Chapter 945 In Xijing City, Empress Beimang meets in the void in front of the Hidden Dragon Tank

Beimang originally had no capital city, or before Empress Murong usurped the throne, this grassland empire did not have a large-scale central city at all.

However, as Empress Murong came to the throne, she chose to spend 400,000 soldiers and 900,000 civilians to build the capital, which took nine years. Xu Huainan, the king of the North Academy, and Zhang Rou and Zhang Lue, a father-son scholar from the Central Plains, were responsible for the planning. There were more such as Master Qilin and many Kanyu masters participated.

After the Beimang Emperor City was built, first the royal family, nobles, and civil and military officials settled in. Later, various garrison troops were stationed outside the city, and their families moved in. The grandeur of Beimang Emperor's City is not inferior to that of Tai'an, Liyang Capital.

After establishing the capital, Empress Beimang still adopted the ancient system of four-season tent bowls and traveled around on inspection tours throughout the four seasons.

After Hong Jia fled north, Beimang changed again, with the Beimang Southern Dynasty and Xijing City, the center of the Southern Dynasty, as the accompanying capital.

Xijing City, originally named Jiasu City, was originally just an ordinary city modeled after the Central Plains. However, as Hong Jia fled north, a large number of scholars from the Spring and Autumn Period poured in, bringing with them Jiangnan courtyards, black tiles and white walls, farming and reading heirlooms, High crowns and belts, splendid long skirts, all kinds of food...

Later, as Xijing continued to expand, more and more local Longguan aristocrats and foreign new gentry each occupied half of the court. There was a system of three provinces and six ministries, and there were many talented people, and they were very beautiful.

This important town has gradually grown over the past twenty years, like a skinny little girl growing into a plump and beautiful woman.

Nowadays, Xijing City has become the core of Beimang, second only to the Imperial City. Even Empress Murong will come to this city several times a year to handle important matters.

This large vat was named "Stinging Mian". After she usurped the throne and proclaimed herself emperor and sat on the dragon throne, someone quietly entered the palace and reported to her that there was a dragon hibernating at the bottom of the vat.

Upon hearing this, Master Nanming, who was full of white hair but had a face as tender as a child, walked to the side of the Hidden Dragon Tank with a slender purple bamboo pole, stretched out the long pole at a place two feet above the water, and gently lifted it. Draw a small circle lightly.

Among them, there is not only Nanming Zhenren, who is second only to the national master Qilin Zhenren Yuan Qingshan in the Beimang Daode Sect, but also the number one Qi practitioner who has the most secretive identity but is the best at Fengjiao Divination, as well as the ancestors who have been here for generations. Yelu Guangzhu, a master of astrologers who deduced prophecies for the Beimang royal family.

This is a female eagle that is getting older day by day. She has been flying higher in the sky than all the eagles in the prairie for too long. She is naturally the ruler of the grassland, the emperor of Beimang, Empress Murong.

The old woman placed her hands on the edge of the cool, rounded vat, squinting her eyes and looking down at the vat of clear water.

In this building, there is a gray-black engraved dragon jar of unknown material. The jar is no more than half a person tall, but it is extremely huge and occupies most of the entire attic hall.

In addition to these nine people, the remaining few people followed her to Xijing today, including Taiping Ling of Beimang Qi Jian Yue Mansion, Jian Qi Jin, Qilin Zhenren of Daode Sect, Tuoba Bodhisattva, God of War, and so on.

Empress Murong led the crowd into the Xijing Palace. Under the careful guidance of the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, only some of them finally entered a quiet attic.

This centenary-year-old Taoist sect master said: "Based on his location, Zhao Dun is still in Tai'an City, but it can be seen that his luck is not good, and he must not have slept well recently."

At a glance, there is no wind or waves, the water is still, but it is uneven everywhere. It is difficult to tell whether there are dragons or not, but if you look carefully, you can vaguely see that there are many small carps of different colors hovering in the water without swimming.

