Kyoto Chapter 12: The Controversy (1)
The first day of the seventh month of the 177th year of the Qiyuan calendar. The carriage that Su Mo was riding entered the boundary of the capital.
These days, Su Mo has been constantly communicating with the phantom left by Leng Xunsheng, and with the extremely strong true yuan, he finally completed the construction of Yuzhou City in his impression.
It's just that when building the Xuanquan School Palace, the two had a little dispute. The woman said that Su Mo wanted to build the old style of the Muyun Academy in the past, but Su Mo insisted on building the martial arts pavilion as well.
Of course, in the end, Wu Ge still appeared in Su Mo's inner world. After all, this is Su Mo's inner world, not Leng Xunsheng's inner world.
For this reason, the woman was angry for a long time, although she still spared no effort to guide Su Mo's cultivation, her tone became much colder.
Su Mo didn't care, he was more concerned about Zhen Yuanhai, who had faintly risen in the past few days, than the woman's mood.
With his current situation, I'm afraid that swallowing the pill of the Yuan Gang Realm will not be of much benefit. He even wanted to find one or two Divine Imperial Realm pills to take to see if he could speed up his slow cultivation as a turtle.
When I saw the two gates of Kyoto that were dozens of feet high. Su Mo perked up his spirits, and then ordered Qin Xiu to enter the city quickly.
Qin Xiu didn't dare to slack off, and waved his horsewhip again and again. After handing in a series of official documents and seals, the guards motioned for the two to enter the city.
Qin Xiu wiped his sweat. The road was not all smooth sailing, and in order to take a short route on the way, they also deliberately went to the mountains and forests. As a result, I encountered an eyeless demon beast on the way.
The few that blocked the road at the beginning were mostly first- and second-level demon beasts. Even without Su Mo's move, Qin Xiu could solve them with a sword casually.
It's just that later, the level of the demon beast became higher and higher, and during this time, he also encountered two fifth-level spirit demons. If it weren't for Su Mo's powerful supernatural powers, plus a spirit demon from nowhere who dragged one of the fifth-level spirit demons, I'm afraid they wouldn't have arrived in Kyoto so quickly.
Qin Xiu turned his head and asked Su Mo, "Shouyu, should we go to Wolong Garden first, or go to Shouyu Palace first?"
Su Mo shook his head and ordered, "You and a few of your fellow disciples go to Wolong Garden first." I'll go to the household first. ”
Qin Xiu was slightly startled when he heard the word Hubu. He couldn't help but ask, "Shouyu, don't you want to get those Yulu back?"
Su Mo smiled and said: "The law of the Great Yuan seems to have a stipulation, whether any household position is vacant or not, there is a regular payment, but if no one goes to receive these money, it will be temporarily detained to the household department, and after the next successor to the throne, these seized money will be distributed together." ”
Qin Xiu's face was embarrassed: "This law does exist, but do you think that since the disappearance of the previous guard, those seized Yulu will still be in the household department? I'm afraid they have already found some reasons to spend it." And the guard is young, and he rashly goes to the household department to ask for money, for fear that he will be stumped. ”
Su Mo bowed his head and said: "What you said is good, in fact, I already know, I'm afraid there will be no result this time." ”
Qin Xiu asked a little confusedly, "Then Su Shouyu is still ......?"
Su Mo motioned for him to stop the carriage, and then got out of the carriage. He turned around and said, "If it doesn't work this time, let's go there a second time." Today they refuse to give, and one day they will beg for it. ”
Although Qin Xiu was still a little dazed, he only said careful in the end. Then he drove away.
A flash of aura suddenly appeared on Su Mo's body, and then his figure disappeared in place.
When he reappeared, he was thirty paces away.
Now his location is a suburb, and horse-drawn carriages are not good here. He identified the direction of the city, and then he did the same, and galloped in a certain direction.
On the way, I met a few sergeants wearing armor who saw the aura on Su Mo's body, and tried to step forward to stop it. But when Su Mo showed the nameplate of the guard, they immediately saluted honestly.
After coming to the downtown area, Su Mo directly restrained the aura on his body. Suddenly, his whole temperament was like that of an ordinary scholar.
He stopped a carriage and saluted, "Can you let me go down the way?"
The coachman looked at Su Mo a little stunned, he just wanted to refuse, but he heard someone in the car stop him: "Wait." ”
Then the door was pushed open by the people inside, and a young man in an official uniform stepped down. The man had a tall forehead, a white face and no beard, and he was born with a nine-point official appearance.
The man looked at Su Mo and saw that he was just a young man, and a little surprise appeared in his eyes, but he still saluted: "In Xia Xu Qingshan, I don't know who this young man is?"
Su Mo shook his sleeves and saluted back: "Under Su Zi'an." ”
Xu Qingshan bowed his head and said: "It turned out to be Su Shaolang, I don't know what Shaolang said about the way, how to interpret it?"
Su Mo looked at him and said, "Do you want to go to Wangfeng Pavilion?"
Xu Qingshan showed a trace of doubt on his face, he shook his head and said, "I'm not going to Wangfeng Pavilion, but I do want to go to the Household Department Office near it." If you don't want to take a long detour, just go with it. ”
Su Mo thanked him. Then he got into the carriage with him.
