Mr. Cao... I... "Faced with the old man, the young man in brocade felt a bit flustered.
Mr. Cao waved his hand slightly and said, "Young Leader, there's no need to panic. I know what Young Leader is thinking in my heart. As the only legitimate son of the leader, your position as the leader will naturally belong to you in the future, and no one can take it away. If someone doesn't open their eyes, I will come up with a plan to eliminate the evil people from Young Leader
The young man in Jinyi was stunned and said, "Sir, are you really willing to help me
Mr. Cao calmly said, "Young Leader, is it because the leader values Chen Ziqi's troubles now? There's no need. The leader sent her there, which is a good opportunity for the young leader
We are going to Qingyun Mountain. Unless we take a boat, we must leave the official road and turn towards the direction of Jile City. This is a lonely city at the border of Qin and Wei. The territory of the two countries has always been divided unclearly and disputed, so it is in the "three no man's land" zone. Also, because it is bordered by the Canglan River to the south and the Mangshan Mountains to the north, guarding the narrow throat passage, we can only enter the city unless we detour for three hundred miles
Ding Shao'an pointed to the faintly visible city wall ahead and expressed concern, "Now Xiong Laoda and his team are approaching the city gates. Whether to enter the city or not is waiting for our decision
Jiang Fan said, "This Jile City is just a place for seeking pleasure. How can Brother Peach Blossom speak like a dragon's den or a tiger's den? Has he suffered losses here
Seeing his narrow-minded gaze, Ding Shao'an sneered, "Kid, as a fisherman, what do you know? Do you understand why Jile City can be independent from the two countries, while other borders between Qin and Wei are constantly in dispute, yet no one cares about this place
Jiang Fan said, "Why? Is there still a hidden story
Ding Shao'an suddenly looked at Wei Xiaohong and said, "Miss Xiaohong has been traveling around in business and must have heard of her. Why don't you explain to our young master
Wei Xiaohong didn't expect Ding Shao'an to suddenly throw the topic at her and exclaimed, "Well, I've only heard a little about it, I'm not quite sure
Jiang Fan leaned against the carriage and took a sip of wine. "It's okay, since we're walking together, we're just companions. Brother Peach Blossom doesn't like talking to me very much, so Little Red Girl can come and listen
Wei Xiaohong hesitated for a moment and said, "I've heard hearsay and I don't know if it's right or not. Don't take offense, young master
She cleared her throat and said, "Legend has it that Jile City was built with two sons. At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had once ruled the world, was in a state of instability and turmoil. However, there was one person who commanded the most mysterious army of the Great Zhou Dynasty - the Shadow Guards. This Shadow Guard only served the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, collecting intelligence and carrying out assassinations for him. It was the least visible mysterious team in the hands of the Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial power. No one knows how many they were or whose names they were. They only know that their leaders throughout history were known as the Heavenly Fox. Originally, this army was the most trusted and loyal of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, at that time, the power of the five countries had already been established, and it was only waiting for the Five Kingdoms to be formed. The collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty led to each party acting independently, creating a complex and turbulent situation. In order to accelerate the collapse of the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the five countries conspired for the first time to sow discord and make the Emperor of the Great Zhou suspicious of the Heavenly Fox, resulting in numerous gaps between the two sides. Later, it was rumored that Emperor Zhou intended to secretly eliminate the Heavenly Fox, but the Heavenly Fox was extremely alert and quickly fled, hiding behind the Shadow Guards. Later, it was said that this top spy leader had reached an agreement with five countries to no longer serve Da Zhou, on the condition that he would build a city that belonged to his independent forces no matter where it was, and the five countries inside the city would not interfere. Due to the situation at that time, the five countries readily agreed. This is where the current Paradise City comes into being. That's all I've heard about the origin of Jile City, I don't know if it's true
Jiang Fan finally understood and couldn't help but sigh, "I thought it was just a city, but it turned out to be a spy network
Ding Shao'an glanced at her and said, "Miss Wei is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Although these things are widely circulated in the martial arts world, I don't expect Miss Wei, a daughter of a merchant, to be able to speak clearly and thoroughly. I admire her
Jiang Fan saw Wei Xiaohong's bewildered expression again and said, "Brother Peach Blossom, since everyone knows about this matter, it is inevitable that Miss Wei has heard of her father's business dealings. However, I still don't understand why Jile City has existed for so long, and how can the five countries tolerate it
Ding Shao'an said, "The reason why the Heavenly Fox built a city openly is to place itself in an open place, so that all five countries can see it and seek self-protection with peace of mind. At the same time, Jile City has made a treaty with the five countries to remain neutral and only care about the affairs inside the city, not to be used by any party unless threatened by destruction. However, the power of the Shadow Guard is spread all over the world, and there are officials, gentry, merchants, soldiers, and civilians. If any country wants to deal with the Shadow Guard, it must consider its pervasive espionage network. Once Jile City joins any party, it will be fatal. Therefore, there are constant disputes among the five countries, but no one will touch this city. Of course, there have been people who have tried to swallow this piece. The huge cake was the royal family of Later Zhou, but the person in charge with high authority was soon hung on the Jile City Wall, and at the same time, Jile City released the evidence to the world. As soon as this incident occurred, the other four countries joined forces to launch a campaign, forcing the strongest Later Zhou dynasty at the time to drastically reduce its territory and even engage in internal disputes, which damaged its vitality and almost led to its downfall. There were even rumors that Later Zhou changed its name to the current Great Xia dynasty, which was related to this. From then on, no force openly tried to win over or even attempt to annex Jile City
Oh, that's amazing! We're taking advantage of the dispute among the five countries to survive in the midst of the cracks. This fox is really powerful
Jiang Fan sincerely admires.
Even so, for the five countries, Peach Blossom Brother, you are just a person in the martial arts world. Why are you so afraid of Jile City
Ding Shao'an said, "Although Jile City is built on the surface, in reality, Tianhu is still not at ease because none of the five countries are good enemies. Therefore, the espionage of Jile City is the real capital for them to survive. So, in fact, this is an intelligence city. Although the Jile City Lord almost never leaves the city, he holds the intelligence of the world. And these intelligence can be bought and sold as long as they enter Jile City. So you understand, once we enter, someone may know our news. Do you think it's dangerous
Jiang Fan suddenly realized, "Understood
Ding Shao'an said, "What do you think now? There's still time to take a detour
Jiang Fan said, "How can you pass through such an interesting place without entering? You have to go and see it. Notify Boss Xiong to enter the city
Ding Shao'an's face was full of doubts. What was Jiang Fan thinking? Is it okay to lean towards Tiger Mountain knowing that there are tigers on the mountain? Should we say he is audacious or foolish?
Have you come up with a plan
Just go, a master once told me that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it may be
Ding Shao'an was taken aback for a moment, realizing that these words had a profound meaning. After some thought, he warned, "Once we enter the city, we have almost no possibility of hiding. In the past few days, we have changed our appearance and finally arrived safely here. If you insist on going your own way, the consequences are unpredictable
Jiang Fan said, "Peace? Not necessarily. Although we are cautious and careful, Brother Peach Blossom may have already noticed. More than a group of people have begun to suspect us. The reason why they did not take action is probably because they could not confirm and were afraid to startle the snake. Secondly, various forces are afraid of each other, and no one is willing to take action first. It will be unavoidable sooner or later. Be generous. Actually, I also want to see which people are thinking about dealing with us. Jile City may be an opportunity
