Chapter 417 Capital

The road from Shannan Road to Beijing is very long.

Shannan Road is in the south, and the capital is in the north. There are four roads between the two sides, thousands of miles away.

Ordinary caravans even need several months to travel from the capital to Shannan Road.

Han Zheng and the others naturally didn't need several months, but without going all out, it would still take a month to reach the capital.

In fact, Han Zheng was also a little confused as to why Chen Baxian hurried on the road so slowly that he even took a rest every night.

During this period, Han Zheng also asked Wen Tingyun and Fang Henge where they had gone.

The inspection led by Fang Henge caused a group of people to disappear without a trace while Han Zheng was in retreat.

Wen Tingyun said that they went to Huainan Road, which was their last stop. After inspecting Huainan Road, they would return to the capital to report what happened along the way.

Moreover, Chen Baxian deliberately went to the capital in no hurry, just to let Fang Henge and the others return to the capital first and report everything that happened on Shannan Road.

Chen Baxian himself said that Wu Yunfei and others were corrupt and perverting the law, ignoring the laws and regulations and still felt like they were complaining.

But if these things were told by the inspector Fang Henge, the effect would be completely different.

Only then did Han Zheng realize that Chen Baxian seemed to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was simple and straightforward in doing things, but in fact he had a lot of evil intentions.

He does things simply and directly, but that's just because he's too lazy to bother, it doesn't mean he doesn't have any scheming intentions.

After walking leisurely for a month, Han Zheng finally arrived outside the capital city of Great Zhou Dynasty.

When we left Shannan Road, it was still early autumn, and due to the climate, there were still shades of green everywhere.

By the time we arrived in the capital, the climate had turned into a cold winter, everything was withered, covered in silver, and weak snowflakes were falling leisurely from the leaden sky.

What caught Han Zheng's eyes was a majestic and huge city, built entirely with huge green-gray brick walls. It was dozens of feet high and its length was endless as far as the eye could see.

This huge and majestic city looked even more majestic and vicissitudes against the backdrop of falling snow. There was a faint flash of bright silver brilliance on the city wall, which was the reflection brought by the weapons in the hands of the defenders.

The front city wall alone has three huge gates, and the caravans and pedestrians are densely packed, like a hive of ants.

There are a total of twelve gates in the entire capital, so it can support such a huge flow of people.

Han Zheng took a long breath and exhaled a white breath like a sharp arrow.

"This is the capital of my great Zhou Dynasty? It is indeed magnificent and prosperous.

But why is the capital city so remote?

According to the location of the Fourth and Nineteenth Avenue, the location of the capital seems to be close to the frontier, not in the center. "

Chen Baxian looked at the capital and said calmly: "Because after leaving the capital, walking five hundred miles northwest is the Demon Suppression Pass.

Once there is a change in the Demon Suppression Pass, the capital can immediately send reinforcements.

When Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty made the capital city, it was just an uninhabited wasteland, incomparable with those big cities in the south.

It was because he wanted future generations to guard this place that Taizu Taizu of Zhou built this huge city on the ground.

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.

If there were any changes in the Demon Suppressing Pass, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be the first to die. "

Wen Tingyun sighed: "The Great Zhou Taizu swept across Liuhe, expelled demons, and unified the world. He was a hero among heroes.

It's a pity that not all his descendants thought this way. There were also many ineffective emperors over the years, and some were even extremely stupid. Otherwise, the Zhou Dynasty would not have fallen into this situation. "

Han Zheng asked: "It is unrealistic for every emperor to be wise and powerful. Then if future emperors are that kind of timid and cowardly, why didn't they consider moving the capital?"

Wen Tingyun sneered: "They wanted to move the capital, but it's a pity that all roads were blocked by Taizu Taizu of Zhou Dynasty.

The capital city is where the Dragon Vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located. Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty teamed up with Wu Sheng Yu Jiucang to capture the dragon veins from the mountains and rivers of the world's spiritual veins and put them under the capital.

The reason why the powerful men of the Great Zhou royal family in the Longwu Division have been practicing rapidly is because they have the blood of the Great Zhou and can practice on the dragon vein.

Once the capital is moved and the dragon vein is abandoned, what will be the difference between the Zhou royal family and other Jianghu aristocratic families? Not even as good as them.

