Near the outskirts of the capital, small vendors can be seen everywhere, and temporary tea sheds on the roadside can be seen everywhere. Some men from the rivers and lakes with swords hanging around their waists are grouped in groups, shouting in the teahouse carelessly, and the dirt on the road outside is dusty.
Flying, the crowds are endless.
Near the feet of the emperor, the outskirts of the capital are always extremely lively, and they are very popular no matter day and night. This kind of traffic is unmatched by Dahuang County.
It was dusk now, and the city gate of the capital was closed early, leaving only two big red lanterns on the city gate swaying gently in the wind.
"Cao, the city gate is closed, and it will take only one night to stay outside..." The merchants who had just arrived at the downstairs of the city gate couldn't help but curse when they saw the tall and closed city gate.
Not far from outside the capital, there are also some good inns, but the inns are very bad at asking prices, and only some large caravans can afford it.
As long as the weather is not too bad, ordinary people can find a place to stay under the city gate tower for one night.
"Go!Go!" Two clear shouts came from afar, and people couldn't help but look at each other.
Some of the gangsters immediately started to talk about it with gloating.
"Look, two more unlucky guys are coming..."
"Hey, these two people are probably going to sleep in the corner all night..."
The two of them pulled the reins in front of the city gate, and then one of them shouted: "Open the city gate!"
A soldier on the city gate tower shouted impatiently: "What are you yelling? Don't you know that the city gate will not open after six o'clock?"
The tourists watching the fun on the side suddenly laughed out loud. These two young men actually wanted to open the city gate. You should know that the national laws and military regulations of the Haoyue Empire were very strict, and the guardianship of the Nine Gate was the top priority. Once the city was
The door is closed and it will not open until six o'clock the next morning.
"Last time, His Royal Highness went out of the city to hunt, but he came back late. He tried to persuade the city guard to force him to open the city gate. Haha, guess what happened later?" The tourists from outside also casually told him while watching the show.
stand up.
As soon as the man spoke, everyone else came over and asked curiously: "What happened later? The prince is the future emperor. He must have opened the city gate and removed the city guardian..."
The man who spoke before curled his lips and said, "Mao! As a result, the prince spent the whole night in the inn outside. The city guardian was not only fine, but also received praise from His Majesty the Emperor and was promoted to another level..."
The surroundings were suddenly in an uproar. This was the first time that many people came to the capital, and they were a little disbelief when they heard this.
"Don't believe it, I saw it with my own eyes that time. Let's watch this time. If these two young men continue to shout like this, they will anger the general above, but they will be in trouble and leave...
”
People's eyes immediately gathered at the two of them on the horse.
"Call your team leader here!" Sima Tengyun said lightly when scolded by the soldier.
Seeing that Sima Tengyun was extremely arrogant, the soldier was unwilling to offend him, so he left an angry sentence: "Wait for me..."
After a while, a middle-aged man in general's armor lay down and looked down, his face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "It turned out to be you, Mr. Sima. When did you come back?"
Sima Tengyun pointed at Tang Fei and said, "Just arrived at the city gate, this is a guest invited by my teacher. Open the city gate and let us in!"
The middle-aged general immediately responded: "Okay, please wait for two!"
Then he turned around and waved, "Hurry, open the city gate!"
The two soldiers behind the middle-aged man said hesitantly: "General, it is contrary to the national law to open the city gate now..."
"I will take care of something happening, you guys go!" the general waved his hand and said impatiently.
The soldiers did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ran away.
"Squeaky..." The city gate suddenly opened, making a sound of old teeth. The middle-aged general came out to greet him in person and said with a smile: "Mr. Sima, this friend, please come in!"
Some people outside also wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in, but the two teams looked like torches, and the soldiers holding steel knives formed a line of defense and stopped the people.
"Why can't they get in?"
"You are discriminating, I want to sue the emperor!"
...
Watching Sima Tengyun and the others enter the city, the middle-aged general looked outside with a cold look and said, "Discrimination? I tell you, if one day you can become Master Lu's guests, I will also open it alone for you.
City gate. Okay, close the city gate."
"Master Lu?"
Everyone here knows Lu Feng's name, but people have not thought about Lu Feng that no one would believe that Lu Feng would invite a young boy to be a guest.
A group of people who watched the show were stunned. Didn’t the prince not have to enter? Why did two people go in in the blink of an eye?
Some questioning eyes immediately looked at the man who was talking loudly before. The man looked confused and muttered to himself: "Damn, this is unreasonable..."
...
The capital was still bustling and bustling at dusk. Sima Tengyun apologized on the side: "I'm sorry, Master Tang, I asked you to wait outside for so long..."
Tang Fei smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay."
Then his eyes looked at everything in the capital in a novel way.
The spacious street is completely paved with bluestone, and the road is lined with various private shops, with shouts and juggling gongs on both sides.
This made Tang Fei, who had lived in a quiet town since childhood, feel excited: "There are so many people in the market every year..."
Seeing Tang Fei looking around and looking around, a novel look on his face, Sima Tengyun suddenly showed a laugh and crying expression on his face. He forgot that the master in front of him was only in his teens. He didn't know that his teacher saw such a young master
, how surprised would you be.
The two of them rode their horses in the crowded crowds, and Sima Tengyun was not in a hurry to rush to the road. Instead, they were quite interested in introducing some of the scenic spots of the capital to Tang Fei. Occasionally, they passed by more famous shops and introduced them to them.
sentence.
They walked slowly like this, and when the sky gradually faded, they arrived at their destination, a very quiet courtyard.
"Mr. Sima is back." Several servants guarding the gate of the yard quickly came up and held the reins of the two horses.
"Well, you go and prepare a room for Master Tang, and let the kitchen cook some food to send to Master Tang tonight." Sima Tengyun turned over and ordered.
The servants couldn't help but look at Tang Fei more, and when they noticed the latter's young face, they all looked surprised on their faces, but they didn't say anything. They responded and hurried to go there.
"Master Tang, please come here!" Sima Tengyun led Tang Fei to the yard.
Tang Fei nodded slightly, looked up casually, and noticed that there were several golden words written on the gate of the yard: "The Palace of the Xianxian."
