Langya City is known as the first male city in the world, although Jiang Guo is not the first power in the sense, but the title of Langya City in the world can be confirmed.

Because this city is too large and covers an area too large, in addition to the four gates of the inner city, there are also four gates of the outer city, as if one big city is tightly surrounded by another big city.

There is no bigger city in the world than Langya City, and there is no more prosperous city than Langya City, all kinds of people who enter and leave the city every day almost often block the city gates, I believe that even if a few more city gates are opened, it is still impossible to avoid the phenomenon of long queues on the official road.

Jiang is in the center of the world, is the place where all countries must fight, Langya City, as the last barrier of Jiang country, can be described as impregnable.

Since the reign of Taizong to the present, the Jiang State has experienced countless wars, large and small, and even Langya City has faced the pressure of the army many times, and the Jiang State will fall apart in an instant, but fortunately, Langya City has repeatedly resisted the attack and kept the Jiang State immortal.

Under the protection of Langya City, Jiang began to counterattack, although in the end no one could help anyone, but the existence of Jiang Langya City was wonderful, so that later there was a dynasty trying to get involved in Jiang State, but also to think twice, even if it directly entered the hinterland of Jiang State, if it could not conquer Langya City, it was just a useless waste of troops and grain and grass, and finally ended up with a lose-lose situation.

Therefore, although Jiang Guo is in the most delicate position in the world, he has been invincible since the founding of the country.

The main reason why Langya City is unbreakable is the existence of Lihua Academy, there is a academy in the capital of the five countries in the world, but only the academy in Langya City is orthodox.

Originally, Ewha Academy was just a college, but the name Ewha was added later, and many people don't understand the meaning of this name, maybe it doesn't have any meaning at all, it's just a common name.

The only thing that really understands is the old man who named the academy, who is also the most deified existence of Jiang Guo, and is the pillar of the entire Jiang country, even if the academy is destroyed, as long as this person still lives in Langya City, it is impossible for Jiang Guo to perish.

The unity of the Five Kingdoms Academy is the academy in the true sense, and the Ewha Academy is Confucian orthodoxy and the holy place of Confucian monks.

Confucianism disciples all over the world, far more than the number of disciples of Taoism and Buddhism, although the number of real Confucianism is not many, and the strength is slightly inferior to Taoism and Buddhism, but people are terrible, the number of disciples is the other two religions combined, and it is not easy to shake the foundation of Confucianism.

Out of all kinds of fears, although all countries coveted Jiang Guo, they didn't dare to act rashly, and only waited for the best opportunity.

The enrollment of Ewha Academy will start soon, and Langya City is full of excitement.

Although Li Mengzhou also wanted to enter the academy, he really didn't have enough strength to do it, and he didn't want to join in the excitement, he always paid attention to the news of the enrollment of another mountain gate.

There wasn't any news yet, but he figured he should be able to wait.

Jiang Guoren is not simple in dressing, because the style of writing is prevalent, the so-called talented and beautiful women are the focus, and in addition to being outstanding in writing, many people will also make some changes in dressing, although it will not reach the point of bells and whistles, but it will not look simple.

Most of the literati are arrogant and talkative, and whether what they say is meaningful or unreasonable, they always talk a lot, and they prove that they know a lot and know everything in the world.

Although this is the case, Jiang people are very polite to people, that is a kind of bearing, but also a kind of recuperation, even in the face of hostile countries, they will treat each other politely, to show their demeanor as Jiang people.

At this point, almost all the people of Jiang Guo have done a good job, tolerance is the characteristic of Jiang people, so throughout the ages, Jiang Guo has rarely taken the initiative to provoke wars, but when the war comes, they will not be afraid, because they are still proud of tolerance, and they pay more attention to the issue of face, if someone wants to slap them in the face, then they will not be stingy with the butcher knife in their hands.

Therefore, Jiang Guo is a little strange in the eyes of outsiders, most small countries that have no interest disputes with Jiang Guo are willing to take the initiative to make friends, at least Jiang Guo is very friendly to foreign countries and will not be aggressive.

This also led to the gradual growth of Jiang's power, with many vassal states, and with the extension of time, the rest of the countries that tried to get their hands on Jiang became more at a disadvantage, so that there was a world that is now quite peaceful.

Li Mengzhou saw a lot of scholars walking with folding fans in hand, and there were also men who walked with swords and looked a little lonely, all of them looked like unborn swordsmen, but when they saw something interesting, they would also stop for a while, and after losing interest, they would return to a cold appearance.

