The process of fighting the monster went smoothly, except that the green shirt on his body was stained.

When Ying Xianhui saw Shen Ning walking out of the demon shop, she let go of her worries. Seeing that he was covered in dust and looking a little embarrassed, she took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him, and then pulled Shen Ning to wipe it for him. Choose some appropriate clothing.

Shen Ning had no reason to refuse and got into the carriage with her.

"Mr. Shen, the imperial sister is so kind to you." The carriage was driving slowly, Ying Dang's eyes were full of envy, "I have grown so old, and the imperial sister has not even brought me clothes."

Ying Xianhui felt ashamed and angry at Ying Dang's words. She poked his forehead and said softly: "Isn't the Department of Shang Yi doing enough for you every year?"

"I don't care, the emperor has to choose a suitable outfit for me today." Ying Dang hugged Ying Xianhui, and he acted coquettishly because of his childlike nature.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you." Ying Xianhui said dotingly.

Looking at the past dynasties, few children of the Tian family have such a harmonious relationship as theirs. Shen Ning smiled and opened the curtains. The carriage had already entered the Shenjing City. People outside were bustling with people wearing coarse linen and linen clothes. The two idle men were busy, the snack street on the street exuded an alluring fragrance, and the cries of hawkers kept coming and going. Occasionally, a few patrol officers could be seen among the crowd patrolling the street. The people were not afraid when they saw them, but on the contrary They greeted each other with a smile. These people were all natives of Shenjing City, and they did not do anything to bully the people.

If it weren't for the white silk ribbons hanging in front of some people's houses, no one might have thought that this city had experienced an unimaginable disaster not long ago.

As the imperial city of the Jin Dynasty, Shenjing City became the economic renaissance of Jingxi Road. Every year, many traders from north to south sell goods here, keeping this ancient city prosperous and prosperous.

The expensive and exquisite Shu brocade, the Yun brocade, which is famous throughout the world, and the silk and satin that once flowed overseas and were very popular are hard to find in other places, but they can be found everywhere in Shenjing City. The carriage stopped at A street named Yishang Street.

In this street, you can see many princes, grandsons and ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes, who are rich but not luxurious.

Yishang Street is a relatively famous street in Shenjing City. Silks and satins shipped from all over the country are made into ready-made clothes and sold here. Its status is second only to Flower Street, which sells tens of thousands of gold in one night.

Shen Ning and the others got off the carriage and walked into a clothing store. When the waiter saw that they were dressed in gorgeous clothes, he knew that they were not ordinary people. He immediately showed his signature smile and came over to greet them: "Dear guests, come and take a look. These are the ones that have been shipped recently. The fine silk is soft and as thin as gauze. It can be said to be fine fine satin.”

"It takes too much time to make it again with satin. I would like to ask the second brother if there are ready-made clothes in the store?"

Although Ying Xianhui is a princess, she is not aloof from the world. On the contrary, she often goes to the Clothing Street with her close friends to select silks and satins and brings them back to the palace to sew them by hand. Her craftsmanship is exquisite. The blue and white skirt she is wearing now is made by herself. It's beautifully made and looks like it was made by a famous artist.

Hearing that they were not here to choose silk and satin, the waiter in the shop replied with a smile: "Sir, you have come to the right place. Our ready-made clothes are sewn by Aunt Gongsun, and they are kept to your satisfaction. I just don't know who the guest is." What to wear?"

"My brother and..." When Ying Xianhui looked at Shen Ning, a hint of shyness inadvertently showed in her eyes, but she hid it well, "With my cousin."

Hearing this, the waiter looked Shen Ning up and down, and saw that he had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his figure was like a slender willow tree. He looked like a handsome young man in a world. He couldn't help but secretly praised Shen Ning in his heart: "I used to hear what others said about Long Zhang." His style seems to be nothing more than that now."

When Ying Xianhui asked again if there were any ready-made clothes in the store, the waiter came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, a few guests will be waiting later."

As he spoke, the waiter in the shop took down some pieces of ready-made clothes that were unfolded and hung with wood. It must be said that the century-old store still has its own heritage. I saw that these pieces of ready-made clothes were exquisitely made, cool and soft, and they were all first-class. One of the best Yunjin.

"Brother Ning, why don't you try them all?" Ying Xianhui looked at these pieces of clothing and couldn't tell which one was more suitable for Shen Ning.

Shen Ning didn't have high requirements for clothes. He picked up a piece of ready-made clothes and went to the changing room to change. When he walked out, everyone was stunned and couldn't help but smile and asked: "What's wrong?"

