Chapter 34: The Imperial City
Nian Jiang climbed into the carriage groggily, although he had expected it for a long time, but the vanity on his feet really made him feel upset, after finding a good position to sit down, he closed his eyes, silently recited the mantra, and carried out the mental method, leaving a small part of his consciousness to pay attention to his body. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When he touched the full internal force in the dantian, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then mobilized the internal force, and after running in the dantian for a week, he slowly turned towards the meridians......
The sound of clothes rubbing beside him sounded, and he subconsciously opened his eyes and closed them again after finding Shi Wuyan. Wuyan pursed her lips, hugged her knees and buried her face in, and when Qingke came up, she pulled the curtain of the carriage, and there was a whooshing sound outside the curtain, and the carriage moved.
The official roads extend in all directions, and the entire country of Chengqi is facilitated. After they had been walking for about an hour, they joined the way of the Lord.
It was a cold day, but there were too many carriages and horses on the road, and the speed of the carriage slowed down significantly after entering the main road.
Nian Jiang woke up when the carriage stopped, and after he calmed down, he felt a little soft on his body, and waited for a while before opening his eyes.
Zhang She's voice suddenly sounded, "How's it going?"
He subconsciously looked over, only to see Zhang She looking at him with a gloomy face, he straightened his cuffs, and said unhurriedly: "It's much better, don't worry about the elders." ”
After breathing for nearly an hour, he woke up again and found that his body was much more comfortable, and his desire for detoxification was a little heavier, but there was also a master of medical Tao here, and he didn't dare to expose it in front of him, so he could only try his best to hide it.
"Although Your Excellency has not yet joined my religion, you have also taken the name of my religion, and I hope that Your Excellency will do it yourself. Zhang She glanced at him coldly and looked away.
"Got it. Nian Jiang said lightly, only to feel that the little girl beside him was trembling slightly, and when she swept over, she only saw her breaking her fingers in boredom, and for a while she only thought that something was wrong with her body, and her heart turned slightly, and she raised her hand to check the pulse, and said with a smile on her face, "It seems that it is the credit of the medicine, thank you elders, and the five-faced girl." ”
"No thanks. Wuyan whispered.
Nian Jiang smiled slightly, put down his hand and lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked at it as he spoke, "Why did you stop......" Only then did he realize that the person sitting on the wheel outside was Wuzhen, and Wuqiao had disappeared,
No wonder I felt that the car was empty. He thought.
"It's time to go into town. "Five shocks to put it simply.
Nian Jiang looked out, several carriages were walking past them, and a group of people in long robes were holding hands and walking forward, and there was still no official road in front of them.
"Look over there. Wu Zhen raised his hand, Nian Jiang's perspective was limited and he could only see the dark curtain, he couldn't help but move some and drill out, Wuyan's voice sounded behind him, but he didn't care.
Drilling out, he only felt a little pain in his body, Nian Jiang rubbed his arms, and heard the sound of five shocks and mockery.
"Before the illness is cured, you will come out to blow the cold wind again?" Wu Zhen looked at him with a smile on his face.
Nian Jiang saw him leaning against the wall of the car, dressed sloppily and sloppy, his dry face was a little purple from the cold, and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, Wuyan put a blanket on me." Is this coming?"
The cold wind blew from the barren forests on both sides, and the barren forests were not barren forests originally, and Nianjiang knew when he saw the dead leaves on the ground. He looked up into the distance, and in the distance there were mountains a dull gray-green.
"Look. Wu Zhen raised his hand again, Nian Jiang looked at his hand, and his eyes blurred for a moment before it became clear, with his skill and half-poisonous body, he could see it clearly within a hundred meters. From a distance, all you can see is that the carriages and people have disappeared around the corner of the mountain.
"Over there...... Is it the Imperial City?" Nian Jiang had never underestimated Wuzhen, but he was still a little confused when he saw this, so he asked.
"No, this is, Hengguan. Wu Zhen said, "The imperial city is close to the Baize cliff in the west, the canal lake in the east, and there is a moat on its back. ”
His gaze was far away, and he seemed to see the scene from the back side through the mountain.
Nian Jiang suddenly said: "No wonder we are sticking all the way to the mountain." "It's been a tough journey.
"Hmph. Five Shocks snorted softly.
There was a sudden rustling sound behind him, Wu Zhen glanced back casually, Nian Jiang stood up with some confusion, and then the corner of his eye jumped up in the next second.
Wuqiao, a sturdy man, was lying on the roof of the car, and his hands couldn't stop turning over something. When I saw him look over, I smiled.
