Volume 2 Slightly Named Chapter 118 The Shang Imperial Court
In the west city of Jinnan County, there are 85 horizontal and vertical lanes, each of which extends to a county official residence.
The architectural style of the buildings along the line is unique, the uniform use of red bricks and brown tiles, the houses are neatly and orderly arranged, each house presents a 5-storey octagonal building, the height is the same, the style is the same, if you look down on the Xicheng area from the sky, you will find that the whole Xicheng is like a special formation built by the building, east, west, south and north, the official mansions in various directions are the foundation of the formation.
In order to ensure the safety of the official family and their families, there is a city wall in the east, west, north and south directions of Xicheng, which separates Xicheng from other urban areas, and at the same time echoes with the official mansion.
Because most of the people living in the Xicheng area are ordinary people, their daily life depends on the weather. At this time, it was early in the morning, due to the rainy relationship, ordinary people were still curled up in the quilt, but some shrewd merchants were not afraid of the cold and opened the door early to welcome customers.
On the street of a county alley in Xicheng, there are red carriages running over the slippery bluestone slabs, and the wheels rub against the stone slabs, making a "wheeling and turning" sound, which is especially prominent in the quiet early morning.
The people who closed the door heard the sound of the neat wheels of the car, and knew that this was another county town escort going out, and I was afraid that some incidents would happen outside, so they were naturally even more reluctant to open the door and meet the official guards.
Even the merchant who opened the door to welcome the customer, when he saw the majestic and mighty city guard from afar, eagerly sat back in the building, and did not look out again, so as not to cause trouble.
The east gate of the west city has a heavy city wall of hundreds of zhang high, and there is a rectangular iron gate several zhang wide and high below, which is majestic and majestic in the distance, and it is like a moat that reaches the clouds in the cloudy weather, which makes people dare not cross.
At this time, there was a blurred figure patrolling the city gate, led by a general wearing yellow armor, he saw a blurred figure getting closer and closer in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted at the city guard in the distance: "Which general is out of the city, but there is a county guard order?"
I saw a burly man sitting in front of him, wearing golden armor, with dark skin and a solemn face, exuding a wild aura on his body, with a late stage of spiritual cultivation.
I saw a flash of inspiration in the hands of the big man, and a floating light quickly flew in front of the city gate patrol general, and the gatekeeper grabbed it, looked at it, and saw the front engraved with the word "Vast Jinnan Capital", and the back engraved with the word "Lin".
The patrol general carefully sensed the unique aura of the official inside, and did not suspect that it was fake, so he threw it to the big man casually, and said loudly: "It turned out to be Lin Bufan, where the duty lies, it's rude." ”
Although the general said "rudeness" in his mouth, his eyes were bright, his face was solemn, and his momentum was majestic, and he did not express "apologies" at all.
The big man named Lin Bufan was also unmoved, they were both bureaucrats, they were familiar with each other's duties, and the other party was just routine. He just nodded lightly and said loudly: "Lin was ordered to go out of the city, please open the city gate quickly." ”
"Open the door!" the patrol general did not say much, but shouted the order to the guards around the city gate.
With an order, the city guards marched towards the south gate of the county seat, which was the direction leading to the Lost Glade.
On the other side, three hardcover carriages had passed through the Dongcheng area and arrived at a tall city gate. Although it was still early and it was rainy, there were people at the gate of the city in front of him who went through the registration and inspection of entering and leaving the city.
"Third master, the south gate has arrived. Just as Xu Feiyang was napping and recuperating, Song Guangming's rough voice came.
"Oh, is it here so soon?" Song Shijie muttered to himself, stretched his arm slightly, glanced at Xu Feiyang, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Xu Daoyou." Let's go and see the generals guarding the city, and casually introduce you to a few Taoist friends in front of you, so as not to cooperate with each other in the woodland when you get to. ”
Xu Feiyang nodded incomprehensibly, and as Xu Feiyang got off the carriage, he turned his head to see Song Yun with his eyes closed, obviously not going to get out of the carriage.
