Chapter 358: Using kindness to demand repayment
Hua Changxi entered the Xuanyuan Prefecture for the first time by being teleported directly to a square through a spatial crack, and entered for the second time through the Xuanyuan Prefecture barrier.
Two entries, less than three years apart, but the scenes seen were completely different.
Looking at the magnificent gate with five entrances in front of her, Hua Changxi's expression was a bit trance-like. If it weren't for the "Xuanyuan Prefecture" plaque hanging high on the gate tower, she would have thought that what was in front of her was some city gate.
It is no exaggeration to say that the main gate of the Xuanyuan Prefecture in front of her was even more towering and majestic than the four major city gates of the capital.
Above the five entrances, the five characters Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were carved respectively.
The Earth character was in the center, and from left to right, they were Gold, Water, Earth, Fire, and Wood.
The five gates were originally closed, but after Hua Changxi entered the barrier, the Fire Gate passage slowly opened.
Uh...
This main gate of the Xuanyuan Prefecture is amazing, it comes with its own gate access scanning and detection!
It's just that I don't know how deep the detection of this gate access is?
Can it only detect spiritual root attributes, or can it continue to detect deeper, and also detect things like bloodline totems?
Looking at the open Fire Gate, Hua Changxi was a bit guarded. After hesitating for a while, she still stepped into the Fire Gate.
Behind the five gates, it connected to the Qilin Canal.
Crossing the jade bridge over the Qilin Canal, she arrived at a square with a depth of several thousand meters, which was the square where Hua Changxi was teleported to when she first entered the Xuanyuan Prefecture.
At the end of the square was a towering palace complex with three gates.
The palaces were all located on high platforms of tens to hundreds of meters. The main hall hung with a golden plaque of "Chengqian Hall," and bell and drum towers stood on the left and right sides. On the towers, there were also Xuanyuan Army soldiers wearing golden armor.
Hua Changxi walked on the white jade-like square and was truly surprised by the efficient construction speed of the Xuanyuan Army.
She still remembered that from the main gate of the Xuanyuan Prefecture to the Xuanyuan Hall, she needed to pass through five squares. The one she passed through now was the first square, and she didn't know if the squares behind had been built.
Hua Changxi was very curious about this and couldn't help but release her divine sense.
"Little Friend Hua, this is not the way of a guest!"
As soon as the divine sense was released, an unhappy voice sounded over the square.
Hua Changxi withdrew her divine sense in embarrassment.
Although the divine sense was released and withdrawn immediately, she still "scanned" the entire Xuanyuan Prefecture.
The Xuanyuan Prefecture had a total of nine squares, and palace complexes were built at the end of each square. Chengqian Hall was the first palace complex, and the Xuanyuan Hall in the center of the prefecture was the fifth palace complex.
The first five squares and palace complexes of the Xuanyuan Prefecture had been completed, and the last four squares and palace complexes were still under construction.
And the people building them were all Xuanyuan Army soldiers.
Scanning that the Xuanyuan Five Generals were all gathered in Chengqian Hall, Hua Changxi quickened her pace.
In Chengqian Hall, the Xuanyuan Five Generals all looked a bit unhappy.
Qin Feng, the garrison commander of the Xuanyuan Army's vanguard, sighed: "Hua Changxi is indeed as the rumors say, not very compliant with the rules."
The Xuanyuan Five-Direction Army guards one side each in the east, south, west, north, and center, and guards one gate each in gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The Xuanyuan Army vanguard guards the southern Fire Gate.
Hua Changxi happened to be a fire spiritual root, and happened to walk through the Fire Gate.
Compared to the Dongfang brothers who came before, Hua Changxi was really a bit troublesome.
Huo Jinglei, the garrison commander of the right army, added: "Her courage is also big."
Not to mention entering the Xuanyuan Prefecture, even if going to other places, one should not casually release divine sense to explore. If one is not careful, one will suffer heavy damage from the owner.
Perhaps, Hua Changxi was relying on the fact that the master of the Xuanyuan Prefecture had not yet appeared, so she dared to use divine sense to explore the Xuanyuan Prefecture.
Lu Zhenting, the garrison commander of the central army, laughed: "If she were law-abiding and didn't dare to take risks, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to move into the Xuanyuan Prefecture so early."
Hearing this, the five generals all laughed.
Qin Feng: "Hua Changxi hasn't been seen for three years. As soon as she appears, she runs to the Xuanyuan Prefecture. What does she want to do?"
Lu Zhenting smiled: "Let's listen to what she has to say first."
In the idle talk of the five generals, Hua Changxi arrived.
Chengqian Hall was very large, and the five generals didn't sit in the main seats, but sat on the left and right sides.
