Chapter 1303 There Are Really Others
Lan Rong and his men became more confident after finding the surviving Dongqing people in several villages.
The fact that Dongqing still had people made them feel a strong sense of belonging to Dongqing instantly. This feeling was really strange, and it was difficult to explain why for a while.
But if they worked hard to find Dong Qing, this place would be empty and just endless ruins, with nothing here, everything would just be the remnants of time and vicissitudes, then it would just be a mechanized reconstruction.
But it’s different for some people.
The local customs and culture have been preserved. They can hear the authentic Dongqing dialect and eat Dongqing food made by the Dongqing people. They know what they are like. There is still life here, so it is not a completely destroyed country.
Lan Rong was also very happy for the prince.
If the prince saw that his people were still here, he would be more determined to rebuild Dongqing.
They were not forced to survive in such a ruin simply because they could no longer stay in Zhao State, but they returned.
For the prince, it is like returning to his homeland.
"I heard that all the previous city lords of Dark City were very powerful," Fu Jinchen said, "The position of city lord is also hereditary. Children who are chosen as the successor to the city lord will read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles to learn more about things, broaden their horizons, and gain more knowledge."
Shen Qiao was also somewhat fascinated by what she was listening to.
"So, the management and planning of Dark City, as well as the mechanisms, secret passages, and various measures and constructions to deal with natural and man-made disasters, are the most powerful except for the Dongqing Imperial Capital."
Lan Rong didn't expect Fu Jinchen to know so much, and couldn't help asking, "Master Fu, as far as you know, is there any food grown in this dark city?"
"As I said earlier, they have measures and facilities to deal with natural and man-made disasters, so they must have prepared food and water. I just don't know whether the storage is large or they can grow crops. If it's the former, then they may not be able to eat until now."
Fu Jinchen couldn't guarantee it now, "But if it's the latter, then it's very likely that the people in Dark City are still alive."
"The Dark City is extremely large, and there should be large tracts of land outside the city. Even if the city is sealed and the roads are blocked, they can't get out. But as long as there is land and seeds inside, they can plant." Lan Rong said.
"I hope so."
Chen Qiao felt a little strange, "If they all survived and continued, and the previous villages did the same, why didn't they think about leaving Dongqing and going to Dahe or Zhaoguo?"
They all stayed where they were, so for all these years, no one knew that there were actually people in Dongqing.
Lan Rong said, "This is not surprising. Those villages are already close to the imperial capital, which means they are very far from Dahe and Zhaoguo. Along the way, the roads in many places are completely cut off or blocked."
"We searched for a long time and tried every possible way to get in here. We even dug a tunnel. It was very difficult for the people to find a way out in such a place where there was almost no road."
Lan Rong said, "I asked them, and they even thought that it was not only Dongqing that suffered such a disaster. They thought that places like Dahe and Zhaoguo were also the same. So, even if they could get out, there would be no better. The unknown would scare them, and they didn't want to leave Dongqing."
So, they just stayed in Dongqing, in their hometown.
Over such a long period of time, not many people came to Dongqing. Many people even forgot where Dongqing was, after all, the terrain had changed.
“I really didn’t expect that.”
“Snack.”
There was a loud noise coming from the wooden wheel over there.
"They've pushed the wooden wheel. Look."
They all looked over there.
The extremely heavy wooden wheel began to turn, and faster and faster. It was very difficult at first, but after turning it for a while, the oil seeped into it and it became easier to turn.
As the wooden wheel turned, they felt that the ground they were standing on seemed to be vibrating, which was a shocking feeling.
