Bai Murong and Da Yang and his men left the city in the north, and then headed towards Daliang Imperial City. Because of the war, the population of the cities in the north was withered.

Some villages are empty, and the mountains can be said to be extremely desolate, with no living creatures, let alone people.

I don’t know if the animals also have feelings, and know that they are uneasy outside, so they all left here and hid in the deeper mountains farther away.

I went all the way to the Imperial City. It was not easy to get into the Imperial City, but who thought that when I got to the vicinity of the Imperial City, I realized that there were imperial guards inside and outside the city, so it was impossible to get into it.

After wandering around the outside of the imperial city for two days, because the temperature was low and the snow was falling, Bai Murong finally felt hopeless to get in, so she gave up.

As the New Year approaches, I still remember the situation last year. The imperial city is still decorated with lights and colors. In just one year, it has become this way.

The people who were in contact, but their expressions and behaviors were not optimistic, and it seemed that something serious was happening to the family.

The world is difficult, so it is not uncommon for them to do so. Bai Murong and Da Yang and others wandered around the official road for a long time, and finally decided to go south.

It is actually not safe to go south, especially when it is close to Yu Wenjie's territory, the Shenfu Army and Yu Wenjie's troops are in a highly tense state of surveillance. It is difficult to walk here, and even more difficult to walk there.

As a few people moved south, the temperature and climate gradually improved. As a few people threw away their torn cotton jackets, cotton pants and cotton hats, pretending to be refugees going south, and following the refugees.

I went south with these refugees and had more in-depth contact with them. Through understanding, I felt more and more pitiful and could see the evil of human nature during such difficult and helpless times.

Most of these refugees are elderly, weak, women and children, while most of the young and strong laborers in their families left when they first fled their hometown.

They should have run to the south long ago, and perhaps they have found a place to live there, and even found a job to make a living.

To live by yourself, you can abandon your family and children. This is human nature.

The abandoned elderly, weak, women and children are pitiful and all yearn for living, but it is not easy to survive in this world.

Bai Murong planned to take them away from Daliang. If she wanted to go to Yu Wenjie's territory, she would also help. If she didn't want to go, she could also arrange a place for them in Yinan.

With this group of refugees, he gradually approached the area patrolled by the Shenfu Army. Bai Murong decided to play a striker with Da Yang as a target, and then asked the other two to lead the group of refugees of fifty or sixty to cross the defense line behind.

It was dark and the event was going on. Bai Murong and Da Yang cooperated tacitly, and they really met a group of patrol personnel. The two of them deliberately made a sound to lure them away, and the refugee team behind them successfully passed through the defense line.

The lungs running in the mountains were about to be vomited out. Bai Murong and Da Yang deliberately circled around the mountains. In the end, the time was almost over, and she and Da Yang left the territory of the Shenfu Army and rushed towards Yu Wenjie's defense line like crazy.

The patrol team behind them was chasing, but when they reached the limit, they stopped automatically. The Shenfu Army could fight against the Xuanjia Army every few days, but they were very cautious with Yu Wenjie and did not seem to want to take the initiative to cause war.

After entering Yu Wenjie's territory, he almost met a team of patrol personnel. Bai Murong and Da Yang hid in the valley and did not dare to breathe. His heart beat faster and the two were almost suffocated to death.

After they passed, Bai Murong turned around and collapsed on the ground, lying there, both legs were cramping.

This job is really not done by humans. However, I still don’t think they can live if they reach Yu Wenjie’s territory. Too many refugees poured in. Even if they were begging for food, how could there be so much leftovers for them? It’s not that there are rich people everywhere. Sighing, Bai Murong felt that this was not a solution.

Daliang has a vast territory. Although it is divided into three parts, Yuwen Teng has the largest territory.

Especially the few cities near the border line of the Shenfu Army have excellent fertile land. Every year, this place is a large grain production area in Daliang, and this year, a lot of losses have been lost due to war.

As he walked over, Bai Murong saw it. It was a fertile land bordering the waters outside Yinan and Yu Wenjie's city.

