At the beginning of the night, the evening trumpets sounded.
The east gate of Zhongzhou City was already closed, but at this moment, the suspension bridge was suddenly lowered. A few knights guarded an ordinary beast cart, passed through the hazy moonlight and arrived at the port. A black medium-sized ship had been waiting for a long time. up.
Dusk is heavy.
Sizhou Lake is a vast expanse.
Kamikaze Hou and Yun Tianhe looked at the lake, feeling a little sad in their hearts.
Yun Tianhe said with a wry smile: "Do you have to leave at this time?"
Chu Tian was wearing a traveler's cloak, a big gourd and a long sword on his back, and a bell hanging from his waist. Eighteen silent god-blood corpses stood beside him, completely unobtrusive at first glance, "Who made me become Zhongzhou is a heartthrob, will I still leave if I announce the date of departure? In order to prevent countless girls in Zhongzhou from suffering from the anal and intestinal separation, it is better for me to leave as soon as possible, you must understand me."
Kamikaze laughed: "You just don't know how to be modest!"
"Actually, I'm already very humble." Chu Tian waved his hand: "Stop talking, I'll start now, you all take care!"
"Take care of yourself!"
"Wangcheng is no better than Zhongzhou. There are 12 Dog Rong tribes threatening outside, and the inside is even more complicated. Proceed with caution and don't be impulsive."
"I know, I know!"
Kamikaze is just talking casually.
Can this kid listen to him, is he still Chutian
When the boat started, many lights came from the direction of Zhongzhou City, and hundreds of people rushed here.
Chu Tian wondered: "Huh? I thought the whereabouts were already secret enough, but someone could still find out!"
"Idol!"
"We're here to see you off!"
"You must work hard when you arrive in Wangcheng!"
"Bring the miracle to the royal city, and to the whole continent!"
Hundreds of teenagers were rushing to the shore with the flashlights from the Miracle Chamber of Commerce. Chu Tian's wearer had already started, so he could only stand on the shore and shout loudly, using the flashlight beams to form a big "sky" character!
"Goodbye!" Chu Tian waved vigorously at them, "I'll be waiting for you at the Miracle Chamber of Commerce!"
"We will definitely join the Miracle Chamber of Commerce."
"Most definitely!"
Lin Fan, Lin Xuan and hundreds of members of the Tianmeng all felt tears welling up in their eyes.
Chutian came to Zhongzhou City in just a few months, and he will go to Wangcheng again. His pace of advancement is so fast that it is difficult for these pursuers to catch up.
However, they are more firm in their original beliefs.
If you can be easily chased, what qualifications do you have to be an idol and a target
These young people secretly swear in their hearts that they must join the Miracle Chamber of Commerce. Even if they cannot catch up with Chu Tian, they must at least contribute to this miraculous dynasty and leave traces of their presence in this miraculous era!
The ship gradually disappeared from view.
Zhongzhou City was brightly lit, shining in the dark.
In the cabin, Nangong Yun sat at the table in a daze, opened a can and didn't eat, but frowned slightly, worrying about something.
"Nangong will also have sad times."
Chutian walked in wearing Shen Bingyu, and Chutian knew why Nangong Yun was worried. Although Nangong Yun didn't want Chutian to be so hated, she was born in the Nangong family, and her identity was quite sensitive. Especially after Chutian abolished Nangong Zhi, most of the Nangong family now regarded her as a traitor.
"have a drink?"
"good!"
Chu Tian poured a glass of self-brewed honey wine: "How much do you know about the Nangong family and Wangcheng?"
"I don't remember clearly, my memory is already very fuzzy." Nangong Yun drank the wine in one gulp: "I left Wangcheng with my father when I was nine years old, and now I am nineteen years old. I have been in a hurry for ten years. I don't know what Wangcheng looks like. I just remember that after the suzerain died in the battle on the Quanrong Grassland, our family didn't have a good day."
The suzerain here is not the master of the sect, but the highest heir of a surname.
The Nangong family has produced two Marquises, one is the current Marquis Li Huohou of Luzhou County, and the other is Marquis Lieyan. Both of them are the biological sons of Lord Yanyang, and they are also the two most promising sons. Lie Yanhou is the eldest son, and Li Huohou is the sixth son.
The Nangong family is a very old family.
Its history is far longer than that of the Dongfang family and the Shangguan family.
