Chapter 324: Commander-in-Chief of the Jianyi Guards, Jingtao Divine Fist
The capital of Yao, the head of ten thousand cities.
As the capital of Yao's court, Shendu had an unparalleled geographical advantage.
It is located in Zhongzhou, and Zhongzhou is located in Jiuzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the thoroughfare of Jiuzhou and the center of ten thousand cities.
Outside the Divine Capital, there are two large rivers running from west to east in the north and south, vaguely sandwiching the Divine Capital between them.
The river is wide and has surging waves, making it a natural moat.
With these two rivers as guards, the north and south of the divine capital would be in an invincible position, and even defending the city would be much easier.
It is said that the imperial court also established naval divisions on both sides of the river as a protective force on the river.
Although there were two rivers blocking the north and south, Dayao built several bridges where the rivers were narrow and became a passage connecting the north and the south.
Every day, these bridges are bustling with people coming and going.
As a capital city with a population of nearly three million, the daily needs of Shendu are extremely large and cannot be supplied by the Gyeonggi alone, so they have to be transported to Kyoto from various places.
This also resulted in an endless stream of people at the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the divine capital, making it extremely prosperous.
Every morning, before the four city gates were opened, many people gathered outside and outside the capital, waiting to go in and out. The queues were more than a mile long.
And when the city gates open and the sun rises, the streets in the best areas of the city are really crowded with people and busy with traffic.
Wine shops, rice shops, teahouses, cloth shops, etc. are all crowded with people, noisy and bustling.
As for the inns that provide food and accommodation for outsiders, there are even noisier arrivals and departures.
This is still a scene close to the city gate.
A few miles further in, you will see tall gates and wide households, row after row, which is spectacular.
These are the residences of the dignitaries of the divine capital, and the streets and alleys formed by them have also become places for making a living.
Continuing to walk a few miles into the city, there are all kinds of extremely solemn and advanced yamen, and they become more and more advanced as you go into the middle.
Although there were still a lot of people coming and going in the civil and military yamen of the imperial court, the atmosphere was much more serious and less pyrotechnic.
Find a high place nearby and look around. A few miles away is the center of the divine capital - Dayao Palace!
This is a connected palace complex that stretches for several miles and runs north-south. The northernmost is the Qinzheng Hall, the center of the imperial court.
This palace faces south, is magnificent, majestic and tall.
It is said that Emperor Yao summoned his officials here to handle government affairs.
Surrounding the Qinzheng Hall are palaces that look like small towns, including the majestic Yangxin Hall, Charity Palace, and the delicate and beautiful royal gardens.
In short, here you can see different styles of architecture from all over the world, which is pleasing to the eye and refreshing.
As for the harem that ordinary people cannot explore, let's not talk about it.
Even the palace where the emperor handles government affairs cannot be set foot in by ordinary officials without conscription.
Other court officials on duty rarely walked within the imperial city.
However, outside the imperial city, close to the east gate of the imperial city, there is an extremely large government office that is extremely special.
First of all, except for the Soldiers and Horses Department, it has the largest number of people here, and it seems to be even more crowded than the soldiers and horses stationed and patrolling.
Secondly, they came and went, came and went, and some even galloped on horseback, without any scruples at all because they were at the foot of the imperial city.
In addition, the people who passed by the street in front of the Yamen, whether they were ordinary people or court officials, moved much faster, as if there was some kind of plague god here, eager to pass by quickly, not daring to linger at all.
Even the carriages of noble officials seemed to slow down when they arrived here, for fear of disturbing the people nearby.
Why are they so afraid of this place?
Without him, you can understand it by looking at the three characters carved on the big stone in front of the Yamen Gate——
缁衣卫!
Zhenyiwei, the institution used by the Yao royal family to suppress the warriors of the world!
As guards, they are not under the control of the court or under the jurisdiction of any department. They only obey the emperor's orders!
Serve the emperor and despise the world!
They take care of things that the court cannot take care of; they kill people that the court cannot kill - as long as the emperor says something, they have no scruples, and they don't sell anyone's face!
Not to mention enemies, as long as the emperor expresses his will, they dare to kill the court officials!
Do not believe?
Over the past hundred years, stubborn people have died one after another, including many princes and generals!
If you say your whole family will be destroyed, your whole family will be destroyed without any negotiation!
Their murderous nature and fierceness have also created their frightening reputation.
And here is the headquarters of Dayao Yiwei!
All the Jiuzhou Yiwei came from here.
It is the center of the Yiyi Guard, the emperor's eyes and ears, and even more so the emperor's sword!
There are thousands of guards stationed here alone, among whom it is difficult to count all the masters of the upper three realms.
In local states, the threshold for joining the Guards is the cultivation of the four realms.
