I’m Really Not Wrong

  Chapter 21 Lieyang Palace and Jishimeng

   "Why out of town?"

   "Help the Lin family transport medicinal materials."

   "When will you return?"

   "Before it gets dark."

  …

  At the gate of the city, the two soldiers released Chen Che and Wang Zhen out of the city after careful questioning.

  After leaving the city, they walked about a mile, and the two came to a gazebo.

   This is the place where several members of Langyatang agreed to gather.

  At this moment, there were already two people sitting in the gazebo, namely Du Peng and Lu Hui, another Qi and blood martial artist from Langyatang, and they were chatting.

   Seeing Chen Che and Wang Zhen coming, Du Peng asked casually, "Did you also get interrogated when you left the city?"

   "Well, it wasn't like this before, what happened recently?"

  Wang Zhen found a place to sit down while answering.

  Du Peng replied with a snort: "I heard that many ordinary people in the outer city have been tricked out of the city by people recently, so the city guard has strengthened the control."

   "So it is."

  Wang Zhen nodded and said.

  Chen Che, who came with him, was paying attention to the weeds around the gazebo from the beginning to the end.

  After getting the illustrated book of medicinal materials a few days ago, he memorized all the external characteristics and efficacy of hundreds of medicinal materials in the illustrated book through a state of high pressure.

  Now that it is hard for him to go out of the city once, he must practice it.

   After a while, he really found a herb from the weeds beside the gazebo.

  Although it is not a rare medicinal material, it is worth some money.

  His actions quickly attracted the attention of Du Peng and Lu Hui.

  Just as Du Peng was about to inquire, Zhao Tong and another Qi and blood warrior from Langyatang also arrived.

  Seeing that everyone has arrived, Zhao Tong said directly: "Since everyone has arrived, let's go."

  Du Peng didn't ask.

  …

  The six of them hurried along the official road outside the city.

   On the way, Chen Che found some herbs.

  In terms of current prices, these herbal medicines can be sold for five renminbi, which made several other people in the same industry envious.

   Zhao Tong said curiously:

   "Brother Chen, do you know these medicinal materials?"

   "Let's understand a little bit, I take medicine all year round, so I know a little bit."

  Chen Che replied modestly.

   Zhao Tong laughed when he heard this.

   "That's a good relationship. The Lin family actually released a task of finding medicine recently, but I thought that no one in Langya Tang knew about medicine... Take the illustrated book and search slowly, and the efficiency is too low, so I didn't accept this task.

  But since Brother Chen understands pharmacology, we can take on this task.

  Of course, if you really accept this task, it must be mainly Chen’s younger brother, and we can just drink some soup. "

   "Haha, it is indeed a way to make money."

  Chen Che did not refuse.

   It is too expensive to buy medicine now, if he can organize a few people to look for it together, and then recover it from these people, he should be able to save a lot of money.

  …

   After walking another distance, seeing that Chen Che had found some herbs, the others also began to pretend to search for them.

  However, the good times didn't last long, and Du Peng suddenly exclaimed before looking for it for a long time!

   "I am stupid!"

  Hearing this exclamation, the others looked at him in unison.

"What's wrong?"

   Zhao Tong said in a wary tone.

   "It's nothing, it's two corpses, what a bad luck!"

  Du Peng shook his hand with disgust on his face.

   Several people heard the words and walked towards him.

  I saw two haggard corpses lying in the grass at his feet. It seemed that they should be a pair of mother and child, and the youngest son seemed to be seven or eight years old at most.

  Seeing the miserable appearance of these two corpses, Chen Che's pupils shrank slightly.

   Obviously, the two died after being sucked out of their energy by evil spirits.

   "It should be tricked out of the city by someone... Sigh, let's bury them when we finish the mission, it's considered good deeds."

   Zhao Tong suggested.

   The others have no opinion.

  As for gangsters, who hasn't done a few bad things?

  If you do too many bad things, you have to do good things occasionally to find some psychological comfort.

   And things like this are the most comforting, and they don’t cost money.

"Ugh…"

  Chen Che could not bear it.

  The Chen family was also an orphan and widow, so seeing the tragic death of the mother and son in this wilderness, he was particularly touched.

  At the same time, he is also very clear about why ordinary people are tricked out of the city...

   It's not because it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive in the city.

  The oppression of the government, the oppression of the gang, and evil...

  In this environment, it is a miracle that Stone Fire City can exist.

   "Actually, it wasn't like this before... In the past few years, the world has become more and more chaotic, and I don't know why."

   Zhao Tong sighed.

   As a middle-aged man, he has more experience than the others.

"I know this!"

  Du Peng suddenly interjected.

   "Oh? Why?"

  Everyone looked at him in unison.

  Du Peng looked around, then deliberately lowered his voice.

   "I heard this from a big man in the prison when I was in prison!"

  Everyone became more and more curious after hearing this.

  Du Peng said cautiously: "I heard from that big man that the reason why Great Xia became more and more chaotic must be traced back to ten years ago!

  In that year, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia was stalked by an extremely powerful evil spirit!

  In order to get rid of the evil spirit, he listened to the slander and decided to build a luxurious palace entirely made of Lieyang stone!

  Think about it, for a palace built of pure Sunstones, how many Sunstones do you need?

  And where do these Sunstones come from?

   Not yet recruited from the states!

  In a small city like Stone Fire City, the number of Lieyang Stones turned in is the most!

  With less Sunshine Stones, the evil spirits will naturally become more and more rampant. "

"I see!

   Dog Emperor! For the safety of one person, so many people died in Daxia! Damn it!

   And the villain who advised him!

  Damn it! "

  Wang Zhen cursed angrily.

  Hearing this, the people next to him were all frightened.

   "Speak carefully!"

   "Brother Wang, be careful! If this is heard by other people, it will be a serious crime of ransacking the family!"

  Hearing this, Wang Zhen also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he immediately shut up.

  Chen Che was relatively calm.

  He is very clear that the most indispensable thing in this troubled world is a faint ruler and courtiers.

   "Then his palace has been built yet?

   If it hasn't been built yet, then our Stone Fire City will be finished sooner or later? "

  Chen Che asked.

   "I don't know, it should be built.

   Actually, there is no need to worry too much. I heard that people from the Jishimeng will come to our Stone Fire City for a while. At that time, they should clean up the people around them.

  As long as the people around Stone Fire City are cleaned up, there will be no major problems in Stone Fire City for at least ten years. "

  Du Peng said.

   "Ji Shi Meng?"

  Chen Che looked puzzled, he had never heard of this force.

   Zhao Tong explained: "The Jishi League was established by a group of big thieves. A few years ago, Xiao gathered tens of thousands of people, saying that they wanted to overthrow the Great Xia on behalf of Tian Xingdao.

  The imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress it several times, but they all returned in defeat.

  But at the beginning of this year, Ji Shi Meng was suddenly recruited by the imperial court, and now he is in charge of purging the gangsters. "

   "Ji Shi Meng is really coming?

  I heard that Jishimeng has seventy-two celestial gangs, the weakest of which is no worse than the garrison general of our Stone Fire City! "

  When the Jishimeng was mentioned, the eyes of the others were filled with admiration.
