for evil

Chen Ye flew above the clouds for about three hours, and finally saw the solemn and majestic city below his feet, and at the same time felt the faint... ghostly aura there.

Chen Ye made a calculation, and it should be Pengcheng without a doubt.

Seen from the clouds, Pengcheng is located in a dangerous location and is not too big. However, the alleys in the city are clearly defined, and the city wall is slightly higher than other cities, and it is protected by bronze.Bronze walls and iron walls surrounded the city, and it had an indestructible momentum.In the very center of the city, a nine-story pagoda soared into the sky, looking down upon the world.

Chen Ye turned his flight direction, landed buoyantly, and arrived at the gate of the city.He looked up at the forty-foot-high city wall in front of him, on which the four characters "Pengcheng" were inscribed with vigor and strength.Chen Ye rubbed his neck that was almost shivering, and sighed, it's finally here.

At this time, there were two rows of guards standing at the city gate, and the gate was only half opened.The people who entered the city lined up and were inspected by the guards one by one.Chen Ye also lined up, looking at the situation ahead with his head stretched out.

When it was finally his turn, the two guards raised their halberds to stop him, and looked at Chen Ye up and down, as if looking at a plucked hen: "Aren't you a local?"

Chen Ye felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him, suppressed the little flame that was about to burst out of his heart, and smiled hypocritically: "Yes, yes, yes, I am not a local, I am here to visit relatives."

The guard was unmoved: "Do you have permission to enter the city?"

Chen Ye was surprised: "What permission do I need to enter the city to visit relatives?"

The guard asked, "Is there any?"

Chen Ye said: "No."

The guard rolled his eyes and pushed Chen Ye: "Next."

The little flames that General Chen Ye suppressed suddenly burst into flames: "Hey, what's the matter? Can you be more polite? I'm here to visit relatives, not prison. Why don't you let me in?"

The guard gave him a blank look and ignored him.

Chen Ye rolled up his sleeves: "Hey! You..."

The guard looked at Chen Ye's exposed slender arms, sneered, and pulled the front front intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a section of strong chest muscles.

Chen Ye swallowed, and calculated the possibility of winning the hand-to-hand fight without being able to reveal the immortal magic, and finally backed away, cursing secretly: "It's justified to be strong?"

Chen Ye stood aside in dismay, looking annoyed at the guards' detailed investigation of the people who entered the city. Why did he have to think about stopping outside the city at the beginning?

Chen Ye thought for a while, grabbed a tea vendor who was also rejected by the guards, and asked, "Is the king of Pengcheng's wife kidnapped by a foreigner or he himself was dumped by a foreigner? Why do you hate foreigners so much? You can't even enter the door." so tough?"

The tea vendor put down his burden, wiped off the cold sweat that was frightened by the guards' questioning, and said, "Hey! It was difficult to enter Pengcheng before, isn't it time to catch up with the war again?"

Chen Ye said: "War? What kind of war?"

The tea vendor said, "Don't you know yet? The country of Lu in the north and the country of Cai in the south are already fighting."

Chen Ye said: "I know this, but the place where they fought is still some distance from here, how can they not come here? Besides, it is well known that Pengcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no matter how stupid the kings of the two countries are , and I wouldn’t be foolish to come here to eat the nail of Pengcheng.”

As the Xianjun of the Human World Division, Chenye still has some understanding of the situation in the world: the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the country more than 40 years ago, the evil queen mother and the four-year-old little emperor were forced to commit suicide, so the forces of all parties are ready to move, and they all want to fight in troubled times. He won the first place in the competition and sat on the dragon chair at the top.

In a short period of time, the nine countries ruled the Central Plains, and fought endlessly. The situation in various places changed drastically, blood flowed like rivers, and the people were in dire straits.Take Bianzhou as an example. Seven years ago, it was called Biandu as the capital of Jiang State. In a blink of an eye, it changed its surname to Chen and became Bianzhou.The Lord of the Jiang Kingdom abandoned the city and went south to recharge his batteries.While Lord Chen was proud, Shen Guo took advantage of the loophole in the rear and lost three Chicheng.One of them was slaughtered in the city because it refused to surrender.

People are just living in the troubled times in such fear and fear, muddling along, never daring to identify which country they belong to, for fear that one day the city will change owners, and they will meet a narrow-minded king, and they will be ripped apart by others .

The war has been fought from 40 years ago to the present, and there are soldiers everywhere.There is only one city exception-Pengcheng.

The current city lord of Pengcheng is Fang, and his name is Fang Ya. He is the third generation lord of the Fang family.His grandfather, Fang Yu, was the prince of the previous Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the Great Zhou was gone, troops rebelled one after another in various places.Fang Yu, however, remained on the sidelines, neither surrendering nor trying to expand the territory, but insisted on occupying one side of Pengcheng alone.

To say that the Fang family is also a ruthless character, and there are many guarding a city in troubled times, but even if the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it cannot be exhausted to attack one after another.Only Pengcheng has persisted for [-] years. The owner of the city has changed for three generations, but still has not changed his surname. He is separated from the troubled times, like a paradise.

