Chapter 197: Embarrassed
Daqin has a vast territory, coupled with the fact that the means of transportation are only horse-drawn carriages, and the mountain roads are rugged, so everyone walked for three months before they walked from Xichuan to the imperial capital.
When we set off, it was still cold and biting, but now the spring breeze has hit people everywhere, and the warblers are singing and dancing.
It's April again.
"Brother Ma, what does the dynasty look like?" Guan Kui asked, his eyes full of yearning.
In this team, except for Qin Yuchuan, only Ma Qingrong has been to the imperial capital, Guan Kui didn't dare to ask the prince, so he could only ask Ma Qingrong.
Everyone looked over, and they were all hillbillies who had never left the nine counties in the southwest.
A smile appeared on Ma Qingrong's gloomy face, although there were still a few twists, but he had done his best, he was born with a problem with his appearance, and he couldn't afford to be kind!
Because of this, his former boss didn't let him laugh, saying that his smile was ill-intentioned.
"Chaodu!" Ma Qingrong thought for a while and said, "It's very big, bigger than the entire Xichuan County, and there are about six or seven hundred thousand people. ”
"Sss
"Yes, yes, Commander Ma speak quickly!" Xi Weizu's eyes widened and he looked at him without blinking.
Ma Qingrong puffed up his chest, and his vanity was greatly satisfied: "That's not it, after all, the capital is big, but the real center is still very crowded, especially the land is expensive." ”
"How expensive?"
"The small house where ordinary people live is estimated to cost five hundred taels of silver. ”
"My mother!" Xi Weizu patted his heart cooperatively: "It's so expensive, then I can't afford to buy a house in my life!"
Not only did Xi comfort the ancestors, but Fang Xile was also worried, the house price was too expensive, and the silver in her hand was only enough to buy a single-family courtyard.
However, the location of the Xuanyin Division, the imperial court should solve it, right?
Thinking like this, the motorcade got closer and closer, and it was already possible to see the towering walls of the capital from afar.
Fang Xile looked at the city wall, his heart was full of shock, and he could only think of the word majestic.
The city wall is more than ten meters high, equivalent to four or five stories high.
Because there are more warriors in this world, if the city walls are short, then the warriors are not just going in and out casually.
However, this height can only stop the acquired martial artists and the innate weak, and for Fang Xile, he can jump over in a few clicks.
Therefore, the capital is not only a defense of the city wall, but also a strong person stationed on it, and even a formation, and if you climb over the city wall without permission, you will be attacked.
How tightly guarded it is, I'm afraid you can only know it once you break in.
Fang Xile is okay, the others are not so reserved, Xi Weizu's jaw is about to fall, Deng Jia's eyes are glued to the city wall and he is motionless, Wang Dalong stepped on the air and fell.
"Hey, hey"
"Haha"
"Ahh
Fang Xile covered his face silently, can you be more restrained, don't embarrass your commander?
Ma Qingrong laughed proudly, and the people who saw the city wall of the capital for the first time all reacted like this: "How about it, the capital city is big!"
Qin Yuchuan lifted the curtain and looked at the capital through the gap, not knowing what he was trying to write.
There was a long queue outside the city gate, and these people were all waiting to enter the city, including merchants who were dusty, scholars who were dressed plainly, and Jianghu people who were dressed as warriors.
They were all waiting at the door honestly, and the court was not a place where they could make trouble.
The coachman drove the car to a corner gate where no one was around.
There are three gates at the capital gate, the gate in the middle is only opened on important occasions, and the two corner gates next to it, one is for ordinary people to pass through, and the other is reserved for the children of nobles.
They don't line up like ordinary people.
Naturally, the coachman drove the car to the corner gate.
"The king of Chuanjun is driving, open the door quickly!"
The two guards guarding the door glanced at each other, and one of the people with a red tassel on his helmet smiled: "The king of Sichuan County is far away in Xichuan, how can he appear in the imperial capital, if you talk nonsense again, I will throw you out!"
"The king of the county has received an order to return to Beijing!" the coachman patiently explained, because Qin Yuchuan was kind and unpretentious, so the subordinates of the palace did not act as a bully.
"I believe just your words, the king's chariot is driven by four horses, and the car is engraved with Jiao's pattern, you see that there is no sign on your car. ”
The coachman frowned, they came all the way from Xichuan County, how could they prepare these.
Along the way, the mountain road is rugged and narrow, and a horse-drawn cart will pass by.
Qin Yuchuan stretched out a hand and held a token in his hand: "The token is here, don't release it quickly!"
The gatekeeper looked at it carefully and shook his head: "I've never seen this token, it's the first time I've seen it!"
Fang Xile frowned slightly, Qin Yuchuan had been away from the capital for many years, and his token had not been excusable, but as a well-informed doorman guarding the gate of the capital, he should have basic judgment, so he was deliberately making things difficult for Qin Yuchuan and his party.
Who is trying to make things difficult for them?
Deliberately blocked Qin Yuchuan at the gate and embarrassed?
Fang Xile narrowed his eyes, except for the third prince, who else had the courage to dare to embarrass the prince of the county.
Apparently the others realized that something was wrong, and immediately glared at the guards.
The guard shook the red tassel on top of his head, with a serious face: "We must be cautious in guarding the safety of the capital, please forgive me!"
At the other corner door, someone was already pointing.
They couldn't hear the voice, but they could probably guess what was going on.
A nobleman dressed gorgeously and shaking a fan laughed: "Do you think that anyone who comes from the court can enter through that door?"
The person next to him immediately interjected: "At first glance, it's a group of hillbillies, and only the children of the real nobles can walk through that door." ”
The real noble children refer to the family with a title, otherwise even if you are rich, otherwise no matter how big the official is, you will have to line up honestly.
The Great Qin is very strict in dividing the nobles, and the remaining nobles with different surnames are either the descendants of the first generation of meritorious heroes, or they are the powerhouses of the real realm who have received rewards from the imperial court.
Everyone nodded one after another, how can a real nobleman be so good, he must be a hillbilly from a small place who doesn't understand the rules.
Fang Xile heard their conversation clearly, did the third prince let out the fact that Qin Yuchuan was blocked at the gate, did he want them to become a joke as soon as he came?
What should I do?
I'm afraid it will backfire.
At this time, a familiar voice came from afar: "The old minister is late, please forgive your highness!"
Bao Rensheng ran over from afar, his face was more rounded, and his voice was still loud and deafening.
"You guards who don't have long eyes! Even the prince of Great Qin dares to stop you, tomorrow I will go to the court, I will report to the king!"
Fang Xile smiled, reinforcements have arrived!
