Volume 1 Flowers, Birds, Fish and Insects Chapter 36 Snow Jiao Thrush

Jinling, Inner City, Outer Guo.

After Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing and changed his name to Yingtian, he took the Wenchen military generals to survey the geography of Jinling, and began to build the Jinling city wall with the idea of "building a high wall and accumulating beams".

Starting from Chaoyang Gate in the east, facing south along Zhengyang Gate and Jubao Gate, all the way to Qingliang Gate on the Yangtze River side in the west, along the Yangtze River Dinghuai Gate and Shence Gate, sticking to the edge of Xuanwu Lake, Taiping Gate was built, going around and around, and returning to Chaoyang Gate.

It's easy to say, from the beginning of the construction to the emperor's beard, it took 30 years, hundreds of thousands of civilian workers, and hundreds of millions of bricks and stones to be completed.

Four zhang high, the bottom is as wide as three zhang, the arrow buttress fort stands in a forest, the horse can be put on the city wall to gallop, majestic and majestic, solid as gold.

Old Zhu Daxi, with a group of dragon sons and grandsons on Zhongshan Mountain, looked at Jinling City at his feet, quite proud,

"Boys, look at what our yard looks like, isn't it?"

The boys naturally bowed down and praised, and Zhu Di, the fourth eldest in the family, was fierce, pouted and glanced at Zhong Shan under his feet,

"Old man, if I set up two stone cannons on this mountain, where you sleep, you will be destroyed with one shot. ”

Lao Zhu trembled, looked down, sure enough, no matter how high the city wall is, it is not as high as the mountain, and below Zhongshan Mountain, it is the imperial city where he sleeps and works.

There is no way, Lao Zhu inhaled the cold air, swept around for a long time, stomped his feet fiercely, and built again!

The original Jinling City was a small circle, and Lao Zhu swiped his finger around this small circle, wrapped Zhongshan into it, and built a large circle.

The big circle starts from the Qilin Gate in the east, reaches the Jiagang Gate in the south, reaches the Jiangdong Gate in the west, and faces the Guanyin Gate in the north, which is the outer Guo of Jinling, and the small circle inside is called the inner city.

Now it's okay, Lao Zhu came to Zhongshan again, looked at the inner city and the outer Guo, thinking that the hundreds of thousands of defenders here were all elite troops recruited from all over the country, and he was very relieved, patted the shoulder of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, and went down the mountain to sleep in Xiaoling.

The fourth cannon's cannon was a few years late, but it still came after all, standing on the Qilin Gate, Tie Lingshuang looked back at the inner city of Jinling, like a black iron cage, wrapping the imperial city and palace into it, it was indeed solid, how could it be defeated so quickly?

If you persist for a few more months, Jinling City is in front, Jinan Mansion is behind, and the two sides are contained, even if it is dragged, Zhu Di will be dragged to ruin.

With a long sigh, Tie Lingshuang retracted his mind, looking at the Qilin Gate, people and cars came and went, the river was endless, and there were two stone Qilin outside the door, one left and one right, with both feet on the ground, a body of dragon scales, a forehead, a peaceful face, and a distant look.

"Shangguan, I'm going to take off my clothes too?"

The corners of his mouth were raised, Tie Lingshuang looked back at the city tower, the gate was hidden, and the majestic and rather anxious voice came from inside.

The two of them filled their stomachs in the Ziyun Building, of course, one was a delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the other was green vegetables and white noodles, all the way to Qilin Gate.

Liu Ting, the guard of Qilin Gate, is the brother-in-law of Zheng Sanguan, who was born with five big and three thick, and is full of meat, but when he saw Jinyiwei's waist card, he also quickly withdrew his ruffianism.

As soon as they approached Liu Ting, Tie Lingshuang and Qi Chen heard the light sound of the copper ball on their waists, glanced at each other, and were not in a hurry, they checked the Qilin Gate up and down, and even the two stone Qilin downstairs did not let go, and they couldn't find the slightest trace, so they closed the door and asked Qi Chen to check whether there were any marks on the guards one by one.

Now only Liu Ting is left in the gatehouse, and Jinling City is full of thugs, crawling out of the pile of dead people, stripped naked and seen all over the place, and the soldiers who came out are not shocked.

