Luncheng is the capital of Dayu Kingdom, so it naturally has an extraordinary momentum.
Gong Liang stood at the foot of the city and looked up. The tall city wall was lying like a lion in the surrounding fields.
Although it is not as vast, rough and grand as the Great Wilderness Temple, it has a sophisticated atmosphere of civilized society that is different from the Great Wilderness.
Outside the city gate, a group of traveling merchants carrying turtles, turtles, and giant beasts that they had never seen on the road kept walking out from the foothills in the distance, step by step, and quickly walked towards Luncheng. In the sky, people were carrying people one after another.
The raptors chirped and flew towards the northwest corner of the city.
Here, Gong Liang was very surprised to see the colorful cloud chariot of Cheshi Kingdom. He didn't know that Cheshi Kingdom had a cloud chariot that opened to Dayu Kingdom. If he had known it, he would have come here on the cloud chariot.
Not only the colorful cloud chariot, he also saw a floating flying chariot coming from a distance and falling to the capital of Dayu, and another one rising from the capital and flying into the distance.
When he came here, Gongliang originally wanted to put away the black mammoth Dorje, but when he saw the tall giant beast and the huge tortoise walking into the city, he didn't put it away and walked directly inside with the Dorje.
The soldier guarding the city gate glanced at the black mammoth, said nothing, and let him go.
Entering the city, Gong Liang experienced the prosperity that was different from that in the wilderness. There were many high-rise restaurants nearby and there were crowds of people. Some smart people even rode docile beasts such as rhinos and water eagles, carrying fresh fruits and food back and forth on the streets.
Selling.
When the person who liked it saw it, he reached out and took it away, and then threw the silver over.
Anyone who can travel on a beast will not be short of money. Just throw a little bit at it and it will be worth the price of those things.
Gongliang walked for a while and saw a one-horned rhinoceros with hoarfrost grapes and ice crystal snow pears that he had never seen in the wilderness. He grabbed a bunch of them and threw a dime of gold over them.
The vendor was so happy that he lay down on the beast's back and thanked him respectfully.
Yuan Guangun and Mi Gu were not polite at all. They each grabbed a large bunch of grapes and started eating them.
Gongliang gave a bunch to Mo Siyin, and he took a bite of the ice crystal snow pear. It was crispy and juicy, with a refreshing feeling that penetrated the heart and lungs. It was very good. When he saw the capital, Gongliang asked Mo Siyin:
"Where is your home? I'll take you back later."
"Siyin, don't be in a hurry, brother Shiyilang should send sister Qier back first!"
"Her affairs are a bit troublesome, so I'd better send you off first!"
Seeing what he said, Mo Siyin stopped being humble and gave her address. Gongliang asked someone to ask, and then took her forward.
In the high gate courtyard, a middle-aged man sat on top of him, while several people below him were trembling with fear.
"You bastards, it's been so long and I haven't even been able to catch anyone, so why do I need you people?"
"It's all my subordinates who didn't do their job well. Please forgive me, Lord."
"If you don't look for it yet, if you can't find it again, you can come and see me."
"Yes, yes, my subordinate will go right away."
Several people turned around quickly and walked out quickly.
The middle-aged man looked at their leaving figures with a gloomy look in his eyes.
In a tall mansion, an old man with white beard and hair asked a man with a beautiful short beard next to him: "Zhi'er, is Sanniang still missing?"
The short-bearded man shook his head sadly.
"Don't be sad. Since she buried the dead soldiers, it means she is fine. Maybe she has arrived in Luncheng. This child encountered such a disaster for the first time when he went out. It was because of his father's involvement.
Those people are determined to kill me! Do you think it is wrong to promote Mohism for your father? It is so beneficial to the country and the people, but they don’t see it? Do they want the disasters of the Great Yu to continue and the people of the world to mourn day and night to be satisfied?
"The old man said angrily.
"Father, you are right, and so are they. If you promote Mohism, it will inevitably cause harm to the doctrines they promote. Their things are not as practical as our Mohism. If we do not stop them, in the long run, their doctrines will be lost in Dayu.
There is no foundation to stand on. This is a dispute over doctrines, concepts, and inheritance. It is also a battle for fame and fortune, a battle of life and death, and has nothing to do with national affairs."
"It's all about fame and fortune."
The old man sighed and said: "Zhi'er, you have to be prepared. Although you are a father and a national teacher, you are still subordinate to others. If there is any change in that time, you and I, father and son, will die without burial."
The ground is gone.”
"Zhi'er understands."
"Go down! I'm a little tired as a father."
"My child, please leave."
Another mansion, the room was filled with gloom and gloom.
An elegant man was sitting on a small bed, looking at the sleeping girl with a pale face and a hint of pink, his eyes full of love and pity.
A woman next to her looked thin and had a sad look on her face.
"Wenbo, can Qier be saved?"
"Madam, don't worry. With your husband here, Qier will be fine." The elegant man said sonorously and forcefully.
The woman nodded and turned to look at the girl on the bed, tears silently falling from her eyes.
"well"
The elegant man walked out of the door and came to the lobby. His straight body suddenly bent down, and he no longer looked as strong as before in the room.
