Chapter 173: Common enemy

The youth stepped into Yuanjin City, the most chaotic central city in Yuanjin Land.
Zhou Ming came all the way, and walked no less than ten cities. The city was like this, there was no order, no law, and the most common thing between people was life, death and seizure. Here, the powerful can sit on the supreme power and enjoy the supreme glory; the weak can only become the plaything of the upper hand, or the most inferior, human slave.
After Zhou Ming killed Fang Gan and Fangkun, he ran directly to the source of darkness everywhere. This was already the second day he came to the Xuhai Empire. This heavy rain continued for two days. The moment I stepped into Yuanjin City, the gloomy sky was covered with a black curtain, and the night came quietly.
When some passing merchants and nobles saw Zhou Ming coming from outside the city, all of them bowed to their knees and smiled and came to him to ask him warmly. They are not blind, Yuanjin City is now the capital of the Xuhai Empire, and the strongest Emperor Xuhai in the entire Yuanjin Land lives in the city. This person dared to enter in grandiosely, either confident or conceited.
Here, conceited people often find it difficult to see the sun tomorrow. These merchants and nobles are well versed in the way of survival in the source, so they prefer the former. Zhou Ming dared to break into the city in this way. , Indicating that he has enough strength to deal with everyone in this city, including the reigning Emperor Xuhai.
Now that they have made good contact with Zhou Ming, they are also taking precautions in advance.
Zhou Ming swept a few miles around this area with his spiritual sense, and found that these luxuriously dressed merchants and nobles were at least the cultivation base of the late stage of the source of refining. Some monks who had just started can only help them with umbrellas and act as servants.
Some people handed out umbrellas to Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming ignored them. Instead, they walked in the rain on their own, stepping on their feet in the messy mud, passing by one after another with expressionless expression on both sides of the road, naked and dying. , Scarred bodies, these people are the most inferior slaves in the Xuanhai Empire. They have no human rights and can only be driven by the nobles of the upper class. Everyday life is like an animal in the alley, without any freedom. At all.
Seeing Zhou Ming's attitude, those merchants and nobles who wanted to please him were a little bit self-deprecating and boring. They didn’t dare to stick it up cheeky. If Zhou Ming got upset and raised his hand to punch them, they would die inexplicably. I’m afraid that there won’t be even a dead body. The most important thing in this city is People on the street died tragically.
"This friend, please stay."
These people dare not step forward and block the way, but that doesn’t mean that no one dares. Zhou Ming just walked out, a middle-aged man in a velvet robe holding a paulownia oil-paper umbrella came over alone and stood in front of Zhou Ming. Looking at him with a smile.
This middle-aged man wears a golden crown on his head, and his whole person is full of grace and nobleness. It is in sharp contrast with the fierceness around him. Compared with other people, he seems to be a nobleman who is no longer normal. And those people around him , It looks like a fierce bandit, full of hostility.
With the appearance of this middle-aged man, panic appeared in the eyes of those businessmen and nobles, turning their heads one by one, for fear that they would be slow.
Zhou Ming glanced at his eyes and saw that the middle-aged man and his cultivation were the same, both in the early stage of the Divine Martial Realm. He knew that there was no good in this Void Sea Empire, even if this person looked kind, it could be seen from the performance of the middle-aged man that the people around him must be cruel and cruel.
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Ming didn't give this person a cold eye, just asked lightly.
"I would like to invite my friend to the house to give a comment. I wonder if my friend can show his face?"
The middle-aged man smiled at the corner of his mouth, with a gentle appearance.
Zhou Ming grinned, subconsciously glanced at the two twisted bronze doors not far away, and said: "If you are not afraid of getting into trouble, you will lead the way."
The middle-aged man did not change his face. He took the initiative to open an umbrella to Zhou Ming and looked at the red wooden carriage not far away. "Friends, please follow me. The Fuzhong is still far away from this, and may need to take a ride."
Zhou Ming said nothing, but followed the middle-aged man into the carriage.
The middle-aged man waved his hand to the outside, and an elderly coachman squatting under the eaves in the distance to avoid the rain rushed over, jumped into the carriage, and drove the horses.
The carriage drove away, and several nobles with umbrellas were walking and talking about what had just happened.
"You said, Lord Lan is taking this person away to..."
"Don't say it, it's really possible, everyone wants to be the master of the land."
"Not so flat."
"When will there be a saying about peace here, hey, the restaurant is here, go and drink two catties!"
As they said, one of them kicked a slave who was lying on the ground, and the group swaggered into the restaurant.
An oil lamp was lit in the carriage, and the dim light illuminates the faces of the two.
Zhou Ming leaned on the soft blanket of the carriage, leaving a circle of moist water marks. His consciousness swept outwards, and the elderly coachman who leaned out actually possessed the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Huaqi realm. It seems that this middle-aged man The background is not small.
The middle-aged man didn't care about the rain dripping from Zhou Ming at all. He sat across from him, clasped his fists and said, "In Xia Lanshi, I don't know how a friend is called?"
