Ye Shen and the others set off out of the west of the town, all the way to the north, but saw the roadside fields, the wheat is sparse and the grass is prosperous, the field farmhouses are dilapidated, the people have fled like the mountains, except for a few rebels standing in the camp outside the city, they can no longer see other people; Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two couldn't help but shake their heads again and again, and sighed in their hearts, when the spears intersected and the war was devastated, their lives were really like ants, and the civilians were weak and wanted to live, which was really very difficult!

More than 200 miles of road, under the galloping horse, only two afternoons, the two of them had already seen the city of Xi'an from afar, and when they got closer, Fang Jue was even more shocked;

Xi'an Mansion its city is the blue brick stone stacked, four zhang high, six zhang wide at the bottom, five zhang at the top, can be ridden by eight horses, the gate tower, the arrow tower, the main building, the corner tower, the battlement mouth is scaled in turn, there are four city gates: the east gate is Changle, the west gate is stable, the south gate is Yongning, the north gate is Anyuan, all are triple city gates, strong and incomparable;

More than ten zhang outside the city wall of Xi'an, is the moat of the moat, is the Hongwu Emperor in the Tang Dynasty on the old site to increase and enlarge, its depth is two zhang, the width is five zhang, the city is around a week, a total length of 4,500 zhang, the head of the dragon, the water of Tongji is used to irrigate the ditch;

There is a ditch wall six feet high and two feet thick along the inner edge of the moat, which is forced to be entrenched outside and sandwich road inside, so as to increase the power of the moat to protect the moat.

The city wall is tall and magnificent, and I can't help but admire that it is worthy of being the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but seeing the city is high and deep, and the majestic town is wonderful, it is shocking.

The two of them were secretly surprised in their hearts, if the righteous army of such a Xiongguan giant town was to attack it, they were afraid that they would have to take many lives to fill it!

Because the righteous army is only more than 200 miles away, only dozens of miles away from the city, it is already seen that the officers and soldiers are patrolling, and this place is already heavily guarded, the city wall is hunting with flags, the armor is shining, and the battalion soldiers are displayed and the wall battlements are staring at each other;

The cannon array, under the sun, was shimmering, and only the swarthy muzzle of the cannon was staring at the outside of the city, which made people tremble at a glance!

When I arrived at the Yongning Gate, I saw that the guards of the city were very meticulous, and there were soldiers of the Shenji Battalion standing on the left and right sides with fire guns in their hands, and then there were actually three brocade guards, the fish and dragon robes were very eye-catching, and the left hand was pressed on the embroidered spring knife, and they were watching, but this kind of strict investigation made the hearts of the two of them tight.

Ye Shen and the others saw that there were also people carrying weapons in front of them, because there were many people in the rivers and lakes who had gathered here recently, so after showing the Lu Yin Tooth Card, although they had also carried swords and swords, the two of them were a little settled in their hearts;

The two of them walked to the front and lit up the cyan jade plate of the Qin Mansion, but the guards of the city did not let it go, and after a careful investigation, the two of them said the reason for the previous arrangement, and then let the two enter the city.

Entering the city, only to know that this Xi'an Mansion is actually a triple city gate, extremely majestic, walking in the city, but see the bluestone paving, extremely smooth, the shops on both sides are scaled in turn, the cloth is lightly swayed, the goods of the Baozhu City cake are all listed in front, the sound of the orchestra silk and bamboo is endless, the body of the carriage and horses and pedestrians is crowded around, it seems to be very lively;

Find an inn to live, while the sky is still early, then go to the street to visit the news, the righteous army has been the Xi'an Mansion in detail in the city of the two people, so it is learned that the west side of Xi'an Mansion is the residence, the market, the warehouse, the temple, etc., and the east is the prince, the county king's mansion, etc., the official office is between the two, around the bell, the drum on the second floor.

Divided by the bell and the second floor of the drum, the yamen and school camps at all levels in Shaanxi and Xi'an are all near the drum tower, and if the brothers and sisters of the Qin family are really rescued by the imperial court, they should be here to investigate, so Ye Shen and the two of them asked the store for the way, and went straight to the drum tower.

The two walked for a while, looked far away and saw that the eaves of the drum tower rest mountain heavy eaves style of the eaves animal spine has been exposed, turn the corner, but see the bluestone street is very wide, on both sides are the high walls of the Zhumen stretch away, in front of each door are the holding of the halberd, the crown cover looks at each other, it is obviously the Xi'an Mansion and even the Shaanxi government offices gathered.

The two traveled and explored, Xi'an Governor's Mansion, the Political Envoy Division, the Inspectorate Division, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yongshou, Xingping Wangfu, Zhenguo General's Mansion, etc. were all lined up on both sides of the road, all the way, the two of them memorized it in their hearts, and they were familiar with it a lot.

After traveling for an hour, they had already traveled to Dongcheng, and the two of them were careful all the way, but when they saw the Commander's Division, the Governor's Mansion, the Taifu, and the military camp and school field passing by in turn, at this time, a city wall suddenly appeared in front of the two, and there was a ditch outside, Shen Zhan said in a low voice: "This should be the Qin Wangfu!"

Ye Zhiqiu also nodded lightly, and the two of them raised their eyes to see that there was a brick city inside and a Xiao wall outside. Between the Xiao wall and the brick city ripples, the ditch river water is introduced from the Chan River in the east of the city through the Longshou Canal, there are four city gates of Duanli, Guangzhi, Tiren and Zunyi, which are divided into north and south, east and west, the outside of the city gate, between the outer wall of the royal city and the ditch moat, it is the subordinate official military camp of Zhu Gongxi, the king of Qin.

Zhu Gongxi, the king of Qin, is the fourth grandson of Emperor Hongwu, and this Qin palace is worthy of being called "the first feudal feud in the world", as if it was built into a city in this city like the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The two of them carefully investigated, and when they returned to the inn that evening, they ordered a few kinds of wine and food to be sent to the room, and they were all in a clueless general mood, and after pouring a few glasses, Ye Zhiqiu said worriedly: "This Qin Wangfu is so big, just you and me, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

Shen Zhan took a sip of wine and said lightly: "It's really inappropriate to look for it one by one, you need to have an idea, but if you and I capture an official in this palace to ask, not to mention whether you can ask, after asking, if you release someone, you will report to Shangguan, if you don't let go, then the palace will be aware of it, it's really embarrassing!"

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said: "This method is not feasible, if my righteous brother and sister are not in the Qin Palace, but in other places, we will not be able to find it anymore." ”

Shen Zhan pondered: "The official offices are in charge of official affairs, not a place to stay, I think the brothers and sisters of the Qin family may not be here, but the military camp and the mansion of the town and the country, it is possible, this Qin King Zhu Gongxi Prime Minister Xi'an Mansion, and recently the Qin Wangfu has been frequently infested with people in the martial arts, I think it should be right to explore it first!"

The two thought about it again, Ye Zhiqiu lit up his eyes and said: "Brother Shen, the two of us are here because the detailed work sent by the big brother to capture the tiger has gathered a lot of martial arts figures in the Qin Palace, why don't we pick a martial arts figure, follow it, maybe find something!"

Shen Zhan nodded when he heard this: "It's all about this, but I can't find it for a while, why don't you and I go and find out tonight!"

The two of them ate and drank, hugged their clothes and rested, only to wait for noon tonight, and then went to the palace of King Qin at the third watch.
