Daye is divided into 12 prefectures, 36 counties, 333 prefectures, and 2,856 counties.

The country is a city, so in addition to the capital Jingzhou, the remaining eleven states are named after the city.

According to the number of counties, the ranking is Bangfeng City, Bancheng, Ruicheng, Lincheng, Qianshi City, Yicheng, Guwei City, Ziwei City, Yucheng, Luocheng and Sleepless City.

Each city has its own uniqueness, and the uniqueness of this city is that the lord of the city is the only king with a different surname in Daye Kingdom, and it is also the only throne that can be hereditary.

The capital of the city is Jinling, the long streets and alleys of Jinling, you can see a restaurant in more than a dozen steps, and you will see a flower building or theater in a hundred steps.

Zhong Xihou's sword was not on him, his sword was wrapped in burlap, and Tianqin carried it on his back.

Such a lord of the Western Lands has only brought two people with him since he never sleeps in the city.

One is the young daughter of the loyal and good music family in the city that never sleeps, Qu Tianqin, in addition to the so-called advice of three or two sentences, his stupid big commander later also stalked and cried and begged, why not take his sister out of Xicheng, how bad he would be nagged and bullied at home, etc.

Regarding this little girl, Zhong Xihou himself is also thoughtful, the girl's foundation is average, it is difficult to make a big breakthrough in the realm of martial arts, maybe it is the limit to the two poles, but the female doll has a good brain or can do something else.

The other is a ten-year-old who killed jackals, a fifteen-year-old hunting tiger and leopard, and now he is four years younger than himself, Yan Hudeliang.

After the destruction of the Yan Hude tribe, the surviving prince was still arrogant although he was down, and Zhongxi Hou also invited him with the promise of "he will return to the country one day, and Xicheng will do his best to help", and Xiao Liang became one of the wolf kings under the command of the overlord of the Western Lands.

There are just three of them, a master who dresses simply and does not smile, a dark-skinned but extraordinary master, a maid who looks like a person but has a murderous aura, and a servant who has a human appearance but a beastly smell. Just like that, the three of them, picking out one at random and walking on the street will be particularly noticeable, let alone the three of them traveling together.

"The lord of the city has sent someone to come to the city where I don't sleep, one is to negotiate with me to form an alliance and advance and retreat together, but on the other hand, it is to give a gift to the scholar and ask him to assist the king to come to the city. ”

There are many strict rules in Jinling City, and each weapon must pay taxes and silver registration, not to mention that people are not allowed to hang weapons with blades and wander around the streets. I had no choice but to wrap it tightly so that it would not be exposed, and if I couldn't hold the sword, I would change it to a fan to relieve the itch.

The city that never sleeps is a good place, but the city that never sleeps is a day of wind and sand, where do you need a fan. He had seen too much of those ink scholars who either held a pen or a fan in their hands, and he was just trying to suppress his overlord's mighty sword venerable.

As Xiao Liang said when he wrapped the sword, you Zhong Xihou can carry a sword casually, and anyone with a little vision can recognize which visitor this black-faced rich man is.

This kind of aura can't be hidden, and naturally, this sense of oppression after holding a sword is not born.

"Trabeculae. "Spit out the two words lightly, don't say much, and don't have to look at them.

The Fanbang guy nodded, he didn't take off his bag, he walked forward, his steps were light, and there was no sound.

Qu Tianqin had carefully looked at this person, she didn't know that there was such a number one person in the city that never sleeps.

"Are you wondering why people like Xiao Liang didn't join the Black Armor Army?" Zhong Xihou put his hand on his waist, grabbed the fan in his hand, and tapped it a few times.

Tianqin wanted to ask, the Black Armor Army in the City That Never Sleeps is the highest glory for a person who practices martial arts, but a character like Yan Hude did not join the Black Armor Army, but he was indeed loyal to Zhongxi Hou.

