Yunlan City, the county seat of Yunjun in the Blue Lion Empire, is the second largest city in the Blue Lion Empire after the Holy Capital. It is the most prosperous city and the final point where the Yunlan Mountains extend from the Cangmang Mountains.
Yunlan City is built on the Yunlan Mountain, the largest center of the Yunlan Mountains. It follows the terrain like a staircase and is divided into four areas: heaven, earth, black and yellow. The sky area is covered with clouds and mist all year round, just like a fairy city on earth, like it is embedded in the Blue Lion Empire.
It is a pearl in the sky, so it is named Yunlan, and the name of Yunjun County has been derived from this.
The good geographical location, developed economy, and the rich products of the Yunlan Mountains have created the reputation of Yunlan City as the most prosperous capital in the empire.
There is a saying circulating on the mainland, "Breaking the Holy City will only drive away the royal family, but occupying Yunlan will cut off the lifeline of the Blue Lion." This shows how important Yunlan City is in the entire Blue Lion Empire, and spies from all over the world can follow it.
The name of Shang travels through the clouds, and the three religions and nine streams are also in the same place. On the surface, it is prosperous and stable, but in fact, there are turbulent undercurrents.
There are three major monsters in Yunlan City. Although there is an entire legion stationed in Yunlan City, which is also the second most powerful legion recognized by the Blue Lion Empire, and the leader of the Green Lion Legion is the prince of the royal family, King Green Lion, but the city lord of Yunlan City
But it was not him, but the three Yunlan families who took turns holding the palm. The so-called emperor is not the emperor, which is the first strange thing.
The second strange thing is that the empire has three top chambers of commerce: Yunlong, Yunlan, and Yunfeng. Among them, Yunlong is founded by the royal family. It has its presence in all the major counties and cities, from remote cities to the Holy Capital.
Following the pattern of one county, one department, one city and one store, it has accumulated a steady stream of wealth for the Qingshi royal family and also plays the role of monitoring the intelligence system of the entire empire. However, it has not set up a branch in Yunlan City, let alone
Yunfeng is purely an alliance of small chambers of commerce in various cities.
Yunlan is the second largest monster, with only Yilan among the three clouds.
The third strange thing is that in fair transactions in Yunlan City, no force should be used. Anyone who dares to do anything will be killed without mercy. Even if you are a member of the Blue Lion Royal Family, the ruler of the Blue Lion Empire, you will be killed if you violate any taboo.
So no matter how dark the undercurrents are in Yunlan City, everyone keeps their tail between their legs. This is a bit unreasonable in a world where warriors are rampant in the Martial Qi Continent.
Shi Huangzi can understand this third monster very well. If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle. If you want to develop and prosper, all privileges cannot exist. Creating a fair environment has infinite appeal to a world where most of the weak are weak.
Isn't this a different world version of "Utopia"? The existence of this third monster may be centered on an existence or force that even the Blue Lion Royal Family is attracted to and fearful of, and this person or force possesses a peak beyond fireworks.
strength.
Recalling the three monsters he was told when he entered the city, Shi Huangzi analyzed it in his mind. He only analyzed the possibility of the third monster. As for the first and second monsters, he couldn't guess at the moment.
Four people and one dog were walking in the Yellow Zone of Yunlan City. They were shocked by the prosperity of the city. The bluestone floors and archways on the ground were scattered in an orderly manner. Businessmen gathered here and there. There was a prosperous and peaceful scene everywhere. The Yellow Zone at the bottom was already
So, what about the three areas at the top?
The Tian District is where the city lord's palace is, and where the three major aristocratic families, Huang, Wang, and Zhao are located; the area is where the Blue Lion Legion is located, which guards Yunlan City and patrols Yunlan City, maintaining the rule that Yunlan City cannot use force;
The district is also called Lan District and is where the Yunlan Chamber of Commerce is located. This shows the importance of the Yunlan Chamber of Commerce in Yunlan City.
The Yellow Zone is the area where Shi Huangzi and the others are wandering around. It is a gathering place for traffickers and lackeys and ordinary people. The largest existence among the four zones is the bottom one. Its location is at the bottom of the mountain. There are bustling people and lively trade.
It tells the prosperous appearance of Yunlan.
There will be chaos when there are many people. No matter how fair you appear on the surface, looking at this lively scene, with brocade clothes and tattered clothes mixed together, Shi Huangzi secretly made a conclusion in his heart.
Sure enough, in a corner somewhere, when a guy in shabby clothes accidentally bumped into a young man in rich clothes, a quarrel broke out that attracted everyone's attention.
But not long after, a group of soldiers with bright armors were already in place. After receiving the secret hand from the handsome man, they knocked the ragged man unconscious with sticks and pulled him away. Looking at this situation, Shi Huangzi had something to say.
Feeling sad that "the urban management team has appeared", I shook my head deeply and led a few people and the boy to a restaurant that looked better.
"Are you guys staying in a hotel or having a meal?" the waiter said attentively as they entered the room.
"Eat first and then stay, so all the delicious food comes first. The most important thing is to remember to give me fifty big sluts, fifty big sluts." Before Shi Huangzi could say anything, the little man on his shoulder had already
It's shouting loudly.
"Crack!"
Shi Huangzi gave the young man a big slap and said, ignoring the confused look on the waiter's face.
"Three rooms, good wine and good meat, you don't need to pay attention to that slut."
"Uh, sir. I'm very sorry. We only have two guest rooms left in our hotel." The waiter said a little embarrassedly.
