Thirteen states in the Pangu World.
Binzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and the three states are the territory of the Taima dynasty, with a population close to 10 billion.
Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, Leping County, Xihe County and Yanmen County are six counties in the combined state.
And there are seven cities in Xihe County, and Dingcheng is one of them.
In Dingcheng, there is an artificial moat outside the city wall, named Longshan River, whose source is extradited from the famous Shuibei River.
Build a natural moat.
Dingcheng is divided into four gates, east, south, west, and north. Each gate is guarded by thirty-six inner-qi martial artists and three real-qi masters.
The city wall is as high as eighteen feet, majestic and majestic, revealing the vicissitudes of the years, it is difficult for ordinary True Qi masters to enter it.
Above the city wall, there are warriors with inner aura to patrol back and forth. A group of soldiers have sharp eyes and stiff bodies, and even the birds flying over their heads will carefully observe them. They are not rigidly standing guards to get their salaries.
"Yanglin, when you enter Dingcheng, you must be careful not to arbitrarily release your perceptual probing, otherwise people will think that it is a deliberate provocation, cause trouble for no reason, and cause unnecessary trouble."
Under the azure blue sky, on the road less than five kilometers away from Dingcheng, a group of ten people are riding a horse in Xihe County, galloping on the granite-paved road!
The Lie Horse in Xihe County is a unique breed in Xihe County. The ten people on the horse are a group of people from Linjiazhuang such as Yuyanglin, Lin Jianqin, and Lin Jianzhu.
"Uncle Jianqin, don't worry, I know."
Although Yuyanglin rode a horse for the first time, he was not a bit jerky, but rather excited, but after half an hour of galloping, he lost interest.
The horse's speed is only 20 to 30 meters per breath, which is more than ten times slower than his current full speed.
Yuyanglin secretly shook his head. This is also called Lie Ma. It is too weak, slow, and poor in physical fitness. It can be slapped to death with one slap.
"Haha, Yang Lin! Do you think this mount is not satisfied?"
Lin Jianqin swept away the previous decadence. After stepping into the real aura, his complexion was bright, his eyes were full of energy, and he could see that Yuyanglin was extremely disappointed with the horse at a glance.
"This is just the most ordinary horse. If it is a thunder dragon horse, that one can run more than 100 meters without breathing. It is comfortable and not bumpy. Ordinary people sitting on it don’t have to worry about being thrown out, and they don’t have to worry about being strong. The air is squeezed, because the Thunder Dragon Horse is a monster, or a Tier 3 monster, and even knows how to ingest the essence of heaven and earth to cultivate."
Yuyang Lin was surprised when he heard this: "That's not a fairy!"
Lin Jianqin smiled: "Fairies are not considered to be, but low-level monsters."
"It is rumored that the Thunder Dragon Horse is a hybrid of Thunder Beasts and Flood Horses. It was tamed and raised by humans and became a mount." Lin Jianqin said: "The price is extremely expensive. A Thunder Dragon horse costs at least 200,000 taels."
"So expensive!"
Yuyanglin exclaimed, a horse is only 200,000 taels, so you can buy two blood-breaking pills.
"Yanglin, didn't Jianqin say that it is a Tier 3 monster, and no warrior in the later stage of the inner aura is an opponent, and it has a life span of three hundred years, and it can even be used to'breed' cubs to make money!"
Lin Jianzhu sighed: "However, Thunder Dragon Horse loves meat and pigs. It probably eats one pig in a day. Many people can buy it and can't afford it."
While the group was laughing and talking, it was almost down to the city, but Yuyanglin was surprised at asking for some monsters.
"Who is ahead, get off the horse quickly!"
At the entrance of the west gate of Dingcheng, a guard suddenly walked out, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist, wearing a light armor, majestic and loud yelling.
"Fuck, flick..." The hooves of horses rushed.
"LüLüLü...!!!"
A group of people in Linjiazhuang dismounted one after another at the yellow line ten feet away from the city gate. Lin Jianqin took the lead and led the horse forward.
"Oh, isn't this Lin Jianqin, Lin Jiazhuang."
A sergeant in the rear, also in light armor, walked up with a smile, with the word "wu" on his right arm more than the other soldiers, and his expression was a bit teasing: "What good things are there this time!"
"Haha, I have seen Captain Zhang."
Lin Jianqin clasped his fists and smiled: "Captain Zhang is joking, and he hasn't entered the mountain just after the new year. Where's the good stuff? This time I brought the tribe to buy some daily necessities."
Lin Jianqin seemed to be very familiar with the guards at the gate of the city.