Liu Ting was more shy, mainly because the birthmark on his buttocks was too unworthy of his body, covering his buttocks, protesting loudly, Qi Chen grinned widely, hehe, hehe,

"Brother Liu, if the tigress outside the door rushes in, it will not look at the living person, and she will definitely not ask if she smashes it first and then picks up her clothes. ”

The man who didn't frown in the sea of swords and fire, his face was embarrassed, he bit and scolded, and leaned at Qi Chen while removing his armor,

"What kind of case is this investigating? I don't even believe my brothers in the army?"

Qi Chen shook his head, patted the long sword on his waist, sighed, and pretended to be sad and said,

"Don't spread the word about it, there are assassins in the imperial city, and they almost hurt our emperor, and it is said that there is a scar on his body, isn't this an order, if you can't catch it today, you won't see my brother tomorrow." ”

The bull's eye kicked and didn't ask much, knowing that it was top secret, Liu Ting took off his clothes much faster, brushed and brushed quietly, covered in black hair, like a bear.

After carefully inspecting the front and back, Qi Chen saw a dull birthmark on his left buttocks, the size of a copper coin, like a peony flower, quite exquisite, leaning closer, and was about to reach out and poke it, Liu Ting hurriedly put on his pants, his face was purple, and shouted,

"Are you alright?"

Qi Chen pointed to his boots, Liu Ting snorted coldly and threw off his boots, sat on the chair, raised his feet, and arrived impatiently,

"What assassin assassinated without clothes?"

ignored him, pinched his nose and looked at the soles of his feet for a while, then stood up and patted him on the shoulder,

"Brother Liu, the flower on your buttocks, when you visit the Qinglou, it is very popular. ”

Anyway, regardless of his flushed face, he laughed and went out.

Seeing Tie Lingshuang frowning and staring at him, Qi Chen quickly closed his mouth and shook his head, Tie Lingshuang's face sank, and he stopped talking, and the two of them stared at the Immortal Crane Gate in the distance.

According to legend, there was a crane from the nine days and fell, fell in Jinling, and then turned into a small mountain, the mountain shape resembles a crane, fluttering its wings and wants to fly, the descendants name this mountain is called the crane mountain.

Next to the crane gate of the outer Guo, a small hill, the east and west peaks are like wings, and the middle ridge is like a crane leaning up, it is the crane mountain.

The two of them walked along the city wall, until they walked to the crane gate, it was already sunset, two zhang away from the gatehouse, and there was a dinging sound on the waist, and the two were raising their eyebrows, and they heard the earth-shattering snoring sound coming from the gatehouse, which was quite a mountain.

"Can the Jinling City guards still sleep?"

Glancing at Qi Chen, who was muttering quietly, Tie Lingshuang sneered,

"The traitor Zhu Di has the strictest governance of the army, and the Jinyi guards are all over the place, this person will have his head cut off sooner or later. ”

Qi Chen was about to speak, a person came out of the door, carrying a silver spear in his hand, heard the sound of footsteps, looked sideways and saw Tie Lingshuang, his peach blossom eyes bent, and he came up,

"Lingshuang, why are you here?"

Turning his head sideways, he glanced at Tie Lingshuang, whose phoenix eyes were flickering with cold light, Qi Chen looked at the person in front of him, quite handsome and pretty, and with a pair of peach blossom eyes, he must be a flowery person.

Aiming at the silver spear in his hand, the six-foot silver-white body of the spear was mottled like scales, the head of the spear was cold and cold, and there were a few red spots scattered on the blade, like drops of blood, like a little plum blossom.

Glancing at the jet-black iron spear in Tie Lingshuang's hand and the long knife on her waist, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the black sword of the left commander and the black knife on the tigress's waist seemed to be a pair, and the silver-white spear with a small white face in front of her and the iron spear in her hand also looked like a pair, could it be this person?

Qi Chen was still muttering, the strong wind flashed in front of him, and he saw Tie Lingshuang on tiptoe, rushing forward, and the iron gun in his hand stabbed straight towards the man's shoulder.

With such an expression, the man's footsteps turned, and he floated obliquely, swept to Qi Chen's side, smiled at him, and avoided Tie Lingshuang.

