C283 Da ci lu

After walking around the Baozhou City for an entire day and night, Jiang Xiaobai had already wanted to go in to take a look.

Coincidentally, there was a free tour guide here, which prevented him from messing around inside.

"Master Bao thinks that I should enter the city?" Chang Zilong said: "Does Master Bao think that they have prepared the starting fee?"

"Not necessarily." Jiang Xiaobai said: "Anyways, let's go in and meet up with that governor or whatever, it's best if he gives us the money, even if he doesn't, we will set off on schedule."

"Zi Long, listen to Master Bao!" Chang Bubai said: "Master Bao is a man of great dao, he told you to go, then go, don't ask about that mess."

"Then I'll make a trip!" Chang Zilong said to the messenger, "Tell him to come over, I will go out immediately!"

Give me a set of soldier's clothes, I'll be your personal soldier!" "Jiang is now wearing a guard uniform for the granary along with a modern outfit that looks out of place.

"I dare not, I, Master Bao will follow your lead!" Chang Zilong bowed and the famous person went to put on a set of clothes for the soldiers.

Although it was the cleanest set of clothing, it also had a rotten smell to it. Furthermore, it had a few holes in it, making it feel extremely shabby after wearing it.

Chang Zilong was even better. He actually had a set of chain mail, leather battle boots and a black cape. He immediately had the domineering aura of a soldier.

Aside from Jiang Xiaobai, Chang Zilong also chose two more Janitor s. Four people riding the four horses that he only had left the camp.

Outside the camp, the three governor's men were already impatient from waiting. "Master Chang, why are you so slow?"

"Arrange some military affairs!" Chang Zilong cupped his fists and said: "The three of you, please lead the way!"

"Let's go!" Seven people and seven horses immediately galloped violently across the dirt road.

The distance from here to the west gate of Baozhou City was only five kilometers.

The vermillion gate, the towering wall, the unfathomably deep moat, the flaunts on the wall, and the guards all lined up in a straight line. Their auras were simply incomparable to that of the Yi Zhou City.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh. In the era of cold weapons, wanting to take over a city like this was definitely not an easy thing to do.

Looking through history, however, the city walls seemed to have no effect as Baozhou City encountered many wars.

The key was still there. Even if a group of soldiers with no fighting spirit were to raise the city walls by another ten feet, they would still not be able to stop them.

On the way here, Chang Zilong gave a brief introduction of Baozhou City.

The city walls were three zhang tall, and the top was three zhang wide. They formed a strict square, each side was two hundred and forty zhang long, with four city gates and two water gates. The Great Qing River wound around the city, making it easy to defend, but hard to attack.

Using the four gates as the starting point, the two main streets divided the Baozhou City into four equal parts. The northeast was the location of the prefecture, the northwest was the residential area for the wealthy families, the southeast was the city square, and the southwest was the residential area for the commoners.

Upon entering the west gate, one would have to step onto the broadest and most prosperous street known as Yuhua Street.

Although it was morning, the streets were crowded with people, all kinds of breakfast hawkers shouting at the top of their lungs. Rice, food, wine, cloth, rouge and powder were sold everywhere. Most of the pedestrians were carefree, even the wild dogs eating leftovers at the end of the street were rotund.

Jiang Xiaobai was a little emotional. Wasn't it only a year since the war ended?

They were about to set off, and war was about to break out at Yi Zhou City that was just a hair's breadth away, why couldn't they see the tense atmosphere before the battle at all?

Could it be that everyone believed that Song Jin's alliance, after extinguishing his Liao Kingdom, would be eternally peaceful?

Soon, they arrived at the intersection of North and South Street and East and West Road. Not far in front of them was the residence of the magistrate court.

It was several times larger than the Yi Zhou City. There was a stone lion at the entrance, and there were seven or eight yamen runners on either side.

There was a Moon Gate on the other side of the street. Separated by the carved brick wall, Jiang Xiaobai could see many pavilions and pavilions with small bridges and flowing water.

A small boat was swaying on the pond. A few pretty girls were paddling and harvesting lotuses at the same time. Occasionally, they would let out a laughter that was like silver bells ringing.

However, none of this attracted Jiang Xiaobai. His gaze had long since passed the eaves of the mansion and was fixated on a thirty meter tall building over three hundred meters away — — Baozhou's most iconic building — — The Great Tender Pavilion!

In this era, there was actually a Great Tactics Pavilion. If two or five Portal of Space-time were to bloom near the Great Tactics Pavilion, it would be equivalent to blooming in the center!

"Master Bao, we're almost there." When they were still more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, Chang Zilong said apologetically: "According to the rules, I'm the only one who can enter, my Janitor …"

Jiang Xiaobai laughed: "Alright, you can go ahead. You handle your own matters and I will handle mine."

Chang Zilong was still a little worried, he said: "Lord Zhizhou is very busy, I don't know when I will be able to come out after entering, this …"

Jiang Xiaobai laughed: "It's alright, I'll take a look around. "If you can't find me after you come out, then do what you need to do. Before the army leaves, I will definitely feel that you are from the A Battalion."

"This lowly one, one family, one young, relies entirely on the Master Bao!" Chang Zilong was truly worried that Jiang Xiaobai had suddenly disappeared, but he did not say anything else.

Arriving at the entrance of the yamen, everyone dismounted from their horses, which were tied to the stumps.

Chang Zilong waited for governor to summon him, while the two soldiers squatted near the stumps and waited. They continued to bow their hands and walk towards the direction of the Great Tender Pavilion.

The Great Tender Pavilion was initially established to watch the movements of the Northern Liaoren. It had the nature of an official and was not a temple.

However, in the end, it gradually evolved and its military functions gradually declined. Only then did a incense burn.

And the current Great Tribute Pavilion was neither a watchtower nor a temple. It was a restaurant called North Tower.

Around ten in the morning, Jiang Xiaobai arrived near the North Tower, looked around at the stalls selling all kinds of snacks, and the smell of food in the air. He thought about the era when he was alive, the Great Tzu Chi Pavilion was covered in smoke all day, and its surrounding was filled with vendors selling candles, yellow paper, and even the entire Da Ci Pavilion.

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

Jiang Xiaobai laughed bitterly in his heart. From two to three o'clock last night, he had been eating and drinking at the same time.

But what could he do? He couldn't just walk into the restaurant and look for the fortune-teller.

After tidying up his clothes, Jiang Xiaobai lifted his head, stuck out his chest and walked forward.

Two attendants stood at the North Tower entrance while wearing gray clothes and holding white towels by their arms.

The two servants looked at Jiang Xiaobai in difference at first, but then they reached out their hands together and blocked the way and shouted, "Go go go, a soldier wants to join North Tower? "Wait at the back, after lunch, there will be your swill!"
