Chapter 721

Ningyang, the latest chapter of Xiaoling County.

Compared with Daiyun City, Ningyang is much larger and more lively and prosperous. Even in the entire Ning Kingdom, Ningyang is a large city that can be ranked among the top five.

However, due to the approach of Feng Jun, Ningyang is much more depressed than before. Many wealthy households in the city have moved away. The streets are deserted. More than 50% of the shops are closed. Even during the day, there are only a few shops to be seen. pedestrian.

This is what Tang Yin and Cheng Jin saw when they entered Ningyang.

While walking and looking, Tang Yin laughed out loud and asked Cheng Jin beside him: "Cheng Jin, what did you see?"

Not understanding the meaning of his question, Cheng Jin shrugged and said, "Brother, I didn't see anything."

Ningyang is bigger than Daiyun City and has more shops, but half of the shops are closed.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "It is said that Ningyang is one of the main cities in Ningguo. Just looking at the rows of shops, it is not difficult to imagine how bustling it used to be. However, our army is only stationed in Hexi and has not yet reached Xiaoling County. Ningyang has become so deserted, which shows that Ning people are cowardly! If they live in peace for too long, they will become greedy for life, so even if Ning's national power is ten times that of ours, we can still conquer them. "

Cheng Jin nodded thoughtfully and said, "What eldest brother said makes sense."

"The county capital should be in the center of the city. Let's go and take a look."

"good!"

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin rode horses slowly down the street. When they were approaching the center of the city, they did not dare to go any further. Tang Yin's guess was correct. The county capital is indeed located in the middle of Ningyang. However, outside the current county capital, there are many soldiers and armors, and they are heavily guarded. There are posts every ten steps and sentries every five steps. Groups of soldiers can leave in two or three minutes. Passing one column, these are still the guards on the surface, and there are probably many hidden sentries that cannot be seen!

After just a cursory look, Tang Yin secretly shook his head. With such a tight guard, it was almost impossible to forcefully rush in. Even if he wanted to sneak in in disguise, he could not avoid the insights of Ning Jun's spiritual cultivators.

Feeling that there was no chance of attacking from the front, Tang Yin quietly winked at Cheng Jin, signaling him to change direction and circle around the side of the county capital.

The two rode horses and quickly entered the alleys on the streets to check the security on both sides and back of the county capital. The result disappointed Tang Yin. The security situation on the other three sides of the county capital was basically the same as that on the front. A large number of Nings were there. The general's protection of the county capital was impeccable, and looking at the posture of Ning's soldiers, they looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Our side has not yet entered Xiaoling County, let alone Ningyang. Why is the Ning army protecting Lin Han so closely? Even to the point of being abnormal. Unable to find a loophole, the two had no choice but to leave. On the way, Cheng Jin couldn't restrain his curiosity, frowned and whispered: "Brother, there is something abnormal here!"

"Yes, it's very abnormal!" Tang Yin also felt the same way.

Cheng Jin said: "The security at the county capital seems as if Lin Han has a premonition that someone will come to assassinate him."

That's right! Cheng Jin's casual words reminded Tang Yin. Thinking about it carefully, the county capital looked like it was facing a powerful enemy, as if someone had just assassinated Lin Han. He was certain that there was no assassination attempt on his side. Could it be that Lin Han had enemies other than his own?

It’s hard to tell that this peaceful Ningyang City still has many mysteries hidden in it. He smiled slightly and said: "It's useless to guess, Cheng Jin, where do you think the information is the best?"

"Tavern, or teahouse!"

"That's right, let's find a tavern first and listen to the news while filling our stomachs."

"Okay! Brother!"

The two of them were walking forward. Suddenly, their bodies were shaken together, and they felt vigilance and murderous intent in their hearts!

However, this strong murderous aura was not directed at the two of them, but had always been here. It was just that they had inadvertently walked in and felt the murderous aura.

Tang Yin subconsciously turned his head and looked around. There was a large house on his left. This house was very close to the county capital and about the same size. The murderous aura he felt came from the house.

Rather than saying it is murderous intent, it is better to say it is pressure, the spiritual pressure emanating from the spiritual cultivator. You don't need to enter the house, you can tell just by the spiritual pressure emanating from the house. There are a large number of spiritual cultivators in the house, and there are many outstanding ones with superb cultivation.

"Brother?"

Cheng Jin looked at Tang Yin, raised his arm, touched his waist, and made a gesture to draw the sword.

Tang Yin waved his hand at him, hinting him to calm down, and he whispered slowly: "It's not our business, so don't cause trouble."

"Yes!" Cheng Jin agreed and slowly lowered his raised hand.

The two of them pretended to be nonchalant and strutted past the house.

