked up the tea bowl in front of him, and before the tea was about to reach his lips, he poured it out. The restrained voice reached the ears of the young man opposite.
Although this old man looks very old, if you observe carefully, you will find that his eyes are bright and lively, which is nothing special for some people who continue to practice. But if anyone hears the sound it transmits, they will immediately tell that this is definitely a sound that only young people can make.
The young man opposite the old man held a folding fan in his hand. In this late winter, the cold wind was biting and even biting, but he still waved the folding fan gently. It can be said that he was the standard style of a young man from an aristocratic family.
The young man cast his gaze on the street, his eyes scanning quickly, and then a subtle mental fluctuation was transmitted, and at the same time his voice was transmitted.
"If my guess is correct, they just want to send out a signal now, a signal of their own existence. They do not need to take the initiative to contact any forces or people, because that will only arouse the vigilance of the villagers, they only need to let The villagers can just find them themselves, which is what I call ‘fishing’.”
This young man dressed like a young man is actually able to transmit sounds with his spiritual power. Even if someone is sitting right next to him, he won't be able to notice it at all.
Even if he was very familiar with the two, he would definitely not recognize that the old man was the original bald young man Amber, and the other was the "empire traitor" known to everyone in the Acropolis, Zuo Feng.
In fact, Zuo Feng was speechless about the title of "traitor". When did he belong to the empire, and he had never promised to serve the Ye Lin Empire. How could he suddenly become a "traitor".
The current situation was only favorable to Zuo Feng in one aspect, because the intelligence obtained by the Acropolis was that he had left the Acropolis before dawn the day before, and only a very few people knew that he was still in the city.
"How can you be sure that the people in the village will definitely take the initiative to contact them? It would be safer for them to act more carefully at this time."
Amber, who was dressed up as an old man, spoke again in doubt, as if he had some doubts about Zuo Feng's judgment.
Gently shaking his head, Zuo Feng slowly retracted his gaze, and his eyes seemed to be unintentional and quickly swept around. At this time, more people began to eat again, but it was certain that no one noticed the two of them.
"Put yourself in their shoes. Even though Zuojia Village was not clear about its situation at the beginning due to the news blockade, how could they not know the danger at this moment?
I believe that they may not be eager to find me at this moment, but they will definitely be eager to get away. If someone comes with the name of "Yancheng Caravan" at this time, they are very likely to try to contact the other party.
It is obviously very dangerous to contact the Yancheng Caravan directly on the street. First, the identity of the caravan cannot be determined. In addition, there are many eyes and ears on the street. If they are accidentally discovered by someone with ulterior motives, everyone will be in danger."
After a pause, Zuo Feng continued: "So after I thought about it, if the people of Zuojia Village choose to take the initiative to contact, then this inn is the best place. I just don't know if I can stop them first, and they must not be allowed to contact the people in the village."
During this period, Zuo Feng not only carefully observed all the suspicious people coming in and out of the inn, but also used telekinesis to carefully investigate all people who entered the inn.
As he said, the best result is to stop Zuojia Village before it contacts this "Yancheng Caravan", and the best is to get in touch with people from Zuojia Village before the other party.
The plan was originally very good, but as the sky gradually darkened, the "Yancheng Caravan" was about to return to the inn, which made Zuo Feng's heart gradually sink.
'Could it be that Zuojia Village has not discovered this caravan yet? This is not completely impossible. After all, the entire outer city is now in a mess. It is not impossible that such an "inconspicuous" caravan has not attracted attention.
But not attracting attention for the time being does not mean that it will not attract attention forever. If I want to stop it, I can only find the people of Zuojia Village first, or find a way to expose the true identity of this Yancheng Caravan. But once I do this, I am afraid that my stay in the Acropolis will also be exposed. '
When Zuo Feng was frowning and thinking secretly, Amber on the opposite side slowly spoke and said, "I'm back."
In this chaotic environment, a "Yancheng Caravan" seemed a little inconspicuous. There were only a dozen people in the caravan, and they were very low-key. They were not interested in the most popular monsters and monster materials, but were very concerned about medicinal materials and alchemy materials, so they almost returned empty-handed in recent days.
Zuo Feng turned his eyes to the window and saw the caravan slowly approaching. In the center of the team was a young man in his twenties. I don’t know if it was because of the outfit or the makeup, but he was actually three or four points similar to Zuo Feng. In addition, there were men and women in the team, and on the surface, there was not much difference from the general caravan.
When he saw the caravan return, Zuo Feng was immediately refreshed. Looking at the other party’s expression, he could tell that they had not successfully contacted the people in Zuojia Village, which was undoubtedly good news for him.
Seeing a group of people file in and walk straight into the inn, it seemed that they had no intention of eating on the first floor, and everyone walked straight to the stairs.
But just as he passed the inn counter, one of the waiters suddenly shouted, "Sir, are you from the Yancheng caravan?"
When he spoke, not only everyone in the caravan, but also Zuo Feng and Amber were startled. The waiter took out a wooden box from under the counter and said, "This is for another guest to pass on to you."
Hearing this, Zuo Feng's heart sank. Although he was very careful, Zuojia Village still contacted the other party.
'How could I be so careless? I should be more cautious! ' Zuo Feng frowned, and the situation finally developed in the direction he least wanted to see. 6
