Qiankun Kingdom, royal capital, palace city.

"Is this the palace?"

Hong Li followed Hei Yang and walked slowly, looking around with probing eyes and analyzing with questions and answers to herself.

"There are fewer and fewer pedestrians along the way. It can't be wrong, right?"

Hongli didn't come to the capital very often. The only time she came to the capital was to visit relatives during the New Year.

She came and left in a hurry, so she was completely unfamiliar with the palace. Even when she saw palaces gradually appearing in her sight, she was still a little unsure.

"That's right, we'll be there soon as we walk along this road."

The guide on the side gave an affirmative answer, paused, and then lowered his voice and said: "Actually, although there were not many people coming and going here in the past, it was not as desolate as it is now.

The main reason is that the fifth prince incident happened the year before last. Because it was too big and the impact was too heavy, in the past two years, both members of the royal family and those who interacted with the royal family were not as active as before.

To put it mildly, it feels a bit lifeless here now!"

"After all, the fifth prince was rushed into the palace and dragged out by a group of people. He was sent away in public without consulting the royal family."

Hei Yang clicked his tongue at the side. He was also one of the participants and promoters of what happened back then. There is even some wool collected from the fifth prince in his warehouse now, which was his first pot of gold.

At this time, old things were brought up again, and Hei Yang couldn't help but sigh: "After all, you are a member of the royal family. If you make a mistake, you should be punished or executed. According to the past rules, you have to respect the process and wait for the royal family to issue a statement.

Do it again or something.

As a result, everyone didn't even pay attention to it and took action directly.

When everyone was gone, the royal family added a "punishment statement" as if to show their respect. Not only should they not be angry, but they also had to appease everyone. It can be said that they have lost all their face."

At this point, Hei Yang chuckled and said with a half-smiling expression: "Although the royal family has been embarrassed over the years, no one has come in openly and openly to arrest and judge the prince. Everyone can see this.

Well, this skinny camel is almost at its end."

Of course, the decline of such a royal family is also related to the fact that it did not have serious centralization of power when it was first established, or that it was not established as a dynastic royal family in the first place.

Different from those ancient systems that Hei Yang knew about in his previous life, there are no royal representatives, military power, and political power in the Qiankun Kingdom and even in most countries in the Traveling World.

In the early days, Chunchun was just a grassroots team supported by the appeal. Now it has developed into the so-called army without any formal system. It has always been paid for work...

All in all, he is just an abstract deformity that is getting by. His survival to this day is solely due to the simple folk customs in the travel world and his unwillingness to commit suicide.

The fifth prince took the lead and committed a terrible death. The hearts of the people were instantly scattered, and the entire royal family was almost wiped out.

The formation of this abstract royal family is actually a legacy of historical travel in the world.

As mentioned before, the predecessor of the Travel World was made up of patchwork fragments of a certain big world.

The earliest residents of the Traveling World also fled from that war-torn world, and their education levels and abilities varied greatly.

The living environment was harsh at first, and everyone who escaped was destitute. Only the tallest among the shortest were selected. The most courageous and capable people were selected as leaders, and they worked hard together.

In order to facilitate management and stabilize order, various positions and labor organizations were organized. They later became popular and formed the earliest leadership group in the travel industry.

When they established their leadership, they never thought about creating a regime that could last forever. We were both hungry and didn't think much about it. We would follow whoever could lead us to survive and have enough to eat.

Even many order systems are inherited and borrowed from the original big world!

So there is this: Your family calls itself the Royal Family, my family calls itself the Zongmen, and his family calls itself the Clan...

Just because you are called a royal family does not mean that you are the boss of this country, and my name is a sect or a family does not mean that I cannot get involved in the management of this country, which is a mess.

Judging from the normal development process, this kind of messy management system will soon have problems. By then, it will not be surprising to have quarrels and fights or even bloodshed.

Wait until everyone is tired of the pain from the beating, and then start licking the wounds while reorganizing the original system.

Finally, everyone worked together to come up with a complete and comprehensive new unified system through practice.

Logically it should be like this!

But the problem is that this is a spiritual world, and often one person can suppress thousands of dissatisfied people!

The earliest leaders relied on their own charisma and strength to force a chaotic group of people to live together peacefully!

That group of people all ran away from the war-torn world. No one wanted to continue fighting endlessly. They were all forced to become peace lovers of truth, goodness and beauty due to the lessons learned from past mistakes.

It was precisely this group of earliest residents of the Travel World who took the initiative and brought the entire Travel World atmosphere to a strange track.

Even later, that group of people reorganized the entire heavenly rules of the Traveling World, setting a relatively mild tone for the entire world.

For example, good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. This will indeed be reflected in part under the rules of heaven in the wandering world!

For this reason, there has never been a large-scale man-made disaster in the world of travel since ancient times.

The biggest one was the group of guys from Tianmen who wanted to take advantage of the bugs in the rules of heaven and illegally occupy the luck resources. After the incident was exposed, they were targeted by the entire sect of the Traveling World and even the self-consciousness of the Traveling World and became street rats.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The reason why the original group of people did this was precisely because they did not want their new hometown to be full of disputes and wars like the once overly martial world.

Because of this kind of behavior, most of the residents of the Travel World have lived a peaceful and stable life for thousands of years, which is obviously a good thing.

