Heavenly Dao Formula

Shenzhou border, the western suburbs of Jinxia.

After a four-day journey, the outline of this ancient Yancheng gradually appeared in the eyes of Li and his group.

"Are you sure you don't need to report first?" Li put down the curtains of the carriage and preached, "The reception of the Secretariat will not hinder your observation. On the contrary, there are some places where you cannot pass alone."

The person she was talking to was Venerable Shengtian who was in the same car.

There are two messengers sent by the Salvation Sect this time. Apart from His Holiness, Wangsha is also responsible for accompanying them. In addition, the mission team is also provided by the Salvation Church, with a total number of nearly 100.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that another purpose of this convoy is to protect the envoy. In case the princess does something unfavorable to Venerable Shengtian, at least they still have a chance to tip off the news.

"No. The truth can be forged, and I believe what I see with my own eyes." Venerable Shengtian replied coldly.

"That's fine." Li didn't give any more advice, "There are people on duty in the Bureau of Affairs all day long. When do you want to talk to Her Royal Highness, just go there and show your identity. I'll go back to the villa first—"

"You can't leave." Venerable Shengtian said decisively, "You have to stay with me during the days when I entered Jinxia."

Li was stunned, "What?"

"I trust you and Miss Qing'er, so I am willing to come and see Jinxia's appearance, but this does not mean that I also trust the Xia family boy Ning Wanjun told you about." The venerable looked at the fox demon, "So in the formal Before and after the meeting, you are my receptionist. I don’t accept other people’s reception except you.”

"Uh..." Li rubbed his head in pain. As early as leaving Dashan, the other party put forward the request of "silent observation", that is, before deciding to meet formally, Jin Xiafang would not be informed of the arrival of the Salvation Church, and a team of hundreds of people would also dress up as a caravan and station on the outskirts of the city . It seemed that doing so would reduce Jinxia's defenses, and it would also make it easier for the observation team to see the most authentic side of Yancheng.

Of course, Li had nothing she couldn't agree to. She didn't even ask Wulie to report the news secretly. She found a secluded place where no one was paying attention at night, set up the antenna and activated the sounder to complete the communication with Jinxia. The teaching plan was reported together.

But Venerable Shengtian didn't notice this.

After all, going out for a quarter of an hour alone can spread the news to the capital of another state. She has never heard of such a technique.

Jinxia will naturally "cooperate" with the demands of the Salvation Church, that is, everyone will turn a blind eye to the Salvation Church's visit, and just monitor secretly. But Li didn't expect that she would ask him to be by his side all the time. To be honest, this is beyond the reasonable scope of diplomatic requirements.

Even if she refused, the other party must have nothing to do with her.

But after hesitating again and again, she nodded, "I see, then I'll be here to receive you."

The few days of getting along on the road gave Li a better understanding of the famous Shengtian Venerable.

She was a little surprised that she got along quite well with the other party.

Although the venerable was a bit indifferent and always looked at the princess and Xia Fan with a critical eye, in fact she was not bad-hearted, and her view of monsters was not as disgusting and repulsive as ordinary alchemists. According to Luo Qingqing, this person was probably a high-level alchemist in the Privy Council of Shangyuan before, and it was really unexpected that he could give Li such an approachable feeling. In addition, her knowledge is quite profound, from the history of the dynasty to the experience of magic techniques, the time on the road is not only not boring, but seems to pass quickly.

Seeing Li agreeing, Venerable Shengtian nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down.

At the same time, there was a loud commotion coming from the front.

"My lord, the road ahead is blocked. It seems that someone is gathering a crowd to make trouble." Wang Sha, who was disguised as a coachman, reported.

"I'll check the situation." Li opened the door of the carriage.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you too." The Venerable raised the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Jinxia City is not so peaceful."

After getting out of the carriage, Li saw that the entire official road was indeed blocked tightly, but the traffic was not completely stopped. There were already guards guiding vehicles from both sides of the road through the congested area, but the speed was relatively slow.

Moreover, she found that many carriages did not avoid the congested area, but took the initiative to approach them, as if there was a good show going on there.

Venerable Shengtian speculated that it was probably related to the homeless people who wanted to enter the city.

She had heard before that Jinxia was recruiting refugees on a large scale, probably to fill the gap needed for the war. But this is not a long-term solution. The excessive population growth will increase the consumption of the city, and Jinxia does not have the favorable conditions like the kingdom of heaven, so it is impossible to accept refugees indefinitely. Normal residents hate refugees coming to rob food, and officials don't want to see outsiders causing trouble. This kind of contradiction will erupt sooner or later.

Repression or expulsion followed.

She has seen similar scenes many times in other places—

"Place your bets, put your bets, whether it's one person or thirty horses, let's guess! This is an official game, and whoever guesses correctly will get a reward of 50 yuan!"

"Then guess wrong?"

"Of course there is no reward, but there is no need to pay any money!"

These words made the scene erupt!

"I crush thirty horses!"

"Me too!"

"Then I'll be able to suppress people."

Of course, there are also some different voices mixed in.

"Excuse me, brother... what does fifty yuan mean?"

"I don't know, I just came from Youzhou too."

"Whatever it is, you don't need money if you lose anyway. Give me a lottery too, and I'll pick the horse to win!"

Venerable Shengtian was stunned.

Listening to the noise, it doesn't look like a conflict.

She separated the crowd and walked into the noisy scene, only to see that the open space at the gate of the city was circled by the guards and divided into two by a white line. On one side of the white line was a group of horses, and on the other side was a strangely shaped thing. It had six broad wheels and was shaped somewhat like a carriage box, but the absence of yokes and balance bars at the front meant that it could not be dragged by livestock.

"What is Jinxia doing?" the Venerable asked, frowning.

"I don't know either." Li shrugged.

"you do not know?"

"Well, this thing looks like a machine beast, probably a new invention of the Machine Building Bureau..." Li Tanran replied, "But that's Sister Mo Yun's job, I don't know much about it."

"The two ladies, do you want to place a bet?" A girl holding a plate suddenly came to them.

"Did the organization gather people to gamble in broad daylight? What a nonsense!" Venerable Shengtian snorted coldly.

Li smiled and asked, "What are you betting on?"

"Bet on who is more powerful!" The little girl replied crisply, "On one side are 30 prime-aged military horses, on the other side are liberated mechanism beasts and a manipulator. Whoever can pull down the other side will win!"

There must be two more chapters tomorrow!
