Volume 1 Jiangdong Fengyun Chapter 14: City Princess
Bai Tu stood in front of the gate of an independent courtyard with some anticipation and nervousness. The courtyard was not very big. Outside was the county magistrate's office, and inside was only a Han Dynasty-style attic.
This small courtyard is exactly the Chengji Mansion where Xiaopei Chengji lives. It is part of the county magistrate's office. Unless under special circumstances, no outsiders are allowed to enter. Even in times of chaos, when the city was broken and the county magistrate's office was burned down... no one dared to storm the Chengji Mansion.
Even the unruly Yellow Turban Army did not dare to break this rule.
Of course, Cheng Ji would not welcome it. When the city was broken, the officials hid in her house...
Now, because there is only Xiaopei County in the control of Lu Bu's army, Bai Tu, the prefect of Pei County, can only use the county magistrate's office as his seat of government.
Just now Chen Gong reminded Bai Tu that he should first find Cheng Ji and replace the official seal or military token, and then issue the decree through Cheng Ji.
Chen Gong completely assumed that Bai Tu had previously possessed an official seal or a military seal, or possibly even a "civil or military seal."
The official seals and military tokens in this world are something that even the most basic strategists and military officers can possess. The armor of military officers is usually "stored" in the military tokens.
When I first met Zhang Liao, he said that he would wait until we reached the city with Cheng Ji and then replenish Bai Tu's lost armor, which meant to replenish the military tokens!
Therefore, Bai Tu was still a little worried - would he not be able to awaken the military token and official seal?
Normally, military talismans and official seals can be awakened by Cheng Ji after learning certain knowledge or tempering the body to a certain level.
Whether one can awaken the official seal depends on one's mental strength, knowledge, and luck; whether one can awaken the military seal depends on one's personal strength, military talent... and luck!
Luck is subject to fluctuations. When luck is at its lowest point, some people may wake up while others may not. However, those who are truly knowledgeable, skilled in martial arts, and talented will surely wake up.
After possessing the official seal, one will be able to possess unique "strategies", and after possessing the military talisman, one will be able to possess his own "armor". At the same time, whether it is the official seal or the military talisman, if one's personal abilities have the corresponding inclination, one can also stimulate a special "military formation" or even a special "technology tree".
It is also possible to awaken both at the same time to form civil and military talismans, but it seems that the functions will affect each other - Lu Lingqi has only heard of the specific situation.
Lu Lingqi patted Bai Tu and said, "Don't be afraid, I will go in with you! Even if you come out still in white, I won't laugh at you!"
At this time, Lu Lingqi was with Bai Tu. Lu Lingqi had passed Lu Bu's test not long ago. Lu Bu allowed her to awaken her military talisman in Cheng Ji Mansion, just in time to be with Bai Tu.
As for the other people in Lu Bu's army, they were training and deploying defenses at this time, so there was no need to disturb Cheng Ji.
Bai Tu will then directly transfer the food, fodder and manpower needed by Chen Gong to the "military camp" through Cheng Ji.
After providing this part of food and manpower, Chen Gong did not interfere with what Bai Tu wanted to do...
"It shouldn't be as miserable as 'Bai Shen', right? I can push ordinary city guards far away in one go!" Bai Tu said uncertainly.
It's a blessing in disguise, and disaster is inevitable. In the end, he gritted his teeth and walked in with Lu Lingqi.
Bai Tu didn't know whether it was a mutation caused by traveling through time or a normal reaction due to the differences in the world and the fact that his human power had not been extracted. Indeed, in this world, his strength was much greater, almost catching up with Lu Lingqi who had been practicing martial arts since childhood...
Of course, if a real fight breaks out, Bai Tu’s Turtle Fist won’t stand much of a chance of winning.
At this time, Bai Tu was still somewhat confident about the military talismans, but as for the official seals... Bai Tu didn't know whether he, who knew nothing about the classics of the Han Dynasty, could be considered a "literary man" in front of Cheng Ji!
Although he didn't have an official seal, he could still be appointed as a prefect with a military token, but... Chen Gong had been imagining this for so long, and in the end he didn't even have an official seal, so it was inevitable that it felt weird!
Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi walked into the courtyard, called out a few times but heard no response, then they took the initiative to push the door and go in.
Suddenly Bai Tu saw a familiar but very inconsistent scene!
It was clearly an antique attic outside, but after pushing the door open, the first thing Bai Tu saw was a display screen that took up an entire wall - although he couldn't tell what it was made of, but this thing must be a display screen, right?
In front of the wall, a girl wearing a brown cloth skirt and looking a bit rustic, heard Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi enter the room, and hurriedly closed the chat box on the screen...
Is this thing a touch screen?
"Who are you? Don't you know how to knock on the door?" the country girl said in a panic.
It's just a chat box, but it's like I'm on some mature website...
"Ahem, we just called out a few times outside, you may not have heard me. I am the new prefect of Pei County, and I need to awaken my official seal first... or military token, and you are here to awaken the military token as well." Bai Tu said.
"Ah! I did receive your letter of appointment... I, I am Xiao Pei Ji. Your Excellency the Governor, will you be working here?" Sure enough, this country girl was Xiao Pei Ji.
It is said that the city princesses can communicate with each other even if they are thousands of miles apart.
However, official documents and information cannot be transmitted directly through the city princesses, and the communications between the city princesses cannot be known to ordinary people.
Now Bai Tu finally understood what it meant - the chat box he just saw was indeed full of "***", and he couldn't understand it at all!
It is also possible to use the function of City Princess to transmit important information, but it is not an "instant reply". The transmission speed depends on the length of the road between the two cities, the road conditions, and whether there are any obstacles. If blocked by the enemy, you can only send someone to deliver the letter.
The only exception is the Great Han Ji, that is, the most core city Ji of the Han Dynasty, or the Ji of the dynasty!
Some important information within the specified items can be reported directly to the Da Han Ji by the city girls in various places, and the Da Han Ji can receive it without delay.
"That's right, I'll have to trouble Xiao Peiji later!" Bai Tu said.
"Okay...but my functions are not as many as those in the county city." Little Pei Ji said a little nervously.
After all, Xiao Peiji is only a county princess and certainly cannot be compared with a real county princess.
However, Xiangcheng, the county seat of Pei County, was in the hands of Cao Cao, and Xiaopei was only the county seat of Pei County, so what was the point of using a bicycle...
"Let's not talk about that in a hurry, let's awaken the official seal and military talisman first." Bai Tu said more nervously.
Little Pei Ji was also looking at the white map in confusion at this time. In her common sense, even if he was a county magistrate... he shouldn't have just awakened the military seal!
Little Pei Ji, who was a little shy, did not question it actively. Instead, she jumped around nimbly and operated a few times on the big screen. Then, a crack appeared in the floor next to Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi, and a platform rose up. On it... was this a palm print entry device?
" Just put your hand on it." Xiao Peiji reminded.
Bai Tu's mouth trembled, and he always felt that... after entering this attic, the style of painting became magical!
