Chapter 23 Return to the Central Capital

The setting sun was shining slantingly, and it was already evening. Outside Zhongdu City, pedestrians were hurrying on the official road. In autumn, it was getting dark earlier and earlier. Seeing that the city gate was about to close, people accelerated their pace and left the city.

, there is an endless stream of people entering the city. Although the road outside the city gate is wide, there are too many pedestrians, making it very crowded. Under the reflection of the setting sun, long figures are mixed in the crowd, making the already somewhat chaotic

The scene became even more chaotic.

In the distance, two people and a horse came up the official road. One of them led the horse on foot, and the other sat on the horse's back. Although the sun was about to set, it was still a little bright, and the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly.

The people and horses were very fast, and they seemed to be in a hurry to enter the city. Although the people leaving the city were also in a hurry to go home, seeing this situation, they still leaned to both sides of the road and let the middle part out. In their thoughts, they could have

Those who travel on horseback are all powerful people, and at worst they are wealthy people. Ordinary people cannot mess with them.

In the blink of an eye, the pedestrians were approaching, and only then did people realize that the person leading the horse was a handsome young man wearing a navy blue gown, and sitting immediately on the horse was an extremely handsome and beautiful girl. Just in the wrong place.

But when the time came, the young man raised his right hand holding the reins, put his left hand on it, and saluted to the left and right: "Thank you, fellow villagers!" As he spoke, his feet did not stop, and his steps were like flowing water.

It's Li Yun, Zhaixing and others have arrived outside Zhongdu City.

After the two people left Cuiping Village, they walked eastward along the road. The two people who had never left home were like fledglings that had just learned to fly. They were extremely excited and were so new to everything. They saw each other for the first time.

The farmer working in the fields met the fishermen casting nets for fishing for the first time, saw the town for the first time, and knew what restaurants, inns and markets were for the first time. The two of them walked so slowly along the way that they...

I missed Sutou several times and had to spend the night in the wild.

As time goes by, the novelty gradually fades away, followed by longing for home and a trace of fear of the unknown future. Even if Li Yun has achieved martial arts, he cannot erase this feeling. Let alone reaching for the stars.

Whenever he encounters a crowd of people, he will hold on to Li Yun tightly. I am afraid that anyone who leaves a familiar environment for the first time will feel this way, let alone two teenagers who are only fifteen or sixteen years old.

It's a child.

Linhai City is originally located in the far east of the mortal world, and Zhongdu City is the only way to go. After leaving Zhongdu, continue three thousand miles east, which is the border between Yan and Chen. After passing the border, you have to walk nearly

It took more than 7,000 miles to arrive at Linhai City, which is already on the coast of the sea. With Li Yun's foot power, it would take at most ten days to reach Linhai City, but firstly, he has Zhaixing to follow him, and secondly, he also wants to experience this place.

The world seemed colorful to him. So after discussion, he decided to settle down in Zhongdu City and live there for a while.

The two of them walked and stopped for nearly half a month and finally arrived at the gate of Zhongdu City. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and the city gate was about to close, the two of them didn't want to sleep in the countryside again, so they couldn't help but hurry up.

Looking at the tall city walls, the wide city gates, and the weaving flow of people in front of him, Li Yun couldn't help but sigh, "It is indeed the largest city in the Yan Kingdom. It looks so grand from the outside." Li Yun led the horse in front of him.

Okay, come to the city gate and help Zhai Xing off his horse. The soldiers guarding the gate are all veterans with sharp eyes. When they saw that the two of them were well-dressed and distinguished, they knew they were not ordinary people. One of them hurriedly came up

The front man said: "You two gentlemen, is this your first time in Zhongdu? I wonder if there is a place to stay. If not, may I recommend one or two."

Li Yun heard this and asked curiously: "How do you know that we have never been to Zhongdu?"

The soldier smiled and said: "First, the two of them came on horseback, with bows and arrows hanging on the horses. However, there was no prey in their hands, and there were no generals accompanying them. It can be seen that the two of you are not young ladies in the city returning from a hunting trip. Second, two

When you looked around just now, you clearly looked like you had just arrived."

Li Yun smiled and asked: "Couldn't it be that we sneaked out of the house to go hunting and didn't catch any prey? When we came back, we looked around for fear of meeting someone who was looking for us at home?"

The soldier still smiled and said: "Your pot is full of arrows." Then he pointed to the road directly opposite the city gate, "If you two want to stay in a hotel, you can follow this road and turn right at the end, and walk about a mile.

There is a Piaoxiang Restaurant. There is a restaurant on the street and an inn in the backyard. The food is delicious, the price is reasonable, the rooms are clean, and there is hot water for bathing. You can go there with confidence. "

Li Yun sighed in his heart: "Hey! It's true that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. It's really not easy to lie. I really learned a lesson!" After thinking about it, he bowed his hand and took out a piece of silver weighing about two taels and put it in.

The soldier held it in his hand and said, "I admire you. Your Excellency is really sharp-eyed. Thank you for your guidance."

Yesterday, when I was eating in a restaurant, I saw someone tipping the waiter. Li Yun then came to learn and sell now.

Watching the two of them ride away, another soldier came forward and said: "Brother Zhang, these two are obviously foreigners. Why don't you take a closer look and get more silver coins, maybe you can still occupy them?"

These are cheap, and such a handsome girl is even prettier than the fairy in the painting." As he said this, his face showed lust, and there was actually saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang San slapped him over with one slap. At that time, the soldier was spinning around in circles. "You are just trying to kill yourself. That girl is covered in wind and frost, but there is a trace of dust in that young man."

