Zhongzhou, located in the middle of the Tianlong Empire, the boundless Zhongzhou Great Plain gave birth to the dragon clan with the dragon as the totem, originating from the two great rivers of the majestic Kunlun Mountains of Yongzhou in the west cross the Zhongzhou Great Plain, these two rivers are the Qinluo River in the north of Zhongzhou and the Tianhe River in the south of Zhongzhou.

These two rivers are also the earliest birthplace of the dragon family, the two emperors of the dragon clan Yan and Huang used here to unify the Central Plains, established the earliest dragon country, and since the two emperors, hundreds of generations, as far as a hundred dynasties, Zhongzhou This land of outstanding people is the heart of the Central Plains, and it is also where the dragon vein of the emperor is located, and even has Yanjing after 28 dynasties, located in the Tianlin Emperor of the Dragon Ball.

Rolling Qinluo River, endless prosperity, endless stories, history is like the fallen leaves floating on the river, no one remembers, let the long river roll up, dissipate in the waves.

It is the spring flood in April, the water of the Qinluo River soars several times, the reeds on both sides of the river are submerged in a vast ocean, and the large river boats swim on the river, there is a kind of water and sky handover, swimming on the sea illusion.

Li Yuanba, the little land overlord, was completely wilted, seasick and seasick, vomiting all kinds of meat and vegetables, and his legs were shaking, it was hard to imagine that this little overlord who faced the fifth-order snow-patterned tiger and the fourth-order iron-backed bear did not change his face was so afraid of water, and God blessed him with divine power, so he wanted to take away another thing, this may be the way of heaven.

This river boat is specially located on both sides of the riverbank, and there are hundreds of pedestrians crossing the river on the two-story big boat at this moment, but compared to this big boat, it is not too crowded with these people: "Boat family, this river looks like there is no end, how wide it must be!"

"Hehe, little brother crossed the Qinluo River for the first time!" said the boatman, curled his mouth into a dry tobacco pouch, licked his chapped lips and said: " 30,000 miles of Qinluo, 80 miles of water river, even the sky and the earth, 3,000 lakes, this is the Qinluo River, Qinluo River originates from the west Yongzhou Tianji Kunlun, Haohao soup soup, turn cool, stand secluded, turn to Zhongzhou, the last road and east and Qingzhou into the sea, it is rumored that there are 30,000 miles from west to east, as for how wide this Qinluo is, eighty miles of water is not an exaggeration, usually this Qinluo River is only twenty or thirty miles wide, but every year in the spring flood, the summer flood comes, the widest part of the river has hundreds of miles, now this river is because of the spring flood skyrocketing, enough to have two or three times the width of usual, it is not unusual！”

"Eighty miles of water, tsk!" This Qinluo River is really wide enough, I don't know how wide it is compared to the largest river on the earth, but it is precisely because of Qinluo and the Tianhe River in the south that there are thousands of miles of Zhongzhou Yuan: "What are the three thousand lakes talking about!"

"Three thousand lakes refer to the lakes formed on both sides of the Qinluo River in Zhongzhou, of course, these three thousand are not real numbers, how many there are, I haven't calculated, but it shouldn't be less!"

Leng Zhuo looked at this Qinluo River, and his heart throbbed for no reason, which reminded him of a poem written by Mao Taizu, **, which led countless heroes to bend their waists, although Leng Zhuo is not a hero, but at this moment he is also excited, these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are as magnificent as picturesque, so that he also has a trace of the idea of hegemony in his heart.

After crossing the Qinluo River, the group rested for a day at the Qinluo River ferry, and then bought a carriage in the market town next to the ferry.

I traveled all the way to the south, walked for four days, and this time I came to the Meridian City, a big city in the south of Luofu, Zhongzhou, paid the gate tax, and entered the Meridian City.

"Xiao Er, your best dish is eight plates, and there is a pot of rice steamed buns, if there is a roast suckling pig or roast sheep or something, come to one!"

The shopkeeper who was in charge of greeting was also stunned when he heard the shouts of the guests who sat down, but then reacted and said, "Wait a minute, table seven, eight plates of specialty dishes, a roasted whole sheep, a pot of rice, and a drawer of steamed buns." ”

"Xiao'er, the biggest basin in your store is only so big?" Leng Zhuo looked at the rice basin brought up by the shopkeeper, and it was estimated that it was not enough for Li Yuanba to stuff his teeth: "That kind of big wooden basin, come to a basin, understand!"

The corners of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched, but he still nodded again and again: "Understood, understood!"

