Chapter 118 The prosperous scene of the inner city, the commander of the Tiantian Division! The inner city is prosperous, with heavy traffic and people coming and going. There are shops on both sides of the streets. From teahouses, restaurants, brothels and other places, there were sounds of laughter and lively conversation. Continuing forward, after crossing another street, we saw stalls on both sides, filled with a dazzling array of goods, including musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and paintings, sheng, flute, qin, as well as various ornaments such as pearl flowers and jade hairpins. The aroma wafted into my nose, it was from the roadside wonton stall. There was a peddler passing by, pushing a cart with many fruits covered in syrup, looking like candied haws. The shop in front is unloading goods. Lin Yan took a closer look and found that it was silk from a business outside the city. All the best quality ones have been transported to the inner city. Going further, there are butcher shops, granaries, salt shops, fishing shops, cooking utensils shops, and blacksmith shops.

Continuing forward, we saw an even more spectacular and elegantly decorated...brothel! After crossing another street, the smell of cosmetics hit my nose. I turned my head and saw several rouge and powder shops. There were elegant women and girls there, obviously from good families. "Make way...make way..." A few young men rode by and shouted, "Let's go to the hunting ground in the second block of the outer city and see whose bow is the best! Let me tell you, this bow in my hand is my father's treasured collection, it can be called a divine weapon. If I don't hunt thirty prey today, I will lose!" "..." Lin Yan pulled the horse with a calm expression. He looked at these proud and indulgent young men of rich families riding their horses past him, stirring up a strong wind. The little white ape clicked his tongue and said, "The sword worn on the waist as an ornament and the bow and arrow used for hunting and fun...are not inferior to the standard-bearing sword and the small crossbow in the master's hand." As for the weapons in the hands of ordinary small flags, day and night patrols, and city defense soldiers, they are far from comparable to them. If you really compare it, it can only be regarded as scrap metal. “This is the inner city.” Lin Yan muttered to himself in a complicated tone. But at this moment, I saw many people around me looking at me strangely. When we were far away, we could hear people whispering, "Another one from out of town, never seen the world." "When will the city defense be put on martial law? Don't let those bumpkins from the outer city come in. They pollute the eyes and ruin our mood." "Forget it. I lost twelve taels of silver yesterday. I have to go to the gambling house today and win it back." "You just ran into those peasants from the outer city. I'm afraid you're going to have bad luck. Why don't you go to the brothel and have some fun today?" "Alright." The sound faded away. Lin Yan rode his horse and continued forward.

Suddenly he paused, turned his horse's head, came to the front of those people, looked down, and said calmly: "Kneel down, kowtow, apologize, and let this matter go." "Bastard!" "Why should we kowtow and apologize?" When those people heard this, they were all furious and were about to step forward. Lin Yan drew out his sword and said calmly, "Not convinced? Try my sword?" When several people saw this, their faces changed drastically and they became frightened. Upon closer inspection, I saw a flag next to the horse. That is the flag of the Chief Envoy of the Heavenly Supervision Department! In an instant, several people were shocked and quickly knelt down, kowtowed continuously, and begged for mercy. "Being born in the inner city means you are just lucky." Lin Yan rode forward and said calmly, "But apart from luck, what are your strengths that allow you to be superior to others and look down on all living beings?" He walked past several people and walked forward, sighing in his heart: "The atmosphere in the inner city is much more corrupt than I imagined." He also didn't expect that a few words would change the long-standing sense of superiority of these inner-city residents. But after killing the evil spirit last night and seeing the miserable condition and poverty of the people in the outer city, I couldn't help but feel a little angry. He sighed, and transmitted this anger into the Nirvana Divine Egg. "Master, I'm going to kill them!" The little white ape suddenly spoke up, angrily saying, "This is too much! The people in the outer city are fighting against the darkness and protecting them. They are just trash and scum, they don't deserve to live!" "Alright, Master, I'm not angry anymore. Let's go to the Heavenly Guardian Office first." Lin Yan said calmly: "These guys just said something rude, their crime is not punishable by death... Although I hate them, I am not a bloodthirsty person. I can't just draw my sword and kill people just because of a disagreement." He glanced at them and thought to himself, "If they really want to kill people for this reason, I'm afraid they'll have to kill half of the people in the inner city." He let out a breath, looking at this prosperous world, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed. If he were to be reborn in the inner city and awaken his wisdom, he might feel that he was born in a prosperous ancient era and might even avoid being exposed to the evil spirits of darkness. But he was born in the outer city, experienced the erosion of darkness, and faced the dangers of evil spirits. Especially yesterday, before killing the evil spirit, the various districts in the outer city that I saw were like two different worlds in contrast to what I saw today. - Gaoliu Inner City is a complete city of considerable size. In Lin Yan's eyes, whether in terms of land area, population size, or prosperity, it is probably not inferior to the Chang'an City of the ancient Tang Dynasty in his previous life. After all, there is endless darkness and evil in the outside world. This city was built with the efforts of generations of human ancestors, countless casualties, and great efforts!

