We bear people have power

Although Mei San was exceptionally knowledgeable, Princess Hongyu was still among the top three beauties he had ever seen.

Could someone like that be an assassin? Unless they're out of their mind. Assassins aim to catch their prey off guard and strike a fatal blow. Who could ignore such a beauty? She'd practically be surrounded by onlookers on the street.

Could it be a honey trap? Taking advantage of Zuo Lingfeng's confusion and infatuation to strike a fatal blow? But why would such a beautiful woman resort to such ruthless methods? Could it be a debt of love caused by Zuo Lingfeng's initial infatuation followed by abandonment?

A certain great writer was right; Chinese people's thinking jumps particularly wildly at this level.

Shu Yan immediately realized that Mei San had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "Chief Constable, this is Princess Hongyu of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. The one under your feet is the prisoner."

Zhao Jingfeng looked annoyed because he had been knocked to the ground by Shu Yan and no one had helped him up. Then, the room was a bit small, and Mei San walked in and stepped right on him, seemingly oblivious to the inconvenience.

The key point is that Mei San stepped directly on his face.

Mei San looked down and saw Zhao Jingfeng, and quickly let go of his foot.

Fortunately, Mei San's lightness skill was superb, and the stomp didn't disfigure him. However, precisely because of this, Zhao Jingfeng's heart sank. A living person was stepping on him, and he hadn't felt a thing.

This was unintentional on the part of the other party, which shows that this person's lightness skill has reached a state of perfection, and I am no match for him.

Isn't this Great Zhou Kingdom just a small, sparsely populated country in the Western Regions? How come so many experts have pledged their allegiance to it? Isn't there something wrong with it?

No one had time to explain to Zhao Jingfeng; Mei San simply threw him into jail. They were too busy today to interrogate him for the time being.

Zhao Jingfeng watched Mei San leave without touching the ground, and it took him a while to come to his senses. No matter how high Mei San's lightness skill was, sending him to prison was the biggest mistake he ever made.

"Hmph, once I break through my acupoints, escaping from here won't be difficult at all. But this cell is surprisingly clean."

Zhao Jingfeng sat cross-legged and began silently circulating the method to break through the acupoints. Before long, a jet of energy shot out from his mouth, finally forcing out the true energy that had been stagnating in his body and blocking his meridians.

Once his strength was fully restored, Zhao Jingfeng took off his boots and pulled out an iron bar from inside.

"Hmph, they even forgot to search him. This so-called chief constable is nothing special," Zhao Jingfeng said smugly.

A man who roams the martial world must possess some skill. Zhao Jingfeng was confident that he could open any lock in the world with the iron bar in his hand.

Before they could even do anything, a cellmate next to them said, "If you don't want to suffer, you'd better not touch that lock."

Zhao Jingfeng turned his head and saw an old man with disheveled hair, who looked like he had been in prison for quite some time.

Zhao Jingfeng refused to believe it. He grabbed the iron bar and tried to poke it into the keyhole on the cell door. But the moment the iron bar touched the keyhole, it burst into a dazzling flash of electricity. Zhao Jingfeng felt a jolt all over his body, and then he foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.

The old man laughed and said, "Finally, someone else is suffering the same pain as me."

Zhao Jingfeng didn't know how long he had been lying on the ground, only that when he got up his face was dry, and when he touched it, he found that it was traces of dried saliva.

He was clearly a dashing young swordsman, but he fainted while foaming at the mouth, which would definitely ruin his image if anyone found out.

Fortunately, the electric shock only knocked Zhao Jingfeng unconscious and didn't cause him to lose his memory; otherwise, he would probably have had to go through it again after waking up.

Zhao Jingfeng angrily threw the iron bar in his hand at the cell door. There was a crackling sound and a burst of electricity. It turned out that the cell door was always electrified. No wonder the old man warned him not to do anything reckless.

This design is absolutely outrageous!

“I told you not to do anything reckless,” the old man next to him said again.

