Chapter 900: Finding the way, deserve to suffer

Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu chose to camp in the wild instead of rushing to the next town. It wasn’t because they want to bear hardships and didn’t want to hurry, nor deliberately oppose the people of the Imperial Envoy. They refused to go to the next town because it was not peaceful.

Xiao Tianyao had previously sent troops to stop the Imperial Envoy for dozens of days in the name of suppressing bandits, but there were many bandits along the way.

Although that man, Liu Bai sometimes has a bad brain, he always carried out matters according to Xiao Tianyao’s orders. When Xiao Tianyao said he wanted to suppress the bandits, he would suppress them all the way.

Along the way, Liu Bai wiped out countless bandit dens, big and small, and he did a real thing for the common people. But… …

Liu Bai led the regular army all the way to suppress the bandits but suffered a lot in the next town. If he hadn’t run fast, he would have almost died there.

The town that the Imperial Envoy and the young prince rushed to was indeed not far from them, and the environment was good, but that town was not a good place for outsiders.

That town was called Stone Town. As the name suggests, the town was rich in stones. To be precise, the town was not rich in stones but has nothing but stones.

That town was full of stones, and the ground was also full of stones. There was no place to grow food. The people in the town can only rely on those stones for food, but those stones were not worth much.

In the early years, the surrounding towns needed to buy stones to build roads and houses, and the people in the town could earn some hard money by selling and hammering stones, but as the surrounding towns and villages were built, there was no market for stones in Stone Town anymore.

Stones were available in most places. People from nearby towns and villages choose to buy stones in Stone Town because of the cheap price and the proximity.

For towns and villages that were far away, most people would rather choose something else instead of going to Stone Town to drag the stones. The toll may be more expensive than the stones.

The stones in Stone Town were ordinary, without any special features, rich people look down on them, and ordinary people were reluctant to spend a lot of money to transport stones from Stone Town, so no one wants the stones in Stone Town.

The stones cannot be sold, the fields cannot grow food, and the people in the town have no way to survive. What would they do?

To survive, the people in the town can only rob passers-by.

Stone Town was not the only way to enter and leave the capital, but it was also a main road. People who enter the capital from the south can save two days by walking from Stone Town, and many people who don’t know will be planted in Stone Town.

With the occasional supplies from passers-by, the people in Stone Town survived tenaciously, and the days got better and better.

After several years of development, the people of Stone Town became all bandits. Even children who were just toddlers know how to help adults to set traps for passers-by.

Stone Town was united as one, although the local government people were determined to govern, but facing the stone city and the people in the town who will starve to death even if they were not moved, they have no way to clean them up. They can only turn a blind eye to the behavior of the people in Stone Town and close one eye.

Fortunately, the people in Stone Town have robbed passers-by over the years, but they still have principles. Usually, they only want money and items, and never take lives.

In the face of strong resistance, the people of Stone Town will also kill. After all, how can one expect a group of strong robbers to talk about principles and kindness all year round?

The people in Stone Town were so rampant. Over the years, many people have gone to the government to file a complaint, and the government has also sent troops, but once they enter Stone Town, they all died. No one can use force in Stone Town, but they will be fine as soon as they leave Stone Town quietly.

The government sent troops into the town several times, but they all failed. It was even rumored that Stone Town was blessed by gods.

Those who passed by were just unlucky. After all, the place in Stone Town was too evil. They were sure that there was no traditional Chinese medicine, but they lost their fighting power as soon as they arrived in Stone Town, and could only be slaughtered by the people of Stone Town.

The Imperial Envoy, all dressed in rich clothes and tall horses, looked like fat sheep at first glance. When they arrived in Stone Town, the people in the town would never let them go.

“There are many masters in the group of Imperial Envoy, they may not be inflicted.” After learning about the situation in Stone Town, Lin Chujiu was not very worried about them.

There was no shortage of masters among the members of the Imperial Envoy, and there were people from Tiancang Pavilion secretly protecting them. People in Stone Town may not be able to take advantage of them.

“Stone Town is not as simple as you and I thought. At that time, Liu Bai led an elite of 1,000 people, but he almost die in Stone Town.” Xiao Tianyao admitted that the Martial Gods were very powerful, but his Jinwuwei Army was not weak.

Even the Jinwuwei Army with thousands of people can’t get benefits in Stone Town, what more are the people from the Imperial Envoy? They will fall.

“Is there something in Stone Town that we don’t know?” This was the only thing Lin Chujiu can guess, otherwise, how could a group of mobs can take advantage of Martial Gods?

“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao nodded and said, “According to Liu Bai’s investigation, there is a special kind of stone in Stone Town, which is colorless and odorless, but if you touch it, your whole body will become sore and weak, and the effect is comparable to the strongest cartilage powder.”

“The most frightening thing is that the stone does not affect the people of Stone Town, only outsiders will be affected. And Stone Town is full of stone buildings, chairs, stools, and beds are all stones. You won’t even know how or why you get hit until you become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.”

The destructive power of that strange rock was too great. No matter how many people enter the stone town, they will lose their combat effectiveness until they leave the stone town.

“That’s quite interesting. If you have a chance, get a piece, and let’s take a look.” As a doctor, Lin Chujiu was not a research madman, but she was still very interested in this kind of stone with special functions.

“If it can resist the strength of the Martial Gods, it’s worth our time to explore Stone Town.” Xiao Tianyao admitted that he did it on purpose, deliberately not explaining the situation of Stone Town, and asked the young prince of the Central Empire to lead people to explore the way.

“You are so insidious, you!” Having been together for so long, Lin Chujiu still doesn’t know Xiao Tianyao, but just looking at Xiao Tianyao’s expression, she knows what Xiao Tianyao was planning.

“Benwang reminded them, but they don’t listen to people’s persuasion.” Xiao Tianyao didn’t feel that what he did was unkind at all.

If they don’t want to listen to people’s advice, they deserve to suffer a bit.

The members of the Imperial Envoy did not listen to Xiao Tianyao’s persuasion and took the young prince to Stone Town. The group worked hard and finally arrived at Stone Town when it was almost dark.

As soon as they entered Stone Town, they saw the clean and tidy streets, and the friendly and wealthy people on the street. The Imperial Envoy team was very satisfied. They immediately asked passers-by and found the best inn in the town to stay.

The people of the Imperial Envoy were not short of money, and they booked the entire inn as soon as they entered. After a delicious meal, everyone went to rest. Only four people were left on duty, and they didn’t notice that there were very few outsiders in the town.

The moment before going to bed, the members of the Imperial Envoy were still scolding Xiao Tianyao and his party for not knowing how to enjoy themselves, and they deserved to be bitten by the bugs in the wild. Fortunately, they listened to the young prince and came to the town, otherwise, they might not know how to spend the night.

But… …

They didn’t rejoice for long!
