Chapter 102: City Guard
More than 100 miles away, Zhao Qing spent about a week, because there was Ricklinson's sharp sword suspended above his head, so time was very urgent for him, because he didn't know when Ricklinson would appear in front of his eyes.
However, at this time, Zhao Qing couldn't come even if he was in a hurry, so he slowed down and learned more about this world, which was what he had to do.
Mincheng is a big city, the city walls are towering, the buildings in the city are continuous, faintly out of sight, and the population is close to one million.
In front of the tall city wall, two human dragons nearly a thousand meters long, thousands of people lined up to enter the city, and Zhao Qing was also lined up among one of the human dragons, waiting to enter the city.
Fagan stood behind Zhao Qing with two horses, raising his eyes, he was obviously leaving the black market for the first time, and he felt very new and interesting about what was going on outside.
As the human dragon slowly advanced, they were already almost at the city gate, and they could see the situation at the city gate, there were two city guard squads, collecting city taxes.
The efficiency of tax collection is very high, one person will be released with a blood copper coin, and the people who enter the city are very cooperative, basically without the urging of the city guards, directly throw a copper coin into the huge iron box, and then enter the city.
There are a lot of people who enter the city every day, and it basically doesn't take half an hour for a few horses to come and pull away the boxes full of blood copper coins, and the two city guard teams are just guarding the two huge money boxes.
The people of the city guard squad are all warriors with rank cultivation, because the individual force in this world is very strong, so the form of the army is based on the squad as a unit, a squad of 6 people, and is bound by military law.
The two squads that collected the city tax, dressed in uniform black and light armor, stood around the two huge cash boxes, and basically did not come into contact with passers-by except for checking the carriages entering the city.
Since Zhao Qing was also going to join the City Guards, he had a lot of observations on the two City Guard Squads, but when he approached, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
The city guard team wears standard light armor, and the identity of each member of the team can be judged through some detailed changes in the light armor, which means that there is a slight difference between the captain's light armor and the light armor of the team members.
When Zhao Qing walked in, he found that the captain of one of the city guard squads was a young boy, with a hint of tenderness on his face, probably about the same age as Fei Gen, about fifteen years old, and with Zhao Qing's cultivation, it could be seen that this young man had the cultivation of the third order of the human rank.
However, the other members of this squad made the corners of Zhao Qing's eyes twitch, and it was not difficult to see that this young man's identity was extraordinary, because his squad lineup was luxurious.
His team members all have ground-level cultivation, four of them are ground-level 4-level cultivation, and the other has ground-level 6-level cultivation.
Maybe it was because he was aware of Zhao Qing's detection, the resolute middle-aged man who couldn't see through cultivation, glanced at Zhao Qing lightly, maybe someone often looked at them like this, so he didn't make a sound, just glanced at Zhao Qing, and ignored him.
"It seems! The blood flag didn't lie to me, it has the support of 5 strong people with ground level cultivation, and the origin is extraordinary, and the people with such extraordinary origins have all chosen to join the Mincheng City Guard, and the status of the martial arts sect really depends on meritorious buildings. After Zhao Qing paid the money, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Sir! I inquired, and the city guard department went this way, turned right on 15th street, and when I walked to the end, I saw the largest building, which was the city guard department. After entering the city, Fagan disappeared automatically, and in less than 1 minute, he found out where the city guard was.
"Hmmm! Let's go. Zhao Qing nodded slightly, it was really a right choice to accept Fei Gen, Fei Gen was a strong man in life, and he brought a lot of convenience to Zhao Qing along the way.
"After you settle down, I will guide your cultivation." Zhao Qing then added a sentence and said.
"Thank you, sir!" Fagan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.
Half an hour later, Zhao Qing and the two came to a huge building like a military fortress, this building is a dome building made of hard gray boulders, majestic, majestic, and rude, and there are two statues of warriors holding swords in front of the gate, which is the city guard department of Mincheng.
The city guards who came in and out were all wearing uniform dark and light armor, which gave people a sense of solemnity.
A moment later, Zhao Qing came to the top floor of the building of the City Guard Department and met with the City Guard Chief.
"You were introduced by the Blood Banner, and you have a cultivation of the 5th order of the ground level, you can cross the ordinary city guard and directly serve as the captain of the squad, as for the bigger position, according to the regulations, a certain amount of merit is required." The city guard chief said to Zhao Qing.
The chief of the city guard is a middle-aged fat man, about 40 years old, with a bucket-like figure, his cultivation is not high, but there are people who rank 3, but even if his cultivation is not high, when facing Zhao Qing, he still naturally reveals a kind of bearing of a superior person.
