The day after the boat arrived at the foot of Kuaiji City with smooth wind and water, it was the first day of the ambush.

Chun Ge had indeed entered its dormant period as originally said.

Although my ears were much purer, my heart seemed empty. , after all, spring songs are the only way for me to connect with modern society.

If this bastard never wakes up, I will stay in this strange spring and autumn era for the rest of my life.

This is already the third time I caressed the Selang Note in my arms.

Only when I lose it do I realize how important it is.

Now that I think about it, it’s good to have Chun Ge constantly reminding me of it.

Kuaiji City was built on the Kuaiji Mountain.

The Yue people showed their superb level of architecture in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The construction of the city fully took into account the direction of the river.

There are many rivers and streams near Kuaiji Mountain.

The Nanchi River flows north around the city and then turns.

To the northwest, the Pingshui River flows eastward, and turns and flows northward at Jishan Gate.

The two rivers merge into Daheize in the north and flow into Houhai.

The east and west sides of the city wall were built along the river, and the natural river flowing around it became the natural moat of Kuaiji City.

The city was not square and regular, but changed naturally with the mountains and rivers.

Fu Qutai was very familiar with the local customs and customs of various places, and praised: "Among the countries I have been to, the wall design of Guoji City in Yue is the most ingenious.

Has the young master noticed the location of the west wall?"

I looked in the direction he pointed and saw an obvious indentation in the west city wall, leaving a large area of ​​land vacant along the river.

Fuchtai explained: "It was specially set up to weaken the frontal impact of the river flood peak."

I nodded and said, "It's the flood detention area."

Fu Qutai was stunned for a moment and then said: "Among the countries, Wu has the highest shipbuilding skills, while the Yue people have the strongest ability to control water.

Their method of building along the river was obtained from the famous craftsman Zhao Chengzi.

He once quoted a sentence from Guanzi.

"He looked at me, as if he wanted to test my knowledge.

Of course I wouldn't remember what Guanzi said.

Chu Yaoyao, who was standing aside and listening, said softly: "Because of the natural talent and the convenient location, there is no need to follow the rules when helping the city."

Fu Qutai sincerely praised: "Miss Chu is indeed a scholar.

Even if Kong Zhongni is here, I will be impressed by your knowledge."

Chu Yaoyao smiled modestly.

But I shook my head and said: "Kong Laoer once said that it is difficult to raise a villain with a woman.

He despises women in his bones.

Even if you are thousands of times better than him, he will definitely not praise you."

Fu Qutai burst out laughing.

It seemed that he also remembered what Confucius said.

But Chu Yaoyao blushed.

With her intelligence, she could naturally detect that my words were meant to retaliate against Confucius for stepping on me. of kick.

There are six gates in Kuaiji City, including four land gates and two water gates.

The merchant ship we took entered the Pingjiang River from the canal and sailed into Kuaiji City from the water gate on the south side.

This is my first time to come to this legendary city.

Although Gou Jian has moved to Xindu, Kuaiji City is still the most prosperous place in Yue State.

In fact, the distance between Xindu and Kuaiji City is not that far, a bit like in modern society. old town and new town.

Gou Jian must also be preparing to separate the administrative center from the commercial center.

The merchant ship arrived at the water gate in the south of Kuaiji City and looked up.

The city wall was towering and thick, casting a shadow over the entire merchant ship.

My mood also became heavy.

The huge sluice hung high on the top of the water gate, and there was a war.

At this time, the sluice will slowly fall, turning the entire Kuaiji City into an iron barrel.

Gou Jian must have given up this impregnable city and chose a new capital after careful consideration.

Entering Kuaiji City, the waterway suddenly became much narrower.

After walking along the river entering the city for about 200 meters, the front suddenly opened up.

Boats of different sizes docked on the wide water, and vendors carrying various foods and fruits moved nimbly between them on canoes.

Our merchant ship slowly stopped on the west side of the port.

Looking at the bustling scene in front of me, I could hardly believe that this was the capital city of Yue.

Whether from history or from TV, the Kuaiji I saw was It was a gloomy and depressing scene.

It was hard to see a smile on the face of the extras, but the people I saw were all smiling knowingly.

Could it be that in the hearts of these Vietnamese people who were almost subjugated, there was no concern for the rise and fall of the country. concept of responsibility A wooden plank has been set up to connect the merchant ship and the dock.

Fu Qutai took the lead to walk over.

There were many coolies on the shore, so Fu Qutai hired two people to transport our few luggage up.

I was the last one to walk to the port.

Living on the water for several consecutive days made my steps a little frivolous.

