Shi Lan walked out of the carriage and sat next to Qing He who was driving.
After walking out of the narrow mountain road, Shuli changed into the comfortable carriage that she had prepared for a long time.
But compared to the horse riding and the jittering ox-cart, Shi Lan felt uncomfortable with the overly comfortable carriage.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Shi Lan's eyes were attracted to the tall and thick city wall across the distant sky, with the black flag on top of the city fluttering in the wind.
Shi Lan didn't know how far away it was from the horizon. She only knew that it must be far, far away. It was so far away that she couldn't see the entire city wall clearly.
"I saw Xianyang." Shuli's voice sounded from behind Shi Lan.
Shi Lan turned her head and glanced at Shu Li, then looked at the city wall, which gradually showed its outline in the sky.
"It's big."
How big is Xianyang City?
Shu Li has never looked carefully. Archeology in previous lives has learned that Qin Xianyang City is about 7,200 meters from east to west and 6,700 meters from north to south.
But in this world, Xianyang Palace alone is not that big, and the Xianyang City that accommodates Xianyang Palace will only be bigger.
Shu Li just glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze and returned to the carriage.
Xianyang is the capital of the Qin State, and she is the queen of the Qin State. She is the mistress of Xianyang, and the master never laments how big his house is.
I don’t know how long I drove, but I was finally able to clearly see where the city wall connected with the ground, but I needed to raise my head to see the city head clearly, and turn my head to see the width of the city wall.
Shi Lan suddenly noticed that there was a black dragon flag on the carriage driving in front.
Looking back, I found that the carriage behind me was also hoisted with the Black Dragon flag.
"Don't you hang a flag like that?" Shi Lan pointed to the black dragon flag on the carriage in front and said to Qing He who was driving.
Qing He turned his head and glanced at Shi Lan lightly, as if he was thinking about Shi Lan's IQ, but then he looked away again.
Shi Lan frowned slightly.
She always felt that the way Qing He looked at her just now was a little strange, as if he was pitying her?
"Hello? What's that look in your eyes?"
Now that Shi Lan has taken off her high priest's coat, she shows the innocence and willfulness that should belong to her age.
Qinghe drove the carriage seriously, completely ignoring Shi Lan.
Shi Lan was silent for a moment, and then silently returned to the carriage.
After driving for who knows how long, Shi Lan had almost finished counting all the textures in the carriage when the carriage slowly stopped.
Shi Lan curiously opened a corner of the curtain and looked at the endless flow of people coming and going outside.
Soon, the carriage began to move slowly again.
When passing the city gate, Shi Lan couldn't help but be shocked again by the tall city gate.
How many elite troops are needed to capture such a huge city with solid walls and thick gates?
There are still burning torches inside the city wall to provide illumination. Every three steps, there are two Qin soldiers wearing terrifying masks and dark heavy armor made of metal leaves standing on both sides, holding long poles in their hands, with Qin weapons on their waists.
The long sword and heavy armor are composed of front armor, rear armor, mantle, basin collar, arm armor and hand armor. The structure is precise and jaw-dropping.
It can only be said that the strength of the Qin army is not only due to personal bravery, but sophisticated armaments also play a decisive role in battlefield combat.
Shi Lan suddenly met the eyes of one of the guarding soldiers, but soon Shi Lan lowered the curtain and retreated into the carriage.
The terrifying murderous look in the other person's eyes made her very uncomfortable. She hated this murderous and cruel aura.
And the soldier's eyes suddenly showed mockery.
I don't know which pampered aristocratic lady she is, but she must have been frightened by me again, and I'm afraid she will be scolded by the team again tonight.
But there was no worry on his face at all, it was a normal thing for him.
Honor is obtained by oneself on the battlefield and from the heads of enemies, rather than relying on the shadow of one's fathers.
He is ashamed of it.
In the carriage, Shu Li lowered her head again when she saw Shi Lan retracting, and said, "Have you seen my brave warrior of Great Qin?"
Any soldier who can become the guard of Xianyang City, if you pick one out at random, they all have at least the title of "Unchanged", which they have earned through fighting with their lives on the battlefield.
Shi Lan said "hmm", then raised her head to look at Shu Li and asked, "Great Qin. Do all the soldiers of the Qin army have armor as exquisite as the soldiers outside the car?"
"Not all of them are. Based on the different types of soldiers, their armor styles are also different." Then Shuli added, "In fact, on the battlefield, some soldiers prefer to wear light armor or even no armor."
Shi Lan was confused, "No armor? Isn't that very dangerous?"
"Danger? Compared to running too slowly and killing too few enemies, they don't take that risk seriously at all."
Shi Lan was silent.
The Qin army regards victory as faith and killing the enemy as honor. No wonder they fight so bravely and are not afraid of death.
Not long after walking, the carriage stopped again.
Shuli felt that the distance and time were not right, so she opened the car curtain and saw passers-by kneeling on both sides, as if to greet someone.
No need to guess, Shu Li knew who the visitor was.
"Welcome the Queen!"
A high-pitched feminine voice sounded.
Pedestrians kneeling all around shouted:
"Welcome the queen!"
"Welcome the queen!"
Shuli heard who the owner of that thin and soft voice was: Zhao Gao. Because of the memory of his previous life, Shuli had a very bad impression of him, but because Yingzheng had a close relationship with him
.
So three years ago, Shuli found a reason to throw him to Xiqiang, asking him to either die there or come back with the heads of the tribal leaders of Xiqiang.
Now that he is back, I don't know if he escaped or if he completed the mission Shuli gave him.
Shu Li stood up, and under Shi Lan's shocked gaze, she changed her clothes within a moment, and then slowly walked out of the carriage.
A young man raised his head curiously, wanting to see what the queen of their Great Qin looked like, but he was quickly noticed by the kind old father on the side, and then he slapped his head back to the ground, leaving him alone.
No matter how hard you struggle, you can't break free.
However, the young man's eyes widened, and in a blink of an eye, he could barely see Shu Li's face clearly.
He swore on the honor of his old father that he had never seen a woman as beautiful as the queen. His poor vocabulary made him not know how to describe the queen's beauty.
Shu Li stepped out of the carriage and immediately saw Ying Zheng on the carriage looking at her with a dumb look on his face.
Shuli couldn't help but smile and whispered subconsciously,
"pig."
Ying Zheng seemed to understand Shu Li's mouth movements and replied in the same way,
"Hanhan."
This is a word he learned from Shu Li. Although Shu Li never told him the meaning of this word, he felt that it was appropriate to call Shu Li.
Shuli puffed up her face.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have said this word in front of me.
Shu Li got on the chariot specially prepared for her by Ying Zheng.
