Chapter 237: Yujing

At noon, there had just been a light rain, and some rain had accumulated in the deep ruts on the official road, and the wooden wheels of the carriage were stuck in the ruts and turned briskly under the traction of the horses, and the rolled water droplets kept throwing backwards.

At this time, a certain evil god, who had long forgotten his ambitions, was lying on the small window of the carriage, sticking out his tongue to lick the droplets of water that were flying in the air, and his little face was almost flattened like a melting rice cake dumpling......

"Almost all the protagonists in human memory are good people, and the goal is to defeat the Great Demon King, save the world, and achieve the ideal...... But who will tell me what an evil god should do? Destroying the world is meaningless unless you're hungry~! ”

Luo Shen, who had licked the wheels enough, shrank his head out of the car window, and Zhenxiu on the side took a towel to wipe the water stains on his face.

For Zhenxiu, she has basically determined this thing in front of her at this time - well, this "thing" can never be measured by common sense.

This deceitful boy was much more terrifying than the demons and monsters in the horrific stories he had ever heard.

It's just that for some reason, Jin-so doesn't feel tormented.

Maybe the other party has no intention of attacking her so far, or maybe she was rescued by Luo Shen from the Lu Mansion. Zhenxiu didn't have much fear of Luo Shen at this time, but gradually adapted to this situation.

I can't resist anyway...... Let's just do it first. Thinking like this, Jin-so and Luo Shin, who didn't know what they were thinking, took a rented carriage and left Gyeongju quickly along the official road.

Chirp~~~!

In the sky after the rain, a small bird of prey let out a pleasant chirp and swept along the official road in the wind.

"Found it." Dozens of miles away, one of the black knights on horseback suddenly said.

And if you look at the eyes of the man in black at this time, then it is not difficult to see that the man's eyes are reflected in some kind of aerial view.

"He's about to leave Gyeongju, do you want to inform the defenders to stop him?" The man in black, who seems to be able to connect his vision to the domesticated bird of prey, asked.

In the center of the Dark Night Imperial History, a young man with a thin body, a pale face, and heavy dark circles under his eyes like a tuberculosis ghost waved his hand and said, "Since you are leaving, don't waste your troops on this kind of monster." Moreover, he left the direction of Gyeongju along this road...... Hehe, this kind of monster will definitely cause some chaos to them when it arrives in the imperial capital, right? It's convenient for us......"

"But if we don't do anything, it's hard for the envoy to explain......," said a man in black cautiously.

"Explain?! Ahem——! The leprosy man said contemptuously and coughed twice, "There is no need to explain—there is no need to explain it again in this life." We don't need to explain anything to the Daxin Imperial Court in the future. ”

Between the words of several people, the unsettling aura of conspiracy was almost naked.

However, none of the more than a dozen knights present who were the Dark Night Imperial History of the Great New Dynasty showed a different color, and it was obvious that all of them were involved in something.

……

The capital of the new dynasty, formerly known as "Chang'an".

At that time, the founding saint of the Great New Dynasty, 'Mang', originally overthrew the old country, fought in the south and the north, forged ahead, and carried out large-scale reforms very smoothly. However, in the Battle of Kunshan, he suffered the biggest defeat of his life, not only the army was lost, but even almost died. In the historical record, in the end, only more than 100 horsemen escorted 'Mang' and fled back to Chang'an.

The 'reckless' who fled back to Chang'an, faced the enemy besieging the city, and changed Chang'an to 'Yujing', which took the meaning of "jade and stone burning".

Time passes.

Today, the holy monarch of Daxin, 'Mang', and the sworn enemy of the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhongxing', 'Xiu', have become a thing of the past.

However, Yujing City, as the core place where 'Mang' repelled the siege of the enemy's army and won the most important respite time for the Great New Dynasty that was about to collapse, still maintains a strong military force at this moment.

The carriage left Gyeongju and entered the territory of Okgyung.

What then unfolded in front of Luo Shen and Zhenxiu was a wide and straight gallop road, as well as a checkpoint pass that must be set up whenever there is a natural danger.

Even in the flat fields, you can often see the dark military fortresses that rise in the middle of the plains.

Two more days.

Only then did the carriage see the outer city of Yujing.

At dawn, the skyline was darkened with towering walls and towers of arrows with fangs, making it clear at first glance that this would be the burial place of countless soldiers.

Before dawn, the coachman parked the carriage in front of the fang market, five miles outside Yujing City, and crowded on both sides of the road with countless carriages, merchants, and farmers who wanted to enter Beijing at dawn.

Boom~~~Rumble~~~

A mouth-wrenching vibration came from afar, and a moment later the crowd stirred up like rolling thunder.

But soon the commotion was suppressed by the officials who maintained order.

It was also the explanation of these officials that everyone knew that the rumbling and vibration that came from afar was actually the sound made by some kind of mechanism used for city defense in Yujing City when it was activated!

"The ground is trembling, how big is this mechanism?" A scholar who seemed to be coming to Yujing for the first time said dumbfounded.

A businessman next to him, who seemed to be a local man, "cut" disdainfully, glanced at the scholar with the eyes of looking at the soil buns, and said proudly: "I haven't seen it, have you?" This was the state-level organ that His Majesty the Holy Monarch repelled the dog thief Liu Xiu in one fell swoop! ”

"So what's the use of this thing? Rolling wood stones? Ten thousand arrows? Another man with a foreign accent interjected curiously.

"Don't understand, do you? The organs under our Jade Capital City ......"

The local began to blow triumphantly.

However, Luo Shen in the carriage on the side knew that what this person said was just the external rhetoric that was later revised by the Daxin Imperial Court.

As a matter of fact.

This Yujing itself is an "SCP"!

In the words of the humans of this world, this is a super-large immortal weapon!

Judging from the information Luo Shen received from Hei Guanyin, this Jade Capital City was one of the most powerful and practical SCPs that the Great New Dynasty had mastered.

The number is second only to a mysterious immortal artifact in the hands of the founding monarch 'Mang'.

Its abilities and descriptions are not necessarily comprehensive even in the records of the Dark Night Imperial History Headquarters, and must be the case of a large "███".

But the Black Guanyin somehow knows the details of this 'Jade Capital City'.

Therefore, Luo Shen also knew the actual capabilities of the city in front of him and some interesting history.

Although he has no interest in the dirty politics of mankind, Roshen "appreciates" the city and the stories that have happened behind it.
