The north wind howled, rolling up layers of snowflakes, and horse-drawn carriages with a thick layer of snow drove into an ancient and magnificent city gate, on which were lined with guarded soldiers, and directly above the city wall, two words were duly engraved: capital
"Finally arrived in the capital, there are still so many people in and out on a snowy day, and most of the pedestrians I saw along the way were scholars who rushed to the capital for thousands of miles, so the way, why did they still fight to come to the capital?"
A little girl in a thick cloak leaned out of the car window and looked out at the snow, revealing a row of white teeth, her voice as clear as a yellow warbler, her eyes were bright, and if she moved, the slender eyelashes fluttered with snowflakes.
"The capital is a rich place in Dahua, and it is also a place where scholars in the world compete with each other, eight hundred lonely cold, thousands of miles is a spring and autumn, our daughter's family for a love word, would rather Shaohua white head, lonely this life, and men for fame and fortune, can also live in the bitter cold, die on the battlefield!"
The little girl turned around and said, "Sister Lin, you have been holding this doll all the way, and you haven't seen you put it down for a moment - could it be a token of love given to my sister by a son-in-law?"
The woman sneered: "This doll is playing blindly when I am bored, Xue'er, why do you talk more and more like your sweetheart?"
"He's not my sweetheartβ" Then the carriage came to a halt suddenly, and the little girl poked her head out and said, "The guards at the gate seem to have stopped our carriage." β
The woman said, "Have you seen Shen Feng?"
The little girl looked over and said, "He seems to be in front."
The woman lifted the curtain and said, "Let's go down and have a look."

"Big Brother Guard, why can't we go in?"
"I see that you are from other places, the city guard has an order, people from other places are not allowed to enter the city in recent days, if you want to enter the city, then wait for the Lantern Festival to pass. β
Damn, what is the breaking order, anti-SARS or anti-avian flu, Shen Feng twitched cheekily, took out a silver ingot, and then hugged the chief of the guard, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, how do you see this-"
The captain of the guard looked left and right, then quickly accepted the silver, and said: "It turns out that you are from the capital, why did you say that you are from other places, you enter the city quickly, don't delay the people behind." β
Damn, it turned out that he was so unprincipled, destined to guard the gate for the rest of his life, Shen Feng was about to let the Lin family's carriage process, but he heard the guard chief shouting: "Lord City Guard!"
"Stop!"
Shen Feng heard a loud shout, subconsciously turned his head to look, at this time, a young general came on horseback, only to see him tiger body ape arms, belly and wolf waist, like a fierce horse, the sound is like thunder, the young general rode to Shen Feng and stopped, holding a spear in his hand, glaring angrily: "You are not allowed to enter if you are not a local!"
Shen Feng suddenly remembered that Miss Lan had said that his grandfather was from the capital, so he said: "I am indeed not from the capital, my young lady's grandfather is from the capital, and this time I am going to live in my grandfather's house." β
The young general snorted coldly: "There is no basis for empty words! If you want to be deceived again, I will take you down!"
Damn, Lao Tzu is telling the truth, Shen Feng looked at him angrily, the young general swept away the fierce wood, and shouted: "Bold!" As he spoke, he held the silver spear and hit Shen Feng.
Shen Feng was no longer Wuxia Ameng, his reflexes and agility were several times higher than usual, and when he saw a silver light slashing from top to bottom, he stretched out a hand and held the silver spear tightly!
The young general wanted to take back the body of the gun again, but the body of the gun was tightly grasped by him~ and did not move, he was taken aback, the green tendons on his hands burst out, and the arm strength increased several times invisibly.
Originally thought that he could take the gun back, but he was still holding it tightly, the young general's face was a little unbearable, he relied on his arm strength was extremely big, he had never met an opponent in Dahua, but he didn't expect that a nameless boy today made him lose face.
Seeing this, the guards shouted, "Take him down!"
Lin Kelan saw that Shen Feng had a conflict with someone, and walked a few steps and said, "Shen Feng, what happened?"
Shen Feng snorted coldly and let go of his hand, and said, "If this adult doesn't believe me, he can ask my young lady directly." β
At this time, Miss Tang also came over, saw the young general, and snorted: "General Xiahou doesn't recognize me, Miss Ben wants to enter Beijing, why do you force it." β
"I don't know it's the eldest lady, please forgive me!" The young general's expression was not very friendly, and he didn't seem to buy the Tang family's account, and then said: "Let go!" After that, he glanced at Shen Feng angrily.
Shen Feng cut and returned to the carriage with the two girls, and Lin Kelan said with palpitations: "You are too nonsense just now, and before you entered the gate of the capital, you had a conflict with someone." β
Shen Feng smiled bitterly: "It's the people in the capital who are too dragged, and if you look at it more, you may start a fight." β
Miss Tang snorted: "Sister Lin, it's no wonder that he is not guilty, the people of the capital are notoriously arrogant, and many children of official families often rely on their power to oppress the people, I just can't get used to staying here, so I went back to Shengzhou with my mother." β
Lin Kelan said lightly: "Alas, after all, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are many princes and generals here, so we need to be careful when we first arrive." β
Shen Feng asked, "Miss, who was that person just now?"
