Dashang's problems have gone far beyond what Xiang Que, Huang Zaozao and Nan Sijin imagined, and are more complicated than they thought when they came here.
The interior of Dashang Imperial City is complicated. The Yan royal family has the secrets of their immortal ancestors, and the Taixu Palace is behind it.
Xiang Que still has some knowledge about Taixu Palace. He had some involvement with them when he first came to Cave Heaven Paradise, but it was not very deep. This time he came back after reviving the corpse and encountered two encounters during the period, but
There isn't much of a connection anymore.
However, the other party is in the same camp as Huanghe River Valley, Tianzhou, and Sanqing Temple. Generally speaking, Qingshan and Qingshan are not in the same pot. They are not enemies, and it is absolutely impossible to become allies.
After discussing outside the city for a while, nothing has been decided yet. The rest can only be discussed after entering the city. However, Yan Ruyu must not go in first. Once she is discovered inside the city, they will have no advantage.
Therefore, when entering the imperial city, Wei Gong accompanied Xiang Que and Huang to go in early, while Nan Sijin and Yan Ruyu temporarily stayed outside the city to wait for opportunities.
When Huang Zaozao and Xiang Que followed Wei Gong towards the imperial city, Yan Ruyu suddenly sighed quietly and said, "It's really an advantage for her."
"Huh?" Nan Sijin looked at her puzzled.
"We have been fighting wits and courage to seduce that guy along the way. He is very smart. He neither favors anyone alone nor does he share the rain and dew. Well, now, he and the witch entered the city together without us.
With everyone watching eagerly from the side, Xiang Que belongs to her alone, you cunning guy..." Yan Ruyu said angrily.
Nan Sijin smoothed her hair indifferently and said arrogantly: "You can enjoy it however you like, as long as it doesn't ruin your life. Anyway, it's been agreed that I can make it big. Who wants to compete with you?"
Go"
Yan Ruyu suddenly looked confused: "..."
"You are mine alone, no one can compete with me anymore," Huang Zaozao said with a sly wink.
Xiang Que sighed, nodded and said, "Yeah, I don't have to worry anymore, I can finally have a good sleep."
Huang Zaozao squinted his eyes and said, "Have a good sleep? You are thinking too much."
Xiang Que: "..."
In front of the gate of the Imperial City of Dashang, when you look at it from a distance, you feel how big it is, but when you get closer, you can see that Dashang really deserves its reputation for being so big.
The city gate alone is about four or five stories high. You may not be able to easily blast open the thick city gate even with explosives.
The compacted soil on the city wall covers the blue bricks, with a thickness of about one and a half meters, and the height is more than ten meters higher than the city gate.
With this level of defense, if it were placed in ancient times, it would probably be difficult to break through.
On both sides of the city gate were fully armed sergeants, all standing straight and holding spears and swords and halberds in their hands, looking back and forth at the passers-by.
There are no procedures required to enter Dashang, but both individuals and caravans need to pay spiritual stones according to the amount. Xiang Que made a rough estimate. Just like the number of people entering the city now, if there are four or five people in a day,
If this is maintained for an hour, Dashang's income from this aspect alone in a year will already be considerable.
When we arrived at the city, we suddenly became enlightened. There was actually a fenced moat in front of us, which should have surrounded the entire imperial city. The river was very wide, but there was not a single merchant ship in sight. They were all military ships with the logo of Dashang.
Wei Gong introduced that this river is not allowed to enter the river.
The place where the boat entered was used as a precaution against large merchants. Opposite the moat was a wide square with a row of portrait sculptures on it. He actually saw the figure of Emperor Yan in it, and the surface of the statue was still there.
There is a faint purple air surrounding it.
This is a statue of the kings of the Great Shang dynasties.
There is a prosperous and prosperous scene in the city. It is more prosperous than any city Xiang Que has ever seen. If I have to describe it, it may be much better than Chang'an City in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays,
It must be the rhythm of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
The security measures in the city seemed to be very tight, with teams of city guards patrolling back and forth from time to time, scrutinizing the people passing by.
"The city guards and imperial guards are all members of the eldest prince," Wei Gong said.
"Isn't this equivalent to the fact that the most advanced military power of Dashang has been controlled by him?" Xiang Que asked in surprise.
"About half"
"Then what strength does our princess have? Don't tell me that apart from her brain and face, she has no power in her hands." Xiang Que began to worry vaguely whether Yan Ruyu was a polished commander, so they started to fight.
If so, it would be very difficult.
Wei Gong smiled and said: "Emperor Yan is a person who knows how to balance very well. He treats the ministers in the court as well as the prince's children. The eldest prince controls the imperial guards and city guards, while Her Royal Highness the Princess has something in her hands.
The town army has the largest number of people in Dashang. The other two princes also control a team each, but they are inferior to the eldest prince and princess. In the court, there are two chief assistants to support them respectively.
, one of them is the princess’s uncle…”
Xiang Que and Huang were relieved after hearing about the strength Yan Ruyu had in hand early. It was better than they expected, and the power was still quite huge.
"As for the masters, like those in the Dao Dao and Tribulation Stages, how many people can the eldest prince have in his hands?" Xiang Que asked with a frown.
"I don't know the exact number. They have been with the eldest prince all year round and are responsible for his safety. The two elders from Taixu Palace are both at the Great Dao stage. There are at least two strong men in the palace who have transcended the Tribulation stage." Wei Gong
said.
"You can't go to the princess's mansion for the time being. The eldest prince and the other two princes will be watching. I'll arrange another house for you, which is closer to the palace. That's the house I bought once. I only have one on weekdays.
As long as the gatekeeper is there, no one will notice..."
After a while, Duke Wei led them to a quiet house. It was really close to the palace. It was so close that it was only separated by a street and a courtyard wall. Even after Xiang Que and Huang came in early, they felt it clearly.
, the serious atmosphere in the palace.
At the same time, in the prince's residence in the palace, the eldest prince Yan Zhenming was receiving a visitor, who was the top-ranked one among the thirteen hall masters of Taixu Hall.
"Palace Master Liang, what message did the higher-ups ask you to send me?" the eldest prince asked softly.
"There is only one idea. We must take control of Dashang Imperial City in the shortest possible time. In other words... you must ascend the throne immediately."
