Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

The road surface of this road is gray and white that they have never seen before, and it looks very smooth. Of course, this is not the point. Both are fine!

The people who originally thought that the road into the mountain might be a narrow path were deeply shocked, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should set foot on that road.

The two little ladies who were chosen to act as fronts looked at these hesitant people standing in front of the road very confused, why didn't they leave?Is their image not good enough?It shouldn't be, this set of clothes is newly issued, and the city lord specially designed them for them, it's very pretty.

Xiao Xuan noticed that the frame stopped and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

The leader of his guards trotted all the way over and whispered something in front of him, Xiao Xuan was very surprised, hesitated for a moment and said: "No, that's it."

At this time Xiao Zirong and Xiao Xuexing had already come to the front, Xiao Zirong, as the host, naturally wanted to lead the way, but Xiao Xuexing was worried about him.

After Xiao Zirong walked to the front, he looked at those people hesitating, not knowing whether to continue riding the horse or change the car, and finally understood a little.

But he didn't say much, just smiled and said: "This is not far from Taoyuan City, everyone hurry up, you can still catch lunch."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, many people were worried whether Xiao Zirong would mock them. Although they all said that King Xuancheng had a good temper, those who were taken away by the prime minister and sent back after offending King Xuancheng were too miserable. Now, everyone has doubts about this good temper again.

Seeing King Xuancheng see the same performance as if he didn't see it now, I have a higher opinion of him in my heart.

Xiao Zirong just felt that it was meaningless to use his tongue for a while, and he just wanted to provoke those young gentlemen to fight, so that they would all get hurt or be taught by the elders not to bother him.

Why should people lose face because of this matter now?

He and Xiao Xuexing rode side by side, their backs were straight and their backs were straight and graceful, no matter what their positions were, they still couldn't help admiring the beauties secretly behind.

Just as Xiao Zirong said, Taoyuan City is not far away on the main road.

Xiao Zirong reckoned that it was almost here, then turned to Xiao Xuexing and said, "I'll report to His Majesty."

Xiao Xuexing also went with him, and Ling Fu led the way.

Xiao Zirong approached Xiao Xuan's carriage and said, "Uncle, not far ahead is the main entrance of Taoyuan City."

Xiao Xuan also looked out through the car window along the way. The road had already surprised him. What was even more surprising was that there were fence-like things built on both sides of the road, but it was shorter than the fence. Those fences were planted with Some unknown flowers and plants, although not expensive enough, make people feel full of vitality in this winter.

Xiao Xuan pointed to those fences and asked: "What is this for?"

Xiao Zirong glanced at it and said: "It is to prevent the cows and horses from accidentally running outside, and it is also to prevent some small animals that suddenly jumped out from startling the cows and horses."

Xiao Xuan nodded clearly, this design is not bad, he asked a little strangely: "It doesn't look like it's made of wood, is it made of stone?"

If it is a stone, money is one aspect, and more is manpower.

Xiao Zirong smiled and said, "It's a special new material. I'll show my uncle some time after I enter the city."

Xiao Xuan could only put his curiosity in his heart first, and continue to look forward, because out of curiosity, he had someone open the car door, and he was not afraid of the cold.

Soon he was thankful that he had someone open the car door, otherwise he might not be able to see the city wall that surprised him.

In the past, Xiao Xuan always felt that there was no city wall as majestic as Jiankang, but some people said that the city walls of Chang'an and Luoyang were also very tall, but according to records, they were at most equal to Jiankang.

And after seeing the city wall of Taoyuan City, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, visually... the city wall seems to be higher than Jiankang's.

And because the line of sight is not wide enough, the city wall looks like a moat.

At first Xiao Xuan was only surprised by the height of the city wall, but after he glanced at it, he found that the city wall was not only high but also had two arrow towers at the corners on both sides!

Xiao Xuan's eyes were much better than his son's. He vaguely saw that there seemed to be a huge utensil on the watchtower, but it was blocked and he couldn't see clearly.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's surprised look, Xiao Zirong couldn't help but feel a little proud. Looking around, not only Xiao Xuan, but also the ministers who came with Xiao Xuan and his entourage all stared wide-eyed, just like country bumpkins entering the city.

Xiao Zirong thought to himself, where is this?There are many things in Taoyuan City that will surprise you.

At the same time, I was very arrogant in my heart, thinking that you looked down on Taoyuan City before, and thought that our road could not let the Emperor Luanjia go, so you have been slapped in the face now, right?

Xiao Zirong complained about those people in his heart and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we are about to enter the city."

Xiao Xuan nodded, the closer he was to the city, the more he could feel the height of the city wall. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Xiao Zirong and asked, "How high is this city wall?"

Xiao Zirong knew this by heart, and immediately said: "If you don't count the walls, it's about two feet, if you count it, it's close to three feet."

The people next to him pricked up their ears and listened carefully when they heard the emperor's question, and couldn't help but gasp after hearing Xiao Zirong's words.

You must know that even Jiankang's city wall is less than two feet high, converted to a unit of about six meters in later generations, and Taoyuan City is close to ten meters if the wall is counted. What is the concept?It is probably a little more than the height of a three-story building in later generations.

