Before arriving at the royal city, Bai Bingyu had ordered a message of incense, so the princess and her faction in the city got the news in advance and greeted them early.

A large group of officials stood in the middle of the road under the protection of their families and servants, and the people were isolated from each other, and many of those who were in a hurry to enter the city to do business or who had urgent matters were anxious, but they had no choice but to rush into the ranks of the officials and gentlemen, so they could only do it in a hurry.

Seeing Ying Ying and the others from a distance, the officials here hurriedly surrounded them, and put on a fist salute from afar, until Ying Ying led the team to the front before kneeling down and saluting. The ministers welcomed the princess back to the city. ”

As soon as the officials here bowed, no one dared to stand around, and they knelt down to worship, feeling that the crowd was a head shorter. Ying Ying and Qin Bo rode together, and it felt quite fresh to look at the crowd around them. In his previous life, he had a prominent background, but that era was about equality for everyone. Regardless of the facts, at least on the surface, they are still equal, and it is really rare to get on your knees like this.

In fact, even in this world, this situation is rare. This time it's because Ying Ying rushed back to the royal city from afar, which is a situation where she hasn't returned for a long time, and when she usually meets, unless she is in the main hall, she usually makes a move and finishes it, and it won't be so formal.

Ying Ying did not hurriedly step forward to help anyone up like in the film and television drama, but sat upright on the horse and bowed with peace of mind, until everyone's foreheads touched the ground before waving lightly. "No courtesy. ”

At this moment, everyone stood up from the ground, but before they could speak, Ying Ying pointed around first and said: "Your kindness, Princess Ben knows, it's just that the people still have to run for their livelihoods, it's not good for us to block here and disturb the people, let's let the people pass first." ”

As soon as they heard this, the surrounding people hurriedly bowed again, praising the princess for loving the people. The officials didn't say anything, but hurriedly asked the servants to get out of the way, and some of the people standing on the periphery took the initiative to compensate the surrounding people.

The people were still talking as they left.

"It's still Princess Ying's benevolence, and she knows how to sympathize with us little people!"

"That's it. Speaking of the Nine Princesses, who does not praise. ”

"The official who followed the princess is also very polite!" said the merchant who was carrying the burden: "Just now, an official apologized to me!"

An old man said: "Things gather like people in groups, princesses are benevolent and righteous, and people close to them are naturally virtuous people." ”

Listening to the people gossiping and leaving, the officials here also showed a hint of understanding on their faces, and their expressions were even more respectful when they looked at Ying Ying again.

Ying Ying had already turned over and dismounted at this time, and Tianyou and the others naturally came down with them. The spirit riders were all retracted, turned into horse souls and reloaded.

It can be seen that Ying Ying usually doesn't have too many shelves, and the previous worship was a ritual system, so Ying Ying was not polite, and when Ying Ying got off the horse, everyone almost surrounded her, and instantly surrounded Ying Ying three layers inside and three layers outside. When Qin Bo saw this situation, he quickly squeezed into the crowd, after all, he was the princess's guard, let Ying Ying be alone in the crowd, what if something happened?

The officials who were high enough to harass Ying Ying, and the slightly lower officials outside were not good at squeezing inside, so they began to disperse the targets, and for a while, Bai Bingyu and the others were also surrounded by Hula, forming a small circle.

People want to talk to Yingying and them, Tianyou naturally has no reason to stop them, and when he saw someone squeezing over, he naturally took a step back to make room for others, but this left and right moved, and he moved out of the crowd somehow. In front, Yingying and his party were surrounded by seventy or eighty officials and hundreds of family members and servants like iron buckets, but he was left outside.

Ying Ying in the crowd has completely entered the work mode, and at the same time is exchanging opinions with seven or eight people, she is coming back this time to do things, there are too many things to deal with, each one is very important, she has to devote herself to dealing with it one by one, and even to multitask, thinking about several things at the same time, and then ordering them one by one. After all, what they lack now is time, and the sooner they come up with ideas, the better.

Tianyou felt that he couldn't get in anyway, so he just hung behind the team and followed.

The crowd moved towards the city gate with Ying Ying as the center, and Tianyou stood on the periphery and fell idle, just admiring the royal city of Qin.

They have also been to several royal cities when they ran around with Xiyan before, and the general shape is similar, but there are still slight differences in details.

The walls of the royal city of Qin are not high, just more than three zhang, there is a female wall at the top, and there are city towers in all four directions. Except for the short city walls, it is no different from the royal cities of other countries in other aspects. The real difference is in three points.

