Southern Xinjiang.
It is located in the extreme south of the Daqian Dynasty, close to Shiwanda Mountain.
Because it is located in a border area, it is called Southern Xinjiang.
There is a city in southern Xinjiang.
Name: Tiannan.
The status of Tiannan City in southern Xinjiang is comparable to that of the imperial capital of Zhongzhou and Yunqi City in Yunzhou.
Tiannan City is also where Li Dao will take office.
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
At this time, after a month of long journey, Li Dao successfully entered the Tiannan City in southern Xinjiang with his 200 Rakshasa Army and 3,000 Pagoda Army.
On an ancient road, a cavalry team stretching hundreds of meters was marching along it.
This cavalry team is none other than Li Dao and others who set off from Fufeng Pass.
Because spring has arrived in the south and the climate is humid, all the pagoda troops except Li Dao have taken off their heavy armor and put on ordinary military uniforms.
At the front of the team, Zhang Meng and Xue Bing were responsible for clearing the way, while Li Dao followed closely behind.
"Boss, that should be Tiannan City."
After passing a corner, Xue Bing looked far away and saw a majestic tall city appearing in the distance.
Li Dao looked at the city in the distance, nodded and said, "It should be right here."
Hearing this, Zhang Meng breathed a long sigh of relief, then raised his head and grinned, "We finally arrived in Tiannan. We must have a good meal when we enter the city. This month we have only hunted game in order to hurry up."
On the side, Xue Bing turned around and said, "Boss, since we are here, how about we speed up?"
"Then hurry up and get there."
"Okay!"
...
Soon after, after a period of speeding up, the team of more than 3,000 people finally arrived outside Tiannan City.
But when he saw the passers-by coming and going outside Tiannan City, Xue Bing, who was walking at the front, frowned.
He immediately said, "Boss, something seems wrong about this situation."
Zhang Meng glanced at it, scratched his head and said, "Old Xue, isn't this normal? Something is wrong."
"You are stupid. The boss is a governor and a high-ranking official in the border areas. When he takes office in a place, not to mention the scene where hundreds of officials greet him, it is impossible for no one to show up. Look at the outside of the city gate, except for pedestrians. Are there any officials?"
Hearing this, Zhang Meng reacted, slapped his thigh fiercely, and couldn't help but said, "This local official is too rude. Isn't this just putting our boss to death?"
Li Dao glanced outside the city gate, and then said, "Okay, let's just say a few words and let's enter the city first."
Under Li Dao's order, Xue Bing and Zhang Meng continued to lead the team forward.
Soon, the long queue arrived at the city gate.
After arriving here, Xue Bing discovered something strange again.
It is too strange that there is not even a guard guarding the gate of a central city like Tiannan City in a state, and it is just allowed for pedestrians to come and go. This is too strange.
Seeing this, Xue Bing subconsciously turned back to look at Li Dao.
Li Dao also noticed this at this time.
However, compared to these, his attention was mostly focused on the pedestrians walking around Tiannan City.
From these pedestrians, he sensed a vague sense of rejection.
Looking at Xue Bing, Li Dao raised his hand and said, "Keep walking."
Soon, a long queue entered Tiannan City.
Entering the city, Li Dao took a look at the scene in the city.
To be honest, at a glance, everything in Tiannan City seemed normal.
Like other cities, there are vendors hawking, vendors yelling, and pedestrians coming and going.
The only thing that made Li Dao feel wrong was the atmosphere in Tiannan City.
In the same scene, Yun Qicheng gave him a feeling of vitality.
But Tiannan City gave him a feeling of depression and dullness, as if something was always pressing on this city.
The feeling of discomfort was even stronger than when Yunqicheng was filled with white banners.
After entering the city, the team led by Li Dao continued to move forward.
When entering the long street, the long queue quickly attracted the attention of pedestrians and vendors on both sides.
After seeing the clothes on Li Dao and others, the original shouting stopped for a while, and the passers-by also stopped. Some people looked at Li Dao and others openly, while others used their spare time to look at them. Just look at it.
It seemed that they were like a group of aliens entering Tiannan City.
Li Dao's keen sense detected the emotions in many eyes.
There was indifference, disdain, disgust, and even a lot of joking expressions.
However, more of it is numbness.
It seems that their arrival will not have any impact on these people at all.
This weird scene continued until Li Dao and others passed this place.
When their backs disappeared on this long street, the group of people who seemed to be frozen began to move again, as if nothing happened just now.
However, that's not all the weirdness.
In the following section of the road, wherever Li Dao led his people, they received the same treatment as before.
At the end of the day, Zhang Meng couldn't stand the looks of these people. He turned around and couldn't help but said, "Boss, the people here are too strange."
Hearing this, Li Dao looked around and said, "It's normal to be weird. After all, this is southern Xinjiang."
If he came here without knowing anything, Li Dao would be surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.
But since he learned about the internal situation in Southern Xinjiang from Yang Lin, he didn't have too many expectations for this place from the beginning. On the contrary, it would be strange if it was normal.
Moreover, this situation is actually a good thing for him as the governor.
After all, only when a problem is discovered can we begin to solve it.
Li Dao then said, "Ignore these for now, let's find a place to stay in the Governor's Mansion first."
Zhang Meng turned around and asked, "Boss, where is the Governor's Mansion you mentioned?"
"It's my first time here too, how could I know?"
"..."
If he was greeted by officials when he arrived, they wouldn't have to worry about such a trivial matter.
But the important thing is that after they arrived, apart from facing a group of strange civilians, there was no trace of anyone else.
Xue Bing looked at the bewildered Zhang Meng and said helplessly, "Old Zhang, if we don't know, we can find someone to ask."
"oh oh!"
After Zhang Meng came to his senses, he looked at the pedestrian who was looking at them on one side, and then rode close to him.
However, before he could get closer, the pedestrians immediately scattered and ran to the side as soon as they saw him approaching.
This made Zhang Meng's forehead appear with a layer of veins.
Not only are the local officials rude, but the locals are also rude.
Finally, Zhang Meng locked his eyes on a vendor setting up a stall.
When the vendor noticed Zhang Meng's gaze, he was startled and immediately packed up his things and left.
But Zhang Meng was one step ahead of him and grabbed the package behind the vendor before he left.
The food belongings were seized, and the vendor had no choice but to leave.
"You...what do you want to do? I tell you I have no money."
The vendor looked nervous, looked at the fierce Zhang Meng and said with a trembling tone
Zhang Meng's face turned dark and he said angrily, "Who wants your money?"
"Then you...then what do you want to do?"
"I just wanted to ask for directions."
Zhang Meng looked at the vendor who was about to cry and said, "Let me ask you, do you know where the Governor's Palace is?"
Hearing this, the vendor quickly raised his hand and pointed in one direction.
After taking a look at the direction pointed by the vendor, Zhang Meng let go and said at the same time, "That's right, why are you running..."
Before he could say the last word, he saw the vendor disappearing in a flash.
