Chapter 157: Peng's descendants

The next morning, Peng Yu took Peng Zhou back to his home in Xianyang City.

This is a very new house, which was built by the Qin State when the capital was moved. It is not a private house, it was built by the Qin State.

The capital of Qin was not in Xianyang before, but later when Qin became stronger, a new capital was built here in Xianyang.

Generally, after a long time in the ancient city and a large population, the underground drainage system will not be able to keep up. And also! The drainage system cannot keep up, causing waterlogging is small, and it can easily cause a plague epidemic.

So! After a long time, the ancient city will generally become an abandoned city.

In general, the ancient city either moved away or expanded to the surrounding areas. The original ancient city can only become a historical nostalgia.

The situation of building a city is generally like this: first plan a piece of land, and then determine the territory of the king and nobles. And then! It is to engage in underground drainage systems. After the underground drainage system is completed, the house above is built.

It was only open to the public outside the territory of kings and nobles. Only merchants, local nobles, and the surrounding residents could build houses and form streets in the prescribed places.

It is the same as the construction of a bazaar in modern society: first plan the administrative land, then the streets, vegetable markets, and so on. And then! It is to sell the land and let the rich people buy the land and build a house. And then! Markets, market towns, and streets were formed.

At the outermost part of the city, build a wall to prevent invasion or civil strife.

At this time, Xianyang City has been built for many years. In Xianyang City, there is basically no open space. The place close to the Qin Palace is the most prosperous. Closer to the city walls, it has a slum feel.

In the early days of the city's establishment, when the Qin State had just moved over, the places near the city walls were all empty and uninhabited. In order to maintain the population, the poor were allowed to build simple houses within the prescribed limits.

Afterward! These people all became residents of Xianyang City. Many people rebuilt their houses, and Xianyang City slowly prospered from then on.

Now Xianyang City, there are streets outside the city walls. In particular, on both sides of the city gate, streets are formed.

When Peng Yu came to Qin, he inadvertently entered Wei Ran's army directly. Outcome! He is strong in martial arts and has made meritorious contributions one after another. In addition, he is deeply liked by Wei Ran, therefore! Wei Ran gave him a place to live. With a place to live, he took his wife and children from Wei.

In order to avoid the pursuit or trouble of the Wei State, Ye Gongzi did not dare to come publicly, and fled secretly with his son.

It is a courtyard with two façade houses on both sides, and the middle door is the entrance and exit gate, and there are no steps, and the carriage can directly enter it. The façade houses on both sides of the gate are not shops for rent, but! The door opened into the courtyard.

This is the living area of the aristocracy, which is different from the "shopping street" outside. In this area, there are no businesses, and they are all households.

On the Qin Palace, there is no need to talk nonsense, it is the same as the Wei Palace and other places where kings live, they are all independent. The living quarters of the nobles were mostly around the periphery of the king's independent courtyard.

If war comes, the streets on this side of the living quarters will be closed, and the enemy will not be able to get close to the courtyard where the king lives.

"Humph! Ha! Scold! Hi! ……”

Peng Zhou came to the door of the courtyard, and before he could knock on the door, he heard the immature voices of several little babies coming from the courtyard, as if they were practicing martial arts.

The door to the courtyard is closed, and it seems that a deadbolt has been inserted from the inside.

Hearing the sound of practice coming from the courtyard, Peng Yu's face suddenly showed a smile. He knows! The sons practiced martial arts in it.

As a descendant of the Peng family, practicing martial arts is a must!

In this era of cold weapons, if you don't practice martial arts, it will be difficult for you to survive.

Ancient people practiced martial arts, just like modern people study, it is difficult for you to mix without a diploma. Others sit in the office as white-collar workers, but you can only move bricks on construction sites as migrant workers.

"Boom!"

Peng Yu led the horse forward, slapped the door knocker, and shouted: "Open the door!" ”

The courtyard suddenly fell silent, and then! It moved again.

"Open the door! Open the door! I am back! Peng Yu shouted loudly.

"Boom! ……”

"Who? Yes! General Peng is back? Hey, hey, hey! From the courtyard came a middle-aged man's smug laughter.

The other party responded while walking: "It's coming!" Here it comes! General Peng! It's back. ”

And then! whispered to the person behind him, "It's your father!" Nine fingers! Nine fingers! ”

And then! He snickered quietly again.

"Nine fingers? My dad? Hush! When a little boy of eight or nine years old heard this, he immediately looked frightened.

I thought: You really have a lot of guts! Do you dare to call me Daddy Nine Fingers? My dad can't beat you? Anyway! I don't dare to scream!

The door didn't open immediately, and the other party was talking as he looked out through the crack in the door. After confirming that it was General Peng Yupeng, he opened the door.

This is a tall, lame middle-aged man, who is limping open the door with a happy face.

After opening the door, he looked at Peng Zhou, then at Peng Yu, then at Peng Zhou, and back and forth several times. In the end, it was determined: the two were brothers.

In all probability! It is the legendary Peng Zhou.

Peng Zhou looked at the lame middle-aged man, smiled, and then looked into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a young boy of eight or nine years old, holding a javelin in his hand, looked like he was ready to fight. But when he saw the people who had returned, he froze again.

He misses his father, but he is a little afraid of his father.

In addition to this little boy, there are three boys who are younger in turn.

The three boys seemed to be practicing just now, and sweat was breaking out on their foreheads.

"Son! Don't know your dad anymore? Peng Yu threw the reins of the horse to the lame middle-aged uncle, walked quickly to the eldest son, squatted down and asked.

"Daddy!" The little boy called out to Daddy.

"Come, come, come! Throw the javelin! Come on, come on! Let Daddy take a look! Hey! Seeing his son's serious appearance, Peng Yu was very satisfied.

After seeing the eldest son, Peng Yu beckoned to summon the other three little boys.

"Come, come, come! Daddy? ”

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

The three little ones screamed timidly, and then! Walk towards Daddy.

"Hmmm! Not bad! Not bad! Daddy is satisfied! Satisfied! Have you started to practice martial arts? Good! It's our Peng family! Good! "Say! Brought all three little ones over.

"Daddy! We miss you! Mother misses you too! We all miss you! Father! Woooooo The second son seemed to be bolder and said to his father. And then! And he began to cry.

"Good, good! Daddy misses you too! Isn't Daddy coming back? Ok, good, good! Let's go home! Go home and see your mother! Peng Yu greeted and stood up.

Peng Zhou didn't follow, he led the horse and followed the lame middle-aged man to the stable to tie the horse. When he came back after tying the horse and feeding the horse, Peng Yu had already taken his sons into the house.

"Hehehe! You're Peng Zhou! The lame middle-aged man followed, saw Peng Zhouleng there, and asked with a smile.
