"I see...I see..."

The sun sets in the west.

Outside Dingyuan Gate, a broad avenue leads directly into the city. It is more than twice as wide as the previous official road in the countryside. However, despite this, the crowds are getting more and more surging, and they can hardly be crowded.

Outside the city gate is a moat several feet wide, with ordinary people living on both sides of the river.

Cheng Yu and Jia Fei followed the crowd, crossed a large wooden bridge over the moat, and walked to the city wall. There was a large willow tree beside the road.

This willow tree is surprisingly big, and its canopy covers an area of ​​several feet in radius like a canopy. Even if a group of people gather below, they are not outside its shade. Under the shade of the tree, there are even a group of urchins playing among the crowd.

"Oh! Is this Yongjinquan really working?"

"No, I woke up early and saw a lot of water going down. I can see the bottom of the well right now."

"It's strange. Isn't this well right next to the river? Why is it so dry?"

In the center of the crowd was an ancient well, and everyone was talking about it.

Outside the noisy and discussing crowd, there were two literary gentlemen, one white and one green.

'Brother Cheng, the strong water element breath outside Dingyuan Gate comes from this ancient well. It seems that this ancient well is the water element eye of the Five Elements Formation.

Although the well water is now dry, I can see with my eyes that the black water vapor still remains. Is the Five Elements Formation deployed in the capital really no problem?'

Jia Fei opened his eyes and spoke to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu did not answer, but stared at the wisps of black aura rising from the center of the crowd, nourishing the willow branches above it to become extremely lush.

He turned his head and looked at the two rows of warriors wearing golden helmets and armor in front of the city gate. They were scrutinizing everyone who entered the city. Anyone who encountered suspicious people would be searched, so the city gate seemed even more crowded.

After pondering for a moment or two, he sent a message to the cat demon and asked:

'Jia Fei, do you still remember which yamen is usually guarding the city gates in the capital?'

'Uh... I really don't remember this. When I was in the capital, I lived in the inner city. I never came to the outer city alone on weekdays. I only walked through this door a few times with Marquis Jingyuan or his concubine.

...Hey! Little fox, do you know?'

When Hu Can'er heard that Jia Fei called herself a little fox again, she secretly cursed a few words in her heart, but still said softly:

"As early as when the Longtai Rebellion first broke out, my Hu family quickly withdrew from Kyushu and took refuge in a corner of the southwest. Since then, we have never set foot in the capital city. How could I know?"

Cheng Yu nodded lightly when he heard this. If he could believe Hu Meizi's words only three out of ten, he had no hope at all.

As for Jia Fei, even if she knew it, it was already three hundred years ago, and things had already changed.

Cheng Yu had some idea of ​​what they had answered, so while asking the cat demon, he had already found a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes and a decent face in the crowd. After giving the cat demon a look, he walked away.

When he came to the man, he bowed his hands and asked:

"Brother, you are polite."

When the man saw Cheng Yu asking the question, and with a somewhat foreign accent, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cheng Yu from head to toe, and hurriedly bowed and replied:

"Hello, sir."

"May I ask my brother, the golden-armored guards at the gate of the city look majestic and majestic, are they the ones stationed here to guard the city gate on weekdays?"

The man suddenly realized what he said and lowered his voice:

"Oh, sir, he must be a young man from a foreign country who just came to the capital to become a capital official. Then you have just arrived and you don't know. In the past, the inner and outer city gates were guarded by Qiu Ba... um... soldiers from the Military and Horse Division, but sometimes

It will also be replaced by the Jinwu Guard. Today, for some reason, the city gate was opened by the Jinwu Guard early in the morning. I think..."

Having said this, the man subconsciously glanced at the city gate, raised his hand to cover his face, and lowered his voice by three points:

"There must be something unexpected happening inside."

Hearing this, Cheng Yu pretended to be enlightened and bowed his hands to the man to thank him.

Then he took the cat demon who still wanted to watch the excitement and walked to a remote place outside the city gate.

'Give me the tips.'

Cheng Yu transmitted the message.

Although Jia Fei didn't know why, he still handed over the bag of tips as instructed. After Cheng Yu opened it, he took out an ordinary clay warrior doll in his hand.

'Huh? What's the use of this thing, Brother Cheng?'

Jia Fei asked in confusion.

'Nothing, just a precaution.'

After Cheng Yu finished replying, he caged the clay doll in his sleeve, wiped it with his hand to remove the remaining aura coefficients of him and Jia Fei, and then quietly put a very shallow layer of restraint on the soles of the clay doll's feet, and then walked to the spring.

Outside the crowd of spectators in front of Jinquan, while no one was paying attention, he threw the clay doll onto a thick willow branch above the ancient well.

Then he returned his soul to his true form as a sparrow, spread his wings and flew out from the lapel of the cat demon's clothes.

"Pulling!"

'I'll fly to explore the truth, you wait here for my news.'

Cheng Yu sent a message to Jia Fei while flying.

