The carriage was driving on the road between Qingzhu Village and Xiliang City. This road was paved with stone slabs by Xiliang people, and there were many buildings along the way.
As the connection between Qingzhu Village and Xiliang City becomes increasingly closer, caravans pass by on this road every day. Sentries are densely covered on both sides. There will be a sentry box every five miles, guarded by Xiliang soldiers.
Everyone outside the Northwest Pass knows that the stone road from Qingzhu Village can lead to the core of Xiliang, Xiliang City.
But among the people under Xiliang City, only Zhang Qingyun can enter and exit Xiliang City at will. The others don't even know what Xiliang City is like. They only know that Xiliang City is to the north of Qingzhu Village.
The snow on the road has been cleared cleanly. The further north you go, the thicker the snow becomes. A group of people in the carriage opened the curtains and saw the white snow outside, followed by the cold air.
It's very cold outside the Pass. The place where Xiliang City is located is even colder than most places outside the Pass. Except for the people in Xiliang who can endure the cold, everyone else has to wear clothes made of the furs of ferocious beasts, otherwise they can't
Protect against cold winds.
"Sister Yating, do you think City Lord Li is really what those people said?" The little girl opposite Wu Yating ate the rare cold grapes outside the Northwest Pass: "I have heard that he has three heads and six arms.
If you can tear apart a tiger with your hands, you can eat hundreds of kilograms of meat in one meal!"
There are very few people who have seen Li Xiang. Most of them have died on the battlefield. The remaining few have either fallen into the mining area or are already middle-level managers in Xiliang. Ordinary people at the bottom rarely see Li Xiang.
Everyone knows about Prime Minister Li from various gossips and some rumors in the market.
Two people were sitting in a carriage, and they would continue to sit for two days. They were really bored, so they started chatting. However, even if they chatted, they could talk very little, and they just barely exposed the door of their house. Fortunately, they can do it today.
Arrive at Xiliang City.
Wu Yating was not very interested in the food. She took a book from Xiliang people and opened it. When she heard the little girl's question, she smiled and said: "If this is really the case, then are you still willing to marry
him?"
The little girl thought about it and said, "Yes, as long as he gives me food. If I can eat all kinds of fruits and barbecue every day, even if I die, I am willing!"
"The most beautiful thing in this world is to have enough food and drink!" He said, picking up a skewer of small barbecue and taking a bite: "I am rich, and my biggest wish is to eat all kinds of delicious food every day!"
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat? The city lord doesn't want you?" Wu Yating couldn't help but joked: "When you go over and the city lord sees a little fat man, you may not be able to eat these delicacies in the future!"
"I'm not afraid!" Qian Duoduo pricked up his ears and listened carefully to see that no one was approaching. He sat next to Wu Yating and whispered, "I have a cultivation method that can transform everything I eat into vitality. In this way, I can
Eat and become stronger.
I am a top-notch expert now, if someone dares to bully you, sister, I will help you beat her!"
Wu Yating was a little careless: "I didn't expect that Duoduo, you are still a little master!"
"That's right!" Qian Duoduo continued to eat: "I have to work hard to eat and become stronger so that I can bring my mother back to Daqian!"
"Sister, why do you want to marry the city lord?"
"Sister, I am doing this for a living!" Wu Yating showed a sad smile: "Because my father, mother, and younger brother were deported outside the customs and lived a hard life. I want them to live a more comfortable life without having to worry about food and clothing. !”
Qian Duoduo nodded knowingly: "Sister, do you want to go back to Daqian?"
"Daqian!" Wu Yating recalled her life in Daqian: "Think about it! Flowers bloom in spring, green trees shade in summer, and fruits are abundant in autumn. Winter is not so cold, and there is the sound of reading. Daqian , we can’t just go back if we want to!”
Qian Duoduo was looking forward to it: "I heard from my father that the city lord will take us back to Dagan, back to the land that belongs to the Dagan people!
I heard that there are many delicious things in the Imperial Capital of Daqian, including roasted suckling pig, roasted spiritual beasts, monster meat, as well as fine wines from various places, flower carvings, and roasted knives..."
Hearing a series of terms about eating and drinking, Wu Yating said angrily: "Is it all about eating in your heart?