This height is nothing in the eyes of later generations, but it is already very high now.

After Xiao Xuan was surprised, he smiled and said, "You are safe here."

Xiao Zirong immediately said: "That's right, before the Northern Wei Dynasty sent people to sneak in, more than 300 people came, and they ran to me for some reason, none of them were let in, and they were all blocked from outside. Later, brother... When the regent came, he took all those people prisoner."

Xiao Xuan was a little surprised: "Northern Wei sent people here?"

Xiao Zirong turned to look at Xiao Xuexing, Xiao Xuexing leaned over and said, "I haven't had time to tell Your Majesty that there is a pier over there. I don't know how the Northern Wei Dynasty bribed the owner of the pier and sent three ships to sneak in at night. The minister got the news in advance and sent people to guard there, but in the end, only two ships were caught, and the other one disappeared, and it was only later that I found out that I got lost in the dark and got here in Taoyuan City."

Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked: "Did you win the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Xiao Zirong said very reservedly: "It's about the same, but if there is no regent, I'm afraid I will let some of them go."

His expression was reserved, but what he said was not reserved at all. For a while, many people were skeptical. Intellectually, they didn't believe what Xiao Zirong said, but when they looked at the tall city wall again, they didn't think it was impossible. It is said that there were few people coming from the Northern Wei Dynasty, so what if there were more people coming from them?Can you really go up the city wall?

Now it is estimated that there are few such high ladders, right?

Because they saw the city wall, many people felt lucky about changing horses for a while. Sitting in a car is not as clear as riding a horse.

Not to mention them, even Xiao Xuan is like this.

Xiao Xuan thought for a while and said, "Bring my horse here."

Although he has a bad leg, it doesn't matter when he is on a horse. The only thing that matters is getting on the horse, but he is the emperor, and there is always someone who can help him get up.

Compared to him, Xiao Ji is a bit miserable. Xiao Ji can ride a horse without any problem, and it's not a gallop, as long as he arranges someone to lead the horse in front, but what's the use of him getting on a horse?At first glance, it is all foggy, and the color of the outline can be faintly distinguished, but it is impossible to see clearly.

However, Xiao Zirong used to be short-sighted too. Knowing that people with high myopia are not actually blind, but can’t see clearly, everyone put him in the same category as blind people. Although they can’t see clearly, it’s better than sitting in a car and being bored Qiang then asked, "Brother, do you want to come out to take a breath?"

Xiao Ji was a little moved, but still shook his head and said, "Forget it."

There are so many people riding horses, and if you get a slave to lead the horse in front, you have to carefully avoid people, and you will still be on the edge in the end. This is something that can't be solved, even Xiao Xuan can't solve it.

Xiao Zirong stretched out his hand directly to him and said, "Come on, come on, my brother gave me this horse, it's great, we'll be fine together."

Xiao Xuexing at the side: ...

I didn't send you a horse to let you carry other people!

His expression was subtle for a moment, and he quickly adjusted, silently following Xiao Zirong's side without speaking.

Xiao Ji was very happy after hearing this, but he still turned his head to look at Xiao Xuexing's position. Although he couldn't see the face clearly, according to the information he got before, the regent should be by Xiao Zirong's side.

He asked Xiao Xuexing: "Is what Rong'er said true?"

Xiao Xuexing glanced at Xiao Zirong and said: "Yes, this horse has good stamina. Rong'er is young and not heavy, so it doesn't matter if His Highness rides with him."

Xiao Ji happily got on Xiao Zirong's horse, the only thing that made Xiao Xuexing feel better was that Xiao Zirong let Xiao Ji sit in front.

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Ji realized that Xiao Zirong had actually grown up. Sitting on a horse, he was even a little taller than Xiao Ji, only his figure was still between a boy and an adult.

Xiao Zirong and Xiao Xuan led the way forward. After Xiao Xuan came out, he saw the whole picture of the city wall. The closer he got, the clearer he saw it. He suddenly asked, "Is the thing used for this city wall the same as the fence just now?"

Xiao Zirong nodded and said, "Yes, not only these two things, but even the kind of things we used on the road we walked just now."

All of a sudden, many people became interested in this thing, still wondering if it is a unique product in the mountains?But before the Wen family lived here for nearly a hundred years, they never heard of such a thing, did they?

The city gate was also made of cement, which was extremely thick. When Xiao Xuan and the others approached, the city guards pushed open the city gate, knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Welcome the city lord to return to the city."

Xiao Zirong: ...

Who made this?There is an emperor beside him!

Just as Xiao Zirong was about to say something, he heard Xiao Xuan jokingly said: "Earlier Lang told me before that you would soon become a 'daughter country' and I didn't believe it, but now it seems to be true, even soldiers They're all girls."

Xiao Zirong smiled and said: "There were so many little ladies living in that bandit village back then, I always have to find a way for them to survive."

After he finished speaking, the officials following behind him couldn't stop nodding. Patriarchy belongs to patriarchy, but at some point men and women are the same, and they all have one life. It is impossible to really take the lives of these little ladies.

After entering the city, Xiao Xuan couldn't help being stunned when he looked around, the scenery he saw was completely different from what he imagined.
