The next day, Rong Yuanhang got up early in the morning. He cultivated under a big plane tree in the courtyard without washing his teeth or brushing his face, and generally there was nothing important, he would spend some time cultivating in the early morning, which basically became a habit. In this martial world, almost everyone is cultivating, and even the servants in the compound will try to spare some time to practice martial arts.

Xiao Xue got up earlier than him, she lived in the north main house, and there was a small back garden behind this row of rooms, which was the most quiet, so in order not to disturb Rong Yuanhang, she chose to practice in the back garden.

An hour later, Rong Yuanhang took in his energy, and his upper body was slightly sweaty. The maid in the courtyard had already prepared a clean towel and served it in her hand, until she saw that he had finished practicing, then she came over and handed over the towel and said softly: "Young master, you wipe your face." ”

"Thank you." Rong Yuanhang took the towel and smiled at her, and the girl named Peony turned red on the spot.

"Your name is Peony, right? Please fetch water, I'm going to wash my face and wash my teeth. ”

Peony bowed his head and said: "Young master, your memory is good, the slave maid is called Peony, and the slave maid and Sister Tingzhi have been transferred since yesterday." The housekeeper said, let's come over to serve you and Mrs. Xiao, and we will be your young master in the future. Oh, by the way, the water is already ready, so let's get you a toothbrush. ”

Rong Yuanhang looked at her busy and felt very happy in his heart. I think this woman is no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and wonderful, fair complexion, and beautiful and attractive. Recall the other maid Ting Zhi last night, her round face and eyes are very bright, her red lips and white teeth are very smiling, and she is about sixteen or seventeen years old. Tingzhi's height is slightly shorter than this peony, but it is well developed and has a particularly plump figure. Forward and convex, sexy and enchanting.

Mingzhu Pavilion is his current residence, and the two maid rings, Peony and Tingzhi, including Xiaowu Ping'an, and a servant Chen Haodi, are the four subordinates specially given to him by his grandfather Wang Dujie.

Other words. From now on, these four people only belong to Rong's slaves, so they do not call themselves descendants of the Wang family, nor do they call Rong Yuanhang 'uncle,' but 'young master'.

Under the service of the little maid peony, Rong Yuanhang was dressed neatly. Taking advantage of the free time of the past few days, he planned to use this time to spy on the Extreme Imperial Sect, a long-time confidant. So, he decided to go out again. Go to the territory of the Gokugo Sect to find out the situation in person.

When he came out of the front yard, he called the little servant Ping'an and asked, "Do you know where the branch altar of the Black Iron City of the Extreme Imperial Sect is?" ”

Ping'an replied: "I know, young master, the Extreme Imperial Sect is powerful and prestigious, and there is no one who lives in Black Iron City who does not know the Extreme Imperial Sect." Their altar is on the side of Huangkang Avenue in the center of the city. It's still two or three hundred miles away. ”

"Two or three hundred miles? So far from the city center? Rong Yuanhang couldn't help but be stunned.

"Young master, Huangkang Avenue is not really the center of the city." Ping An knew that this master had just arrived and didn't know anything, so he explained: "The city lord's mansion is the real center of the city, which is comparable to the imperial palace of a country, very large and wide. ”

Rong Yuanhang thought about it for a while. said: "Ping'an, you lead the way, let's go to the territory of the Extreme Imperial Sect today......"

The two went out of the gate, did not use their own carriage in the house, but stopped a carriage at the corner of the street and went straight to Huangkang Avenue.

In the carriage. Rong Yuanhang asked with some curiosity: "Ping'an, you said that there is still a city lord's mansion in Black Iron City?" ”

"yes." Ping An was a little speechless, such a big thing, his master didn't even know!

"There must be a city lord in the City Lord's Mansion, right? Then tell me, what is the origin of this city lord? Rong Yuanhang then asked.

Ping An thought for a while and said, "Young Master, the current city lord's name is Dongfang Zhengde, a member of the Dongfang family, and the royal family of the Dashun Kingdom and the seventh brother of the current Dashun Emperor. ”

"Oh?" Rong Yuanhang was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "The people of the Dongfang family are the city lords, don't the other major forces have any opinions?" For example, Ji Yuzong, I heard that there was a conflict with the Dongfang family, right? Could it be that it was so easy for them to let someone from the Dongfang family become the city lord? ”

Ping'an was a little sluggish when he asked, how could he know so much about himself as a subordinate? However, after living in Black Iron City for a long time, they still don't know much about some things, so the two sat in the carriage, and the servant talked to the master intermittently all the way......

