Chapter 71 Jianhao
How big is Chang'ancheng?
Li Bai stood at the gate of the city and stopped for a moment, and the endless flow of troops also blocked for a moment, and then came to the conclusion - I don't know.
For when he looked to the left, he could not see the end of the towering wall, and when he looked to the right, he could not see the end of the towering wall.
The ancient and majestic Chang'an is like a giant from ancient times, lying on its side, it has become a magnificent city.
On both sides, the guards with Mo knives in their hands and fully draped stood like wooden men, their eyes and noses, their mouths and hearts, and they did not reprimand the earthen bun that almost caused a traffic jam as usual.
No one spoke out to reprimand the man who stood in his way, and the irascible people were surprisingly friendly at this moment.
However, under the casual gaze of these people, his Li Bai's appearance and origin will soon be placed on the table of those big people.
Di Renjie is very awesome.
So there are many people who want him to die, and there are many people who want him to live uncomfortably, with the support of the Son of Heaven, they can't help Di Renjie, and they don't dare to do anything, so they will start from the people around him.
Li Bai didn't know this, and he didn't think about it deeply.
As for what if someone comes looking for trouble?
That's not a question, because the answer is frighteningly simple.
Just kill it!
After crossing the gate of the black hole, you will enter the first Chang'an City in the world.
Walking on the Suzaku Avenue, which is still wide with cars and horses, with the endless stream of people, through those independently distributed, like small squares, he came to the most lively West Market in the entire Chang'an City.
If Chang'an City is the most prosperous city in the King Continent, then the West Market is the most abundant place in the King Continent, from all over the world, even the treasures of the Far North Iceland can be seen here.
There are large cannibals wearing pointy boots, earrings, linen turbans, and parrots on their shoulders, dark-skinned dervishes from Tianzhu, ronin warriors from Dongying who speak half-baked Chinese and carry tattered scabbards, and Western wandering knights wearing full-body chain mail......
All kinds of people, merchants and envoys with accents from various countries are endless, and the goods sold in the store are extremely rare even in the present world of the earth.
In the crowd of people, Li Bai even saw a medieval knight wearing full-coverage Gothic plate armor, like an iron can, following behind a blonde man.
According to a Tsing Yi Xiu, it was an envoy from the land of warriors, representing the king of the West named Arthur to meet the king of the East......
It's just that at the end of the words, I can't help but add such a sentence with a little disdain: Barbarian land, dare to sit on an equal footing with my Datang?
The pride of the Tang people immersed in their bones can be seen.
There is no way, the Tang people look down on the West from the bottom of their bones, and a total of 50,000 regular soldiers are stationed in the Western Regions, which deters all the small countries in the Western Regions and the nomadic herds of the Beiyi, and even the distant and powerful Great Food Country does not dare to take a step beyond the Lei Chi and take the initiative to recognize the ownership of the Tang State over the Western Regions.
[What did I see? Plate Knight!]
[This history is a bit confusing, at such a glance, the West is more developed than our East. 】
[Productivity determines everything, take a peek and see the whole leopard, the West is in the Middle Ages, and we are only in the Tang Dynasty. 】
[Don't talk about it, don't forget that in this world, the magic path and tricks are the ultimate determining force for the development of society. 】
Isn't it productivity? 】
Your political teacher's coffin board can't hold it down. 】
Li Bai walked through the crowd, found a casual wine shop opened by Hu Ren in the West Market and sat down, and immediately there was a charming and touching orchid who showed her belly button and stepped on the soft dance steps to greet her.
Orchids are good at dancing, especially in Chang'an, there are many orchids, among which there are many people who are beautiful and fragrant, at least this orchid is far stronger than those in the first line of defense, as if this orchid is really so magical that even a dog is much more noble than the next place.
Although this wine shop is not aimed at the aristocratic group, it is mixed and the environment is very ordinary.
He was about to say something when he suddenly frowned slightly.
A new main quest is here!
Familiar system prompts sound.
Main quest 2 opens: Manifestation in front of people.
Task description 1 [: Chang'an has focused the attention of the entire King Continent in the east and west worlds, and every move you make here will affect the whole world, so please enjoy making a name for yourself here!
