The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

At this time, Qi Jiu took a large flag from a soldier and said, "Your Majesty, this is the flag of Fugui City that we designed. Please take a look."

After saying that, he ordered two soldiers to slowly open the city flag.

Zixuan looked around and saw that the entire flag was sky blue, with gold edges all around it.

There is a large square in the center of the blue flag, and the inner layer of the square is red on all four sides.

In the center of the red stripe, a majestic falcon was embroidered with golden thread. Zixuan liked it very much after seeing it.

Qi Jiu looked at Zi Xuan with a sincere gaze and said, "Your Majesty, the reason we didn't hang up the city flag is because we are unworthy."

"Now, please, Your Majesty, personally hang this flag on the flagpole of Fugui City!"

Good! Zixuan nodded heavily: "Good! You are so thoughtful!"

So, surrounded by the crowd, she came to the flagpole in front of the city wall, took the blue flag with both hands, and gently hung it on the flagpole.

Immediately, the blue flag slowly rose to the top of the flagpole.

Everyone looked at the city flag fluttering in the wind and shouted excitedly: "Long live the king! Long live Fugui City!"

Zixuan also shed tears of excitement and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This time I finally feel at ease and now I finally have a city of my own.

In the years to come, this sturdy city will become my foothold for life.

At this moment, Zixuan's cell phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and pressed the answer button.

The call on the phone was from the captain of the reconnaissance company. He reported that Xu Tu, the prefect of Donglai County, had been spotted and was mobilizing yamen runners, servants, and guards from all over the place to rush towards the county town.

After Zixuan hung up the phone, he asked Boss Ji, "Boss Ji, who is this Xu Tu?"

Boss Ji thought for a moment and said, "My lord, please call Qi Wu from the Inspectorate and ask him. We'll know the answer."

"Yes," she agreed, and immediately summoned the weapon with her mind.

After Qiwu exchanged greetings, Zixuan asked, "Qiwu, have you investigated Xu Tu, the governor of Donglai County? Do you know anything about this man?"

"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated the matter and was planning to report to you within the next two days."

"This Xu Tu is the governor sent by the King of Qi to take charge of Donglai County. He is greedy, lustful, and cruel."

"Hundreds of people have died as a result of the robbery and the rape of women."

"He also colluded with Li Fang, the county garrison commander, to seize thousands of acres of fertile farmland from the people."

"It directly caused thousands of people to go hungry and become homeless."

After hearing this, Zixuan was so angry that his teeth were itching: "Xu Tu, Li Fang, I didn't expect you to be such hateful people!"

"Boss Ji, Qiwu, I order you to lead one hundred soldiers and sneak into the city of Donglai County."

"Quickly arrest Xu Tu and Li Fang and bring them to the palace. I will personally interrogate them in court!"

"Yes, sir!" the two replied and left.

At this moment, a tall robot commander pointed in the direction of Qi and shouted, "Your Majesty, look! A Qi army is approaching from afar!"

When Zixuan heard the sound, he looked and saw an army of 50,000 to 60,000 people slowly walking towards the city gate four or five miles away.

She quickly called over the commander and asked, "What's your name? What's your official position?"

"Your Majesty! My name is Ji Liu, and I am the commander of the West Gate!"

Zixuan nodded: "Okay, I order you to prepare for battle immediately!"

“Yes!” Ji Liu agreed and went to prepare.

Zixuan took out a military telescope and looked at the Qi army.

In the Qi army, the officials Shuyi and Cui Zhu sat in chariots and walked slowly in the middle of the team, chatting leisurely.

Cui Zhu took a sip of tea and said to Shu Yi, "Master Shu, we're almost at Donglai Commandery. Why haven't Xu Tu and Li Fang come to greet us yet?"

"Doctor Cui, Yi doesn't know either. He has already sent Chi Hou out to investigate. He should be back soon."

Before Shuyi finished speaking, a fast horse came galloping in front of them.

