Huo Guang found no trace of bonding on the towering city wall.
It was as if the walls of this giant city were naturally formed.
Is this where my brother, who has taken me and my mother for thousands of miles, finally arrived?
So high.
so big.
So majestic.
This was Huo Guang's first impression of this place when he came under the city wall.
After getting off the bus and carriage, Huo Qubing and his party followed the old man to the city gate.
The stories along the way also made Huo Guang full of affection for this old grandfather.
Huo Qubing also realized from the story that the identity of this old man might not be simple, so he simply asked everyone to follow him.
"Third Master, this city is so big. How did your Majesty do it?"
During the conversation along the way, Huo Guang also learned that the king of Liao was the leader who had led the people of Liao to where they are today, and he was like an emperor of the Han Dynasty.
"Oh, this, this is called concrete pouring technology. If you finish elementary school and enter Shanyuan, you can learn it in the civil engineering discipline."
Ma San smiled and touched Huo Guang's head.
Huo Guang scratched his head in confusion.
What concrete is and what pouring is are too unfamiliar to a child who has been living in Han Dynasty.
Even adults, like Huo Qubing and others, are puzzled by the words Ma San said.
Looking at the towering city wall, Huo Qubing also sighed at this huge city, which was even more majestic than Chang'an. He just visually inspected it and saw that the city wall was sixteen meters high, and from the city gate he could see It can be seen that the thickness of the city wall is no less than twelve meters.
There is no way to capture such a city from the outside except from the inside.
As a general, he inevitably simulated the difficulty of capturing this city in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion.
It cannot be won by human power.
There are endless vehicles and pedestrians coming and going.
Huo Qubing and the others also arrived at the city gate. Ma San walked straight into the city gate without being blocked, but Huo Qubing and the others were stopped by the city guards guarding the city.
"Everyone, please stop."
There were no harsh words, and the tone of the city guard was very calm.
But Huo Mu and others, who had seen the city gatekeepers of the Han Dynasty, suddenly became nervous.
You must know that in the Han Dynasty, whether you could enter the city depended on the personal morality of the city gatekeeper. In some cases, such as war, it was possible to peel off your skin when entering the city.
Does it cost money to enter the city?
For a moment, the housekeeper and Huo's mother thought of this at the same time, and quickly reached into their sleeves to get money.
Even Huo Qubing acted like this.
Although this was not his first time here, last time he left in a hurry and had someone to see him off, and he didn't know the rules of Liaoning City.
He took out the money and handed it to the city guard.
Huo Qubing spoke up: "We don't have money for the moment. Look at how much Han money is needed for twenty-three people to enter the city."
The city guard did not reach out to pick it up, but sighed.
"There is no entry fee in Liaodi. Just keep your money. I stopped you because I can see that you are new faces. I need to explain some things to you."
The city guard's words were still calm, without any tone that would make people nervous.
Huo Qubing took back his outstretched hand with some hesitation.
"Well, thank you."
Mother Huo and the housekeeper also loosened their hands in their sleeves, but they still did not take them out.
"It's your job, please listen carefully. The first one is the livelihood regulations. It is not allowed to throw garbage anywhere in the city. There are trash cans on every street. If you have anything to throw away, please throw it in the trash can."
"Article 2: Fighting is prohibited in the city."
"Article 3, it is prohibited in the city."
"."
In one breath, the city guard said five or six regulations that Huo Qubing and others should pay attention to. This writing will be told to them whenever there are new people.
If there are many people, the Department of Justice will gather new people to give unified explanations. If there are few people, such as Huo Qubing and others, they will be informed by the city guards on duty at the city gate.
Huo Qubing and others listened carefully, and couldn't help but sigh at the exquisiteness of this city. No wonder they saw very little filth on the ground along the way, and the most was only the excrement left by various livestock.
"That's all. Remember, as long as you don't break the law in the city, Liaoning welcomes anyone who wants to live a good life."
"Finally, a personal suggestion. Seeing that your clothes are extraordinary, you can go to the bank to exchange some Qi Qian before entering the city. Although Han Qian can also be used, in Liaoning, they are more used as change."
At the corner of the city gate, the city guards completed their duties and expressed their welcome to Huo Qubing and others.
"Thank you for informing us. We will definitely abide by the local laws."
Huo Qubing thanked him.
The city guards no longer blocked them and let go of the fence to let them enter the city.
Walk through the city gate hole that is more than ten meters long.
The world before Huo Qubing and others suddenly became clear.
What rang in my ears were the conversations of people coming and going, and the hawking of vendors in the distance also gave the city a bit more life.
The naughty laughter of children and the loud roars of parents chasing each other tell everyone who comes here for the first time that this is a city where they can live and work in peace and contentment.
"elder brother."
Holding Huo Qubing's hand.
Huo Guang raised his head and looked at his brother.
"This will be our home from now on."
"Well, it's right here."
Huo Qubing lowered his head and showed a smile.
"Excuse me. Do you need a guide?"
A soft female voice sounded in Huo Qubing's ears.
The brothers turned their heads and walked over.
It was discovered that it was a girl who was no more than eleven or twenty-three years old.
Huo Qubing looked at her and asked, "Are you a local?"
The girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, her face was a little blushing, and she could tell that she was a very shy girl.
Huo Qubing frowned a little. Judging from the girl's dress, she should be from a well-off family. How could she be working at such a young age?
"Don't get me wrong, this... this is the social practice assignment assigned by the teacher in the school. I was assigned... this."
The girl explained nervously, holding her clothes involuntarily with both hands.
"Operation."
"Then take us to the bank."
Seeing that the girl was very shy and worried about not being able to finish her homework, Huo Qubing nodded in agreement.
"Okay, ma'am, thank you, I'll take you there."
Seeing that Huo Qubing agreed, the girl was particularly happy, but she still didn't dare to look at Huo Qubing and the others. She walked straight ahead and waved to Huo Qubing and the others.
"The nearest bank is just across two streets. My sister and brother-in-law also work there."
Seeing the girl walking in front, Huo Qubing glanced at his housekeeper, nodded, and followed.
