Along the way, Bai Youling flew above the top of the clouds, covering his whereabouts. Five days later, when he was going to come down to rest in the evening, Hao Jichen found that there was a city not far away. He left Bai Youling and went into the city by himself to replenish dry food, and secondly, to inquire about the distance of the Heavenly Lotus Holy Land.

Sitting in a restaurant, after the shopkeeper served the food, Hao Jichen gave a silver ingot to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was very happy.

Hao Jichen smiled and said, "Little second brother, I have something to ask for advice below." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "Excuse me, as long as the little one knows, he must know everything." ”

"On the orders of my father, I want to go to the Heavenly Lotus Holy Land to purchase the Wood Lotus, I don't know how long it will be before the Heavenly Lotus Holy Land is here?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's not far away, the master is out of the north gate, and if you use the teleportation spirit weapon, it will only take two or three days." If it's horseback riding, it's a little longer, about ten days. If you have a sky beast such as a wind thunderbird, a thousand cloud birds, or a heavenly dragon, it will take about three days. After that, you will see 'Lotus City', and after leaving Lotus City, you can walk for half a day. ”

The teleportation weapon is now the fastest of all the ways to move. However, this teleportation spirit weapon is a little similar to Hao Jichen's teleportation, that is, after the number of times is used too much, it will cause damage to the body. Ordinary people can only use it twice a day at most, but a strong person at the level of Grandmaster Da Luo or above can use it twice more.

However, some teleportation artifacts have a short distance and can teleport a few more times, so generally speaking, the limit is not the number of times, but the distance. Twice a day, that's because you have to teleport a hundred miles at a time. Such a distance may not be able to withstand even the physical poor.

Hao Jichen calculated, two hundred miles a day, three days, that is six hundred miles. However, once you teleport, you have to take a break, although you are not feeling unwell or tired, you must not continue the second teleportation, you must rest for six hours before you can teleport again.

Usually at this time, people will buy a horse at the waypoint and ride it to the next waypoint and do a second teleport.

This time can be long or short, and it mainly depends on the individual. In six hours, it is common to ride for three hours and rest for three hours.

The distance of these three hours, the average horse, is only about 100 miles.

If you start riding, you won't be able to go at full speed all day on the road. Even if a man can stand this speed, the horse can't. If you ride a horse, the speed is not fast, and you rest on the road, which delays a lot of time. Therefore, the way for the people to travel is to replace them with spiritual weapons and horses, and the horses they buy from the teleportation are sold at the next teleportation point. Although it will be a little less, it is equivalent to giving a little money for the car.

Therefore, the distance from here to Liancheng is more than six hundred miles. According to preliminary estimates, there are at least more than 1,000 miles.

If there is a heavenly mount, there is no need for this, in terms of time, it is not much different.

The speed of a thousand miles, with a creature like a celestial dragon, about three days, is about the same. If you fly at full speed, the time will be shorter. But flying at full speed is very harmful to the body, and it is very likely that you will die due to fatigue. If it's a thousand cloud birds, the speed will be even faster, after all, the thousand cloud birds are the fastest birds.

Hao Jichen smiled and said, "Okay, thank you little second brother." ”

The shopkeeper took the silver and hurriedly said, "You're welcome, you're welcome." Please use it slowly, if there is anything that needs to be done small, just ask. ”

"Okay. You go get busy first. ”

The shopkeeper had never received so many tips, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut with joy.

Hao Jichen was eating in the restaurant while listening to others talk about his own affairs. From the tone of the people, Hao Jichen heard the fear and worry in their hearts.

"Alas, it's only been the eleventh year of peace, and it's going to be war again. ”

Someone sarcastically said: "Eleven years ago, the vitality of the Qiyang Dynasty was greatly damaged, and the imperial court lost the battle, so it had to cede land to the Nanzi Dynasty, as well as a large amount of money and tribute every year. At the same time, the barbarians of the Western Regions seized more than ten cities, and the tax revenue of the imperial court was much less. Where does the money come from? Isn't it scavenged from us ordinary people?"

"You be careful, if you let others hear it, be careful that the court will trouble you?"

The man snorted, "Now that Hao Jichen is back, does the imperial court still have time to focus on lowly people like us?"

