They stopped in front of the city gate and looked up at Liu Mo on the city. "Master Liu, we know where the person you are looking for is."
Liu Mo stared at the stranger under the city gate, feeling shocked. "Who are you? Do you know me? Also, do you know the person I'm looking for?"
The man with withered skin replied in rough Daxia dialect, "Your sixth prince from Daxia is a guest in our tribe. It was he who asked us to come to the wilderness to find you."
Liu Mo was shocked when he heard this.
The strangers under the city wall were dressed in strange clothes, and their appearance was completely different from the people of the Zhou Dynasty.
"The Sixth Prince is in their tribe?" Liu Mo fell into deep thought.
"Master Liu, could it be a trick of the Zhou Dynasty people? Want to deceive us and catch us all?" Zhu Min asked.
"That makes no sense!" Sun Kan replied, "Can this place be considered a city?"
Liu Mo also knew this, as the city's defense capabilities were extremely limited.
"What should we do? Drive them back?" Zhu Min asked.
While several people were arguing, the person who came took out a jade pendant from his arms and said loudly: "This is your sixth prince's token. He asked us to give it to you, Mr. Liu!"
Liu Mo took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the jade pendant of the sixth prince.
"The Sixth Prince is really with them?" Zhu Min was shocked. "This is how the same thing?"
Liu Mo had mixed feelings in his heart, they had indeed met the Sixth Prince. Then there are only two possibilities.
1: The Sixth Prince and their troops have been completely wiped out, and the jade pendant is their trophy.
Two: The Sixth Prince has reached some kind of agreement with them and is "visiting" in their tribe!
No matter which one it is, Liu Mo doesn't have many choices!
"Then please lead the way, we will follow you!" Liu Mo announced loudly.

When Liu Mo arrived, people sounded gongs on the city walls to announce his arrival, while others blew strange horns coiled like giant bronze snakes.
A group of cavalry came out of the city to act as his escort.
The riders wore bronze scale armor, long-beaked helmets with bronze teeth and long black feathers, and sat high on gorgeous saddles.
"Yezi City is the greatest city in history." Liang Ding told Liu Mo when he greeted him. "It is the center of the world, the gateway between north and south, and the bridge between east and west. It is ancient and transcends people's memory."
Liu Mo thought that Liang Ding always added words to his words, but the magnificence of this great city was undeniable.
Three thick walls surround Yezi City, with various exquisite carvings on the walls. The outer wall is made of red sandstone, thirty feet high, and is carved with various animals: snakes crawling, kites spreading wings, and fish gliding.
Also mixed in are the wolves of the red wasteland, as well as zebras and giant elephants.
The central wall is forty feet high and made of gray granite. It is carved with lifelike war scenes: swords clashing, contradictions striking each other, arrows falling like rain, heroes fighting, babies being slaughtered, and burning pyres.
The inner wall is made of black marble fifty feet high. The outer gate is inlaid with copper, the middle gate is inlaid with iron, and the inner gate is inlaid with many eyes.
These city gates opened one by one as Liu Mo approached.
He rode into the city on a big horse, and the children ran out and scattered flowers all over his path. These children wore nothing but sandals and were covered in bright paint.
All the colors that the previous dead city lacked seemed to have come to Yezi City. He was surrounded by buildings crowded with buildings, showing different shades of dreamy roses, violets and sepia tones.
He passed a bronze arch carved in the shape of two mating snakes, their scales made of fine emerald, obsidian, and lapis lazuli. Countless slender spiers stood tall. Liu Mo had never seen such a tall tower in his life.
Each square has elaborate fountains in strange shapes. The nightstanders line the streets or watch from elaborate balconies—balconies so elaborate that it’s doubtful they can support a person’s weight.
They were tall, dark-skinned people who wore clothes made of linen, brocade, and animal skins.
Liu Mo rode in front of them, feeling vulgar and wild.
He glanced at Zhu Min, Sun Kan and others around him, and Liu Mo saw the same surprise in their eyes.
There was such a city in the northern wilderness of the Zhou Dynasty!
Liang Ding led Liu Mo's troops through a huge arcaded street, where the city's ancient heroes stood on white and green marble columns three times life-size.
They then walked through a market house, housed in a huge building with many openings and a coffered ceiling that was home to thousands of colorful birds.
Dense trees and flowers grow on the platform above the store, and inside the store, there is a dazzling array of products.
When the Sixth Prince's cronies came over, everyone was finally relieved.
"Zheng Cheng!" Zhu Min called out the man's name. "I didn't expect to see you in a place like this!"
"Haha, things are unpredictable!" Zheng Cheng got off his horse and saluted Liu Mo, "Governor Liu, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"
"General Zheng!" Liu Mo returned the greeting. "Take us to see the Sixth Prince quickly!"
"Back to Master Liu, the Sixth Prince is not in Yezi City!"
"Oh?" Liu Mo said in surprise, "Then where did he go?"
"Your Highness, together with the troops from Yezi City, went to destroy the enemy invaders!"
"Ah?" Zhu Min was shocked when he heard this. "What's going on?" he asked.
Then, Liang Ding warmly invited Liu Mo to live in his home.
Liu Mo expected that it would be a mansion, but he didn't expect it to be a palace bigger than the market. In comparison, Liu Mo's mansion in Rongcheng was like a swineherd's hut, he thought.
"You mean, we are lost?" Zhu Min asked.
"Yes!" Liang Ding replied, "It's normal to get lost in the vast wilderness! Besides, there are also mazes set up by our ancestors in that wilderness. You are not the first group to get lost in that wilderness. people!"
"So, we have been walking west instead of north?" Liu Mo asked.
"Yes!" Liang Ding replied.
Unexpectedly, to the west of this great Zhou Dynasty, there is also a Western Region similar to the Earth! Liu Mo couldn't help but sigh.
"What about the north of Zhou Dynasty? Is it really a swamp?"
"Well!" Liang Ding said, "The north of the Zhou Dynasty is similar to what is recorded in the history books. It is impossible to cross the swamp. It can be said that if your army really goes to the north, it will most likely be wiped out."
I should be lucky to have lost my way, Liu Mo couldn't help but think to himself.
"Then when will we set off to support the Sixth Prince?" Zhu Min asked.
It turned out that according to Liang Ding's words, the reason why the Yezi people accepted the Sixth Prince was conditional.
Wherever there are people, there will be disputes, and Ye Zi is no exception.
The lost Daxia army wanted to live in Yezi City, so they had to help the Yezi people defeat their mortal enemies.
The sixth prince had followed Ye Zi's troops out of the city to fight not long ago.
"After seven days of rest and recuperation, I will come to you!" Liang Ding announced.
