Liu Ming took the purple jade plaque as he was told, and saw that there was nothing else on it, only some special runes.
Hanging the jade medal on his waist, the guard commander's voice sounded again, speaking equally fast:
"By the way, during the tribute ceremony, comprehensive martial law will be implemented in the imperial city. Anyone is strictly prohibited from fighting or causing trouble. Violators will be immediately arrested and sent to Tianjue Prison. In addition, here are some precautions in the city. Take a good look at it, Emperor
Don't mess with Tsunade in this important city."
With that said, the man took out another green jade slip and handed it to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and took the jade slip. After thanking him, he led Qingyu and others straight into the Central Imperial City.
Passing through the area at the city gate, what is in front of everyone is an extremely wide street, which seems to lead to all directions. Naturally, there are shops and buildings on both sides of the street.
The buildings in the city are mainly in dark colors, giving them a deep and atmospheric feel. Other than that, they are not much different from ordinary cities.
Liu Ming did not stay here longer, and flew directly towards the second city wall that was vaguely visible in the distance with Qing Yu and others.
Their residence is in the second city area that should be behind the city wall.
Qingyu and others' eyes lingered on the surrounding bustling streets, and they seemed to be quite interested in going sightseeing, but because Liu Ming was here, they did not dare to make any mistakes.
"There are still two or three days before the tribute ceremony. Let's go to the Zhenxin Garden to stay first. Then you will have plenty of time to walk around the city." Liu Ming seemed to have read everyone's thoughts and said intentionally or unintentionally.
.
"Thank you so much, Master." Qingyu and others expressed their gratitude with joy on their faces.
The Central Imperial City is known as the number one city in the Ten Thousand Demons Continent. The largest trading houses and auction houses on the continent are all located here. Naturally, it is not comparable to cities in Zangzhou and other places.
Not to mention Qingyu and others, Liu Ming himself planned to take a tour of the central imperial city after arranging his accommodation.
Liu Ming thought like this, then turned over his hand and took out the green jade slip. His consciousness penetrated into it and his eyes slightly raised.
Among the jade slips, in addition to recording some precautions at the beginning, there is also a detailed map attached at the end. It is the map of the Central Imperial City, on which the main streets and place names in the imperial city are marked.
Clearly.
Liu Ming took a few glances and quickly found the location of Zhenxin Garden.
"It's a thorough thought." He was a little happy in his heart. With this map, it would be much easier to move around in this huge imperial city.
From the outermost city wall to the second city wall, it was almost two to three hundred miles. Along the main road in the city, the three of them soon arrived under the second city wall.
The city wall here is the same as before, and there are also imperial guards responsible for guarding it. The gate entering the city is dozens of feet high, and the avenue in front is lined with people waiting to enter.
Next to the city gate, there is another gate of about the same size, which is the gate leading out of the city. Although there are guards, there is only a quick glance at people leaving the city, and there is no interrogation.
The number of people queuing up here is much smaller than at the first city wall. Most of them are in groups, with more than a hundred people at most and dozens of people at less.
On the contrary, there were only a dozen or so members of the Qing family, which was quite conspicuous.
Liu Ming didn't care and lined up at the back of the team with Qingyu and others.
In front of the Qing family was a team wearing red robes. Liu Ming glanced at them and his expression changed slightly.
As the saying goes, the road between enemies is narrow, and the people at the front of the queue were none other than the Di family.
The number of people on this tribute trip of the Di family was much larger than that of the Qing family, with a total of seventy or eighty people. The leaders were Di You and the young woman in red robe who was knocked down by Liu Ming's blow.
The people of the Di family soon discovered Liu Ming and his party, and their expressions changed.
A trace of deep fear flashed in the eyes of Di You and the young woman in red robe, and their expressions were a little unnatural. However, this was in the Central Imperial City and private fighting was strictly prohibited, so they were not afraid of Liu Ming's action.
"Master, this..." Qingyu walked to Liu Ming's side and said softly.
"Don't pay attention to them." Liu Ming said lightly.
Qingyu agreed, looked at everyone in the Di family contemptuously, and ignored them.
Liu Ming closed his eyes and rested his mind. He had no interest in the current Di family at all, not even the interest to teach them a lesson.
The team entered the city very quickly. A quarter of an hour later, the Di family also completed the formalities for entering the city, hurriedly walked into the city gate, and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Liu Ming walked over calmly, took out the family tokens and the jade plaque from the first city wall.
After a while, the group completed the formalities for entering the city, passed through the city gate, and arrived at the second city area.
The main procedure for entering the city was to equip each Qing family disciple with a black ring, but Liu Ming's ring was blood-colored.
These rings are temporary passes, and their main function is to be able to walk freely in certain specific areas in the Central Imperial City temporarily.
Liu Ming turned the ring on his hand and showed a faint smile on his face.