A Red Marquis immediately jumped off his horse, knelt down, and clasped his fists, saying, "My Lords, a tall city has appeared five miles ahead."

"The city is about thirty feet high, and the gates and towers are all gleaming with golden light."

"Above the city gate is inscribed 'Wealthy City' in three large golden characters. Beneath the city wall is a wide moat."

Now, the gates of Fugui City are closed, and the drawbridge is high. We can't enter the city, and we can't find out the news from Donglai County City!"

The two were shocked after hearing this. They immediately stood up and looked towards Donglai County with their hands on their shoulders.

Four or five miles away, a tall city stood majestically. Above the city gate, three golden characters could be vaguely seen: "Wealthy City"

Above the city gates and towers, you can also vaguely see outlines gleaming with golden light.

What's going on? Could it be that Princess Xuan has already built the city wall?

How could it be possible? How could a wall nearly a thousand miles long be built so quickly in just three days? Could she be using some kind of magic?

The two of them were confused and guessing wildly in their hearts. Cui Zhu looked at Shu Yi anxiously and asked, "Sir Shu, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Shuyi sighed and said, "Alas, there is nothing we can do about this matter. Originally, we came here to stop Princess Xuan from building the city wall."

"But now, their city wall has been built, what can we do to stop them?"

"My Lord, didn't the King say that if Princess Xuan completed the city wall, he would order us to capture her and send her to Linzi to be punished?"

"Haha, capture Princess Xuan? How?"

"Look at that city wall, it's about thirty feet high, and we don't have any siege equipment. Want to capture Princess Xuan? Isn't that a daydream!"

Cui Zhu was a little panicked: "Uncle, what should I do?"

"Well, at this point, we can only take things one step at a time. Let's go to the city first and see what the situation is."

After the two men finished speaking, they ordered the army to continue moving forward. Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the moat under Fugui City.

Zixuan sat on a sun lounger in front of the city wall, looking at the Qi army below with disdain, and drinking milk tea leisurely.

At this moment, she saw an officer walk out from the army below the city and shout towards the city wall: "Listen up, people on the city wall, who is the gatekeeper? Come and answer quickly!"

Zixuan waved at Jiliu, who understood. He tapped his mouth with his hands and shouted, "I'm Jiliu! I'm the commander here. If you have anything to say, please tell me now!"

Jun Gong bowed and said, "General Ji, please wait a moment. My master wants to ask you something."

The officer withdrew. Cui Zhu and Shu Yi rode in their chariots and arrived at the foot of the city. "General Ji, I would like to see Princess Xuan, the lord of Guicheng. Please open the city gates and let us in."

Ji Liu looked at Zi Xuan, who nodded. "Uncle! My king is on the city wall. If you have anything to say, please speak quickly!"

At this time, Zixuan also stood up and walked to the front of the gate. He lowered his head and looked at Shuyi and Cui Zhu: "Two gentlemen, I wonder why the enemy is at the gate today?"

Shuyi angrily demanded, "Princess Xuan! Don't ask questions when you already know the answer! A few days ago, you reported to the king that you wanted to build a city wall."

"The king only allows you to build on the east, south, and north sides. He has not allowed you to build on the Donglai County bordering Qi State!"

"Why did you disobey the king's order and take the initiative to include the land of Donglai County within the Guicheng fiefdom? Are you planning a rebellion?"

"Haha, Shuyi, I built the city wall to protect my home and my country, and to prevent the people from suffering from war."

"Besides, Donglai County originally belonged to the territory of Lai State. What's wrong with me enclosing it in Fugui City? How can I say it's a rebellion?"

"Shuyi! Cui Zhu! I don't want to waste time talking to you! Right now, I have two options for you. One is to retreat!"

"Second, have the King of Qi come to Fugui City and meet with me in person!"

"It's up to you to choose which of these two paths you choose!"

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and sat back on the sun lounger, cracking melon seeds.
