Chapter 220: Shangfang Forbidden Land

The northern suburbs of Xianyang, Daqin Shangfang!

The Great Qin Shangfang with a radius of more than 20 miles gathered nearly 500,000 of the most outstanding and top craftsmen in China in the pre-Qin era. These 500,000 people can be said to be the most valuable talents in Daqin and even in the entire land of China.

Along the way, every Shangfang craftsman, whether it is the Qin people, the Han people, the Chu people, the Zhao people, or the Yan people, what they see in their eyes is no longer the dead silence that they can't see the slightest bit of life as before, but the color of infinite vitality as if they have been reborn.

The clothes are no longer as tattered as before, and the huge Shangfang has become much cleaner and tidier. Rows of buildings stand neatly in the original places where waste was piled up all over Shangfang.

In just four months, Shangfang has been very different from the Shangfang that Hu Hai saw for the first time. Every day, Shangfang is changing. And this change is also gathering the hearts of every craftsman from all over the world little by little.

For the first time, they had a yearning for Daqin and Qin.

All this was given by the young heroic emperor who rode his horse in front of him. Whenever a craftsman met Hu Hai and his party on the road, these craftsmen would spontaneously stand on one side, looking at the young emperor in a black robe with fiery eyes.

This fiery is a heartfelt sense of gratitude and reverence.

Daqin Shangfang sits in the north and faces south.

A month ago, the northernmost piece of open space near Kitasaka was notified to the craftsmen of all levels of Shangfang that this place hidden in the deepest part of Shangfang was listed as a forbidden place in Shangfang, and no one was allowed to approach this area within a radius of one mile.

Originally, after the order was issued, the workshops within a mile around this area were immediately relocated to other places in Shangfang by all the soldiers of the Caishi battalion guarding the perimeter of Shangfang in just seven days.

This two-mile-long dead place is unusually unique in the busy Shangfang.

However, this fast place did not fall silent for too long, and after all the surrounding workshops moved out, Shangfang Chengtian Ren led the dragon guards of more than 1,000 people around the emperor to start the hard work of ramming the earth wall.

Under the command of Shangfang Cheng Tianren, the dead soldiers of the Dragon Guard, who numbered less than 2,000 people, rammed out a thick earthen wall that was more than five miles high and two zhang high in just twenty days. If it weren't for the fact that a few rains in the middle hindered the construction period, Tian Ren believed that under his command, in the hands of these dragon guards who didn't know what laziness was, he was afraid that he would be able to complete this earthen wall in a few days.

After this thick earthen wall wrapped up a large piece of open space within a radius, the more than 1,000 dragon guards left 500 people to guard outside the earthen wall, and the remaining less than 1,000 dragon guards followed Tian Ren into the wall and continued to "crackle" every day.

Except for Tian Ren, no one in the entire Shangfang knew what Tian Ren was doing with these dragon guards. And what is this piece of this circle for? Even Tian Ren was only doing what the emperor was asking for, and he didn't know what the emperor was doing by making such a place so secret.

Three days ago, a large number of well-covered box carts entered Shangfang, and then entered the forbidden land of Shangfang, which was surrounded by a wall, and never came out again.

What the Shangfang craftsmen didn't expect was that when the emperor came today, he also entered the forbidden land directly.

In the forbidden land of Shangfang.

Hundreds of yellow-skinned, unclothed, unkempt beggar-like people shivered together. Around them, there were nearly a thousand dragon guards who had been working as coolies for a month, holding shiny blades in the middle.

As soon as Hu Hai entered this forbidden land, he was so smoked by the pungent and rancid smell that filled the air that he almost fainted.

This smell emanated from the hundreds of "beggars" who were surrounded by the dragon guards.

However, the dragon guards, who were far closer to these "beggars" than Hu Hai, did not seem to smell the pungent stench at all. Motionless, staring at these hundreds of "beggars" who barely had the slightest power to resist.

More than 100 dragon guards guarding Hu Hai's side were the first to enter this wall and occupy important places.

More than a thousand dragon guards gathered around the "beggars" saw Hu Hai come in, put away the sharp blades in their hands with a brush, and knelt on one knee in silence.

The hundreds of "beggars" who were trembling in the encirclement of the dragon guards who were originally facing away from Hu Hai saw these powerful men who could hardly see their expressions and didn't seem to see a little living person saluting on one knee in the direction of the gate, and looked at Hu Hai in surprise.

"Spare your life!"

"I don't dare anymore!"

…… Seeing Hu Hai in a luxurious brocade robe, these "beggars" immediately knew that the person in charge had come, and they didn't know who spoke first, and suddenly the hundreds of beggars cried and shouted first.

"Presumptuous!"

Long Jiao and Long Mei, who were following Hu Hai's side, saw that these people seemed to be about to rush towards the emperor, and pulled out the long sword at their waists. Jiao scolded in a loud voice.

"Huh!"

The sound of blades coming out of their sheaths.

More than 100 dragon guards who followed Hu Hai drew their sharp blades and surrounded Hu Hai in the middle.

