Chapter 084 Chieftains Majesty

The current government of Siming Mansion is vaguely visible in Haiyuan City. The reason why it is called "now" is because the former government of Siming Mansion was farther west. Later, due to some reasons that cannot be explained in a few words, it was transferred to

Here, Haiyuan City was built.

Haiyuan City is located in the south of Mingjiang River. To the northeast outside the city is a moat and several watchtowers. To the southwest is a river with the streamline of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword flowing through it. The location of Haiyuan City is just at Dadaowan.

Judging from the terrain, it is indeed a strategic location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Haiyuan City was considered an important transportation place at this time, and the number of tourists traveling from south to north was second to none in southern Guangxi. The market day every three days was very lively, with star anise being sold, and the bells of the rosin caravans jingling non-stop.

The stream of teams continued, and wooden and bamboo rafts on the river were anchored at the river pier to replenish food and supplies.

Due to the large floating population coming and going, the catering and inn industries here have flourished. There are many businessmen doing business in Haiyuan City, and there are also many rich people. Among the richest people, except for the local prefect Huang,

In addition, there are people living on the main street. The houses on both sides of the main street, especially the streets, are mostly blue brick houses, which is rare in Guinan at this time.

However, the most spectacular and majestic thing on the street is the Tu Zhifu Yamen. Since the establishment of Haiyuan City, it has always been a symbol of the power of the Huang clan and Guinan Tu emperor.

Although Haiyuan City is a mountainous city, the more than ten villages outside Haiyuan City are mostly plains and hills. The land is fertile and the water resources are particularly good. Most of them are fertile fields with guaranteed harvests despite droughts and floods. It is a transportation hub connecting various places in southern Guangxi.

It is connected to Taiping Prefecture in the north, Lianzhou Prefecture in the east, Zhennanguan in the west, and Anbang Town in the south (this is a town in Annan, similar to the prefecture level in the Ming Dynasty).

However, Gao Pragmatic still has doubts about the word "Haiyuan" in "Haiyuan City". This place is obviously a mountainous area in Guinan, and it has to be two hundred miles away from the nearest sea - Beibu Gulf (called Zhuchi at this time).

Where did the words "yuan" and "haiyuan" come from?

However, Huang Zhiting, a landowner, quickly told him the reason. It turned out that there was a big pool to the west of Haiyuan City. This pool was not only large in area, but also quite deep. It was called Haiyuan by the native people of southern Guangxi.

Huang Zhiting also proudly said that her swimming skills were developed in "Haiyuan".

Gao Pangshi had traveled nearly a thousand miles with her, and although they had not been together for a long time, he was already familiar with her, and he didn't have much fear now. Moreover, he found that Huang Zhiting seemed to be more accepting of his harmless jokes, so he had fewer worries when speaking.

After listening to Huang Zhiting's words, Gao Pragmatic directly teased: "You are not afraid of someone suddenly popping up in the water."

Huang Zhiting's face suddenly turned red. If it weren't for the fact that there was already a group of wolf soldiers following her, she would have had a serious argument with Gao Pragmatic.

But at this moment, I have no choice but to say with itching teeth: "This is Siming Mansion! When I am playing in the abyss of the sea, I will naturally send people to clear the place. Who dares to seek death?"

Oh, that's true.

Gao pragmatic nodded and said with a smile: "I forgot that this is your family's territory."

"Hmph, it's good that you know. I'd like to remind you that even if you are not afraid of snakes and insects, I still have many ways to manipulate you. Don't make the mistake of yourself."

"How about pinching?" Gao Pingshi touched his chin, which had no beard at all: "I didn't expect this girl to have this skill. I prefer pinching my back. Look, girl..."

"Go to hell!" Huang Zhiting was ashamed and annoyed. She glanced around quietly. Fortunately, these wolf soldiers she was used to leading were all very eye-catching. They looked at each one intently and seemed to turn a deaf ear to these words. Especially Huang.

Tiger, he walked in front with a normal expression. Apart from the corners of his eyebrows twitching twice, he showed no reaction at all.

