Lin Ye's current state of mind is actually more calm than that of an old man, and even the elderly are not as calm as him.
But even so, Lin Ye was still a little excited at the thought of entering Geling soon.
Geling, the people of Dayu, everyone's heart yearns for it.
There was a poet who traveled all over the world. When he came to Wuwei County, he heard about my mother-in-law and came to visit her.
Lin Ye once asked what Ge Ling was like.
The poet said that it is a mountain, a sea, and a fairy island floating in the clouds.
Lin Ye was still young at that time and did not understand the multiple meanings of the poet's words. He only felt that every word was full of praise from the poet.
Entering Geling this time, Lin Ye recalled the words of the wandering poet on the road, and suddenly he understood a little more.
For the people of Geling City, Geling is just a mountain, a mountain that can never be climbed to the top.
For the civil and military officials in Geling, Geling is a sea, a sea formed by people's thoughts. It can lift people up or drown them.
For those who yearn for Geling but have never been to Geling, Geling is a fairy island floating in the clouds.
You can use all your imagination on this, exhaust your thoughts and talents, but you still can't describe the entire appearance of Ge Ling.
For Lin Ye, Geling is a spiritual practice.
He must go to Geling to have a look. This is the center of Dayu and has infinite scenery.
His aunt once tried to pave the way for him in Geling in advance, but in the end it was too late and the road was not paved.
But now Lin Ye no longer needs to pave any roads to enter Geling.
At the age of seventeen, he is a third-rank general. This kind of thing is rare in Dayu's more than two hundred years of history.
Although half of Lin Ye's three-month special leave has been used, the remaining half is just for walking on the road.
However, the emperor specifically explained that the time on the road does not count. Lin Ye can take a walk after arriving at Geling and there is no need to rush back to Yunzhou.
The sentence "No need to rush back to Yunzhou" means that Lin Ye cannot stay in Geling for a long time and must go back when he should.
Geling, there are so many places Lin Ye wants to see.
It is said that when the sun comes out after the rain, the Suzaku Tower changes into a thousand colors in the clouds.
According to legend, you have to climb 999 steps to get a clear view of the Fengyu Temple Prayer Hall.
According to rumors, there is a Qingyu River with a long flow of eight hundred buildings and the most beautiful scenery in the world for anyone to swim in.
There are too many rumored things in Geling, and every one of them makes people feel that if they don't go and see it, it will be a regret in this life.
Finally, the team stopped outside Geling City, and the officials who stayed behind in Geling came out of the city to greet them.
The emperor has not returned to Geling for a long time, so the people present to greet him include not only the civil and military officials of the court, but also noble ministers. At a glance, they are all important people.
Someone once said that if a seventh-grade county magistrate with an external seal comes to Geling, it is best to treat himself as an ordinary citizen and keep a low profile.
Because you don't know if the person you stepped on on the street is of a higher level than you.
It is said that the pawn on duty at the gate of Geling City may have an ancestor who contributed to the founding of the country.
Only large families that have been inherited for more than a hundred years can barely be called aristocratic families. In Geling City, there are many families that have been inherited for hundreds of years.
The emperor came down from the imperial carriage and met with the courtiers who greeted him. He said some words that sounded insignificant, but the courtiers had to laugh with the emperor.
Lin Ye's thoughts were still diverging and were not here at all.
He looked up and saw that the plaque on the huge tower was bigger than the gate of Yunzhou City.
When Lin Ye arrived at Yunzhou City from Wuwei County, he stood outside the city gate and looked up.
At that time, he thought that a door in Yunzhou City was bigger than the city gate in Wuwei County.
Looking at it now, I feel that Yunzhou is not that big anymore.
There are a total of fifteen gates in Geling City. The middle gate to the south is called the South Meridian Gate, and the one to the north is called the North Meridian Gate.
This is the first time Lin Ye has seen such a city gate tower, so the way he stares at it makes people think that he has no knowledge.
The gate tower of a city gate has three levels of stairs.
It is not the same structure as an ordinary three-story wooden building. If so, Lin Ye would not be so shocked.
What I saw when I looked up was the city gate tower on the first floor. There was a second floor on the city wall, and another floor above that.
To put it simply, it has three floors and three buildings. The width of the South Meridian Gate city wall is wider than the main street of Yunzhou.
When you say hello to the people inside at the South Meridian Gate, you probably have to shout as hard as you can, otherwise the people on the other side may not be able to hear you clearly.
No wonder it is said that Geling City will never be breached. The thickness of the city wall means that even if a huge stone falls from the sky, it may not be able to collapse in one fell swoop.
Xumi Pianruo stood next to Lin Ye. Lin Ye looked up, and he looked up too.
"When I first arrived at Geling, I spent more time looking at it than the general. My neck was sore and I couldn't lower my head. I didn't know what I wanted to see. Anyway, I just wanted to keep looking."
Xumi Pianruo said: "I heard that the tiles on the South Meridian Gate gate tower look the same in thickness, but the patterns of each piece are different. If you look at it from a farther and higher place, it will be different." You can see that the tiles form a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."
"Three floors and three buildings. The tiles on the first floor look like the Piaomiao Sea, the tiles on the second floor look like Wanliyuan, and the tiles on the third floor look like Yunding Mountain. From low to high, they are the mountains and rivers. Everything.”
Xumi Pianruo sighed: "When I first saw it, I couldn't help but think..."
