Xishan City has an important geographical location and is a battleground for military strategists.
Because this is the junction of Yunzhou and Xuanzhou, and it is also the only way for Xuanzhou to enter Yunzhou. The purpose of building a city here is to guard against Xuanzhou.
Xishan City has great strategic significance, and this city has existed for a long time because the Nineteen States of Shenwu Continent have existed for too long.
In ancient times, the Shenwu Continent was not divided into nineteen states. In ancient times, the Shenwu Continent had an unrivaled overlord. He unified the Shenwu Continent, and then divided the world among its kings.
To this day, the legend of Emperor Yu's division into nineteen states is still circulating on the Shenwu Continent.
Although Xishan City is an ancient city, it is not a city that existed in ancient times. It was built during the previous dynasty, the Tianwu Dynasty.
In the late Tianwu Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The Xuanyuan clan rose up and finally took over the Tianwu Dynasty and unified the nineteen states in the world. At that time, Xishan City had only been built less than 600 years ago.
Now, the Dongsheng Dynasty has been established for more than 5,000 years, and this Xishan City is also more than 5,500 years old.
The city is getting bigger and bigger every month, and the population is also increasing. The city originally built has become the inner city.
The inner city of Xishan City is where the nobles in the city live, and the outer city is where the ordinary people in the city live. And outside the city, there are many large and small human settlements.
There are nearly 300,000 humans in the city, and 100,000 regular human troops are stationed there. However, there is no exact number of humans outside the city, but it is estimated that there are between 500,000 and 600,000 humans living outside the city.
It can be said that Xishan City is one of the most important cities in Yunzhou besides the Royal City among the cities in Yunzhou.
However, at this time, the atmosphere in Xishan City was unusual. The city lord Feng Dexiong actually sent his brother Feng Dehai to lead troops to surround the Chu family mansion.
Feng Dehai wanted to lead his troops and rush directly into the Chu family's mansion, but Chu Tianlong, the son of the head of the Chu family, Chu Wancheng, led the private soldiers of the Chu family and blocked him outside the Chu family's mansion.
"Chu Tianlong, you dare to disobey the city lord's order. Are you going to rebel?"
Feng Dehai pointed his sword at Chu Tianlong opposite him and roared.
"Come on, don't do this with me. Has your Feng family finally shown its claws? I thought you had some abilities, but it turns out you just want to label my Chu family as a rebel, and then destroy my Chu family.
?”
Chu Tianlong sneered.
"you……"
When Feng Dehai heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry. He had this intention to destroy the Chu family.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The power of the Chu family in Xishan City is second only to the Feng family, and the Chu family also has a huge number of private soldiers. The most important thing is that the Chu family has a genius, Chu Yan'er.
Chu Yan'er has cultivated to a half-step innate realm at the age of sixteen. What if her cultivation is allowed to successfully break through to the innate master realm?
By then, will there still be a place for my Feng family to gain a foothold in Xishan City?
Therefore, after learning that Chu Yan'er was going to Dongwu Xianzong to participate in the entrance examination of Dongwu Xianzong, the Feng family decided to take action.
"Hmph! Want to destroy my Chu family? Dream on!"
Chu Tianlong looked at Feng Dehai opposite with a sarcastic look.
"this……"
Feng Dehai hesitated.
At this time, when Chu Tianlong saw that Feng Dehai hesitated, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Feng Dehai led his troops to attack regardless, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.
The private soldiers of the Chu family were personally trained by Zhang Xiu, the commander-in-chief of the guards. Their combat power was no weaker than that of the city guards of the city lord Feng Dexiong.
The 100,000 regular troops stationed in the city cannot be mobilized at will.
Those 100,000 regular troops only obey orders from King Yun. Without King Yun's military talisman, no one can mobilize this army, not even King Yun's legitimate son.
The reason why Chu Tianlong is not afraid of Feng Dehai is largely because the Feng family cannot mobilize the 100,000 troops.
…
At this time, inside the city lord's palace.
"Brother, if you shoot an arrow, you can't turn back. Since you are already at war with the Chu family, let's go all out and destroy the Chu family."
In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Feng Desheng said to the City Lord Feng Dexiong.
"That's right, City Lord, you can't hesitate!"
An old man in green robes with white beard and hair stood up and said.
"Fourth uncle, but..."
The city lord Feng Dexiong is not an indecisive person, but this matter is of great importance. Once it fails, it will not be the Chu family that will be destroyed, but the Feng family will be destroyed by the Chu family.
At this critical moment of life and death, it is impossible not to be cautious.
"Stop being hesitant. If you hesitate any longer, you will regret it."
The fourth uncle said in a deep voice.
"Wait a minute, the little prince should be back soon. He has King Yun's Troop Tiger Talisman on him. As soon as he arrives, we will take action."
What Feng Dexiong wants is to be foolproof. If he fights with the Chu family like this, even if he wins in the end, it will be a miserable victory, and the Feng family will be severely damaged.
However, if one hundred thousand garrison troops can be mobilized, then it will be a sure thing.
"Why!"
The fourth uncle sighed, the city lord still couldn't bear to be ruthless.
Of course, the fourth uncle had to admit that the city lord's method was the safest and could minimize the Feng family's losses.
You know, the combat power of the 100,000 regular troops stationed by King Yun in the city cannot be underestimated. Once the army comes out, wouldn't it be easy to defeat the Chu family?
Therefore, Fourth Uncle no longer insisted on starting a war with the Chu family immediately.
However, the Feng family was waiting for a killer star.
…
As night fell, the world was lonely. On the deserted mountain road, a group of people galloped on horseback. The leader was a masked woman.
On the other road, there was also a group of men in black rushing hard. The leader of this group was none other than Ling Mingtian, the young prince of Prince Yun's Mansion.
At this time, Ling Ming was really depressed. He never expected that Chu Yan'er would come back and go back the same way.
After Chu Yan'er and the others came out of Heilong Gorge, they first returned to the mountain town and bought horses, dry food and water before continuing on the road.
At midnight, Chu Yaner, Li Kuang and others finally arrived outside the east gate of Xishan City.
"Quickly get off the drawbridge and open the city gate."
In front of the city gate, Chu Xiao said loudly.
"It's Miss Yan'er, what's going on!?"
Everyone on the top of the city was stunned.
"You bastard, why don't you lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and let us in?"
Chu Xiao roared angrily, these guys didn't even open the door.
"Miss, I'm sorry. The city gates don't open after nightfall. This is a military rule. I hope you can understand."
A guard on the top of the city gritted his teeth and said.
"That's unreasonable!"
Chu Yaner was so angry that she almost cursed.
It seems that things have really changed in the city. Otherwise, how could these guys dare not open the city gate and talk about military regulations? This is simply bullshit.
She was very impatient.
"Isn't it easy to open the city gate?"
At this moment, Li Kuang on the side suddenly said loudly. (To be continued)
