Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 218 Don't Move
Of course, the lifelong event of being the daughter of the royal family is not just a random middle-ranking official coming to the door, who can directly protect the matchmaker and match Lalang with empty teeth.Therefore, in the end, the envoy of the Huangmen left Jiang Tian with a door sticker/invitation card with exquisite workmanship and incense.

However, Jiang Tian still felt a little heck, someone would want to invite him to a blind date event called "Garden Party".However, when the people around heard about it, they reacted differently.

"This is a good thing! At least for ordinary people, it will be a lifetime of wealth and no worries." Among them, Zhang Wusheng, the most familiar servant, was the first to express his opinion: "Even if the officer treats the little prince of Taining (Prince Princess) ) are not tempted, and you can just go and watch the excitement.”

"However, I have heard people say: 'If you marry a wife, you will be a princess, and if you have nothing to do, you will get the government. (Note 1)', will there be any hindrance?" Li Huan said with a chuckle when he heard the words, but secretly looked Turning around and thinking about how to forward this sudden news immediately.

"As the old saying goes, it's true, but it's not a big hindrance to take the princess or the county master." Xin Gonggong, who happened to send the documents over, also rarely explained it humorously: "Most of the time, not only is there no hindrance, On the contrary, it is of great benefit; therefore, there are few people in the clan who are worried about getting married."

"Maybe you can think about it, sir! At least there will be less constraints and troubles after getting married." During this period of time, Cheng Shilian, who was described as thin and gloomy, also echoed: "If you have no other thoughts, The garden of King Guangling is also one of the best places to visit in Luodu!"

(Note: In the autumn and July of the first year of Kaiyao, when Princess Taiping married Xue's family, torches continued from the south of Xing'anmen to the west of Xuanyangfang, and many locust trees on both sides of the road were burned to death. Xue Shao's brother Xue Wei felt that Princess Taiping was affected His favor was too strong, and he was deeply worried, and asked his distant uncle and grandfather, Xue Kegou, a household doctor, what to do. Xue Kegou said: "The emperor's nephew is still the master, and the story of the country, if you act respectfully and carefully, it will not hurt!" The wife won the princess, and she won the government for nothing. I have to be afraid of it." Later, Xue Shao starved to death in Luoyang Prison because of the clan's rebellion.)
As everyone chattered about this matter, for a while the air in the building began to be filled with an atmosphere of joy and escape, but Jiang Tian secretly turned his gaze, and was laughing at the side without saying a word Linghu Xiaomu.Xindao, why are you laughing so hard about this matter!
However, just as her eyes crossed, she looked like a cat whose tail had been burned, and suddenly her face turned red; she stomped her feet vigorously, turned around and left, leaving behind a faint laugh.It also made Jiang Tian a little puzzled again, I haven't said anything yet, are you blushing and a bubble teapot again?
So next, with a certain mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal, the news about the King of Guangling and his beloved daughter Taining Xiaojun was quickly put in front of Jiang Tian.

The Great Tang Dynasty came down from the century-old Zhongxing and prosperity of the Qianyuan eradication of chaos and the reformation of Taixing. As a member of the royal family, it also multiplied into a rather large group in the peaceful years.Although according to the imperial court system, if he had five clothes with the reigning emperor, he would naturally become a citizen.

However, the clan in Zongzheng Temple's catalog is still a particularly impressive group.It's just that according to the closeness and distance with the incumbent, it is naturally divided into different situations and status quo.Every ten years, a new registration is made in order to prepare a budget for internal funds for support.

Among them, there are those who are poor enough to survive starvation (Zongzheng Temple gave Mibu as a rule), and can only rely on giving birth to daughters in exchange for dowry gifts to maintain a basically decent and dilapidated clan; The noble king of the Qing Dynasty who lived in Shiyi and had many privileges and monopoly.

And King Guangling is one of the top members of these royal family pyramids; a wealthy county king known for his elegance, writing and generosity.Take his title Guangling (Yangzhou) as an example; he not only enjoys the share of the Huaiyang City Shipping Department, but also has several exclusive maritime trade fleets.

And he made no secret of loving his daughter more than his son; he claimed to have prepared an astronomical dowry for his little girl who had just reached age.Therefore, no matter what his appearance or character, this Taining gentleman has become the most sought-after candidate in Luodu City.

As Xin Gonggong said, marrying a princess certainly has the risk of a poor family and running horses/grass on your head.However, the corresponding constraints and worries of the clan women who take the side branches are much smaller.Moreover, for newcomers in the official career, it is not easy to stand in line too early and make enemies, and they can also get the help of the Yue family.

However, a piece of paper that suddenly came from outside the city ended the discussion that everyone was talking about.After a while, Jiang Tian, ​​who had shown his identity and pass, had already galloped out of the Hui'an Gate in the north of Luodu City; he passed the stone bridge and checkpoint on the Xiecheng Canal, and arrived near Jinyong City.

