The imperial capital is also called the royal city by many wizards, because the actual ruler of the Southern Ming Empire, the witch king, lives in this city.

In the Southern Ming Empire, everyone knew that the royal family was just a symbolic ruler supported by the Wuwang Palace.

The imperial court, civil and military officials, are all a set of superficial skills that the Wuwang Palace learned from other countries.

In fact, this country is still like a primitive tribe, the witch king is supreme and powerful, and he can remove the emperor with one word, and the life and death of ten thousand people can be determined with one word.

When the members of the Five Poisons Sect entered the capital, they were subjected to strict interrogation.

In the end, under Yun Ping's arrangement, more than 1,000 people were temporarily stationed in the outer city, and only Xue Jian, Fei Yue, Zhuo Duyun, three Dharma protectors, and six hall masters followed Yun Ping and entered the inner city.

Viewed from above, the capital looks like a huge circular fortress divided into three tiers.

The outermost walls were lower and the largest in the area, where all the civilians lived, and the armies from all over the world were stationed in the outer city.

The walls of the inner city were much higher and more fortified, and they were inhabited by noble officials and people from the Witch King's Palace.

As for the innermost one, Xue Jian saw it while he was still in the outer city.

It is a luxurious palace built on a hillside, and behind the palace there is a black tower with a height of 100 meters, which is the most conspicuous and sacred place in the capital.

The entire capital city was built on a flat terrain that was high in the middle and low on all sides, which perfectly highlighted the nobility of the imperial palace in the city and the momentum of the Witch King's palace above all else.

Looking at the tall black tower, Xue Jian couldn't help but clench his fists.

Fei Yue, who was walking side by side with him, stared at the top of the tower with her eyes staring at the top of the tower, her expression was cold, and the hatred in her eyes was about to erupt.

As if sensing the mood swings of the people around him, Xue Jian turned his head and pulled her cuffs.

He said with a smile.

"Madam, this capital city is different, the remote place in the south of us is really incomparable. ”

Fei Yue forced a smile and nodded back.

"Yes, husband, I just came to this capital, and I don't want to leave. ”

Yun Ping, who was leading the way in front, heard their words, turned around and said with a smile.

"It's good if Mrs. Sister-in-law likes it, there is still a period of time before the ceremony, Mrs. Sister-in-law can let Brother Helian accompany you to go shopping more and relax. ”

Fei Yue showed a virtuous and understanding smile and said.

"Brother Yun said with a smile, my husband is busy with affairs, and he still has to cultivate all day long, how can I delay time because of me. ”

Yun Ping laughed, looked at Xue Jian and said.

"Brother Helian, this is your mistake, a stunning beauty like Mrs. Sister-in-law, how can you snub her. ”

Xue saw that his eyes flashed slightly, and he replied with a smile.

"What Brother Yun said is, but since he has come to the capital, everything still has to focus on major matters, and the relationship between men and women does not need to be too concerned. ”

Yun Ping glanced at Xue Jian and Fei Yue meaningfully, it seemed that along the way, he had not seen any physical contact between the two, and they were not like a husband and wife.

Soon, he sent Xue Jian and the others to the Inner City Post House, which was a place dedicated to receiving foreign officials.

After arranging for everyone to stay, Yun Ping only said that the emperor might summon them in a few days and let them rest well, so he left.

Then Xue Jian called everyone to a room and had a small meeting.

His gaze swept over the three Dharma Protectors standing in front of him, as well as the six Hall Masters.

Originally, the Five Poisons Sect had five protectors and ten hall masters, four of whom died in the hands of Xue Jian in Tianya City, the golden centipede protector died under the mouth of Mo Jiuweng's colorful centipede, and the golden lizard was killed by Fei Yue himself.

It was hard to imagine how these nine people would feel if they knew that their enemies were the sect leader couple and Zhuo Duyun in front of them.

Xue Jian said calmly.

"The situation in the capital is very complicated, and here we all have to be careful not to offend anyone.

In addition, there is some information that you need to inquire about and find out the situation in the capital in order to win the most favorable situation for us. ”

The three Dharma Protectors and the six Hall Masters immediately hugged their fists in unison.

"We will do as the Lord commands. ”

Xue Jian nodded and said with satisfaction.

"Golden snake, golden scorpion, golden toad, you each take two hall masters out to find out the news, be careful. ”

The nine nodded yes, and then all of them exited the room and left the inn.

In the room, for the time being, only Xue Jian, Fei Yue and Mo Jiuweng who pretended to be Zhuo Duyun.

The old drunkard pretended to be Zhuo Duyun all the way, and in order to maintain a good image of gentleness and humility, he didn't even dare to drink too much.

At this moment, he quickly took out the wine jug, took a few big sips, and said with a smile.

"You let them go out to inquire about the news, and they can get a fart, this imperial capital is my home turf, and I am very familiar with every grass and tree here. ”

After he reminded him like this, Xue Jian suddenly remembered that this old drunkard used to be the captain of the guard of the Witch King's Palace.

He slapped his forehead and scolded with a smile.

"Didn't you old guy remind me earlier, I almost forgot where you came from, by the way, you used to be an errand in the Witch King's Palace, haven't you seen Yunping?"

Mo Jiuweng took a few sips of wine, and his rosacea instantly turned red, and he shook his head.

"There are so many people in the Witch King's Palace, how can I see them all, that Yunping knows the high priest, the origin is definitely not simple, the high priest is second only to the Witch King. ”

Xue Jian frowned, he had to figure out a lot of things, otherwise he might miss out if he wasn't careful.

"Old drunkard, is there any way for you to collect all the information about Yun Ping, as well as Helian Chong's complete life experience?"

Mo Jiuweng smiled and said confidently.

"It's simple, in this capital, there is an underground black market, as long as the money is enough, any information can be bought. ”

Xue Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, what can be done with money is really not a problem.

He immediately got up and said.

"Then what are you waiting for, take me to see it right away. ”

Fei Yue also got up, smiling.

"I'm going too. ”

Xue Jian thought about it and said calmly.

"Your appearance is too conspicuous, it's easy to be targeted by people with intentions, what do you want to know, just tell me, and I'll help you inquire." ”

Mo Jiuweng waved his hand and said with a smile.

"No, people who go to the underground black market will cover their faces, and the people there only care about the money in your hand, and they don't care what your identity is. ”

In this case, the three of them left the post house together.

Under the guidance of Mo Jiuweng, they walked to an alley where no one was around, first covered their faces with a black cloth, and then walked into a pawnshop.

When the pawnshop owner saw that they didn't show their true faces, he immediately knew what these people were here for, so he ignored them.

Mo Jiuweng was familiar with the way, and went directly to the backyard, lifted the lid on a dry well, revealing a staircase leading to the ground.

The three of them walked down together, and after a while, they heard a commotion below.

As he walked, Xue Jian's vision suddenly brightened, and a large underground black market appeared in front of his eyes.