Seeing that Tie Lingshuang didn't stop at all, turning around and sweeping the iron spear, Qi Chen scolded the two of them in his heart, flashed to the side, and didn't want the person behind him to have a very good foot work, and he followed suit, like a shadow, and couldn't get rid of it.

There was no way, he could only jump up and down, dodging Tie Lingshuang's spear, seeing that the surrounding guards were all around, Qi Chen turned over and flashed into the distance, regardless of the person hiding behind him, watching the spear stabbing straight over, shouting at Tie Lingshuang,

"Stop, stop, investigate, investigate!"

Sweating profusely, Qi Chen looked at Canglong crying blood and stopped in his chest, pinched the tip of the gun, took two steps back, Tie Lingshuang's eyes were cold, looked at the person behind Qi Chen, and said in a cold voice,

"Qin Fusu, give me back the snow thrush. ”

Qin Fusu looked at the silver spear in his hand, his face suddenly became gentle, he hid behind him, looked at Tie Lingshuang, and said softly,

"I don't give my life, I don't give my gun. ”

Seeing that Tie Lingshuang was about to get angry, Qi Chen hurriedly took two steps forward and whispered,

"Let's investigate the case, the little frog is important, I'll help you grab the gun when you go back." ”

Staring at Qin Fusu with a cold face and a pair of peach blossom eyes, Tie Lingshuang withdrew the iron gun, raised his waist card, and shouted at him,

"Jinyiwei investigates the case, go and call the people inside!"

Looking at the raised bronze waist card, Qin Fusu sighed and said softly,

"The general drank too much, I have been shouting for half an hour, and I haven't woken up, tell me something. ”

Raising his hand to stop Tie Lingshuang, who was about to get angry, he secretly sighed that this girl was deeply demonic, and she was really not suitable for dealing with the emperor's subordinates, Qi Chen whispered,

"It's better to check when you're asleep, just strip naked. I'll check and see if there's anything suspicious around you. ”

Even coaxed Tie Lingshuang away, looked at her around the city tower to check, walked downstairs along the stone stairs, shook his head, looked at Qin Fusu beside him, and began to pick up clothes again.

Cheng Kaishan, who was full of fat head, slept soundly, first had a big meal in the Ziqi Building today, and then went to the Nuan Yu Pavilion for a long time, and after returning to the city tower, he fell asleep with the help of the wine that came up.

When he was in Shuntian City, he was the doorman of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and when he arrived in Jinling City, he still looked at the gate, but he became the guard of the Crane Gate, and he did not enter the Liupin Captain, and he had great luck, Cheng Kaishan couldn't help but be complacent, let go of the meat, and let his body become full of brains and fat, drunk and dreamed of death.

Cheng Kaishan in the big dream naturally didn't know that he was picked up quietly, and he had some scars on his fat body, and it seemed that he was also a fierce general on the battlefield before.

Seeing Qi Chen skilfully picking up his boss, Qin Fusu shook his head, picked up the clothes on the ground, put on his armor, looked at the waist card swaying around his waist, and asked softly,

"Yin, Qi Chen, Zuo, Dong, your name is Qi Chen?

Qi Chen was carefully inspecting Cheng Kaishan, who was lying flat like a dead corpse, glanced sideways at Qin Fusu, and asked rhetorically,

"You two guns, a pair?"

Lifting his pants and slashing his belt, Qin Fusu reached out and grabbed the spear leaning against the wall, looking at the head of the spear as red as a plum, and the corners of his mouth raised.

Canglong weeps blood, Xuejiao thrush, it was originally a pair, it was Tie Xuan's uncle's gun, this Xuejiao thrush, it was a dowry, if there was no difficulty, he should have married Tie Lingshuang's sister, the girl who grew up together, but.

Seeing Qin Fusu staring at the silver spear with a memory expression, Qi Chen had seen it many times on Tie Lingshuang's face, and probably knew that there should be some story between the two, so he opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and still didn't ask, lowered his head and looked carefully.

If a person is drunk and sleeping, his whole body is weak and weak, Qi Chen looked at the stall of at least three hundred catties of fat on the bed, shook his head and sighed, there was no hair in his hair, every fat fold on his body was turned over, and there was no mark, so he could only take off his two pairs of military boots and pinch his nose to check them.