The most famous one in the imperial capital is the Chongwen Gate. Every three years when a new top scholar emerges, someone will come to the gate to roll his name. That is the place to aspire to. He is the only one among the hundreds of millions of Daqian people!"
"But aren't the scholars very mean-spirited?" Qian Duoduo said, "My father said that scholars are very mean-spirited. If they are good at heart, it's fine. If they are bad at heart, you have to count the money to him if he sells you. "
"My father told me that even if you marry a martial artist, don't marry a scholar. If you are a martial artist, I can beat him. If you are a scholar, I can slap him and that person will die!
For my safety and Shan Xiangong’s safety, I still have to find a stronger husband!"
"Your dad is so kind!" Wu Yating didn't know how to comment.
"That's right!" Qian Duoduo raised his little head proudly: "My father is a famous fortune teller. He calculated that I would be selected, and he also calculated that there are a lot of delicious food here!"
"Your father is a good fortune teller?" A name appeared in Wu Yating's mind: "Your father is from Xicheng, a good fortune teller?"
"Sister Yating, have you heard of my father's name?" Qian Duoduo said proudly: "My father has not missed it yet. It's a pity that the city lord does not need a fortune teller, otherwise my father would definitely be chosen!"
Xicheng's God is a master of money affairs. This is a very famous person in Nanli City. He is a sage who knows how to handle money affairs. He is not allowed to give up money.
However, Wu Yating never knew that the fortune teller had such a beautiful daughter, but thinking about her own experience, before Xiliang City occupied the White Lotus Sect City, would she dare to go out with her true identity?
The place where criminals are exiled outside the Northwest Pass cannot be said to be beautiful outside the Pass, which is a disaster.
Just as the two people were chatting, the carriage in front stopped and the sound of horse hooves came from outside. The two opened the curtains and saw cavalry wearing black leather armor coming from the front.
These people carried a murderous aura, and the driver driving the carriage was afraid that the two people behind him would think of making any more noises: "The front is about to reach Xiliang City. These cavalry are sent by the general manager to greet us. There are a total of 1,500 cavalry." Riding, you will be taken to the palace in a moment."
"I also hope that you two can abide by what the manager said and don't make things difficult for us. There are many places to go in the city, but there are some places where you must not enter without permission!"
Wu Yating, the two of them, was more sensible than Qian Duoduo and said: "Thank you, brother, for telling me!"
The driver laughed: "I'm serious. I hope you can take good care of my lord and us rough guys. We can do well in marching and fighting. It's up to you to take care of personnel!"
"Set off!"
At this time, a voice came from the front, and the coachman said to the two of them: "Sit tight, we will arrive at Xiliang City soon!"
The carriage rumbled forward. The two of them did not speak, but looked at the world outside the window. People in front also opened their curtains and looked at the world outside.
The trees outside Xiliang City have been cut down, leaving flat land. Nothing has been built on this land yet, so it looks completely white.
Xiliang City appeared in their eyes. Outside the south city gate were thirty-two psychic forts. When the Xiliang construction workers had the blueprints, it took them several months to fully understand the psychic forts.
These thirty-two forts represent the most powerful war weapons in Xiliang City. The energy used by these weapons is Yuanshi, which is stone ore.
As the carriage passed by, everyone's eyes were transfixed by the fort. The deep muzzle made them feel scared. It was a feeling that made people's souls tremble and death beckoning.
Then they passed through the thick city wall. The city gate was very tall. They couldn't see how high the city wall was, but they could feel how thick the city wall was from the passage at the city gate.
When they arrived in Xiliang City, they felt that the air suddenly became much warmer. They could see the neat houses on both sides, and the people walking on the street were all Xiliang troops with a height of two meters.
The city is very big, and their carriage is still moving forward slowly. Xiliang builders built a palace for Prime Minister Li very close to the center of the town, and there is a heavily guarded passage to the center of the town.
When the people from Xiliang saw the long queue, they naturally retreated to both sides without looking at the people in the car. At least one of them would be the hostess.
Yu!
