Chapter 16: The Magical King's District
"I originally thought it would be able to walk in about ten minutes, but at this speed, it doesn't seem to be able to reach it in less than half an hour." Lu Qiang, who was talking while driving, looked at Lu Shuang in the back seat from time to time. Lu Qiang asked Hua Yuan about the situation again, and Hua Yuan just replied simply: "It's okay, I'm used to it now." Lu Qiang said a little apologetically: "Originally, I wanted to take a safe shortcut, but who knew that encountering such a group of mercenaries of unknown origin made you see the dark side of the empire." β
Lu Qiang also transitioned the car from a bumpy road to a flat road. Lu Qiang also accelerated, and the vague city gradually became clear. Huayuan finally felt the car speeding and looked at the city in front of him. Hua Yuan asked, "What is the district ahead?" β
Lv Qiang: "The front is also the blue zone, if you can cross the past, the opposite side is the king zone." Now the districts are separated from each other, and you can see it, but you can't get through. β
"King's Quarter?" Hua Yuan asked, "That's the area where the elders live." β
"No, it's just a name." Lu Qiang explained: "If you listen to the name of the king's district, you must be a king-level person who lives there. It may be that this topic avoided the dullness just now, and Lu Qiang was also a lot happier when he heard Hua Yuan ask this.
Lu Qiang: "The king's district can be said to be the most bizarre place in the whole empire, and those who can enter the king's district are inhabited by some higher-level people, not us ordinary people, nor can you go there if you have a property of more than a billion yuan, but some people who really live on the top of the ivory tower live." Living in the King's District is not that you can go if you have money, but that you need to have a high status and more importantly, you have to have the right to actually control it. If you are not a king, if you are not a prince, you are qualified to go. Don't be afraid that you have money, and if you have money, you don't have the right to go in. Even if you have money, no matter how much money you have here, the empire can help you spend it. β
Lu Qiang pointed to the farthest building: "Look at the king's district, it is full of palaces and imperial cities. Hua Yuan vaguely saw a very tall tower. Hua Yuan asked, "Is the tallest building a lighthouse?" β
As soon as Hua Yuan finished asking this sentence, Lu Qiang was already out of breath with laughter, "Hua Yuan, don't tease me, you take a good look." If you say so, this thing is a good lighthouse. β
Hua Yuan looked at the tall tower in the distance again, "That's not a lighthouse, so what could it be?" Lu Qiang finally held back his laughter and said, "Huayuan, you still say that you won't make people happy." Your joke is simply a classic, and when I look back, I told the copper wall and Lao Gao that they will definitely faint with laughter. If these words were known to the people in this tower, they would be angry. Look at this style, is it the style of the Central Plains? Huayuan From this style, this should be a Middle Eastern style, Hua Yuan said with certainty: "This is built by Middle Easterners?" β
"That's right!" Lu Qiang replied: "This is built with reference to the legend in the Bible, and he is called the Tower of Babel." How magnificent it is! It's hard to build such a thing, the empire used the best designers and construction robots to build it, and the cost is beyond calculation. I heard that it was to build such a tower, and it took three kings to die to build this Tower of Babel. Did you know that the Tower of Babel also has a nickname? Hua Yuan shook his head, and Lu Qiang continued: "There is also a small name called the Tower of Babel, and you don't read books like the Bible. If you read it, you will not be unfamiliar with the word Babel, because the word Babel is not good, so it is only called Babel. I just admire this Middle Eastern bigwig, I really ****** have the money to fix whatever I want. For so many years, from the discovery of oil to the present, the oil in the Middle East has been exhausted. The development of mankind has never left oil, and Middle Easterners have always pinched the lifeblood of mankind, which is why so many Middle Eastern bigwigs come to live here. β
When Lu Qiang talked about these anecdotes about the empire, Hua Yuan was also very interested, perhaps it was the first time to listen to these new things about the empire. Hua Yuan also came to the bottom and asked: "Are there Chinese in the king district?" Lu Qiang smiled: "Of course there is, as long as there is land in this world, there must be people, and where there are people, there must be Chinese." That's a must-have! Is there just one? That's still a lot. Hua Yuan also smiled, "So many Chinese, won't they all be Manchu nobles!" β
"How is that possible!" Lu Shuang replied weakly in the back compartment, and Lu Qiang, who was driving in front, laughed and asked loudly: "How is it, is it better?" Hua Yuan also went back to see how Lu Shuang was now. Lu Shuang simply said: "It's okay, at least I can't die now." I'm a little half-asleep and a little dizzy right now. You two go on, and I'll listen later. β
Lu Qiang saw that Lu Shuang was fine, and Lu Qiang also smiled happily, "Then you can listen to it later!" Lu Qiang continued to speak.
