Chapter Twenty-Six: Jingzhao Mansion, Sweet Water Well

"Such a bullish ......" Qin Fan's eyes were worth it.

Fan Yixian said: "This treasure map is actually not a treasure map but a notepad, but it records information about the Golden Fire Cavalry, and you may be able to find the secret of the disappeared Golden Fire Cavalry by following the guidance of the notepad." ”

"And where is the location of this guidance?"

Fan Yixian stood up and pointed to the southwest and said, "It's in Jingzhao Mansion 1,400 miles away!" ”

1,400 miles......

Qin Fan was a little hesitant, it was too far away, the current road was not easy to walk, he could run sixty miles at most in an hour, but the horses would be weak after holding on for half an hour at most. So it takes two days to arrive, not counting the delay in Jingzhao Mansion, that is, four days back and forth, although the Golden Fire Cavalry is very attractive, but in case the hometown is taken away, wouldn't it be a waste?

Qin Fan took back the treasure map, carefully calculated, and finally decided to go south to fight, he remembered that the Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry of the Jin Soldiers was so powerful, if he wanted to become bigger and stronger in the territory of the Jin Dynasty in the future, he would have to fight with the system forces, and if the cavalry team was not strong, it would be a big delay.

Although there is no limit to the population refresh, it takes time for troops to train.

"Sir, I won't bother you to preach more during this time, let my people work hard, don't think about it."

As a ninth-order scribe, Fan Yixian can continue to increase his loyalty by twenty points, and his influence is capped at 20,000 people. As long as he stays in Tianya Village, the loyalty of all NPCs can be increased to more than eighty points, greatly reducing the chance of rebellion.

If Qin Fan wants to leave, he will have to wait until all the population caps have been trained in the troops.

A day later, the training of the troops was completed, Yue Ziyun led a thousand cavalry, five hundred sword and shield soldiers, and five hundred crossbow mixed soldiers to guard Shushui Town, while Tianya Town was guarded by two fifth-order generals and the remaining 1,000 infantry.

When she set off, Mu Qingyao was worried about Qin Fan's safety and wanted to go with her, but Qin Fan had no choice but to agree. He took Ji Bing and Li Yiyi, a young man under the age of eighteen, and a group of four people went south along the post road.

In fact, Qin Fan's estimate of the situation is not so bad, the post roads along the Yanyan Road are in good condition, and the post stations are dense, Qin Fan changes horses every time he goes to a post station all the way, but it is really expensive enough to change a single horse of twenty silver coins.

Qin Fan met a lot of players along the way, and many of them seemed to go to Jingzhao Mansion in Xi'an, which was the ancient capital of the pre-Qin Dynasty and the capital of several later dynasties.

Qin Fan also saw that the Jin soldiers had extremely strict control over densely populated areas, and from time to time he could see a large group of well-armed cavalry patrolling on the post road, and occasionally he could see lord players with their own small teams blocking the road and looting or something.

In a day and a half, Qin Fan and the four finally arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, although it was called Jingzhaofu in the Jin Dynasty, but the people here were still used to calling it Chang'an.

This thousand-year-old city that has experienced the capital of thirteen dynasties has been perfectly restored in the game, with magnificent city walls, rich historical and cultural landscapes, and those intricately built and classical and elegant buildings on the city walls, all of which show the glory that this city once had.

How many literati and writers have lingered here, leaving countless poems and songs that have been praised for Chang'an through the ages! Qin Fan still remembers the poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Zhaolin that described the ancient meaning of Chang'an's prosperous and wealthy Chang'an: Chang'an Avenue is narrow and sloping, and the green ox and white horse are seven incense cars. The jade chariot crossed the main house, and the golden whip flocked to the Hou family.

