Xiaohe Village is two hundred miles south of the city, and there is a big city.

The city wall, nearly four feet high, is composed of bluestone and rammed earth, and looks extremely majestic.

A vast river of blue waves comes from the northeast, winds around the southeast of the city and goes south.

It was ten days late at night, and the sky was getting darker. With a low sound of ox horns sounded on the city wall, the four gates closed one after another, and pine and bright torches were ignited one after another on the city wall.

Wancheng, the location of Nanyang County Government.

According to the rules of the Great Qin Dynasty, in the summer, the hour of You and in the winter, the city must enter a defensive state, collect the suspension bridge and close the city gate, and soldiers in the city also began patrolling and officially entered a curfew state.

But this is no longer the period of all countries fighting for hegemony. The world is now in a state of unification, so the curfew has become very relaxed. As long as it is not open to the open fire to fight the house and rob the house, the patrol soldiers will not interfere.

Since it is Nanyang County City, the meteorology inside and outside the city is naturally different from that in the mountains and wild towns, and is also very different from that in the county town of Chi County. Not only is the city wall much taller and majestic, but the city scale has also expanded by several times.

Outside the city, there are vast fields of farmland connected to each other, and the wheat seedlings flutter with the wind, and the wheat ears turn yellow and have entered a mature state.

There are green trees within dozens of miles around the farmland, and villages are not far apart from each other. Thousands of houses are gathered scattered, and the sound of chickens and dogs is heard.

On the bank of the river that was passing by the city, hundreds of copper and iron workshops were densely packed, surrounded by low and simple straw sheds, living in a large number of slaves from refugees without household registration.

Wancheng is located in the heart of the Central Plains and is the most central location in China. It connects to Luoyang in the north, Jingxiang in the south, Xianyang in the west, and Shangqiu in the east. Therefore, it is an absolute center in terms of transportation, and is a key point for the throat from south to north.

In order to strengthen management and rule, Qin Shihuang moved the people of the six countries to Nanyang, causing wealthy people from the six countries to be good at operating to gather here. Therefore, not only is the agriculture developed, but the commerce is also extremely developed, especially the casting of copper and iron, but it also became the heavy industry center of the Qin Dynasty.

The population in Wancheng is even more dense, with a population of less than 100,000. In addition to the two main streets in the central area, the streets are densely packed with various earth, diamonds, bamboos, and wooden houses. They are like later generations, gathered together according to different types of work, forming groups of different sizes, and the architectural styles are slightly different.

There are many handicraftsmen in the west of the city, and most of the people gather here are producers and operators such as bamboo and numbing, so the houses are mostly made of bamboo and wood.

The east of the city is mainly composed of grain and meat and vegetables, and the wealthy homes near Wancheng are gathered, so every household has wooden and stone houses with small courtyards.

The city is filled with cargo merchants from south to north, with cattle, horses and trucks coming in endlessly, so the houses are built relatively large, and there are even a large number of inns and restaurants that specialize in accommodation and food.

The city is the most prosperous. Not only are there a large number of rich people from the six countries and salt and iron merchants who have moved here, but there are also a large number of alchemists and Confucian scholars who rely on these rich people to live. They are inseparable from the rich and depend on each other.

In this era, reading is definitely something that rich people can afford to read.

These salt and iron merchants and wealthy men are just the type of people who are rich and stupid. They need their children to get a good education and learn advanced cultural knowledge, so they will support these alchemists and Confucian scholars. At the same time, they also need alchemists and Confucian scholars to give advice and even connect with the government. These alchemists and Confucian scholars also serve their own interests and use what they have learned to serve the rich businessmen in exchange for their own superior life.

These alchemists and Confucian scholars are similar to those of later public intellectuals. They use their own cultural knowledge to constantly cheer for wealthy businessmen who provide themselves with a superior life.

Therefore, near the river in the south of the city, there are tall and spacious houses lined up with bright lights, and there are also faint sounds of laughter and orchestra.

Although it was a curfew time, there were still people coming and going on the streets.

In a dark alley, a girl in a light blue linen dress hid on the wall and looked around for a few times. After finding that no one was there, she walked out swaggeringly.

The girl looked weird and looked left and right and muttered while still curling her lips.

"Hmph, I want me to go back to Xianyang, and I want me to get married, but I don't even have a door!"

"And that stinky guy, who dares to use my sword to cultivate the toilet. I will definitely make you look good next time I meet..."

The girl was like a little goblin, muttering in her mouth and running around along the crisscrossing streets. After a while, she found that she was lost.

There are low thatched houses and small yards made of bamboo and wood, with neither lights nor people. In the dark, I occasionally hear a few coughs and beatings, and a few barking dogs.

The girl walked slowly and slowly. Although it was a hot summer night, she still felt cold and goose bumps all over her body. She suppressed her fear and walked slowly along a narrow path. Finally, she found that it was a dead end. Just as she was about to turn around and exit, suddenly a low voice came out from a small yard in the dark.

"I heard that, a few days ago, an apostle from Guixu School came from Chi County, saying that he had seen the disciples of the immortal family in Funiu Mountain and asked for a few cans of health immortal tea. Today, the fairy tea party was held at Nanyang College at the hour of Hai..."

"其~, what kind of fairy tea? The Guixu School is not doing its job all day long, looking for spiritual medicines and elixirs everywhere but not knowing how to understand itself. If the way is so simple, why should Master send us out of the mountain to walk!"

"What my senior brother said is very true, but since they are so sure, why not let me go and take a look? Besides, if this immortal tea is really magical, you can also get some back for the master to see!"

"Well, my junior brother makes sense, let's go and have a look!"

With a creaking sound, under the hazy night, two men came out of a small yard next to them with hand in hand, closed the yard gate, and walked out along the alley.

As the two of them walked out seven or eight feet away, they were almost lost. A petite figure slowly appeared in the shadow of the alley, and then followed them out.

The two of them held hands and were very close. The road gradually became wider after turning around. There were more and more houses on both sides of the street. Gradually, the lights were on, and passers-by were coming and going.

"小~, what broken place!" The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, stood there thinking for a while and prepared to go back, but when she thought about the two men's conversation just now, she hesitated for a moment and chased the two men again, then walked forward from a distance of seven or eight meters, and soon followed the Central Avenue to the south of the city.

The two of them walked straight into a yard, and the girl followed her at a speed of a few steps, almost less than three meters away from the two.
