Chapter 61 Yongan City

"Wow——The walls of the capital are so high!" Lin Hao, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but sigh and shouted in sigh.

Leishan County is not far from the capital. The capital road where the capital is located is adjacent to Xuanzhou Prefecture. Xuanzhou Prefecture is just north of the capital road. It took Li Bin and his group only ten days to arrive at Yong'an City, the capital of the Dayan Empire.

There are three walls inside and outside Yong'an City, including the imperial palace, inner city and outer city. Now what Li Bin and others see is the outer wall of Yong'an City.

The outer wall of Yong'an City was built based on the direction of the mountains and water systems around Yong'an City. It can be said that it gains the benefits of mountains and rivers and the empty rivers and lakes. The Yong'an River is the natural moat in the south, Longling Mountain is the support in the east, Wanshou Lake is the barrier in the north, and built on the hills in the west, forming a military fortress with unique defensive characteristics.

The outer wall of Yong'an City is about 380 miles long. It was the last of the three walls of Yong'an City. It took a full twenty-five years and over 3.5 million civilians were used.

The lowest height of the outer city wall is more than fifteen meters, and the height is even close to twenty-one meters, the narrowest part of the upper width is six meters, and the widest part can reach eighteen meters.

The imperial palace and inner city of Yong'an City are both a rectangular city.

The inner city is eighteen miles long from north to south, twelve miles wide from east to west, and the imperial palace is three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and nineteen feet wide from east to west. The height of the palace and the inner city walls is more than fifteen meters.

Li Bin and his group had already arrived outside the Beihua Gate of Yong'an City. There were twelve city gates in the outer city of Yong'an City, and there were three city gates in four directions, southeast, west and north. Beihua Gate was one of the three city gates to the north.

Lin Hao's elder brother Lin Xiang saw the city wall that was seventeen or eight meters high, and then sighed: "Even if the two Leishan County walls combined, they seem to be as high as the city walls of the capital."

Li Bin smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's go into the city, and we will be registered in the capital from now on."

When entering the city gate, the imperial guards guarding the city gate saw that Li Bin's group not only had more than a dozen burly men in armor, but also dozens of war horses. The horses also carried a large number of weapons and bows and arrows on their backs, so they immediately stopped Li Bin and his group.

"Who are you? Are there any roads?" An imperial guard officer asked Li Bin in front in a deep voice.

Li Bin, who had already turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists to the imperial guard officer and said, "General, my father and second uncle were taken over by the General Ma Huaizhong of Jingyuan Guard as family soldiers, so we moved our family to the capital to live. I have a road guide issued by the Leishan County Government here."

The Great Yan Empire had a regulation that whenever the people are a hundred miles away from their residence, they must be led by the local government offices to lead the way out. The way out is actually a proof of leaving their hometown.

Li Bin's words made the imperial officer stunned. Then he looked carefully at the people behind Li Bin, and then asked, "Can you be Li Bin?"

Li Bin was also stunned. When did he become so famous? "General, I am Li Bin, I wonder if you are?"

The imperial guard officer took the Lu Ling handed over by Li Bin and said with a smile: "If you are Li Bin, then we are no longer outsiders. My name is Ma Rongming, and my courtesy name is Ruzong. He is a son of the Ma family. He is currently the deputy commander of the Zuo Wuwei."

When Li Bin heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "It turned out to be Brother Rongming. I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in the capital, I would have the chance to meet Brother Rongming. I wonder if Brother Rongming knows where my father and second uncle currently live?"

Ma Rongming opened Lu Yin, took a rough look, and returned Lu Yin to Li Bin, and said at the same time: "Your father and second uncle should be living in the Marquis' Mansion in the inner city with their uncle. Even if you don't live in the Marquis' Mansion, you can go to the Marquis' Mansion to inquire and find out your father and second uncle."

At the beginning of the establishment of the Dayan Empire, the head of the Ma family was enthroned as a hereditary marquis by Emperor Taizong Zhao Yong for his merits.

After pausing, Ma Rongming said, "But the inner city is not as good as the outer city. People live in kings, princes and nobles. You can't get in like this. It's best to keep war horses, weapons, armor and bows and arrows in the outer city."

Li Bin hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Rongming, for reminding me that I will live in the capital in the future. One day, Brother Rongming has free time, I will invite Brother Rongming to have a drink."

Ma Rongming smiled heartily and said, "There is no problem with drinking, but I have to come and invite you. I like to meet heroes like Li Bin. The story of your brothers in Jingyuan City has spread throughout the capital now. I wonder which one is Qin Qiong and which one is Yuchi Gong, can you recommend it to me?"

Although the several inner guards in Jingyuan City have not returned to the capital yet, the news of the withdrawal of the Wurong and Nanqiang tribes in Jingyuan City has long been passed back to Yong'an City.

This time the invasion of the Urong and the Southern Qiang tribes, the army of the Dayan Empire performed very badly, so the highlights of Li Bin and others in this war were immediately regarded as life-saving straw by several imperial guards.

In the memorials of several imperial guards to the emperor, Li Bin and others wrote a special report. Even the matter of Li Bin and others killing more than 2,000 Southern Qiang cavalry in Mopan County, and entering the grassland to destroy a Wurong tribe and five Southern Qiang tribes, they were also dug out by several imperial guards and submitted a memorial to the Emperor of Dayan.

The deeds of Li Bin and others spread throughout the capital, so when Li Bin said that his father and second uncle were taken over by Jingyuan Guard's commander Ma Huaizhong, Ma Rongming immediately guessed that he was Li Bin.

Li Bin just introduced Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong to Ma Rongming, when suddenly a group of people rode out of Beihua Gate on war horses.

"Hey - the grassland horse! It's really the grassland horse! There are actually seven grassland horses!" A young and strong man wearing bright light armor and riding a tall horse shouted with ecstasy expression.

At this time, another young and strong man in the same outfit next to him also shouted excitedly: "Second brother, there are not only seven grassland horses, but also eight Anpu horses. The remaining thirty or forty should be Nanqiang horses!"

When Ma Rongming looked back, he saw two young and strong men talking, frowned and quickly introduced to Li Bin in a low voice: "Brother Li Bin, those two are the two sons of Tang Zhibin, the head of the Tang family in the capital, Tang Yunqi and Tang Yunxu, both famous playboys in the capital. In addition, both of them are both good at martial arts and are used to being domineering in the capital. Moreover, their eldest brother Tang Yunzhao is also a master warrior. In the entire capital, there are very few people who can surpass Tang Yunzhao's martial arts, which further contributes to the arrogance of Tang Yunqi and Tang Yunxu!"
