Dashang's problem was far beyond what Xiang Que, Huang Zaozao, and Nan Sijin imagined, and it was more complicated than what they thought when they came here.
The interior of the Great Shang Imperial City is complicated. The Yan royal family has the secrets of the immortal ancestors, and it also involves the Taixu Palace behind it.
Xiang Que still has some knowledge about Taixu Palace. When he first came to Dongtian Paradise, he had some involvement with them, but it was not very deep. It's not much related anymore.
However, the opponent is in the same camp as the Yellow River Valley, Tianzhou, and Sanqing Temple. Generally speaking, Qingshan can't pee in the same pot with them. They are not enemies, and it is absolutely impossible to become allies.
After discussing outside the city for a while, they haven't settled on a tone for the time being. The rest can only be discussed after entering the city, but Yan Ruyu must not go in first. Once she enters the city and is discovered, then they will have no chance.
Therefore, when entering the imperial city, Duke Wei accompanied Xiang Que and Huang to enter early, while Nan Sijin and Yan Ruyu temporarily stayed outside the city to wait for opportunities.
When Huang Zaozao and Xiang Que followed Wei Gong towards the imperial city, Yan Ruyu suddenly sighed quietly and said, "It's really cheap for her."
"Huh?" Nan Sijin looked at her puzzled.
"We have been fighting wits and courage to seduce that guy along the way. He is very smart. He neither pampered anyone alone nor shared the rain and dew. That's all right now. He and the witch entered the city together. Without us Watching from the side, Xiang Que belongs to her alone, cunning guy" Yan Ruyu said angrily.
Nan Sijin brushed her hair indifferently, and said arrogantly: "You can enjoy it as you like, as long as you don't spoil it to death. Anyway, it's agreed, I can just make it bigger. Who wants to compete with you?" go"
Yan Ruyu suddenly looked confused: ""
"You belong to me alone, and no one can take it away from me anymore," Huang Zaozao said, blinking slyly.
Xiang Que sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, don't worry, I can finally sleep well."
Huang Zaozao narrowed his eyes and said, "Sleep well? You're thinking too much."
Xiang Que: ""
? In front of the gate of the Imperial City of Dashang, it looks like it¡¯s gone when you look at it from a distance, but when you look at it when you get close, the bigness of Dashang really lives up to its reputation.
The city gate alone is about four or five stories high, and the heavy city gate may not be easily blasted open even with explosives.
The rammed soil on the city wall covered the blue bricks, about one and a half meters thick, and more than ten meters higher than the city gate.
As far as the level of defense is concerned, if it is placed in ancient times, it may be difficult to break through.
On both sides of the city gate are heavily armed sergeants, all standing upright holding spears and swords and halberds in their hands, looking back and forth at the passing pedestrians.
There is no need for any procedures to enter the big business, but no matter whether it is an individual or a caravan, you need to pay the amount of spirit stones. Xiang Que made a rough estimate, just like the number of people entering the city now, if there are four or five in a day If it keeps like this for a whole hour, Dashang's income in this area alone will be considerable in a year.
When I came to the city, I suddenly realized that there was a moat in front of me, which should surround the entire imperial city. The river was very wide, but I couldn't see a single merchant ship, all of which were military ships with the Great Merchant logo. Wei Gong introduced that this river does not allow foreign ships to enter, and it is used as a defense against large merchants. Opposite the moat is a wide square with a row of portrait sculptures placed on it. He actually saw Yan Huang's figure, and the surface of the statue is surrounded by a faint purple aura.
This is a statue of the kings of the Great Shang Dynasty.
There is a thriving and prosperous scene in the city. It is more prosperous than any city Xiang Que has ever seen. If I have to describe it, it seems to be much better than Chang'an City in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. It must be the rhythm of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
The security measures in the city seem to be very strict, and from time to time there will be teams of city guards patrolling back and forth, examining the passers-by.
"The city guards and the imperial guards belong to the First Prince," Duke Wei said.
"Isn't this equivalent to having the most cutting-edge military power of the entire Dashang under his control?" Xiang Que asked in surprise.
"About half of it"
"Then what strength does Her Royal Highness have? Don't tell me that apart from her brain and face, she has no power in her hands." Xiang Que began to worry vaguely whether Yan Ruyu was a polished commander, so they foughtIf so, it will be very difficult.
Wei Gong smiled and said: "Yan Huang is a person who knows how to balance, yes to all the courtiers, and the same to the prince's children, the eldest prince controls the imperial guards and the city guards, while the princess has the East and West in her hands. The town army has the largest number of troops in the Great Merchants, and the other two princes also have a team in their hands, but they are not as good as the first prince and the princess. In the middle of the court, each has two chief assistants to support the two of them , one of them is the princess' uncle"
Xiang Que and Huang Zao heard about the strength in Yan Ruyu's hands, so they were relieved. This was better than they expected, and the strength was still quite huge.
"As for masters, it's like Dao Dao and Crossing the Tribulation Period. How many people can the First Prince have in his hands?" Xiang Que asked with a frown.
"I don't know the exact number. I have been with the eldest prince all year round. The two elders from the Taixu Hall are responsible for his safety. They are both at the Dao stage. There are at least two strong men in the tribulation stage in his mansion." Duke Wei Said.
"You can't go to the princess mansion for the time being, the eldest prince and the other two princes will be watching. I will arrange another house for you, which is closer to the palace. That is the house I bought, and there is only one person on weekdays. The gatekeeper is here, no one will notice there"
After a while, Duke Wei led the two of them to a quiet house, which was indeed very close to the palace, so close that there was only a street and a courtyard wall separated, even after Xiang Que and Huang came in early, they really felt it. , the serious atmosphere in the palace.
At the same time, in the prince's mansion of the imperial palace, the eldest prince Yan Zhenming was receiving a visitor, who was the top-ranked one among the thirteen hall masters of Taixu Hall.
"Master Liang, what letter did you send me?" the eldest prince asked softly.
"There is only one meaning, be sure to take control of the Great Merchant Imperial City in the shortest possible time, that is to sayyou must be enthroned immediately"
