Chapter Ninety-Two: The Towering Jiaqing City
The night passed quickly, and the next day, there were no more accidents. The direction of the Dead Man's Ditch was still silent, and although the Criminal Department had removed those bayonets with the help of Huang Xiangtang's inner ghosts, they obviously didn't have enough energy to strike a deeper blow.
The four horses that shed blood and sweat are really worthy of the name of BMW, after shedding blood and sweat, each horse has become like a magic horse, traveling thousands of miles a day. If it weren't for the stop-and-go brothers, it would have been difficult for those who were walking behind to keep up.
At noon that day, everyone successfully arrived at the southernmost gate of Yuzhong County.
Looking up at the city wall that was more than ten feet high, and looking at the patrol teams that were constantly coming and going, the fifth Tingyun had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and then it was the central city and county of the entire Jialing Province. Jialing Province dominates the entire Nanshu Mountains and the Hengduan Mountains in the west, covering a wide area, with a permanent population of tens of millions in the province, and the largest river in the Yanhua Empire passes through the province, which can be said to be one of the most famous provinces in the Yanhua Empire.
Yuzhong County is the economic, cultural and political center of Jialing Province.
It is conceivable that Yuzhong County is comparable to the counties of Yuyang and Fengdu that have passed through before. Taking the city wall alone, Yuzhong is full of majesty and domineering, and the height of the city wall alone is far from being comparable to other counties.
"The city defense of Yuzhong is alternately interspersed with the criminal department and the county guard, and it is jointly executed. The group came to the outside of the city wall, as an old tourist in Yuzhong, Jiang Cheng introduced, "However, there is no cooperative relationship between them, Yuzhong County is on the defensive, and the local criminal department is not taken seriously." In order to restrain the forces of the county guards, the Central Criminal Department of the Central Committee quickly incorporated part of the Criminal Department into the city defense team. ”
Hearing this, Fifth Tingyun couldn't help but be a little curious about the county guard of Yuzhong County. As we all know, the imperial family of the Yanhua Empire has the greatest power, and below is the central government, which directly governs the five departments of soldiers, academics, criminals, commerce, and miscellaneous. And the Yuzhong County Guard was able to bypass the five departments and openly fight against the criminal department, which is definitely not a small force behind this.
"When we enter the city later, we will randomly divide into several teams, and when the team guarding the city is interrogated, we must avoid the arrest and questioning of the criminal department. Jiang Cheng is obviously familiar enough with the situation here, and it is more than enough to deal with it at this time.
Fifth, Tingyun dressed up a little, he is now a wanted criminal in the Criminal Department. Judging from the situation in Fengdu last time, there is definitely a detailed portrait of him on the wanted warrant, otherwise he would not have been recognized as soon as he arrived outside the gate of Fengdu City.
"Fifth Tingyun, you follow me later, be smart. After Jiang Cheng simply assigned more than 20 people, he took Bai Jie and the fifth Tingyun and drove two horses towards the city gate.
After Jiang Cheng and a few people lined up, the remaining temporary teams also lined up one after another to enter the city.
Due to the preparations, the group entered the city easily. After entering the city, the brothers of Huang Xiang Tang reunited at the Huang Xiang branch in the city according to the agreement. Under the arrangement of the branch hall master, they avoided the checkpoints of the Criminal Department one after another, and it only took two hours to reach their final destination, Tianmen City.
The city wall of Tianmen City is located on the bank of the Chu River, and the city wall is built according to the flow of the river. On both sides of the Chu River, there are two vast highlands, like a half-open gate of heaven, the Chu River rushes out from the "gate", so there is a saying that "the gate of heaven interrupts the opening of the Chu River", and the name of the city of heaven also comes from this.
The two major highlands of Jiangdong and Jiangxi are low to the west, and Tianmen City is on the high ground in the west.
Being in Tianmen City, looking eastward, a towering city suddenly stood in Jiangdong, at first glance, it looked like a coiling dragon fiercely pressed over. Jiangdong Highland rises from the river, the whole Jiaqing City stands on the highland, and Jiaqing City is from Jiaqing College, the first university in Jialing Province, so to speak, Jiaqing City is Jiaqing College, Jiaqing College is Jiaqing City!
