Chapter 4 Nine Dragons and Guardians

Located in the eastern part of the mainland, the Academy is the highest institution of learning on the entire continent, and all countries will send elites to study in it.

It is said that those who can rank in the top 20 at the graduation ceremony at the graduation ceremony are the pillars of various countries in the future, and those who can rank in the top five will definitely be famous in the future.

The Academy does not belong to any country, so its inclusiveness is very strong, even if it is a demon clan far away in Nanling, there will be children who come to study.

The demon clan in Nanling is very mysterious to ordinary people, and there are indeed demons in this world, but they have always been well water and not river water with the human race, and there are even occasional exchanges and walks.

Demons don't eat people, the so-called monsters will eat people are just adults made up to scare children, after all, only as a demon clan know how unpalatable human flesh is......

On the other hand, there will be some people who will be carried away by interests and hunt demons, because there is a very precious thing in the demon race, which is called the demon core, which is the source of the demon clan's strength.

The demon core is the purest kind of energy crystal, which has the effect of prolonging the life of ordinary people, and can make people who practice martial arts strengthen their bodies and improve their martial arts, and for those who have crossed the threshold of cultivation, they can improve their realm.

However, poaching demon cores is a serious crime, the human race and the demon race have an alliance, and the human race often sends heavy troops to guard outside the territory of the demon race, so as not to let those greedy people cross the thunder pool, but for the sake of money, there are still many people who take risks.

Correspondingly, there is also a very valuable hard currency circulating among human beings, that is, the ink core, which was created by those people in the Karakuri City, and can urge the core items of the machine, the higher the quality of the ink core, the more powerful the machine will be.

Karakuri City is also one of the largest forces on this continent except for the Nine Kingdoms, and it is the kind of rich and rival country, and it may have more wealth than the Nine Nations combined, because they will sell weapons and weapons driven by the Mexican nuclear to various countries, as well as various siege equipment, and will also be invited to participate in the construction of city defenses.

It can be said that many of the military buildings in the Nine Kingdoms were built by the people of Karakuri, and on this basis, can the people of Karakuri not make money? However, this also leads to the fact that Karakuri City must maintain absolute neutrality, otherwise it will be destroyed by the Nine Kingdoms together, and even if Karakuri City is rich, it will be useless.

Karakuri City is only for the sake of shrinking turtles, maybe Karakuri City is strong enough, but as long as it is besieged for a few months, even if the city is not attacked, the people inside will starve to death.

Having money does not necessarily mean that you have power, but if you want to make money after having power, you will definitely have money.

Orphan Village.

"Mother, I don't know when the child will return, if there is something for Uncle Zheng to come to me. Liu Chu looked at her mother's busy figure and sighed softly, in fact, there are so many things to pack, a few clothes and some dry food plates are stuffed in a bag, but she is in a mess.

"You've never been far away, so be careful when you're out of town. Long Ke'er turned around and said, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, she didn't want to be seen by Liu Chu.

"Mother, don't worry, I still have the strength of a five-rank martial artist, Uncle Zheng said that this strength can be regarded as a leader in my father's army before, and it is enough for self-protection. Liu Chu comforted.

Long Ke'er was really slightly relieved, a sixteen-year-old five-grade martial artist, such a person with martial arts talent is rare, as long as he doesn't meet those martial artists who have gathered his strength and cultivated, it is indeed enough for self-preservation.

"Take this jade pendant and put it away. Long Ke'er put an item in Liu Chu's hand.

Liu Chu looked at the thing in his hand and was slightly surprised, "Mother, are you sure this is a jade pendant?"

What Long Ke'er gave him was clearly a round jade piece the size of a fingernail, which can also be called a jade pendant?

Long Ke'er glanced at Liu Chu, "The family is poor, so you should treat it as a jade pendant." ”

Liu Chu smiled awkwardly and carefully put away the "jade pendant".

At noon, after eating, Long Keer sent Liu Chu to the entrance of the village, tied the burden for Liu Chu, and sorted out his clothes well.

"I'll finish Daddy's unfinished business. Liu Chu didn't have much hypocrisy, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left directly.

Long Ke'er looked at Liu Chu who was drifting away in a trance, and her mother was worried.

The disabled veterans in the village spontaneously organized themselves and knelt on one knee, even if they were missing legs, they maintained their kneeling posture with the support of others.

"Congratulations to the young master!"

Liu Chu, who had walked out for several miles, paused, and his heart trembled, as if he saw the picture of thousands of troops and horses fighting on the battlefield rushing towards him.

"Liu is invincible!"

Liu Chu roared, the wind was just right, and the sound traveled along the wind, reaching the ears of the veterans at the gate of the village a few miles away.

When all the veterans heard it, they immediately stiffened their faces, bit their lips stiffly, and they didn't know who led the head, so they cried bitterly first, which instantly detonated the suppressed emotions of everyone in the audience, and everyone cried loudly, how many years, it must have been more than ten years, and today someone finally shouted these three words.

Since the Liu family army was suppressed sixteen years ago, all the Liu family soldiers have held their breath in their hearts, and today these veterans heard the words "Liu Invincible" again, as if they heard the horn of war sounding again, and the Liu family army defeated the enemy.