Speaking of which, Huang Hu had worked hard all the way. After he and Master Cen Qi parted ways, he had been trying every means to trace Huang Zhiting. After finding the clues, he hurriedly followed slowly. It was not until he caught up with Bazhai that he found out that his eldest lady and that

Mr. Zhang has already set off for Siming Mansion.

Huang Hu was one of the generals of the Siming Mansion. He was not the strongest in terms of leading troops, but because his martial arts skills were the best in Guinan, he was often sent by Huang Chengzu to protect Huang Zhiting. Therefore, he was quite sure of the route Huang Zhiting would choose. Sure enough, he chased for three more days.

After that, they finally caught up with Huang Zhiting and Gao Pangshi in Sien Mansion.

So there was not much to say, and they naturally escorted the eldest lady all the way south. For Huang Zhiting and Gao Pragmatic, Huang Hu's appearance also helped them solve a big trouble-the two of them were penniless and had to eat wild food all the way.

Guo had been away for nearly ten days and only had two meals in Luoyu Village, which made me feel like I was feeling dumb.

"Hahahaha..." Gao Pingshi laughed, and it seemed that he didn't take this earth princess seriously at all, but Huang Zhiting seemed to have no way to deal with him, except for snorting coldly, and there was nothing more to say.

Huang Hu listened in front of his head and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: Miss, aunt, you must not fall in love with this Kuangsheng. Although he has a reputation as a scholar, that thing is top-notch in the eyes of the Huang family.

What's the matter? Even if the prefect gives him a quota, he may not be able to fill the gap in Guangxi. What use does such a person have to the Huang family?

You are the apple of our magistrate's eye, and you will most likely be married to another big chieftain by then. It doesn't matter who your partner will be right now, but it's better than messing with this crazy person!

However, although Huang Hu thought this way, he did not dare to mention it to Huang Zhiting. After all, the rule of the chieftain was completely different from that of the imperial court. The chieftain took life and death from the native people under his rule. The rules were very strict. The eldest lady loved it.

Only the prefect can control who she deals with, and even her brothers have no say.

Although his surname is Huang, his family was not considered a chieftain a hundred years ago, and his bloodline is so far away that he dares to talk too much.

While Gao Jingshi and Huang Zhiting were chatting and making trouble, the group of people had already arrived at the gate of Haiyuan City. In fact, although Haiyuan City is considered a big city in southern Guangxi, in Gao Jingshi's eyes, its size and prosperity are too small.

It's just about the same level as Xinzheng County. There is only one thing that far exceeds Xinzheng County, and that is city defense.

Haiyuan City is backed by the Mingjiang River, and its city walls are also quite tall and strong. Although they are not comparable to the fortifications of Datong City, which is like a huge city, but in Guangxi, it is probably not inferior to Liuzhou, and second only to Guilin.

This is already a huge project for Siming Mansion, which has no support from the imperial court and only relies on the financial resources of the government. It is unknown how much sweat the local people of Siming Mansion put into building it.

Huang Zhiting, the eldest chieftain lady, was not as shy as the ladies from the Central Plains and refused to show her face. She just entered the city in a swaggering manner under the guard of more than two hundred wolf soldiers.

What particularly stunned Gao Pingshi was the reaction of the local people after they saw the flag representing her identity. When they saw the flag from afar, they quickly ran to the roadside and knelt down, kowtowed their heads on the ground, and waited for the wolf soldiers to appear.

After walking in front of him, he began to kowtow non-stop, and did not stop kowtowing until the shadow of the last wolf soldier in the team disappeared from in front of him. But even now he did not dare to raise his head, let alone stand up. He had to wait for a while before he dared to start from

Get up from the ground.

During the whole process, no native people dared to raise their heads and look at Huang Zhiting. Huang Zhiting did not even look at these kneeling native people. It was obvious that she had become accustomed to it.

Gao Pragmatic has only one feeling: Damn it, this rule is bigger than meeting the emperor!

Fortunately, although there were many people in Haiyuan City, it was not very big. It didn't take long for us to walk along the main street from the south gate to the prefect's Yamen in the north - which is the Huangfu.
