In the country of demon immortals, bluestone collar, in the east of Matou City, a huge gatehouse stands tall, with three words written on it: "Jijian Forest".

Matou City used to be just a small city in Zaitianzhou, southeast of Matou Mountain. And Matou Mountain is just a lonely mountain in the wasteland, not high or not big, extremely desolate. A watchtower was built on Matou Mountain, and a low wall was built outside the city to defend against wild beasts and robbers in the wasteland, and three or four earthen ramparts, even if they were all fortifications, were only a hundred or so inhabitants at the most.

Such a small city, on the wasteland of Zaitianfu, I don't know how many remain, most of which have been turned into ruins with the passage of time.

Matou City can prosper, all thanks to the original Ma Boss.

Matou City takes the west gate as the main gate, and every time the caravan of Matou City sets off, a red silk will be tied to the big tree outside the west gate.

At this time, the shade of the big tree shrouded the small half of the horsehead city, and the fluttering silk had become a part of the big tree, deep and shallow, new and old, layered.

Over the years, the current Matou City has four city gates.

The fourth city gate, the east gate, is the "hustle and bustle of the sword forest", which connects the country of demons and fairies and the city of Mengcheng, and people go in and out, making this main street in the east-west direction extremely prosperous.

It was on such an afternoon that Gong Yiping stepped through the hustle and bustle of the Jijian Forest and came to Matou City.

What catches your eye is the red silk tree and the bustling streetscape.

"Wow......" Gong Yiping sighed like a hillbilly entering the city for the first time, watching the sudden change in front of him and the completely different scenery.

By his side, General Yu tried his best to make himself look reserved, but he still couldn't help but lose his mind slightly.

And the officials who were with them were also stammering and couldn't move for a long time.

The people who came and went were no longer strange, they bypassed this petrified group of people, and walked into the crowd very lightly but chicly, with a sense of superiority in their movements.

Gong Yiping came to the country of demons and immortals from the country of the embassy as a guard officer, and the scale of this mission was very small, except for three or five envoys, there were only a few guards, as well as him and General Yu.

The reason why they came to the country of demons and immortals as an envoy is to show that they represent the will of the country.

The selection of personnel is more about human relationships.

The reason for this staffing is simple, they are here to ask for help.

Looking for Zi Baifeng for help, in fact, the best candidate is Fu Jun.

But if the prince of the palace comes, then it is not like asking for help, but like coercion, in the face of Zi Baifeng, King Zhen thinks a lot and is very complicated.

Zi Baifeng is not the original Zi Baifeng for a long time, and the relationship between them and Zi Baifeng has long been reversed.

Therefore, in the end, this result fell on General Yu, who was a little more distant.

And Gong Yiping is a backup means, his identity is more complicated, he is a good person from the country, but at the same time he is also the guard of Zi Baifeng's mansion, strictly speaking, he is Zi Baifeng's subordinate.

This kind of delicate selection of people really made the country painstaking, because they could only succeed and not fail when they came this time.

In order not to make any trouble, General Yu and the others took a cloud boat directly from Xijing to Mengcheng, and then almost did not stop, and came directly to the country of demons and immortals.

They really didn't have time to delay.

When they arrived at Matou City, they went straight to the county government of Matou City.

An official received them, and then told them the unfortunate news: "The lord of the country has left the country of demons, and no one knows where he went, and it is impossible to say when he will return." ”

"What about the Thousand Mountains?" General Yu hurriedly asked.

"I also went together, now the person in charge of the family is Lord Yan Xiaolei, why don't you wait a while, I will send someone to deliver a message to Lord Yan Xiaolei?" the official said.

"That's all there is to it......" General Yu was extremely disappointed in his heart, and even couldn't help but wonder, did Zi Baifeng know that they were coming, so he hid?

If Zi Baifeng was very busy and would not have time to see them until a few days, they would not be able to say anything, so they could only wait.

But this feeling is not very good.

When faced with various problems, people are always prone to gains and losses, and when they suffer from gains and losses, they are easy to think too much. Even the officials' promises, they feel like they are prevaricating.

"Where is Lord Yan Xiaolei? Why don't we go find them?" asked an accompanying official. He was afraid that he was also worried that this was just a prevarication by officials, so he waited for it, and he didn't know when it would be.

"Lord Yan is in Shanshui City, which is far away from here, if you want to go, you need to take a cloud ship. The official said, "You can go and take the ferry, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and in the afternoon there should be another hour before the departure." ”

"You guys here, and the cloud ship?" the mission official's eyes widened when he heard the county officials say this.

Even in Xijing, it is rare to see cloud ships, and cloud boats are rare.

At the beginning, in order to come to participate in the Immortal Conference, they spent a lot of money to rent a dilapidated cloud ship, which made them feel painful.

