The day when the boat came to the city of Huiji, it was the first day of the ambush, Chun Ge really entered its dormant period as originally said, although my ears were much clearer, but my heart seemed empty, after all, Chun Ge is the only possibility for me to connect with modern society, if this bastard does not wake up for a long time, I will not stay in this strange Spring and Autumn era for the rest of my life.

This is the third time I've been in my *** arms pervert notes, once I lose it, I don't know his importance, and now it's not bad to think about it with Chunge constantly reminding me in my ears.
Huiji City relies on Huiji Mountain to build, the Yue people in the Spring and Autumn Period will show a superb level in architecture, the construction of the city fully takes into account the direction of the river, there are many rivers and streams near Huiji Mountain, the Nanchi River flows around the north of the city and then turns to the northwest, the Pingshui River flows to the east, and also flows to the north at the Jishan Gate, and the two rivers flow into the Great Black River in the north, and flow into the Houhai Sea. The east and west sides of the city wall are built along the river, and the natural river flowing around it becomes the natural moat of Huiji City, and the city is not square and regular, but changes naturally with the mountain and the river.
Fu Qu Tai was very fond of the customs and customs of various places, and exclaimed: "Among the countries I have visited, the city wall of the Yue Dynasty is the most ingeniously designed, has the young master noticed the location of the western city wall?" ”
I looked in the direction he was pointing, but I saw a clear recess in the western wall, and a large area of land was vacated along the river.
"It was deliberately set up to weaken the frontal impact of the flood peaks of the river. ”
I nodded and said, "It's the detention zone!" ”
Fu Qutai was slightly stunned and said: "Among the countries, Wu has the highest shipbuilding skills, and the Yue people have the strongest ability to control water, and their method of building along the river comes from the famous craftsman Zhao Chengzi, Zhao Chengzi once listed a sentence in "Guanzi"...... "He looked at me, as if he wanted to test my knowledge, of course I will not remember what Guan Zi said."
Chu Yaoyao, who was standing aside and listening, said softly: "Because of the natural material and the location, you don't have to follow the rules to help the city!" ”
Fu Qutai praised from the bottom of his heart: "Miss Chu is really a pedantic celestial, even if Kong Zhongni is here, she will definitely be impressed by your knowledge." ”
Chu Yaoyao smiled modestly.
I shook my head and said: "Kong Lao Er said that only villains and women are difficult to raise, he looks down on women in his bones, even if you are thousands of times stronger than him, he will definitely not praise you!" ”
Fu Qutai laughed, it seems that he also remembered Confucius's words, but Chu Yaoyao blushed, with her cleverness, she could naturally perceive that my words were used by Confucius to retaliate against her for stepping on me.
There are six gates in Huiji City, including four land gates, two water gates, and the merchant ships we take enter the Pingjiang River from the canal, and sail into the Huiji City from the water gate on the south side.
It is the first time I have come to this legendary city, although Gou Jian has moved to the new capital, but Huiji City is still the most prosperous place in the Yue Kingdom, in fact, the new capital and Huiji City are not far away, a bit like the old city and the new city in modern society. Gou Jian must also be preparing to separate the administrative center from the commercial center.
The merchant ship traveled to the south water gate of Huiji City, looked up, the city wall was majestic and heavy, and the shadow cast enveloped the entire merchant ship, and my mood became heavy, the huge sluice gate hung high on the top of the water gate, and when there was a war, the sluice would slowly fall, turning the entire Huiji City into an iron bucket. Gou Jian was able to give up this impregnable city, and it must have been carefully thought out to choose a new capital.
Entering the Huiji City, the waterway suddenly became much narrower, and along the river channel into the city for about 200 meters, the front suddenly opened up. Boats of different sizes are docked on the wide water, and vendors carrying all kinds of food and fruits carry canoes to shuttle deftly.
Our merchant ship slowly stopped on the west side of the port, looking at the bustling and noisy scene in front of me, I can hardly believe that this is the national capital of the Yue country, whether from history, or from TV, what I see is a low and depressing scene, it is difficult to see a smile on the faces of the extras, and the people I saw are actually smiling one by one, is it possible that this group of Yue people who are almost dead have no concept of the country's rise and fall in their hearts?
Planks had been erected between the merchant ships and the wharf, and Votthai was the first to go over, and there were many coolies on the shore, and Votthai hired two men to carry our few luggage.