"That's the old rule. One person pays one tael." The Captain Zhang nodded, and took the twelve taels of silver slips from Lin Jianzhu.
"correct!"
"I heard that Zhang Jiazhuang was almost slaughtered by the brotherhood horse thieves. Fortunately, Lin Jiazhuang arrived in time to avoid being killed?" The sergeant whose Lin Jianqin became Captain Zhang moved his eyes slightly. Looking at Lin Jianqin in surprise.
"Where, if we have the ability, we don't have to pay a thousand tael protection fee every year."
Lin Jianqin quickly explained: "When we rushed to the Zhang family, the horse thief was already ready to leave. Seeing that there were so many people in our group, there were unnecessary disputes and we just left."
Three days ago, Lin Jianqin personally sent ten thousand taels to Zhangjiazhuang, and deliberately explained to Zhang Jiying, the patriarch of Zhangjiazhuang, and others. Everyone wiped out the matter, otherwise the trouble would continue.
The two sides have long been in collusion, at least for a short time, no one will doubt it.
Although Lin Jiazhuang is also afraid of the brotherhood horse thieves, it is better to do less than to do more.
"Let me just say it, just rely on your Lin Family Village, how can a real spirit Lin Zhen be enough to see!"
This Captain Zhang looked contemptuously and glanced at Lin Jianqin and others condescendingly: "The horse thieves of the Brotherhood are extremely fierce and difficult to deal with. Yesterday, my uncle led ten thousand sergeants and marched directly into Litou Mountain. Will be the nest."
Lin Jianqin and others were surprised.
"Okay, let's go in!" The captain waved his hands with his nostrils facing the sky, looking like a superior.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Lin Jianqin nodded quickly, and led Yuyanglin and the others into the city gate, leading the horses.
There are hundreds of villages in the east, south, west and north of Dingcheng. The farmers who come and go in Dingcheng will always be looked down upon by the'city people', looking like a rural person.
In fact, it is all self-righteous sense of superiority. Some so-called urban people may not live a more fulfilling life than the rural people in their eyes.
Coarse cloth and linen animal skin skirts are not necessarily lowly, and there may be patches in brocade clothes and rich robes.
"Uncle Jianqin, what Captain Zhang said is true?" Yuyanglin asked.
"Huh! Captain Zhang is just a squadron who is guarding the door. The captain is self-proclaimed. You should have heard that the king is better off. The kid is hard to deal with."
Lin Jianqin looked disdainful, but lowered his voice: "There are some leaders on the corps leader, centurion commander, thousands commander, one corporal commander is nothing but five subordinates. However, the uncle he said is true. Although he is not his uncle, his uncle is indeed a ten thousand chief in the army."
"Captain Ten Thousand!" Yuyanglin was startled.
"Yes, the commander is leading 10,000 sergeants! And the worst of these 10,000 sergeants is the warrior of the inner aura, and there are at least ten commanders of the true aura." Lin Jianqin continued: "And Captain Wan is a strong man in the vitality realm."
Yuyanglin exclaimed, shocked in his heart, ten thousand people in the inner qi state, what concept is that, the captain is still a strong person in the vitality state.
"Yanglin, we may all be in Dingcheng from now on. You must remember that there are several big forces in Dingcheng that you must not offend."
A sharp light flashed across Lin Jianqin's eyes: "The most important thing to pay attention to is the four giants of Dingcheng."
"Oh, the four giants?" Yuyang Lin was surprised again when he heard this.
Lin Jianqin nodded: "Yes, what should be paid special attention to is the Dingcheng army. There are a hundred thousand sergeants and ten ten thousand captains. Every ten thousand captain is a powerful person in the vitality realm. That's why it can deter the Sifang Xiaoxiao and guard the Dingcheng. order."
"Ten ten thousand captains."
Yuyang Lin's heart was shocked again, and he felt the strength of the army.
"Then, that army is so powerful, why not directly destroy the Brotherhood Horse Thief?"
Yuyanglin looked curious, ten thousand captains, killing a group of horse thieves, isn't it like eating and drinking water
"Yanglin, the brotherhood horse thief is fierce and evil in our eyes, but in Litou Mountain, it is only a notorious peripheral horse thief. For the Dingcheng army, it is a group of mobs that can be easily destroyed."
Lin Jianqin shook his head: "But in the Litou Mountains, there are a lot of horse thieves and bandits. The really powerful horse thieves don't dare to provoke them easily."