In the blink of an eye, he flew over the two rows of Jinwu Guards. As he passed by, he examined them carefully and saw that there was no spiritual energy leaking out from below. It seemed that those golden-armored warriors were just outside guards of the Jinwu Guards who had no cultivation.

After he passed through the city gate with a whoosh like an arrow, he spread his wings and flew up, finally standing on the high overhanging eaves. His consciousness also quietly swept forward, without feeling the barrier formation.

law and the like,

What was in front of him at this time was an almost semicircular urn city.

This urn city looks quite big, but there are many houses and stalls selling goods on both sides of the main road.

The stalls sell small daily items that are worthless, such as needles, threads, and brains.

Wengcheng is blocked by a tall wall around it, and most areas don't get sunlight. Rich people probably won't live here.

It can be seen that the capital of Daliang has been in peace for a long time, otherwise ordinary people would not be allowed to live in Wengcheng, which is an important military base.

If weapons are used in the future, not only the Wengcheng City, but also the large areas of residential buildings outside the outer city walls may be forcibly demolished and used as defensive equipment and materials.

After crossing the barbican, standing on the city wall and looking around, the outer city of the capital is in front of us.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Rows of brick and tile houses can be seen stretching out in rows, neat and orderly, obviously different from the mixed buildings outside the city.

As far as the eye can see, the outer city alone is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of families.

On the central axis of the outer city, there is an extremely spacious avenue, more than fifty steps wide and more than ten miles long.

At the end of this avenue on the central axis, there is another taller city wall gate, which is the inner city wall of the capital.

From this, Cheng Yu suddenly remembered that when he first met the old hedgehog demon of the Bai family's mother in the mountain valley of Qingluo Mountain, the demon spirit after her death noticed that she had a different physique from Jia Fei, so she warned her. , ordered Jia Fei and I not to come within ten miles of the capital, and then hurried away.

Later, when he met him again in the Confucian Temple of Qianjiang Fucheng, he asked the other party what he meant by these words. The old hedgehog demon changed his words and said that he was just talking casually, and never mentioned Jin Wuwei's Five Elements Formation.

Now that I think about it, either the old hedgehog was deliberately holding back, or she knew that she could easily see the Five Elements Formation barrier, so she didn't reveal it and just clicked on it to remind her.

No matter what, the Five Elements Formation here was broken by Xirong Brahma Gate by chance, which saved me a lot of effort.

But despite this, he was still not at ease, and circled around the city gate again. Even after flying into the city wall, he summoned his soul again. After scanning it carefully twice with his spiritual consciousness, he transmitted the sound to the city through the Qi machine. Cat demon.

Jia Fei was already in a remote and uninhabited place. He changed into an ordinary green cloth gown. After receiving a message from Cheng Yu to confirm that he was safe, he restrained all his aura, bowed slightly, and even his temperament dropped. After three minutes, he could pass through the city gate calmly.

The Jinwu guards guarding the city saw that she was alone, had no luggage, and looked like a fair and frail scholar, so they allowed her to enter the city.

The cat demon quickly passed through the barbican and entered the city. Cheng Yu placed his true form on her shoulder and summoned his soul to stand side by side with her.

Standing on the extremely spacious avenue on the central axis, the cat demon couldn't help but sigh:

'I'm finally back again. Brother Cheng, please look. The avenue in front of you is the Imperial Street of the Outer City...Eh? But why do I see that the Imperial Street of the Outer City is much narrower than before?'

Cheng Yu looked at the avenue that was nearly a hundred paces wide in front of him. It was at least seventy or eighty meters wide. In the previous era of infrastructure madness, it could match the width of the main roads in first-tier cities.

In addition, there are no high-rise buildings on both sides of the imperial street like in the previous life. The highest is only three or four floors, so it looks even wider.

If this is still the width after narrowing, how wide should it be originally?

"What? Brother Cheng doesn't believe it?"

Jia Fei asked.

She turned to look at Cheng Yu and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed in thought. The elf was as smart as her, so she could see that Cheng Yu doubted what she had just said.

"You'll know later."

After saying that, he raised his chin and walked towards the inner city.

There are many shops on both sides of the imperial street in the outer city, and there are many pedestrians and a variety of department stores. The two of them walked straight up and down like this until they reached the gate of the inner city.

The gate of the city was also guarded by two rows of golden armored warriors from Jin Wu Guard. Jia Fei looked up at the plaque with the three characters "Yong'an Gate" written on the gate tower and said with a smile:

"Here! This is the north gate of the inner city: Yong'an Gate. After passing this gate, Brother Cheng will know what the real Imperial Street is."

After saying that, he raised his feet and started to enter the city, but his arm was grabbed by someone from the side.

When the cat demon was stunned for a moment, he was dragged to a remote side road by Cheng Yu.

'Wait a minute or two.'

Cheng Yu stared at the Yong'an Gate and sent a message to Jia Fei.
