Lu Zheng raised his riding whip and made a sound in the air. Two white horses were strong and vigorous. Hearing the sound of the whip in the air, he quickened his pace and soon caught up with the caravan in front.
Compared with the gangsters in the escort bureau, the stewards and masters in the caravan, etc., they are more open to luxury things. It can be seen at a glance that the two white horses are Northland horses, and the frame is made of golden nanmu. , the gold paint strokes and wood reliefs on the outside of the bare building are all of good craftsmanship.
What's even better is not what you can see, but the craftsmanship of the car.
The wheels of his own cart were wrapped in several layers of cowhide, but they still bumped when walking. The cowhide on the outside of the opponent's wheels seemed to be hollow. I don't know how it was made this way. Moreover, the four wheels were uneven when walking. The frame can actually maintain a basic balance, but I don’t know what kind of craftsmanship was used inside. It’s really strangely tight.
"Shopkeeper, last time we saw Mr. Hou's frame, it seemed it wasn't as good as this one."
"Don't stare at people, just look out of the corner of your eyes, okay?"
"Okay, okay, this isn't the first time I've seen you. Are you surprised? Besides, our boss is also a marquis. What's so scary?"
"Of course the Marquis is not afraid, but how did you know that the Marquis would stand up for you?"
"Don't look into the car. If you see something you shouldn't see, no one can save you."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Lu Zheng listened to them in amusement and looked back twice, just in time to meet the flattering smiles of several stewards.
Lu Zheng also nodded, and then the carriage passed by and moved forward. He quickly distanced himself from the caravan behind him and passed through a relatively deserted forest.
"Don't mention it, driving such a carriage saved a lot of trouble along the way." Lu Zheng sat in the carriage, glanced at certain places in the woods on both sides, and then said with a smile.
Of course, they didn't come all the way from Tonglin County in a carriage, but when they were still hundreds of miles away from Zhongjing, the clouds started to drop, and they traveled all the way to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
As for this carriage, it was made by Lu Zheng by combining the technologies of the two worlds, with the great scenery as the exterior and the blue star as the interior. It is the only carriage in the world. Some thieves with a thief heart but no courage would not dare to do so after seeing it. Take action.
In the carriage, Liu Qingyan opened the curtains, looked towards the woods, and asked curiously, "In the great scenery of Beijing, once the capital was only a dozen miles away from the city, there were actually people blocking the way?"
"The imperial city of Zhongjing has a radius of tens of miles and a population of millions. There is no shortage of palaces and nobles. Of course, there will also be poor peasants and homeless people. The presence of robbers more than ten miles outside the city is already a sign of good public security in the city." Shen Ying shrugged.
Lu Zheng nodded. Even the capitals of developed countries on Blue Star were inseparable from robbery and crime. He couldn't have too high expectations for the scenery.
The carriage galloped along the wide official road, and soon it came out of the woods. As soon as it entered the eyes, it was a straight avenue. At the end of the avenue, there were tall city walls stretching for dozens of miles on both sides. On both sides of the avenue, outside the city wall, There are densely packed buildings, residences, inns, restaurants, and markets, with people coming and going, making a lot of noise and bustling.
"This is Zhongjing." Liu Qingyan opened the door curtain, "Why are there so many people outside the city!"
"In the prosperous place of Zhongjing, no matter how wide the city wall is, it is not enough." Si Lingxi said lightly.
Lu Zheng nodded, "In a mature capital city, the population outside the city is generally larger than the population inside the city. After all... living in the capital is not easy, and most of the people are still poor."
At that time, Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was 20 miles long and wide. It had a population of nearly one million, but the population outside the city was close to two million. This can be seen from this.
"What the young master said is true."
A hearty and heroic voice sounded in everyone's ears. Lu Zheng's eyes flashed and he saw an extra person next to the carriage.
He is tall, with a tiger's back and waist, a leopard's head with eyes, a swallow's jaw and a thick beard. He wears a tiger-faced headband, a gold-threaded black cloud robe, a gold-threaded jade belt, and a pair of cowhide boots with Kui pattern.
"Jing Gaoqi, I've met Palace Master Si." The visitor bowed his hands towards the carriage, then looked at Lu Zheng, "How are you doing, Senior Dongyangzi?"
"Lu Zheng of Baiyun Temple has met King Lingwu." Lu Zheng got off his horse and bowed his head as a salute, "My ancestor is well, thank you King Lingwu for your concern."
"You're welcome." Lingwu King Jing Gaoqi waved his hand and said with a smile, "There are two more, I guess they are the Peach Blossom Fairy and the Qing Yi Empress."
Both Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan had records in the court. After this year's Baiyun Mountain New Year Dharma Assembly, the relationship between Si Lingxi and Lu Zheng also entered the court's intelligence system, so Jing Gaoqi recognized several people at a glance.
"I've met King Lingwu!"
Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying got out of the car, and Si Lingxi was at the end, slowly walking out and nodding, "I've met King Lingwu."
"Palace Master, you're too polite." Jing Gaoqi cupped his hands and smiled, "I wonder if there are a few of you who are coming to the capital, can I help you?"
When Lu Zheng and others appeared outside Zhongjing, they did not hold their breath. Instead, after seeing the city wall, they faintly exhaled for a moment, which was equivalent to saying hello to the various experts hiding in Zhongjing and asking them not to be nervous. .
If it were just Lu Zheng, Liu Qingyan, and Shen Ying, there wouldn't be such a big deal, but Si Lingxi was different.
As the master of the Phoenix Mountain in southern Xinjiang, the world's top master, well, after practicing double cultivation with Lu Zheng, the only Fire Phoenix in the world has made great progress, and is a strategic force wherever he goes.
This time she came here, not by herself for a casual stroll. As long as she deliberately concealed it, no one would know, so she showed herself in advance and said hello to avoid misunderstandings caused by being accidentally discovered.
But in this way, there will obviously be no possible surprises.
"Just strolling around." Si Lingxi shook her head.
Si Lingxi took the initiative to show up, and Jing Gaoqi was naturally reassured, so his words were very polite, "The palace master has not been to Zhongjing for many years, and it is the first time for the three young masters Lu, but I cannot lose my courtesy.
How can an ordinary restaurant be worthy of several statuses? Moreover, there is a mixture of people in the restaurant, people coming and going, the beds in the house are not very clean, and it is not convenient to live in.
If you don't dislike it, why not live in Prince Lingwu's Mansion? This generation of Prince Lingwu is more important to me... Anyway, he is my descendant. The environment in the mansion is acceptable and he deserves to be respected by you. "
Si Lingxi did not answer, but looked at Lu Zheng.
Jing Gaoqi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Lu Zheng with a more solemn look.
"Don't bother me?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Don't disturb me, of course I won't disturb you." Jing Gaoqi waved his hands repeatedly, "There aren't many people in the palace, it's mainly a quiet and elegant place, suitable for living."
"Then thank you King Lingwu, I'm sorry for bothering you." Lu Zheng bowed his head and thanked him.
"You're welcome, hahaha!" Jing Gaoqi laughed loudly and stretched out his hand to say, "Please!"
