The weakest city defense soldiers are also at the Sensuan Realm. After completing the foundation building and generating mana, they have at least tens of thousands of kilograms of power.
The Kingdom of Jin Dynasty was rich and the equipment of the city defense army was also excellent.
All camping tents, in Lao Tie’s words, are good products made of modular materials.
In just a quarter of an hour, dozens of tents with camouflage colors and engraved with hidden runes were set up in the forest. A group of soldiers cut down some small trees, built fences around it, and set up various early warning restrictions, and the camp was completed.
After dispatching light and dark sentries, Wu Tie gave some instructions, put on the clothes of ordinary people, and returned to Flower Insect City.
There are many teahouses and taverns near the east entrance of Hua Chong City. Wu Tie chose a teahouse and sat in the lobby on the first floor near the street, holding a teacup, drinking tea, and listening to the laughter and conversations of many tea drinkers in the lobby.
There were people coming and going on the street outside, and it was very lively.
There is also an old man and a young girl in the teahouse. The old man plays the piano and the girl sings a cappella. From time to time, tea guests will order one of their songs and reward them with some uniquely shaped copper coins.
The world of business and the breath of life.
Wu Tie drank a few sips of hot tea, and then exhaled heavily. Suddenly, he felt that the previous fighting and disputes in the underground world were like a nightmare.
This is the life that a person should live.
In the underground world, even for a big family like the Wu family, they are just 'surviving' rather than 'living'.
Wu Tie played with the exquisite fine porcelain tea cup, widened his eyes, and looked curiously at the piano in the old man's hand. If you read it correctly, this is 'erhu', right
That’s right, it’s the Erhu.
The vast knowledge base passed down to Wu Tie by Lao Tie contains detailed information about this ancient musical instrument.
The old man's piano skills were very good, and the sound was melodious, with a hint of sadness that penetrated the heart. The girl's voice was also very sweet. Although her appearance could only be regarded as relatively delicate, that voice really made Wu Tie feel a kind of beauty. '.
A waiter from a teahouse passed by the table carrying a large tray. Wu Tie stopped the waiter and took a dozen small steamer baskets of snacks from the tray.
Shaomai, steamed rice rolls, steamed dumplings, pork belly, spareribs, beef balls... The ingredients are high quality and the workmanship is attentive. These dim sums all taste great.
Wu Tie had a huge appetite, and these snacks were so delicious, so he simply kept calling the waiter to bring snacks, one cage on the left and one on the right. In just half an hour, he finished hundreds of cages of various snacks.
The guests in the teahouse couldn't help but were speechless as they watched Wu Tie eating.
But soon, someone recognized Wu Tie's identity.
After all, he has a cultivation level in the Mingchi realm, and he has joined the Shenwu Army, one of the major legions of the Great Jin Kingdom. He is also from a veteran military family, and he is considered a serious local snake. He met Huo Xiong in Hua Chong City. There are quite a few people there.
Soon, someone got together and brought a pot of the best fragrant tea in the teahouse to Wu Tie's table.
Wu Tie squeezed out a smile on his gloomy face and cupped his hands towards the table of guests.
To reciprocate the favor, Wu Tie called the old man, threw a handful of copper coins into the small basket hanging on the old man's waist, and then ordered several pieces of music.
The old man smiled and bowed to Wu Tie, and then played the erhu. The girl stood next to Wu Tie, and her sweet voice sounded, and the beautiful tunes that Wu Tie didn't really understand spread throughout the whole place. Tea house, spread out to the street outside.
Wu Tie's attention was focused on the street outside.
This is the east city gate, and the other three city gates are watched by the shrewd spies sent by Li Dayou.
Huachong City is located among the high mountains, and the nearest city is also three thousand miles away. That city is just east of Hua Chong City, so if someone wants to come to Hua Chong City in the past few days, they are most likely to enter through the east city gate.
Therefore, Wu Tie guarded the east gate as if he was waiting for something to happen.
The first day was uneventful.
The next day, Wu Tie drank tea for another day.
On the third day, Wu Tie ran to the restaurant next to the teahouse and drank several jars of good wine.
On the fourth day, Wu Tie met a few "childhood friends". They all set up a table in the restaurant and laughed and laughed all day long. A certain 'childhood friend' even unceremoniously helped Wu Tie to invite some pretty girls to accompany him, making him look rosy and pink all over.
At noon on the fifth day, when Wu Tie was sitting in the lobby of the teahouse, seriously handling a whole roast goose, a rather large team came to the east gate.
Thousands of heavy camel beasts, shaped like mammoths, are hairless but covered in black plate armor. They are strong and powerful. Behind each heavy-duty camel beast was pulling a large trailer about ten feet long, which was filled with all kinds of weird equipment.