Quest Requirement 1: [You need to prove that your kendo surpasses all the current swordsmen in the entire Chang'an.] 】
Task description 2: [As Li Bai, who is a master of poetry and sword, you need to prove not only your swordsmanship, but also your poetry to shock the world. 】
Task requirement 2: [Drinking and writing poems in Changle Fang and successfully achieving "appearing in front of people", spreading the name of poetry immortals to the world. 】
Note: [The higher the fame you get after this mission, the better the reward you get, and there is no penalty for failing this mission.] 】
This task is divided into two aspects, in general, the so-called "pre-human appearance" is actually pretending to be forced, but the former is more difficult, and the latter is less difficult.
He remembered a lot of Li Bai's poems in his head, and if he couldn't do it, he could still seek barrage support, which was even easier than those colleagues who had the attribute of "copying the public".
It's just that unlike them, Li Bai copied Li Bai's poems......
There are more than 100 workshops in Chang'an, and Changle Fang, as a gathering area for the rich in Chang'an, is also the most famous one, which can be seen from the word "Changle".
The most famous thing in Changle Fang is singing and dancing, which is a good place.
Li Bai stood up and no longer stayed in the wine shop, but left directly, causing the smile on the face of Hu Ji, who had just wanted to speak, like a spring breeze, to freeze instantly.
Realizing that he might be being rude, he turned back and smiled apologetically.
The stiffness on the orchid's face melted instantly, the smile bloomed again, and even had the heart to throw a flattering eye, and there was some warmth in the bottom of my heart.
The Tang people look down on orchids, but Li Bai's smile is clearly equal.
[Xiaobai is so polite, and the most annoying thing is that the protagonists of those traversers have an ugly face of the second child and the first child. 】
[For Maona's orchid to throw a flattering eye at the end?]
[Because it's good-looking.] 】
[Phew!Can you do whatever you want if you're good-looking?]
[That's right, being good-looking means that you can do whatever you want.] 】
Yan: [Our little white is handsome!]
Li Bai turned his head and went out, but did not directly inquire about the location of Changle Fang.
Because Changle Fang is a gathering area for the rich, the cost must be very high, so he decided to find a shop to sell the spices he brought first, although it is not much, but it is enough for him to spend in Chang'an.
sold spices, exchanged for a lot of Kaiyuan Tongbao, and put all of them into the Qiankun ring.
These seemingly ordinary copper coins are contaminated with the breath of the world, not the so-called "pickles", but rather life.
Precipitating the various states of life, condensing the red dust and mundane, this copper coin can be used to make a lot of small magic weapons for breaking the power of the demonic way.
The Tang Dynasty used copper coins and cloth as the main currency in circulation, and China had little silver since ancient times, so as described in the novel, it was at least a matter after the Song Dynasty to smash out an ingot of silver.
Gold and silver are more used for foreign trade, or as precious metals to preserve their value, cast into jewelry and utensils.
As for why there are spices?
He came from the Western Regions, and it was very common for him to have spices, and no one would come up to trouble him when he was free.
Today's Chang'an City is governed by Di Renjie impeccably, not to mention such a major event as seeking money and killing people, even extortion and extortion will not escape the law.
In the past, the reason why Chang'an was able to breed so many dark sides secretly was purely because of the collusion of officials and bandits, and Chang'an Mansion could not carry out its work.
In addition, Chang'an is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, and matters large and small are very likely to reach the heavens, so the Yin of Chang'an Mansion in the past dynasties also did things with the attitude of turning big things into small things, small things into nothing, and stability is greater than everything.
No one could have imagined that such a strange talent as Di Renjie would be born in this world, which was even more terrifying than a martial arts immortal for those dark sides of Chang'an.
Speaking of this, Li Bai really didn't believe that Di Renjie could do it alone, even if he was really a genius, it was impossible for the entire Chang'an to be densely covered with his secret agents.
He guessed that the entire Chang'an had been integrated, like a super-large magic weapon, which could monitor the whole city.
In the wine shop of Changle Fang, the children of the nobles dressed luxuriously dressed have to drink and talk happily, and occasionally a few words are revealed in the conversation, which is a secret that ordinary people cannot know at all.
"The envoys of the Land of Warriors are dressed like cans, as I have heard of their cavalry...... Can you really have combat effectiveness?" said a reckless man who looked like a martial arts family.
The Tang Dynasty initially prevailed in the form of heavy cavalry, although later as the opponents gradually became the light cavalry of the Western Regions and the mountains and forests in the south, and gradually became dominated by light cavalry, the Tang Dynasty's heavy cavalry was still active for a long time.
