Fan County is a medium-sized county seat.
The business is not very prosperous, but because there has been no war in Tianyun country for a long time, the people's life is comfortable. As the saying goes, work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
But ever since the news came that King Dashun had made a comeback and attacked the Quartet, things were different. All the people are worried, fearing that this world will become a ghost town.
Not long after, news spread that many cities had been attacked. There are also many people who have fled, and the situation is getting more and more turbulent. There were also quite a few hooligans, and those with unscrupulous intentions began to take advantage of the chaos and rob.
Within one day in Fan County, there were five cases of women being raped. You must know that this kind of thing is a big deal. Normally, it may not happen once a year.
The remaining burglary and thief cases are even more numerous.
Women in Fan County seldom go out for fear of being targeted.
After Chen Guhong came to Fan County, what he saw were pedestrians in a hurry, and there were also many fleeing people. Most of them were wealthy men with their slaves, and they traveled in carriages.
Asked, answered.
"King Dashun is really fierce, fleeing ten thousand miles is not enough. I plan to go to the seaside, or even go out on a floating boat, so as not to become the ration of ghosts."
All in all, chaos.
Standing in the center of the city, Chen Guhong sighed involuntarily while looking at the surrounding situation.
"When Dashun makes a comeback, humanity will decline."
It was almost noon now, and Wan Zhenglong felt a little hungry, so he said, "Let's go, let's go eat."
"En." Chen Guhong nodded, and the two came to a restaurant in the city.
There are few guests in the restaurant, but they just chat for a few tables. But looking at the size of the hotel, there should be many guests in normal times. The shopkeeper was also frowning and in poor spirits.
"Eat." Wan Zhenglong said, standing in front of the shopkeeper.
"First of all, the food is very expensive." The shopkeeper took another look at Wan Zhenglong and muttered.
"Very expensive? How expensive can it be? Ten taels of silver is enough to serve all the dishes here." Wan Zhenglong felt underestimated. Said furiously.
"It's a joke to be objective. If you want to eat all the dishes in this restaurant, you need at least one hundred taels or more." The shopkeeper stretched out a finger.
"Isn't this too dark?" Wan Zhenglong's eyes widened, and he looked like a profiteer.
The shopkeeper showed a wry smile, and said: "In the year of turmoil, everything is valuable, but money is no longer valuable. Rice and various daily necessities are scarce, and profiteers are taking the opportunity to drive them up. Now let alone price increases every day. One Shi Chen, the price has risen in the blink of an eye. Today's objective one hundred taels of silver can eat all the dishes in this restaurant, and maybe it will cost a thousand taels tomorrow."
"My day!"
Wan Zhenglong was not short of money, and was willing to spend it, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but swear.
It's also too expensive.
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters, they have been traveling together since ancient times. Ghosts and ghosts are rampant, profiteers are making trouble, this world is no longer the world." Chen Guhong sighed.
At this moment, even if the heart is hard-hearted, I am afraid that I will sigh. What's more, Chen Guhong is a real good person.
Whether the price is too dark or not. Wan Zhenglong always wanted to eat, so he ordered a lot of dishes like a shopkeeper and started eating and drinking. He also has a big belly, and he ate eight dishes in the blink of an eye. Three bowls of rice.
Chen Guhong was in a bad mood, so he just had a taste of it.
At this moment, a few guests came in. The clothes of these guests were not vulgar, and they looked like country gentlemen with status and status.
These squires all looked unhappy. Very boring. After serving the table, I immediately ordered a jar of wine and several dishes of cold dishes. Then started drinking stuffy wine.
The atmosphere was dull and slightly hopeless.
After three cups of wine, a squire lamented, "The King of Dashun claims to want humans and ghosts to jointly rule the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom and make the world peaceful. The slogan is loud, but I have heard that many strangers have been sucked out of their yang energy." and die."
"I heard something even more outrageous. In order to please King Dashun, a man was loyal to King Dashun. He not only killed himself, but also killed his whole family to become ghosts. This kind of thing is simply absurd. It's messed up, messed up."
"How could this be, how could this be."
"Why didn't the immortal who blesses the fate not make a move?"
"Although we don't have any definite news, we can guess that something is wrong with the immortal. Now the only one who can defend against King Dashun is His Majesty the current Emperor."
"However, how mighty is the Dashun King? Thousands of years ago, he was a figure like a Mingjun who ruled the world. It has been thousands of years now. How terrifying is his mind? How powerful is his strength? The current emperor To King Dashun, even though he has the Zhen Guo Yuxi on him, he is probably invincible."
"Isn't Your Majesty joining forces with King Qi now? The Zhenguo Yuxi, plus the Orb of Humanity, and countless troops, there should be a chance of success or failure, right?"
"Of course there is the power of a gamble, but the chances of winning may not be great."
"Then what should we do? Can the human world just turn into a ghost land? What should we do?"
Long sighs and short sighs sounded one after another. At this moment, a squire suddenly said: "Actually, there are still two hopes."
"What hope?"
All the squires showed joy and asked questions one after another.
"Firstly, a god took action and suppressed the Dashun Ghost King. Secondly, a hero emerged from the world who was capable of overpowering Dashun King and saving us."
said the squire. Immediately, there were shouts and curses one after another.
"What kind of god, what kind of hero, made us happy for nothing."
"Yeah, it's all illusory things, what are you talking about."
But the squire said: "Since ancient times, there has been great chaos and there has been great order. Will the hero who ordered the world be born out of nowhere to put down the troubled world?"
"It's still illusory after all, can you be more serious?" The other squires sneered.
"What if it's the book swordsman?" the squire said suddenly. The scene was silent for a while, and the book swordsman Wu Quanshan had already become famous on Mount Wuquan. He beheaded Bai Zheng, Fei Zai and other top figures, and he was the most arrogant.
This person is definitely not illusory, and seems to have signs of that kind of Gedai character. But after thinking about it carefully, one of the squires sighed: "Even though the book swordsman is a talent from heaven, he is the most heroic person in the world. But heroism is heroism after all, and it is not as good as the opponents of the royal family's Zhenguo Yuxi and Human Dao Orb. King Qi's teaming up is also under the influence of King Dashun, so what's the use of the book swordsman?"
"That's true." The squire thought carefully after hearing the words, and knew that he was thinking too much, so he couldn't stop smiling bitterly. Then he raised his glass and said, "Ask the heavens, when will the fateful hero be born in this Heavenly Fortune Kingdom?"
"The same question."
Many squires also raised their glasses together.
