An official from a hundred households was actually accompanied by more than 30 imperial guards. The imperial guards were under the direct control of the emperor and only accepted the emperor's orders. Could it be that this person was actually a member of the royal family.
A small leader of the Peicheng City Guards shuddered all over. He looked at the identity document and saw the word "Jins" written on it. Oh dear, isn't the surname Jin the surname of the royal family? He hurriedly put Li Si's name on it.
He handed back the identity documents with both hands, respectfully performed a military salute to his superiors, and said: "I don't know that your Excellency is here, and I am so indifferent and indifferent. I dare to ask Your Excellency if there is anything I can do for you."
Li Si smiled and said: "You're welcome, we are going to Dachuguan and passing through Peicheng. We plan to stay here for one night. Could you please help me arrange a place for us?"
The little boss was flattered when he saw how kindly he spoke, and he hurriedly agreed to take Li Si to the inn in person.
Qiao Lu, the captain of the Imperial Guard, whispered: "Your Highness does not need to be so polite to him, just give him orders,"
The little head who was walking in front trembled when he heard the word "Your Highness".
Li Si smiled and said: "Only by respecting others can you be respected by others. Why do you have to use a arrogant way to gain the awe of others? What we want is not the hypocrisy of being obedient to you on the surface but having cursed you countless times behind your back.
We all work for the empire, and the division of labor is just different. We should respect it. Besides, we are all born and raised by our parents. We are not any more noble than others. There is no harm in being polite."
Qiao Lu responded repeatedly, flattering a few words at the same time, but thinking in his heart, you were very crazy when you were in the imperial city. As soon as you arrived in Nuoyang, you killed the soul fighter who was the confidant of the Minister of Defense, and also took away the sweetheart of the third prince.
If you kidnap and run away, you will become a humble gentleman again.
Probably because of Li Si's words, the always arrogant Imperial Guards restrained themselves a lot. Peicheng was the first stop after leaving Nuoyang. The Imperial Guards who implemented military orders and settled in Peicheng, the little leader and the waiters at the inn.
I have seen quite a few of them, but this is the first time I have seen such courteous guards. The service was extremely considerate. Many of the more than 30 guards were used to traveling, so they naturally felt welcomed.
The difference is that I have repeatedly realized what Li Si said, "Only by respecting others can you gain respect from others." Along the way, I have learned a lot and felt a lot.
After walking northwest for several days, the desolation along the way became more and more desolate. I didn't feel it in Nuoyang and the cities near Nuoyang. The closer I got to Dachu Pass, the more it looked like the old society, with commerce declining and few people.
, when I asked someone about it, I found out that the Weight Empire had reached a state of panic. Dachu Pass was jointly defended by the Yuwen Clan and the Tang Clan. In order to increase the army's food reserves and soldiers, they searched for food and captured young men along the way. The emperor was far away.
, and with the advent of troubled times, they naturally tried their best to accumulate strength. Many small clans chose to join one of the camps under coercion and inducement. In fact, about three hundred miles away from Dumenguan, basically all cities and villages have already
It is no longer under the control of the imperial court.
The wealthy south was originally the territory of the Jin Clan and the Li Clan. Due to the disaster of alien monsters in Tiangui, Jincheng Wen had to abandon the south in order to protect himself. The Jin Clan all evacuated to Shihuguan and Baizhang among the seven dangerous passes in the north.
Within the pass, yes, the northeastern part of the Weight Empire is already filled with golden clans belonging to the emperor's family. The northeastern part is far away from the sky and away from danger, but it has caused the Yuwen Clan and Tang Clan to become more and more powerful. Now, the northern part of the Weight Empire has
The layout has changed to the Three Kingdoms era. The northeast belongs to the Jin Clan, the southeast belongs to the Tang Clan, and the northwest region belongs to the Yuwen Clan. Of course, this is Li Si's own distribution of forces. This is a very dangerous situation. If the alien monsters are eliminated,
The Code Empire is very likely to split. The Jin clan's territory has been stabilized, but it has also lost control of the northwest and southeast. Jin Chengwen has thrown himself into this ambiguous situation. This is really not a problem for Li Si.
Good thing.
However, Li Sizhi was not here. Although he could see clearly along the way, it had nothing to do with him. He just hung up and waited until he reached the Great Chu Pass in the northwest. He was about to leave the Weight Empire and go to the Chigu Empire in the west.
After traveling for another two days, Li Si and his party finally entered Youlan City, an important military town within the Dachu Pass.
The Yuwen Clan deployed 500,000 troops in Youlan City, which effectively curbed the offensive of the alien monsters outside the pass. The Tang Clan was guarding Liyang Pass in the southeast. Because Liyang Pass was not intruded by the alien monsters for the time being, the Tang Clan had a much easier time. , and also sent a force of 3,000 men to support Dachu Pass.
Among the Yuwen Clan, there is an important person named Yuwen Bubai, who is the president of the General Guild of Soul Fighters of the Weight Empire. Therefore, the strength of the Yuwen Clan's Soul Fighters is very impressive, and any first-level Soul Fighter can division, its strength can also be equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, among the three gates of the Weight Empire now, the Yuwen Valve is the strongest. If it weren’t for the alien monsters outside the Dachu Pass that held back the Yuwen Valve, it would be hard to imagine what would happen to the Weight Empire. As for the Tang Vale, because of its large territory In the Yangtze River area, Xiangcheng and Huancheng are extremely wealthy places. The Tang Clan has become the force with the most resources. What they lack most is soul fighters, but they don't have much, just money. In the Tang Clan, On the other hand, the treatment of soul fighting masters is very good, and because of this matter, the Tang clan and the Yuwen clan are hostile to each other. Finally, the Jin clan is where the emperor is. The Jin clan has the largest territory now, and it is backed by Tianjia Mountain and is entrenched in a dangerous position. They can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Even though they have not directly faced the alien monsters, they still have strong power to deal with everything. Jinchengwen can be his emperor steadily because of this, but Li Si can also guess that Jinchengwen is against The Yuwen clan and the Tang clan are very afraid of each other. If the two clans join forces, it will be difficult for the Jin clan to resist it. Even if it can be blocked, if the weight empire suffers such a catastrophe, it will be swallowed up by neighboring countries if it is not destroyed by alien monsters. This situation is indeed extremely subtle, but it also leads to a distorted balance.
Li Si and his party showed their identity documents at the gate of Youlan City. The guards of Youlan City immediately let them into the city and placed them at the inn. After resting for a day, Li Si began to think about how to get out of Dachu Pass.
He didn't know what was outside Dachu Pass. There was no Internet search engine in this world. He was about to ask Qiaolu and the others to find out. Suddenly, there was the sound of running footsteps outside the room, and he heard a guard soldier shouting loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, something happened, something happened,"
Li Si was startled. Could it be that the Dachu Pass was not defended?
The Imperial Guard soldier's name was Chen Dongji. When he ran to the door of Li Si's room, he staggered and almost fell. His eyes were blood-red, his cheekbones were as swollen as steamed buns, his face was deformed, and his body was covered in mud and tatters.
Li Si said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Chen Dongji breathed heavily and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, our people were beaten on the street, and there are soul fighters on the other side."
