Arknights is too real, right?

The busiest night market street in Dongzhou Prefecture.

Bagpipe held a red candy apple and said while licking it.

Bah, bah, wow, Xia Feng, you were actually killed by a general of the Yingwu family, bah, bah, bah~

Xia Feng bit into a skewer of grilled squid and replied vaguely.

Hoho, this is so amazing.

It's amazing, you died so mysteriously, ba liu ba liu~

Xia Feng chewed until his mouth was full of oil.

No, I mean, this grilled squid is so delicious, it's amazing.

After saying that, he put the remaining half of the string into Feng Bao's mouth.

Is it tasty?

Woof!

To be honest, Xia Feng didn't know exactly what happened, but after thinking about it carefully, he could still analyze some of the most likely conclusions.

Dongguo has been in a state of three-legged confrontation all year round, and almost any major event that happens to the family may become a weight that affects the balance.

If he were Sakura Takeyama, facing an assassin who had not been caught for nearly two months, he would only have two considerations.

One, this person had been seriously injured and died in an unknown corner.

Second, this person escaped from Dongzhou by hiding from all the eyes and ears of the Yingwu family.

Based on his injuries at the time, the probability of the first scenario was far greater than the second. Prolonging this matter would only bring disgrace to the Sakurawu family.

Therefore, Yingwushanxiong swallowed his anger and chose the method of maximizing profits.

That is, finding a scapegoat on the surface.

He believed that everyone really believed that Zhang San was dead, except Sakura Takeyama himself and his confidants who dealt with the matter.

Yes, he is dead, but he is still alive, and the world is so wonderful.

The one who died was Zhang San, and the one who lived was Xia Feng. From this moment on, even if he stood at the intersection of the night market and shouted I am Zhang San!, he would probably be treated as a lunatic with a high probability.

No one can be 100% sure that he is Zhang San. As long as everyone thinks he is dead, then he is really dead.

Of course, except for Sakurawu Qianye, the only one who has ever seen him.

But having said that, since Yingwu Shanxiong has chosen to suffer the loss of being dumb, he will naturally not push forward.

From now on, the road faces the sky, each side goes to the other side. No one owes anyone anything. I pay my respects to you.

Prices in Dongzhou Mansion are very high, but no matter how high they are, they are not as high as the five gold stones in his hand.

At the bank, I opened a gold stone and exchanged it for 100 stone silver. After shopping around, I still had 99 silver coins and a handful of copper coins left.

It was obviously the first time for Bagpipe to visit such a rustic night market. Although it was not comparable to Victoria's commercial street, it had a unique charm.

Wow, Xia Feng, look at that, it's handmade cotton candy!

I saw it.

Wow, look over there, goldfish, there are so many goldfish, are we going to catch them?

Goodbye, it's good to let the little goldfish live a little longer.

snort.

Although Bagpipe was born in the military, a woman is a woman after all, and her original desire for shopping is still irresistible.

Of course, there are some things that Xia Feng thinks are necessary to buy, such as clothes.

The clothes prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Nagato are basically old things. Although they are not shabby, most of them are summer clothes, and the underwear also needs more changes.

Standing in the middle of the night market, Xia Feng separated some scattered coins and gave them to Bagpipe.

Let's do this. You go shopping here first and buy some things you like. I'll buy a map and then see if I can find a carriage to Xichuan. We'll meet at the goldfish stall in 40 minutes.

Bagpipe took the money.

What about Feng Bao?

Feng Bao will follow you. Just carry the things you bought on your back. Be careful not to buy too much and tire Feng Bao out.

Know it.

After splitting up with Bagpipe, Xia Feng searched for shops selling travel supplies along the road. He hoped to find an accurate map of the Eastern Kingdom, even if it was drawn manually by the caravan.

Now that all the troubles were over, he felt very relaxed.

The mentality at this moment is completely different from that in Victoria. There is no longer a need to guard against the events prophesied in the distant mountains, and there is no longer a need to worry about the threat of the empire.

There is no source stone processing business that is afraid of being exposed, and there is no political situation that is at stake. His current vision only needs to be in front of him, and in his heart he only needs to think about the path under his feet, and that is enough.

Everyone in Black Feather does not need to worry about him. Although he has been separated from Victoria for a long time, he knows that everyone must be doing well.

Nancy will definitely develop the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce into a pillar enterprise of the empire's economy. At the same time, she does not need to worry about any trouble, because her brother is the military chief of the empire.

Ifrit will surely enjoy the barbecue every day, Dr. Kane and Helmer will definitely make the medical industry develop steadily, Mel can develop her technological products to her heart's content, and Hongdao and Lagouzi can do whatever they want. thing.

The black wings that once existed in the night no longer exist. Everyone can live openly in the sun and enjoy the rest of their lives.

Of course, although some things pretend not to care, the thoughts in my heart cannot deceive myself.

Inadvertently, Xia Feng still misses his former companions. At the same time, he also knows that there is a small figure who, although it is easy for others to forget, will never forget him no matter what.

When he stabilizes in Dongguo, let's take Turtle over as well.

If she wanted to.

Those beautiful memories linger in my mind. Walking in the bustling night market, my face under the summer wind raincoat always has a smile on my face.

This kind of smile was something he rarely showed in the past. It was a kind of smile that let go of obsession and was truly relaxed and comfortable.

Passing by a shop, Xia Feng strode forward.

Boss, do you have a map?

What map?

A map of Dongguo, or a thumbnail of the route from Dongzhou to Xichuan is fine.

There is no such thing.

Farewell.

After visiting several stores in a row, Xia Feng finally found a fairly complete map in a grocery store.

I unfolded it and looked at it, and generally there seemed to be no problem.

Boss, how much does this cost?

The boss was a fat middle-aged man. He put a cigarette in his hand and leaned his elbow on the counter.

Little brother, you are a foreigner.

Xia Feng was too lazy to parry this routine and said directly.

Okay, I'm in a hurry. Don't worry about whether I'm a foreigner or not. Just tell me how much it is.

Tsk, tsk, you must have a good eye. This map of mine was leaked from within the Dahe Chamber of Commerce. If you look carefully, there are signs for each road and various routes on it.

Xia Feng raised his hand to interrupt the boss's boasting.

Okay, okay, stop inking and just tell me how much it is.

The boss held out three fingers.

I like people who are cheerful. I can take it away at a fixed price of 30 silver.

Damn it, robbery. I'm a foreigner but I'm not an idiot. 30 silver can buy a cow.

The boss didn't expect Xia Feng to come right after he opened his mouth.

Whose cattle can be bought for 30 silver? I'll cover all the cows you have.

Okay, don't ink, make it cheaper.

Then how much did you say?

Xia Feng counted 5 silver coins from his pocket and slapped them on the counter.

That's it. If you don't sell it, I'll look for it elsewhere.

At this moment, the boss stubbed out the cigarette in an instant, and put the 5 silver coins into the money box with his plump palm like lightning, with a speed comparable to that of Bei Qiu Li Yu.

Hey, hey, sell, sell, sell.

this

2 minutes later.

Xia Feng cursed secretly as he walked out of the grocery store with a broken map.

Damn, it's too expensive again.
