Chang'an City is divided into three parts of the palace city, the imperial city and the outer outline city, the whole city is like to be surrounded by a tall and strong city wall, the outer Guo City is 9721 meters long from east to west, 8651 meters long from north to south, the circumference is 36.7 kilometers long, the city wall is one zhang eight feet high (about six meters), the top is about one zhang two feet (about four meters), it can be used for five horses in parallel, and the thickest part of the base of the city seat has 12 meters.

This is Zheng Peng's understanding of Chang'an City, it is one thing to hear it, but when he witnessed such a brilliant and extraordinary capital, he couldn't help but be deeply shocked by it.

From a distance, the majestic city wall is like a giant dragon lying on the ground, as if there is no end in sight, the ground on the top of the city wall is sloping, the outside is high and the inside is low, the battlement wall, the horse face, the corner tower, the arrow tower, all have everything.

The Mingde Gate is even more majestic, consisting of a main building and two auxiliary buildings, the tall building is about five zhang high, divided into three floors, and the upper part is a brick and wood structure, which can be used as a lookout, can also serve as the headquarters of the generals defending the city, and if necessary, it is an extremely important shooting base.

There are five doorways under the gatehouse for people to enter and exit, and each doorway has a gate wrapped in iron sheets and inlaid with copper nails, which looks solemn.

Standing in front of the tall and majestic Mingde Gate, Zheng Peng had an incomparably small feeling.

The majestic city walls, the strong and square gatehouses, and the uniformed and majestic soldiers defending the city all show the style of the first city in ancient times.

At this time, looking at the world, Chang'an City is the largest and most prosperous city in the world, and in later generations, not only in China, but also abroad, there are many people who yearn for Chang'an described as heaven and earth.

Zheng Peng saw with his own eyes that several men dressed as Persian merchants, leading camels full of goods, looked at the majestic and magnificent Chang'an City with an unbelievable expression, and looked dumbfounded, just like a countryman entering the city for the first time.

"What are you doing, you don't have long eyes." Just when Zheng Peng sighed at Chang'an, which had been surrounded hundreds of times in his dream, he suddenly heard someone reprimand.

"That's... It's my fault, I'm causing you trouble. A very stiff voice rang out.

Zheng Peng turned his head to look, and saw a man dressed as a widow, who kept bowing and apologetic to an old man who was close to his sixtieth birthday, with a look of panic.

He was a man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although he was a little shorter, but he was very strong, wearing a silk robe and carrying a sword, he should be an upper-class person in the Japanese kingdom, he accidentally bumped into the old man while walking, and was immediately scolded.

The old man's hair is gray, he is wearing linen, and his speech is a little leaky, he looks like an ordinary Tang people, but when he faces the Japanese people, he holds his head high, his face is arrogant, and his eyes show disdain.

The temperament of the Celestial Empire is fully revealed.

The man kept bowing and apologizing, and his waist was bent at ninety degrees, but the old man did not embarrass him, reprimanded him a few words, and then walked away.

Not only the Japanese people, but also some Persian and Tianzhu merchants, one by one, also with admiration and cautious looks, Zheng Peng noticed a detail, when the outsiders entered Chang'an City, those merchants with horses and camels consciously hung a bag behind the horse's buttocks to prevent the livestock from pulling manure halfway.

After standing outside the Mingde Gate for a while, Zheng Peng waved his hand: "Let's go, let's enter Chang'an." ”

To enter the city, you need to be interrogated, and you need to hand over the "pass" prepared in advance, and Zheng Peng and his entourage successfully entered Chang'an City from Mingde Gate.

As soon as he entered the Chang'an Gate, Zheng Peng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and Ah Jun couldn't help but exclaim: "This, this is too big, too beautiful." ”

Ah Fu and Ah Shou, who were following behind, were so surprised that their mouths couldn't close.

Out of the doorway, the eyes suddenly opened, a wide, straight street miraculously appeared in front, this is the largest and most famous street in Chang'an, Suzaku Street.

"Oh my God, this street is too big." Ah Fu said in disbelief.

Zheng Peng nodded and said, "Yes, big, magnificent." ”

Suzaku Street is about 150 meters wide and 5,020 meters long, and there are drainage ditches on both sides of the street that are 2 meters deep and 3.3 meters wide. Trees are planted on both sides of these avenues and along the gutters. These street trees are mainly elm and acacia, the spacing between the rows of the trees is uniform, vertical and horizontal rows, from a distance, like two rows of mighty guards, on both sides of Suzaku Street, is a neatly planned square, a total of 108 squares in the sky.