There were a total of five thousand armed guards and more than ten thousand powerful craftsmen and handymen. The guards all rode exotic mounts that looked like horses and were covered with scales. The craftsmen and handymen were sitting on large trailers, and there was a lot of noise. , smoke and dust noisy sky.
Wu Tie's eyes twitched.
There are five thousand guards, and they are all armed with stern auras, and they are all at the level of Chonglou Realm.
With just this guard army, a single charge could annihilate the three thousand city defense troops of Hua Chong City, and also wipe out the little guard power of the Shenwu Army's Yamen and the City Lord's Mansion.
As for the private military guards of several big families in Hua Chong City...
Wu Tie shook his head. He was not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of those guys either.
This team is enough to threaten the security of Flower Insect City.
Wu Tie stood up, slapped a few silver coins on the square table, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked towards the east gate with a gloomy face.
More than a dozen city defense troops lined up in front of the team. The squad leader of the city defense army was trembling and asked the leader of the team to take out their pass token.
In the team, the first heavy-duty trailer had no opponent's equipment, but a huge carriage shaped like a small building.
A white-haired old man in Chinese clothes slowly walked out of the carriage, stood on the carriage, and handed a communication token and an official document to the guard beside him. The guard took the token and the official document and jumped. He got off his mount and strode up to the captain of the city defense army.
This guard is definitely specialized in physical cultivation, and his cultivation level is extremely high. He must have reached the high level of Life Pond Realm.
Therefore, he was extremely strong, three meters tall, and standing there looked like a blind bear standing upright.
The captain of the city defense army was much shorter and thinner than him. Standing in front of the guard, Wu Tie could clearly see that the legs of the captain of the city defense army were trembling desperately.
The guard laughed "hehe" and slapped the token and official document heavily on the squad leader's chest.
"See clearly, we are from the Hua Family in Pinghu City. This is the pass token and mining prospecting document issued by Jiushan City... We came to your remote place to explore for precious mineral veins."
The strength of the guard was so great that the captain of the city defense army staggered back more than ten steps after being slapped by him, and almost fell to the ground.
"You!" The captain of the city defense army was furious and wanted to go up and argue with the guard, but at the peak of the Sensory Realm, he really didn't have the courage to step forward when faced with the guard at the Life Pond Realm.
Gritting his teeth, the captain of the city defense army shook the token and official documents in his hand towards the plaque with the three characters "Flower and Insect City" engraved on it at the city gate.
A ray of light shone down from the plaque, and it happened to shine on the token and official documents.
There was a roar, and a ball of light erupted from the palm-sized pass token, with a seal emerging from inside. This proves that this pass token was indeed issued by the official city lord of the Great Jin Kingdom.
And a large ray of light erupted from the official document, with clear large handwriting inside.
According to the writings in the light curtain, this huge team of Pinghu City Hua Clan had indeed obtained permission from the city lord of the city to come all the way to Hua Chong City in the mountains to survey for mineral veins in the nearby mountains. of.
The territory of the Kingdom of Jin Dynasty is vast, with a radius of countless trillions of miles.
Therefore, the Great Jin Divine Kingdom divided its territory into five major continents: southeast, northwest, and central. Each continent was divided into several kingdoms. The elite descendants of the Sima clan of the feudal royal family served as the kings of the feudal kingdom, which was to divide the kings of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom. system'.
For example, Sima Jun from the Demon-Suppressing Palace and Sima Zuo from the Demon-Suppressing Palace have their own feudal kingdoms in the Jin Kingdom. They are both the 'kings' of the Jin Kingdom.
Under the feudal state, it was divided into several states, each state was divided into several counties, and each county was divided into several large and small cities.
Huachong City is a city under the jurisdiction of Pinghu County, Jiushan Prefecture, Heng Kingdom, Western Continent.
Pinghu City is the county seat of Pinghu County.
The Hua family is also one of the top ten wealthy families in Pinghu County in terms of overall strength.
This official document clearly shows that the state army in Jiushan Prefecture is in short supply. The Huajia of Pinghu County invented a new forging technique that can quickly provide a large amount of high-quality ordnance.
It's just that this new forging technique called 'whirlpool forging' requires some special rare ores.
Therefore, the Jiushan Prefecture issued a charter document, allowing the Hua family to send a certain number of survey teams to survey for mineral veins in the high mountains and rich mineral deposits in Pinghu County.
Because this matter is of great significance to the armament of Jiushan Prefecture, the cities in Pinghu County are ordered to work closely together to provide the survey team with the necessary manpower, material resources, and logistical equipment.
With a 'ding' sound, the light emitted from the plaque on the city gate converged.
The token and official document fell back into the hands of the city defense army captain.
The guard took a few steps closer, snatched the token and official document back into his hand, and said with a grin: "Did you see clearly? Do you know our origins? Quickly tell your city lord's mansion to clean up enough courtyards so that Brothers, take a good rest."
