Chapter 417 Peonies bloom, causing trouble and murder
There are only twelve capital cities and important business centers in the world.
Among the human realms, apart from the Holy City of Chaoge, the twelve capitals are the most important. Even though it is the last capital, it is also one of the most powerful forces in the world.
Tie Tang really did not expect that the cult would dare to penetrate deep into the capital, especially Jiangdu City.
Qingshui County...is under the jurisdiction of Jiangdu Prefecture!
After twists and turns, I finally returned to my hometown.
"What are these people doing in Jiangdu City with two hostages? Could it be that they have great power in Jiangdu City?"
Tie Tang stepped out of the teleportation array, and the colorful light disappeared, arriving at this familiar city.
The more familiar the area, the more cautious he became. He did not show off his identity in a big way. Instead, he pretended to be an ordinary businessman, followed the crowd with a bamboo hat, passed the inspection, and left Fenglei Mansion.
On the way out of the house.
Tietang's muscles and bones contracted, Qi was stored in the Dantian, blood entered the great orifices, bone marrow traced back to the bone cavity, and the essence and energy turned into a golden elixir hidden deep in the purple palace between the eyebrows. The whole person's muscles became loose, and his eyebrows were no longer sharp.
Color, become friendly and peaceful.
"With my current method of concentrating my Qi and hiding my breath, even if the gods are in front of me, it is impossible to see through my cultivation strength. I must not reveal my identity during this trip to see if I can catch a few moths."
According to Hong Mingxu, Hufa Xu and the other four will take Pang Niu and Brother Dan to Jiangdu City, but Hong Mingxu doesn’t know where exactly they are in Jiangdu City.
However.
But he also provided an additional clue.
He had followed Protector Xu to Jiangdu City once before and had a place to stay in the city.
If there are no accidents this time...
Protector Xu and others should still stay in the same place.
Jiangdu City is extremely vast, stretching tens of thousands of miles from north to south, covering an area of several billion acres. Its vast territory makes it more appropriate to call it a country than a city.
A Yanxia Cave spans three thousand miles, which is much larger than Qingshui City. The area occupied by Jiangdu City is as large as three or four Yanxia Caves, which shows how vast its territory is.
Although Tie Tang has been to Jiangdu City several times, he always came in a hurry and went straight to the government office and other places. His understanding of Jiangdu City was extremely limited.
At this time, he was pretending to be a businessman, wearing light green brocade clothes, with dust hanging from the corners of his eyebrows, looking dusty, walking on the streets of the busy city, completely blending into the crowd.
"Sir, where are you going?" At this time, a man came with a four-wheeled carriage. Perhaps seeing that Tie Tang had some assets, he asked if he wanted a ride.
Tie Tang took a quick look and saw that the carriage was tied to two horses and was covered with a layer of brocade curtains. Even though it was driving in a busy city, it was not stained by ashes.
That horse is not an ordinary horse, but a dragon horse with double horns on its head and covered with scattered dragon scales. Because there is a dragon in the body, the blood of the dragon is mixed, and the surface of the body is as clear as crystal, and you can see the thick blood vessels and tightness inside.
Powerful tendons.
Jiangdu City is so big, it's not a problem for Wu Jin, but some people who are weaker or even have no cultivation skills want to walk from the south of the city to the north. I don't know how long it will take.
Therefore, some special means of transportation will naturally be derived to meet the daily travel needs of the people and merchants.
There are many kinds of tools, and horse-drawn carriages are by no means the only ones.
Just as Tie Tang stood there and thought for a moment, many coachmen came to him carrying various tools and asked.
Some of these tools are horse sedans, with cane chairs inside, colorful tents, and necklaces, which are extremely luxurious. There are also bed carts, which are extremely spacious, with exquisite beds inside, and maids pouring tea, playing piano and dancing. However, these are relatively low-level travel tools. The more powerful ones include building boats, flat boats, jade lotus and other witch soldiers.
Tie Tang even saw some people using Taoist talismans. They only need to stick two yellow talismans on each foot, and then the magician can lead them in the procession. It is also very fast and convenient.
Amidst the commotion, Tie Tang still chose the carriage from the beginning.
After getting on the bus, the strong man driving the bus asked casually.
"Where are you going, sir?"
"I haven't been to Jiangdu City yet, you just have to walk around."
"Okay, just sit down and start walking~"
The coachman raised his riding whip high, but was reluctant to bring it down hard. He only pretended to hit the dragon horse lightly.
These two dragon-dragon horses are also spiritual and have known their masters for a long time. They immediately started running with their fiery red hooves.
The speed of the carriage is not very fast, and the scenery along the way is panoramic.
It’s not like the coachman has never seen guests like Tie Tang. Such guests are often the most generous, so he naturally has to entertain them well.
This is Tie Tang’s first time visiting Jiangdu City. Compared to the holy capital of Chaoge, Jiangdu City is actually more suitable for ordinary people’s life.
Although Chaoge is extremely advantageous and is considered the first-class safe place in the world, it is also because there are too many overlords and the majesty is too heavy.