The disadvantage is that backward systems like the Qiankun Royal Family that should have been eliminated and improved thousands of years ago are only now beginning to show signs of collapse, which to some extent also curbs the development of some social systems.

When Hei Yang Hongli came to the capital this time, she was entrusted by someone to push this old and bloated carriage hanging from the cliff.

Speaking in human terms, the few surviving ancestors of the Qiankun Royal Family named Zheng learned about the current situation of their descendants and found that they were living better than their ancestors, but they also had the tendency to evolve into a stumbling block to world peace, and they felt sad in their hearts.

Very unhappy.

In addition, they originally wanted to ask Heiyang Hongli to help with purchasing, but suddenly they saw such a target. Several ancestors gave them a token that was said to be useful, and asked them to buy it for zero yuan, giving Ben.

The down-and-out royal family has a little surprise to make matters worse...

In fact, not only the royal family of Qiankun, but also the major sects of the Five Elements Sect and the four holy places, including the major families of the Five Colors Family, Heiyang Hongli had to make a trip to buy a wave of supplies for zero yuan in the name of his ancestors, cough cough

…

Of course, the ancestors are all decent people, and they will definitely not be too ruthless and will not cut off the flesh of their descendants. At most, they will just let out blood to exercise the hematopoietic function, which can be more beneficial to physical health and so on...

So the purchasing agent agreed upon became a prostitute ahem under the orders of the ancestors...

There’s a saying, it’s not too much to ask someone to help you go to your (offspring’s) home to get something, right?

We all have old arms and legs. We are drinking the cosmic version of Mistral outside to stand guard for you. We have finally opened a tribute channel. It is reasonable to improve our lives, right?

Although it looks like collecting protection fees from door to door, the pattern is larger. This is contributing strategic resources to protecting the entire world from foreign invasion! This is military expenditure! It cannot be saved!

Well, the reasons are all reasonable and the starting point is good, no problem!

But Hei Yang Hongli understood the truth, but they still couldn't help but feel guilty: "It's my first time to collect protection money and I'm so nervous. What should I do if I offend anyone?"

Therefore, Heiyang Hongli specially found a local guide to lead the way to ease her nervousness.

The guide was also a half-acquaintance of theirs. Hei Yang's cousin Hei Chen was the one they brought out of the Forgotten River.

Because most of the time you spend with the other person, the other person is half-dead, so you can only be considered a half-acquaintance.

As for Hei Chen, a half-acquaintance who was the victim of the incident involving the fifth prince, he would not have any sympathy for the seemingly desolate situation of the royal family. He just wanted to say it seemed like it!

Heiyang Hongli looked at the surrounding buildings while walking, trying to temporarily write down everything around him. It was not to appreciate the scenery, but mainly to estimate in his mind how much wealth the royal family surnamed Zheng currently had. He probably had an idea in his mind, so as not to miss anything.

Be careful if you really end up bankrupting someone else.

After all, he received the entrustment from his ancestors to pay (collect) the association (protection) merchant (fees), and he did not receive the reward from the other party's enemy to force his family to death...

However, as Hei Yang Hongli looked along, he realized that he was still too worried about the other party. Although the Zheng royal family was in decline, the foundation they had built over the years was still there.

Although with Hei Yang Hongli's current knowledge, the other party's little wealth would not surprise them, they were at least certain that the other party would not be bankrupted by his ancestors so easily.

A series of luxurious but old tall palaces are located around it, majestically guarding the palace hall in the middle, as if it is a ghost of history that is gradually being buried. Its body has gradually decayed, but it still refuses to die and is still chattering endlessly.

That demonstrates the supreme kingship.

The splendid buildings are somehow mixed with some short walls made of mottled bricks and stones. The marks left by swords, guns, swords and halberds on them seem to tell another unknown story.

Perhaps it was a certain epic that made people's blood boil, and it was deliberately preserved in this medium as a symbol of honor.

Or maybe it is a scar that is difficult to heal, written into the ancestral precepts and not to be dismantled, as a painful lesson for introspection every day.

But in the end, as time passes away generations of people and things, they have become stories and no longer cared about.

The honor has been forgotten, and the lessons have been forgotten once again, setting the stage for a certain moment in the future. Perhaps mistakes should be repeated over and over again.

However, in this world of spiritual practice, there will always be a few ancestors crawling out of history from time to time, slamming these heavy years into your face, allowing you to regain those honors or lessons, just like now.

"this……"

Weak spiritual power was injected into the token in front of him, and the old king's cloudy eyes were full of calm. He held the token, felt it carefully, and replied affirmatively: "This is indeed something left by our ancestors!"

"We said we wouldn't lie to you."

Hei Yang smiled and responded politely.

He imperceptibly looked at the old man in front of him who was dressed in luxurious clothes and seemed to be very wealthy, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

It was also the first time for Hei Yang to see the king of this country, at least in name - he didn't even meet him when he cheated his family's fifth child.

But now that he actually saw the real person, Hei Yang was a little disappointed.

The other party did not have the kind of temperament that Hei Yang had imagined, and he might have been so high-spirited when he was young, but at present, he was just an ordinary old man with a lot of drama.

Of course, Hei Yang's evaluation may also be biased. After all, ordinary old people cannot remain so calm after hearing the truths Hei Yang Hongli told before, let alone the calmness to check the tokens now.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But the opponent's city is actually just a useless effort in front of Heiyang Hongli.
To be continued...
