Chapter 172: Arriving at the Imperial Capital

The sound of frogs chirping and the earthy scent of the fields are accompanied by the night breeze and the shouting of the surrounding people, and the lights on both sides of the streets are dotted like jewels on the curtain called night, and it is a wonderful experience to be in this kind of urban bustle and the tranquility of the countryside.

Many people did not stop and continued to move forward, and it will not take long to enter the territory of Gyeonggi, and for some people who are in Beijing for the first time, the mood is somewhat eager.

Zhang Zhongjun naturally does not belong to this type of person, he slowly moves forward by himself, the big frog does not smoke, squatting on the top of Zhang Zhongjun's head and looking around, seeing that there is something new, then he grabbed Xiaobai who was a satellite and stuffed it under its buttocks, and then flew over to check on Xiaobai.

Although Xiaobai protested every time, he even hid in Zhang Zhongjun's arms and couldn't come out.

It's a pity that he didn't hide for a few seconds, and he automatically appeared as a satellite again, and naturally caught the big frog as a mount, and then was driven to end the liberation, Xiaobai cried and hid with big cute eyes, and fell into repetition again and again. Anyway, in Zhang Zhongjun's opinion, the big frog and the little white are having a lot of fun.

However, Zhang Zhongjun was a little strange: "Senior brother, does Xiaobai also have the ability to hide? I don't think anyone else has discovered Xiaobai's existence at all." ”

"Of course, otherwise you'll have a rotating satellite hanging around all day long, and it's too eye-catching, wouldn't you be comfortable hiding like this?" said the big frog proudly.

Zhang Zhongjun was naturally very satisfied with this state, so he walked all the way, and before he knew it, he had reached the end of this road.

"Is this the checkpoint to enter Gyeonggi? You knew it before you came to Gyeonggi, what do you know?" asked the frog curiously.

"Hehe, senior brother, don't you know a lot about the affairs of the empire?" Zhang Zhongjun asked with a smile.

"How did I know that there would be so much imperial common sense in my head, but now I don't have the information of the Gyeonggi checkpoint in my head!" the big frog muttered dissatisfiedly, but it didn't ask, as a senior brother, he had to be dignified, and he couldn't let Zhang Zhongjun, the junior brother, be proud!

The checkpoint in Gyeonggi is very grandiose, and the enlarged wind and rain bridge is just built directly on the official road. The front is an archway-style attic, flanked by an inexplicably ferocious stone carving monster, and hanging above the attic is a plaque with the words "Shanxi Nanjinggi Checkpoint".

People and horses pass under the towering checkpoint, you can see the towering tile shed overhead, and the two sides above are the restaurants hanging outward, many people park their livestock vehicles on the first floor, that is, on both sides of the official road, but people drink and eat on the second floor, and from time to time look down at the crowd passing on the first floor, but there is also an inexplicable feeling.

The big frog was a little stunned: "Damn! This is a combination of the land wind and rain bridge plus the checkpoint and the post station! You used to offer treasure just to let Lao Tzu see this?!" After the big frog reacted, he was a little angry.

"Who told you to watch this. Zhang Zhongjun pouted: "Follow along!"

Riding a horse through this three or four hundred meters long land wind and rain bridge, to the exit, there are more than a dozen water curtains, and finally the relevant Ding guards, when the people and horses pass, the people who stay in the car must come out and accept the washing of this water curtain.

"What is this?" the big frog glared at in surprise.

"No, it's used to determine the number of outsiders entering Gyeonggi and to identify criminals who have smuggled into Gyeonggi. Zhang Zhongjun said indifferently as he rode through the water curtain.

"This water curtain doesn't even wet clothes, it's just a layer of smell that ordinary people can't smell on living beings, and it's staying for too long, isn't it? If nothing else, it can stay for more than a hundred years! Who made this? It's a waste of resources!" the big frog croaked while touching the paper-thin water curtain.

It is said that the animals living in Gyeonggi are accustomed to this kind of smell, and as long as strangers have this smell, as long as they don't steal chickens and dogs, they won't cause animal reactions, but if they don't have such a smell, they will cause livestock and poultry to attack irritably. Gyeonggi has added countless people to be vigilant and monitor outsiders. When leaving the Gyeonggi territory, you can remove the smell by brushing the water curtain again from the checkpoint you went out. ”

"It can be said that as long as you don't leave, the smell will stay on your body, and if you want to get rid of it, you have to leave the Gyeonggi territory. It is said that after the appearance of this kind of water curtain, the security of Gyeonggi has improved I don't know how many times, and this thing looks so expensive, but it is just a drop in the bucket for the Gyeonggi Yamen. Zhang Zhongjun explained casually.

"Whoa, cow! Doesn't this force outsiders to be smuggled in from other places? But this can only prevent ordinary people, right? Some of the more well-known ones can directly get items with that kind of taste, and they can enter and exit at will without passing through the checkpoints?"

"Those little thieves who were supposed to be guarded against, because these thieves are the culprits who consume most of their energy, and those capable cattle people are not the ones that the security yamen can manage. Zhang Zhongjun said with a smile.

"Lao Tzu thinks this is a bit too formalized, you see that you people just brush this water curtain when you pass the level, and you don't even check the documents, even if some thieves pass through the checkpoint, I'm afraid they won't be discovered, right?" said the big frog disdainfully.

"I don't know about this, anyway, the rules of brushing the water curtain at the checkpoint have existed for hundreds of years, and they have not been abolished, so I'm afraid there is any special meaning in this. Zhang Zhongjun said disappreciatively.

The big frog touched his chin and turned his head to look at the dozen or so water curtains set up at the exit of the checkpoint, and the crowd passed by one by one, nodding and muttering: "I'm afraid that this smell still contains some effect that we don't know." ”

"Who knows? Anyway, if you don't brush the water curtain, you will beat all kinds of animals as soon as you go out, and there will be a lot of trouble, we don't want to do anything bad, just brush a layer of smell and brush a layer of taste, and wait for us to visit our father-in-law, see the auction, and get the contact information of the Black Ice Platform from the shadow gate, then leave the imperial capital, and then cross the water curtain to brush the smell away, isn't it?" Zhang Zhongjun can see it very clearly, the last time Xiao Dezi was ordered to inspect the five northwestern countries, he told him about his father asking Li Mude to recognize him as a righteous son, he himself did not have such a big prejudice against eunuchs, and it was his father's dying will, and he quickly accepted it.
