At the gate of Shuxi City, the crowd was crowded, shoulder to shoulder, one after another, one after another, so lively.

They had already learned that the city lord was about to return from his visit to the immortals, so they were waiting here.

A few hours later, an earth-shattering rumble sounded, and everyone immediately lifted their spirits and raised their eyes in unison.

After seeing more than fifty iron-blooded cavalry troops, the carriage rushed quickly.

Looking at its speed, it doesn't seem to be slowing down at all.

The expressions of the crowd changed slightly, and they immediately dispersed, and a large area was overturned in a push, push, and shout.

After the cavalry approached, the magnates and subordinates in the city bowed down and said, "See the city lord!"

Inside the carriage, a deep voice sounded: "No need to be polite, get up." ”

Sima Er in the car looked through the curtain and his eyes fell on the giant city outside the car.

The Tianshu Basin is gentle and vast, as far as the eye can see, and under the unobstructed object, it is enough to overlook hundreds of miles away.

The direction that Sima Er, Yang Xi and others entered was the west gate of Shuxi City.

A few miles away, Sima Er had already seen the towering and tall city walls.

The city wall is about ten zhang high, stretching for dozens of miles, as if a crouching behemoth is napping, if it does not move, it will carry the momentum of thunder.

There are all kinds of defensive facilities such as corner towers, arrow battlements, female walls, enemy towers, drawbridges and locks, and there are neat queues of guards patrolling and guarding the city walls, and there are even soldiers in armor and spears who are silently stationed at the battlements, and there are no less than 1,000 people in a rough count.

Under the city wall, there is a slender moat from a distance and a wide moat meandering, the Jing River goes around the city, and the ditch water flows deeply, quite borrowing the wonder of the terrain.

At this moment, the suspension bridge has long been lowered and waiting, and the road is already full of people on both sides, crowding to see the cavalry approaching quickly.

Immediately, its carriage roared past, and under the greeting of the captain guarding the city gate, it roared into the city.

A few days later, the 100,000 people of Shuxi City knew that the city lord had found a high-ranking person to return.

-----

The city lord's mansion is located in the east city of Shuxi City, facing the wall of the 'Longxi Camp' outside the city.

Standing on the sky tower of the city lord's mansion, Sima Er overlooks the distance by the railing, all the things in the city are in full view, and the eaves corner high pavilion, the pavilion of Xuanxie and the magnificent palace are unobstructed.

A deep voice slowly sounded: "Can the Dao Chief know who built this Heavenly Tower?"

Sima Ertou didn't reply and said, "Could it be that there is any allusion in this?"

Yang Xi slowly approached, standing side by side with a little half a step behind, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief doesn't know, this Shuxi City was originally called Guantian City ten years ago. ”

He glanced at Sima Er and saw that his expression was calm, as if he didn't care.

Yang Xi's heart suddenly sank, and he quietly changed his strategy, and continued: "The former Guantian City Lord's name is Yin Yan, and when he was in office, the City Lord's Mansion wantonly expropriated and expropriated the people in the fish and flesh city, making the entire Guantian City angry and the people unhappy. In this way, only half a year later, the people and soldiers in the city rioted and mutinied. Although it was suppressed several times at first, the so-called popular rebellion was like a fire, and the more pressure became more and more impatient, after several rounds of bombing, the military camps, subordinates and gentry in the city joined forces to collude, and finally overthrew the tyrannical rule of the Guantian City Lord. ”

Sima Er frowned slightly, not knowing what he meant by what he said.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Xi's painting style changed, and he said slowly: "However, after they overthrew the Guantian City Lord, they were taken over by the City Lord's Mansion Deputy City Lord. ”

He chuckled, "However, after this deputy city lord took full control of Guantian City, not only did he not abolish the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the past, but he became more and more reckless and crazy, not only deducting the military rations of the soldiers and robbing the wives and concubines of his subordinates, but also wantonly looting the people of more than ten small cities around Guantian City. ”

At this time, it suddenly rumored in the city that the Guantian City Lord was an innocent victim, in fact, the entire Guantian City was controlled by this deputy city lord, and the city lord was just a scapegoat. ”

Sima Er said lightly: "The foolish people have always been a group of short-sighted and stupid people, what is so unusual. ”

Yang Xi bowed his head and said, "Yes, but at that time, the Heaven Viewing City Lord had already died. ”

He didn't know whether it was pity or sarcasm, and said with a chuckle: "It's too late for the people to regret it at this time, but there are also many people who pin their hopes on the gods, hoping that the Heaven Watching City Lord will be reborn and remove this scourge for them. ”

After pondering for a while, Sima Er said, "Could it be that this deputy city lord is not an ordinary person?"