Before the Great Xia Kingdom period, the Nangong Family already existed. After the Great Xia Kingdom was destroyed, the Dongfang Family raised their banners to revolt, and the Nangong Family became the strongest support for the Dongfang Family.
until today.
The Nangong family still has the strongest army in Nanxia.
Wu Anjun is the commander in chief of the military. In most cases, he only testifies to the rear. The Nangong family is really in charge of fighting. The Lieyan Army in the hands of Lie Yanhou back then was one of the most powerful troops in the South Xia Kingdom, and it gained a great reputation in the Quanrong Grassland.
Nangong Yun is a side branch of Lie Yan Hou.
Lieyanhou and Lieyanjun are famous in Nanxia. Lieyanhou himself is also strong and steady. He is the most hopeful person to inherit the title of monarch in the future. Unexpectedly, in a fierce battle ten years ago, the entire Lieyan Army was wiped out, and Lieyan died waiting for the battle.
The Nangong family was originally ranked second among the three major families. It was precisely because of this setback that they were now overtaken by the Shangguan family. One of Nangong's two marquises was lost, and only Li Huohou was left to support himself. The most hopeful successor to the family power after Yanyang Lord became Li Huohou.
Of course Lie Yanhou was not reconciled.
I wanted to elect the eldest son of Lieyanhou to succeed Lieyanhou's Marquis. The eldest son of Lieyanhou was Nangong Yi's cousin, so Nangongyi naturally wanted to surround him. In the end, I don't know whether it was Li Huohou's suppression, or Lie Yan Hou's eldest son who was not successful, and ultimately failed.
From the time of the fire, the wings of Lie Yanhou began to be cut.
The Lieyanhou lineage was marginalized, or distributed to various places, or transferred into the army.
Nangong Yi, who was twenty-eight years old at the time, had good talent, but the Nangong family was not even considered an elder, and he was from a collateral line, so he would not have attracted Li Huohou's attention. If it is said that Nangong Yi will be exiled unluckily, there is a big reason why Nangong Yun caused it.
After all, Nangong Yun's talent is too strong.
Lord Yanyang is already a hundred years old, and only Li Huohou can carry the family banner after him. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally turns a blind eye. As long as he doesn't do too much, he will not bother.
"It's really ridiculous!" After listening to Nangong Yun's explanation, Chu Tian said, "This Lord Yanyang is also old and incompetent. Nangong Yun has a god-level soul, but instead of being reused, he is squeezed out. It's really ridiculous!"
Shen Bingyu said lightly: "After all, Li Huohou is his own son, Nangong Yun was born in a collateral lineage, Lord Yanyang is not a saint, so it is hard to guarantee that he has no selfishness."
That's true.
"Understood!" Nangong Yun drank a few glasses of wine, his head was a little dizzy, and he slapped the table angrily: "Ten years have passed, and there are not many people left in Lie Yanhou's lineage! The Nangong family is fighting. As a result, the strength was greatly reduced, and instead, the damn conspirators of the Shangguan family took the upper hand!"
The Dongfang family rose up in the face of danger, forcibly carried the collapsed mountains and rivers, and thus embraced half of the land of the human race.
The Nangong family had countless generals, galloped on the battlefield and shed countless blood, and made great contributions to the establishment of Nanxia.
What is the virtue and ability of the Shangguan family? What qualifications does he have to be one of the three major families!
In fact, the Shangguan family was one of the largest consortiums in the country during the Great Xia Kingdom. Therefore, it has connections with many foreign families and can borrow foreign aid in emergencies. Now it is a diplomat and an internal affairs officer in Nanxia Kingdom, and has a very strong financial background. financial resources. When the Great Xia Kingdom fell, the Great Rong Kingdom instinctively fell in one fell swoop. It was the Shangguan family who alienated the outside world, sowing conflicts within the various tribes of the Quanrong, causing internal friction, and internally uniting the big and small families of the South Xia Kingdom.
Combine vertical and horizontal to stabilize the overall situation.
Half of the long-term internal strife in the Quanrong Grassland is the masterpiece of the Shangguan family. In addition, the Shangguan family has a high business status. It has established alliances with some surrounding countries and foreign races, and can provide assistance to the Nanxia Kingdom at critical moments.
all in all.
There are reasons for the three major families to achieve today's status.
