Datang Mechanical Era

Chapter 6 Murder outside Xingqing Palace

Ten minutes later, a river appeared in front of Bai Yang, as well as a beautiful stone arch bridge spanning both sides of the river.

"Baqiao Feixu is so beautiful!" Wang Qingyue said.

Bai Tianyang thought to himself: "What are the ruins of Baqiao? I knew it. The bridge is only 10.56 meters long." Thinking about it, he rode up to Baqiao.

At the same time, his AR contact lens began to introduce the relevant situation of Baqiao, including the geographical location of Baqiao in real history, and why Qin Mugong changed "Zishui" to "Bashui", and in Ba Bridge was built on "Ba River"; and in the Tang Dynasty, why did people call Ba Bridge "Broken Soul Bridge".

"This is one of the ten most beautiful sights in Chang'an." Wang Qingyue said, "Look, the willow catkins all over the sky and this stone arch bridge are so beautiful. Do you know that poem: 'The willows are full of smoke in the spring on the bank, and they climb and break for pedestrians every year.' , I’m talking about Baqiao.”

Bai Tianyang smiled awkwardly and said to himself: "I only know that I can visually detect that the overall center of gravity of this bridge is below the largest bridge hole in the middle, about 0.2 meters, so this bridge is very stable and will not collapse. .The engineers who built it are awesome.”

Wang Qingyue said: "In ancient times, people from Chang'an, when sending relatives and friends out, would break willows to see each other off as a farewell. Therefore, when talking about the scenery, they would say 'spring flowers and autumn moon', and when saying goodbye, they would say 'liu bank and Baqiao'. I don't know. Did Sister Ying enter Tang Dynasty Chang'an from here?"

Bai Tianyang muttered: "Let's go to the city and have a look. You can get to Furong Garden in 40 minutes at most." He whipped "Da Baicai" on the rear buttocks with a riding crop. "Da Baicai" let out a long hiss and spread his hooves toward him. He ran away in front of him.

Wang Qingyue rode up to catch up and said, "Brother Tianyang, I have a question to ask. Don't scold me."

Bai Tianyang nodded and said, "Just ask."

Wang Qingyue said: "Did you really touch that young lady on purpose just now?"

Bai Tianyang said: "No."

"You're lying, that girl is actually so beautiful, she looks like a big star."

"When it comes to beauty, who can be as good-looking as her?"

"Who is she? Oh, is she Sister Ying?"

"Um."

"When it comes to Sister Ying, your eyes sparkle. Okay, I believe you. But that old Du doesn't believe it. Look, he is still following us."

Bai Tianyang looked back, and sure enough, "Old Du" was still following him, less than 10 meters away from him.

Bai Tianyang shook his head and muttered: "It's so unlucky that I messed with such a guy when I first came here."

The two men and two horses continued westward, leaping over the Chan River, the horses flying into the air, and the waiting slope. Along the way, there were gradually more and more pedestrians, and the surroundings became more and more noisy.

The setting sun shone head-on from the west, piercing Bai Tianyang's face and making him unable to open his eyes. He could only build a pergola with his hands, looked forward, and found that he could already see the silhouette of a towering city wall on the skyline.

"The Chunming Gate has arrived." Bai Tianyang thought to himself.

There are three gates in the east of Chang'an, from north to south they are Tonghua Gate, Chunming Gate and Yanxing Gate. Among them, the Chunming Gate located in the center is undoubtedly the most important.

During the day, Yang rode his horse closer and saw that the city gate had a total of three deep door openings. Soldiers wearing ancient Tang army armor stood on both sides of the door opening. A large number of people were entering and exiting through the door opening.

Bai Tianyang and Wang Qingyue approached Chunming Gate. Under the prompts of the AR glasses, they dismounted and held the reins, showing the "road guide" given to them by the tour guide in advance to the robot NPC guarding the city gate.

The robot soldier glanced at them briefly before waving them in.

After walking through a doorway of about 24 meters, you will find the prosperous Tang Dynasty Chang'an.

And inside Chunming Gate, on the right side is the famous Xingqing Palace of the Tang Dynasty. The palace walls are towering and soldiers stand, solemn and glorious. A large number of tourists stopped here, taking photos with AR glasses, and with the patrolling robot NPC soldiers, the place was bustling and noisy.

Looking at the endless flow of people around, Wang Qingyue was obviously a little confused: "We are here, what should we do next?"

Bai Tianyang said: "There should be a complex road connecting the city here at Chunming Gate, which can lead directly to Furong Garden."

Wang Qingyue shook her head: "We can't get in. The tour guide introduced that there are some places in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty that require special status to enter, which means you have to pay extra. For example, the imperial palace and the emperor's exclusive Jiacheng Road, you have to pay a big price. , only by purchasing the status of the emperor's personal bodyguard or a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty. We are just ordinary people now, the cheapest tourist status, it won't work."

Bai Tianyang said: "That's okay. We're at Dongshi just ahead. Let's turn left and go south, passing Changlefang, Jinggongfang, Xinchangfang, Shengdaofang, Dunhuafang, and then we'll reach Qujiang Pool. The entrance to the computer room It's in the apricot garden next to Qujiang Pool... It takes about 6,400 meters to walk. If you're running at a medium speed, the speed is 30 kilometers per hour, and you can get there in a quarter of an hour."

Wang Qingyue looked at him with surprise and admiration, and said, "The calculation is so accurate? But, can we race horses in the city?"

Bai Tianyang said: "Get on the horse, don't be afraid. The Heinz robot horse uses the auxiliary driving technology of Alpha Company, and it will never hurt anyone when it runs!" With that, Bai Tianyang got on the horse again.

