That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 711

The huge Jiuyuan City is densely populated with hundreds of thousands of people. Because it is located in the interior of Wei, it is much more prosperous than Julu City, which is isolated outside the Great Wall.Although it cannot be compared with giant cities like Imperial Capital and Jiangdu, even if it is placed in the Central Plains, it can be regarded as a big city at the level of a state capital.

Xu Beiyou was a little confused as to why the ambitious King of Wei, Xiao Jin, let this place go. Julu City seemed to be a city of monks detached from the world, but in fact it was just outside the control of the imperial court. Clamp down the entire north-south trade route, except for maintaining the normal operation of Julu City and part of it falling into Xiao Maha's bag, all the proceeds will be turned over to the emperor's internal treasury.

But for Xiao Jin, Wei State does not have the civil service system that is mature enough to restrain the emperor in the Central Plains, and there is no need to forcibly divide the national treasury and internal treasury. It seems that there is no need for him to do so.

It's just why Xiao Jin, who has far-reaching strategies, would do this?Is it just an idler who doesn't see any use for the time being?

Xiao Zhinan once told Xu Beiyou that her uncle likes to talk about Go players. Even if you don’t talk about the latitude and longitude between these temples, only in terms of the black and white between the chessboards, she is a well-deserved big player. Playing chess with Zichen, the old head teacher of Taoism, was praised by the old head teacher as "everything is in the chest".

There are nine grades of Go, one is immersion, where the mind wanders in the game, it is wonderful but unknowable; There are many strengths; the fourth is openness, the mind is bright, and one can know the meaning to reach the wonderful state; the fifth is to use wisdom, if one does not have divine knowledge and insight, one must use ingenuity and deep calculation; the sixth is small and exquisite, and often has ingenious tricks to win people; The seventh is fighting strength, using brute force to win the battle; the eighth is being stupid, it seems very dull, but it is inviolable;

According to Xiao Zhinan, she herself is at the stage of "using wits", Xu Beiyou is even worse, between "smallness" and "fighting strength", and this uncle has been "sitting photo" many years ago, Now the world is the chessboard, and the chess skills are getting more and more refined. Presumably, he should have stepped into the "Enchanted God" of transcendence and holiness.

How could such an idler of a great power be underestimated?
From Xu Beiyou's point of view, Wei Guo can only be regarded as a corner of the chessboard for the whole world. The chess pieces here have fallen to the extreme, and it is time to sort out the chess pieces here.

Perhaps it was because of the cicada's foresight that the autumn wind hadn't moved, Xu Beiyou had an inexplicable premonition that maybe he came at just the right time.

Of the three major powers in Jiuyuan City, the official mansion is naturally in the official office in the east of the city, the Jialan Temple is outside the city, and the old soldiers in the northwest are in a mansion in the west of the city. This mansion originally belonged to the Gongsun family and later became Yang Bofu After the death of Yang Bofu, the Xingyuan was occupied by these old soldiers from the Northwest.

There were about ten people in this group of Northwest veterans at the earliest time. Over the years, many people have died of old age, and there are still six people left. However, there are many more young juniors than in those days, which can be regarded as the inheritance of incense. Maybe it will form the embryonic form of the sect.

Of course, if you want to occupy a place and form a sect inheritance, it is not enough just to have people, you also need to have enough money, let’s talk about the larger Buddhist and Taoist families, which one doesn’t have tens of millions of believers to support them, not only rich, but also There are countless talents scrambling to become disciples, such as Jianzong and Tianji Pavilion who are a little bit inferior. The former has sea trade and countless industries, while the latter has the full support of the imperial court. Capital.

These veterans in the Northwest are well-deserved powerful in Jiuyuan City. The strength of several veterans is quite tyrannical. There are probably two people from the Immortal Realm and one from the Earth Immortal Realm. As far as Jiuyuan City is concerned, it is indeed quite Not bad.It’s just that it has been poorly managed for so many years, and it is much worse than the Jialan Temple, which has a large family and a large number of people. Now the several headed family members are getting old, and there are signs of failure. If those old people who are Dinghaishenzhen let go , and there are no figures to support the main beam, then the famous name built by the veterans of the Northwest for decades, I am afraid that it will collapse completely in an instant.

Suddenly a sound of footsteps interrupted Xu Beiyou's thoughts. The next moment, the door of his room was kicked open from the outside, and then a tall man walked into the room, and said in a thunderous voice, "Boy, today Just entered the city?"

Xu Beiyou looked back at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

With just one glance, this man with a good cultivation suddenly felt like a light was on his back, his whole body was completely stiff, and he almost couldn't take a step.

He gritted his teeth, and took a few steps forward desperately under the gaze of this young man, but his face suddenly felt extremely painful, as if a steel needle had really pierced it, the pain pierced into the bone, and he never dared to force it Holding back, he quickly returned to the original point, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, it was hot, and then looked down at the palm of his hand, it was bright red and glaring.

The man was sweating profusely in an instant, not because he was hot, but because he was scared.

After Xu Beiyou looked back, the man finally no longer felt like a thorn in his back, and couldn't help but gasp a few times, like a fish that had just returned to the water.

Xu Beiyou asked again, "Is there something wrong?"

The man hurriedly shook his head, "It's all right, it's just... I just went to the wrong door."

Xu Beiyou hummed and waved his hand.

The man scrambled out of the room. Before he left, he didn't forget to close the door. Then he went all the way to the lobby downstairs. Regardless of the surprised eyes of the shopkeeper and the waiter, he picked up a teapot and filled most of it with tea. Finally, he said to himself: "It's really evil."

This inn is not considered a black inn, but it is not a good person. The reason for saying this is because for regular customers in the city, this is an ordinary inn, but for those outsiders who have just entered the city , but it can be regarded as half a black shop, and many customers will inevitably be exploited by them here.

This man named Zhang Yi was born and bred in the local area. He was surprised by his bones since he was a child. He was accepted as a closed disciple by an old soldier in the Northwest. Over the years, his realm has climbed steadily. He has already touched the threshold of the realm of ghosts and immortals, but his temper is a little jumpy He likes to invite friends and companions to be a knight-errant, and later simply developed into a "one tyrant", because his master has taught him a lot about this matter, but he never changed after repeated admonitions, and over time, his master let him go.

Because of this, he has been defiant over the years, thinking that he is also a figure in Jiuyuan City, relying on his master's teachings to rampage and poke a lot of troubles, but with the famous name of Northwest Veteran, there is no one in Jiuyuan City. People dared to do anything to him, which fueled his arrogance even more.

However, after seeing that young man today, he woke up suddenly. He really answered the words that Master often said, there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. He didn't have the slightest desire to make a move at all, and he was following the path of martial arts, training his muscles and bones, and skin membrane, this person pierced his face with almost real eyes, what kind of cultivation base is this?Even the third master who has stepped into the realm of the earth fairy does not have this ability.

If this person made a direct move, what else could he do besides obediently waiting to die?
No, there is no need to shoot at all, that person can completely kill him just by "seeing".

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi's back was drenched in cold sweat again.