Now, the Tang army is advancing, and the Mo swordsmen are all cut down, even if the iron cavalry can be split in half, the frontal battlefield can be said to be unstoppable, only need to be assisted by light cavalry, maintain the safety of the flanks of the formation, and drive away the enemy cavalry troops.
"I've heard that they invented a tactic of holding a cavalry gun under their arm, and the men and horses are one, and they charge head-on, and no one can beat them on the frontal battlefield. ”
"The disadvantages are too great, if you fight against us, you only need a few thousand light horsemen, with strong bows and crossbows, you can drag them to death. The reckless man said disdainfully.
Li Bai frowned slightly, if there is really a war between the East and the West in the future, this kind of mentality is unacceptable.
Although the medieval cavalry tactics of Westerners are dominated by heavy cavalry, auxiliary forces have always been indispensable.
"Why is Xiao Langjun frowning, but do you think there is something wrong?" the reckless man suddenly looked over, and his eyes lit up.
Li Bai saw that his words were sincere, not like a gentleman, so he nodded and responded: "The soldiers are impermanent, the water is amorphous, at first glance, the cavalry archer can indeed restrain such heavy cavalry, but as long as the enemy commander is not stupid, it is impossible to chase your light cavalry with heavy cavalry, and face the enemy's worst situation with his own best situation, which is a bit taken for granted." ”
"And on the frontal battlefield, it can be said without hesitation that the heavy cavalry regiment that charges with this kind of gun and charges and the tactics of integrating men and horses to carry out the attack is basically invincible. ”
The eyes of the people at the table of the reckless man lit up, probably from a martial arts family, and they were quite interested in marching and fighting, and they all gave up their hands when they heard the words: "I have been taught." ”
Li Bai bowed slightly, then ordered some food and wine by himself, and tasted it.
I have to say, unexpectedly delicious.
There were bits and pieces of information coming from my ears, but when put together, it was clearly not good news.
"Do you know, there is a great swordsman from Dongying, and it is said that he has never tasted defeat in his life. ”
"What is Jianhao?"
"Jianhao is Dongying's name for a master of swordsmanship, and it is said that every Jianhao is at least a martial arts master-level figure. ”
"Dongying is a small country, and it is not a big deal if it does not taste defeat. ”
"But since he came to Chang'an, he has picked eighteen sword sects in a row, and his kendo cultivation is simply invincible. ”
"Really, even the swordsman in Tsing Yi was defeated?"
"Yes, a sword defeat is too clean. ”
"Alas, it's a pity that Pei Min Sword Saint Shenlong can't see the head and the end, otherwise how can he make such a person from a small country in Dongying famous?"
"You have it, even if Pei Min Sword Saint is still in Chang'an, can you bully the small with the big?"
Li Bai frowned slightly: "It seems that the first step of the second main task is a bit difficult." ”
He now thinks that he can fight with an ordinary martial arts master, but he is also an ordinary martial arts master.
This Dongying Sword Hero was able to defeat the eighteen kendo masters of Chang'an in a row, and it was very likely that he had already stood at the peak of the grandmaster realm, and he was by no means an opponent.
In the King Continent, standing at the top of the pyramid, there are three of the most mysterious and most praised powerhouses, among which Merlin in the Western Warrior Land and Jiang Ziya, the Great Demon Master in the East, have all disappeared, and only the strongest man, the old master, is still living in seclusion.
But this does not mean that there are so many real top masters in this world, once the gods of the East and the West such as Athena, the strongest such as the Great Sage Sun Wukong, the Bull Demon King, these legendary powerhouses are the real pinnacle of this world.
But this also does not mean that the martial arts grandmaster is not strong enough, for the mortal world, the martial arts grandmaster is already the most powerful existence, and this is also the case with many small countries in the Western Regions.
If Chang'an were not the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it would be impossible to find such a large number of martial arts masters.
[This is Miyamoto, right?]
[Definitely not, I've studied the background story, Miyamoto was already a sword saint when he was in Chang'an, and even the scourge of the blood clan has ended, and the timeline is obviously not right. 】
[Is it orange essence?]
[Impossible, there is no mention of Tachibana Youkyo coming to China in the background story.] 】
Li Bai looked at the barrage thoughtfully.
It is true that the disaster of the blood clan has not happened yet, and it is impossible to cover up these major events that will inevitably spread all over the world, and since he has not received the letter now, then this Dongying Sword Hao should not be Miyamoto or Tachibana Youjing.
That's a lot easier to deal with.