The man sighed, and his voice was much lowered, "I heard that Hao Jichen was overseas in order to let the Shark Spirit Imperial Clan live openly, and he established a country for the Shark Spirit Imperial Family. Help the Shark Spirit Imperial Clan build a military fortress and help the Shark Spirit Imperial Family defend against foreign enemies. If only Hao Jichen..."

His companion was startled and hurriedly stopped, "You still don't shut up for me? Is Hao Jichen a good thing? He relied on his father to be the general who protected the country, and he didn't take the royal family seriously. If he had revered the royal family, he would not be in the situation he is in now. The Hao clan and the Chaolang clan will join forces to help the emperor calm the world. At that time, the Qiyang Dynasty will not be threatened by the Nanzi Dynasty, let alone those barbarians in the west and north. ”

They said very quietly, but Hao Jichen was next to him, and he could hear it if he wanted to listen to it or not. Hao Jichen served meat in his left hand and brought a pot of wine in his right hand. In order to make others think that he was going to the Heavenly Lotus Holy Land to do business, he specially ordered the best wine and food in the restaurant.

Hao Jichen was already dressed in disguise at this time, and no one could recognize him. Hao Jichen sat down with a smile and poured a glass of wine for the two. The two of them occasionally came over to drink, knowing that this wine was the best in the store.

"I listened to the two eldest brothers talk about Hao Jichen, and I was a little curious, so I came over to listen. The eldest brother thinks that the people live in poverty because of the high taxes collected by the imperial court. The eldest brother believes that it was Hao Jichen who caused the current situation. ”

"Isn't it?" said the person who thought it was all Hao Jichen's fault.

"Under the surname Wu, I don't know how to call the eldest brother?"

"My name is Ning Yao, and his name is Ning Xun. ”

Hao Jichen said: "Brother Ning Yao, if you follow what you said, Hao Jichen is obedient to the royal family. killed the princess of Shark Ling at the beginning, and now he can join forces with the Chaolang clan to calm the world for the emperor. But Brother Ningyao, do you know that Haoyu is a master of high merit. The people sang praises of virtue, do you think the emperor will stay with this one person in the end? Besides, Hao Jichen's son was already arrogant, even if he listened to the words of the eighth prince and killed Princess Shark Ling that time. But can you guarantee that the arrogant Hao Jichen will not beat the prince next time?"

Ning Xun echoed: "That's right, that's it." Hao Jichen has been a genius since he was a child, and his father is a general who protects the country, so it is normal for him to be arrogant. I heard that the eighth prince was favored by the emperor, and his personality became even more arrogant, and he often killed eunuchs and palace maids. ”

Ning Yao said: "But what does this have to do with ordinary people like me? Hao Jichen's gang is different? If this war starts, won't it be us poor people who will suffer?"

Hao Jichen sighed in his heart, people here should be used to being slaves. In their hearts, they also believe that there are high and low people. For them, as long as it is not something that happens to them, it has nothing to do with them.

Everyone thinks that it is normal for people to be high and low. The royal family is the blood of the sky, and the people are lowly people, born lowly people, and it is right to be cattle and horses for the royal family.

In fact, some of them are against this, such as Ning Xun in front of him. It's just that others are soft-spoken, and it is very rebellious to have such thoughts.

Hao Jichen asked with a smile: "Brother Ning Yao may not know that the royal magnates regard the lives of the people as ants and kill them at will. The life and death of the people are in their hands, but they are just a matter of words. Besides, Hao Jichen recaptured the three cities on the northern border. If Hao Jichen hadn't come back in time, it would be very likely that the lower cities would have been captured by Northern Youyi. In the next step, the Northern Youyi will have more resources to domesticate soldiers and attack other cities of the Qiyang Dynasty.

"And I also heard that after Hao Jichen captured the city, he didn't hurt the people. When he conquered the Crescent Islands, he didn't hurt the people in the slightest. Besides, Hao Jichen didn't show any signs of sending troops to the Qiyang Dynasty? Besides, eleven years ago, only General Haoyu was in the Great Luo Heavenly Master Heavenly Realm, and he could stop the number one god general in the world. Now the imperial court has Chao Langhui and the Seventh Emperor Blazing Yunhuan, two Great Luo Heavenly Master Heavenly Realms, and they can't even take down a Hao Jichen. You must know that Hao Jichen's spiritual method has no attack power. You can't even do this, do you still expect the two of them to be able to stop the number one god general in the world?"

Ning Xun said: "Yes, yes. Brother Wu is right,"
