Chapter 2 Shocked, the dignified emperor actually did such a thing!
Gao Dali's eyes widened, and he looked at the giant city standing in the mountains ahead with an expression of disbelief.

When did such a majestic giant city appear in the barren state? Shouldn't this be Baishi City?
But Baishi City is obviously just a small ruined city with low walls.

Is it wrong to go to the wrong place?
Gao Dali rubbed his eyes, then took out the map to look carefully, and found that this was indeed the location of Baishi City.

"Gao Dali, after all, you are also the chief executive, why are you in such a panic, how decent are you?"

Emperor Ganwu frowned, quite dissatisfied with Gao Dali's loss of control, walked up a few steps, and froze there, showing exactly the same surprised expression as Gao Dali.

Your Majesty, you still have the nerve to talk about me, don’t you yourself?

Gao Dali said secretly in his heart, naturally he didn't dare to show it, and even turned his head away, as if he didn't see it.

Long Yan paled, this is absolutely unbearable.

After a long time, Emperor Ganwu came back to his senses, coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and looked at Gao Dali: "Gao Dali, are you sure this is Baishi City?"

Gao Dali held up the map, pointed to the position on it, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this is indeed Baishi City."

Emperor Ganwu finally believed it, but the more he was like this, the more surprised he was. In his impression, Baishi City was so majestic and majestic. .

"Let's go and have a look."

After all, it was Yi Gao who was bold, so Emperor Ganwu summoned Gao Dali to walk to Baishi City together, and when he stepped down the mountain road, he came to Baishi City, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he was.

Because there are an unknown number of evil beasts, large and small, lying on the plain, but most of them have no corpses that are complete, basically all of them are fragmented, and some of them are obviously corpses from a long time ago. They have rotted and even turned into A pile of bones.

The plain is uneven, and there are countless large pits densely packed all over it. The pits are scorched black, and there are wisps of gunpowder smoke in many black pits, which is very strange.

Both Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali are martial arts masters, well-informed, but they couldn't see how these evil beasts were killed. The key is that there were no traces of weapons left on the ground.

"It's so strange, how did they kill these evil beasts?"

Emperor Qianwu was full of doubts and couldn't figure it out, he looked at Gao Dali.

Gao Dali also shook his head blankly.

With doubts, a master and a servant came to Baishi City.

After getting closer, the two opened their mouths wide when they looked at the city wall, because the White Stone City in front of them is not just a superficial city, but a real fortified city.

The dark red city wall was actually made of square rocks, and there were no gaps between the rocks, even the sharpest blades couldn't get in. Because a lot of evil beast blood was spilled, it looked dark red.

And such a city wall is more than ten feet high.

It is impenetrable and indestructible!
Even the capital does not have such a solid city wall.

The more Emperor Qianwu looked at it, the more frightened and horrified he was. Such a fortified city actually appeared in Dagan territory. This must not be Baishi City, because Baishi City couldn't be like this. He had visited it once more than ten years ago.

Could it be that the barbarians outside the Southern Wilderness invaded the Barren State long ago, captured Baishi City, and built such a strong city under the eyes of the governor of the Barren State?
Damn it, don't they know what the officials in the barren state eat?

This is to prepare for the invasion of Qianguo!
The more I think about it, the more likely it is that Emperor Qianwu doesn't care about Li Changfeng's life at this moment, because in his eyes, the barbarians have already established such a strong city. Li Changfeng, who was originally stationed in office, must be dead. He wants to return to Beijing immediately , Immediately summon a large army to attack here, regain the lost ground, and avenge Li Changfeng.

Before he could turn around and leave, Emperor Ganwu heard a voice from above the city wall: "The two people over there, what are you doing?"

Hearing the voice of questioning, both Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali changed color.

Now the two of them regretted it a lot, they should never have done it, they shouldn't have gone on tour in low clothes, and they shouldn't have been too curious to get so close.

Well, it's been found.

Gao Dali immediately hurriedly said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this old slave is protecting you, you should leave here immediately."

Emperor Ganwu shook his head: "No, if you leave now, it will be easier to be killed. These barbarians can easily kill even evil beasts. If the two of us want to escape, it is even more impossible. It is better to say that we are here to do business Yes, there may be some hope of surviving."

Although Qianguo has been at war with hundreds of clans all year round, it has never stopped doing business in private. After all, they can exchange things of great value to each other, so generally neither side will kill merchants.

Emperor Qianwu immediately shouted to the guard on the city wall: "We are merchants from Xiazhou, and we are here to do business."

Sure enough, after hearing that it was a merchant, the garrison on the city wall whispered to each other for a while, and then someone shouted, "Open the door!"

The tall and thick city gate opened slowly. At this time, Emperor Ganwu and Gao Dali could only bite the bullet and enter the enemy's inner city, and then find a chance to escape later.

Entering the city, the two of them who had already been shocked by the city wall were once again shocked by everything in the city.

What catches the eye is a flat and open black road. The ground is neither slate nor soil, but countless dark stone granules that have been flattened, and it is not as hard as slate when stepped on. It is solid and has a bit of It's soft, and it's not easy to hurt your feet when you walk on it.

There are houses on both sides of the main road, ranging from two or three floors to four or five floors, and they are quite neatly built, and the planning is quite neat, not as messy as other towns.

