Chapter 161: Winter Night in Tucheng

He stepped onto the ground of Zuma Forest again, and now his equipment has been completely renewed. He Ming, who has become stronger, did not feel much relaxed. The runes related to chaos are more involved than imagined and must not be used easily. He still doesn't know where to start what he wants to do.

Fortunately, no matter what he did, he had to look for his next goal, so after he had a full dress, he headed straight for Tucheng.

He tied his cloak with the armor of the God of War and tied up his originally messy hair. He Ming looked like he had another image. He thought that one day he could change his status as a human being, but he could not use the name He Ming until now.

When he arrived at the gate of Tucheng, his movements and expressions were so normal that he was even a little artificial. He walked past the city wall with his wanted order, so he did not attract anyone's attention at all.

However, being involved in Tucheng was only the first step. He didn't know where the map brought back by Ru Yueying and Zhang Blacksmith's text translation were stored. Although he had been living in Tucheng for a long time, he mainly set foot in civilian areas and commercial areas. The residences of those big families who held power and power were completely forbidden zones for ordinary people.

He had been to the noble area once from beginning to end, which was a long time ago. He went to the stone tomb with Ye Zilan and the others. He knew the environment there based on his memory, but the only building he had actually walked into was the tavern that received them.

Of course he could not get in again as that identity, and the chats of ordinary people and rumors of homeless people would definitely not get any valuable news about the nobles - they could not get in at all.

He Ming wandered aimlessly in the Tucheng civilian and commercial areas for a short time. When he felt helpless, the sky became dark. Because he left Tucheng and rushed to the desert before, he spent too much money on him and spent two more gold coins in the black store. Now there are only a few silver coins left. The ancient Bich gold coins are not suitable for use here.

When he found that it was dark and he had to consider accommodation issues, he went to several undesirable hotels and found that all the cheap rooms were rented out. For those rooms with better environments, he didn't even have enough money to live in, so he had no place to live.

He had lived in Tucheng for a long time before but hadn't encountered such a shortage of rooms. However, when he thought about it, in Tucheng, where there was a lack of vegetation, the temperature difference between day and night in Tucheng at the end of the cold winter is so large that it was unimaginable that sandstorms could occur at night, and even the most down-and-out homeless man would find an indoor escape.

He Ming missed the best time to find a place to shelter from the wind and sand, so he bought some dry food and wrapped it up. He realized that tonight he would spend the extremely difficult winter night in Tucheng together with those homeless people who had no guarantee of their lives.

Although the Mengzhong Tucheng, built with stone tombs as the foundation, always brings enough survival materials every year and the people of Mengzhong are also strong and simple, over time, there is still a huge gap between people.

The original intention of the city construction plan is to protect the weaker people and other directions of the Tucheng south and other directions in the south and other directions of the Tucheng.

However, under the influence of the strong folk customs, the entire city gradually became polarized. The parts that originally needed protection and support could obtain less resources, and the strong people took most of the supplies, turning Tucheng into the current aristocratic areas, commercial areas and civilian areas.

Moreover, most planting, animal husbandry and hunting have to accompany the irregular rainy season, which leads to the inability to produce these production every year for a period of time. Therefore, during the long dry season, a large number of idle people will appear - except managers, merchants and guards, and many people can only do nothing at this time.

It is conceivable that under the customs of the time, these idle people would not sit still and let the city be safe. The nobles and men in the north of the city were not interested in controlling these civilians at all. Therefore, civilian areas in the dry season were also synonymous with danger.

Therefore, the situation is that the nobles who occupy a large amount of resources have arranged a large number of public security guards in the north of the city. They are not only responsible for public security in the aristocratic area, but also have a very important task, which is to prevent the civilians from infiltrating in. They believe that civilians will definitely make trouble whenever they have the opportunity.

In the commercial areas and craftsmen's areas at the east and west ends, only some elite guards were arranged to maintain public order. Aristocrats and civilians would appear here. As long as there was no big trouble, they would not interfere too much.

