The official road outside the Imperial Capital may be the best built official road in the entire Han Empire. Even if it rains heavily in the sky, there is not much water or mud on the official road outside the Imperial Capital. The rainfall from the sky washed away the road on the official road cleanly. The rainwater on the road naturally flowed into the ditches on both sides of the official road...

The paved roads on the imperial official road were not stone slabs, but large thick road bricks burned from brick kilns. When Yan Liqiang went to the Forbidden City in his previous life, he heard from the tour guide of the Forbidden City that many places in the Forbidden City were paved on the ground were not stone slabs but bricks burned from brick kilns, commonly known as gold bricks, for the purpose of the imperial palace. The road bricks laid on the imperial official road were a bit similar to the gold bricks in the Forbidden City.

Under the washing and erosion of the heavy rain, the bricks on the road revealed their original blue-gray appearance, which had a unique ancient meaning.

Yan Liqiang, wearing a raincoat and an umbrella, walked on this official road, with only a pair of boots on his feet slightly dripped in the edges of his shoes. Walking on the blue-gray ancient road, Yan Liqiang felt a different kind of ease in the rain, and he didn't feel any nervous about what he was about to do, even if what he did was exposed would bring him a catastrophe.

Looking at the road surface under his feet, Yan Liqiang was amazed at the skills of the craftsmen of the Han Empire, but the scene of firing such road bricks appeared in his mind. Is it easy to firing such road bricks that are more than two feet long and one foot wide? I remember that the tour guide of the Forbidden City said that in order to burn such large floor tiles, the temperature of the brick kiln for burning such floor tiles must be very high, so that the burned floor tiles cannot be black and brittle, and it must be the same color. Each gold brick in the Forbidden City has the name of the fired brick kiln and the name of the responsible craftsman. Any gold brick can be traced back and will be cut off, so no one dares to be careless. At the same temperature, if the floor tiles are not fired, the clay and limestone will be placed in such brick kilns, and the burned one will be cement.

This is still modern cement, while the so-called ancient Roman cement is simpler. It only requires enough volcanic ash, burning new lime, plus water, sand and stone, and the most primitive concrete is constantly produced.

The ancient Chinese kiln firing technique was only separated by a layer of window paper before firing cement.

Similarly, the Han Empire now does not have convenient and fast building materials such as cement.

Roman cement created the Roman Empire. I don’t know what kind of Han empire could be created by making cement in this era.

Yan Liqiang's thoughts were flying, and the gods flew out of the sky...

"Wow..." A carriage ran over from the rain and fog. When passing by Yan Liqiang, it stopped suddenly. The driver wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat shouted to Yan Liqiang, "Little brother, it's raining heavily on the road. If I don't dislike it, I'll give you a paragraph..."

"Thank you uncle, I like to take a walk, and I'm not far from here at Ximen, I'll arrive soon!"

"Hahaha, okay, little brother, if you have good feet, walk slowly. But these two days, you don't hide from the rain under the tree. Last year, several trees next to the official road were hit by thunder!" The coachman laughed and reminded Yan Liqiang, then shook the reins and drove the car into the rain.

This was the third enthusiastic person Yan Liqiang met along the way to see him walking in the rain and wanted to take him along the way.

Yan Liqiang didn't get in the car, but his heart was already warmed by the little kindness of these strangers in succession.

Looking at the carriage that disappeared in the rain, Yan Liqiang's belief and determination became harder and harder at this moment. When the natural disaster comes a few years later, we must let millions of people leave the imperial capital and escape from heaven. We must also live until that time. All those who are blocking their own goal are just one word, killing them, and never merciless...

...

When Yan Liqiang came to the west gate of the Imperial Capital, it was approaching evening, and the sky became darker and the rain in the sky became much smaller.

Yan Liqiang still entered the Imperial Capital City from Xihua Gate. As soon as he entered the city, he had just walked less than fifty meters away. Yan Liqiang felt that he was being targeted.

