Chapter 127: Inquiring for Information

Yunzhou, Luoyun City.

As the state capital that suffered the most from the war, after four years, the city was rebuilt and order was restored.

However, there were many more faces of grassland people on the streets, walking on the road in a domineering manner, looking superior.

People were divided into different classes, and this trend was inevitable since Tuwahar ascended the throne.

Those from various tribes in the grassland had a very high status, and the people who once belonged to Fengguo had to take a detour when they saw them.

"It's my honor that you like to eat this osmanthus cake, uncle, you don't have to pay." A vendor selling osmanthus cake was showing a forced smile.

"Hahahaha, you Fengguo people are still good people, I like it!"

The one who ate free food was naturally from a certain grassland tribe. His mouth was full of cakes, and his speech was a little unclear.

As he said, he took a few pieces of white, tender and sweet osmanthus cakes, and then turned and left.

At this time, a tall young man came over and accidentally bumped into the grassland man.

"Damn, don't you have eyes? You damn Maple countryman, look at me."

The man from the grassland stopped talking halfway.

In front of him, the Maple countryman who bumped into him was holding a huge deer horn in his left hand and carrying a huge hammer behind him.

This outfit shows that he is a martial artist.

"Humph, another martial artist." The grassland man who ate for free snorted coldly, and remembered this ordinary-looking Maple countryman in his heart, intending to go back and look through the recent wanted posters to see if there was a portrait of the other party.

The man holding the huge deer horns was Li Qing. He didn't know how many times he had seen the grassland people bullying the former Maple countryman along the way.

It's a pity that he only had the strength of one person and couldn't manage it even if he wanted to.

"Shopkeeper, pack two osmanthus cakes for me."

Li Qing held the deer horn in one hand, and in the other hand, he didn't know when he had a purse filled with silver, which was embroidered with the totem pattern of a grassland tribe.

"Okay, wait a moment, sir!"

Not long after, two osmanthus cakes were packed up, and the shopkeeper handed them to Li Qing with a sincere smile on his face:

"Two osmanthus cakes, a total of five copper coins for you. Hey, five copper coins are enough for the guest, why do you give so much silver."

Li Qing took the osmanthus cake, then waved his hand and said, "The extra money will be considered as the payment of the man just now."

Leaving this sentence, Li Qing ate the osmanthus cake while walking around the city.

The newly established Wu Dynasty was not very good in all aspects. The people living here could only be said to be barely able to survive, and they were definitely not living well. This can be seen from what happened just now.

After staying in the mountains for more than four years, Li Qing decided to find a place to ask for more information in order to learn more.

Soon, Li Qing came to a shop selling medicinal materials at the end of the street.

"Shopkeeper, do you want to buy this? It's the antler of a male deer!" Li Qing walked in with the antler.

Hearing the word antler, the shopkeeper of the medicine shop immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at the tall young man who walked in at the door.

Bang!

Li Qing put the antler on the counter of the shop and let the shopkeeper feel it.

"Hehe, sir, you are wrong. This is not velvet antler, it is just a pair of antlers."

"Velvet antlers are antlers that have just grown out and have not yet hardened. That thing has medicinal value, but antlers... I am afraid they are not worth much money!"

"But your antlers look quite spectacular, but some of them have been cut off for a long time. If you want to sell them, I am willing to pay three taels of silver to buy them back as decorations."

Hearing this, Li Qing's face suddenly darkened.

So this thing is just antlers and not velvet antlers? No wonder he always felt that it was different from the velvet antlers he had seen before when he cut them.

He was so excited that he brewed a jar of Sophora flavescens velvet antler wine. It seems that the word "velvet antler" should be removed, and it can only be called Hundred Years of Sophora flavescens wine.

"Is that so."

"Hahaha, brother, you should be a warrior, not a hunter. Generally, experienced old hunters will not make mistakes." The shopkeeper laughed.

Li Qing did not deny it. He nodded and said, "Well, four years ago, the bandits attacked me, so I fled to the deep mountains and forests for refuge. I have been gone for four years, and I don't know what the situation is like in Wu Dynasty now."

"How about this, shopkeeper, can you tell me about the big and small events that happened after the establishment of Wu Dynasty?"

As he said this, Li Qing took out a few coins and handed them directly to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw the silver, his eyes lit up. He immediately coughed and began to tell Li Qing about the big and small events that happened since the establishment of Wu Dynasty.

This talk took more than half an hour. The pharmacy shopkeeper turned into a storyteller and spoke eloquently.

"So, under the instigation of that dog official Gao Yudong, the court re-issued the warrior hunting order, but this time it only hunted down those warriors who violated the law with their weapons, and ignored those law-abiding people in the martial arts world."

"So those wanted posters with bounties you see on the streets are just like this."

"With a huge reward, these people in the martial arts world actually fought among themselves just to earn the bounty."

"This is fucking outrageous."

Hearing this, Li Qing rubbed his chin, and his eyes gradually became cold.

"However, I heard that the actions of these people in the underworld to assassinate Wu Dynasty officials seemed to be premeditated and organized."

"The Holy Lord suspects that this is inseparable from the Southern Dynasty. Recently, there are signs that he will use troops against the Southern Dynasty. According to rumors, the important cities near Xiaocuiling have stockpiled a lot of troops."

When saying this, the pharmacy shopkeeper deliberately lowered his voice for fear that it would be spread out.

"That's about it, sir. What else do you want to ask? Since the connection with Quanshan City of the Southern Dynasty was cut off, my pharmacy business has been difficult to do, but you really asked the right person about the news about this situation."

Looking at the shopkeeper's confident look, Li Qing shook his head, handed a few coins to the other party, and then left the pharmacy with the deer horn.

He didn't plan to sell the antlers. After all, they were the horns of the stag king that galloped through the mountains and forests. Even Fan Tong had spent three years to hunt them down. It was a pity to sell them for only a few taels of silver.

Besides, he wasn't short of money. He just used the antlers as an excuse to inquire about the news of the Wu Dynasty.

"I didn't expect that Commander Qian actually caught the man behind the scenes who embezzled the army's pay before moving south. It was a pity that he failed to catch him, and instead let the dog official get shelter in the Wu Dynasty."

Li Qing thought so in his heart. He had made a decision and was ready to go to the imperial capital of the Wu Dynasty.

It is said that there are still many martial artists lurking in Shengtian today, and many of them have quite high bounties.

Li Qing was a little curious. Who would have the highest bounty now? Would there be any familiar faces?

In this way, Li Qing bought a horse in Luoyun City, and then hid the antlers of the stag king in the polar night world.

The next day, he rode out of the city on horseback and headed for the imperial capital, where he had not been for a long time.
