The sun rises from the east and sets from the west in Haotu of Shenzhou. Therefore, Shenjing City in the Northwest and Huangcheng Town in the Southwest Town, which are almost at the same latitude, rise at about the same time, but there is an interesting difference between the two places.
That is, when the people of Shenjing City were still asleep, the people of the deserted city of Leizhou Town in the southwest had already woken up and went out for a stroll.
Because Daxia has a vast territory, it directly spans the entire vast land of Shenzhou from south to north, so the temperature in Zhenhuang City in the south is much higher than that of Shenjing City. At that time, short shirts were already worn in Zhenhuang City.
In the early morning, it rained heavily in the deserted city of Southwest Township. The bean-sized raindrops fell on the flat marble floor, making a crackling sound like a symphony.
However, in this big southwest city, since the early morning, the noise has far exceeded the sound of rain, because today is an important day.
Zhenhuang City officially welcomes the crazy influx of people from the whole Great Xia!
In the middle of Zhenhuang City, in the residential area where retired veterans live, there is a pair of smooth feet, stepping on the rain-spattered stone road, trotting all the way, leaving fleeting footprints on the ground continuously, and this The owner of the feet is a young girl with a round face and long braided hair.
The girl held a large orange umbrella in her hand, which looked like a chrysanthemum in full bloom against the black ground background. After a while, the running girl turned a corner, reached out and grabbed the skirt, and jumped up. After nimbly rushing into a house, he began to yell loudly:
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi!"
Among the extremely dense southwest plants in the yard, the girl opened her mouth and turned her head to look around. Then a clear and steady response came from above:
"I'm here, Ziyue."
After the voice fell, the round-faced girl named Ziyue raised her umbrella, moved her gaze to the bushes full of golden-yellow fruits above her head, and then locked her gaze on a tree above it that was slipping. Above the beautiful figure picking the fruit, she continued to shout:
"Xiao Yi, what time is this, you are still in the mood to break the fruit here, we are going to take office today."
"The official opening of the Valley of the Giants is in the afternoon, so don't be so anxious."
After finishing speaking, on the tree, Jin Yi, a girl with slender legs stretched out to both sides, fixed her figure, stretched out her hand and broke off the fruit that was plentiful on the side, and then threw it into the basket behind her with great precision, the voice continued. It was reported that:
"Ziyue, you are still so reckless, how do you guide the people from all over the town who come to our deserted city? You know that my father has a violent temper. If he gets into trouble, no matter how much he pampers you on weekdays." , will inevitably be reprimanded."
Hearing that Jin Yi mentioned the grumpy Lao Jin, Ziyue, who has two cute canine teeth, shrank her head subconsciously, and then she responded with a bit of fear:
"Anyway, I'm right behind you, Xiaoyi. Besides, we are also officials of the sightseeing tour department appointed by the imperial court. Uncle Jin, the old man, can't reprimand me too much."
Speaking of her brand new identity, Ziyue showed a very cute smile, then she stretched out her left hand, waved quickly to Jin Yi above, and continued to speak:
"Come down, Xiaoyi, I can't wait to put on the big robe of the sightseeing tour department."
"Okay, here we come, I really can't stand you."
Accompanied by the helpless voice of the young girl Jin Yi, her vigorous body jumped down from the tall branch and landed steadily. Then Jin Yi flicked her extremely capable short hair, and the brows on her pretty face slightly frowned. , some blame said:
"Ziyue, why are you running here with bare feet, without shoes on?"
"It's raining this morning, am I afraid of getting wet?"
While talking, Ziyue pulled Jin Yi who was on the side to the eaves, then carefully took out a pair of brand new and exquisite shoes from the cloth bag she was carrying on her back, waved them in front of the latter's eyes, and the voice continued road:
"I can't bear to wear such new shoes before the opening of the Valley of Giants. Besides, Xiao Yi, you are not barefoot."
"I climbed a tree, can it be the same?"