In the entire Qifeng Prefecture, Gaoliu City is second only to the prefectural capital! This is one of the most important foundations of the human race! Early this morning, Lin Yan went directly into the inner city from the Outer South Division. Then we walked from the edge of the inner city to the main building of the Tianjiansi. It was already afternoon. This was when he entered the city on horseback. If an ordinary person walked, it would probably take two or three days. "Master, we have been walking for most of the day. How far have we come?" "It's just ahead. The tallest building is the headquarters of Gaoliu City's Tianjiansi." Lin Yan looked up and ahead and responded. "Isn't it said that the tallest building in Gaoliu City is the Guantian Tower?" The little white ape couldn't help but asked in surprise. "The Guantian Tower is located in the center of the inner city." Lin Yan replied. "We entered the city from the south, but we haven't reached the center of the inner city yet?" the little white ape asked in surprise. "This is the southern part of the inner city." Lin Yan said calmly: "We entered the city from the south and have not yet left the southern area..." "The inner city is so big?" the little white ape asked in surprise. "It was still not big enough." Lin Yan said, "So, later we expanded the outer city." "But now we want to expand the new city?" the little white ape asked puzzledly. "That means it's not big enough." Lin Yan said lightly. “How big is considered big?” the little white ape thought for a moment and asked. “It will never be big enough.” Lin Yan shook his head and said, “Unless Liu Zun’s roots can spread to the entire world, otherwise… no matter how big Gaoliu City is, it can’t protect all the human race in the world!” "Master, you said that after the new city is expanded, will the people in the outer city be treated the same as those in the inner city in the future?" asked the little white ape. "do not know." Lin Yan looked at the Tianshi in front of him and said slowly: "Maybe there is someone in front who can give us the real answer." Ride your horse and move forward. Then I saw the tall building of the Astronomical Bureau getting closer and closer. "He who comes is stopped!" There are sixteen teams around the headquarters of the Tianjian Division, which take turns patrolling day and night. The leader is the flag bearer, who leads twelve small flags. "Wu Chang, the general flag bearer of the Outer South Division, has come here on orders to meet the commander-in-chief." "Are you Wuchang?" The flag-bearer looked surprised. The twelve small flags behind him were also looking at him curiously.

Legend has it that this man was still a small flag a month ago. He was promoted to the position of flag bearer and made great contributions, and was promoted to chief flag bearer. This person is considered to be the fastest promoted person in Gaoliu Castle's Tianshi Division. "This is a token of the general envoy." Lin Yan took out the flag and revealed his identity. The flag bearer of the patrol team immediately made way, bowed and said, "Fifth Master, please!" "polite." Lin Yan continued to ride his horse forward, and only dismounted when he was near the gate of the Tianjiansi. Then a small flag came forward and took the horse, whispering: "Sir, what kind of feed do you want to feed your horse?" "Is there any choice for feed?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows. "Of course." The flag bearer whispered, "Normally, the mount of the general flag bearer must be of the best breed in the world, and should be fed with concentrated feed, which includes corn, eggs, bran, soybean meal, salt, etc...." "..." Lin Yan sighed. Even humans may not be able to eat enough for three meals a day. He waved his hand and said, "Just feed them some ordinary feed." As soon as he finished speaking, he walked inside. The little flag bearer and the other little flag bearer looked at each other. "It looks like a bad horse, not a top-quality one. I think the general flag envoy is borrowing it for transportation." "In that case, just feed them some food." - Entering the headquarters of the Tianjian Division, we found the place to be vast. Here, he met many chief flag bearers, flag bearers, and more small flags. On the other side is the chief clerk of the Astronomical Bureau, who records information from all sides, analyzes it, distinguishes true from false, and tries to find deeper clues from it. "Coming?" The old steward came out from the inner hall, stroked his beard, and said, "You are a little late. I thought we would arrive at noon." "My horse is just an ordinary horse from Wainansi. It has never eaten concentrated feed, so its legs are not very strong." Lin Yan smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "I wonder if you are the commander?" The old manager extended his hand and said, "Come in and talk." The hall is spacious, with seats on both sides and a chair above, which is grand and majestic. But the commander-in-chief is not here.

