Volume 2 Setting Foot in Meilan Chapter 14 Entering the Capital for the First Time

When Fang Yunming and the others sat on the car, the people on the ground were waving their hands to greet them and shouting long live, and the people looked up and watched their emperor's car flying in the sky.

And around the car, surrounded by the civil and military officials and honor guards guarding the emperor, it was like the stars and the moon.

Seeing this, Fang Yunming and Moon looked at each other, and they felt that the hierarchy of this country should be more strict.

Just imagine, in the feudal society of the earth, although the rulers are endowed with all kinds of mysterious political colors, they are not fundamentally different from ordinary people.

When a nobleman and a commoner meet, they should be on the same plane, but the commoner may walk and the nobleman may ride a horse or ride a car, and this is the difference between them.

But in this country on this planet, the nobles can really stay on the heads of the commoners and be powerful.

Because they have the ability to fly above the heads of the commoners, and the commoners can only look up at the noble lords who fly above their heads.

At this time, Cheng Mingci poked his head out and waved his arms to accept the cheers of the people, and when the car flew to the outer city of the imperial city, Cheng Mingci returned to the carriage from outside the car.

Cheng Mingci looked at Fang Yunming and asked, "How do you feel about my country?"

The two of them smiled slightly, and Fang Yunming said with a smile: Your Majesty's status in the hearts of the people should be very lofty, and you can see that your subjects love you very much.

Cheng Mingci smiled and nodded, and then asked: I have a question I want to ask the two of you, I don't know if it's okay.

The two of them nodded, and Cheng Mingci asked: I don't know how far the Earth Federation in the mouth of the two of you is from my Xia Yuan?

Moon smiled and said: It should be 20 billion light-years away from the planet where His Majesty is located.

Cheng Mingci asked suspiciously: How many are 20 billion light years?

Moon couldn't answer this question, because he really didn't know how to tell the supreme ruler of the earth in front of him how far away 20 billion light years was.

However, Fang Yunming, who was sitting on the side, replied with a smile: 108,000 miles.

Fang Yunming's answer surprised Cheng Mingci, because in his impression, 108,000 miles was a very long distance.

And the reason why Fang Yunming answered like this is because he doesn't know how to describe how far 20 billion light years is.

On the opposite side is, after all, the supreme head of state who rules a country, and you can't help but answer his question, so he thought that the ancient Chinese always liked to use imaginary numbers to represent a far away or very high, very big thing.

Looking at these Xia Yuan people, whether it is clothing, architectural style or language vocabulary, there are many imaginary places with ancient China, so Fang Yunming also gave an imaginary number.

Just when Cheng Mingci wanted to continue to ask, a voice came from outside the car and said: Your Majesty, we have entered the inner city, and the car is about to land, please change to the imperial chase.

Cheng Mingci smiled and said: I didn't expect it to arrive so soon.

At this time, the curtain was opened from the outside, Cheng Mingci took the lead in walking out of the car, and there was a huge sedan chair on the ground outside the car, the style of the sedan chair was similar to the style of the car, but the sedan chair was much taller than the car, just like a small palace, the sedan chair was three feet high, two feet and six feet wide, the beams were arched, the background color of the whole sedan chair was bright yellow, extremely luxurious, and there were thirty-two sturdy soldiers standing around the sedan chair, each of these soldiers was wearing bright armor, standing next to the sedan chair with bare hands, Fang Yunming knew that this thing was called the imperial sedan chair, he turned his head and told the name and use of the huge sedan chair to Moon who was standing next to him。

At this time, an attendant came to Cheng Mingci's front and stretched out his hand to help Cheng Mingci to the side of the tall imperial bowl, Cheng Mingci stretched out his hand and boarded the imperial bowl with the support of the inner attendant, of course, at this time, Fang Yunming They are not qualified to board the imperial bowl, because the imperial bowl is only sat by the emperor on formal occasions, even if the emperor usually sits in a car, so even if Cheng Mingci admires these people from the Earth Federation very much, he will not invite them to follow him to board the imperial bowl.

Similarly, Fang Yunming probably knows these rules, it is better not to be familiar if people don't take the initiative to invite, after all, their words and deeds represent the planet behind them, and in the same way, they don't want to give each other unnecessary misunderstandings, so being cautious in words and deeds is the code of conduct that Fang Yunming tells his subordinates.