"People like Xiao Liang, besides him, there are more than 400 people in the city that never sleeps. ”

"There are four hundred people like him?" Qu Tianqin began to be confused, did these four hundred people belong to the Northern Yan Army or the Qingqi Guard?

At that time, I didn't understand this word, and I always heard this grandfather and grandson mention the word "hidden sand fox", could it be that they were referring to these 400 people?

In the military, Qu Tianqin has no courage and no strategy, some are just a passion for Zhongxi Hou, and those who have never fought in a war will not believe that their blood on the battlefield is not worth a cold arrow.

Zhong Xihou looked at Yan Hude in front of him, his steps were still light. Hunters are wild, and wild people will gradually fade away from the human sense, and they know more about the animal sense. Yan Hude is the same, he knows how to run a cheetah, he knows the steps of a night cat, and naturally, he also understands the treachery of a jackal fox.

"Each of these people has a strange nature, some are born with a thousand faces, some have ears and eyes, and some breath can frighten off fierce beasts. Xiao Liang also knows these people, he is one of the few people in the city that I never sleeps except me who knows the specific names and numbers of those people······"

"So Master Hou took him with him?"

Zhong Xihou smiled, he would not have let the people of the hidden sand fox know how many people of his kind, but who would understand that the wisdom of animals is immeasurable. A person who understands the intelligence of animals is difficult to watch out for. Since you can't watch out for him, you might as well just watch him.

"Tianqin, help Gu remember one thing, when you go back and hang out, go to the shop to see if there are any boots with cow tendon soles, don't be of the best quality. Zhong Xihou frowned and thought for a while, gestured with his hand, and added, "Probably, so big." ”

Tianqin frowned slightly, didn't dare to ask more, remembered the size, and responded with a "yes".

Yan Hude came back, his face still had no expression, and he still had the wildness on his face: "Master Hou, there are seven dead people in front of you." ”

"Seven? We just came to the prosperous place of Jinling, and we saw dead people, which is really unlucky. ”

"Four with swords, one with a sword, one with a spear, and the other with a nine-section whip. ”

"What did those people say?"

Qu Tianqin didn't understand, but listened to Xiao Liang say slowly: "There are bruises on the neck of the person who made the sword, and King Kong's arm is strangled to death." The man's hand and foot tendons of the knife were broken, the technique was delicate, and he did it in one go, and at the same time shot out a hidden weapon to cripple and then seal the throat with a sword. The appearance of the person with the spear is not abnormal, the internal injuries are too serious, the waist is broken, and the only thing that can be thought of is the fist shock of the Spring and Autumn Son. The one who makes the nine-section whip, Master Hou, might as well take a look for yourself. ”

Qu Tianqin and Zhong Xihou walked over together, Qu Tianqin looked at the four who used swords, two of them had stiff hands holding the swords, and the other two had swords still in the sheath. Zhong Xihou looked at these four people and frowned, the swordsman's sword can't even protect himself, what is the use? What's even more sad is that he has been practicing swords for more than ten years, and he has died before he even draws his sword.

"What a ······ force" Qu Tianqin exclaimed, strangling people to death like this, such a force estimate can also fight with bears empty-handed.

"This man may not be amazingly powerful, but this man's internal strength is extraordinary. Zhong Xihou squatted down close to the corpse, he pressed the four swordsmen's Tanzhong acupoints with his hands, and the acupoints were scattered, and these swordsmen were choked by the neck and used internal force to destroy the acupoints.

"Eagle Catch. Zhong Xihou spit out the word lightly, and guessed who did it, and couldn't help but smile slightly, little junior brother, little junior brother, you people in the Dusk Han Building are really naughty.

Looking at the person who made the knife and the spear, he died the same as Yan Hude said, the wound of the knife man, the ability of the four stars Zhong Xihou frowned slightly, could it be that Hui Dong came in advance? Looking at the deceased, he couldn't guess who this person was, after all, he had never traveled to the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know how many famous heroes in the martial arts were. The man who made the spear did not recognize it, and judging from the direction in which the body fell, he may have been on the same side as the knife man before he died, but he still hated it.

