In late autumn, the weather is dry and cool. In the early morning, there is a powerful wind blowing across the face, bringing a bit of cold feeling that penetrates into the bone marrow.
Because Ye Guhong fully showed his weakness, he won the trust of Captain Yuan, allowing him to avoid the danger of being trapped in fishing nets and be able to move forward with the group.
After driving all night and passing through deep and dense forests, we are finally reaching our destination.
What's ridiculous is that as the rulers of this island, Captain Yuan and the others couldn't defeat the rebels, so they had to travel overnight for safety.
However, we often encountered giant monsters such as black bulls along the way. The journey was not easy, but we finally reached our destination without any danger.
After bypassing the last dense forest, as soon as I escaped, I suddenly became enlightened.
What caught my eye was naturally an extremely majestic imperial city less than a mile away.
This should be the center of the island. The imperial city is located on an extremely wide plain. One side and two sides of the imperial city near Ye Guhong are surrounded by dense jungle, while the other side is adjacent to a majestic mountain, and further back there are natural
It’s the vast ocean
There were only a few hundred steps left before approaching the imperial city. In front of us, there was an obvious road built with sand and gravel. There were some tall bare birch trees on both sides. Although the mountain didn't look that beautiful at the moment, judging from the density,
You can imagine that even in the scorching summer, you will not feel hot while walking under these dense branches.
As they got closer and closer, the entire imperial city was clearly displayed in front of Ye Guhong.
The imperial city is built with blue bricks, and its scale and size are almost the same as Lingdu City in Cangling Continent. And the most rare thing is that the architectural style of this imperial city is almost the same as that of major cities in Cangling Continent, so it doesn't look like it has any
What's so special about it? It's just that there are some differences in details.
Such as the city gate structure. Generally, moats and suspension bridges are set up in front of the city gates, but Penglai Kingdom did not look so carefully. There seemed to be some traces of moats dug around, but I don’t know if they were filled in or if they were not built at all.
I only dug a little and then gave up.
In addition, there is no one to monitor the sentry towers on the city wall.
It seems that the security awareness here is extremely weak.
But when I think about it for a moment, it feels normal
Penglai Island is surrounded by thunderstorm waters, and normal ships cannot pass through it. Therefore, it is an absolutely isolated island environment with no external enemies, and of course no need for fortification.
Although the internal troubles are serious, after all, the strength of the Imperial City side should still be dominant. Captain Yuan and his men are just one of the many troops in the Imperial City. Their victory or defeat does not mean everything.
Therefore, it would be good if the Imperial City side did not form a tribal alliance. The tribal alliance certainly has no ability to provoke the Imperial City side.
In this way, the Imperial City of Penglai Kingdom has almost become a city that no one will touch. Of course, it does not need any defense.
But these are all before Ye Guhong and Di Xu came here. Now that Di Xu has come with the idea of overthrowing the country, of course he will make a big fuss. By then, the city's weak defenses will be on Di Xu's side.
extremely beneficial
When everyone arrived at the huge city gate, Captain Yuan reached out and pushed a gate, revealing a wide gap on one side to allow pedestrians to pass through.
It is incredible that in such a large city, the city gates are not guarded or locked.
The first sight after entering the imperial city made Ye Guhong extremely surprised.
The streets of the deserted city were full of debris and garbage. The air was filled with pungent smells of unknown origin that kept coming. Ye Guhong had reason to believe that this smell was a mixture of countless stench.
Made of
There are many houses on the side of the street, but they are all made of mud and are dilapidated and ready to collapse at any time. They are not at the same level as the houses in cities such as Lingdu City and Anping City.
The most exaggerated thing is that occasionally wild dogs can be seen passing by on the street, looking for food in the garbage piles everywhere on the ground. But judging from their weak appearance, it is obvious that they have gained nothing.
How can such a miserable situation be like what a normal city should have?
Ye Guhong originally thought that Penglai Country was a wealthy country when he saw Captain Yuan's armor and weapons. However, the current situation completely confused Ye Guhong.
Captain Yuan and the others seemed to be used to it, but a few people couldn't stand the stench and pinched their noses.
After crossing a few streets, the situation changed slightly.
The street just now didn't look like a place where people lived, but here you can occasionally see people coming and going and some shops and stalls open on the roadside.
But despite this, the deserted environment, coupled with the occasional appearance of a few unconventional small stalls, makes it even more desolate.
Most of the faces of pedestrians on the road were dull and dull. Many people just bowed lightly and left after seeing Captain Yuan and his party. Some people even ignored Captain Yuan and others and left alone.
On the one hand, the attitude of the people is, but on the other hand, people like Captain Yuan
Not only were they not angry about this, but they also appeared to be even more low-key than the passers-by. It seemed that they did not want to see these people, but it was not the other way around, but there was a faint feeling of panic in their expressions.
The speed of walking has also become faster, obviously he wants to leave this place immediately
The group finally stopped at an ordinary house at the end of the street, and dozens of people rushed inside in a hurry.
After returning home, I felt extremely comfortable. Everyone took off their armor and went back to their own rooms. It seemed like they were going to sleep every now and then.
Captain Yuan, Xiao Si and others went straight to a main hall on the west side, while Ye Guhong was escorted to the woodshed in the backyard and locked up.
"Here we go again..." Ye Guhong sat down on a wooden pier with a depressed expression.
Being locked up like this is not an option. I don't know when I can be "used", let alone whether I can be locked up with Hu Kuohai and others and wait like this. Anyway, I have already arrived in the imperial city.
, instead of waiting, it’s better to check everything out yourself.
Thinking of this, Ye Guhong no longer hesitated, and went directly to the corner of the woodshed where he piled the most wood and was least likely to be discovered, and then activated the blade's spiritual energy to continuously attack the wall.
The mud wall obviously couldn't withstand the crazy destruction of Ye Guhong's blade. In less than a moment, the mud fell off, and a big hole appeared in the wall.
The light and agile body rushed out without making any sound. After touching the ground, he ran the Nine Palaces Phantom Step. In an instant, he had traveled several feet away and climbed over the wall to leave.
