Demon Gazing City
Demon Gazing City was the last city in the south of Tianyu Province. The Forest of Illusions, which bordered the Demon Race, was the Great Tang's first line of defense against the Demon Race.
As the last province in the south of the Tang dynasty, Tianyu Province belonged to the border province. The distance between the cities was much greater than the distance between the cities in the mainland. It took Tang Jin and his party more than a month to cross Tianyu Province and reach the north gate of Demon Gazing City.
Standing outside the Demon Gazing City's North City Gate, Tang Jin and the others were stunned as they looked at the towering city walls.
Tang Jin had read the history books of the Tang dynasty. He knew that Demon Gazing City was the link between the Tang dynasty and the Demon Race. The city wall was extremely tall and was the first line of defense against the Demon Race. He didn't think much of it when he read about it in the books. But when he saw the city wall face to face, Tang Jin was shocked by the towering city wall.
One zhang was equivalent to 3.3 meters. A hundred zhang was nearly 340 meters. It could be seen that the city wall of Demon Gazing City was so huge that it was beyond human imagination.
The obsidian stone plaque above the north gate was engraved with three blood-red words: Demon Gazing City.
According to the history books, the three words on the stone plaque of Demon Gazing City were written with the blood essence of the Demon Race's Loose Immortal level Demon Race. It had the effect of deterring thousands of demons.
Whether it was true or not, Tang Jin didn't know.
They rode to the city gate and habitually wanted to go in. But they were stopped by the city guards at the gate.
"Gentlemen, please get off your horses. A frontier city is not like other places. "The city guards seemed to have noticed that they were not ordinary, so they spoke very politely.
After hearing this, Tang Jin nodded and said nothing. He jumped off his horse and led it forward. No matter how bad Tang Jin's character was, he would not trouble his own soldiers in front of an "outsider" like Hua Chonglou.
Seeing Tang Jin get off his horse, Hua Chonglou and the others also jumped off their horses and led their horses into Demon Gazing City.
The tall city wall and the corridor alone were more than 50 meters long. If it weren't for the luminous stones hanging in the corridor, people would not be able to see the surroundings clearly.
In the city, there were many people in long gowns or tight clothes. Most of them were young masters in brocade robes with several guards behind them. Just like Tang Jin and Hua Chonglou.
"It seems that many people have heard the news that the Immortal tomb is about to open." Hua Chonglou looked at the people on the street and sighed.
Along the way, Tang Jin and the others saw some youngsters rushing towards the Forest of Illusions. They either rushed there on their own or brought many guards with them.
The news of the appearance of the immortal tomb had spread far and wide. Moreover, the cultivation level requirement was that one must be below the Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, the young people of the continent treated this trip as a chance to gain experience and compete with the other young talents of the continent.
"That's right." Tang Jin nodded.
After more than a month, Tang Jin and Hua Chonglou were already familiar with each other and had a good relationship. At least on the surface.
At this time, Gong Lei, who was beside Hua Manlou, stepped forward and said, "Young master, Wang Ye. Today is February 19th. There is still half a year before the Immortal Tomb opens. The inns in Demon Gazing City should not be full yet. Shall we find an inn to stay in first? "
The Immortal Tomb was about to open. There were too many people coming and going, and Demon Gazing City was south of the Tang dynasty. The last city was adjacent to the Forest of Illusions. Therefore, Demon Gazing City was an essential transit point to the Forest of Illusions. There were too many people coming this time. Hua Manlou was not sure if the inns in Demon Gazing City were full.
Hearing Gong Lei's words, Hua Manlou smiled. "Why should we find an inn? Let's buy a courtyard in Demon Gazing City. Anyway, Demon Gazing City is close to the Forest of Illusions. I will definitely come to the Forest of Illusions in the future. Buying a courtyard will be a place to rest. It won't cost much anyway. "
In fact, these big families and sects all had a certain amount of property in Demon Gazing City.
After all, the Demon Gazing City was the southern barrier of the Tang Empire, a fortress that blocked the Demon Race. It was essential for the various sects and clans to grasp this information immediately. However, Tang Jin was here, so Hua Manlou couldn't say anything. If he said it, wouldn't it be the same as telling Tang Jin where he had planted spies in his family?
Shaking his head, Tang Jin said indifferently, "Why go through so much trouble? Just live in the Provincial Supervisor's office in Tianyu Province. "
"This is not good." Hearing Tang Jin's words, Hua Chonglou's eyes lit up, but he seemed to be in a difficult position.
"What's not good about it? It's settled! "After saying that, Tang Jin led everyone to the center of Demon Gazing City.
The provincial capitals of the Tang dynasty's internal provinces were basically in the center of each province. Only the eastern, southern, and western frontier provinces had their provincial capitals at the outermost cities of the Tang dynasty. First, the largest city in each frontier province was the frontier city at the outermost edge. Second, the Provincial Supervisor was personally in charge of the frontier city, which could make the best defense when foreign enemies invaded.
And the Provincial Supervisor of Tianyu Province, Bai Hechou, was guarding Demon Gazing City.
Outside the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The soldiers guarding the gate stopped Tang Jin and the others. "The Provincial Supervisor's Mansion is an important place. Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter. If you have something to say, please say it. We have to go in and report first. "
Tang Jin took out the Heavenly Dragon Token expressionlessly and said to the soldier guarding the gate, "Take us in."
