Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 53: : Bye bye

After walking across the Baqiao Bridge, set foot on the main road leading to Eight Dragon City.

Li Zhen kept looking back at the bridge.

Everyone thought that he was worried about the two noble people on the bridge and how the ten heads would end up.

Not really.

He doesn't worry about those things.

Li Zhen just remembered this place deeply in his mind, and murmured: "I should stay in Balong City for a month. During this period, I will sit at this time every day. Waiting for you on the bridge. I come every day, and I will always meet you."

There was a smile on the corner of Li Zhen's mouth, he couldn't help smirking, and thought to himself: I told Zhang Zhi in my dream tonight that although we have crossed time and space, we will still meet under the same starry sky. Let's make an appointment in the future and meet up often.

Traveling through 10,000 years, this starry sky remains unchanged. After going through the vicissitudes of life, we still have intersections...

After passing through the Yanwu Gate and entering the Eight Dragon City, Li Zhen saw many houses with brick and tile structures, which were obviously different from other places along the way.

Most of the buildings in the entire Eight Dragon City are concrete structures.

Things like cement were restored a long time ago. However, the formula was kept secret by the merchants to make a profit. Rare things are more expensive, and the price of cement was raised very high. That is not a building material that ordinary people can afford.

Reinforced concrete buildings are currently only popular with wealthy families in the capital.

Li Zhen sighed. In fact, Kyushu's science is not bad, but the secrecy system is too strong. Basically a monopoly. However, a monopoly must be priced at a high price, and it cannot be promoted at a high price. In fact, it is not suitable for spreading to the common people. This is a disadvantage of society, and Li Zhen can only sigh with emotion.

Entering the main city of Balong City, Li Zhen and Qi Lengzi, who was sober, looked sideways at the bustling surroundings. There are a variety of merchandise stores, but the people along the way are silently standing on the side of the street and pointing, which seems a little deserted.

Li Zhen knew that the fact that he had beheaded ten people on the Baqiao Bridge as soon as he arrived in Balong City probably had spread throughout the capital.

The common people have a hazy attitude towards themselves now, are they afraid of themselves, or despise themselves?

Originally, he planned to walk along the way and take a good look around the Eight Dragon City, but seeing the fearful appearance of the people, Li Zhen could only give up with a wry smile and shook his head.

"Speed ​​up and enter the palace."

Li Zhen jumped into the carriage and sat on the platform.

The forbidden army understood, flattered them, and sped up their speed towards the inner city of the palace.

In the center of Eight Dragon City, there is a building surrounded by high strength, this is the imperial palace.

The city wall is ten meters high, and its majesty is outrageous. Standing in front of the city wall, people feel how small they are.

There are only two gates in the palace, the east gate and the west gate. When Li Zhen and the others arrived at the east gate, they saw the iron vermilion city gate, which was five meters high and three meters wide. The whole body is all metal, not wooden doors.

It is extremely thick.

A door leaf is actually about forty centimeters thick. Roughly estimated, this door probably weighs no less than two or three tons.

The red door was only opened with a small gap, which could only allow one person to get through, but there was a carriage behind, and everyone was riding a horse, but they couldn't get in.

Mingkang had no choice but to call the door: "The guard on duty, please open the door. The number one scholar is going to enter the palace."

On the lintel of the 'crash', a window the size of two palms suddenly opened. Li Zhen jumped back in shock. He didn't realize that there was a room in the lintel above six meters, and there was even a window here.

A head poked out of the window, and said in a cold voice: "The time for officials from the government and the public to get off work is four o'clock in the afternoon, and the east gate is still two hours away. Register first, fill out the form, verify your identity, and then wait." .”

'啪'

As he spoke, the person in the window threw out a notebook. On the top is the information column for visitor registration, and the name and other information of each entrant must be filled in.

Mingkang often writes about filling out forms, but his experiments show that identity is the most troublesome. Don't look at this door for you to open a slit, which can accommodate one person in and out. But as long as you haven't completed all the formalities, if you dare to stretch your neck, you will be killed with a single knife.

Mingkang took the imperial decree from Li Zhen and shouted: "We were summoned by the emperor and brought the imperial decree into the palace."

The person in the window was stunned, and hung down a basket: "Put the imperial decree in and have a look."

Mingkang put the imperial decree into the basket, and he hung it up with a rope. After inspecting it for a while, he put the imperial decree in the basket and hung it down.

"Open the door!"

In the door.

A soldier came to the door, and behind the iron door on the left was a winch that looked like a car steering wheel. The soldier armor held the winch with one hand and began to rotate it counterclockwise.

Very easily, he can twist the capstan with one hand.

And as the winch turned, the door on the left, which weighed several tons, opened slowly.

No sound at all!

Seeing the heavy iron door open, Qi Lengzi exclaimed: "How many horses would it take to open such a heavy door. Why is there no sound when the door is opened?"

Mingkang smiled deeply: "You have to ask the number one scholar about this kind of thing."

Li Zhen chuckled: "It seems that the mechanical engineering of the empire is very developed."

"I don't understand either."

