Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 390 Beiguan City

Outside Beiguan City.

Lin Ji followed the team entering the city, looking at the towering city wall not far away.

The city wall was even much higher than the city wall of the capital, and there were soldiers walking back and forth on it to check the surroundings, and they could vaguely see sharp arrows protruding from the arrow holes.

It's clear that there hasn't been a war yet, but Beiguan City is like facing a big enemy.

"At least 30 meters high, such a high city wall is really rare." Lin Ji sighed softly.

As if hearing Lin Ji's muttering, a middle-aged man in front of him turned his head to look at Lin Ji.

"Isn't your friend from Yunzhou?"

Lin Ji was startled, and heard that the person in front of him seemed to have something to say.

"What, is there something wrong?"

The middle-aged man smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Ji Liu is in charge of the Longchang Chamber of Commerce."

"Lin Ji."

"Brother Lin, now is not a good time to come to Yunzhou. If there is nothing necessary to do, it is better to leave as soon as possible." Ji Liu reminded.

Lin Ji asked, "Is it because the barbarians disturbed Yunzhou?"

"Disturbance? It is estimated that the war will come soon." Ji Liu shook his head and said, with some certainty in his tone.

While talking, he pointed to the soldiers on the tall wall.

"Did you see those soldiers? Have you ever seen the guards in that city be so alert?"

Lin Ji lowered his voice slightly.

"Appreciate further details."

Ji Liu is obviously a talkative person, maybe it's because the queue has been waiting for too long, and he is bored and wants to talk to someone.

"Generally speaking, the barbarians in the north only go south every three years, and then rest for three years, and then come back again, and the cycle repeats."

"So regular?"

"There's a fart rule. Their ox carts and horse-drawn carts can only steal supplies for three years at a time. If there is nothing to eat, they will naturally come down to grab it."

When Ji Liu mentioned this matter, he was obviously angry, "It stands to reason that the last barbarian invasion was two years ago, and it should come next year anyway. Now there are scattered barbarians in Yunzhou causing trouble. We These merchants don’t dare to be aboveboard.”

Hearing this, Lin Ji understood, no wonder this Ji Liu was so resentful, co-authoring was delaying his business.

Lin Ji continued to ask: "Since we know that the barbarians are robbing food, why don't we transport the food away? If they don't let them return with a full load every time, if things go on like this, they won't even be able to fill their stomachs, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to come to Yunzhou. Bar?"

When Ji Liu heard this, he grinned, and there was something weird in that smile.

"Brother Lin, why do you think barbarians are called barbarians?"

"what?"

"If they couldn't grab food, they would arrest people and bring back the corpses of both sides on the battlefield. As long as they can eat and use them, they will take them back."

"Cannibalism?" Lin Ji's pupils shrank slightly.

Ji Liu patted Lin Ji on the shoulder and waved to the other side.

The team on the other side is the convoy entering the city.

Soon, a team driver came over with a small bag.

Ji Liu took the bag, opened it and showed it to Lin Ji.

"Jerky?" Lin Ji was puzzled.

Ji Liu smiled.

"It was robbed by barbarians on the road. After being killed by my convoy guards, what was snatched... was dried human flesh."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ji subconsciously took the bag from Ji Liu's hand, and took out a bunch of dried meat from it.

I couldn't see it clearly just now, but after I took it out, I could see it clearly.

It was a forearm, air-dried after the palm had been removed.

With some hesitation, he put the thing back into the bag, and handed the bag back.

"Mr. Ji, Lin has opened his eyes."

"Hey, so now is not the time to come to Yunzhou. A big battle will start soon, and the entire northern part of Yunzhou will become a battlefield. I remember that about ten years ago, the barbarians all attacked Beiguan City."

Ji Liu pointed to the city wall and said, "See those ravines above? They were left by the barbarians."

In the time it took to speak, it was Ji Liu's turn in the team.

After he said hello, he went to deal with the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

Lin Ji was still in shock. He used to know that Yunzhou was the front line with the barbarians in the north, but he never knew that things would be so troublesome, let alone that the barbarians could reach the capital of Yunzhou.

"From this point of view, the Zhenbei Army may not have any advantage in the battle situation."

Thinking of the famous Yunzhou Town Northern Army in Beijing, Lin Ji never imagined that the real situation would be like this.

After Ji Liu entered the city, Lin Ji took a step forward.

The guards came up to meet him and looked Lin Ji up and down.

"It looks like you don't look like someone from Yunzhou, come from the south?"

"Yes, from Jingzhou."

"What are you doing in Yunzhou?"

"Do you want to interrogate in such detail?" Lin Ji was taken aback, "I think the people in front of them all gave money and went to the city."

"They are all familiar faces, and they come and go frequently on weekdays, so naturally there is no need to interrogate them." The guard said meticulously.

Lin Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense immediately, if it weren't for the fact that there is no direct access for officials to go in and out of Beiguan City, he wouldn't be in the mood to line up.

He directly took out his token.

"I'm here to do business."

Seeing the sentence, the guard quickly took two steps back and bowed in salute.

"I don't know if it's Lord Commander, please hand over the official documents or proof of identity, Lord Commander."

Hearing this, Lin Ji became more and more surprised, and his expression became a little dignified.

Even the people who supervise Tiansi dare to investigate, if something abnormal happens, there must be a demon.

"I received an oral decree and no official document. As for the identity certificate, how should I prove it?"

"This" the guards were also stumped, if the supervisors in the city came in and out on weekdays, naturally they didn't have to check so carefully.

Just when the situation was a bit difficult, Lin Ji suddenly felt a slight chill on the back of his neck, because someone powerful was looking at him.

Turning around, I saw someone crossing the long line and heading straight for the gate of the city.

The man was wearing a thick jacket and a felt hat on his head, but judging from his rosy face, it was obvious that he was not dressed like this because of the cold.

He looked like he was in his early forties, with flesh on his face.

Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, he felt that his primordial power was about to move, as if he wanted to compete with the person in front of him.

"Daily Traveling Monk?" The man came up to him and looked at Lin Ji.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on the token in Lin Ji's hand again.

"Where are you the Commander?"

"Jingzhou, Lin Ji." Lin Ji responded, and asked again, "Have you asked for advice yet?"

"You're Lin Ji? Hahaha, brother Lin, I've been friends with you for a long time." The hunky man laughed twice, and waved his hands at the guard at the door.

The guard didn't say a word, and quickly moved out of the way.

Somewhat inexplicably, after following the big man into the city, the big man turned his head to look at Lin Ji.

"Qin Jinsong, the official of Yunzhou Town."
