The majestic Dragon City is like a hill protruding on the Thousand Mile Plain, lying in the east and west directions, blocking the cold wind coming from the north, blocking the rolling smoke and dust, and blocking the angry horse of iron arrows... It invisibly became the last barrier to protect the vast Central Plains behind it.

There are still mottled traces left on the walls of the Arrow Tower around Longcheng. These are all left by the Northern Hu people. The fierce Northern Hu cavalry once drank horses by the moat, and the Northern Hu cavalry even urinated in this river.

However, these humiliations were completely erased several years ago. That year, King Chulie of Zhao personally led the coalition forces of the five countries, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Han, and Zhongshan, with the general Yuan Rong as the vanguard, and went out of Jicheng to the north to fight the Beihu people. They won six battles and six victories. Countless generous men were stained with blood on the battlefield, and the heroic sang tragic songs... Finally, they finally defeated the main force of the Beihu cavalry, chased and chased hundreds of miles north, causing the Beihu people to be frightened and their vitality was severely damaged. From then on until today, a full ten years have passed, and they have never been able to launch a large-scale invasion again.

Ten years can make a kingdom prosperous and aging the face of a generation of heroes. King Chulie of Zhao, who is known for his toughness and courage, cannot escape the ruthlessness of the law of time. Since the past winter, his physical condition has become worse and worse. In the hearts of all the people of Zhao, it is no longer a secret.

As one of the strongest vassal states at that time, any minor changes in the political situation of Zhao State were naturally closely watched by other countries in the world. In particular, the physical condition of Zhao King Chulie became the top priority for countless eyes. Whether it was an allies or enemies, in the past six months, countless spy intelligence agents were sneaking into Zhao State's territory openly and secretly.

There are naturally countless secret battles, cruelly strangling each other. Iron-blooded killing and secret lurking, spy shadows and turbulent clouds, and almost every moment they happen in corners that ordinary people don’t know.

Of course, in the eyes of the people of Zhao, they are still very satisfied with their current stable life. Especially when they hear the wars and tragic situations of displacement in recent years in several nearby countries... everyone cherishes everything in front of them. At the same time, in the devout prayer of most people, asking God to bless King Zhao's health has become the most sincere wish.

The most direct manifestation of this is that in almost every household in the ancestral hall, except for the tablets of their ancestors, there is an important position. Although there is nothing there, everyone knows what is worshipped there!

Due to some taboo, living people cannot set up tablets. The people of Zhao can only use this method to express their gratitude and blessings to the King of Zhao who brought them a stable life.

Many people who came to Longcheng from all over the world, no matter their identity and purpose, would feel very strange at the beginning. However, after they knew the profound meaning contained in it, they were shocked without exception.

"Chu Lie is in Japan, and Zhao State cannot be taken advantage of!"

This sentence has appeared in secret letters in almost every secret intelligence system of vassal states. This is definitely not an exaggeration, but it is the most real reality.

Zhao Zhilong City is located in the center of the northern part of the world, blocking north and south, and traversing east and west. It is undoubtedly the most important strategic location. In the eyes of countless generals and strategists, there have been countless plans for their king to annex this fertile land. But in the end they all gave up.

No matter how ambitious the king is, the general with a armor of 100,000, or the planner is planning, no matter how perfect or meticulous their plan is, it will be useless. Because, the chessboard in the world is traversing everywhere, and countless chess pieces are moved around, but they can never get around the center of the one!

Among countless sighs of regret, it was just because of one person. In the past few years, as long as this person was still in the Dragon City, even if a breath was still there, no one in the four directions would dare to shoot an arrow in this direction.

The southwest of Longcheng is the endless Jiuxing Mountains. A big river is surrounding this. The benefits of the mountains and rivers add a magnificent color to Longcheng. However, when the remaining spring is about to end, thick clouds cover the sky above Longcheng, and the glorious aura of the past gradually fades away. Many people begin to feel panic deep in their hearts. They have to look at Jinxiang Palace from afar every day, fearing that something terrifying would happen there.

Outside the south gate of Longcheng is a whole market and trade trading office. This is already the largest gathering place for merchants to gather north of the Yellow River. Not only are many merchants from various vassal states in the world trading goods here, but even the Hu people in Liaodong, at sea, and even the northern Hu people would also sell goods here. Under the strong protection of Zhao, this place has existed for many years.

After all, war belongs to war, and commodity circulation belongs to commodity circulation. In order to pursue huge benefits, merchants sometimes do not care about taking risks. And the power of the vassal states naturally will not prohibit it. Therefore, in the days without war, this place is still extremely prosperous.

And in this place where merchants gather, there is a very famous restaurant. This three-story wooden restaurant is called "Star and Moon Tower". Merchants, passers-by, as well as noble people inside and outside Longcheng, often gather here for banquets or stop to rest. The business is booming, so there is no need to mention in detail.

Although Xingyue Tower has just been built for a few years, it is famous for its unique dishes and delicious food. Especially recently, a wine that is different from other places in the world has been launched here. Anyone who has tasted it will praise it. After the news spread, there are many people who came to taste the wine only.

It was a bit strange. Until now, people outside did not know who the real owner of this Star Moon Tower was. However, among countless secret suspicions, there must be an extremely powerful figure behind the scenes where the Sun Fights of Gold is like this.

It was almost noon, and it was the time when the guests were full. There were almost no empty seats on the three floors of Xingyue Tower. Many late merchants could only chat and wait in the open space in the square in front of the building. Everyone came from all over the world, so they could exchange information. After waiting for a while, it didn't matter much.

However, not long after, the arrival of a group of people attracted many people's attention. Because everyone was waiting in an orderly manner. This group was obviously a person who was rushing to the road. After stopping the car, he walked directly into the Xingyue Tower. He looked like he was at his own house. This made people feel a little uneasy. Especially when they stepped into the entrance of the building, the restaurant shopkeepers and several shops who had everyone waiting for the empty seats outside with a lukewarm attitude, they flashed aside without any concern and let them go in. Since they were all here to drink and eat, of course they had to be treated fairly. Someone immediately started to shout with dissatisfaction.

"Why let them in first? We have been waiting here for a long time!"

"That's right, just... there must be someone who comes first and then! Your restaurant is doing this, I'm afraid there will be no customers in the future!"

"Didn't you say there are no empty seats? You, the shopkeeper, are you lying to someone?"

"It's outrageous! Uncle, am I the one who is short of money? Since there are still spaces, tell me... how much is it? Humph!"

Since some people were dissatisfied and started to yell, many people who originally thought it was indifferent also joined in the fun. Everyone was talking about it, asking the restaurant shopkeepers not to favor one and treat them fairly.

In theory, this is of course the restaurant’s fault. When doing business, you must pay attention to being kind and making money. In this case, since it has caused dissatisfaction among diners, the best solution is to apologize to everyone as soon as possible and explain it in detail so that the restaurant’s reputation can be restored. It is a small matter, and no one should be too concerned.

However, what he didn't expect was that the restaurant shopkeeper who had a kind attitude was abnormal now and became extremely arrogant. He winked at several burly shop owners, then shouted loudly to the people outside with his hips.

"What are you guys yelling at? You're still begging you for a meal. You can eat here and eat it if you don't eat it. Do we still need you to pay for the Xingyue Tower? We'll close the door and close the door soon. You can find another place!"

The shopkeeper pulled a long voice and told the shop owner to watch carefully and not let anyone in. Then he turned around and went there on his own. This shocked everyone waiting outside. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing that the shopkeeper of the restaurant suddenly became so heartless and became so ruthless.

However, they did not see that the slightly short and fat shopkeeper had already run to the third floor, and his speed seemed to have suddenly become more than 10 years younger. When they caught up with the figure in front, they quickly opened a hall door at the end of the corridor. His waist was bent to ninety degrees, and his face was as if a flower was blooming.

"Little Prince! You are back. You must be exhausted if you are such a long way... You can sit and rest first, and I will immediately send you food and drinks as quickly as possible!"

In the open hall door in front of him was a private room with extremely gorgeous decoration. Chu Jiangmian, the prince of Zhao, who stopped, was obviously relieved, as if he had relieved his fatigue of running around for several days. He smiled and patted the short and fat shopkeeper's shoulder and said in a sarcasm.
