The closer he got to Chengdu, the more Yi Yun felt that the environment had changed......
The sand winds that used to be seen everywhere have become less and less, the quicksand rivers that can be seen everywhere are slowly disappearing, and although the air is still very dry, the wind is beginning to carry a little dampness...... This is a situation that has not been encountered next to the Yucheng Oasis and the Jiangjin Oasis, which shows that the Chengdu Oasis ahead will be a giant oasis that has never been seen before, and its influence will even radiate to a hundred miles away.
When Yi Yun turned over a tall sand dune and could finally see the situation of the Chengdu Oasis directly with his eyes, he couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see the Chengdu Plain in front of him, as if a line had been drawn by the gods, on the line side, it was a long stretch of yellow sand, and on the other side of the line, there was a large green field, in which rice and wheat grew proudly...... There are still many farmers working in the fields, some weeding, some killing insects, and some fertilizing......
The walls of the city are ten meters high and ten meters thick, the towering walls are full of wind and frost and mulberry, and the walls are full of soldiers in bright armor, and everyone is in good spirits. There are also many forts on the city walls, with bronze cannons, each with a muzzle as thick as a large bowl, and several particularly huge bucket-sized cannons, covered with red cloth, which are famous red cannons.
"I'm rubbing, what a powerful giant city!" Yi Yun couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of being the first city in Sichuan, this momentum is ...... Just looking at the ten-meter-high city wall, if the rebels want to attack the city directly from the outside, I don't know how much they will have to pay. After all, the world is actually full of science, and I didn't think anyone would use a weapon like a cannon. ”
"Why do you think that no one uses a cannon?" asked Li Chengyu curiously.
This question is not easy to answer, he can't say that this world is too strange, and the cannon should be useless for weird professional skills, so he had to laugh dryly twice and said: "If you use Shou Rushan, can this cannon hurt you?"
Li Chengyu frowned and said, "If it is a cannon set by ordinary people, I can use Shourushan to knock the cannonball away unscathed." But if I encounter a cannonball released by someone who is an 'artilleryman', I will be smashed into meat sauce even if I use Shourushan. ”
Evan: "......"
Nima, is it a bad job? And there is such a profession as "artillery"? Will there be a profession called "US Marine"? If there is another profession like "astronaut", buddy, I will definitely go crazy.
Everyone raised their feet and walked into the fields under the city of Chengdu, shuttling between the green fields, Yi Yun felt that his nose was sour, and this was finally like walking into a normal world.
He couldn't help but ask casually: "By the way, the Chengdu oasis is so huge, and there are fields around it, isn't there something like wind sand or quicksand to invade this city?"
Li Chengyu said with a smile: "Let me explain it to you, in fact, a long, long time ago, when the Chengdu Oasis was just discovered, it was an oasis with a particularly serious disaster...... Later, there was a genius named Li Bing in my Dameng country, who built a huge sand project in the northwest of the Chengdu oasis, named Dujiangyan, which controlled the quicksand in the Minjiang River and diverted them into the Tuojiang River, bypassing the farmland of the Chengdu oasis! After the completion of the Dujiangyan sand project, the Chengdu oasis was no longer invaded by the quicksand, and became more and more prosperous, and gradually became the first giant oasis in central Sichuan. ”
Evan: "......"
It's too bad, Dujiangyan has actually become a Shali project! Okay, I don't care about you, if I'm serious, I'll lose.
The crowd walked through the field and walked to the front of the Chengdu city gate, the middle of the city gate was empty, there were camel carts and manpower sedan chairs of dignitaries and nobles, but the ordinary people could not walk in the middle, they could only line up to enter and exit from a side gate next to it, and there was a group of soldiers who collected city taxes at the side gate......
If it was before, Li Chengyu would definitely go directly inside from the middle of the city gate and show his military waist card. An Qian can also use the name of the big businessman An to go to the middle, but this time everyone has to disguise themselves as ordinary people, so they have to follow the people to line up to enter the city.
The entry tax into the city is not high, five copper coins per person, and the people in front of him will pass quickly. Yi Yun and his party walked to the door, and the soldier who collected the city tax looked at a few people for a while, only Yi Yun was unmasked of the six of them, and the other five women all covered their faces with veils.
"What are you doing, from where, what are you doing in Chengdu?" said the soldier impatiently, "take off the veil so that we can see our faces...... It is convenient to compare the wanted notices posted on the side of the city gate...... "It turns out that there are a lot of wanted notices posted on the side of the city gate, both men and women, and everyone who enters and leaves the city, the soldiers have to look at their faces and compare them."
Yi Yun took out a handful of copper coins and put them in the soldier's hand, and said in a low voice: "We are from Jiangjin City, Jiangjin is fighting, and our family has avoided Chengdu to stay for a while." My name is Yi Yun, I am a scholar, this is my eldest lady, this is my concubine, and the other three are all maidservants. ”
The soldiers were not suspicious when they heard this, and there were a lot of people who had recently come to Chengdu from Jiangjin and Luzhou and other counties to take refuge, and Yi Yun and the others were not very strange people. What's more, such a thing as a scholar is always very respectable! Maybe one day he will become a big official if he is named on the gold list, and ordinary big-headed soldiers can't afford to provoke a scholar.
He collected the entry tax and said to An Qian and the others behind him: "Although you are female dependents, the rules for entering the city must still be observed, quickly take off the veil, let us see if it is a wanted criminal." ”
Li Chengyu is a general, and she once guarded the city gate, so she knew this rule, she took the lead in removing the veil, revealing a cold but handsome face. This appearance suddenly saw that the city defender gasped: Good my mother, this scholar's concubine is so beautiful, especially this beauty is mixed with a hint of heroism, and it looks quite charming.
Then Ling Yun'er, Yan Yunyun, and Xiao Ziyue also took off their veils one after another, and this time the soldier was a little dumbfounded, Ling Yun'er's little face was shy, innocent and cute. Yan Wanyun is enthusiastic and unrestrained, and her long eyelashes are a little playful. Even the bald little nun Ziyue is also very beautiful, and no matter how old she is, she will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people.
The other soldiers next to him couldn't help but stretch their necks and come together to see the beauty, in Sichuan dialect, this is called "looking".
The soldier who collected the city tax shook his wrist, oh my mother, these women are all superb, can an ordinary scholar have so many beautiful women? This scholar is at least a showman, and he is not a man......
At this time, only An Qian didn't take off the mask towel, she didn't know why she just didn't want to show her face, she just glanced at Yan Wanyun, Wanyun leaned over to the soldier, took out a huge ingot of silver and handed it over, and said in a low voice: "My eldest lady doesn't like to show her face in front of people, anyway, you have seen other people, it is impossible for our group of people to have wanted criminals, you can make it convenient." ”
When the soldiers defending the city saw a large ingot of silver and several beautiful women, they were not in the mood to make it difficult, so they gave way to enter the city, and looked at Yi Yun with the eyes of an ordinary "refugee", but envy, jealousy, hatred, and fear.
Yi Yun was very proud in his heart, and took a beautiful woman to the street, which can really play a role in deterring "poor and short frustration", no wonder men want to find a beautiful woman as a wife, think about it, you walk with a beautiful woman by your side, and the men next to you all cast jealous and envious eyes, how sad is that? But if you walk on the street with a dinosaur, and all the men next to you cast sympathetic eyes, how sad is that?
Being a man and being sympathized by passers-by will be ruined for a lifetime.
Yi Yun triumphantly took a group of beauties and swaggered into the city, he originally said "the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark", he has long forgotten outside the nine clouds, at this time, making other men jealous and envious is his main goal, and nothing else matters.
