Qingyun City is the national capital of the Chen Kingdom, and the reason why it got such a name is because of the towering walls of the Chen Kingdom.

The original Qingyun City was a lonely peak, and later after the founding of the Chen State, it took hundreds of years to build this capital city by the mountain, and the general mountain city is different - Qingyun City did not rely on the mountain side to build, it was from the foot of the mountain winding up, built a pyramid-shaped city.

Later, a wall as high as this mountain was built out of bluestone on the outskirts of the city. Therefore, when outsiders look from the outside, they can only see the huge city wall towering into the sky, and Qingyun City is also named after it.

The Qingyun Palace on the top of the mountain is the palace of the Chen Kingdom, and the following point is the residence of the Prince of the Chen family, which is completed in a circle around the Qingyun Palace.

The next circle is the duke's palace of the famous Five Great Princes, which are known as the Five Pillar States of the Chen State and are the backbone of the Chen State.

The rule of the Chen State is very interesting, the monarch is Chen Xuanming, and there are five principalities below, and the five major princes each guard one side, and only the area of three hundred miles near Qingyun City is the territory of the Chen clan of the monarch.

These five principalities divided the remaining land of Chen, among them, Qi Bolie, the Duke of Qi who guarded the northeast, was the most powerful, and he accounted for almost one-third of Chen's land. However, the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility, the Qi family principality is adjacent to the Tongtian Sect and the Tang State, and it also independently supports the defense of the northeastern region of the Chen State.

The Qi family had to defend against the attack of the two great kingdoms alone, and you must know that these two families were both countries where the law was in charge! If the Chen State was too weak, no matter who these two families were, they would have already destroyed the Chen Kingdom. Therefore, it can also be seen that the strength of the Qi family should not be underestimated.

The remaining northwest belongs to the Principality of the Chu Family, and the Duke of Chu Zhongcai actually borders the Tongtian Sect, but the towering Sacred Mountain Haotian Mountain Range lies between the Principality of Chu and the Tongtian Sect, becoming a natural barrier between the two countries.

Since the Haotian Mountain Range has a special meaning to the Tongtian Sect and is a holy mountain in their minds, the entire Tongtian Sect will not be close to the Haotian Mountain Range.

Therefore, don't look at the Chu family's largest territory, but it is equivalent to being in the hinterland of the Chen State, except for the security under the rule, there is no precautionary task, so the entire Chu Principality is fertile for thousands of miles, and the country is peaceful and peaceful, it is the granary and hinterland of the Chen State, and of course, it is logical to become the richest principality among the five principalities.

The northwest is the principality of the Yan family, the southwest of Yan Shuping, the prince of Yan, there are many mountains and rivers, the people are fierce, and there are many indigenous people who do not accept the king, it is the smallest and poorest principality among the five principalities, but the Yan family has been operating in this place for generations, and even the aborigines of all ethnic groups in the Yan principality have been subjugated, and the emperor of the mountain has lived leisurely.

In the west is the Duchy of Wei, and Wei Ji'an, the Duke of Wei, occupies another plain in addition to the Duchy of Chu, and it is also another grain-producing area of Chen, and his life is also very nourishing.

The richest is in the southwest, the reason why the horse of the Ma family principality is so rich is completely because of the geographical location he occupies is too good, the southwest is connected to the only outlet to the sea in the entire continent to the west, and there is a magical mountain range on the entire continent, that is, the Haotian Mountain Range.

The entire mountain range of the Haotian Mountain Range is all towering into the clouds, and it is difficult for birds to cross, and it winds around the continent in a circle, except in Chen Guo, a piece is recessed inward, and a Chen Guolai is circled.

The people of Tongtian Sect said that the Haotian Mountain Range was a holy mountain, and mortals were not allowed to enter it, and people outside the Tongtian Sect also believed it, because this Haotian Mountain Range was too magical.

The entire mountain range is towering into the clouds, and there is no short mountain pass in the middle of the continent that can be passed, only a section of flat land is cut off in the Chen country, like a city opened a big city gate to pass, and the current Qi family principality is guarding there.

There can only be one explanation for this, this is a wall created by the ancient sages and powerful people on this continent, there are many ancient texts in the Tongtian Sect, and now some have been deciphered, and the ancient texts confirm this statement, the ancient monks called this mountain the Haotian Mountain Range, and said that it was to build Yunyun to resist the underworld.

And the Chen Kingdom is equivalent to a suspension bridge on the moat outside the gate of the entire mainland city, and the Ma Family Principality occupies the other end of the suspension bridge.

The Principality of the Ma Family is the passage connecting the Hai family's fiefdom Linhai County and the Chen State. The Hai family made a fortune by going to the sea trade, but the Hai family was short of grain and little rice, and the bitter sea salt side of Linhai County had to find Chen Guo to buy grain, while the Ma family was connected to the Wei family's grain production plain, and every grain of rice bought by the Hai family had to pass through the Ma family, and every piece of goods obtained by the Hai family and sea trade had to go through the Ma family to enter the Chen country.

Therefore, the Ma family principality didn't have to do anything, just eating the Hai family's toll money was enough to make a lot of money.

Speaking of which, many people don't understand, it sounds like the five principalities rule the Chen country, so why do you want to serve the Chen family as the lord of a country?

