Chapter 262 Daci Pavilion

After walking around Baozhou City all day and night, Jiang Xiaobai wanted to go in for a long time.

It just so happens that there is a free tour guide here, saving myself from bumping into it.

"Master Bao thinks I should go to the city?" Chang Zilong said, "Master Bao thinks that they have prepared the departure fee?"

"That's not necessarily true." Jiang Xiaobai said: "Anyway, let's go in and meet that Zhizhou. It's best for him to give money. If he doesn't give us money, we will still leave as scheduled."

"Zilong, listen to Master Bao!" Chang Bubai said: "Master Bao is a master of the Tao, he told you to go, you go, don't ask those messy people."

"Then I'll go!" Chang Zilong said to the messenger soldier, "Tell the person, I'll go out right away!"

"Give me a set of clothes for a box soldier, and I'll be your own soldier!" Jiang Xiaobai is now wearing a set of clothes for a granary guard, and there is also a set of modern clothes inside, which looks nondescript.

"Don't dare, I'll follow Master Bao's lead!" Chang Zilong bowed and saluted, and the celebrity came in a suit of soldiers.

Although this is the cleanest set of clothes, it also smells a little bad and has a few holes, making it feel shabby after wearing it.

Chang Zilong was much better. He even had a set of chain mail, cowhide boots, and a black cloak, and he immediately had the domineering look of a soldier.

In addition to Jiang Xiaobai, Chang Zilong chose two of the strongest soldiers, four of them, and rode out of the camp on the only four horses in the Xiang barracks.

Outside the camp, the three Zhizhou subordinates were impatient and said, "Master Chang, why are you so slow?"

"Arrange military affairs!" Chang Zilong clasped his hands together and said, "You three, please lead the way!"

"Let's go!" Seven people, seven horses, immediately galloped on the dirt road.

This place is only ten miles away from the west gate of Baozhou City, so hurry up and arrive soon.

The vermilion gate, the majestic city wall, the bottomless moat, the banners flying above the city wall, and the city guards lined up, the momentum is incomparable to Yizhou City.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help feeling that in the era of cold weapons, it is definitely not an easy task to conquer such a city.

Throughout history, Baozhou City has encountered wars many times, and the city walls seem to have no effect.

The key is people, a group of soldiers with no fighting spirit, even if the city wall is raised by three feet, they will not be able to stop them.

On the way here, Chang Zilong briefly introduced Baozhou City.

Baozhou City can be regarded as a large city in Hebei, the scale is second only to HD in the south. The city wall is three feet three feet high and one foot six feet wide at the top. Watergate.The Daqing River flows around the city, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Starting from the four gates, two main streets divide Baozhou City into four equal parts. The northeast is the seat of the state capital, the northwest is the residential area of ​​wealthy families, the southeast is Fangshi, and the southwest is the civilian residential area.

Entering the west gate, you will step onto the widest and most prosperous Yuhua Street in Baozhou City.

Although it was morning, the streets were full of people, all kinds of early peddlers shouted at the top of their voices, there were shops selling rice, wine, cloth, rouge and gouache, and most of the pedestrians on the road were leisurely. The wild dogs lying on the street eating leftovers are also chubby, a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

Jiang Xiaobai was a little emotional, it has only been a year since the end of the war, where do these people feel safe?

The battle is about to start, and a war is about to break out in Yizhou City, which is close at hand. Why can't the city feel the tension before the war at all?
Does everyone believe that after the Song and Jin alliances and the destruction of the Liao Kingdom, there will be peace forever?
Soon, the group came to the intersection of North-South Avenue and East-West Road, and not far ahead was the location of the government office.

The majestic government office is several times larger than the county office in Yizhou City. There is a pair of stone lions at the entrance, and there are seven or eight government officials on each side.

There is a moon gate across the street, through the hollow carved brick wall, Jiang Xiaobai can see the pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, weeping willows and lotus ponds inside, and it has the feeling of a Jiangnan water town.

A small boat was rippling on the pond, and several delicate women were paddling and picking lotus, and occasionally they would let out bursts of laughter like silver bells.

But none of this is what attracted Jiang Xiaobai. Jiang Xiaobai's gaze had already passed the cornice of the government office, and stared at a 300-meter-high building - the most iconic building in Baozhou - Daci, more than 30 meters away. Pavilion!

There is really a Daci Pavilion in this era, so if the gate of the [-]th time and space is opened near the Daci Pavilion, it will be equal to the center blooming!

"Master Bao, we're almost here." Chang Zilong said apologetically, with a distance of more than a hundred meters from the government office, "According to the regulations, I can only go in alone. My personal soldiers..."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said: "I know, you go in, you handle your business, and I will handle mine."

Chang Zilong was still a little worried, and said, "Master Zhizhou is busy with work, and I don't know when I can come out after I go in. This..."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll look around. If you can't find me after you come out, you should do whatever you want. Before the army starts, I must feel that the Jiazi Battalion will join you."

"The villain's family, young and old, all depend on Master Bao!" Chang Zilong was really worried that Jiang Xiaobai would disappear suddenly, but he couldn't say anything, so he just bowed his hands and continued to move forward.

When they came to the gate of the government office, everyone got off their horses, and the horses were all tied to the horse stakes.

Chang Zilong waited for Zhizhou's call, while the two guards squatted near the horse tie post and waited. They continued to cup their hands and walked towards the direction of Daci Pavilion.

Daci Pavilion was originally built to watch the movement of the Liao people in the north. It has an official nature and is not a temple.

It was only later that it gradually evolved and its military functions gradually decreased, so that it became popular.

Today's Daci Pavilion is neither an observation tower nor a temple, but a hotel called Wangbei Tower.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Jiang Xiaobai came to the vicinity of Wangbei Tower, looking at the vendors selling various snacks and the smell of food in the air, thinking about the era he lived in, Daci Pavilion was shrouded in smoke all day long , there are vendors selling joss sticks and yellow paper all around, and even a whole circle around the Daci Pavilion, there are so-called masters who measure characters and make fortunes everywhere, it feels like a world away.

Since it's a restaurant, let's go in and have a taste.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled wryly in his heart. From two or three o'clock last night to now, he has been eating and drinking almost all the time. Although the food is not good, there is not much food in his stomach at present.

But what can I do, I can't go into a restaurant and look for a fortune teller!
After tidying up his clothes, Jiang Xiaobai walked forward with his head held high.

Standing at the gate of Wangbei Building were two guys in gray cloth with white towels on their arms.

The two guys first looked at Jiang Xiaobai differently, then stretched out their hands together, blocked the door, and shouted: "Go, go, a boxer also wants to come to visit the North Tower? Wait at the back, after lunch, you can eat swill!"
