Chapter 113: Into the Heavenly City

Before the sun set below the horizon, it radiated its last rays, a warm purple-gold that painted the mountains in gold, and the walls of the Heavenly City were no exception, turning them into a golden city.

From any point of view, the city is a tall and majestic city, located in the valley of Tongtian, blocking the north-south passage into the interior of the Heavenly Covered Land. Therefore, there are only city walls in the north and south directions of the whole city, and all the city walls are made of hard bluestone, about 40 zhang high, and more than two miles long.

As the name suggests, the Yitian Mountain Range refers to the fact that its peaks can lean against the sky, describing it as tall.

Therefore, the peaks in the direction of the Heavenly City are all steep walls, which are connected to the city walls. If someone wanted to climb the mountain wall to enter the city, it would be impossible.

The Heavenly City looked a little small in comparison to the towering peaks.

If a boulder rolls down from the mountain peak, it seems that half of Yitian City will be smashed, and the other half will also be fragmented and there is no intact place, because the falling gravel will achieve this goal.

It's just that when you stand under the city wall, you will feel that the city is actually very tall, and the forty zhang high city wall is enough for you to look up, and all the people who come to the city wall will have respect for this city.

There is a city wall, naturally there is a city gate, and the city gate is inlaid with a bluestone slab above, and several black characters of "Yitian City" are engraved on it. There is also a stone tower on the top of the city gate, and several flagpoles are erected in front of the tower.

In the middle is a yellow flag fluttering in the wind, embroidered with a dragon, but coiled into a "witch" character, on the left is a red flag, there is also a black "dragon" character on it, on the right is a black flag, but there is a white edge, on it is a yellow "Teng" word.

Most people know the flag in the middle, which is the flag of the Wu Clan, commonly known as the Dragon Flag. The two sides next to it should be the banners of the Heavenly City Guards and the Army, which are the rules of the Wu Clan, representing their power in this city.

On the city wall more than two miles long, there is a raised horse face every fifty zhang, and there is a stone through the horse face, a five-zhang high arrow tower, and those protruding horse faces and arrow towers are built all the way to the bottom of the mountain peak, so that the whole city wall is under the control of arrows.

Moreover, the entire city of Yitian was heavily guarded, and even during the day, there were also groups of soldiers cruising around the city walls, as if they were guarding against danger.

From time to time, people enter and exit the city gate, so it is certain that there are many villages and towns near Yitian City, so that there are so many people in Yitian City, which seems to be a bit prosperous.

The towns and villages should be hidden in the dense jungle, invisible only to the fact that some rough roads outside the gates lead deep into the woods, leading to the belief that there is a warm light at the end of the road.

Outside the city gate, there is an open space of about ten acres, and now there are a few street vendors, and it is a mobile market. It's just that it's almost dusk, and many vendors and customers have left, making the place look deserted and depressed.

It is surprising that there is such a flat clearing in the mountain forest. There are many mountains in the mountains and forests, and such a large flat open space, I don't know if it was excavated for the Heavenly City, or if there was such a flat land in the first place.

In the south of Yitian City, in the current market, there are four Wu men in ragged clothes and dust, who are hurrying through the deserted bazaar and walking towards the gate of Yitian City.

They looked like ordinary hunters, but if you look closely, they are different, not only the style of clothes is not from the Wu clan, but also with a bloody aura when they walk by, they look very strong, and they also reveal a faint murderous aura.

Pedestrians in the bazaar avoided it, but they didn't care, and kept walking towards the city gate.

Along the way, they would occasionally look at the goods placed by the vendors, appearing a little curious, leading people to believe that these few people rarely came to the city of Etien.

Although these people have curiosity, they are unwilling to stop to satisfy their curiosity, which can only indicate that they are in a hurry to enter the city.

These four people are the Menghuan Red Dragons who have gone through life and death struggles, and they are excited and sighing when they approach Yitian City, and they are naturally relaxed.

Judging from the scene in front of him, the people of the Duan Zheng Dynasty have not yet been killed here, Yitian City still has a chance, and the Wu Clan Kingdom also has a chance to avoid the invasion of the Duan Zheng Dynasty.

Among the few people, only Meng Winding Red Dragon was the first time to come, and he was more curious about Heavenly City.

He found that the walls of Yitian City were different from the stockade, and the wall in the stockade was a straight line. He didn't know that the pier platform was commonly known as the horse face, but he saw that the pier platform and the arrow tower above it were to control others to attack the city wall.

He was also surprised by the open city gate, which was more than five zhang high, about two zhang wide, and one foot thick, and looked to be made of a piece of metal, and the door was regularly raised with rows of thick nails with bowl mouths, making the whole gate appear heavy and strong, and it was estimated that there were not a dozen people who could not push it.

Now the main gate was closed, except for a side door, which was more than half smaller, through which people entering and leaving the city passed.

Seeing this huge door, he instinctively examined the solidity of the Heavenly City. Because the gate of the fortress can be easily broken by one person, the gate in front of you is not something that anyone can break.

