Chapter 2: The Wind Rises (1)

Near the top of the mountain, soldiers slammed the pole and rang the bronze bell.In the depths of the darkness, someone immediately responded and could not wait to ignite the beacon on the high platform.The light and the bells rang out like this one after another, with a rush comparable to the summer storm in Kenan.

The beacon warned, and Zhong Qing sent a message.This method of information transmission, with an obvious military atmosphere, finally settled Suo Zhongwu's thoughts.In the previous mission, the old company commander said more than once, "If you are not sure, then think about how to teach on the training ground!".This sentence is indeed the most reasonable saying, and it is no longer suitable to be used today.

Stop your mind first, and temporarily follow your superiors before the situation changes-after doing this, Suo Zhongwu immediately becomes relaxed.He let go of his thoughts, followed Lao Kui and walked in unison, unless he encountered a sharp turn or downhill, he would not say a word, and he would not think much about things that have nothing to do with walking.

But it is impossible for him not to watch.Even if you deliberately look straight ahead, even if the moonlight is not bright, the sight of the new world still gets in your eyes wave after wave.

Suo Zhongwu discovered that the place he first arrived was a hill in a high place.Excluding the mountain, this place has a total of five floors, one circle and one circle looks like the Temple of Heaven, but the floor is not gold bricks, but a kind of hard three-mixed soil mixed with gravel, lime (doubtful) and volcanic ash Piece.The steps leading to the bottom of the mountain are made of natural stone strips, which are folded to form many zigzag shapes. On the wooden handrails on the side, a flagpole is inserted every ten steps, with patterns hanging on the top. Different triangular flags.

Stars, hexagrams, birds, and beasts......Various patterns are like guides, leading out the city at the foot of the mountain.According to ancient standards, this place must be big and prosperous, but Suo Zhongwu is a modern person, and he is used to seeing the city that never sleeps extending dozens of square kilometers.Compared with those reinforced concrete forests, this bleak place under the mountain is simply a cultural relic from the old photos.

The dark clouds are drooping, and the stars and moons on the sky are almost completely covered by these black blocks; everything is silent, and the noise of cars is not heard everywhere, only the ringing of bells in the ears.The urban area is spread out underfoot, the lights can only be regarded as a few dots, and the building area is better than the county seat. The more you go to the north, the more irregular the shape, bulging and bulging.

Several teams have already set off from the city center, rushing to various places in the city with torches.They can be called vigorous and resolute. Just after Suo Zhongwu left the top of the hill, the lights had already exited the inner city wall. When he and Suo Kui had turned the third turn, all the teams had arrived at their destination, gathering at the foot of the mountain and the outer corner. Stand by.

What he can see, of course, will not be ignored by the distant uncle.Lao Kui is like a local boss showing off his belongings, pointing to the city and chattering all the way, even if his nephew refuses to reply, he is still very interested.

According to boss Kui’s boast, when he first crossed over, it was just a stinky and fishy fishing port with a total population of just over 10,000.The local islanders neither know what gunpowder is nor do they know how to print books, and the development of science and technology is not much stronger than that of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.What's even more horrifying is that islands like this are not one or two, but hundreds of thousands. The population of the entire planet is scattered in the sea like this. You beat me and I beat you for so many years.

"No way. Ninety-nine percent of this planet is the ocean. It's good if people can survive." So Kui is like a prince who sells melons. In front of the local musketeers, he praises himself more and more.

"When I first came, hundreds of islands were divided into eight small countries, and the sky was dark all year round, and the blood water stained the tide red. Now? Look at this city! Look at this largest city in the world! Remember Ah Wu Thanks to your uncle, this place can become the garrison of the Henghai Eight Nations Council, the Zhenyang Army’s Jiedu Envoy, the city of steel and gold, Linyuan State! The wealth of the entire ocean circulates in this place!!! "

Lao Kui's voice is so loud, it is difficult for Suo Zhongwu to remember it.In Kenan in 2022, Suo Kui, chairman of the Golden Heng Investment Company, is just a local owner of a leather bag company, and the chamber of commerce can only sit in the last row; but on this planet, he is the "city of steel and gold". "The ruler, the One Piece who made the armored soldiers bow down sincerely--

No, the title of One Piece is not accurate. If Lao Kui’s bragging is all true, then he started from scratch and worked hard, and it took more than ten years to personally smash the country and let the eight kingdoms of Henghai finally merge into one. Ying Zheng, come here, haha, that's not as good as Lao Tzu!"

Suo Zhongwu felt that Lao Kui's big talk about Qin Shihuang must be bragging about not paying taxes, but the other parts should not be boasting.After all, the evidence soon came before us: after going down the mountain, the people who greeted Lao Kui and Suo Zhongwu were an exaggerated convoy that took up the entire street. The entire 18 large cars were inlaid with gold and silver, and they were still matched with a tall horse Of four rounds.Hundreds of officers and soldiers pierced their armors and held their magnificent big bows to clear the way; teams of riders lined up on both sides, and the bayonets on their muskets shone.

How could a native boss with a net worth of eighteen million be worthy of this kind of honor.What's even more amazing is that, in addition to the car battles arranged by the Yamen, ordinary people also flocked to the streets and crowded the surrounding streets.On both sides of the road, whether it is a luxurious multi-storey street-facing restaurant or an ordinary house with a brick and stone slab, all of them are full of people without exception, countless eyes are shining, even the whale oil street lights on the teeth can be compared.

They look forward to it, they whisper.Until the two uncle and nephew walked onto the street and appeared in front of thousands of soldiers and civilians.The quarrel, laughter, and scolding ceased immediately, and the disturbing silence lasted for more than two seconds, but the enthusiasm of the crowd burst out immediately, cheering like thunder, and instantly swept the inner walls and outer walls:

"Hurrah! Hurrah!!! Hurrah!!!"

"It's a mess! It's a mess!!! It's a mess!!!"

"I'm back!!! Xianggong is back!!! I'm finally back!!!"

"Wansheng, Wansheng! From now on, Wansheng will definitely be!!"

......

The stormy shouts immediately made Boss Suo's fat face bloom like flowers.He accepted the enthusiasm comfortably, nodded to the sides of the street very skillfully, and before getting into the car, he raised his right arm fully, waving left and right like slow motion.

Suo Zhongwu bowed to the face of Uncle Yuanfang.He can't feel at ease. In his hometown of Kenan, when has an ordinary veteran seen this kind of battle?The fiery gazes from all directions quickly turned Suo Zhongwu into a needle felt. Apart from continuing to walk along, he didn't know what to do for a while.
