Chapter 55 Shaoxian City

They lost half their lives to reach this half of the journey. They were tortured both physically and mentally, constantly suffering and digesting themselves, and finally moved forward numbly.

Fortunately, after passing Shaoxian City, the [-]-mile journey was already over halfway. Looking at the majestic city ahead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"Is this Shaoxian City? I didn't expect that the legendary Shaoxian City would be so majestic. It's no less impressive than the capital city. It's really a fairyland on earth."

"Yes, yes. They say that Shaoxian City is the most prosperous city outside the capital. Now that I see it, I know that what they say is true."

"I think you just don't know enough. Why are you making such a fuss? What does this mean? The Shaoxian City ten years ago was outstanding, and the capital city was completely unsatisfactory. Now that I see it, the Shaoxian City is in a lot of decline. .”

Under the city wall, everyone listened to these words and looked straight at the tall city in front of them. This was the first time they had seen such a magnificent city since their exile.

Shaoxian City is one of the most economically developed cities in Daxu Kingdom. Except for the capital, no city can compare with it. In other words, 15 years ago, Shaoxian City was just a barren and abandoned city.

Later, the border wars continued, and Shaoxian City was located in a pivotal location. After five years of development, it had long been reborn and became an important trading hub in Daxu Kingdom.

Rumor has it that there is nothing you can't think of in Shaoxian City, and there is nothing you can't buy. As long as you have money, you can do anything.

Jiang Zhimiao listened to everyone's chatter. She raised her head and looked up and down at this magical and impregnable city. It could be regarded as an iron-walled city. No wonder it was called the second city in the world.

Just from the countless guards on the city wall, it can be seen that the security factor of this city is extremely high. It is no wonder that businessmen traveling from north to south would rather go far away to do business here. They can sell with ease and the customers can also buy with comfort.

Wang Wu looked at the crowded city gate and waved for everyone to stop: "Quiet, the mountains ahead are endless. It would be a waste of time to bypass Shaoxian City. Today, we passed through Shaoxian The city then goes over Beihao Mountain to reach the official road. Everyone, please line up and follow me."

Mengzhou has many mountains, and the continuous mountains are its characteristic, attracting countless literati and poets to come and enjoy it. However, Shaoxian City is located between Huan Mountain and Guo Mountain. If you want to go there, you must pass through the city. Yes, otherwise you have to climb one of the mountains.

It would be okay if it were an ordinary mountain range. Huan Mountain and Guo Mountain are notoriously difficult to climb mountains. Compared to walking directly through the city and climbing over the mountains, it is really not a wise choice.

Wang Wu sighed in his heart, and then walked towards the gatekeepers outside the city gate.

Following his movements, the eyes of the officers and soldiers also lit up. He said with a smile: "Brother Wang, why do you have time to come to our Shaoxian City today? I heard from my brothers that you have been promoted now. This is incredible. Would you like to find some time to treat me to a good massage, brother?"

Wang Wu patted the man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course, you are not bad either. The gatekeepers and soldiers who have taken charge of the entire Shaoxian City in just a few years have a promising future."

The man smiled generously and said, "Okay, don't be sour. Did you come to me today to ask for something? You, a bastard who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, must have something important to come to me today."

Wang Wu raised his eyes to look at him and laughed: "Hahaha, brother, you understand me. I really have something to trouble you. Aren't we escorting another group of exiled prisoners? You also know the surrounding areas of Shaoxian City. If you climb the mountain If it works, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. I want to go into the city and then walk through the city."

"It's not a big deal. It's all up to me, Hu San. You took good care of me in the past in the army, and this matter is just a matter of words? Wait, I'll send someone to take care of it right away." Hu San patted Holding his chest, he said confidently.

When he finished speaking, he changed the topic and whispered: "It's easy to get into the city. It's just the entrance fee. Now that I'm a new official, there are many people below who are eyeing my position as a gatekeeper. If I don't collect it, it will definitely be impossible. , otherwise, we can just pay a penny per head. I mean, this matter can be settled." "It's as much as you need. The entrance fee can't be less. Come on, take it, here's one or two cents, you can take it. Wait, I'll bring them over right now." Wang Wu took out the money from his purse and handed it over. After saying that, he walked towards the team.

He stood in front of the team and said loudly: "Everyone, please line up. Don't crowd. Come one by one. The officers and soldiers will take you into the city. Don't cause trouble. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wang Wu looked at the crooked team, a deep and cold light flashed in his eyes, and he whipped the ground several times.

Everyone shrank their necks when they saw this, and after a while of rustling, the team neatly followed the officers and soldiers into the city.

"Hahaha, it seems that your majesty is still as majestic as before. You have a stern face, and you are scared to death before you hit them. You are worthy of being the black-faced bully back then, hahaha." Hu San. Looking at his cold expression, he laughed.

Seeing that he was teasing himself, Wang Wu smiled helplessly: "Okay, don't be poor. Thank you this time. Next time I go to the capital, I will do things. This time the task is urgent and cannot be delayed. Let's say goodbye. But don't be happy. You should go back the way you came, and I will give you a good beating then."

Hu San responded happily and smiled broadly: "That's natural. It's not easy for brothers to get together. Even if it means killing me a few more times, I'm willing to do it. I'm afraid you'll leave before you're satisfied with the meal. Come back next time, but You must come and get together with me, I will be waiting for you here."

Wang Wu smiled and nodded: "I know, I will definitely go to your place and give you a good meal. I am here in a hurry this time. Say hello to my brothers and sisters for me. I will leave first without waiting for anyone. Now The two taels of silver are considered a meeting gift from me to my nephew who I haven't met yet. Just accept it. Okay, don't give it away to me."

After finishing speaking, he waved with his back and walked forward quickly, ignoring the man's shouts.

Hu San looked at the two taels of silver in his hand and smiled and shook his head. His brother was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person. Despite his fierce appearance, he was actually more emotional than anyone else.

Watching him enter the city, Hu San stuffed the money into his waist and then continued his inspection with a straight face.

From the outside, this Shaoxian City looks like the gates are just taller than other cities. At most, it has a bit more solemnity. Unexpectedly, once you enter the city, you will find something inside.

Even Jiang Zhimiao, who was more knowledgeable than others, was dazzled.

In the past, it was only during the Lantern Festival that we could see so many people. The sea of ​​people was really spectacular.

The city of Shaoxian is indeed more lively than the noisy capital. The streets are bustling with people. Whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, their faces are filled with joyful smiles. This liveliness dispels the coldness in everyone's hearts. some.

There is a saying that the flowers are becoming more and more charming, and that's it. After all, Jiang Zhimiao hasn't seen such a lively scene for a long time.

However, she used to be a tourist, but now she is just a prisoner. The change of status makes her really helpless. She wants to go shopping, but she doesn't have the conditions.

Although the crowds in Shaoxian City are endless, the thunderous tactics of the Shaoxian City prefect can be seen from the officers and soldiers standing in the streets and alleys wearing official uniforms and carrying long swords.

It is easy to cause trouble when there are many people, not to mention there are thousands of tourists in Shaoxian City. He has carried such a heavy burden steadily, which shows that this person is ordinary.
