Soaring through the back door, that is also a soaring!

Chapter 569 North King City

Jiang Youning and the others did not leave the city gate far, but casually found a clean place to rest.

"Which of you can cook?"

Jiang Youning looked at Zhou Miao and others and asked.

"Let me do it, I can cook." Zhou Miao raised her hand and then directed several attendants behind her to help him.

Soon, a bright flame was raised, and a group of people sat around the fire.

The forest is rich in products. Although Jiang Youning and Luo Mian don't know how to cook, they have hunted some prey and brought them with them for emergencies, which they just needed now.

Zhou Miao quickly plucked several pheasants and hares, cleaned their internal organs, and roasted them on the fire.

When the aroma comes out and the meat begins to sizzle and become oily, sprinkle on the seasonings that have been prepared and take a bite. The meat is delicious and juicy, making you unable to stop.

The scent wafted to the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city gate couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

The guard who had taken the lead in making things difficult for Jiang Youning and others now had an even more serious look on his face, looking fiercely in the direction where Jiang Youning and others were.

But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to go forward and look for trouble at this time.

The reason why he dared to act in accordance with the rules before was that if something happened, the city lord would stand by him in order to protect his own face.

But if he dares to come forward to make trouble at this time, and the other party kills him in anger, even the city lord will not blame him.

So, now he can only watch Jiang Youning and others chatting and laughing while eating fragrant barbecue.

At this moment, a group of people came towards the city gate from the other direction.

These people wore coarse clothes and linen, and carried huge bamboo buildings behind them, which were filled with fruits, vegetables, and various mountain products picked from the mountains.

Unlike Jiang Youning and others, these people are indeed late.

So of course they were scolded by the city guards, and these people kept nodding in agreement, always with apologetic and flattering smiles on their faces, and constantly saying nice things.

Unlike Jiang Youning and other cultivators, these people are real ordinary people. They have no cultivation, live in poverty, and can only barely support their families with a meager income every day.

Just when these people wanted to lose money and avoid disaster as usual, they suddenly saw a burning fire not far away.

A large part of the reason why these people would rather spend money than wait until dawn before entering is because it is very dangerous outside the city gate, and mysterious beasts will appear suddenly from time to time.

As for these mysterious beasts that suddenly appear, as long as they are not near the city gate, the guards guarding the city will not care about them.

Those mysterious beasts are also smart. After discovering this, they often kill people and then leave, never taking a step closer to the city gate.

These people noticed that Jiang Youning and others were wearing fabrics they had never seen before. There was no doubt that these people were cultivators.

Thinking of this, an old man gained the courage to walk in the direction where Jiang Youning and others were.

He did not choose to bother, but chose a location not far or near, sat down with his son and daughter-in-law, raised a fire, threw the sweet potatoes he brought from home into the fire, and then Take out a dry and hard cake and bake it on the fire. When the others saw this, they looked at each other in shock. After thinking for a moment, they also pretended to have the courage to imitate the old man's actions and found a place to sit around.

People like them can only make some money to support their families by buying things at home. There is not much money in the first place. If some of them are handed over to the guards, there will naturally be even less money left.

Now, when they saw several cultivators around them, they felt lucky.

In the hearts of these people, death is certainly terrifying, but poverty is more terrifying than death. Moreover, those mysterious beasts don't come every day, do they? What's more, there are several cultivators here.

In the eyes of ordinary people, practitioners are like immortals.

In their dreams, they all hope that their children will have the qualifications to practice and then ascend to heaven with their whole family, young and old, chickens and dogs.

The guard watched more and more people walking towards the other side. Even some who had already taken out their money hesitated to collect the money in their hands, turned around and left with their families.

Seeing this scene, the expression on the guard's face became extremely ugly, "How dare these thugs! How dare they!"

At this time, another guard stepped forward and comforted, "These people are just trying to take advantage of others. At worst, they will just take it back twice as much next time. After all, they will not be so lucky next time."

After hearing this, the guard finally regained some sense and said, "You are right, such good luck does not happen every time."

He looked at the crowd gathered not far away and the piles of burning flames, his eyes full of viciousness. At this time, he wished that a powerful mysterious beast would immediately rush out of the forest and destroy this place. Killed all the people.

However, what he hoped for did not happen. Jiang Youning and others, as well as those who came after, were all in peace.

What he didn't know was that he was about to be in trouble.

In Beiwang City, all the shops received orders from Zhou Miao overnight. When facing others, their prices remained unchanged. When facing the people in the city lord's palace, no matter the master inside, they were still scary. If it is a dog, the price will also increase exponentially.

Those who have some conscience just double the amount to show off, while those who are open-mouthed like lions increase it ten times or a hundred times, which can be said to be extremely black-hearted.

But these people don't have any psychological burden. After all, they are also following orders, and they are not targeting everyone. When facing people other than the city lord's palace, they are still conscientious businessmen.

In order to prevent the City Lord's Mansion from finding other people to purchase on its behalf, those who quietly helped the City Lord's Mansion all enjoyed the same treatment.

Overnight, the entire North King City seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes, but it seemed as if nothing had changed at all.

Everyone else's life is still as usual, only the city lord's mansion has turned into a mess.

The city lord looked at the news brought by his men, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he slammed his palms on the table, "How bold, how unreasonable, simply unreasonable, these businessmen don't want to stay in Beiwang City anymore, how dare you target them like this?" City Lord’s Mansion.”

The person kneeling below said tremblingly, "The younger one said the same thing at the time."

"Then how did they answer?" The city lord stared, the anger in his eyes seemed to be turning into reality.

"Those people, those people seem to be confident and not afraid at all." The man's voice became weaker and weaker.