……

Because of the natural excellent port and the surrounding fertile land resources, people have taken advantage of it, and for thousands of years, countless people have gone through countless hardships and crossed the ocean to pan for gold, dreaming of making a fortune. Today, the city has a permanent population of more than one billion, and the residential area is very dense.

Such a huge city is no less than a huge country, although the Black Iron City is not exclusive to any one country, but it is not as chaotic as Rong Yuanhang imagined. This is all thanks to the administrative body of the city, the 'City Lord's Mansion', which manages the huge city in an orderly manner.

The Castle Lord's Mansion has the right to tax all commercial activities in the entire Black Iron City, whether it is shops, bodyguards, docks, airlines, real estate, minerals, factories and workshops, and population. Trading, mercenary unions, field farming, and so on. Its area of administration covers a thousand kilometers outside the city, but all the population within this area will be under the strong jurisdiction of the city lord's government.

The main components of this body of the City Lord's Mansion: the supreme leader is the City Lord, the Senate, the power of these two institutions check and balance each other, the Senate is composed of seven forces in the Black Iron City (including: Tang Li Family, Tianshou Xuanyuan Family, Tianshun Dongfang Family, Barbarian Jin Family, and Universal Religion, Jiyuzong, Changchun Gate), there are only seven members, and each family sends one person to serve.

The power of the city lord is very great, and he has over two huge military and security agencies, the city patrol army and the city law enforcement corps, which number two million terrorist forces. They are the specific executors of the city's policing and taxation.

The key position of the city lord is held by outstanding figures sent by the seven major forces every twenty years. Of course, before this city lord can take office, he must also pass the assessment of the other six major forces: he must have a good reputation, have outstanding leadership skills, and have reached the first rank of martial saint in his own force to be qualified.

Behind power often means huge interests, so every 20 years there is a round of power change, and the grassroots leaders in the military also change most frequently, each of them with henchmen to achieve the goal of ultimately controlling the overall situation.

"So that's the case," Rong Yuanhang finally understood, and said to himself: "The power of this city lord is really ridiculously great. With an army of two million? So wouldn't the Dongfang family destroy whoever they wanted? ”

Regarding Rong Yuanhang's self-talk, the little guy Ping'an couldn't answer, how could a lowly subordinate guess the affairs of the big man.

The carriage departed from the palace in the north of the city and traveled 150 kilometers through the crowds of people along the way. After four or five hours, I came to the vicinity of the Extreme Imperial Sect Altar.

"Two guest officers, Huangkang Avenue has arrived." The coachman finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that there would be an accident along the way. You must know that the people in the Black Iron City are also a martial artist or above, and he can't afford to offend any of the ordinary people who work hard, and he rarely walks such a long way in one go, if it weren't for the generous remuneration promised by Rong Yuanhang, he would have wanted to refuse to take it.

"Is it there?" Rong Yuanhang and Ping An jumped out of the carriage. Move your body, and after sitting in the car for so long all the way, Ping An is even numb in the buttocks.

"Thank you for your hard work, give, don't look for it." Rong Yuanhang took out a golden ticket with a minimum amount of one hundred taels from his arms and handed it over. When he came, he had negotiated the price, and the carriage and horse fare were four taels of gold, but he didn't bother to renew it now.

The coachman was overjoyed, and wanted to take it and say thank you. Suddenly, Ping'an's eyes widened and he shouted, "Wait! ”

"What? Surprised? His loud voice startled even Rong Yuanhang. Glancing at him dissatisfied.

Ping An looked at the hundred taels of golden tickets, and said with a flushed face: "Young master, I have change here." Last night, the account office in the house came to look for it, and gave the little one ten taels of blue crystal as your pocket money for the young master. ……”

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out four gold coins, pushed the money handed over by Rong Yuanhang with one hand, and said to the coachman, "Here you go." Four taels of gold is a lot! ”

The coachman's face suddenly turned from ecstasy to bitter gourd, and the hundred taels of gold tickets that came to his hand were unexpectedly disturbed by this little guy.

