Locke City, once the royal capital of the Locke Kingdom. Now it can only be called the royal city, but the difference of one word is a world of difference. It used to be the king of the Locke Kingdom, but now it is only the Lord of Locke.

Thousands of years ago, Daqin's iron cavalry set foot on the land of Western Xinjiang, and the largest battle in human history broke out between the Eastern Continent and Western Xinjiang. The countries of the western frontier are in turmoil, and the Eastern Continent is the only one in Qin. Although the Western Xinjiang countries also resisted the Great Qin Iron Cavalry with all their strength under the organization of the Holy See, the general situation has been decided, and all the Western Xinjiang countries have returned to Qin soil.

Back then, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and minds, the killing was reduced. Great Qin put forward the proposal that "there is no country in the western frontier, and the whole world belongs to Qin", but some large countries in the western Xinjiang vigorously opposed it, and those small countries that looked at the faces of the big countries also wavered. It wasn't until several small states under the control of the Violet family took the lead in defecting to Great Qin that the Western Xinjiang states no longer insisted.

The Rock Kingdom was one of the first few small countries to take refuge in Great Qin back then, mainly because the Rock Kingdom was not big, and it was on the edge of the Tianhe River, too close to the Eastern Continent, which was basically at the fingertips of Great Qin, and Locke would destroy the country if he did not give in.

After leaving the small fishing village, Xiaoshan and the others hurried towards Rock City. Because there were no horses, they had to walk them, so they were slower.

"It's finally here! I really miss the days when there were horses, although it was a little bumpy, but it was really fast!"

Outside the west gate of Rock City, the people of "Crane Song" stood on the side of the road, and one of them was looking at the gate of Rock City and sighing. They did not attract the attention of passers-by, because there were too many small adventure groups like the "Crane Song" in western Xinjiang.

"After entering the city, I must take a good bath, I haven't taken a bath for a few days, and my body stinks to death!"

"No, Qi girl, didn't you wash in the river once two days ago? You know, you look black because you are black, not because you are dirty. ”

"You're black, your whole family is black!" Qi Le'er yelled at Zhao Lao Liu angrily, and then she seemed to think of something again, glared at Zhao Lao Liu and said, "How do you know that I took a bath two days ago?

Zhao Lao Liu was stunned by Qi Le'er's question, and seeing that Qi Le'er's face was not good, he seemed to be about to go crazy, he had an idea, pointed at Sun Xiaojiu and said, "I listened to Xiao Jiu." You know, Sun Xiaojiu is interesting to you, so he cares more about you. ”

"Sun Xiaojiu!"

Before Qi Le'er made a move, Sun Xiaojiu had already run towards the city in a puff of smoke, and a sentence came from afar: "Zhao Laoliu, you bastard, you can't die well!"

However, Sun Xiaojiu did not enter the city directly, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

"Sister Su, the matter of the black-blooded Xuan Python has really spread to Rock City, and now it is very strict to enter the city. ”

Su Lianqing nodded and said, "This is a good thing, although the four black-blooded pythons have been killed by us." However, according to Chiju's speculation, there are more than four mutants in this area. That 'Phantom' group is most likely a mutant organization, and Locke City is right to be under martial law. ”

"Regarding the fact that we killed those four black-blooded pythons, don't make a public announcement after entering the city, so as not to be targeted by the 'phantom' people to find us trouble. We're only going to rest for one day in Rock City, and we'll continue on our way tomorrow when we buy the horses. Qiu Xiaotian added.

Everyone nodded, and then followed Su Lianqing towards the city gate.

After some investigation, Xiaoshan and they were released. To be honest, Xiaoshan didn't think that those checks had much effect, and it was impossible for ordinary soldiers to recognize who was a mutant and who was not. However, the effect of "fighting grass and startling snakes" is still there, and Rock City is so strictly investigated, if there are really mutants in the city, it is estimated that they will be afraid.

"Sixth and Little Nine, after you find a place to stay, you will first go to the city to investigate and see if anyone has told us about our small fishing village. ”

"Brother Qiu, didn't you say that we only stayed here for one day, so we need to be so careful?"

Seeing that Qiu Xiaotian arranged for Zhao Laoliu and Sun Xiaojiu to go to the city to inquire about the news, Xiaoshan was a little puzzled, and he felt that Qiu Xiaotian was a little too cautious.

Qiu Xiaotian looked at Xiaoshan and smiled: "Qianzhong, you haven't been to Western Xinjiang, and it seems that you don't know anything about the situation in Western Xinjiang. The western frontier is not as good as the eastern continent, although the western frontier is also nominally the land of the Great Qin, but the princes of the western Xinjiang are still in charge of their own affairs, in addition to paying tribute to the royal family of the Great Qin every year, the princes of today are actually no different from the king. ”

Therefore, compared with the Eastern Continent, the Western Xinjiang is much more chaotic. Not only is there an open and secret struggle between the princes, but the Western Xinjiang is also the entrenchment of many forces, and on the surface the Holy See is the spiritual leader of the people in Western Xinjiang, and secretly there are many anti-Holy See organizations. In addition, most of the adventure groups are rooted in the western Xinjiang, and there are often frictions, and it is common for people to be killed in the streets. Therefore, if we are not careful, once we are targeted, no one will care about us. ”

"Doesn't anyone care about killing people in the street?" Xiaoshan said in surprise.

