Luoyang City, the largest city in the world, is not in vain, and the city wall uses the construction method of slurry joints, which is stronger and more majestic than the city wall of Lin'an City of Dayin.

There are a total of eight city gates in the four directions of Lin'an City, east and west, north and south, and there are twelve city gates in Luoyang City, which correspond to the twelve palaces of the zodiac, just the royal road in the city is as long as twenty miles, and the buildings on the royal road are thick and prosperous than the capital of each dynasty in the world, and the geographical conditions are superior and the products are abundant.

As the center of Qingguo, Luoyang City guards the north-south thoroughfare, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes, the pawns of merchants, the nobles of the ministers, and millions of people in the city have formed a huge supply relationship.

Chu instantly summoned them to form a long line outside the city, looking at the soldiers who were inspecting the plates and packages at the city gate, and felt that their hearts were in their throats.

Fortunately, with Lu Qi, the household servant, to help explain, the sergeants looked at the plate that symbolized Chu Xianzhao's identity, and found that his identity was not very clean, and his parents' household registration was unknown, especially when they looked at the two swords behind Chu Xianzhao, they couldn't help frowning, shook their heads repeatedly and looked at the white-haired young man, and said helplessly: "Qinglu has an order, outsiders can't casually bring iron soldiers into the city, they need to be handed over to us for registration, and they can only be returned to you after approval." ”

After speaking, he was like going to take the two swords behind Chu Xianzhao, Chu Xuanzhao didn't speak, and quietly sealed the sword scabbard with a gas machine, and watched him coldly and couldn't pull it out even when he was sweating profusely.

The sergeant suddenly became a little anxious, thinking that he was also a fierce man who could pull out the five-stone bow, and this sword was sticky and mush, and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

"Boy, hand over the sword and we'll let you go, what kind of sword is this, it's so heavy-" The sergeant touched the sweat on his head.

Chu instantly summoned the urn and said angrily: "My father has an order, the sword does not leave the body, the person is in the sword, and the sword is broken." ”

"Damn, my ears are callousing when you say this, kid didn't we deliberately embarrass you, but that's the rule-"

Before the sergeant's words were finished, Lu Qi squeezed out from behind, stood in front of Chu Xianzhao and carefully explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, I asked a friend to bring his child to Luoyang for an errand, please raise your noble hands, let us pass." ”

Lu Kui took the sergeant's hand with a smile, and by the way, he stuffed a very small folded hundred-tael silver ticket into his sleeve, the sergeant's eyes turned around, and he yelled at the grumbling walkers behind, "What's the hurry, hurry up to help your dead ghost father go to the grave!"

The voices of the crowd slowly lowered, mixed with a few scoldings, but scolding and scolding, after all, this is Sunset City, no one dares to ignore the laws of the dynasty here, this is a capital crime of beheading.

"Master Jun, you see ......," Lu Qi smiled like a fox.

"Lord Shirou's words have tormented us, no problem, let's go in, if it's an outsider, it's in the setting sun

Be careful. ”

The sergeant smiled at him, the careful silver ticket was wet with sweat in the palm of his hand, and he stuffed the ticket into the shoe by the act of plastering the shoe, thinking that he could go to Qinhuai River tonight to find a young lady to have a good time, and by the way, he could save some money to marry his daughter-in-law.

When you pass through the gate of Sunset City, it is like walking in the night.

Chu Xianzhao rode a white horse side by side with Lu Qi, and could vaguely hear the noise of the sergeants and walkers behind him, until the sound gradually disappeared into the dark long hole, and every few steps he could see a ray of light coming in through the crack, as if passing through one long door after another.

Chu Xianzhao asked, "Lord Lu, can the sergeants in Luoyang City use money to open the way?"

Lu Qi smiled evilly and said: "Money can make ghosts grind, Lord Shen has a very famous saying, saying that as long as you have enough money in your pocket, you can even let the queen of a country climb onto your bed and spread her legs and call you to be the emperor, not to mention these soldiers who eat with their mouths, no one wants to get along with money, Luoyang City is the largest city in the world, the people in the city are mixed, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, the sergeants just want to be embarrassed, if they can still make some money, why not?"

"The people in Sunset City are very arrogant, because they want to show their pride, so they are disdainful of the foreign population, as long as you don't touch their mold, generally no one will be unhappy with you, but you still have to be cautious. ”

After coming out of the bridge cave, Chu Xianzhao found that this Xiongcheng was really the largest city in the world, the road was wide enough to allow six carriages to move forward at the same time, towering tall buildings, green giant trees, beautiful road scenery, the guests in the restaurant were talking, and the proud tone was the same as the people in Lin'an City, making him think that he was going home in a trance.

On the way, Chu Xianzhao and Lu Qi talked to each other, so that they could have a general understanding of the current pattern of the Daqing Dynasty, it turned out that the true face of this so-called Dragon City was not so golden as it seemed in front of him, but more like a rancid dragon corpse wrapped in gold leaf.

Daqing Emperor Zhao Wentian has been on the throne for more than a year, and his age is not much older than himself, greedy and lustful is easy to get angry, so that the court officials have to be frightened every time they go to the book.

The first emperor had clearly established that the women of the harem were not allowed to interfere in politics, but the empress dowager Huang Yu's throne was in charge of the 30,000 eunuch army in Luoyang City, and even some of the court officials were the queen mother's party, and even the second princess, Queen Zhao's hand, was stretched out to the court to engage in an invisible game.