However, Rong Yuanhang said: "Peace, forget it, since I have already given it." There's no need to take it back. ”

"Huh?" Ping'an was very painful: "Young master, this, this is a hundred taels of golden tickets!" ”

"I know, give, don't say much. Let's go......" Rong Yuanhang stuffed it again. This time, the horseman almost grabbed it and put the hundred taels of gold tickets in his arms.

Ping An said angrily: "It's right for you!" ”

Rong Yuanhang shook his head amusedly, ignoring the two of them, his attention had already been attracted by the prosperity here.

Compared with this world, Huangkang Street is built very wide, just like a square, with people coming and going, and it is very lively. Occasionally, a number of samurai in taupe robes passed by. He knew that this gray-brown battle robe was the clothing of the grassroots disciples of the Extreme Imperial Sect.

The streets are full of tourists, and the noise is endless. The shops on both sides are carved and painted, magnificent, but they are lined up one after another, densely packed, Rong Yuanhang turned his head and asked: "Ping'an, where did you say the branch altar of the Extreme Imperial Sect is?" ”

"I don't know exactly which direction, young master, the little one hasn't been here, I just heard that it's one of the ......families in this Huangkang Street," Ping An replied apologetically.

"Oh." Rong Yuanhang didn't care, and suddenly saw a man and a woman coming from not far away, this man was a middle-aged man's face, his appearance was delicate and elegant, but his dress was extremely ordinary. And the woman looks like she is fourteen or fifteen years old, like a porcelain doll carved in pink and jade, although she is also dressed in a thorn fork cloth skirt, but she always feels that this girl has an extraordinary grace and nobility.

However, Rong Yuanhang didn't care what the identity of the people was, so he stopped them and asked, "This uncle, do you know how to go to the Extreme Imperial Sect?" ”

The man stopped and stood casually, which actually made people feel like they were standing still, he looked at Rong Yuanhang, and pointed in front of him expressionlessly: "Is the Extreme Imperial Sect Dividing Altar,...... Walk three hundred zhang to the front street, and the opposite side of the world tavern is. ”

"Thank you for that." Rong Yuanhang said that he wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't help but glance at the girl next to the other party, and only felt that this girl looked too cute. Her skin is like clotted fat, Chu Chu is moving, and her beautiful is superb, her big watery eyes, as pure as a baby, touch Rong Yuanhang's gaze. The girl was a little curious.

"There is such a special girl in the world, tsk, it's so cute!" Rong Yuanhang didn't look at it for a long time, it seemed impolite, but he muttered in his heart, that girl was really unforgettable.

……

Walk through the bustling streets with peace. It didn't take long for a rather imposing building to appear on the left. This is a five-storey restaurant, flying eaves and arches, Hongtu Huafu, the huge plaque with a few dragons and phoenixes dancing in black characters - the world restaurant!

"What a big breath!" Rong Yuanhang sighed secretly, thinking that the owner of this restaurant was really domineering, and he actually took this name.

On the opposite street of Tianxia Lou Liquor, there is a house-like gate in the middle of a line of shops. This gate occupies a very large area, and it is actually a seven-bay room. In the center of the lintel is written: "The Black Iron City Branch Altar of the Extreme Imperial Sect".

There are a total of eight sect disciples wearing brown battle robes guarding the left and right of the gate. Looking through the gate, it was blocked by a wide wall, and the environment inside could not be seen clearly.

"It turns out that this is the nest of the disciples of the Extreme Imperial Sect!" Rong Yuanhang stood under a shop a hundred meters away from the diagonal opposite, looking at it in a daze, but he was full of thoughts.

"Young Master."

"Young master......" Ping'an saw that he was stunned for a while and didn't react, so he couldn't help but shout.

"Huh?"

"Well, where are we going now?" Ping An said with some embarrassment. In fact, he just wanted to remind the master. I'm so hungry.

Rong Yuanhang looked at the Tianxia Restaurant next to him and said, "Let's go." Let's go to dinner. ”

Peace and joy, this is in the middle of the heart, and he hurriedly followed the master directly into the restaurant.

A heat wave came, and it turned out that it was full of diners, and it seemed that the business of this restaurant was extremely prosperous. Ping An glanced around, wanting to occupy a seat for the young master. There are so many people that there are no tables left. Moreover, most of these diners were dressed in silk and satin, and they were obviously either rich or noble, and he couldn't help but feel a little inferior.