After the words fell, the two young girls who looked like southwestern elves looked at each other's bare feet and suddenly smiled at the same time. The smiles were bright, just like the flowers in early summer.
Just when the two girls were full of smiles, the door beside them was suddenly pushed open, and then Lao Jin's burly body stepped out slowly.
I saw this veteran who had made a lot of contributions in the Southwest War and was honorably retired. At this time, he took off the light armor of the Southwest Wilderness Army that he had never left, and put on a straight black tour officer's robe. Even the blond hair that was originally messy has been specially combed and combed meticulously. At first glance, it looks majestic.
After Lao Jin stepped out of the room, he looked at the two young girls with his only remaining eye, coughed lightly, and said in a majestic way:
"I heard a little girl speak badly of this official, talking about officials of the court, how bold!"
"What a powerful official, Uncle Jin!"
The girl Ziyue looked at Lao Jin whose temperament had changed suddenly, laughed and teased, then she stepped to the latter's side, stretched out her hand and patted Lao Jin's one-armed shoulder, and continued to speak:
"As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Uncle Jin, once you wear the official uniform of our court, you really seem to be a different person."
"Of course, although I, Lao Jin, has retired from the army, I still have a lot of strength and can shine in other places. This time, I am honored by His Majesty and the court for allowing me to become a member of the Touring Department of the Wild City. Lao Jin, I will do my best and die after death!"
After Lao Jin finished speaking, he raised his hands and beat his chest, and subconsciously performed a very standard Daxia military salute. For this veteran who had served in the Southern Barbarian Army for half his life, this action was deeply rooted in his bones.
After the military salute, Lao Jin felt the strangeness in the eyes of his daughter in front of him, and his dark face turned red. He hurriedly used urging to cover up his embarrassment, and said:
"You two little fellows, hurry up and change your clothes. We are about to go out. Although a large number of Daxia people will pour in after noon, we have already come to Zhenhuang City last night. Lord Ximan Wang discusses, I will go to visit the Si Yamen first and wait."
After finishing his speech, Lao Jin stretched out his hand to straighten the official robe of the tour guide on his body, and his serious voice continued:
"Girls, it's time for us to catch up, not to mention how long ago, at this time two years ago, all the boys in our town in the deserted city were thinking about killing the barren people, towning the frontier, and occasionally secretly praying for safety Go home, but the battlefield is ruthless, look at your father and my comrades-in-arms, there are not many who can come back, including Ziyue, your father."
After finishing speaking, Lao Jin sighed heavily, a smile gradually appeared on his dark face, he turned his head slightly to look at the rain curtain outside the yard, and continued to speak softly:
"But in just over a year, everything has changed. The sons and daughters of Leizhou no longer need to live in danger every day. What they want now is to go to the academy to study, to travel around the Great Xia, and to enjoy this place. The youthful years, you know, those are the days we dreamed of when we were young."
Lao Jin's eyes, accompanied by his heavy exclamation, seemed to pass through all the houses and obstacles in the rain curtain, and clearly saw the entire Zhenhuang City that had changed greatly.
At this time, the town of Desolate Town, starting from the wild border city wall in the west and reaching the shore of the North Sea in the south, has more than tripled its area. At the same time, in the summer rain, countless buildings that have been built or are under construction have sprung up, bustling and magnificent. , vibrant.
This is a big city that is undergoing rapid change and growth.
This is also Zhao Yu's promise to the people of Leizhou.
Chapter 1081 Respectable and Lamentable
Zhenhuang City under the heavy rain is like an inn that is about to open its doors to welcome guests, and every citizen in Zhenhuang City is one of the owners of this inn, and they all want to transform this southwest city from the bottom of their hearts. The best side of Dacheng is displayed in front of everyone in Daxia.
Therefore, in the past few days, if you walk in the streets and alleys of the deserted city, you will find hospitable people from the Southwest gathered spontaneously in groups of three or five, trimming the branches and leaves of the trees on both sides of the street, green trees and red flowers, Cleaning up the fallen fruits in the forest makes the whole big city look simpler and cleaner.
