Chapter 27 Thinking Too Simple
Li Mansion Department.
Over the past few days, the Li Mansion Hall has almost become a place for everyone in the Li Mansion to gather.
The people in the Li Mansion were trapped in the Li Mansion, and the howlings of zombies outside the mansion could be heard at all times. The people in the Li Mansion were gathered in the main hall almost always, as if everyone was together, so everyone was more at ease.
Aunt Qian took Li Ling's hand and whispered to her disobedient, and she was running around naughtyly at this time.
Li Xuanming sat in the main hall, his eyebrows and eyes slowly recited the words on the red edict with his stretched eyes.
As the edict was finished, everyone in the hall was overjoyed, and the tense nerves were rarely relaxed. Almost all the servants smiled, and some even cried with joy.
It turned out that the emperor did not give up on the people in the capital!
The edict said that the emperor decided to lead the army in the capital to move the capital, leave the capital, and go to Jinlin City. All the people in the capital could follow the team that moved the capital, be protected by the army, and leave this city full of zombies.
The people in the Li family were trapped in the mansion and had no way out. Now, when they heard the news that the emperor wanted to lead the army to lead them to a way out, they were naturally overjoyed.
After reading the edict, Li Xuanming handed it to Li Jingshu who was standing beside him. Then he leaned on the back of the chair and murmured: "Sure enough! There are also ancient books in the palace, calling those things zombies."
Hearing this, Li Lingru was struck by lightning.
When he first saw the edict, Li Ling was only confused about the "old capital Jinlin City", but he never thought that the red edict also called those things "zombies"!
Li Ling's eyes wandered.
Why do people in this world, ancient people in this world, also know the name "zombie"?
This... cannot be a coincidence!
Could it be that in this world, there were other time travelers a long time ago?!
That's why time travelers spoke the word zombie, which was later recorded in books - the so-called ancient books?
Just when Li Ling was suspicious in her heart, Li Xuanming sighed with a relaxed look on his face: "Yes! It's time to go back to Jinlin City!"
Li Ling quickly stopped his random thoughts and asked with a puzzled look: "Go back to Jinlin City?"
Li Xuanming stroked his beard with a relaxed expression and said, "Yes! Go back to Jinlin!"
Seeing that Li Ling was still puzzled, Li Xuanming said: "Jingjing, have you forgotten the story about the Spring Festival?"
Li Ling said: "I know the Spring Festival. Rumors are that this world comes from the end of the world. Two gods built a city to allow all things to grow, humans appear...and so on, are you saying?"
Li Xuanming nodded affirmatively.
"What?" Li Ling frowned: "How is it possible?! You said that Jinlin City is the city in the story? The first human city built by the gods? How is this possible? Not to mention whether this story is true or false, even if this story is true, this story has been circulating for tens of thousands of years, the city tens of thousands of years ago... Now, it is still there?"
Li Xuanming nodded again, and he couldn't help but say in a lesson: "Jingjing, you have read a lot of idle books, but you really know very little about historical books. That Jinlin City is indeed the legendary city, the first city in the human world. For tens of thousands of years, Jinlin City has been standing still. Not only that, over the past tens of thousands of years, Jinlin City has been several times as the most powerful defensive city in the world, and has also been used as Kyoto several times. Therefore, Jinlin City has been constantly renovated and rebuilt by emperors of various dynasties. Jinlin City may have changed countless ways, but it is called Jinlin, and it has indeed not been changed for tens of thousands of years."
Regarding Li Xuanming's explanation, Li Ling could only sigh: "Incredible...incredible..."
Li Xuanming smiled slightly: "Since the gods built Jinlin City for us, and now that the end of the world is coming, of course we have to return to Jinlin City."
Li Ling tilted his head and spoke tentatively: "Just because of that rumor, I will move the capital?" Isn't this pure superstition?
"Of course it's not the only one," Li Xuanming said: "I think there is another reason why Your Majesty proposed the Crown Prince to move the capital, that is, Jinlin City is the most easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack city in our Great Zhou territory. Although I have never been to Jinlin City, I also know that Jinlin City was built to guard against external attacks. Everything in the city is the most suitable for defense."
Li Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Since Jinlin City is so good, why didn't the Great Zhou Dynasty just use Jinlin City as Kyoto when it was founded? In this way, it would save the current capital from moving. As long as your Majesty summons the entire country into the capital and clean up the zombies in the capital, wouldn't it be better?"
Li Xuanming looked at Li Ling and turned into a mature official's look at his ignorant little girl: "Jingjing, you don't understand. Although Jinlin City has the strongest defense, it has inconvenient transportation. If Jinlin City is the capital and the center of the Great Zhou, then it will be very difficult for our Great Zhou to prosper."
Li Xuanming stroked his beard and said, "Of course, over the past thousands of years, many emperors from dynasties have not been enterprising and have regarded Jinlin City as the capital. In that case, the royal family living in Jinlin City is very safe, but if they want to control the entire country and build the entire country better, it will not be possible..."
"Any royal family who is determined to build a prosperous and powerful royal family that the country wants to build will mostly choose the "Hongcheng" where we are now. Any royal family whose country is turbulent and whose imperial power is difficult to stabilize will often choose Jinlin City as the capital. Because of this, in history books, in addition to the "Hongcheng" where we are now, "Jinlin City" is the city with the most numerous Kyoto. Therefore, people often call Jinlin City the old capital..."
Here, Li Xuanming rarely had the patience and talked about the history of Jinlin City with Li Ling, and he was almost like to introduce history books to teach them.
On the other side, Li Jingshu frowned and suddenly interrupted loudly, "You seem to think too far away from things, it's too simple..."
Li Ling and everyone in the main hall were stunned and turned to look at Li Jingshu.
Li Jingshu returned the red edict to Li Xuanming and said, "Your Majesty's edict says that half a month later, the army led by Your Majesty will be at the south gate of the capital. At that time, all the people in the capital will go to the south gate and then join the army's guards."
"Yes!" Li Xuanming looked inexplicable. He took the edict and put it on the table next to his hand: "In half a month, half a month, the food in our mansion is completely enough."
Li Ling immediately understood what Li Jingshu meant and was unable to support her forehead: "We, we can't walk to the south gate..."
Everyone in the main hall was stunned when they heard this.
yes!
The capital is full of zombies. Not to mention rushing to the south gate of the capital to join the emperor's army, just walking out of the Li Mansion, I am afraid that everyone will be immediately beaten up by the zombies!
After receiving the emperor's edict, everyone was excited to think that they were saved, but they didn't expect that they would not be able to get out of this first step!