Looking at Hua Changxi walking into Chengqian Hall, the Xuanyuan Five Generals narrowed their eyes at the same time.
Three years later, Hua Changxi's strength had become stronger again, and the extent of her strengthening was not small. Now, they couldn't figure out her depth.
Hua Changxi smiled and stepped forward to salute: "Hua Changxi has seen the five generals."
The five generals looked at each other and stood up to return the salute.
Hua Changxi didn't expect the five generals to be so polite and was a bit surprised.
Lu Zhenting smiled and stretched out his hand, making a gesture of invitation to sit: "Little Friend Hua, please sit."
Hua Changxi sat down as requested.
After everyone sat down, Qin Feng opened his mouth: "I don't know what Little Friend Hua came to the Xuanyuan Prefecture for?"
Hua Changxi said the words she said to Dongfang Xu again: "The Duke of Liang's Prefecture is bullying others with power, so I ask the five generals to make the decision for me and my family."
The five generals: "..." She is actually here to use kindness to demand repayment!
Lu Zhenting looked at Hua Changxi, thoughtful.
With her current strength, she could suppress the Duke of Liang's Prefecture alone, and there was no need to find the Xuanyuan Army at all.
Lu Zhenting tentatively asked with a smile: "I don't know how Little Friend Hua wants us to make the decision for you?"
Hua Changxi immediately took out a piece of paper, which was a list of the Hua family members, totaling twenty-two people.
"I know the Xuanyuan Army has many affairs and I dare not trouble the five generals too much. I only implore the five generals to look at the fact that I helped find the Xuanyuan Prefecture and take all my family members into the Xuanyuan Prefecture."
The Xuanyuan Five Generals, except for Lu Zhenting, the other four all rolled their eyes.
Every Xuanyuan Army soldier is carefully selected. Even if the Chu Imperial Family wanted to stuff people into the Xuanyuan Army, they were all rejected.
Hua Changxi actually wanted to stuff more than twenty people with uneven qualifications in. Did she really think the Xuanyuan Army was a place to collect junk?
The Xuanyuan Five Generals communicated through sound transmission for a while, and finally, Lu Zhenting opened his mouth: "Little Friend Hua, to express our gratitude, we can give you three spots in the Xuanyuan Army."
Seeing Hua Changxi wanting to say something, Lu Zhenting didn't give her a chance to speak: "Please understand that the Xuanyuan Army shoulders important responsibilities, and we really cannot accept people whose talent and qualifications are not enough."
Hua Changxi: "I know the qualifications of my family, and I also know the heavy responsibilities of the Xuanyuan Army, so I never thought about letting all my family members enter the Xuanyuan Army."
"I am thinking, let them enter the Xuanyuan Prefecture, without arranging important positions for them. Like guarding the library, guarding the warehouse, these things they can definitely handle."
The Xuanyuan Five Generals were all speechless. Although the Xuanyuan Prefecture is large, the Xuanyuan Army also has family members, and they also need to be arranged.
Lu Zhenting suddenly thought of an idea and smiled: "If Little Friend Hua is willing to join the Xuanyuan Army, your family can all enter the Xuanyuan Prefecture, how about it?"
Hua Changxi: "..."
She saw it. Wanting to use the fact of helping find the Xuanyuan Prefecture to arrange all the Hua family members into the Xuanyuan Prefecture was basically impossible.
Hua Changxi was silent for a moment: "When I came just now, I saw Dongfang Hao and Dongfang Xu. What they can do, I can do too."
The main hall of the third palace complex of the Xuanyuan Prefecture is called Wuying Hall. Wuying Hall has five buildings, which are the Earth Qilin Pavilion, Water Qilin Pavilion, Fire Qilin Pavilion, Gold Qilin Pavilion, and Wood Qilin Pavilion.
In front of the five buildings, there are two stone Qilin statues standing.
Just now, when her divine sense scanned Wuying Hall, she noticed that the Qilins in front of the Earth Qilin Pavilion and Wood Qilin Pavilion had disappeared, and only three other buildings had Qilins guarding them.
Therefore, she guessed that the battle of the Dongfang brothers in the Xuanyuan Prefecture was most likely with the two stone Qilin statues in front of the Wood Qilin Pavilion.
Hua Changxi's words jumped quite violently, but they still made the five generals' expressions change at the same time, and they became very serious.
Qin Feng frowned and looked at Hua Changxi: "You... are you sure?"
Hua Changxi thought that she could even take the attack of the Xuanyuan Sword, so the other attacks in the Xuanyuan Prefecture should not be stronger than the Xuanyuan Sword, so she nodded affirmatively: "Of course." ===== CHAPTER 359 =====