He learned from the jade slip that in the Central Imperial City, starting from the Second City District, many places had status restrictions, and ordinary people and aristocratic families were not allowed to enter.
But with that black ring, most places in the Second City can be accessed without hindrance.
However, the third city area is the Demon Palace, and the black rings of Qingyu and others cannot enter. Only blood-colored rings like Liu Ming can enter.
Compared with the first city, the buildings in the second city are much taller, and the environment is quieter. The buildings and shops on both sides of the street look much more high-end, but the flow of people is relatively less.
Liu Ming looked at several material shops from outside. Most of the things inside were more precious than those outside.
The eyes of everyone in the Qing family were firmly attracted by the surrounding shops, and they followed Liu Ming reluctantly.
Qingyu coughed heavily when he saw the expressions of the Qing family disciples around him.
Those disciples who were a little obsessed suddenly woke up and followed Liu Ming intently.
Liu Ming noticed this scene and secretly nodded to Qingyu.
"Let's go, let's go to Zhenxin Garden first." He moved and flew away in one direction. Qingyu and others hurriedly followed.
The Central Imperial City may have no air restrictions because of its large area, but only low-altitude flights are allowed. Otherwise, traveling here would be troublesome.
Half an hour later, the group came to a quiet manor building. There was a plaque hanging on the door of the building with the three characters "Zhenxin Garden" written on it.
This place is already a remote place in the Second City. It should be a place allocated to some small and medium-sized aristocratic families. However, it is still crowded with people. The people coming and going are wearing various clothes, and they are obviously members of aristocratic families from all over the place.
Liu Ming sighed in his heart. Because of the Demon Emperor's tribute ceremony, the number of people from aristocratic families from all over the Central Imperial City gathered in the Central Imperial City was probably no less than hundreds of thousands. Fortunately, it was such a majestic city as the Central Imperial City, otherwise it might not be able to accommodate them.
A group of people from the Qing family walked into Zhenxin Garden, and immediately a middle-aged man who looked like a manager came over.
"Fellow Taoists, it's a pleasure to meet you all from afar! I wonder if I can have a look at your check-in jade charms and family tokens." The middle-aged steward saluted Liu Ming and said in a rather respectful tone.
Liu Ming glanced at the middle-aged steward. This man's cultivation was not at the level of true elixir, but he looked quite stable.
He turned over his hand and took out the jade talisman and the Qing family's head token, and handed them to the middle-aged steward.
The middle-aged steward waved his hand and issued a spell, and a little light immediately lit up on the jade talisman.
"Yes, you all live here." The middle-aged manager chuckled, and then he took out a white jade pen and crossed it on the Qing family's head token.
Some information about the Qing family and the name of the family leader Liu Ming immediately appeared on Yugui.
"It turns out to be the head of the Liu family, Liu Ming. Seeing that there are not many of you, he must have lived in the courtyard of No. 29 West." The middle-aged steward had a modest smile on his face. He was obviously a well-rounded person and showed no arrogance at all.
While the middle-aged steward was talking, he led Liu Ming and continued walking towards the Zhenxin Garden.
Zhenxinyuan looks like a large inn specially used to receive guests. It is quite similar to the Cuizhu Residence where Liu Ming once lived in Guanghan City. The courtyards are arranged neatly together, but
They vary in size, and at a glance, there are no fewer than hundreds of such courtyards.
Soon, the middle-aged steward took Liu Ming and his party to a medium-sized courtyard. There were seven or eight rooms in the courtyard, which could barely accommodate the Qing family and his party.
"I'm really sorry. There are too many aristocratic families in the Central Imperial City now, and housing arrangements are very difficult. Please stay here." The middle-aged steward said apologetically.
"You're welcome, I just have a place to stay." Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
He has no requirements for living conditions, as long as he has a room.
"Master Liu, the tribute ceremony will be held in three days. At that time, all the family heads need to go to the main hall of the Demon Palace to participate in the ceremony. As for other Taoist friends, they can move freely in the city." The middle-aged steward said to Liu Ming.
"Okay, I understand." Liu Ming nodded.
The middle-aged steward saluted Liu Ming again, then turned to say goodbye and left the courtyard.
Qingyu quickly assigned rooms to more than a dozen tribesmen based on the number of people.
Naturally, Liu Ming lived alone in the main hall, which had the best conditions in the courtyard. The others shared a room, which was quite comfortable.
"Master, the residence has been settled now. The other disciples would like to visit various places in the city. You see..." After settling down, Qingyu came to Liu Ming's room and said carefully.
"It doesn't matter, you can go out if you want. Private fights are strictly prohibited in the city, so safety shouldn't be a problem, but you don't want to wander around." Liu Ming thought for a moment and warned.
"Yes, thank you, Master." Qingyu agreed excitedly and quickly left Liu Ming's room.
A moment later, a burst of chaotic footsteps was heard, and all the dozen or so people accompanying the Qing family left the courtyard.
