Chapter 318: Migration Conclusion, Great Xia Spectacle, Star-Picking Hall

Second Year of Great Xia, September 30th, first half of the night.

Bang...

A slight sound suddenly came from the north wall of Xia City.

"So powerful, this city wall clearly looks like it's just black soil material, yet it can withstand the impact force of one bristle. Plus such a large scale, even if I attack with all my strength, I'm afraid I can only make a few small holes. If there isn't enough time, wanting to achieve large-scale destruction is simply impossible."

Below the city wall, Li Ying Xuan Ling looked at the slight indentation he had made on the wall with one punch, and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.

Although he only used one bristle of strength, it was equivalent to the full-strength blow of most medium-level cold beasts. This city wall was five meters thick; even if it were an iron wall of the same thickness, it would deform somewhat after a collision from a medium-level cold beast. But this city wall actually only showed such a small slight indentation.

"It shouldn't be ordinary black soil. These three city walls, even if they encounter a large-scale beast tide impact, as long as there aren't too many high-level cold beasts inside, I'm afraid they can all hold up. It's thanks to your wisdom in July; if you had led the Longyou Army to attack Xia City at that time, I'm afraid you would have been defeated even more miserably!"

Li Tiancheng subconsciously said his real thoughts. Seeing Li Ying Xuan Ling's expression dim significantly, he realized he had mentioned something he shouldn't have, and immediately pointed to the west city wall direction, changing the subject: "The migration team should all have entered the city. Let's hurry over too. It's just right to see what kind of scene it is in this Xia City."

As early as before the war in July, Li Tiancheng had already come to Red Wood Ridge to survey the situation of Xia City. However, he didn't enter the city at that time. For the previous two months in Longshan, he had heard the cold-resistant level people of Great Xia recount countless things about Xia City, and his ears were almost calloused. Now that he could finally get a glimpse of its true appearance, he was naturally very curious in his heart.

Li Ying Xuan Ling nodded and walked toward the west city gate with Li Tiancheng.

Since the completion of the five straight roads on the tenth of September, the 260,000 people of Longyou had been continuously migrating toward Xia City.

The number of people migrating this time was too large, and the vast majority of them were ordinary people, not trained like a large army. Moreover, to reduce safety risks, Xia Chuan carried out migration in batches, so the efficiency was naturally surprisingly slow.

The more than ten thousand people migrating tonight were the last migration team of the entire Longyou, and they happened to be the people from Longshan.

Li Ying Xuan Ling and his uncle were somewhat reluctant to leave their homeland and were unwilling to leave so early, so they insisted on waiting until tonight to come over with the last batch.

After walking west for a while, Li Ying Xuan Ling saw from afar that there were still ten long queues at the city gate. After a rough estimate, he found that at least six or seven thousand people had not yet entered the city, and his brows suddenly tightened.

"Only a small half have entered, why is entering the city so slow?"

Li Tiancheng also shook his head in confusion. Seeing Li Ying Xuan Ling walking up angrily, he was worried that he would cause trouble, so he hurriedly followed behind him.

"Next!"

"Small person Zhou An, Longshan person, 23 years old this year, Woodcutting Realm, married. These three are my wife Wang Yuniang, 21 years old this year, also Woodcutting Realm cultivation, son Zhou Shun, 7 years old this year, daughter Zhou Rou, 4 years old this year."

"Matched. Your family's residence is in Building 48 of the outer city, temporary wooden building, Room 98 on the third floor. After entering the city, walk 500 meters along the main road and turn right. You can find it by following the wooden building number plate."

"Many thanks, my lord, many thanks, my lord!"

"Next!"

"Small person Zhang Fan, Yucheng person, 19 years old this year, Earth-Digging Realm, unmarried, and has not entered the household register, just one person."

"Matched. Your residence is the same as the one before, also in Building 48 of the outer city, temporary wooden building, Room 67 on the second floor. You can find it by following behind that family of four."

"Many thanks, my lord, for pointing the way!"

