Chapter 338: Warning
Dusk is approaching, and the sunset hangs in the sky.
The official road outside the city of Daliang is full of people and cars, and it is very lively.
Under the glow of the sunset and the sound of rushing water, Qi Yu and the others finally followed the golden water flow and passed through the majestic and magnificent Daliang City from the water gate in the west of the city.
Weidu Liang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, which is the place where several major rivers of Luoshui, Bianshui, Jushui and Danshui converge. In addition, the Wei people have successively dug two artificial moats of the big ditch and the beam ditch, which protect the big beam and become a natural barrier, making this great capital city even easier to defend and difficult to attack, as stable as Mount Tai.
Even in a certain sense, if it weren't for the only fatal weakness of the water attack, Daliang City could be said to be the strongest city in the Warring States Period.
Wei was in the center of the Central Plains at that time, bordering Zhao in the north, Han and Qin in the west, Qi in the east, and Chu in the south. It is the world's transportation hub. If you want to attack the other five countries, if you don't capture Wei first, it will be more difficult, and if you want to conquer Wei, then Daliang is a battleground, which shows the importance of the capital of Wei.
The weather of the city of Daliang is thousands, the city is connected, the surrounding moat is wide, it is an irregular rectangle, it bends with the terrain and the river, the south gate is positive, all the city gates have the protruding gate and the moat, greatly enhance the defensive force of the city gate, the momentum is magnificent.
When passing through the water gate, Qi Yu stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, admiring this magnificent city towering on the vast plain, and he was also magnificent, knowing that he had finally come to the "magic capital" belonging to the Warring States Period, and finally stood in this era, located in the capital city in the center of the land of China!
As far as the eye can see, I can see the houses on both sides of the waterway, bustling and lively along the way, and the people are neatly dressed and confident. On both sides of the river, from time to time, you can see women singing a small tune by the river, leaning over to wash their clothes, with a good appearance and a slender and slender face. The pedestrians on the street seem to be much more than Linzi, which is also a metropolis, and it is worthy of the atmosphere of the metropolis of the Central Plains.
The beam has a different appearance than Linzi, less romantic and bold of Qi, but a little more beautiful and delicate, and more colorful in decoration, so that Qi Yu, the people of later generations, is quite novel, and has a strong heart of exploring the wonders.
The streets of the city are formed by eight parallel streets running north and south, and four main streets running east and west. These 12 avenues can accommodate more than a dozen horses walking side by side, and they are very wide and large. Other side streets and alleys are staggered according to these main streets, and they are in an orderly manner.
"Young master, because the Wei Palace is in the northeast of Daliang City, the nobles and ministers in Daliang City mainly live in the northeast corner of the city, and the place where we live is also in the east of the city, between the area of commoners and nobles, and not far from the commercial area......"
Qi Shang also came to the bow of the boat and stood beside Qi Yu to introduce the situation of the girder.
Qi Yu nodded, turned around and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Shang, where does Miss Ouyang live?"
Qi Shang also said in a low voice: "Miss Ouyang temporarily lives in Yahu Xiaozhu, which is also in the east of the city, not too far from us. ”
Yahu Xiaozhu?
Qi Yu's heart gave birth to a sense of familiarity, and was immediately washed away by the intense joy of the upcoming reunion.
While the two were talking, a small boat came in front of them, and there was a person standing in the bow of the boat.
"It's Lord Qi, the envoy from the Qi Kingdom?"
Qi Yu looked at it in surprise and replied, "It's here, dare to ask Brother Tai what's the matter?"
"The villain Bai Bing, who came to greet Qi Gongzi on the order of the head of the family, has seen Qi Gongzi. ”
Qi Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, thinking that this person's surname was Bai, could it be that the Bai family sent him, so he asked, "Dare to ask your lord?"
At this time, the two boats were about to stagger over, and the boatman on the opposite side suddenly propped up the pole at the stern, and neatly turned the boat in place, and crossed a circle on the water, the ripples were flooded, and the sound of the water was loud, and in a few breaths, the boat turned around, and changed to parallel with the boat where Qi Yu was, and the two boats were only a few feet apart from the water.
Qi Yu secretly praised the boatman's good boat skills in his heart!
But after the two boats approached, on the river far away from the hustle and bustle on both sides, Bai Bing deliberately moved to the nearest place, and said in a low voice that could only be heard by Qi Yu: "Young Master Qi, my head of the family asks the master to leave Daliang City as soon as possible, I am afraid of change!"
Qi Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Bai Bing with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What does this mean?"
Qi Shang on the side was also taken aback, and said in his ear: "Young master, Bai Bing is a close confidant of Bai Shouye, the head of the Bai family!"
Qi Yu secretly pondered that the Bai family and the Qi family had no conflict of interest, and it stands to reason that there should be no ill will towards them, but this does not rule out the meaning of King Wei.
It's just that if King Wei really suspects them, the normal course of action should be to send someone to detain them immediately.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu was shocked, thinking of the investigation at the border of Wei and Wei, and the indifference of the Wei side along the way, a bad premonition suddenly arose, as if this trip was unconsciously going deep into danger.
It's just that Qi Yu still can't believe in his heart that King Wei will do things too much.
After all, Qi is also a powerful country that is not inferior to Wei, and in peacetime, it is equivalent to openly tearing his face, and it is impossible for the King of Wei not to weigh the consequences in the slightest before he makes a move!
At this time, Han Fei also walked out of the cabin, and when he saw the solemn atmosphere at the bow of the ship, his face changed: "Hair...... What happened?"
Bai Bing's face showed an anxious look, and he said in a low voice: "King Wei has learned the information that Qi has recently transferred troops intensively, so he has doubts about the purpose of Qi Gongzi's trip, during this time, Long Yangjun has been waiting for Qi Gongzi to come to the door by himself, and also asked Qi Gongzi to return quickly, make a detour to Daliang City, and leave Wei as soon as possible!"
Qi Yu immediately frowned, he knew that Qi State was lurking many undercover spies from various countries, but he didn't expect that such an important military situation would not even be able to hide it for a moment or three, and even before he stepped into Daliang City, King Wei had already received the information and was waiting for him to enter the urn!
Even a merchant family like the Bai family already knew about this matter, didn't it already be well known, and only himself and others were still in the dark?
It's just that since King Wei has blatantly opened a big net, why didn't the Qi family's spies in various places get this news at all?
Qi Yu was full of suspicions in his heart, only to feel that this matter was strange everywhere, and there were too many places for him to figure out.
Bai Bing's words made Qi Shang and Han Fei understand the critical situation at the moment, and their faces turned pale, anxiously waiting for Qi Yu's decision.
Qi Yu was in danger, but he calmed down, did not give an order immediately, looked directly at Bai Bing, and asked in a deep voice: "Since the King of Wei ordered it, the Bai family is not related to me, why do you want to take the risk to help me?"