Ordinary people, and even witches and wizards below the level of immortals and gods, are as naked as in the Holy City, and it is impossible to hide any secrets.
Those human overlords with extraordinary strength can know what you are doing and thinking at a glance, and they can even trace back what has happened in the past.
This feeling... to be honest, it's not a good feeling.
Even though Tie Tang had been to the Holy Capital Chaoge, he didn't really like the atmosphere.
He prefers Longyuan City, Jiuyao City before the disaster, and even Jiangdu City, places that are safe enough but don't have many immortal overlords.
There are many beautiful buildings and jade buildings on both sides of the street. Many restaurants and inns are beautifully built, and they are obviously not made by ordinary people.
Especially some of the mansions of aristocratic families, there are countless tall buildings of a hundred feet, and some of the mansions of aristocratic families even tower into the clouds, coexisting with goshawks, white cranes, clouds, and strong winds.
In comparison.
The road Qingshui City needs to take is still very far away, and it cannot be caught up in a short time.
As for those people who have no cultivation, they walk on the streets with their heads high and their chests held high. When they see police officers, government officials and other government officials, they don't show the slightest flattery. They are full of energy, have rosy faces, and have steady steps.
This is one’s own quality from the inside out after having enough food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is not a disguise.
Having enough to eat, being well clothed, having enough food and clothing, having enough food at home, and having money in hand will naturally improve one's spiritual pursuits.
After the body and spirit are rich, one's own quality will unconsciously improve, and the state of mind will also rise. You will be sensible, know how to advance and retreat, be humble, gentle and polite, which is the image of most local people.
"It seems that the master of the palace... still has a few brushes on my head."
Tie Tang toured for an hour and a half, gained a small understanding of the situation in Jiangdu City, and then revealed his true purpose.
"I heard that there is a flower market and lantern riddle feast in the north of Jiangdu City. Could you please take a walk in that direction?"
The driver didn't dare to say anything after hearing this, but then he said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that our distinguished guests have come. Although there is a flower market in the north of the city, it doesn't open every day. Today coincides with the five-color peonies in bloom, and the flower market is busy.
Even if you don’t tell me, I just want to take you there.”
"That's good. I've heard about the beautiful peonies for a long time, so I went to take a look today. It's worthy of my trip."
"Wait a moment, distinguished guest, I'll be on my way~ Little Ma, let's work harder."
As the driver's voice fell, the two crystal-like dragon horses suddenly raised their forelimbs.
Chichi! Chichi!
After two violent horse cries, the dragon-dragon horse roared red and raised clouds. It looked like it was still flying across the ground, but in fact it was already two inches away from the ground. It was flying on the clouds.
Probably less than half a stick of incense.
The carriage has arrived at a busy city in the north of Jiangdu City. Here there are huge crowds of people. People and cars are walking in separate directions. The avenue is as wide as the blue sky, the buildings on both sides are as towering as mountains, and the fragrance of flowers of all colors is coming.
"Sir, do you want to get out of the car and wait and see, or..."
Tie Tang threw over a few taels of gold: "It's okay, just wait a minute."
"Okay, you can just enjoy the flowers in peace."
The driver is very skilled and has a close connection with the two dragon horses. Even if there is a lot of traffic ahead, he can still control his carriage to shuttle smoothly through it.
Tie Tang saw all kinds of flowers outside through the two-foot-sized window of the carriage.
The hydrangeas are in beautiful clusters, like grass hydrangeas and purple hydrangeas, and are as bright purple as the purple sun; the chrysanthemums are as red as fire, rising step by step, growing on opposite leaves; the morning glories are as short as trumpets, stretching one piece, hitting the feathers and facing the face, from
There is a unique scenery.
There are also magnolia, winter jasmine, eight-hand tree, white clover, fish bone firewood, yellow orchid, coleus, lily bamboo, beautiful dendrobium and other exotic flowers and auspicious herbs, which are fragrant and pleasing to the eye.
Tie Tang nodded frequently in admiration. For the first time in this world, he felt touched by something other than the witchcraft.
However, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they still cannot match the theme of today’s flower market.
At the front, there is a green and white jade tower with brilliantly blooming peonies placed from top to bottom.
Looking at the peonies, they are gorgeous but not vulgar, like a noble young woman.
Look at the peonies, they are graceful and graceful, with smiling faces, like green young girls.
Look at the peonies, swaying in the wind, a flash of red among thousands of flowers, as delicate and beautiful as the sun, cold and beautiful.
These peonies are surrounded by numerous flowers, just like the cold smile on the lips of the most beautiful woman in the world, so bright that people cannot take their eyes away.
Seeing such a grand scene, Tie Tang couldn't help but sigh: "Only peonies are the true national beauty, and they move Jiangdu when they bloom."
He just sighed softly while sitting in the carriage, and there was a lot of noise everywhere. He didn't want to be heard by a carriage traveling with him.
A sarcastic message came from inside: "The poor and rotten scholars do not know the treasures of flowers, but they regard peonies as the most respected ones. This is simply ridiculous. Country people have never seen the world."
Hearing this, Tie Tang just smiled and didn't take it seriously, but the coachman whispered something in his ear.
