Chapter 212 is still not enough
Meng Changqing had rested in the afternoon. He didn't feel sleepy while lying in bed at night, so he simply stood up and took out the planning diagram he had drawn before.
This is the general idea about Beishan County that she drew half a year ago.
The approximate locations of towns, farmland, and roads have been circled.
Looking at the re-surveyed map of Beishan County, Meng Changqing looked at it carefully again. After reading it, he was about to put it away, but his eyes suddenly noticed the place outside the county boundary, and the movements of his hands stopped.
Suddenly, she felt that her previous vision for Beishan County was not perfect enough.
With some new ideas in her mind, she dug out the entire map of Liangzhou.
The next day, before the fifth watch was heard, Meng Changqing sat up from the bed suddenly and looked at the hourglass in the room. It should be Yinshijie, that is, about four o'clock in the morning.
Meng Changqing lit the lamp, got dressed, and walked out of the room on crutches.
After walking a few steps, when he reached the middle of the yard, he was stopped by Lai Cai, "Master? Where are you going before dawn?"
The cotton-padded jacket that Lai Cai was wearing was crooked and he was holding an official sword in his hand. After seeing clearly that it was his young master, he was obviously relieved.
"I have something to ask the Imperial Guard."
Laicai stepped forward to help her, "The floor is slippery, please be careful. If you need anything, I can just tell you."
"No, no, you go wake Bafang up. I'm going out later." At this point, the door to the right side room suddenly slammed open with great force.
Xi Bei came out with a rather ugly face, "Where are you going? You're not taking me with you? If you ask someone to stab you in your right foot again, you'll be walking with two crutches and you'll be even stronger than you are now. ! ”
"Master." Meng Changqing smiled, "I'm going to go up to the city wall to have a look, but I won't go anywhere else. There will be no danger."
"What did you say when you returned to Beijing last time?" Xi Bei stood still in front of Meng Changqing, and then spoke with an exaggerated expression, "You said there would be no danger under the emperor's feet, but what happened? What happened to your injury?" < br>
Meng Changqing could only smile awkwardly.
Xi Bei held back her temper, "You are injured. I don't want to cause trouble for you at this time, but I won't worry if I don't follow you."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master." Meng Changqing said, "I'll go and tell Mr. Bai, when you come to make money, remember to call Bafang up."
"Hey!" Laicai went back to his room and lifted the quilt from Bafang. Regardless of whether he understood it or not, he quickly said something to him, and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
The Royal Guards were on duty day and night, and there were always people watching Meng Changqing's side. Although they did not go to the door of the room to guard, the Royal Guards on duty could naturally hear him talking in the yard.
Meng Changqing walked outside the courtyard where they lived. Chu Mufeng had heard the news and was waiting at the door.
"Master Meng, do you have something to do with me?"
Meng Changqing nodded, "I plan to go out."
"Okay, I will arrange for someone to go with you."
"Thank you, please help me go to the front office and let me know." After Meng Changqing got on the carriage, Lai Cai quickly brought a food box, which contained fried vermicelli that had just come out of the pot, and medicine kept warm in an earthen pot. Before leaving, Don't forget to pay attention, "Master, eat something to cushion you first and then drink medicine."
"I remember." Meng Changqing waved to him, "Go back and sleep for a while."
"Master, sit down, let's go." Bafang waved his whip and drove forward.
There are currently only wild roads for people and livestock in Beishan County, and the flatness of the ground is limited. Sitting in the carriage is very bumpy. Meng Changqing sighed while holding the fried fans. Lai Cai is careful when doing things.
The carriage didn't go very fast. Meng Changqing finished eating and drinking, and rested on the cushion for a long time before arriving.
After being helped out of the car by Xi Bei and looking at the city wall in front of him, Meng Changqing had one thought: Not enough.
It's still not tall enough or strong enough.
The basis of all her visions for Beishan County was that this wall could not be breached by enemy forces, so it had to be impregnable.
Several soldiers guarding the wall came forward to inquire and confirmed that it was someone from the yamen who relaxed their vigilance.
"Sir, I have not received any notice of your arrival before, so please forgive me for any offense I have made."
Meng Changqing waved his hand, "It's okay, it was my own impromptu decision. You can go back."
"Yes."
Meng Changqing walked along the wall for a long time.
During the last construction of the city wall, most of the slopes had been demolished, and stairs for going up and down had been built at intervals.
There is a room under each staircase where tools and weapons are stored and where the guarding soldiers can rest.
As soon as Meng Changqing reached the stairs, Bafang stopped her and squatted down in front of her, "Master, I will carry you up."
"No need." Meng Changqing didn't even think about avoiding him.
Bafang kept squatting and moved to Meng Changqing, "Come on, you're welcome, it's very hard to get up and down with a crutch."
"No need!" Meng Changqing pushed him away and jumped into the basket placed against the wall. "Just go up first and then pull me up."
This basket is used to transport stones, weapons and other things on a daily basis. Although it is dirty, there is no problem with the load. It is enough for Meng Changqing to go up and down, and it is equipped with a pulley set. Using it to pull Meng Changqing up will definitely save more effort than carrying her up.
After hearing this, Bafang ran up quickly. After a while, the ropes binding the baskets tightened, and Meng Changqing successfully climbed up the wall.
Standing on the city wall and looking down, your eyes will first be attracted by the river in the distance. It is the river flowing from Weishan Pass, and the river surface reflects the gradually brightening morning light.
"Mr. Meng." The officers and soldiers guarding the wall came over to say hello, "I didn't know you were here. What orders do you have?"
"I'm here to see what you should do. There's no need to ask Colonel Zhang. I'll just leave after seeing it. There's nothing else for you to do."