From Nangong Yun's mouth, Chu Tian gradually understood the general situation of Wangcheng.
As for the conflict of interests among these big families, Chu Tian always scoffed at them, but when he entered this circle, he had to take precautions.
Due to the lack of cultivation resources in Tiannan City, Nangong's strength has improved very slowly in the past ten years, but in the past few months, he has advanced by leaps and bounds. Li Huohou must have his eye on him.
Li Huohou's attempt to annex the Miracle Chamber of Commerce was actually to block the way for Nangong Yun's father and daughter to rise. Although it ended in failure, it is hard to guarantee that they will not come up with other methods.
Forget it!
Chu Tian even dared to offend King Nan Xia and Lord Wen Cheng, so what could Li Huo Hou be
I didn't see that he was also one of the Eight Marquises, Kamikaze Hou was about to become Chutian's subordinate, and Jin Jianhou was also stabbing for Chutian. As for Marquis Sifang, Hou Ye, who was also born in a wealthy family, was captured and humiliated by Chu Tian!
Nangong Yun looked at Chutian: "Boss, will you take action against the Nangong family?"
"Do you want me to deal with it?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"If you want to deal with it, I will help you teach the Nangong family a lesson. Who made me the boss of Yi Bo Yuntian, and my younger brother has been wronged. Of course, I will help you out."
Nangong Yunbai took a look at Chutian: "Look at how easy you said, the Nangong family is a huge beast, would you provoke such a giant for me?" He said so, but he was still very happy in his heart. Very generous, did not follow the wrong person!
Chu Tian just shook his head: "Nanxia Kingdom is too small!"
The journey from Zhongzhou to Wangcheng is quite long, and Sizhou Lake can walk half way north, and then turn to the river and continue north, then you can go directly to the vicinity of Wangyu.
The Nanxia Kingdom has one domain and eight states.
Wangyu, where Wangcheng is located, has eight counties: Zhongzhou, Leizhou, Nanzhou, Qingzhou, Cangzhou, Luzhou, Xizhou, and Dongzhou.
Every state and county has its own emphasis, and Zhongzhou must be one of the eight states. The geographical location is very important, mainly as a coordination hub. Leizhou is a place for military training, Nanzhou is a barrier against barbarians, Qingzhou is a land of resources, Cangzhou is a land of domestically produced horses in Nanxia, and the horses of the Gale Cavalry are all from Cangzhou...
For Nanxia Kingdom, every state and county is very important.
Therefore, people with enough prestige and trust must be sent to guard it. The Eight Marquises of Nanxia are not only the first-class in Nanxia Kingdom in strength, but their credit and prestige must reach the standard to be eligible to become a county marquis.
This is why, after Chutian became the dominant family in Zhongzhou, the King of Nanxia was very dissatisfied with him.
The king of Nanxia can tolerate Chutian seriously injuring the special envoy, the king of Nanxia can tolerate Chutian destroying the three major families, the king of Nanxia can tolerate Chutian's rebellion, but he can't tolerate a Chutian who has no name as a marquis but has the real status of a marquis sky.
This time Chutian came to Zhongzhou, it was not a question of whether he wanted to come, but a must.
"President!" A capable member of the Jusha Gang walked in: "Are we going to change the course?"
Chu Tian asked strangely, "Why?"
"We originally planned to follow the canal to reach Chu at the junction of Cangzhou and Wangyu, and then go overland to enter Wangcheng, but there have been some changes ahead. There have been several tragic murders on the border of Cangzhou, and now it has caused a lot of shock. Wangcheng master."
Is there such a thing
Chu Tian must keep a low profile when entering the royal city.
So if you can not attract attention, you will not attract attention.
The investigation will definitely be very strict now. I'm afraid this ship from the distant Central Province will attract the attention of some people.
"A bloody case?" Nangong Yun came to his senses: "A bloody case? What kind of bloody case, how tragic is it?"
The Shark Gang member shook his head and said: "It is said that several villages with a population of over a thousand, and even a town were massacred. The methods were extremely cruel and caused great panic."
"What? There is such a thing!"
"It is said that a dog Rong army invaded, and some people said that a group of powerful demon cultivators were active. These rumors have not been confirmed. Look..."
Chu Tian said directly: "Go ashore!"
"ah?"
"It's not far from Wangcheng, let's go by land and take a look."
