Chapter 292: Business as Usual (Second Update)

This black giant city is Xianyang, the imperial capital of the Great Qin Empire——!

This is the largest city in the world, and it has advantages that no other city can match. Because it is the only imperial capital in the world, it has the domineering and iron blood of the old Qin people in its bones.

From a distance, the castle can only be seen in a faint silhouette. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the castle is cut out of a giant black beast.

Since the change of Shang Dynasty, this Xianyang Xiongcheng has been standing on the Guanlong Plain. At the same time, this majestic city witnessed the growth of the Qin state from a kingdom to an empire.

……

As the horses of the black-clothed knights galloped, it was gradually seen that there were black-clothed warriors swimming on the arrow tower of the east gate with their backs to the sunset, and a white Qin character was written on the black banner that hunted and flew.

……

The imperial capital of the Great Qin Empire, the defense is the best in the world!

Even today's heavily defended Hangu Pass, as well as Pengcheng's strong defense, with layers of barriers, are not as good as Hangu Pass.

When Shang Jun built the new capital Xianyang, all of them were built with large stone strips, and the city wall was more than three zhang higher than the ordinary city wall, and even the arrow tower was also built of stone slabs.

It can be said that it is very strong, that is, there is not an inch of wood in the external defense structure of the entire castle, and ordinary fire attacks are useless and cannot damage the city wall in the slightest.

In the same way, the walls and turrets of this giant city were all thickly painted with black mountain paint, black and smooth, not only fierce and terrifying, but also the sneak attackers of the city were absolutely helpless.

It can be said that Xianyang, the Great Qin Empire, is definitely the most majestic and strong city in the world. As long as there are 30,000 troops to defend it, 100,000 troops can't get close to half a minute.

In particular, the Great Qin Empire is well-equipped, and the benefits of the Qin crossbow are unique in the world, and the precautions are extremely strict.

The general of the city gate shouted: "Three trumpets, pedestrians enter the city, and each of them returns home——! ”

"Doodoo ——!"

In this twilight, the horn of the cow horn was already blowing on the high city head, and the originally sparse pedestrians outside the city gate had quickened their pace.

They all knew that after three trumpet sounds, the gate of Xianyang would be rumbled shut.

The black-clothed knight, who was also aware of this, did not slow down in the slightest, and reached out and felt a two-foot-long golden arrow in his bosom and raised it high.

Although it was evening, the golden arrow that grew up still drew a shining arc on the horse because of the sunset.

"The golden arrow messenger has arrived, and the pedestrians dodge!" The general of the city gate raised his sword and shouted, the two columns of armor soldiers stood solemnly, and the pedestrians inside and outside the city gate quickly flashed by the roadside.

The black knight held aloft the golden arrow and galloped into the city. He didn't care about all the personnel of Xianyang City Defense, and he only had one thought in his mind at this moment.

Quickly enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and convey the order of Emperor Hu Hai of Qin!

He knew that he could die, but this order of Emperor Hu Hai of Qin had to be conveyed. It is related to the future of the Great Qin Empire, and there must be no mistakes.

In Xianyang City, the street market is prosperous and splendid, and in the night market, there are pedestrians in a hurry, as the world's largest metropolis, Xianyang City lives up to its name.

The shops are lit up and the streets are lined with pedestrians. Under the faint flickering lights, pedestrians can be seen walking slowly, and sometimes there are chariots hurrying through the street.

……

However, on this short street leading directly to the imperial city of Xianyang, there is not a single bronze chariot or a richly dressed figure.

The people in front of the shop were engaged in simple transactions, or money and goods, or bartering, all in silence, without any bargaining disputes.

Under the Qin law, the old Qin people rarely had disputes. Because in the strict Qin law, there is strong supervision over the behavior and habits of the old Qin people.

The streets of Dacheng are long, and all the streets and alleys are quiet and orderly. Everything in Xianyang City is quiet, and neither the pedestrians nor the city government office are in a bit panicked.

All of this silently indicates that this majestic giant city has experienced countless stormy seas and has long since lost its knowledge of fear.

When the golden arrow messenger galloped through the street, the horse did not neigh, the man was silent, and not a pedestrian moved. It just quickly dodged away, opening a passage for the arrow messenger to pass.

In an instant, the black-clothed fast horse quickly approached the Prime Minister's Mansion. The golden arrow messenger suddenly reined in his horse, and the horse stood and neighed with his head held high.

The armor soldier in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion arched his hand and said loudly: "By Your Majesty's order, I ask to see the Prime Minister——! ”

With a fall, the man in black jumped off his horse, shook his hand and handed the reins to the armorer, and hurried straight into the mansion.

The sound of hurried and heavy footsteps came from the courtyard, and the white-haired old man was immediately alert and immediately walked down the steps. I saw the black-clothed messenger raise the arrow in his hand.

The white-haired old man looked calm and unhurried, expressionless, as if there was no sound: "Prime Minister, the golden arrow messenger has arrived——! ”

With the sound of "dang", it seemed that something had fallen in the study, only to hear a rush of footsteps, and Ziying had already walked out quickly.

He knew in his heart that the arrival of the Jin Ling Arrow Messenger must be an order from Emperor Hu Hai of Qin. The situation of Emperor Hu Hai of Qin was related to the decision of the court of the Great Qin Empire, and he had to pay attention to it.

The black-clothed messenger was dusty, sweating profusely and soaking his clothes, his chest rising and falling rapidly. When he saw Ziying coming in, he hurriedly bowed solemnly: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty ......"

Seeing this scene, Ziying shook her hand with difficulty: "Don't open your mouth yet." He turned around and ordered: "Old man, hot wine, hurry up!" ”

He knew in his heart that the golden arrow messenger was quick to whip up, and he came non-stop, overworked for a long time, coupled with the loss of water in his body.

At this time, hot wine must be used to alleviate one or two, otherwise this person will be useless from now on.

At the end of the words, the old man had already brought a copper basin of slightly steaming rice wine. The man in black looked slightly stunned, suddenly held the copper basin, and drank it dry in one go.

A pot of hot wine made the golden arrow's face ruddy and shiny. He looked at Ziying and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty has an order: everything is as usual in Xianyang!" ”

……

After listening to the messenger, Ziying did not speak for a long time, nor even moved, but stared at the deep night outside the window, and was silent for a long time.

"Prime Minister?" Huang Yan was a little panicked when he saw the silent child, and couldn't help but scream softly.

Ziying paced silently, and after turning around a few times, she suddenly asked, "How is the situation in Hedong County?" How is Your Majesty safe? ”

Hearing this, Huang Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly bowed deeply to Ziying, solemnly: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty has broken through Pingyang and captured Wei Wangbao alive." ”

"The 70,000 troops in the direction of Daliang are approaching, and the 80,000 troops in the direction of Taiyuan are eyeing the party. At the same time, Long Ji came with an army. ”

"Your Majesty made an alliance with Wei Wengong's blood, withdrew from Pingyang, occupied Nanhedong County, killed Wei Wang Leopard and supported Wei Wen as king, and staged a drama of changing the king of Western Wei."