Here, I have to admire the wisdom of Chen Zhang, the ancestor of the Chen family who established the Chen State.

The Chen family led by Chen Zhang is a family of cultivators, and he is also a Faxiang monk, he led the people of Chen to fight for many years, and finally forced Tang to sign the alliance under the city, and gave the entrance of the entire continent to Chen Zhang to establish the Chen State.

The reason why there is no mention of Tongtian is because there was no Tongtian Sect at that time!

After that, Chen Zhang made the five families who followed him and made great military exploits into principalities, called them the five pillars of the establishment of the Chen State, and divided the land for them according to the size of their merits. This is also the origin of the Five Duchies also known as the Five Pillar States.

And near Qingyun City, where he built the capital, only two hundred acres of land around him were left for the Chen family.

When he was in power, one was that he cultivated to a high level, and the other was that these major principalities were sealed by him, so there was no war, and what is surprising is that after his death, these five principalities did not appear to be highly meritorious, to seek the Chen State he established, and the reason for this is that he cleverly divided the five pillar states.

The power of these five pillar countries is not equal, and the geographical environment has caused those who have food to have no soldiers, those who have soldiers have no money, and those who have money have no food. As a result, the five pillars have formed a delicate balance.

The Chen family became more and more declining after Chen Zhang's death, but the five pillar countries did not dare to move, because it was easy to overthrow the Chen family, but it was impossible for the five families to cooperate to overthrow the Chen family, because there was only one throne, so no matter who overthrew the Chen family, they would have to face the joint counterattack of the other four, even the most powerful Qi family.

If the five families can form an alliance, then they can only elect one to sit on the throne, and it is a universal truth that this country cannot have two kings, so who will sit on the throne?

If everyone doesn't sit down, what's the difference between that and what is now?

The clever Chen Zhang kept the throne he passed down by showing weakness, and it has to be said that it can be regarded as a way to find another way. I have to admit here that none of the guys who can build a kingdom are fuel-efficient lamps!

The nominal monarch of Chen is Chen Xuanming, but the actual power is in the hands of the five principalities, and the monarch of Chen is just able to collect the filial piety of the five principalities every year and be a king of peace.

From this point of view, in fact, the Hai family is the son-in-law of Chen Guo, but what really needs to be tied up is the principality of the Ma family adjacent to him. So now, Chen Ying, the lord of Linhai, is in the house of Ma Menggang, the duke of the country, and accompanies the duchess of the country to talk about it.

But at this time, Mrs. Ma did not hold the shelf of the Duchess of the Kingdom, but sat side by side with Chen Ying, took Chen Ying's hand, and said to Chen Ying with a sincere face: "If the health table is really effective, my family's dream can be regarded as really saved, Lord Chen, you are really the great benefactor of my Ma family!"

Chen Ying smiled and said: "There must be a role, the Taiyi God Sect came out of the upper realm, and they are all magical powers passed down by the Golden Immortals, and the things they created will never be wrong, but there is one thing, this is not a salvation, this health platform can only continue to live, and it is only a hundred years."

If the concubine considers herself the benefactor of the Equestrian family because of this favor, it is too ignorant of current affairs. ”

Mrs. Ma sighed and said: "A hundred years is already good! Meng'er was diagnosed by the imperial doctor a few days ago, and Shouyuan has not been able to pass for two months, so Lao Ma will go to ask the lord of the country to make a baby banquet, and now he can have an extra hundred years of life out of thin air, isn't that a life-saving?"

The so-called baby snatching banquet has a long history in the Lingtong world, because the Lingtong world has broken too many inheritances, so the methods are not sound, and the chance of becoming a baby is very small, this is a natural disaster, not the kind of man-made disaster created by Qin Shanhe and Li Cheng, but the result is the same.

It is difficult to make a baby, so when the longevity of the monk is approaching, the Jindan monk will gather all his relatives and friends to hold a baby-snatching feast, which is actually equivalent to a life sacrifice.

Because the infant is nine deaths and a lifetime, not to mention that many Jindan have not been successful in the end, and they cannot meet the conditions for rushing the baby at all, but whether they can rush the baby or not, they will hold the baby banquet, which is just a good blessing for people, and I wish the monk can succeed in taking the baby and become a real person from now on.

And the Principality's baby-snatching banquet is a little different, because the Principality is hereditary, and the Duke of Equestria is now in its prime, but it is also necessary to set up His Royal Highness as early as possible, in case there is any accident.

And if there is no biological heir, you have to choose an excellent inheritance title in the five major families or the Chen family, although the past son will be surnamed Ma, but in fact, it has nothing to do with Ma Menggang. Therefore, the baby snatching banquet is actually equivalent to Ma Menggang announcing that he has no heirs.

Ma Menggang has always been in a difficult situation, just such an only son, he was born weak and sickly, and finally built a foundation under the support of countless elixirs, and after nearly a hundred years of hard work, he finally got the golden pill.

But this Jin Dan is congenitally insufficient, it is not at all a complete Jin Dan that the three souls are gathered and jumped out of reincarnation caused by ordinary monks, and soon after he becomes a Jin Dan, the Jin Dan is dim.

At that time, some people asserted that even if this child had Jindan, he would not be able to live for ten years, and sure enough, when he came to the ninth year, he was close to running out of oil.

And at this time, the health table given by Chen Ying is really a lifesaver!
