The streets of Broken Wind City are quite prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets. There are also many patrol teams. Judging from their clothes, the patrol officers are all transferred from the Star Army. They all have solemn expressions and are unusually majestic.
After a period of rectification, the order in Pofeng City has returned to normal. The vendors on both sides of the road are shouting non-stop, and many inns and shops have been opened. Walking on the streets of the city, several people have the feeling of walking in a bustling city.
Since they came out privately without any entourage, no one paid attention to their presence when they came to the street, which made them feel very comfortable.
Following Lan Rou, Lu Yunyou and the others visited various stalls one by one and saw various utensils. Many of them were gadgets that only the Sugarcoat siblings could name. It was quite interesting to look at them while walking.
"When the martial arts competition is over, I will go back to White Jade City." As she walked, Lan Rou suddenly turned around and asked Lu Yunyou, "It's much more lively there than here!"
"Is White Jade City bigger than Po Feng City?" Lu Yunyou asked curiously, raising his eyebrows.
"It's about the same size, but there must be more people in Baiyu City than in Pofeng City," Bai Ye replied. Today's Pofeng City is no longer what it used to be. Many city residents have moved away for refuge, and there are few merchants in the city. Naturally, there are no As prosperous as before.
"Tomorrow is the Sword Emperor's Day. I heard that there is a large market in Pofeng City. It should be very lively there. Let's go over there and have a look." He was not very interested in talking about the difference between Pofeng City and White Jade City. Lan Rou has a place in her heart that she wants to go to.
"Sword King's Day," Fang Qing muttered, suddenly showing a look of realization, and then directly urged the others: "Let's go faster."
Immediately afterwards, several people accelerated their pace. After passing a crowd, they got closer and closer to the large market. On the way, Lu Yunyou was also excited, constantly thinking that the Sword Emperor Festival was a desirable festival.
Although his past is unbearable to look back on, his expectations for the Sword Emperor's Day are not much different from others, because the Sword Emperor's Day is a day worth celebrating, but he is not sure whether the people of Feng Kingdom can be happy now, because Feng The people of our country have just experienced the tragedy of national subjugation.
In addition, as the largest festival in the Central Territory, the Sword Emperor Festival has a short history. Thousands of years ago, the day when the Sword Emperor Jian Feixian passed away was April 18. Later, people in the Central Territory commemorated Jian Feixian’s death. Therefore, April 18th every year is designated as the Sword Emperor's Day.
Passed down to this day, the Sword Emperor Festival has become the largest festival in the Central Region. According to etiquette and customs, on the day of the Sword Emperor Festival, neighbors should visit each other, congratulate each other and pray together for the eternity of peace.
Recalling the time when he and Ling Yun visited Sword Emperor Cliff, Lu Yunyou couldn't help but think that if the Central Territory had been unified back then, maybe he wouldn't have known so many friends, but he wouldn't have had to live such a wandering life.
While feeling emotional, following Lan Rou, Lu Yunyou gradually discovered that although the Feng Kingdom had changed dynasties, the people still had great enthusiasm for the Sword Emperor Festival. The further they walked toward the city, the stronger the festival atmosphere became. From now on Judging from the situation, it is obvious that the purpose of these people's festival is to pray for peace.
Ten days ago, Lan Jing, on behalf of the Star Kingdom royal family, announced to the new people of the Star Kingdom that everyone could celebrate the festival normally. The Star Kingdom royal family wanted to gain the favor of the people of the former Phoenix Kingdom and at the same time show how they would rule the former Phoenix Kingdom. Due to the country's attitude, the date of the martial arts tournament was set on the Sword Emperor's Day.
Immersed in the lively atmosphere on the street, Lu Yunyou quickly forgot all the worries of the past. Not long after, they walked to a large market.
The market is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and red festive ornaments are hung everywhere. Many shops also sell various items used to celebrate the Sword Emperor Festival. There are items for ordinary people and items for sale to martial cultivators. There are all kinds of items. , and the price is fair.
After entering the market, Lu Yunyou noticed many things for sale to martial cultivators, such as elixirs, martial arts, prescriptions, herbal medicines, weapons, and all kinds of common things, but they were all ordinary items.
He was dazzled by the various items. Lu Yunyou kept thinking that this was where they should come. Following the others, Lu Yunyou gradually obtained a lot of useful information for him through the conversations with others.
Walk around and take a look. The further inside you go, the more martial arts you have and your strength is higher. There are also many Star Army personnel in the market. You can imagine that those Star Army members who can come to the market have certain abilities in the army. status.
