The Yang Kingdom was destroyed in one battle, and the Yang Region was absorbed into the Qi Qi territory. Dingyao and Pingxi Commanderies lost most of their significance as border commanderies.
The Qiu Offense Army was the absolute elite of Da Qi and one of the Nine Soldiers. They couldn't stay in the Yang Region for long. They had returned to prevent the other countries bordering the Yang Region from panicking.
The border troops of Dingyao and Pingxi Commanderies moved to the Yang Region.
Most of the Yang Kingdom's capable soldiers were slaughtered, and there wouldn't be any resistance for the next ten years. This was why the Qi Qi could appoint old officials like Huang Yixing without worry.
If the Yang Region still couldn't submit after ten years, then there was no need for these town envoys to exist.
Ten miles away from Qingyang Town, two people rode on the official road.
Even though Jiang Wang and Zhong Xuan Sheng were already at the Soaring Dragon Realm and were capable of flying in the sky, it was still safer to ride a horse that had the bloodline of a demon beast in it.
They didn't know what they would encounter on this trip to Linzi. Jung Genzun wasn't an opponent they could underestimate. They needed to maintain their peak combat power at all times to deal with any possibilities.
Demonic beasts were rare, and a mature demonic beast was equivalent to a Meridian Unlocking Pill. Therefore, horses with mixed demonic beast blood were very expensive. Now that Chung Geng Sheng's reputation was different, he could use two horses in the Yang Region.
The steed, which was equivalent to a demonic beast, was even more priceless than the Meridian Unlocking Pill.
As the two rode past, a shiny bald head popped out from the forest beside the road.
It was Monk Jingli.
He scratched his head awkwardly. "Master said that monks should be merciful and not argue with people face to face. If you're angered, you should be beaten."
"But this fatty coaxed Junior Brother Jingshen to come with him. I can't take revenge."
He hung his head dejectedly and put away the tattered sack in his hand.
…
On the other hand, Jiang Wang and Chung Geng Sheng rode side by side without stopping. They passed through the prefectures and rushed to Linzi in the shortest time possible.
As the capital of Qi, Linzi was undoubtedly the most majestic city in the Eastern Region.
Disregarding the capital region, just Linzi City itself had a circumference of three hundred and twenty li!
What kind of concept was that?
One must know that the entire Zhuang Country was only three thousand miles in size. Of course, as the country's strength increased, its territory had also expanded. However, it still hadn't exceeded four thousand miles in size.
Meanwhile, Linzi alone was already more than a tenth of the Zhuang Country of the past.
There was a saying in the Eastern Region: "You don't know how high the city is until you reach it. You won't know how insignificant you are until you reach the city walls. "
He was talking about Linzi.
Since it was said to be near the Zi River, naturally it was impossible to jump over the Zi River.
The meaning of Linzi was "East of Linzi River".
The Zi River was probably the only river in the modern world that had nothing to do with the Long River System.
Previously, it was mentioned that the Long River was the "Boundless Sea in the Land". It was also the "Mother River", the "Ancestral River", and the "Source of the Inland River".
Most of the great rivers and lakes in the world were inextricably linked to the long river.
The Zi River was isolated outside of the river system, majestic as it flowed east into the sea.
Let's not talk about Zi He first.
With the size of Linzi, there were a total of one hundred and eight city gates.
Many people who lived in the city might not know where these city gates opened.
Chung Geng Sheng brought Jiang Wang into the city through the Xin Gate.
Linzi's one hundred and eight city gates had "Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Faith", "Technique, Influence, and Discipline", and "Gathering and Passing".
It showed the all-inclusive nature of Qiang Qi.
Standing under Linzi City, one couldn't help but have doubts. Was such a majestic city really built by human strength?
Standing under the city, one couldn't see the end of it. Actually, when this huge city appeared in one's line of sight, one could only see a cross-section.
Unless an Extraordinaire flew far away and exhausted their eyesight, it would be very difficult to see the whole picture.
The greenish-black stone slabs of the city gave Jiang Wang a feeling that they were indestructible. The fine formation patterns engraved on each stone slabs were even more shocking.
