Although the Lion City has become extraordinarily prosperous with the change of strategic position, its inner city has not been developed as vigorously as the outer city, on the contrary, its inner city still retains the unique pattern of the military city: the military roads extending in all directions, the arrow towers and hidden fortresses, all the houses are made of bluestone, and the view from a distance is a sea of blue.

The highest place in the city is the station of the city lord's mansion, Shi Yong, the lord of the Lion City, is a strong general who has been fighting for many years, shrewd and cautious, when the king of Yan followed Emperor Qin to conquer the Quartet, Shi Yong served as the vanguard of the headquarters many times, although he did not dare to say that he won a hundred battles, but he rarely suffered losses, so Emperor Qin ruled the world, after the king of Yan was crowned king, Shi Yong as the descendant of the king of Yan, he got the errand of guarding the lion city, at that time everyone felt that the king of Yan treated the heroes poorly, Shi Yong was really a loss, But then all sorts of things finally shut up the tongue-chewers - the Lion City is not only not a penal colony, but also a real fat shortage!

However, at this moment, the city lord of the Lion City, who was deeply trusted by King Yan, was respectfully accompanying him, and on the main throne sat a young man with a mask, and next to this young man stood a military general wearing heavy armor, this military general did not look amazing, and it didn't seem to be anything special, but as long as you carefully distinguished, you could see that the red feathers on his helmet were not inserted on the side of the helmet, but fixed directly above the helmet! With the addition of his fiery gold-patterned Vermilion Bird cloak and the nine Vermilion Bird patterns on his wrist armor, his identity is simply about to come out!

The Great Commander of the Suzaku Army, Ji Shige!

Standing beside him as the Grand Commander, the masked young man who was seated ......

Shi Yong didn't dare to think deeply, but lowered his head lower, don't look at his Shi Yong's great achievements, but compared with the Vermilion Bird Army, it still can't work, the reason for this is very simple, no matter how powerful he Shi Yong is, he is just a foreign minister, and the foreign minister can't be too good, otherwise a crime of high merit can kill him! The Vermilion Bird Army is different, it is a descendant of the royal family, and the best generals in it are all members of the royal family, and the most mysterious military lord is inextricably linked with King Yan. Therefore, the guards of every border town will have a Suzaku guard stationed in the station, called the assistant defense, which is actually surveillance, because the so-called Suzaku guard is actually the reserve of the Suzaku Army, and only the best guards can be selected into the Suzaku Army!

"Commander, I don't know what the sudden visit is......

Ji Chong's face was expressionless, as if the respectfulness of this party member was a matter of course, raised his hand and brushed the cloak behind him, Ji Chong said in his extremely magnetic baritone: "The young master is bored in Jianchang, I want to go around to relax, I heard that your Great Wall is good-looking, so I came to you, you don't have to be busy with other things recently, just obey orders at any time." ”

Just because he was bored, he ran to the border city to see the scenery, and he had to let the commander of the Vermilion Bird Army accompany him personally, needless to say, the background of this so-called young master must be highly scary, and it is very likely to be one of several princes. In the face of Ji Chong's command, Shi Yong did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, he was not a reckless man who only knew how to fight on the battlefield, and the twists and turns in the officialdom were as clear as he was. In his opinion, no matter which prince comes, this is the best opportunity for him to enhance the relationship between himself and the royal family.

Thinking of this, Shi Yong hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, what are the requirements, although you have orders, as long as there is something on the boundary of this Lion City, the humble duty will definitely be done." ”

"You, yes."

The young man in the mask, who had not spoken a word since he came in, finally spoke, but he seemed to cherish words like gold, and like a martial artist like Shi Yong, he didn't speak anymore after saying three words.

However, Shi Yong was already overjoyed to receive a positive answer, and it can be said that this first impression was very successful.

"Stone City Lord, the Vermilion Bird guard stationed here is a person named Wei Ying, has he caused trouble for you during this time?"

As soon as Shi Yong heard Ji Chong's question, he hurriedly shook his head and replied: "General Wei guards the inner city, has always been loyal to his duties, and gets along very harmoniously with his humble duties. ”

Seeing that Shi Yong's answer was very decent, Ji Zhong was also very satisfied, and handed over all the inner city guards to the hands of Suzaku Guard, it can be said that Shi Yong handed over his net worth and life, and there is no doubt about his loyalty, and this person is very on the road, and he is very thorough in three points, and he has military exploits, but he is an object worth cultivating.

Glancing down at the masked young man, seeing that he didn't say anything else, Ji Chong said to Shi Yong: "Lord Shicheng, we don't need to tell Wei Ying the news of our arrival here, you, understand......

"Yes, yes, I understand."

"Yes, that's good."

Ji Zhong continued: "To what extent has the Zhu family developed in the Lion City. In exchange, it has given them enough benefits, but they can't be allowed to develop too fast, and it's time to take the lead. ”

Listening to Ji Chong's question, Shi Yong hesitated a little this time, but soon he spoke: "The Zhu family has established a chamber of commerce in the outer city, and it can be said that it has occupied most of the outer city market, and the only ones who can fight him are those military merchants, and the Zhu family has not interfered in the procurement of military materials in the inner city. But...... Recently, among the goods cleared by the Zhu family, there are many young women from the barbarian Wu clan, and because of the participation of General Wei, it is not good to be too lowly and ask too much......

"The Zhu family is not a clean businessman, they also started by reselling slaves at the beginning, as long as it doesn't target their own people, they don't have to care too much about him."

Ji Zhong heard that Suzaku Wei was involved, so he changed his tone, after all, protecting the short is a common problem of soldiers, I can beat and scold my people, and others interfere, that is not to give face! Shi Yong, who is also a soldier, of course understands the reason, so he is very appropriate in and out of his words, which also makes Ji Chong's good impression of him skyrocket.

"Well, that's it for today, I'll go to you if there's something."

Ji Chong saw that the business was done, so he ended this conversation, and after Shi Yong retreated outside and walked away, Ji Chong whispered in the ear of the masked young man: "Young master, Luo Xiong was imprisoned in the dungeon by Wei Ying, it is estimated that he has suffered a lot, and his son Luo Cheng has already entered the outer city, can he add a little fire?" ”

"Yes."

The masked young man nodded, slowly stood up straight, only to see him pacing lightly two steps, and slowly spoke: "Arrange an opportunity for Ying Xiaosi to meet Luo Cheng." ”