Especially after the fiasco in the Battle of Concubine Pass, the contradictions within the court broke out for a while, if it weren't for Chu Xuanzhao's defection to Daqing, I'm afraid they would have panicked by now.

After Long Wumastiff led the dragoons to defeat Feizi Pass, the position of the commander of the capital was temporarily removed, and the emperor was idle in Sunset City, and there was nothing to do.

Chu Xianzhao frowned and said, "Long Wumastiff is actually in Sunset City?"

The people of the Daqing Dynasty only knew that the prince of Yinguo was born with purple eyes, and there were no obvious characteristics about him in people's mouths.

The only people in Qingguo who have really seen Chu Xuanzhao are Long Wumastiff and Empress Zhao, and now the Wang Xi in his body has fallen silent, and even the Tai'a Sword cannot be used, and the only thing that can save his life is this hand swordsmanship, but this is okay, at least Empress Zhao will not detect the divine weapon aura in his body again.

But the most tricky thing still appeared, the Eastern Emperor Bell lost in the battle of Yan Mang actually fell into the hands of Empress Zhao, so it seems that Yan Mang and Shu Yue formed an alliance and took the initiative to provoke a war against the Yin State, and there must be Empress Zhao's handwriting.

Compared with the puppet-like little emperor in Lu Qi's mouth, Empress Zhao is the most tricky person in the Daqing imperial family, this woman not only has scheming means, but her strength is even stronger than the world, as long as she is willing, she can plunge the city into fire at any time.

At this time, before the beginning of winter, fine snow fell from the sky and drifted into the city, falling on Chu Xianzhao's hair, which was whiter than snow, as if he had brought him a white hat.

"Uncle Lu, I think the cold on your side of the Southern Continent is completely different from the cold on our side of the Northern Regions. ”

Lu Wei explained: "As you said, the dry and cold in the northern region will not be able to enter the body as long as you wear thick clothes, but this side of the southern continent is different, if you are given an ice rain after the snow, it will be cold to the bones, no matter how many clothes you wear, it doesn't matter, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, our people here in the southern continent are shrewd and capable, and the character of the businessman is even more lukewarm, and the face is in place and the air is rich, which is not as bold and direct as you people in the northern regions." ”

"Uncle Lu doesn't think that the current winter seems to be colder than before. ”

"When I was a child, my father forced me to go to the yard to practice calligraphy, and the winter was even colder. ”

"Well, when I think about it this way, the winter when I was forced to practice calligraphy by my sister is also very cold, but I don't mean that, it's really cold, the kind of cold that winter is coming. ”

"You mean, maybe it has something to do with the cloud qi machine going back to the world?"

"I think it should-"

"It's a sword match!"

Chu Xianzhao's thoughts were pulled back to reality by this shout, and he looked in the direction of the sound, and the crowd of black oppressors gathered in front of the martial arts platform, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the two swordsmen standing with swords and their eyes wide open.

During this period of time, in addition to the six kings who caused a sensation in Luoyang City to enter the city, many swordsmen and swordsmen from the six countries went to Luoyang to compete in the martial arts platform, and the young swordsmen in the Qinglian Sword Sect of the Tang Kingdom were even more thousands of miles away

The guests also went to Luoyang, even the Tianchi Sword Sect, which was rarely born in the hidden world of Zhejiang and Han Dynasty, also had outstanding swordsmen who went to Luoyang, as well as the cultivation of the ancient flow of killing swords, and the sword was only for killing people and not for saving people, and the people in the rivers and lakes called the dead snakes of the Dark Sword Sect, and now this group of notorious swordsmen also appeared in Luoyang City.

This time, the six kings went to Luoyang, and for some reason, together with the swordsmen of the Sword Sect in their own country, also went to Luoyang with their lord, not so much like King Qin, but now it is more like a martial arts competition between countries.

In front of the martial arts platform, the sword watchers do not care about the three religions and nine streams, looking at the swordsmen in green shirts when they compete with the sword, they will raise their arms and shout, and some people spend a lot of money to invite the Oiran beauties in the building to cheer for their favorite swordsmen, so the vicinity of the martial arts platform has always been full of people, and there are many noble children in the city of Luoyang in the crowd watching the battle, in addition to coming to see them to compete with swords, there is also to screen a swordsman with high martial arts for himself, and spend a lot of money to invite him to his own house as a guest, if some of the down-and-out swordsmen on the stage are favored by them at a glance, they will not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives, and they will try their best to win the opponent in front of them, the heart of fame and fortune is not ordinarily heavy.

Lu Qi smiled and said: "I used to like to watch these swordsmen compete, simply make an appointment at will, jump on the stage and compare, just click until you go." ”

"What if you accidentally kill your opponent?"

"The sword has no eyes, who would have expected that he would die after he was alive before the sword, so he would agree before the competition, if it is an ordinary competition, it will be possible to divide the winner and loser, if it is a life and death game, you need to cut off your sleeve, use it as blood to write your name, and send it to the opponent by hand, if the opponent accepts, you must also cut off your sleeve and write your name. ”

"Shouldn't it be acceptable?"

"Whatever, but if someone really hands over such clothes and a bloody letter to you, as a young man with strong blood, if you take it, you may lose your life, but if you don't take it, then it will be dignity to lose it. ”

At that time, most of the problems between people were not the problems of dignity? Chu Xianzhao had such a thought in his heart.
