Jiuli City, it is rumored that this city was built by the god of war Chiyou, and the Emperor started here, and now it is the new royal capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, which is simple but does not lose its prosperous appearance, even in the whole wilderness, there are few cities that can be compared with it, Jiuli City can be divided into three parts: outside, middle and inside, let's introduce them in turn.

The outer city of Jiuli is the place where ordinary people live, and it is also the most prosperous place in the entire Jiuli City, there is the most prosperous market in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, almost the entire Great Wilderness can be seen in this market, the taxes generated by every transaction here are very huge, even Taikang every wine pond meat forest can barely maintain the balance of payments, and the station of the eight major sects in Jiuli is also in the outer city, coupled with a variety of heroes and heroes, making the outer city of Jiuli mixed, but there is also a variety of capable people mixed in it.

Jiuli Zhongcheng is the residence of all kinds of dignitaries, there is no bustling bazaar, there is no large number of heroes, but there are all kinds of high-end places here, such as high-end teahouses, high-end restaurants, high-end courtyards, etc., these places ordinary people can not afford to consume, but for these dignitaries and nobles are nothing, and the people who can do business here generally have a lot of backstage, otherwise it is difficult to do left and right among these dignitaries.

The inner city of Jiuli is the residence of the royal family and the center of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is also the most important place in the entire Jiuli City, it can be said unceremoniously, if the inner city of Jiuli is destroyed one day, then the entire Great Xia Dynasty will fall into incomparable chaos, even if it is not attacked by the hidden capital, the Great Xia Dynasty is very likely to fall apart by itself, of course, the premise is that the luck of the Great Xia Dynasty has run out......

And now in the secret room of a large mansion in the inner city of Jiuli, a secret meeting is being held, this secret room is full of various rune inscriptions, most of which are used to isolate external exploration, it can be seen how cautious the master here is, at this time there are four people in this secret room, one of them is wearing a gorgeous robe and sits high, and the remaining three are kneeling under it, only to hear the person on the throne say slowly: "What is the situation in the palace recently?"

One of the three on the far left came out of the ranks, this person was wearing an official costume, and it looked like he should not be of low grade, this person respectfully saluted to the people on the throne and said: "Report to the Lord, Taikang's body has been declining recently, although it has been diagnosed and treated by the master of Bingxintang, it has not improved, and the guards of the palace have suddenly doubled in recent years, if you don't go on a business trip, Taikang should be running out!"

"Well, that's reasonable, you stand down first!" the person on the throne waved the first person away, he was silent for a moment, apparently digesting the information that the first person had said, and after a moment he asked the person on his right, "What is the situation with the people in the near country?"

The person on the right is dressed as a businessman, but the clothes on his body are not owned by the kind of big businessman, but like a small businessman with thin assets but small scale, this person heard the question of the person sitting on the throne and saluted and said: "Tell the Lord, the impact of the battle of Tianhe Pass ten years ago has now gradually faded, and the people's dissatisfaction with Taikang is very loud, if Taikang can't do everything he can, it is likely to cause a civil uprising!"

"Yes, that's what I want to see...... You step back too!" The person in the audience waved away the second person again, and finally looked at the person in the middle, the person in the middle was dressed as neither a businessman nor an official, but an ordinary hero, but compared with the ordinary heroes of the rivers and lakes, this person's clothing is obviously more advanced, it is obvious that this person is very good in the rivers and lakes, this person saw that the person in the audience looked at him, and without waiting for a question, he saluted directly and said: "Report to the Lord, there is no big move in the eight major sects of the near ri, and all of them are the same as the previous ones, but... ...”

"But what?" asked the man in the seat, and the third said with some hesitation, "But...... However, it is rumored that the person who had been sleeping in the Ice Heart Hall for ten years had woken up before ried!"

"You mean...... Well, this is very useful news, if this is the case...... "The people on the throne pondered for a moment and waved their hands to signal the three of them to leave, and after the three of them saluted, they left the secret room through three different secret passages, and the people on the throne also came to the ground through a secret passage, and the sun shone on this person's face, and we found that this person was actually Taikang's fourth brother, the fourth son of Xia Qi, who was eyeing the throne, Zhongkang!