"The distinguished guest recited two beautiful lines that would shine even at a banquet. How come it changes the taste in your mouth? Who is the sour person?"
Although the coachman is good at pulling carts, he is not a rough man. His family has enough food and clothing, and he can raise two dragon horses, so he obviously has some skills.
How could his conversation be hidden from the ears of the man on the other carriage?
"How dare you, a little coachman, speak rudely to me? Palm!" The person in the car ordered, but he didn't do anything himself, but the coachman driving for him didn't even think about it, he just raised his riding crop and whipped me hard.
.
Crack~
The riding crop was like a poisonous snake, making bursts of explosive noises. If it was whipped hard this time, the driver in Tietang's car might lose all his teeth.
But just when the whip was about to fall on the coachman's face, it suddenly tilted and hit the frame of the carriage with a snap, but did not hit the coachman.
Tie Tang whispered: "Let's go, don't worry about others."
The coachman broke out in a cold sweat, nodded repeatedly, and urged the dragon horse to leave this place.
But when they wanted to leave, they found that they couldn't leave.
A handsome young man suddenly jumped out of the carriage next to him. He jumped in the air and stepped on the heads of two dragon horses.
Boom!
There was just an explosion, and the skulls of the two dragon horses were cracked, and blood flowed from their eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and they fell weakly to one side.
"You have offended me and still want to leave? First kill two of your horses, and then give you, a ungrateful groom, a slap in the face. Only then will you know what can and cannot be said."
"Little horse, my little horse~" the coachman burst into tears in a hurry. The eight-foot-strong man burst into tears and jumped out of the carriage to caress the two dragon horses lovingly.
This move was so fast and urgent that Tie Tang never expected that this person would be so lawless and dare to kill him when he came up.
"Who are you? You dare to commit murder in broad daylight. Could it be that Jiangdu City is a lawless place?"
Tie Tang got out of the carriage, walked to the coachman and squatted down, placing both hands on the head of a dragon horse, carefully checking the injury.
"I don't change my name in business or my surname in office, just like Wu Yongzhi. I just killed two beasts. At the worst, I have to pay some gold and silver. Can the government arrest me and put me in jail?"
Wu Yongzhi laughed loudly and threw down a few large gold nuggets without even looking at Tie Tang and his wife.

The noise here has attracted the attention of nearby people, and soon someone called the patrol police, and there were violent footsteps in the distance.
The coachman cried hoarsely. To him, these two dragons and horses were no different from his relatives. How could they be replaced by randomly sending some money?
But he had no choice. He knew that what Wu Yongzhi said was true. Even if this matter was brought to the government, the most it would be is to pay money and settle it privately, which would not even be considered a case.
After all, the lives of the two horses... have not yet been protected by Dashang Law.
Tie Tang didn't want to cause a fuss, but when it came to him, there was no reason to back down.
And this Wu family... Hong Mingxu happened to have mentioned it before.
He stood up and flicked his fingers twice, but there was no movement in the void.
Wu Yongzhi was about to laugh when he saw this, but suddenly found that he had no control over his legs.
My knees softened and I knelt down with a thud.
"You...what did you do to me? Let me get up quickly, let me get up quickly!!!" Wu Yongzhi's face suddenly changed, looking frightened and extremely anxious.
Tie Tang folded his hands on his chest and said with a smile: "I can't see that you still have a conscience and know the principle of correcting mistakes immediately. Since you are already on your knees, why not kowtow a few times to express your apology?"
"No...no no no..."
Wu Yongzhi exerted all his strength, his face turned red, and he wanted to resist.
But with his strength, how can he resist Tie Tang's magical power?
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
……
Wu Yongzhi knelt down and kowtowed nine times in a row, making a loud banging sound, so that the bluestone floor was stained with blood.
"Le, isn't this the young master of the Wu family? Does he still have this ability?"
"Hey, let's see who it is. It turns out to be Brother Wu. Where's the usual energy?"
"Tsk tsk, the Wu family has a good family tradition. I am ashamed to be able to raise such children who can "know their mistakes and correct them"."
"It turns out that even crabs that are running rampant sometimes hit the pillars. Let's see another good show today."
……
After kowtowing, Wu Yongzhi raised his head sluggishly, unable to believe what just happened.
What did he do?
Kneel down and kowtow to the two beasts and the lowly groom?
This caused Wu Yongzhi's heart to be shaken, and his self-proclaimed dignity was completely wiped out. The eyes of the people around him were focused on him like a thousand cuts and a thousand pots.
Those gossips are like demonic voices from the underworld, which are unbearable.
Thumb thump thump...
A line of policemen arrived and looked around, but they didn't understand the situation.
"What's going on here?"
The coachman sat blankly between the two dragon horses, looking at Wu Yongzhi who was still kneeling on the ground in front of him, and was a little unresponsive.
After a while.
Wu Yongzhi's eyes were red and bloody, veins popped out on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and glared at Tie Tang.
"Ah ah ah ~ I must kill you, I must kill you, no matter who you are, you will definitely die in my hands.
I want your life to be worse than death, life is worse than death!!!"