When he got into the carriage, Su Mo realized that there was another person in the carriage.
It was a girl. He was only seven or eight years old, but he was sitting in the car. When she saw Su Mo coming up, her watery eyes blinked twice, and then she got up and gave Su Mo a blessing.
Seeing her like this, Xu Qingshan smiled a little dotingly, and then stretched out his hand to introduce: "Su Shaolang, this is the dog girl Xu Ruo." I just turned seven years old this year. ”
Su Mo saluted the little lady and said, "I've seen Lady Xu." ”
Xu Ruo nodded and then continued to sit in the car.
Xu Qingshan glanced at Su Mo slightly apologetically, but he didn't blame Xu Ruo too much.
Su Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't say much. Just sit quietly on one side.
The carriage marched in such silence. After about three hours had passed, the carriage slowly stopped with a shouting stop.
Xu Qingshan lifted the curtain, looked at the scene outside the window, turned back to Su Mo and said, "Su Shaolang, this place is not far from Wangfeng Pavilion, why don't I let the coachman send you there." ”
Su Mo shook his head and said, "Xu Shijun, let's take a step to speak." ”
Although Xu Qingshan was puzzled, he still walked out of the carriage with Su Mo according to his words.
Su Mo looked at Xu Qingshan and asked straight to the point: "Xu Shijun, Lady Xu, is there a disease in her throat?"
Xu Qingshan opened his mouth in some surprise and said in surprise, "How do you know?"
Xu Qingshan was not a stupid person, from the words Su Mo used when he stopped him, he could guess that the young man in front of him probably already knew that he was going to the Household Department Office near Wangfeng Pavilion, so he stopped him.
Seeing through it or not, thinking that Su Mo just wanted to hitchhike himself, he didn't care too much.
But now that the boy had seen at a glance the reason why his daughter couldn't speak, how could he not be surprised?
He became vigilant for a moment, thinking of how many secrets of his family did the young man in front of him know, but then he thought that since this person dared to reveal his daughter's illness, I am afraid that there would be some possibility of curing his daughter, and he didn't even care about Su Mo's intentions at the moment, so he directly grabbed Su Mo's sleeve and asked, "Is there any way for Su Shaolang to deal with this illness?"
Su Mo didn't speak, just looked at Xu Qingshan with a smile in his eyes. Xu Qingshan seemed to realize something, withdrew his hand a little sneeringly, and said in a confession: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." ”
Su Mo shook his head and smiled: "Xu Shijun, don't worry, since Su has mentioned this matter, there will be no reason to ignore it." I have a thing here, you let Lady Xu break it into three times and take it with warm water, and the illness will heal herself. ”
With that, he took out a porcelain vase and handed it to Xu Qingshan. Xu Qingshan took it solemnly, and couldn't help but pull the cork and sniff it.
He suddenly raised his head, and when he looked at Su Mo, there was a little more fear in his eyes.
He asked a little hesitantly: "Su Shaolang, looking down at your costumes, there is still the ancient style of the old Zhou Dynasty, and the medicine you gave may also be the pill that was prevalent in the old Zhou Dynasty?"
Su Mo nodded and said, "Xu Shijun, you don't have to worry, this medicine can indeed treat noble girls." ”
can treat Xu Ruo, Xu Qingshan naturally thinks it is okay. But the point is, this is the elixir of the old cultivation. If you use the old elixir, will you commit that taboo?
Seeing Xu Qingshan's somewhat scratching his ears and cheeks, Su Mo shook his head in his heart. still took out the nameplate from his sleeve and placed it in front of Xu Qingshan.
Xu Qingshan was already a little restless when he saw the old cultivation pill, and now when he saw this nameplate, he almost exclaimed, his more than ten years of qi cultivation efforts felt in vain.
He bowed his head and said, "I've seen Lord Shouyu." ”
Su Mo waved his hand and said, "You get up, I actually just want to go to the Household Office, but you are still too suspicious." ”
Xu Qingshan almost instantly thought of the things involved in guarding the palace, and he also knew what Su Mo came to the Ministry of Household Affairs for.
However, Su Mo has a great favor to him, and he is not good at opposing him. He hesitated for a while, and then asked cautiously, "Lord Shouyu, should that villain still go to the government office now?"
Su Mo smiled slyly: "Xu Shijun, didn't I tell you just now, I'm going to Wangfeng Pavilion? ”
Xu Qingshan immediately understood, nodded again and again, and said, "What Shouyu said is extremely true. The villain will go. ”
He hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Su Shouyu, if you have time, I hope to come to the cold house to talk about it." Although there are not many good things in Aoyama's house, he will try his best to entertain the guards. ”
At this moment, where did he still have any feeling of looking at the afterlife in his gaze at Su Mo? Although he was a Yuan person, he had also heard some rumors of old cultivation, and at this moment, he had already decided that the young man-like guardian in front of him was probably just an old cultivator with a good face.
This undoubtedly made him a little more cautious.
Looking at Xu Qingshan's envoy to call the coachman to leave quickly, Su Mo said helplessly: "It seems that guarding this position is now only fearful in the hearts of the people of Dayuan, and there is no respect." ”
He looked at the black building and muttered, "Change starts here." ”
