Wang Yuan glanced around and then said slowly: "Based on the geographical boundaries, this place has left Lingzhou and should have entered Yongzhou."

"After all, this should be considered Bai Yanfei's territory."

"But look at this place, it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the transportation is not convenient. In addition, there are no other cities behind Wooden City, and there are not even villages or towns within hundreds of miles here."

"Presumably, precisely for this reason, this place has become an unwanted place."

"I guess even Bai Yanfei is too lazy to manage it."

Before arriving here, the member of Diewang had already briefly introduced to Wang Yuan about this century-old city.

There isn’t even much labor here, and the various facilities are underdeveloped. Who would want such a city?

It is also necessary to divide the troops for garrison, which is indeed very troublesome.

Even Wang Yuan would not even engage in such a loss-making business.

Stationing a city in such a barren place, once attacked by others, there is no way to support it!

Moreover, even if reinforcements arrive, the day lilies may be cold, and others will have to wait for work!

"I see…"

After hearing Wang Yuan's explanation, Hua Hua and Wan Xiu'e finally understood.

"Then the security here must be very bad, right?"

"It seems that we have to be more careful..."

Wan Xiu'e spoke cautiously.

In the past ten years of life, she almost never left home. Even when she was traveling back and forth, she was always sitting in a carriage.

Coupled with the fact that she has her brothers, sisters and parents around her, she has never had any experience going out.

It's natural to be a little scared when you suddenly come to a place like this where no one has jurisdiction.

Wang Yuan glanced around and then said with a smile: "Although there are many mountains here, I'm afraid there are no bandits on these mountains."

"Not to mention that there are no caravans passing by. Even if we plunder the wooden city, we probably won't get anything good."

"The bandits will all starve to death."

"So, just keep your heart in your stomach. It's not as exaggerated as you think."

Wang Yuan smiled and said a few words.

Wan Xiu'e on the side nodded.

I can finally let go of my hanging heart.

Of course, one of the most important reasons is that she has always been with Wang Yuan. As long as she and Wang Yuan are not separated, there is nothing to worry about?

Even if the sky falls, Wang Yuan can withstand it.

In the blink of an eye, several people had entered the wooden city.

Looking at it, it is true that this place is not very prosperous, and although there are some buildings on the street, most of them are abandoned.

Only a few private houses remain.

While walking on the street, Wang Yuan's eyes fell on an elderly man, and he quickly stepped forward.

He took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it into the old man's hand. Then he slowly said: "Sir, have you ever heard of the name Gufeng?"

After hearing the name Gu Feng, the old man was about to accept the money, but suddenly stopped.

He glanced at Wang Yuan warily, then shook his head.

"Have not heard."

They say money can make money work, and that's true.

The elderly man in front of me was obviously going to get the money, but after hearing Gu Feng's name, he actually refused. This proved that the other party probably knew the news about Gu Feng!

Wang Yuan rolled his eyes and immediately understood what the other party was thinking. Then he smiled and said, "You don't need to hide it from me. I know what Gu Feng does."

"And I didn't come here to cause trouble for Gu Feng."

While speaking, Wang Yuan pointed to the flowers around him, then smiled and said: "This little girl is Gu Feng's biological daughter. Since her mother has passed away, I only learned about it from her mother's mouth. News about her father.”

"When I came here this time, I wanted to find her father more for her."

The elder hesitated for a moment, then turned his attention to the flowers.

"Is everything you say true?"

He asked cautiously.

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded, "Everything is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Huahua."

"The little girl is so young, so she won't lie to you."

The old man stared at Wang Yuan with squinted eyes for a while. Seeing that he didn't look evil and didn't look like a bad person, he said slowly: "Then you follow me."

Wang Yuan was overjoyed, it seemed like it was done.

As they walked towards the depths of Mucheng, Wang Yuan asked again: "Actually, I have just seen that you are clearly deliberately concealing Gu Feng's actions, probably to protect him."

"It's just that I don't know why you want to do this?"

Wang Yuan still handed over the ingot of silver to the elderly man.

Now that he has become familiar with Wang Yuan and understands his purpose of coming, the elder said: "Have you noticed that most of the people living here are older people..."

"Just like me."

"We have all lost our labor force. The reason why we can survive here is all because of Gufeng's help!"

"I have always relied on ancient customs to support me."

"Although we also know that his money comes from shady ways, we know Gufeng's character and the money is not from the hands of the poor. Even if we don't spend it as we should, at least it can keep us alive..."

"After all, Gufeng is also a great benefactor to me and everyone in this city."

Wang Yuan nodded.

He finally understood the whole story.

No wonder, these people will protect the ancient style to the death, it turns out that there are still these sayings in it.

It seems that this ancient style is indeed very popular.

Wang Yuan's eyes fell on Hua Hua behind him, and then he smiled and said, "Did you hear that? Your father is not as bad as your mother said, and he is also a great hero."

"You can support so many people by yourself. As the daughter of such a hero, you should feel lucky."

Hua Hua shook her head and laughed, then whispered: "He is indeed good to everyone, but isn't he sorry for me and my mother?"

Although her voice was very low, she still couldn't hide it from Wang Yuan's ears.

But what the flowers said does make sense.

Gu Feng is also considered a master, and he also has this ability. If he could stay with their mother and daughter all the time, their life would not be so bad...

The mother of the flower will not die because of this.

Tuberculosis is not an incurable disease, and there are still ways to treat it. Unfortunately, Hua Hua's mother took it too long...