There are people coming and going on the street, and there are countless hawkers setting up stalls on both sides, which looks bustling and lively.

Among them, I also saw many warriors from the rivers and lakes.

But the strange thing is that the city seems very peaceful despite the hustle and bustle. Even if there were occasional quarrels, there were no fights, and there were no other places where people would kill people if they didn't agree with each other.

Emperor Qianwu was silent. Such a bustling and lively scene is not much better than the capital city, and the capital city is not so peaceful, and the roads are not so smooth.

Have the barbarians already developed to this point?
How many troops must be dispatched to recover the lost ground?
Gao Dali next to him has followed Emperor Qianwu for many years, so he naturally knew what he was thinking in his heart. He was terrified at first, but slowly realized some truths, and whispered to Emperor Qianwu: "Your Majesty, master, look , these people are not Southern barbarians, they seem to be Dagan people, and they all speak Dagan language."

Hearing these words, Emperor Ganwu carefully observed the passers-by around him, and found that it was indeed as Gao Dali said, no matter their appearance, skin color, clothing, or speech, they were all the same as Dagan people.

What's the matter?

Had he misunderstood?
At this moment, a city official led a group of guards over in a hurry, shouting as they walked, "Excuse me, please let me go, thank you."

The passers-by on the road didn't show much fear, and they all stepped aside consciously, until the city official came to the two of them, his eyes lit up, and he said: "I am the city official here, Zhao Yong, and I heard that the two are businessmen from Xiazhou. right?"

Seeing Zhao Yong, the eyes of the two of them lit up. This is clearly the official uniform of Dagan, not the barbarian's, which means that this is the city of Dagan.

But when did Baishi City develop to this point?

Why didn't the court know anything about it?

Emperor Qianwu didn't speak, Gao Dali went forward to salute and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, we are businessmen from Xiazhou and want to do business in Baishi City."

Zhao Yong's spirit was shaken immediately. These two people were probably inspectors who visited secretly.

Listen, this accent is a pure capital accent, and businessmen are outside, how dare they wear fancy clothes so ostentatiously outside, are they not afraid of being robbed?
In particular, no one knows better than him how chaotic the barren state outside Baishi City is.

Only some officials don't know the habits of businessmen, so they disguise themselves like this.

According to His Highness, these two inspectors should be well controlled, and they should not be allowed to tell the outside world everything about Baishi City, bribe them if they can, and threaten them directly if they can't.

Zhao Yong, who had already made up his mind, laughed, and said, "Hahaha, it turns out that they are businessmen from Xiazhou. I heard that it is a well-known and wealthy place there. I don't know if you two are in business or something?"

Emperor Qianwu smiled and said, "Our main business is tea."

"Okay, it happens that we have these in Baishi City, I don't know how much you two want." Zhao Yong said, it seems to be talking about business, but it is actually a code word, and wants to know how much the two inspectors will charge before agreeing .

Emperor Ganwu thought for a while and said, "10 taels."

10 taels!
Zhao Yong gasped, these two inspectors were like lions, they dared to say 10 taels, they were really greedy.

Immediately, his face darkened a little, and he said: "Sorry, 10 taels is a bit too much, I need to tell His Highness about this matter, please come to heaven and earth with me to have fun together, oh, have a light meal, it just so happens Your Highness There too."

"In that case, please sir lead the way."

Although he wondered why Zhao Yong was not only unhappy when he heard the big business of 10 taels, but also became a little ugly, but Emperor Ganwu's thoughts had already flown to Li Changfeng.

Hmph, this kid will be very surprised when he recognizes me later. I must teach this scoundrel a lesson. Baishi City has become so good, but he didn't tell me at all.

Gao Dali was also prepared to watch a good show, this Ninth Prince was a bit unlucky.

"Okay, both of you, please follow me."

Not long after, under the leadership of Zhao Yong, a group of people came to a three-story restaurant.

Emperor Ganwu and Gao Dali could vaguely hear the chatter and laughter coming from inside, as well as playing piano music, and then looked up at the plaque on the restaurant, there were four big characters written in flamboyant and phoenix dance: heaven and earth!
Seeing this, Emperor Qianwu showed a smile, and said: "It seems that His Royal Highness Ninth Prince has not lost the elegance of the royal family. Even if he came here, he created such a good place. It must be a place for literati to gather."

A place for literati to meet?
But that's not it, literati like to visit brothels most, so what if it's not a gathering place for literati.

Zhao Yong blinked, laughed loudly and said: "It seems that this master is also a literati, there must be something you like."

A group of people walked in, only to see the open space inside, full of scholarly and unique style.

On the central stage on the first floor, several singers were playing. Many people in the audience were either applauding or hugging one or two scantily clad women. Inside the clothes, hands up and down, very happy.

Emperor Qianwu's figure froze.

Gao Dali was dumbfounded.

Fuck, is this a gathering place for literati?
Isn't this a brothel?

The dignified emperor visits brothels?
The majestic chief executive visiting brothels?
"Hahaha, are the two satisfied with this place?" Zhao Yong saw the dumbfounded expressions of the two, and couldn't help giving His Highness a thumbs up in his heart. His Highness knew the mentality of these inspectors best, so he didn't say anything. , Bring it directly to the heavens and the earth to talk about it again, and everything goes without saying.
