"Surprisingly, your excellency didn't run away when you saw us!" The leading General of Ann Country stood in front of Tang Yin. This person looked to be in his early thirties and was slightly older than the other three. He had a medium build and a rough appearance. From his appearance, one could tell that he was someone with a tough personality.

Tang Yin pretended not to understand his words, and asked blankly: "Why would I run?" "Did you forget what happened last night so quickly?" The leader stared straight at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin threw his head back and laughed out loud, "A straight up is not afraid of slanting shadows! "If I didn't do it, why should I be afraid of you?" "Are you really a ranger?" The other two men and one woman also walked forward, and looked at Tang Yin up and down.

"That's right." Tang Yin answered straightforwardly.

"Which people?" The coarse looking high-ranking officer asked again.

"Feng Country." Tang Yin answered truthfully. This matter of nationality could not be concealed. Although the languages of the various nations in the Haotian Empire were interlinked, there were still regional differences. Different accents could be spoken in an instant by people with some experience.

Wind Nation?" "Yes, I can hear it!" The high-ranking officer was quite satisfied with Tang Yin's response. Nodding, she then suspiciously asked, "Sir, why have you come to An Dong …" "Passing by!" "I'm going to Shangjing," Tang Yin replied indifferently. "I'm just passing through your country." "Oh!" "I believe you have nothing to do with the burglar of last night, but you have been following him all this time, and I hope you can give us some clues." Tang Yin shook his head and bluntly replied, "I've been following that thief for a long time, but I lost him after he ran into the forest. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can give you." Seeing this, Tang Yin smiled and said, "I can give all of you a kind advice. Since the bandits have already run away, in the future, they will no longer dare to come back to this town to commit crimes. The world is so vast, and even if you want to follow them, you won't be able to find any clues." With that, he clasped his hands at the four generals and said, "Generals, this one shall take his leave. See you later!" "Then he turned and walked out again.

"Tang Chu!" The rough general called out to him again.

Tang Yin stopped in his tracks, but did not turn his head back, nor did he reply.

"If there really is a chance to meet again, I will definitely compete with you again!" The wild general said seriously.

"Tang Yin's shoulders loosened as he smiled silently. Without looking back, he waved his hand and said:" I look forward to it. " While talking, he had already passed through the many Ann Army in front. Just then, the waiter pulled out the horses belonging to the three of them, Tang Yin and the rest took the reins, jumped onto their horses and left.

"Let them go just like that?" Two men and a woman spoke in unison as they looked at him.

"Or?" "This man is Spirit Cultivator of Dark, and his cultivation is much higher than ours, even if we want to, we cannot keep him here!" "Besides, he has nothing to do with this case, so we don't need to be involved in any unnecessary trouble," General Kuang said faintly. Hearing his words, the other three officers no longer said anything.

After Tang Yin, Le Tian and Jiang Fan left the line of sight of the Ann Army, the three of them immediately galloped their horses and galloped away, afraid that the Ann Army behind them would catch up to them and rush out of the town at their fastest speed. This was after all, a Ann Country, not a Feng Country. If there was a dispute with a Ann Army, or even a fight, even if it was Tang Yin, it would be difficult to escape.

Fortunately, the four Ann Army generals didn't have the intention to fight with Tang Yin anymore. After the three of them left the town, they headed south, straight towards the border of Ann Country and the capital city.

Originally, it was a three day journey, but Tang Yin, Le Tian and Jiang Fan only needed two and a half days to make it there.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would have far more troops in his hands than the dukes, so the huge army would be responsible for protecting the safety of the dukes. The other dukes, on the other hand, would have to pay tribute every year to support the emperor, his ministers, and his army, and now, with the decline of the imperial court, there were only a few forms of tribute left in the various dukes. The money, grain, and supplies offered were far from what they used to be, and it was difficult for them to provide for the imperial family and the imperial government.

However, the more unarmed one was, the weaker the imperial power would be, and the less likely they would be looked down upon by the other kingdoms. Thus, the amount of gold and silver offered would also decrease. This was a vicious cycle.

But no matter what, Shang Jing was still the capital, the center of the entire Haotian Empire.

Shang Jing was so big that it took up a large area of land, and even exceeded the scope of the city. Being able to gather a huge mountain within his town was already considered the only thing in the world. The mountain peak inside Shang Jing was called Tian Zi Mountain, and it was said that the emperor of Haotian Empire was born here, and was the son of the Celestial Emperor.

The imperial palace was built on top of the Tian Zi Mountain, with a total of five floors, as well as nine entrances. The imperial palace was built on top of the Tian Zi Mountain, and had a total of five floors, as well as nine entrances. The fixed population of Shang Jing was already over two million. If one considered the floating population, then it would probably be close to three million.

