"Nanmeng City is really big!" Wu Yuan was riding a horse, looking at the city wall from a distance, and sighed sincerely.
In his previous life, Wu Yuan had seen an interstellar city with a population of nearly 100 million!
But that is the power of science and technology, and in the interstellar age, no one would build a city wall that is twenty to thirty meters high and stretches for dozens of miles.
Naturally, in Wu Yuan's eyes, Nanmeng City was quite novel.
"Haha, Nanmeng City has a population of one million. Most of the other fifteen cities in Jiangzhou are not as good as Nanmeng City." Wu Xiong said with a smile: "Only Yunshan City and Jiudong City are bigger than Nanmeng City."
"Even if we look at the entire world, Nanmeng City is considered a 'big city'." Wu Xiong said solemnly.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but nod.
He had some understanding of this geographical knowledge during his several months at the Wuyuan. There are thirteen states in the world, and each state is vast. Not every state has a 'state city' in the exact sense.
For example, in Jiangzhou, although there are sixteen prefectures, there is no state city!
As for Yunshan City and Jiudong City that Wu Xiong mentioned, Wu Yuan also knew about them.
Since the demise of the Chujiang Empire, the Hengyun Sect quickly occupied the four prefectures of Hengshan, Yunshan, Baihu, and Nanmeng. These four prefectures did not suffer too much war until they were defeated in the Battle of Hengshan and lost the Hengshan Prefecture.
', The territory of Hengyun Sect has just changed from the land of four prefectures to the land of three prefectures.
Yunshan City is the capital of ‘Yunshan Mansion’, the headquarters of Hengyun Sect, and the core of Hengyun Sect’s rule.
The Hengyun Sect has been operating for hundreds of years, and the population and urban construction of Yunshan City are naturally stronger than those of ordinary prefectural cities.
The Jiudong City is the core of the place where Chen Ping, King of Baijiang, commands the four prefectures.
"However, the entire Jiangzhou is a plain area with only a few hills and large rivers. Looking at the world, in terms of wealth, only Dongzhou, Chuzhou and Shengzhou can compare." Wu Yuan sighed secretly.
There are thirteen states in the world, and the seven states in the Central Plains are the core!
"Sir, let's go into the city." Wu Xiong said with a smile.
"Yeah." Wu Yuan nodded.
A group of people rode horses and walked slowly on the official road into the city. The bustling pedestrians and merchants along the way saw the word "horizontal" hanging on their horses and couldn't help but get out of the way.
In the Hengyun Sect, members of the outer sect bear the character "Heng" and members of the headquarters bear the character "Yun".
It was not until the gate of the city that was more than ten meters high and nearly twenty meters wide that the gatekeeper stopped the team, carefully checked the identity badges, and politely let them go.
As soon as we enter the city!
More lively!
"It's so prosperous." Wu Yuan rode on his horse and glanced at both sides of the street. The stone streets paved with big stones were dozens of meters wide and clean and tidy.
Shops are lined up one after another, and the tall buildings are six or seven stories high. They are bustling with pedestrians and very lively.
Licheng is already quite prosperous, but compared with Nanmeng City, it is far behind, especially the pedestrians on the streets.
Wu Yuan glanced around and saw many powerful warriors.
There are even a few suspected masters who are much better than Li Cheng as warriors.
"The book is really not a lie." Wu Yuan sighed secretly: "It stands to reason that it is not difficult for a county to produce several first-class masters, but why is it so rare to see them on weekdays?"
The reason is very simple, most top-notch experts will not stay in the county!
There are few resources, little information, and no experts at the same level to communicate with each other.
Fucheng, as the essence of a city, has a large amount of resources gathered together. It seems to only have a population of one million, but it can often attract many top-notch experts from its subordinate counties to gather, and even top experts show up.
"When we get to the headquarters of Hengyun Sect, even the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty and those martial arts saint sects, the density of martial arts experts will only be higher!" Wu Yuan sighed secretly.
This is the aggregation effect of elites!