The civilian areas in the south of the city will have all kinds of unpleasant events at any time during the dry season, but they are isolated by the guards, which will not affect the nobles and the tough folk customs will not destroy the stability of the entire city because of these struggles. Instead, they think that these are adjustments to life, so there will be no guards who will run to the civilian areas without any trouble.

It was on this cold night that He Ming wandered alone on the streets of civilian areas.

It’s not a blessing or a misfortune. There is no legendary danger or turmoil at all on this night: even the most fighting madman would not be able to rob the bad weather of the terrible sandstorm at any time. Even the robbers have no goal at such a night. Do you still want to rob the sandstorm?

He Ming shivered when the sword-like wind blew on his face. He looked at the empty streets and suddenly had a plan in his mind. He walked around the stone tomb in the north and headed to the commercial area.

The whole city was surprisingly quiet. Even the homeless people who were so poor that they could not afford to live in the cheapest hotels all found some places that were not airtight on all sides to curl up to fight the cold. When he arrived at the commercial area, He Ming found that most of the guard posts here were left without people.

At this time, there is really no need to maintain public order. When the situation is serious, the gangsters who dare to come out to make trouble at night may not have any effect.

This means that the difficulty of getting into the noble area from here was reduced by at least half! He Ming, who was excited, stepped towards the noble area step by step with the sharp north wind.

When he was getting closer and closer to the noble area, he suddenly found a figure. When he got closer, he saw a guard of the noble area. He was holding a big knife and wearing a strong suit, clamoring in the cold wind. His upright figure was not moved by the north wind at all, and he was majestic.

His wishful thinking was dashed. In this kind of ghost weather, the guards of the noble district were still dedicated to their work and would never give He Ming a chance to easily get in.

So when you get here, you can't walk around so casually. People who are still wandering around will definitely attract the attention of the guards. As long as you check carefully, your identity will be revealed immediately.

So He Ming carefully bypassed the guard's sight and touched the aristocratic area by taking advantage of the strong wind and darkness. Whether it is the commercial area or the craftsman area, he had to pass through a narrow street to enter the aristocratic area, which was actually to isolate the aristocratic area and the civilians.

When He Ming touched the street, he found that even on such nights, the street was still brightly illuminated by lights. From here, a guard would patrol a dozen meters.

In such a harsh environment, these guards who still stick to their posts and protect the Tucheng are really awesome, but they are annoying to He Ming himself. With his skills, climbing over the wall and entering the hospital may not disturb these people from sneaking in, but it is meaningless to slip in if you are not sure where you are looking for.

Those things have a great influence. These nobles will most likely send special people to guard them. They can sneak in when they are not noticed, but they will never be able to take away things that are guarded silently. And once they find the wrong place, they will inevitably alert the nobles and make things more difficult to succeed.

Besides, my identity is already embarrassing enough. If even my new image is noticed, I will not be able to enter Tucheng, let alone the aristocratic area?

After careful thinking, He Ming retreated back to the center of the commercial area and curled up in a corner and closed his eyes in an alley where several buildings intersect.

Even if the wind does not blow here often, the almost fatal low temperature is still unbearable. Every morning, some homeless people will no longer appear. In this environment, people who catch a cold and look down on the doctor will have the same consequences.

Fortunately, he has habitually maintained the breathing method taught by Zhang Blacksmith. He Ming sucked in the cold air, sank into the dantian and then moved his whole body. The environment is now harsh and there is nothing to do for the time being. He can just explore what he felt when he was blowing, but he had no time to think about it.

As the breath continued, the heat was kept in the cold cold world like ice. As the heat flow continued, it began to wander around the body, as if it could be transferred with consciousness, but it was still irresponsible. It gradually helped him resist the severe cold here and made his energy more vigorous.

It was not until he heard the verge of the commercial area that he immediately walked out of this state of wandering. I wonder if it was considered to be asleep last night. Now he feels energetic, which is as comfortable as a sleep, and his body has never been frostbite by the cold dripping of water.

After patting his body and standing up, He Ming's mind began to turn away again. There must be an inconspicuous way to get into the noble area, find ways to determine where those things are hidden, and successfully get the things he is looking for at once without revealing his identity.
