Passing through the fertile loess grain-producing areas, not far from the mussels and the confluence with the Yiluo River, it is Tayundu.

"If you cross the Yiluo River from here and continue south, you can reach Jian'an Sky City, the capital of Tianxuan Prefecture." Yao Ping said.

"A city floating in the sky?" Kutsaya asked in surprise.

"It's not floating in the sky, it's hanging on the mountain wall, that kind of sky." Yao Ping racked his brains to exhaust the words of Caldo, but there were no particularly suitable words to describe Jian'an Hanging City.

"I don't really understand, but it sounds interesting." Kutsaia said.

"If you have the chance, I can take you there to see it, it's spectacular, and I'm sure you'll love it at once."

"Hmm," Kutsaia nodded expectantly.

Looking at Kutsaya looking at herself with yearning in her eyes, Yao Ping smiled slightly and said, "We still have a lot of interesting things to do in Yiluo, but you still have important things to do now, and you can't watch them one by one." ”

Kutsya glanced at Asana, who was feeding Kai, and nodded silently.

"But it's okay, we'll be able to take a boat ride on the Ilo River in a while."

When the group boarded the boat, and the boatman of the Yundu untied the cable of the boat and sailed on the calm and wide surface of the Yiluo River with white sails, Kutsaya could not hide her excitement, and the laughter between her and Asana echoed like silver bells in Yao Ping's ears.

The boat swayed slightly on the Yiluo River, and the calmness and fortitude that had been hanging on Noor's face disappeared in vain, and he nervously grasped the eaves of the plank, his face revealing a look of fear but pretending to be calm, which made Yao Ping feel a little funny. Sensing Noor's discomfort, Kutsya sat down beside him with a grin and said to him, "What do you seem afraid of, I'm the bravest warrior of Sinwa?" ”

Noor adjusted his breath before saying, "Kutsya." Me, I don't feel well. ”

Kutsaya smiled and untied his sachet from Noor's waist, then held the tip of his nose and said, "Smell your sachet, maybe this refreshing fragrance will make you feel better." ”

"Thank you, Kutthea."

The boatman sang a ballad, which was the tone of the Tianji dialect, Asana naturally couldn't understand it, and Yao Ping couldn't understand it, the two seemed to have some kind of common experience at this time, they looked at each other and smiled, looking at the rippling river, time passed quickly, and the boat swept over the gorgeous scenery on both sides.

On the journey to Luochuan, the group also passed through several large cities of Iro, but when the magnificent walls and towers of Luochuan appeared on the horizon, Asana and Kutsya were still deeply shocked.

The group finally transferred to a large passenger boat and anchored at a large pier outside the city of Luochuan. Asana looked in amazement at the mountains of goods on the docks, the endless stream of merchants and people, and stepped off the ship. She looked up at Luochuan City not far away, and felt that the towering walls of Luochuan stretched on both sides like an endless mountain ridge.

The towers built on the city walls stood like a lonely peak. As you can see from the mottled wall tiles, Asana is an ancient city that has weathered the test of countless wars. Above the huge city gate, rows of large flags fluttered, and a golden main flag was painted with the emblem of the Ilo Empire, twin flowers.

Looking at the huge crossbows sticking out of the battlements, the columns of soldiers in gold armor, and the countless hanging city defense equipment, Asana couldn't help but feel envious, she thought, if the Khaldo were united, they could build such a wall, even if it was twice as small as this, then the Azor people would not be able to invade their homeland wantonly.

Gongxiyang led them on, and when they reached the south gate of Luochuan, which Yao Ping called the red bird, Asana saw that it was crowded with people of all kinds of vendors and stalls, and the vast crowd was bustling with all kinds of transactions outside the city gate.

"Uncle, it's quite lively outside Suzaku Gate today, it seems to be a meeting day." Yao Ping looked at a tooth extraction stall passing by and said.

