Chapter 366 Curse and Kaifeng City
In the process of talking about how he became a thief and his family situation, the tone of Nie Gouzi's mouth was very flat.

That posture, as if talking about tonight's meal, seems to be a little saltier than before, so indifferent.

But the war dog can still clearly hear the deep bitter taste under the indifferent narration in Nie Gouzi's mouth.

For a moment, the rookie hated it because of his curiosity.

As a result, the thief was assigned an army, which brought pain like uncovering a scar in his heart.

So instinctively, he had to think about changing the topic quickly, so as not to let Gouzi Nie continue to fall into these sad memories.

But he didn't expect that Big Yu, who was also not asleep, thought that the other party was from the Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, so he didn't need War Dog to find a topic.

As a rookie, Big Yu asked in a rather relaxed tone:
"I didn't expect that you kid, Nie Gouzi, who usually looks very rustic and disheveled, actually came from the people at the foot of the emperor and the Kaifeng mansion.

I'm not afraid of your jokes, I have never been to Kaifeng Mansion in my life.

I just heard that it is extremely prosperous, and it is the most prosperous city in the world. As long as you have enough money in your hands, you can live happier than the heavenly king and Lao Tzu. I don’t know if this is the case? "

Don't say it!War Dog, a native of the Central Plains, has been to Kaifeng in the modern plane.

But after a thousand years, the glory of Tokyo, the only super city on this planet, has long since disappeared.

You know, in the eyes of future generations, Song Dynasty's poor performance in the military and various covenants make people feel very heartbroken.

However, his economic, cultural and artistic development and brilliant achievements are also undeniable.

Meng Yuanlao wrote such a beautiful description in "Tokyo Prosperity Record":
Carved cars compete in Tianjie, BMW competes in Yulu, the golden emeralds are dazzling, and Luo Qi is fragrant.The new voice laughs cleverly in the Liumo Huaqu, and tunes the strings in the tea house and wine shop according to the pipe.There are beautiful descriptions such as the eight wastelands contending for each other, and the connection between the world and the world.

Most especially, Zhang Zerui's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

Every time the descendants of future generations see it, they will always involuntarily feel a great interest and longing for this place that can be said to be the most prosperous place in the world thousands of years ago.

So, at this moment, the war dog really wants to know what Kaifeng City really looks like from Nie Gouzi, a native of Kaifeng City.

Some civilians in the surrounding areas, as well as brave warriors from various roads in Hebei, were also very interested.

It's just that those guys who pricked up their ears and planned to learn more didn't notice.

While they were smoking and chatting, not only the people around them who were not asleep, but now they were all listening.

A little further away, Hu Biao, Feng Rui, Xu Feng, Yang Dongli, AT, Lang Qing, etc., are veterans who have participated in the first system mission of Kucha City.

Now it is also at the corner of a city wall, listening to their chat.

It's not that these old birds with strong psychological quality can't sleep.

Instead, they planned to find a place for each of them, and squinted for a few hours before; because they were somewhat worried, they slowly patrolled along the city wall before going to bed.

Because they were worried about making noise to the exhausted people, they deliberately lightened their steps during the patrolling process.

So much so that it was the war dog and others who were engaged in the chat, and they didn't notice the arrival of these people at all.

As a result, when they heard about War Dog, they actually took the initiative to ask about the situation in Kaifeng City; suddenly, there was a big 'click~' in the hearts of these six people.

why?It's not that the scene in front of them made them too familiar.

Because they were still rookies in the mission in Kucha City, they asked almost the same questions to the veterans of the Anxi Army.

The only difference is that it is Chang'an, not Kaifeng.

But both are capitals, the most prosperous cities at that time.

Then, this thing is like in a movie, a certain character yells that after the battle is over, he will go home, it is simply a vicious curse.

As long as you say it, nothing good will happen.

For example, after they asked a group of veterans, something happened later that caused them a lot of grudges, and even now they still have great resentment.

Even if you calculate it carefully, it's been several years.

But in the Anxi Army, Guo Xin, Wang Xiaowei, Zhang Tiezhu, Liang Daya, Cyclops, Xiucai and other veterans look like that one who wants to return to his hometown even when he is dying.

Still in countless dreams, they suddenly woke up with a start.

Then after touching the somewhat moist pillow, he found that it was covered with his own tears.

So these guys, even if they don't sleep well at night, what's wrong with talking about it?I just want to talk about Kaifeng City, which is the capital city. Isn't this just finding something for myself?
As soon as he opened his mouth, Feng Rui wanted to speak immediately, interrupting their dangerous topic.

But at this critical moment, Yang Dongli stretched out a hand to block Feng Rui's mouth.

The reason for doing this is that Comrade Yang, who is a materialist, thinks that the curse is too mysterious, and he doesn't really believe it in his heart.

More importantly, even if there is such a thing, it has a very good catalytic effect on the growth and mentality change of these rookies.

Besides, what exactly did Kaifeng City look like in the Northern Song Dynasty?He also wanted to know.

Because compared to Chang'an City, which they had always wanted to visit, and Kaifeng City, which seemed to be more reasonable in many aspects such as no curfew and layout, it was more prosperous in comparison.

******
Under a somewhat cold moonlight, in the unusually quiet city wall of Xu Haixia, Nie Gouzi's voice, full of expectations, nostalgia, pride and other complex emotions, began to resound:

"According to the idlers in the market, Kaifeng City may have hundreds of thousands of households, with a total population of one hundred to one hundred thousand; I am afraid that compared with the sixteen states of Yanyun in the North, the combined population of several states is even smaller. Ask for more.

When it comes to the busiest time in Kaifeng City, it belongs to the Xiangguo Temple Market, which is open five times a month.

Among them, there are all kinds of birds, cats and dogs, rare animals, and other puhe, mats, screen curtains, washing, saddles and bridles, bows and swords, fruits and dried meat are also dazzling.

As long as you have money, you can buy anything you want, even if you don't have money to wander around, it is still very lively.

I don't know how many young women are walking among them in bright-colored skirts; their picturesque eyebrows and graceful figures are also very good-looking.

Even in normal times, there are restaurants, Qinglou, theaters, and teahouses everywhere in the city.

In the huge city of Kaifeng, there are as many as 72 famous restaurants alone, and countless small shops, which are full of big turbans and merchants.

Even Xiaomin like me can find a place to sit down among the food vendors all over the street after a hard day, order a dime of wine and one or two side dishes, and have a drink with two or three friends to relieve fatigue. .

Thinking about that day now, it’s really good~”

After Nie Gouzi's voice fell, the scene fell into silence for quite a while.

Not to mention all the bitter hahaha, even all the netizens are looking forward to it leisurely under the description of Nie Gouzi.

The difference is that the soldiers and civilian husbands among the people present are imagining that if they go to Kaifeng City to play for a while in this life, this life will not be considered in vain.

As for Hu Biao and other netizens, they yearn for it but also feel a little worried.

Because the people of later generations all know that a prosperous city that gathers the power of the Great Song Dynasty to make offerings, like flowers blooming brocade, and fire cooking oil, will suffer a devastating disaster four years later.

Even after a thousand years, there is no way to restore such a glory...
