Raising the Demon

Chapter 658

In the land of demons and immortals, Qingshiling, in the east of Matou City, a huge gate tower stands tall, with three words written on it: "Jijian Forest".

Matou City used to be just a small town in Zaitianzhou, in the southeast of Matou Mountain.And Matou Mountain is just a lonely mountain in the wasteland, neither high nor big, extremely desolate.A watchtower was built on Matou Mountain, and a low wall was built outside the city to defend against wild beasts and robbers. Even if the three or four earth barriers were all the fortifications, there were only a hundred people at most.

Such a small city, on the wasteland of Zaitianfu, I don't know how many more, most of them have been turned into ruins with the passage of time.

The prosperity of Matou City is all due to the original Ma Boss.

The west gate of Matou City is the main entrance, and every time the caravan of Matou City departs, it will tie a red silk on the big tree outside the west gate.

At this time, the shade of the big tree covered half of Matou City, and the fluttering silk has become a part of the big tree, deep and shallow, new and old, layer upon layer.

Over time, Matou City now has four gates.

The fourth city gate, the east gate, is "The Noise of Jijian Forest". It connects the kingdom of demons and Mengcheng. People come and go, making this east-west main street extremely prosperous.

It was on such an afternoon that Gong Yiping walked through the hustle and bustle of Jijian Forest and came to Matou City.

The sight is the red silk tree and the bustling street scene.

"Wow..." Gong Yiping sighed like a country bumpkin who entered the city for the first time, watching the sudden change in front of him, into a completely different scene.

Beside him, General Yu tried his best to look reserved, but he still couldn't help being slightly absent-minded.

And the officials who were with them were all tongue-tied and unable to move for a while.

The people coming and going were already familiar with it. They bypassed the petrified group of people and walked into the crowd very calmly and gracefully, with a sense of superiority in their movements.

Gong Yiping came from Zhuan'er Kingdom to the Kingdom of Demon Immortals as a guard of the envoy, and the scale of this envoy was very small, apart from three or five envoys, there were only a few guards, as well as him and General Yu.

The reason why their mission came to the kingdom of demons and immortals as a mission is to show that they represent the will of the country.

But the choice of personnel, but more consideration of human relations.

The reason for this staffing is simple, they are here for help.

Looking for Zi Baifeng for help, in fact, the best candidate is Fujun.

But if the Fujun came, it was not like asking for help, but like coercion. Facing Zi Baifeng, King Zhuan thought a lot and was very complicated.

Zi Baifeng was no longer the original Zi Baifeng, and the relationship between them and Zi Baifeng had already been reversed.

Therefore, in the end, the result fell on General Yu, who was a little further away.

As for Gong Yiping, he was a backup method. His identity was more complicated. He was a member of Zhuaner Kingdom, but at the same time he was also the guard of Zi Baifeng's mansion. Strictly speaking, he was Zi Baifeng's subordinate.

This kind of subtle selection really made Zhuan Erguo take great pains, because they can only succeed and not fail when they come here this time.

In order not to cause problems, General Yu and the others took a cloud boat from Xijing to Mengcheng, and then came directly to the kingdom of demons without stopping.

They really had no time to lose.

When they arrived in Matou City, they went straight to the county government office in Matou City.

An official received them and told them the unfortunate news: "The lord has left the kingdom of demons and immortals. No one knows exactly where he went, and he can't tell when he will come back."

"What about Luoqianshan?" General Yu asked hastily.

"I went together too. Lord Yan Xiaolei is in charge of the family now. Why don't you wait a moment and I'll send someone to send a message to Lord Yan Xiaolei?" the official said.

"That's the only way..." General Yu was so disappointed that he couldn't help but wonder if Zi Baifeng knew they were coming, so he hid?
After thinking about it, how could they have the virtue to let the majestic demons hide from them?If Zi Baifeng was very busy and would not have time to see them until a few days later, they would have nothing to say and could only wait.

But this feeling is not very good.

When facing various problems, people are always prone to worry about gain and loss, and once worry about gain and loss, it is easy to think too much.Even officials' promises seemed to them to be prevarication.

"Where is Lord Yan Xiaolei? How about we go find them?" an accompanying official asked.In his heart, he was also worried that this was just an official's prevarication, so he just waited, and he didn't know how long he would wait.

"Master Yan is in Shanshui City, which is far away from here. If you want to go, you need to take the cloud ship." The official said, "You can go to take the ferry, which departs every morning and afternoon, and the afternoon shift should leave in an hour. gone."

"You still have cloud warships here?" The officials of the mission immediately widened their eyes when they heard what the officials of the county government said.

Even in Xijing, it is rare to see cloud ships, even cloud boats are rare.

At the beginning, King Zhuan and the others spent a lot of money to rent a dilapidated cloud ship in order to come to participate in the Fairy Fairy Conference, which made them very heartbroken.