The guard was extremely rough. He grabbed the shoulder of the captain of the city defense army and forced him to turn towards the city gate. Then he kicked him on the butt, sending him flying into the city from outside the city gate. The door fell awkwardly on the street inside the city gate.
"Remember, no matter what means you use... In short, at night, we must see a clean house enough for our brothers to stay... Also, these camels, trailers, and mounts must be properly arranged and supplied with food and grass. , must not be lacking.”
"Anyway, brothers, it's been a hard work along the way. You, Hua Chong City, have to take good care of you."
"See clearly, this is an official document issued by Jiushan Prefecture. If you don't cooperate, hey... we will chop off your heads, and that will be your misfortune."
The captain of the city defense army fell to the ground with blood on his face. He did not dare to say a word. He got up in embarrassment and staggered towards the direction of the city lord's palace.
Wu Tie stood inside the city gate, looking coldly at the arrogant guard and the white-haired old man standing on the first trailer with a smile on his face, as if he was indifferent to everything.
This team from the Hua Family in Pinghu City should not be the people Wu Tie is waiting for, right
Although these guys do look dangerous.
However, this kind of drama of a wealthy family bullying a small town in a remote village is not worthy of the Jin Kingdom's Forbidden Demon Palace specially delivering secret documents to surrounding cities to remind everyone to pay attention to the destruction of those 'dangerous elements'.
So, this team... shouldn't be in any danger
But they also came by chance.
In the past few days, Wu Tie was waiting near the city gate and did not see anyone from outside Huachong City entering the city.
The only outsiders are this large 'surveying' team!
Or are there dangerous elements hiding in this team
Wu Tie's heart skipped a beat.
This was a big trouble. Together, he and Li Dayou couldn't find enough manpower to monitor this team.
In other words, even if the entire Hua Chong City defense army is dispatched, there are not enough manpower to monitor people.
Sima Quan, the lord of Huachong City, was panting, riding in disheveled clothes with about a hundred followers and guards. From a long distance away, Sima Quan had already shouted loudly: "Where is the distinguished guest of the Hua family? We are like horses and dogs in lawsuits. Please forgive me for missing your welcome."
"Don't worry, don't worry, we will make room for your team immediately. A house for more than 10,000 people is enough, enough!"
Sima Quan deliberately amplified his voice and passed on his order: "Come here, on this street, from the city gate to the city lord's palace, all the houses will be vacated by me, so that the people inside can go there on their own. Find a place to deal with it, and first make arrangements for the distinguished guests of the Hua family!"
The Hua family guard standing at the door nodded with satisfaction.
The white-haired old man standing on the carriage smiled reservedly, and then he spoke slowly: "City Lord Sima, are you a descendant of the royal family?"
Sima Quan rode to the city gate, jumped off the horse, and walked towards the white-haired old man with a smile on his face.
"What's your surname, Sir? Sima Quan, the official, is of royal blood, and is ranked in the Huang Juan... It's really a blessing for me, the Flower and Insect City, to have your presence here!"
Wu Tie's face twitched violently.
Ranked in the yellow roll
The Sima clan of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, the true royal family will be listed in the purple and jade book as soon as they are born; those with a slightly more distant bloodline, the heirs of the feudal lord's family, will be reported to the royal family and can also be listed in the ancestral temple. Jade Book and Golden Book.
If the bloodline is further away, in short, according to an extremely complicated bloodline identification method of the Sima family, as long as the surname is 'Sima', it can be listed in the gold book, silver book, bronze book, or iron book.
Being able to leave your name on the four books of gold, silver, copper and iron means that the Sima family recognizes you as one of their own.
As for the yellow scroll, it is a roster made of yellow cloth. The meaning of being listed on it is that even if your surname is Sima, the Sima royal family will turn a blind eye to you. As long as your surname is Sima and your family has some assets, you can send some money to the Sima clan's clan house and your name can be registered on the yellow roll.
Being ranked in the yellow rolls is a joke to the real wealthy nobles.
But using the identity of 'descendant of the royal family' to scare ordinary people and low-level officials is quite useful.
"Dog!" Wu Tie curled his lips. No wonder this guy had such a despicable name.
There are countless members of the Sima clan, and those beautiful words are reserved for their core clansmen to use as names. The Sima clan members on these yellow scrolls don't dare to use those beautiful words because of their courage.
From the compartment of the first cart, a lazy voice came out: "City Lord Dog, Young Master, hurry up and let your City Lord's Mansion out. Master, my back hurts from the bumpy journey... Do you have a beautiful daughter? Dedicate it to me." I, young master, will treat you badly by being a maid for a few days."
Wu Tie shook his head speechlessly, but Sima Quan had already laughed: "It should, it should..."
