Chapter Twenty-Three: Jingcheng

Qiaofu compound in Qu'a County

An elder who was almost fifty drove out of the Qiao Mansion compound, followed by a middle-aged woman. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Dad, mother!" Qiao Shurou, who was on Chen Xuanlu's side, had already desperately run towards the two.

After explaining the matter clearly, the middle-aged woman took Qiao Shurou back to the inner court.

Chen Xuanlu and the three of them were taken to the main hall of the living room by Qiao Guang and received them well.

"Gong Qiao, I don't know if the prisoner car from Danyang County can come recently?" Chen Xuanlu took this opportunity to ask Qiao Guang a question.

"The prisoner van from Danyang County? I've never heard of it! Then Qiao Guang said with a smile, "The old man has never paid much attention to this aspect, what's wrong with the little brother?" ”

Chen Xuanlu saw that Qiao Guang was loyal and kind, not a treacherous and cunning person, and then explained the whole story.

"It turns out that you are the son of Taifu Chen Fan, disrespectful and disrespectful!" As soon as he heard that it was Chen Fan's son, Qiao Guang said, "Then let the old man think about it carefully!" ”

After a long time, Qiao Guang suddenly said: "There is a Jingxi in the east of the Acheng River in this Ququ, and there is a Jingcheng in the upper reaches of Jingxi. ”

The Erdu River flows straight through the county seat of Qu'a, to the boundary between Lizhuang and Jintan, and the east of the river is the source of Jingxi.

Standing majestically at the source of Jingxi is Jingcheng. This is an earthen city wall, so the city is close to the source of Jingxi, the terrain is narrow, there is a plain land, so the city wall is extremely high.

The gates were made of large thick wood and wrapped in a hard metal skin. There is an area outside the city gate, all of which are set up with heavy weapons and equipment such as bed crossbows, stone throwers, and rolling wooden stones, and there are countless war towers, war sheds, crossbow platforms, and platforms. There is a female wall in front of it, and a few steps later is a deep moat, the river water is drawn directly from the Jing River, and enters the city with a secret waterway, which is convenient for the residents of the city to use the water of the Jing River.

A few steps away from the moat, there is a continuous sheep and horse wall, there is a moat in front, and there are countless fences, horses, and antlers in the middle. About fifty miles and a hundred miles away, there is a sheep and horse wall, a fence to protect the moat, and countless horses and antlers to be rejected, for defensive purposes. The towers are covered with bows, arrows, crossbows, and sharp weapons for the city's defense.

Although Jingcheng is not as grand as Danyang County and Qu'a County, it is also outside the city as the king of princes

Legend has it that in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake uprising, and was blessed by Xiao He Xiangyou, with the assistance of a group of brothers, he entered Xianyang City, but he was taken by the overlord Shenyong, and retreated to Hanzhong after the battle of Hongmen. In the end, Zhang Liang, the god machine military master, and Han Xin, the god of war and martial arts, had to take down this piece of the world.

After gaining the world, Emperor Gaozu wantonly divided the feuds, including his cousin Liu Jia, King Jing. In 196 BC, King Jing died in the national turmoil, leaving behind his young sons Liu Wen and Liu Wu, who were only a few years old. After the death of King Jing, Emperor Gaozu named his nephew Liu Bi as the king of Wu, accepted the original land of Jing, and changed Jing to Wu. King Wu became a vassal, bullied the Liu brothers, detained Liu Wu, and killed Liu Wen in anger. In 154 BC, the "Rebellion of the Seven Kings". Liu Bi, the king of Wu, rebelled against the dynasty, and Wu general Tian Bailu took advantage of the chaos to secretly release Liu Wu. In order to avoid trouble, Liu Wu changed his surname to "Jing" and lived in seclusion in the south of Qu'a Jing River.

The Rebellion of the Seven Kings subsided, and Liu Wu died. In the third year of Han Jianyuan (138 years ago), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Liu Wu's son Jing (Liu) Tan, and 50,000 acres of fertile land were in the area of Jingxi. Jingtan built a manor, named "Tanfuzhuang", for the sake of safety, and at the same time built the city with earth, named "Jingcheng". The descendants of the Jing family have lived in Jingcheng for generations, until Jing Beihuai, the head of this generation, took over, Jingcheng was already full of organs, and there was a murderous aura.

Chen Xuanlu has managed so many organs, and he single-handedly takes on this Jingcheng. I haven't seen anything else in this Jingcheng world, when Wang Mang was in chaos, and when all the men in the world were competing for deer, no one rushed to take risks.

It can be said that Jingcheng is not afraid of danger, but it is also a little helpless for those adventurers who have no clue. These layers of organs are all set up in response to people, and they will never let one go easily, unless he knows more about them than Jing Cheng.

And this person is Chen Xuanlu, who often goes in and out of Fu Zi Che's organ building, and is taught by Yu Ji, and has to be ordered by Mo Heng, the envoy of Tuyao, from time to time, so that Chen Xuanlu's poor skills can't find out.

There had already been a small servant who had already reported to the lord of the mansion that someone had trespassed into the various important organs of Jingcheng without permission and was about to set foot on the first trench a hundred miles away. This mansion lord Jing Beihuai was already young and competitive, and he had always wanted to see the vast world outside, but he had been stopped by the old city lord, and after the old mansion lord swallowed the sky, he had to guard this family business.

Suddenly, he heard that someone dared to break into battle alone, and this was the first time he had heard of it.

I was even more surprised to hear that someone had been able to get past the heavy fortifications and to come to the first trench unscathed.

With a strong sense of curiosity about these two questions that were enough to confirm his two firsts, Jing Beihuai no longer estimated his identity as the lord of the mansion, and went straight to the city gate.

But what he didn't expect was that because there was no order from the lord of the palace to use the siege equipment, the young man walked all the way from the first trench to the moat without any scruples.

"Who are you, why did you break into my Jingcheng!" I saw the soldiers on the tower shouting loudly.

Chen Xuanlu was originally hostile, and when he saw someone asking, he should agree: "Jiangdong Chen Xuanlu, visit the lord of Jingcheng Mansion." ”

As soon as he heard that someone was looking for him, and he was a powerful character who dared to break into this formation alone, Jing Beihuai was of course so excited that he couldn't be more excited, and then asked him: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"You are the Jingcheng Mansion Master?" Chen Xuanlu didn't seem to believe the little ghost in front of him.

Listening to Chen Xuanlu's questioning, Jing Beihuai was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it.

"You don't believe it, do you?" Jing Beihuai immediately sent an order to the people next to him, and countless arrows and crossbows flew towards him, Rao is Chen Xuanlu had already prepared to go online, and avoided it in a leap.

"Believe it now!" Jing Beihuai's smug look made people want to beat him, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

Chen Xuanlu asked with a smile: "This is your Jingcheng's hospitality!" ”

It turned out that although Jing Beihuai communicated with him to his heart's content, this gate was never opened, and in a stricter sense, it should be called a moat.

"Come up, you're a guest, if you can't come up, it's nothing!" What is a small ghost big person, this is.

Chen Xuanlu was also amused when he heard what he said, and immediately summoned the Iron Wind Eagle from the realm book.

His hands were clasped to the Iron Wind Eagle, and he followed it step by step to the city tower.