What can we do if they think this way? We have done this and have done our best. Da Yang felt that there was no way, so they felt that Yu Wenjie's territory was better, peaceful and harmonious. These are all appearances. War is imminent, and there is no peace anywhere.

Bai Murong stared at the night sky with bright moonlight, and an idea gradually formed.

Let’s go to Dafeng City in Daliang to take a look. It forms a triangle with the territory of our Yinan and Yu Wenjie, and each borders. Although if we measure it, our Yinan may be closer to Dafeng City, there are waterways in the middle, and the Shenfu Army is not as many troops there. Bai Murong calculated that this was the opportunity.

Da Yang nodded, let's go. It's a bit tired when you travel through the mountains, and you have to hide from the patrol team all the time, like a prey hunted by hunters.

Let's get up, and the two of them took advantage of the night to move forward in the mountains again. The speed was not as fast as they were just now, and as they walked, their calves were trembling.

During this period, I didn’t eat in time, and I was hungry and full, and I had a lot of activities every day. Bai Murong felt that I had lost more than half of my weight.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, I passed through several lines of defense and entered the territory of Dafeng City at dawn.

There are so many fields in Dafeng City, and it is surrounded by distant mountains, and there are basically fields.

The temperature here is not low, and it will be very cool in the morning and evening this season, and the temperature during the day is still very suitable.

It is this kind of weather. According to the seasons, seeds should have been planted in the farmland. But there is nothing this year. Whether it is farmers or nobles, they all pray to accumulate a lot. Otherwise, next year will be a famine year.

Towards the south of Dafeng City, surrounded by waterways, opposite the waterways, that is the boundary of Yinan.

This big Fengcheng is very big, not the big one of the imperial city, but the big one of the sparse.

After Bai Murong and Da Yang got into the city, they found a reliable restaurant to fill their stomachs. The money they had used was almost the same.

There are quite a few people in this city, not as if they were empty cities in the north. However, the people in this city were also uneasy and trembling. They could hear the shopkeeper telling the waiter that there were troops searching in the city, and they didn't know what they were searching, which made people panic.

Bai Murong listened with his ears, but he also felt that this was strange. Could it be that someone in the city has come in, so the army is so cautious.

Later, the waiter said that when he was back home a few nights ago, he encountered a convoy entering the city. The team was the longest I had seen in the past six months. And there were also military personnel escorting them all the way to the Gu family manor on the outskirts of the city.

Gu family? Bai Murong had never heard of it, so he tilted his body and continued to stick his ears to listen.

But the shopkeeper knew that it was the Gu family and immediately sighed.

It turns out that the Gu family is also a businessman, who mines copper and iron, and the taxes paid to the court every year are a big deal.

The minerals in Daliang do not belong to the official family, but can be private. The official family only collects taxes, and the taxes are huge. There are many mines in the entire Daliang, but if you say that the biggest one is the Gu family.

The current owner of the Gu family is a woman, a woman in her forties, and there is a lot of gossip.

The shopkeeper talked to the waiter for a few words to gossip about other people's romantic affairs, saying that they have many male favorites and that they can compete for the management of the Gu family, so they also climbed up by sleeping all the way.

This kind of words cannot be believed. The contempt and sour taste of lower-class male losers towards successful women cannot do such a big business or climb this level. They can achieve a psychological balance by choreographing other people's style and other ways. So whoever believes this kind of words is stupid.

After eating, we left and went to the Gu family's manor to experience it. Bai Murong didn't stay in Daliang for too long and was limited to the more famous people of this era. Now she heard about the Gu family who was mining, and she was really curious.

The two left, and then walked through the city like two gangsters. The city was big, and the buildings were sparse and not tight. When they walked towards the suburbs, it was almost evening before the two arrived.

The Gu family manor in this suburb is really big, but it is not particularly high-end. It is not as luxurious as the large houses of some ordinary businessmen in the imperial city, which means it covers a wider area.