Evil Son, fist shock Spring and Autumn, thinking of this famous boxing master in the Central Plains, Zhong Xihou couldn't help but clench his fan, I don't know if there is a chance to ask for advice.

The last man with nine whips, Zhong Xihou couldn't help frowning, this person had no face, or his face had been cut in half, and it was difficult to distinguish.

Qu Tianqin looked at the corpse, the corpse can speak, if the corpse can speak, then the secret can't be brought to the Netherworld.

The corpse, which had only half a face, was smiling, his hands were already stiff, and the remaining half of his face was naturally stiff. His arms were straight, his hands had been forcibly broken, and his finger bones had been broken. The other hand had been wrapped around the nine-section whip, holding it tightly, but unfortunately, this weapon like a dragon could not protect his life.

"Xiao Liang, do you remember their taste?"

Yan Hudeliang nodded, and Qu Tianqin began to understand why Hou Ye would bring such a person out. But what she didn't understand was why Hou Ye chose her, if it wasn't really that stupid big guy who annoyed Hou Ye?

If they are attacked, the two of them are most scrupulous, and I am afraid that it is themselves.

Yan Hudeliang's ears moved slightly, and he said softly: "The official is here." ”

Zhong Xihou and the three of them sat in the private room of a nearby teahouse, and he looked at the people on the street. Soon, the people of the government cleaned up the scene, swept the streets, and naturally took away the corpses. Are these corpses told to relatives or dumped in mass graves?

"It's hard for me to say that if people die and don't have a soul to return to their homeland, it will be difficult for them to ascend to heaven, and many will become ghosts and stay in the place where they should have left. ”

Yan Hude sat on the railing, after the death of the country, he was accustomed to the animal world, and there was no etiquette. Even in human society, he would not be embarrassed to abide by such a system.

"Lyra, help me make a pot of tea. ”

Qu Tianqin walked away, and there were only these two people left. Zhong Xihou was still sitting, he wasn't looking at the people on the street. He looked at the man on the railing, who was there to drink from a leather jug, and Zhongxihou knew that it was not wine, but mare's milk.

"Why lied to her?"

Yan Hude didn't look at Zhong Xihou, this was his attitude, if he didn't want to give anyone a good face, he would never hide it.

"This kind of thing, after all, I am Zhongxi Hou, and I can only do it for you. ”

"Five thousand!" Yan Hude stretched out a hand, clearly marked the price, and looked like a child.

Zhong Xihou frowned and smiled bitterly, pointed at Xiao Liang's nose with a fan, scolded the "black-hearted dealer", stretched out two fingers, and his eyes did not allow a bargain.

Yan Hude's eyes rolled left and right, and he nodded.

He jumped off the railing and stood in front of Zhongxi Hou, if people could see it, he listened to the servant ignore the etiquette and asked, "Master Hou, is it in the realm of martial arts now?"

"Enough. ”

"Good. Yan Hude didn't say much, stepped on the railing again, tied the leather pot around his waist, took out a pair of claw sleeves from his arms, like wolf claws, and didn't look back, and left a sentence, "Two thousand people with horses, with armor." ”

Zhong Xihou was dumbfounded, this black-hearted dealer is really not afraid of dying.

"Lives matter. ”

I don't know if this lean barbarian man heard the last sentence, Zhong Xihou sat down and took a sip of light wine, this wine in the Central Plains is not as strong as the fruit wine in his west.

Father-in-law, father-in-law, it's been seventeen years, you should have left your name in history, what you did in the past is really worth it?

When Lyra came, Zhongxihou had already stood up, leaning against the railing, looking at the crowded street. He put the fan on the table, the fan is not a sword after all, the martial artist is not used to holding the fan, and the literati also look down on the sword.

