Ziwei City is known as the last city on the border of Chu State.
In the city, there are two most powerful groups, one is the border army guarding the border of Chu State, and the other is the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce.
But if we say... who is in charge of Ziwei City, it is the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce that has the final say.
Even the border troops have to be polite to the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce.
Many people have questions, doesn't the Chu State respect the imperial power? The status of the army there should be higher than that of the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce?
Why do the border troops want to be polite to the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce?
There are many stakes in this. For example, the magic weapons and panaceas sold by the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce to the border troops are sold at a loss.
The biggest relationship among them is... there is the shadow of the royal family behind the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce.
Three hours later, the moon reached its zenith.
The bright moonlight filled the Gobi desert. In an oasis, an ancient city lay on the ground like a giant beast.
The spirit boat entered this oasis, and Lin Bai stood on the railing, looking at the bustling ancient city and village below the spirit boat, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
More than ten days have passed since we set off from the territory of Qitian Sect and arrived at the border of Chu State.
After waiting on the spirit boat for a long time, Lin Bai was extremely restless and couldn't wait to get off the boat and move around.
The spirit boat entered Ziwei City and landed on a platform in the east of the city.
Outside the platform, there was a group of men in uniforms, coldly watching the spirit boat descend from the sky.
"Sir, the spirit boat has arrived."
There were about twenty people in this group, hiding in the darkness.
Their cultivation is all warriors in the Taoist realm.
It is worth mentioning that...the uniforms they wore were black with gold patterns and embroidered with two crossed swords.
There was a long knife hanging on his waist.
This group of people hid in the dark and made no sound. They watched the warriors coming off the spirit boat one after another. Their eyes were like eagles scanning the crowd, as if they were looking for something.
Until Lin Bai and Chen You stepped off the spirit boat together, the group of people had not left yet.
…
Under the spirit boat, Lin Bai and Chen You walked down side by side.
"Hey." Chen You stood on the ground, opened his arms, and stretched out comfortably: "We have arrived at Ziwei City. Brother Lin, what are your plans? Do you want to go to Goulan for a drink together?"
Goulan generally refers to a place for listening to music and watching dance, but it also means clearing a building.
Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Forget it, I have something else to do."
"Well, I won't make things difficult for you." Chen You said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Lin, when you arrive at Ziwei City, you must go to the city lord's mansion to register as soon as possible, handle the customs clearance documents, and get the pass from Chu State.
Token, only in this way can we travel unimpeded within the territory of Chu State."
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for reminding me."
"In that case, let's say goodbye. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again in the world."
Lin Bai and Chen You parted ways, walked onto the street and disappeared into the endless flow of people.
Lin Bai immediately found the city lord's mansion in Ziwei City, got the pass, and then wandered around Ziwei City.
It is now midnight, but the lights in Ziwei City are still brightly lit.
Especially in Nancheng, it is very lively.
Lin Bai walked swiftly and swiftly around Ziwei City, looking at the buildings in the streets and alleys, and at the clothes in Ziwei City.
Ziwei City is similar to other cities in the demon world. There are countless shops selling magical weapons and elixirs in the street market, which are the most profitable.
Even at midnight, these shops are deserted.
In addition, clothing stores have the most shops in the market.
In the Chu State, there are people who make a living by refining robes.
The robes of Chu State are quite famous throughout the Eastern Region of Demon Realm.
Not only is it beautiful, but it also has excellent defensive capabilities.
In addition to these shops, Lin Bai also saw something that did not exist in other cities.
Official office.
Lin Bai stood in front of the government office and looked at it for a long time. The government office was built with great style.
He is in charge of all the affairs and defense of Ziwei City.
Murder is strictly prohibited in Ziwei City, and violators will be severely punished.
"A place with excellent public security will be more likely to generate major trade."
"It seems that the foundation of Chu State's governance is based on trade."
Lin Bai glanced at it and seemed to understand Chu's strategy for governing the country.
Chu State occupies a vast area and is rich in products.
The Chu State also opened up the major cities and trade routes flawlessly, and dispatched special security forces for the trade of the chamber of commerce.
As a result, the probability of the trade of major chambers of commerce being robbed within Chu State is extremely low.
Once public security improves, more and more people will naturally want to do business in Chu State.
All kinds of robes, miraculous elixirs, magical weapons, magical irons, magical passages, etc. can also be digested by Chu State.
Under the long-term peace and stability, the royal family of Chu State has become more and more profound.
Over time, the Chu royal family will continue to cultivate outstanding descendants, and they will always dominate the Eastern Region of the Demon World as one of the most powerful forces.
And the cornerstone of all these prosperous times... is the iron wrist of Chu State, the iron law that Chu State cannot offend.
The iron law of Chu is the foundation of all this.
Lin Bai came to the ferry in Ziwei City and boarded a small boat.
Take a boat ride to enjoy the scenery. The boat gradually leaves the North City along the river and enters the bustling South City.
The buildings and pavilions on both sides of the river were covered with colorful silks and feasts, and the laughter and scent of rouge of many women reverberated throughout Nancheng.
Obviously, this is what Chen You wants to come to the most...goulanqinglou.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Lin Bai smiled and looked at the clothes of the women and men on both sides.
Wandering in the bustling south of Ziwei City, Lin Bai gradually felt that Chu State seemed to have deep knowledge in the entertainment industry.
It is no exaggeration to say...the entire Nancheng is a huge Fengyue City.
Goulan, gambling houses, listening to music, watching plays, fighting animals, martial arts competitions... and many other things are all available in Nancheng.
"The Golden Cave."
Lin Bai clicked his tongue in surprise and weighed the purple gold and silver in the storage bag. Lin Bai smiled bitterly, shook his head, and ordered the boatman to leave Nancheng.
Just when the boatman turned around and was about to leave, a seven-story boat suddenly appeared in front of him, which caught Lin Bai's attention.
On the seven-story boat, there is a signboard of "Cai Die Xuan", and all kinds of beautiful women are leaning on the rails on both sides.
Just at this time, a young man with a smile on his face happily walked onto the boat with the support of two young women.
"Chen You...this kid..."
Lin Bai glanced at it and saw that the young master was Chen You who had come to Ziwei City with him.
Lin Bai shook his head and said to the boatman: "Boatman, send me to the teleportation array in Ziwei City."
Lin Bai did not intend to stay in Ziwei City any longer, and wanted to leave Ziwei City as soon as possible to find the location of Purple Star City.
"Okay."
The boatman responded, activated his spiritual power, and the boat moved forward slowly.
After about a few minutes, we came to the side of the seven-story ship.
The boat was next to the seven-story ship, just like an ant, instantly submerged in the huge shadow of the ship.
However, at this moment, there was a loud noise on the boat.
A figure broke out of the boat on the seventh floor and fell into the water in a state of disgrace. The blood flowing from his body dyed the water red.
Not long after, a head emerged from the water, and it was... Chen You.