The snow-white blades glowed coldly in the sunlight. Looking at the big men who were holding sharp blades around the young man in the Chinese robe, these people knew that as long as they took another step forward, they were afraid that this sharp blade would fall on their heads and stab into their bodies without hesitation.

Hundreds of beggars suddenly weakened their legs in fright, and they fell to the ground and kowtowed.

The air was filled with a pungent, rancid smell.

Hu Hai frowned slightly, waved his hand, and all the dragon guards retreated to the side, but Long Jiao and Long Mei were still holding long swords and staring down at the hundreds of "beggars" who were basically unstable on their feet.

Hu Hai glanced at Tian Ren unhappily.

These were all Fang Shi who were captured by Long Wei from Xianyang Prison and all over Guanzhong. It stands to reason that these people have been in Shangfang for three days, but they didn't expect that it seemed that Tian Ren didn't care about their lives or deaths at all, and he didn't even care about bathing and changing clothes.

Tian Ren, who was standing beside Hu Hai, naturally saw the emperor's displeased eyes, and secretly complained in his heart. He didn't know what the emperor was going to do with these monks, and even built a cage for them in Shangfang with dragon guards specially for these monks, of course, this place the size of a few miles surrounded by a rammed earth wall did look like a cage.

"Tian Aiqing, let's take these people to bathe, change into clean clothes, eat and drink enough, and then come to see me."

Hu Hai also knew that he was afraid that Tian Ren would not understand what he wanted to do to arrest these alchemists to come to Shangfang, so he didn't dare to be too good to these alchemists. After all, these monks had deceived the First Emperor into looking for the elixir of immortality for more than ten years, and as a result, Xu Fu ran away directly with the big ship that Great Qin had built with countless money and grain.

Now that the little emperor has succeeded to the throne, he naturally wants to kill these hateful scholars who bully the king.

"Your Majesty obeys!"

From the emperor's words, Tian Ren heard that the emperor didn't seem to want to kill these monks, and hurriedly responded.

By the time these monks who had been popular in the pre-Qin era for hundreds of years had eaten and drunk enough and changed into clean clothes, it was already an hour later.

When these hundreds of scholars were bathing and eating, Hu Hai walked around all the forbidden places in this radius. Everything was built as he wanted it to. Hu Hai was very satisfied.

After these baths and meals, there were finally hundreds of people who looked like people, looked at the young man in the Chinese robe sitting on the big chair, bowed in unison and said, "I've seen the little adult." ”

They are not stupid, they can come and go in and out of this Shangfang at will, they can establish a forbidden place in Shangfang, they can make Shangfang stand on the side, and there are countless elite guards, they are naturally the big men of Great Qin.

I just don't know which one.

"Presumptuous! Your Majesty......"

Hu Hai waved his hand to interrupt Long Jiao's reprimand, looked at the hundreds of Fangshi who were panicked because of Long Jiao's word "Your Majesty", and said lightly: "You don't have to be afraid. I have done everything possible to capture you in this Xianyang, and I have built such a place for you, and I will definitely not kill you easily. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The organic spirit hurriedly crawled on the ground and climbed up the pole.

Looking at the chaotic and prostrate monks who were at least half a hundred years old, Hu Hai smiled lightly. He clearly saw that many of these people had already seen their eyes rolling after hearing that they were emperors and that they would not kill them. Some people have even shouted that they have a long way to dedicate to the emperor.

For more than 100 years, these monks have been like rats, with their sharp teeth, either the aphrodisiac technique in the room, or the method of long voice, etc., parasitic in the vassal states.

Do they think I need that aphrodisiac or immortality too?

A hint of coldness flashed in Hu Hai's eyes.

"Enough! I said that I won't kill you and others now, but it doesn't mean that I won't kill you and others. Hu Hai said coldly.

Hundreds of chattering Fang Shi were suddenly silent.

It seems that things are not what they think.

Did the legendary faint Emperor II really become wiser?

"Each and every one of you, deceive the king. It's already a pity to die! I don't dare to be interested in the techniques you are talking about, the methods of immortality. If anyone dares to deceive the public, they will be killed immediately! ”

These people are really not sorry to die, and at this time, they can't see the situation clearly, and they still mention to themselves what kind of method of immortality.

"And that Xu Fu, don't think that I can't find him if I hide there, hmph, sooner or later, I will have to arrest the old god stick that cost me countless money and food in Daqin, and kill the nine clans!"

Hu Hai's eyes stared coldly at the hundreds of monks who were prostrate on the ground, and said murderously.

The monks who are more than half a hundred years old are as quiet as a cicada, and their intuition is cold behind them. Apparently the little emperor was not joking. It's just that what kind of place is this little one? How did Your Majesty know that Xu Fu had hid in that little book?

Hu Hai naturally didn't care if these people knew or not. Sometimes he doesn't bother to explain when he says it. This is the Emperor!

"Today, I have summoned you, not to kill you, but you must also do something for me. If you do a good job, I will reward you. Can't do it well. Hum! ”
