That is the city.
This upright, square, and orderly city has stood neatly in Daze County for many years.
It is said that it was not like this before. Although it was also regular, it was not as demanding as it is now. It seemed that every detail had to be symmetrical.
But not many people can tell what it was like before.
It is difficult for people living in the city to notice the subtle changes in a city. People always accept it slowly and get used to it slowly.
As for outsiders...
Except when the secret realm of Seven Star Tower is open, there are never many outsiders coming to Jijicheng.
Among all the top famous families in Daqi, the most closed-minded one is undoubtedly the Osawada family. Why, people know very well.
And since that person whose name people avoided moved into the Prime Minister's Building, there have been fewer and fewer discussions about this city and this Prime Minister's Building.
What's not good to talk about?
You don't have to go to a lunatic to seek death.
After all, if you simply want to die, you can choose a more comfortable way to die.
Tian Xili, the head of the Tian clan and the Marquis of Gaochang, is currently attending the ceremony in Linzi. Tian Huanwen, another strong divine presence in the clan, is presiding over the overall situation overseas.
But the entire city was still running so calmly and monotonously, without any ripples.
Because that one... hates waves.
Political wisdom and governance skills are outside of it, that is, the city officials only need to know two things. First, it is best not to cause trouble for that person. Second, it is best not to be a trouble.
Because of that one person, the solution to trouble is too simple. It was so simple that there was no chance to make amends, let alone regret.
It's a nice day today.
Because of the grand ceremony far away in Linzi, the weather in the entire Qi Kingdom will not be bad today.
"People ask God to open his face, and God must open his face."
This is a very colorful sentence in the history of spiritual practice. Several legendary sages have matched this sentence, and I don’t know who said it. But the art of changing celestial phenomena has become simple since then.
Of course, this "simple" is only a relative concept, but for a world-powerful country like Qi State, simple or not is simple.
At this moment, there are no traces of flowing clouds, the sky is clear and vast, and the sun shines down on the city.
A man of medium height wearing a cloak came from the other end of the official road and walked in through the open city gate. The pace is leisurely, neither rushed nor slow.
City guard Tian Sifu yawned lazily, some sleepiness at the end of summer lingering on his eyelids.
In Daze County, no one dared to cause trouble for Tian.
But in Jicheng, Tian's family has no trouble.
So the job of guarding the city is really boring.
But when the yawn came out, he suddenly woke up, quickly adjusted his posture, and stood still without looking away.
"Damn, let's relax." He thought uneasily.
No matter how boring it is, there are rules for defending the city.
Jicheng is a city that pays great attention to "rules".
People have known the rules of this city many times and have a very deep understanding of them. No need, and no desire to be reminded again.
The man in the cloak didn't care about the mood of the guards.
After he followed the entry team into the city gate, he stood on the street and looked around.
People were passing by in a hurry on the street, and whoever saw him only glanced at him out of curiosity.
People in Jicheng seem to be extremely busy, too busy to tolerate curiosity.
The streets are lined with almost identical houses. The eaves, doors and windows follow the same pattern and are almost mirror images. Even the signboards of each store are in the same format.
Only the people in the store are different, but they are all wearing similar style clothes. It seems that in Jicheng, people from all walks of life have a certain way of wearing what they wear.
This is really a very strict city.
"Hey! What about you! Don't stand in the middle of the road!"
At the city gate, a guard scolded.
Tian Sifu kept his eyes straight. Maintaining order was also the duty of a guard, and he was accustomed to these things.
Looking forward from here, there is a strange sense of order on the whole street.
There seemed to be an invisible line in the middle of the street, dividing the crowd in the entire street into two halves.
There is a clear distinction between what comes and what goes.
And the man in the cloak happened to be standing on the invisible center line, which was quite abrupt and eye-catching.
"Oh, okay, sorry." The man in the cloak apologized obediently.
This is a male voice with some vicissitudes of life.
The apology was sincere, but he didn't really move out of the way. His feet seemed to be nailed down, motionless, still stuck in the middle of the road.
He looked around and sighed to himself: "This place is different from before."
"What's wrong with you? I'm talking to you, can't you understand?" The guard who shouted to drive him away became angry, walked over with a knife in hand, and said sternly: "Do you want to die!?"