Bai Murong and Da Yang observed the outside one after another, and finally gathered at the back mountain of the manor, and exchanged information on their own. There were no people on the outside, nor did they see the shadow of the army. There were people inside, some places were holding lights, but some places were dark. So rich, it was not enough to spend money on this little bit of money, and I don’t know what the hell was doing inside.

After thinking about it, Bai Murong felt that since the army escorted them into the city, it means that the Gu family is now tied to the same line as Yuwen Teng, and they are in the same group.

Then, it is the opponent, although there is no very intuitive conflict of interest.

After thinking about it, she decided to wait all night to see if there was anything wrong with it.

Back near the main entrance, there was a miscellaneous tree, and they both went up the tree directly.

Hiding between the canopy of the tree effectively blocked their bodies and squatted here. Sure enough, after an hour, something happened.

A carriage and some riders stopped in front of the manor. Soon, a group of people came out of the manor. The outsider was inspected by the people inside and then went in with him.

This operation is obvious that outsiders are at a disadvantage because they want to see the people inside, so they are willing to undergo this kind of inspection.

Bai Murong and Da Yang stared at each other, calculating the time. It was about another hour, and the people who had just entered the manor came out.

They left and the manor returned to tranquility.

The two of them made a secret gesture, exchanged their own ideas, and then began to stare again.

Nearly midnight, another group of people came, with cars, horses and people. Just like the group of people, they all received inspections and entered the manor.

Da Yang hummed in a low voice. It seemed that the shopkeeper of the restaurant was right, and this woman from the Gu family was not ashamed.

What is your reason for this? Bai Murong is speechless, how did Da Yang calculate the result?

The man in the carriage that just entered was quite young, and he had a strong back and a bear-back. He stayed in for about an hour. Looking at the man who just entered, he was also wide-body. Miss, isn’t what the shopkeeper of the restaurant said true? Da Yang thinks that the people in this manor are recruiting prostitutes, of course, they are not prostitutes, but male lovers.

These men came from somewhere. Anyway, they were selling their bodies for money, so Da Yang despised them very much.

Bai Murong thought about it and said it was not unreasonable. Indeed, these two groups of men who came out of the carriage were both good-looking. She had been paying attention to who those people were, maybe they were talking about business with the Gu family, but she forgot another possibility, maybe they were really male prostitutes.

Bai Murong didn't believe in the rumors that there was no evidence, but if you imagined it according to Da Yang's argument, there was a certain probability.

About an hour later, the second group of people who entered came out again. They left smoothly without a single sound.

Bai Murong found a more comfortable position and asked Da Yang to look at it first, and she glanced at it for a while.

Too tired, Bai Murong fell asleep after closing her eyes.

Da Yang was guarding alone, his eyes as big as a cow, his face full of beards. Even if there were really mosquitoes, he would get lost in his lush beard jungle.

I don’t know how long it has passed, but Bai Murong only felt that someone was pushing him. When he opened his eyes, he saw Da Yang’s furry face. Miss, look.

He slightly supported his body, Bai Murong looked towards the gate of the manor, and another team came. There was still a simple carriage and several horses, and then they were inspected by the people in the manor.

She didn't know the two groups of people last time, and none of them looked familiar. But this time, she saw an acquaintance. In the dim light, a person was so white that he could not see it.

He is thin and upright, which is very different from the men in the two carriages he came before. After all, both men are with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

Miss, do you think that is the little prince? Da Yang feels that he admits his mistake.

Bai Murong nodded and shook her head again. The distance was still a bit far, but her body looked like a pale face. Last time I saw Yu Wenjie's substitute. At first glance, it looked very similar, but you could see the flaws at close range.

The distance is still a bit too far, so we can't tell whether this is Yu Wenjie. She doesn't want the embarrassing thing that happened last time again.

Seeing Bai Murong so calm, Da Yang couldn't help but be anxious. Although the Gu family has minerals, is quite rich, and has burned money in wars, Yu Wenjie would not be so degenerate.

If this is true, then he will really look down on him.