Early the next morning, the palace held a court meeting according to the custom, the original court meeting of the Great Xia Dynasty was once a day, and the ministers would hand over the important official duties of yesterday to the king to decide, which was originally a rule set by Xia Yu, but because Xia Qi was greedy for pleasure in the later period of his reign, and the time-consuming and laborious thing of the court meeting would naturally be hindered, so under Xia Qi's order, the court meeting was first changed to once every three days, then changed to once every five days, and finally changed to once every ten days, and then changed to once a month when Taikang was in power, in fact, from the frequency of the court meeting, it can basically be seen that the reigning king's xing character and ability。

The head of the military attache is the old general Ding Yong, the old man who is over seventy years old is still full of spirit, he defended the country with a horse, and resisted stubbornly in the face of the invasion of the army of Youdu, and kept the old capital Xiling and the royal family safe, he was deeply supported by the military and the people, and he stood at the head of the military attachés is well-deserved!

And standing in the first place of the civil official is Zhong Kang, although Zhong Kang is ambitious to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, but for various reasons his ideas have not yet been put into action, as the so-called' Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, when Corporal Wang Mang Lixian ', when Zhong Kang did not really seek to usurp the throne, no one knew his true purpose, although there were many ministers in the court who felt that Zhong Kang had a problem, but after all, he was the younger brother of the emperor Tai Kang, as long as he did not really show his fox tail, he could always stand in the first place of civil officials, and no one could shake his position!

With the eunuch shouting, Taikang yawned and walked into the palace, behind him followed by the great master Yanli, and then the eunuch and the female official, when Taikang sat on the throne under the gaze of the civil and military officials, he looked at the people below and said without joy: "Zhongqing has something to do early, if there is nothing to do, then retreat!"

With Taikang's words, this time the court meeting finally began, the civil and military officials have come out one after another to present this month's important matters to Taikang, and some important matters to ask Taikang to decide, Taikang obviously does not like to deal with these political affairs, except for a very small number of Taikang slightly interested things, most of the political affairs Taikang let the ministers make their own decisions, so soon the court meeting has come to an end, Zhong Kang saw that the time was almost up, so he came out of the column and saluted and said: "Brother Qiqi, brother has something to play!"

"Oh...... What's the matter with Brother Wang?" Taikang looked at Zhong Kang with interest and said, I don't know if Taikang is too dull or Zhong Kang is too well hidden, in Taikang's impression, Zhong Kang belongs to the kind of person who often doesn't take the initiative to speak for a long time, but when he speaks, he is often important, so whenever Zhong Kang has something to report, Taikang will mention Jing Shen and stop for a moment, only to hear Zhong Kang say: "Brother Wang, I don't know if you have heard of this person?"

"Fantasy...... Fantasy...... Xuan Fantasy ......" Tai Kang put on a thoughtful look, but the corner of his eyes looked at Yan Li, the great master standing beside him, it was obvious that Tai Kang didn't remember Xuan Fantasy, not to mention that Tai Kang had never seen Xuan Xuan himself, even if he had seen Tai Kang, he might not be able to think about it at this time, after all, it was ten years ago, but although Tai Kang didn't remember, Yan Li was deeply impressed by the young man who repelled the jade girl, and after hearing Zhong Kang's words, Yan Li said: " I don't know what the fourth prince is talking about, but the young man who rose to prominence in the battle of Tianhe Pass ten years ago?"

"It's him, the great master is good to remember!" Zhong Kang smiled and nodded and said, at this time, when he heard Yan Li's words, Taikang had a slight impression, but it was just a little impression, firstly, the last time Xuan Fantasy appeared was ten years ago, and secondly, Tai Kang didn't care much about things other than eating, drinking, and having fun, he could remember that Xuan Fantasy was enough to show how famous Xuan Fantasy was back then, but it was not easy to say how much that fame was left now.

"Why did Brother Wang suddenly mention this person?" Taikang asked with some incomprehension, why did Zhong Kang suddenly mention this person who had not appeared for ten years, only to hear Zhong Kang say: "Brother Wang, please be calm and not impatient, and listen to the courtier's brother slowly, ten years ago, the 500,000 troops of Youdu invaded Tianhe Pass, and General Dingyuan felt that Youdu was too powerful to resist, so he issued a recruitment order in the Great Wilderness, calling on the heroes of the rivers and lakes to go to Tianhe Pass to help in the war, and Xuan Fantasy was among them. ”

"It turned out to be a ......person in the rivers and lakes," Taikang said with a little disdain, Taikang was born in the royal family since he was a child, and he has a natural contempt for the rivers and lakes, and now he heard Zhongkang actually mention a person in the rivers and lakes at the court meeting, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, and this psychological change also appeared on his face, Zhong Kang smiled secretly when he saw this, Taikang's current expression is exactly what he needs, and only in this way can his next plan be carried out.