"Liu is invincible" is the title given to Liu Warring States by the enemy, and it is also the slogan of the Liu family's army, and it is also the invincible belief in their hearts!

"Invincible!"

"Invincible! Invincible ......"

I don't know who shouted first, and the veterans' cries became louder, and they shouted, and there was clearly something called hope hidden in this cry.

The Orphan Village was located in the southern part of the Great Wei Dynasty, but after annexing half of the other eight kingdoms, it already belonged to the central part of the Great Wei Dynasty. However, the imperial capital called Chang'an is located in the north of the Great Wei Dynasty, from the orphan village to Chang'an, there is no two months to go, even if it is a fast horse, it will take more than a month, not to mention that Liu Chu does not have the capital to lease the fast horse, so he can only go slowly.

Among them, Liu Chu had to pass through five states, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yongzhou. After annexing half of the area of the other eight states, four new states were established, namely Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Jiangzhou, and the regional division of the remaining five states was also slightly adjusted.

When Emperor Wei was in Xiande for ten years, he not only changed the original Chen State to Wei, but also changed many things, including the establishment and names of various regions under his rule.

Nowadays, the local administrative units at all levels are divided into state capitals, counties, counties and villages, according to nine grades and eighteen levels, the largest is the state pastor, followed by the government lord, then the county lord, then the county lord, and finally the village head.

The state pastor is basically a second-grade official, the head of the house is the third grade, the county lord is the third grade, the county lord is the fourth grade, and the village chief is the fifth grade.

King Chen, who is now Emperor Wei, has really changed a lot of things in the past ten years, but there is one thing he has done very well, that is, no matter how it changes, it has not caused any public resentment, as long as the people live well, the country can be stable for a long time.

"Have you heard, His Majesty the Emperor is really seriously ill now!"

"Cut, it's no secret for a long time, what else is there to say. ”

"No! It is said that Her Royal Highness the Princess will handle the affairs of the court for the time being! It seems that our Majesty ......"

Liu Chu took a big sip of the tea bowl while listening to the conversation of the guests at the other table, and raised his eyebrows slightly, although Emperor Wei's serious illness was not a secret, and everyone knew it a few years ago, but it was so serious that he couldn't handle the government?

If Emperor Wei dies suddenly, then the empire that has just been rebuilt will surely be shaken! Some people, after all, will not be able to bear it, and there are always people who want to sit on the empty seats on the Jinluan Hall and try it.

Liu Chu moved his ears and heard the sound of horses' hooves, about a dozen or so horses, and when he got closer, he found that it was a group of people wearing black official uniforms, and at the same time, he saw that the person at the next table hurriedly covered the mouth of his companion, if their remarks were heard by this group of people in black official uniforms, they would be afraid that they would shed a layer of skin.

"The court lieutenant of the prison. Liu Chu muttered to himself in a low voice.

The prison is one of the six departments, which is led by the court captain and assisted by one person from the left and one from the right prison. There is a saying in Dawei that it is better to go to hell than to prison.

Entering the prison can make you taste all the sufferings in the world, but you can't die yet, in front of the prison and the oil pot, people would rather choose the oil pot to jump off for a hundred. To some, Tingwei is a demon in human skin!

And the prison is the nineteenth layer of hell outside the eighteenth layer of hell in the underworld!

"The world is not going to be peaceful. Liu Chu took the tea bowl and drank it all, got up and looked at the direction where Ting Wei was gone, Dawei, a behemoth that had been established for less than ten years, seemed to be gradually falling apart.

Hurry up and hurry, finally arrived in Yongzhou before the beginning of spring, and then there are seven or eight days of footsteps to Chang'an, the fifteenth day of January of the lunar calendar is the day of registration, the registration lasts until the end of January, and then in early February, it will begin to be selected layer by layer, screening out ten young people, these ten young people known as the "seeds of hope" will be supported by the state to train, enter the Lulu Academy to study.

There are nine cities outside Chang'an City, if you look down from the sky, the building specifications of these nine cities are like nine dragons, and Chang'an City is like a pearl, meaning that the Nine Dragons are guarding a pearl.

These nine cities are Baoan City, Wei'an City, Shou'an City, Hu'an City, Xing'an City, Sheng'an City, Fu'an City, Taean City, and Han'an City.

The four cities of Baoan City, Wei'an City, Shou'an City, and Hu'an City have 10,000 permanent forbidden troops each, and the remaining five cities have 2,000 permanent forbidden troops each. Another 50,000 forbidden troops are stationed in Chang'an City, with a total of 100,000 forbidden troops!

Only an empire like Great Wei can afford to raise a well-equipped and powerful 100,000 forbidden army.

In the four cities of Bao'an City, Wei'an City, Shou'an City, and Hu'an City, there are some ministers in the palace who live, and there are more people living in Xing'an City, Sheng'an City, Fu'an City, Tai'an City, and Han'an City.

However, the area and population of these nine cities together are less than half of Chang'an City, which makes Chang'an City even more majestic.
