Chapter 257: The University Scholar Enters the City
The griffin knight was too conspicuous, if he openly appeared in Zhongzhou City, wouldn't it tell everyone that Wang Cheng had sent an army over? If Chu Tian took extreme actions, I am afraid that the people of the city would be implicated!
It is best to arrest Chutian unknowingly, and try not to cause a riot in Zhongzhou as much as possible.
"Don't startle the snake, you hide the mount and respond, and then infiltrate the main city of Zhongzhou, find out Chu Tian's whereabouts, and then wait for the opportunity to capture him in one fell swoop!" Gu Qianqiu arranged a task for Cao Bao and them: "After the Nanzhou Quartet arrives, we will call Chu Tian to him and send him to the royal city for trial!"
"The University Scholar ......"
"Just take people, I'm responsible for collecting evidence of Chutian's crimes. ”
"Yes!"
"Chu Tian is extremely arrogant and tyrannical, I am afraid that there are masters hidden around him, and even the envoy of the Nangong family's true soul-level strength has been abolished, you must be careful when you act!"
"Rest assured, we promise to complete the task!"
"Go ahead!"
The selection of knights of the royal palace is extremely strict and harsh, not only the strongest knights in the kingdom, but also brave and resourceful for battles in various situations, any member sent to the elite Storm Cavalry Regiment can be qualified as the captain of the Thousand Cavalry Brigade of the Storm Cavalry.
This is the special operations force of the Southern Xia Kingdom, it is just a person to kidnap, what is the difficulty for them?
Cao Bao led the knights of the palace under his command to go first, and immediately infiltrated Zhongzhou City in disguise.
Gu Qianqiu passed through the port of Zhongzhou and landed into the city normally as a traveling scholar. However, when Gu Qianqiu arrived at the port of Zhongzhou City, he was immediately completely stunned by what he saw.
Of the eight major counties in Southern Xia, which one of Gu Qianqiu has not been to?
The scale of Qingzhou port is the largest, because Qingzhou is the national resource production area, resource transportation is very developed, Qingzhou port ferry perennial berthing 200 large ships, from the scene is very spectacular.
When I came to Zhongzhou today, I was surprised to find that the scale of Zhongzhou port was twice as large as before, at least three or four hundred large ships were berthed, and one or two thousand stevedores were busy in the sky, and the scene was very shocking!
What's even more surprising is that Zhongzhou Terminal is still expanding, and in about half a month, the scale of the port will be doubled again!
It's a scene of the shipping trade thriving and rich!
When did Zhongzhou become so developed?
Near Zhongzhou City, countless factories are even more busy, animal carts drag materials in and out, and all kinds of finished products are constantly transported to the warehouse, a prosperous and prosperous scene.
Weird, weird.
More than half a month has passed since the Zhongzhou Rebellion.
Instead of any decay, Zhongzhou City has become more prosperous than before, which is really an incredible phenomenon. When Gu Qianqiu was stunned, he suddenly felt that the sky was sinking, and when Gu Qianqiu raised his head, his jaw almost fell to the ground.
What is it?
Three oval-shaped, giant ball-like giants in the sky were slowly coming from one direction at a fairly fast speed. Gu Qianqiu had never seen anything like this, it looked like a hot air balloon, but it was certainly not an ordinary hot air balloon, because this thing was very fast, and it obviously had a strong power system.
Each oval dome is hung with a basket that looks like a container.
Gu Qianqiu watched the "Dome" slowly float outside Zhongzhou City, a large warehouse stopped steadily, and then slowly sank, when it was less than three meters from the ground, the container-like basket was opened, and two people stood up and threw bags of heavy ore in front of the warehouse.
The three "giant eggs" carried an astonishing amount of cargo, and they were piled up into a small mountain.
When the goods were unloaded, the dome slowly floated up again and slowly left in one direction.
Gu Qianqiu's heart was shocked and difficult to describe in words, and as a scholar, he was always full of curiosity about new things.
He walked to the front of the warehouse and saw that the moving workers were busy, and asked curiously: "Little brother, what are these things flying in the sky?"
"You've just come to Zhongzhou City!" a hardcover worker held a cigarette roll in his mouth, grinning but very proud, and said: "This thing can also be seen in Zhongzhou, this is called a miracle empty boat, and the loading volume is almost comparable to a small cargo ship!"
"That's right! These ores were sent from Tiannan City. What do you call it......"
"Shadow Stone!"
"Yes, yes, that's it. ”
"This miracle airship flew directly to the mine to load, and then sent it far away to Zhongzhou City. ”
"You must know that the mine is in the deep mountains and old forests, and the beast cart can't enter it at all, if you want to transport the ore from it to Tiannan City, don't mention how laborious it is, let alone transport it from Tiannan City to Zhongzhou City, the whole process can't be reached in seven days or ten days, and it's not safe! With this miracle empty boat, the efficiency of mining and transportation is simply ten times higher!"
It's amazing!
It's definitely an air cargo carrier with an important purpose!
In this era, resources are so abundant that in fact, there are not many resources that can be mined in a kingdom, even in a small country. Most of them are due to geographical or environmental factors, and there is no way to dig them.
For example, Qingling in Qingzhou.
That's the largest resource area in the Southern Xia Kingdom!
Nowadays, the degree of development is less than a few hundredths of the resources surveyed, why? It is nothing more than high mountains and water risks, difficult to enter, difficult to transport, so we can only see but not mine!
