Chapter Ninety-Two: The Confucian City
Youzhou, the northernmost one from the nine major states of Chu State, has a total of ten cities in the region, of which seven cities are controlled by the Zhou family, which includes military deployment, food, clothing, housing and transportation, etc., that is absolute control, in those cities, the Zhou family is the absolute emperor of the soil, and the authority is monstrous.
It is said that the Zhou family originally developed from the Confucian City, and operated for countless years, the ancestral home and ancestral temple of the Zhou family are here, and most of the descendants of the Zhou family, excellent side branches, also live in the Confucian City.
The city has four distinct seasons, the climate is pleasant in spring and autumn, hot in summer, cold in winter, and a huge moat of more than ten zhang surrounds the whole city.
On the moat, there are nine suspension bridges, each thirty meters wide, made of extremely tough silk grass, dressed in dark green stone slabs, and bearing an astonishing weight.
If there is really any fighting, the pontoon bridge can be destroyed as soon as possible, delaying the pace of the opponent's attack, and gaining time to prepare.
The Zhou family has been operating in the city for thousands of years, and has long built the city as stable as an iron barrel, the whole city is 100 meters high, and the whole body is made of hard green steel stones.
……
"It's finally here!" Looking at the city gate a hundred meters away, Zhou Feng couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, it has been a full month and a half since Zhou Feng and them left the city, and at the beginning, everyone was still playing very leisurely, but later, they were afraid of delaying time, so they came non-stop, but it still took a month and a half, and an episode in Panlongling was automatically ignored by them.
It's all homesickness, but Zhou Feng doesn't have the slightest feeling like this, yesterday when he heard that he was about to arrive in Ruru City, he was a little flustered in his heart, but now, Zhou Feng's heart is surprisingly calm.
These days, Zhou Feng has always been in front of Zheng Changde, maintaining a rebellious and resentful teenager, which does not make Zheng Changde suspicious.
Wandering around with Zhou Wei during the day, and falling asleep on the carriage at night. In fact, Zhou Feng was communicating with Lan Lao with his mind.
……
"Great Elder!" With a bang, the hundred-member escort team under the city gate made a standard military salute. Through the curtains on the carriage, Zhou Feng saw the stoic expressions on the faces of these guards, and did not make the slightest flattery because of Zheng Changde, the great elder, which showed how strict his military discipline was.
"Release!" The person who looked like the head of the officer, with a wave of his big hand, an open passage appeared, and even the crowd of people who came and went consciously retreated to both sides, and they did not have the slightest temper in this regard, because a flag fluttering first, on which was written this vermilion Zhou character.
Zhou Feng found that in Ruru City, the brand of the Zhou family was really good, but on the bustling street, the convoy seemed to have entered a no-man's land, and the road was unimpeded.
"It's so bustling!"
Zhou Feng felt that he was really a country boy who had never seen the market, and looked at the crowds of people on the street, all kinds of shops, and the cries of selling one after another.
"Our Zhou family has always been a relatively open family, allowing foreign forces to open shops in the city, of course, we need to pay ground rent to the Zhou family every year, and there are certain taxes!" Seeing Zhou Feng's shock, Zheng Changde explained with a smile.
Zhou Feng nodded, and then smiled lightly, if it weren't for this, such a huge city, no matter how many Zhou family members there were, would not be able to operate to such a prosperous point as it is now.
When he walked another pillar of incense, he was already far away from the hustle and bustle of the town and walked into the northernmost part of the city.
The farther north, the fewer people there were, and a faint solemn pressure diffused in the air, making everyone who was originally noisy couldn't help but close their mouths, and they were all solemn, even if they spoke, they tried their best to lower their voices.
"Get out of the car!"
Zheng Changde also lost his former peace, and his voice was low and serious.
The crowd, who had been suffocating for a long time, jumped out of the carriage.
"This ...... It's the Zhou family! ”
Zheng Changde gestured to the buildings not far away and said in a deep voice.
Zhou's house, located in the north of the city, hidden in the mountains one after another, can only faintly see the red bricks and green tiles, from the white snow, between the green trees, giving people a sense of seclusion in the world, a sense of otherworldly mystery.
However, after everyone approached, the buildings hidden in the mountains gradually showed everyone her mystery, a hundred acres of square area, was completely occupied, and stretched to the depths of the mountain, solemn, majestic atmosphere, worthy of the momentum of the thousand-year-old family, savings.
"Zhou Mansion ......"
Two gilded characters hang high above the huge door, indicating the owner of the complex!
"Great Elder, it's just a group of juniors, why don't you need to run it yourself!" A middle-aged man dressed in brown clothes walked out, looking like a housekeeper.
Like other families, the Zhou family has many housekeepers, of course, many housekeepers are fictitious, and the person in front of him is no exception, just a fictitious housekeeper, and the thing he is usually responsible for is even more single, that is, to welcome guests.
However, this welcome is a fat bag, and some people who come to visit will give him a little benefit to a greater or lesser extent, so as not to be troubled.
Of course, this errand is not easy to do, you have to be very flexible, very good at observing words and feelings, because when dealing with all kinds of people, once you offend someone who can't be offended, then you don't even know how to die.
"Du Er, these little guys will be handed over to you, you should know what to do!" Zheng Changde's face did not change at all, and he coldly put down this sentence. "By the way, take care of Young Master Feng!" Zheng Changde pointed at Zhou Feng and said, without waiting for a reply, Zheng Changde nodded slightly to Zhou Feng, and then quickly stepped into the gate and disappeared into the corner of the high-walled compound.
"Young Master Feng?" The housekeeper named Du Er looked at Zhou Feng suspiciously, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, "Who is this kid?" It would make Elder Zheng value it so much! ”
For Elder Zheng Da to show closeness, how could Du Er not see it, and his heart couldn't help but become lively, "Could it be that this kid has been taken by Elder Zheng and wants to be accepted as a disciple?" …… Well, anyway, as long as you don't make evil! ”
After making up his mind, Du Er's face changed, becoming extremely soft, with a little flattery in his indifferent smile.
"Young Master Feng, young masters, please come with me!" Du Twenty took Zhou Feng's hand affectionately and led the way in front of him.
The hand was held, Zhou Feng's body couldn't help stiffening, he felt very uncomfortable, he tried a little, but he didn't pull it out, Zhou Feng's face changed slightly, and he no longer continued to exert force, letting Du Er hold it.
Busy for two days, two new orders were finally completed, Xiao Poison also breathed a sigh of relief, nothing went wrong, now the time is a little free, and he began to work the code word, live up to a few book friends who read books and cast flowers, thank you, every day when I log in, I see that the flowers have risen, although there are only about 2 to 10 flowers, but I am really happy in my heart, at least Xiao Poison knows, some people are still watching, and some people are still recognized!