I saw him wearing a black brocade robe with cloud sleeves, with a light blooming peony pattern embroidered on the cuffs with white silk thread, a belt cinching his waist, and black boots. Not only did he look clean and neat, but it also highlighted his calm temperament. That faint smile highlighted a bit of the unique youthful vigor. The mixture of various temperaments actually captivated Ying Xianhui's eyes.

Just when everyone was stunned, a distant girl who looked like an orchid in an empty valley rang in the store, "This young master is really very handsome. I don't know what kind of beauty can be worthy of him. Are you right?" Hui?"

Ying Xianhui heard a woman's voice, and there was some offense in the words. She was troubled, and suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar, so she looked back and couldn't help but feel happy, "Yao Yao? What's wrong with you? Here?"

"It's bitterly cold in the north, so I came here to pick out some silk and satin. I want to make them into ready-made clothes. I sent someone to send them to Brother Ji." The woman was wearing a green smoked sweater, a mist-green grass skirt with flowers, her shoulders were cut into waists, and her face was It is clear and beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, giving people a sense of elegance and elegance.

Ying Xianhui happily introduced to Shen Ning: "Brother Ning, this is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion - Xie Yao."

Shen Ning nodded, knowing that the woman who could make friends with Ying Xianhui must be either rich or noble in family life, but the waiter who was listening on the side was stunned, the daughter of the prime minister? What kind of noble status do these people have, in terms of words and deeds? I couldn't help but become cautious.

Just pick one at random according to Shen Ning's wishes. Ying Xianhui didn't want to be so hasty and asked Shen Ning to try a few more items.

Then I was surprised to find that everything Shen Ning wore looked very good, so I bought all the ready-made clothes I tried on.

A few pieces of clothing actually cost nearly a thousand taels each.

Shen Ning couldn't help but sigh in her heart. General Gu Yan was risking his life to deal with monsters in various places with his head tucked into his waistband. He wanted to get some money to rebuild the sect, but it was not as fast as the vendors selling a few pieces of ready-made clothes.

After choosing ready-made clothes for Shen Ning and Ying Dang, Ying Xianhui and Xie Yao walked through the streets and alleys to choose silk and satin. The two women who had a close personal relationship walked in front and talked quietly.

"Brother Huang will definitely be very happy if he knows that you sewed clothes for him with your own hands,"

"He is the brother Ning you often mention, right? Why not make some ready-made clothes for him with your own hands?"

"Actually...I've done everything."

"Then why do you still come to buy it?"

"Oh, the meaning of doing it with your own hands is different. I will give it to him when he asks his father to marry him."

Xie Yao smiled. As a woman, she could naturally understand Ying Xianhui's complicated thoughts.

As he walked through the streets of Yishang Street, Yingdang couldn't help but grimace. As a practitioner, he already felt his legs were a little sore. He didn't know why Sister Huang and the others were still in high spirits, so he asked Shen Ning said: "Master, why don't we two find a place to sit for a while."

In addition to large and small ready-made clothing shops, there are also many restaurants and tea shops in Yishang Street. Shen Ning thought about it and nodded in agreement. After letting Ying Dang greet Ying Xianhui, the two of them walked into a tea shop. Rest your feet.

The tea shop was full of guests. Shen Ning and Ying Dang went to the tea table on the second floor and asked for a pot of fragrant tea. In the empty courtyard in the middle of the tea shop, there was an old gentleman giving a storytelling talk. The guests in the tea shop cheered loudly.

"Then Yelv Zhengbo led a group of soldiers and chased him from the water to the road. It was a hot pursuit and he had to kill Marshal Gao here! At the critical moment, Marshal Gao escaped to a small road, and Yelv Zhengbo hurriedly When I caught up with him, I saw a general appearing on the road ahead."

"What a majestic general."

"Black armor and black battle robe, black tiger-head combat boots on his feet, a Lishan Xuanhua ax in his hand, and a white forehead and eye-catching tiger on his crotch. He has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and is majestic!"

"The five hundred sword-wielding lieutenants behind the general are all brave and fierce men. Each of them carries a broadsword. The sword is seven feet long, the blade is two and a half feet, and the shaft is three feet and one. The broadsword has a broad and thick back, and a thin and sharp blade. , the cold light is shining and cold, and there is an intimidating momentum from a few feet away. Each person carries a pear flower bow on his back, and the quiver is filled with carved feather arrows. One by one, they are like dragons coming out of the sea, shocking the world. "

"That general is General Chen Qingzhi!"

"Yelu Zhengbo was immediately shocked. How could Chen Qingzhi appear here?"

"The more important question is, who of my men can defeat Chen Qingzhi, and who will be the opponent of his five hundred soldiers!"