"Let me tell you this! Many of the adventure groups in the Western Frontier are inextricably linked to the royal family. Just like the head of 'Qin Feng' is the second prince of our Great Qin, the head and deputy head of many adventure groups are also princes and princesses. Even, some princes and princesses simply hang the title of honorary deputy head in the adventure group, so that the adventure group is related to the royal family. ”

"With the support of the royal family, many things will become much easier, and the royal family can also get a lot of benefits from the adventure party every year. As the saying goes, peers are enemies. Especially between the various adventure groups, they are not only enemies, but can even be said to be enemies. ”

"If two different factions of adventure groups fight on the territory of one of the kings, what do you think the king will do?"

"Why don't you have to stop it?" said Xiaoshan with a frown.

"Some princes do, but most of them will turn a blind eye, and as long as they don't have much impact on the territory under their jurisdiction, basically no one cares. ”

"Take this Rock City as an example, if we are here to fight with the people of 'Qin Feng', King Rock will not come forward even if he knows. Moreover, if we are killed by 'Qin Feng''s people, King Rock will even help 'Qin Feng' deal with the aftermath, do you believe it or not?"

"This..."

Xiaoshan really doesn't know what to say, although the countries of Western Xinjiang are "dead in name", but they are also the territory of Great Qin, and the gap between the Eastern Continent and the Western Xinjiang is really big.

"You'll know later, let's go, let's find a place to stay first. ”

Rock City is really not big, Xiao Shan followed Su Lianqing and them around the city roughly, he felt that this Rock City was not as big as Fengyun City.

Although it is only separated by a river, the architectural style of Rock City is obviously different from that of the Eastern Continent. Rock City is a typical Western Xinjiang architectural style, all the buildings are relatively small and exquisite, and they are mainly white, which is in sharp contrast to the majestic architectural style of the Eastern Continent.

Su Lianqing is looking for a good hotel in the west of the city, the owner of the hotel is a Donglu person, seeing that Xiaoshan is all Donglu people, it seems very enthusiastic.

"Brother Qianzhong, do you want to come with us to see the 'customs' of Western Xinjiang in a while?"

As soon as Xiaoshan put down his things, Zhao Laoliu and Sun Xiaojiu came to him.

Although I don't know what Zhao Laoliu's "customs" are talking about, just look at his obscene expression and know that it is not a good thing.

"Brother Zhao, didn't we go around the city, we should have seen the customs and customs here, right? Besides, didn't Brother Qiu let you go out to find out the news, why do you still have the heart to experience the 'customs' of Western Xinjiang?"

Zhao Lao Liu walked into Xiao Shan's room, stopped Xiao Shan's shoulder and said, "Little brother, do you know where in Rock City is the most well-informed?"

"It should be a tavern!"

Xiao Shan thought of the "Adventurer's Paradise" in Fengyun City, and he remembered that "Qin Feng" was because he took a fancy to the intelligence and connections in the "Adventurer's Paradise" so he did not hesitate to put pressure on Wei Qingyi and his wife, wanting to take the "Adventurer's Paradise" for himself.

Zhao Lao Liu smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said, "Rock City is not as pure as Fengyun City, there is no pure tavern like 'Adventurer's Paradise' here. In Western Xinjiang, there is no separation between fine wine and beautiful people. ”

Knowing what Zhao Lao Liu meant, Xiao Shan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Zhao, I won't go! After all, I don't have much experience." ”

"Just because I know you have no experience, I let you go with us, and one day you will become a real man. This kind of thing, sooner rather than later. Listen to me and come with us. ”

Seeing that Zhao Lao Liu misunderstood what he meant, Xiaoshan hurriedly explained: "Brother Zhao, you misunderstood. I mean, I don't have much experience in inquiring about information, and I'm afraid of bad things when I go with you, not the one you said..."

"Which one didn't I say?" Zhao Lao Liu looked at Xiao Shandao with a malicious expression.

"It's just... That..."

"Don't do this and that! I can tell you, although this Rock City is not big, the beauty here is very different from other places. ”

"What's different?"

Seeing that Xiaoshan's curiosity was successfully aroused, Zhao Laoliu smiled proudly and said, "You'll know if you go." ”

In this way, Xiaoshan was pulled out of the door of the hotel by Zhao Laoliu and Sun Xiaojiu.

In fact, Zhao Lao Liu is right, the beauties in Rock City are indeed a little different from those in other places, mainly because there are many Donglu people living in Rock City, and there are a lot of mixed race people in Rock City due to long-term intermarriage.

Although the people of the Eastern Continent and the Western Xinjiang are separated by only one heavenly river, they are not the same race. Although due to the influence of human beings' own Yuan Force, the hair and eyes of the Donglu people are also colorful, but the appearance is still a little different from the people of the Western Xinjiang.

The people of Western Xinjiang, both men and women, are generally taller than people in the Eastern Continent, but there has always been a saying in the Eastern Continent that although the people of Western Xinjiang are taller, they have a simpler mind.

This statement is also well-founded, if nothing else, let's just say that the cultivation of Yuan Li, since the history of mankind, the top masters from the Eastern Continent have indeed produced a lot more than the Western Frontier.

At that time, Great Qin was able to conquer Western Xinjiang, not only because Great Qin's national strength was strong, but also because the founding five saints of that year were five martial artists with high cultivation, and Western Xinjiang had no opponents who could match it at that time.