Having said that, along the way, this Song Yun has changed her temperament, not only took the initiative to buy more than 100 pieces of various talisman seals from Xu Feiyang, but also very modestly asked Xu Feiyang for instructions on the use of talisman seals.
However, what made Xu Feiyang and Song Shijie quite embarrassed was that Song Yun actually called Xu Feiyang a senior brother, but they had to change their words and call each other "Taoist friends", otherwise wouldn't the seniority of the Song family's uncle and nephew be messed up because of Xu Feiyang.
Xu Feiyang followed Song Shijie to the front of the car, and the four people led by Song Guangming turned around and gave way to Song Shijie: "Third master." ”
Song Shijie glanced at the city gate in front of him, and then glanced at the west city, but he didn't see a figure, so his brows wrinkled at first, and then he stretched out, and said to the four people: "This is Xu Feiyang Xu Daoyou of Lingji Mountain, this time he entered the dream woodland with me and others." ”
Then he turned to Xu Feiyang and introduced the three of them: "This Captain Song Guangming and Deputy Captain Song Ming want to come to Xu Daoyou to know each other." This is Fang Ying, the deputy captain of our Song family's third law enforcement team, and this is Jin Lin, the deputy captain of our Song family's fourth law enforcement team. ”
Xu Feiyang glanced at everyone and found that several of them had spiritual realm cultivation. Fang Ying, the female cultivator wearing a pink Luo skirt, had a calm face, a round complexion, and a restrained breath, and her cultivation reached the realm of the late stage of soul building.
Another middle-aged man, Jin Lin, wearing a blue cloth shirt, had broad shoulders and a fat body, and his hands and palms were thick and calloused, and his weapon might be a club-like spiritual weapon.
"A few Taoist friends, I hope to take care of them. Xu Feiyang asked politely.
Although a few people didn't look down on Xu Feiyang's cultivation strength, they saw that Song Shijie was quite respectful, but they politely replied a few words.
While a few people were chatting, there was a sound of rolling cars from the direction of Xicheng. Everyone looked for prestige, only to see a group of vague figures appear on the foggy street corner in the distance.
As the sound of the wheels of the car got closer and closer, I saw that each of the guards was wearing a yellow suit, and sometimes a guard was wearing golden armor in the future, and there was a flag painted with a fire phoenix pattern on the vehicle, but it was the national flag representing the vast Yuan Kingdom.
The sound of horses' hooves of "ticking, ticking", and the sound of neat footsteps, a majestic picture.
Song Shijie looked at the city guards from a distance, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. When Song Guangming and the others saw the group coming, they also had solemn expressions and solemn expressions.
Although the cultivation realm of Nanmingzhou is mainly dominated by sects, in the realms controlled by those great sects, there are still some mortal realms that are controlled by big families.
The vast Yuan Kingdom and the Yanzhou Kingdom, the Nanli Kingdom, and the Gu Yuan Kingdom all belong to the mortal kingdom under the jurisdiction of Huayuan Shangzong, and the royal family of its capital is the Shang family, which is said to have been passed down to this day for more than 1,000 years, and is a veritable ancient family.
It is rumored that the Shang family once had an old ancestor who entered the Huayuan Shangzong, and after years of penance, the deacon elder who lived in the Huayuan Shangzong already had the cultivation of the Divine Infant Realm, which was also the foundation of the merchant who could always sit firmly in the royal family.
The Song family is a big family in Jinnan County, but compared with the Shang royal family, it is like fireflies and Haoyue, not at the same level at all, which is also the reason why the Song family attaches great importance to the imperial court of the national capital represented by the county guard.
After a few tidying up of his clothes, Song Shijie took the lead in walking towards the city protector with a smile on his face, while Xu Feiyang and Song Guangming stood in place, staring at Song Shijie's departing back with solemn eyes.
