Chapter 182: Anyi, the capital
The capital of Daxia is located in the middle of Dongsheng Shenzhou, slightly southeast, named Anyi.
Anyi is surrounded by a wide plain. The exits outside the four gates are wide official roads. On the official road, there are many pedestrians coming and going. Although it is now at the time of war, the area around Anyi is very quiet.
Of course, this peace is also formed by strong force to suppress and calm down. These days, the escorts in the capital have been busy, 200,000 phoenix guards, and they can't rest for almost 24 hours. Hundreds of miles around Anyi, the whole one side was flattened.
Under the suppression of such a powerful army, all government, states and counties naturally dare not neglect it. Even those corrupt officials do not dare to make their own small calculations in the face of such a disaster on the whole continent. They have their own personal guards, tens of thousands and tens of thousands of troops left in the cities of the state and counties, and cooperate with the government officials to maintain stability within their jurisdiction.
Three men came from the official road outside Anyi City. The leader is a young and handsome young man, wearing black clothes and a black cloak. Followed by two middle-aged men, one in a cyan shirt and the other in gray-white clothes.
These three people walked leisurely on the road. The passers-by on both sides occasionally looked sideways and thought to themselves. Hey, look at these three, it's really comfortable. In this case, he still walks so freely. I'm not afraid of trouble on the road. However, it's the same. Seeing that it's the capital Anyi, I really dare not make trouble in such a place.
Pedestrians on the road have everything they want. There are also many refugees rushing to prepare to flood into the capital. But these people were stopped by the army outside the gate. Officials set up a ceiling outside the city and began to give porridge and rice to arrange the lives of the refugees. But Anyi Chengzhong, these refugees must not be allowed to enter.
One is these refugees who have suffered disasters for days. Once you enter, you will feel the peace and breath in Anyi City, and there will be any trouble. In addition, in case these dirty-dressed refugees pollute the eyes of the big official, they can't afford to blame the state government.
Therefore, after discussing with the two prefectures of the capital Anyi and Anyi Prefecture, they decided to open the treasury, open a shed outside the city to serve porridge, and prepare countless tents to arrange the daily lives of the refugees. At the same time, the Metropolitan Protectorate joined hands with the soldiers and horses of the five cities, with a total of about 50,000 horses, stationed outside Anyi City and ready to deal with all emergencies at any time.
Three men walked outside Anyi City, looked at the scene here and nodded gently. I said that this is worthy of being the capital of Daxia. This Great Xia country has also stood for tens of thousands of years. There are indeed two brushes. Although these officials have not been in contact with the battle for more than 2,000 years, they can still arrange all the aftermath as soon as possible, which is not comparable to those countries in Nanzhanbu.
When they came to the gate, the three were about to walk in when they were stopped by the soldiers at the gate.
"You three, stop, what are you doing?"
"Ha ha, this big brother, the three of us have something to do when we want to enter the city."
"Oh, what do you do? Where's your official disc?
After Ling Yuan was stopped, he smiled and quietly handed over some scattered silver. Sure enough, no matter when, it is true that money can be distracted. After the scattered silver was handed over, the soldier's attitude was not as cold as before.
However, the soldiers did not forget their duties and were slightly polite, but still stretched out their hands to Ling Yuan and the others to see the official disc.
Ling Yuan looked at it and nodded secretly. The soldiers of the escort of Anyi City are indeed very responsible. After secretly bribed, they can still check their identity certificates so resolutely.
"Okay, look, this is the disc of the three of us."
As he spoke, Ling Yuan took out the official guide given to him by the lord of Jianzhou City and handed it over. The soldier opened it and his eyes widened. He quickly closed the official and respectfully handed it back to Ling Yuan.
"I didn't expect that you were the famous young master Ling Yuan, the leader of the Nanzhanzhou Yan League. Since you three are here, please come here. The villain reported it to Lord Ma Si to enlighten the king.
"Ha ha, the soldier doesn't have to be so troublesome. The three of us want to stroll around the city first. When we come here for the first time, we want to eat some local snacks and feel the local customs of Anyi. If we report to the king now, the three of us will not be free.
"Well, that's right, hey hey, then please. If anything happens, you can come here to Nancheng to find a villain, who has always been on duty here.
Hearing Ling Yuan's explanation, the soldier smiled. I also know that once I have business, I can't be idle. So it is not surprising that everyone will steal a few days when they are on a business. Therefore, the soldiers invited Ling Yuan and the other three in. Ling Yuan nodded slightly to the soldier and bowed his hand to say goodbye.
Entering Anyi City, this Anyi is nearly twice as big as Lin'an, the capital of the Tanglong Empire, the largest empire on the southern Zhanbu continent. The streets are full of people, and the noisy sounds show infinite vitality.
