On the evening of October 19, the yamen in Yuzhang City had already fallen their keys, and officials at all levels had already gone home to prepare for tomorrow's rare holiday.

In the past, the officials either invited a few confidants and friends to get drunk at home, or invited a few scribes to discuss literature together, and in spring and summer, they could also go to the West Mountain with a few friends to go to the west mountain to play a game or two.

It's just that today's mid-year holiday is only one topic that the people in Yuzhang City are talking about!

That is the black curtain that stretches for dozens of miles on the edge of the Ganshui outside the West Gate!

The entire curtain stretched out from the gate of the West City Gate along the Ganshui to the northwest, and spread to the foot of King Teng's Pavilion, which was dozens of miles long!

A few days ago, the citizens who entered and exited the West Gate found that there was a group of workers busy there every day on the edge of the Ganshui River, which lasted for more than a month, and some curious citizens went up to talk to the workers and asked them what they were building here for?

It's just that the workers are very tight-lipped, and no news has come out!

The strangest thing is that this group of workers was working not far from the city wall, while the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate turned a blind eye! You must know that the land on the edge of the city wall has been registered in the military government, and anyone who works here without permission is tantamount to a great crime of rebellion!

Of course, these were the rules of the early years of the Tang Dynasty! Now that Chengping has been in peace for a hundred years, most of these rules have become decorations. But even so, it is impossible for ordinary people to do this!

Naturally, this can only show that the head of this group of workers is a big man full of energy! After this understanding, the citizens have lightened their minds to inquire about it, because after all, "the people do not fight with the officials," and this is the common understanding of all the ordinary people.

A while ago, almost overnight, this curtain that stretched for dozens of miles was erected! In this way, the citizens' curiosity about the things behind the curtain was once again ignited, and with the accumulation of more than ten days, it became more and more intense.

It's just that since the day the curtain was erected, every day and night, there will be a row of county officials standing aside like a door god.

The previous commander of Wu County, Yuzhang County, was really promoted three levels because of his contribution to pacifying Changshan Island. It has already moved from Yuzhang County, a high-class county, to a medium-sized county in Jiangnan East Province, and has become a county guard in charge of a county! The Tang Dynasty advocates military merits, which can be seen from this!

Wu County Ling had a premonition that something big would happen in Yuzhang, and he didn't want to stay for a long time!

So when he asked the court for merit, he also attached a piece of resonance that he was seriously ill and needed to return to his hometown in Yangzhou to recuperate, but he was afraid of leaving the impression that the old illness was too much to use to the court, so he said that he was just overworked and could be cured after only a few months. At the same time, I spent a lot of money to ask my friends in Beijing to help with the operation, which is really painstaking!

In this way, Wu County Commander was not only promoted but also got a reply to recuperate, so when the official document from the imperial court came, he rushed to his hometown in Yangzhou non-stop, because there was an official document for recuperation, and there was no need to wait for the next Yuzhang County Commander to arrive and hand over, otherwise he would have to wait at least for more than a month! Wu County Commander didn't want to stay in Yuzhang City for a day!

In this way, during the blank period between the two chief officials, Yuzhang County was held by the county governor of Yuzhang County, and the county official was busy, and the maintenance of law and order on the street was put into the hands of Hao Dazhi.

As a result, the citizens could only stand aside and point out and speculate, all kinds of rumors have been in the hustle and bustle in Yuzhang City in the past few days, but there is no accurate information.

Until yesterday, a huge sign was erected on the side of the curtain outside the West City Gate, indicating that an "opening ceremony" would be held this evening.

For such a fresh word, the citizens don't understand it very well, but the sign also displays some of the guests who will be present that night, the first one in the book is Yuzhang Taishou, Wang Xian, and the rest are all dignitaries in Yuzhang City.

And it also said that all citizens will be allowed to enter and play in it that night, and the above-mentioned guests will be treated the same as the citizens, without any discrimination!

When the citizens heard this, they were even more excited! They thought that even if they went in and did nothing, they would be able to brag to others that they had played with Taishou! That guy has a lot of face!

And so, the enthusiasm that the citizens had been building up for many days exploded at this moment! All the people were looking forward to the arrival of the evening.

"Owner, it's not too early at this time, why haven't you seen the distinguished guests!" Outside the West City Gate, in a room that was originally used for workers to live on the side of the curtain, a capable man in his thirties was facing Xu Chen, with an anxious look on his face.