Just as they were about to pass the main entrance of the house, the door suddenly opened, and three middle-aged men walked out, blocking their way.

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin reined in their horses and looked at the three of them. All three of them were in their early forties, wearing simple green clothes and cloth shoes. They looked no different from ordinary people. However, even if Tang Yin could not use the skill of insight, Tang Yin It can also be clearly felt that these three people are all spiritual cultivators, and they all have extremely profound cultivation.

They were sizing each other up, and the other side was also sizing them up, and all three of them had brilliant eyes, releasing the power of insight.

Insight is a basic skill for spiritual cultivators, but it cannot be used casually. When one spiritual cultivator releases insight to another spiritual cultivator, it is like a maximum provocation, and the consequences are likely to lead to A fight to the death on both sides.

Seeing the other party release insight to him, Cheng Jin's face suddenly sank. At the same time, black spiritual mist emanated from his body and surrounded his body, condensing and not dispersing.

Neither side spoke, but the atmosphere was extremely tense. At this time, Tang Yin seemed like an outsider. It was funny that he just passed by here and didn't provoke anyone, but trouble came to him.

Just as they looked at each other, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the middle of the three middle-aged men asked: "I wonder which sect the two dark friends are from? Why did you come to my Qingyun Hall? You can't come for treasures!"

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin were confused. What Qingyun Hall, what treasure? They had never heard of it.

The two looked at each other in confusion. Tang Yin smiled but said nothing. Cheng Jin frowned and said, "We are not from any sect or school. We are just hunters who make a living by hunting. As for your Qingyun Hall, my two brothers have never heard of it, let alone the treasure you are talking about. We are just passing by. If you have nothing else, please make way."

"Humph, hunter? That's a nice thing to say! Ningyang is so big, you two have to go through here. I think you two have ulterior motives!" The middle-aged man on the left sneered and said, "Brother Liu, there is no need to waste time talking to these two little thieves. Capture them first!"

"Hey?" The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes waved his hand to stop his companions. His eyes swept over Cheng Jin and fell on Tang Yin.

It was rare to find a cultivator who had reached the Spirit Heaven Realm, and it was even rarer to find a Dark Spirit Cultivator. Moreover, this young man had a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing. Of course, he would not believe that he was a hunter. However, since the other party did not express his intention to seize the treasure, there was no need for him to make trouble.

He bowed to Tang Yin and Cheng Jin and said, "Since you two are just passing by here, I am really sorry to bother you!" After saying that, he pulled the two companions beside him and stepped aside to let Tang Yin and Cheng Jin pass.

The other party had retreated, and Cheng Jin did not want to stay in the troubled place for long, so he urged the horse to pass. At this time, Tang Yin, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly asked: "Excuse me, what treasures are there in your mansion that make you so alert?"

The faces of the three middle-aged men changed at the same time, and the one on the left scolded: "It has nothing to do with you, don't ask too much!"

The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes spoke in a much calmer tone. He said lightly: "Friends, if you two really don't know about this, it's better not to ask about it. Besides, Ningyang is now a place of trouble. If you two are really passing by, you should leave quickly."

The other party was unwilling to say, and Tang Yin did not force it. He shrugged, clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Thank you for your advice, goodbye." After that, he did not delay any more and urged the horse to leave.

Business in Ningyang City is very bad now, but the restaurants and teahouses near this mansion are very prosperous, even crowded. What surprised Tang Yin and Cheng Jin was that there were basically no ordinary people in the diners in the taverns and teahouses. They were all spiritual practitioners, speaking with very mixed accents, from all over the world. Judging from their dress, they were probably rangers.

There were a large number of spiritual practitioners gathered in the mansion, and there were even more spiritual practitioners gathered outside the mansion. What kind of treasure would attract so many people?

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin were extremely curious.

The two wanted to find out some news in the restaurant, but they regretted it as soon as they entered the restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant was solemn and depressing, as if there was a huge rock hanging above their heads, pressing people to breathe.

In the restaurant, which was almost full, no one was laughing or talking, and there was not even the sound of drinking. The huge space gave people only one feeling, quiet, dead quiet.

Eating in such a lifeless place, Tang Yin was afraid of having a stomachache. After the food came, he asked the waiter to pack it up, and then he and Cheng Jin left the restaurant with the packed food and wine, and went to find an inn to rest.

After finding an inn at random, Tang Yin deliberately chose a room facing the street. After the waiter left, he took out a small wooden sign from his bag, opened the window, and hung it on the window sill.

To ordinary people, this small wooden sign is very ordinary and nothing special, but if the people of the Sky Eye and the Ground Network see it, they will naturally come to the door.

Tang Yin couldn't get any wind from normal channels, so he could only ask the Sky Eye and the Ground Network spies hidden in Ningyang.