Although it was called a city, it was actually as big as a country. Plus, it had a large population and was highly developed in terms of business. The tax revenue each year was enormous, allowing it to support more than half of the imperial government. Shang Jing's prosperity and prosperity were also one of the main reasons why the royal family did not starve to death in the palace.

Regardless of whether one was from a Haotian Empire or not, any citizen of any duke or nation could freely enter or leave Shang Jing at any time, and would not be obstructed. It was precisely because of such a loose policy that Shang Jing did not decline along with the imperial power and remained the economic and cultural center of the empire for a long time.

When Tang Yin, Le Tian and Jiang Fan entered Shang Jing, they were also stunned by the grand occasion that unfolded in Shang Jing. They had never seen such a huge city with such a bustling population.

It was hard to believe that in such a prosperous and lively capital, the imperial power was already so weak that it could be trampled upon by others. That would mean that the Son of Heaven was too despicable and incompetent, and the only thing that could be said was that there was a huge problem with the Haotian Empire system itself.

The dukes must not have military power, or else the central government would weaken day by day, just like how the counties of dukedoms could not have military power. Otherwise, it was hard to say when someone like him would start a rebellion. Tang Yin was a modern man, and was well aware of the dangers of having military power. Furthermore, he started his life with the help of a county army or army. At this time, he had already secretly made his decision in his heart. Once he was king, the first thing he would do was to completely strip the military power of all the counties in the county of his authority, and concentrate it on one point, and that was Yan City. The military power could be concentrated on one person, and that person should be the Sovereign King herself.

Shang Jing was too big, and the deeper they went into their hearts, the more pedestrians there were. Cars were everywhere, and the place was bustling with noise and excitement.

Tang Yin asked Le Tian, who was beside him: "Le Tian, can we contact Jiang Lou right now?" Le Tian smiled at Tang Yin and said: "Sir, Lord Jiang is living in one of the biggest inns in the capital, Four Seas Inn! "Once we get there, someone will bring us to Lord Jiang." "Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and smiled. It would be convenient to bring Le Tian along as there was almost nothing that he did not know.

As there were too many people walking on the street, Tang Yin and the others could not rush their horses. They could not even ride horses, so they could only lead their horses and slowly walk.

The Four Seas Inn was located at the foot of the Tian Zi mountain in the northwest of the mountain. It was surrounded by pavilions, three of which were three stories high and one of which was a four story high restaurant. The restaurant was bustling with business and had carriages in front of the entrance.

Tang Yin, Le Tian and Jiang Fan stopped in front of the inn's main entrance, raised their heads and looked at the huge signboard above them, and confirmed that they were indeed at Four Seas Inn.

"Do the Sir people live here?" There were more than ten employees gathered outside the inn, continuously greeting the guests. All of them were busy to the point of sweating, and just as Tang Yin and the other two stopped, a servant walked up to them.

Before Tang Yin and the other two could say a word, a young man ran out from inside the door and chuckled to the servant: "These three are my friends, I have already booked a room for them." Oh! "So it's Young Master Liu's friend. Quick, quick, please come in!" Upon hearing that it was his friend, his attitude became even more courteous, and he rushed forward to help Tang Yin and the other two lead their horses, welcoming them in.

Tang Yin did not recognize the young man, but he smiled and did not say much, only giving the young man a few glances. Seeing his doubt, Le Tian said in a low voice, "Sir, this is our Sky Eye's brother!" Hearing that, Tang Yin relaxed his guard and smiled sincerely, then said to the young man: "It has been hard on you, brother." "Tang Yin did not know him, but he recognized Tang Yin. After hearing her words, the young man immediately bowed and said softly:" Master is polite, master is polite! " Waving her hand, Tang Yin gestured to him not to be too polite and allowed the young man to lead the way into the tavern. He asked: "Is Jiang Lou in the tavern?" "Yes, my lord, Lord Jiang is in her room. I will inform him immediately and ask him to come downstairs to welcome you!" There was no accurate information on Jiang Lou, Sky Eye and Earth Web. It was also impossible for Jiang Lou to be like Sky Eye and Earth Web scouts, who had the time to stand guard at the inn's entrance and wait at all times.

"No need!" Tang Yin shook his head and laughed, he then asked softly, "What is our Master Jiang doing in his room?" "Sleep!" The youth bluntly replied.

"Sleep?" Tang Yin could not help but turn his head to look at the sky outside. It was already noon, why would he need to sleep in the middle of the day?

The young man explained, "Lord Jiang drank with a Minister of Imperial Court last night and didn't come back until early in the morning, so... He is resting in his room. "