"With this empty boat, wouldn't it be a substitute for ship shipping? ”
"Not really, although the loading volume of the empty ship is not small, it is far worse than that of the big ship. In addition, the empty boat has a limited range and is only suitable for transportation within states and counties, and cannot be used for intercontinental transportation. ”
Another worker interjected: "What are you anxious about, the People's Miracle Chamber of Commerce has just built an empty ship, and there are only three ships in the world, not now, won't it be in the future?"
"That's right, that's right. ”
"What else can't the Miracle Chamber of Commerce do?"
One by one, these workers were talking and discussing, and their faces were full of worship for the Miracle Chamber of Commerce.
Gu Qianqiu fell silent, the appearance of this kind of empty boat is really of great significance, although this miracle Chamber of Commerce and Chu Tian have done all kinds of evil, they still have some ability!
Gu Qianqiu took this opportunity to ask again: "I heard that Zhongzhou is in chaos now, is there such a thing?"
"Zhongzhou is in chaos!" These workers glared: "Zhongzhou used to be quite chaotic, those nobles were pressed on it, and it was difficult for us to even breathe." Since the Miracle Chamber of Commerce defeated the three major families, the atmosphere in Zhongzhou has become much more relaxed, and even the other small and medium-sized nobles have become kind. In less than half a month, our salary has tripled!"
"Yes, my son can go to Zhongzhou College, all thanks to the scholarship provided by the Miracle Chamber of Commerce Charity Fund!" a middle-aged man looked happy, "The tuition fees have been paid by the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, and now the amount of money he earns is his own, and his life has become better." In the future, when my son comes out of school, he will definitely let him work in the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, and he will be glorious!"
"Sir, we still have to work, if there is nothing else, please let go!"
"That's right, that's right, the Miracle Chamber of Commerce gives us such a high salary, and we have to work hard to repay it. ”
Gu Qianqiu was a little stunned.
Judging by the eyes and expressions of these workers, these words definitely came from the heart.
This is completely different from what Gu Qianqiu expected!
Tens of thousands of casualties were killed and injured in the Zhongzhou Rebellion, the three major families were wiped out, and the balance of power suddenly collapsed, which was enough to cause large-scale panic in Zhongzhou, and all ethnic groups would also take the opportunity to swallow each other, and Zhongzhou should be a chaotic scene.
What's more, Chu Tian led the water thieves into the city!
These thieves have been entrenched in Sizhou Lake for a long time, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
Who knows, instead of being hot and watery, Zhongzhou City has become more prosperous than before, the people are not chaotic, and life is better than before.
Is there a discrepancy between the information and the actual situation?
In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Chu Tian launched a water thief attack on the city, causing the Zhongzhou Rebellion, privately annexing the three major families, and severely damaging the envoy of the royal city! These few charges are enough for him to die a hundred times!
He insulted Gu Qianqiu's disciples, and even insulted Gu Qianqiu himself, which was a provocation to the university scholar himself!
Either way, we must arrest him!
Cao Bao and they have already acted, and it is estimated that they will be able to catch Chutian soon, and the Quartet will soon rush to Zhongzhou, so I should hurry up and collect the evidence!
Gu Qianqiu did not continue to wander outside the city, but went directly into Zhongzhou City to investigate and collect evidence.
At dusk, the city of Zhongzhou gradually dimmed.
Strange, why are the roadside spar lights gone?
When Gu Qianqiu's eyes swept the streets and alleys, the main city was originally equipped with spar lights, but now all of them have been artificially demolished, and strange tower-like objects have been replaced.
The tower-like building is about a foot tall and is topped by a large glass ball.
Isn't there any light in Zhongzhou City?
Hmph, what a Chutian, even the lights have been removed, isn't it very unsafe for the city's people to live at night? This is obviously not taking the lives of the city residents to heart!
Write it down, write it down!
In fact, the lack of public facilities in the city has something to do with Chutian, is this the responsibility of the city lord? Gu Qianqiu thinks that it was Chutian who disturbed Zhongzhou, so it caused the destruction of public facilities, and it should also be his responsibility!
Gu Qianqiu hasn't written it down yet.
Suddenly, a bright light crossed the surroundings, and the entire Zhongzhou City seemed to be ignited in an instant, all the streets were bright, and the light illuminated the streets as bright as day!
Gu Qianqiu was so frightened that he retreated: "What is this?!"
"Haha, where did the hillbilly come from!" an adult led a little girl to walk down the street, and the little girl was amused by Gu Qianqiu's appearance, "I don't even know the electric light, shame, shame!"
The adult also showed disdain, but said, "Girl, how can you be so rude? ”
Gu Qianqiu looked embarrassed: "What's going on with this electric light?"
"This is the invention of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, and the cost is very low, except for Tiannan City, Zhongzhou City has the most. The townspeople all said proudly: "In order to improve the lives of the city's residents, the Miracle Chamber of Commerce is ready to help build 5,000 lighthouses, and even the slums have them, so our lives are much more convenient." ”
This big and small disdainful of continuing to talk nonsense with the turtle, and went shopping and playing on their own.
Gu Qianqiu looked at the city in front of him with a blank face, this city was brightly lit in an instant, and the top of the original tower-like building bloomed with bright light from the glass ball. This light is much brighter than that of the spar, and the lighting effect is very stable!
Electric light, a fully automatic lighting tool?
Gu Qianqiu didn't find any signs of manipulation, and it was automatically turned on according to the intensity of the sensing light, not simple, really not simple...... When did so many interesting things appear in Zhongzhou City?
However, this is not much use.
It's nothing more than a replacement for a hedron lamp!
Gu Qianqiu didn't believe it, Chu Tian had committed such a big thing, could he not even find a little evidence of guilt?
There must be!