Hundreds of thousands of homes are like a game of Go, and the 12th street is like planting vegetables, which is the great poet Li Bai described the planning and layout of Chang'an.

Standing on the wide Suzaku Street, looking at the neat houses, as well as the cars and horses coming and going, Zheng Peng felt more and more insignificant.

Just when Zheng Peng was thinking about where to go, a young man about thirteen or fourteen years old suddenly appeared in front of him, wearing a cyan hood, wearing a robe about seventy percent new, but very clean, with a harmless smile on his face, he saluted Zheng Peng and said: "I've seen Xiao Langjun, if I guess correctly, Xiao Langjun is the first time to Chang'an, right?" ”

"That's right, what's wrong?" Zheng Peng said with a smile.

Wind and dust, leading horses, as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, it was like Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden, and the clothes were bright, naturally eye-catching, if you guessed correctly, this young man should be a broker and a kind of person.

"A certain name is Huang San, from the mother's womb to the present, has been living here, it is not an exaggeration to say, Chang'an City I can find the way by smelling my eyes, Xiao Langjun, this Chang'an City is an imperial city, there are many rules under the feet of the Son of Heaven, accidentally violated the ban, Wu Hou of Wu Hou is not a joke, there is a small lead road, you can save a lot of trouble for the son." Huang San said with a grin.

really guessed, Zheng Peng just smiled and didn't speak.

Ah Jun spoke: "No need, we have already prepared the map. ”

"Xiao Langjun" Huang San said with a smile: "The map is dead, but people are alive, as soon as you hear the accents of a few people, you are not locals, people here will bully life, there is a small one to lead the way, and Gongzi can find where to eat and have fun without bothering." ”

Speaking of this, Huang San suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Langjun, there is a Pingkang Fang here, known as Xiao Su and Hangzhou, that is a nest of beauties, the fans in the south of the Yangtze River, the beauties in the north, the Tufan beauties, the Persian enchantress, there are any types, by the way, there are beautiful Kunlun slave girls, what do you want, as long as Xiao Langjun asks Xiao to lead the way, it will definitely make Xiao Langjun have endless aftertaste." ”

Seeing that Zheng Peng was unmoved, Huang San immediately lifted the beauty out.

Young man, strong in blood, like Zheng Peng came out alone with a few slaves, with a horse in his hand, and no big bags of goods, nine times out of ten he is a son and brother who came out to travel from a rich and noble family, this kind of person Huang San has seen a lot, and immediately changed to beauty to seduce.

Ah Fu blocked Huang San and said coldly: "My young master is not a woman, you have found the wrong person, let's go." ”

Starting from Guixiang, I walked for more than a month, I don't know how many turtle slaves lured Zheng Peng on the way, sometimes walking on the road, and the Qinglou woman deliberately threw a handkerchief to Zheng Peng from the upstairs, and even a Qinglou woman knocked on the door in the middle of the night, but Zheng Peng was unmoved every time.

It's not that Zheng Peng is not interested, but the second is a human being, and he has seen all beauties, and he can't look down on any good ones.

I thought that this little broker would retreat in the face of difficulties, but I didn't expect Huang San to just hesitate, and soon said mysteriously: "Xiao Langjun, there are rabbits too." ”

"Cough, cough" Zheng Peng, who was drinking water, squirted out a mouthful of water, almost choking on himself.

This kid, the reaction is fast, Zheng Peng finally finished coughing, and then said angrily: "Don't, don't do it, it's a mess, we don't need anyone to lead the way." ”

Rejected again and again, if Huang San really left on weekdays, looking for the next target, but now it's noon, today's luck is back, not a penny has been fished, and Zheng Peng is obviously a big customer, when he was pushed away by Ah Fu and Ah Shou, Huang San said without giving up: "Xiao Langjun, the small one can also help you go through various procedures, find a cheap and good inn, and find someone to do things, just ask for a few small money, and will never cheat Xiao Langjun." ”

Just when Huang San thought that there would be no harvest today, a natural voice sounded: "Huang San is, how much do you spend a day leading the way?" ”

"One hundred wen, no, fifty wen is fine, it will definitely satisfy Xiao Langjun." Huang San's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said.

Seeing that Zheng Peng was brightly dressed, he wanted to ask for more prices, but when he thought that Zheng Peng was very shrewd, unlike those gentlemen who were full of women in a hurry, Huang San hurriedly changed his words.

Zheng Peng smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, lead the way." ”
