11. White Jade City
11. Baiyu City
Baiyu City is the capital of the capital of the White Jade Dynasty today. It is a new city built by millions of workers in three years. It is five times larger than the old capital, almost equivalent to three large cities.
Because it is a new city, the architectural planning is very neat and there is no slight chaos.
And because it is Kyoto, I didn’t see any beggars here.
Almost everyone is dressed brightly.
Lu Li put down the curtain on the carriage, frowned slightly, and then sighed for a moment: "Xuanwu Palace, such a big deal."
When Qiao Yunfei heard this, he laughed: "I don't have much work. Can the emperor spend so much time building this new city? This new city has a large ban. It is said that any practitioner who enters the city will have to be knocked down by two or three realms. Only those who hold talisman orders can ignore this interference. So, in the capital, you cannot do it at will."
Lu Li smiled and did not respond.
He knew that Qiao Yunfei's words were true, but unfortunately, this kind of ban was of no use to him.
A large array of prohibitions like Xuanwu Palace has been linked to the entire capital. Any cultivator will be suppressed by the formation when he enters the city. Only those who hold talisman orders can not be suppressed by this kind of restriction. However, there is another type of person who can ignore this kind of restriction, that is, cultivators with cultivation above the fairyland. For those who have begun to contact and use the laws of heaven, the restriction of the formation does not exist in their eyes.
However, usually no big man who goes to the fairyland will come to the secular world to cause trouble, because even for the Taoist world, big man who goes to the fairyland is a legend that is out of reach, let alone for mortals in the secular world?
But there are always exceptions in everything.
And Lu Li is this exception.
After meeting and chatting with Qiao Yunfei in Hanshui City that day, Qiao Yunfei immediately organized personnel that afternoon and rushed to Baiyu City in a hurry. It was supposed to be a journey of one month, but it took only half a month to arrive. In addition, the secret whistle, diners and guests in Hanshui City's mansion were almost all dispatched. It was difficult for a huge team to not attract attention.
Qiao Yunfei has lived in Hanshui City for twenty years. Even though the new Kyoto was completed three years ago, the emperor gave Qiao Yunfei a mansion on Xuanwu Street. Qiao Yunfei did not come to Beijing to meet the saint, but his sister Qiao Yue was responsible for handling. After that, Qiao Yue was naturally responsible for all the affairs of the Qiao family in Xinjing. This woman who had no martial arts or Taoism had versatile management skills, so Qiao Yunfei was also relieved of this sister.
But on this day, Qiao Yunfei's car suddenly entered Beijing, and it was still so majestic. Everyone was extremely shocked. Even if the assessment date for the freshman of Xuanwu Palace Academy was approaching, Qiao Yunfei's eldest daughter had to participate in this assessment, there was no reason to make a sensational scene. When his eldest son Qiao Xuan came to participate in the college assessment, he was just escorted by two Qiao family guests with Yin and Yang realm cultivation.
Therefore, everyone is wondering whether something happened to the Qiao family? Otherwise, why would Qiao Yunfei suddenly come to Beijing?
But no matter how the outside world speculates or speculates, Qiao Yunfei ignored it along the way.
His lifestyle is the same. He should take the exam for his two daughters' courses and scold him. He should eat and sleep naturally.
The convoy entered through the city gate in a mighty manner, and then met the Qiao family who came to greet him. Qiao Yue personally led the tribe and the ward, which made Qiao Yunfei's car even more massive. After all, it was one of the seven major families of the White Jade Dynasty. Even if Qiao Yunfei was unwilling to do this face project, it would still have to be done, otherwise it would be looked down upon by others who were waiting to see him laughing at him.
Lu Li doesn't like this hypocritical way of doing things.
Especially since he practiced the laws of the free heaven, he emphasized how to do whatever he wanted, so he became even more impatient with this practice.
Qiao Yunfei also knew Lu Li's mood at this moment, which was the reason why he would rush all the way. After entering the city, when he saw his sister Qiao Yue, Qiao Yunfei said lightly: "Don't go home for now, we will go to Ouyang Mansion."
Qiao Yue was slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything. She nodded and gave instructions to the others. Then the vast team turned around in the third inner city and walked towards the east end of Xuanwu Street.
There are four circular walls in the entire Baiyu City. The innermost city is the palace of the current Baiyu Dynasty. The circle centered on the palace is divided into four streets, named after the Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
The entire Qinglong Street is all under the Xuanwu Palace Academy. If the college students pass the assessment at the age of fifteen, they will have to live here for five years. Although the academy has only been established for four years, there are quite a few college students in the academy. The two streets of Baihu and Zhuque are the residences where ministers, generals and marquis live in the court and military department, such as the residence of Zhao Zhong, the mansion of the Wu family, and the residence of Baihu Street and Zhuque Street respectively; as for Xuanwu Street, there are only the remaining five major families or wealthy people, powerful and wealthy people with status, who can afford it.