Nanmeng Martial Arts Academy was only ten miles away from the 'South Gate' they entered, but Wu Yuan, Gu Ji, Wu Xiong and others rode horses and spent a full quarter of an hour before arriving from a relatively remote street.
There are really too many people.
Of course, the insights he gained along the way further deepened Wu Yuan's understanding of the world of Middle-earth. Although the level of various buildings and businesses was not as good as the previous human federation, it seemed to be much better than the ancient Blue Star!
"It's been so long since I've been here that I haven't seen a scene where a rich man and a bad boy snatch a girl from the street." Wu Yuan said half-jokingly.
The streets are full of people.
With Wu Yuan's eyesight, he actually saw a lot of petty thefts, but more vicious incidents?
Not seen.
"Haha, the Chujiang Empire was indeed very chaotic." Wu Xiong said with a smile: "In my impression, when I was young, there were bandits who dared to kill people openly in the streets of the county, but the government was unable to control it."
"However, I am completely under the control of the Hengyun Sect. Although the countryside outside the city is still chaotic, at least in the cities above the county seat, ordinary knights do not dare to act recklessly."
"As for those descendants of powerful families? There are naturally many dirty deeds in private." Wu Xiong said: "But openly violating the clan rules and laws? They are seeking death!"
"Do you really think the Supervisory Hall is just a decoration?" Wu Xiong said solemnly.
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
In the past few days, through in-depth exchanges with Wu Xiong and the others, Wu Yuan has gained a deeper understanding of the Hengyun Sect. If Caigong Palace has the strongest financial resources and is in charge of the construction power of all parties, all parties are unwilling to offend.
The "Inspection Hall" that integrates inspection, trial, and prison collection is enough to make everyone in the Hengyun Sect change their expressions!
"Sir, look." Another guard suddenly said, pointing not far away.
Wu Yuan and the others couldn't help but look at him.
Nanmeng Wuyuan has arrived.
As one of the three high-level martial arts academies of Hengyun Sect, Nanmeng Martial Academy has nearly 10,000 disciples and covers a vast area, more than ten times that of the Licheng Martial Arts Academy.
The gate alone is very wide and majestic.
"Come on, dismount!" There were more than ten city guards at the entrance of the martial arts academy. The burly man leading them was wearing heavy armor. Judging from his imposing manner, he was at least a 'third-rate master'.
Wu Yuan, Wu Xiong, Gu Ji and others dismounted.
"This is the commander." Wu Xiong stepped forward directly and took out the oracle: "We are here under the order of the sect. Please inform us."
The commander opposite could also sense that the team in front of him was unusual. He quickly checked the handwriting and immediately smiled: "It turns out to be a colleague from Li City. Welcome to Nanmeng City. Who is Wu Yuan?"
"I am." Wu Yuan stepped forward.
"Well, I will arrange for someone to report it right now. The Wuyuan should be ready to receive you." The commander said.
Wu Yuan diandian.
They didn't have to wait long. Soon, a middle-aged woman in green robes led several middle-aged men in purple robes.
From a distance, it could be seen that many disciples were saluting them on the inner roads of the martial arts academy.
"That woman?" Wu Yuan's eyes moved slightly.
With his senses, he noticed that the woman in blue robe was extremely powerful.
"Wu Yuan, this is 'Xie Yu', a special teacher of the Wuyuan Academy, who is now the inspector of the Wuyuan Academy." The guard in charge respectfully introduced the visitor.
"Special teacher?" Wu Yuan looked surprised.
Unlike Junzong Wuyuan, if you want to serve as a formal teacher at Nanmeng Wuyuan, you generally need a second-rate master.
As for the special teacher?
At least he is a top-notch expert!
"I've met Senior Xie!" Wu Yuan saluted respectfully, and Wu Xiong and other guards also saluted, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
"Are you Wu Yuan?" Xie Yu's expression was rather indifferent, with no smile on his face.
"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded.
"Okay, to verify whether you have the ability to recruit special disciples, the dean must come in person. The dean is currently out on inspection, and it will probably take a few days to return. You can stay in the 'Glory Courtyard' first." Xie Yu said lightly: "Chen Qing
Teacher, you take Wu Yuan with you, and you will receive him in the next few days."
