    In the land of demons and immortals, in the Bluestone Territory, in the east of Matou City, a huge gate tower stood up, with three words written on it: "Send the Sword Forest".  Ma Tou City was once just a small town in Zaitianzhou, southeast of Ma Tou Mountain.  And Ma Tou Mountain is just an isolated mountain in the wilderness, neither high nor big, and extremely desolate.  A watchtower was built on Ma Tou Mountain, and a low wall was built outside the city to defend against wild beasts and robbers. Even if three or four earthen forts were used for all the defenses, the number of residents at the most was only over a hundred.  There are so many small towns like this on the wasteland of Zaitian Mansion, and most of them have been turned into ruins with the passage of time.  The prosperity of Ma Tou City is all due to the original Boss Ma.  The west gate of Ma Tou City is the main entrance. Every time a caravan from Ma Tou City sets out, a piece of red silk will be tied to the big tree outside the west gate.  At this time, the shade of the big tree covered a small part of Natou City, and the fluttering silk had become a part of the big tree, deep and shallow, new and old, layered on top of each other.  With the passage of time, Ma Tou City now has four gates.  The fourth city gate, the East Gate, is the "Noisy Sword Forest". It connects the Kingdom of Demons and Immortals to Mengcheng. People come in and out, making this main street in the east-west direction 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 first thing you see is the red silk tree and the bustling street scene.  "Wow" Gong Yiping sighed like a country bumpkin who came to the city for the first time, watching the scenery in front of him suddenly change into a completely different look.  Beside him, General Yu tried his best to appear more reserved, but he still couldn't help but feel slightly absent-minded.  And the officials who were with them were all speechless and couldn't move for a long time.  People coming and going have become accustomed to it. They bypassed the petrified group of people and walked into the crowd very calmly and elegantly, with a sense of superiority in their movements.  Gong Yiping came to the Kingdom of Demons and Immortals from Zhuan Er as a missionary escort, and this mission 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.  The selection of personnel is more about human relationships.  The reason for this staffing is simple, they are here to ask for help.  Looking for Zi Baifeng for help, in fact the best candidate is Fujun.  "But if the prince comes, it doesn't look like asking for help, but like coercion. Facing Zi Baifeng, King Zhuan has a lot of complicated things to think about.  Zi Baifeng is no longer the original Zi Baifeng, and the relationship between them and Zi Baifeng has been reversed a long time ago.  Therefore, in the end, the result fell on General Yu, who was a little more distant.  Gong Yiping is a backup method. His identity is more complicated. He is from Zhuan Erguo, but he is also the guard of Zi Baifeng's mansion. Strictly speaking, he is Zi Baifeng's subordinate.  This kind of subtle selection really made Zhuan Erguo take great pains, because when they came this time, they could only succeed and not fail.  In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, General Yu and the others took a cloud boat directly from Xijing to Mengcheng, and then went directly to the country of demons and immortals without stopping at all.  They really didn¡¯t have time to delay.  When they arrived at Ma Tou City, they went straight to the county government office in Ma Tou City.  An official received them and then told them the unfortunate news: "The king has left the country of demons and immortals. No one knows where he went, and he can't say when he will come back." "What about Luo Qianshan?  ?" General Yu asked quickly.  "We went together too. Now Mr. Yan Xiaolei is in charge of the family. How about you wait a moment and I send someone to pass a message to Mr. Yan Xiaolei?" the official said.  "That's all" General Yu was so disappointed that he couldn't help but wonder, did Zi Baifeng know that they were coming, so he hid? ???????????????????????? What virtue and ability do they have to let the majestic demons and immortals hide from them?  If Zi Baifeng is very busy and it will take a few days before he has time to see them, they can't say anything and can only wait.  But this feeling is not very good.  When facing various problems, people are always prone to worry about gains and losses, and when they worry about gains and losses, they tend to overthink.  Even the official's promise seemed to them like passing the buck.  "Where is Mr. Yan Xiaolei? Or should we go find them?" asked an accompanying official.  He was probably worried that this was just the official's prevarication, and he just waited, not knowing how long it would take.    "Master Yan is in Shanshui City, which is far away from here. If you want to go there, you need to take a cloud ship." The official said, "You can take a ferry. There is one ferry every morning and one in the afternoon. There should be another hour in the afternoon.  Let¡¯s set off.¡± ¡°Do you still have a cloud ship here?¡± The mission official¡¯s eyes widened when he heard what the county government official said.  Even in Xijing, it is rare to see cloud ships, and even cloud boats are rare.  In order to attend the Nianxian Conference, King Zhuan and the others spent a lot of money to rent a dilapidated cloud ship, which made them feel heartbroken.  "Yes, there are cloud ships." The official smiled lightly, without any hint of happiness or anger. He had been an official of Zhuan Er State before, and he knew what kind of life Zhuan Er State lived, but now he looks back.  , not even a cloud ship, that kind of life is so pitiful and ridiculous.  "There are cloud ships in such a small town. This country of demons and immortals really deserves its reputation." The mission official sighed, "How many people can there be in such a small town? Doesn't this cloud ship have to lose money?" Even if the training is good,  It has been tried and tested for a long time, and the county government officials almost laughed out loud.  "The Noisy Sword Forest" does not allow Yunjian and Yunzhou to pass through, so there are not many Yunjian and Yunzhou in Matou City. Most of the Yunjian and Yunzhou will stay at the airport outside the city.  There are at least dozens of cloud ships rising and falling, which is really not a big deal.  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, you can build the Yunjian Demon Fairy Kingdom yourself, and there are plenty of jade. If the cost is evenly shared, it will be very low. It can be done as a public welfare undertaking.  "Where are you from? Isn't it Xijing? I remember that although Xijing has no connection with our country of demons and immortals, it is always connected with Mengcheng, right? Didn't you go shopping when you arrived in Mengcheng?" The official and a few  We started chatting in person, neither humble nor arrogant, very comfortable.  There was some confusion in his words.  "If you come from Mengcheng, you shouldn't be such a country bumpkin and make a fuss about everything you see.  If Mengcheng still has a subordinate relationship with Zhuan Er Kingdom, the Demon Immortal Kingdom has a completely different system. Even if these people have high positions in Zhuan Er Kingdom, they really have no privileges in the Demon Immortal Kingdom.  .  Hearing the subtext in the official's words, General Yu's lips trembled and said: "I'm in a hurry and didn't have time to go shopping."  There have just been more." The official who was once an official of Shanshui City recalled, "It was only three months ago that our Shanshui City was able to build its own Yunzhou Yunship, but now it has been expanded three times.  The production capacity has been reached, and I have also booked a Yunzhou for household use, and I will be able to pick up the goods in three to five days. "The expressions of several mission officials were not very good. When they came, they actually felt that the bitter cold in the northern country would be a problem.  What's good?  It must be an extremely desolate place with no mountains and rivers. Maybe we will suffer a lot this time.  But who would have thought that when they came, they would be treated like country bumpkins.  This difference comes entirely from the speed of development.  For General Yu and others, the development of a city should be recorded in ten or even hundreds of years.  But for these cities under Zi Baifeng's command, development is changing with each passing day.  Although Mengcheng and Xijing are connected by waterway, they are still far away after all.  In the past, the communication between the two parties was measured in years, but now it is more frequent, and it is measured in months.  While talking, the official suddenly said: "Master Yan has received the news. He ordered me to take you to take a tour in Matou City and settle down temporarily. Master Yan will come over to meet you after finishing the work at hand." "  What?" Even General Yu was shocked when he heard the official say this.  They chatted here for a while, wondering if they should leave early so that the official could write and deliver the letter quickly, otherwise they would have to wait another three to five days.  The official smiled and said: "Don't look at me like this, I have also been practicing for some time. According to the regulations of our country of demons and immortals, the chief officials in various places must practice the Yilu Sect's method, such as Beacon Fire Climbing High to Watch. After practicing this method,  A simple message can be sent to the Yilu Sect disciple who is responsible for delivering the message as soon as the heart moves. It can be delivered very quickly after a few transfers. " Listening to the official's seemingly humble, but actually boastful words, several people complained at the same time.  : "Hurry up, sister!" But what I can't accept is that it's too fast.  "Come on, gentlemen, let's go visit Ma Tou City first." The official led the way and took everyone out without any guards. He also greeted many people with a smile on the way, and was very easy-going and approachable.    ¡°Our Matou City is responsible for connecting the Kingdom of Fairies 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. However,  The most famous place in Matou City these days is the 'Sword City'. ""Sword City?" Hearing that Yan Xiaolei was coming, General Yu asked half-heartedly.  The official was about to explain, but when he looked back, he smiled.  Gong Yiping was standing in front of a stall.  It was said to be a stall, but in fact it was just a piece of cloth spread in front of it. There were no goods on it, and only four words were written on it: "Waiting for sale." Gong Yiping was very confused and asked the young man sitting behind the cloth: "Waiting for a while."  Sell ??at the best price, boss, what are you selling?" The young man looked up at him and made a gesture on himself: "Sell me." Gong Yiping suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
