survival in the wilderness

Chapter 455 Goodbye Xu Hui
Looking at the city lord's mansion, Lin Yan felt extremely ironic.

How many people have exchanged their blood and sweat for the luxury and beauty here.

The majestic and majestic houses are connected together, and bossy people come in and out. Their disdainful expressions and condescending postures are all indicating that they are superior to others.

All these luxurious enjoyments were obtained by countless people with their blood, tears and lives, but there was not even a chance to look at them.

She was lucky. After waiting all morning, she actually met Xu Hui who was out.However, he was not alone, there was a group of people behind him.

As soon as Lin Yan released his mental energy, Xu Hui felt it and looked at each other calmly.

Seeing him leading people away, Lin Yan did not pursue him, but found an inconspicuous corner to hide himself.

After waiting for more than half an hour, someone finally arrived.

They found a remote inn and the two sat across from each other and looked at each other.

Lin Yan spoke first: "I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still the same. You are unassuming and unruly at heart. However, you look more pleasing to the eye than before."

"Haha, you have changed a lot." Xu Hui sneered, "You are more stable and mature than before, and a little less wanton. I like you better before."

"We see the same thing." Lin Yan reached out and poured a glass of water for each of them, "Well, when you are in your position to pursue your own affairs, the burden on you is so heavy that you can't help yourself. How can you be so wanton and happy like you? I thought you were going to hide in the dark and wait for the opportunity. Only when I saw you two days ago did I realize that I was completely wrong. Geniuses are really different. Not everyone can do it with such a high profile and infiltrate the enemy."

"You're a weirdo, don't think I can't hear your sarcasm." Xu Hui picked up the water glass and drank it in one gulp, "Tell me, shouldn't you be in Sun City? Why are you in Fengcheng?"

"Of course I'm here for the great cause of the alliance." Lin Yan looked at him innocently, "I told the truth. I really want to praise you. It's not good for you to misinterpret it like this."

Xu Hui didn't believe her, "Don't talk about these useless things. I'm pressed for time, so I'll keep the story short."

"Okay, why are you in Fengcheng? Seeing how you hugged each other before going out, you are obviously doing well. You have already infiltrated the Ling family. What is your identity here?"

Judging from his flamboyant appearance, he seems to have a good background, more like the pomp of a powerful person from aristocratic family.

Compared to him, she was so inferior.Dress up in disguise, stay invisible and keep a low profile, and you will have to spend money and eliminate disasters whenever you enter a city.

Xu Hui said proudly: "With my ability, shouldn't I be able to do this? Looking at your downcast appearance, you are really not doing well. To tell you the truth, I am the special envoy of Qicheng, and I have come to Fengcheng to discuss important matters. .”

Lin Yan couldn't see the irritation on his face, "What's the important matter? What's your status in Qicheng?"

Judging from what he meant, he was already a great figure in Qicheng. Being able to represent him out of the city to discuss matters showed his extraordinary ability.

"Listen carefully." Xu Hui paused and saw Lin Yan pretending to listen carefully before saying: "I am the staff of Tang Xingcheng, the lord of Qicheng City, and I serve as counselor in the city lord's mansion. Tang Xingcheng wants to cooperate with the Ling family of Fengcheng. I have been specially sent to discuss matters.”

"Why cooperate? It has been rumored for a long time that Qicheng is arrogant and domineering, does not take other city lords into account, and wants to dominate Tiandu Mountain. Why has there been no movement after so many years?"

As early as Shen Tianlin and his people sneaked to Sun City for help, Qicheng had already made it clear that he wanted all the city lords to surrender. After many years, there seemed to be no movement.

Lin Yan, Shui Sheng and others had discussed this point many times and speculated on the reasons.

Xu Hui said: "In the early years, Qicheng was really powerful. I heard that a big man had emerged with great talent and was the hope of Qicheng. Later, nothing happened. From the information I gathered, I inferred that the big man went out for something and never came back. . I speculate that the man climbed over Tianduan Mountain and went to the other side. Qicheng has no support, so it naturally dies."

"The reason why I was sent to Fengcheng this time is that Qicheng is still evil and intends to join forces with Fengcheng in private to divide Yongcheng and eat it. However, in my opinion, this is just the Qicheng Tang family's own cleverness. The Ling family and The Su family in Yongcheng has a lot of connections, and the Tang family is seeking death."

Lin Yan looked at him with admiration, "Awesome, there are really not many people who can do what you do. Don't tell me that you don't have any credit for this? In just a few words, it provoked a conflict between the three giants. , breaking the apparent balance, as long as they mess up their position, the alliance will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"I didn't do anything. I just encouraged Tang Xingcheng a few words. Over time, how could he not be moved. With me, a loyal subordinate, I could clear the way for him. Tang Xingcheng was very ambitious, and the Tang family had never stopped thinking about hegemony. , what a great opportunity, why not give it a try."