The hospitality of the Southwest people is engraved in their bones, but behind this city-wide action, there is also a little uneasy beating heart in their hearts, just like today's rain hitting the marble flat ground, up and down, up and down. ups and downs.
Fighting with the desolate people in the southern barbarian jungle for so many years, the children of the desolate city of Leizhou Town have even become accustomed to facing dangerous life and death. .
This is a very different experience, and the people of Leizhou are not only enthusiastic and brave, but also have a stubborn arrogance. They want to do everything best.
Therefore, not only retired veterans like Lao Jin who became officials of the tour department, but also every citizen in the city treated it as if it was a battle. Unexpectedly, it carried a taste of pre-war iron and blood.
Rain is a frequent visitor after the beginning of summer in the southwest of Daxia, so even though today is extremely important to Zhenhuang City, it still arrives as promised, rushing down, and even has a tendency to become bigger and bigger as time goes by.
In the heavy rain, located in the west of Zhenhuang City, very close to the Guanyou Yamen, which is very close to the stone statue tower that goes straight into the sky, a large number of people wearing the official robes of the Guanyou Sili held umbrellas, and hurriedly entered the Yamen from all over the place. , including Lao Jin's family.
Behind Lao Jin who was striding forward, the young girls Jin Yi and Ziyue followed closely, and after putting on the official robes, the two had a special temperament, especially Ziyue, who put away her usual confusion , it looks a lot more capable at this time.
Don't look at the little girl Ziyue who is careless on weekdays, but she is not very courageous. At this moment, looking at the dignified faces around her, as if they were holding their breath before the start of the war, a trace of timidity flashed in their eyes, and stretched out. He quietly grabbed the corner of Jin Yi's clothes.
Then the girl Jin Yi, who looked normal, patted the back of the former's hand lightly, and a reassuring voice came out:
"Take it easy, remember what I said before, and keep smiling."
After Jin Yi's words fell, Ziyue nodded heavily, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, and then continued with a slightly disturbed murmur:
"Smile, Ziyue must keep smiling!"
At the same time, on the Tongtian city wall adjacent to Guanyou Siyamen, there were two figures holding umbrellas standing in the rain, watching the southwestern city below the city wall, which had changed greatly in appearance.
In the eyes of the two people on the city wall, they both carried the vicissitudes of life after experiencing time and sophistication, and then an old but extremely thick voice sounded faintly:
"Sun Sicheng, can you imagine that the large west side of the new city below us, where inns, houses, squares and other buildings are being built, was still a primeval jungle full of dark forts and traps at this time last year?"
After the words fell, Ximan King Zhong Liye, who was wearing a black royal robe, straightened his not burly body slightly, stretched out his right hand and pointed downward, and then continued to speak to Sun Qian beside him:
"Before Your Majesty pacified the Southern Man, the sky-reaching city wall under the feet of the two of us was called the border of hell by the desolate people, because the desolate people in the primitive wild forest behind us left countless lives in the land before the city wall. To them, this is hell."
Although the voice of the old Western barbarian king was flat, it carried a domineering air that almost froze the surrounding space. Then Sun Qian, who was wearing a brand-new Sicheng robe beside him, stretched out his hand to press the city wall in front of him, and responded:
"The southwestern border has not been peaceful since ancient times, especially in the past few years, the desolate people often rioted and stormed the city walls, and even my chief minister had heard a little bit about the danger of this place when he was serving in Wulong Pass on Wuwu Mountain.
"And all the sergeants in Yulong Pass admire you, the old prince, and the entire Leizhou people for their feat of independently guarding the southwest border for so many years."
"Because behind this city wall is our home for generations!"
There was a sigh in the voice of the old Western barbarian king, and then he turned his fingers slightly, stretching out to the huge stone tower below the two, and the voice continued:
"Actually, there were two city walls on the southwestern border, which are at the location of Zhenhuang Square below. Because of strategic considerations, there were two border city walls inside and outside. Not only that, the border city wall and the center of Zhenhuang City , also has a large area of primeval forest as a buffer.”
