Chapter 25 Qingniu Town

There are more than a dozen villages around "Qingniu Town", such as "Niujia Village", "Panzhuang" and "Gaowu Village". "Gujiazhuang" is also one of them. These villages are under the jurisdiction of "Qingniu Town".

Each village is generally selected and decided by the clan. For example, Gu Yimu, the owner of Gujiazhuang, was elected by the villagers. The officials basically do not interfere with the affairs of these villages.

At the town level, it is different. Generally, there will be personnel from the state to serve as the mayor to manage the whole town. For example, the mayor of "Qingniu Town" is sent by the superior.

However, in "Qingniu Town", those who really have the right to speak are several local forces. Even the mayor of "Qingniu Town" should give them face.

It can be said that they are the real rulers of the "Qingniu Town". As for the mayor, it is just an official decoration.

For these remote towns, the official whip is beyond the reach. As long as it is not involved in fundamental events such as the creation of a rebel country, as long as the official's annual rated tax collection comes up, it is not willing to pay attention to other things at all.

"Gujiazhuang" turned into a scorched earth ruin. Except for more than 50 corpses found, all the others were missing. Gu Fan and others could not find clues here, so they decided to go to "Qingniu Town" to inquire about the news.

"Gujiazhuang" has a population of nearly 1,000, and it is not a small village. Such a big thing has happened here. "Qingniu Town" can't know nothing about it.

"Gujiazhuang" is next to the edge of the "Julu Mountains". "Qingniu Town" is located in the northeast of "Gujiazhuang", about 50 miles away. Although Gufan is small, he once followed the market team in the village. That time he went to "Qingniu Town" to sell all kinds of leather and hunted animal fur.

Since they decided to go to "Qingniu Town", the four Gu Fan immediately went on the road. In order to speed up, Huowu picked up Gu Fan, carried the white purple bell on his back, unfolded his body, and accelerated to run away.

Although Gu Fan has reached the realm of "first-class ancestral disciples", after all, he is a child with short hands and short legs. How can he compare with the two "four-level ancestral disciples" of Huoxuan and Huowu?

They unfolded the "Zhuque step", and the "Zhuque ancestral power" in their bodies was surging, and the wind was blowing under their feet, like two arrows flying away.

Gu Fan lay on the back of Huowu, feeling the "wow" sound of the wind in his ears, and he was worried.

More than 50 miles away, they rushed to "Qingniu Town" with Gu Fan and Bai Ziling in less than half an hour.

The scale of "Qingniu Town" is much larger than that of "Gujiazhuang". Rows of red brick and green tile houses are full of voices, all kinds of hawking, ox carts and carriages are endless, and people come and go.

Before entering the town, Huoxuan and Huowu had taken out two sets of ordinary coarse cloth clothes from the package they brought with them and changed them, covering up the fiery red clothes they were wearing, so as not to attract attention. However, the beauty of Huoxuan still attracted the attention of many people.

The green brick road in the town is enough to make four carriages run in parallel. There are many stalls on both sides, with all kinds of pastries, trinkets or common objects. The white purple bell saw such a lively scene for the first time, and his face was full of excitement.

Gu Fan was irritable and didn't want to appreciate this lively scene. Huoxuan was no stranger to this place. In the past, she once dressed up and visited several times. This time, she took Huo Wu and Gu Fan straight into a pub. This pub was called "Rujia" in "Qingniu Town". Quite famous.

The pub is full of people, and there is noise everywhere.

A young waiter greeted him with a smile on his face. Huoxuan directly took out a round silver coin and whispered, "I want to ask you for some information. If we are satisfied, this silver coin is yours."

A trace of surprise flashed in the young waiter's eyes and he nodded continuously.

In this world, the circulating coins are divided into gold coins, silver coins, bronze coins and black iron coins. The exchange rate of the outer circle is one to one hundred. A silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred bronze coins and ten thousand black iron coins, which is quite valuable in this world, almost equivalent to the waiter's monthly pay.

In this kind of pub, the flow of people is noisy. There are all kinds of people. If you drink a little wine, you will talk about any news and gossip, so if you are a waiter here, you can hear all kinds of gossip. I asked this waiter about the "Gujiazhuang", and you really found the right person.

When he heard the news of "Gujiazhuang", the waiter breathed a sigh of relief. For a while, the matter of "Gujiazhuang" was a big news of "Qingniu Town". Almost every day, someone talked about it in the pub. He heard a cocoon in his ears. How could he not know?

"That was a few months ago. There was a fire in 'Gujiazhuang'. Overnight, a good village was burned to nothing. I heard that many people were burned to death. After the fire, the people of 'Gujiazhuang' mysteriously disappeared. This incident once caused a sensation in the area of 'Qingniu Town'."

Huoxuan frowned slightly and said, "That's all? There are nearly 1,000 people in Gujiazhuang, and now they don't know their whereabouts? All of them are mysteriously missing?" Obviously quite dissatisfied.

The waiter was a little nervous. He stared at the silver coins in Huoxuan's hand and whispered, "Where are the people of 'Gujiazhuang' now? I really don't know, and even the whole 'Qingniu Town', no one will know, but... I know another piece of gossip, but I'm not sure whether it's true or not."

Huoxuan nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

The waiter whispered, "I heard that on the night of the fire in Gujiazhuang, someone saw people in gold moving around there. Some people suspected that the fire in Gujiazhuang and so many people disappeared, which was related to these people in golden clothes."

Huoxuan's heart was stunned. Gu Fan's face changed dramatically when he heard this. In an instant, he thought that when he first met Huoxuan, it was four people in golden clothes who chased Huoxuan.

"Golden clothes? Is there anything embroidered on the chest? Huoxuan's face also changed.

The members of this suit were stunned, and then thought for a moment and said, "Yes... It seems that there is embroidery... Embroidered white bones... By the way, it's a skull, embroidered with skulls." After saying that, he looked at the silver coins in Huoxuan's hand.

Huoxuan took a deep breath and said, "Is there any other news about Gujiazhuang?"

The waiter shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's really gone. I still overheard this last one. If you ask ordinary people, you absolutely don't know."

" OK, thank you." Huoxuan stuffed the silver coin to him, and then walked out of the noisy pub.

Out of the pub, Gu Fan couldn't help saying, "Sister Huo, those gold..."

Huoxuan shook his head at him and whispered, "Let's talk about it later. Let's get out of here first." His face is more serious than ever.

Gu Fan's heart was stunned and he didn't say anything more. The four of them did not stop in "Qingniu Town" and soon left here again.

After the waiter in the "pub" took a silver coin, he turned around and entered the pub with a happy face.

"Boss, boss, you asked us to pay attention at that time, saying that if anyone inquired about 'Gujiazhuang' and 'Golden Man', I would inform you. I just met a few people."

The owner of the "pub" is a middle-aged man with an eagle hook nose. Hearing this, his face changed slightly and he immediately stood up: "What? Let people stare at them immediately, and I'll report it to Master Cao.

After asking about the news about Gujiazhuang, he did not stop and left Qingniu Town directly.

Out of the town, Huoxuan and Huowu's faces became heavier and heavier.

Huo Wu clamped his hands, picked up Gu Fan and Bai Ziling at the same time, followed the fire and ran away.

As soon as he ran less than a hundred meters, the fire suddenly roared, with one arm, like a roc spreading its wings and turning it upside down. The long sword in his hand had long been out of hand and turned into a meteor firelight.
