Chapter 266 The End
At the same time, Chang'an City, the inner city of the imperial city, and the Hongji Hall where the West Inner Garden is located; as the blades of the water wheel rotate slowly to enjoy the cool and cool off, cool water mist is constantly sprayed from the holes in the wall; In the indoor landscaping room, there are small streams of fountains flowing.

In this cool and comfortable atmosphere, the warden of Xijing, who was leaning on a rock to enjoy the cool air, waved his hands in dismay and complained: "Xiangrui, why is it auspicious again? Is it not possible? Everyone below has learned Are you only announcing good news and not worrying?"

And following his words, in the front hall of the hall, there were some things placed on silk cloth and lacquered wooden trays, which were surprisingly bunches of grains and other things; , There are also wheat ears as big as beans, and millet like beads.

In addition, beside the pillars at the entrance of the main hall, there are some giant pumpkins that are so big that they need to be hugged by two people; melons that are as thick as a cow's leg; and group dishes that are as big as a table.Just like that, tied with silk ribbons and placed on the ground, with freshly harvested sap and gravel on it.

And on several countertops in the center, a cold melon/watermelon as big as a water tank has been cut into half; revealing the extremely ripe dark red sand inside.As a result, the room is filled with the unique sweet and fresh fragrance of fruits, vegetables and vegetables.

"Your Highness, it is clear that this is not just a simple idea of ​​the little ones, but a product of the seriousness of various Huangzhuang and other gardens." Hai Gong, the insider who was at the side, explained with a smile. : "I dare not lie to Your Highness, the products harvested this summer are all extraordinarily huge."

"That's right, I was ordered to patrol the imperial estates in various places, and I saw a lot of abundance everywhere, and they all called it a rare and good year." At this time, another internal official present nodded and bowed in agreement. : "Scholars and common people say that this is the reason for the prosperity of the emperor's way."

"The emperor's prosperity?" However, His Highness Jianguo, who was leaning on a large green stone with a relaxed face, laughed with a sneer: "From ancient times to the present, has anyone heard that there are many beasts and monsters appearing frequently?" The prosperity of the imperial way? It’s just bragging, or even an excuse to deceive yourself and others.”

"Your Highness! Your servant deserves to die, your servant is incompetent." Haigong and the others could not help but kneel down on the ground in panic when they heard the words: "I can't share your worries, let alone serve the Holy One; but these things have taken a lot of trouble to deceive the upper and lower." Therefore, it comes from the sincere hearts of the little ones!"

"Okay, okay, King Gu knows it. Don't just ask for death." Turning over on the rock again, His Highness the Guardian, who changed into a comfortable posture, waved his hand lightly and said: "I don't want to criticize anything, it's just that It saves you the effort of whitewashing the scene."

"If you want to worry about being alone, you should pay more attention to those outside activities; these days, there are thousands of beasts, ghosts and aliens who have been reported to be killed in various places in the Guannei Road, right? There is geometry, and this is what Gu cares about."

"It's all thanks to the strategy proposed by His Highness. The rewards are offered by the court, so that people with lofty ideals from all over the world will scramble to catch and kill them in order to serve the country." Hearing this, Duke Hai, who stood up again, couldn't help but sigh respectfully. He laughed and said, "Therefore, it's a time of great enthusiasm."

"Using the power of all parties to mobilize the power of the imperial court to offer rewards for catching and killing aliens in the world, this is not an isolated strategy, but it comes from that... what is that person's name? By the way, it is Jiang's suggestion." His Royal Highness, but shook his head and said: "It's time for him to return to Beijing!"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Wu Desi recently reported that this man has arrived in Gyeonggi Province by boat after handling a case in Pinglu County." At this time, another internal official quickly said: "It must not be long , will enter Beijing and start to take over the corresponding errands."

"Then send someone to investigate one or two more, and give Gu a sure letter." His Royal Highness also waved his hand when he heard the words: "Lao Hai, at the other side of the secret censor department set up in Xijing, you also give me a good look." Keep an eye on it, and make sure it starts to come in handy as soon as possible, so as to further calm people's hearts."

At this time, another low-pitched announcement came from outside the hall.Immediately, an unsigned Zhazi was presented in; His Royal Highness looked at it twice, but couldn't help standing up solemnly from the rock and said: "Come here, go to Zong Bo's to inquire about it, but there is still a daughter of the right age. "

However, Jiang Tian, ​​who was secretly watched, disembarked from the wharf of Xiweicang calmly; then changed to the Jinwu Guard chariots and horses who came to pick him up and escort him, and headed slowly towards the capital; only this time In Hekouqiao City, he saw something different.

It is those large and small iron cages waiting for transshipment.Most of them are strange animals that were escorted from various places in the Guannei Road.It is said that during this period of time, the local government successively discovered and captured creatures that had undergone mutations and deformities to varying degrees;
Therefore, Jiang Tian saw not only a cow with six or seven horns growing on its head, but also a pig covered with a hard carapace; a horse monkey with a dog-like face like a legendary mandrill; But it is a bit fierce and violent, a big rabbit that gnaws on the iron bars and smashes;

However, both the civilians present and the local sergeants in prison seemed to be a little accustomed to this; they were just pointing and watching, without much fear or awe.It seems that during the time when Jiang Tian left, he has seen him many times.

But there are also some unusual corpses; for example, only the upper half of a pair is left, and the whole body is covered with water plants and algae. Jiang Tian didn't know what it was; An oversized lizard/salamander with only the head remaining.

And these strange things followed Jiang Tian and his party for more than ten miles; they did not enter the capital, but came to the southwest corner of Chang'an City between Yanping Gate and Anhua Gate.Here, an original temple was transformed into a military camp.

Therefore, under the archway outside the mountain gate of the temple, Jiang Tian not only saw groups of soldiers on duty and patrolling with helmets on, but also saw that the original plaque of the temple was replaced with a new logo "Zhenpingying".It looks no different from other garrison camps set up in Gyeonggi Province.

However, when Jiang Tian and others were led into the depths of the temple and finally came to the Sumeru Hall located on a platform, they discovered that there was another hidden cave inside.The original altars and curtains of the Buddhist altars were swept away, leaving only the empty paintings on the four walls.

However, at the base of the original shrine of the Great Buddha, an iron gate was temporarily remodeled; as the iron gates and partitions were slowly opened, a deep and cold cool breeze blew in the face The wind, and revealing a tunnel extending downward.

And this corridor has obviously been widened and reinforced, at least it can easily pass through and meet carriages; there are still bright lights on the four walls; therefore, walking in it does not seem cramped and boring; from time to time there is the sound of running water accompanied by cool wind Blow out from the corridor.

Therefore, Jiang Tian didn't walk out for a long time along this spacious corridor; after passing through three forks in the road, he suddenly saw the iron gate and the armored soldiers on duty on both sides again.The leading official presents his body badge and seal, and opens it after confirming the password.

After walking out of the iron gate, Jiang Tian's eyes were suddenly empty, but he saw a giant underground space that was somewhat familiar but unfamiliar.That is where he once explored, chased and fought, and where many stories and karmas originated, the ruined underground ghost city.

　That's all. I've been stuck in the past two days. I'm sorry.