, he is obviously a master." He spat again: "Bah, hurry up and close the city gate! Get out of here after you finish your work, I'm so fucking disgusted just by looking at that **** face of yours."

Following Zhang San's guidance, Li Yun quickly found the Piaoxiang Building. This building is three stories high. The lights were already on at this time. From outside the door, you can see that the interior is spacious and bright. When it is time to eat, people are constantly coming.

When diners entered this place, the building was gradually filling up, and bursts of noise could be heard, making it very lively and prosperous.

The waiter who greeted guests at the door was very discerning. When he saw the two of them parked in front of the building, he hurriedly stepped forward and bent down. With a smile on his lips, he said: "You two ladies, I don't know whether you want to have a meal or stay in a hotel."

Li Yun asked: "Are there any good guest rooms?"

The waiter looked embarrassed and said: "The upper room is already full, please forgive me, sir, but... there is still an empty private courtyard, but the price is more expensive, I wonder, sir...?"

Li Yun nodded and said: "Then this is the private courtyard! Take the horses away and feed them, and you and I will find a private room for dinner." As he said that, a piece of silver was thrown out. What Li Yun saw and heard after half a month,

At this time, there was already a hint of style. Besides, He Chaolu prepared a generous amount of money for them, so he was confident when spending money.

The waiter took the coin and smiled happily, "Thank you for the reward, young master!" After saying that, he quickly ordered the horse to be led to the stable to be fed. He bent his belt in front of him and led the two of them to a window seat on the third floor.

In the meantime, he called the waiter to come and listen to Hou's instructions, and then bowed and left.

After sitting down, Li Yun ordered: "Prepare four of your specialty dishes and a bottle of wine."

The waiter left in response and came back soon with a teapot. After pouring it for the two of them, he asked: "Although it is a bit cool in the autumn evening, there is still some scenery on the street. I wonder if you would like to open the window to watch?"

Seeing Li Yun nodding, the waiter went over and pushed open the window. As soon as he opened the window, a green shadow flashed past his eyes, startling the waiter. When he turned around, he saw a beautiful bird standing there.

On the shoulders of a young lady. Although the waiter was surprised, he had read a lot of people and knew that talking too much would make people irritated. So he said: "Today is full of diners. The food may be served a little slower. If you don't take good care of it, please ask for two more."

Please forgive me."

Li Yun couldn't help but nodded and praised secretly, "The capital city is indeed extraordinary. Even this guy is outstanding. He has gained a lot today!"

"It doesn't matter, I'll just take care of you." After saying this, another piece of silver was thrown out.

After the waiter left, Li Yun said to Zhaixing: "Although I have lived in Zhongdu for six years, I have never left home, but this is the first time I have seen Zhaixing in this city. I wonder if you still remember your childhood.

What does Zhongdu look like?”

Zhaixing replied: "Since I can remember, I have been imprisoned by human traffickers. Until my mother bought me out, I have been with the young master. How could I know what this city is like?"

Li Yundao: "Let's live here for a while and have a good feel for the style of this capital city. In addition, I once heard Uncle Cheng say that there are many gangsters and other idle people in the town. The three religions, nine streams and many Jianghu sects are also a mixed bag.

There are too many to mention. The bigger the town, the more so. Now, Mom is asking us to find treasures on our own and hit the fairy tale. Isn’t it harder than finding a needle in a haystack? We don’t even have a clue where to start. I think it’s better to conquer some idle people.

People, wouldn’t it be better to let them help search for it.”

Zhaixing's little face was full of questions: "How could they listen to us? Besides, even if they find it, they will take the treasure and run away."

Li Yun chuckled and whispered to Zhaixing, "Hey, this is what I learned from Daniel back then. Although the usage is different, the effect is to make the other party fall under his control."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, but it was the waiter who had delivered the wine and food. The food here was indeed very delicious. The two of them were sipping wine and enjoying the food while watching the scenery outside the window.

The street outside is wide and long, with various shops lined on both sides, and each house is brightly lit. Lanterns with their own signboards are hung high in front of each house, making the whole street extremely bright. As dinner time has passed,

After that, there were more pedestrians on the street. Looking at the people walking together, showing excitement, chatting and laughing, it seemed like the day had just begun. Li Yun thought, "If we were in Cuiping Village, I'm afraid not everyone would be there."

Go to sleep!"

After drinking and eating, the two of them followed the waiter to the inn behind Piaoxiang Building. This inn actually occupies a very large area. After entering, they walked into six courtyards. Every time they entered the courtyard, there were buildings on the north and south sides.

The two-story guest room has an east-west corridor in the middle. The layout of the courtyard changed until the sixth entry. The entire courtyard was divided into four small courtyards. Li Yun and the others lived in the first courtyard on the south side.

Walking into it, I found that it was very elegant and quiet. In addition to the neatly trimmed flowers, plants and trees, there were two bedrooms in the front. Li Yun and Zhaixing felt as if they were not in a busy city, but suddenly back.

When I got home, I felt extremely satisfied.

After instructing the waiter to prepare hot water, the two entered the house. Zhaixing said happily: "Master, this place looks like our home!"

"Well, I feel friendly when I look at it. We will live here during this period!"

After washing away the dust, Zhaixing felt tired, so they turned off the lights and fell asleep. Zhaixing felt like he was a child again, snuggling into Li Yun's arms. Zhaixing felt the changes in Li Yun's body at night, and whispered with a blushing face.

: "Master, mother won't let us consummate our marriage..."
