187 Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses
Weijun City, the political center of Weiguo, the most prosperous city, and the only fifth-order city, the extraordinary features of it can certainly be imagined. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The moat, five zhang wide, was turbulent on it, like a rolling river, coiling around the foot of the city wall like a dragon, like an insurmountable chasm, blocking everyone outside.
The city wall is actually fifty zhang high, like a mountain standing in front of you, standing below and looking up, you can only feel that you are small, and even your breathing is a little depressed.
The city gate, solemn and majestic, magnificent, has the posture of holding the moon in the sky, seems to be an angry King Kong, makes people daunting, if the people with bad intentions, walking below will be frightened.
Of course, there are five gates in the fifth-order city, and in addition to the inner city gate, the outer city gate has four city gates, and it is only the east city gate in front of you.
To be honest, Yi Tian was indeed a little shocked, and at the same time, he made up his mind in his heart that when he returned to the city, he must speed up his development and upgrade to a third-order city as soon as possible.
At this time, the carriages and horses of Dongfang Ruoshui came slowly, and they were about to reach the front of the moat, and the pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and they seemed to be waiting to enter the city.
As the overlord of the princes of the outer city, even if it is Dongfang Ruoshui, he must dismount before entering the city, and he must not gallop in the city, which is an unwritten rule of the defense of the country, in order to show his sincerity to the defense of the country.
Moreover, there are also regulations for the entourage, like the city lord of the fourth-order city, the entourage shall not exceed 2,000 people, and there will be a designated place after entering the city, and all the war horses must be withheld, and they will all be returned when they leave the city.
In this way, it is to prevent accidents, lest there be ill intentions, if there is any trouble in the city, it can be suppressed immediately, so as to ensure the absolute safety of Weijun City.
Therefore, without waiting for the moat, everyone turned over and dismounted, and Nangong Crazy Knife did not wait for orders, so accompanied by several personal soldiers, he rushed to the front of the city gate, of course, to submit customs clearance documents.
As long as their identities are verified, they can enter the city immediately, and there is no need to queue here, and at the same time, the Ministry of Rites will send someone to greet them and arrange accommodation for them, which is the treatment of a prince.
But while waiting, there was an uproar in front of the city gate, and the road ahead immediately gave way, and the field of vision suddenly widened.
"What's going on?"
Yi Tian couldn't help but follow the prestige, but saw that on the road in front of him, there was a group of ox carts galloping over, although the speed was not fast, but it was uniform, and the cow's hooves landed at the same time, it seemed to be a little mechanical, it was really indescribably weird.
"This ......"
Yi Tian couldn't help but open his mouth wide, as if he didn't understand, there were hundreds of ox carts in front of him, who was driving these ox carts out of the city?
"I don't know!"
Dongfang Shengnan, who was beside him, saw his expression, and his expression immediately became a little disdainful, and he sneered and said, "You can see clearly, those are wooden oxen, which are used to transport resources. ”
"Wooden cow?"
Even if Yi Tiandang understood, he heard that a city with more than four sections can build a war workshop, which can produce wooden oxen, without any feeding, and can even travel 500 miles a day around the clock, especially its load is excellent.
Ordinary mule carts can carry no more than 100 stones, but an ox cart can carry thousands of stones.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at it again, and sure enough, he saw that those wooden cows were lifelike, but after all, they had no aura, and they looked quite dull and mechanical, just like puppet beasts.
At the same time, there are two teams of cavalry guarding both sides of the ox cart, there are about a thousand or so people, and they are all cavalry dressed in gold and sharp, but the horses under their crotch are a little strange, although they are like flowing water, they seem to be more agile than ordinary spirit horses, but they do not have any vitality, and they are actually puppet beasts.
"Flowing horses?"
In an instant, even if Yi Tiandang understood, this was also a product of the war workshop, he didn't eat any water and rice, and he didn't need to rest, he could travel thousands of miles a day, and compared with any spirit horse, it was not inferior at all.
It seems that the high-level city is indeed powerful, the war workshop can give birth to wooden oxen and flowing horses, wooden cattle are used to transport resources, and flowing horses can be used to form cavalry.
When this team of wooden oxen and horses passed, Nangong Crazy Knife also brought back a message, and the guards in front of the city gate came to greet them in person, and let the guards open the way to escort them along the way, and welcomed the men and horses of Dongfang Ruoshui into the city.
As soon as he walked into the East City Gate, the officials of the Ministry of Rites heard the news, and the princes of the outer city came to meet them, of course, they were responsible for entertaining, but this was also for the Peacock City Lord, and other people may not have such qualifications.
However, when he walked into Weijun City, it was also the time to part ways.
Dongfang Ruoshui, of course, is to be arranged in the Hospitality Pavilion, which is used to entertain VIPs, all of whom are big people with faces in the country, and there are also visiting envoys from other countries, without a certain status, even if there are more Yuan Shi, but don't want to live in it.
Moreover, although the Waiting Pavilion is also in the outer city, the guards in it are also quite strict, and there are strict requirements for the entourage, after all, the people living inside are all dignitaries and nobles to avoid any unnecessary accidents.
As the city lord of the fourth-order city, Dongfang Ruoshui can only have fifty followers, and the rest of the people must of course make other arrangements, and camp within the range designated by the military department, usually not far from the military camp in the city, if there are any misdeeds, they can be suppressed with thunder.
Therefore, the team of Nangong Crazy Dao and Niu Kaishan could only obey the arrangement, and under the military officials guarding the city, they went to camp at the place that had already been designated.
This time, Yi Tian has become a lonely person, and he is not from Peacock City, if he follows Dongfang Ruoshui to the Waiting Pavilion, this is obviously a little inappropriate, if he reports his own family, with his current status, he is not qualified to live in the Waiting Pavilion.
If you follow Nangong Crazy Dao and Niu Kaishan, it is even more inappropriate, and under the surveillance of the military department, everything is tied, and it is extremely inconvenient to think about it.
Therefore, although it is said that they are walking all the way, they must not be separated at this time, even if they want to stay, they can't stay, and Dongfang Shengnan's eyes are like looking at flies, and they can't follow left and right with a thick skin.
After saying goodbye, Yi Tian had to go on the road alone, throwing himself into the weaving of pedestrians, in this strange city, he will face all the difficulties alone.
At this time, on his shoulder, he was carrying the body of the iron-winged eagle, which was originally going to be left to Nangong Crazy Dao and Niu Kaishan, but these two didn't dare to ask for anything, so they could only find a way to dispose of it themselves.
At the same time, in his arms, there were two small jade bottles, which were sent by Dongfang Ruo as a parting gift, and Yi Tian vaguely guessed that it should be filled with elixir.
However, as long as it is sent by the East, even if it is an empty bottle, it is enough to conquer anyone's heart, including him, of course.
