This night was quiet and moon-watching, but it was safe and sound.

After staying in the middle of the moon, Liu Feifang and Gongsun Yu had already fallen asleep, and Ying Tianxiang woke up once in the middle, and then fell asleep again.

As for Wang Yuelong, after admiring the moon, this guy sat cross-legged and closed his eyes on the boulder. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, when the moon is at its fullest, it is the time when the essence of the moon is at its richest. If you can practice with your heart at this moment, you will be able to temper yourself with the essence of the moon and achieve a good effect.

Although the concentration of the essence of the moon was the largest at this time, it was no longer of much use to Wang Yuelong, whose skill had broken through the boundaries of the master level of the god list. However, Wang Yuelong is a diligent person after all, and if he can carry out an effective promotion, he will not let it go easily.

And when he was cultivating, his mind was outstretched, covering a radius of 100 zhang, but he also had the duty of keeping vigil.

Fortunately, there were not too many beasts and birds around the small valley where Wang Yuelong and the four of them were, and occasionally there were nocturnal small animals that strayed in, but then they ran away again. As for tigers, poisonous snakes, lions, cheetahs, etc., they have never been in Wang Yuelong's perception.

It was safe and sound, and they continued on their way after dawn.

At this moment, the weather in mid-August is already much cooler, so the four of them don't have to walk day and night like Wang Yuelong and Ying Tianxiang did when they came before. It's just that this way, there are quite a lot of mountain roads, fortunately, the ancient Qin and Shaanxi land in Xizhou is a big plateau, although due to the destruction of perennial vegetation, the loess is exposed, and it has been washed by rain for many years, and the ravines are all over the place, in general, the mountain road is still better than the mountain road in Kuching, Zhongzhou.

Therefore, after traveling all the way, he had already arrived at Qingyang Mansion in Xizhou after only five or six days.

Qingyang Mansion also has a long history, since the legend of Yanhuang, there have been people settled here, and then it has gradually developed into a more famous city in Xizhou, and it has always been a place where soldiers must fight. The contemporary dynasty won the world, and redivided the administrative planning into five continents and four places, and set Qingyang as the government level, and assigned to Xizhou, which can be regarded as an affirmation of the thousands of years of old city.

Because it is a battleground for soldiers in history, Qingyang Mansion can be regarded as a martial arts practice for a long time. In ancient times, this place was originally the land of Xirong, and then it was also the place where the Central Plains Dynasty and the nomadic minority regime in the northwest competed. The fierce folk customs and actual combat martial arts also make the rivers and lakes of Qingyang Mansion numerous, and the masters emerge in endlessly.

Of course, because after today's son ascended the throne, the contradictions between the central royal family and the local Jianghu forces have deepened, and the government in many places has become the puppets of the local Jianghu sect gangs.

Even a large Xizhou mansion like Qingyang Mansion has been greatly weakened by the control of the central royal family over the remote Xizhou, Nanzhou and other four places in the past ten years, and the local official civil and military system is already a similar arrangement.

Now in Qingyang Mansion, it is the four major local forces in the rivers and lakes that have the final say. Almost all the economy and taxes of Qingyang Mansion bypassed the official of Qingyang Mansion and were directly collected by the four major forces of the rivers and lakes.

Even those who stood at the gate of the city to check the passers-by were the disciples of the four major forces of the rivers and lakes. According to the annual ranking of one, two, three and four, the four major rivers and lakes of Qingyang Mansion control the four city gates of east, west, north and south respectively. Ninety percent of the fees collected by those pedestrians entering and leaving the city belong to their own gangs, and the remaining one percent has to be broken in half, half of which goes to the disciples who guard the door, and the remaining half of the ten percent is to be handed over to the official of Qingyang Mansion.

As for how much can really be handed over to the official treasury of Qingyang Prefecture, it depends on how much conscience those people still have left in the process of handing it over.

At the beginning of the morning, from the official road to the east of Qingyang Mansion, four horsemen came from afar, and walked towards the city gate in a "snapping" manner. This sound of horses' hooves woke up the children of the Qingyang Zhou family who were guarding the east city gate. They suddenly woke up from their sleep, and naturally made a mess. When they had settled down, they saw four men riding on four horses, and they had stopped a few feet in front of the city gate by holding on to the reins.