"Heavenly Dragon Token!" The soldier guarding the gate saw the token in Tang Jin's hand and couldn't help but exclaim. Then, he immediately turned to the soldier beside him and said anxiously, "Quickly go and tell the Provincial Supervisor that the King Of Heaven is here! Quickly! "
"Ah? Okay! "The soldier who was still in a daze woke up and quickly nodded and ran into the mansion.
Seeing that someone had already gone in to inform the Provincial Supervisor, the soldier guarding the gate turned his head and respectfully said to Tang Jin, "Greetings, Wang Ye! This little one will bring Wang Ye in. "
Tang Jin nodded and followed the soldier inside.
The news that the Prince Of Tang came out from Dingtian Capital and went all the way south to the Demon Clan's Immortal Tomb has already spread. When the soldier guarding the gate saw a young man holding the Heavenly Dragon Token and wanting to see the Provincial Supervisor, he naturally knew that it was Tang Jin who went all the way south to Demon Gazing City! So, he immediately ordered someone to go in and inform the Provincial Supervisor.
The Provincial Supervisor of Tian Gu Province, Bai Hechou, was a calm and intelligent person who was good at military management. His talent and cultivation were also very high, and he was deeply favored by the Emperor. So, he was sent to this side of the border province to guard the southern gate of the Tang dynasty. If the Provincial Supervisors of the 36 provinces of the Tang dynasty were the Emperor's trusted aides, then the Provincial Supervisors of these three border provinces were the most trusted of the Emperor's trusted aides.
The difference between the Provincial Supervisors of the border provinces and the Provincial Supervisors of the other provinces was that the Provincial Supervisors of the internal provinces could only be regarded as the Emperor's eyes in the other provinces, but the Provincial Supervisors of the border provinces had the power of life and death in their own provinces! When encountering some things, such as discovering that a city lord had committed a crime and had already died, as long as there was enough evidence, they could act first and report later! The Provincial Supervisors of the internal provinces were on equal footing with the city lords of their own provinces. If Yang Yaoyan didn't have Tang Jin by his side, he would never have dared to be so arrogant in front of Tang Liang. On the other hand, the Provincial Supervisors of the border provinces were a level higher than the city lords of their own provinces!
Therefore, the Provincial Supervisors of the border provinces were on the same level as those of the internal provinces. A series of footsteps could be heard from inside, and then a young man trotted out with a group of soldiers and civil servants.
The young man leading the group had a serious and cold face, without a trace of expression. He was wearing a white robe, with an imperial jade belt around his waist, and a high crown on his head. His face was white without any facial hair, but the two strands of hair on his temples were snow white. After seeing Tang Jin, there was a slight fluctuation in his calm eyes, but his face was still cold. He walked up to Tang Jin, cupped his hands, and half-knelt: "The Provincial Supervisor of Tian Gu Province, Bai Hechou, greets the King Of Heaven. May Wang Ye live forever and never grow old. May he have the same fortune as the Heavens. "
"May Wang Ye live forever and never grow old. May he have the same fortune as the Heavens." The people around followed Bai Hechou and paid their respects to Tang Jin.
"Okay, get up." Tang Jin looked at Bai Hechou, knowing that he was naturally cold, and didn't care.
Bai Hechou led everyone to get up and replied: "Thank you, Wang Ye."
"Thank you, Wang Ye."
Although Bai Hechou looked like a twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old young man, his real age was more than a thousand years old! His cultivation was already at the Great Ascension stage. It's just that his innate talent was very good, and his cultivation was fast, so he could maintain his youthful appearance.
As Wang Ye of the Tang dynasty, Tang Jin specially investigated Bai Hechou's file before coming here. He learned that Bai Hechou's aptitude was Ice Spirit Root, 8.5 segments.
Everyone walked to the main hall of the city lord's mansion, and Tang Jin naturally sat in the main seat.
Bai Hechou stood to the side and didn't sit. Hua Zhonglou and the others saw that the host didn't sit, so they also didn't sit. Everyone sat to the side.
Taking a sip of the freshly brewed tea on the table, he glanced at everyone and waved his hand casually: "Sit down, no need to be so polite."
"Yes."
Hearing Tang Jin's words, Bai Hechou cupped his hands. To Take The Lead and sit on the first seat to Tang Jin's right. He waved his hand and signaled for the officials behind him to sit down.
Seeing Tang Jin sit down, Hua Zhonglou smiled and sat on the first seat to Tang Jin's left. Behind him sat the people who came with Tang Jin.
"Chonglou, you should know Governor Bai already, so I won't introduce him." Seeing everyone sit down, Tang Jin looked at Hua Zhonglou and said. Then he pointed at Hua Zhonglou and turned to Bai Hechou: "This is Penglai Immortal Palace's Hua Gate's Young Master, Hua Zhonglou."
"Young Master Hua, I've heard a lot about you." Bai Hechou cupped his hands and greeted Hua Zhonglou.
Seeing Bai Hechou greet him, Hua Zhonglou put on his signature smile: "I've heard a lot about you, Governor Bai. I've heard a lot about you in the sect domain …"
Hua Zhonglou was never stingy with his smile for people he could use.