Jiaqing City is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, thousands of miles from the ground, only in the west, a 10,000-step stone step from the pier at the bottom of the cliff to the top of the cliff. The top of the cliff is Jiaqing, the place where countless Jialing children are haunted by their dreams.
According to legend, every year those who are admitted to Jiaqing College will undergo a swimming test when they come to report. Only by successfully crossing the surging Chu River can the entrance ceremony of Jiaqing's disciples be truly completed.
Fifth Tingyun stood outside Tianmen City, looking up slightly to the east, the corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled, if it weren't for his parents' lives, in fact, he might as well take the test for this Jiaqing Academy. He looked at the rolling river, the waves could reach several feet high, the sound of the waves was deafening, and the momentum was terrifying. He almost imagined that after passing Jiaqing's exam, he would jump into the heroic landscape of swimming across the river alone!
"Childe, that stone staircase is so high!" Bai Jie stood behind the fifth Tingyun, pointing to the 10,000-step stone steps and exclaimed.
It's not, and the fifth hearing cloud is not surprised. Jiaqing is worthy of being a place that countless people yearn for, in addition to the Chu River that isolates the inside and outside, the bluestone staircase that goes straight into the sky is even more powerful. At the top of the stone steps, the word "Jiaqing" hangs high above the city gate, even if it is separated by the Chu River that is 100 zhang wide, you can still feel the majestic spirit between the fonts.
"We'll go up and play tomorrow. The fifth pointed to the stone steps in the clouds and said to Bai Jie.
When Bai Jie heard this, he immediately applauded.
Jiaqing, Guang is breathtaking from the outside, I don't know what the scene is like in the city?
"Let's go, according to the plan, Hall Master They should have arrived at the Tianxiang Main Hall, and we should also go. Jiang Cheng stared at Na Jiaqing City for a long time, and only then did he retract his gaze and urge.
Fifth, I heard that Yun didn't want to get involved in Sikong Ming's affairs anymore, but now that it was almost dusk, and he couldn't find a boat on the river, he couldn't really swim over, right? In desperation, he had no choice but to follow Jiang Cheng into the city, and by the way, he inquired more about the situation.
"After watching Jiaqing, and then looking at this Tianmen City, the word Tianmen is really a bit funny. "Tianmen City is worthy of being the territory of Tianxiang General Hall, Jiang Cheng and the others almost swaggered into the city. After entering the city, the fifth Tingyun couldn't help but sigh and teased.
Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "It's not just funny, the word Tianmen has completely become a foil." ”
There was talk and laughter in the procession, and before nightfall, more than twenty people and six horses finally arrived.
Like the overall layout of Fengdu Huangxiangtang, the outermost attic is towering, with nine floors, which is much more magnificent than the wooden attic of Huangxiangtang. On the third floor, there is a dark mahogany plaque about five feet high and one zhang long, which is inscribed with five large characters of "Ci Dish Wuxiang Hall", each of which is the size of an adult.
Entering the attic, the first thing is an iron door, and more than a dozen counters on both sides of the iron door are lined up, like Huang Xiangtang, these counters should be doing "second-hand" business on the surface. The iron gate is in the center, and there is a plaque directly above, with four gilded characters of "Tianmen Tianxiang", which is domineering and luxurious, and the momentum is incomparable.
Tianxiang General Hall is indeed not comparable to a single branch hall.
"You're here. Jiang Cheng led everyone, and just before he came to the iron gate, the iron gate burst open. Sikong Ming led two Huang Xiangtang's cronies and greeted him.
"Hall Master, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" Jiang Cheng first said loudly, then stepped forward and whispered in Sikong Ming's ear, "I have brought the hall master's horse completely, and not a single hair is missing." ”
"Brother is doing things, I don't worry. Sikong Ming patted Jiang Cheng with a smile, and then instructed the two behind him, "Quick, go and lead the four horses to the living room." ”
The two took the order and left.
"Let's go, let's go in too, all the hall masters, the head of the hall are here, just waiting for you. Sikong Ming led the way.
When the fifth heard this, he immediately felt that he shouldn't follow, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would have to be forced to join the Second Dish Wuxiang Hall. Just as he was hesitating, Sikong Ming saw him and said with a smile: "Little brother, this time it's thanks to you." Let's go, my brother has to invite you to a meal and a drink, by the way, my old man misses you. ”
