I have a city in another world

Chapter 6656: Few Horses and Carriages Outside Hanhai City
Leaving Green Water City and heading east for 280 miles, you will reach the outskirts of Hanhai Prefecture.

Hanhai Prefecture has a total population of 170,000. There are many fertile fields and lakes nearby, a winding mud river, fertile fields and pastures along the coast, and countless cattle and sheep.

There are also countless red poplars, which are extremely drought-resistant and can live for a thousand years. They will not rot or fall down for a thousand years after they die. In autumn, when the yellow leaves fall, the riverside trees are as gorgeous as fire. It is a beautiful sight to travel by boat through the river...

Tang Zhen had read written records about Hanhai Prefecture in the government office of Lushui City and knew that this place had a history of thousands of years.

There used to be an ancient country in the desert, and Hanhaizhoufu was a must-pass place. It had prospered and declined several times, and the vicissitudes of history could be seen everywhere in and outside the city.

A great war once broke out in an area between the two cities, which happened to be hit by a strong sandstorm, resulting in the burial of nearly ten thousand soldiers there.

Whenever strong winds blow, bones can often be seen exposed, scattered in patches across the desert.

If you are lucky enough, you may be able to pick up armor and weapons. Although they have been through thousands of years, they have not been corroded or damaged. You can take them to the blacksmith shop to exchange for money, or polish them for your own use.

There are many similar things in the nearby villages, but not many people care about them.

After Tang Zhen left the city, he rode a horse and walked slowly on the official road.

In the past, Green Water City was almost deserted, resulting in fewer and fewer pedestrians.

In recent days, the Hanhai Prefecture has closed the roads, and there is no one to be seen along the way.

Anyone who leaves the blockaded area must undergo strict screening, and if there is anything wrong they will be sent directly to prison.

This order brought misery to the people in the nearby villages. They could not go to the city and had no access to many daily necessities.

Despite numerous pleas, the government remained silent.

Since this order was issued directly by a monk, all officials in Hanhai Prefecture had to obey it.

The emperor sent a special envoy to provide services to the immortal master, and even dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers and thousands of cavalry.

Stationed outside the Hanhai Prefecture, they can go into battle at any time with just a command.

Such a large-scale event has frightened the people of Hanhai Prefecture. Now they are cautious in what they say and do, for fear that they might accidentally violate a taboo and end up with their families destroyed.

How would the common people know that the army was not targeting them, and the monks did not care about what the common people thought.

The monks gathered here just to defend Green Water City and resist the invasion of evil demons from outer space.

Ever since the incident in Green Water City, cultivators from all sides have retreated to Hanhai Prefecture, and a front-line command center was established.

Although various forces have promised to participate in the action against the evil demons from outer space, up to now, most of the sects and monks have not sent any personnel to take action.

When Master Wuque learned about this, he was so angry that he cursed loudly, but there was nothing he could do.

If things really get badly rifted, and everyone is left to their own devices, the Northwest Monks Alliance will definitely suffer.

Now we still have to rely on all parties to provide assistance rather than standing idly by.

Although no eggs will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned, there are always people who take chances and think that bad things will not happen to them.

When they really encounter it, they will cry out to the sky and hope for help and sympathy.

In fact, the main reason is that they are unclear about the strength of the evil demons from outer space, and they are also afraid of the mysterious disappearance of the monks from the Qiankun Sect.

Before this, the Qiankun Sect had been constantly spreading the word about the horror of the evil demons from outer space, which was also the reason why cultivators from all sides took active action.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits.

Now that they have suffered, they will naturally avoid and retreat. Since their own interests are not harmed, they are even more unwilling to provoke the evil demons from outer space.

If because of this incident, we are targeted by the evil demons from outer space, it would be extremely depressing.

Since Green Water City was at their doorstep, the monks of the Northwest Alliance were forced to take action and prepare to establish a line of resistance.