"Yes, there is a cloud ship." The official smiled faintly, showing no signs of happiness or anger. He was an official of the Zhuaner Kingdom before, and he knew what kind of life the Zhuaner Kingdom lived, but looking back now , there is not even a cloud ship, how pitiful and ridiculous that kind of life is.

"There are cloud warships in such a small city. This kingdom of demons really lives up to its reputation." The official of the mission sighed, "How many people can there be in such a small town? Isn't this cloud warship going to lose money?"

Even though they were well-trained and tested, the officials of the county government almost laughed out loud.

"The hustle and bustle of Jijian Forest" does not allow cloud ships and cloud boats to pass through, so there are not many cloud ships and cloud boats in Matou City. Most of the cloud ships and cloud boats will stop at the airport outside the city. There are at least dozens of cloud warships flying up and down, so it's really not a big deal.

The cloud ship is indeed losing money, because the shipping fee is very low, and the distance between several cities is too far. If you want to connect several cities, you must reduce the shipping fee.

Anyway, the Kingdom of Cloud Ships and Demon Immortals can be built by itself, and there are plenty of jade stones. The cost is evenly distributed, and it is pitifully low. It would be good to do it as a public welfare undertaking.

"Where do you come from? Isn't it Xijing? I remember that although Xijing has nothing to do with our fairy country, it has always been connected with Mengcheng, right? Did you go shopping when you arrived in Mengcheng?" The official and a few They chatted with each other, neither humble nor overbearing, very comfortable.

In the words, there are some doubts.

If you come from Mengcheng, you shouldn't be such a country bumpkin, making a fuss about everything you see.

If it is said that Mengcheng still has a subordinate relationship with Zhuaner Kingdom, then the Yaoxian Kingdom has a completely different system. Even if these people have high positions in Zhuaner Kingdom, they really have no privileges in the Yaoxian Kingdom. .

Hearing the subtext in the official's words, General Yu's lips trembled, and he said, "I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to go shopping."

"That's right, in our Fairyland and Mengcheng, there have only been more clouds, boats and ships in recent months." The official, who used to be an official of Shanshui City, recalled, "That is, three months ago, we Only Shanshui City can build its own Yunzhou Yunjian, but now it has expanded its production capacity three times, and I have also reserved a Yunzhou for family use, and the goods can be picked up in three to five days."

The faces of several mission officials were not very good-looking. When they came, they actually thought that there would be something good in the bitter cold land of the Northern Kingdom?It must be a desolate place where mountains and rivers are at the end of the mountain, maybe this time I will suffer a lot.

But who would have thought that when they came, they would be treated as bumpkins instead.

This difference comes entirely from the speed of development.

For General Yu and the others, the development of a city should be recorded in ten years or even a hundred years.

But for these cities under Zi Baifeng's command, the development is changing with each passing day.

Although Mengcheng and Xijing have been connected by water, it is still a long distance.In the past, the exchanges between the two parties were based on years, but now they are more frequent and based on months.

While speaking, the official suddenly said: "Master Yan has already received the news. He ordered me to take all the adults for a stroll in Matou City first, and settle down temporarily. Master Yan will come over to meet you after finishing the work at hand."

"What?" Hearing this official say that, even General Yu was shocked.

They chattered here for a while, thinking about whether to leave early so that the official could write and deliver the letter quickly, otherwise they might have to wait another three to five days.

The official said with a smile: "Don't look at me like this, I have practiced for some days. According to the regulations of our fairy kingdom, the chief officials of all places must practice the Dharma door of the Post Road Sect'such as the beacon fire ascending the heights'. After practicing this Dharma door, A simple message can be sent to the disciples of the Yilu Sect who are in charge of delivering the message, and it can be delivered after a few transfers, which is very fast."

Listening to the official's seemingly modest but in fact ostentatious words, several people complained in their hearts at the same time: "Hurry up, sister!"

But if you don't accept it, it's too fast.

"Come on, my lords, let's go to Matou City first." The official led the way first, without guards, and led the people out all the way, and greeted many people with a smile on the way, very easy-going and friendly.

"Our Matou City is responsible for connecting the kingdom of demons and Mengcheng, so the most people in Matou City are merchants. In our Matou City, there are all kinds of merchants. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. But recently The most famous place in Toucheng is the 'Sword City'."

"Jianshi? What's that?" General Yu asked, relieved when he heard that Yan Xiaolei was coming.

The official just wanted to explain, but when he looked back, he smiled.

Gong Yiping was standing in front of a stall.

It is said to be a stall, but in fact it is just a piece of cloth spread in front of it, with no goods on it, and only four words written: "For sale."

Gong Yiping was very puzzled, and asked the young man sitting behind the cloth: "It's for sale, boss, what are you selling?"

The young man looked up at him and gestured at himself: "Sell me."

Gong Yiping suddenly had a chill all over his body.
