The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 47: Outside the Taiping Division (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
Wuling City is very big.

In particular, the place where Yang Jin lived was located on the edge of the outer city, very far away from the inner city.

To get all the way from here to the inner city, you need to ride a horse.

However, Su Mu had no horse to ride, and in order not to show off in public, he walked quietly relying on his own strength, passing through the streets and alleys. At almost noon, he finally arrived at the inner city of Wuling City.

In the past, I only heard people say that Wuling City has the difference between the inner city and the outer city, but Su Mu didn't have any direct feeling.

Today, he was deeply touched along the way.

The closer you get to the inner city, the wider and cleaner the streets are, the more lively they are, and even the pedestrians on the street seem more energetic.

Especially when he saw the walls of the inner city, his feelings were even deeper.

The walls of the inner city far exceeded any ancient city walls he had seen in his previous life. They were nearly times higher and times thicker than the walls of the outer city.

The entire city wall gleams with a metallic texture under the sunlight, and it is obviously not built with ordinary stones.

Outside the city wall, a moat several meters wide was even dug.

"This isn't the inner city and the outer city, these are two completely different cities, separated by high walls and wide rivers, even if there's a riot in the outer city, it won't affect the inner city at all.

If there is any force attacking Wuling City, the outer city will block it first."

Su Mu looked at the magnificent city wall of the inner city for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Class is everywhere. He is just a small squad leader and cannot take care of so many things.

He went straight to the gate of the inner city and was stopped by the gate guard.

The inner city has strict entry and lenient exit, and anyone who wants to enter the inner city must pass inspection.

Ordinary people are not qualified to enter the inner city. If ordinary people want to enter the inner city, they must have a clearance document signed and approved by the Sima of the outer city.

Su Mu was not an ordinary citizen. He was an officially appointed squad leader, and also a captain verbally appointed by the Sima of Nancheng.

Su Mu came to the city gate and revealed his identity to the gate guard.

"Are you the Su Mu who broke into the Xu Mansion at night, killed several guards in front of Xu Mingchen, and captured the Xu Mansion's housekeeper?"

The gate guard looked at Su Mu and suddenly spoke.

"Yes."

Su Mu nodded and said, "I am the official squad leader of the Nancheng Division, but my badge has not been made yet, and my appointment as the Nancheng Division's head constable is going through the process."

"Without a badge, I can't let you in."

The city gate said expressionlessly, "But your identity cannot be fake. Go in, and remember to come out before nightfall. Before you are officially appointed as the head of the police, you cannot spend the night in the inner city."

If he had known that he could enter the inner city without a badge, he would have come earlier.

But think about it, if it weren’t for what happened yesterday, the inner city guards probably wouldn’t have known who he was.

After all that commotion, I became famous, which was a bit of an unexpected surprise.

Su Mu bowed and thanked him, then walked through the city gate and entered the inner city.

What he didn't know was that just after he entered the inner city gate, the gate guard called a man and whispered something, and then the man quickly entered the inner city.

…………

With the topographic map provided by Wei Yongfu, Su Mu did not lose his way even though it was his first time in the inner city.

Walking along a street that was more than twice as wide as the widest road in the outer city, Su Mu soon found the Taiping Division's office.

Although the Taipingsi Yamen was not located in the most central part of the inner city, it occupied a large area in the eastern part of the inner city.

The blue brick wall is more than ten feet high, and the black gate is large enough for ten people to pass through side by side.

There was no plaque hanging at the Taipingsi yamen, and there was not even any statue of Bi'an or lions placed at the entrance of ordinary yamen gates.

If you didn't know the place, you would just think it was some wealthy family's mansion and would never imagine that this was the famous Taipingsi Yamen.

"Yeah, very low-key. I like this style."

Su Mu nodded slightly in his heart.

He straightened his clothes, stepped forward and knocked on the black door.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
After waiting for a while, the two heavy black doors creaked open a crack, and a man dressed as a servant walked out. "Who are you looking for?"

The other party glanced at Su Mu and asked with some confusion.

"I'm looking for an adult, probably in his twenties..."

Su Mu described Brother Taiping's appearance, "I made an agreement with him. He asked me to come and find him."

Su Mu added one last sentence.

If he didn't say that, I'm afraid people wouldn't let him in.

"Do you know the master's name? There are several masters in the Taiping Division of Wuling City who are just like what you are describing."

When the servant heard that Su Mu was invited by a certain important person, his attitude softened a lot and he asked thoughtfully.

"He didn't tell me his name, he just asked me to come to Taipingsi to look for him."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "Are there many people in the Taiping Division of Wuling City? Would you mind letting me go in and look for them?"

"I'm afraid this won't work."

The servant shook his head and said, "There are demons moving in the Daxing Mountains outside the city, and the adults have gone to check it out. If I don't know who invited you here, I can't let you in."

"Not here?"

Su Mu was stunned for a moment. He had finally entered the inner city, was he going to come back empty-handed?

"You can leave your name and address. I will ask for instructions when the adults come back, and then someone will notify you."

The servant said politely.

"It can only be the."

Su Mu thought for a moment, "This swordsmanship secret book was left to me by that master. If you give it to him, he will know. My name is Su Mu, and I am currently working in the South City Division. When the masters come back, please let someone notify me.

I will come back sometime.”

He handed the secret book of Fu Bo Sword Technique to the servant as a voucher.

Anyway, he has already mastered this sword technique to perfection, so there is no point in keeping the secret book.

The servant took the secret book and his attitude became better.

"You don't have to call me big brother. I'm just a handyman in the Taiping Division."

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will report it in time."

Looking at the heavy black door closing again, Su Mu couldn't help but feel emotional.

A servant with the cultivation level of the second stage of Body Tempering would at least be a squad leader in the outer city, and he might even have a chance to become a captain of police. But in the Taiping Division he could only be a servant.

Taipingsi is where I should be.

Su Mu walked down the steps and was about to return to the outer city when suddenly two people came up to him.

"Su Mu, my master wants to see you."

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, just sandwiched Su Mu in the middle. Judging from their posture, if Su Mu did not agree, they would forcibly take Su Mu away.

"Who is your son?"

Su Mu glanced at the two men. Their skin was rough, with obvious signs of skin tempering. They were at least warriors at the Skin Tempering Stage.

The other party called out his name right from the start, obviously coming prepared.

Although he was not afraid, he couldn't act rashly in the inner city.

"You'll know when you arrive."

The one on the right of the two spoke up, "Please."

Su Mu pondered for a moment and decided to go and see who the other person was.

"lead the way."
