Two hundred miles to the south, there is a large city.

The nearly four-zhang high city wall is made of bluestone and rammed earth, and it looks extremely majestic.

A mighty river comes from the northeast, winds its way around the southeast of the city and goes south.

At this time, at ten o'clock in the evening, the sky was getting dark, and with a low sound of horns sounding on the castle tower, the four city gates were closed one after another, and at the same time, there were pine torches lit on the castle tower.

Wancheng, the seat of Nanyang County.

According to the law of Daqin, in the summer and in the winter, the city must enter a defensive state, collect the suspension bridge and close the city gate, and there are soldiers in the city to start patrolling, officially entering the curfew.

But at this time, it is no longer the period of hegemony among the countries, and the world has now entered a state of great unification, so the curfew has become very lax, as long as it is not an open fire to rob the house, the patrolling soldiers will not obstruct and interfere.

Since it is the county seat of Nanyang, the weather inside and outside the city is naturally different from the mountain towns, and it is also very different from the county seat of Pheasant County, not only the city wall is much taller and more majestic, but the scale of the city has also expanded several times.

Outside the city, large tracts of farmland are connected to each other, and the wheat seedlings in the fields fluctuate with the wind, and the wheat ears have turned yellow and have entered a mature state.

Within dozens of miles of farmland, there are green trees, villages are not far from each other, and thousands of houses are scattered together, and the sound of chickens and dogs is deaf.

On the banks of the river that surrounds the city, hundreds of copper and iron workshops are densely gathered, and all around are low, simple grass huts, which are inhabited by a large number of homeless slaves without household registration.

Wancheng is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, is the most central location in China, north of Luoyang, south to Jingxiang, west to Xianyang, east to Shangqiu, so it belongs to the absolute center in traffic, is the throat of the south to the north.

In order to strengthen the management and rule, Qin Shi Huang moved the unscrupulous people of the Six Kingdoms to Nanyang, so that the wealthy people of the Six Kingdoms and merchants and handicraftsmen who were good at business gathered here, so that not only agriculture was developed, but also commerce was extremely developed, especially copper casting and iron smelting, and it became the center of heavy industry in Daqin.

The population in Wancheng is more dense, the population is not less than 100,000, in addition to the criss-crossing central two main streets, the large and small streets are densely packed, all kinds of earth, stone, bamboo and wood dwellings are next to each other, the southeast, northwest and northwest are the same as later generations, according to different types of work gathered together to form different groups of large and small, and the architectural style is also slightly different.

There are many handicraftsmen in the west of the city, and most of the people gathered here are producers and operators of bamboo, wood, linen and pottery, so the houses are mainly bamboo and wood.

The eastern part of the city is mainly based on grain and meat and vegetables, and the wealthy families near Wancheng are gathered, so every household is a wooden and stone house with a small courtyard.

The north of the city is crowded with merchants from the north and south, and there is an endless stream of oxen, horses, and wagons, so the houses are relatively large, and there are even a large number of inns and restaurants that provide accommodation and food.

The south of the city is the most prosperous, where not only a large number of wealthy people from the six countries and salt and iron merchants who have moved over, but also a large number of scholars and Confucian scholars who rely on these rich people to live, and they are inseparable from the rich and interdependent.

In this day and age, reading is definitely affordable for the rich.

And these salt and iron merchants and rich people happen to be the type of rich people who are stupid, they need their children to get a good education and learn advanced cultural knowledge, so they will provide for these scholars and Confucian scholars, and at the same time, they also need the scholars and Confucian scholars to give them advice and even collude with the government, and these scholars and Confucian scholars also do what they like, use what they have learned to serve the rich merchants, in exchange for their own superior life.

And these scholars and Confucian scholars are similar to the well-known big Vs of later generations, using their cultural knowledge to constantly raise their flags and shout for the rich businessmen who provide them with a superior life.

Therefore, the south of the city is close to the river, and there are tall and spacious houses lined up with bright lights, and there is a faint sound of laughter and orchestral strings.

Although it was curfew, the streets were still full of people.

In a small dark alley, a girl in a light blue linen skirt hid by the wall and looked left and right a few times, and swaggered out after finding no one.

The girl's elf is eccentric, looking left and right and muttering while pouting.

"Hmph, you want me to go back to Xianyang, and you want me to get married, but there is no door!"

"And that stinky guy, he dares to use my sword to repair the latrine, the next time I meet you, it will definitely make you look good......"

The girl was like a little bastard, muttering as she scurried along the criss-crossing streets, and after a few turns she found herself lost.

Surrounded by low thatched huts made of bamboo and wood, there were no lights or people, and a few coughs and scolding were occasionally heard in the darkness, and a few barking dogs were heard.

The girl walked more and more slowly, although it was a hot summer night, but she still felt that she was cold and goosebumps came out, and she was afraid to walk slowly along a narrow path for a short time, and finally found that it was a dead end, just as she was about to turn around and exit, suddenly a low voice came out of a small courtyard in the darkness.

"I heard no, a few days ago, there was an apostle from the Guixu School from Pheasant County, saying that he saw the disciples of the immortal family in the Funiu Mountain, and asked for a few cans of health fairy tea, and today he opened a fairy tea party in Nanyang College......

"Hey~, what kind of immortal tea, the Guixu School doesn't do business all day long, looking for elixir elixir everywhere but doesn't know how to realize itself, if the avenue is so simple, why should the master send me out of the mountain to walk!"

"What Senior Brother said is extremely true, but since they are so conclusive, why don't I wait to take a look, not to mention that if this fairy tea is really magical, I can also get some back and let Shizun see it!"

"Well, junior brother is reasonable, let's go and have a look!"

With a creak, under the hazy night, two men came out of a small courtyard next to them hand in hand, covered the courtyard door and walked out along the alley.

Seeing that the two of them walked out of sight, a petite figure in the shadow of the alley slowly revealed, and then followed the two of them out.

The two people in front of them held hands very closely, and the road slowly became more open under the bends, and there were more and more houses on both sides of the street, and gradually the lights were turned on, and passers-by came and went.

"Huh~, what a broken place!" The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, stood in place and thought for a while and prepared to go back, but as soon as she remembered the sound of the conversation between the two men just now, she hesitated slightly and chased after the two men, and then hung forward from a distance of seven or eight meters, and soon came to the south of the city along the central avenue.

The two people in front walked straight into a courtyard, and the girl followed in a few steps, almost less than three meters away from the two people.
