Zhang Nan's wingman was still very successful, and it only took a few days for Jindeman to completely shift his attention from Zhang Nan's body to Li Er's body.
Jindeman almost asked where Lao Li's ancestral grave was, looking at Jindeman's reaction, Zhang Nan felt that there would definitely be a place for Jindeman in Li Er's harem group.
After a long journey of nearly a month, Zhang Nan finally left the border of the Tang Dynasty and came to Silla.
Strictly speaking, this is Zhang Nan's first time going abroad, but this time going abroad is very different from what Zhang Nan imagined, no one checks his passport, and there are no soldiers at the border to embarrass him.
"Report to the Queen, I'm about to go to Luo City." The voice of the guard was heard outside the carriage.
After hearing this, Jindeman sat in the carriage and nodded, and then said: "Lord Zhang, I will soon arrive at my Silla city, and when the time comes to enter the city, we will now rest in Luocheng, and then set off, we have been in a hurry for the past month, and Lord Zhang must also be sleepy." โ
Since Zhang Nan chose to be Li Er's wingman, Jindeman asked Zhang Nan to sit in the carriage almost two days later, and asked Zhang Nan about Li Er. Don't let go of anything, even the little things in daily life, or what little quirks Li Er has, Jindeman has to ask clearly.
Zhang Nan even felt that the best person to come over this time should not be him, but should be Liu Bing, the chief eunuch beside Li Er.
"Eh, I'm finally back to Silla, I'm going to be tired on the way, sister, let's not be in a hurry today, take a good rest in Luocheng, let's go on the road tomorrow." After Jin Shengman finished speaking, he moved his arm and said with a sleepy look.
"That's what I planned, just in time, so that Lord Jang can feel the enthusiasm of our Silla people." Jindeman also said with a smile.
"That's natural, the empress can govern such a big country in an orderly manner, it must have taken a lot of effort, and I still believe in the empress's governance." Zhang Nan also said with a smile.
However, it didn't take long for Zhang Nan to say this, and Zhang Nan regretted it.
The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Luocheng, which was also Jindeman's request, Jindeman wanted Zhang Nan to see a complete Silla, so the city gate was also part of the visit.
The news that Kindman was going to Luocheng had already been spread to the city of Luocheng, and the people were all out of the city to greet each other, although Silla belonged to a small country and widows, but Luocheng as a border city, there were still a few people, so it looked quite spectacular.
But as Zhang Nan, who has seen Li Er's trip, Jindeman's pomp is really a bit insufficient, not to mention that Jindeman's trip is not with a good guard of honor, so Zhang Nan will pass by by looking.
However, after seeing Silla, the city of Luo, Zhang Nan finally understood why Goguryeo and Baekje were able to connect more than 40 cities in Silla.
Where is this a city, Zhang Nan felt that the courtyard wall of his Li Er's palace was higher than the wall of his Silla city.
And this city is not only built with bluestone, while using bluestone, some places seem to be not enough raw materials, but also filled with loess, such a city, Zhang Nan felt that if the Tang Dynasty was to fight, with thunder and hot air balloons, it was estimated that it would hit Jindeman's palace that day.
To use a phrase from later generations to evaluate this castle in Silla, it is that this castle has no cards at all.
"Lord Zhang, this is our Luo City of Silla, what does Lord Zhang think?" Jindeman was still very satisfied with his city, so he asked with a smile.
Zhang Nan was asked like this, and he was embarrassed to lie to Jindeman directly, after all, Jindeman had also seen the lord of Chang'an City, so Zhang Nan believed that Jindeman still knew. So Zhang Nan said: "That, does the empress want me to tell the truth?" Or do you want me to tell a lie? โ
"Of course it's true, although the relationship between the emperor and Lord Zhang is a state-to-state relationship, but the emperor has already introduced Lord Zhang as a confidant, can friends still tell lies?" Kindman said with a frown.
After a few days of getting along, Jindeman still recognized Zhang Nan's character very much, after all, during this time of getting along, Zhang Nan did not have any misconduct or inappropriate behavior, and Zhang Nan also told her a lot of Li Er's gossip, Jindeman was very happy.
"Well, since I'm telling the truth, I want to say that if the empress wants to keep your Silla, this wall is probably not going to work." Zhang Nan spread his hands and said truthfully.
"Oh? Why did Lord Zhang say this, the emperor thinks that this city is still good. Kindman asked with a strange expression.
Zhang Nan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Jindeman's appearance.
"Let's tell you the truth, Empress, I only need twenty people to capture such a city, Goguryeo and Baekje alliance army to attack Silla, I'm afraid it won't be long before more than forty cities are down, this Silla city defense still has a certain relationship."
Although Kindman is an excellent monarch, Kinderman's talent points are added to internal affairs, and Kindman knows almost nothing about military matters.
"Then according to Lord Zhang's meaning, how can this city wall be considered strong?" Kindman asked.
"Why can't it be the same as Chang'an City? Not to mention that it is the same as Chang'an City, anyway, this city wall is all built with bluestone, you look at this city wall, there is loess in some places, can this be solid? And the walls don't look thick. Zhang Nan said.
"Lord Zhang laughed, Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and this Luo City is our border city of Silla, how can the two be compared?" Kindman Road.
"That is, do you know how much it costs to build a city? Although our Silla territory is not large, it is also very large for the people, how can my sister raise the strength of the whole country for a city as strong as Chang'an City? Jin Shengman also interjected at this time.
After Zhang Nan heard this, he was also noncommittal, in ancient times, the most important thing was the population, the more the population, the larger the land area, and the more prosperous the corresponding national strength. A small country like Silla, which is located on the edge, is vast and sparsely populated, and it is really difficult for them to build a Chang'an city.
Then Zhang Nan said: "It's that I didn't take into account the actual situation, let's go into the city and have a look." โ
Jindeman heard that Zhang Nan finally stopped worrying about the city wall, and he was very happy to lead Zhang Nan towards the city.
