wild trail

Chapter 437
After the two sides approached, a young general on the warship in Xingang City shouted loudly: "You are that army, do you have a warrant?"

"We are an expedition team going west under His Majesty's order. Now we are returning and request to dock." The captain replied loudly.

Hearing this, there was a burst of whispering from the Xingang City fleet, and after a while, the young general said, "You are the fleet that left two years ago."

"If there's been no other expedition over the years, it's us."

"It turned out to be the hero of the expedition team. I am Wu Yun, the naval guard of Xingang City. Welcome back, all warriors."

The young officer said solemnly.

The captain sized up the young officer, nodded secretly, cupped his hands and said, "The expedition team boarded Zhao Qiang and met Wu Shoubei."

"Captain Wu came back from a long journey. I think he must be very tired. Please follow me to the city to rest. I will arrange for the dragoons to pass the news back to the capital. I think His Majesty will be very happy to hear that all the warriors have returned safely."

After speaking, he made a gesture of please, turned the bow of the ship and led the expedition team to the port.

The people at the port saw the navy and returned not long after they left. Although they were a little curious, Dao didn’t care too much about it. Everyone is busy with their own lives. In this young country, there are opportunities everywhere. As long as you work hard, you will be happy. Who can live a good life with muskets, who would care about important court affairs that have nothing to do with him.

After the fleet docked, they followed the expedition team to Xiaguo as handymen, and they were already stunned by everything in front of them.

They are still in the primitive tribes, have never seen such a majestic city, the pedestrians coming and going are all wearing beautiful clothes and combing their hair neatly.

Compared with these people, the De'ang people couldn't help feeling inferior, and stood on the pier at a loss, not knowing what to do.

The young De'ang man felt more and more frustrated when he saw such a powerful Xia Kingdom. With such a powerful group, his hope of revenge became even more slim. Let alone seeing the legendary emperor of Xia Kingdom, as long as he He dared to make drastic moves, and he had no doubt that these people would kill him immediately.

Compared with this powerful ethnic group, the pride of himself and the De'ang people seemed so fragile.

"Find them a place and keep an eye on them. This is not a wild place. If these guys break the law, we will be implicated too." The first mate gave instructions to the sailors, and followed the captain and the young general to the majestic to Xingang City.

Xingang City's city wall made of stones and cement looks extremely majestic. After using cement, the city wall looks like a huge stone embedded in the ground.

Two years ago, this place was still simple adobe and fences, but now it is here again. This huge change surprised everyone who saw it.

Seeing this, Wu Yun, the guard, couldn't help but smiled proudly and said, "Captain Zhao, this Xingang City has changed a lot compared to before."

The captain nodded, "It has indeed changed a lot, and here is not much worse than the capital."

Wu Yun laughed when he heard the words: "I was joking with the captain. How can this Xingang City be compared with the capital? Now the capital is said to have 10,000+ people, and the city wall stretches for several miles. Compared with the capital, Xingang City is like a small village. .”

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and asked, "The capital city has changed so much?"

Wu Yun nodded and said: "I just returned from the capital city two months ago. The capital city is really too big. If I don't see it with my own eyes, I can't imagine that there will be such a majestic city in this world."

Everyone was deeply moved when they heard the words, two years seemed like a lifetime away.

When everyone entered the city gate, they saw orderly streets and houses in the city. Although there were not many shops in the city, they seemed to have a complete range of shops. It might be because of the proximity to the sea, and there was a fishy smell in the air. .

The captain saw a huge wooden box every ten meters on both sides of the street, but he didn't know what it was for.

Out of curiosity, I asked Wu Yun.

Wu Yun replied: "These are called trash cans. They just appeared not long ago. Nowadays, cities with more than 3000 people in Daxia have to put some of these things. The doctor of Daxia Medical Center said that most diseases are caused by dirt. Therefore, the imperial court issued a decree to prohibit the people from constipating at will and throwing sundries in the city. These discarded things are called garbage, and these are wooden barrels for garbage. Although it is a bit troublesome on weekdays, the city is indeed much cleaner. , and there are a lot fewer bugs flying around.”

After the captain finished listening, he looked at the surrounding streets. The roads were still loess roads, but they had been cleaned very cleanly, and there was no such smelly feces. This is indeed a rare miracle in this era.

While speaking, everyone came to the Navy Yamen in the city.

Everyone looked at the neat big characters "Xingang City Navy Yamen" engraved on the top of the tall wooden door. On both sides of the steps outside the door, eight soldiers stood straight on both sides with spears, which added a lot of chill to this place.

"I didn't expect the yamen in Xingang City to be so grand." The captain said with emotion.

"This is also a lot of new tools in recent years, and the output of cement and bricks has increased a lot, otherwise we are willing to use those things to build here."

Wu Yun smiled, and then told the soldiers: "Arrange a few quick rooms, fetch some clean clothes, and notify the restaurant next door to bring over some wine and meat. These are the heroes of the Great Xia, you must do it!" Don't be slow."

A few soldiers sized up the expedition team members curiously, but they didn't dare to ask more questions, and hurriedly went to prepare according to Wu Yun's instructions.

"General Wu, we can just eat whatever we want, it can make you so troublesome." The captain said politely.

"Everyone travels thousands of miles to the west. I am also a naval garrison. I am very aware of the dangers on the sea. I admire you very much. It's just a little wine and meat. There is a popular saying in Daxia recently, which is called "receiving the wind and washing the dust. Warriors return to Daxia. The foothold is Xingang City, which is under garrison, and I should clean up the dust for all the warriors."

Listening to such polite words, although these five big and three thick men sounded a little awkward, but the meaning was not difficult to understand. Knowing that this young man was praising himself, he felt very comfortable in his heart, and his face could not help showing a look of complacency.

"Thank you General Wu, we are all subjects of Daxia, and it is what we should do to contribute to Daxia." The captain said politely.

While the few people were chatting, Wu Yun took everyone to the yamen to sit down, and personally filled the drinks for everyone.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked.

It's not like everyone has seen this kind of thing before. The first time they saw this drink, everyone knew in their hearts that it was iced juice, but how expensive the ice cubes are, Wu Yun can take out such a precious thing to entertain people like himself, so that everyone What a surprise.
