Chapter 165 Absolutely Trustworthy

Chapter 165 Absolutely Trustworthy
Not long.

They reached their destination.

Looking through the car window at the towering Meridian Gate Tower in front of him, Xu Feng couldn't help but feel excited.

That's right!
Their destination is the center of the capital, the royal palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which was built in 1406 by Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty based on the Jinling Palace. It took 14 years to build the center of imperial power: the Forbidden City!
On the dragon vein feng shui map, the end point of that big dragon vein is the Forbidden City.

Later, Xu Feng thought about it and felt that this result was not surprising.

The Forbidden City was the center of political power for two dynasties.

Witnessed the rise and fall of two dynasties.

The reason why Zhu Di chose to move the imperial city to the capital was probably because of this dragon vein!

The Forbidden City is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

It is also a national 5A-level tourist attraction.

A large number of tourists come to visit every day. In order to limit the flow of people, the Forbidden City officials finally had to implement a limited flow of visitors, limiting the number of visitors received to 80,000 per day.

But just yesterday.

All tourists who have booked tickets for today have received a text message saying that the Forbidden City will stop receiving tourists today due to special reasons. All tourists who have booked tickets can choose to refund.

If you do not want to refund the ticket, you can rebook the ticket for the next few days.

So when Xu Feng and his companions arrived at the Meridian Gate, the gate, which used to be crowded with tourists, was now empty except for the guards.

Even the vehicle Xu Feng was riding in drove directly into the Forbidden City without any hindrance.

"Isn't it said that vehicles are prohibited from passing through the Forbidden City? Isn't it inappropriate for us to do this?!"

"If we don't drive in, what will happen to the stuff in the truck in the back? Are you going to move it in?"

"Well... it's better to drive."

Xu Feng quickly looked outside the car.

This was his first time to visit the Forbidden City by car, and the experience was very different.

along the way.

Apart from some armed soldiers guarding the place, no one else was seen.

"Why are there so many soldiers here?" "It doesn't need such a big scene, right?!" Xu Feng said curiously.

Zhang Rishan glanced at him and said calmly, "It's better to be prepared."

Xu Feng turned his head and looked at him strangely.

He always felt that Zhang Rishan's words had other meanings.

soon.

They parked the car in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

There are already many people waiting here.

Most of them were soldiers in uniform, including several elderly men with particularly high ranks, which made Xu Feng frightened.

The remaining people were probably staff members of the Forbidden City, and there were also several people carrying cameras.

After getting off the car.

Zhang Rishan walked towards those elderly soldiers.

After a round of greetings.

Zhang Rishan turned around and pointed at Xu Feng and said, "He is Xu Feng."

Xu Feng suppressed his inner anxiety and excitement and walked forward.

The old soldiers stretched out their hands and shook hands with Xu Feng with a smile.

"Good job, young man!"

"Young man, you have made such a great contribution to the country, and the country will remember it."

"Our country will develop better and better because of young people like you!"

Several veteran soldiers praised Xu Feng so much that he almost felt proud of himself.

"Thank you for your affirmation. I will work harder in the future."

Xu Feng said loudly with a righteous look on his face.

then.

The tarpaulins of the three large military trucks were lifted, revealing the contents inside. They were bronze sculptures that were over three meters tall and weighed tens of thousands of pounds.

These bronze sculptures are all carved animals.

They are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig.

There are twelve in total, and each one is carved to look lifelike.

"discharge!"

A middle-aged soldier gave an order.

The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed forward and used ropes and various tools to unload the bronze sculptures from the truck.

The men carrying cameras immediately pointed their lenses at the bronze sculptures.

The old soldiers and other staff also walked up to the bronze sculpture.

Seeing him like this, the old soldier immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone who can appear here today is absolutely trustworthy, and they will never betray the country."

Xu Feng still hesitated, then said: "Yes, it is them."

The old soldier asked, "Didn't they say it was only the bronze head?"

Xu Feng: "In order to prevent others from replacing them, I asked someone to recast these bronze sculptures weighing 10,000 kilograms. Their bellies are hollow, and the bronze heads of the twelve zodiac animals are placed in their bellies. Although this cannot guarantee that they will not be stolen 100%, it can at least play a role in preventing theft."

The old soldier waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as they have the effect you said, they will be monitored 24 hours a day and protected by all-round surveillance. No one will ever steal them again."

"But, if you do this, will it affect their effects?"

Xu Feng shook his head: "You can rest assured about this, it won't have any impact."

"it is good!"

The old soldier waved his hand and said, "Then let's get started!"

The soldiers present today should have been carefully selected. Each of them is an extremely strong man. They did not use any tools, only relied on manpower, and it was possible for five or six people to move the bronze sculpture weighing tens of thousands of pounds off the vehicle.

In terms of strength alone, they are actually on par with Xu Feng.

This made Xu Feng a little shocked.

really.

The best people are in the national team!

After all the bronze sculptures were unloaded on the ground, the military truck drove away.

The old soldiers walked around the bronze sculpture, and then someone asked, "What do we do now?!"

Xu Feng was from Jiangcheng in his previous life.

There was no chance to go to Kyoto, let alone visit the Forbidden City.

So after traveling through time, the first thing he did was to tour the entire capital, including the Forbidden City.

Plus his special profession.

I have a relatively clear understanding of the environment and palaces in the Forbidden City.

"In the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Xu Feng said something.

The old soldier immediately waved his hand and said, "Go!"

The soldiers immediately moved the bronze sculpture in an orderly manner and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, commonly known as the Golden Throne Hall, has a double-eaved hipped roof. It is the highest-level palace and the largest palace in the Forbidden City.

The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held court meetings in this hall.

The base of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is made of three layers of white marble, more than eight meters high, and has a total of 39 steps.

In other words, they could not put down the bronze sculptures to rest while carrying them up the stairs.

Originally Xu Feng was a little worried about how to move these bronze sculptures up there.

As a result, he found that he had underestimated the soldiers again.

They actually moved the bronze sculpture to the main entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in one breath and put it down. Although everyone's veins were throbbing, their faces were flushed and sweat was pouring down, their expressions did not change at all.

"Damn it, I feel like these soldiers are scarier than the giant dumplings in the tomb."

Xu Feng thought with lingering fear.