In his opinion, if you don't reach the human witch, don't think about breaking through this city gate.

He looked at the bluestone city wall again, and found that there were no gaps between the masonry and stones, and all the gaps were sealed with metal solution, and it was impossible to climb such a high wall with his bare hands.

There was also a moat in front of the city wall, and I don't know where the water was drawn, about ten zhang wide. On both sides of the river, each is connected by a suspension bridge, and in the center of the moat is a huge stone pile, which is the place where the two suspension bridges are boundary.

If you want to cross the moat, as long as there is a drawbridge that is not lowered, you will not be able to cross the moat. Moreover, the drawbridge was more than two zhang wide, much wider than the gate of their stockade, enough to run horses and chariots on it.

Seeing this, he felt a little comforted in his heart, and in his mind, such a city could not be attacked by the people of the upright dynasty, and this city could be described as an iron wall and solid as gold.

A few of them only looked at the city, walked through the moat, and didn't care about the open side gate, there was also a witch soldier with a halberd standing, and a table was placed next to the door, and a city gate official in armor was sitting behind the table, his legs resting on the table, squinting at the people coming in and out of the city gate.

When a few people appeared in the Red Dragon, the city gate officials were staring at them from a distance, because these people were not normal no matter how they looked at them.

Dressed in strange clothes, carrying strange weapons, with scars and blood stains on his body, his face covered with exhaustion and dust from the journey. is looking at the city carefully, slowly rubbing into the city gate, as if he wants to blend into the city, can this let them go?

"Stand still, a few of you. A somewhat shrill voice rang out.

When Meng Huan Chilong and the others heard the shout, they turned their heads to look, and saw the city gate official standing up from behind the table, his eyes staring straight at them.

Although the city gate official was tall, his skin was fine and white, and he had a slightly emaciated face, a black beard, and the most conspicuous thing was a pair of eyes, which looked like a woman's charm.

A few people from Menghuan Chilong stopped, and Menghuan Tieying carefully pointed at himself and said, "My lord, call us?"

"It's you who shout, don't you know that you have to pay taxes when you enter the city? The city gate officer said very angrily.

Before a few of them could understand what was going on, some soldiers rushed over, snatched their weapons, and pushed them to the city gate.

The soldiers threw their weapons on the table in front of the gatekeepers, and then they scattered, encircling them in the middle.

A few soldiers with hook knives and water wave blades looked at them curiously, thinking that they had never seen such weapons.

The city gate official also unconsciously glanced at the strange weapons a few times, and was also a little curious, but he didn't make any other movements, took a shelf, and stared at them viciously with his eyes.

Meng Huan Iron Eagle had been here a few times, and as soon as he saw this scene, he immediately said. "My lord, I'm sorry, we rarely come to Yitian City, we only look at this majestic city, and forget about paying taxes. As he spoke, a small piece of broken silver was shoved into the hand of the city gatekeeper.

The city gate official shook the silver in his hand and said in a strange voice, "This is all you have?

Meng Huan Tieying laughed with him, shook his head and said, "Come out in a hurry, forget to bring it, just make do with the trouble." ”

The city gate official looked at them and said in a strange way: "The city gate tax is only two small dollars, and this hard loan is worth a thousand small dollars, and it is called improvisation! It seems to be very rich! There is a lot of silver, right? I can tell you, I have no money to find it." ”

Meng Huan Tieying smiled and said: "My lord, we are from the mountains, we come less, I don't know how much we should pay the city gate tax, this is too much, please invite all adults to drink." ”

The city gate official stuffed the silver into his pocket, and suddenly changed his face and said: "Although you know each other, you can't enter the city.

Meng Huanshan Hu was not happy when he heard this, and said in a rough voice: "How do you talk? What are you stealing and robbing, this is what we exchanged our lives for." "This is a big truth, they rushed all the way to Yitian City, and they fought their lives to fight for a bloody road.

But the gatekeeper was not pleased, and some shrill voices shouted exaggeratedly. "How dare you talk back? It's not a good thing at first glance, it's not a good thing to exchange your life, it's not the meaning of robbing? Make money well, why do you want to exchange your life?" Not to mention that this set of logic is really reasonable.

However, the city gate official did not stop talking, and continued: "You are too rampant, and you don't know how to wash and change the blood stains of murder, so you swaggered into the city, and told me clearly that you are the masters of killing people and goods. ”

This set made a few people cry and laugh in the red dragon, which sounded a little reasonable. But they just want to enter the Heavenly City as soon as possible, and meet the city guard, so that they have time to do these trivial things.

It's just that when the soldiers heard the order, they immediately surrounded them, and they all clenched their weapons, treating them as dangerous people.

Meng Huan Chilong was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't do it, we are entrusted by someone to come to find the city guard Lord Long Qifeng, you just need to take us to see the city guard, you will know who we are, and we really have something urgent to find him, someone asked us to send him a message." ”
