Chapter 277: Entering the City

Kyoto Prefecture stretched out under the walls of the city, and as far as the eye could see, there were at least tens of thousands of people lining up in front of the gates.

These queues are not very long, and they are basically all around a few hundred people.

In order to ensure the efficiency of entering and exiting the city, so as not to be overly congested, under the magnificent city wall, there will be a city gate basically every 100 meters or so.

Of course, these gates are specially used for people to pass through every day, and in the event of a war, they can be quickly and completely blocked in the shortest possible time, and will never become a hole in the defense of the city wall.

In the history of the Daqian Dynasty, Kyoto Prefecture has experienced three crises since the day it was built.

But in those three crises, no matter how powerful the attacking side had, it never shook this majestic city under heaven, and no one even managed to break into the city walls.

As a result, despite the large number of gates for daily access, no one should worry about the defense of the entire city.

Historical experience tells us that the initial collapse of truly powerful beings often comes from within, and it has little to do with external pressure.

Therefore, if you go outside, you must first settle inside...... Strictly speaking, this is a very reasonable statement.

Xia Fan and Ye were still in one of the queues, and along with the others in the queue, they slowly walked towards the city gate.

At each city gate, there is a small team, a total of twenty guards, but basically these guards exist only to maintain the order of entering the city and avoid chaos, no soldier will check who the people entering the city are, or what they are carrying.

Not to mention the entrance fee that other cities basically charge, even if it is a road guide that should be carried with you as a rule, no one here will want to check it.

Therefore, the order of entering the city gate is maintained in good condition, and the efficiency of passage is always extremely high, although there are many people who come from all over the city to enter the city and want to leave the city, but with the support of such efficiency, the number of people piled up under the city gate has always remained relatively low.

When Ye still followed behind Xia Fan and walked into the city wall, the whole person still couldn't believe that the process of entering the city would be so simple.

"They...... They didn't even check anything? ”

Ye was still held by Xia Fan, and with the strength of Xia Fan's pull, he walked towards the nearest post station in the city gate, and opened his mouth as he walked.

"Why check? The flow of people in and out of the city every day is so huge, if you have to check those road guides and other things one by one, this Kyoto Prefecture ...... I'm afraid I'm going to fall into paralysis a long time ago. ”

Xia Fan said disappreciatively.

"Yes...... But if they don't check anything, aren't they afraid of problems? ”

Listening to Xia Fan's explanation, Ye was still a little unacceptable.

"What could go wrong? You have to understand that this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the dynasty. The most powerful martial cultivators of the entire Daqian Dynasty, six or seven out of ten, lived in this city. The most powerful Imperial Forest Army of the dynasty and the most elite county soldiers of Tianhe County are waiting outside this city. If you want to find the safest place in the territory of the dynasty, then it must be Kyoto Prefecture, there is no one. And as the capital of a country, it is also necessary to put on a sufficiently enlightened attitude, which is the calmness of being a big country and a strong country. It is also the pride and backbone of all the people of the whole country. ”

Xia Fan was already pulling Ye Yi into the post station as he spoke.

The size of Kyoto Prefecture is so impressive that if you just rely on your own legs, it will be difficult for you to walk from one end of the city to the other at the speed of an ordinary person.

Therefore, in Kyoto Prefecture, the trade of post houses is very popular.

In particular, those who come from other places will basically choose to rent a horse-drawn carriage from the post station as a means of transportation after entering Kyoto Prefecture.

As a result, many of the short-distance post stations in Kyoto Prefecture are located not far from the gates, and they are frequented by a steady stream of people all year round.

Xia Fan rented an ordinary carriage from the post station with some broken silver, and the coachman rationed by the post station would send them to the destination they wanted to go.

Of course, if the distance is too far, Xia Fan still needs to pay some extra silver.

When Xia Fan and Ye still got into the carriage and began to head towards the city of Kyoto Prefecture, two inconspicuous men came to the outside of Kyoto Prefecture and stood in one of the queues to enter the city.

"Big brother, I always feel ...... If we just enter Kyoto Prefecture like this, it's too dangerous, right? ”

Of the two men, the one who looked to be relatively younger spoke with some concern.

"In the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty, we only found a violent reaction fluctuation. It used to be in the scope of Dongshan County, but now, it is in Tianhe County. Of the thirty-two cities in Dongshan County, we are short of manpower, so we only prioritize a few of them for investigation and take action against the most suspicious families. How...... Among them, two groups of people failed in their actions, and the people who attacked the Xia family in Qingyang City were all wiped out, and not even one person escaped alive. ”

The older man, with a calm face, did not answer his companion's inquiry, but said something else.

"I know this, but it's a pity...... If it weren't for the city lord of Qingyang City who stabbed the matter to the king of Dongshan County, and the king of Dongshan County actually reported the matter directly to the case of Emperor Daqian without much hesitation, causing the entire Daqian Dynasty to notice this matter in secret so quickly, we don't have to dodge like this, act carefully. But what does this have to do with our visit to Kyoto? ”

The young man sighed, and after saying it very unpleasantly, he scratched his head and continued to ask.

"I'm here to tell you that since the officials of the Daqian Dynasty have noticed us, then we are the same whether we come to Kyoto Prefecture or not, and in my opinion, the current Dongshan County is even more dangerous than Kyoto Prefecture! As far as I know, there is a group of other people who are with us who have already found something in another country that they are looking for, so we have to hurry...... Otherwise, thunder and fury will fall from above, and you and I will die without a place to be buried! ”

The older man said in a serious tone.

The young man couldn't help but shrink his neck, his voice instinctively weakened, but he still defended: "But we can only be sure that the thing is in Tianhe County, and we can't be sure that the thing is in this Kyoto Prefecture." Why don't you look elsewhere first? This Kyoto Furi ...... It is said that there is an old monster that has stepped into the realm of saints with half a foot......"

"Because in terms of probability, in the entire Tianhe County, it is naturally the most likely that there is such a thing in Kyoto Prefecture."

"Okay......"