"Please wait here for a moment. I have something important to do." The old man said, "The commander will be here soon." "it is good." Lin Yan nodded slightly. Then he sat in the hall. After waiting for a while, I heard a noise coming from outside. When I turned my head, I saw an old man sticking his head out from the corner, looking mysterious and waving. "Ok?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows. "Come here, there's something fun here." The old man said mysteriously: "I'll take you to see something." Lin Yan retracted his gaze and said, "I'm here, waiting for the commander." The old man smiled and said, "That idiot never likes to be on time. You should wait at least an hour!" "..." Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Old man, this is the Heavenly Monitoring Division. Are you calling the Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Monitoring Division a waste?" "That's an old loser, what's wrong with that?" The old man spread his hands, and then whispered: "There was a little loser just now, I have never seen such a stupid person... I was planning to take you to see a play, if you don't want to go, forget it." Before Lin Yan could answer, he heard the old man say, "That little piece of trash, riding a horse to monitor the sky, but didn't want to be fed with fine feed... I just watched for a long time and found that the two little flags were fed some garbage at random, and then I wrote it down in the book. One portion of fine feed was consumed today. Tsk tsk tsk, half a tael of silver..." Lin Yan's brows slightly raised. The old man snorted again and continued, "Look, the Tianjian Division claims to be in charge of the entire city. All crimes and unfair law enforcement are under their jurisdiction!" "This is the headquarters of Gaoliu City's Tianshi, but the act of 'lining one's own pockets' is happening right under the nose of the commander. Do you think he is a good-for-nothing?" "I'm flattering him by saying he's an old loser." "..." Lin Yan stood up, his eyes slightly focused. In the Sky Monitoring Department, no one dared to slander the Supreme Commander like this. I'm afraid it's only the commander himself! There are many such plots in many storybooks...When a big shot is about to make contact with an outstanding junior, he usually disguises himself as an inconspicuous person, hides his identity, and approaches the younger generation in advance to get to know the younger generation. So this old man is the supreme commander of the Tianjian Division? Just as I was thinking this, I saw the old man suddenly fly up into the air, howling loudly. "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I won't call you a waste anymore..."

Bang! The old man was knocked to the ground. Not far away, a figure was slowly approaching. This is a middle-aged man, who seems to be only about forty years old, with a cold face and a dignified brow. He walked over slowly, kicked the old man, and said, "Get lost!" The old man covered his butt, stood up and cursed, "Get lost! You useless thing, how dare you be the commander of the Tianjian Division?" "..." The commander had a blank expression on his face as he watched the old man walk away. He shook his head and walked into the hall. When he came in front of Lin Yan, a smile appeared on his face. "General Wuchang, why don't you kneel before me?" "Are you the old waste he mentioned?" Lin Yan was stunned, his eyes a little surprised. "..." The commander was silent for a moment, then said, "If you don't want to kneel, then don't kneel. Why are you scolding me?" He patted Lin Yan on the shoulder and said, "I haven't seen you for two years. You have made great progress." Lin Yan just looked quietly at the middle-aged man in front of him. The person who captured me and introduced me to the Wainan Division was not Han Zheng. But the man in front of me! This is the first person in Gaoliu City who knows his true identity! Han Zheng, the general commander of the Outer South Division, is the second one! Mr. Lu is the third one! "I have learned about your recent actions from Mr. Lu and Han Zheng." The commander smiled and said, "I have sent someone to take care of the Outer South Division and the Outer South City Wall for you. Accompany me to watch the moon tonight. I have prepared some wine." He pointed his finger upwards and said, "At the top of the Jiantiansi, you can see the inner city. What do you think?" Lin Yan frowned and said, "Not very good." The commander was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "For Master Lu's sake, please accompany me." I have been very busy in recent days, so the update is a little bit fluctuating.