Lin Ye answered: "How much will it cost?"
Xumi Pianruo couldn't help but laugh, almost appearing rude because he laughed too loudly.
"Yes... I did think so at the time."
Xumi Pianruo said: "Later I heard that the materials used to build the South Meridian Gate were all demolished from the capital city where Emperor Taizu conquered and destroyed the country. To be precise, they were demolished from the imperial palace."
"Emperor Taizu spent half his life in the army, destroying more than ten countries, and demolished more than a dozen palaces and transported them to build the South Meridian Gate."
"The dragon luck of more than a dozen palaces is only allocated to Dayu to guard the gate."
Speaking of this, Xumi Pianruo was still fascinated and had to admire the might and domineering power of Emperor Taizu.
"I probably won't be free tonight."
Xumi Pianruo lowered his voice and said: "If the general has some free time tomorrow night, I will accompany him for a walk on both sides of the Qingyu River."
Lin Ye said: "Qingyu River really has 800 buildings?"
Xumi Pianruo: "There is no eight hundred."
Lin Ye hummed.
Xumi Pianruo said: "There are more than nine hundred."
Lin Ye turned his head and looked at Xumi Pianruo, who smiled and said: "After all, it is one of the most profitable businesses in the world, and this is Geling."
No matter how outrageous you see something, you find it unbelievable. If someone explains...this is Geling, then everything will become reasonable.
He said to Lin Ye in a low voice: "There are more than 900 people, but there are not at least dozens of girls in a family?"
He raised his head: "I once made a great wish. If I can always be an official in Geling and have enough money in my hands, I will..."
When he said this, he sighed.
"Five years, I have been an official in Geling for five years. Of course I am not short of money, but my body does not support me to continue to realize this ambition."
Lin Ye: "Ahem..."
Xumi Pianruo continued: "When I first arrived in Geling, I made a plan for myself."
"I want to see the nine Optimus Primes on Wuwei Mountain, I want to see the flying divine phoenix in Fengyu Temple, I want to see the thousands-colored Suzaku Tower in the clouds... It's been five years."
He looked at Lin Ye: "I didn't even go out to Qing Yuhe."
Lin Ye: "..."
Xumi Pianruo said: "I can't finish it. I can't finish it at all."
He said: "Later I found out that the men who came to Geling for the first time were all like me, they would make hypocritical plans, but they were all the same. If they went to Qingyu River, why would they go to other places... ...It’s not interesting, it’s not interesting at all.”
Lin Ye couldn't help but ask: "Even though there are more than 900 beauties and there are thousands of beauties, aren't they all the same?"
If Xumi Pianruo's face looks like a stick, you must still be a stick.
He smiled and said: "General, you will know if you go there in the future. How can it be such a simple thing? There are so many tricks. It's endless to try. It's impossible to try them all."
Lin Ye: "..."
He really couldn't think of how many tricks there could be for this kind of thing, and what fun it could be. Just thinking about it... he couldn't think of anything.
Xumi Pianruo looked at Lin Ye's expression, not unfamiliar at all, because he knew that when he first came to Geling, he was also so naive and uninformed.
At this time, the emperor and the courtiers had already begun to move forward, and Lin Ye and the others followed.
Some people cast kind smiles and friendly glances at Lin Ye, although they might not know who Lin Ye was.
Xumi Pianruo said: "The general will be very busy when he arrives in Geling. There will be countless people in Geling City who want to get close to the general...and there will also be countless people who will regard the general as an obstacle."
Lin Ye: "I won't stay in Geling, who can be my obstacle?"
Xumi Pianruo said: "If the general can live in Geling for a few years, he will understand. In the eyes of many people in Geling, even if you are just walking in front of me, you are my obstacle."
He sighed softly: "The people in Geling are more unpredictable than the people in Qingyuhe."
At this time, Zinai was also stunned.
Compared with Yunzhou, Geling is simply a fairyland.
The first thing to say is...big.
Every building, every facade, and even every pillar is bigger than the one in Yunzhou.
Then it looks expensive. No matter what store it is, it looks expensive.
Also, the people in Geling are really beautifully dressed, and every piece of clothing is prettier than the clothes in Yunzhou.
Xie Yunxi looked at Zinai's look and couldn't help but smile. She remembered that she looked similar when she first returned to Geling from Yunzhou.
She left Geling too early and too young, and her memory of Geling is fuzzy.
Zinai is now lying on the car window, her eyes are completely inadequate, which is exactly what she looked like back then.
"Auntie."
Zinai turned around and said, "There are more delicious food in Geling City than in Yunzhou."
Xie Yunxi hummed: "Yes."
Zinai was a little regretful: "Then... if we only stay in Geling for a month, how can we finish eating? If we can't finish it, we can't finish it just thinking about it. Anything we can't eat is equivalent to waste. ”
Children are children, and the thought of not being able to taste all the delicacies in Geling makes her absolutely feel bad, so bad.
"You can stay here forever."
Xie Yunxi said: "Your brother is a general of the border garrison and cannot live in Geling permanently, but you can."
Zina curled his lips: "That won't work, no matter how many delicious food there are, they won't be as interesting as my brother."
Xie Yunxi smiled.
The world of a child is really not big. Sometimes it is only as big as one person. If it is older, it will be as big as two people.
She also looked out the window.
Geling is very big, beautiful and prosperous.
But she didn't want to stay in Geling, it was... so strange after all.
