Chapter 653 Xuanying Secretly Enters Baijun City
After bidding farewell to the Golden Sword and the Black Sword, Xuanying immediately left the city with his four attendants and headed westward towards Jiangkou.
When leaving the west gate of Jinyang City, the gatekeeper Tongwei greeted Xuanying warmly and asked him where he was going.
Xuan Ying glared at the copper officer and said expressionlessly: "It's best not to ask about things that have nothing to do with you!"
The copper officer was shocked and quickly shut up, thinking that General Xuan's temper was like deep ice dug out from the abyss of the ground, so cold that it could freeze blood, why would I provoke him for no reason? But he still smiled and watched Xuan Ying and the other five people rush out of the east gate, and did not dare to curse at him behind his back. General Xuan had a "heavenly view", and he might be able to detect what he said behind his back.
Among the seven major cities of Cangmu Kingdom, Baijun City is the farthest from Jinyang City, a full four or five thousand miles away, and there is no direct official road.
There are two routes to Baijun City. The more convenient one is to go south to Bicheng first, and then turn west to Baijun City. However, Bicheng has been occupied by the Red Army, and Jieyun Pass has also been broken, so this route can no longer be taken.
Another way is to go west to Sanfanyi, Waningyi and other cities, then turn south after reaching Jiangkouyi, and you will reach Baijun City after about 2,500 miles.
The journey was extremely long, and it would be difficult to reach the destination within half a month. However, Xuanying and his attendants rode on fine horses, and although they could not travel a thousand miles a day, they could still travel six or seven hundred miles. Including the time for resting the horses, they could reach Baijun City in eleven or twelve days at most.
A few months ago, he led more than 20 people to Yinlingyi to kill people, and it only took a month to go back and forth. This time, they walked faster, so it would naturally take less time.
After arriving at Jiangkou, Xuanying ordered four attendants to find out the whereabouts of the Mingyuan Ding separately and reunite half a month later. The four of them left as ordered, while he himself headed straight to Baijun City in the south.
The four attendants have been with him for more than a year, but he did not dare to take them to Baijun City because he did not know whether these four people were from Jin Dao Hei Jian or Jin Li'er.
Even though they were not members of the Golden Blade and Black Sword or Jin Lier, the "Evil-killing Spear" was a world-famous spiritual weapon, and Xuan Ying did not want too many people to know about it.
He could travel much faster on horseback alone, and it took him only half a day to reach Yifeng Pass, the northern gate of Baijun City. After resting for two hours, he continued to travel south along the official road, and arrived at Tongshanyi three days later. After crossing the Mianshui River, he headed west and arrived at Baijun City in a day and a half.
Baijun City is located in the southwest of Cangmu Country. Like Xihai City, its west side is also close to the vast West Sea. Among the seven major cities in Cangmu Country, the city is closest to Chisha Country, but its southernmost end is a cliff pass. The pass is just a three or four foot wide rock gap. No matter how powerful the spiritual king of Chisha Country is, he cannot break through it.
After the Red Army broke through Jieyun Pass, many people in Jinyang City began to panic. Some people even headed west or north with their families under the pretext of visiting relatives or doing business, just to avoid possible war.
The Case Hall did not notice this at all, or perhaps it discovered it but did not take any action to control it. Later, Jin Li'er reminded them that the people might be fleeing, and then they hurriedly cooperated with the Golden Sword Sect to control it and no longer allowed the people to flee with their families.
Although Baijun City is the closest to Chisha Country, it is the most stable.
Xuanying rode into the east gate of Baijun City. The soldiers guarding the gate did not come forward to question him. But seeing the people talking and laughing happily, traveling as usual, he suddenly remembered the days in Lixuan Island. At that time, he was also so relaxed and free. Unfortunately, all this could not go back.
After finding out the location of General Mu Longguang's mansion, Xuanying rode his horse quickly over there.
He had been here once more than half a year ago, and because he caused so much trouble, many people who came to this city must have remembered him.
But this time was completely different. He was acting in secret and could not make it public, so he bought a bamboo hat before entering the city. He pulled the brim of the hat very low after putting it on, and changed his exquisite black silk brocade clothes into black coarse linen.
If you don't look closely, no one would recognize that he was the general Xuanying of Jinyang City who led more than 20 people to harvest the heads of the Sha people all the way to Yixianya Pass, and then killed people in Yinling Town for three days.
Mu Longguang's general's mansion is on the southeast side of Baijun City. The location is not remote. Not far from the gate of the mansion is a very busy street with many vendors selling goods, and the hawking sounds are heard one after another. There are also many pedestrians, and the hustle and bustle made Xuanying's mount slow down.
People on the streets were walking, and only Xuanying rode a tall horse, which made him very eye-catching. If people knew that he, a general from Jinyang City, had come to Baijun City, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
He had no choice but to jump off the horse and walk obediently, leading the horse.
Suddenly, a clear, sharp female voice asked, "My friend, how much do you want for this gun?"
Another somewhat gruff voice said, "I don't sell this gun."
The voice sounded familiar, and Xuanying couldn't help but slow down his pace.
Another person shouted, "Is there anything in this world that won't sell? If you don't sell it, it's because the price is not right! Am I right?!" This person was obviously speaking in support of the first person.
The rough voice still said: "No matter how much you offer, I won't sell it."
Xuanying pulled the horse and gradually approached the arguing people. He was tall and had long legs. Looking through the crowd, he saw five people talking to two others.
The two people surrounded were a man and a woman. The man held a long spear as black as ink. Both of them had their backs to Xuanying, so their faces could not be seen. The spear in the man's hand was very strange in style, different from the spears and lances in the seven cities of Cangmu Country. It looked like an ancient artifact that was quite old.
The leader of the five was a man wearing luxurious white clothes and with a pale face. He looked superior and said he was the best in the world. He squinted at the man with the gun and shouted, "Ten golds..." His voice was sharp. It turned out that the "female voice" was him.
Xuan Ying frowned slightly, thinking that this person was not much different from Xuan Youzhu, and looked very disgusting.
The gunman shook his head and said, "I won't sell it."
The more Xuanying listened, the more familiar the voice sounded, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
The white-faced man then shouted: "Fifteen golds..."
The gunman still shook his head. The woman next to him said, "I said I won't sell it, so I won't sell it. Do you think you're so great just because you have a few bucks?!"