"You've been electrocuted by this machine before?" Zhao Jingfeng immediately realized.

elder:"……"

He really wanted to ask, "Do you even know how to talk to someone? Why are you bringing up something you don't want to talk about?"

"The people of the Great Zhou Kingdom actually used sorcery in the prison?! Are there so many cultivators here that they can be used as handymen?" Zhao Jingfeng exclaimed in shock.

In his opinion, no one but cultivators could wield this power of lightning, but to have even the prison cells used to hold prisoners imbued with lightning magic was far too extravagant.

Even the treasure vaults of those centuries-old aristocratic families in Chang'an don't have such extravagant mechanisms. Hmm, don't ask Zhao Jingfeng how he knows.

"Do you know who this Great Zhou Kingdom belongs to?" the old man asked.

"Don't know? The Western Regions are constantly at war. Every few years, several small countries are added, and countless countries are destroyed. Who can remember that clearly?" Zhao Jingfeng said disdainfully.

"Haha, your ignorance is just like mine back then."

Zhao Jingfeng was furious. If it weren't for the cell separating them, he would have definitely taught this old man a lesson.

However, the old man immediately added, "Let me tell you, the Great Zhou Kingdom was originally just a small city with a population of 50,000. Now it has a population of two million, with ten cities of varying sizes, making it the most prosperous place in the world."

"If this small town is the richest place in the world, then what is Chang'an? I really don't know who is ignorant," Zhao Jingfeng said disdainfully.

Admittedly, this city has many strange and wonderful things, but Zhao Jingfeng certainly wouldn't believe it was richer than the Tang Dynasty.

"Chang'an is nothing. I've been there before. I paid tribute every year and came to court every year. I know Chang'an better than you do, but after seeing it so many times, it's just like that. Although the Tang Dynasty's territory is vast, it is far from comparable to the Zhou Dynasty," the old man sighed.

"Tribute? Who exactly are you?"

"The former king of Xiaowan is now just a prisoner," the old man said helplessly.

When the five-nation coalition attacked Sickle Hammer City, Xiaowan Kingdom was the weakest. As soon as Zhang Yuanshan's air force appeared, Xiaowan Kingdom's army collapsed, crying and screaming on their knees.

Such cowardice would make Zhang Yuanshan too embarrassed to take action. Therefore, Xiaowan could be considered the country that suffered the least loss.

But then the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Sicklehammer City, not only concerned with appearances but also with substance, had an insatiable appetite and swallowed up all five kingdoms. The former ruler is now a prisoner in Chicken City. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll never be able to leave.

Zhao Jingfeng never expected that a king would be living next to him.

"How did you end up here?" Zhao Jingfeng asked.

"Because I offended the Great Zhou Dynasty, my country was destroyed by a god who descended from the heavens, and I naturally became a prisoner," the old man sighed.

"A deity? Are you kidding me?" Zhao Jingfeng didn't believe it at all.

"I didn't believe it at first either, but after seeing those 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals descend from the sky and capture me alive from the palace, I realized that all the legends of the Panda Immortal Venerable were true. In this world, there is a paradise on earth, where there are flames that never go out and springs that prolong life; there, everyone can cultivate to become an immortal and live forever; there are also mountains of gold and silver mines, and endless blessings for a lifetime. If you sincerely join the city, you will become a member of this paradise; if you overestimate yourself and try to steal the wealth of this paradise city, then you will be courting your own destruction."

The old man kept talking incoherently, which made Zhao Jingfeng think he had lost his mind.

"I know you don't believe me, but you will eventually. Because you are now in the Great Zhou Kingdom, right here in this fairyland. Why do you think there's lightning in this prison? It's because there's an eternal flame underground, which is transformed into lightning through something they call an electric motor. The Great Zhou Kingdom possesses such a divine artifact, and no one in the world can rival it," the old man said excitedly.

Although Zhao Jingfeng still thought the man was crazy, he couldn't help but feel a little wavering.

Could it be that this Great Zhou Kingdom truly possesses some extraordinary nature?