"The two armies are fighting against each other. If you have a long depth, you will have more choices and can be detoured. Therefore, our human race has always attached great importance to it."
After Sun Qian came out of Sun Qian's mouth with a slightly leaky voice, he lowered his head and looked at the southwest border where a brand new city had already appeared. His eyes were full of emotion, and then he sighed sincerely:
"The world is changing, and who would have thought that the border of hell would become a wider market, and the wild jungle would turn into a new big city, just in the blink of an eye. The world says that the avenues are infinite and manpower is limited, but the energy that can be unleashed by gathering the power of countless people , beyond imagination, because it represents a miracle."
Those who have not experienced these endless changes can hardly understand the emotions of the two people above the city wall at this time, and the completely different scene outside the border city wall is just a microcosm of the earth-shaking changes in Zhenhuang City.
"Actually, many years ago, this king had envisioned how to develop the deserted city of my town if one day I could completely get rid of the invasion of the southern barbarians. My Leizhou guarding the southwest seemed to be out of touch with the rest of the big states in Great Xia. So at that time The most direct thought of this king is to approach the surrounding Fuzhou and Shunzhou.
"However, Fuzhou has world-renowned porcelain, Shunzhou also has fruit that sells well throughout the summer, and I in Leizhou, except for a loyal and scarred barbarian army, can't produce anything that can be traded, so This old man has been thinking about how to find a new way out for the people of Leizhou after the Nanman War."
When the words of the old Ximan king lingered in his ears, the face of Sun Qian beside him gradually became extremely dignified, and then the voice came out word by word:
"The people of Leizi are really admirable and admirable!"
Chapter 1082 Little Brother
"Leizhou is the fiefdom of this king. This king and the entire Ximan king, Zhong Li, not only have to guard the safety of the southwestern border of the imperial court, but also have an obligation to make the lives of the entire Leizhou people better."
During the majestic rain, the old Ximan king's mountain-like voice continued to sound on the southwest border wall, and then the old man, who was half a head shorter than Sun Qian beside him, continued to raise his hand and waved forward, and continued to speak. :
"This king originally thought that the burden of leading the development of the people of Leizhou after the war would fall on the shoulders of future generations, but he didn't expect that God would treat this king well. In just one month, the desolate people were wiped out, the Southern Man was pacified, and the southwest was peaceful."
After finishing speaking, the old prince suddenly smiled slightly, and said with excitement in his eyes:
"So this king has to face the previous problems, but everything has changed too quickly, because some people worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later!"
"Is it Your Majesty?"
After Sun Qian's inquiry fell, the Ximan King nodded and continued to respond:
"On the day when Banshi returned to the court, His Majesty gave me a promise, and also gave me a promise to countless people in the Southwest. Because of His Majesty's promise, this King and all the people in the Southwest leveled the city wall and the deserted city. The jungle between them was paved with a flat and solid stone floor, and a completely different new city was built on it.”
Accompanied by the words of the old Ximan king, Sun Qian swept his eyes under the entire city wall, and saw that in the endless rain, row upon row of houses were lined up side by side, and wide streets criss-crossed. There are trees, people walking back and forth with umbrellas on the street.
All these things together formed an extremely large new city, which was merged with the original town of desolation, forming the real city of desolation today.
The buildings in the new city are extremely novel, and even some of them are still under construction, and to be able to erect such a huge city in such a short period of time, even if the King of the Western Man did not say anything, Sun Qian would know that this is undoubtedly a gathering place. Gathered the power of the whole people of Leizhou.
"According to the plan, this new city, which is closer to the teleportation stone statue tower, has built a large number of inns, shops, and restaurants to meet the food, housing, and transportation of people who come to visit the deserted city from all over the world. Good experience, the king even knocked down the entire inner city wall, imitating the city of Shenjing, and built a huge wild square around the stone tower.