"Huayuan, if you have the opportunity to stand on the Tower of Babel, you can basically see the whole view of the King's District, and the Tower of Babel is the best viewing point in the whole empire." Lu Qiang said approvingly: "If you want to ask if China is full of Manchu aristocrats, how is that possible." I've seen it from the inside, and it's basically all the dynasties you can know about the royal quarters. Some have never even heard of it, and the most ridiculous one is the Burmese Ming Dynasty. β
Hua Yuan was a little unconvinced, "How can there be so many dynasties, the dynasties that can be said to be reliable with the king are the Qing Dynasty." It is only possible if the Qing Dynasty appears here. And other dynasties, if they appeared in this royal district, how could it be, how could there be people who inherited these illusory inheritances in the long past. β
"Nothingness?" Lu Qiang smiled: "This is not nothingness, it is a show off that can be seen and touched." That's the ancestors that are clearly recorded in the family tree. For example, Yao, Shun, and Yu, have you heard of it? β
Hua Yuan nodded: "Of course I know, it can be said that I am a household name." Hua Yuan also guessed what Lu Qiang wanted to say, but Lu Qiang just nodded in the same way to affirm Hua Yuan's conjecture, "That's right, these three are in the king's district." We all think that these three emperors are basically stuck in the story, and you have seen who exhumed their bones. How many of their exploits can tell if they are true, and they are all debatable! But there is their kingdom and their city in this royal district, and you can say that they are all spiritually ill? β
Lu Qiang laughed as he spoke, and Hua Yuan was a little dizzy when he heard this. may not believe that these things that Lu Qiang said really exist. Lu Qiang saw Hua Yuan's thoughts, "Why don't you believe it, let's see if we have a chance in the future, take you in to see, there are all dynasties in China, it can be said that there are a variety of them." When you go in, be sure to bring a Chinese chronicle first. Article-by-article comparisons are available in the King's Quarter. Like the Fuxi clan, the Nuwa clan, the Yandi tribe, the Yellow Emperor tribe, and even the Houyi and his mother who can only shoot arrows and pick up girls. β
Hua Yuan laughed when he heard these fanciful names, and then asked curiously: "What do these descendants use to prove that they are direct descendants, and who can prove that these ancestors are indeed their ancestors." β
Lu Qiang laughed: "You are really naΓ―ve, you just have money." Hua Yuan immediately asked, "Didn't you say that you still need to have status to enter the king's district?" β
Lu Qiang said: "It is better to say that this is a king's district, it is better to say that this is a large dream base to satisfy the vanity of some powerful people." Money can be exchanged for the powerful, and the powerful can also be exchanged for real money, and the two substances of money and power can be exchanged at any time. The people in the King's Quarter are all crazy in human society, but in the King's Quarter they are all kings above ten thousand. The empire provided this group of people with a super-large dream base to satisfy vanity. These kings live in their dreams every day, and who is willing to walk out of this dream. β
Hua Yuan heard these ponders and said: "This dream is too real, who would want to wake up if you really live in it." Even if you are a beggar, who else can know you with the yellow robe. β
Hua Yuan said intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Qiang seemed to realize something, Lu Qiang thought about it, and then turned his head to look at Hua Yuan. Lu Qiang touched his chin and began to ponder something again. Hua Yuan didn't interrupt his train of thought when he looked at him. Hua Yuan only listened to Lu Qiang muttering to himself, and Lu Qiang turned his head to look at Hua Yuan again.
Lu Qiang said: "Hua Yuan, what you just said about the yellow robe, I suddenly thought about something, and I suddenly remembered it because I was inspired by you. The reason why we are always followed by others may be that your clothes are too eye-catching. You'd better change it, or it's too much trouble here. You put on your own makeup, change your outfit, and feel like you're aiming too big now. Huayuan, your current image is bigger than this broken car target, as soon as you appear in your current outfit, the news will spread immediately. β
Lu Qiang pointed to the storage bag: "You bring some sunglasses, there is a hat there." See if there's a fake beard you put on one too, take off your clothes, and wear this one of mine. Look at the hemostatic glue and stick it to your face. β
Hua Yuan listened to Lu Qiang's suggestion and looked for the disguised items by himself. Hua Yuan found a reading glasses in the storage bag and buckled the lenses himself. Hua Yuan tried it and brought it himself. Hua Yuan also pondered how to use the fake beard, and found a small human beard, which turned out to be a small human beard, which was even more weird when he wanted to bring the image. After thinking about it, Huayuan still gave up. Hua Yuan took Lu Qiang's clothes, put them on his body, and brought a duck tongue.
Lu Qiang drove while directing Huayuan's clothes while speeding forward. Hua Yuan changed his outfit again, and Lu Qiang nodded and made an OK gesture. Hua Yuan looked at himself through the mirror and couldn't help but feel that he was very funny in the mirror.
