The guards at the city gate were just ordinary people, so they naturally could not find anything special about Feiyu, so he successfully sneaked into Langya City.

After entering Langya City, Feiyu first went to the teahouse, where all kinds of people gathered and gossip was the most abundant. Here, Feiyu could get the latest news about Langya City the fastest.

He ordered a pot of ordinary tea and found a seat to sit down alone.

Seeing that he was dressed casually, the waiter ignored him, put down the tea and left.

Feiyu took a sip from his cup when he suddenly heard a conversation behind him: "Hey, have you heard? The relief food that was distributed to us last time was looted by bandits."

"Yes, I heard later that a team of rangers recovered it."

"Indeed, I heard that the rangers were wearing black veils and were highly skilled in martial arts, so it was easy for them to deal with the bandits."

Fei Yu was speechless. How could the events be distorted like this? How could their help to Langya City become another legend?

He took another sip of his tea, but the next words almost made him spit out the tea in his mouth.

They continued, "I heard that those chivalrous knights live in seclusion in the nearby mountains and rarely show themselves to others. They are all first-class hermits!"

"No, they don't live in seclusion, but they specialize in robbing those rich and unkind guys. They stay away from serious merchants. I heard that if there are poor people passing by them, they will help them with their travel expenses!"

"Wow, I really want to join them!"

"Don't dream. With your mediocre skills, it's hard for you to run faster than others can even walk!"

Feiyu didn't understand why the image of himself and his men had become like this, but such rumors were not entirely bad. At least the government would have no idea where to start when investigating.

Feiyu waited in the teahouse for a while. After finishing a pot of tea and confirming that there was no valuable information in the teahouse, he paid the bill and left.

He went to other areas of Langya City with a large flow of people, hoping to hear from these people what the people or the government think about Beacon Mountain. However, he did not get any substantial information, and he was even confused about the reason for increasing the guards at the city gate. Feiyu was a little disappointed with today's harvest, after all, there was not much useful information.

Feiyu went to an inn, planning to rest for a night and then go to Mingyue City to gather information tomorrow.

After arranging the room, the owner asked, "Sir, you are not a local, right?"

Feiyu replied calmly: "Yes, I came to Langya City to visit my relatives."

The shop owner sighed, "Alas, these days, the relief supplies shipped from Langya City were robbed by bandits, but fortunately a group of heroes took them back. Now is the critical moment for the prefect to distribute relief supplies, so patrols have been strengthened. Young master, it is better not to go out at night."

"Thank you for the reminder, but I don't understand why those bandits are so arrogant."

"Hey, this matter is quite complicated. The frequent gang activities near the city have been going on for a long time. Local residents try to avoid those unreasonable gangsters when traveling. Although it is troublesome, it is better than running into trouble."

The innkeeper paused for a moment, then continued, "But the situation has improved a lot recently. I don't know what happened to those little hooligans, they have been staying in the mountains recently and no longer come down to cause trouble easily. However, they tried to rob relief supplies once, and other times when residents passed by the mountain, they didn't encounter these hooligans. But the county magistrate is still worried that they have some conspiracy, so he has strengthened the police deployment in the urban area of ​​Langya."

......

Feiyu talked with the boss for a long time and learned that the residents did feel that the bandits were not as arrogant as before. However, the mayor of Langya City was worried that these bandits would suddenly appear, so he went all out to strengthen the security control of Langya City.

As a result, it is estimated that Langya City will maintain the status quo in the short term and will no longer take proactive actions to wipe out bandits.

Furthermore, without the trouble of bandits, the operation of Langya City could hopefully return to normal, and its commerce would have the opportunity to flourish like other cities.

After learning about the movements of Langya City, Feiyu felt relieved. The city's energy was all focused on its own safety. If Fenghuoshan did not move during this period, Langya City would not necessarily send troops against Fenghuoshan.

Having resolved the issue on his mind, Feiyu slept quite peacefully that night.

The next day, at the break of dawn, Feiyu got up, left the hotel, walked out of the gate of Langya city, and prepared to go to Mingyue City again to inquire about the news.

This time, Feiyu went to Mingyue City, but he did not move forward at full speed, but thought while moving. Now Langya City does not seem to be a big threat to Fenghuoshan, and they do not have extra troops to attack Fenghuoshan.

On the other hand, the situation in Mingyue City is not necessarily the same. There had been a feud between Fenghuoshan and the mayor of Mingyue City before, and I led my people to defeat his army at that time.

Given the personality of the mayor of Mingyue City, once he has rested and recuperated, he will most likely not swallow this anger, but will lead his troops to challenge Fenghuo Mountain again.

With him around, Feiyu wasn't afraid. No matter how many people came, he could stop them one by one. But after he left, it was still unknown whether the brothers could resist those well-equipped troops.

Therefore, Feiyu has made preparations. Once it is confirmed that the mayor of Yue City has signs of attacking Fenghuoshan, he will immediately eliminate the other party to prevent future troubles.

However, at this moment, he was also extremely conflicted. If he really took action to eliminate the mayor of Mingyue City, it would probably bring more trouble. The government would definitely conduct a serious investigation upon hearing about the death of a local official. If all this was linked to Fenghuoshan, Fenghuoshan would probably not be able to be saved.

On the contrary, if he didn't take action, he would be worried because Fenghuoshan had such a serious hidden danger during his absence. If it really didn't work, Feiyu would still take action.

While walking, he thought of Hongyue. Although Zhang Liang was smart, what should he do if he could not cure Hongyue's eye disease when he arrived in Kyoto to see him?

Feiyu is currently most worried that Hongyue's eyes will get worse on the road. If that's the case, he's really worried.

Now, Feiyu didn't dare to think too deeply about Hongyue, for fear that the worst situation would happen. In that case, he would be desperate.

Feiyu imagined all the worst outcomes and hoped that none of them would happen again. He hoped that everything would turn out well and that things would develop as he had foreseen.

Thinking so, Feiyu walked to the gate of Mingyue City.

The entry inspection into Mingyue City was as relaxed as usual. Feiyu quietly followed the crowd and entered the city smoothly.

Compared to Langya City, Mingyue City's business is more prosperous, with constant hawking sounds and transactions occurring naturally wherever people gather.

The Mingyue City Government did not excessively intervene in this phenomenon, because the places set up specifically for business were already overcrowded. Therefore, for this spontaneous market, the mayor of Mingyue City chose to charge people engaged in buying and selling.
