Chapter 288: Wuyang City
The wide moat was thirty meters wide, and the white stone fence was a cut above the riverbank, and 6 Tao opened the curtain on the carriage and looked at the imperial city getting closer and closer.
After several days of rushing, 6 Tao finally arrived in Wuyang, the closer to the center of Daqin, the more prosperous the surrounding will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not only scattered around the villages and towns, as long as it is the scenery that can be seen in the past, pavilions and pavilions will be added, especially through a large lake, the shore is full of people, and the large and small boats on the lake are vertical and horizontal.
The unknown lake was connected with the moat of Wuyang City, but 6 Tao did not cross the river, and the carriage followed the road all the way to the north gate of Wuyang.
The blue-black walls on the other side of the moat twist and turn like waves, and you can't see the end at a glance. Compared to Wenyang Mansion, it is too majestic and exaggerated.
On the inner side of the moat, under the root of the city wall, there is a circle of low walls, which has never been seen in other cities, and I can't help but wonder a little, is it some kind of defensive measure?
"That's the sheep and horse wall. The middle-aged man sitting next to Liu Tao seemed to notice Liu Tao's gaze and explained to him: "The people nearby drove the livestock over and sold them under the city, and those fenced walls were used to place the livestock to be sold. However, if there is a battle, the soldiers in the city can go down behind the sheep and horse wall and cooperate with the defenders on the city, of course, in our Great Qin, this function is not used. ”
6 Tao suddenly came to his senses, and turned around to thank the middle-aged man.
"Little brother, are you coming to Wuyang for the first time?" The middle-aged man explained the origin of the sheep and horse wall, and seemed to be a little unsatisfied, so he opened his mouth and chatted with 6 Tao.
6 Tao nodded: "That's right, it's my first time." ”
The middle-aged man laughed: "Wuyang is the most prosperous and largest city in our Great Qin, if you go along the outer city, you won't be able to finish shopping in three days, hehe, little brother, what are you doing in Wuyang?"
6 Tao made a mistake, he couldn't say that he was here to steal things, right? After a moment's hesitation, 6 Tao said: "I also admire the prosperity of Wuyang City, so I want to come to this Xiongcheng to see the world." ”
The middle-aged man nodded: "That's really a coincidence, the contemptible person happened to open a hotel in Wuyang, if you don't dislike it, little brother, you will live with me, and I will take you to see the prosperity of Wuyang!"
6 Tao: "......"
He looked at the middle-aged man a little stunned: "But ......"
"Don't worry!" The middle-aged man patted his chest: "My little brother and I hit it off at first sight, when the time comes, you only need to pay for the hotel, and I will take care of the rest!"
6 Tao: "......"
That's not what he meant.
Stepping on the wide stone bridge across the moat, the main gate of the northern city of Wuyang City is right in front of you. On the top of the city gate, there are three big characters of Wuyang North. The eaves and arches, the golden and brilliant triple city towers pressed against the door, did not resist the slaughter that the invading building should have, but added a lot of wealth. Even if the city was full of horns and guards, it still seemed that something was missing.
As the flow of people arrived at the city gate, the inspection of the Wuyang city gate was much more relaxed than expected, and the carriage that 6 Tao was riding passed the city gate, and the soldiers at the city gate just lifted the curtain of the car window and let it go. 6 Tao paid a little attention, only merchants with large bags or vehicles on their bodies would be stopped to pay taxes. Others, the city guards don't take a second look at it at all.
There are two city gates, through the city gate, there is a neat bluestone road at the foot, the carriage stopped near the city gate, 6 Tao was dragged off the carriage by the middle-aged man, and walked all the way inside.
"My hotel's hotel is on the busiest street in the north gate, and I don't know if there are any empty rooms now. The middle-aged man said.
6 Tao's eyes lit up, and he quickly interjected: "If there is no empty room, forget it, why bother Brother Deyou?"
The middle-aged man's name is Li Deyou, a native of Wuyang, this is what 6 Tao just heard Li Deyou say himself, there was nothing to do all the way, 6 Tao never thought about how the middle-aged man who had been sitting beside him without saying a word could suddenly become such an enthusiastic person.