Xu Chen shook his head when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart! This person's name is Mu Chun, and it was Xu Chen who asked Peng Ze to go to other places to look for a new replacement for the original Wang Shopkeeper. Originally, he was the shopkeeper of a restaurant in Yizhou, and he was still very shrewd, but he had never seen much of the world, and his bearing was still a little worse. Fortunately, he learned things quickly, and the new concepts that Xu Chen taught him were quickly accepted and he could draw inferences from them, which surprised Xu Chen! As for the matter of bearing, he could improve after some time of practice.

"Don't worry! Isn't it time yet! Dignitaries and nobles! I always like to come late, otherwise how can I distinguish myself from the common people?" Xu Chen replied flatly.

"Dongjia, that's what I'm worried about! I'm afraid it's ...... for us to treat these people indiscriminately like this," Mu Chun said carefully while observing the Dongjia's expression.

"Hehe, don't worry! It's okay! I don't dare to say anything else, but Wang Taishou is still back! Okay, even if Wang Taishou doesn't come, it's enough to have a teacher and a group of his friends! The key is that as soon as we open here, the momentum will be spread, and those who are not there will soon be impatient to run!" Xu Chen said confidently.

When Mu Chun heard this, he had no choice but to nod his head, but he still had worries in his heart.

Soon, Mu Chun found that his worries were a little unnecessary, because an ox cart was driving at the city gate, and two middle-aged people were sitting on it, one of them was Yu Zhang Taishou and Wang Xian.

When Wang Xian arrived, the West City Gate was already overcrowded, but fortunately, Xu Chen had already expected this scene and had made some instructions to Hao Dazhi in advance.

Now all the catchers in the county government of Yuzhang County are all dispatched, and several areas are divided according to Xu Chen's instructions on the side of the curtain that stretches for dozens of miles, and the tourists who arrive are waiting by the curtain according to these areas, because there are dozens of miles of area, although there are many tourists, they are not crowded.

Xu Chen saw that the people who should come were almost coming, so he gave the order to go down and let his subordinates start.

So, after a while, all the visitors present felt that their eyes were suddenly dark!

In the entire area, except for the faint lights on the city wall, Xu Chen did not have the power to extinguish them, and the cowhide lanterns that were originally placed on the edge of the curtains, one every few miles, were all extinguished at this moment.

Then, just as the tourists were about to make noise, the whole area was lit up again, only this time the lights were no longer dim and yellow, but colorful and dazzling.

At this moment, in the area stretching for dozens of miles, more than 10,000 people present in the entire Yuzhang City were all shocked by the qiē in front of them!

Silence, silence, deathly silence!

All of them opened their eyes wide, and no one was willing to say a word again, for fear of shattering the "illusion" in front of them.

This is the consensus of all people.

I saw that after the curtain was lowered, in the place that was originally close to the west city gate, there was a path that extended from the city gate, and the path was white and flawless, like beautiful jade. On both sides of the road are two rows of small trees that are not tall but chic, and this tree is probably one of those legendary fairy trees!

Walking along the path to the northwest, you can see a fairyland-like store, and closer are two rows of two-story houses with blue tiles and white walls, with festive couplets pasted on the door, and delicate glass lanterns hanging under the eaves.

A little further past the room was a long hollowed-out corridor, the corridor was not capped, but it was wrapped with dense green vines, and all kinds of plants were still growing green on this winter night.

Walking in the mile-long corridor, on the left is the surging water, and on the right is placed rows of stone carvings, all of which are carved with the sages and Confucians of the past dynasties. At the base of each statue is a light that shines on the statue's face, making the image of the sage even more majestic and mysterious.

After passing through the corridor, you can see a square with a radius of several miles, and in the middle of the square there is a huge flower garden, which is planted with all kinds of precious flowers and plants, which still shine in the winter night.

On the side of the square near the city wall was a huge stone several miles long, the surface of which was clean and immaculate, without any pattern or writing, and it was not known what it was used for.

On the other side of the square, close to the side of Ganshui, there is a platform that stretches out of the river for half a mile, there are several pillars under the platform, which have been inserted into the river, and there are railings made of white marble around the platform, and the railings are also carved with lifelike ornaments.

On the north side of the square, a huge memorial arch is erected, and the plaque on the memorial arch is now covered with red silk.

From the huge gate under the torii, you will come to the most bizarre place in the whole area, because some of the previous things, although the citizens are surprised, but they can still recognize what they are.

However, since entering this gate, the qiē inside has made the citizens feel so strange.

First of all, on the left is a group of large tents similar to those used by aliens on the grassland, but there is no shelter around this big tent, and there are one after another ponies with different expressions, and each horse has an iron rod on its back, and these horses are surrounded by a huge iron rod in the big tent, forming a circle around the perimeter, and I don't know what it is used for.

And on the right is ......
