Chapter 117: Yacheng

If you ask a great man, which is the highest peak in the world? Maybe half of the people will not know. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, if you ask him, which is the first male city in the world? Then he will proudly tell you - Yacheng.

Lanzhou is the center of the thirteen states of the world, and Yacheng is the center of Lanzhou. Yacheng is located in Yacheng County, Lanzhou, or rather, it is Yacheng County. Because this city is enough to be worthy of a county. Therefore, Lanzhou also benefited from this and became the second largest state in the world.

What? You say that Lanzhou is not the largest of the thirteen states? That's right, because the largest of the thirteen states is a sandbar. However, in terms of geographical location, it is located on the border sandbar bordering the grassland, which is naturally not as superior as Lanzhou.

Lanzhou is divided into eight counties, the first of which is naturally Yacheng County, which is the capital of the Son of Heaven, and the status of the county guard is far higher than that of the other seven counties. Other county guards are at most the fifth grade, and there are a few important county guards that are from the fourth grade. However, the county guard of Yacheng County is an out-and-out Zheng Erpin! It is comparable to an important member of the imperial court and a feudal official! And this position is also known as the ladder of the political hall, and before the current right minister Pang Gong, there were three governors who held this position.

This is enough to show the weight of Yacheng in the Great Dynasty. After all, where the Son of Heaven is, the capital of the world. It is also the political, economic and cultural center of the Great Dynasty.

Yacheng is located in the plain, the overall terrain is flat, but in the center of Yacheng, there is a high ground of nearly 20 zhang.

Above this high ground, is where the dragon vein of Da Zhen is located, the Great Gong Palace!

The Da Zhen Imperial Palace occupies the entire highland, and there are 9,999 palaces in it, occupying the nine extremes of heaven and earth. But all these palaces, pavilions, buildings, and high platforms are golden. That was the color of gold, and when the palace was built, it was hard to count the amount of gold. There are rumors among the people that it was built after hollowing out three gold mines with a total of 11 veins.

Therefore, the entire Dayun Imperial Palace is shining golden in the sun, just like the Heavenly Palace. In addition, the terrain is high, even if you have just stepped on the edge of Yacheng County in Lanzhou, as soon as you look up, you can see the light of the golden dome of the Dayun Imperial Palace.

Li Mu now squinted at the golden light in the distance, where was the light emitted by the dome of the Dayun Palace in the sun. Shen Li was beside him, and he was also amazed. "It is said that jasper is made of pillars, and gold is cast. Sure enough, it's brilliant. ”

Ma Huifeng stood aside and said with a smile: "It's your first time coming to Lanzhou, right?"

"yes. Li Mu's voice was deliberately lowered, because Chen Yuan was there, so he had always maintained this habit.

"There is no one who comes to Lanzhou for the first time who is not intimidated by the momentum of the palace. As soon as Ma Huifeng finished speaking, he turned back and pointed to another carriage and said, "Brothers, everyone has worked hard this way. But stick to it. Unload the goods first, and when the goods are in the warehouse, we can rest. ”

The caravan arrived at Yacheng at this time, but it was at the very edge of Yacheng's storage place. Because of the center of the world, the daily flow of people in and out of Yacheng is millions, thinking that the small city is just the junction of Lanzhou and Suzhou, and the daily population is not a small number. By analogy, the number of caravans entering or passing through Yacheng is several times, or even a hundred times, that of a small city! If all these caravans pour into the city, I am afraid that the transportation within Yacheng will be paralyzed.

Therefore, large and small storage places were set up at the edge of Yacheng, and with the river wharf in the city, they formed a place where the caravan could rest. Caravans passing through this place can either leave supplies here for a while or trade them in person. Now the caravan of the Xianheng Merchant is the easternmost storage point in it, and for a warehouse of the size of the Xianheng Firm, there are seven or eight teams in this warehouse.

Faced with such a large number of people on a daily basis, it is usually very difficult to supervise. One of the most common ways is to build high walls, open only the gates, and then send people to count and inspect them. This is the method used by almost all the great cities in the world. Although it is not possible to control 100% of the people entering and leaving, it is effective.

But the county guard of Keyacheng County didn't do that, or he didn't do such a thing since the founding ancestor discovered this place and chose to set the capital.

Yacheng is a city without walls!

It has no walls, so anyone can come and go as they please. However, if it is harmless to humans and animals, then you are very wrong! Once someone is punished in Yacheng, then the guards of the Imperial City Guard Division will immediately appear and take the person away. If it is a Jianghu person who violates the ban with martial arts, and it is not appropriate to rely on martial arts, then before you start, it is best to think about where the martial arts academy is?

Therefore, this city is actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

When Ma Huifeng finished saying this, the people of the caravan had already unloaded all the goods. Li Mu is also helping. Because in the past month, Li Mu came with the Xianheng caravan. He and Shen Li are also familiar with the caravan.