"Master Hou, where is that wild man?"

"Go out and do something. ”

"Master Hou asked him to do something, I ······"

"Corpses can talk, naturally, and lie. Zhong Xihou didn't look back at the girl, what a city needs is not all unfathomable masters in the martial realm, what he lacks in the city that never sleeps is a strange talent like the "Trickster King".

"Tianqin, although Za Lao is not a martial artist who charges into battle, but he uses soldiers like a god, so do you know the art of war?"

Qu Tianqin lowered his waist and clenched his fists: "Master Hou can ask." ”

"What is it about avoiding its sharpness and attacking its laziness?"

Qu Tianqin raised his head violently: "What does Master Hou mean to avoid the real and attack the false?"

"Come, if I have a civil war in Daye, which city can succeed in rebellion?"

Qu Tianqin obviously didn't expect Zhong Xihou to ask such a question, and was about to answer the powerful Ziwei City, Zhong Xihou asked again: "The country has changed hands, and it may resist the jackals outside the door in an instant, and it will not be easily broken." ”

"Our Northern Yan Army ······"

"A soldier can defeat the enemy and protect the country. There is an unreasonable saying that the soldiers are drunk and lazy, and the people are very lucky. ”

Qu Tianqin didn't understand, Zhongxi Hou smiled, and didn't explain.

If there is no place for soldiers, isn't it precisely because the world is peaceful, the world is a relative, and the world is the same?

"How can there be lazy people among the black armor?"

Zhong Xihou was depressed, Qu Tianao didn't doubt his brain, could it be that this girl couldn't inherit the meticulous mind of the old man?

The Black Armor Army is extremely brave, and he is confident that no army will be more fierce than his Black Armor Army, whether it is Daye, other countries, or Sanfan Five States.

However, although the Northern Yan army is strong, it also has weaknesses, and his black-armored army can attack the sand bandits, and it is difficult for foreign enemies to defend the west of the city.

But compared to another world-famous army, the white crows of Ziwei City, compared to his black-armored army, he won the defense of the city and defeated the siege. In contrast, it is undoubtedly to attack the enemy by taking one's own weakness.

"Grandpa has been practicing knives again these days because of ······"

"Tianao is not confused, after all, he is too young, although he is old, he can only bother his old man. Zhong Xihou looked at the people on the street, those men carrying sedan chairs were sturdy and strong, "It's easy to be old, it's a pity for this time." ”

The most ruthless thing is probably the years, he can take away a person's beauty and life, and what is even more terrifying is that it can destroy a person's faith and eliminate a person's sharpness.

The hero sighs old, if those men are old, can they still carry the sedan chair of these four people?

"Master Hou, why do you care so much about those seven corpses?"

"Do you know Yan Yunqi?"

"Yan Yun, what?"

Zhong Xihou chuckled, and he didn't intend to instill everything he knew into this girl.

"What about the Yama Palace?"

"I know that Hui Dong mentioned it, and there is also a Vulture Envoy. ”

Zhong Xihou was slightly surprised, how could this girl know about the Weeping Vulture Envoy, but she didn't know that Yan Yun was riding.

And this King of Jinling also raised a group of vicious dogs that bite people without roaring, called Yi Shuihan. ”

"Yi Shuihan, Dasha said that it was an ancient sword spectrum?"

Zhong Xihou still didn't plan to tell Qu Tianqin what Yi Shuihan was.

Naturally, he had only read the information and heard some rumors. It is rumored that the people in this Yi Shui Han all practice the ancient sword spectrum of the same name, and it is rumored that it is the swordsman's invincible swordsmanship in ten steps and one person.

"More powerful than the dancing sword technique of Luohua Xicheng?"

Master, master!

When you see a person who is strong enough to suffocate you, you will feel that this is a mountain, and the person at the foot of the mountain will never see the sky at the top of the mountain, the mountain in front of you is all there is, and how can you see another mountain on the other side of the mountain.
