Chapter 2954 Charges for entering the city

"Hey! You should change your route! There are bandits on Zhihua Mountain. In the past ten days and a half, everyone who has passed by the foot of this mountain has been kidnapped, including people and property!"

Pei Yu and Yuan Bao reacted in horror.

"Is there such a thing?" Yuan Bao hugged Paopao tightly, "Then, does the government of Zhihua City care about it?"

"What the hell! Zhihua City is just a small town. How many troops does it have in total? I don't know if it's because of insufficient troops or what, but the prefect of Zhihua City has never sent any troops!"

Pei Yu: "Ah? Besides this path, what other path can we take?"

"Either you go north, or you go south around this mountain. In short, you can't go any further! Anyway, no one living near here has dared to walk this road for a long time. They were taken captive Those who go up the mountain are people like you who come from other places and don’t know anything.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him asked for tea, and the waiter immediately left with the teapot.

Yuanbao Pei Yu silently looked towards the Zhihua Mountain in front of him.

This Zhihua Mountain is not a mountain, but a series of mountains connected together. They only discovered it when they arrived at the place.

Sitting in the tea shop, Yuan Bao and Pei Yu could see a layer of white fog covering the mountains. The fog was so heavy that they couldn't even see how high these mountains were.

The teahouse was not a place for talking, so after drinking tea, Yuanbao Pei Yu took the child back to the carriage.

A Fei and the maid were watching outside the carriage, preventing others from approaching.

"In this mountain range, if Xiao Jin hadn't led the way, we might have been searching in the mountains for ten days and a half, but we still wouldn't be able to find the lair of the remnants of Jinghui." Yuan Bao lifted a corner of the car curtain.

"Then what are our arrangements next?" Pei Yu asked Yuan Bao for his opinion, "Are you planning to go to Hushan Mountain, or are you going to take a detour into the city and wait for the people from Tantai Lianhua to arrive?"

Yuan Bao thought for a moment, "Let's go to the city first. We don't have enough manpower after all. If we are really kidnapped up the mountain, it will be a problem."

"Okay, then I'll ask Ah Fei to ask the waiter for directions. Let's go to the city first."

Originally, they could enter the city by walking along the foot of the mountain for half a day, but Yuanbao and the others took a detour and changed their route. They arrived at the gate of Zhihua City the next morning.

The people who wanted to enter the city formed a long queue, and a dispute broke out at the front of the queue. "Why do you charge a city entrance fee? When did Zhihua City have such rules?"

"That's right! You suddenly charge so much entry fee, how can we get it!"

"There are bandits nearby. You don't let us enter the city because you want us to lose our lives at the hands of bandits!"

"Let us in! Let us in!"

The quarrel grew louder.

Yuan Bao, who opened the curtain, saw that the people in front and the officers and soldiers in front were about to fight.

"I'll go ahead and take a look." Pei Yu, who was standing next to the carriage, greeted Yuan Bao in a low voice and then moved forward.

Before Pei Yu could get to the front, there was a fight at the front.

Quanquan Paopao stood on the carriage and watched nervously, fearing that Pei Yu would also be involved in the fistfight.

However, the worries of the two brothers and sisters were obviously unnecessary, and Pei Yu soon returned intact.

Pei Yu got into the carriage and whispered to Yuan Bao: "Since the day before yesterday, Zhihua City has suddenly stopped paying entry fees. Each person has to charge one penny of silver."

"One penny? That's so much, no wonder they started fighting. This is obviously a deliberate blockade, not wanting people to enter the city."

Bandits were rampant outside the city, but the prefect in the city suddenly withdrew the entrance fee. Even a three-year-old child would not believe that there was no connection between the two.

"It seems we came to the right place this time." Yuan Bao said as he took out a heavy purse.
