The Ming Yan Empire, the imperial capital of the Ming Yan Empire, is located in the core of the empire, and as a city with a history of thousands of years, the prosperity and vastness here have also reached an incredible level. Moreover, as the economic and political center of the empire, unlike other chaotic places, it has strict legal rules and countless masters. With the empire and many masters guarding it, no matter how unruly those genius demons from all sides of the empire are, but here, they don't dare to be too presumptuous.

When Xun Qiu hurried for about half a day without stopping, the towering mountain peaks in front of him crossed, and a vast city with almost no end in sight filled his eyes with a little shock.

The towering walls were as high as the sky, and finally spread in both directions, but when the line of sight came to an end, the spread of the wall did not stop.

After leaving Fangyuan City, Xun Qiu can be regarded as having seen many large-scale cities, but compared to the city in front of him, it is really a small thing.

In the sky outside the city, the sound of breaking wind was almost one, and countless figures swept from all directions, and finally fell outside the city, Xun Qiu also knew that they had to fall three miles away from the outer city of the city, and walk instead to show respect for the imperial family.

In that overwhelming figure, Xun Qiu could detect some extremely weak aura, and there was a look of amazement in his eyes at the moment, it really deserved to be the first city of the empire, and the strong people who appeared here, both in quantity and quality, had reached a very high level.

This is the real Crouching Tiger, full of heroes!

"Boy, since the sky above here is a no-fly zone, let's enter through the main entrance. Demon Nian looked at the huge city that appeared in the distance, and also spoke.

That's exactly what I mean. Xun Qiu nodded, he also knew something about Huacheng.

After entering the city, Xun Qiu found an antique two-story attic restaurant, the first time he went to this place, he still found a place to fill his stomach first, although for cultivators, he could go without eating for dozens of days, but the deliciousness of these wines and dishes was not comparable to those mountain springs and wild fruits.

"What? There's no room on the first floor, aren't all those tables empty?" said Xun Qiu as he stood in front of the counter with some displeasure.

For Xun Qiu's impatient feelings, the shopkeeper was very polite, and said with a smile: "I see that you just came here, you don't know our rules here, although these tables are empty, they have been booked by others, so I can only apologize." ”

Xun Qiu is helpless, the imperial capital is different, and there are many rich people, "Okay, okay, then give me a second-floor private room." "Eating a private room alone, forget it, it's a big deal to break the bill once, anyway, I don't often come to this kind of place.

The shopkeeper had a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he still patiently explained: "I'm sorry, the private rooms on the second floor are all booked by some regular customers all year round, so they are also ......."

"So you're not doing my business today?" Xun Qiu's face was a little unsightly, he didn't even have a place to eat after driving for such a long time. But it's good that it's him, or if he changes to a person with a bad temper, he really might smash his storefront.

"But the guest officer can book a seat on the first floor, and there are a few seats at noon tomorrow. The shopkeeper skillfully explained the situation, obviously it was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Xun Qiu rolled his eyes, and booked a seat for tomorrow at noon, is he so greedy that he has to hang himself in this house?

"Please stay here, officer. At this moment, a stout man who looked like a guard stood in front of him.

Xun Qiu raised his head and looked at the guard of the Heavy Condensation Soul Realm in front of him, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart, this kind of cultivator is the guard, so what kind of character does his master have to be?

"Is there something wrong with this friend? We don't seem to know each other. Xun Qiu's brows furrowed, and he said vigilantly.

"My master is invited?"

"If the kid remembers well, he doesn't have any friends in the imperial capital, and your Excellency must have recognized the wrong person and said goodbye. As he spoke, he bypassed the middle-aged strong man.

Shout!

When Xun Qiu passed by the other party, the strong man stretched out his hand violently and pressed it towards Xun Qiu's shoulder, feeling the fierce palm wind, Xun Qiu did not make a move, the black shadow puppet on the side had flashed to the side, and the palm of his hand was raised, and the palm of the middle-aged strong man was scattered.

"Third child, don't be rude. At this time, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded from Xun Qiu's ears, Xun Qiu looked around, but found that with his current cultivation, he couldn't tell where the voice came from, but he could be sure that this voice could only be heard by him and the middle-aged strong man.

"I don't know where my friend is. Xun Qiu responded coldly.

"The little woman has no malice, as the so-called friends come from afar, but she wants to do her best to enjoy the friendship of the landlord, and she also invites the son to appreciate the light. The smiling voice came again.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid of ......"

"Come on, don't you want to know something about Zhang Jingyao?" The pleasant voice came again, but in that voice, this time with the charm of victory.