There is also the Tiangong arsenal of the Dang Mo Division, the entire capital's defensive formation, and even the divine soldiers who protect the country.

These things are all in the capital and cannot be moved if you want to.

Once the capital is moved, it will not be the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty that will be moved, but the national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

So over the years, even if there were really stupid emperors who wanted to move their capital, they were stopped by other members of the Zhou royal family and deposed from the throne. "

Han Zheng was surprised and said: "The royal family can oust the emperor from the throne at will? Didn't the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty master the force?

Also, I seem to have discovered that the emperors of the past dynasties did not seem to be warriors. Some of them had short life spans, and some died at the age of forty or fifty.

As an emperor, even if he doesn't learn martial arts, is it possible that he doesn't even have a life-extending elixir? "

Just when Wen Tingyun was about to explain, Chen Baxian pointed at the huge and majestic capital and said: "The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is not only carrying a capital city, but also the entire world!

Before inheriting the throne, even if the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had condensed the true martial arts elixir, it would eventually turn into nothingness under the huge pressure of dragon vein luck, leaving only a weak mortal body.

Under the luck of the dragon vein, not to mention his own cultivation, even those pills containing spiritual energy have no effect at all.

Once he succeeds to the throne and has the luck of the Dragon Vein, the emperor's lifespan will only be as long as he should have as an ordinary person.

However, there is also an advantage to this, that is, the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty only died of old age after their lifespans were exhausted, and none of them died of assassination accidents.

With the luck of the dragon vein, he can kill evil and avoid all poisons. If someone assassinates him, he will immediately be protected by the power of the dragon vein.

Therefore, as long as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in the capital, he is invincible, and no one can kill him.

But his power is given by the throne. Once his throne is deprived, he will be nothing.

The royal elders in the Dragon Martial Division are of extremely high seniority. Because they are nourished by the dragon vein, they even live longer than warriors of the same level.

If any generation of emperors is too incompetent and unjust, these royal elders can sacrifice their heart essence and blood to the dragon vein and deprive them of the throne.

However, they will not live long after sacrificing their heart essence and blood. Doing so is actually a lose-lose behavior.

There were only two emperors in history who were really outrageous, so these royal elders would rather perish with them than drive them off the throne. "

Wen Tingyun sneered: "In fact, there is another way to make the emperor live longer, that is to abdicate and hand over the dragon vein luck.

It's a pity that so many generations of emperors, none of them are willing to give up the power in their hands, and they are reluctant to pass on the throne until they die. "

Han Zheng also discovered that Wen Tingyun seemed to have no good feelings towards the royal family of Da Zhou, she just felt a sense of belonging to the Demon Slayer Division.

"Okay, you can say whatever you want outside, but remember to be careful in your words and deeds after entering the capital, and don't criticize the royal family. "

Chen Baxian reminded the two of them and took Han Zheng and Wen Tingyun into the capital.

There are a total of 49 market towns in the capital of Da Zhou, and each market town is surprisingly large, even larger than a prefecture.

After entering the city, Han Zheng also looked around curiously.

The atmosphere of the capital is naturally not comparable to Kaiping Prefecture. The place where dragon veins converge, the center of Da Zhou is naturally very prosperous.

However, Han Zheng frowned slightly and whispered: "I seem to sense some evil spirits. "

There are all kinds of auras in the capital, and warriors are very common.

But in addition to warriors, Han Zheng can clearly sense that there are also many mixed demonic auras, as if there are many demons.

Chen Baxian said lightly: "It's normal. Don't think that there are no demons in the capital. In fact, the capital is the place with the most demons in all the cities in the whole Great Zhou.

Don't forget that the capital is only 500 miles away from the Demon-Suppressing Pass. The Demon-Suppressing Pass can stop a large number of demons, but there is no way to guarantee that no demon can slip out.

The demons who escaped from the Demon-Suppressing Pass, their first stop is the capital.

And the demons from the outside world want to know the movements of the Great Zhou court, and their first choice is the capital.

In addition, the capital is huge, mixed with good and bad people, and there are countless evils and crimes, which are also easy to breed demons.

This capital looks prosperous during the day, but demons are rampant at night. "