Gong Xiyang counted the days, and then said, "Yes, what a coincidence, today is indeed a big set." ”

There were many people at the rally, and the group walked slowly through it. Suddenly, a poorly dressed feather warrior with a dusty whisk in his hand burst out of the crowd and ran straight into Noor, who was clearing the way for Asana. Asana was very strange when he saw this man, and instead of apologizing or avoiding it after bumping into Noor, he muttered a strange spell in a low voice. Outside the Ilodi capital, Nur did not dare to act easily, he remained vigilant, looking at the person in front of him, lest he threaten Asana's safety.

Yao Ping squeezed through the crowd and saw the situation on Nur's side. He stepped forward, but he heard the feather warrior say, "The heavens are changing, disaster is coming, and if you devote yourself to the faith, you can keep it safe."

Yao Ping only felt that this person was a crazy feather warrior, so he stepped forward to say a few polite words to him, and wanted to persuade him to stay away from Nuer's side. But Yao Ping didn't want to, although the Yushi left Nur, he stopped him instead, and said to him, "Mixed Yuan is angry, which can help you avoid danger." You will take it. ”

Yao Ping saw that the feather scholar did not know when there was a small bronze mirror in his hand, and the mirror was also engraved with the Yin and Yang Pisces of the Tiandao Sect, and the most special thing was that the small bronze mirror actually had a cross-shaped grip, and the copper grip was vividly carved with several zodiac animals.

Just as Yao Ping was attracted by the bronze mirror that Yushi took out, Gongxiyang also reflexively squeezed back here from the front of the team, he didn't say a word, he came up and pushed Yushi away, and said to him with a bad attitude, "Go, go, get out of the way and lie to people." ”

Yao Ping wanted to say a few more words to that Yushi, but when he saw the crowd, he immediately drowned out the smiling face of that Yushi.

The group squeezed out of the bazaar and came to the deep and wide Nakcheon moat. Asana saw two groups of heavily armed guards standing in front of the wide drawbridge, interrogating and inspecting the merchants' subjects. So she asked Gong Xiyang, "If I enter Luochuan City, can I still carry my sword?" ”

"Sala, it's okay this time. As long as it is not a long soldier, heavy armor, bow, crossbow and arrow, and a short soldier, you can freely wear it in and out of the city. Gong Xiyang said with a smile.

"Oh? But why is it that you are not allowed to carry weapons at the border of the mountains, but this country is allowed to bring weapons in? Kutsaia asked.

"These are the rules of the imperial court, and I don't understand these things. Maybe it's because there are too many foreigners in Yaoshan Pass, and if something goes wrong, and they all have blades, it will be difficult for the Governor's Mansion to control it. Although this Luochuan is not the capital of the country, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed, and with this short soldier, it can't set off any storms. Gong Xiyang turned to Asana and said, "Don't worry, Sala, there is absolutely nothing that can make you use a weapon in Luochuan City. ”

Coming to the guard checkpoint, after some explanations and translations by Gong Xiyang and Yao Ping, the soldiers quickly registered the information of the three Khaldos and released the group into the city.

After entering the city, looking at the high walls in the city, Kutseia asked puzzledly, "I thought there would be far more shops and stalls here than outside, why are they all high walls?" ”

After hearing this, Yao Ping patiently explained, "Luochuan City is different from other cities, this is the imperial capital. The reason why you see a lot of high walls is because the whole city is divided into many courtyards and squares by high walls, each with its own different functions, some of which we can enter, and some of which we can never enter. ”

Asana looked at the walls and said, "I can't imagine that you Ilo people have planned the capital so carefully. In this case, we can't even see the residences and institutions of some important people, right? ”

"Yes, Sala, most of the dignitaries have high walls and deep courtyards, and it is difficult for small people like me to approach."

