Chapter 135: Settling In
Hades nodded, "That's right, go out to sea from the Cape of the Stars to worship at the Sendai Terrace." Only the king who has worshiped the king of Sendai can make the people of the Star Empire submit. ”
The bearded man said, "Your Highness the Hades, what do you mean......"
Hades said, "Focus your attention on the stargazing cape." If there is movement in the corner of the star, it means that our judgment is correct. In particular, the old king encountered storms when he went to sea several times, and he wanted to pass on the throne to the new emperor, and he would definitely urge the new emperor to find ways to worship successfully to appease the people. If there is movement at the Cape of the Stars in the near future, then we will prepare our forces at sea as early as possible. As soon as they go to sea, we will catch them by surprise. ”
The Hades King sneered, "Even if this person has practiced the Blood Turning Floating Incense Technique, after all, he is still young and his cultivation is not high, so he is not afraid now." But in a few years, it will be troublesome. In this way, the world of the Star Empire is still back in our hands. Hahahaha. ”
The bearded man said, "Your Highness the Hades King, I'll send someone to prepare." ”
Hades nodded, and suddenly added, "Eh, Hu Mian, forget it, you don't have to prepare." You and the red-faced envoy, both of them are injured after a hard fight, so let's go recuperate first. This matter was handed over to the white-faced envoy and the hemp mask-faced envoy. When it comes to the next action, the two of you will be involved. ”
After saying that, the Hades walked straight back.

After several days, Ding Qin and He Yan did not encounter any more trouble. Although the Kamata Trail is in poor condition, it is mainly built to facilitate communication between villages and towns, so it is convenient for rest and resupply. It's just that it is precisely because of this convenience to the people that its direction is tortuous and tortuous, and it naturally takes a lot of time.
When he arrived at Xingyao City, it was exactly what He Yan expected, and it took about ten more days.
As soon as he entered the range of Xingyao City, Ding Qin's heart also calmed down a lot. According to common sense, they are much safer at the feet of Emperor Lao Tzu.
Xingyao City, as the largest city and capital of the Xingyao Empire, is naturally prosperous. The scale of the entire city is not smaller than the imperial capital of the Xuanling Empire, but in terms of the overall architectural layout, it is not as elaborate as the Xuanling Imperial Capital, which is divided into several layers from the outside to the inside.
The architectural layout of Xingyao City is very rough, with a large city wall on the outside, made of bricks and stones, and a residential area directly inside it. The different residential areas are separated by simple streets, and a few of the more elaborate or family groups have built some walls. As for the market and other places, they are mostly naturally formed, one on the left and one on the right, and there is no law.
Although this layout is, to a certain extent, a city is very irregular and does not have the style of a big city, but all kinds of people come and go, but there is a lot of prosperous taste.
And the royal residence of the Star Empire is in the center of the city. In other words, Star City should have been centered on the royal residence area, and then slowly developed.
On the periphery of the royal quarters, a fence was built, with four entrances and exits in the south, south, and west. Within 100 meters of the fence, it is a security forbidden area, and it is strictly forbidden to set up stalls and stay without reason. Since it is outside the forbidden area, it is a wide avenue, so very few people go inside the forbidden area.
After turning the city around, Ding Qin took He Yan to find her place to settle.
Regarding the matter of settling down, He Yan did not insist on expressing any opinions later. Ding Qin didn't know what she meant, but it was rare for her to calm down, so he didn't ask again.
The friend introduced to Ding Qin by the City Lord of Frost was actually a dignitary of the Xingyao Kingdom. However, his residence is in a relatively remote corner, although the yard is not small, the outer wall does not look magnificent at all, if it is not for the detailed address, Ding Qin will suspect that he has gone to the wrong place.
After a brief briefing at the door, what I didn't expect was that the host personally came out to greet him. Ding Qin has seen the basic knowledge given to him by the city lord, and knows that the master's surname is Wei Ming Feilong, and he is the civil affairs chief of the Xingyao Empire, and is in charge of various benefits and welfare of the Xingyao Kingdom.
Wei Feiyun is about forty years old, less than 1.7 meters tall, he looks not fat or thin, his clothes are very simple, and his expression is relatively kind. When he saw Ding Qin, he greeted him very warmly, "Presumably you are Master Ding." A few days ago, I received a letter from an old friend and had been waiting for the master to come to the door. ”
Ding Qin first saluted, "I've seen Lord Wei." I'm afraid I'm going to bother me when I come this time. ”
Wei Feilong smiled, "Where, where." There is a master coming to the humble house, I am too late to be happy, let's go, let's go in and say. Oh, this is ......."
He pointed at He Yan, naturally confirming He Yan's identity.