"Yes, there's a cloud ship. The official smiled faintly, he couldn't see the joy and anger, he had been an official of the country before, and he knew what kind of life the country lived, but now when he looked back, he didn't even have a cloud ship, how pitiful and ridiculous that kind of day was.

"In such a small city, there are cloud ships, this country of demons and immortals, it really lives up to its name. The envoy official sighed, "How many people can there be in such a small city?

Even if they were well-trained and tested, the officials of the county government almost burst out laughing.

"The hustle and bustle of the sword forest" does not allow cloud ships and cloud boats to pass guò, so there are not many cloud ships and cloud boats in Matou City, most of the cloud ships and cloud boats will stay at the airport outside the city, and there are at least dozens of cloud ships that rise and fall every day, which is really not a big deal.

Yunjian is indeed going to lose money, because the shipping price is very low, and the distance between several cities is too far, and if you want to connect several cities, you must reduce the shipping price.

Anyway, the country of cloud ships and fairies can be made by themselves, and there are a lot of jade, and the cost is evenly shared, and it is also pitiful, so it would be good to do it as a public welfare undertaking.

"Where are you from? Isn't it Xijing? I remember that although Xijing has nothing to do with our Demon Immortal Country, it always has a connection with Mengcheng, right?

In the words, there were some doubts.

If you come from Mengcheng, you shouldn't be such a hillbilly and make a fuss about everything.

If Mengcheng still has a subordinate relationship with the country of the demon fairy, the country of the demon fairy is a completely different system, even if these people are in the country of the country of the emperor and the country of the high power, when they come to the country of the demon fairy, they really have no privileges.

Hearing the subtext of the official's words, General Yu's lips trembled, and said, "In a hurry, I didn't have time to shop." ”

"Also, our Demon Immortal Country and Mengcheng have only increased in recent months. The official used to be an official of Shanshui City, and recalled, "That is, three months ago, our Shanshui City was able to build its own Yunzhou Cloud Ship, but at this time, the production capacity has been expanded three times, and I have also booked a family Yunzhou, and it will be able to pick up the goods in three or five days." ”

The faces of several officials of the mission were not very good-looking, and when they came, they actually thought that there would be anything good about the bitter cold land in the north? It must be a place where the mountains and rivers are exhausted and extremely desolate, and maybe they will have to suffer a lot this time.

But who would have thought that when they came, they would be treated as hillbillies.

This difference comes entirely from the speed of development.

For General Yu, the development of a city should be recorded in ten years or even a hundred years.

But for these cities under Zibaifeng's command, development is changing with each passing day.

Although Mengcheng is already connected to Xijing by water, it is a long distance after all. In the past, exchanges between the two sides were measured in years, but now they are more frequent and in months.

As he spoke, the official suddenly said, "Lord Yan has already received the news, and he ordered me to take you to take you for a walk in Matou City first, and settle down temporarily, and Lord Yan will come over to meet you after he is busy with the work at hand." ”

"What?" Hearing this official say this, even General Yu was shocked.

They talked nonsense here for a moment, and wondered whether to leave early, so that the official could write and deliver the letter quickly, otherwise they would have to wait another three or five days.

The official smiled and said: "Don't look at me like this, I have also cultivated for some days, the regulations of our Demon Immortal Country, the chief officials of all places must cultivate the method of the Post Road Sect 'such as Beacon Fire Ascending to the Heights', after cultivating this method, a simple message, as soon as the heart moves, it can be transmitted to the disciples of the Post Road Sect who are responsible for delivering the news, and it can be delivered after a few transfers, which is very fast." ”

Listening to the official's seemingly modest but actually ostentatious words, several people complained in their hearts at the same time: "Hurry up your sister!"

But if you don't accept it, it's too fast.

"Come, ladies and gentlemen, let's go to Matou City first. The official led the way, and did not bring an escort, but led everyone out all the way, and greeted many people with a smile on the way, and was very easy-going.

"Our Matou City undertakes the responsibility of connecting the country of demons and fairies and Mengcheng, so the most in Matou City are merchants, in our Matou City, there are all kinds of merchants, it can be said that although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs. However, the most famous place in Matou City recently is 'Sword Market'. ”

"Sword City, what is that?" Hearing that Yan Xiaolei was coming, General Yu let go of half of his heart and asked.

The official just wanted to explain, but when he looked back, he smiled.

Gong Yiping stood in front of a stall.

said that it was a stall, but in fact, it was just a piece of cloth in front of it, and there was no goods on it, only four words were written: "Sell at a price." ”

Gong Yiping was very puzzled, and asked the young man sitting behind the cloth: "Wait for the price to sell, boss, what are you selling?"

The young man glanced up at him and gestured to himself, "Sell me." ”

Gong Yiping suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