I don't blame the shopkeeper for this reaction, for Li Yuanba, who can eat a cow in one meal, the rice in a big wooden basin is really not much, Leng Zhuo can hardly imagine that Li Yuanba's tall and thin body is not as tall as his own, it can hold so many things, as if his stomach is a bottomless pit, and he doesn't know how much he eats, if it weren't for the 20,000 golden ticket when he was in Phoenix, it is estimated that even eating is a problem.

Leng Zhuo only ate much, most of them were swept away by Li Yuanba, and there were not even enough, and he added eight more dishes, so he barely burped: "Xiao'er settles accounts!"

"A total of two gold, five silver and thirty bronze, the shopkeeper is exempt from the fraction, you give two gold and five silver!"

One meal caught up with what he had eaten for ten days, took out the money, handed it to Xiao Er, Leng Zhuo said: "Xiao Er, how long will it take to get to the nearest town from the south of Meridian City!" The map, in the Tianlong Empire, belongs to the state, and it is a felony to possess it privately, so Leng Zhuo can only go all the way south, ask all the way, and the other is to record the places he passed along the way and draw a simple map.

"The guest is going south, it is estimated that you will have to rest in Meridian City for one night, and it will take a day to go south from here to the nearest town!"

"One day, why is it so long?" Leng Zhuo's face was also slightly gloomy, you must know that Zhongzhou has been rich since ancient times, although the two big rivers are often a little awkward, but they have irrigated hundreds of millions of fertile fields on both sides of the river, plus the five hundred years of peace in the Tianlong Empire, the population is as large as a cow's hair, this way to the south, almost three miles to a village, five miles to a town, twenty miles to a city, how to get here, but it takes a day to have a town.

"I'm not lying, you're from another state, guest!" Leng Zhuo nodded, and Xiao Er explained: "Then you should have heard of Lost, Forgive, and Terminate the Three Cities!"

Leng Zhuo collected his memories for a while, and finally nodded, The Lost City, Forgiveness, and the Termination of the Three Cities is also known as the Three Great Places of Death by the Empire, the Lost City was founded by the first emperor of the Tianlong Empire, the Emperor of the Heavenly Sage, and the city imprisoned the Li royal family of the previous dynasty, as well as the die-hard followers of the Li royal family, and left them to fend for themselves, and took the name Lost, which means a place where the road and light have been lost.

The City of Forgiveness is the seventh emperor of the Tianlong Empire, Emperor Tian Yuan was established, Emperor Tian Yuan is the second master of eloquence after the Emperor of the Heavenly Sage, Tian Yuan has been prosperous for thirty years, it is the culmination of the prosperity of the Tian Long Empire, and the Tian Yuan Emperor is the most vicious to corrupt officials, but all officials who have committed corruption, injustice, favoritism, and disorder will be assigned the city of forgiveness, and then for more than 400 years, this city has become a place of exile for criminal officials.

The City of Termination was set up by the 29th Emperor Shenwu, which imprisoned the royal family, nobles, and their followers who rebelled a hundred years ago, as well as those who were not enough to be killed, but unforgivable rebels (there were too many of them, and they were killed to hurt the heavens and peace, so they were drawn as prisons and left to fend for themselves).

"Our Meridian City is the gateway to the north gate of these three cities, there are two battalions of soldiers stationed in the city, specifically responsible for blocking the north, and there is no road to continue to the south, the official road is to go southeast and southwest, and the southeast is a one-day journey is the sub-lock city, blocking the northeast of the three cities, in addition, there is a city in each of the eight directions, and it is also a cage with eight gates, and within these eight gates is the forbidden land, there has always been only entry and exit, and only the dead can come out!"

"It's just three cities, how did you get such a big battle, run for a day, how big is that circle!" Leng Zhuo also asked curiously, although there was a brief overview of these three cities in the book, it was only a brief introduction, but it was not explained in detail.

"Hehe, don't you know, guest, the Lost City has been more than five hundred and forty years since the establishment of the Heavenly Sage First Emperor, and there were millions of people who were imprisoned in the Lost City back then, and more than five hundred years have passed, and now the population of the Lost City is as high as ten million!"

"Besides, the city of forgiveness is similar, although the population is smaller, but there are millions of people, many of them are generations, more than ten generations, and although the city of termination was established the latest, it is also hundreds of years old, and there are no less than two million people who were imprisoned and entered, these three cities add up to 20 million people, and the land with many people is naturally a lot bigger, but it looks like the land is not small, but in fact, the annual production in the field cannot support such a large number of people, and I don't know how many people die every year!"

"Is this so possible?" Leng Zhuo was really stunned, the book didn't say that the people of the three cities were as many as 20 million, and they were all unforgivable people, in other words, they were all untouchables who were countless times lower than slaves.
