"Stop." Shen Zhui waved his hand and ordered the soldiers behind him to stop.

Because of the distance, the student did not notice Shen Zhui's presence.

He ordered these soldiers to avoid the student and return to Gongcheng Mansion elsewhere to wait for orders. Shen Zhui quietly concealed his aura, then transformed into an ordinary acquired warrior and slowly approached the student.

This young man's face was a bit green, but his eyes were very bright. His cultivation was at the third level of supernatural power, but the aura fluctuations on his body were stronger than those Shen Zhui had seen before.

Shen Zhui pretended to walk around unintentionally and stopped ten meters in front of the student. He looked around at a vendor, but his attention was focused on this person.

"Hahaha, I'm finally in, sir! Who else is there?" Zhou Qi smiled excitedly, his expression very excited. There was great pride in his laughter.

Hearing this, Shen Zhui couldn't help but smile.

After waiting quietly for a while, Zhou Qi finally calmed down, just like Shen Zhui. After entering this place, his first step was to find someone to inquire.

However, he is slightly different from Shen Zhui. First of all, after Zhou Qi came in this time, the residents in the city have all reached the innate realm!

Secondly, the feedback they received was different.

"Store, may I ask where this place is?" Zhou Qi casually walked into a shop, looked up and down, and then started to ask.

"Oh, this is Shangqiu City. I heard that the official mansion in Xicheng is recruiting talents. You can go and have a look." The innate mid-level shopkeeper replied lazily.

"Xicheng? Official's Mansion?" Zhou Qi nodded, then asked. "Where is the specific location and who lives in the Official's Mansion?"

"Oh, this is Shangqiu City. I heard that the official mansion in Xicheng is recruiting talents. You can go and have a look."

Zhou Qi: "..."

Zhou Qi didn't seem to give up and asked again, but the result was exactly the same.

Zhou Qi seemed to have noticed something, and immediately frowned and walked out of the store.

He quickly walked into the second store, and within a moment, Zhou Qi came out again.

After repeating this several times, Zhou Qi seemed to understand that no matter how he asked, the answer he got would be the same and there would be no change.

When Shen Zhui saw this, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

He didn't know who Zhou Qi came in this week and what level of difficulty he solved, but obviously, the other party got less information than he did.

Moreover, when Shen Zhui first came in, he went to the Gongcheng Mansion. This time, Zhou Qi went to the seventh-level official mansion.

The gap between the two is reflected, because according to Shen Zhui's understanding.

Only with higher-level Shangguan, the tasks you will receive in the future will be of higher level and the rewards will be more generous.

Now that Zhou Qi is going to the scholar-bureaucrat's house this week, Shen Zhui estimates that he is a level 3 hairpin, and his mission level will be lower.

After thinking about this, Shen Zhui planned to leave and return to his public residence. He didn't want to reveal his identity as an adventurer so early.

However, just when Shen Zhui was about to leave, an accident happened——

"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard, and Zhou Qi's body suddenly flew backwards, a beam of light erupted from his body, and he hit the street heavily.

The people around them fled in all directions, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye, closing doors and closing stalls. After a while, there were only one civilian left in the street, Shen Zhui, and Zhou Qi who fell on the ground. .

"What's going on?" Shen Zhui was confused.

At this moment, Zhou Qi had a trace of yellow rope on his body, tightly constricting his body.

He wanted to struggle, but the more he struggled, the tighter the rope became. After a while, Zhou Qi's face turned red, showing a look of pain.

Looking at a frightened civilian not far away, Shen Zhui, who was hiding in a shop, suddenly had a thought in his mind -

"This idiot, he won't do anything to these civilians, right?"

Shen Zhui's guess was correct.

Because after a while, he waited for the patrol team from Shangqiu City.

This pair of patrols were wrapped in silver armor, with light flowing, and there was a phoenix spreading its wings on their helmets.

A total of twenty silver-armored warriors appeared next to Zhou Qi, with twenty spears pointed at Zhou Qi on the ground, with murderous intent! Each of them possessed the fluctuations of a powerful person!

"Forbidden troops in the royal city?" Shen Zhui's heart trembled.

The world here is an imitation of the Great Xia Dynasty, and Great Xia regards the phoenix as its veneration. These silver-armored warriors are obviously the forbidden army of the royal city!

In his spare time, Shen Zhui also explored various parts of Shangqiu City. Shen Zhui found that many mansions were simply inaccessible.

The inner city in the center of Shangqiu City covers an area of ​​nearly 800 miles. It is a forbidden area that even Shen Zhui, an eighth-level public transporter, cannot enter!

Those guarding and patrolling outside the palace walls are none other than these Royal Guards wearing silver armor and phoenix helmets on their heads!

Shen Zhui was completely unaware of the strength of a silver-armored guard captain. At this moment, the guard captain walked up to Zhou Qi and said coldly: "Outsider, you use illusions to enchant others without authorization, which violates the laws of Shangqiu City." If you violate the law, you will be imprisoned for seven days! You will not be released from the Three-Star Prison after seven days. If you violate the law three times, you will be permanently expelled from Shangqiu City!"

