After receiving Kong Ming's seal, the generals who protected the city no longer dared to neglect, and directly ordered the city gates to be opened to welcome Kong Ming and others into the city.
This city-protecting general is just a team leader and has not yet reached the rank of official. If he had the courage, he would not dare to block Kong Ming, a genuine viscount and a dignified fifth-rank bandit general, from the city gate. !
As for the so-called strict curfew, it can control ordinary people, but can it control a direct descendant of the Kong family, a young viscount
When Kong Ming and others saw the city gate open, they naturally filed in unceremoniously. At this time, the city guard general had already led a group of soldiers under his command, waiting respectfully inside the city gate. After seeing Kong Ming and others entering the city, the city guard general quickly stepped forward and knelt down, respectfully. Kong Ming held his seal high above his head and said tremblingly: "Why do you want to return to your humble position? I respectfully welcome Lord Kong to the city! Please forgive me for being disrespectful before!"
Kong Ming flicked the sleeves of his robe, and the seal in He Sigui's hand disappeared. Then Kong Ming smiled slightly and said: "General He, please get up quickly. You have a duty to defend the city. You act according to your duties. What crime?" ? To be honest, it is my fault for violating the curfew regulations. However, I will personally explain this matter to the city chief tomorrow and will not embarrass General He. "
When Kong Ming came to Yunxia City for the first time, he naturally would not offend anyone for no reason. Although He Sigui was just a captain, he was not a big shot in the military, but he could be responsible for the defense of the city gate, so he must have some experience in the military. Serving size. Moreover, this man is smart and capable. Although his cultivation level is not high, he can be regarded as a talent. Kong Ming naturally wants to show his kindness to him, and it is also for the sake of his own reputation.
He Sigui was a smart man. Seeing that Kong Ming was so polite, he was moved, so he saluted Kong Ming and said: "Master Kong's mansion is on the main road in the east of the city. It should be easy to find. It's a pity. I have a humble military position and am unable to lead the way for Lord Kong, so please forgive me."
Kong Ming laughed and said: "General He, there is no need to be so polite. It is fate that you and I have met each other today. When I settle down in the city, I will hold a banquet for all my colleagues to chat and have a good time. I will also invite General He to come. !”
He Sigui was surprised and happy, and kept saying: "How dare you take this? How dare you take this??"
Kong Ming did not continue to be polite to He Sigui, and left with everyone after bowing his hands.
The scale of Yunxia City is far larger than that of the Imperial Capital. Even compared with a district of the Imperial Capital, it is not on the same level at all. There are not many main roads in the city. There are only three vertical and three horizontal avenues. The entire Yunxia City is planned into a nine-square grid.
The east part of the city is the wealthy area. Most of the dignitaries and wealthy households in Yunxia City live in this area. Kong Ming was granted the title of Yunxia City, and both his residence and his residence were given by the royal family. His Viscount Mansion was originally a property of the royal family. It was not the largest residence in Yunxia City, but it was also magnificent with its carved beams and painted edifices. After this mansion was given to Kong Ming, it has been renovated, and some of the decorations that clearly bear the royal imprint have been changed, so that this mansion no longer has any royal imprint. Even if Kong Ming stayed away from home for more than half a year, he still arranged for someone to be responsible for cleaning the house every day, so that the mansion did not appear to be unpopular at all. Moreover, what He Sigui said was absolutely correct. Kong Ming and others only had to walk along the avenue and quickly found the mansion after arriving in the east of the city.
Since Kong Ming never left Tibet, there were only a few night watchmen in the mansion at night. When Kong Ming showed his seal to the night watchmen and proved his identity, the few people on the night watch voluntarily retreated, and Kong Ming's people took over the entire mansion. Come down.
Kong Ming did not bring many people this time. In addition to Moyue, Tiesuxin, Eugene, Lei Ming, Locke and others, plus the guards from the Demon clan, there were less than ten servants who were actually responsible for handling trivial matters. , if you really want to take care of this mansion with seven front and back doors, it is obviously not enough. However, Kong Ming and others were new arrivals, and the first night was just for check-in, so naturally they were able to handle it. They just need to slowly add more people in the future.
As for why the Hu family didn't keep all the servants after they granted this mansion, it was also due to an unwritten rule. Otherwise, if you really want to keep those servants who originally served the royal family, it will be arrogant on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will also arouse the suspicion of the recipients, who will think that the royal family's move is to plant ears and eyes around them.
Anyway, Mo Yue will take care of the trivial matters after moving in. Kong Ming does not need to waste time on this aspect. After he moved into the mansion, he immediately summoned Eugene, Lei Ming, Locke, Mo Fei and others to discuss matters in the study. Originally, as Tie Suxin's maid, she should handle all kinds of trivial matters with Mo Yue, but as a female think tank approved by the Cao family, when it comes time to discuss major matters, how can she not ask Ji Yu? The truth behind female think tanks? Therefore, Tie Suxin was also sitting in the study at this time.