"Understood, Inspector." A middle-aged man responded.
immediately.
"Wu Yuan, come with me." The middle-aged man named 'Chen Qing' said casually, turned around and walked towards the depths of the martial arts academy.
Wu Yuan followed and entered the gate of Wuyuan.
Wu Xiong and others behind him were about to follow him in, but were directly blocked by two purple-robed teachers who followed Xie Yu.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but stop.
"Thank you, senior, we are Wu Yuan's personal bodyguards, and we are ordered by the sect to protect Wu Yuan's safety." Wu Xiong couldn't help but said.
"Order of the sect? A small centurion of the garrison, is he qualified to talk to me about the sect?" Xie Yu's voice was cold.
Wu Xiong and more than ten of them were suffocated.
"Nanmeng Wuyuan is an important place of the sect, and no cat or dog can enter it." Xie Yu said in a cold voice: "Wu Yuan has been living in Wuyuan these days, and Wuyuan will ensure his safety until his strength is verified.
When we are done, we will notify you to pick him up."
Now, even the dozen or so gate guards could feel Xie Yu's deliberate targeting.
Even if there are sect rules, why should the attitude be so arrogant?
And Xie Yu said it.
He turned around and left, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to Wu Xiong and the others.
Wu Xiong and the others looked at each other, feeling extremely aggrieved.
But he didn't dare to refute at all.
In terms of status, the inspector of a high-level martial arts academy is almost equivalent to the 'vice president', and even the county guard will bow his head when he sees him.
In terms of strength? The opponent is a first-rate master!
This scene made Wu Yuan frown slightly.
He asked himself that he had no grudges with this 'Xie Yu'. It stands to reason that when he came to Nanmeng Martial Academy, he didn't say welcome, so why should his attitude be so bad?
A first-rate master? Wu Yuan didn't care at all.
It's just that I can't show my strength right now.
At this moment, at the end of the lunch break, many martial arts disciples were coming in. At this moment, many people looked over. After all, Wu Yuan and his group were quite large.
"Inspector Xie is actually here? It seems he is picking up someone?"
"what's the situation?"
"have no idea!"
"Those people seem to be from the city guards of the small county below. Could it be that they have angered the inspector?" Many martial arts disciples discussed in low voices, watching the excitement.
suddenly.
"Thank you, Inspector, am I qualified to enter?" a gentle voice suddenly sounded.
The sound was not loud, but it shocked several ordinary teachers, many disciples, and even the guarding sergeants, who were looking for fame.
Does anyone dare to challenge Inspector Xie?
But Wu Xiong and the others couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on their faces.
"What qualifications do you have..." Xie Yu turned around with a cold look on his face. Just as he was about to scold him, he saw the token flashing in Gu Ji's palm.
Her pupils shrank.
The people around her didn't see it clearly, but she could clearly see the strength of a first-class master. In an instant, she understood the opponent's identity.
Don't wait for Xie Yu to speak again.
"We are ordered by the sect to protect Wu Yuan." Gu Ji smiled and said, "I wonder, Inspector Xie, do you think we are qualified to enter the martial arts academy?"
There was silence at the gate, and everyone looked at Xie Yu.
Xie Yu's face changed from gloomy to bright, and after a few breaths, he said coldly: "Commander Wu, let me go!"
Immediately, Xie Yu didn't want to stay anymore and strode away, leaving behind several teachers who looked at each other.
The guard leader was stunned, but his reaction was very quick, and a smile appeared on his face: "Everyone, please come in."
"Let's go." Gu Ji said calmly.
"Let's go into the Wuyuan." Wu Xiong and the others all smiled and walked into the Wuyuan with their chests held high, following Wu Yuan.
This scene left the martial arts disciples watching the excitement stunned.
The big devil in their hearts is ‘Inspector Xie’.
Will he bow his head and give in?
"Wu Yuan, please come this way." The male teacher named 'Chen Qing' was shocked and became more polite, even with a hint of compliment.
And the way he looked at Gu Ji was even more full of awe.