"Wow! Is this Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion? It's just magnificent! Mu Qingyao stood under the city gate, looking at the ancient city wall that was four feet and twelve meters high, and couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Fan touched Qing Yao's little face and said with a smile: "Chang'an City is the ancient capital of several dynasties, and the city wall has been designed and repaired many times, and it is one of the most difficult city walls to destroy today. ”

"Let's go! Let's go in! ”

When they arrived at the city gate, the golden soldiers guarding the city and searching shocked Qin Fan, good guy, these soldiers guarding the gate turned out to be the sixth-order sword forbidden army!

"Mom, isn't the capital of the Jin Dynasty in Kaifeng Mansion in Bianliang? Why are the guards here so high? ”

Qin Fan stuck out his tongue, the system power is the system power, and it is really not something that ordinary players can easily move.

Smoothly entering the city, the first thing is Chang'an Avenue, which can be used for eight carriages to pass side by side, and you can't see the end at a glance, there are many restaurants and shops on both sides of the street, and players and NPC people are bustling on the street.

There are many functional NPCs in this city, and freelancers rely on these NPCs to earn money by receiving tasks, buying equipment, and then worshipping martial arts halls or sects to practice martial arts. Or you can study the work of all walks of life, in short, the choice is very broad, you can be a landscape party, or a cook, or a talented person who reads poetry and books, and you can also do business.

"Fan Yixian said, let's go to Chang'an West City to find a well called Xiangquan, but where can we find a well in this huge West Market?" Qin Fan was a little troubled.

"Childe might as well ask the people in the city, maybe there will be some clues?" Mu Qingyao said with a smile.

"That's right! Look at my brain......" Qin Fan patted his head, and for a while, he actually drilled the tip of the horns.

The four of them came to the West Market, which is close to the West Gate, and it is said that most of the groundwater in Chang'an is bitter, and only a few wells near the West Gate are clear and sweet, which is used to supply the entire Chang'an and even the imperial palaces of previous dynasties.

Qin Fan came to a well with more people, this well is called Qingshui Well, the water source is introduced by the Qingming Canal, one of the eight waters of the Tang Dynasty, the water volume is large, sweet and clear.

At this time, an elderly man was stirring the wheel, pulling up the wooden barrel full of water, and Qin Fan hurriedly asked Li Yiyi to come forward to help.

The bucket was quickly pulled up, and the old man had a long white beard, and he turned back and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

Qin Fan took this opportunity and said, "Old man, I want to ask you about it next, I don't know if you know about Xiangquan?" ”

"Xiangquan? The old man has lived in this city all his life, but he has never heard of any fragrant springs, and the most famous thing here is the sweet water well with four wheels and eight buckets three streets in front of him......"

"Sweet water well?" Qin Fan was overjoyed, and he suddenly remembered an allusion that Fan Yixian said before.

According to legend, Han Xiang, the nephew of Han Yu, a famous literary scholar in the Tang Dynasty, is one of the eight immortals of Taoism, Han Xiangzi once made a fine wine with well water in his residence near Xishi, and the well water of this generation is bitter, people do not believe it, and do not dare to taste the wine easily, so he chanted a poem: real wine has no bitterness, real water has no fragrance, bitterness is sweet, and jade dew elixir. The wine was sprinkled into the well, and the aroma of the wine in the well was mouth-watering.

People hurriedly fetched water, but the water did not smell of wine, and the mouth was very luscious, clearing heat and quenching thirst, moistening the lungs and spleen; Wash your hair and face, refreshing and smooth; It is used to wash the body and take a shower, the body skin is smooth and comfortable, tender and soft, and the body feels light.

Later, all the bitter wells in the west gate of Chang'an became sweet wells, and the wells used by Han Xiangzi to make wine also became "Xiangquan" to refer to the Hunan character.

Now that I think about it, I don't know whether this mythical legend is true or not, but since it is a fragrant spring, the well water is sweet and delicious, which may have something to do with the famous sweet water well.

However, Qin Fan asked all the way, and only then did he know that the sweet water well was actually the name of a very narrow alley, and there were several wells near this alley that were the same as the old man's description......

"It's a little embarrassing...... Which well is it? ”