"It is rumored that the most powerful horse thief group in the Litou Mountains is the Thirteen Taibao. The 13 masters, all of them are strong in the vitality state. I heard that they are all monstrous criminals wanted by the court, and they are the real overlords in the Litou Mountains. All horse thieves must respect them. The reason why the army is reluctant to directly suppress the whole army is because it is afraid of these 13 Taibaos."
"Thirteen Taibao!"
Yuyanglin secretly remembered this name, how powerful a horse thieves group could make a hundred thousand troops jealous, Yuyanglin couldn't help clenching his fists.
Sure enough, when I walked out of the mountain village, I found that I was superficial and immature, and I was so knowledgeable that I was like a frog in the bottom of the well.
After entering the city, the group regained their horseback and walked unhurriedly on the streets of Dingcheng.
In Dingcheng City, the streets are vertical and horizontal, extending in all directions, and the ground is paved with granite slabs. There are various shops, restaurants, and inns on both sides, and there is a lot of traffic.
Riding on a sedan chair, the luxury carriage galloped without even raising a trace of dust.
Although Yuyanglin entered the city for the first time, he only felt novel.
He has never been down the mountain since he was a child, but Yuyang Lin would not look around like a hillbilly, craned his neck.
"Yanglin, in addition to the army, another thing to pay attention to is the city lord mansion. Although both the army and the city mansion belong to the Taima dynasty, the two sides are independent."
Lin Jianqin said solemnly: "These two forces are the most overbearing and powerful, the emperor is far away from the mountain, and they are the emperor of the earth!"
"However, there is also a force in Dingcheng that makes the army and the city lord's mansion very jealous. It is also a special institution under the Taima Dynasty, Taima Tea Court."
"Grandma's tea house! Tea house?" Yuyang Lin was startled.
"Haha, Yanglin, Taima Teahouse is not an ordinary teahouse."
Lin Jianzhu laughed and said: "The Taima Tea Court is directly under the Taima dynasty emperor. It represents the eyes of the emperor. It supervises the dynasty and the world, the three continents of the Taima dynasty, and every city in every county, there is a Taima tea court."
"Furthermore, the Grandma's Tea Room is open to the outside world. Martial artists can go inside to take tasks. As long as they are strong enough, they can receive high-commission tasks. If you have money, you can release tasks with high commissions. Anyway, as long as you have money."
"Of course, if the commission is too low, no one will pick up the posted tasks, and one percent of the handling fee will be wasted."
Lin Jianzhu shook his head with a sigh.
Upon hearing this, Yuyang Lin was surprised that there was such a special organization. With a slight change of thinking, he could think of the huge profits in it, which was nothing but a fortune.
However, being able to receive quests to earn commissions can also allow many warriors to have a place to use their skills and will not violate the prohibition by war.
Rich people can satisfy any desire. Although money is not something that can be bought, without money, even a blood pill cannot be bought.
"Where is another power?" Yuyanglin asked curiously.
"There is also a giant, that is, the lowest-key, the most mysterious, the richest, and the publisher of the world's top three, Wanbao Pavilion!"
Lin Jianqin smiled and said: "It is rumored that Wanbao Pavilion is spread across 13 states, three dynasties and four major gates. You can see Wanbao Pavilion in every city, but no one knows who opened Wanbao Pavilion, and no one knows whether Wanbao Pavilion is opened. How long has it been."
Lin Jianqin's expression flashed with exclamation: "There is even more rumor that the history of Wanbao Pavilion can be traced back at least hundreds of thousands of years."
"Hundreds of thousands of years ago!"
Yuyanglin was taken aback and horrified in his heart. The Grandma Dynasty did not exist for 100,000 years. This Wanbao Pavilion has existed for such a long time. It must have a great background. No wonder he is the most mysterious, lowest-key, richest, and he is only ranked third in the world. The identity of the publisher is enough to shock the world.
Lin Jianzhu and other people in Linjiazhuang were also surprised. Although they all knew Wanbao Pavilion, it was the first time they knew the history of Wanbao Pavilion. Most people were curious and awed to Wanbao Pavilion.
"Hundreds of thousands of years is just a conservative estimate." Lin Jianqin smiled: "Moreover, you can buy anything you want in Wanbao Pavilion, such as pills, exercises, weapons, martial arts, beauty, intelligence, monsters, etc., as long as You have money, there is nothing that Wanbao Pavilion does not have!"
Lin Jianqin shook his head and sighed: "The world is rich enough to be able to walk sideways anywhere.
Yuyanglin's eyes lit up, wondering if Wanbao Pavilion had any information about the demise of his family.