The one staring at him was a man in gray clothes, in his thirties, with an ordinary face, and had never seen him before.

The man was hiding from the rain on the street at Xihua Gate just now, and his eyes were scanning the faces of the person entering the city. As soon as Yan Liqiang entered the city, the man's eyes turned around Yan Liqiang's face twice, and then he mingled beside several cars and horses entering the city, followed Yan Liqiang quietly.

Yan Liqiang was stared at Xihuamen for the first time because of Fang Beidou. This time the person staring at him obviously had nothing to do with Fang Beidou.

However, Yan Liqiang was not surprised, because this was long before he expected, and even confirmed his guess that the news about him in Luyuan is not confidential. Anyone with a heart can tell if he comes to the Imperial Capital from Luyuan, and Xihua Gate is the closest. Therefore, as long as he leaves someone at Xihua Gate and waits for the rabbit, if he wants to come out of Luyuan to the Imperial Capital, he will be targeted as soon as he enters the city gate.

The purpose of catching people is to grasp the whereabouts and news of that person. This is a prelude to dealing with someone. As for whom he is to deal with, Yan Liqiang can think about it and think about it. Now the entire Imperial Capital City can have a festive relationship with such an inconspicuous "little person" and like to use despicable means. Isn't it just Xu Lang and the people...

It seems that the decision to make the best of yourself is correct.

Yan Liqiang did not look back, and was still walking with an umbrella, and did not deliberately want to ask the person behind him to take a look. The smile on his face inexplicably became a little colder.

...

When we arrived at Tianwaitian, the rain in the sky stopped. Outside Tianwaitian Restaurant, a string of long lanterns had already been hung, and gorgeous carriages and horses were parked outside the restaurant. From time to time, people who were either rich or noble came down from the carriage and entered Tianwaitian.

Yan Liqiang arrived half an hour earlier than the scheduled time, which was considered polite. Lu Peien, who contacted the dinner, came earlier. A manager next to Lu Peien had already been waiting at the restaurant.

As soon as Yan Liqiang walked over, the Lu family's manager's eyes lit up immediately and he hurriedly came forward, "Young Master Yan..."

"Well, is Brother Lu coming?" Yan Liqiang said, while handing the umbrella and poncho in his hand to the maids in the two restaurants.

"Sixth Master is already in the room. If you tell me, Mr. Yan, please bring Mr. Yan up..."

"Okay, let's go..."

When entering the restaurant, Yan Liqiang saw the man in green staring at him from the corner of his eyes, standing on the street more than 30 meters away from the restaurant, staring at him entering the restaurant...

After Yan Liqiang completely entered Tianwaitian, the man in green walked towards Tianwaitian Restaurant, but as soon as he was about to enter, he was stopped by several welcoming guests standing at the entrance of the restaurant.

"Which guest is the room we booked in Tianwaitian?" Tianwaitian's welcome guest had a professional and polite smile on his face, but his picky and sharp eyes instantly looked the man in green from head to toe, and his eyes unknowingly showed a hint of disgust.

"I have a friend who just went in. I went in and looked for someone..." said the man in green.

"Sorry, we all welcome guests who have booked rooms in advance. If the guest has a friend inside, the guest tell me the room where your friend is and I will take the guest in. If you don't know where your friend is, then please wait outside the door..."

"I have something urgent to do, so I can be more comfortable..." The man in blue smiled and nodded and bowed.

"Then the guest officer tell me the name of your friend, about his appearance, age, and what clothes he is wearing. I'll go in and ask for you!"

The man in blue suddenly opened his mouth, "This...this..."

The man in blue wanted to say something, but the welcoming guest gave a wink. The two strong and strong restaurant guards next to him had already come over, staring at him with a burning look, and one of them pinched his fists and made a crackling sound.

The man in green had no choice but to leave helplessly, but did not walk far away, but waited on the roadside dozens of meters away from the Tianwai Tianmen...