An old servant came from outside the door and asked: "Master, are you looking for me?"
The elegant man nodded and said, "Uncle Lin, haven't you found the Western Demon yet?"
The old servant shook his head and said, "The monster disappeared after leaving the capital. Where can I find him in such a big world?"
"Since you can't find it, let the Yamen issue the sea arrest documents and take out the silver. If anyone informs the demon's whereabouts, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. If he can catch the demon, he will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver."
"Old servant, I'll make arrangements now."
Gongliang rode the black mammoth Dorje and stopped in front of a majestic mansion. He looked up and saw the two characters "Mo Mansion" written on the plaque. Looking further forward, he saw two giant black iron beasts crawling in front of the vermilion gate.
, one head is majestic, and the other is smiling slightly, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
Since Momen is good at traps, he had some doubts that the two black iron giant beasts in front of the door were trap beasts.
There were still several soldiers standing beside the door. When two of them saw them lingering in front of the door, they shouted: "You are not allowed to stay in front of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion without any reason, otherwise you will be severely punished."
Mo Siyin stood up and said, "Can you two please come in and report that Siyin is back?"
The guard guard saw that they were an extraordinary group and did not dare to neglect them, so he quickly went in to report.
Gong Liang jumped off Duoji's back with Mo Siyin in tow.
After a while, a large group of people were seen pouring out of the house. Among them, an old woman of about 50 years old in luxurious clothes burst into tears without saying a word and shouted to Mo Siyin: "My poor child, come here quickly and let grandma take a look."
"Grandma," Mo Si said like a baby swallow, and flew into the old woman's arms, hugged her, and cried bitterly.
The women and servants beside him felt sad and silently wiped away their tears.
No matter how strong she was, Mo Siyin couldn't help but shed tears of sadness when she saw her relatives.
What Gongliang didn't like the most was this scene of crying and sadness after parting between life and death. Since Mo Siyin had gone home, he jumped on Duoji's back and turned around to leave.
After walking a few steps, I heard a loud shout from behind, "Brother Shiyilang."
Gongliang looked back and saw Mo Siyin looking at him with a pear-shaped face. He kept wiping his tears with his slender hands, but the tears kept falling. Gongliang smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I still have something to do."
I'll do it, come visit me again when I have time, and say goodbye." After saying that, he sat on the Black Mammoth and left.
Mo Siyin cried louder, she didn't even know what she was crying for.
"Sanniang, who is that and why did you come back with him?" a woman asked from the side.
"He is a good man of the Dayan tribe. Siyin met him on the road and survived. Otherwise, you will never see Siyin again, wuwuwuwu."
"This is a good man."
The luxuriously dressed old woman turned to the short-bearded man and said, "Zhi'er, you have to repay me well."
"My child understands."
The short-bearded man turned and spoke to a servant next to him, and the servant chased the black mammoth.
"Sanniang, let's go in!" said the richly dressed old woman.
"Okay." Mo Siyin walked inside surrounded by everyone. When he was about to enter, he couldn't help but look back, but Gongliang was gone. I don't know what happened, but an inexplicable sad feeling came over him.
In my heart, tears fell again.
After leaving Mo Mansion, Gong Liang didn't adjust his mood until he couldn't see the mansion anymore.
To be honest, he is sometimes very hard-hearted and sometimes very soft-hearted. The last thing he wants to see is a woman crying.
If possible, he hopes to be happy for the rest of his life.
After dealing with Mo Siyin's matter, the next step is Qi'er's problem.
Gongliang asked the wooden sign hanging on his chest: "Qier, where is your home?"
"Brother Shiyilang, Qier doesn't know either. Qier always rides in a sedan when going out."
Qier's parents only have one daughter, and they love her as much as life. When they go out, they have to be accompanied by their parents and a group of maids and servants to wait on them. She was also unlucky. When she went out to burn incense, she was killed by a man from the Western Region.
The Taoist took a fancy to her, followed her home, and used the Soul-Living Pearl to lure away her soul, otherwise there would not have been such a disaster.
Gong Liang touched his chin. He didn't know where his home was, so how could he find it?
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Then do you know your father's name?"
"Qier knows that his father's name is Luan Wenbo." Qier said happily.
"Are you an official in the court?"
"My mother said that my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a very big official."
No matter how big your official position is, it will be much easier to find people if you have a name and a professional title.
Gongliang rode the black mammoth Dorje forward for a while. Feeling that it was inconvenient to find someone like this, he jumped down and put it into the fruit space. Then he found an idle man and asked for directions: "Friend, do you know Luan Wenbo, the Minister of Civil Affairs?"
Where is your mansion?"
The idle man looked at him with contempt, turned around and left without answering.
Gong Liang was so angry that he grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him back, shouting: "What are you asking me? It's so rude."
But the idle man was not afraid of him and said loudly: "You are blind. The palace of Minister Luan is right behind you. Can't you see for yourself?"
When Gong Liang heard what he said, he turned around and saw the two words "Luan Mansion" written on the plaque of the mansion in front of him.
Huh, I didn’t even see it.
The idle man took advantage of his distraction, struggled to escape from his clutches, and walked away, muttering as he walked, without even knowing what he was talking about...
