Chapter 28, Jingshi

A few days later, when the tall walls of the outer city of Jingshi appeared in view, Liu Jin finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Originally, it was a very happy thing to come to Jingshi to play, and it was exciting to be able to see the capital of this huge Ming Empire and appreciate its prosperity and liveliness.

However, there is only about 300 kilometers between Changli County, Yongping Prefecture and Jingshi, and in the future, it will take one hour to take the high-speed rail, and it will take four or five hours to drive by yourself.

However, in ancient times when the traffic was extremely inconvenient, when going out was basically by walking, the 300-kilometer journey, Liu Jin, Qin Zhihe, Li Xiting, and Xie Kui walked hard for several days.

Walking dozens of miles every day, Liu Jin's feet were blistered, plus he slept in the wind and food along the way, after a few days, the whole person felt extremely tired, and his intestines were remorseful.

"If I knew this was the case, it would be better to live a leisurely life at home, why bother to suffer this sin."

was about to arrive in Jingshi, but Liu Jin did not have the slightest joy, came to the side of the official road to find a stone, sat down heavily, and looked at the tall city wall in the distance, Liu Jin thought so.

"Brother Liu, this is about to arrive in the capital, there is no need to rest anymore, go into the city in one breath, this Jingshi is the most prosperous city in the world, far from being comparable to our Changli County, keep your eyes dazzling."

Contrary to Liu Jin, Qin Zhihe, Li Xiting, and Xie Kui were in good spirits, and after walking for several days, they were finally about to arrive in the capital.

"I've never been to the capital, this city wall is really high, it deserves to be the first city in the world!"

Li Xiting looked at the tall city wall lying across the ground in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is naturally majestic and extraordinary."

Xie Kui also said in a voice.

"You guys go first, I'll take a break, I really can't walk."

Liu Jin looked at the city wall in the distance, rubbed his legs, to be honest, how can this ancient city be compared with the cities of later generations, that is, to be fresh, these few days have already worn out Liu Jin's freshness, but unlike a few of them, they can't wait to enter the city.

"In that case, Brother Liu, you can rest for a while, and the three of us will go to the city first, and then we will gather in the Zhuangyuan Building."

Qin Zhihe looked at Liu Jin, who looked like a salted fish, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he was a little anxious to enter the city, so he didn't plan to wait for Liu Jin.

"It's okay, Brother Qin, Brother Li, Brother Xie, you go now, I'll follow later."

Liu Jin's original purpose was to come to the capital to have a fun and see the prosperity of the capital, and he didn't want to go to any poetry meeting or anything like that with the three of them.

"Then let's go first, you have to hurry, the gate of this capital will be closed as soon as sunset, if you don't enter the city before sunset, then you will have to spend the night outside."

Qin Zhihe looked at Liu Jin, took the lead and walked towards the capital, and kindly reminded him before leaving.

"Thank you, Brother Qin, for reminding me, I'll pay attention."

Arching his hand with the other party, Liu Jin still had no intention of moving, and continued to sit on the stone to rest.

Soon, Qin Zhihe, Li Xiting, and Xie Kui gradually walked away.

"Brother Jin, it's almost time for us to go, right?"

Liu Jin's follower, Zhao Erhu was also very excited at this time, it was really right to follow Liu Jin, this time he actually had the opportunity to come to Jingshi to play, if he hadn't been Liu Jin's little follower, he probably wouldn't have come here once in his life.

So when he thought of entering the capital soon, appreciating the prosperity of the capital, and seeing the charm of the first city in the world, he was also very excited and excited, and the tiredness of a few days of traveling and driving disappeared cleanly.

Liu Jin sat on the stone to rest, but he looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the city wall and pipes in the distance, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

"You're not tired at all, are you?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhao Erhu, and the salute of the two was carried by Zhao Erhu.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all, isn't it just walking, what's so tired, working in the field is much more tiring than this."

Zhao Erhu said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go, go in early, find an inn, and have a good rest."

Liu Jin looked at Zhao Erhu, then looked at the capital in the distance, and reluctantly got up again and walked towards the capital.

An hour later, Liu Jin finally arrived at the foot of the gate of the capital, the sun was setting, and he was about to go down the mountain, and he couldn't help but sigh again in his heart: "Wangshan ran a dead horse, it seems that it is not far, and it has walked for 2 hours." ”

"This should be Yongdingmen."

Come to the foot of the city wall, look up, suddenly feel that the city wall is still quite tall, in the ancient times when there is no construction machinery, the construction of the city wall up to more than 20 meters, is definitely a very huge project.

Such a tall city wall was definitely the most difficult to conquer in ancient times, and it was definitely not an easy thing to capture such a tall city by relying only on flesh and blood.

Entering the capital very smoothly, Liu Jin also began to appreciate this ancient city with great interest.

The buildings in the city are generally not high, most of them are two-story buildings, a few buildings will be relatively high, there are four or five floors, more than ten or twenty meters high, the road is more spacious, but also relatively tidy, the planning is very neat, dotted, the color of the building is basically gray, a bit of black and white TV taste.

At this time, it was already a cold winter October, and it was at the beginning of the Xiaoice period, and it snowed heavily a few days ago, and the snow was melting these days, the temperature was very low, and the cold wind howled, so that the pedestrians on the road could not help but speed up their pace.

In addition, the sun is about to set, and the pedestrians on the road are even more hurried, most of them are walking, a few are riding horses, sitting in sedan chairs, and the horseback riders are not rampage on the road as shown on TV.

"It's similar to some ancient city-style tourist towns, but this style is similar to the architectural style in Korean costume dramas, no wonder some people say that the Tang Dynasty culture is in Japan, and the Ming Dynasty culture is in South Korea, and this architectural style is really in a mold."

Liu Jin looked at the capital of this era, and his mind also remembered some ancient cities that he saw when he traveled to Korea in later generations, and there was almost no big difference.

"That's it, find an inn to rest first, and come back tomorrow to have a good look."

Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun and touching his belly, Liu Jin walked towards an inn.