At the beginning, after Li Mu asked Ming Xianheng about the whereabouts of the caravan, he came up with the idea of going to Lanzhou under the cover of the caravan. Of course, Li Mu's excuse was that the couple went to Lanzhou to join relatives, but they were still young, and they went out for the first time and didn't know the road very well. I hope to be able to follow the Xianheng caravan.

Ma Huifeng was a little skeptical at first, but Chen Yuan was very supportive. He had doubts about whether the Li Xi in front of him was Li Mu, and if he could go on the road together, he would naturally have many more opportunities to investigate. And Li Mu and Shen Li really don't look like outlaws. If they want to rob their caravan, or have any bad intentions for the caravan, these two people don't seem to be enough. So Ma Huifeng agreed to let the two follow the caravan.

This made Li Mu breathe a sigh of relief, after all, he and Shen Li had always acted as two people. The same is true for this wanted post, so following another team should reduce some of the chances of being spotted by yourself. Li Mu himself has changed his body shape now because of the shark beads, and the beard that Li Mu deliberately left makes him look more mature. And the portrait of Shen Li on the wanted notice was a man at the beginning, but after the incident in the small town, he reluctantly changed it to a portrait of a woman. But the portrait just lengthened the hair, so after Shen Li pulled up the bun, there were still some discrepancies with the portrait.

In this way, the two of them followed the caravan together, although they passed through the county capital and saw the wanted notice, but the chance of the two being found was greatly reduced. And the people in the caravan naturally did not deliberately associate the two with the portrait on the wanted post.

As for Chen Yuan, he kept knocking on the side along the way. It's just that Li Mu is vigilant, and he insists that he is Li Xi, not Li Mu. Coupled with Shen Li's cooperation on the side, Chen Yuan finally dispelled this idea.

However, when Shen Li first learned that Chen Yuan's sister's disappearance had something to do with Li Mu, he asked Li Mu in a very strange tone. "What's the matter with his sister? Don't you claim to be the only one Ning Zhitong?"

At that time, Li Mu's answer was, "She is self-inflicted, and she can't live." ”

Shen Li's face was a little frightened at that time, she thought that Li Mu had killed Chen Yuan. However, when Li Mu finished explaining, Shen Li's attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, "This is really damned." Shen Li completely stood on Li Mu's position. It made Li Mu a little weird.

The two of them followed the Xianheng team, and sometimes they could also take the frame of the Xianheng team. There was no need to find their own way, and with the convoy to cover them, Li Mu and Shen Li's hearts also quietly relaxed. In addition to practicing his skills, Li Mu also deliberately established a good relationship with the caravan. When the caravan was unloaded and loaded, Li Mu would also take the initiative to help. came and went, and the people in the caravan also accepted Li Mu and Shen Li, a young couple.

A Sangdao person said that it would take two months for Shuzhou to go to Lanzhou, and he calculated the distance from Songyang County to Yacheng, Li Mu calculated the time, except for the time delayed in the small city, it was almost just right.

After the Xianheng caravan finished unloading the goods, Ma Huifeng hurried to find the business that had been contacted. Before leaving, Ma Huifeng let the people of the business move freely, but they should meet at the inn that has been booked for the night. And Li Mu and Shen Li put forward their willingness to leave.

The two of them used the excuse of defecting to their relatives, and since they arrived in Lanzhou, they should leave. So after reluctantly saying goodbye to the caravan, the two walked on the streets of Lanzhou.

If the streets of a small town feel chaotic and orderly, then Yacheng gives people the feeling of being orderly with a hint of majesty. Although Li Mu didn't know the name of this street, he didn't find any small stalls and vendors everywhere on the street. All the shops are one-family and open on both sides of the street. There aren't many people on the streets, so I guess I haven't reached the center of Yacheng yet.

"Now, where are we going?" asked Shen Li. She had never been to the capital, and she was very curious about everything in the city. However, she wanted to know what Li Mu wanted to do next.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Let's find a place to settle down, and then, wait." ”

"Wait?"

"Yes, waiting for a Sang Dao chief is also a monk of Waiting for Yue. Li Mu said very firmly, "Now the martial arts academy no matter which one you try in spring, summer, autumn and winter, it will be useless to me." I can only ask a Sang Daoist or Yue Jushi to guide me now. ”

"Your swordsmanship is already proficient, and you are still one step away from true qi. But when you have devoured all the true qi in your body, it is estimated that there should be no problem. Shen Li said.

Li Mu himself shook his head, "It's not that easy." When I was running for my life in the small city before, in a hurry, the speed at which the true qi brought by the shark bead was transformed by me greatly increased. But once it calms down, it seems that it becomes very slow to transform those true qi. Not much progress has been made this month either. It's easier said than done. ”

"Take it one step at a time, at least it's much faster than you can condense your true qi yourself. Shen Li comforted.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" Shen Li still asked.

"Go find a house or something, we should still have money to pay the rent. Li Mu pointed to the depths of the street and said.
