Chapter 128: Twelve Cities
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth, bringing infinite vitality to the world.
Yun Mu and her mother stood on a hillside, looking ahead.
Between the two huge mountain ranges, there are twelve magnificent high cities, connected from end to end, forming a huge ring, like a city within a city, giving people an incomparable shock.
This is the most marginal area in the southwest and the first line of defense on the border of Daliang.
"Xiao Mu, is that the Twelve Cities?"
"Hmm. β
Yun Mu's voice was very soft, and there was a complicated look of memory in his eyes.
The catastrophe of the previous life came, the beast rebellion frenzy swept the entire border, Liuyun Town and the chaotic forest were destroyed, Yun Mu was homeless, and finally came to the Twelve Cities.
After three years of perseverance and hundreds of animal rebellions, he didn't know how he survived in the first place. Now that he has revisited the old place, he feels both familiar and strange about everything here.
It's a pity that this ancient border city still couldn't escape the end of destruction in the end. Twelve cities, with a population of millions, were wiped out almost overnight.
Yun Sheng looked at Yun Mu quietly, and then looked away, the longer she got along, the more she found that Yun Mu hid too many secrets, and at the same time carried too many worries, as a mother, she couldn't help Yun Mu, she could only stand silently left and right, even if it became a stone, she had to silently guard each other. More and faster chapters are here.

"Open the doorβ"
Amid the shouts of the guards, the gates of the city gate slowly opened, making an ancient squeezing sound.
Columns of soldiers stood neatly on the left and right of the city gates, solemn and solemn.
This border city is one of the twelve cities, which belongs to the place under the control of the twelve military palaces, and has a large population, and most of them are men. More and faster chapters are here. Compared with other military governments, the soldiers of Humen are the most courageous...... Of course, every time there is a war, Humen has suffered the most casualties, which is also the main reason for the thinning of the Humen military government.
The city gate was opened, and a large crowd of people immediately rushed to the city gate, including merchants and magnates, mystical wanderers, but more displaced people who fled from all directions, about two or three thousand people. They consciously formed a long line and entered the city one by one under the inspection of the soldiers.
The whole process was very long, but no one felt impatient, and many people's faces were full of excitement and yearning. More and faster chapters are here.
The wall of the southwest, the city within the city, is as solid as black iron and solid as gold...... This is the supreme praise of the Twelve Cities.
Since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, the Twelve Cities have stood on this territory and are jointly managed by the Twelve Military Governments.
Over the past thousand years, the Twelve Cities have experienced countless baptisms of war and the erosion of time, and they are still sticking to this place. Therefore, in the hearts of the border people, the Twelve Cities may not be the most prosperous place, but they are the strongest and safest places.
It's just that it's not easy to enter the Twelve Cities, although it is prosperous here, but there are no idlers here, and even half of the beggars are not seen in the city. If they have no ability to survive and no value, they will be driven out of the border cities and left to fend for themselves.
After all, it is not easy to support the normal operation of such a large city. It is impossible to rely on the Twelve Military Governments alone, and the large population base is the key to supporting the operation of the Twelve Cities.

"Ouch! You dare to beat me, do you know who I am? I am the steward of the Feng family in Tianhua Mansion!"
Some people wanted to enter the city early and make a transgressive move, but they were stopped by the city guards. More and faster chapters are here.
"If you want to enter the city, you will line up, and those who trespass on the city gate will be killed!"
"No mercyβ"
Hundreds of people are like one person, the roar is shocking, and the anger is so angry that the Feng family steward is scared, and he hurriedly retracts to the end of the team, where do you dare to make another time.
Seeing this scene, some people were secretly in awe, some people gloated, some people were dismissive, and some people were expressionless, obviously used to such things. Be the first to update
Don't look at the soldiers of the Twelve Liancheng, most of them are ordinary people, but they have been on the battlefield, fighting to the death, ten people can defeat Xuantu, a hundred people can defeat Xuanshi, and a thousand people can defeat Xuanshi...... Even a generation of Xuanzong, in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, can only sigh.
......
Yun Mu took Yun Sheng through the crowded crowd and walked straight to the city gate under the strange gaze of everyone.
"Hmph, I don't know where the hillbilly came from, but I want to cut in line. β
"They are in tatters, looking at their appearance, they should be homeless people in the neighborhood, right?
"That's right, you won't have to have a meal of flesh and skin later!"
There was a lot of discussion around, and the soldiers on duty also frowned, and were about to open their mouths to scold, but saw Yun Mu casually take out a token and throw it over. More and faster chapters are here.
The general guarding the city took the token, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "The young general will meet the adult, and the disrespectful place is not strange to the adult." β
As early as last night, there were special people above who came to say hello, if you meet someone holding the Humen worship token into the city, you must treat each other with courtesy, and there must be no slack.
The guard thought that there would be some big man here, but he didn't expect it to be a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy and a white-haired woman.
Although the guard was puzzled, the rules in the army were to give priority to the order, so he didn't ask too much, but just ordered his subordinates to open the way and let them go, and the soldiers on both sides saluted solemnly.
Yun Mu nodded, and then took his mother into the city.
......
"Ahh
"Yes, at such a young age, the future will definitely be promising. β
"It's ridiculous that someone just now said that people's lives are in tatters, and the pain of skin and flesh is indispensable, so I was slapped in the face!"
"Huh!"
There was a constant uproar in the crowd, and the people who had just spoken out lowered their heads and looked extremely worried, for fear that the soldiers would remember their appearance and be retaliated against.

Humen Military Mansion, Inner Hall Study.
At this time, Mrs. Lan Yu was teaching Xiaohuzi to recite ancient texts, when suddenly there was a knock on the doorway, and a young woman's voice came from outside.
"Madam, I just received news from the city guard that the mother and son you brought your attention to have entered the city. β
Hearing the maid's message, Mrs. Lanyu couldn't help but put down the book: "Where did they go?"
"They've gone to the inner city, do you want to send someone to follow them?"
"No, they'll come when it's time to come, and if they don't want to come here, it's useless to force them to come. Sending people to watch them will only make them feel distrustful, but not beautiful. β
Mrs. Lan Yu thought about it seriously, and then said: "Inform the people below that you must treat them politely when you meet them, and remember not to neglect their mother and son." β
"The slave understands. β
"Go ahead!"
"Yes. β
The maid retreated, and Mrs. Lanyu picked up the book again, but Xiaohuzi couldn't be quiet anymore, and her mind was full of recalling what Yun Mu had told him.
After a while, a rough voice sounded again: "Madam, Hushuai, they are back." β
"Oh!"
Mrs. Lanyu stretched her eyebrows, her face showed joy, and then she took the child out of the study.