The empress raised her head and looked around. There were nine people closest to the vat. They were all true hermits who had lived here for decades, and were powerful people in Beimang.

There was a group of people walking slowly on the deserted imperial road. The leader was an old woman. This old woman was wearing an old fox fur and her eyes were looking towards Beiliang, which was particularly deep and far-reaching.

Empress Murong asked softly: "Is Zhao Dun, the emperor of Liyang, still in Tai'an City?"

Empress Murong tapped the edge of the jar with her fingers and said with a smile: "I just know that at the age of destiny, I may die before an old woman like me. It's really pitiful."

"Of course, it was his Zhao family who brought it upon himself to do it."

"Xu Xiao endured the white-clothed case in Beijing back then, but the Zhao family was still unyielding, not even willing to give him a hereditary replacement." "It's better now. The stupid son of the Xu family has been hiding for so many years. Once something happens, he will He has done several big things and it is clear that he is ready to overthrow his throne.”

There was silence all around, and no one dared to answer.

The old woman asked again: "Is Xu Xiao still in Lingzhou City?"

Master Nanming used a purple bamboo pole to point to a place a few points further north than before, and said: "The King of Northern Liang is still in Liangdi. However, Chen Zhibao has gone north."

The old woman's expression became more solemn and she said: "Chen Zhibao, this young man who looks like a wolf will actually be surrendered by Xu Xiao's youngest son. These two people joining forces are the real trouble!"

"Where is Xu Longxiang?"

Empress Murong asked again, and Master Nanming quickly pointed to a vague location in the vat and explained: "Xu Longxiang is worthy of his reputation as the best in the world."

"For some of the top powerful people in the world, especially those who are close to land gods, their natal fish will disturb the water in the tank, making it difficult to distinguish its location."

"If Xu Longxiang hadn't personally led his army to the north during this period, constantly defeating our Beimang army, causing the energy to leak too much, his natal fish would not have been discovered by us..."

Empress Beimang asked again: "So, Xu Longxiang hasn't broken through to the land gods yet, right?"

Master Nanming nodded and said: "Yes, if you have become a land god, you will naturally jump out of the vat."

After answering this question, Empress Murong thought for a moment and said to herself: "Defeat Wang Xianzhi, slaughtered five thousand armors by one person, defeated a hundred thousand navy, and even before breaking through the land gods, they had such terrifying strength, and Chen Zhibao was impressed. Lead an army into our grassland and fight with blood all the way..."

"Xu Xiao's son is even more terrifying than his father."

The old woman sighed with emotion, pressed her thumb slightly hard on the edge of the tank, and said to herself: "Can we surround him and kill him before he can break through the land gods?"

"Your Majesty, this is difficult to do."

This time it was not Master Nanming who answered, but Master Qilin of the Taoist Sect, who said: "Xu Longxiang is not only a martial artist who can surpass Wang Xianzhi, but he also practices the three religions. Even the land gods in the martial arts realm are probably not him." opponent."

"He led his troops deep into the grassland. It's not like we in Beimang didn't try to encircle us, but he accurately controlled the flaws and defeated them one by one."

"Ordinary sieges are of no use to him, unless... forcing him to overcome the calamity... It is said that Xu Longxiang was born in the Vajra realm. If he breaks through the celestial realm, he will encounter a heavenly calamity. If he does not break through the land gods, he will probably face a heavenly calamity. If we …”

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the Hidden Dragon vat trembled and water overflowed. This strange movement interrupted Master Qilin's words. Everyone looked around and saw that the area that seemed to represent Xu Xin suddenly filled the sky with boiling water.

Master Nanming exclaimed in shock: "There are masters who are using dragon energy to target my Beimang energy..."

"I found it. Hey, you are all here?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the attic. Xu Xin's face appeared on the water surface of the Hidden Dragon Tank, looking at Empress Murong across the endless space.