Wang Qingyue also agreed and quickly mounted the horse.

Bai Tianyang shouted: "Chinese cabbage, remove the apricots..." Before the word "garden" came out, suddenly, there was a violent noise from the front.

"Is that the emperor?"

"Should be called a saint!"

"Tang Xuanzong, Tang Minghuang! Where is Concubine Yang!"

Bai Tianyang discovered that a large number of people had gathered outside the wall of Xingqing Palace more than 20 meters away from him. These people cheered towards a magnificent two-story brick and wood structure inside the palace wall.

Bai Tianyang searched through his memory and immediately understood: that was the famous Qin Zheng Building in Xingqing Palace.

Xingqing Palace has two layers of palace walls on the south side. The first layer is similar to a city wall. It is full of battlements and has a wide galloping road that can be used for riding horses.

Further inside, about 10 meters away from the first level of palace wall, there is another level of palace wall. There are also eaves on the top of the palace wall on this level, which is actually more like a cloister.

The main building of the Qin Government Affairs Building is located on the second floor of the city wall. Its main entrance is on the first floor, located to the north of the second-floor city wall. On the second floor, there are four large vermilion windows facing the south.

The place where people gather is a square. This square is located southwest of Xingqing Palace and northeast of Dongshi. It is also an important attraction in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

The main building of Qinzhengwu is the main hall of Xingqing Palace. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong and Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, all major ceremonies such as the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial examination, and amnesty were held in the Xingqing Palace Square near this building.

Could it be that the emperor appeared in the Qinzhengwu main building at this time?

Tian Yang felt a strong curiosity in his heart: What did the emperor who had the most profound impact on the history of the Tang Dynasty look like?

It is said that the "Tang Xuanzong" in the theme park is a robot built with the most advanced technology based on historical records, expert opinions, and is very close to the real Tang Xuanzong in history.

Anyway, I'm on my way, so I won't waste a few seconds. Let's take a look.

Thinking of this, Bai Tianyang and Wang Qingyue rode forward together, and soon entered the square and arrived at the palace wall near the main building of Qin Zhengwu.

The size of this square is no less than that of the People's Square in Shanghai. At this time, the crowd is concentrated near the main building of the Qin Government, making it easy to observe inward. Tang Dynasty soldiers (robot NPCs) are trying their best to maintain order.

About 5 meters away from the palace wall, Bai Tianyang raised his head and looked towards the second floor of the Qin Zhengwu main building, but at first glance, he did not see the emperor.

At the same time, subtitles began to appear on his AR glasses introducing the Qinzhengwu Building and the nearby "No. 1 Building in the World" - Huacalyx Xianghui Building.

It is a pity that in history, the southwest corner of Xingqing Palace underwent major renovations in the 24th year of Kaiyuan. Since then, the Huacalyx Xianghui Building is no longer adjacent to the streets and squares outside Xingqing Palace. Can't see it. The Tang Dynasty Chang'an Theme Park strictly follows this historical setting.

The bustling crowd around also put a smile on Wang Qingyue's face: "Sister Ying will definitely be very happy if she is here."

Bai Tianyang only heard her say the word "Sister Ying" and couldn't hear the rest of her words clearly. He couldn't help but ask loudly: "What?"

Wang Qingyue shouted at the top of her lungs: "Our company provides artificial intelligence solutions to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty! You see, these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all robots, and many of them use artificial intelligence provided by our engineers!"

Bai Tianyang was stunned: Ou Ying's company is also a supplier of Datang Chang'an after a long dispute.

He wanted to ask more details, but suddenly he felt someone tugging on his trousers.

Bai Tianyang looked down and found a man in commoner clothes standing at his feet, tugging at his trouser legs.

"Old man, what's the matter?" Bai Tianyang said.

"You... please give me a hand, quickly!"

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Tianyang was startled.

He took a closer look and saw that the man was slightly fat, with half gray hair and half black hair, and his back was obviously hunched.

"Old Tang!"

The hunchbacked man in civilian clothes raised his head, revealing the face of a middle-aged, slightly fat man.

"It's me, hurry, hurry!"

Bai Tianyang forcefully pulled Old Tang onto the horse, asked him to sit behind him, and said, "If you don't stay at the police station, what are you doing here?"

"Send me to the apricot garden."

"We are going to Xingyuan, what are you going there for? Because of Ou Ying?"

"Don't take the roads in the city. Go out of the city gate and go around from the south." "Why?"

"Listen to me!" Old Tang shouted sharply.

Bai Tianyang concluded that Old Tang must have come to investigate Ou Ying's disappearance. Moreover, he should have grasped some important clues.

Thinking of this, Bai Tianyang no longer hesitated, turned around on his horse and headed towards Chunming Gate.

But before "Big Cabbage" started running, Bai Tianyang heard a subtle and ominous sound in his ears.

"Whoosh~~~"

"ah!"

Old Tang behind him suddenly let out a scream.

Almost at the same time, the surrounding crowd suddenly burst into cheers. Therefore, no one heard Old Tang's scream except Bai Tianyang.

Bai Tianyang was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"

"Quick...quick...ahem..."

Old Tang spit out the word "quick" and coughed violently. During the day, Yang felt a slight heat on the back of his neck, some liquid splashed on it, and a fishy smell entered his nose.

Old Tang spurted blood!

Moreover, there was a strange chirping sound coming from Old Tang's throat. Bai Tianyang judged that he should have been hit by an arrow in the lung, which suddenly caused an injury such as pneumothorax.

During the day, my heart and mind were broken.