"Next!"

"Small person Zheng Qing, Longshan person, 31 years old this year, Earth-Digging Realm, married. This is my wife Liu Ying, 28 years old this year, Woodcutting Realm. This is my son Zheng Hong, 8 years old this year."

"Matched. Your family's residence is in Building 49 of the outer city, temporary wooden building, Room 12 on the first floor. You can find it by following behind those people in front."

"Many thanks, my lord, many thanks, my lord!"

When they were still over a hundred meters away from the city gate, Li Ying Xuan Ling clearly heard the voices coming from the city gate, and only then did he understand why the speed of entering the city was so slow.

It turned out that these guards were screening and checking the information of the people entering the city one by one. It was just that this interrogation was a bit too detailed, from name, native place, household register, age, to family members, almost every aspect had been checked.

"Wasn't there already a population household registration done in Longshan? Entering the city requires another interrogation. Is this Great Xia a bit too strict?"

Li Tiancheng didn't answer, but continued to listen for a while, then sighed slightly and whispered: "Listen carefully, this is allocating residences according to their household register and native place. Those with the same household register are basically all disrupted and live together with people from other places."

Li Ying Xuan Ling was also very smart. After calming down and listening for a while, he found that it was indeed as his second uncle said, and he immediately reacted.

"This is afraid that people from the same place will gather together, so they deliberately disrupt people according to their native place. This Xia Hong is too narrow-minded, humph!"

This naturally had nothing to do with being narrow-minded. Such a measure could not only significantly reduce management costs but also enhance the camp's control over the newly integrated population. At the same time, it could also accelerate the process of these people integrating into Great Xia, and even had great significance for the safety of the camp...

This was clearly an important measure that killed many birds with one stone and had great effect.

Li Tiancheng knew his niece's intelligence very well.

Li Ying Xuan Ling saying this was clearly deliberately trying to get angry with Xia Hong.

Li Tiancheng pondered for a moment, but still spoke softly to persuade:

"Ying Xuan Ling, Leader Xia is not bad to you either, 10 every month..."

"May I ask, is the person coming Senior Li Tiancheng?"

It was just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the voice coming from the city gate.

The two looked up and found that there were two golden-armored soldiers at the city gate, leading more than ten young women with good looks, who were running toward them.

Taking advantage of these people running over, the two hurriedly examined their attire carefully.

At the city gate, whether it was the soldiers on duty or the soldiers interrogating the people entering the city, they were all wearing black hundred-forged iron armor, and their basic strength was mostly under twenty thousand jin.

The two before them, however, were wearing golden armor like the Cloud Dragon Army soldiers, and their basic strength was all above twenty thousand jin.

Moreover, the more than ten young women with good looks behind the two, although their cultivation had only just broken through the Earth-Digging Realm, their attire was not simple.

Inside, they were all wearing cotton clothes like themselves, and outside, they were wearing a blue velvet-lined jacket. Looking at the density of that velvet, it was clearly the top-layer velvet of a frost wolf.

Frost wolf top-layer velvet was not considered a rare thing in Longshan, but because of its strong warmth retention and low output, this top-layer velvet was generally used to make hats, and not everyone could wear it.

Using it to make clothes, and more than ten women who had just broken through the Earth-Digging Realm could wear it, that was different.

And it wasn't just these; the silver rat fur hanging on their necks, the water-blue silk sewn on the cuffs, the bone jade accessories hanging on their hair buns, the snow-white velvet skirts worn on their lower bodies...

On these women, just the clothing and accessories alone originated from more than ten different types of cold beasts, not to mention the exquisite workmanship.

Could it be that in Great Xia, one could wear these clothes in the Earth-Digging Realm?

Even with Li Tiancheng's extensive knowledge, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Not to mention Li Ying Xuan Ling. He also had many accessories and clothes, but compared with these women in Great Xia, it could only be described as simple.