"Brother Wang can't despise him just because this person is from the rivers and lakes, he is the one who defeated Qiye and Yujizi!" Zhong Kang said with a smile, Taikang immediately became stern when he heard the name of Qiye and Yujizi, Taikang can become the king of the Great Xia Dynasty, naturally it is impossible to be a straw bag completely, in fact, Taikang inherited Xia Qi's excellent mind, but unfortunately his mind was not used in the right place, but Taikang will never be confused when it is time to use his mind.

For Taikang, he is only afraid of four people in his life, the first person is his father Xia Qi, although Xia Qi is relatively mediocre in the later part of his reign, but his power over the years cannot be underestimated, so even Xia Qi's sons are a little afraid of him, although Taikang is the eldest son, he will not be an exception.

The second person is the old general Ding Yong, the old general Ding Yong is like Wen Zhong to Taikang, Xia Qi once asked Ding Yong to guide several sons in martial arts, although in the end there is only one martial arts concept that is now the seven nights of learning, and only one seven nights are also sentenced to Youzhou, but Ding Yong's strictness has also entered Taikang's mind, and it is precisely because of the old general's suppression that Taikang is greedy for enjoyment, but he has not done anything too out of line.

The third person is now in the dark capital of Qiye, at the end of Xia Qi's reign, the political struggle within the Great Xia Dynasty became more and more intense, Qiye's mother and wife were framed by Taikang's mother to join the sword-casting furnace, and then were integrated into the evil sword, and Taikang's mother is now dead, so Qiye's revenge object is Taikang, who knows that Qiye is powerful, Taikang has not slept well since then, but fortunately, the border defense of the Daxia Dynasty is quite strong, and Qiye has not succeeded in revenge.

And this fourth person is Yujizi, the Great Xia Dynasty originally had two national teachers, respectively held by the disciples of Yunlu Xianju and Taixuguan, the position of the great teacher has been firmly controlled by Yunlu Xianju for various reasons, and Taixuguan had to succumb to the position of the two national teachers, although Taixuguan is a Daomen, but due to the evil shadow, there are also some disciples who are more likely to be impulsive, these disciples are dissatisfied with Yunlu Xianju perennial occupy the position of a great teacher, and always feel that Yunlu Xianju has invisibly pressed Taixuguan, so under the instigation of these disciples, Taixuguan intends to send one of the two geniuses of Taixuguan at that time, and Yujizi, who was the sect master of Lizong at the time, became the new teacher of the two countriesUnder this background, Yujizi came to Xiling City, which was still the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty at that time, and met Taikang, who had just ascended the throne at that time.

Taikang still remembers it very clearly, when he first saw Yujizi, he knew that this person was not simple, don't look at the jade Jizi at that time, he looked like a light and cloudy Taoist, but Taikang clearly saw the infinite desire for power from Yujizi's eyes, this desire is like an invisible fire, if the time is right, the entire wilderness will be burned, it is precisely because of the outstanding first impression that Taikang remembered Yujizi to death, and the desire in Yujizi's eyes also made Taikang deeply afraid!

So later, when the ancient bronze gate was opened, the army of Youdu invaded the Central Plains, and Yujizi took refuge in Youdu, Taikang felt extremely frightened in his heart, because he knew very well that Qiye had taken refuge in Youdu, and now Yujizi had also taken refuge in Youdu, and the power that these two people could exert together made Taikang feel desperate, so he simply gave up on himself, and even did not issue an order to resist, which made a large area of land in the Great Xia Dynasty be captured by Youdu, if it were not for the old general Dingyong and the great master Yanli who resisted the attack of Yujizi, I am afraid that the Daxia Dynasty is no longer there, and now Taikang suddenly heard that someone actually defeated Qiye and Yujizi, Although it was ten years ago, this was definitely great news for Taikang, so Taikang hurriedly said: "Spread my will, immediately summon Xuan Xuan into Beijing, I want to reward him!"