The earth level is a watershed, and it is also a moat, even in this world where cultivation materials are rich, the people who can reach the ground level cultivation are still a very small part, the entire Mincheng has a population of nearly one million, and under normal circumstances, there are only about 10 earth level powerhouses.
As for the abnormal situation, just like the team that Zhao Qing met at the gate of the city, although those people had a ground-level cultivation, they did not enter the martial arts system, and usually existed in the form of family generals.
Although the cultivation of the fat city guard is not high, he is the person of the city lord, he is in the system of the martial arts, but his more main identity is the city lord's family general or the descendant with a blood relationship, with the cultivation of the third order of others, the city guard chief was already the top at that time, and it is impossible to go further.
"I know the rules!" Zhao Qing nodded slightly and said.
"Hmmm! This is my warrant, you go to the secretarial department to create a file. ”
"The 57 squad of the Chengdong Guard Division, just one of the team members died while exploring the vast area, I will demote the captain of the 57 team, and you will take over as the captain." A contemplative expression appeared on the fleshy face of the city guard, and he said after a moment.
According to the structure of the city guard, it is divided into the east of the city, the south of the city, the west of the city, and the north of the city, a total of four guards, each of which is more than 2,000 people, a total of more than 8,000 people.
Among them, under the establishment of the city guard, it is divided into three departments, A, B and C, each with more than 600 people, and the subordinates are divided into more than 100 teams, and the standard establishment of the team is 6 people.
Of course, the establishment of the city guard army is not full, because the first requirement to join the city guard is to have a human-level cultivation, that is, the cultivation of the grandmaster realm, in this world, although the warrior is like a cloud, the strong is like rain, but not everyone can become a warrior and become a strong man.
Under the warriors like clouds and the strong like rain, there is an even larger human base.
The city guard chief can clearly tell which squad performed what task and what people were lost, and from this small point alone, it can be seen that the city guard chief is very familiar with the city guard.
Zhao Qing came out of the secretarial department, his file has been edited, as long as a few days, the secretarial department will transmit his information to the headquarters of Wuzong through the sensor crystal, then he will officially become a peripheral member of Wuzong.
Sensing crystal is a kind of twin mineral curiosity, there is some kind of connection fluctuation between each other, human beings are using this fluctuation of sensing crystal, information transmission, this kind of strange thing, is the natural telegraph, but there is a shortcoming, that is, it can only contact the associated other crystal, therefore, this way of transmitting information, has considerable limitations.
There is a sensor crystal in Mincheng, and the other is stored in the headquarters of Wuzong, where there is a special sensor crystal department, in which tens of thousands of sensor crystals are stored, and there is a huge amount of information collected every day, and then there are special personnel responsible for processing.
These things were introduced to Zhao Qing by someone from the secretarial department.
With Zhao Qing's cultivation at this time, joining the Martial Sect can be said to have a promising future, as long as he accumulates enough merits, it is not impossible to join the headquarters, so the people in the secretarial department are quite polite to him.
Subsequently, Zhao Qing went to the logistics department and received a set of dark light armor, as for the weapon, Zhao Qing did not choose, the light armor is divided into three parts: stomach armor, hand guards, and leg guards, the material is a fairly hard black iron, and its hardness can withstand the full force of the 3rd order martial artist without deformation.
Light armor didn't help Zhao Qing much, but it was a symbol of status.
Although the city guard department is divided into 4 guards, the 4 guards are not stationed in the four urban districts of Mincheng, the station is next to the acropolis, and the city guard department is located in the center of the 4 guards.
After a while, Zhao Qing entered the street where the Chengdong Wei station was located, and on both sides of the street were courtyard buildings of a uniform style, in front of each courtyard building, there was a house number, and the house number corresponded to the subordinate team of Chengdong Wei.
"A57." Zhao Qing took Fagan to stop in front of a courtyard, and after glancing at the door number, he determined that he would be the master of the courtyard here.
The gate of the courtyard was locked, but this was not difficult for Zhao Qing, he took out a key from his arms, opened the door and walked in directly, followed by Fei Gen led the two horses, and at the same time looked at the courtyard with a probe, this is where he will live in the future.
Behind the gate, there is a rather spacious gravel field, which is a small playground, around which 6 century-old trees grow luxuriantly, like 6 umbrellas, so that the whole playground is shrouded in shade, scattered with floating fine light spots, and covered with some fallen leaves.
Behind the 6 century-old trees, there are 6 two-story solid wood buildings, in addition to these 6 buildings, there is also a horse shed next to the playground, and when he saw this horse shed, Fagan led the two horses over.
