I walked across the Baqiao Bridge and stepped on the main road leading to Eight Dragons City.

Li Zhen kept looking back at the bridge.

Everyone thought he was worried about the two noble people on the bridge, and worried about how the ten heads would end.

Not.

He doesn't worry about those things.

Li Zhen just remembered this place deeply in his mind, and muttered: "I should stay in Eight Dragon City for a month, and during this time, then I will sit on the bridge and wait for you at this time every day." I come every day and I'll always bump into you. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Zhen's mouth, and he couldn't help but smirk, and said secretly in his heart: I told Zhang Zhi in my dream tonight that although we have crossed time and space, we will still meet under the same starry sky. In the future, we will agree on a place and meet often.

Through 10,000 years, this starry sky has remained the same. After the vicissitudes of life, we still have intersections......

After passing through the Yanwu Gate and entering the Eight Dragons City, Li Zhen saw many brick houses, which were obviously different from other places along the way.

Most of the buildings in the entire Eight Dragons City are concrete structures.

Cement is something that has been restored a long time ago. However, the recipe was kept secret by the businessmen, so as to make a profit, and the price of cement was speculated very high. That's not a building material that the average person can afford.

Reinforced concrete buildings are currently only popular with the capital, rich and noble.

Li Zhen sighed, in fact, the science of Kyushu is not bad, but the secrecy system is too strong. It's basically a monopoly. And the monopoly must be at a strange price, and it will not be promoted under the high price, but it is not applicable to the people everywhere. This is a disadvantage of society, and Li Zhen can only sigh.

Entering the main city of Eight Dragon City, the prosperity around made Li Zhen and Qi stunned, who had come to his senses, a little sideways. The commodity facades are dazzling, but the people along the way are silently standing on the side of the street pointing and pointing, which seems a little deserted.

Li Zhen knew that Bacheng was the one who beheaded ten people on the Baqiao Bridge as soon as he arrived in Balong City, and it had spread throughout the capital.

The people now have a hazy attitude towards themselves, fear themselves, or despise themselves?

I was going to walk along the way and take a good look at the Eight Dragons City all the way, but looking at the frightened appearance of the people, Li Zhen could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

"Speed up and enter the palace."

Li Zhen jumped into the carriage and sat on the platform.

The forbidden army understood, slapped his ass, and sped up towards the inner city of the palace.

In the center of Eight Dragons City, a building surrounded by high power is the imperial palace.

The walls were ten meters high, and they were not as grand as they could have been. Standing in front of the city wall, people feel how small they are.

The palace has only two gates, the east gate and the west gate. When Li Zhen and the others arrived at the east gate, they saw the iron vermilion city gate five meters high and about three meters wide. The whole body is made of metal, not wooden doors.

It's heavy.

A door page is about 40 centimeters thick. According to rough estimates, this door weighs no less than two or three tons.

The red door only opened a small gap, allowing only one person to pass through, but there was a carriage behind him, and everyone was riding horses but could not enter.

Mingkang had no choice but to call the door: "The guard on duty, please open the door." The champion wants to enter the palace. ”

On the lintel, a window the size of two palms suddenly opened. Li Zhen jumped back in shock, he didn't even notice that there was a room in the lintel six meters above, and there was even a window here.

A head poked out of the window and said in a cold voice: "The time for the government and the opposition to get off work is four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still two hours left before the east gate opens." Register, fill out the form, verify your identity, and wait. ”

'Smack'

As he spoke, the man in the window threw out a notebook. At the top is the information field for visitor registration, and you need to fill in the name and other information of each entrant.

Mingkang often writes about filling out the form, but his experimental identity is the most troublesome. Don't look at this door, which opens a slit for you, which can accommodate a person in and out. But as long as you don't go through all the formalities, dare to stretch your neck, and you will be slaughtered with a knife.

Ming Kang took the holy decree from Li Zhen's hand and shouted, "We were summoned by the Son of Heaven to bring the holy decree into the palace. ”

The person in the window was stunned, and hung down a basket: "Put the holy decree in and see." ”

Mingkang put the decree in the basket, and he hung it with a rope again. After examining it for a moment, he put the decree in the basket and hung it down.

"Open the door!"

in the door.

A soldier walked behind the door, and behind the iron door on the left was a winch like the steering wheel of a car. The armor grabbed the winch with one hand and began to rotate in a counterclockwise direction.

It was easy, he could twist the winch with one hand.

And with the turn of the winch, the left door, which weighed several tons, slowly opened.

Not a single sound!

Seeing the extremely heavy iron door open, Qi was stunned and exclaimed: "How many horses do you have to pull such a heavy door open." Why is there no sound when you open the door? ”

Mingkang smiled deeply: "You have to ask the champion about this kind of thing." ”

Li Zhen smiled: "It seems that the mechanical engineering of the empire is very developed. ”

"I don't understand either."