Lin Yan gave him a thumbs up, "Easier said than done. Only you can do this, relying on your lips and tongue alone to stir up chaos without using any soldiers. In this meeting, the Tang family should not I’ll assign you full responsibility, right?”

After all, he is an outsider in the staff, so how can he be as reliable as his own people.She finally understood that the most powerful people in these families trusted their blood relatives the most.

"You're right. The person responsible for this trip is the elder of the second clan of the Tang family. I just followed him to join in the fun."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Don't fool me. I saw everything that happened that day. With that kind of pomp and the crowds of people cheering before going out today, who dares to really think that you are just joining in the fun. I guess, the clan elder You are the one holding the battle, so you have to be here to talk about it."

"You have eyesight." Xu Hui sneered, "You don't think the same as I do, do you?"

"A kind person like me would never have dark thoughts." Lin Yan blinked, looking innocent.

"Tch, stop pretending. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Xu Hui knew her very well and was very ambitious. Everyone in Tianduan Mountain had long been regarded as her meal. Sooner or later, chaos would break out, so it was better for them to add more fuel to the fire.

"Since you have seen through it, I will tell you the truth. The status of the Tang family elder is valuable enough. If you can stay here, you will definitely gain unexpected rewards."

She looked at him and affirmed: "There is a connection between hearts."

The two talked for half an hour, but Xu Hui couldn't disappear for too long and left in a hurry.

Lin Yan stood on the second floor of the inn, opened the window and looked into the distance.Looking at the prosperity and bustling, but the darkness is full of dirt, it is time to clear the clouds and let the sunshine shine on all places.

However, as soon as Xu Hui mentioned Hades, he also became aware of this dark force.This is a mysterious organization that travels outside all forces. It is good at hiding, hiding in the dark and making waves.

According to Xu Hui's investigation, there is a reason why Tianduan Mountain has not been unified for many years, and there are traces of the stirrings of the underworld.

Lin Yan thought to himself, from the looks of it, Hades doesn't want one force to dominate Tiandu Mountain.So, are you aware of the Sun Alliance’s ulterior motives?
Mi Yang was gone, and Lin Yan didn't know anyone else in Fengcheng.I stay at the inn every day and go out for a walk when I feel like it.

In the meantime, I met Xu Hui again. He came to say goodbye and wanted to take people back to Qicheng.

At that time, Lin Yan looked at him with a smile and said, "Take care along the way. At any time, remember to protect your own people without making fearless sacrifices."

There are people in the alliance secretly lurking with him. They have been quiet these years, but the situation will soon be broken. In troubled times, the most important thing is to protect yourself.

The day before meeting Xu Hui, a major event occurred in Fengcheng. Two envoys from Qicheng were killed and injured, one of whom was the leader of the Tang family.For such a big event, the envoy from Qicheng did not dare to stay. After a quick inquiry, he hurriedly took the people back.I was afraid that someone would be killed again, and I was even more afraid of being besieged in Fengcheng.

Three days later, Lin Yan visited every aristocratic family in Fengcheng.In the dark night, she came and went like the wind, and no one noticed anything unusual.

On September [-], Mi Yang came back with Niu Dashan and others.

When they met, Niu Dashan and others looked at her, as if they saw a god coming, and they knelt down.

The sound made Lin Yan tremble and he quickly stood up to help others, "Brother Dashan, what are you doing? Stand up and talk properly."

Mi Yang was taciturn, but Lin Yan had long given up hope for him to rescue him.

"Brother Dashan, get up quickly. How can I bear you doing this? We are all human beings, there is no need to salute. Get up quickly, sit down and talk."

Under Lin Yan's persuasion, Niu Dashan and others stood up and looked at her with excitement. The look made her tremble all over and was so hot that it melted her body.

Lin Yan coughed lightly and said, "Brother Dashan, we have something to talk about. Why are you looking at me like this? If this continues, I will find a place to hide."

Who could bear being stared at by a group of strong men for a long time?

Niu Dashan suppressed his excitement and said in a trembling voice: "You didn't lie to me, everything you said is true. Everything I saw in Ningcheng is real. Fortunately, I believed you, otherwise I would never know what happened outside Fengcheng. How people live.”

The strong black man standing next to him said in a loud voice: "Ningcheng is a place where only gods can live. I can take a look. It is really blessed by my ancestors."