"Woo~oooo~" Zhou Qi's eyes widened and he struggled more and more fiercely. Unfortunately, the rope on his body seemed to be extremely magical, leaving Zhou Qi speechless at all. He could only watch helplessly being beaten by two silver-armored guards. Set it up and drag it in a certain direction.

He really regrets it now. He was impulsively imprisoned for seven days. He wasted seven days in vain and didn't know what other consequences it would have.

If he could do it over again, even if he killed Zhou Qi, he wouldn't be so curious as to do such a thing!

Swish, swish, swish~ The Royal Guards of the Royal City came and left just as quickly.

After a while, the surrounding streets became as lively as ever again, with people selling goods and doing things, as if nothing just happened had happened.

"This man is really unlucky." Shen Zhui shook his head.

If it were outside, even in the city, for a wealthy young man like him, who was in the supernatural realm, even if he made a mistake, he would not be imprisoned, not to mention that his original intention was just to control the illusion and get some information. .

However, when we got here, Shen Zhui didn't know what to ask, but he wasted seven days.

"Fortunately, I didn't use force at the beginning, otherwise the outcome might not have been much better." Shen Zhui was somewhat thankful in his heart.

When he first came in, he thought about using force, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea.

If it were that simple, it would be too much to underestimate the powerful men and women of Daxia Academy.

The power of rules is everywhere. A small person with magical powers wants to take shortcuts and take advantage of this loophole. Where can he put the face of the powerful ones?

"This is a lesson learned in blood." Shen Zhui couldn't help but sigh. He once tried to use the Wuxiang Divine Art to pretend to be a silver-armored guard and approached the royal city. As a result, he was severely warned by the captain of the guard before he even got close.

Fortunately, Shen Zhui was already traveling by public transport at that time, so he was not punished too severely. He was only fined fifty silver knives.

However, this also caused Shen Zhui a lot of pain. For fifty silver knives, he had to fight hard outside the city for several hours!

Since then, Shen Zhui gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the loophole.

Unexpectedly, I saw "people of the same mind" here again today, but the situation was different, the things they did were different, and the results they obtained were also different.

Shen Zhui only fined him a fine, but this time Zhou Qi was imprisoned directly.

"We have to hurry up." Shen Zhui shook his head, ignored Zhou Qi, and quickly rushed to his public residence.

…………

The world map in the second level is very large. Shen Zhui has traveled as far as a thousand miles outside the city, but still has not discovered where the border is.

Shangqiu City is also very large, but it is not the only royal city.

As early as when he was promoted to scholar-official, Shen Zhui got an important piece of information from Zihe. That was that the royal city was not one.

In addition to Shangqiu City, there are four royal cities: Yangzhai, Zoulu and Luncheng.

There are also twelve secondary prefectural cities, three of which guard the four royal cities in a triangular position.

But even though it said so on the map, Shen Zhui had never seen these cities before.

He guessed that the outer nine endgames were divided into difficult and easy ones, and the entry points were divided into first come, first served. Perhaps these differences were not only reflected in the official positions after entering the city, but also in the city level.

"I don't know who Zhou Qi is the first to come in. Is it possible that someone from other cities has already come in, but I don't know?" Shen Zhui thought to himself.

Nine exquisite chess game endgame pictures, nine origins, the speed of solving the game is related to the perception of the origins.

Shen Zhui boasts that he has systematic help, and no one should be able to solve the problem faster than him. However, there are hundreds of thousands of adventurers from all over the world, including many capable and strangers. Thirty days have passed, so there may not be anyone who can solve the problem faster than him. Having overcome the situation, we entered inside.

"Can't relax." Shen Zhui immediately quickened his pace.

…………

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since Shen Zhui delivered the mission.

Shen Zhui is now a fifth-level official who has reached the ninth level!

And Shen Zhui also discovered fourteen other adventurers through the soldiers assigned throughout the city during these seven days!

In the mansion of the fifth doctor.

"Zixing, what happened to the people you paid attention to?" Shen Zhui looked at the dark-faced strong man on his left.

This person is none other than Shen Zhui's previous Shangguan Ziji, but now the master and slave have changed positions, and now Shen Zhui has become Ziji's Shangguan.

"Master Qi," Zihe said respectfully. "Among these fifteen people, the highest one is a fifth-level scholar-bureaucrat, twelve are fourth-level Bu Geng, and one is being tortured in Sanxing Prison. As for those who have been released, That Zhou Qi is now serving as a leader under my subordinates."

"Oh? Shangzao?" Shen Zhui couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Zhou Qi originally started out as a third-level hairpin, but now he can only become a second-level Shangzao.

And the people who came in later than him, the highest have already reached the fifth level of scholar-bureaucrats!

"Hmph, but this kid still needs training and training. It is absolutely impossible to promote him so quickly." Zihe snorted coldly.

"Huh? What's going on?" Shen Zhui asked curiously after seeing Zi Xie's attitude.

"As soon as this man comes to Gongcheng Mansion, he will challenge me and say that if he defeats me, he will be made a scholar-bureaucrat." Zihe said.