"Little two. Don't have a place anymore? Rong Yuanhang grabbed a hurried cousin and asked.

"Yes, yes, but there is only upstairs, upstairs is a private seat, and the consumption limit on each floor is different, and the highest is the private seat on the fifth floor." The cousin replied quickly.

Rong Yuanhang was looking for a high place to look at the environment inside the Extreme Imperial Sect opposite, so he said, "Okay, let's go up to the fifth floor." ”

"Fifth floor?" The cousin was stunned for a moment, and his old and sophisticated eyes quickly looked at the master and servant in front of him, and said, "Okay, please come with the little one...... honored guest."

Along the jade carved ladder, after a while, the hall led the two up to the fifth floor, suddenly, I felt that the whole world was quiet, there was no noise downstairs, a faint sandalwood fragrance wafted into the nose, in the dining room on the fifth floor, there were only two or three tables of diners, it seemed particularly quiet.

"Huh?" Rong Yuanhang saw at a glance that there were only two people sitting at the table by the window in the south, a middle-aged uncle and a beautiful girl were sitting, however, these two people were the men and women who were stopped and asked for directions on the road just now.

"Please, officer, which side do you like to sit on?" The cousin asked.

Rong Yuanhang pointed to a row of dining tables by the window and said, "Just sit there." ”

While approaching with peace, he smiled and said, "Two, what a coincidence!" ”

The middle-aged man and the girl were also stunned when they saw their master and servant coming, the former just nodded lightly, but continued to eat with his head down, as if he was more interested in the dishes on the table.

The same was true of the girl, who only glanced at him and stopped paying attention, and her little mouth kept moving, and she seemed to be eating very deliciously.

Rong Yuanhang was bored, he shrugged his shoulders, picked a position, and sat down with the master and servant. At this time, the cousin said, "What does the guest officer want?" In line with the principle of being responsible for the guests, the small one once again reminded the two guests that the minimum consumption on the fifth floor here is one hundred taels of aquamarine ...... per person"

"What?" Ping An Huo Ran stood up, glared at him and asked in shock: "You, you said a hundred taels of blue crystal?" ”

"Not bad." The cousin replied with disdain.

"Are you, sure? Not a hundred taels of silver? ”

"Puff ......"

Suddenly, at a table of people next door not far away, one of the men burst into laughter: "Where is the old hat? Xiao Er, how can this kind of place allow ignorant untouchables to mix in? ”

Rong Yuanhang frowned when he heard this, turned his head to look over, and suddenly shouted, "Grass!" Heaven has a way you don't go...... Uh, how come? ”

The people at that table were three men and one woman, the woman was about twenty-nine years old, her skin was better than snow, her peach cheeks were smiling, her beautiful eyes were longing, and her temperament was elegant and noble, but her pretty face revealed a resentful pride.

The other three men, generally in their early thirties, Rong Yuanhang looked at the fluctuations in the aura on his body, obviously he had the cultivation of the first level of the Martial Sect, but it was the youngest beauty, with a strict bearing and extraordinary coldness, but it was the peak of the Martial Sect that produced a unique aura.

However, he knew all these three men and one woman, but it was more than five hundred years later: the woman's name was Hua Ghost Fairy, and at that time she was already the foreign affairs elder of the Extreme Imperial Sect, and she had the cultivation of the peak of the Martial King. The other three men, their names are Che Customs, Huang Songzi, and You Taihao.

When Rong Yuanhang saw them, his eyes were immediately reflexive, and he was furious, because these four people were the murderers who killed Xu Lan, Bai Chan, Yam, Qiu Gu and others five hundred and thirty years later!!

When he recognized them at a glance, he wanted to rush up and kill all four of them, but he suddenly remembered that this was at the door of the Extreme Imperial Sect, and besides, they didn't kill anyone now, it happened more than five hundred years later!

Therefore, Rong Yuanhang immediately braked to control his emotions.

"What? Cowardly? No more swearing? It was the man named Che Shu who spoke, and he was also the one who smiled Ping'an just now and was the old hat. Seeing that Rong Yuanhang did not have the slightest fluctuation in his vitality, he thought that he was a martial artist who was not in the stream, so he became more and more disdainful. He snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't be embarrassed if you don't have money!" (To be continued......)
