I Have An Impenetrable Fortress

A group of members of the Chen clan looked at the majestic Chang'an City in the distance, and there was some hope in their hearts.

However, the long period of exile left many people in doubt.

"After all, the Eastern Tang Dynasty is powerful, and it is not only the Eastern King's royal family who are in trouble with us, but also other big forces..."

A young man whispered: "Let's leave the Eastern Tang border and go somewhere else?"

"It's not easy to leave Dongtang and gain a foothold in other places."

The old man next to him sighed: "If you want to return to your hometown in the future, it will be even more difficult."

Everyone was discussing, when suddenly there was a crisp voice:

"Rumor has it that Longling has always been desolate, why would there be an extra city out of thin air?"

The person who spoke was a girl about fourteen or five years old.

She rolled her eyes, looking curiously at Chang'an City in the distance.

"Of course someone built it here..." The person who answered her suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence and fell into deep thought.

The long-bearded middle-aged man in the lead nodded slowly:

"The fourteenth brother said earlier that there is a barren mountain in Longling, and there was no road in the first place.

The road leading to Baiyunyuan from outside the mountain was opened up not long ago by a group of Tang troops in order to attack Chang'an. "

As he spoke, he looked at the city wall about four feet high and several miles long in the distance.

"There are no roads in the barren mountains and mountains, but they can open up such a large piece of flat ground and find bricks and stones to build the city. How can ordinary people do this?"

The middle-aged man with long beard said, looking around at the clansmen around him.

Everyone was lost in thought at this moment.

That's right, compared to the people who found the city over the mountains and mountains later, how did such a city be built from nothing in the first place?

"Here, perhaps not only can our Chen clan rise again in Eastern Tang, but it can also regain its former glory."

The middle-aged man with long beard had a strange light in his eyes: "Even if it's not good, we can keep safe and prosper, as long as we can gain a firm foothold in this city."

The rest of the Chen family nodded and followed the bearded middle-aged man towards the city gate.

Near the gate of the city, everyone stopped.

One of the Chen family came out, and it was one of the three people who were hunted down and rescued by Chang'an.

He walked towards the city gate and found that there were more people standing guard here than that day.

The other party did not make things difficult, and after the conversation, he simply said: "All of you, you need to go to the relevant departments in the city to file for the record, and wait for Mr. Wu Yun to make a further decision."

"The dog is in the city now, can I meet him?"

"Yes, you enter the city first, and I can notify you on your behalf."

A guard led the group of Chen family members into the city, and then walked towards the center of the city.

On the way, the young man from the Chen family who stayed in the city rushed over.

After he thanked the guard, he led the clansmen to file.

"Feng'er, what is the origin of the guards at the door just now?" An elder in the clan asked the boy.

The young man hurriedly replied: "Seventh Uncle, those people belong to the relevant departments in the city, they handle the city's government affairs, they are assigned to the gate of the city, and they review people who enter and leave the gate."

Seeing that the clansmen were a little confused, he explained: "The so-called 'relevant departments' are the government offices in the city, and Mr. Wu Yun, the confidant of the city lord of Chang'an, is in charge."

The others nodded knowingly.

The young man continued: "There is another government office in the city, called the 'juzi'. I heard that it is responsible for law enforcement and criminal law. It is currently being prepared. It won't be long before someone will be sent to the city. Door."

The middle-aged man with long beard asked: "Who can enter the yamen in the city?"

"The refugees settled here and became the common people in the city. Some talents were selected among them and used by Chang'an."

The young man replied: "Besides ordinary people, there is a small martial arts sect here in Qinzhou Mansion, Longbei County.

It is called the Hanshan School.

It is said that someone from the Hanshan School made great contributions to the city, and was appreciated by Mr. Wu Yun. Many disciples were able to enter relevant departments and bureaus, and some of them held high positions. "

"Cold Mountain School?"

Everyone in the Chen family was at a loss.

Their ancestral land is far away from Longbei County, and few clansmen deal with them in this area.

Qinzhou Mansion is not familiar with it, let alone the Hanshan School.

However, they have come into contact with a lot of similar local forces in other places before.

"Isn't it not bad for a local snake in a place to become a fourth-level practitioner?"

An old man muttered to himself.

The young man nodded: "What Twelve Uncles said is right, the person with the highest cultivation level of the Hanshan Sect is their head, the warrior of the fourth realm, the warrior of the Yongwei realm."

When some people around heard the words, they immediately relaxed a lot.

"Only the sect of the fourth-level martial artist sits in the town, and he can take on great responsibilities in the city. Then I wait here, and there is a lot to do!"

The Chen family was in decline and was forced to go into exile. The masters and talents in the family were withered, and they were at a low point rarely seen in the history of their own family.

But even so, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

It's just that there are several warriors in the fourth realm in the team here right now.

The long-bearded middle-aged man in the lead has reached the sixth level of martial arts, the cultivation level of a military commander.

Moreover, the Chen family, as one of the famous families in the Eastern Tang Dynasty in the past, established a family based on martial arts and had a long history of family studies.

The inherited martial arts skills are far from comparable to local forces like the Hanshan School.

To be precise, not to mention the Qinzhou Mansion, even in the entire Longbei County, the Chen family in its heyday was enough to walk sideways, and can stand side by side with Taoist holy places like Wangzhen Temple.

To say that they are fallen phoenixes are not as good as chickens is really mean.

But even if it is really a fallen phoenix, it is not comparable to a sparrow.

"Chang'an City is a new establishment after all. Everything is in its infancy. We came at the right time and can take the lead."

Everyone in the Chen family was elated.

The impoverished atmosphere of being hunted down and suppressed before was finally swept away.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man with long beard frowned:

"Get carried away so quickly? This is not a place for you to do whatever you want."

An old man beside him smiled and said: "Jiezhi misunderstood, everyone can see the magic of this city, how could it be so arrogant that there are people who turn against customers and want to occupy the hearts of magpies' nests?

But compared to Han Shan and his ilk, my Chen clan is far superior in terms of current strength and potential.

Everyone serves Chang'an, how can others compare to us?

Even if there are forces that can compete with us in the future, we will also take the lead. In the future, Chang'an's high-level officials will definitely have a place in our family. "

The rest of the Chen family were also elated, full of hope for a new life in the future.

Only the young man who had been in the city before looked embarrassed.

"Feng'er, but what else is special?"

The middle-aged man with long beard noticed something strange about the boy and asked.

The young man looked around, seeing the enthusiastic faces of his relatives and friends, and couldn't help swallowing.

Everyone gradually realized something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

"Before, I competed with a disciple of the Hanshan sect..."

The boy hesitated, and finally gave a wry smile: "...lost."
