Chapter 2686: Prince of Guangdu

"Thank you."

Li Ji thanked Chen Yang, then leaned on the ground and stopped talking.

Chen Yang asked: "When will you leave?"

"Tomorrow."

Li Ji replied.

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll wait for you and we'll go together tomorrow."

The sun shines through the gaps in the dense forest, but it doesn't feel warm at all. Instead, it shines on the tombstone, making it look a bit sad.

After a night, Li Ji felt calmer. He asked Chen Yang, "Didn't you leave yesterday? Why are you back again?"

Chen Yang told Li Ji what had happened. After listening, Li Ji exclaimed: "You actually killed the lord of Xunyang City. He was an official appointed by the king and registered in the empire. It's okay to kill ordinary people. "You can kill imperial officials. This is a very serious matter and you will be hunted down by the empire."

"is it so serious?"

Chen Yang frowned.

Li Ji said in a deep voice: "The majesty of the empire is inviolable. Killing an official is a small matter, but despising the empire is a big deal. I'm afraid that a wanted order for you will be issued in Guangdu County soon."

Guangdu County is where Xunyang City is located, and is one of the thirty-six counties of the Tiansheng Empire in the Central Continent.

Chen Yang said: "Will it only be released in Guangdu County? As long as I leave, that's fine."

Li Ji said: "Generally speaking, wanted orders are only issued in Guangdu County. It depends on how much the prince attaches importance to Hu Wei, the city lord. If he is his confidant, he may report it to the royal family and issue a wanted order throughout the Central Continent. Order out."

"Xunyang City is just a small border town. Under normal circumstances, the city owner Hu Wei is by no means a confidant of the county king. This matter will at most cause some trouble in Guangdu County, and other counties should not be wanted."

Chen Yang analyzed: "In addition, the area of ​​​​Guangdu County is equivalent to half of the Western Continent, and the number of cities alone is as many as hundreds. If the lord of a small border town dies, even the King of Guangdu County may not have time to pay attention. , let the people below handle it.”

Li Ji nodded and said, "Your analysis makes sense."

Chen Yang said: "It makes sense, but it's better to be careful. I will temporarily change my appearance. I will regain my appearance after I leave Guangdu County."

After saying that, Chen Yang used the God of Creation Xiu Kung and kneaded his face a few times. His face became very ordinary, the kind that would not be noticed even if thrown into a crowd of people.

"What kind of skill is this? Just rub it on your face a few times to make it look better?"

Li Ji was shocked and said quickly: "You can also teach me."

Chen Yang thought for a while, and when the Lu family taught him, they didn't say that the God of Creation's power could not be passed on to others.

In this case, it doesn't matter if he passes it on to Li Ji himself.

He immediately taught Li Ji the God of Creation Xiu Gong, but Li Ji's understanding was not very good. After working on it for a long time, he made no progress at all.

"It's better to get on your way first."

Li Ji had to give up.

The two of them immediately set out on the road, heading towards the east of the Central Continent.

Before leaving, Li Ji glanced at Rongcai's tombstone, still missing it in his heart.

"Okay, let her rest in peace. Only if you live a good life will she rest in peace."

Chen Yang patted Li Ji's back and comforted him.

"well."

Li Ji sighed, then cheered up and said to Chen Yang, "You have changed your appearance. While you are in Guangdu County, you have to change your name."

Chen Yang said: "Let's call him Yang Chen."

…

Guangdu County Prefecture, Guangling City.

Guangling City is majestic, and any city in the Western Continent is not even one-tenth of its size.

The city wall alone, which is more than fifty meters high, seems to be built for giants. It stretches for hundreds of miles, like a long dragon lingering on the ground.

Flags were fluttering at the top of the city. In order to match the proportion of the city wall, these flags were more than ten meters high, and their wide flags fluttered in the wind.

Soldiers stood at the top of the city one after another, each with a majestic look, looking forward, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in their hands, motionless.

Hundreds of miles of city walls, tens of thousands of soldiers, and the concentration of fighting spirit gave the city a fierce aura that no one dared to invade.

I have to say that the Tiansheng Empire does have its own uniqueness, which can be seen just from the momentum of its soldiers.

The prosperity in Guangling City is not even comparable to that of the Western Continent.

Even Linyu City in Chiyin County is far behind.

In the very center of the city, there is a vast mansion, which is the Prince's Mansion of Guangling County.

According to the system of the Tiansheng Empire, the princes of the thirty-six counties are not hereditary, but change every five years and are appointed by the royal family.

Some were re-elected, while others were replaced.

The royal family who can serve as county kings are all the best among the huge Zuo family.

After all, Zuo Yinhan has been the Holy Emperor for thousands of years since the royal family has been developing. He has spread his branches and has thousands of descendants.

These royal families all enjoy abundant resources and high-level cultivation methods, and are much stronger than ordinary people of the same age.

Being able to stand out from these royal families is naturally a top qualification.

The position of county king is also something that countless royal families want to compete for.

Because if you sit in this position, you will not only have a high position and control a vast county, but you will also be able to obtain the supply of resources in the entire county, which will be of great benefit to your cultivation.

Therefore, every five-year election brings fierce competition within the royal family.

Of course, some people with outstanding talents can become county kings without spending much effort.

For top talents, the royal family will not bury them. This is a rule set by the Holy Emperor.

Even if there is overt and covert fighting within the royal family, this rule will not be violated.

The prince of Guangling County is such a top talent.

He was only 26 years old this year, and he became a county prince, breaking the record of the Tiansheng Empire and becoming the youngest county prince. He was full of vigor and ambition and achieved success at a young age.

At this time, eight days had passed since Chen Yang killed the lord of Xunyang City.

In the Guangdu County Prince's Mansion, a soldier rushed to the study and knelt on one knee: "Report to the county prince, there is an urgent matter from Xunyang City!"

In the study, a beautiful woman who was grinding ink heard the voice outside and smiled happily. She said to the young man who was practicing calligraphy: "County prince, it must be a letter from my father. Maybe he misses me."

This woman is very beautiful, and she is even more moving when she smiles.

The county prince was interrupted halfway through writing, but he was not angry. He picked up the pen and said to the woman beside him: "Xiu Yan, if you miss your father-in-law, I will accompany you home to visit your relatives."

This young county prince, handsome and dignified, is Zuo Xingyue.

I saw that the words on his desk, although only half written, revealed a strong fluctuation of true energy.

It turned out that he was not practicing calligraphy, but practicing martial arts.

The woman called Xiuyan took Zuo Xingyue's hand and said with a smile: "Prince, let's take a look at what's urgent in Xunyang City first. Maybe it's something important, not that my father misses me."

"Xunyang City is in a remote corner and lacks resources. It's really not a good place. In my opinion, when will the father-in-law be transferred to Guangling City? At worst, it's better to transfer the father-in-law to Wangbai City next to Guangling."

Zuo Xingyue led Xiuyan out of the study. Although he was only 26 years old, his momentum was very steady. His every move revealed a strong power.

PS: Thank you for the support of the book friends. I'm always worried about the system problems recently. I'm always nervous. Fortunately, there are no random chapters repeated in the past two days. Buddha bless yogurt!
