The capital of Zhongzhou is naturally the capital of the gods - the official name is "the imperial capital city", but probably since the time of the emperor Yihai, it has been called the "divine capital", and gradually both the official and the people have called the city that flies in the sky. On the contrary, the name "Imperial Capital City" is rarely used unless it is a place such as a family register.

But Pan Long's destination is not Shendu.

God is a closed city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission. Unless you have the ability to break into the big array that guards the Divine Capital, it is better to honestly live in those satellite cities near the Divine Capital and wait for approval.

Of course, this is not absolute.

"Anyone" is not allowed to enter or leave without permission, but what if it is not a "person"?

If you are a long-term student and transcendent, you can get the qualification to enter and leave the Shendu freely, and you don't even need to apply.

Unless someone specifically activates it, the Guardian Array of the Divine Capital will not stop the Immortals at all.

But Pan Long is still far from immortality, and he hasn't even succeeded in cultivating the unity of heaven and man.

So he can only live in the satellite city for the time being, like everyone else, waiting in line.

Fortunately, he didn't need to rush into the city.

Because the person he wants to see usually does not live in the city of God.

"Nanxia City ......" Pan Long looked at the plaque hanging on the city gate, nodded, and lined up in the line to enter the city, like an ordinary pedestrian, there was nothing special.

The meeting place agreed between Cangyuan and him was in this Southern Xia City.

The land of Kamito is narrow, and there are only a few residences other than the imperial palace and official residence. If Cangyuan wants to live in the Shendu, he will either live in the Yushitai or live in the "Six Generals' Mansion" - the left and right generals of the front army, the left and right generals of the middle army, and the left and right generals of the rear army, collectively known as the six generals, are the forbidden army of the imperial court, responsible for defending the Shendu. His father, Cang Min, is the current right general of the rear army and one of the most trusted ministers of the Son of Heaven.

The six generals of the forbidden army naturally have mansions in the divine capital. But Cangyuan is not too young, and he also needs his own mansion.

As a mere five-grade servant of the imperial history, of course he is not qualified to own a house in the divine capital. So his house was in a satellite city around the Divine Capital—not elsewhere, in Nanxia City.

There are many satellite cities around the Shendu, and the four cities of East Spring, Southern Summer, Western Autumn, and Northern Winter have a long history and are also extremely prosperous. These four cities, also known as the four cities of the southeast, the northwest, or the four cities of spring, summer, autumn and winter, each of them is no less than the ordinary state capital, as for those small satellite cities, there are simply countless of them.

Generally speaking, civil officials mostly preferred to live in the eastern city, military generals mostly preferred to live in the western city, merchants and students preferred to live in the southern city, and foreign countries and hundred workers mostly lived in the northern city.

Cangyuan was born in a military general's family, and he was a civil official, but he didn't live in Dongcheng or Xicheng, but bought a house in Nancheng and became neighbors with a group of scholars who studied here to prepare for exams.

When Pan Long came to serve the Imperial Shi Cangfu, a group of scholars were drinking and chanting poems here to discuss national affairs.

Cang Yuan was very happy about Pan Long's arrival, and even went out to greet him in person.

This seemed to offend some people, and Pan Long followed him to the banquet hall, where he saw more than one scholar throwing unfriendly glances at him.

(What's going on with these people?)

He frowned, pondered for a moment, and felt that these scholars should regard themselves as competitors.

Cangyuan, as a close confidant of Di Luonan and a cadre of the Imperial Historical Observatory, although his grade is not high, he has a high status in the imperial court. If you can get his appreciation, you may be able to work in the Imperial Historical Observatory - as we all know, the Imperial Historical Observatory is a good springboard, and many civil officials first work in the Imperial Historical Observatory for a few years, and then transfer to other departments, so as to soar.

Not only that, if you can get to know Di Luonan through the abyss and get Di Luonan's appreciation, then you will directly soar into the sky!

Since Di Luonan presided over the reform of the law, he has actively selected talents and appointed a large number of young officials. Although these officials are doing a similar job as patrolling the wind for the time being, everyone knows that once the initial results of the reform of the law are achieved, these first officials who will participate in the reform will certainly be promoted and become the pillars of the comprehensive reform of the law.

It's really a step to the top!

But not to mention Di Luonan, even Cangyuan is not so easy to please - if they are very easy to fool, how can they persuade so many civil and military officials to promote the reform of the law?