Zhou Ming did not return the gift, but closed his eyes slightly, listening to the sound of rain outside, and said indifferently: "Zhou Ming."
"Then I recklessly call my friend Brother Zhou."
Lan Shi looked at Zhou Ming, his eyes seemed to be gleaming.
Zhou Ming opened his eyes, raised a corner of the curtain inside the carriage, stared at the pitch black outside the window, and slowly said: "Don't be so polite with me. What's the matter is, in this land of origin, there is no need to cover up with me. ."
"Brother Zhou is really straightforward, he will be here soon, and I will talk to Brother Zhou in detail."
Lan Shi glanced at the curtain in front of the car and said with a smile.
"whatever."
Zhou Ming didn't know what he was thinking about, so he put down the curtain and sat in the carriage very casually with his eyes closed.
I don’t know how long it took. The bumpy carriage finally came to a halt. The coachman raised the curtain and helped Lan Shi hold the umbrella on the side. Ke Lan Shi shook his head, told him to retreat, personally hold the umbrella, and walk down. Zhou Ming keeps out the rain.
In front of them was a magnificent mansion, with vermilion wood lacquer printed on the gate, and a plaque hanging on it was written with two gilded characters: "Royal Mansion"
"Brother Zhou, change your clothes first."
As soon as Zhou Ming followed Lan Shi into the mansion, a group of Yingying and Yanyan ran over immediately. As Lan Shi walked into the room, they took a set of clean clothes and carefully undressed Lan Shi and used a little towel. Wipe the rain off him.
Zhou Ming was no exception and received the same treatment as Lan Shi.
After his body was dry and clean, Zhou Ming put on a white coat and walked out of the room. He wore long hair like ink behind him, his face was cold, and his deep eyes were somewhat domineering. I have to say, Zhou Ming. Fan's dressing feels like being in the wind, and the maids look a little silly.
"Brother Zhou is really personable in this outfit."
Above the hall, Lan Shi stood up to greet him and praised him.
After Zhou Ming sat down, Lan Shi served him a cup of tea, drove away the maids, and smiled: "Brother Zhou, I am the prince here."
Zhou Ming lifted the purple sand lid on the cup and nodded, "I can see it, you want to be on top."
Lan Shi was stunned. He didn't know what Zhou Ming meant by "superior", but he continued: "Brother Zhou also knows that the Xuhai Empire is a piece of loose sand. There is no order and restrictions here. As long as the strength is enough, you can stay at the source. Take a seat as much as possible."
"Let's talk, do you want to cooperate with me, or you want to use me to help you become the master of this Void Sea Empire."
Zhou Ming drank the cup of tea, staring at Lan Shi, and said indifferently.
Lan Shi saw Zhou Ming's clean porcelain cup with a look of appreciation, and asked, "Isn't Brother Zhou afraid of me poisoning this tea?"
"If you want me to help you, you must show sincerity."
Zhou Ming gently pushed the tea cup away on the table, narrowing his eyes, "Besides, you are not qualified for poisoning me."
Lan Shi suddenly laughed, and then said to Zhou Ming: "Brother Zhou really sees it thoroughly, so I'll just say it straight. What I want is to reorganize the Void Sea Empire so that the land at the end of the source can become the north of the border. An empire like Hongge."
"you are serious?"
Seeing that Lan Shi didn't seem to be lying, Zhou Ming asked casually.
"Of course, it's just that I'm just like Brother Zhou just said, not qualified."
Lan Shi also took the tea on the table and drank it, seemingly self-deprecating.
Zhou Ming also didn't know how true and false what Lan Shi said. If it was like what Lan Shi said, he wanted to reorganize the Xuhai Empire and build a new order, then he would admire this man from the bottom of his heart. This is not a goal that can be achieved with a small verbal promise. The formation of a country requires long-term planning and layout. Without sufficient contacts, luck, and resources, it is a fantasy to unify such a chaotic country.
"If this is your purpose, then you and I have a common enemy."
Zhou Ming showed an inexplicable smile to the stranger who had only met recently.
Lan Shi made another cup of tea for Zhou Ming, "Is the enemy that Brother Zhou said...is Emperor Xuhai?"
"Do not."
Zhou Ming shook his cup of tea, the darkness of night reflected in his pupils, and Shen Ning said, "It's the Shadow Gate."
"Patter!"
Lan Shi's arm trembled and knocked over the cup on the table.
Tea mixed with broken porcelain pieces scattered all over the floor, Lan Shi looked at Zhou Ming incredulously, and muttered: "Zhou... Brother Zhou, you said our enemy is the Shadow Gate?"
Zhou Ming didn't expect Lan Shi to have such a big reaction. He nodded and said, "You heard me right. I was talking about the Shadow Gate."
Lan Shi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhou, I don't know where you are. I can say that you have the courage to break into Yuanjin City, but do you know that the ten dark leaders of the Shadow Gate are all built Ji Chenggong’s spiritual power. Being an enemy of them is something I didn’t even dare to realize in my sleep.

Zhou Ming laughed, noncommittal.