"I'm her wife. He Yan said directly, "That is, people who are going to live in an adult's house for a while." ”
Wei Feilong didn't expect He Yan to be so neat and neat, and immediately catered to him, "Oh, sure enough, it's the same as what my old friend said, young and beautiful, and being with the master, it really responds to the two sentences of a talented woman and a talented woman." ”
Ding Qin was very embarrassed to hear it, and couldn't help but laugh dryly.
The two followed Wei Feilong into the inner hall and found that the interior decoration of this house was relatively simple, and it looked like a Qing official. And after talking again, Wei Feilong was obviously very simple and sincere, which also made Ding Qin feel a lot more relieved.
If He Yan is temporarily settled here, there shouldn't be any problems.
After briefly chatting about other situations, Ding Qin proposed to Wei Feilong the idea of letting He Yan stay temporarily. Wei Feilong was also refreshing, admitting that he had already arranged it, and immediately asked people to take them to the prepared room.
What Ding Qin didn't expect was that the room prepared by Wei Feilong was a large suite, and a lot of flowers were specially used to decorate the inner room, which looked extremely romantic and beautiful. Even if He Yan is unhappy now, as soon as she enters this suite, she is still happy from time to time.
After resting here for the night, Ding Qin said goodbye to Wei Feilong. Before leaving, he told He Yan a lot of precautions, but He Yan listened to it without saying a word, and finally seemed a little impatient.
Ding Qin was helpless. Or, this is just He Yan's normal psychological reaction.
After making sure that nothing was missing, Ding Qin left the Wei family. He Yan quietly followed him to the door, and after seeing his background disappear, two lines of tears quietly flowed.
Leaving Ding Qin alone, he no longer drove, but ran directly. For a period of time, whether by boat or car, Ding Qin's cultivation methods were relatively limited. And he himself felt that he was most promoted to himself, one was actual combat, and the other was this continuous athletic cultivation.
In order to increase the effect of cultivation, and at the same time to improve the difficulty, Ding Qin did not choose the main route of the north-south Daguan Road. He had been walking through the mountains, woods, or swamps on either side of the Great Official Road, and he could travel up to fifteen or sixteen hours a day.
After a few days, the spiritual power cultivation in his body has also grown rapidly, and it is vaguely on the eve of a breakthrough.
At the same time, the distance between him and Wangxingjiao is getting closer and closer.
It wasn't until he arrived at the periphery of Wangxingjiao that he realized that Wangxingjiao was not a simple port.
From the map, Cape Gaze is at the very tip of a peninsula, directly into the sea. On the ground, a town was formed within nearly fifty miles of land centered on the Gazing Star Cape. Outside of the town, there are no less than twenty or thirty small fishing villages, but the whole area is also a prosperous area.
Doesn't it mean that in other places besides Wangxingjiao, the hydrology is complicated, and water monsters are infested? Ding Qin's heart was puzzled again.
After asking the locals, I found out that around the peninsula, about ten miles away, there is a natural "reef wall". The reef wall divides the sea into two parts, outside the wall, the danger is abnormal, and the water depth inside the wall is very shallow, basically no more than 10 meters, and all kinds of aquatic products are extremely rich. Since the various water monsters are blocked from the open sea by the wall, this circle is safe, and a large area of fishing grounds is formed.
When it comes to the geographical environment and specialties here, these people are all talking about it, but when it comes to Wangxingjiao, no one is willing to say more than half a word, they all let Ding Qin see it himself.
In desperation, Ding Qin continued to walk inward and went straight to the starry corner.
And when he arrived at the town, he realized that it was one of the most unique towns he had ever seen.
The outer walls of the town are topography and are connected to the sea on both sides and extend into the sea up to the so-called reef wall. And here, all the walls, are not masonry.
Outside it, there is a layer of iron and stone. Due to the erosion of the sea, the entire city wall is rusty, but it also gives people a very old, extremely tight feeling.
Entering the town, there is not much need for cross-examination. In the interior of the town, there were not many guards, and most of the people who came and went were fishermen and merchants. Although it is fenced, the town itself also has an inland sea, so there is no restriction on people going out to sea to fish.
Moving on, though, it's a different story.
In the deepest part of the town is the harbor of Cape Stars. There is also a wall in the harbor, and there is a big monument outside the wall, on which are written the five big characters of Wangxingjiao Port.
The wall that encloses the harbour is also made of metal. But unlike the exterior walls, there is not a single trace of rust on this wall under the immersion of seawater.
This metal is not ordinary!
In the middle of the city wall is a metal gate, which is very conspicuous in golden color. On either side of the gate, there were two groups of soldiers, each with a team of ten people.
On the city wall, there is a post every ten meters or so, and each post has two people.
All the soldiers were in high spirits, and it could be seen that they were elite forces.
With such a scale of guarding, it seems that it is not as simple as a port. If you just don't let people go to Sendai, where is the need for such a formation?
Could it be that there are any secrets in this port?
For a moment, Ding Qin's curiosity rose again.