The openness of Jiang is bolder than in other countries, the girls are generally dressed cooler in the summer, in the warm season on the streets, it is common for women to roll up their sleeves and completely expose their arms, and there are some impure women who are even more bold in dressing, which will always attract attention.

But the girls who have not come out of the cabinet are much more conservative, this seems to be the unwritten rule of Jiang Guo, even if it is open and bold, it is impossible for all the girls on the street to show their arms and wrists with a touch of snow white, and Jiang Guo is only slightly more open than other countries, there are still many rules and restrictions.

Especially in addition to the city of Langya City, it is more conservative, Langya City is the most open place in the entire Jiang country, and it is only when there is a comparison, looking at the whole world, Jiang is not really too open, but relatively tolerant, some minor details will not be taken into account, but if it is too much, it is still a matter of immorality.

And in the early winter, when the weather is cold, and there is no more scenery on the streets, all the girls and women are tightly wrapped.

Women with status are not too presumptuous in dressing because of their faces, and women from ordinary people's families can hardly make people think more even if they show their arms, after all, most of these women at the bottom have rough skin.

After all, this still depends on personal understanding and etiquette, and the charming and dissolute women certainly don't care about their status, they can do whatever they want, but this is still a minority.

Unconsciously, Li Mengzhou walked to an alley, and there was a big locust tree in front of the alley, the locust tree had withered, and it was bare and not very elegant.

The streets and alleys are quiet, wide and narrow just barely enough to cross the carriage, this street has no name, perhaps because it is too small, and there are no people living in it, only through this street can you see some houses, where is the place to live.

Li Mengzhou entered the alley with nothing to do, listening to the noise coming from an unknown direction, and occasionally hearing the voices of some people.

After leaving the alley, there was also a big locust tree outside, and there was a person standing under the big locust tree.

There are still some withered leaves on the branches of the big locust tree in the streets and alleys, hanging alone, showing the gloom, because it has just snowed, there is also a lot of snow on the tree, which makes the withered locust tree look more dreamy and beautiful.

Perhaps the alleys are ugly, so there are no pedestrians, and the people standing under the big locust tree are more abrupt.

Li Mengzhou frowned imperceptibly.

The man standing under the locust tree was no stranger to him, and he was surprised to see this person here, and he also had some bad feelings in his heart.

Qing Yi was not wearing a green robe, but a black robe, a very simple dress, not an expensive fabric, he held a sword in his arms, with an indifferent expression, staring at Li Mengzhou tightly.

Li Mengzhou paused and continued to walk forward.

Qing Yi's cold voice came: "If you want to gain a foothold in the capital, you must rely on a certain force, which has many advantages for you, you don't have to live in an inn, you can go to many places that you can't go if you want to go now." ”

Li Mengzhou exhaled lightly and said: "I don't like to send people under the fence, and I don't have any special skills, even if I am attached to a certain force, it is difficult to be reused, in my opinion, this will limit my personal freedom." ”

Qingyi leaned his back against the locust tree, lowered his head and said, "I'm just here to inform you, whether you agree or refuse, it has nothing to do with me, this is my task, so I can't fail." If your choice goes against my mission, I can get rid of you here. ”

Li Mengzhou's face became cold, and he said, "You seem to like threatening others?"

Qingyi said: "Because you have already refused once in the way of not being threatened, there is no need to continue to say good things to you, since it no longer works, why do you need to do it again." ”

Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment and said, "I'm curious about the purpose of your doing this, you don't kill me, I'm very grateful, but that's all." I have nothing to be valued by you, so why do you have to draw me into your circle?"

Qingyi didn't want to say too much, but felt that if he didn't say anything, the other party's choice would definitely be unsatisfactory, so he also said patiently: "Because I don't kill you, you have more reason to make the right choice, and it's a gift to let you live." I don't know if you have seen the contents of that envelope, but whether you look at it or not, you have no choice but to compromise. ”

Qing Yi looked up at Li Mengzhou, the sword he was holding in his right hand was held in his arms, and said lightly: "I can tell you very clearly, you have touched some places in the capital that cannot be touched, and many people have already set their eyes on you, if it weren't for us, where would you be able to wander the streets now?"

Although Qing Jiu killed those dead soldiers, there are still their people in the capital, and if you send that envelope to Tongming Lane instead of Qing Jiu, then you will naturally become their target. ”

Li Mengzhou felt a little headache and said, "This doesn't matter to me, and I have already handed over the things to you, so there is no reason for people to pester me, right?"