The carriage stopped again, and the surrounding knights dismounted one after another. Wu Yating and Qian Duoduo looked out the window curiously. A strong sound of horse hooves came, and the groom ran to the window: "Hurry up the curtains!"
Wu Yating and others quickly closed the curtains, but there was still a small gap, enough for him and the two of them to see outside.
Li Xiang passed by this team with a strong smell of blood. When he saw these exquisite carriages, he knew that these people were Zhang Qingyun and Li Yi. They had prepared women for him. They originally chose maids, but Li Xiang didn't like them.
When asked to serve, the maid should wait until Xiliang City really captures the entire Guanwai before starting to choose or choose from among the captives.
Now a common wife, this is the reason why many people are crazy this time. A common wife is not a concubine, but for these people, a concubine is also a very good choice.
Chen Huaihe quickly passed by with his bodyguards and returned to the center of the town.
The carriage carrying the woman advanced slowly and entered the huge palace...
"My lord, you are back!" Seeing Li Xiang coming back, Li Yi stepped forward to greet him: "I have asked people to prepare the clothes. After you take a bath, put on that set of clothes. Those women live in the harem."
In this palace, there are two women in a small courtyard. If you like those two, then choose those two!"
"Two?" Li Xiang's eyes were full of doubts: "Didn't we agree on one?"
Li Yi pretended to be helpless and said: "A woman is really boring and needs a companion. They have already chosen them when they got on the carriage. If you like the couple, just keep that couple. Of course, if you like them all,
Then keep them all!”
The soldiers of the Xiliang headquarters have long been looking forward to the birth of the next generation of their lord. After the lord gets married, it will be their turn to get married alone!
Some Xiliang soldiers who were quick to act had already made lifelong love affairs with the women recruited from Xiliang headquarters, while those disabled soldiers could only marry women from outside the Northwest Pass. Li Yidu had already made arrangements.
After the Lord gets married, Xiliang will have 10,000 new couples getting married. It is expected that next year the new generation of Xiliang City will appear on the land outside the Northwest Pass.
Li Xiang took a comfortable bath and put on a black robe with some gold threads and some strange runes on it. It was very comfortable and warm. The belt was still the same belt, which was his fundamental.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Li Xiang felt strange. He hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time. The change was not big, but the two intersecting wounds on his face made his otherwise ordinary face look a little murderous.
It's not very pretty to begin with, and with these two wounds, children would probably be frightened and cry when they see it, as well as those messy beards. Thinking about my age, I am now twenty-one years old.
At his age, many of his peers are already fathers of several children.
He put the black long sword on his waist and the temperature immediately dropped when he walked out of the room, but to Li Xiang, this coldness was nothing.
"Lord, you should shave your stubble!" Li Yi saw the stubble and wanted to clean it off, but time was running out: "You must clean it up next time. It's getting dark soon, so you'd better go there early!"
Li Xiang looked more anxious than himself. Li Yi felt helpless: "Send five hundred people to station here. Some of them don't want to be my wife, Xiang Li."
"Are there enemies among those people?" Li Yi blinked. They had conducted various inspections on these girls before, and those who failed the inspections had been excluded. Why are they still there now!
Li Xiang was a little unsure: "I don't know if it is true. I see that two of those girls are a little red. They should be in that kind of situation and have some hostility towards Xiliang. I don't know if it is because of the forces behind it or because of me, Xiang Li."
this person!"
"Then go quickly!" Li Yi said: "I will take people there right away!"
Prime Minister Li nodded and walked quickly towards the palace not far away with fifty personal guards.
Outside Xiliang City
Five men all dressed in white leaned against a giant tree, looking at the Xiliang City built in the snow in the distance.
, this height will also increase with the development of Xiliang City.
This city is the foundation of Xiliang. As long as Xiliang City still exists, Xiliang will still exist!
"What a city, it feels like it's in crisis from the middle!" said a somewhat hoarse voice.
"The forces behind Mr. Xiang are not simple. Those soldiers who came before can already fight against the empire's front-line troops!" Another man in white said.
A thin man asked: "Then do we still have to go in to meet the young master?"
"Go, why don't you go!" said the captain of the five: "The situation inside the pass is getting worse and worse. With the foundation of the pass outside, it can be considered a good way out!"
