Chapter 59 Valley of the Kings
When it comes to the Valley of the Kings, the sky has completely dimmed.
Around the dragon, there is a flat river all the way to the Valley of the Emperor, which is a little turbulent.
From afar, this place is like a dream.
Countless tall temples stand in the amiable clouds, magnificent.
Even if it is the palace of the palace, it is not as tall and magnificent as the temple here.
More than a hundred emperors finally returned home, and dozens of miles of continuous palaces were astonishing as the Jiutian Xuan Palace.
It's so spectacular.
Around the Valley of the Kings is a continuous pine forest and forest.
At a glance, it is lush.
It's just that this is the imperial mausoleum, and people are not allowed to live and cultivate, so at this time, it looks particularly gloomy.
Walking on the Shinto that goes to the Imperial Mausoleum, on both sides of the Shinto is a dense, tall and ferocious stone beast, which is also made into a lifelike stone elephant.
Most of them are mythical beasts.
Walk another 100 meters forward. On both sides of the Shinto, there are Weng Zhong stone statues, one by one more than three meters high, wearing gold armor, holding sharp weapons, extremely powerful.
Weng Zhong was a god in ancient times, jealous of evil like hatred, and thunderous prestige.
The construction of the Weng Zhong statue on both sides of the Shinto is the symbol of the imperial mausoleum of the Dragon Soul Continent.
There are many forests around the mausoleum, so at this moment, the fog is hazy.
Cai Wei leaned on Wenxin in fear and looked around nervously.
Dabao and Zhang Zong couldn't help looking around at this moment.
At this time, I heard a light from far away on the Shinto.
Looking carefully, it was a group of bodyguards in gold armor, and they were the forbidden army guarding the imperial mausoleum.
"Who is in front of you, the forbidden place of the imperial mausoleum, no one is allowed to break into it. If you go further, let's kill it.
Immediately, I heard a general shouting in the distance.
"I'm the Prince of Weiyuan. There is something I want to show you to the command room."
Say this, Liu Xia turned over and disarmed, and went alone towards the other side's praetorian guard.
At this time, one of the other generals also hurriedly turned over and got off his horse and walked to Liu Xia.
"Weichen, see Prince Weiyuan, Prince Qiansui."
"Exemption from courtesy."
With that, Liu Xia took out the token in her hand.
When the general saw the token, he couldn't help looking up at Liu Xia in astonishment, and then hugged his fist and said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Then, the general hurriedly retreated, turned over his horse, and went to the depths of the imperial mausoleum.
After about a quarter of an hour, the general turned back and said with a cough, "Wait back."
Immediately, the guards behind him retreated one after another.
At this time, the general held his fist and said, "Your Majesty, Hu Wei has set off. Please go on your way."
"Let's go?"
Liu Xia couldn't help but be stunned.
"The prince, don't worry, Hu Wei will follow you all the way. Say goodbye."
After saying that, the general turned around and left.
Liu Xia couldn't help but be curious. It's so mysterious. What's the reason for this Huwei?
Then, Liu Xia returned to Dabao.
"Is it over?"
Dabao watched Liu Xia come back alone and couldn't help asking curiously.
"It's over. Let's go."
Immediately, Liu Xia turned over her horse and took everyone to the direction of Longdu.
Along the way, Liu Xia looked around and looked for the shadow of Hu Wei, but he didn't see anything.
The people who followed Liu Xia were also curious. Liu Xia ran around the imperial mausoleum, but she didn't see anything. She didn't understand what he was doing.
When he returned to Longdu, he went around the outer city and went straight to the southern official road.
The goods will go seven or eight days earlier than them. If you want to stop them in Guanshan, you have to catch up quickly and endlessly.
When the goods arrived at Guanshandu, they entered the water transportation network in the south and could exchange for a larger ship, so they went back there for a short stay.
Their time is limited and cannot be delayed.
The group of people rushed on the road day after day and ran for four days in a row. Even the first-class wind-chasing beast was a little tired.
For good, by the morning of the fifth day, they finally arrived at Guanshan Ferry.
Guanshandu is the meeting point of north-south transportation and the junction of north-south transportation.
Most of the transportation in the north is gathered here, so this Guanshandu is extremely prosperous.
A group of people then entered Guanshan City. This Guanshan City is more spectacular than Weiyang. The endless caravans, shops on both sides of the street, shoulder-to-shoulder, endless pedestrians seem to be more noisy than Longdu.
Especially the Guanshan ferry wharf, which is even more full of people, and the flow of ships is endless and magnificent.
The last emperor of Daqing, Emperor Yuanxiao, was a mediocre king.
In the 43rd year of office, the people of the Daqing Dynasty did not make a living, and they mourned everywhere. In the end, the dragon capital broke through the city and committed suicide in the palace.
However, the only good thing the emperor did was to re-unblock the north-south shipping and build the world-famous Longyuan Grand Canal.
And this Guanshan ferry also emerged at that time and became a water conservancy hub for north-south shipping.
Compared with Weiyang, there seems to be less cultural heritage here, but the 500-year-old ferry culture has also made it the center of the integration of North and South cultures.
Among other things, the snacks here are integrated with the northern and southern styles, which is really the best in the world.
Dabao sat in front of a hawker stall and ate happily.
Everyone ate happily and went to Guanshanyi.
When he got there, he saw Liu Liansheng waiting at the door.
