Chapter 2 Shocked, the dignified emperor actually did such a thing!
Chapter 2 Shocked, the emperor actually did such a thing!
Gao Dali widened his eyes and looked at the giant city standing in the mountains ahead, full of incredible expressions.
When did such a majestic city appear in Huangzhou? Shouldn’t it be Baishi City?
But Baishi City is obviously just a small broken city with a low wall.
Didn't you go to the wrong place?
Gao Dali rubbed his eyes, then took out the map and looked carefully, and found that this was indeed the location of Baishi City.
"Gao Dali, you are the chief supervisor of the big inner court at least. Why do you look so chaotic? How can you be so polite?"
Emperor Gan Wu frowned, quite dissatisfied with Gao Dali's emotions being out of control. After walking a few steps up, he suddenly froze there, showing a surprised expression exactly like Gao Dali.
Your Majesty, you are so embarrassed to say to me, aren’t you?
Gao Dali said secretly in his heart that he naturally did not dare to show it, and even put his head away, looking like he had not seen it.
The dragon's face is fading, so I can't stand it.
After a long time, Emperor Gan Wu came to his senses, coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and looked at Gao Dali: "Gao Dali, are you sure this is Baishi City?"
Gao Dali raised the map, pointed to the position above, and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is indeed Baishi City."
Emperor Gan Wu finally believed it, but the more he was, the more surprised he was. In his impression, Baishi City was not so majestic. The highest point of the city wall was no more than five feet, but it was more than ten feet in front of him. What happened. .
"Go and go and take a look."
After all, he was a master of art and courage. Emperor Gan Wu called Gao Dali to walk to Baishi City together. He stepped on the mountain road and came to Baishi City. The more he looked, the more shocked he became.
Because there are countless evil beasts lying on the plains, but most of them are not a single corpse intact and are basically broken. And some are obviously corpses from a long time ago, which have rotted and even turned into A bunch of bones.
The plain is not flat, with countless large pits covered with densely packed with black holes, and some of them are still scattered with smoke from the pits, which is very strange.
Whether he was Gan Wu Emperor or Gao Dali, he was both a martial arts master and had a lot of knowledge, but he couldn't tell how these evil beasts were killed. The key is that there were no traces of weapons left on the ground.
"It's so strange. How did they kill these evil beasts?"
Emperor Gan Wu was full of doubts and couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Gao Dali.
Gao Dali shook his head in confusion.
With doubts, one master and one servant came to Baishi City.
After approaching, the two of them opened their mouths wide as they looked at the city wall, because the White Stone City in front of them was not just a sign of appearance, but a real strong city.
The dark red city walls were made of square rocks, and there was no gap between the rocks, and even the sharpest blade could not be inserted into it. Because a large amount of blood from evil beasts was spilled, it looked dark red.
And such a city wall is more than ten feet high.
As solid as a soup, indestructible!
Even in the capital, there is no such solid city wall.
The more Emperor Gan Wu looked, the more frightened and frightened he became. Such a strong city appeared in Dagan. This must be impossible for Baishi City, because Baishi City could not be like this. He came here once more than ten years ago.
Could it be that the barbarians outside the southern desert had already silently invaded the deserted state, seized Baishi City, and built such a strong city under the eyes of the officials of the deserted states?
Damn it, do you not know what the group of wine bag officials in Huangzhou eat?
This is to prepare for invasion of the Gan Kingdom!
The more I think about it, the more I am likely to be. Emperor Gan Wu no longer cares about Li Changfeng's life and death, because in his eyes, the barbarians have already established such a strong city. Li Changfeng, who was originally stationed in office, must have died. He wants to work hard to return to Beijing immediately. , as soon as possible, summoned the army of great cadres, attacked here, regained the lost land, and avenged Li Changfeng.
Before he could turn around and leave, Emperor Gan Wu heard a voice coming from above the city wall: "What are the two people there doing?"
Hearing the question, both Emperor Gan Wu and Gao Dali changed color.
Now the two of them have regretted it very much. They shouldn’t have been on patrol in confinement, and they shouldn’t have been too curious and got so close.
Now it's gone, it's discovered.
Gao Dali immediately whispered: "Your Majesty, I am protecting you, you should leave here immediately."
Emperor Gan Wu shook his head: "No, if you leave now, you will be more likely to be killed. These barbarians can even kill evil beasts easily. It is even more impossible for us to escape. It would be better to say that we are here to do business. There may be some hope of survival.”
Although Ganguo has been fighting with the surrounding hundreds of tribes for many years, he has never cut off business in private. After all, he can exchange things that are of great value to each other, so both sides generally do not kill merchants.
Emperor Gan Wu immediately shouted to the guards on the city wall: "We are merchants from Xiazhou. We came here to do business."
Sure enough, after hearing the merchants, the garrison on the city wall whispered for a while, someone shouted: "Open the door!"
The tall and thick city gate slowly opened. At this time, Emperor Gan Wu and Gao Dali could only grit their teeth and enter the city inside the enemy, and find another opportunity to escape in the future.
After entering the city, the two of them, who had been shocked by the city wall once, were once again shocked by everything in the city.
What caught my eye was a flat and open black road. The ground was paved with neither stone slab nor soil, but countless black stone-like granular things were flattened. When stepped on it, it was not as hard as the stone slabs. It was solid and it was a bit solid. It is soft and it is not easy to hurt your feet when walking on it.
Houses are lined with houses on both sides of the main road, ranging from two or three floors to four or five floors. They are well-established and planned quite neatly, not as messy as other towns.
There were people coming and going on the streets, and there were countless vendors setting up stalls on both sides, making them bustling and lively.
I also saw many warriors from the world.
But what is strange is that the city is lively and peaceful. Even if there are occasional quarrels, there is no scene of fighting, and there is no other place where people kill people at all disagreements.
Emperor Gan Wu was silent. Such a bustling and lively scene was no less than that of the capital. Moreover, the capital was not so peaceful and the roads were not so smooth.
Has the barbarians developed to this point?
How many troops do you have to send to recover your lost land?
Gao Dali, who was next to him, followed Emperor Ganwu for many years, naturally knew what he was thinking. He was also shocked at first, but slowly noticed some truth and whispered to Emperor Ganwu: "Your Majesty, look at it." , none of these people are Southern Barbarians, they seem to be big-minded people, and they speak big-minded language."
Hearing these words, Emperor Gan Wu carefully observed the pedestrians around him and found that it was indeed as Gao Dali said, regardless of appearance, skin color, clothing, or words, they were just like those of a big knight.
What's going on?
Did he misunderstand?
At this moment, a city official led a group of guards to come over and shouted, "Sorry, please give me, thank you."
The pedestrians on the road were not afraid, and they all made way out of the way. Until the city official came to the two, his eyes lit up and said, "I am Zhao Yong, the city official here. I heard that the two are businessmen from Xiazhou. Yes?"
When they saw Zhao Yong, their eyes lit up. This was clearly a big official uniform, not a barbarian, which means that this was a big city.
But when did Shiraishi City develop to this point?
Why didn't the court know anything?
Emperor Gan Wu did not speak, Gao Dali stepped forward and bowed: "Yes, Lord Zhao, we are businessmen from Xiazhou and want to come to Baishi City to do business."
Zhao Yong was shocked immediately. Most of these two people were the inspectors who were secretly visiting.
Listen, this accent is a pure capital accent, and when the businessman is outside, how dare he wears gorgeous clothes so swaying, wouldn't he be robbed?
Especially no one knows how chaotic the deserted state outside Baishi City is better than him.
Only some officials do not know the habits of businessmen, so they disguise themselves in this way.
According to His Highness's intention, we must control these two patrol officials well and not let them tell the public about everything about Baishi City. If you can bribe, you can bribe them, and if you can seize their handle, you can directly threaten them.
Zhao Yong, who had already decided on his mind, smiled and said, "Hahaha, it turns out that he is a businessman from Xiazhou. I heard that there is a famous wealthy place. I wonder if the two of them are doing business?"
Emperor Gan Wu smiled and said, "We mainly manage tea."
"Okay, we have all these in Baishi City. I don't know how much you want." Zhao Yong said, as if he was talking about business, but in fact he was a code word. He wanted to know how much the two inspectors would charge before he agreed. .
Emperor Gan Wu thought for a while and said, "It's about 100,000 taels."
Hundreds of thousands of taels!
Zhao Yong took a deep breath. These two patrol officials were simply lions. They dared to say so much of 100,000 taels. They were really greedy.
Immediately, his face also darkened a little and said, "Sorry, 100,000 taels are a bit too much. You need to tell Your Highness about this. Please come with me to the heaven and earth to have fun together. Oh, have a simple meal, your Highness happens to be the first to tell you about this. It's there too."
"Since that's the case, please lead the way."
Although he was puzzled why Zhao Yong was not only unhappy when he heard the big business of 100,000 taels, but his face became a little ugly, Emperor Gan Wu had already thought of flying to Li Changfeng.
Humph, this kid will definitely be surprised to recognize me later. I must teach this evil son a lesson. Baishi City has become so good that he doesn't tell me at all.
Gao Dali is also ready to watch the show, but the ninth prince is a little unlucky.
"Okay, please come with me, both of you."
Soon, under the leadership of Zhao Yong, the group came to a three-story restaurant.
Emperor Gan Wu and Gao Dali could hear laughter and laughter, playing the piano music, and then looked up at the plaque in the restaurant. The dragon and flying phoenix dance had four big words written: Heaven and Earth!
Seeing this, Emperor Gan Wu smiled and said, "It seems that His Highness the Ninth Prince is not as elegant as the royal family. Even if he comes here, he will create such a good place. It must be a place for literati to gather."
A place for literati to gather?
No, literati likes to visit brothels the most, and what is it if it is not a place for literati gatherings?
Zhao Yong blinked and laughed: "It seems that this master is also a literati, and there must be something you like in it."
When the group walked in, they saw that the space inside was open, and the fragrance of books was everywhere, and it was unique.
On the center stage on the first floor, several singers were playing. Many people in the audience either applauded or hugged one or two women in exposed clothes. Some people reached into these women without any scruples. He was very happy to put his hands in his clothes.
Emperor Gan Wu froze.
Gao Dali was stunned.
Damn, is this a place for literati gatherings?
Isn't this a brothel?
The emperor is visiting brothels?
Are you visiting a brothel?
"Hahaha, are you satisfied with this place?" Zhao Yong looked at the dumbfounded look in his eyes, and couldn't help but give his high thumbs up. His highness is the mentality of these inspectors best, and he doesn't say anything. , and directly bring it to heaven and earth to talk about it, everything is indifferent.