If you are not an ordinary person, you are a cultivator, or you are not a human being.

Yang Xi bowed his head and said: "The deputy city lord is a spy of the demon clan, and after sneaking into the city, he took the city lord's wife, children, and children under control, forced him to submit, and hijacked him to wantonly loot the elixir of the Quartet, and finally ended up like this." ”

Sima Er glanced at Yang Xi, "The city lord has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, there is no need to beat around the bush like this." ”

Yang Xi bowed his head lightly, stood with his hands in his hands, overlooking the prosperity of the city, and gently spit out a sentence, "There is a demon living under my Shuxi City, who has been entrenched in my Shuxi City for many years, disturbing Yang Mou's peace day and night, and asking the Taoist to help me get rid of this demon, and return Shuxi City to a bright future." ”

After Sima Er pondered for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Yang Xi, "This 'demon' is the deputy city lord of Heaven Viewing City in the past?"

Yang Xi narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said, "No, that big demon is the former Heaven Watching City Lord!"

Sima Er frowned and glanced at Yang Xi.

The other party smiled without saying a word, and his expression was calm.

Sima Er's eyes moved, overlooking the pavilion, as if he was about to penetrate the abyss, until he was under the abyss.

Immediately, he was surprised in his heart, and after muttering for a while, he said to Yang Xiyan: "The city lord will bring it a little, and Sima will come when he goes." ”

Yang Xi said with a smile: "Then there will be a trip to the chief of the road."

Sima Er waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "Why bother."

Immediately, he saw that his expression was calm, and he stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it down.

Suddenly, the entire eastern city seemed to shake.

Under Yang Xi's pupils, the light in Sima Er's hand was terrifying, and a strong mana fluctuation spread throughout the tall building.

Immediately, Sima Er's eyes were cold, and he shouted, "Evil obstacles, don't come out yet!"

The sound is like a rumble, and the majesty is incomparable.

However, the strange thing is that such a grand voice has not been heard in Shuxi City, and only two people have heard it.

Then, under Yang Xi's horror, a rumbling sound sounded on the ground below, and a crack the size of ten zhang snaked and cracked.

Beneath the crack, a shadow floats out of the ground.

The shadows are formless and substantial, but they are as black as ink, and they exude a chilling air that freezes people's bones.

Sima Er's eyes flickered, and a small ink-dyed sword suddenly came out and slashed downward.

The shadow screamed in an instant, and the piercing scream reached Yang Xi's ears, and he seemed to have finally woken up to his senses.

In hindsight, he exclaimed, "The Tao is long and slow!"

However, as soon as Jian Guangfu was born, he split the shadow in two.

The group of ghosts that were suspected to be the Heaven Viewing City Lord immediately exploded, and after a burst of sword light, it was completely wiped out.

After everything was settled, Sima Er turned to look at Yang Xi.

saw that his expression was dull, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

The mere Jindan Yin Soul is so vulnerable?

Sima Er smiled and said, "What the city lord said is that the city lord who views the sky is this yin ghost?"

Yang Xi seemed to have a spirit, and when he looked at the young man in front of him, he felt like a demon god.

He endured the heartache and forced a smile: "Yes, the Taoist chief is really amazing, Yang Xi admires it!"

Sima Er waved his hand and said: "It is a blessing for the boy to be able to remove this great trouble for the city lord." ”

Yang Xi forced a smile on his face, and then found an excuse to leave.

Looking at the back of Yang Xi's departure, the corners of Sima Er's mouth rose, and he didn't know whether it was sarcasm or banter.

Sima Er turned his head and looked at the city defense patrol guards and many sergeants who were shocked by the ground crack below.

Of course, there were many ghosts crying and wolf howls, screams and painful runny sounds, but it was difficult to pry Sima Er's mind.

He has no waves, no thoughts.

In a few moments, in the underground secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Xi sneaked indifferently, and more than ten powerful generals on his side were ready to go, standing solemnly.

When he had sat down on the throne, all the people fell to their knees and bowed down in unison:

"See Your Highness!"

Yang Xiying looked at the wolf, his eyes were calm, and he said slowly: "The constraints sent by the old thief have come out, it should be time for us to rescue Your Majesty!"

Everyone was solemn and solemn, and kowtowed again: "We will obey His Highness's orders!"

Qingsongguo, Songjing.

The sky is 108,000 miles, and the high pavilion is 9,700. Kyoto has been a country for thousands of years, and Li Min has been a fan for thousands of years.

The first limerick hanging in the royal study of the lord of Qingsong is well-known outside, and its author is none other than the current lord of Qingsong!

This poem was written when the lord of the country was nine years old when he played the right words in the Taiji Palace.

The rhythm and style of this poem are not obvious, but the ambition expressed is intimidating.

Especially as the second prince at that time, His Majesty the lord of the country had the ambition to rush to the sky at the age of a weak crown, which made the first emperor of Qingsong Longyan happy.

Since that day, His Royal Highness the Prince, who has become famous in Qingsong, has begun to show his grandeur.

Especially when the eldest prince Yang Xi is not famous and his talent is not available, the second son of the emperor still shows the splendid in his chest.

Many people and courtiers may have already noticed it, and perhaps since then, the first emperor has long had the intention of abolishing the elder and establishing the young.

Songjing City is located in the northeast of Qingsong, in the center of Tianshu.

This place is only thousands of miles away from the border of the Liuli Kingdom in the north, and it is even more than 800 miles away from the Black Cloud Country in the southeast.

According to the fastest horsepower of the Three Kingdoms, it is only a day's work.

The danger of this place can be seen.

When the founding emperor of the Qingsong Kingdom made Songjing the capital of the country, it was not without opposition, and it can be said that more than ninety percent of the Chinese military ministers of the palace held an opposing attitude.

Some people even kowtowed from the palace gate to the Taiji Palace, but they still failed to change the mind of the eloquent lord.

Ancient books record that when the Hanlin Academy, which was in the center, slammed into the Taiji Hall with blood on his head, it was when the lord of the country was descending to the court, his eyes were cold, and after dropping a sentence, he left directly.

"The lord of Qingsong can only die on the border, not on the couch. ”

The Tanhualang, who was in the top three in the past, was stunned when he heard this, and under the complicated expressions of the ministers of the government and the opposition, he returned to the house in shame, and after resigning from the pen, he thought about it behind closed doors for a year.

His Majesty did not pay any attention to him until he died.

But what no one knows is that the founding emperor who single-handedly created the tens of thousands of miles of territory of Qingsong passed on the dark power 'Shu Mink' in his hand to the Hanlin Academy Bingbi who risked death to admonish him.

The responsibility of Shu Mink, a combination of assassination, espionage and arrest, is one of the emperor's obscure means to control the government and the opposition.

The rest, such as armies, generals, and right-hand men, have all disappeared into the long river of history after nearly 200 years.

Only the Shu mink has survived to this day.

After the death of the founding emperor, for nearly two hundred years, almost behind the abolition of every new lord of Qingsong Kingdom, there is almost the shadow of that family.

Kitamiya clan.

The North Palace is located outside the south gate of Songjing, and its family power is second only to the royal family of Qingsong Kingdom.

Among the top ten families of the Three Kingdoms, the Beigong clan ranks fifth!

At this moment, in the south of Songjing, there is a huge palace complex with a radius of nearly 100 miles.

The palace is surrounded by a 30-zhang high wall poured, and the armor soldiers on the high wall patrol day and night, and the corner tower, the dark battlement, the female wall and even the throwing stone floor on the high wall have everything.

And what no one knows is that in hundreds of invisible dark corners, a faint spiritual fluctuation is quietly lurking.

Judging by its might, it is not weaker than the full force of the foundation monk.

It is conceivable that once the suspected magic circle within this hundred miles radius is fully fired, I am afraid that even the real people of Jindan will be hated here.

Inside the castle, there are many traps, traps, magic circles, and hidden masters.

Among the flowers, pavilions and pools, there are bright posts and secret sentinels, and they are on guard all year round.

What a bronze wall, a military fortress.

This place is like an offensive and defensive one, which can be called impregnable.

And this is the famous 'North Palace City' of Qingsong Country.

With the power of the family, occupy a city, the thoughts of the people mentioned can be imagined.

It's heartbreaking!

At this moment, above the sky ten miles away from Beigong City, a black shadow passed by in an instant.

Its speed is comparable to that of the Jindan Escape Method.

Breathe kung fu and go to the sky above Kitamiya Castle.

Immediately, the black shadow descended, and it quickly fell towards an ordinary palace in the center of the city.

With a thud, he pierced through the carved window paper and landed on the arm of an ugly-looking one-eyed man.

The black shadow fell, the wings suddenly retracted, and the cold-blooded and ruthless eyes glared at the big man, and then slowly moved away.