The enthusiasm is breathtaking!
What 6 Tao wants to do this time is not to see the light, no matter what, he must get rid of Li Deyou first.
"Heh! 6 Brother Tao, you are underestimating me! Although the hotel is ours and not mine, there is no problem in giving you a room! If it really doesn't work, I'll give you my own house!"
6 Tao: "...... But!"
"It's nothing, it's here!"
6 Tao looked up and saw a two-story inn standing there, this street connects the north and the south straight, and the street is densely packed with shops one after another, and the pedestrians come and go, almost blocking this not too narrow road.
was pulled by Li Deyou, and 6 Tao had to enter the hotel.
"The eldest prince is back! You are finally back, and the lady began to ask about you yesterday!"
The innkeeper rushed out from behind the counter and grabbed Li Deyou's arm.
"Alas, shopkeeper gold, is there any room in the house? I met a very talkative person on the way, look, it's this, Brother 6 Tao!"
The golden shopkeeper was an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, he frowned when he heard Li Deyou's words, and the wrinkles on his face covered his face like vertical and horizontal ravines, and the old man said with a bitter face: "Eldest Prince, have you forgotten the person who cheated on eating and drinking last time? Madame has repeatedly told you not to bring any indiscreet people back, Eldest Prince." ”
"How do you speak? What do you mean by a person who is not careful? What kind of person can I know Li Deyou? Moreover, people are good at paying? I introduced you to the customer, and I am by no means the one who couldn't even pay for the room before!"
Li Deyou broke away from the hand that grabbed his arm by the golden shopkeeper, but he didn't let go of the hand that grabbed 6 Tao's shoulder, and let 6 Tao go is not to stay.
There were several square tables in the hall on the first floor, and the people sitting at the square tables watched with great interest the shopkeeper of the inn arguing with Li Deyou, just as an after-dinner pleasure.
The shopkeeper Jin seemed to realize this, he closed his mouth in vain, then paused, and then said to Li Deyou: "Eldest prince, there is another room on the east side of the second floor......"
"Say it earlier!" Li Deyou stretched out his hand: "Give it to me quickly!"
The golden shopkeeper reluctantly took off a key from the wooden board behind him and handed it to Li Deyou, who didn't say a word, pulled 6 Tao upstairs.
"Don't forget to meet Madame! Madame has been looking for you for two or three days!"
"Got it!" came the advice of the golden shopkeeper from behind him, and Li Deyou also shouted perfunctorily, knowing that he didn't pay attention to it anymore.
Coming to the east side of the second floor with 6 Tao, Li Deyou opened a room with the key in his hand, and the lock on the door was only two thin metal strips, and the effect of anti-theft was probably not as strong as the effect of making people feel at ease.
The room was clean, with a table, a bed, a cabinet for clothes, and two chairs, and the bedding on the bed did not feel dirty at all.
Li Deyou pulled a chair from the wall and sat down, and motioned for 6 Tao to sit too: "There is still time in the afternoon, I will take you to a nearby restaurant to see how about it?" Although my family lives here, the cooking is really hard to swallow, and I don't know why she didn't change the cook. ”
6 Tao didn't know what to say, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "...... Didn't the shopkeeper just say that your mother was looking for you?"
Speaking, 6 Tao looked out the window, this is directly opposite the alley behind the house, the alley is deep and quiet, from this angle, there seems to be few people passing by, as long as Li Deyou is supported, 6 Tao plans to jump from here, the height of the two-story building is nothing, for the monk 6 Tao, will definitely not be injured.
6 Tao doesn't want to be trapped in this place and be dragged around by this guy every day, he has something to do here.
"Don't worry about my mother, what can she do with me? By the way, I'll take you to the painting boat in Jinyang Lake in the evening, you don't know, the courtesans there are a must!"
6 Tao: "......"
No!