However, anyone who has been to Green Water City and escaped from that sandstorm would not want to face the evil demons from outer space again.

The terrifying skeleton dragon and all kinds of frightening images made the monks terrified.

If I had worse luck, I would have been buried under the yellow sand long ago.

Although all parties have repeatedly requested that Green Water City must be monitored at all times, it would be best to sneak into the city for investigation.

The allied monks of Hanhaizhou Prefecture will not seriously implement the agreement, as that would be simply courting death.

When taking action, they just did it perfunctorily and did not dare to really get close to Green Water City.

When the traces of the giant skeleton dragon appeared fifty miles outside Green Water City, the monks who participated in the investigation were frightened out of their wits, fearing that they would be targeted and become food for the giant skeleton dragon.

Such a horrific monster was unheard of in the past, and everyone who saw it was shocked.

After encountering the giant skeleton dragon, the monks of Hanhai Prefecture became more cautious and did not dare to continue close reconnaissance.

Why not just build a few checkpoints outside Hanhai City and pretend to intercept them?

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that interception and inspection only makes things difficult for ordinary people and cannot stop powerful practitioners at all.

There are some things that are useless but must be done, otherwise people will definitely talk about them.

On the road to Hanhai Prefecture, groups of soldiers stood guard on the roadside, looking numbly at the desert area.

They guarded this place for five days, during which time they stopped more than a dozen groups of civilians and sent twelve of them to prison.

After checking their identities and confirming that they were nearby villagers, they were allowed to leave and go home.

After the news spread, the people in the nearby villages did not dare to enter the city easily.

In the past two days, there has been no one to be seen from morning to night, not even a flying bird.

The soldiers all knew that if a lot of people showed up, that would be real trouble.

It was now close to noon and the sun had become extremely hot, making people dizzy and dizzy.

The soldiers hid under the awning and planned to wait until the shift change and then go to a tavern on the edge of the city to have a couple of drinks.

Some people are also thinking of going to dark alleys to find prostitutes to relieve their sexual desire. It is said that a batch of good ones have just arrived recently.

It is said that there is an immortal master sitting in the tent in the distance, but he never shows up from beginning to end.

Just as the soldiers were chatting, a black dot appeared in the distance. Upon closer inspection, they saw someone on horseback approaching quickly.

"Who are you? Stop immediately!"

Upon seeing this, the soldier on duty immediately waved his spear and ordered the other party to dismount for inspection.

On the wooden tower next to it, there was a soldier drawing his bow and drawing an arrow, and another soldier stringing a crossbow.

Although there was only one man and one horse, these soldiers acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy and looked at the rider nervously.

Just because the other person's expression and dress are completely different from those of ordinary people, you can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.

In this special period, we must be extra vigilant when encountering such suspicious people.

The officer on duty looked at the calm rider and felt more and more that something was wrong.

Without hesitation, he struck the gong beside him.

The clear sound of the gong made the soldiers' hearts tighten and their emotions became more tense.

The gong will not be struck unless there is an emergency, but it also represents a notification to the Immortal Master.

The moment the gong sounded, the tent in the distance was opened and three figures rushed out.

But in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the checkpoint, staring coldly at the soldiers and riders.

At this moment, the soldiers suddenly felt much more at ease. The three immortal masters gave them enough courage.

However, these three monks were secretly regretting that they should not have rushed out rashly.

It was because they couldn't see through the rider in front of them, but they clearly felt that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Especially the clothes on her body, which have a distinct exotic style and the materials are gorgeous and unique.

If you look closely, you can see many delicate runes hidden in the corners of the robes.

Although it is impossible to sense his strength or level, judging from his clothing and temperament, I guess that he is most likely a cultivator.

"Please tell me where you are from and where you are going!"

The leading monk from the sect asked in a cold voice, while staring at Tang Zhen intently.

He didn't know why, but when he saw Tang Zhen's calm expression, he always felt uneasy and frightened.