Lu Yihong looked at me with pity and said: "Little turtle, you have worked hard during this period.

When we get to our new home, I will give you a good patch up."

Fuqutai found four carriages, and the seven of us got on the carriages respectively.

With the crisp sound of the coachman's whip, the eight horses slowly walked towards the center of Kuaiji City.

The carriage did not have a carriage, and because the weather was fine, it did not even have a roof, making it look more like an open-top car in modern society.

Kuaiji City is built on the mountain, and the roads are undulating, but this did not affect my relaxed and happy mood at all.

The printing and dyeing technology in the Spring and Autumn Period was not particularly advanced.

In addition, it is summer, and most of the Yue people's clothes are white. host.

Since the Kingdom of Yue was defeated by the Kingdom of Wu, King Gou Jian of Yue had been working hard and fighting hard.

Therefore, most of the men in the Kingdom of Yue wore warrior uniforms with long swords hanging from their waists.

Even ordinary traders and farmers were dressed like this.

Comparatively speaking, although the girls of Yue are clothed in commoner clothes, they are more gentle and charming because of the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River.

Their skin is delicate and white, and their eyebrows are picturesque.

They are surrounded by water and soil, and there are people in the country.

It seems that there are many beauties in Yue.

Most of the buildings scattered around the port are ordinary houses.

When you go up the mountain road in the city to the middle section, you can see that the buildings gradually become large in scale and magnificent in style.

It is already the location of the commercial district of Zhuji City.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, from various countries.

Merchants gather here.

Lu Yihong, who was riding in the same car as me, smiled and said, "We are almost home."

I said in shock: "Home" Lu Yihong nodded and said: "The last time I came to Kuaiji, I bought a house in Fugui Lane in front of it.

I think it has been almost tidied up."

I thought to myself: "It seems that Lu Yihong will live in Kuaiji for a long time."

This is exactly what I want, and I can have enough time to plan for Xi Tzu.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Yihong asked softly.

Only then did I come back to my senses and said with a smile: "I was thinking, wouldn't the property we left in Zhuji be in vain for that bastard Zhuang Gufu?"

Lu Yihong laughed: "He doesn't have that much courage.

Besides, he will soon become the city guard of Zhuji as he wishes.

He won't even look at that little property."

I was full of doubts and said: "Could it be that Zhuji city guard Wu Qi died like this?

Will the Yue State continue to investigate?"

Lu Yihong said softly: "He is nothing but a domestic slave who knows nothing about the world.

It is his master who wants to kill him.

I don't know how happy he will be when he knows about his death."

I nodded and then thought about it, this Wu Qi was not a high-ranking official at all.

In modern society, he could only be regarded as a county-level cadre at best.

In the turbulent era of Spring and Autumn, murders and murders happened almost every day.

Who will pursue this matter?

The carriage passed through the bustling commercial street and turned east into a relatively quiet alley.

This is Fugui Alley.

Although Fugui Lane is not wide, the buildings on both sides are high-gate courtyards, which must be a concentrated residential area for the rich.

As a nursing home owner, Lu Yihong was able to buy a residence here, which shows that her financial resources must be very strong.

We stopped in front of a green-grey courtyard at the end of the alley.

In fact, the color of buildings in this era was almost all green-gray.

The light gray courtyard walls and dark gray eaves tiles made people feel uncomfortable even though the sun was shining brightly.

A bit depressing.

I jumped out of the carriage first and saw that the door was also black and decorated with bronze reliefs.

There were two huge stone lions in front of the door.

If I looked closely, they didn't look like lions.

They were probably holy beasts that ward off evil spirits.

Before we could knock on the door, the two doors slowly opened, and four maidservants, led by a white-haired old man, came out.

The old man came to Lu Yihong and said respectfully: "Old slave Zhai "I don't know if the boss is coming back, but he's not welcome from afar."

Lu Yihong chuckled and said, "Mr.

Zhai, please don't bother with those complicated etiquettes.

Come on, help us get our luggage in and arrange rooms for everyone right away."

A pretty-looking maid came to me and stretched out her hand to take my luggage and iron sword.

She looked like she was at most ten years old, so I smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll just take it myself." , you can’t lift it” The little maid said: "Master, I will do all the rough work."

I had no choice but to hand her the luggage.

Unexpectedly, she grabbed the iron sword with one hand and picked up the luggage with the other, and walked into the courtyard easily.

I was stunned.

The iron sword Ou Yezi gave me alone weighed about fifty pounds.

This little girl was so weak that she felt like nothing in her hand.

She must be a martial arts master