Therefore, these scholars in the banquet hall don't know how much time and energy it took to catch the line of the abyss. Looking at what they are wearing, you can see that they are still white and have not yet become officials.

He was valued by Cangyuan, and even went to the gate to greet him in person, in the eyes of some people, he was born out of thin air and robbed them of their opportunity!

Thinking of this, Pan Long couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

(It's really a temple demon with a big wind and a shallow water!) I didn't expect that I would get into trouble when I first arrived.) ）

(These people should be considered the team of Di Luonan and Cangyuan, but they are nothing more than that...... The so-called young elite of the Great Xia Dynasty is like this. ）

Cangyuan turned his back to Pan Long, naturally he couldn't see his expression - it was useless to see it, Pan Long's acting skills are getting better and better now, and ordinary people don't want to see through his mind at all.

The master of Shi Cang's Mansion coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention, and then introduced Pan Long to everyone.

He spoke very politely, and held Pan Long very high, what a "young talent", what a "future light of Daxia martial arts", what "longevity"...... Anyway, no matter how good it sounds, if it weren't for the fact that Pan Long had already been vigilant in his heart, he was afraid that he would be carried away by him, and even feel like a confidant with him.

Then he fooled him.

But Pan Long certainly won't.

He won't forget that he's a thief.

Not only is he Pan Long himself an anti-thief, but their Pan family is also a family of anti-thieves, his teacher is the number one anti-thief in the world, and his fiancée's good sister is a prospective anti-thief who wants to be a female emperor......

He is destined to be enemies with the emperor's family, with the imperial court, with Di Luonan and Cangyuan!

So in the face of Cangyuan's praise, he just smiled but didn't say anything.

But his attitude is taken for granted by some as "arrogant and rude".

A handsome scholar couldn't help but say: "Cangyu Shi, we are discussing national affairs, what are you looking for a martial artist from the countryside to do?"

"yes. Immediately, someone chimed in, "In terms of martial arts, I believe that this Pan Shaoxia must be a first-class master in the world." But no matter how high the martial arts are, what does it have to do with changing the law?"

"That's right, since ancient times, there have only been those who have fought on horseback, but there is no such thing as governing the country on horseback, after all, it still depends on people who read and reason. ”

Seeing that the scholars were gossiping and their attitudes were getting worse and worse, Pan Long just smiled and didn't say anything.

He didn't plan to be reused, and he came to Zhongzhou just to see the excitement.

If Di Luo Nan and Cang Yuan really valued him and reused him, he would feel troublesome and didn't know what to do.

After all, his goal is to rebel!

Seeing that everyone was talking about it, and the wind direction was gradually unanimous and xenophobic, Cang Yuan frowned.

After a while, he smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a saying that 'it is a pleasure to have friends from afar'. Whether Pan Shaoxia knows how to govern the country or not, he is a guest when he comes from afar, I think he should be friendly to guests, what do you think?"

His words were very polite, but also a little lacking in strength, and the scholars naturally did not buy it.

It was still the handsome scholar who said: "Cang Yushi is right, we should indeed treat Pan Shaoxia with courtesy." Pan Shaoxia came from afar, and he was tired of traveling, so I thought he should be arranged to rest first. ”

Cang Yuan frowned and looked at Pan Long.

Pan Long sighed again in his heart - this Cangyuan is a close confidant of the Star Killer Emperor Luo Nan, but his personality is a little softer.

Looking at his soft appearance, I really can't imagine that he is actually a master from a military general's family, and even has cultivated to the peak of the first [apex] heaven, and is close to the realm of real people.

...... As soon as they met just now, Pan Long had already felt that Cangyuan's breath was not let go, but from time to time he accidentally leaked a trace of it, it was that he had cultivated to the peak of his innate nature, and was in the realm of perfection, preparing for stepping into the realm of real people.

Calculating his age, Cangyuan is only in his early thirties. If nothing else, he should be able to cultivate into a real person before the age of forty.

A real person grandmaster who is less than forty years old is an outstanding genius junior in the entire Great Xia, and Cangyuan should have been more confident and domineering.

Pan Long recalled the situation when he saw Cangyuan a few times ago, and found that this Di Luonan's cronies seemed to have a really soft personality.

Perhaps, he was by nature.

(Perhaps, it is precisely because of his soft personality that he can get along so well with Di Luonan?)

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "This scholar is right, I should also rest and rest." ”

Cang Yuan showed a wry smile, he naturally knew that this was not very good. But now that Pan Longdu has relented, it seems that there is no need for him to insist on his opinion.