Even if the State of Qi were to be completely defeated one day, anyone who had seen Linzi with their own eyes would find it hard to believe that anyone could take down this majestic city!
Apart from the elders of the Jiang Imperial Family, there were very few people who could clearly describe the layout of the entire Linzi City.
Needless to say, Chung Geng Sheng's identity and Jiang Wang also had a noble title. They only needed to leave their horses outside the city, so it wasn't difficult for them to enter.
The moment they entered Linzi City, it was like they had bumped into a sea of people. There were people everywhere, densely packed.
There was a phrase called "Rubbing shoulders". Only when they arrived at Linzi did they know that this phrase was very apt.
Jiang Wang traveled east for tens of thousands of miles, passing through many countries and sects, but he had never seen such a bustling place.
If not for the fact that he and Chung Geng Sheng's cultivation were good, they might have lost each other.
What was called "Vast Sea of People"?
The moment he entered the sea of people, Jiang Wang's sword intent jumped around. Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Swords, the third sword was the Vast Sea of People. Without seeing such people, how could it be considered perfect?
Cultivation really required experience.
Jiang Wang carefully comprehended as he followed Chung Geng Sheng forward.
On the way to Linzi, they didn't rest at all. Chung Geng Sheng's impatience could be seen.
However, when they arrived at Linzi City, he didn't immediately go to the Jubao Merchants. Instead, he first brought Jiang Wang to a luxurious inn.
"The more impatient you are, the more you can't let the opponent see that you are impatient." Chung Geng Sheng said to Jiang Wang.
This inn wasn't his own residence in Linzi, nor was it his property in Linzi.
He had people book an inn in Linzi in advance to cover up the news. Of course, it couldn't be completely covered up, but it was still a moment.
The two changed into decent clothes, washed off the dust from the journey, and specially ate some food and wine.
Only then did Chung Geng Sheng decide to go out.
The merchants were different from the other sects. What they needed was a lively atmosphere.
The headquarters of the Jubao Merchants was located in the most prosperous area in the west of the city, right at the intersection.
Many people in Linzi would be familiar with this cornucopie-like building complex. However, it wasn't so easy to enter this "cornucopia".
Of course, there was no reason for Chung Geng Sheng to be stopped outside the cornucopia, even if the cooperation between the two sides had already broken down and they might even become enemies.
The person who personally came to receive them was the Jubao Merchants' vice president, Cheng Shiyi.
In the entire Jubao Merchants, there were only two vice presidents below the president. This reception couldn't be said to not be grand.
However, to Chung Geng Sheng …
This fatty wore a low-key green gown. Of course, the white silk woven into the gown secretly showed off a noble aura.
Moreover, he was boldly "squeezed" into the seat, not at all low-key.
He was sitting in the guest seat, but he seemed to be the owner of this place.
The middle-aged woman opposite him was about to sit down.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "President Su, why are you embarrassed to meet an old friend?"
The wrinkles at the corners of Cheng Shiyi's eyes were hard to hide, but they didn't lose their charm. To be able to sit as the vice president of the Jubao Merchants, she naturally wouldn't be easily suppressed by Chung Geng Sheng.
Hearing this, she glanced at Jiang Wang. "Young master Chongxuan has known the hero who killed General Ji Cheng for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen this handsome young man. You must be the young hero who took the Ji clan's battle flag?"
Jiang Wang was wearing a frost-colored martial robe today. The material was also of the highest quality. His medium-long hair was simply tied up, looking neat and clean.
Clothes make the man. After tidying up, he indeed looked more heroic.
At this moment, he was silently sitting to the side. His confidence was hidden between his brows, but he wasn't ostentatious.
Hearing Cheng Shiyi's words, he only smiled lightly, as if he didn't hear anything.
Even if it was rare for someone to praise him for being handsome, even if the person who praised him was still so charming, one must know that the word "handsome" had never been used on him before. In the end, Chung Geng Sheng was still the most suitable. When he invited Lian Que to accompany him, he would probably be even more handsome!
His meaning was very clear.
No matter who you are, no matter how beautiful you are. Answer Chung Geng Sheng's question first, then I'll talk to you.