"Why?" the young man who had been taught a lesson by Shi Huangzi asked angrily, and several people also looked at the waiter in a strange way.
"Because the Yunlan Auction is coming up in a month, there are more guests coming and going, so the guest rooms are a little tight."
"Then you still want us to stay in the hotel?" The young man asked again angrily.
"I thought you and your party only need two rooms." After saying that, the waiter glanced at the few people with some aggrievedness.
"Just two rooms." The voices of Shi Huangzi and Liu Mengdie sounded at the same time. Ning Tian and Xiao Huan looked a little surprised, while the young man next to them had a sly smile.
Looking at Ning Tian who was a little worried, Xiao Huan who would rather die than obey, Liu Mengdie who turned slightly red after speaking, and the evil smile on the boy's face, recalling the gaffe at the city gate, Shi Huangzi felt a "
They are all crazy,” he said neatly.
"Ning Tian, my little boy and I will share a room, and you two girls will share a room."
Ignoring the reactions of several people, he sat down at a table by the window, looked at the somewhat aggrieved young man, and shouted to the waiter again.
"The waiter will serve the food quickly. I want a hundred big saucy buns, the biggest kind."
...
The few people were full of wine and food. Looking at the young man who seemed to be a little bit stuffed by a hundred big buns, Shi Huangzi felt a little happy, and asked the waiter about the situation of the Yunlan auction.
After paying the bill, they all returned to the room with a grimace on their faces.
This meal plus the cost of two guest rooms cost almost one hundred gold coins. One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins and one hundred copper coins. However, a normal family of three outside Yunlan City only spends twenty gold coins in one month.
Today, just food and accommodation alone cost a family of three five months, which made Shi Huangzi feel a little heartbroken.
Moreover, to participate in the Yunlan Auction, the minimum deposit required to enter is one million gold coins. Their current food and accommodation are only in the yellow zone with the lowest consumption among the four districts of Yunlan City.
A few people and one dog took out all their possessions and put them on the table. There were less than a hundred inner elixirs of king-level monsters, some king-level and master-level martial arts, and a few of Liu Mengdie's 100,000 gold coin cards.
, the combined net worth is only worth one million, which is just enough for one person to enter. Needless to say, the prices in the auction are higher than the previous ones. The news about the martial spirit is one of the finale, and all kinds of things are directly overwhelming.
The thoughts of several people participating in the auction.
Seeing Shi Huangzi's expression of headache, Liu Mengdie took out a few high-grade elixirs from the Ghost Saint that she had received in Youlan City and said to Shi Huangzi.
"Young Master Xiao Huanghuang, I didn't use those few martial arts pills for healing last time. If I can sell them in that pill pavilion, they should be worth a million."
Xiao Huan on the side looked at Liu Mengdie's actions and took out the pills she was given to express her position. Ning Tian lowered his head in embarrassment.
"this?"
Shi Huangzi was a little surprised. Before he could say anything again, Liu Mengdie stood up and seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time. His face turned blue and he gritted his teeth, as if he had been struggling for a long time, and said again.
"Young Master Xiao Huanghuang, it's okay. I'll help you find a solution. Don't worry."
As he said this, he was about to pull Xiaohuan out of the guest room, but Xiaohuan struggled, pulled Liu Mengdie's hand away, and cried out in pain.
"Miss, do you really want to do that? Are you really willing to do it?"
Shi Huangzi was confused by these two girls. Several questions floated in his mind, "What are you doing?", and then suddenly he was excited, "These two silly girls don't want to do that stupid thing, do they?
Holy shit, selling yourself?"
Although he laughs at poverty but not at prostitution, he knows the true feelings when he is in poverty.
He had already vaguely felt Liu Mengdie's affection for him. But hell, if these two women really had to make such sacrifices for him, it couldn't be said that he couldn't forgive himself. Shi Xiaocui, who was under Jiuquan, didn't know how.
I won't run out and give him a few slaps, that's absolutely not allowed.
With this thought in his mind, Shi Huangzi became a little angry. Although the news about that martial spirit might be the pulse spirit he needed, to make the two women pay such a sacrifice, he was worse than a beast.
Besides, he had already smelted a pulse spirit and ascended to the realm of the Martial Emperor. He no longer had the sense of urgency before. It was just the regret that he could not find anything that made him insist on coming to Yunlan City to try his luck. If it was
In this way, it’s okay not to take a chance on this.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the anger that was about to burst out. He raised his hand and slapped the table hard with his palm, and roared at Liu Mengdie and Xiao Huan with angry teeth.
"What do you think I am? Are you going to betray yourself like this? Go ahead. I can't accept your kindness, and I don't dare to accept it. Men have certain things to do and things not to do. Little man, let's go!"
Shi Huangzi made a sudden move, and the table in the guest room exploded into pieces in the anger that he was originally unwilling to explode. It shocked several people. Liu Mengdie, who came back to her senses, stamped her feet and almost shed tears.
He came out, dragged Xiaohuan and ran back to his room bitterly, leaving a big "you gangster" look on Shi Huangzi's back.
"Brother...brother, are you...thinking too much? Are you too...too much?" Ning Tian, who was still in the room, was trembling and ran out of the room as he spoke.
, giving Shi Huangzi another "How could you think so?"
In the room, the young man was left alone and jumped onto a chair, smiling with a somewhat disdainful look, as if he was speaking in the context of a previous life.
"Young man, you are so dirty, so dirty! Young man, you think too much, you think too much."
