At the same time, Chang'an City, the Imperial City, and the Hongji Hall where the West Inner Garden are located; as the blades of the waterwheel to cool down and cool down slowly rotate, cool water mist is constantly sprayed from the holes in the walls; or it turns into
In the indoor landscaping room, a gurgling small fountain flows.
In this cool and comfortable atmosphere, the Xijing warden who was leaning on a rock to enjoy the coolness waved his hands in confusion and complained: "Auspicious, why is it auspicious again? Isn't it possible? All those people below have learned how to
Now, do you only report good news but not bad news?"
And as he spoke, there were things placed in the front hall of the palace, held on silk cloth and lacquered wood trays, which were clearly handfuls of grains and other items; among them were corns as thick as someone's calves.
, There are also ears of wheat with grains as big as beans, and millet grains as big as strings of beads.
In addition, beside the pillars at the entrance of the main hall, there are some giant pumpkins that are so big that two people need to hug them; melons as thick as cow legs; dumplings as big as tabletops, just tied with ribbons
Placed on the ground, there is still fresh harvest juice and gravel on it.
And on the table in the middle, which was secretly put together, a cold melon/watermelon as big as a water tank has been cut into half, revealing the extremely ripe bright red flesh inside. This also makes the room feel more relaxed.
It is filled with the unique sweet and fresh aroma of fruits, vegetables and vegetables.
"Your Highness Mingjian, this is not a clever idea of young people, but the product of the Eight Classics of Imperial Mansions and Biyuan." The insider who was beside him, Hai Gong, explained with a smile.
: "I dare not hide it from Your Highness. The products harvested this summer are all extremely large."
"That's it. I was ordered to patrol the imperial properties in various places. Everywhere I saw was rich and abundant, and it was said that it was a rare and prosperous year." At this time, another internal official present nodded and bowed in agreement.
: "Scholars and common people all say that this is the reason why the emperor's way was prosperous."
"The prosperous age of the emperor?" However, His Royal Highness the Supervisor, who was leaning against a large blue stone with a relaxed face, sneered: "From ancient times to the present, has anyone heard of the continuous disasters caused by beasts and the frequent occurrence of monsters?
The prosperous age of the emperor? It’s just an excuse to brag and even deceive oneself and others.”
"Your Highness! This slave deserves to die, this slave is incompetent." Hearing this, Duke Hai and others couldn't help but fell to the ground in fear: "I can't help you share your worries, let alone repay the Holy Majesty; but these things, I have taken the trouble to deceive and hide them from you.
Therefore, it comes from our sincere hearts!"
"Okay, okay, King Gu understands. Don't ask for death at any time." His Royal Highness, the guardian, turned over on the rock again and changed into a comfortable position. He waved his hands lightly and said: "I don't mean to be harsh on anything, it's just this.
This saves the effort of whitewashing the scene."
"If you want to worry about being alone, you should pay more attention to the activities outside. In these days, the number of beasts, ghosts and aliens reported to be killed from all over the pass is probably not more than thousands, right? But I don't know what the effect will be, and the damage will be
There is a certain amount of geometry, that’s what Gu is concerned about.”
"This is all thanks to the strategy proposed by His Highness. The imperial court issued the reward, which made people with lofty ideals from all over the world rush to catch and kill him in order to serve the country." After hearing this, Haigong, who stood up again, couldn't help but be respectful.
He smiled and said: "So, there is a lot of excitement now."
"The imperial court mobilized all parties to offer rewards to catch and kill the aliens in the world. This is not an isolated strategy, but it comes from that person... what is that person's name? By the way, it was Jiang's suggestion." However, the person lying on his back on the rock was.
His Highness the Supervisor shook his head and said, "It's time for him to return to Beijing!"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Wude Division has recently reported that this man has arrived in Gyeonggi Province by boat after handling a public case in Pinglu County." At this time, another internal official hurriedly said: "I think it will be soon.
, will enter Beijing and start taking over the corresponding errands."
"Then let's send someone to investigate one or two more times and give me an accurate message." After hearing this, His Highness the Supervisor also waved his hand and said: "Lao Hai, on the other side of the secret censorship department in Xijing, you should also do a good job for me.
Keep an eye on it and make sure it comes into use as soon as possible, so as to further reassure people."
At this time, another low-pitched announcement came from outside the palace. Immediately, an unsigned letter was presented. His Highness the Supervisor looked at it twice, but couldn't help but stand up from the rock solemnly and said: "Here comes someone."
, go to Uncle Zong and ask about it, but there is still a daughter of the right age."
But Jiang Tian, who was being watched secretly, calmly disembarked from the pier in West Weicang; then transferred to the Jinwu Guards' carriages and horses that came to pick him up and escort him, and slowly headed towards the capital; only this time
In Hekouqiao City, he saw something different.
They are those large and small iron cages waiting for transfer. Most of them are strange animals escorted from various places in the pass. They were all discovered and captured by local officials during this period, with varying degrees of occurrence.
Mutated and deformed creatures;
Therefore, Jiang Tian saw not only cows with six or seven horns on their heads, but also pigs covered with hard tuber shells; horses and monkeys that looked like the legendary mandrills with dog-like faces; and monkeys that seemed to have the same appearance as usual.
But there are some ferocious and irritable big rabbits that gnaw on the iron bars and make noises;
However, both the soldiers and civilians present and the local sergeants in custody seemed to be somewhat accustomed to this; they were just pointing and watching, but there was not much fear or fear. It seemed that during the period when Jiang Tian left
I have seen it many times.
But there are also some unusual corpses of creatures; for example, a corpse with only the upper half left and covered with water plants and algae. Jiang Tian was stunned and did not see what it was; another example was that most of the body was almost flattened.
An extra-large lizard/salamander with only its head left.
And these strange things followed Jiang Tian and his party for more than ten miles; but they did not enter the capital, but came to the southwest corner of Chang'an City between Yanping Gate and Anhua Gate. And here.
, an original temple was transformed into a military camp.
Therefore, under the archway outside the temple gate, Jiang Tian not only saw groups of sergeants with helmets and armor on duty and patrolling; he also saw that the original plaque of the temple had been replaced with a new logo "Zhenping Camp". See
It looks no different from other garrison camps set up in Gyeonggi Province.
However, when Jiang Tian and others were led into the depths of the temple and finally arrived at the Xumi Hall on a platform, they discovered that there was another cave inside. The original Buddhist altar, altar and curtain furnishings were all cleared away, and finally
Only the empty painted walls remain.
However, at the base of the original Buddha shrine, an iron gate was temporarily transformed. As the iron gate and partitions were slowly opened, a deep and cold coolness suddenly blew in.
Wind, and revealed a corridor extending downward.
This corridor has obviously been widened and reinforced, and at least it can easily pass and meet carriages; there are still bright lights shining on the four walls; therefore, walking in it does not seem cramped and tiring; from time to time, there is the sound of running water accompanied by a cool breeze.
It blows out from the corridor.
Therefore, Jiang Tian didn't walk along this spacious corridor for long; after probably passing three forks, he suddenly saw the iron gate and the armored sergeants on duty on both sides again. The leading official showed his identity card.
and talisman, which can only be opened after verifying the password.
After walking out of the iron gate, everything in front of Jiang Tian was suddenly empty, but he saw a familiar but unfamiliar giant underground space. That was the place where he had explored, chased and fought. It was also the origin of many stories and causes and effects.
