After the Sistine arrived in Moxi, according to the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor, Su Ya, the wartime commander of Moxi, was also required to return to the imperial capital to accept awards and appointments. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Montevideo seemed to be very jealous of Su Ya's stay in Moxi for too long, and specially ordered the Sistine to bring the order that after the basic military and political handover was completed, Su Ya, Perry and others must set off on the road. Qiao Se was quite disdainful of the emperor's approach, but he was also one of the people who were rewarded, so naturally he had to return to the imperial capital with Su Ya to accept the award.

Although he himself didn't care much about this award, since it was a benefit to the door, he had no reason to refuse. And his current magic strength can be regarded as a small success, listening to Su Ya, the magic union in the imperial capital is a holy place that magicians all over the continent yearn for, and any magician will come here to accept the magic assessment in order to get the identity of a magician recognized by the mainland.

This made Jose think that he was still an "unlicensed" magician, and Su Ya was also going back to the imperial capital, so he naturally wanted to see the capital of this empire, and by the way, it would be good to assess his magic strength.

Three days later, after Suya had handed over all military matters to the Sistine, the sissy acting governor saw Suya and her party off under the city of Valen. Originally, according to the emperor's instructions, Long Keduo and others must also return to the imperial capital to report on their work, but surprisingly, these generals of the Moxi faction without exception claimed that they were ill during the war and could not return to the imperial capital with the Duke of Casa.

Such a statement is clear to people who know that there is a problem at a glance, and Su Ya is even more blunt with Jose in private: Longkeduo They did this, but she was not surprised at all, after all, the Moxi Army, which is dominated by Heru, is huge.

Now Heru has been detained in the imperial capital, and if they go to the imperial capital again, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not repeat what happened to Heru. Although Ronkedo and the others are not of much degree, they are not fools to fool. However, Su Ya guessed that even if His Majesty the Emperor learned the news, he would probably have to give up. After all, judging by the current situation, it seems that he does not want to start a civil war yet!

Jose didn't care much about this, after these days of getting along, he felt that these Moxi troops were far better than the hypocritical nobles who were vying for power in the imperial capital. Although most of those Moxi generals are vulgar, they are straightforward and don't have so much heart to calculate others, but they are a little cute.

When Su Ya came to Moxi, she once recruited a private army from her family's territory, which was a rule at the beginning of the empire, and nobles could recruit private troops in case of emergency, which was also with the emperor's permission. After all, the food and salary expenses of this private army are borne by the lord himself, and I am afraid that no emperor will refuse to pay for such a thing as his subordinates paying for a war by themselves.

However, for security reasons, the upper limit of the private army that Su Ya is allowed to recruit is only 5,000 soldiers. After the end of the war, it is natural to take the army away from Moxi. Coupled with Perry's remaining 3,000 cavalry, the group of nearly 10,000 troops alone marched through Moxi to the imperial capital, and the momentum along the way was quite huge.

Because there is no relationship with other outsiders, Jose naturally follows Su Ya's side, plus a cold-faced man Perry. Although the three young men have different personalities, they all know each other well, and Perry's attitude towards Jose has eased a lot since the last ambush of Barcelus.

After leaving the Moxi Province, all the way to the east is the second largest province in the northwest - Turan Province. The province of Turan is named after the end of the Turan River, a great river in the northwest. Due to the topography and environmental influences, the largest river in the northwest cannot flow out, but instead converges in the eastern part of Turan Province, forming a wide and vast inland lake, which the locals call Mu Tso Lake.

However, because such endorheic lakes cannot flow out, most of them are saltwater lakes that cannot be used for irrigation and drinking. However, because of this, it has become an important salt producing area in Turan Province.

Joseph knew that in the era of cold weapons like the mainland of Ceylon, the technology of iron smelting and salt production was not very advanced, and such a natural salt field was naturally a good thing. In fact, because of the abundant salt in the lake, the trade between the east and the west was particularly prosperous, and the commercial tax even became an important source of local finance.

Joseph and his party left Moxi Province and walked east for another three days before they officially stepped into the territory of Turan Province. At noon that day, the army arrived at Loulan, the capital of Turan Province.

Because the governor of Turan Province had already been greeted in advance, Suya and Perry's army was stationed outside the barracks outside the city. And Su Ya, as the duke of the empire, is naturally a big man, and the governor of Turan Province is only an earl according to his title.

Although there are some rumors that there seems to be some estrangement between this young duke and His Majesty the Emperor, with Su Ya's family background, even if there are some disagreements with His Majesty, he can't afford to provoke him after all. Therefore, the governor, who was already in his sixties, still greeted Su Ya outside the city early, for fear of snubbing this big man and making people laugh at him for not knowing etiquette.

Jose and his party followed Su Ya, and naturally they were treated well by the governor. When entering the city, there were many local garrisons opening the way, and the residents and passers-by on both sides of the road saw this, and naturally knew that they were afraid of some big man crossing the border.

Joseph looked at the city curiously as he listened to Gould, the fat man, introduce him to the province of Moxilin.

Originally, in Qiao Se's impression, he thought that Moxi was already an important place in the western frontier of the empire, but after seeing the province of Turan, he realized more deeply why the emperor of the empire had a cold attitude towards Moxi. The reason is very simple: compared with the Moxi Province, the Turan Province, which is also in the northwest, is closer to the customs of the hinterland of the empire in terms of customs and geographical location of the administrative territory.

Because of its proximity to the steppe people, the customs and habits of Moxi Province are very different from those of Turan Province, which is separated by a province. Most of the Moxi people have wide and flat faces, flat noses, and inconspicuous facial features, but they look very much like the appearance of the grassland people. And most of the passers-by that Qiao Se saw coming and going in Loulan City were some guys with high noses and well-defined shapes.

This was the second big city that Jose had seen on the mainland of Ceylon, but judging by the size of this town, it was even a few points larger than Valen.

Gould explained that although Moxi and Turan were part of the northwest, trade was more prosperous because of their geographical proximity to the hinterland of the empire. In addition, the geographical location is special, and it is a famous salt and iron production area in the northwest, so it is far richer than Moxi.

When Joseph heard him say this, he found that there were many merchants coming and going in the city, and the shops on both sides of the road were quite lively. However, the style of clothing on the residents and the style of the buildings on the side of the road are very different from the towns in Moxi. The province of Turan, which is close to the hinterland of the empire, is obviously more in the style of the Empire of Light than Moxi. (To be continued.) )
