Chapter 11: The Royal City of Yizhou (1)
Yizhou City was originally a state-level city, and later after the land of Yizhou was given to Fang Zongao, it naturally became the royal city of Yizhou State, and after decades of development, the population has now reached one million, and the name of wealth and prosperity has spread all over the land.
Compared with Lucheng County, Yizhou City is more magnificent, the tall city wall seems to be connected to the sky, and it is originally located in the traffic artery, there are official roads in all directions, and the four major city gates in the southeast and north are full of traffic, and there is a steady stream of people pouring in.
Because it was the county guard of Lucheng County who led the team, there was no need to check at all to enter the city, and after entering the city, the group went straight to the Hulin Annex.
The Hulin Annex is built on the shore of the lake in the city, the scenery is very pleasant, it is specially prepared for horse racing matters, although it is the same as the inn, but the reception staff are related to horse racing personnel from the county, and there is a special trainer in the annex to inspect and condition the participating horses.
However, the Jockey Club's annex was only for merchants, while the county warden and officials lived in a separate official-level annex.
After resting in the room of the Hulin Annex, Fang Ling took Song Ying'er to leave the annex on the pretext of shopping, and soon came to a small street in the west of the city, walked halfway down the small street and then got into a deep alley, and then knocked on the door of a house.
In order to ensure the safe delivery of information, the intelligence contact between Fang Ling and Meng Zhiyuan was transmitted by the guards on horseback, although the speed was not fast, but it was very safe, after all, the land of the Yizhou Wangcheng, its guards were no worse than the imperial city, not only with a large number of patrol soldiers, but also with the guards in the palace, if you use codes, flying pigeons and other things, once discovered, the consequences are unimaginable.
This house was rented by Meng Zhiyuan, the place is not only remote, but the landlord is also an old woman, and a lot of goods were put in on the day of moving in. So in the eyes of outsiders, they are just merchants who use this place as a warehouse, and there is no doubt at all.
After Fang Ling entered the house, Meng Zhiyuan and the others all came over to salute, everyone gathered in the small hall, and after they were seated, Fang Ling asked, "Have you inquired about the location where my grandfather may be imprisoned?"
Lu Bei Zhengse said: "Back to Your Highness, this Yizhou City is heavily guarded, the number of defenders alone exceeds 10,000 people, and there are 1,000 people patrolling the city every day, and it is not easy to listen to intelligence, so we don't get much information." However, we still reconnoitred various parts of the city and found that the most likely place to imprison Rong Guogong was the royal palace. ”
Fang Ling bowed slightly: "Actually, I think it should be in the palace, and it is impossible for the king of Yizhou to put them outside the palace." Have you ever scouted this Yizhou Palace?"
Lu Bei shook his head and said: "The guards of the palace are very strict, and anyone who enters must go through a strict check, so we haven't had a chance to go in, but I heard that Yizhou was given a fief back then, and after the king of Yizhou arrived here, he climbed the city wall and looked high, and surrounded a mountain in the city, so as to build the palace today." ”
Song Ying'er said on the side: "Brother Lu, when His Highness and I looked out of the city, we saw that there was a big mountain in the city? Could it be that the mountain is the mountain where the palace is located?"