Qing Yi sneered: "Your actions have greatly hindered their path, whether you intentionally or not, you have done this after all, then you must bear the revenge of some people." After something very important is lost, those people must go crazy, and they need to kill you to calm their restless emotions. ”

Li Mengzhou said angrily: "Isn't there a royal law in the capital, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”

Qingyi said: "Of course, His Majesty alone has the final say in the capital, but if someone wants to make small moves, His Majesty can't fully grasp it, you don't want to see that after you die, the people of the government are late, right?"

Li Mengzhou wanted to simply take a sip and walk away in a chic manner, but when things threatened his life, if he refused, then the people who wanted to kill him were not just those potential characters, and Qingyi in front of him would not let him get out of here alive.

He was really angry.

But he suddenly found that he had no ability to resist at all, he was too weak, and there should be no one weaker than him in the capital, and he could die in some disgraceful corner of the capital anytime and anywhere.

Although he understands that this may be his only choice, and he can only choose this way, he can't hide the anger in his heart, he doesn't like to be threatened, and he doesn't like to be controlled.

But in the face of a man who can kill him with a raised hand, will he continue to be tough?

This is a question worth pondering.

Although it is true that the strong word refusal looks very backbone, but the price is one's own life, but no smart person should do this.

After all, he still couldn't figure out why Qingyi and these people didn't kill him but wanted to win him over, he couldn't find a more accurate reason, the so-called why they wanted to win him over because they didn't kill him, what kind of ghost logic was this.

There must be some conspiracy in this, but Li Mengzhou can't figure it out.

The only thing he could think of was that Qingyi might not be from the cultivation mountain gate, but from another place, most likely above the court.

But which person in the court Qingyi is loyal to, Li Mengzhou has no goal that he can determine.

Maybe he thought of someone, and when the idea first came to him, he would veto it himself, after all, it was too unbelievable.

Li Mengzhou has never survived by luck in the past years, which time is not to die and then live, he has experienced too many deaths, although this is also a kind of luck in a sense, but after all, it only occupies a small number, and he values his own strength more.

He doesn't have the strength to resist now, but he's lucky, at least if he agrees, he'll be able to live well.

On the premise that you don't want to die, the so-called humiliation you suffer should be bearable.

In order to survive, he has done more than once things that he didn't dare to think about before, and there are many things that he hated and sneered at, but in order to survive, he finally did it, so why be afraid of this more time?

Once you have made a decision, your heart is much more relaxed.

But Li Mengzhou still won't give Qing Yi a good look, after all, he was forced.

Qing Yi was always paying attention to the changes in Li Mengzhou's expression, and when his expression was relaxed, he already knew the decision in his heart, so Qing Yi didn't say anything more, because he didn't want to say anything more to Li Mengzhou at first, and he couldn't even understand why the above would make the decision to win over this young man.

He said these words to Li Mengzhou just to complete the task, nothing more, so after the task was completed, he didn't want to say more to Li Mengzhou.

Throwing a silver ring casually, it is very ordinary, like a toy ornament that can be seen everywhere in the streets.

Li Mengzhou looked at the ring in his hand and was a little puzzled.

Qing Yi pondered for a moment, feeling that he should say one more word, he glanced at Li Mengzhou and said, "This is the ring that the members of the Heavenly Council have, so as not to accidentally injure their own people when they are on a mission." Because it is very common and common, it will not attract attention, but only the members of the Heavenly Council can understand the true meaning of this ring.

There is an inscription engraved in the ring, only the aura of heaven and earth can make the font appear, each ring represents a person's identity, and what you are holding in your hand is Qingjiu's ring, so you are Qingjiu now.

You have to keep your identity a secret, and when you have a mission, someone will naturally inform you, and if someone knows your identity, either kill the person who knows your identity, or apologize for your crime with death. ”

Li Mengzhou looked at the ring in his hand, slightly surprised, and said, "Heavenly Academy, this shouldn't be the name of a cultivation mountain gate, right?"

Qingyi didn't speak, he looked up, and there was still Qingyi's figure under the big locust tree.

Li Mengzhou's face darkened a little.

He is not a cultivator yet, so naturally he can't touch the aura of heaven and earth, and it is even more impossible to see the words engraved in the ring.

The Heavenly Council is from above the court, it is a very mysterious institution, and not many people in the outside world know about it, so it is normal for Li Mengzhou not to know.

He somehow became a member of the Heavenly Council, and in any case, he can be regarded as having an identity in the capital, and perhaps it is not necessarily a bad thing to understand it in a different way.