"Sun Sicheng, you should be able to understand that since the completion of this new city, including this king, the people in the entire deserted city of Leizhou Town have been eagerly waiting for that day to come, right?"
Speaking of this, the old Western barbarian king paused for a breath, and then a louder voice rolled out:
"I and all the people of Leizhou have always believed in His Majesty's promise, so I have tried my best to do everything as best as possible. Leizhou Erlang has this kind of energy in his bones, so you can see that there is no It's just you Guan Yousi, all the people in Zhenhuang City are taking action, and today, the day we've been waiting for has finally arrived!"
The voice of the old Western barbarian king was full of excitement, and then the old man with piercing eyes clenched his extremely huge fists and continued to speak word by word:
"After noon, the deserted city of our town will usher in a historic day. Leizhou has no porcelain, and the fruit is not as rich as Shunzhou, but we have a unique advantage, that is, the vast, deep and secluded Nanman behind us jungle.
"As Your Majesty said, the entire Nanman jungle is the back garden of my deserted city, and the opening of the Valley of Giants is just the beginning. When our Shenzhou Haotu has a firm foothold in the land of Taixuan, this king will completely build the deserted city The southern center of the entire Great Xia!"
"Sun admires the old prince's ambition!"
Sun Qian's scarred face beside the old prince showed a smile, and then he seemed to think of something, the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger, and he said with a smile:
"Since the old lord mentioned His Majesty, there is some news that I still want to share with you, Your Majesty. Yesterday, Your Majesty asked for a few places in the Valley of Giants, and said that he wanted to use it for himself. I guess the Holy Majesty should already be there right now. Wandering around the town of Huanghuang."
As soon as this remark came out, the impassioned old Ximan king on the side froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at Sun Qian on the side, and asked with some uncertainty:
"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, especially at this critical moment in the land of Taixuan, will you come to our wild city?"
After the old prince's inquiry fell, Sun Qian continued to raise the corners of his mouth to chuckle, and then responded lightly:
"Your Majesty might not come here alone, but the lord, don't forget that our Majesty loves the Empress Empress the most, and the Empress will give birth soon, so His Majesty will definitely bring her here when she can still move around." Strolling in the Southwest."
Just as Sun Qian's words were lingering on the tall city wall of Zhenhuang City, near the huge city gate facing the east, a group of teenagers and girls holding umbrellas gathered from all over the city. These young people Most of them are not very old, and some of them are still carrying cloth bags woven by their mothers, laughing and laughing at each other, walking quickly through the street, heading for a Daxia Academy near the city gate.
And when these young people passed the first room on the corner of the street, they all stopped in unison, turned around and bowed kindly to an old lady sitting under the eaves not far away, and said in unison:
"Grandma is blessed!"
After the uniform sound of greetings fell, the kind-hearted old lady under the eaves would smile and nod in response, then glanced at the young man in front of her, and asked with a smile:
"Little guys, is there anyone without an umbrella in this rainy day?"
"Go back to grandma, we'll bring them all."
After the young people's response came out, these young people smiled again and continued to move forward, stepping into the Daxia Academy Palace, which had just been built beside the city wall, with white walls and black tiles.
Since this school was built, such scenes have happened almost every day, and the old lady is so happy to ask her every day, and then with the opening of the school, the gate of Zhenhuang City is suddenly empty After he got down, the old man still sat quietly under the eaves, watching the rain curtain flying back and forth in front of him.
In the old lady's old eyes, there is a heavy precipitation of time, like a galaxy flowing in it, turbidity and clarity intertwined, because it has witnessed all the changes in the entire town of Huanghuang.
Suddenly the old man's eyes froze, because two figures appeared in the rain in front of him. The two figures were also young, and a tall and straight young man held an umbrella. Under the umbrella was a protruding belly, pregnant Pregnant woman.
The two were walking slowly in the rain in this deserted city.