The market was so big that it was already noon by the time they were able to visit the entire market. After leaving the market, a few people randomly found an inn and gathered around a table to enjoy a comfortable lunch.
While eating, several people were still talking about what they saw and heard in the market. Some items that were not usually seen, such as golden soft armor, Zui Yuan Powder, and ferocious beast essence and blood, became a hot topic among everyone. topic of.
"Ni Youbin, is that Hengxing Pharmacy the property of your Ni family?" As he was talking, Fang Qing suddenly thought of a place he had just seen.
"Yes," Ni Youbin answered simply.
"Then why didn't you tell them then?" Fang Qing asked directly, thinking that there should be many things beneficial to their practice in the medicine interview.
"You didn't ask," Ni Youbin rolled his eyes at Fang Qing angrily. Ni Youbin immediately thought of what Fang Qing was planning.
"Hmph, it seems you are stingy, you are afraid that we will take your things for nothing," Fang Qing said slightly dissatisfied with Ni Youbin's answer.
"How is that possible? Based on our relationship, it doesn't matter even if I give that pharmacy to you," Fang Qing denied the question. Ni Youbin quickly explained: "It's just that I don't have anything with me to prove my identity."
"Ni Youbin, don't play tricks with us. You are the eldest son of the Ni family. I don't believe that the shopkeeper of the drug store doesn't recognize you." Fang Qing didn't believe Ni Youbin's explanation at all, so Fang Qing directly stated his point of view.
"Your Ni Family Chamber of Commerce has opened a shop here?" The conversation between the two gradually attracted Bai Ye's attention. Considering that this was Pofeng City, Bai Ye was a little surprised by the conversation between the two.
"Originally, there were many local shops in Pofeng City, but due to the war between the two countries, some shops have been evacuated in advance. Now that the people in those shops are unwilling to come back, other shops will naturally move in," said Ni Youbin in an understatement. I don’t think there is anything surprising about the appearance of their Ni family shop in Pofeng City.
"It turns out that there is Brother Ni's shop in the city. Brother Ni, please take us there to have a look." After Ni Youbin spoke again, Tangbao, who was just busy eating, finally understood what the others were saying. A shop owned by the Ni family had a strange look in his eyes.
"Okay, I'm going too," then, without waiting for Ni Youbin to say anything, Fang Qing immediately agreed to Tangbao's proposal, followed by others who agreed.
After being surprised, Lu Yunyou couldn't help but think that compared with the Ni family's business, the Lu family's businesses were just small businesses at the beginning. The more he thought about it, the more surprised he was at the strength of the Ni family chamber of commerce.
After finishing their meal in a hurry, the seven of them drank some tea and rested for a while. Then, at Tangbao's urging, they turned back toward the market. They were the only ones in the market who had the word "Hengxing" on their signboards. Place to go.
Walking to the drug store, Lu Yunyou suddenly remembered that the drug store owner might be very knowledgeable about medicine. Maybe he could ask him about his physical problems. Unfortunately, Ni Youbin did not reveal his identity to the drug store owner. They just went in for a normal stroll.
While a few people were wandering around in the market, Lan Jing was in a main hall, discussing matters with some relatives of the Star Kingdom emperor wearing python robes and jade belts.
"Your Highness, there are many places in Feng Kingdom that are unwilling to surrender to our Star Kingdom and blatantly refuse to change their household registration!" During the meeting, the royal relatives directly stated the problems to Lan Jing,
"My father has emphasized this matter in advance. If they are unwilling, they can be forcibly expelled from the country." He didn't know how big the specific problem was, but Lan Jing knew how to solve it.
"What if they are also unwilling to go abroad?" someone asked again.
"The only way is to take some tough measures. The Star Kingdom army is here, so they must not dare to act recklessly." Since they came, they have not done anything to harm the people of Feng Kingdom. If someone in Feng Kingdom really resists them, Lan Jing has only one way to deal with it.
"But now that the Marshal is not here, it has not been long since our army captured Feng Kingdom, and the jurisdiction over various areas is not in place. If there is resistance in many places, it may not be conducive to our country's rule over the new people." This is a big matter, and those stars What the emperor is most worried about is that someone in Feng State will rebel.
"Lan Jing has thought about the emperor's concerns, but if the emperor doesn't have any good suggestions, he should still follow Lan Jing's method." Shaking his head, Lan Jing no longer wanted to talk about meaningless topics.
There were only Lan Jing and a few others in the entire hall. As the most powerful person in Star Kingdom, Lan Jing was discussing with others how to fully and effectively control Star Kingdom.