So he hesitated slightly, but still called the butler and asked the housekeeper to accompany Pan Long to the guest room with the maid.

Away from the hall, the butler, who looked like he was about forty on the outside, sighed and said, "Young master, he doesn't have the intention to snub your guests, there are so many things to change the law, and he has to be busy every day......

Pan Long nodded: "Juniors understand." As an important minister of the imperial court, he should naturally focus on national affairs. ”

The maid smiled: "Young master, he is just a fifth-grade minister, what kind of minister." Pan Gongzi don't make fun of it. ”

Pan Long smiled slightly and did not say anything more about this topic.

Cangyuan's official position is indeed not high, but he is a close confidant of Di Luonan, and Di Luonan is currently presiding over the entire law change affairs.

Don't look at Cangyuan as the servant of the Imperial History Tower, in fact, what he does is only equivalent to the secretary of the prime minister, and he is humble and powerful. National events or something, I think he is definitely qualified to participate.

For the current Great Xia Imperial Court, changing the law is a top priority!

...... Oh, probably not.

Perhaps for the current Great Xia court, the most important thing is to recover the face and majesty lost because the emperor was killed.

But that's not easy, and it's not very realistic.

If you want to save face, the best way is to arrest Bi Lingkong and put him to death—obviously, the Great Xia Imperial Court can't do this kind of thing.

The second class can allow the Emperor Cangqiong to come forward to stabilize the army's morale - although the Great Xia Imperial Court announced to the public that the Emperor Cangqiong was only seriously injured and did not die, but whether it was Bi Lingkong, Lanling Situation, or Lie Yukou, they all felt that he was dead.

If Emperor Cangqiong hadn't died, he would have come out to meet people a long time ago!

Thinking about it, the so-called "King Wucheng is still here" is just a lie to fool people.

The last way for the Great Xia Dynasty to save face was to find out and eliminate the masters of the Hundred Schools of Princes.

It should be easier to say, after all, there are hundreds of families, and the strength does not seem to be very strong. But until now, the Great Xia Dynasty has not been able to catch the tail of the hundred schools of thought.

In the past thousand years, the hundreds of schools of thought have been hiding in Tibet, accumulating rich experience and making a lot of preparations. It's easier said than done to find them again in a hurry!

The only thing that the Great Xia court can be sure of is probably the Pai Jiao.

When the Emperor Firmament was ambushed before, the big array that covered the valley was the Luo Tian Great Array of the Pai Sect. And the masters who preside over the big array, the key is naturally the leaders of the platoon.

But the rehearsal has long been prepared. The imperial court traced down and only seized many of the industries that were repatriated, as for the personnel...... None were found.

I don't know where the platoon ran to!

But Pan Long knows some inside things.

The loyal members and important personnel of the Pai Sect have already secretly left Kyushu.

They left very early, even before the Dragon Boat Festival ambushed the emperor's firmament.

Now that the Great Xia Imperial Court wants to find them again, it will be difficult.

In the realm of Kyushu, the Great Xia Dynasty naturally had supreme authority. But when you leave Kyushu and go to other countries, who will buy the account of the Great Xia Dynasty?

It's okay if people don't turn around and trouble you!

In the past period of time, the entire work of the Great Xia Dynasty to save face was to arrest a large number of green forest people who participated in the attack on various parts of Zhongzhou, exterminated a large number of mountain bandits and water bandits, and cut off many heads.

According to Pan Long's understanding, especially in the Yongzhou area.

In just over a month, more than 100 mountain bandits and water bandits were exterminated in Yongzhou, plus some lone robbers or those who did not occupy the mountains as kings, and more than 10,000 heads were cut off.

After cutting off so many heads in one go, the atmosphere in Yongzhou has greatly improved. Nowadays, although Yongzhou does not dare to say that "the road is not left behind, and the door is not closed at night", at least in the town, a person who goes out in the middle of the night does not have to worry about encountering robbers.

...... The robbers who dared to go out to commit crimes at this time had already been caught by the court officials who were already red-eyed, and their heads were cut off with a click, which became their own credit.

waited until he stayed in the guest room, Pan Long could still faintly hear the words of the scholars in the banquet hall in front of him.

"The top priority of the imperial court is to hunt down the hundred schools of thought. Although many bandits have been eliminated, it still takes a few weighty heads to deter the Quartet!"

Listening to the voice, it was the handsome scholar who spoke.