Facing Chen Ye's question, the tea vendor rolled his eyes: "The one who doesn't want to eat the nail of Pengcheng is a fool! Although Pengcheng is a nail, it is an important nail. Although Pengcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult to attack." It’s a dangerous place, if we can take it in, no matter which city is next to it, it will be much easier to capture.”

Chen Ye said: "Then you have to be able to attack. If you can't attack, your vitality will be seriously injured, and you will be attacked by other countries in the rear, then you will die unjustly."

The tea vendor said: "Everyone understands this truth. Lu Guo and Cai Guo need Pengcheng the most, and the two countries regard each other as the biggest enemy. They have fought many wars in the past 40 years, and they have united to attack Pengcheng. , The result? Not only Pengcheng was unscathed, but the two countries temporarily rebelled and stabbed each other."

Chen Ye was dizzy by his words: "So?"

The tea vendor said: "But it's different recently. Duke Lu married Cai Guo and has a daughter."

Chen Ye said: "Marrying? Although this method seems to work, but the two countries have been fighting for so many years, it is impossible to marry a daughter and relieve it directly."

The tea vendor said leisurely: "But after so many years, the ruler of the Lu Kingdom has changed from a young man to an old man now, and he has no intention of spending it. The current ruler of the Cai Kingdom has just killed his brother and seized the throne, and his position still needs to be consolidated. It was a good time for Lu State to attack Cai State, but the Lord of Lu State could not help but not send troops, and even married his youngest daughter. I don’t need to say more about it.”

Chen Ye nodded, thinking carefully.

The tea vendor continued: "During this period of time, Lu Guo and Cai Guo were still fighting, but the strange thing is that the two sides are not fighting like in the past where you take a city and I kill you 1 people. It's been three months, and I haven't heard of any heavy casualties on the two sides. That posture doesn't look like a war, but it looks like it's for someone. Moreover, the two countries are fighting more and more closer to Pengcheng ,What do you think?"

Chen Ye said: "Even if they really want to join forces, they must be able to conquer Pengcheng! After all, as far as I know, the Fang family in Pengcheng is not a cheap lamp."

The tea vendor said: "Isn't this just in case, Pengcheng will be under martial law!" He pointed to the guards at the gate of the city.

Chen Ye said: "So that's it." Chen Ye squinted at the tea vendor: "Brother, you know a lot."

The tea vendor said: "Hey! We who travel all over the world to sell things must hear some nonsense, young master, you can just listen to it and have fun, don't take it too seriously." He said again: "Young master, are you thirsty after talking so much? Do you want to buy some tea to go back and soak?"

Chen Ye said: "...Recently...money is tight..."

The tea vendor lost his interest, picked up the burden and left sadly.

Chen Ye folded his arms and looked aside again, and the guard responded with a domineering look.Chen Ye backed away, deeply feeling that it was not an option to force his way in, and it would easily attract the attention of others, so he walked a long way around the city, and came to a sparsely populated city wall.

Chen Ye looked at the tall city wall made of bronze, sighed, then took out a talisman from his bosom, stuck it on the wall, and shouted "empty" with a formula, and a piece of the city wall was immediately empty.

Chen Ye leisurely entered the city humming a little song.

The inside of the city wall here is a lush bamboo forest. There is a family in the bamboo forest. A man is feeding chickens in the courtyard. After witnessing Chen Ye's sudden appearance, the man throws away the basket and falls straight down. dizzy...

Chen Ye didn't stop much, and went straight to the main city along the avenue.

The further you go, the more people there are.People set up stalls, and those who sell vegetables sell vegetables.

Chen Ye found that compared with the heavily guarded outside the city, Pengcheng had a different kind of leisurely and comfortable folk style.

Perhaps it is because Pengcheng has been guarding its own side for many years, without intrusion from outsiders, and is self-sufficient in food and supplies. Although the city is not as prosperous as Bianzhou, it is stable and peaceful like a paradise.

On his left is a store called Wangji Melon and Fruit. The storefront looks quite old, and an uncle in a straw hat in his forties is sitting there and shouting feebly: "Come here! Newly picked oranges! They are sweet and delicious. Big orange."

Chen Ye licked his dry lips, feeling thirsty after being called out like that, stepped forward and asked, "How do you sell these oranges?"

The fruit vendor glanced at Chen Ye, shook his chubby palm, and lazily made a "five".

Chen Ye said: "Five cents a catty? Then give me two catties!"

The fruit seller said: "We are talking about selling here, five yuan a piece."

Chen Ye put down the orange: "You are stealing money!"

The fruit seller said: "My oranges are uniquely sweet, so they are more expensive."

Chen Ye swallowed: "It's cheaper, I'll buy more."

The fruit vendor said, "Ten coins, I'll give you three."

Chen Ye touched the money bag, and reluctantly took out ten copper coins.

The fruit seller gave him three oranges.

Chen Ye suppressed the saliva that was about to flow out, and hastily pulled one away.

Previously in Bianzhou, there were mainly foodie Xiaobao, and some food expenses were indispensable.However, after going through the Bianzhou trip this time, Chen Ye's already thin wallet has already bottomed out. He wanted to tighten his belt, but he still couldn't stand the temptation of an orange.

Chen Ye put a piece of orange in his mouth, and a refreshing acid immediately filled his mouth.