One is that the city walls of the Qin State have slopes, and the walls are not straight, but have an inclination of nearly 80 degrees, which can be clearly seen by the naked eye.

The second is that the thickness of the walls of the Qin State is amazing, and the width of the top can reach more than six zhang, which is almost twice the height of the city. The location of the castle tower is particularly prominent, the length and width are more than 20 zhang, which is comparable to a small European-style castle.

The third is the superstructure of the castle tower, which is completely different from the modern city wall structure, it is layer upon layer, like a pagoda stacked layer by layer.

In fact, it is better to understand it by thinking differently. Assuming that the walls on both sides are removed, the central part of the castle tower is completely a castle tower, and including the level of the castle wall, there are as many as nine floors in total, and the top height looks like it is reaching straight into the sky when viewed from below.

"It's so high!"

Tianyou looked up at the towering tower, imagining what it would be like to have archers on it when there was a real siege, it would be a hedgehog.

There are a total of five doorways under the tower, but the middle gate is not opened, and the outermost two small doors are also closed, only the small doors on both sides of the middle gate are open for people to enter and exit. Of course, it is said that the small door is relative to the middle door, and the so-called small door is actually two zhang wide and more than one zhang high.

There were two groups of soldiers standing at the gate of the city, one of them standing straight, and they looked quite imposing, and I don't know if it was always like this or because a large number of officials passed by to show it temporarily.

Before Tianyou got close to the city gate, he felt a cold wind blowing. The twenty-zhang thick city gate cave is not much better than the cave, and it is inevitable that it will be cold and damp. Tianyou deliberately touched the wall tiles, which were wet and damp.

"Nima, this place is a bomb shelter. ”

You can only see the city gate after entering the city gate hole nearly a foot deep. The exterior of the ironwood door was painted with black paint, and the inside of the door was already dark, and when the door was opened, it was almost invisible against the walls on both sides, and I don't know why it was used this color.

If you go further inside, you can see several round holes in the top of your head, which are black and rumbling, and you can vaguely see a spindle, and there are things like electric fan blades around them. Of course, it is impossible for the people of the Qin State to install a ceiling fan inside the city gate, this thing should be some kind of defensive weapon, but it is not activated now and there is nothing to see.

Continuing to walk forward, Tianyou also found things like jack gates, arrow holes, and flaps one after another. It seems that this small city gate hole is by no means as simple as it seems, and there are thousands of lives to fill it, so don't even think about it.

After passing through the city gate, the first thing you see is a relatively straight avenue, paved with blue bricks, neat buildings on both sides, all unified regulations, two steps at the door, black wooden columns, gray brick walls, dark red doors and windows, and even the position and opening direction of the doors and windows are exactly the same. If it weren't for the fact that the shops along the street had their own signs and banners, it would be almost impossible to tell each other.

Although the architectural style is quite gray, the streets are quite bustling with people. Some of the bustling crowd were dressed in washed and white clean cloth clothes, all of which were men working in the shop. Some are dressed in fancy costumes, and they talk in groups of three or five, which is literati. There is also a hunting suit, a sword holding a sword, this is a martial artist. But more often than not, there are people in rough clothes who bow their heads and hurry, these are the main body of the citizens, some of them are peasants outside the city, some are people who do small business, and some are people who go to the city to make a living.

Of course, the most eye-catching of these people is Yingying's group of people, the people around them will instinctively pull aside when they see them, and some people will bow to the crowd from a distance when they hear something.

Tianyou found that Yingying's reputation among the people was really high. Because he is dressed as a standard Orion, and no one avoids him, he can often hear people talking near him, and after asking about the team of the Nine Princesses on the other side, someone will immediately salute from afar, although he knows that Ying Ying can't see this, but there are still many people who will do this. It's obviously not as simple as stammering or taking authority over, it's really respectful.

Although he has been in Qingyuan Village for a few years, Tianyou is not a simple mountain man, he often goes to the town and the county to trade and buy on behalf of the villagers, and Huang Xiancheng also met him at that time. Because Tianyou people are more lively, the three religions and nine streams can chat a few words, so he can get a lot of information from the outside world every time he goes out, of course, most of them are just rumors.

At that time, he heard that the ninth princess was benevolent and righteous, and her prestige among the people was very high, but today he really realized Yingying's prestige. This is no longer as simple as prestige. Tianyou fully believes that as long as Ying Ying raises her arms and exhales, she can pull up an army in an instant. This terrifying prestige has completely surpassed the aura given to her by the identity of the princess, and it can be said that even if she loses the identity of the princess now, no one dares to underestimate her.

"Nine princesses. You're more than just a vase!"
