Flying Clouds in Another World

Spring ends, summer comes, and autumn comes again!

It’s early August, Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away!

Fifty miles outside the imperial capital Changluo, at the post station on the fast horse road of Wangtianpo, Liu Feiyun rode on a horse and looked at the huge Changluo City from afar.

The imperial capital Changluo, also known as the Heavenly Capital Changluo and the Divine Capital Changluo, is the largest city in the empire and also the largest city in the entire world.

This world does not refer to the eastern region of the northern continent as known to ordinary people, but the upper class

The entire planet known to the nobles.

There are millions of families in Changluo, and the whole world is prosperous!

This poem describing the prosperity of Changluo is not an exaggeration! On the contrary, it is a bit of a small cover up the big.

"According to statistics from the 300th year of the empire, there were 1.2 million registered permanent residents in Changluo City at that time, not to mention the one million floating population and 180,000 stationed troops!" Wu Xin introduced to Liu Feiyun enthusiastically.

"The entire Changluo City covers an area of ​​3,000 square miles (about 75 square kilometers). It is roughly rectangular, 50 miles wide from east to west and 60 miles long from north to south, so it is also called the Three Thousand Mile City. The city is divided into two major parts: the North City and the South City. The North City is slightly smaller, covering an area of ​​1,000 square miles. There is the palace where Your Majesty lives, the imperial city where Your Majesty and the officials handle government affairs, the camp of the Imperial Guards, and the residences of princes and nobles. The South City is where general officials and ordinary people live and work. Major markets and various commercial and entertainment venues are also built here. The outer gate of the North City is usually not open to the public. If you want to enter Changluo City, you can only go through the three gates of the South City."

"The fast horse road we are walking on now can directly lead to Qinglong Gate, the main gate on the east side of the South City. After passing Qinglong Gate, follow Qinglong Street to Tianyuan Square in the center of the South City, then turn north to enter the Imperial City District of the North City. After reporting to the Territory Bureau and offering tribute, you can go to the Old Earl's Mansion in Xiwu District to pay your respects to the old earl!"

"At our current speed, we should be able to reach Qinglong Gate before noon. But before we go on the highway, we need to tidy up our appearance at the post station, so as not to embarrass the Earl after entering the city."

Wu Xin talked incessantly, and Liu Feiyun and others listened with great interest.

"In that case, let's all tidy up our clothes or armor and cheer up! We'll be on the road in a moment! Enter the capital!" Liu Feiyun gave an order, and everyone started to get busy again! Not long after, a team consisting of twelve four-wheeled carriages and dozens of knights left Wangjing East Posthouse, got on the road, and headed straight for Changluo.

The Fast Horse Road was the best road in the empire, and could accommodate four large four-wheeled carriages running side by side at high speed. Every fifty miles, there were horses for transfers and official inns for travelers to stay and rest. However, if you wanted to travel on the Fast Horse Road, you either had to show a pass issued by the relevant government office or pay a high toll.

To put it bluntly, this is the otherworldly version of highways and service areas.

Of course, traveling on the fast horse road was naturally very fast. Even if it was fully loaded with goods, the distance of fifty miles was only taken a little more than an hour.

When we arrived at the Qinglong Gate, it was still early before noon.

Liu Feiyun looked up at the city wall that was forty zhang (one hundred meters, this book uses 1 foot and 25 centimeters, 1 zhang and 2.5 meters, and 200 zhang is one li) and felt that Changluo City was even more majestic and tall.

"This is Changluo City! The most prosperous place in the world! Changluo City! I, Liu Feiyun, am here!"

While Liu Feiyun was marveling at the grandeur and majestic momentum of Changluo City, passers-by nearby were also amazed at the murderous aura of the armored knights in their team.

There was no other way. These soldiers were all the Tiger Guards who had participated in the Northern Wilderness Invasion War at the beginning of the year. Each of them had killed at least a dozen Northern Wilderness barbarians. How could they not have murderous intent!

In addition, what amazed passers-by the most were the two walking men. One of them held a huge axe and the other held a wolf-tooth club. They were wearing heavy armor, but they walked very fast, and their speed was no slower than that of the knights.

On the contrary, the team leader Liu Feiyun did not attract much attention.

Although he was riding a horse now, he didn't look like an elite warrior, let alone the legendary little butcher who ordered the massacre of tens of thousands of barbarians.

At this time, he was wearing a scholar's robe, and with his slightly thin figure, he looked like a scholar who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Some people even thought he was just a servant or a young accountant.

The team followed the highway straight to the main gate of Qinglong Gate, and did not take the official road next to it to go to the secondary gate.

"Stop! Who are you? How dare you go through the main gate? Don't you know that ordinary people can't go through the main gate? Tell us your identities quickly! Otherwise, you will be arrested for trespassing through the main gate of Qinglong!"

A soldier guarding the city gate shouted loudly. Judging from the style of the armor he was wearing, he should be the commander of a battalion.

His leader is not a private leader like the civilian guards, but a real leader.

The real commander of the Imperial Guard Battalion, in charge of more than 800 soldiers.

The leader of the Tiger Power Iron Guard raised his hand and signaled the team to stop. Then, he dismounted and walked up to the commander of the Imperial Guards, saluted with his arms crossed, and answered loudly: "Your Excellency! We are from the Tiger Power Iron Guard Battalion under the command of Le Anbo of Anping County, Yunzhou. We are ordered to escort our prince and the offerings to the capital! This is our march pass, please take a look!"

After the iron guard finished his salute, he hurriedly took out a token and a marching route from his leather bag.

The commander returned the salute, took the token and the marching pass, said "Wait a moment!", and hurried into the city gate to find his immediate superior.

Not long after, a middle-aged soldier in his forties or fifties came slowly over.

"Are you the people sent by Earl Le'an of Anping County? I wonder which one is Prince Liu Feiyun? Can you come forward and answer the question?"

The armor on this person was not an ordinary military standard armor, but a low-end spiritual armor. Moreover, Liu Feiyun also discovered that this spiritual armor was produced by the Miyun Sect's Kuitian Pavilion, and the price in the sect last year was only 1,500 taels of silver, which is 150 taels of gold.

Liu Feiyun's mind was moved: This spiritual armor may be granted by the emperor for great merit, but the court will not distribute it for free. If the soldiers think the armor they are given is not good and want better spiritual armor, they can only buy it out of their own pockets. But looking at the age of this officer, and the aura of cultivation he felt, plus he was assigned to guard the city gate, he doesn't look like someone from a wealthy family.

Liu Feiyun was guessing secretly in his heart, but on the surface he had already dismounted and greeted him with a smile.

"Junior Liu Feiyun, nice to meet you, sir! I don't know why you called me, but is there any problem with this march pass?"

Liu Feiyun asked respectfully.