"Heizi, don't say anything if you can't speak. Where is the blessing from the ancestors, it is clearly the blessing from Miss Mihua." Another strong man's voice was like a bell.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stared at by others.

Someone said directly: "Er Ming, don't talk."

Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh. This man named Er Ming killed everyone in an instant as soon as he spoke. They were conspiring. After this voice, everyone around them looked over.

At this time, a group of people were sitting around in the lobby of the inn. They were already conspicuous, and with Er Ming's voice, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the lobby.

Lin Yan was the only girl at the table, and she immediately became the center of attention.

Seeing everyone looking over, Niu Dashan hurriedly said: "Sorry, my brother has a loud voice and has disturbed everyone."

When he looked away, he looked at Er Ming: "Be careful, this is outside. If you can't control it, don't talk."

Er Minghan smiled and scratched his head, looking at Lin Yanxiao embarrassedly.

Lin Yan couldn't laugh or cry, "It's okay. Let's move to another place. Isn't it convenient to talk here?"

The group went directly to the nearest Niu Dashan's home.

When he arrived at home, Niu Dashan's eyes overflowed with joy, "Everyone was very satisfied with our trip to Ningcheng this time. We couldn't find a better place than there. We have already inquired clearly, if we move with our family, In the past, people would be sent to pick you up, so you didn’t have to worry about the dangers on the road.”

"The cold season is coming soon, and the time left for us is limited. We have agreed to leave as soon as possible and move the family there. There will be someone there to take care of us, just five days later."

"So fast?" Lin Yan was startled by their mobility. In her opinion, it was not surprising that they would have a heartbeat, but it was still a bit sudden to move away with their families within a few days.

"I can't wait all day and want to leave right away." Heizi said eagerly, "After seeing Ningcheng, who would want to stay here. I don't want to endure the hard life anymore. I have to be careful when I walk on the street. life."

Another person felt the same and said: "No, I don't dare to go out on the street now, for fear that I will be unlucky if I meet a noble person and look down on me. If I get beaten lightly, I will be killed if I am unlucky. This way The days are really long enough.”

"Not only that, the officials here are above us, sucking our blood, but they don't treat the people as human beings. They don't even have to look at them, it's like seeing something dirty by accident. I'm too familiar with that look."

"Who says it's not? Everything is expensive, you can't make money, you don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes every day, you are hungry and scared, who can bear it. Ningcheng is so nice, you don't have to worry about these things. I don't even dare to do that now I believe that when those officials saw how friendly and kind we were, they took the initiative to help. This would be a no-brainer in Fengcheng."

……

Several people chatted a lot, and all of them were complimentary.

Lin Yan heard such words too many times, but every time she found them very pleasing to her ears, and at least they could still help some people.

Seeing that they had finished talking, Lin Yan said: "You can move out if you want, but you have to leave the city separately. The houses here cannot be disposed of, so as not to attract the attention of others. Once discovered, no one can leave."

The house is an important asset, and they want to sell it and settle down in Ningcheng.

One person asked hurriedly: "If we don't sell the house, we have no money, and even if we get to Ningcheng, it will be difficult. And the cold season is coming, and I am thinking of selling the house and preparing some things to take with me."

Seeing the worried expressions on their faces, Lin Yan comforted him: "Don't worry, go to the City Lord's Mansion when you get to Ningcheng. They will give you the money for the house. If you want to exchange it for a house in Ningcheng, you can exchange it. What about Ningcheng? They are all available, and the prices are also cheap. If you move here from Fengcheng, you will enjoy great discounts."

In this way, the house in Fengcheng can be used for other purposes.

The alliance has a clear policy on immigrants from outside the country, and the preferential policies are very strong. As long as they are voluntary and there are no problems after verification, they will be processed according to the procedures.

Niu Dashan looked happy and inquired: "The money used in Ningcheng is different from here. I asked people, they use sun coins, which are different from silver. They are very beautiful. I heard that you can exchange them for sun coins." Coin, is it true?”

"It's true. Silver can be exchanged for Sun coins at any bank in the Sun Alliance. One tael of silver can be exchanged for one yuan. One yuan can buy a hundred catties of flour and thirty catties of rice in Ningcheng."

Heizi asked carefully: "Is the rice the kind that noble people eat?"

"Exactly." Lin Yan continued: "One yuan is equal to ten cents, which is equal to one hundred cents. Do you all know about the refined salt for consumption?"

A group of people nodded in unison. Salt is a precious thing. It is difficult for ordinary people to afford it, but they must eat it.

Nowadays, coarse salt in Fengcheng costs one tael of silver per catty, and refined salt costs five taels of silver per catty.