Along the way, Jiang Tian also discovered some new changes.For example, the road was the same as before, but it was quickly refurbished during this period; and it was widened and strengthened with ditches using cement (synthetic clay) that is second only to the standard of plaster (cement).

The only two villages passed along the way were also surrounded and reinforced by exterior walls made of gravel; on the top of the walls were many flags of road guards, and a somewhat abrupt and brand-new sentry tower.And when Jiang Tian got closer to Yong Jin City, the footprints and ruts on the road became denser.

In the end, the road ended at the end, in the ruins of the old city (Jinyong South City) where the city wall was almost invisible.However, among the ruins of the gate tower several feet high; Jiang Tian vaguely noticed the reflection of all kinds of equipment hidden in the stronghold of the camouflaged ruins.

It seems that the guard and defense of Yong Jin City's resident has also been further strengthened.It wasn't until Li Huan stepped forward on his behalf, and in the shadow of the seemingly empty gatehouse, showed his credentials and the pass code; the threat that loomed from the ruins gradually disappeared.

Walk through the empty doorway, but there are iron bars and gates hanging above the head, which are double-protected doorways.However, Jiang Tian found that the interior had been greatly widened and cleaned up, and along the sides of the grassy Zhonghang Avenue, several new sites and buildings with different uses were built.

Among them are the spacious barracks and school grounds separated by walls, and there are also brand new buildings similar to arsenals and silos, grain depots, stables, and material stores; obviously, during the time when Jiang Tian was away, the imperial court urgently added, Invest in the garrison and equipment in Yongjin City.

And when Jiang Tian galloped along the Bank of China Avenue, he could vaguely hear the sound of exercises in the barracks and school grounds, one after another, and the roar of some suspected firearms being used; and the fireworks rising behind the fence.

If it was usual, Jiang Tian would have the intention to stop and wait and see for a while; to see how these people performed targeted exercises according to the suggestions and implementation regulations they provided.But not now, because today is the first batch of abnormal objects collected from Duji Province and put into storage.

And Jiang Tian was asked to be present in person, thinking that he was responsible for inspection and supervision.Therefore, when he passed through the gate of the separated city and entered Jinyong Zhongcheng/Luoyang Base; he saw more than 20 subordinates headed by Lin Jiulang, already fully clothed, and waiting outside the gate.

And on the walls, gate towers and outposts all around, there are even more figures standing there; armored soldiers holding iron arm bows or breaking crossbows.And the focus of them, as if they were facing a big enemy, was a few closed vehicles surrounded by a group of iron-man-like swordsmen in the center.

This is also the first time that Xin Fair and Cheng Shilian have been allowed to enter this secret residence that is still unknown to the world since they joined Jiang Tian's command.Therefore, seeing this battle formation, the two of them couldn't help being compulsively calm, and each showed a little nervousness and embarrassment.

Because according to the psychological preparations in advance, what they are about to face may be strange and abnormal existences that most people in the world can't match.When casually dismounting from the horse, Xin Gonggong was even a little too nervous, accidentally got caught by the saddle strap, and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Tian couldn't help but said: "Don't be nervous, it's just some abnormal objects and deformed creatures. If things don't work out in the future, it will only be commonplace."

However, after hearing this, Cheng Shilian seemed even more nervous, and could only squeeze out an ugly smile at Jiang Tian.And Xin Gongping seemed to be a little bit better, but he couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "Officer...Officer...you really think highly of me!"

Then, Jiang Tian saw Mrs. Cen and several chief officials appearing on the top of the city, nodding from a distance, and their subordinates in a department; Once you’re all here, let’s start the first step of the process!”

Immediately, as he nodded and turned around and blew the low whistle, those armored Mo Dao fighters who were facing the vehicle immediately stepped back a few steps to make a gap.Immediately, another group of sergeants, armed with various long and short equipment, swarmed up and carefully opened the first closed cart.

Then, a heavy roar and vibration could not be heard from inside the car, and the left and right sides were buzzing in an instant; a huge figure flew out like an arrow in an instant; Amidst the sound of the shock, he slammed head-on into the tight-fitting shield wall.

Almost in an instant, they scrambled across the gaps in the shield wall, and special equipment such as stainless steel hook guns, forks, iron rope ladles, etc., stabbed and hooked on that huge figure one after another; Pierce through the limbs, lock the head, and control the target in place in a blink of an eye.

But at this time, the people who followed Jiang Tian could see clearly that it was a ferocious alien in the shape of a human. The scales and armor all over the body were bloody and bloody, and the claws and teeth were cut off, the mouth was tied up, The chains connected by multiple cars are deeply hooked into the body;
"It seems so fast, and a new alien species has appeared in the world." Seeing this, Jiang Tian muttered to himself:
