Jinling City encloses thousands of miles, the wall is high and the city is strong, the outer city is eighteen gates, surrounded by four waters, it is incomparably majestic, it shows the solemn atmosphere of the capital city of a country, and there is an awe-inspiring and inviolable momentum under the distant view.

Tianhuo traveled down the mountain this time, refining his heart in the red dust, confirming what he had learned, broadening his horizons a lot, and improving his attainments in feng shui and public opinion a lot, especially the method of looking at qi.

The feng shui pattern of Jinling City is really good, and the non-top feng shui master can not choose such a place to build the city, which really responds to the saying of "the dragon and the tiger, the capital of the emperor, the prosperity of literature, the handsome characters, the beautiful mountains and rivers, and the magnificent weather".

What is even more commendable is that the blessings here are continuous, and the most quintessential origin of the Chinese people is retained, and the Song Kingdom is set to be the capital here, so the country is becoming stronger and stronger.

The three of Tianhuo quickly passed through the thirty-mile village on the outskirts of Jinling City and entered the range where Jinling City was located.

The thirty-mile village outside Jinling is home to a large number of farmers and craftsmen who depend on the capital for their livelihood, and they provide the city with a daily supply of food, vegetables, and other necessities of life, but are not qualified to live in Jinling City.

Even the nearest suburban villages are not allowed to be built within the range of fifteen miles of the outer city wall of Jinling, so as not to affect the garrison vigilance of the capital, so a no-man's scenic belt about fifteen miles wide is formed between the suburban villages and Jinling City, which increases the fun of watching the scenery along the way for people who are ready to enter Jinling City, and also adds a solemn sense of ceremony.

Every morning, the hard-working peasants and merchants in the suburbs of the city will get up on the fourth watch, hurriedly pack up, or walk, or drive livestock, or set a car to Jinling City to sell their agricultural products or handmade products, and some people go to Jinling City to look for opportunities to do odd jobs, and some people who live far away even need to get up on three watches.

Therefore, in the second half of the night, there will always be a long army of traders and laborers with torches outside Jinling City, gathering under Jinling City along the main road and path, and the scene is spectacular.

The garrison work of Jinling City is also very well done, and there are many pavilions and guards in the fifteen, ten, five, and one mile outside the city, which are responsible for inspection and early warning work along the way, ensuring the safety of the capital.

The merchant labor team began to inspect, pay taxes, and enter the city from the hour, and generally did not enter the city until three o'clock in the morning, and then the prosperous day of Jinling City began, and it was all because of the existence of these toiling people that the prosperity of Jinling City was supported today.

When the three of Tianhuo came down from Zhongshan Mountain, they were very fast, and when they arrived in the south of Jinling City, most of the merchants and laborers had already entered Jinling City, and they did not see the scene of tens of thousands of people crowded, but through the signs of the loess being trampled on the road, it was completely possible to imagine the grand scene when everyone was waiting for the city gate to open.

Tianhuo was not in a hurry to enter the city, he was going to wait for the merchant labor team to fully enter the city before entering the gate, and at the same time to observe the majestic city up close.

The place where Tianhuo stopped was the Fengtai Gate in the southwest of Jinling City, which was the smaller gate among the eighteen gates of Jinling, and even so, Fengtai Gate was the most majestic city gate that the three of Tianhuo masters and apprentices had ever seen.

Tianhuo couldn't help but look up at the gatehouse of Fengtai Gate and the majestic city wall, there is a rare tall city wall in the inland city of Dongshengzhou, which is twelve zhang high, which can be compared with the city wall of the Tang Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom.

The city wall made of hard granite and basalt polished and built has been baptized by the wind and frost of the years, and the city bricks near the ground have long been covered with layers of moss, which have long been covered with a very thick layer, and the original color and texture of the city bricks cannot be seen at all.

Tianhuo really wanted to go up and touch the city wall and test its hardness, but the Song soldiers who were in charge of the guard of Fengtai Gate on the side didn't look easy to mess with, and he was looking at the three Tianhuo masters and apprentices coldly.

The Song soldiers were discovering the three Tianhuo masters and apprentices early in the morning, and the three of them were dressed differently from those merchants and laborers, but they were not like ordinary business travelers, because ordinary business travelers did not want to live in a village on the outskirts of the city the day before, but lived in a town with better conditions and farther distance.

In this way, the normal time for business travelers to enter the city will generally be around noon when the city gate is more relaxed, and it happens to miss the time when there are more people entering and leaving the city at the time of the hour, the hour, and the hour, so there is no need to queue up and do not delay the meal time.

It is very rare for a business trip like the three of Tianhuo who travel lightly and without carriages and horses, and it is very worthy of attention and investigation, especially when the three of them are close to the city gate, they are not in a hurry to line up to enter the city, but are looking around, which makes the Song soldiers sure that they are suspicious.

Sure enough, when the crowd queuing in front of the Fengtai Gate gradually entered the city, and when scattered merchants began to go out from the city, the three suspicious people still did not enter the city, but pointed at the city gate and the city wall and whispered.

Recently, the military has conveyed a "circular on vigilance against infiltration of cult members" to officers at and above the rank and head of the military at all levels, urging officers at all levels to pay close attention to those with suspicious deeds.

The leader of the group is good-looking and talented, and is responsible for attracting foolish people and stupid women to spread cult ideas, his assistant is responsible for making suggestions and tricks, and his assistant is responsible for abducting and deceiving people, and his assistant is responsible for coercing and oppressing the good with force.

The Song soldiers were deciding that they couldn't wait, and a strong sense of responsibility and patriotism drove him to fulfill his personal duties, so he cleaned up the military uniform on his body, tightened his belt, pressed the circlip of the waist knife, and tried to see if he could pull it out smoothly.

Team Zheng heard that the cult and demons were very powerful, although Song Guo had not heard of a cult spreading for many years, it was better to be careful, and Team Zheng called two brothers with the highest martial arts to go with him.

Tianhuo was explaining the glorious history of Jinling City to the gray kite and the green cow, and the two of them were heartbroken, and frequently sighed at the long culture and history of the Chinese people.

At this time, three military men suddenly approached in front of them, and the three of them didn't pay much attention to the actions of these mortals at first, until the three military men approached within three zhang, and the three of them looked up at the three military men at the same time, with a look of surprise on their faces.

The team and two of his subordinates came over with a menacing attitude, ready to scold the three suspicious people first, overwhelm each other in momentum, and then take them down and torture them carefully.

However, the eyes of the three Tianhuo swept over, and the team and the two subordinates only felt a cold on their bodies, as if they were pressed by a heavy object, and their tremors could no longer move their steps, and cold sweat gushed out from their backs.

Tianhuo saw that the three military men did not have too much malice, so he suppressed his momentum and said gently: "A few military masters, is there anything wrong?"

The gray kite and the green ox also saw that the three military men were just ordinary mortals and did not threaten, so they also restrained their momentum, stopped paying attention to them, and raised their heads to continue to look at Jinling City.

The three military men felt light, and their hands and feet finally regained their mobility, they knew that they had encountered a hard stubble that they could not deal with, and at this time they had long lost the determination to make meritorious contributions and sacrifice their lives for the country, no matter whether the other party was good or bad, they would pass this pass first.

The team reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "A few masters, the little ones have nothing to do, seeing that you have not entered the city for a long time, you may not be familiar with Jinling City, so I want to come up to introduce you to the situation of Jinling City, and it is also convenient for you to understand Jinling City, I don't know what the masters are going to do when they come to Jinling?"

Qingniu raised his head and glared at Team Zhengdao: "Who are you, are you going to interrogate our movements?"

Qingniu is eight feet tall, with eyes like copper bells, and his voice is much louder than the average person, which makes the team's ears buzz.

The team's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Don't misunderstand this master! The small one is the rotating team of this Fengtai Gate, responsible for maintaining the safety and order around the city gate, I don't dare to interrogate the movements of the three masters without long eyes, and I am indeed here to serve the three masters." ”

Tianhuo waved his hand to stop Qingniu, and said warmly: "Master Jun, don't panic, the three of them came to Beijing to study from Xuanji Mountain, Wanshui County, Xuanwei Prefecture, Yunnan Province, Yunnan Province, because they have never seen such a majestic city in Jinling City, so they can't help but stop and watch for a while, causing inconvenience to your work, please forgive me." ”

As soon as the team heard that it was a student, their mood immediately relaxed a lot, and they wanted to say two words to save some face, but when they saw the green cow staring angrily on the side, their momentum immediately weakened again, and they muttered: "Dare to ask if the three are all students?"

Tianhuo glanced back at the gray kite and the green cow, and said with a smile: "I am the only one, and the two of them are my housekeepers and guards, and I can only reach the capital by relying on them to take care of me all the way." ”

The team nodded hurriedly, and asked boldly: "Yundian Province is far away from the capital, many people may not have traveled such a long way in their lives, it is really not easy for you to go all the way, I don't know if Gongzi can have a road guide issued by Wanshui County or Xuanwei Mansion? ”

Tianhuo didn't like to oppress ordinary mortals, so he naturally had to cooperate, so he turned around and let the gray kite take out their path and hand it to the team.

The team is taking the road guide with both hands and opening it to see, sure enough, it is the road guide issued by Xuanwei Mansion, as well as the double seal of Xuanwei Mansion and Wanshui County.

But the only suspicious place is that this is a blank road guide, Yunnan Province is far away from the capital, it is impossible to go directly to the capital without passing through any state and county along the way, according to the conventional road guide there will be a few state, county and county survey seals, but this road guide is not anywhere.

The team was firmly remembering the address and name on the road guide, so he handed the road guide back to Tianhuo, he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke these three people, so he could only report this matter to Shangguan for decision, and he couldn't make any more extraneous troubles at this time.

The team bowed down and said, "Childe, your path is correct, and you are welcome to come to Jinling City to study." There are no people at the gates of the city at this point, and you can enter the city. ”

Tianhuo nodded, took the gray kite and the green cow Shi Shiran into the Fengtai Gate and walked away.

One of the soldiers whispered, "Chief, just let them in? I think they are suspicious, and they haven't paid the city tax yet." ”

The team slapped the soldier on the head and scolded: "Grandma, you're smart! I'll send you to chase after you to collect taxes!"

Xiao Bing straightened the bandana that was slapped crooked by the team and said aggrievedly: "Boss, I just said casually, don't be angry, you don't dare to go, how dare I go?"

The team said hatefully: "You guys are guarding here, and if any suspicious characters appear, they will all be taken down, and I will report the situation just now to Shangguan!"