"Labor leads the way. When Zhang Jingyao's three words pierced his ears, Xun Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the guard of the Soul Condensing Realm, and said.

"Your side, please. The Soul Condensing Realm guard turned to the side, leading in a direction, and Xun Qiu followed him along the wooden ladder and walked upstairs.

Pushing open the door of the private room, the guard of the Condensing Soul Realm made a gesture of invitation to Xun Qiu, that is, he was guarding outside the door of the private room, Xun Qiu settled down, and walked in, there were a few delicate side dishes on the wine table in the private room, and two high-angle wine glasses were already full.

Xun Qiu's eyes looked back along the wine table, where a beaded curtain was covered, and an elegant figure could be vaguely seen sitting with his back to this side.

"Childe appreciates the light, and the fluff shines. As soon as this person's words came out, Xun Qiu could confirm that the person who had talked to him in the air before was undoubtedly this person.

"The little woman is ugly, and she is afraid of scaring her son, so she can't show her face, and she hopes that her son will forgive her sins. The woman's voice was soft and pleasant, and she was obviously not very old.

Xun Qiu sat down at the table, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, "Thank you for the girl's hospitality, I don't know what the girl is calling to come up, what is the purpose, what the girl said before, I think it took a while to collect information, right?"

The person behind the bead curtain smiled, as if responding and sighing, "What a sensitive person, changes can always make a person make the biggest change in the shortest possible time, I originally thought that the son of Wei Guogong ruined his reputation for a lifetime, but now it seems that he is blue." ”

"The girl doesn't seem to answer my question, so many evasions, is it because of a weak heart?"

"The little woman has no long things, but the news is a little better than the average person, the son has been training outside for many years, how many dangers have been encountered, and they are not all overcome one by one, and now how can I start to be afraid of a weak woman. "The woman's voice is neither soft nor hard, but there is no flaw at all.

Xun Qiu didn't say anything, just looked at the elegant and slender figure behind the bead curtain, and the woman seemed to be waiting for Xun Qiu to speak again, and for a while, the atmosphere was a little weird.

"How are you going to help me, and what do I need to do for you?" Xun Qiu knew that this time the finals of the rookie battle were held in the Kaiping Empire, and he couldn't forget that place.

"Gongzi is really a smart person, to be honest, although your current cultivation is not weak, but if you go to the territory of Kaiping, if Zhang Jingyao wants to take your life, I believe it will not take much effort, after all, against an empire, with your current level, it is still far behind. The woman's music was raised, a little less soft, but more and more clear and clear.

"So what?"

"So I can help you get rid of the troubles that the Kaiping Empire will bring to you at that time, which is why I am looking for you. Xun Qiu can imagine that at this time, there must be a smile on the corner of this woman's mouth, but even if he knows that this is a layout with some ulterior motives, he has to listen to it.

"You've been talking about me until now, and you haven't told me what I need to do for you?" These things are what Xun Qiu needs to care about the most at the moment.

"It's very simple, I just need a commitment, of course, this is in the long run, and in the next few days, there may be something that needs your help. When the woman said the promise, Xun Qiu clearly heard a hint of tiredness in the other party's voice, but he didn't speak, because he could feel that her words didn't seem to be finished.

"Childe needs ready-made help, and what I want is the promise of a future immortal to take what he needs. The woman paused, and then said, "Actually, this promise is very simple, I just hope that you can help me keep this land." ”

Xun Qiu sneered and asked rhetorically: "You help me deal with the threat of a royal family, but I want to help you protect an empire, no matter how this business is counted, I will lose a lot of money." ”

The woman shook her head, "No, this is not a business, but a gamble, I paid ready-made strength, but the gamble is an unknown thing, since I put forward such conditions, it is naturally a matter of waiting until you have that ability, isn't this a gamble?"

This woman turned out to be pressing the treasure on his future.

Xun Qiu's heart was clear, he looked at the other party with burning eyes, and said: "It's a good explanation, it seems that I have no reason to ask for any other explanation, so what do I need to do now?"

Regarding Xun Qiu's response, the woman did not have any emotional fluctuations, and seemed to have expected such a result a long time ago, "It's good that the son agrees, as for other things, when necessary, I will naturally look for you again." ”

Xun Qiu nodded, poured a full cup for himself, drank it all, and then stood up, and said behind the bead curtain: "Thank you for the girl's hospitality, and I will say goodbye." ”

"I don't send it. ”

After the woman finished speaking, Xun Qiu also pushed open the door and left straight down the wooden ladder, and after half a sound, the Soul Condensing Realm guard at the head of the door pushed open the door and half-knelt on the ground in the private room, and the woman behind the bead curtain said lightly.

"Go back to the palace. ”
