Chapter Ninety-Seven: The City Gate Checkpoint

At this time, it is already night, but the sun in the sky still exudes warm sunlight, illuminating every inch of land in Tianshu City, if it is this time in the past, even if the sun is high, there is no difference between night and daytime, and the people in Tianshu City are mostly resting at home, although there are also pedestrians coming and going on the street, but after all, it is a minority.

But today is very abnormal, the streets and alleys in Tianshu City are full of pedestrians slowly moving forward, and almost the entire people of Tianshu City have walked out of their homes, walked onto the streets, and followed the team slowly.

Because just today, the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch, the monarch of the Heavenly Pivot Country, who has not appeared for a long time, wants to announce a news, and he wants to reveal his true face in front of all the people of the city.

You must know that before this, whether it was the people in Tianshu City, or the soldiers guarding the city, or even those officials in charge of various important positions in Tianshu City, they had never seen the true face of the Lord of Tianshu Country, Greedy Wolf Star Monarch.

When the Heavenly Pivot Lord Greedy Wolf Star Monarch appeared in front of the people before, he was covered by a cloud of black light, and he never showed his true face.

There are also many rumors in Tianshu City, some say that the monarch greedy wolf star monarch was disfigured many years ago, so he covered his face with black light, and did not want the world to see his terrifying face.

Some people also say that the monarch is greedy for wolf star in order to hide his identity, so he has always refused to show his face.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, today the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch has ordered the whole city to show his true face on the council stage, and who doesn't want to see the true face of the monarch who has lived in Tianshu City for many years?

Therefore, almost all the people in the city gathered in an orderly manner along the streets and alleys to the council in the center of the city.

Even some monks who traveled around in Tianshu City slowly walked towards the council platform under the strange gaze of the people of Tianshu City.

Outside Tianshu City, there were still dozens of miles away from the gate of Tianshu City, so Mo Ran and his party fell into the clouds, changed to walking, and walked briskly along the avenue leading to the gate of Tianshu City.

This is because Tianshu City is the capital of Tianshu Kingdom, and the extremely powerful city defense barrier has naturally been opened, although Mo Ran and his party are also quite numerous, and their cultivation can be regarded as a small achievement, but they have seen how powerful this kind of city defense barrier is during the bloody battle in Dusk City, and they also think that they don't have the ability to break through the city defense barrier, so they take the disguise of ordinary people to disperse, mixed with those real city citizens to enter the city,

Along the way, they had already passed several checkpoints, and although those soldiers were very strictly inspected, Mo Ran and his party still followed the people who entered the city without danger and slowly approached the gate of Tianshu City.

Along the way, Mo Ran and Yang Liu'er were sandwiched in a team of hawkers, walking slowly, the leader of this hawker seemed to be in and out of Tianshu City frequently, and he seemed to be very familiar with the soldiers who checked in these roadblocks, and he did not check his caravan along the way.

As they passed through the penultimate checkpoint beyond the city gate, the leader of the vendor greeted the leader of the non-commissioned officers at the checkpoint, and then stood side by side, chatting quietly as they watched the soldiers at the gate inspect the long line.

Mo Ran and Yang Liu'er leaned slightly closer to the chatting two without attracting the attention of others, and they heard the conversation between the two.

"Commander Zhang, why are there more checkpoints to be inspected today than before, and the intensity of the inspection is much stricter than usual, is there something happening in Tianshu City these days?"

The corner of the hawker's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he said: "The shopkeeper Niu has not been in the city for the past few days, and he doesn't know what is about to happen, and the monarch of our Tianshu Kingdom, the greedy wolf star monarch, is going to take a concubine." ”

The shopkeeper Niu looked thoughtful and asked slowly: "I remember that the previous news didn't say that the lord of the country would only take concubines during the Lantern Festival?

Commander Zhang nodded, and said: "This is the news from the monarch's mansion early this morning, saying that the monarch wants to take a concubine in advance, I didn't believe it originally, but I gave an order early in the morning, the entire Tianshu City is on guard, increasing the checkpoints, and only allowed to enter and not leave, such a formation, I am afraid that this news is true, besides, at this moment, all the people in the city have gathered on the conference platform in the center of the city, waiting for the monarch to announce the news of marriage." ”

The shopkeeper said thoughtfully: "So that's the case, no wonder today's inspection is unusually strict and cumbersome." ”

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, the shopkeeper Niu glanced left and right, and then asked in a low voice: "The woman that the monarch wants to take as a concubine is really a girl who is only 12 years old, as the rumors say?"

Commander Zhang also looked left and right, unusually vigilant, his face showed a mysterious smile, and he whispered: "Most likely, tsk...... The taste of our monarch is really unusual, hehe......"

The shopkeeper Niu also showed a hint of a smile, and then looked at the team that was like a long dragon, and continued to ask: "Since Tianshu City is under martial law in the past few days, and only entry and exit are allowed, why are there so many people rushing into the city?"

Commander Zhang said with a smile: "The monarch's concubine today is a day of great joy, and there will naturally be countless red envelopes scattered, and most of these people who are rushing into the city are going for those red envelopes." Moreover, there is another problem that has plagued everyone for a long time today, that is, our lord Greedy Wolf Star Monarch wants to reveal his true face after announcing the news of his concubine, for those of us who live in the Tianshu Kingdom, it is natural that we desperately want to see the monarch's appearance. ”

"What? The monarch wants to show his true face today?" said the shopkeeper Niu with a little surprise, he has been reselling goods back and forth between the major cities of the Heavenly Pivot Kingdom for decades, and he has also seen the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch from afar in some of the commemorative day activities of the Heavenly Pivot Kingdom, but he has never seen the true face of the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch, and the wish to see the true face of the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch can be said to be the wish of the people living in the Heavenly Pivot Country, and today the wish has been realized, can everyone not be excited.

"Then I am really in a hurry today, thanks to the extra mile traveled yesterday, otherwise, a day later, I would have missed the opportunity to see the face of the king. The cattle shopkeeper said secretly happy.

The conversation between the two fell into the ears of Mo Ran and Yang Liu'er word for word, Mo Ran and Yang Liu'er both frowned, glanced at each other, and saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.

Why did this greedy wolf star lord show his true face today, and why did he keep covering his face with black light? What is he hiding?

The two of them were thinking about it, only to hear a commotion at the city gate near them.