I was the last to walk in port, and the days on the water made my steps a little vain. Lu Yihong looked at me with pity and said, "Little turtle, I've worked hard for you during this time, and when I get to our new home, I want to make up for you." ”
Fu Qutai found four carriages, and the seven of us got into the carriages, and with the crisp sound of the coachman's whip, the eight horses slowly marched towards the center of Huiji City.
The carriage did not have a carriage, because the weather was good, and even the roof was not added, and it looked more like an open-top car in modern society. Huiji City is built on the mountain, the road is undulating, but this did not affect my relaxed and happy mood at all, the printing and dyeing process of the Spring and Autumn Period is not particularly advanced, and it is now summer, most of the costumes of the Yue people are mainly white. Since the defeat of the Yue State by the Wu State, the Yue King Goujian has tried his courage by lying on his salary, and he is a strong soldier, and most of the men of the Yue Kingdom wear samurai clothes and hang long swords from their waists, even ordinary traders and farmers are dressed like this.
In comparison, although the girls of the Yue country are clothed in thorn hairpins, but because of the beautiful landscapes in the south of the Yangtze River, all of them have delicate and fair skin, picturesque eyebrows, and are more gentle and charming.
Most of the houses distributed around the port are ordinary houses, and when you go up to the middle section along the mountain road in the city, you can see that the buildings have gradually become large-scale, and the style is magnificent, and it is already the location of the commercial district of Zhuji City, with shops on both sides of the street, and merchants from all over the world gather here.
Lu Yihong, who was in the same car with me, smiled and said, "We're almost home." ”
I was stunned and said, "Home? ”
Lu Yihong nodded and said, "The last time I came to Huiji, I bought a house in Fugui Lane in front of me, and I think it must have been cleaned up." ”
I secretly said in my heart: "It seems that Lu Yihong is going to live in Huiji for a long time." "That's exactly what I want, and I have enough time to plan for what I'm going to do.
"What are you thinking?" Lu Yihong asked softly.
Only then did I come back to my senses and said with a smile: "I was thinking, wouldn't the property we left in Zhuji be cheap for nothing?" ”
Lu Yihong laughed: "He doesn't have that much courage, besides, he will soon become the city guard of Zhuji as he wishes, and he won't look at that bit of property at all." ”
I was full of doubts and said, "Is Wu Qi, the guard of Zhuji City, just dead?" Will the Vietnamese side continue to pursue the case? ”
Lu Yihong said softly: "What kind of thing is he?" It's just a house slave who doesn't know the height of the sky, and it's his master who wants to kill him, and I don't know how happy he will be to know that he is dead. ”
I nodded, and then thought about it, this Wu Qi is not a big official at all, and in modern society, he is at best a county and department-level cadre, in the turbulent era of the Spring and Autumn Period, killing and being killed almost every day, who will investigate this matter?
The carriage passed through the bustling commercial street and turned east into a relatively quiet alley, which is Fugui Lane. Although Fugui Lane is not wide, the buildings on both sides are high-gate compounds, which must be a concentrated residential area for the wealthy. As a brothel owner, Lu Yihong was able to buy a house here, which shows that her financial resources must be very strong.
We stopped in front of a blue-gray courtyard at the end of the alley, in fact, the color of the buildings in this era is almost all blue-gray, light gray courtyard walls, dark gray eaves tiles, although it is sunny, it also makes people feel a little depressing.
I jumped out of the carriage first, but saw that the gate was also black, decorated with bronze reliefs, and there were two huge stone lions in front of the door.
Without waiting for us to knock on the door, the two doors slowly opened, and four drooping little maids greeted the door under the leadership of a white-haired old man, who came to Lu Yihong and said respectfully: "The old slave Zhai Huang doesn't know that the boss is back, and he is not welcome!" ”
Lu Yihong smiled and said: "Old man Zhai, those cumbersome etiquette will be waived, quickly, help us take the luggage in, and arrange a room for everyone immediately." ”
A handsome little maid came to me and stretched out her hand, wanting to take my luggage and iron sword, looking at her as if she was ten years old at most, I smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll take it myself, you can't take it!" ”
The little maid said, "Young master, I will naturally do these rough jobs!" I had no choice but to hand her the luggage, but I didn't expect her to grab the iron sword with one hand and pick up the luggage with the other, and walk into the hospital with ease.
I was dumbfounded, the iron sword that Ou Yezi gave me alone was about fifty catties, this little girl was weak and couldn't help but hold it in her hand like nothing, she must be a martial arts master.