Li Zhenxin was slightly stunned, and the consternation was not that the dignified Kyushu Empire had thoroughly studied mechanical engineering. Shockingly, is the Empire's forging process so precise?

Don't look at it as just a door, don't look at it as a simple small winch that can open the door. In this door, I don't know how many mechanical gears are running. This is the science of gear in mechanical engineering.

To create gears with very precise bites, it takes a lathe and a ruler to make it. Gears are already precision instruments. But Li Zhen dared to guarantee that there was absolutely no lathe in Kyushu.

So he was amazed, how did the precision gears installed in the door be made? He was able to guarantee that the gears were absolutely precise to the point of no more than a millimeter, because only when they were so precise that they would not make a sound when they moved.

Could it be that there is still an empire that has researched something beyond the lathe?

didn't have a chance to think about it, Li Zhen immediately rode on a tall horse and took the lead into the door.

A long corridor.

It is at least a mile long, but this road is wide and can only be driven by two planes. On both sides of the road are towering concrete walls, which are more than 10 meters high.

Li Zhen could see that the gaps between many of the bricks and stones on the wall were very large. It is not difficult to imagine that in wartime, if the enemy rushed into the corridor. Deadly weapons continue to emerge from the walls on either side.

On both sides of the road, all stood the forbidden army. Everyone was armed with sabers and guns, and they didn't squint.

As soon as everyone came in, they subconsciously became nervous, and Qi was stunned and didn't dare to speak, so he honestly followed behind.

Li Zhen was in front with his head held high, the egg whites and other filth on his face had been washed away, but the wound on his forehead was still bright red.

After passing through the road, I passed through an iron gate, and the road became wider.

"Armor stops!"

There was a loud shout in the door.

"Yes!"

The more than 1,000 forbidden soldiers who had followed Li Zhen for so long drank in unison, and then took off their swords, firearms, and armor in unison.

The leader of the forbidden army cracked the corners of his mouth and smiled at Li Zhen: "Champion, I finally let you arrive at the palace safe and sound, and my buddy can be regarded as having completed the task." We're going back to the barracks to report, you ......."

As he spoke, the leader of the forbidden army had red eyes: "Let's go goodbye, goodbye to the rivers and lakes." ”

Li Xin was a little sour in his heart, along the way, these people loyally accompanied him and guarded him. In Yanziji, it is said that the two mountains will be leveled, and they will accompany themselves to level the two mountains. They are the most loyal soldiers.

Walking in the desert, they shushed the cold and asked for warmth, fearing that they would be hot during the day and frozen at night. I'm afraid I'm hungry and thirsty. They are also the most attentive nannies.

Trapped in Zhashui County, they accompanied themselves through the poor mountains and bad waters. In fact, the mountain could not cross the carriage at all, and in some sections, they almost carried the carriage along the mountain road. Most of the time it was while paving and walking, and two died. They are a great group of laborers.

When they were hit with eggs and leaves, more than 1,000 of them surrounded themselves and used their bodies to resist the wrath of the people. And it was eggs and vegetable leaves that were originally smashed on themselves, but when they came to them, they were replaced with stones. The people thought that they were not champions, they were slaves, they were dogs, and it was okay if they were wounded and killed.

But at that time, Li Zhen thought that they were brothers. It is a great group of warriors who defend the country, the interests of the people, and the interests of the country.

Wronged.

Li Zhen took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the more than a thousand forbidden soldiers who had lost their armor, clasped his hands into fists, and his eyes swept over everyone's face, hoping to remember everyone.

He bowed deeply and bent his waist to the bottom.

"Ahh

"I can't stand it."

"What is this for?"

“……”

Li Zhenlang shouted: "Along the way, I have wronged my brothers." Li Zhen is here, thank you! ”

In the palace, from time to time, people walked around, and when they saw this scene, they snickered: "Surrender your identity." ”

"Still going to salute those martial artists?"

"An intellectual, to salute some reckless men who have not studied and can only serve as soldiers? Insulting Sven! ”

“……”

The group of forbidden soldiers who followed Li Zhen stood on the spot, not knowing how to express their thoughts, and they couldn't express them......

In the palace, in front of the gate, in the corridor, all the forbidden troops on the city wall all looked.

They all looked sideways, looking down from the height, looking back from the front. Gather together and watch.

Look at this first champion in Kyushu and salute their lowly comrades-in-arms.

I couldn't help but be moved. looked deeply at the young man who was so small that he seemed to be able to kill him with one punch, and felt that with this bow, his figure became taller.

I can't afford to bow for a long time. Mingkang helped Li Zhen up.

Li Zhen hugged his fists again, and Lang shouted: "Wang Yuanxiang." ”

The leader of the forbidden army escorting Li Zhen shouted: "Here." ”

"See you soon."

With that, Li Zhen turned around and strode towards what Mingkang said - the most glorious place in the world.

Wang Yuanxiang watched Li Zhen's back go away, and he was puzzled. He wasn't told his name, how did he know?

muttered: "Goodbye ......"
