Chapter 112: Curfew: Six Hundred Drums

After chatting for a while, it was already night in the county town.

On the scorched earth, all the county towns, royal cities, and capital cities are all subordinate to the Lianyun Emperor Capital. Even Emperor Yun is like a bulging spider, the original square city wall, after several expansions, expanded to a deformed and huge, located in the middle of the scorched earth plains.

The other city-states on the scorched earth are all nodes in the spider web, and the imperial capital, which is the center of the spider web, draws offerings and sacrifices from all directions, and the entire imperial capital looks bloated and huge.

The scorched earth is as big as the world; The world is so big that it is not the king's land.

In short, like the imperial capital, the county town also implements a curfew, but the two of them do not have the habit of touching the road at night, even if the two of them came from a place where Qin Feng didn't know where it was, trekking through mountains and rivers, and went to the imperial capital to save Zi Ranran's mother...... But they are not so poor as to steal money at night.

In fact, judging from Zilong's spirit of touching a spirit stone in his pocket, even if they are poor, they are not poor in the general sense, but the kind of poverty that is so poor that they only have money left, and they are so poor that they have money and no land to spend......

Qin Feng and Zilong, Zi Ranran chatted with each other, pulled skins, and talked with some endless taste.

Qin Feng really wanted to understand the customs here, at least to facilitate his next move.

"So, Brother Zilong, what's the fastest transportation we have here?" Qin Feng raised his head and asked.

"Means of Transportation...... Senior Qin is talking about carriages and horses, right? Zilong picked up the candlestick and lit the wick with the aura of heaven and earth, the candle flame swayed slightly, shining on Zilong's old face, "If it is an ordinary person, the fastest means of transportation is the dragon horse, a hybrid between the real dragon and the horse, traveling thousands of miles a day, the light and shadow are floating, and the horse's mane is like a flame!" If you want to buy it, you need dozens of spirit stones, I can't afford it, I don't know if my predecessors can do it. ”

"Oh, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while." Qin Feng waved his hand and said with a smile, "What about the unusual?" ”

What is it...... After a while?

Why, you can afford it later? What do you want to do, senior?

Zilong didn't have time to think deeply about what Qin Feng said "later" implied a bad meaning, he just nodded and said:

"The unusual means of transportation is the suspended building boat, each slurry is made of spars, which can swing the spiritual energy tide in the air and make the building boat float in the air. There is also a stone beast at the stern of the suspended building ship, and the stone beast's mouth spews out compressed spiritual energy flames, and the suspended building ship can get rid of the gravitational pull of the earth and fly faster than the fastest dragon in the air! ”

"If you want to use this thing to get to the imperial capital, how many days will it take?"

"One day and one night, if you take the suspended building boat over, it will definitely be a spark and lightning all the way!" Zilong said slowly, "It's just that four baskets of spirit stones will be consumed in one day and one night, and if the stove burns for a long time, it will explode, and it may be necessary to dock the ship for a few hours in the middle......

When Qin Feng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he directly ignored all the side effects: "Is there any such thing in Tianlong County?" Also, will you open it? ”

If there is one in Tianlong County, then Qin Feng doesn't have to think about anything, just steal it and drive away!

Consuming four baskets of spirit stones a day is not a troublesome matter, anyway, Qin Feng can grab it......

Anyway, Qin Feng's life creed is: walking, it is impossible to walk, no matter what, it is impossible to walk in this life. I don't want to waste so much time, so I can only set off like this by robbing other people's dragon horses and building boats.

"I will drive the building boat, as long as it is a cultivator, you can use the aura to control the building boat, but you need to unlock the building boat. But I don't know if there are any ships in the county,......" Zilong said.

Zilong replied with a wry smile, thinking to himself, this senior from the West, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll treat him as an encyclopedia?

Why do you ask everything...... How could he possibly know if there was a building ship in Tianlong County?

Forty years ago, when he took his son and daughter-in-law to hide in the Great Wilderness Mountain, there was not even a county town here! I'm just an old man who has missed the rapid development of the world......

"Grandpa, I'm sleepy and want to sleep." Zi Ranran pulled Zilong's sleeve and said aggrievedly.

There were no pedestrians outside the window, the curfew was about to start, and Ran Ran was sleepy.

"Okay, okay," Zilong replied, and then said to Qin Feng, "Let's rest early, recuperate enough energy, and then we have to go to the imperial capital to hurry." ”

After speaking, Zilong brought the candlestick to the center of the table steadily, but did not fall asleep immediately, but silently stayed by Zi Ranran's side.

There was a curfew in the city of Tenryu, and in fact, all the city-states under the rule of the imperial capital had a curfew. The curfew was implemented from one watch to three o'clock, and after the curfew began, the 12 teams of watchmen walked along the main road of the city, walked through the streets and alleys, banged on small gongs, and shouted at the top of their voices: "The weather is dry and dry, be careful of fire candles, prevent thieves and thieves, close the doors and windows!" ”

Before the watchman really fights, the gate of Tianlong County City must first be taken back.

The gate of the city is not simply taken away, first of all, the beacon tower set up on the wall of the county city must be lit, when the beacon is in the sky, the two patrols during the day are withdrawn, and the twelve patrols at night are supplemented, which is the twelve heavenly dry brigade - at least the Tianlong county lord called it.

Then the trebuchet was pushed up, and the stone rolling machine was pushed up, and even the patrol, each of them carried three or five quivers.

There may be strange beasts attacking the city at night. Although the beacon fire was lit to expel the beasts, and there were still hundreds of dragon and tiger beasts with true dragon blood locked on the city wall as guardian beasts, there were still brave and fat beasts to attack.

Night defense is a top priority.

Then you can close the city gates, and at the same time as the city gates, beat 600 closed door drums, as a reminder of the curfew, but also to remind those who beat the guard that they should go to the street to play the watch.

Then, the curfew, begins.

In the distance, there was a thick and dignified drum sound, one after another, three beats, like a germinating spring thunder, like a continuous rainstorm washing, endless! Booming, imposing! All of a sudden, even the candlesticks on the table shook slightly, and the candlelight swayed!

Boom Boom! Boom Boom! Boom Boom! ……

Qin Feng, who lives in a peaceful and wonderful modern age, has never heard this kind of drum, this kind of drum sound happened in the far, distant past, locking people in the deep pavilion, every beating is like beating the past and the pride of the ancient civilization thousands of years ago.

One by one, it hit the heart and the heart.

By the time the 600 closed-door drums were beaten, a full five minutes had passed.

There was no one on the street at this time, and rats crossing the street, thieves in the middle of the night, and prostitutes who were sneaking in their business would come out at a later time.

Groups of watchmen came out from afar, distributed in the streets and alleys of the county town, sounded small gongs, pulled their throats, shouted hoarsely:

"It's dry, be careful of candles, prevent thieves and thefts, close doors and windows! The weather is dry, be careful of fire candles, prevent thieves and thefts, close doors and windows! ……”

Qin Feng carefully lifted the futon, stood up, looked at the county town with sporadic lights in the night, and said secretly in his heart:

It's time.
