Chapter 281: Deterrence
When Fan Wu and others entered the imperial city of the Shangwu Dynasty, they did not choose to enter through the city gate, but chose to take the escalators built on the city wall.
The walls were not vertical, and that was why it was possible to build houses on them, and escalators to be built on them.
It seems that the wall is so high that if the walls of the wall were to be made vertical, the craftsmanship required would be ...... Not at all the craftsmanship of this world, the level that can be reached.
It took me a long time to walk from the root of the city wall to the top of the city wall, and at this moment it was already in the air at a height of three hundred zhang.
How tall is 300 zhang? Anyway...... When I stood in this position, I felt that the wind blowing in front of me was very cold, as if I was in the ice and snow.
The wind blowing from all directions was even stronger, and if a thin person stood in this position and did not grasp the handrail next to him, he was afraid that he would be blown to the ground directly.
Standing in this position, the probe looked down, and it was impossible to see the scene below, because it was already covered by a layer of clouds.
This is climbing a city wall, this is obviously climbing a mountain!
"Whew...... Hu ...... "Climbing to such a high place in such a short period of time, even Yun Jiuqing felt a little unbearable, she supported the old green cow's belly with one hand to rest: "Good ...... How is this place so high and steep, I think...... We should have gone through the gates. Speaking of this, Yun Jiuqing looked at the old green cow, and then at the heavenly coffin, she really couldn't understand where the old green cow came from with a brute force that could pull up a coffin?
What she couldn't figure out even more was ...... The old green cow weighs so much, and now it has to pull a coffin up.
After doing such a thing, Lao Qingniu was just a little out of breath, and there didn't seem to be any extra tiredness other than that.
"Yun Jushi, I'm afraid you need to practice more, otherwise if you go on like this, you won't even be able to compare to this green bull." The truth of Xingfengzi was like a knife inserted into Yun Jiuqing's body at this moment.
Hearing Yun Jiuqing's shout, he gritted his teeth: "It seems that you, a Taoist priest, are not tired." Xing Fengzi looked a little confused, he didn't know why his big truth annoyed Yun Jiuqing, but he still continued to say the big truth he wanted to say in his heart: "Although I am also a little tired, compared to Yun Jushi, it is obviously much better." Yun Jiuqing: "......" resisted the urge to beat up the wind in his heart, Yun Jiuqing could only awkwardly pull away from the topic: "No wonder there will be enemies who use the escalator on this city wall to climb up, we cultivators are already so tired when they climb up, if it is some ordinary sergeants who climb up, they even have to hold heavy weapons in their hands and wear heavy armor." β
"When they climbed up, not only were the daylilies cold, but they themselves were probably tired and vomited. In that case, they would not have any soldiers to fight at all, and they were afraid that they would be easily repelled by the soldiers defending the city of the Shangwu Dynasty with a dozen or so. Bai Sheng nodded, agreeing with Yun Jiuqing's statement, only to hear him speak: "That's true." Unless the enemy army is all cultivators, but cultivators have to be tired enough to come up. Since the imperial court dared to build so many escalators on the city wall, it naturally had its own ideas. "They went down the escalator to the top of the city wall, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Because there are still few people who choose not to go to the city gate, but choose to climb up from the escalator, after all, if you climb up, you have to climb down, and it is a very difficult journey!
Of course, the most important thing is that Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, two people with a height of nearly three meters, are too eye-catching.
A group of defenders on the city wall saw these two men at a glance. Then they felt that these two big men seemed very familiar.
A defender with a spear not far away couldn't help but poke the person next to him, and then asked in a low voice: "Boss, have you noticed that those two big men are so familiar!" Hey...... Why didn't you reply, boss? What's your expression? Then the defender noticed that the man next to him had a stunned expression, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
The person next to him swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and opened his mouth in great shock and said, "If I remember correctly, one of the two big men is called Yan Dalong, and the other is called Yan Dahu." β
"Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu?" The spear-wielding defender pondered these two names, which seemed so familiar to him that he had heard them somewhere, but he could not remember them for a while.
The person next to him hurriedly explained to him: "You kid is young, and he has just been defending for a short time, so I don't know that these two people are relatively normal." They were the most influential people in the Imperial City many years ago, or they could be said to be notorious people. β
"The one named Yan Dalong is the elder brother, and the one called Yan Dahu is the younger brother, these two are two brothers, and the two of them were from the imperial city before. It's just that because they committed something in the imperial city, and then they were wanted by the imperial court, the bounty of the two of them added up to thousands of taels of silver! β
"Shhh The defender holding a spear couldn't help but gasp, and the expression on his face was very shocking: "In other words, these two big men are both wanted criminals in the imperial court?" Wouldn't it be ...... if we could take the two of them down?"
"! You're crazy! The person next to him was startled, quickly pulled him back, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what the two of them committed to be rewarded with so much silver?" One of the most famous things they have ever done is the attempted assassination of the National Teacher! β
"You're damn ...... Such two extremely fierce characters, with the two of us, can take them down? Have your brain been eaten by a dog? Or was he kicked by a donkey? I see that you kid is just dazzled by a few thousand taels of silver, and you need to calm down! "The defenders with spears were also frightened and attempted to assassinate the national teacher...... Good fellows, these two brothers have done such a horrible thing!
No wonder he was offered a reward of several thousand taels of silver. If such a vicious criminal were not to be rewarded with so much silver...... I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable.
