"If someone needs to cross this suspension bridge, just lower it and wait until night to pull it up. If no one needs to cross the bridge, just keep pulling it. Today we came early and no one has come yet."
Su Wan looked carefully and saw that the width of the rift valley was seven or eight meters. If there was no suspension bridge, except for those with so-called martial arts skills who could jump across, there would be no need to think about anything else.
Therefore, once a war breaks out and the army retreats to the other side of the rift valley, it is impossible for the enemy to send large troops there. At that time, as long as they send people to guard, one will kill one, two will kill a pair.
It is indeed very difficult to capture Licheng. Unless you can break out from the inside, it is not easy to break into the territory. Even if you want to instigate the people, people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a happy life. Silly You have to do this kind of thing.
The suspension bridge slowly fell and then landed on the ground. A guard went up first to explore the way. Li Lin handed Shi Zai to Hui Feng, and then pulled Su Wan towards the suspension bridge.
Su Wan walked on the suspension bridge and thought about the abyss below. His legs were still a little weak. If he fell, he would be shattered to pieces.
And the wind was a bit strong, yes, it made her feel chilly.
Li Lin held her hand and said with a smile, "Are you scared?"
Su Wan said honestly: "A little bit, but it's not bad."
Although her legs were a little weak, it was not impossible to walk, but maybe she was just too courageous. In the past, her friends would dare to go to a place like the Glass Bridge, which she would never dare to think about.
It should be that she would not do anything dangerous.
It's better for her to stay in a safe place.
Li Lin smiled: "Then let's go."
The suspension bridge was not long, and they walked across it quickly. When they reached the solid ground, the carriage behind them began to cross the bridge. When the carriage came over, the group got on the carriage again and set off.
About half an hour later, they arrived at Hongyang City. When they arrived at Hongyang City, they could be considered as arriving at their own territory. Li Lin originally planned to rest in the city for a few days before leaving, but Su Wan was really tired. I don't want to be delayed any longer on the road.
The most important thing is...the weather in June is really hot.
So the group did not stop, crossed the city, and continued walking forward.
It took another two days before we arrived at our destination—Licheng.
Licheng has been established for more than two hundred years. It was originally a deserted land. After years of development, it has evolved into Licheng today.
It is said that when the Li family first chose the name, they took the meaning of "Peach Blossom Land, Away from Right and Wrong" and the word "Li", which means "away", away from the disturbances outside.
Because it is the first city established in this place, people outside also call the territory Li city. If this word is said outside, it covers the entire territory, but if it is said within the territory, it refers to the entire territory. The main city of the Thirteen Cities is Li City.
The size of the city is not inferior to that of the Imperial City, nor is it inferior to the bustling bustle of the Imperial City. Stepping into the city gate and walking through the streets, you can see numerous shops with a dazzling array of goods, pedestrians coming and going, and the sound of hawking can be heard all the time.
Hui Feng bought Shizai a bunch of candied haws and he was very happy to eat it.
Su Wan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and couldn't help but said: "When I came here, I haven't eaten anything else yet, but I started to eat the candied haws. Is it so delicious?"
Shizai couldn't help but nod: "It's delicious, the fruit is sweet."
Shizai likes sweet things, but the hawthorn fruit inside is a bit sour. He actually doesn't like eating it very much, but he also likes candied haws. In line with the principle that it can't be wasted, he can only eat it.
This time, the candied haws he bought contained a sliced pear, and he was even happier.
"Mom, this is delicious."
Su Wan pinched his chin: "Let me see if your teeth have worms?"
Shi Zai hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth: "No, no, Zai Zai didn't eat too much. The last time was a long time ago."
Su Wan raised his eyebrows: "Then you have to take care of yourself. If your teeth are damaged by eating this, you will have no teeth, and you will not be able to eat anything."
Shizai nodded vigorously: "I know."
Shizai sighed. His mother was always worried about his broken teeth. In fact, he took good care of his teeth. He would rinse his mouth and brush his teeth after every meal, and he would also rinse his mouth after eating candy. His teeth were much better.
Maybe my mother thought her cub would be ugly if his teeth were broken, so she was so worried.
Li Lin reached out and touched his head: "Why do you love sweets so much?"
When Shi Zai heard this, he immediately said, "I look like my mother, and my mother loves to eat."
"Don't." Su Wan refused to take the blame, "Don't blame me. I don't like this kind of sweet and greasy stuff. Even if I want to eat it, I'll get tired of it after just one or two."
Shizai rolled his eyes, then looked at Li Lin: "Then I must have returned to my ancestors."
Li Lin slapped him on the head: "Thank you, none of your ancestors love eating sweets as much as you do."
Shizai pursed his lips and said in disbelief: "That's not necessarily true. I have so many ancestors, even those from my maternal grandfather's family. There must be some people who love sweets, but you just don't know it."
Li Lin choked and rubbed his hair: "Strong words."
"That's not true," Shizai said, "I will definitely come up with evidence later."
"Okay, I'll wait." He looked to see what evidence he could come up with.
The carriage passed by the street for about an hour before it stopped. Li Lin lifted the curtain of the car window and took a look, and then said: "We're home, let's go down."
Their group had a long journey and stopped and stopped at will, so there was no exact time for their return. Moreover, if there was nothing particularly important, Li Lin's whereabouts would not be known to anyone, so they came back very suddenly. There was nothing prepared.
When the carriage stopped and the people accompanying it were seen, people from the mansion hurried over, and the mansion became lively.
"It's the young master, the young madam and the young master who are back!"
"The master is really back!"
Li Lin has been away a lot since he was a child, and rarely came back when his father and mother passed away. Counting over and over again, he has not been back for eight years.
The old housekeeper came in a hurry, almost crying.
"The young master is back!"
Li Lin smiled: "Uncle Zhong, I haven't seen you for many years."
"Yes, I haven't seen you for many years. The young master has grown up." The old butler, Uncle Zhong, wiped his tears. He was over fifty years old. He was wearing a blue narrow-sleeved robe, but he was in good spirits.
He looked at Su Wan and Shi Zai, smiled, and said with some relief: "These are the young madam and the young master. I have met the young madam and the young master."
Li Lin introduced: "This is my wife Su's A-Wan, and this is my son A-Shi, A-Wan, and this is Uncle Zhong."