Asana turned a corner and saw that there was another endless high wall, so she said, "Yao Ping, can you tell me where your department in charge of enemy intelligence is located?" ”

Yao Ping thought for a while and said, "Among the six major prefectures, the military and military mansions are in charge of the military, so they should also be in charge of the enemy's intelligence dynamics." ”

"You take me. I want to tell them a little bit about Azor. ”

Yao Ping looked at Gong Xiyang, and then said, "I think my uncle understands this kind of dealing with the imperial court better than me. ”

Gong Xiyang nodded and said, "Bingwu Mansion, I can take you there." But as for whether you can see the officials in the government, it is difficult to say. ”

"I understand this." Asana said.

"It's a little late today, let's go to Pingyuanfang outside the West Market to stay first, and stay until tomorrow morning, I'll take you there."

Asana nodded in agreement.

Yao Ping found a small inn run by Khaldo in Pingyuanfang, and Kutsaya was very excited to talk to the innkeeper, a middle-aged Kaldo couple. Yao Ping also learned that they were originally merchants of a small tribe in Khaldo, but later lost their homes due to the invasion of the tribe by the northern nomads, so they stayed in Luochuan, and set up a small house here and started an inn business.

When the innkeeper learned that the visitor was Sinwa's Sara and his party, he enthusiastically prepared two upper rooms. Naturally, Asana and Kutsaya stayed in one of the rooms, while Gongxiyang, Yao Ping, and Nur lived in the other.

After settling down to the residence, early the next morning, Gongxi Yang took Asana to the Bingwu Mansion. And Yao Ping led Kutseya and Nur to the West Market to go shopping.

When Yao Ping and the three of them returned to the inn from a walk around the West Market, they were slightly surprised to find that Asana was already sitting in the hall of the inn.

"Asana Sala, did my uncle take you to meet the people of the Hyobu Mansion?" Yao Ping stepped forward and asked.

Asana shook her head, "No, the soldiers at the gate said that the commander there was not there, and I didn't see them. ”

"What about the uncle?"

"He said help me figure it out."

"Oh, my uncle is well-informed, and he should be able to do it. It's a big deal, I'll just go again tomorrow. Yao Ping comforted Asana.

But after seven or eight days, although Gongxi Yang also took Asana to the Bingwu Mansion several times, the result was the same, the officials of the Bingwu Mansion did not accept visits throughout the day.

Feeling a sense of loss after not being able to see Iro's officials for a long time, Asana wanders around the East City in the company of Kutsya that day.

Kutsaya took a fancy to a small hair ornament in a stall of Yuhengzhou, and just as she was about to pay for it, Asana suddenly stopped her, and she said with a gloomy expression, "Kutsaya, I haven't been able to see the officials of Yiluo in the past few days, so I handed over a lot of coins to Gong Xiyang, and he said that he would help me find a way." I don't know how long we're going to stay here, but now we can't afford to waste a coin, or it will be difficult for us to return to Seva. ”

Kutthea reluctantly put down her hair ornament, then whispered, "I see, Sala." ”

Another day, in the hall of the inn.

Yao Ping asked Gong Xiyang, "Uncle, how is the progress of your help to accommodate Asana?" Recently, I looked at Asana and seemed to be a little lonely. ”

Gongxi Yang stroked his mustache and said, "Nephew, you don't have to worry about them, this should have a result soon, your uncle and I also spent money yesterday to invite a government official in charge of the Bingwu Mansion to go to Le Xiangfang for a drink." ”

"And what did he say?"

"He said he would report the matter to the government officials again on my behalf."

"Uncle, you say, these people... Is it secure? ”

Gong Xiyang glanced at Yao Ping, and then said, "What is old and unreliable, we are begging others to do something." Besides, although the one we asked to see was a princess, to be honest, she was a princess of a tribe, and I estimated that she was equivalent to the daughter of our Qingfu County in Gwangju Prefecture, the county government. This will inevitably not be taken seriously by the Imperial Court and the Military Mansion. ”

Yao Ping scratched his head and didn't say anything more.