"I can't help but feel fear, but the opportunity to kill the opponent's marshal is right in front of me, and I don't want to leave easily. This fight between dragons and tigers is about to break out!"

This is a true history.

It happened decades ago.

When the late emperor died, the ambitious Bei Mang took the opportunity to go south to invade. Emperor Jing, who had just ascended the throne, defied all opinions and sent his army north. The then generalissimo of the armed forces was Gao Shiqi, the minister of the Ministry of War. He used himself as a bait to deceive Bei Mang. Mang General Yelu Zhengbo went out of the city to pursue him. After many life and death attempts, he finally deceived Yelv Zhengbo into an ambush. He decided the world in one battle and conquered thirty-two lost cities in a row, becoming a legend of his generation.

The old storyteller told this story in a very passionate tone. Of course, it was somewhat artistically manipulated. The strange thing is that the old man's storytelling did not focus on Gao Shiqi's cleverness and strategizing, but instead focused on his subordinates. How the general Chen Qingzhi bravely defeated the three armies and was invincible may be because he felt that personal heroism can more resonate with the emotions of the tea shop guests.

Ying Dang has a different view on this, "Gao Shilang often makes dangerous moves in battles, and is always able to obtain extremely high returns at the lowest cost in adversity. It is not an exaggeration to call me the Optimus Prime of the Jin Dynasty." , It’s a pity that the family tradition is not strict, and there are often bad comments circulating in Shenjing City. Naturally, the old storytelling gentleman will not talk about how capable he is, which is why he has not been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War despite being an official for many years.”

Shen Ning was a little curious. "The family tradition is not strict?"

"In fact, Gao Shilang himself is quite honest." Ying Dang whispered: "When Gao Shilang was not yet appointed as the Minister of War, he passed through Changyi on his way to be appointed as the prefect of Donglai. Wang Mi, the magistrate of Changyi County, was Gao Shilang and was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou. I was promoted at that time, and I heard that Gao Shilang was passing by the local area. In order to repay the kindness of knowing him, I specially prepared 10 kilograms of gold and sent it to Gao Shiqi's residence in the dead of night when everyone was quiet."

"Unexpectedly, Gao Shilang not only refused to accept it, but also severely reprimanded Wang Mi. Wang Mi argued: "No one will know about it in the middle of the night, and it will not affect the teacher's character." Gao Shilang said: "God knows, God knows, I know, you know, how can you say no one knows?”

"For this reason, many people in the court praised Gao Shilang for his integrity and dedication to the public affairs, and he was called "Mr. Four Knowledges." When Ying Dang said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity, the people of his clan used his power to forcefully buy in Xinzheng. The farmland actually amounts to tens of thousands of acres, and it’s unknown how many families have been destroyed.”

"What happened next?" Shen Ning frowned slightly. Tens of thousands of acres was not a small amount. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, it was not an exaggeration to copy his nine clans.

Ying Qin took a sip of tea, held his face with his hands, and said: "Later, when my father learned about this incident, he was very angry. He originally wanted to punish Gao Shilang severely, but because he had done a good job in resisting Beimang, plus this incident He had never intervened, and considering the balance of forces between the DPRK and China, he let him go and took back the embezzled land. However, the future lives of his descendants will be monitored by the Qingyi Division to prevent them from getting rich again. Private pocket situation.”

"But in my opinion, it is impossible for Gao Shilang not to know about it. People in his clan are using his name to exercise authority. No matter what, the news will reach his ears. Maybe he acquiesced. If the matter was not about to be exposed, he would definitely not have knelt outside the palace all day and night to beg his father for forgiveness."

Shen Ning smiled. Although Ying Dang finished the matter in a few words, in fact, the facts hidden behind it may only be known to the parties involved.

Even if Gao Shiqi really didn't know about such serious corruption, it was already a gift for him to dismiss from office and return to his hometown. It is simply unbelievable that he can still serve as Minister of War.

"Then do you know who exposed him?"

Ying Dang shook his head, "Who knows? I heard that it was the officials from Xinzheng who gave it to me. I went to my father's Yangxin Palace to take a peek, but I didn't find it."

"Speaking of it, the reputation of Minister Gao's lineage is pretty good in Shenjing City." Ying Dang stretched and yawned: "Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have allowed the eldest son of the Gao family to attend the hairpin ceremony of the imperial sister. .”

Shen Ning knew that Gao Gong, whom he met at the ceremony, was Gao's eldest son. Since the matter was over, he didn't think about it too much.

Shen Ning was not very interested in North Korea-China affairs, so after Yingdang finished speaking, he did not start a new topic and listened intently to the old gentleman's storytelling.

Unexpectedly, when the old man was talking about the most exciting melee, he was stunned and full of momentum.
