The Eight Desolations City is now quite prosperous.

Originally, it was built according to the scale of the imperial capital, and after seven or eight years of operation, the population of the Eight Desolate Cities has reached nearly 700,000, and this city alone accounts for one-twelfth of the total population of the two states.

Since the Han Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, Chang'an City has gradually declined, the situation has long been worse than before, and it has recovered in recent years, but it is certainly not as glorious as it was at the beginning.

And Luoyang City has undergone a sudden change since eight and a half years ago, Emperor Ling died, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and after a lot of chaos, it is also empty of the name of the imperial capital, in fact, it is difficult to match.

The reason why the imperial capital is prosperous is mainly due to the political center, but this is for the big people, most of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial court are settled in the imperial capital.

And the high-ranking nobles who extend out from it are luxuriant, there are many people, and there are groups of slaves, and there are countless families, so it can be said that this accounts for a small half of the population.

And for ordinary people, the main thing is because of a sense of security.

What place in the world is safer than where the emperor lives?

As long as it is not a broken country, the imperial capital has always been stable.

And once the imperial capital is not stable, where else can there be peace in the world?

It's just that now there is a faint image of troubled times.

At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the huge momentum, even if I think about it now, I don't know how many people still have lingering palpitations.

And the civilians who experienced the Luoyang catastrophe at the beginning, as long as there was a way, nearly half of them chose to leave, some of them were hidden in the mountains, some were retreating to the south, and some of them went north and came to these eight desolate cities.

Although ordinary people do not have much wisdom and wisdom, they have a stake in their lives, so they can't help but be cautious and think about comparison.

For example, if there are three points today, compared with Luoyang City and Chang'an City, the population is still more than the Eight Desolate Cities.

Of course, just a large population is not enough, you still have to have a way to live, a livelihood, and a head.

Thanks to Wu Qingying's insight as a player, the Eight Desolation Cities under her rule can be described as full of tricks and industries, especially with Bian Huangji, the most prosperous commercial market in the world.

The items produced and manufactured in the Eight Desolations City include books and classics, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, swords, guns, swords, halberds, glass crystals, ceramic lacquerware, tables, chairs, beddles, tea, refined salt, soy sauce seasonings, etc.

These are sold to all parts of the world through the border wasteland, and through the original Yin Sect, the Extinction Dao, the Nangong family, the Song family and other forces to extend the trade routes in all directions, and also attract traders from all over the world to come to the border wasteland to concentrate on trading.

"Looks like it's pretty lively!"

Han Nuo was concentrated in the border wilderness at this time.

This is a restaurant run by the Yin Sect, which is a semi-secret and semi-public office.

The border wasteland is concentrated with people coming and going, and the number of permanent population, plus business travelers, has never fallen since it climbed to more than 30,000.

Han Nuo was sitting on the window seat on the third floor of the restaurant at the moment, holding a wine glass lightly with four fingers in his left hand, and leaning on the wall with the right half of his body, looking out with an idle and comfortable look.

The wine table in front of him was full of sumptuous dishes, but he didn't move his chopsticks much, just a pot of fine wine was mostly gone between light drinks.

And across from him, it was Zhu Yuyan who was accompaniing.

Wu Qingying and Zhang Ning had something to do, and they couldn't get out of their bodies for the time being, Nangong Tiexin was busy cultivating, and he didn't have the leisure to go shopping, so Han Nuo had to find Zhu Yuyan.

Anyway, she was stationed in the border wasteland, and when Han Nuo came over, she also wanted to greet her.

Seeing Han Nuo's lazy appearance, Zhu Yuyan pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "If you let outsiders know that the famous and powerful god general is like this, I don't know how many people will be disappointed." ”

Han Nuo just glanced at her from the corner of his eye and said with a smile, "You're thinking too much." No matter what I look like, as long as the strength is there, I can afford the name of God. ”

"On the other hand, if I don't have enough strength, what if I am mighty? It's just a silver-like wax tip. ”

Having said that, but seeing it with his own eyes, there will always be a gap in his heart, a little disappointed, Zhu Yuyan asked: "The god general really doesn't care about the image?" ”

Han Nuo turned his gaze to the street again, and said casually: "When you reach a realm like me, why do you need to care about other people's opinions? ”

Zhu Yuyan said: "Isn't it true that the higher the realm, the more the mysteries of the Tao will be displayed in every gesture?" ”

"That's a stretch, isn't it?"

Han Nuo said with a smile: "If you show it outside, you will use it, and if you use it, you will consume it!" also shows the mystery of Taoism in every gesture, except for those who have eaten up, who would do that for no reason? ”

Zhu Yuyan raised her eyebrows: "But, don't all the stories and legends that Wen Ji said say so?" ”

Han Nuo smiled unabatedly and said, "That's all purposeful display. The story is legendary, naturally how wonderful is it, but in fact? Do you know what the price is behind those who appear before them? ”

Zhu Yuyan listened, her eyebrows furrowed together, and when she thought about it, those immortals, every time they showed their traces, didn't they all have a purpose?

Those who subdue demons and subdue demons don't say it, but if they want to collect disciples and cross people, they don't show a few hands, who believes it?

"Alright." Han Nuo didn't want to say any more, but said: "As the so-called relaxation has a way, I have been in retreat for almost five years, and I am not allowed to relax for a few days?" ”

"Okay, then I won't talk about it."

According to Wu Qingying's statement before, Liu Yu will come to see someone at this time these days, Yan Fei, who lives in the Yuelai Inn opposite the restaurant.

I don't know how the two of them met, but at present, it seems that the relationship between the two is quite good.

"Yan Fei?"

Han Nuo thought to himself in his heart: "His father Mo Yiming died at my hands, even if he rarely met Mo Yiming, and if he didn't even mention it to Yutian, Yan Fei didn't know who his biological father was." ”

"However, the so-called revenge of killing his father is not shared, if Yan Fei knows that I killed his father, he will never be willing to work for me, right?"

"The same is Sun Ce."

"Even Sun En, An Shiqing, and Jiang Lingxu, even if I killed Xianyunsan people at that time, he was not far from death."

"The same is true of Hideki Nishijo, although his father Nishijo Hao is controlled by the tiger, it is also a fact that he was killed by me."

"Even Nangong Tiexin, if she knew that her biological father was Zhuo Bufan, maybe there would be changes."

"Well, it's not like choking, but it's always good to be prepared."

Just thinking like this, Han Nuo suddenly saw a person.

It's Liu Yu!

Although he hadn't seen it before, since he first saw Liu Yu, Han Nuo had confirmed his identity.

After the Purple Thunder True Body reached the sixteenth level, and the three walls, four elephants, and twenty-eight nights of the Xiao Zhou Tianxing Dou Formation were all accomplished, Han Nuo had all kinds of magical powers that were incredible in the eyes of ordinary people.

For example, the eye, like the Dharma eye, can see things that ordinary people can't see.

Han Nuo saw the erection of the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven on Liu Yu's body! (To be continued.) )
