The generals of the Daiyu Dynasty did not have the first rank, but started from the first rank.
General Zhongwu is of the fourth rank and is considered to be in the middle position in the entire army. Moreover, now that he has made great achievements in battle, his influence will naturally be greater.
A large group of people passed through the street, and gongs were played in front of them to clear the way, attracting everyone's attention.
After several years of fighting, the frontier army finally returned victorious.
Chen Ping looked at the tall and burly figures, like horses riding in the rivers and lakes, majestic and heroic, and he couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart.
"This is what a man should do!"
Cheng Cheng was also lying at the window looking out, with a look of envy on his face.
Chen Ping looked at the generals walking at the front and couldn't help but ask: "Will Senior Brother Li Feng be inside?"
"The emperor ordered to summon generals of the fifth rank and above to enter the palace to see the emperor. Li Feng is now a subordinate of the fifth rank and is in the position of a ranger. He is not allowed to enter yet."
The voice is soft and crisp, with a somewhat familiar crispness.
Chen Ping looked back and met Su Yiyi's eyes impartially.
Because it is winter and the capital is cold, Su Yiyi wore a light-colored winter lotus skirt today, with rabbit fur at the collar, embroidery all over the body, and a bright red cloak, which made her delicate snow-white skin even more dazzling.
Such beauty is so rare that Chen Ping was stunned.
"What are you looking at?" Su Lin touched his chin and joked: "My sister looks amazing in her outfit today!"
Before Chen Ping could recover, Su Yiyi blushed.
"What are you talking about? This is how I dress up on weekdays!"
"Oh? Really? Why don't I remember this happened?" Xie Zhiyuan watched the excitement with his hands folded, followed by a smiling woman with bright eyes, "Shi'er, what do you think?"
Ming Shi couldn't help laughing, covering her lips and smiling softly.
"I stay at home every day. I only know that my sister rarely wears such a gorgeous flying bun."
After hearing this, everyone present burst into laughter immediately, leaving Su Yiyi alone with her face flushed as red as a peach blossom.
Chen Ping looked at his nose and heart, touched his forehead awkwardly, and forcibly changed the topic.
"Then what...that is to say, Senior Brother Li Feng will not meet the Holy Spirit today. So where do they usually stay?"
The laughter subsided a little, and Su Yiyi said angrily: "Yes, you really miss Senior Brother Li Feng!"
Xie Zhiyuan looked at Cheng Cheng and smiled without saying a word.
"Let's not talk about this for now," Ming Shi held the handkerchief and stepped forward, glanced at Chen Ping and said, "I have heard Zhiyuan talk about you for a long time, and now I finally see you in person. You are indeed a talented person."
Chen Ping was still embarrassed at this moment. When Ming Shi came up to say hello, he didn't think much about it and quickly bowed his hands.
"Sister-in-law is so complimentary."
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Xie Zhiyuan was holding on to the railing and laughing so hard that he was out of breath. Ming Shi was stunned and blushed with embarrassment.
"What are you calling me? I just praised you, and now you're acting like a fool!"
Chen Ping's face was full of confusion, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Su Yiyi joked: "Idiot, are you stupid because of studying? They are not married yet, how can they call me sister-in-law."
"Ah!" Chen Ping finally reacted and explained in embarrassment: "Miss Ming, please calm down, I didn't mean it."
Luo Li took a sip of his drink and couldn't help laughing when he looked at Chen Ping.
Jieyuan, the youngest member of the Dayu Dynasty, can be so naive sometimes.
Xie Zhiyuan laughed so hard that tears came out, "That's a good call, keep it up. Let's eat something first, we're already cold...Hahaha!"
The long streets of the capital are bustling and lively, but the laughter from Qionghua Tower still spreads far away.
After lunch, because of Zhao Wenhe’s instructions before leaving, everyone didn’t get together for too long. After all, there will be more opportunities to meet each other in the future.
