Chapter 547 What a coincidence
Since he said this, Xiao Lingjiang felt relieved for the time being. After all, this white-faced knight sounded quite admired by the people of Shazhou.

She followed the white-faced knight to avoid people, and finally arrived in front of a grain store.

The white-faced knight tapped lightly with his finger, and the door quickly opened from the inside: "It's you, knight... Come in quickly."

As he said that, the middle-aged man hurriedly welcomed them in, looked around again, and saw no one else around, then carefully closed the door.

Inside the grain store, the shopkeeper and his wife briefly looked at Xiao Lingjiang and the girl, and then looked at the white-faced knight together.

The white-faced knight pointed at the girl behind him: "You two, this young lady and her father and brother will probably trouble you for a while."

"What did the knight say?" the shopkeeper said quickly after hearing this. He looked at the girl and said, "If the young lady doesn't dislike it, she can hide her face for the time being and stay with the madam. As for her father and brother..."

"My grain store is hiring recently, so having these two extra people won't attract too much attention."

The shopkeeper and his wife already knew about the girl's experience from the white-faced knight, so they naturally sympathized with her.

Since it was occupied by the Tibetans, the survivors of Shazhou have been bullied. Even the shopkeeper's family almost lost their lives because of the Tibetans. Thanks to the secret help of the white-faced knights, they were saved. .

This little lady has a pretty face, but she is spotted by the lecherous Tibetan dignitary. It would be really unlucky for her to find a way to take advantage of her.

Not to mention that their family had received great kindness from chivalrous people, but that they were the survivors of the Zhou Dynasty who were struggling to survive at the hands of the Western Tibetan people. When something happened, they would naturally do their best to help.

After settling the matter with the girl's family, the white-faced knight bid farewell to the shopkeeper and his wife and went outside.

Xiao Lingjiang followed him and thought. Judging from the words and deeds of the grain shop owner, he must have helped many people in the past. No wonder the girl trusted him so much when she saw him.

As the night got darker, the two of them walked to an alley, and the white-faced knight in front suddenly stopped.

"Are you inquiring about the Devil City today?"

When Xiao Lingjiang heard this, she immediately became vigilant. She didn't know that the conversation in the market today was actually listened to by someone who was interested.

"I just heard someone mention it and got a little curious." She shrugged and said relaxedly.

The brow behind the knight's mask couldn't help but frown. He turned around and stared at the person in front of him: "Curious? You are not like an ordinary businessman..."

If he were really that well-behaved businessman, why would he want to inquire about the legendary Devil City?You know, no one has mentioned this Devil City for a long time...

There have been a lot of changes in Shazhou City recently, and the forces in the Devil City are also getting ready to move, so the white-faced knight specially ordered people to pay more attention to people from all walks of life.

The white-faced knight was also hiding in the market today, and happened to be standing near the Hu merchant.

When this man and his companions were talking to the Hu Shang, they inadvertently mentioned the hidden town, which seemed to be a deliberate reference to the Devil City.Especially when Hu Shang mentioned the Devil City, he intentionally or unintentionally inquired about its location, which made the white-faced knight suspicious.

He used the moonlight to look at the person in front of him, who was dressed as a dark and thin businessman.If ordinary people looked at him, they would really regard him as an ordinary merchant.But relying on his intuition, he knew that this person was far from being as simple as he seemed.

What's more, ordinary businessmen would never have the courage and ability to break into the mansion of a powerful man alone and rescue a weak girl.

He squinted his eyes, and his voice was even more serious: "Your companion and the other companions are staying at the inn on West Street in the south of the city..."

This statement already contained a bit of a threat.Judging from tonight, the reputation of this white-faced knight among the people of Shazhou is not low, and he is quite powerful. It is not difficult to find these businessmen from other places.

Xiao Lingjiang stopped smiling: "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

The man said coldly: "I don't have any ill intentions towards you. However, you and your group may not be here for business... What are your intentions in asking about Devil City?"

Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your Excellency is so concerned about the Devil's City. Could it be that you are one of the people here, lest we do harm to it?"

The man felt unhappy when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "The devil city is full of evil ways. The people of Shazhou are in the current situation, and it is indispensable for those people to contribute to the situation behind the scenes. I can't wait to get rid of them and quickly, how can I fight with them?" Complicity!”

When Shazhou fell into the hands of Xifan, he was only about ten years old, but he still clearly remembered what his grandfather said before that.

"Recently, the Western Tibetan offensive has become more and more fierce, and chaos has occurred frequently in the city, making the people panic..."

"It turns out that there are people in the city who are causing trouble secretly. I think their methods are extraordinary. It seems that they have been secretly helping Xifan!"

"I finally got some news today. That group of people seems to be from a small city in the Gobi. I have to take a few brothers to find out..."

Once Grandpa left, there was no news again.Immediately afterwards, Shazhou City was also attacked by the Western Tibetans, with numerous soldiers killed and injured. All the remaining people of the Zhou Dynasty came under the control of the Western Tibetans. From then on, they were bullied wantonly by the Western Tibetans.

Although Xiao Lingjiang couldn't see the expression on his face through the mask, he could feel his indignation just from his voice.

"That's a coincidence!" Xiao Lingjiang sighed, stroking his palms, "Similar to your Excellency, I don't have a good impression of the Devil's City. I just want to find out what's going on."

"Oh?" The man frowned slightly.

The group of them is indeed suspicious, but they secretly helped the girl in the market, and then went to the mansion of the powerful Xibo to save the girl. The people in front of them did not seem to be evil people, nor did they seem to be in collusion with Xibo. look.

"Why are you looking for that devil city?"

Xiao Lingjiang knew that if she didn't say something, this person might not believe her easily.

She looked at his words and deeds, and it seemed like he had some enmity with Devil City. Looking at his reputation among the people of Shazhou, she might not be able to cooperate with him.

"Have you ever heard of the Divine Palace?" Xiao Lingjiang asked.

"Shrine?" The man frowned even more tightly.

Although Shazhou is now under the rule of Xibo, as a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has never changed his mind to return to the Zhou Dynasty, so he naturally has people inquiring about the news of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The shrine intended to destabilize the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the imperial court ordered to capture the remnants of the shrine everywhere. Although Shazhou was far away, he had heard a little bit about it.

"Are you here for the palace?"

Xiao Lingjiang nodded calmly: "I suspect that the legendary Devil City may be the stronghold of the shrine."

The man's eyes were shocked, and then he suddenly realized: "No wonder, no wonder..."