The cloaked man didn't even turn his head, and pressed his hand with his backhand.
The air gathered into a huge translucent hand, fell from the sky, and crushed the guard into mincemeat on the spot!
"Ah!"
Screams rang out, and the hurried crowd dispersed.
The guards guarding the city immediately unsheathed their sabers, and some also beat the drums.
But this man was still standing in the middle of the road, as if indifferent to all this.
“There are always people who are talking nicely, and people are always talking nicely.”
He shook his head and said: "It's you people named Tian, you don't understand!"
Tian Sifu pulled out the standard long sword, his hands were shaking, and he was shouting indiscriminately, but he didn't move forward even half a step. Everyone can see that this cloaked man is not something they can deal with...
For some reason, he was out of danger at this moment, and it occurred to him that the guard who had just been killed was not actually named Tian. He is the one with the surname Tian... Of course, his Tian is not that good, otherwise he wouldn't be guarding the city gate here.
But the legs are softer.
The man who brazenly killed the guard was on the street connecting the city gate. He casually took off his cloak and threw it aside.
Whoosh!
The cloak made of ordinary material whistled and flew away. The sound suddenly became fierce and turned straight into a shop, knocking a smooth hole out of the entire house!
After the cloak was taken off, his middle-aged face with a stubble and a sigh was revealed.
This person was standing on this long street, shouting loudly: "We have been friends for many years, and we have been separated for a long time. Greetings. Fufeng Liu family, Liu Xiao came to visit! Who is in the Tian family!?"
Liu Xiao, the only divine presence powerhouse of the Fufeng Liu clan!
Liu Xiao, who personally took action and led his men to siege Tian Anping in Changming County, was defeated by the opponent and failed to succeed!
The feud of the Osawada clan!
On this day when Tian Huanwen and Tian Xili are not here, in July when Tian Anping's ten-year sentence is about to expire.
He comes to visit!
He asked who was in the Tian family, but he thought he didn't need to see anyone else.
Its sound roared, covering the whole city.
In Tian Sifu's horrified eyes, Liu Xiao stood up and flew quickly over the chaotic crowd, drawing a sharp arc in the air, aiming directly at the Auxiliary Building in the center of the city. !
…
…
Linzi.
In front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple and on the square, everyone looked solemn.
The ceremonial officer held the edict and loudly announced in front of the Emperor Dan: "...Now there is a person who bears the name of the Chongxuan family. He is of unparalleled magnificence and is fighting for the country. We will show off our power at the Guanhe Tower and let the world know that we are the heroes of Da Qi... bestow the Yuan Stone." One hundred pills, a piece of Huangjie's top-notch Taoism! Follow your heart and act accordingly. Don't forget Qingyun's aspirations, always cherish the virtues of a great deal, admire this!"
Zhong Xuanzun, dressed in white as snow, bowed to express his gratitude. His style and appearance were still impeccable.
The reward is not light, but for Chong Xuanzun, it is not heavy either.
However, everyone also knows that the Yellow River Conference has never won second place in the past, so there will not be such a grand ceremony. Chongxuanzun was able to receive this award, which was partly due to the glory of winning the championship this time.
But then again.
The words "peerless elegance" were read out on the imperial edict, which fully demonstrated Emperor Qi's expectations for him.
It can be regarded as a verification of the so-called "taking away the elegance of peers" that has been circulated among the people.
Other rewards and the like are not that important.
And this elegant young man in white still had a vague smile on his lips, showing no arrogance or humiliation.
Chong Xuan Zun is willing to play a supporting role, which shows his unparalleled self-confidence.
Knowing that today was Jiang Wang's home court, he had no intention of avoiding the edge.
Even if he left the show early and found any reason to retreat, no one would say anything to him. After all, his performance on the river viewing platform is obvious to all, and everyone knows what a proud person he is.
But he just participated in this ceremony as usual, walking with Jiang Wang, who was destined to be the most dazzling today.
Watching Jiang Wang's glory.
His arrogance cannot be expressed in words.
There were some people who wanted to see his joke, and those contemptuous meanings were also scattered behind his fluttering white clothes.
The honor of being the leader of the Yellow River Society is certainly the highest honor.
But such a famous name is not enough to suppress Zhong Xuanzun.
Although Jiang Qingyang is dazzling, why should he avoid the edge!