After everyone separated, Chen Ping went to the office set up by the Ministry of Household Affairs of Shangshu Province and submitted his household registration status for participating in the examination.
After finishing the matter, Chen Ping followed Chen Tianrui to his residence. Cheng Cheng had real estate in the capital in his early years, so he went back there directly.
The shop purchased by Tianxiangge Beijing Branch is behind a small courtyard with three entrances. It is not far from the Gongyuan in the inner city, and there are wealthy restaurants with gold and jade shops on the left and right, so the location is quite good.
After days of traveling and traveling, Chen Ping fell asleep after arriving in his room. He didn't wake up slowly until the sun was shining brightly the next day.
"Young master, can you rest for a few more days? Didn't Mr. Xie also say that you should have a good rest for a few days before we meet again?" Chen Tianrui persuaded Chen Ping when he saw that he was about to go out.
Chen Ping changed his clothes, wearing a green scholar's shirt and a turban on his head, looking quite elegant.
He smiled and shook his head, "Under the emperor's feet, since you are here, you naturally have to walk around and take a look. You are busy, Luo Li and I are walking around."
"Is Mr. Luo the only one accompanying you?" Chen Tianrui was a little worried and suggested: "Let's send two more people."
"No need." Luo Li strode out with his head held high.
Chen Ping smiled and nodded, then walked out with Luo Li.
There are many palace gates in the capital, and the lanes are extremely wide. There is a constant flow of cars and horses, and naturally there is a lot of people.
"At the feet of the emperor," Chen Ping looked at the lively scene and sighed: "It deserves to be the capital."
Luo Li had no feeling at all about this and just asked coldly: "Where are we going?"
Chen Ping identified the direction among the crowd and said directly to the west: "I asked clearly yesterday that the post house where Senior Brother Li Feng is staying is in this direction."
If Li Feng and others return to Beijing to receive the reward, they will have no residence to live in, so they will rest in the post house.
"What if he lives with Shangguan?" Luo Li hesitated.
Chen Ping looked back at him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Luo Li shrugged, "You didn't ask."
"It never hurts to meet."
"There are a lot of rules in the military."
"Do you know this?" Chen Ping looked at Luo Li curiously.
Luo Li didn't reply and walked toward the west.
The words came to an abrupt end, and Chen Ping stopped asking questions and followed directly.
When the two of them were still some distance away from the inn, a tall and burly shadow suddenly appeared in front of them. Its thick limbs were like wooden stakes, and they were suddenly pierced in front of Chen Ping.
Luo Li subconsciously straightened up and grabbed the dagger behind his waist with his backhand.
"Looking just like you from a distance, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've changed a lot!"
The visitor was smiling brightly, and his dark skin was shining in the winter sun.
Chen Ping slowly raised his head and recognized this tall and strong man from his facial features and voice, but he was still a little unsure and asked tentatively.
"Is it Li...Senior Brother Li Feng?"
"That's me!" Li Feng laughed loudly, raised his hand and patted Chen Ping's shoulder excitedly, "What a boy, I haven't seen you for a few years and you've grown so big!"
Chen Ping's shoulder was hit to one side and he almost stopped standing.
Li Feng covered his head and couldn't help laughing, with a hint of amusement on his dark face.
"Look at you, you are too thin."
In Chen Ping's mind, he compared Li Feng's appearance in the past, and now they are completely different when they meet again, and the corner of his mouth can't stop twitching slightly.
"I didn't realize it. But my senior brother's muscles are too strong."
"How can one hundred and eighty pounds of armor and weapons be used without some meat?" Li Feng pulled Chen Ping towards the inn, "When did you enter Beijing?"
"I just arrived yesterday, where are you, senior brother?"
"It's the seventh or eighth day. General Chang has been waiting to enter the palace for an audience. I guess you are also arriving on the two days, so I am worried about missing you."
Chen Ping was surprised and said: "What do you mean, senior brother, you want to go back to the border?"
