The next morning, Xiao Wen went to Xi'an, the capital of Han Dynasty.

In the original history, this city had become the capital of six dynasties. However, several of the six dynasties had appeared in this world.

Thus, the world assigned Chang'an to the Han Empire.

As for the Tang Kingdom, its capital was called Luoyang …

Originally, Xiao Wen had thought that as the capital of the Han Empire, Changan would be more prosperous than the clouds. However, this was still a feudal era city. No matter how many people there were, it wouldn't be more exaggerated than the cities of the twenty-first century.

Keep in mind that he has been to all of China's major cities of the 21st century. He is very immune to big cities.

However, when Xiao Wen and his group arrived at the city gates, he couldn't help but explode!

"Cao!" "If there is a traffic jam in the 21st century, I'm afraid everyone from the mayor to the Commissioner of Transport will have to resign!" Xiao Wen cursed inwardly.

Even though it was a bit exaggerated to say that. However, when their convoy reached Chang'an, they saw a dense crowd blocking the entrance. The people inside could not get out, and the people outside could not get out.

Perhaps it was because there were many nobles in the capital that lived like princes, Xiao Wen could even see the nobles among them being enraged and even beating the commoners. Even though it was normal for nobles to bully commoners in this vile feudal society. But this has also led to more severe blockages.

"Those who don't know about this should think that there's a war going on at the city gates!" Xiao Wen retorted.

However, Uncle Li shook his head. "It's not just one or two days for Changan City to be like this."

"Is no one going to fix the city gate? Such a small city gate, who knows if it will go smoothly! " Xiao Wen pointed at the city gates and complained loudly.

Hearing this, Uncle Li sighed and said, "Do you think His Majesty doesn't want to? The point is, we don't have money! If you want money, just do it. "

"In such a large country, you don't even have the money to repair the city gates?" Xiao Wen was shocked.

"In such a large country, a single legion only has around five thousand cavalrymen. Even the emperor's carriage couldn't fit eight horses of the same color. Do you think we have the money to renovate the city gates? "

Even when he was in the clouds, he knew that his country was poor. Even the Emperor wanted to lead the army to war for money, and was manipulated by the Emperor of Song.

However, the scene before his eyes had refreshed his understanding of the state of poverty in the Han Dynasty.

However, Xiao Wen was still puzzled. He asked, "Even if we don't have the money to modify the city gate, it's still reasonable. But why did they design the city gate so small? "

Uncle Li sighed and said helplessly, "When our Han Empire was first established, we battled every day. During those early years, Changan City had been surrounded many times. If the city gate was too big, it would have been breached long ago. "

"Alright!" Xiao Wen understood and did not say anything else.

"Hey!" That guy in black! " Suddenly, Xiao Wen heard someone speaking to him.

Even though there were so many people here, he wasn't sure if they were calling him. However, everyone had an intuition that allowed them to sense things that were happening in the dark.

Because of this, Xiao Wen had the nagging feeling that this person was talking to him.

He looked around and saw that a dwarf was riding on the shoulder of a two-meter-tall brute. He looked at him and said, "That's right! I'm just calling you. "

It wasn't the first time that Xiao Wen had seen a Dwarf. In his previous life, when he was travelling, he had also seen some midget performances in some places. Although dwarves were not as famous as Thai trolls, they existed in many places in the twenty-first century.

He had not expected to see a dwarf on his first day in Chang'an.

"You must be Xiao Wen!" The dwarf's expression seemed to be somewhat exaggerated, making Xiao Wen feel that something wasn't right.

Xiao Wen thought for a moment. It seemed that the dwarf was speaking to him in an opera voice.

This kind of tone made Xiao Wen feel that it was very funny. So much so that he subconsciously ignored the dwarf's arrogance.

He only heard the dwarf say, "Yours Truly is one of the Empress's servants. The empress invited you to the palace. "

"Oh, okay …" Xiao Wen saw this little dwarf talking in front of him in a lively manner. He originally only wanted to watch the performance, so he didn't expect there to be an interaction segment between them.

After being stunned for a moment, he finally spoke.

That seemed a little stupid.

"How embarrassing …" Xiao Wen thought.

However, he immediately reacted and said, "How do you want us to pass through this city gate that is blocked up like this?" Xiao Wen pointed to the three meter wide city gate that was filled with people and said helplessly.

"That's easy." The dwarf said carelessly, "I know a shortcut. Just follow me here. Ordinary people are not allowed to walk that path. "

"There's still a shortcut?" Xiao Wen was shocked to hear this.

It looks like the infrastructure of the Han nation is still considered to be complete!

However, what happened next slapped Xiao Wen's face.

The dwarf brought Xiao Wen and the rest to a spot not far away from the city gate where they saw a one-meter-long hole in the city wall.

The dwarf was less than a meter tall. So he walked in easily.

However, he soon discovered that Xiao Wen and the others were all standing outside the cave, showing no intention of moving.

Therefore, he walked out again, and used his deductive voice to speak to Xiao Wen, "What are you waiting for? Why haven't you come in yet? Esteemed Empress was still waiting. "

Hearing this, Xiao Wen immediately sneered.

This hole was about a meter wide. Even the smallest of them, Sun Shangxiang and Shangguan Wan'er, had to lower their heads in order to enter.

As for Guan Yu and the other boys, they had to bend down.

As for Xiao Wen and Uncle Li … You have to kneel before you can go in.

But, isn't kneeling in a dog's hole?

Did this Lu Zhi think that Xiao Wen had never studied before?

Xiao Wen pointed at the entrance of the cave and asked, "Is this the way to the capital of the Han Empire?"

"Of course, entering here means entering Chang'an." the dwarf said matter-of-factly.

However, Xiao Wen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this isn't the entrance to the capital of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, why wouldn't people who want to enter the Han Dynasty go this way?"

"This is because …" The dwarf seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Wen.

He continued, "This hole is a dog hole. It is meant for dogs. Obviously, only dogs who visited the Dog Country would walk this path. Could it be that you want to bring me to visit the empress of Gou Guo? "

Hearing this, the dwarf was instantly enraged.

He rushed towards Xiao Wen as if he wanted to jump up high and kick his leg onto his knee.

However, Guan Yu snorted coldly and appeared in front of Xiao Wen.

He punched the dwarf's heart heavily, directly hitting it.

After that, there was only the sound of a miserable scream. That dwarf had crashed into the city wall and fallen unconscious.

"Come out! Don't watch from above. " At this time, Sun Shangxiang suddenly raised her head and looked up at the top of the city wall.

"Pa Pa Pa!" A loud sound echoed from the city wall.

The person on the city wall said, "Mister Xiao Wen is indeed rich and knowledgeable. "I didn't expect to even hear about the story of Yan Zi's envoy."