Although he had cold-resistant level cultivation, Li Ying Xuan Ling was a woman after all, and loving beauty was a nature. Seeing such beautiful clothing and accessories, he naturally couldn't hide the curiosity in his heart and kept looking at those women.

Acting on the principle of being a newcomer, Li Tiancheng didn't dare to be arrogant. He nodded and bowed to the two golden-armored soldiers: "This old man is exactly him. May I ask who you all are?"

"Great Xia City Gate Order, Zhu Kang!"

"Great Xia City Gate Order, Hong Yu!"

City Gate Order, clearly a government position specifically for guarding the city gate.

Li Tiancheng nodded and was about to speak, but among the more than ten women behind, one of the leaders took the lead and rushed to Li Ying Xuan Ling's front first.

"Then this must be the Madam. This small girl's name is Han Yue, the chief attendant of the Star-Picking Hall. By the order of the Lord, I am specifically here to welcome the Madam."

A "Madam" made Li Ying Xuan Ling's face instantly blush, and he subconsciously wanted to refute, but before he could open his mouth, the more than ten attendants behind him bowed and saluted him at the same time.

"Greetings, Madam."

Hong Yu and Zhu Kang looked at each other and also bowed.

"Greetings, Madam!"

Li Ying Xuan Ling was instantly stunned in place, not knowing what to say.

"No wonder the Lord said that we should just wait at the city gate. Once the Madam arrives, we will definitely recognize her. In Great Xia with hundreds of thousands of people, I have never seen anyone more beautiful than the Madam!"

"That's right, the Madam wears a white dress and doesn't wear any accessories, yet can be this beautiful. If she wears Xia clothes, I'm afraid it will be incredible."

"Only the Madam's beauty can match the Lord."

Li Ying Xuan Ling's skin was originally thin. Being praised so fiercely by a group of attendants to his face, his small face instantly turned red, losing the composure of a Longshan leader in the past.

"Alright, don't block here, let the Madam enter the city first!"

Han Yue opened his mouth to interrupt the group of attendants, led Li Ying Xuan Ling and Li Tiancheng to walk toward the city gate position.

The soldiers on duty at the city gate clearly all knew this group of attendants. Seeing Li Ying Xuan Ling coming with stars holding the moon, they immediately realized something and instantly put down everything in their hands, clearly intending to stand up and salute.

Seeing everyone's actions, Li Ying Xuan Ling frowned slightly and said softly: "It's just entering the city, no need to make such a big fuss..."

He paused slightly when he said this, clearly worried that his words would not work, and continued to Hong Yu and the two: "I think that it is freezing outside, it is better to let this last batch of people enter the city quickly, so as not to cause accidents."

"Respectfully follow the Madam's order!"

What surprised him was that Hong Yu and Zhu Kang had no hesitation. After understanding his meaning, they bowed and obeyed, and immediately ran to the city gate faster.

"Don't stop, do your work! Continue to let people enter the city."

"Everyone continue to do things, don't look around."

Seeing Hong Yu and Zhu Kang obey his orders so readily, a strange look suddenly rose in Li Ying Xuan Ling's eyes.

It was the attendant Han Yue who led the way beside him who clearly guessed what he was thinking and whispered to him: "Madam doesn't need to be so cautious. When the Lord came back five days ago, he once said that in Xia City, you are equivalent to him, so all of us will follow your orders."

Li Ying Xuan Ling was somewhat happy when he heard this.

But after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Xia Hong's words meant that his power as a Madam was locked in Xia City. Once he left the city and went to other territories of Great Xia, it would not work.

Of course, Li Ying Xuan Ling also knew in his heart that Xia Hong being able to do this step was already very good. So even if he curled his lips, he didn't say much more, but continued to follow Han Yue and the others into the city.

"Senior Li, your residence is also in the outer city, I will take you there personally."

Before the crowd had stepped into the city, Hong Yu chased up from behind.

Li Tiancheng was stunned, clearly not expecting that the temporary residence arranged for him by Great Xia would actually be in the outer city. ===== CHAPTER 319 =====
