Warren's Rise and Fall

When everyone arrived at the city gate, they could feel the scent of wood. The city wall was formed by rows of logs more than ten meters high. Various trees were planted under the city wall. Even shorter than the trees were various shrubs. Mumancheng built wide wooden walkways on top, as well as sentry towers and arrow forts. Therefore, the structure of the entire city wall seemed to have a strong defense force.

The gate used the ring principle, a wooden gate was pulled up and down to maintain operation. While everyone was talking to each other, they had already reached the wooden gate.

A guard at the city gate came forward to question them. "What are you doing here? Why have you come to Muman City?"

"Hello, we are refugees from Gengxin City, which has been breached by monsters." Changsun Mingzhi said briefly.

"Oh, so you are from Gengxin City. Some refugees came to Muman City before. We already know that the monsters broke through Baiying City and conquered Gengxin City. We don't know their next target yet, but we should prepare early. I see that you look like cultivators. Are you interested in joining the army of Muman City?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but we have to do our brother a favor first. He escaped death in White Eagle City and said he wanted to bring a message to his comrade-in-arms, a man named Yi Mu, who is from a medium-sized family in Muman City. But can the commander tell us where the registration point for joining the army is? After we finish our business, we can go there to report in." Changsun Mingzhi's polite words were flawless, worthy of being a young master from a large family.

"Yi Mu, I seem to have heard of it, but I can't remember the details at the moment."

"Okay, thank you, sir. Let's go into the city first."

"go Go."

The whole process was conducted by Brother Changsun Mingzhi, and there was really no pressure. We came in smoothly. Wang Lunwo's impression of Changsun Mingzhi improved.

"Master Changsun, everyone is hungry. Why don't we find a restaurant to eat first?" Zhao Wu asked the question on behalf of everyone.

"Okay, let's find a restaurant to eat first. There's no more food in my storage bag, but I still have some money. I can replenish some dry food in the restaurant later."

With the approval of Changsun Mingzhi, everyone started to look around on the street. The street was crowded and noisy. The various snack stalls were full of delicious food, and the aroma was so delicious that it made people salivate. The handicraft stalls were filled with exquisite ornaments, pendants and small ornaments, each of which showed unique craftsmanship and creativity. The clothing vendors displayed fashionable clothes, attracting the attention of customers.

The shops on both sides of the street also have their own characteristics. Some sell monk supplies, such as books, armor and weapons, revealing a solemn atmosphere. People shuttle through this bustling street, some are tasting food, some are choosing handicrafts, and some are looking for monk supplies. It is a lively scene.

Just when everyone was overwhelmed, Wang Lunwo's voice diverted everyone's attention, "Let's go with this one, Fu Lai Restaurant."

The group was already starving after the high-speed movement just now. Now that they saw a restaurant, they didn't care about anything else and rushed in immediately. Only Wang Lunwo was left, disheveled in the wind. Zhang Sun Mingzhi was calm and walked up from behind, patting him on the shoulder, "Let's go, don't let those starving ghosts eat up all the food later."

The two men walked into the restaurant, and the brother who went in first had already found a table. "Hurry up, we're waiting for you two." A brother from the escort agency waved at them.

After Changsun Mingzhi sat down steadily, he picked up the menu and said, "Waiter, here are the stir-fried pork intestines, braised chicken, stewed spare ribs, spicy beef, and this, this. Anyway, please bring me all the meat dishes. We brothers are starving. As for the vegetarian dishes, you can arrange them." As he said that, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The waiter had a smile on his face that even AK couldn't suppress. After all, he had given too much, and there was still a lot left.

"Don't leave in a hurry. I want to ask you something. Have you heard of a cultivator named Yi Mu in Muman City? He is probably at the Bone Tempering Realm."

"Ah, sir, this......"

Chang Sun Mingzhi saw that the waiter looked embarrassed and knew that this guy must know about it. If he didn't tell him, it meant that he didn't pay enough, so he took out another silver ingot and handed it to the waiter.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I only know that you should be able to find out about this matter in the slums around Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city." The waiter accepted the silver ingot, smiled happily, and gave out some useful information.

"Okay, thank you. Please ask the kitchen to serve us the food." Changsun Mingzhi knew that the waiter would not say anything more. Besides, the other party also asked him to ask around in the City God Temple in the south of the city, so he sent him away.

"okay."

Everyone was talking while moving their chopsticks, and no one disturbed each other.

Zhang Sun Mingzhi sat next to Wang Lunwo, making them a perfect pair. "Wang Lunwo, what do you think about your Yimu Centurion?"

"I think there must be something fishy about this matter. The waiter obviously knows about it, but he just won't say it. There must be some reason why he doesn't want to tell others."

"I feel the same way. After dinner, I'll go with you to the Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city to take a look."

After everyone had swept away everything, Changsun Mingzhi booked four rooms with the word "Di" in the middle. The other brothers in the escort agency went to three rooms to rest first. Changsun Mingzhi cooperated with Wang Lunwo to leave the restaurant.

After many twists and turns, Changsun Mingzhi and Wang Lunwo finally arrived at the Chenghuang Temple Pinmin District in the south of the city. They were surprised to see a dilapidated scene here, with low and dilapidated houses, narrow and dirty streets.

Looking around, most of the buildings in the area have been in disrepair for a long time, with peeling walls and broken windows, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Some houses are even tilted and look shaky, as if they may collapse at any time.

The streets were littered with garbage and smelled foul. People were dressed in tattered clothes, had haggard faces, and their eyes revealed the hardships of life. Children were playing on the dusty ground, but their smiles were bitter.

Zhangsun Mingzhi and Wang Lunwo watched all this, and felt powerless. This was not something they could solve at the moment, even if they really wanted to help them. They couldn't imagine how people lived in such an environment, and they had a deeper understanding of the poverty in the city. The poverty and desolation of this place made them deeply feel what it meant to "have wine and meat in the rich houses, but freeze to death on the streets."

Zhang Sun Mingzhi took out a piece of dry food and stopped a child who was playing. "Little friend, do you know that there is a person named Yi Mu in this area?"

"Yi Mu, you mean Yi Mu from Granny Shui's family, right? I heard he was a cultivator, quite powerful, but for some reason, he left Muman City. Not long after he left, his mother Granny Shui moved here to live. I also heard from Granny Shui herself that her son was very powerful and was a cultivator."

"Okay, thank you, little boy. Can you tell us exactly where Grandma Shui lives?" Changsun Mingzhi said as he handed the dry food to the child.

"Yes, that's the one with moss growing on the wall over there."

Wang Lunwo and his eldest grandson Mingzhi said goodbye to the child and walked straight towards the dilapidated, moss-covered house.
