Chapter 581: Chapter 256 Safety House

The security of Yuezhou City was very strict, with numerous patrolling soldiers draped in iron armor on the 20-meter-high city wall, and frighteningly large crossbow cannons placed along the wall.

At the city gate, several blue-armored warriors guarded it. Every person entering the city required a pass.

Li Changhe had entered Yuezhou City the previous night using his identity as a conscript. With the cover of the carriage, he didn’t arouse any suspicion.

"A U-shaped city wall, along with the number of crossbow cannons and the protection of armored warriors, this city’s defense force is terrifyingly strong. No wonder it’s one of the three great conscription cities," Yang Dong said as he observed Yuezhou City while in the entrance queue, quickly estimating its powerful defensive force.

"At this time, besides Great Tang itself, no one should be able to conquer this city. Defending against enemies within is very reliable," He thought while maintaining a naive smile and handing his pass to the inspecting soldier.

After last night’s exploration, officials decided to gather at various locations first.

Yang Dong arrived at the nearest Yuezhou City.

He was fortunate that it wasn’t too far away; a dozen miles wasn’t too difficult for players.

However, players who were teleported to the depths of the mountains and forests were miserable. They probably didn’t even know where they were right now.

The inspecting soldier glanced at Yang Dong’s pass and nodded slightly. Yang Dong was allowed to enter.

This was a [Spirit Communication Card], one of the officials’ standard items.

Even if it had images of Peppa Pig and SpongeBob on it, people with less than seven energy points saw it as a completely normal pass.

After entering Yuezhou City, Yang Dong headed towards the inn where Li Changhe was staying.

He quietly observed the nearby movements, as there must be other players with the same idea.

At present, enemy and ally identities were unknown, so he had to be careful.

It might have been a coincidence, but he suddenly heard his name in a nearby porridge shop, which made him unconsciously slow down his steps.

"Yuezhou City is really big and crowded. Even at night, it’s brightly lit; it’s an eye-opening experience. Back in our village, there aren’t any people once the night falls. It’s not in vain for us to have trained so hard and passed the examination to earn the Auxiliary Army’s qualifications," said a tall, injured young man in the porridge shop, drinking porridge while talking with his companions. "It was so dangerous last night. If it wasn’t for Brother Dong, we might have been eaten by wolves."

"Yeah, who could have expected that there would be people daring to attack the conscription team so close to Yuezhou," his companion also sighed. "Fortunately, Brother Dong appeared. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have a chance to go to the brothel and see the girls."

"Hey, I heard that the armored warrior who led us out of the valley is a big official, the captain of the third team of Yuezhou City. He wanted Brother Dong to become his personal soldier. Brother Dong is going to make it big," whispered the young man at the adjacent table in a low voice, but Yang Dong could still catch it.

"They’re all armored warriors, are there any small officials?" The tall young man replied, "However, it’s true that Brother Dong is going to make it. His skills are already good; plus, he killed... ahem, if he was a formal Auxiliary Army member earlier, he might have gotten a second-class merit and become an armored warrior someday."

"Becoming an armored warrior isn’t that easy," the companion waved his hand. "But, if Brother Dong becomes a personal soldier, it won’t be far off. After we become Auxiliary Army members, we must follow Brother Dong."

"Unfortunately, Brother Dong said that he had fellows in Yuezhou City last night, so he went to find them directly. Otherwise, we would have gathered some money to take him to the brothel to have some fun and strengthen our friendship."

"Hey, aren’t you the one who wants to go? With Brother Dong’s great skills and handsome appearance, maybe he already has a family. Why would he join you in your debauchery?"

"Oh, so you’re not going?"

"...I’m going!"

They were the conscripts that Li Yang had saved the night before.

Yang Dong remained silent upon hearing this and then continued expressionlessly towards the northern part of the city.

He wouldn’t have cared too much if he just heard a story character with the same name and surname in the mission plot. He might just consider it fate.

Yang Dong was a common name...

However, if the premise involved a certain guy in this mission, he wouldn’t even think about it.

Moreover, that guy suddenly said he would treat him to a meal in the [Friends] group last night.

This was... obvious!

"Damn you! I’ll give you a beating later!"

...

On the other side, in the backyard of the inn, Li Changhe, wearing thin clothes, grabbed an axe and swung it at the firewood on the stone platform.

Splitting firewood wasn’t difficult for players with their attributes.

However, when his axe blade struck the firewood, it didn’t leave a trace.

This showed that his control of strength was very precise.

As for why he was chopping wood, Moon God and Li Changhe had enough coins to rent the entire inn and planned to use it as a safe house for players during the mission.

To avoid revealing anomalies and being noticed by outsiders.

High-energy players in the team also secretly informed the innkeeper and operators.

Thus, Li Changhe had an early morning firewood chopping exercise, consuming some of his vigorous energy.

But everyone’s eyes were strange, starting with Bai Yujing who woke up early as well.

He was setting up hidden defensive measures around the inn and placing Present Disconnected Space.

Seeing Li Changhe, Bai Yujing sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and left without saying a word.

Leaving Li Changhe puzzled.

Then came Chen Yu.

She looked up and down at Li Changhe, poking his back with her finger and even hitting him with her fist.

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t touch me!" Li Changhe found it strange and complained, "Don’t be seduced by my beautiful appearance; you can’t get my heart."

But Chen Yu said, "Aren’t you the main physique? Why are you so weak?"

Li Changhe: ?

Finally, there were Moon God and Chi Yao.

Chi Yao spoke, "Eight-direction, you should know that we graduated from a medical university. If you have any troubles, you should talk to us. Don’t hide your illness."

"Wait, you guys..." Li Changhe hadn’t finished speaking yet.

Moon God interrupted, "Junior sister, you are too subtle. At this time, you should learn from me."

With that, a flash of spatial fluctuations appeared in her hand.

She took out a large bag of goji berries and handed them to Li Changhe, "Here, chew on these. It should help."

Li Changhe remained silent and simply responded with an ’oh’.

Then, he slightly raised his axe and said solemnly, "Old Moon, the moon isn’t up yet. Do you want to get beaten up?"

"This has nothing to do with getting beaten up or not," Moon God said solemnly. "I’m just thinking about your happiness, brother."