Li Zhenxin was slightly astonished. What was astonished was not that the majestic Kyushu Empire had thoroughly studied mechanical engineering. To my astonishment, is the forging process of the empire so precise?

Don't look at it as just a door, don't look at it as a simple winch that can open the door. There are countless mechanical gears running in this door. This is gear science in mechanical engineering.

It takes a lathe and a ruler to make gears with very fine meshes. Gears are already precision instruments. But Li Zhen can guarantee that there is absolutely no such thing as a lathe in Kyushu.

So he was very surprised, how did the countless precision gears installed in the door come out? He can guarantee that these gears are so precise that the error is no more than one millimeter, because only when the gears are extremely precise can they make no sound when they are running.

Could it be that the empire has researched something beyond the lathe?

Without a chance to think too much, Li Zhen immediately rode on a tall horse and led the way into the door.

A long corridor.

It is at least one mile long, but the width of this corridor can only drive two planes side by side. On both sides of the corridor are the city walls of towering concrete buildings, which are more than ten meters high.

Li Zhen could see that the gaps between many bricks and stones on the wall were very large. It is not difficult to imagine that in wartime, if an enemy rushed into the tunnel. Deadly weapons will continue to protrude from the walls on both sides.

On both sides of the corridor, all the guards stood. Everyone has sabers in their waists, firecrackers in their hands, and is fully armed without squinting.

As soon as the crowd came in, they became nervous subconsciously. Qi Lengzi didn't dare to speak anymore, and followed behind obediently.

Li Zhen stood in front with his head held high. The egg white and other dirt on his face had been washed away, but the wound on his forehead was still bright red.

Pass through the corridor, pass another iron gate, drive straight in, and the road becomes wider.

"Armours stop!"

There was a loud shout from the door.

"Yes!"

The more than a thousand forbidden soldiers who have followed Li Zhen for so long shouted in unison, and then took off their sabers, firecrackers, and armor in unison.

The leader of the imperial army cracked his mouth and smiled at Li Zhen: "The number one scholar, I finally let you arrive at the palace safely, my brother has completed the task. We are going back to the barracks to report, you..."

As he said that, the eyes of the leader of the forbidden army turned red: "Let's go and say goodbye, see you in Jianghu."

Li Zhenxin felt a little sad. Along the way, these people loyally accompanied and protected him. In Yanziji, they talked about leveling two mountains, and they accompanied them to level two mountains. They are the most loyal soldiers.

Walking in the desert, they asked about their health, fearing that they would get hot during the day and freeze at night. I am afraid that I am hungry and thirsty. They are also the most attentive babysitters.

Trapped in Zhashui County, they accompanied them through the poor mountains and rivers. In fact, it is impossible to pass a horse-drawn carriage on that mountain at all. In some sections, they almost carried the horse-drawn carriage on the mountain road. Most of the time, while paving and walking, two people died. They are a great group of workers.

Suffering on the Baqiao, when he was hit with eggs and vegetable leaves, more than a thousand of them surrounded themselves, using their bodies to help themselves resist the anger of the people. Originally, it was eggs and vegetable leaves that hit him, but when they hit them, they were replaced by stones. The common people thought, they are not champions, they are slaves, they are dogs, it doesn't matter if they are wounded or killed.

But at that time, Li Zhen believed that they were brothers. They are a group of great warriors in this empire who defend the country, the interests of the people, and the interests of the country.

I am wronged.

Li Zhen took a deep breath ~IndoMTL.com~ and turned his head to look at more than a thousand imperial guards who had discarded their helmets and armor. He clasped his fists in both hands, and scanned everyone's face with his eyes, hoping to remember everyone.

He bowed deeply and bent his waist to the end.

"Ah!"

"I can't bear it."

"What is the champion doing?"

“…”

Li Zhenlang yelled: "I have wronged all the brothers along the way. Li Zhen is here, thank you!"

In the palace, people walked up and down from time to time, and when they saw this scene, they all sniggered: "I have surrendered my status."

"Go to salute those warriors?"

"An intellectual, going to salute some reckless men who have no education and can only serve as soldiers? It's an insult to gentleness!"

“…”

Following Li Zhen and a group of imperial guards standing on the spot, they didn't know how to express their thoughts, and they couldn't express themselves...

In the imperial palace, in front of the gate, in the corridor, and on the city wall, all the imperial guards looked over.

They all looked sideways, looking down from high, looking from front to back. Get together to watch.

Look at the number one scholar in Kyushu, saluting their humble comrades in arms.

Can't help but be moved. Looking deeply at the young man who was so small that he seemed to be able to kill him with a single punch, he felt that this bow made his figure grow taller.

I can't afford to bow. Mingkang helped Li Zhen get up.

Li Zhen clasped his fist again, and Lang shouted: "Wang Yuanxiang."

Escorting Li Zhen, the leader of the Forbidden Army shouted: "Here."

"See you soon."

After saying that, Li Zhen turned around and strode towards what Mingkang said - the most glorious place in the world.

Wang Yuanxiang looked at Li Zhen's back and went away, feeling puzzled. How did he know if he hadn't told him his name?

murmured: "See you again..."