At the beginning of the discussion, Lei Ming naturally introduced the situation in Yunxia City to everyone. After Kong Ming was granted this place, Lei Ming had already deployed many people to collect various information in Yunxia City. After more than half a year of investigation, he had a good grasp of the major forces in Yunxia City.
The head of Yunxia City naturally comes from the Duan family, the largest family in the area. Since "Benevolent Lord" Duan Ziwen, relying on the name of "Benevolent Lord", in just a few hundred years, the Duan family has developed into the well-deserved largest family in Yunxia City. Even if you look at the entire Izumo County, the Duan family is still the largest family in Yunxia City. A wealthy family that can be among the best!
However, the reputation of the Duan family, just like the Liu family in the imperial capital, was not achieved by the strong men in the family. It was entirely because of the reputation of the saint as a "benevolent king" that it developed so fast. Therefore, among the members of the family There are not many cultivators in the country. If they really compete with each other in terms of force, it would not be in line with the status of a wealthy family.
Duan Kaiyu, the leader of Yunxia City, is the current head of the Duan family and the only marshal-level strongman in the Duan family. It is said that he has the cultivation of an intermediate marshal and is known as the Duan family's number one prodigy in hundreds of years. He is the third-generation grandson of the "Renjun" Duan Ziwen. He has been in charge of the Duan family for more than a hundred years. He is highly respected in the Duan family and no one can shake his position. Duan Xingchao, who works beside the prince Hu Hao, and Duan Kaiyu are all Six generations apart, when facing Duan Kaiyu, apart from calling him "ancestor", he didn't know what to call him.
However, although Duan Kaiyu is known as the city leader, he has been in seclusion for a long time and has not really carried out his duties as the city leader. The person who really exercised the power of the city leader was Duan Kaiyu's great-great-grandson. This person was named Duan Yuanyi. He was a typical scholar, not a cultivator. It is estimated that the curfew order was issued by Duan Yuanyi. Otherwise, with the arrogance of cultivators, even if a large army is pressing down on the territory, they will not do anything like a curfew to show weakness.
Apart from the Duan family, the largest force in Yunxia City is the Yunxia Sect, the most famous sect in Izumo County.
Yunxia City is located in a plain, and the surrounding scenery is nothing special. Why is it named after Yunxia? The reason is precisely because of the Yunxia Sect!
The Yunxia Sect is known as the largest sect in Izumo County, and there are naturally many experts in the sect. It is said that there are even emperor-level experts sitting in the sect, but this level of experts has never appeared in front of others. Moreover, the Yunxia Sect has an extremely long history, and it was even during the Holy Empire era when the sect was established. It's just that in that turbulent era, Yunxia Sect was just a small and unpopular sect. Apart from being somewhat influential in the local area, it was really unknown.
It's just that the situation has changed, and after the baptism of time, countless large sects and powerful forces in the past have become a passing thing. However, the Yunxia sect is lucky enough to survive to this day, and has become the largest sect in Izumo County with a well-known reputation, and even Being able to have a city named after him shows how much the world has changed, and there is nothing more wonderful than this.
Of course, although the Yunxia Sect is famous, it is a reclusive sect. The leading figures in the sect hardly participate in the secular power struggle. However, the spokesperson of the Yunxia Sect in the secular world has a very high status in Yunxia City. He can be regarded as the official guest of Yunxia City, and he will be notified of any important events.
Since the head of Yunxia City is held by the Duan family, who manages the family in Wen, this also makes Yunxia City's military have its own system.
Yunxia City's military and horse commander's surname is He and his first name is Muhua. He is not a native of Yunxia City, but comes from the frontier army of Izumo County. He was promoted to Yunxia City's military and horse commander after accumulating merit. He has been More than twenty years. It can be said that almost all Yunxia City's military personnel were promoted by He Muhua from top to bottom, which also gave him supreme prestige in Yunxia City's military, and the He family also suddenly became one of the most important names in Yunxia City. A wealthy family. For example, He Sigui, who guarded the city gate before, was most likely a descendant of the He family.
He is just a team captain, and his cultivation level is only an entry-level Yuan Zhe, but he is quite methodical in doing things, and he is shrewd and capable in everything. If he is really a descendant of the He family, just looking at this person can tell the truth about the He family. It's extraordinary.
In Yunxia City, there is the Yunxia Sect, the largest sect in Izumo County with a long tradition, the Duan family, a large family with a holy name both among the people and scholars, and He Muhua, a veteran of the military, who has his own sect. Generally speaking, it is difficult for other forces to become the fourth pole of Yunxia City.
But in fact, there really is a fourth pole in Yunxia City, and that is the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance, which has a huge say in Yunxia City!
In fact, the voice of the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance is not only valid within Yunxia City, because all the famous cities and ports on the border of Izumo County will be more or less affected by the Yunxia City Chamber of Commerce Alliance!
