Chapter 444 Finding Out the Truth
As the registrant introduced, there are clear road signs on both sides of the street, with pictures and texts indicating the locations of various important institutions in the city.
And on the street alone, Yu Linglong saw several pointed-eared monsters.
Although the people around would look at them a few more times, no one came forward to trouble them or point at them and comment on them - it is obvious that monsters and humans have been living together for a long time, and the residents here have basically adapted to the existence of monsters.
"This is not a good sign." Shadow muttered, "The monsters from the Western Extreme have infiltrated the territory of Daqi, and the Seven Stars will never sit idly by."
"Indeed." Yu Linglong agreed, "But the news from the school is the key. The reason why the Privy Council is afraid of monsters is that they have higher talents. If they can find a stable way to inherit, they will be more powerful than human alchemists. "
And according to Yan Qing, Jinxia seems to be opening a new door for humans to inherit the feeling of the feeling. If her news is true, Xia Fan has found a way for everyone to feel the feeling of the feeling, which is absolutely no less meaningful than the creation of the world and the slash-and-burn farming! If people have an absolute advantage in numbers and can sense qi, then the monster is no longer a target worth guarding against.
"But think about it, it's unlikely. Be careful not to be deceived by a traitor." Shadow curled his lips and said, "Maybe the third princess has already laid a net and is waiting for you to show up."
"If I hadn't met Yan Qing before, I would have had some concerns." Yu Linglong laughed pleasantly, "But after talking to her, I already understand that she has not given up her ideals. Yan Qing is still the Lord Qingjian who supported the Privy Council in the most critical moment. Her original intention is the same as ten years ago."
If you say what the biggest gain of secretly going to Shenzhou is so far, it is naturally to see the lock weaver who looks and is in a very good state.
The new school in Jinxia City is just east of the Affairs Bureau. Yu Linglong arrived at the entrance of the school soon.
But she soon discovered a problem. This school is surprisingly large.
Before she saw it with her own eyes, she thought it was a courtyard house about the same size as a private school, but in fact its area is almost the same as the palace square. There are guards at the gate, and no one is allowed to enter. There are more than ten houses within the wall.
Yan Qing's words are coming true bit by bit.
The school education is for all the children in the city.
"You don't plan to break in by force, do you?" Shadow said, "The defense here is obviously stronger than the city gate."
"Don't worry, I know the limits. And even if I sneak in, I can't tell how many people are sensing qi by eyes." Yu Linglong pondered for a moment, "This matter can only be outsmarted."
"Oh? Do you have an idea? Tell me."
"Do you really need me to say it to know?" Yu Linglong sighed.
"Uh... that's true," Shadow touched his head, "I can ask myself."
"Then, let's get started!"
Half an hour later, Yu Linglong pushed a small wooden cart and set up a stall in front of the school. The straw sticks on the front of the cart were full of candied haws. In front of the stall, she also put up a wooden sign with the words "Good luck! Children under ten years old are free, and those over ten years old are five cents per string."
This was of course not something she did by herself. In half an hour, Yu Linglong not only cleared out the candied haws from several shops, but also bought the cart. She believed that no child could resist the temptation of free candied haws. As for the price of five cents per string, it was just to make her behavior look less abnormal.
Next, she just had to wait and see.
"This is a good plan." Shadow licked his lips while looking at the candied haws. "When the students in the school go out to ask you for candied haws, you will have a chance to touch them."
Even if it was just a touch of fingers, it could immediately determine whether the other party was a qi sensor.
"Do you want to eat?" Yu Linglong suddenly asked.
"How is that possible? It's something that only children like to eat. What do you think I am--"
"Hmm... Is that so?" Before Shadow finished speaking, she had already stuffed a string of candied haws into her mouth, "Come to think of it, I haven't tasted sweet food for a long time. Hmm... This honey tastes pretty good."
Shadow seemed to have completely forgotten what she said, and also showed an intoxicated expression.
At dusk, students finally appeared in front of the school one after another, and many of them found the stall opened by Yu Linglong at the first time.
"Sister, I'm only nine years old, can I get it for free?"
"I'm not even ten years old!"
"Big sister, please give me a string!"
In the blink of an eye, a group of children swarmed up.
"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone has a share." Yu Linglong held the other person's hands while handing over the candied haws, "Hold it steady."
Almost at the same time, she sensed a faint breath coming out of the other person's palm.
I didn't expect that the first person was a sensor!
"This should... just be a coincidence?" Even Shadow was very surprised.
Judging from the boy's words and actions, he didn't seem to be treated specially. After getting the candied haws, he happily ran to the side to show off to his friends.
Then came the second Qi sensor, the third Qi sensor...
Yu Linglong's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Only half of the three hundred strings of candied haws were distributed, and the number had risen to more than twenty people, which was obviously beyond the normal level. And according to the children, the school did not separate them from other children for individual training, but only opened additional basic teaching of Qi. In Yu Linglong's opinion, this was a complete waste of natural resources.
Just as she was distributing candied haws, two men in indigo uniforms walked to her stall, "Miss, please show me your merchant license."
"Uh... what license?" Yu Linglong was stunned.
"When you entered the city, the registration staff should have told you that you must apply for a merchant license from the Affairs Bureau before you are qualified to sell food." The other party frowned, "After all, this is an extraordinary period, and we have to prevent someone from deliberately poisoning. Why, didn't you apply for a license?"
Yu Linglong then remembered that the registrant did say something similar, but she was not a professional businessman and didn't take it to heart.
"It seems that there is no more. In this case, the stall must be stopped immediately, and you must also go back to the General Affairs Bureau with us to accept the harmless investigation. Don't worry... I'm just asking some questions." The two seemed to be explaining the situation calmly, but they blocked her retreat one after another in tacit understanding.
"Can't be caught by them! There must be a sensor in the Affairs Bureau. If you are caught, there is only one way to go!" Shadow has already pulled the black longbow to its full length, "I will deal with the one on the left, you are responsible for killing the one on the right, and then immediately leave the city to the south!"
"Put away the bow, if we take action, it will be really hard to explain!" Yu Linglong shouted in her heart.
"Do you still want to explain to them? As long as the enemy finds out that you are a Taoist priest of the Privy Council, they will definitely use severe torture to squeeze out every piece of information you know! This is not Baihe City--"
Just as the three people and the shadow were in a stalemate, a woman's voice interrupted.
"That... are you Linglong?"
Yu Linglong and Shadow looked at the same time and unexpectedly saw a slightly familiar figure.
The former prostitute of Wushuang Pavilion, Yu Shuangxue.