But at the Zhenyiwei headquarters, those with four realms of cultivation are not even qualified to guard the gate!
There are rumors outside that the Zhenyiwei headquarters has not only masters from the Eighth Realm, but even top masters from the Ninth Realm.
As for whether it is true, no one knows, because no one has ever seen it, and the top masters of the Nine Realms rarely take action.
However, many people speak with dignity and clarity. Even if they cannot be sure, they are probably not far from the truth.
After all, there are martial arts holy places in every state in the world, and among them are the top masters of the Nine Realms.
As an organization that suppresses the world's warriors, if the Zhen Yiwei does not have the best combat power, it will definitely be difficult to suppress the world.
If everything requires calling in Nine Realm masters from other places to help, that would be too constraining.
In short, whether it is the power bestowed by the emperor or the intimidating power of Zhenyiwei itself, as the headquarters of Zhenyiwei, no one dares to make trouble nearby.
Even inside the Zhenyiwei headquarters, the comings and goings are mostly for official business, and there is very little chat. Even if you want to fish, you have to come secretly.
As for the large room on the far west side of the headquarters Yamen, no one dared to approach it for more than ten feet, let alone make any noise.
Just because this is where the current Commander-in-Chief of the Guards, Feng Kaijing, has his office!
The Commander-in-Chief of the Yiyi Guards has a super-grade official title. His position is higher than that of a prince, and his status is respected. He can be regarded as a small group of people with the highest official rank in the world.
And if you want to command tens of thousands of guards in the world, it will definitely be difficult to do it just by relying on the emperor's trust and a mere official title.
Many people know Feng Kaijing's resume clearly. He comes from a family of Zhenyiwei. His ancestors have been Zhenyiwei for several generations, and his status is not low. He can be said to have a clean fortune.
He himself is very talented and extremely gifted in martial arts. He has practiced the family's secret art "Jingtao Fist" to a high level since he was a child.
Later, he was selected as the bodyguard when the emperor was still the prince, and became the prince's personal bodyguard. He blocked the prince's sword many times and successfully protected the prince until he became the emperor.
After Feng Kaijing succeeded in martial arts and became a warrior in the upper three realms, the emperor put him back into the ranks of the Guards.
Everyone knew that the emperor wanted him to be in charge of the Guards in the future.
And Feng Kaijing did not disappoint the emperor. He was promoted all the way and became a master of the Eight Realms in just a few years, and successfully became the commander-in-chief of the Yiyi Guard.
After careful calculation, Feng Kaijing has been in charge of Zhenyiwei for almost ten years now.
And he himself has become a perfect master of the Eight Realms, and is only one step away from becoming a master of the Nine Realms.
A master of the Eighth Realm had once fought against him and commented that his boxing skills were astonishing and unparalleled. Although he was not in the Ninth Realm, he had touched the threshold of the Ninth Realm.
The Jingtao Divine Fist is the name given to Feng Kaijing in the martial arts world. If he can get the word "Shangshen", it is naturally due to the majesty he brings with his punches and kicks.
Now that several years have passed, the Jingtao Shenquan, who had previously perfected the Eight Realms, rarely visits the world, and arranges for his subordinates to handle all matters big and small.
Some people rumored that he was practicing in seclusion, striving to enter the Nine Realms; others said that he failed to break through and has been recuperating from his injuries.
There are different opinions and no consensus.
Of course, that was a rumor from outside. Everyone at the Zhenyiwei headquarters knew that their commander-in-chief went to the Yamen every day to handle official duties.
Every day, there are messages from his room to all over the world, and various organizations are processed from them.
These arrangements may be very ordinary, or they may cause a bloody storm outside, destroying families and destroying families.
Because of this unpredictable power, the people in Lian Yiwei were trembling with fear when they saw Feng Kai Kyoto, and did not dare to look directly at him.
Normally, no one dares to wander near his office.
Today is an exception.
Mo Rong, one of the sixteen captains of the Yiyi Guard, came to Feng Kaijing's office and was respectfully reporting to him.
Morong is about forty years old, strong and tall, wearing a red and black official robe. He has an extraordinary temperament and majesty.
Feng Kaijing, who was sitting opposite him, looked like an ordinary little old man. He was in his fifties or sixties. He looked a little thin. He was wearing a purple and black official robe loosely. He didn't look like a world-famous man. The commander-in-chief of the Yiyi Guards.
However, Mo Rong, who was more imposing, did not dare to take a breath in front of Feng Kaijing, who had an ordinary temperament. Although he was sitting on the chair opposite to the commander-in-chief across a table, he did not dare to sit upright and tilted his buttocks. One half sat.
As for his face, he was even more frightened, and he didn't dare to look around.
The silence of Feng Kaijing made him feel anxious. After reporting the matter, he did not dare to say even a single word.
No one knows better than him how terrifying the little old man-looking commander in front of him is!
Feng Kaijing had finished listening to the report, but did not speak. He sat silently on the chair with his eyebrows lowered, as if he was thinking or falling asleep.
Morong could only follow the silence tremblingly.
For a long time, Feng Kaijing still didn't raise his head, but said: "I understand. Morong, you continue to monitor them. If they act randomly, do you know what to do?"
His voice was very soft, but it seemed very heavy, like noise rising from the bottom of an abyss, making it difficult to discern the direction.
In an instant, it felt like sounds were coming from all directions!
Morong was startled, stood up, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, this is the capital of the gods, no one can act wild under the eyes of the guards!"
Feng Kaijing hummed and said softly: "Go down."
"Yes!" Morong did not hesitate, bowed, and quickly exited the room.
When he walked out of the eaves and the early summer sunshine outside shone on him, Mo Rong felt a little warmth envelope his body, driving away the gloom in his heart.
In Feng Kaijing's room, although the room temperature was normal, he felt cold without any warmth.
But once he left Feng Kaijing's sight, he didn't feel this way.
Morong knew that Commander Feng's cultivation was becoming more and more impressive: "I have seen a lot of masters who have perfected the Eighth Realm, but none of them are as scary as Lord Feng. There are rumors that Lord Feng has already reached the Ninth Realm, but I don't know. Yes or no……"
Of course he hopes that Feng Kaijing will be as strong as possible. Only in this way will their Zhenyi Guards be stronger and better able to intimidate the warriors of the world.
However, the Commander-in-Chief of the Zhen Yiwei made this position appear to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but it was very difficult to do, and not everyone could sit securely.
Feng Kaijing was able to manage Zhenyiwei to its current peak, and it took an incredible amount of effort!
Humans are only human beings, not gods. If we are distracted, it will be difficult to achieve perfection at both ends.
The same goes for Feng Kaijing. He had perfected the Eighth Realm many years ago, but because Zhenyiwei was busy with worldly affairs, he was distracted from his care, so that his cultivation could not be perfected, and he was still unable to enter the Nineth Realm.
This is something that many people regret.
"Even if it's not the ninth realm, it's probably not much inferior, right?" Morong murmured to himself. Every time he came into contact with Feng Kaijing, he could sense the pressure coming from the ethereal void.
That is definitely not the momentum that can be achieved by the eight realms of perfection!
This is also the reason why no one dares to come here to make themselves uncomfortable in these years unless it is for compelling business!
"That's all! These are not things that I, a person who has just cultivated to the upper three realms, can imagine. I should handle the things Master Feng told me more beautifully, lest he blame me!" Thinking like this, Morong gradually walked away.
Feng Kaijing was the only one left in the room again.
He sat in silence for a long time, and finally there was some movement. He opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on a booklet on the table in front of him.
Slowly, he opened it and took a few glances, then lowered his head and pondered again, his expression remaining unchanged as usual.
After a while, he threw the booklet on the table and continued to think.
The room was so silent that even his breathing could not be heard, and even the open window could not let in the slightest breeze.
The entire space is his domain. As long as he doesn't move, everything is quiet.
Only the open book still told that someone had just touched it.
On the front page of the opened booklet, you can see the dense text on it.
There are only two words in the first line: Chu Tang.
Below is his place of origin, age, and life story.
In addition, there are also his martial arts skills, as well as his brilliant achievements in fighting with others, etc.
No matter how small or small, nothing is missed!
If Chu Tang were here, he would be shocked, because even he couldn't remember many of the things recorded in the book, but he recorded them in detail, and even listed some of the things he said.
This thing is no different from his autobiography!
Of course, Feng Kaijing didn't look very carefully. He only knew that there was such a person, and this person had already entered Beijing yesterday.
Time passed unconsciously, and soon the sky became dark.
One day passed.
Feng Kaijing, who had been sitting for a whole day, completely came back to his senses.
He cleaned up for a while and walked out of the room. Under the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone, he left the yamen alone, got into his exclusive carriage, and drove home under the skillful control of the driver.
On the street outside the Yamen, many people recognized his carriage and did not dare to approach it, so they all dodged for fear of being out of reach.
After walking for a while, the coachman suddenly said softly: "Master, it seems that someone is following our carriage. This man is very good at Qinggong and Qinggong!"
Feng Kaijing in the car had no expression on his face, without blinking an eyelid, and said calmly: "Ignore him, continue to go home. But Feng San, you have lowered your alertness. This person has been appearing near me since yesterday." , followed us several times, you didn’t realize it until now. He should be coming for me. "
"Ah?" The groom was startled and felt uneasy, but he didn't dare to say anything anymore and walked on silently. (End of chapter)