"Aren't you going in?" Wu Zhen suddenly tugged on Nian Jiang's hem, Nian Jiang lowered his head, and saw that this scholar was more distinct than everyone else's facial contours and collarbones, as well as wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
"Whew......" he exhaled, sat down with his legs crossed, and smiled heartily, "Sitting in it is so stuffy and flustered, sit here to breathe, don't you mind?"
"Don't mind," Wu Zhen raised his eyebrows, flicked the reins, and the two horses raised their legs and moved in place, "It's also elegant to come out and drink the cold wind after warming up." ”
"Huh. Wu Zhen looked over, only to see you, a thin young man, looking at the side he was pointing at just now, looking at his demeanor, he was much more energetic than before. "Okay, you blow here, I'll go back first. ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and opened the curtain and rushed in, Nian Jiang leaned on the wheel, raised his hand and touched his forehead.
When Wuqiao returned to the wheel, the carriage moved again.
When the carriage first started, Nian Jiang felt the curtain behind him move, and when he turned around, he saw that Wuyan opened the curtain and was about to come out, and after the two said a few words, Wuyan shrank back again.
The cold wind howled, the official road was full of people, the walking people shrunk their necks, and they wished to bury their whole body in their clothes; the windows and doors of the people in the carriage were tightly wrapped, and although there were many people, they also looked bleak. Especially when it blows, the sound of inhaling cold air sounds.
Nian Jiang clutched the collar of his cloak, and his eyes narrowed when he was blown by the wind. The cold wind disintegrated the heat on his body little by little, and the softness of Fang Cai seemed to be frozen by the cold wind, although it did not relieve the pain, but the heart was light. He looked at the far side, and the internal force in the dantian boiled again, following the route he had repeated thousands of times, and it was running again......
When the carriage turned around the foot of the mountain, the internal force in the meridians of the Nianjiang River suddenly stagnated, and then continued to run. The corner of his eye jumped, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.
The carriage in front of him was very consciously lined up, and the pedestrians who walked by were a little hesitant, but they still dragged forward with heavy steps, and the official road under their feet disappeared into a cliff, and a huge iron plate that was wide enough for ten horses to march in unison and seemed to be a hundred zhang long, and was tied on both sides by several iron chains as thick as adult thighs, and the iron chains converged on the far opposite side.
There are many pieces of iron nailed to the iron plate, and under the iron bridge, there is an abyss. Maybe it's because of the long years, the iron bridge is full of pitch black, without a cold light, but it gives people an extremely cold feeling in the bottom of their hearts.
"What a powerful casting technique......" Nian Jiang took a sharp breath of cold air and muttered.
Ordinary fine iron, it is powerful to be able to forge a piece as thick as this bridge, let alone this hundred-zhang long bridge!
The rift valley is so narrow and deep that when you look at both sides, it looks like it has no bounds, and on the left is a steep mountain wall, and on the right is a field. Above the lonely crack, there seemed to be only one passable place.
Some timid people, when they stepped on this iron bridge, were so frightened that they sat down.
At the place where the bridge meets the official road on this side, there is a group of officers and soldiers wearing armor and carrying spears.
Nian Jiang was stunned, his shoulders suddenly sank, and Wuzhen's head came out of the curtain.
"How's it going?" asked Wuzhen meaninglessly.
"I'm thinking, this is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the people inside are in a hurry to get out, how can they get out?" he said.
"You can also climb the mountain over there, no matter how long the crack is, there will be an end. Wuzhen's voice was still a little low, and with the howl of the wind, Nian Jiang heard the horror of it.
Nian Jiang looked along the iron chain, and the iron city wall was erected high on the side of the cliff, on the top of the cliff, in the wind, indestructible. The gate was wide open, where the iron bridge ended.
The road was smooth, and I don't know if there were officers and soldiers stationed there, and soon their carriage stepped on the iron bridge.
The wind on the bridge is strong, and Nian Jiang doesn't want to die, even if he is a person with a strong body, he has to fall down if he is frozen by the cold wind. He slid into the car, only to open the curtain as he approached the impregnable door, and took a cursory glance.
The color of this iron wall is pitch black, and when you get closer, you can't see the reflection, but you feel that this pitch black seems to be one with the mountain wall. Pitch black and cold, like a black beast, hidden in the background, ready to wreak havoc on enemies.
After entering the city, even the sound of the wind was quiet, but the voices of people gradually sounded, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps and horseshoe carriages.
The carriage took Nian Jiang to a mansion and let him go.