Just as he was about to salute, Liu Xia stopped him and said, "Let's deal with the case, so don't come to these false gifts. Go in and say."
Entering the post hall, this post hall is very lively.
Only officials and eunuchs are eligible to use the post station of the Tianji Dynasty.
So, those who live here are all dignitaries and have a southern accent, which is basically heard here.
Liu Xia entered the post station and looked at the teenager curiously. He was young, but with a group of masters, he couldn't help guessing that he was the young master of the prince.
Entering the room, Liu Liansheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the goods will arrive in the afternoon. In order to delay them, his subordinates asked the Caoyun officials along the way to deliberately set up a check. It delayed their two-day trip. Otherwise, I really can't stop them."
"I said why they haven't arrived yet. I was afraid it would be too late."
Liu Xia said that this batch of goods is transported by sea, not by the imperial court. If it is transported by the people, the government is naturally qualified to check.
"Where are our people?"
Liu Xia asked.
"It has been arranged on the dock. Once they change the boat, we will come out to check. If you find that the batch of silver, it will be deducted.
Liu Liansheng said.
"Well, let's freshen up and wait at the dock."
Liu Xia said.
Immediately, everyone bathed and changed their clothes, washed away the dust of the past few days, took a short rest, and then went to the dock.
Guanshan Ferry Pier is one of the largest docks in the north.
When I got there, I couldn't help but be shocked by the thousands of weather here.
Although the north is rich in water, it is not as good as the water town in the south.
The waterway in the north is far wider than the waterway in the south.
Therefore, the size of the cargo ship in the south is much larger and more magnificent than that of the cargo ship in the north.
When the goods from the south arrive here, they have to change into small boats and continue to go north, while when the goods from the north arrive here, they change into large ships and continue to go south.
Therefore, the scale of this wharf is unprecedented in Liu Xia's life.
On the dock, there are endless crowds and long queues of vehicles. It's so spectacular.
"Your Majesty, the goods are moored at Pier 4. It's almost there."
Liu Liansheng said.
"Let's go."
Liu Xia waved her hand and headed towards Pier 4.
At this moment, at Pier 4, there is a big ship in the south unloading, which is very busy.
Tong Da made up as a picker for them and was helping to unload the goods on the boat.
"Your Majesty, that ship is there."
Liu Liansheng stretched out his hand and pointed, and Liu Xia saw a northern cargo ship parked behind the two southern ships.
There is a mark of Cao Gang on the cargo ship, and the flag of Weiyuan Dart Bureau is inserted, waving in the wind.
The cargo ship has a deep water. Obviously, the cargo is very heavy and the quantity is also very large.
The darts on the deck and the guys of the Cao Gang are waiting to unload the goods at this moment, very leisurely.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the two big ships in front of them finished unloading the goods. They went to the next pier to reload the goods and returned to the south.
At this moment, it was finally the turn of a cargo ship to unload the cargo. The clerk on the ship stepped on the sampan and got off the boat impatiently. The darts got off the boat and blocked on both sides and looked around alertly.
"Your Highness, will you do it?"
Liu Liansheng said.
"Wait for their goods to go ashore."
Liu Xia said lightly.
At this moment, Liu Xia saw the wooden boxes one by one meter square from the boat of Cao Gang. The boxes were extremely heavy, and the pressed ssam was slightly bent.
In less than half an hour, the boxes were piled up all over the dock, densely packed, and the Cao Gang's carriages had been waiting on one side for a long time, ready to load and set off.
"Go. Investigate them."
Liu Xia waved her hand slightly, and immediately Liu Liansheng walked towards the dock.
"No movement, the government will handle the case, routine inspection. Everyone stand aside."
Liu Liansheng immediately shouted loudly. The disguised Yulin army around him immediately controlled the goods one after another. Tong Dawei took off the clothes outside and exposed the yellow flying fish clothes of the imperial army. At that moment, the people in the Cao Gang retreated one after another.
Flying fish uniform is a kind of official uniform. As mentioned earlier, only the guards in the palace are qualified to wear it.
Generally, people wearing flying fish suits are seen outside, and nine out of ten people are from the Metropolitan Court.
Cao Gang thought it was the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, but he dared to say anything and hurriedly got out of the way.
Even if they are the darts masters of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, they all dodged one after another.
It seems that the name of the Metropolitan Prosect is really unscoverable.
Liu Xia, Cai Wei and others hurried to the dock.
At this moment, the two brocade guards carried a large box and put it in front of Liu Xia. They immediately opened the seal with a waist knife. In an instant, everyone around them couldn't help taking a cold breath.
The box is packed with neat, white and white silver.
A piece of silver is about a hundred taels of ingots. In such a box, there are at least three or five hundred.
A box is 30,000 taels.
"Look at the others."
Liu Xia said.
Immediately, other boxes were also opened one after another.
As a result, without exception, all of them are silver. In addition to silver, there are also some rare gems. The goods of this ship are at least 15 million taels.
This is still an astronomical figure.
At this time, Liu Xia gave Liu Liansheng a wince.
Liu Liansheng immediately drank: "This batch of goods is suspected of being illegal. Where are all your shopkeepers?
At this time, a leader in the Cao Gang suddenly fell to the ground with a bang, and then twitched all over, and then he was out of breath.
The rest of the guys were all dumbfounded. Even those darts masters were all godless.
Which one is staged in this blue sky and day?