When Cheng Mingci boarded the imperial palace, the main gate of the inner city of the imperial city, Chenghua Gate, was opened by sixty military men from the inside, when Fang Yunming and Moon they really stood under the huge city wall, they looked up at the tall city wall in surprise, the style of the city wall is exactly the same as the style of the ancient Chinese city wall, the difference is that the Chinese city wall is generally not so tall, the city wall of more than 400 meters high seems to be so majestic, and Fang Yunming, who is standing under the city wall, they feel that they are so small, although the outer city wall of Shangjing City is also very tall, but because of who they are in a hurry to enter Shangjing City with Cheng Xiuyi and others at that timeEverything seemed to be in such a hurry that they didn't have time to take a closer look at the tall walls.

In addition, later they directly boarded Cheng Mingci's car and flew in the air, so they did not have an intuitive impression to feel the majesty of the city, and now when they stood under the inner city of Shangjing, they really felt the majesty and height of this capital.

Fang Yunming thought in his heart, how did they do it, it is not impossible to build such a tall city wall on the earth, the skyscraper earth that is even more difficult than this can be done more than a hundred years ago, but at that time, there were high-tech tools to assist, and looking at the current production tools of this country, it should still be very backward, because even their army uses cold weapons to fight, not to mention civilian equipment, so how did they do it?

There were many others who thought the same way, including his comrade Wang Junke, Sylvester from France and Ludwig from Germany, two of whom were mechanical experts and the other was an architect and brilliant engineer, and it was hard to imagine that when they saw the huge wall, they were full of infinite curiosity about the machinery used to build the wall and the method of construction.

Just when everyone was still amazed by this, they heard a piercing voice shouting: Your Majesty returned to the palace and moved to the Diheng Palace, at this time, Xia Yuan's civil and military officials followed Cheng Mingci's car and walked towards the Diheng Palace.

Just when Fang Yunming and the others were about to follow, Cheng Xiuyi came to Fang Yunming and said to everyone, "Your father just now ordered me to lead you to the post house to rest first, and when Shen Shi comes, I will lead everyone to the Emperor Heng Hall to attend the dinner."

At this time, Ewang Junke, who was standing in the crowd, said on the side: Your Royal Highness Princess, there is no hurry to rest, I don't know if it is convenient for you to lead us to visit your capital now?

Cheng Xiuyi smiled when she heard this and said: Of course there is no problem, I think we will start from the inner city of this imperial city, and everyone is very happy to hear this, because they can really understand the customs of this country by visiting this city, and can better lay a solid foundation for the future.

Originally, Cheng Xiuyi did not need to personally lead these people to visit the entire city, but Cheng Xiuyi was also very curious about these people who claimed to be from outside the world, and she also hoped to better understand these people through this tour, so Cheng Xiuyi readily agreed to Wang Junke's request just now.

So under the leadership of Cheng Xiuyi, everyone began to visit the entire Xia Yuan Imperial Capital from the center of the entire Xia Yuan Empire, the inner city of the Imperial City, but the process Xiuyi introduced: If you want to complete the entire Shangjing City, that day is difficult to complete, it will take at least ten days, even if it takes two days to visit the entire Inner City of the Imperial City, not to mention that the entire Shangjing City is divided into the Inner City of the Imperial City, the outer city of the Imperial City, the inner city and the outer city have a total of four layers, the more you go out, the larger the area, and ten days of time are enough to complete the tour.

Therefore, Cheng Xiuyi said to them: I don't think it's as good as this, now it is less than half an hour before the start of the Shenshi banquet, I still lead you to the post house to rest for a while, after all, you helped me to repel the attack of the beast and demon coalition, and my body should be very tired, so you should take a rest, and if the enemy does not come tomorrow, I will personally lead you to feel the scenery of the capital.

As soon as everyone heard that what they said made sense, they didn't ask for it, but Fang Yunming and they still made a small request to Cheng Xiuyi, that is, they hoped that Cheng Xiuyi could send them some books, especially books on history, geography, and customs, so that they could better understand Xia Yuan's style.

Cheng Xiuyi naturally accepted this request gladly, and in this way, everyone chatted and walked slowly, and came to the guest house used by Shangjing City to receive foreign envoys.

When they came to this guest house, the officials and service staff in charge of the reception of the entire guest house had been waiting at the door for a long time, they had already received the holy decree, and the holy decree told them that there would be a group of people from aliens who were going to stay here, these people helped Xia Yuan to repel those hateful beasts and demons, and they were our benefactors, so they must be entertained well, all things must be the best, and the people who came to pass the holy decree were the internal servants around the emperor, you must know that under normal circumstances, the work of passing the holy decree was done by some officials of the fourth or fifth grades。

If the palace attendants came to deliver the holy decree, it means that this matter was arranged by the emperor himself, so after these people received the holy decree, they immediately cleaned out the best rooms, and moved the best utensils to those rooms, they must show the best side of Xia Yuan in front of these alien people, and they must not lose the face of the great power of the Xia Yuan Celestial Empire.