"That'...... So what if we quickly light the beacon fire and call more people over? After all, no matter how powerful the two of them are, they are just two people! If there are dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, can the two big men be the opponents of thousands of our brothers? If you can't do it, you can still call the cultivators to come, and with the help of the cultivators, will they still be able to run away? "The young defender with a spear is saying something unrealistic.
Then the back of his head was slapped hard by another defender next to him, and the person next to him gritted his teeth and said: "You kid wants to die, don't implicate Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu still wants to live a few more years!" Anyway...... Lao Tzu didn't want to die at the hands of Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, these two brothers. β
"Not only are you too young, but you're not even interested in hearing some rumors. It is said that in order to kill the two brothers, Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, the imperial court once sent tens of thousands of troops to set up an ambush and surround these two people. As a result, these two people were able to fight for their seriously injured bodies and kill them hard. When he said this, this person's face was also full of horror, full of disbelief, but he had to believe: "It was an early encirclement of tens of thousands of troops, and they were all killed and killed." Thousands of us, a fart? β
"Have you ever thought about what they were like if they were killed, and remembered the two of us? Then, what if you want to get in trouble with the two of us? I heard that these two brothers are very vicious, what if they want to trouble not only the two of us, but even our two family members? This sentence after sentence fell, and the young defender with the spear was stunned for a moment, and the young defender was stunned.
When the young defender heard this, his whole person was a little numb, and he suddenly became a little panicked: "That's ...... So what do we do? Just let them go? β
"As the defender of the imperial city wall, it would be too embarrassing to watch two wanted criminals of the imperial court leave in front of his eyes!"
"What? Do you see any wanted criminals in the imperial court? Where are the most wanted criminals in the imperial court? Over here? Or is it there? I didn't see it! The defender next to him said that he was confused, he didn't see anything, and he looked very old fritters at first glance.
The young defender with the spear, although a little naΓ―ve, but not a fool, immediately understood: "Ahem! Yes...... Boss, you're right, but I'm wrong. I actually...... Actually, I didn't see anything. "Although the conversation between these two defenders sounds a little cowardly, there is no way, they are just two ordinary defenders.
He didn't have any cultivation skills, nor did he have any big background. When encountering this kind of character who can't be provoked, it must be that if you can't provoke, you won't provoke, so as not to be careless...... It's a hassle to put yourself in.
When Fan Wu and the others disappeared from the sight of the two of them, the two of them dared to hurriedly inform others.
Because they really didn't dare to run to inform people in front of Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu. Then the defenders of this area immediately panicked, because no one thought that the two brothers, Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, would actually come back, hadn't they been driven out of the imperial city many years ago?
Why do they dare to come back? And during the time when they were driven out of the imperial city, why did the people of the imperial court not take down the two of them in such a wasteful way?
What kind of turmoil was set off at the top of the city wall, Fan Wu and the others didn't care. After they continued to walk for a while, they had reached the top of the wall at the height of 300 zhang and came to the foot of the root of the city wall, and of course the root here was the root foot of the imperial city, not outside the imperial city.
In fact, when you don't fully walk to the foot of the city wall, it is the time to take in most of the bustling street scenes inside the imperial city of the Shangwu Dynasty.
When you come to the foot of the city wall, you will already be blended into the bustling street scene, and all the people you can see are densely packed with people.
The prosperity of the imperial city of the Shangwu Dynasty has exceeded many people's imagination, and as far as the eye can see, even the clothes worn by the beggars begging on the roadside are quite good, and they don't look like beggars at all.
If it weren't for a broken bowl in front of them, they wouldn't have been beggars at all. But this is how he dressed, a good beggar, after being seen by a group of people, he shook his head, called them pitiful, and then put a lot of copper plates on their broken bowls.
Yun Jiuqing was stunned by this scene, in her eyes, those beggars on the road were placed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, at most, they were poor people who had little money at home, and the clothes they were wearing also needed to be sewn and mended all year round.
But in this Shangwu Dynasty, such poor people have become beggars, and there are really people who sympathize with this kind of warm beggars who can eat and clothe themselves at a glance.
Ah......h Did the people of the Shangwu Dynasty get rich to this point? Yun Jiuqing felt very unbelievable.
If this is the case, a small family group in the Shangwu Dynasty is placed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, wouldn't it be equivalent to the top family of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Yun Jiuqing didn't know if his guess conversion was accurate, if it was accurate...... Good guys, that's outrageous!
It's no wonder that the owner of the Huo family's Haixing, who brought them from the Great Yan Dynasty, wanted to settle in the Shangwu Dynasty so much.
Dare EQ Dynasty This place, surpassing the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty is really not a star and a half, it is really a tenfold and a hundredfold difference.
Just when Yun Jiuqing wanted to go to the street vendors to see what the stalls of the Shangwu Dynasty were selling, she suddenly found passers-by nearby, and when she saw their group of people, it was as if they had seen a bad star, and their faces changed dramatically.
Then the whole street, there was a series of panicked shouts.
"Yes...... Be...... It's Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, the two brothers are back after many years! "The first reason for the huge commotion was that someone suddenly shouted such a sentence.
When countless people set their eyes on Fan Wu and a group of others, they were immediately attracted by the tall size of the two brothers, Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, and then they panicked.
Ordinary people on the street hurriedly hugged their heads and ran back to their homes. The vendors on the side of the road hurriedly cleaned up their stalls and ran further away.
Their speed, looking at Yun Jiuqing, was dumbfounded. In less than a hundred breaths, the entire street except for Fan Wu and the others...... It can be described as empty.
"Ahh β¦β¦β¦β¦
