Compared with the huge West City, the layout of the East City is a bit hasty.

Not only are the houses crowded and the alleys narrow, but the streets are full of garbage and no one can clean them up. The densely controlled "blood transformation array" mainly impacted Dongcheng, causing great casualties here. Although the government has been cleaning up, blood can still be seen everywhere on the streets. Walking on the streets, every household can wail.

According to Zhang Shijie's intention, he should go straight to the teahouse after getting off the dragon boat. But Yan Jie had to go around in a circle and go to Dongcheng to investigate, which made him very disappointed.

You know, drinking tea is the most important thing. The four of them walked around Dongcheng and listened to the crying and cursing of the people in the city. Who is in the mood to drink tea again? Zhang Shijie complained in his heart while walking, feeling that Yan Jie's move was really unelegant.

At this time, Yan Jie was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Shijie's thoughts. He walked on the street and kept flashing a thought in his mind-

"If I were the one in Shenmi's position, would I make such a choice? Can I bear the suffering of the people in this city? If I can't bear it, can I only die with the people of the whole city as Chenmi said, and be a coward who seeks fame and reputation, but actually harms others and oneself?"

The more Yan Jie thought about it, the less answer he had in his heart. This is a simple multiple-choice question, with only two answers to choose from. But every choice will cause the person who does the questions to bear great pain, and this pain may even follow his life, like a shadow, and will never be erased.

Yan Jie thought again: I had insisted on defending Linshan City to the end. If it were to look at it from the deep standards, would it be right or wrong? When the Zhang family took the lead in rebelling and wanted to use the teleportation array in the city to escape. Although their behavior was not ashamed, who could say it was wrong? If Linshan City must fall and stay in the city and wait for death, which one is more worth choosing? If he was in Zhang Xian's position, would he make the same choice as him?

"Yan Jie, are you okay? Why are you so pale? Did you damage your vitality during the battle formation just now?" Li Ting and Yan Jie walked side by side, and Yan Jie's face became increasingly ugly, as if he had suffered a serious illness, and he couldn't help but come out to ask.

"I have nothing, I just haven't figured out some problems..." Yan Jie sighed, still thinking in his heart that if he was in someone else's position, he would make the same choice as others. Then what is the difference between himself and these people?

"Since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore! There are tall people holding us back when the sky falls. We are just qi-refining cultivators, so what's there to worry about! If the Demon Lord really breaks the city, our lives may not be able to be preserved by then. How can we have time to worry about these mortals?" Zhang Shijie turned around and glared at Yan Jie, and couldn't help but say.

Yan Jie sighed: Zhang Shijie said this well. Now he is just a Qi-refining cultivator, and his life may not be able to be kept. Even if he is worried, what is the use? Now he is not only at the bottom of his cultivation in Chuyue City, but his status cannot be compared with Linshan City. Chen Mi is not worried, and no matter how much he thinks, it is useless!

Yan Jie suppressed the heavy thought in his heart, looked up and said to Zhang Shijie, "Shijie, you are right, I am too concerned! I feel very sorry for you to accompany me to this chaotic street. I will treat you to this chaotic street today!"

"Haha, you kid finally got back to the taste!" Zhang Shijie laughed twice and said, "Okay, you kid don't have to be polite... I promised that I would invite you, that's me! Come here, just treat it as a relaxation!"

Relax? Who would be in the mood to come here to relax! Only this idiot can say such words...

Liu Yutong curled her lips, but did not speak.

Under the leadership of Zhang Shijie, the four of them took a river on the central axis of the ferry and arrived at the west city of Chuyue City.

After entering the West City, the four of them felt that the surrounding environment was in sharp contrast with the East City.

The streets of Xicheng are extremely lively. Not only are the major shops open normally, but there are also constant pedestrians on the road. Everyone's condition is no different from usual. It seems that the war that happened before was just a dream. The people of Xicheng were not affected by this war at all.

Yan Jie was shocked to see it. The method of dealing with the war was very different from the method Yan Jie took when he was in Linshan City.

At the beginning, Yan Jie directly ordered the city to enter a state of war, shops closed, pedestrians were not allowed to walk around at will, and everyone must obey the arrangement.

Chenmi adopted the method of tightening the outside and loosening the inside, actively preparing for war from the outside, but did not take any measures at all. Some people in the city did not even know that there was a fierce battle outside the city.

Yan Jie was shocked when he saw this scene. He looked at Li Ting in confusion and asked, "Now Chu Yuecheng has been surrounded by the Demon Lord, so he can't even fly out. Why can these shops still open normally? Where do their products come from?"

"Of course it comes from the treasury," Li Ting smiled and said, "The day after Chu Yue City was surrounded, Senior Chen Mi issued an order, requiring the treasury to supplement goods for major shops at market prices, ensure that all transactions in the city are carried out normally, and at the same time, it also strictly cracked down on merchants and families who stored materials. Because of this, the order in the city has been maintained. Otherwise, it would have been a long time ago..."

Yan Jie really doesn't understand the deep thoughts now.

Judging from Shenmi’s arrangement of city defense, it is clear that he has already made preparations for a long-term battle. However, the national stock of materials has been open for supply. How long can he last? The two policies are clearly contradictory to the outside world. What exactly does he want to do?

Yan Jie couldn't help asking, "What does he mean when he does this?"

Li Ting shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't understand very much. Senior Chen Mi said the orders he issued were the only ones that others could only execute, and no one could raise doubts. In fact, so far, Senior Chen Mi's instructions have never been missed..."

Yan Jie felt stranger and could not understand the reason why Chen Mi did this.

Just as Yan Jie frowned and thought hard, Zhang Shijie suddenly stopped, pointed to an inconspicuous restaurant next to the street, and said, "Look, this is the teahouse I mentioned!"

Liu Yutong couldn't help but scold, "Hey, Zhang Shijie, you are not sick! This is obviously a restaurant, but what kind of teahouse is it? Are you blind? "