The Qiao family’s mansion is in the middle of Xuanwu Street, while the Ouyang family and Li family’s mansions are respectively on the street and at the end of the street.
The inner city palace and the first ring city are the real concentration of powerful people in the entire White Jade Dynasty. Therefore, the dynasty's Yulin Army is guarded by the dynasty's Yulin Army, which is a real place for crouching tigers, hidden dragons. What's more, the imperial guards and imperial guards in the imperial city are not vegetarians. These are soldiers who have truly survived the turmoil after those years. The murderous aura and hostility are very heavy, and the combat experience is also extremely rich.
As for the Second Ring City and the Third Ring City, the importance of these two places is not that high, but these two places are the real prosperous places of the entire Baiyu City. However, even if the importance is not as important as the Imperial Palace and the First Ring City, this place is the capital of the White Jade Dynasty after all, so there is no need to worry about public security issues. Moreover, compared with other places, the Second and Third Ring City are also places of crouching tigers, hidden dragons.
The vast convoy quickly attracted the attention of the residents in the city, but no one followed behind the convoy, and even the security army in the city did not come out. This phenomenon made Lu Li feel a little curious. However, after Qiao Yunfei's explanation, Lu Li finally realized that it turned out that the large family with status like them also felt very difficult to govern the army in the city, and the Yulin Army was generally responsible for handling it.
The team quickly passed by the streets of the Third Ring City, entered the Second Ring City, and walked towards Xuanwu Street of the First Ring City.
In the first ring city, except for the emergency military newspaper, anyone else must dismount.
So when Qiao Yunfei's huge team entered the first ring of cities, except for the people in the carriage, everyone else did not guard the gate, the Yulin Army, who asked to dismount. No one resisted or had no arrogant attitude. Everyone silently implemented this rule.
Lu Li's spiritual sense slightly released, and soon noticed that the Yulin Army guarding the gate all had the fourth level of immortality, which was definitely impossible in the White Jade Dynasty. But now this is the minimum standard for the Yulin Army of the White Jade Dynasty, and the standards of the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard are said to be even higher.
After the routine inspection, everyone was released, but there were thirty Yulin soldiers in the team. Although they were nominally escorting Qiao Yunfei back to their homes, everyone knew that this was to prevent Qiao Yunfei from suddenly causing something.
However, even with the Yulin Army accompanying him, Qiao Yunfei had no plans to change his mind.
When the mighty team stopped at the door of Ouyang Mansion, everyone looked at it, and the faces of the several servants guarding the door of Ouyang Mansion changed instantly. Everyone, including Qiao Yue and a group of guests, diners, etc., no one knew why Qiao Yunfei stopped here, but as the guard of the Qiao family, since Qiao Yunfei decided to stop here, they could only obey.
"Qiao Yunfei, what are you doing?" Soon, a roar like thunder came out of Ouyang's mansion.
Immediately afterwards, the closed-door middle door of Ouyang Mansion was opened.
This is a giant door about ten feet high. Basically, there is a middle door in the mansions in the first ring of cities. Usually, the middle door will only be open when welcoming guests or some major events happen. At this moment, the middle door of Ouyang Mansion is wide open, so it is naturally impossible to welcome Qiao Yunfei, because a large number of servants, guards, and thugs all rushed out of Ouyang Mansion and confronted the people of the Qiao family.
The atmosphere in the field became full of gunpowder at this moment.
Qiao Yunfei glanced at Lu Li's face and saw that he still looked calm and light, so he felt a little relieved in his heart and immediately said, "I'm not doing anything, I just go home today and want to see an old friend."
In fact, although the Qiao family has a great career, in terms of the quality of the guest officials and thugs in the family, it is really not as good as the brothels and gambling houses, and occupy almost the entire White Jade Dynasty post station and the underground underworld Ouyang family. Almost every year, many retired soldiers from the army are invited back by the Ouyang family. In terms of combat power alone, the Ouyang family is second only to the Zhao family among the seven major families.
"Old friend? Which old friend?" A middle-aged man came out in a row. There was a scar on his face, which fell straight from his forehead and cut through half of his face, looking extremely ferocious.
"Lu Xin, who married your third grandson seventeen years ago," Qiao Yunfei said lightly, turned his head and said to Lu Li; "This person is the current head of the Ouyang family. Ouyang Li is a cruel and ruthless person. He once served as the General of the Western Expedition. Later, due to delaying military aircraft, he failed in a battle. However, the emperor conceived his great work, so he pardoned him... But now, it should be the emperor's instructor, otherwise how could he rule the underground forces of the entire White Jade Dynasty?"
Lu Li was too lazy to wait for Ouyang Li to reply. His spiritual sense had completely expanded and enveloped the entire Ouyang Mansion.
In a corner of the mansion, Lu Li found two extremely familiar auras, one of which was Lu Xin and the other of which was Lu Yi.
However, his face became extremely ugly the moment after his spiritual consciousness was completely unfolded, and his gloomy face was full of anger!
