It was very busy with people coming and going, and cars and horses.

Fuping is a big city, with city walls that stretch for miles and miles as far as the eye can see. Flags are displayed on the city, and there are soldiers on guard with guns.

Along the way from Shayuan Prison, we met a lot of people in the city. At most, there were a few soldiers on duty in front of the city gate, but they were absentmindedly attending to their errands. Like Fuping County, it looked like it was facing a formidable enemy, and the soldiers were fully armed.

I have never seen a city wall before.

Looking at the city gate again, I realized that it was also heavily guarded. Anyone entering or exiting the city would be subject to interrogation and even body search.

"What happened in the city? Why is the investigation so strict?" Qin Zhong called the stall owner and pointed to the city gate and asked.

"A big shot has come to the city. Not only are they subject to interrogation, they are also subject to a curfew at night," the stall owner said in a low voice.

"Big shot?" Qin Chong smacked his lips, disapprovingly. A big shot died in Jinsu Mountain, and here is another big shot.

What do these big shots want to do? How much benefit is there in gathering together and running to the northwest, even risking death? Qin Chong doesn't believe that these big shots who are pampered and have nothing to do will come to the northwest to blow the wind. There must be something big.

, but I just don’t know.

"I heard that he is the eldest son of some prince, and he is so big that he has no edges." The stall owner said mysteriously.

Qin Chong was stunned when he heard that, the prince? How could such a noble man condescend to come to such a remote place? Suddenly something moved in his heart. When he was at Jinsu Mountain, the innkeeper also said that a great steward of the prince's palace died there.

Jinsu Mountain. Are these two related?

After pondering for a moment, Qin Zhong leaned into Lang Zongyu's ear and whispered, "We can't enter the city, we have to go around the city."

The prince's son is in the city, so it's no wonder that the local officials feel like they are facing a formidable enemy. The city gate is like this, and it is uncertain how to strictly check inside the city. Even if you enter the city, you will be stopped and questioned at every step. The two men and four horses are carrying weapons, so naturally

It arouses suspicion.

If you don't go around the city, you will save yourself a lot of trouble. After all, it's not a big deal if you go into the city, so you don't have to cause trouble.

"Yeah." Lang Zongyu nodded dullly. He didn't want to go into the city at all. He was afraid of meeting the Zhang family, so he couldn't help but take action.

Qin Chong, on the other hand, was a little disappointed. He originally thought that he would go to the city to find a blacksmith shop and modify his hammer. At this time, he was getting closer and closer to Yanzhou, and it was inevitable that he would encounter the enemy, but his iron hammer

The gun was lost, and now I don't even have a weapon at my disposal.

"Where is the blacksmith shop here?" I thought to myself and couldn't help but ask.

"Blacksmith shop? There is only one in the city, but not outside the city." The stall owner was busy answering Qin Chong's question.

"Have you forgotten the boss? There is a blacksmith in Shangyang Village." Suddenly, the stall owner's aunt interjected.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." The stall owner slapped his head and said repeatedly, "Shangyang Village has it, Shangyang Village has it."

"How to get to Shangyang Village?" Qin Chong was overjoyed and asked quickly.

"It's not far. Go west from here. It's more than three miles and you'll reach Shangyang Village after crossing the river."

"Thank you, thank you so much." Qin Zhong thanked him, grabbed a handful of copper coins from his arms, counted them all and placed them on the table.

When he found out where the blacksmith was, Qin Zhong stood up and left without further delay. Lang Zongyu was busy eating. When he saw Qin Zhong leaving, he hurriedly grabbed the remaining buns and stuffed them into his arms. He was still biting the buns and could not speak clearly.

He shouted, "Wait for me."

The two men got on their horses, shouted and headed west. The four horses galloped, raising a large cloud of smoke and dust, and rumbled away.

Watching the two people leave, in another stall not far away, a middle-aged man stood up, looking thoughtful. The middle-aged man was in his forties, wearing a green robe and was elegant. Until Qin Chong and the two disappeared.

, the middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and slowly walked towards a carriage on the roadside.

"Enter the city immediately." The middle-aged man ordered and got into the carriage neatly.
