The King of the Warring States Era - C49
Young Master Wei and Gan Mao spoke extremely frankly with each other, as though they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
At that time, the Wei Nation had lost its overlord status. Now that thirty years had passed, the Wei Nation has lost many talented people, and has gradually returned to its old system of no return. There is no road for the strong to return, and it will be very difficult for the Wei Nation to become strong. ” Gan Mao judged the situation of the Wei Nation right off the bat, he did not give the other party a single shred of respect.
The Young Master Wei snorted, then turned to the house general beside him and said, “I have already worked hard, and will escort you back to your residence after entering the city.”
The military generals, strategists, swordsmen, and the others all mounted their horses and turned around. The armored cavalrymen’s guards followed closely behind them, and a large group of nearly a thousand people marched majestically towards the Great Liang City, which was illuminated by the setting sun.
Daliang was located on a plentiful plain, bordered by the Yellow River in the north, connected by a great lake in the south, and connected by water and land in all directions. Not only was it the center of economic, cultural and political life in the Wei Kingdom, it was also the central city of the entire Central Plains. From ancient times until now, there had never been a successful battle in the defense of a river.
The Daliang City was square, with a circumference of twenty li. The city walls were thirty meters and six feet tall, and had four doors, all three inside and outside.
There was a side wall on the wall, and a further brick battlements on the side wall. The battlements between the brick piles were the lookout holes and shooting openings of the guards, and on the walls were majestic city towers, turrets, watchtowers, standing at intervals; the roof of the building was a heavy, nine-ridge mountain style, surrounded by columns that descended onto the road.
“The Millennium Ancient City has a vicissitude of history! I, Chen Ling, what ability do I have to travel two thousand years of space and time to arrive at Warring States Age and experience the life of the ancient people? Chen Ling was extremely excited in his heart, he continuously looked around, trying to observe as much of the original appearance of the ancient city as possible.
The Young Master Wei had a lot of power in the Wei Kingdom, only second to the crown prince, and had even overshadowed them in terms of prestige. Because in the past two years, Wei Yu had the Qi Nation Alliance, so he had begun to recruit all the heroes of the realm, warriors, and guests.
The five hundred guards of the House of the Marquis, armed with spears and long bows, rushed into the city like lightning. All the pedestrians and separated soldiers moved to the side as far as possible, and then, the guards of the Young Master Wei were all fierce and fierce.
Entering the city, a historical scene froze in place, causing Chen Ling to feel dizzy. There were green brick and gray tiles, a flower pavilion, a huge shop with high cabinets, a display of strange items, teahouses, everything that could be seen.
The ancient city was divided into the outer city and inner city, and the inner city was divided into the inner city and inner city. Outside of the city, there were people from the countryside, which was also considered concubines. Chen Ling and the rest entered the inner city, which was divided into the inner city and the inner city.
Wei Yu’s position was much more powerful than that of a duke, and he resided in the main street of the inner city, where a grand manor appeared in front of everyone. Two stone lions were placed at the sides of the gate, and ten blade and axe men stood at the entrance, each of them looking straight ahead, tall and sturdy, making the ordinary citizens absolutely terrified. There were ten steps outside the walls of the manor, and there were even spires placed at the four corners of the walls of the manor.
Chen Ling thought: One day, I will also become an extremely powerful Ranker of this era, causing the people of the world to look up to me!
Since there was still an hour before the banquet, when Chen Ling entered the manor, he was first brought down to bathe and change. This bath was alright, but four young, beautiful female servants helped him take off his clothes and clean his body, then helped him change his clothes, pants and socks. Chen Ling didn’t even need to use half a finger to change.
Chen Ling looked at the maid attire that was half revealed and couldn’t help but move his strange hands and pinch a few key spots on the servant’s body. Not only were these servant girls not reproaching him, they even ate and laughed, looking extremely charming and gentle.
As night fell, the Wei Gongzi Residence was brightly lit, the hall had almost a hundred tables placed, from the main hall to the courtyard outside, the table was filled with meat cauldrons, wine jugs, three-legged bronze statues, etc. Inside the hall, there were two lengthened screens, behind the screens on one side were clocks, various musical instruments, and music for musicians to play, and on the other side were places for singers to dress and dance.
Tonight, they were openly welcoming the attention of Qin Nation Gan Mao, and secretly holding a battle for political argument. Especially regarding Qin Nation, which nation’s military and political strength was superior or inferior to the Wei Nation, Young Master Wei hoped that through this debate, they would be able to understand the disparity between Qin and Wei Empire, and the places that were worth learning from. As a result, hundreds of scholars from the different families in the palace, all of them were present, ready to challenge Gan Mao.
“I heard that Gan Mao insulted my Young Noble outside the city. How can we take this anger in?”
“Hmph, he’s just a prisoner, how dare he speak nonsense to humiliate young master? “How dare you! Let’s see how my famous scholar scolds him!”
“I am not good enough, could it be that you, the Confucian scholar, will be fine?” “The mediocre can accomplish nothing!”
“You, don’t go too far!”
“…” Before the banquet had even begun, these guests had already begun quarreling with each other. All of the guests had resonated with each other, and none of them were willing to accept the other.
At this moment, the melodious sound of a bell rang out. The banquet was about to begin.