The three walked on the street for about half an hour, and gradually approached the palace according to the map they knew in advance. The imperial palace of Daxia is grand. Ling Yuan glanced his eyes slightly and was surprised. Although I heard before coming here, the palace of Anyi City is huge and magnificent. When I saw it today, it was true that it was more than twice as big as the Forbidden City. Such a huge palace, not to mention Ling Yuan, even Tan Mingzhe, were surprised.
The big vermilion wall with glazed tiles hanging on it. The gate in the center of the front is made of gold, and the square and road paved with white jade in front of it all show the strong national strength of the Daxia Empire.
"Good boy, this palace of Daxia is really shocking. I'm afraid that ordinary people will be scared to death when they see this momentum.
Zhao Hua opened his mouth in shock, and Ling Yuan also nodded slightly. Looking at the people nearby, they all looked at the palace in surprise and were suppressed by its scale. There are many spiritualists among them.
After turning a corner, the three looked up and saw a towering restaurant in front of the road. This restaurant, which can be more than ten feet high and has a five-story attic, is also quite large in scale on this flexible continent. The restaurant also covers a large area. At the door, there are horse stones and dismantling stones, and all kinds of good horses are bolted on the stakes of horses. At a glance, this is the place where non-rich or noble people go.
When they saw the restaurant, the three of them did feel a little tired. After saying goodbye to Bingyuxin and others in Moling Mountain for days, the three almost rushed to Anyi almost non-stop. After a week of delay in Moling Mountain, Ling Yuan felt that he could not delay. That is to say, the three of them have profound cultivation, so they didn't rest all the way, and they won't feel hungry even if they don't eat.
But not having to eat doesn't mean that the three people don't want to eat. This kind of thing is often in mythology. After those immortals go down to earth, they will turn into old men and old women and enter small restaurants to taste wine and eat alone. It's not because they are hungry, but because they are used to it. And the delicious food, even immortals inevitably want to taste it.
walked into the restaurant, which was full of people. On the first floor, most of them are plainly dressed people with guys on their backs, and the people on the first floor speak very loudly. It seems that most of the first floor are mercenaries.
"Oh, the three masters are here. This gentleman, you are the son of a large family. What would you like to eat? In this floor, there are all mercenaries, and they don't pay much attention to their voices. If you want to go upstairs, please. The second floor here is a clean place, and the third floor is elegant. Which floor do you want to eat?
"Oh, that's right, but I think your restaurant has five floors. What are the fourth and fifth floors?
Hearing Xiao Er's words, Ling Yuan smiled slightly. I said that there was such a rule. It seems that the boss here is quite smart. Unexpectedly, the floors are divided. You can invite mercenaries and ordinary people to come to dinner. On the second and third floors, from the light curtain at the corner of the stairs, it is isolated by the spiritual array. Those nobles and young masters are also very clean when they go up for dinner.
"Ha ha, this is your first time to come to us. Didn't you see the sign of our restaurant? It's called Anyi Home. Since it is called Home, the fourth floor and the fifth floor are naturally guest rooms. The fourth floor is a guest room for ordinary people, and the fifth floor is a luxury room specially prepared for princes like you.
"In that case, let's sit down on the first floor. I don't care much about silence, and I prefer to be lively on weekdays. Is there still a seat on this first floor?
Through Xiao Er's explanation, Ling Yuan understood. Looking at Xiao Er talking to the fifth floor, the expression on his face changed a little, with a little envy and jealousy. Ling Yuan immediately understood that the so-called luxurious rooms on the five floors were probably the places for these gentlemen to find some beautiful girls to sleep in. It seems that this restaurant is unusual. It looks like a comprehensive hotel.
Ling Yuan is not particular about eating, and he also wants to understand the current situation through the mouth of these mercenaries. So let him find a table for himself on the first floor.
"This, prince, I'm afraid this is a little..."
Xiao Er looked embarrassed. Ling Yuan looked at it and didn't say anything. He directly handed over a gold deposit. When Xiao Er saw the gold, he immediately looked happy. Zhao Hua, who was beside him, snorted coldly. He hated such a slave-like villain the most.
"Is this money enough?"
"Enough, it can't be used at all. Ha ha, prince, you like to be lively. I will definitely arrange it for you, but as you can see, the people here are almost full. If you three want to be on the first floor, I'm afraid you have to go there near the window.
Seeing Ling Yuan hand over a certain amount of gold directly, Xiao Erle bloomed. Such a gold ingot, even if you want a full meal, you can still have some left. The rest of the money is naturally your own tip. At present, he led Ling Yuan to a window seat. As soon as Ling Yuan saw it, he nodded with a smile, and the three of them sat down here.
