From Nanluo Territory to Yunmen City, even riding a fast horse, it took more than 20 days to arrive. Xia Yu couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded, Yunmen Prefecture is only a small and remote state in Xuantian Continent.
It's so vast. How big are those so-called big states? The book says that some big forces train spiritual birds as means of transportation, and some big cities have teleportation circles built between them. When can I see these things?
?
Just as he was thinking about it, the team suddenly stopped. Xia Yu looked up and saw that Yunmen City had already arrived. I heard that because the city lord was ill recently, in order to prevent trouble, the city gates were closed at night and everyone arrived too early.
Yes, the city gate has not opened yet, so we need to wait outside the city for a while.
Xia Yu got off his horse and looked at Yunmen City from a distance. The appearance of this city looked similar to that of Bengshan City and West Water City, but it was much larger. There were also two flags hanging on the top of the city. The larger flag was above
It has the character "Xia", and the smaller one has the character "Zhuo" written on it. I think the lord of this Yunmen City is named Zhuo.
But Xia Yu noticed one detail. Xia Yu had been to the three cities in the Nanluo territory, Bengshan City, Xishui City and Shoufeng City. Each city had two flags on the city head, and the big one was the word "Xia".
Flag, the smaller one is the flag of the city lord’s palace,
What is written on it is the surname of the city lord. However, the small flags of the city lords' mansions in those three cities are all hung under the flag with the word "Xia". However, on the city head of Yunmen City, the position of the flag with the word "Zhuo" is also lower than that of "Xia".
The flag with the word "Xia" is lower, but it is only half the height of the flag.
The difference in height is not big. It is probably not easy for ordinary people to see it. It’s just that because Xia Yu has experienced a lot and can notice many details that ordinary people can’t notice, he discovered this. He didn’t take it to heart, but was just slightly confused.
, is it because Yunmen City is the seat of the state capital, so the flag should be hung like this?
This thought just passed by for a moment, but Qiao Xiaopang suddenly asked: "Miss Xue, when did the flag of Yunmen City start to hang like this?"
"Flag?" Xue Caiyi was stunned, looked up at the city, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Isn't it always like this?"
Following Qiao Xiaopang was a guy named Niu Liqin from the Southwest Chamber of Commerce. He was working as a second-year employee at home, so others called him "Niu Er". He was always running errands for everyone along the way. Along with Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang, they had already
He was very familiar with it. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Mr. Qiao, what's wrong with this flag? Isn't it also hung like this in Xishui City?"
Qiao Xiaopang shook his head, "The height of Xiaoqi is wrong..."
high?
Everyone looked at the city head again. Niu Er still didn't understand why, but Xue Caiyi suddenly realized, "Oh, I can see it! It seems that on the city head of Xishui City, the flag of the City Lord's Mansion is hung low. The flag of the City Lord's Mansion here is higher.
A little higher... Mr. Qiao, how can you even see this? I have been coming to Yunmen City for so many years and I have never noticed it!"
Zhou Shu also came over, and after hearing Fatty Qiao's question, he also interrupted: "Mr. Qiao, after hearing what you said, I also remembered it. I have been to many places over the years, and I seem to have some impressions... some
This is how the city’s flags are hung, and I’ve seen two flags hung at the same height! Is there anything special about this?”
Niu Er asked stupidly: "What else is there about this? Isn't it caused by not paying attention when hanging the flag? This man, when he tied the rope, his hands were a little loose, and when he hung it out, he was a little lower.
If it is tighter, it will be higher when it hangs out. Is there any wonder in this?"
Qiao Xiaopang couldn't help but laugh, "Do you think it's your family who pulls the rope to dry the clothes? Are you still holding it tight? Let me tell you, there are a lot of things in the high and low position of the flag... This is testing... this
City Lord Zhuo, I’m afraid he wants to be independent…”
"Keep your voice down!" Zhou Shu quickly interrupted him. He looked around nervously and saw that he was surrounded by his own people. He felt relieved and complained in a low voice, "Mr. Qiao, don't say this nonsense. We
I'm just a businessman, don't get into trouble by talking about this kind of thing..."
"What's the point? I can't tell you what he did?" Qiao Xiaopang smiled nonchalantly, "Your Southwest Chamber of Commerce doesn't just do business, right? The stall can be so big, compared to these forces.
There is no connection at all, I don’t believe it for the first time!”
Seeing Zhou Shu's nervous look, Fatty Qiao smiled again, "Okay, okay... I won't say anything, okay?"
"Uncle Zhou, aren't there any outsiders here? Anyway, it's still a while before we enter the city. What does it matter if we just say a few words here?" Niu Er is a good young man with a strong thirst for knowledge. He chased Qiao Xiaopang and asked
He said, "Mr. Qiao, are you telling the truth? Is that... self-reliance? Will there be a war?"
"Do you want to fight?" Qiao Xiaopang asked.
"Uh..." Niu Er scratched his head, "No, people will die in the war!"
"Why don't you want to? I just think it would be good to fight!" Another bodyguard from the Southwest Chamber of Commerce came over, "If there really is a war, I will join the army! I will earn some military glory and be popular and drink spicy food for the rest of my life!"
"What a fart!" Zhou Shu couldn't help but cursed, "With your strength, you go to the battlefield and you don't know if you will come back alive!"
The bodyguard's name was Gao Guyu. He was tall and strong. Hearing this, he said a little unconvinced: "Although I am only a Huang rank, I still have some cultivation. Aren't there many soldiers who have no cultivation at all?"
"What do you know?" Zhou Shu scolded, "You want to join the army before your hair has grown? Do you know how cruel the battlefield is? Not to mention Huang Jie, even a Xuan Jie like me will die at will. I want to
I can’t even run away!”
"Uncle Zhou, haven't you been in a war for many years? Have you ever seen what a battlefield looks like?"
Zhou Shu shook his head, "I haven't seen it either, but the last time I went to Xiangxi Prefecture in the north to collect goods, I heard the old man there said... There was a jackal monster there hundreds of years ago and brought many monsters to cause trouble.
Is it something? I heard from the old people there that at that time more than a dozen cities in Xiangxi Prefecture were slaughtered by monsters, and later they were still attached
Recently, several states formed an army to eliminate them. The jackal monster had heaven-level strength, and he also had many powerful monsters under his command. The battlefield was really miserable, with hundreds of thousands of people not even a bone.
They’re all gone…I heard that the royal capital also sent people later, and that jackal monster was finally killed by the people from the royal capital!”
Everyone had never heard of this. They imagined the scene of the battle between heaven-level masters and couldn't help but take a breath of air. Niu Er murmured: "If we really have to fight, I want to join the king's army. That is the way of benevolence and righteousness."