"He is my brother's sworn enemy, called Xiahou Zai, my brother is from a family of generals, and after he was demoted, my brother felt that he was arrogant and had no one in his eyes, and he disobeyed my brother with his own special skills, and felt that my brother could enter the military camp all because of the Tang family. β
Shen Feng smiled and asked, "Then he is more powerful, or is your brother more powerful?"
Miss Tang slurred: "Of course my brother is better - but he is not too bad." β
Shen Feng smiled: "He is indeed powerful, so he is arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes." β
"When this man entered the barracks, he kept looking for people to compete, and he provoked my brother three times and twice, and even said that no one in the army was his opponent except his brother. Miss Tang frowned, and said happily: "Just now you caught his gun with one hand, I think he is just like this, worse than you." β
Khan, if I had beaten him, I would have cleaned him up just now, is this called Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover, no, it should be called a macho man in the eyes of a lover, Shen Feng felt that he had nothing to do, and was about to jump out of the carriage, but he heard Lin Kelan shouting softly: "Where are you going?"
Shen Feng looked back and smiled: "I don't get out of the carriage, do I still stay with you." β
"No need, anyway, it's still some way from the house, you might as well stay and talk to Cher. It's rare that he has some rules, Lin Kelan is secretly happy in her heart, thinking that he is not unruly, but sometimes he is a little casual, sometimes when he is bad to people, people hate him so much that he grits his teeth, but if he is good to people, it is really sweet to the heart, just like that night he served himself to eat, gentle and considerate, any woman in the world will be intoxicated.
Shen Feng said with a smile: "Then thank you, Miss, as the saying goes, a hundred years of repair of Uniqlo, a thousand years of repair of a car shock, I cautiously ask, the two young ladies are willing to let me and you car shock, there will be some bumps and bumps." β
Lin Kelan gave him a blank look, and said lightly: "If you sit down, you will sit down, if the road is too rugged and shaken, I will drive you down." β
The shock was too strong, it was a must, Shen Feng smiled wryly, and sat among them, the carriage cushion seat was very spacious, more than enough to accommodate three people, Shen Feng said leisurely: "Miss Lan, tell me something about the capital." β
Lin Kelan was accustomed to his orders, shook his head and said: "I only came to the capital when I was a child, but I have little memory when I was a child, and now I can't remember the capital clearly. β
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Miss Tang was thoughtful, and hurriedly said: "I grew up in the capital since I was a child, so I will simply introduce you to the capital by Miss Ben!"
Lin Kelan chuckled: "It's best for Xue'er." β
Miss Tang coughed lightly twice, then pretended to be a storyteller, and said coquettishly: "Speaking of the capital, everyone knows that this is where the emperor lives, and it has many mountains around, such asβfor exampleβ"
Seeing that the eldest lady was spitting and spitting, she was so anxious that she blushed and couldn't speak, Shen Feng laughed out loud, and Miss Tang was embarrassed, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, people just forgot it for a while, hmph, you make fun of me, I said it badly, then you can talk about it!"
"You forgot that I used to be a storyteller in a teahouse, and talking about local scenery and scenic spots is my forte, so you prick up your ears and listen to me-" Shen Feng didn't forget to make fun of Miss Tang: "Miss, am I a storyteller dressed like you." β
"Hate it! Say it quickly!" Miss Tang blushed and scolded coquettishly.
Shen Feng pondered for a moment, and then said: "If you want to talk about this capital, it can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, as early as the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou called the Duke of Zhou in the capital and nearby areas, called Yan, and the descendants of Yao Yu Ji, in the southwest of today's capital, after the Yan Kingdom destroyed the Ji Kingdom, moved the capital to Ji, collectively known as Yandu or Yanjing. β
So we often hear about Yanjing, which is also the origin, and many people call the capital Youzhou, which has to go back to the earliest division of Kyushu in ancient times! Youzhou is one of the Kyushu, and it is also the place where people lived in ancient times, and even more, it is the shadow of the ancestors. β
Miss Tang was unconvinced and said: "How do you know Emperor Taizu's thoughts, I think this is obviously made up by yourself." β
This is really Shen Feng's own blind fabrication, but which tour guide is not blindly made up, Shen Feng smiled disapprovingly, and continued: "After talking about the capital and the origin of the name, let's take a look at the place where the capital is located, the northwest and east of the capital are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the north pillow is Yong, the west is Taihang, the east is connected with mountains and seas, and the south is overlooking the Central Plains'." Its topographic skeleton was formed during the Yanshan movement in the Mesozoic Era. β
"The western mountains, from the Guangou in the south to the Juma River, collectively referred to as the West Mountains, belong to the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountains, and are composed of a series of northeast-southwest trending, roughly parallel folded mountain ranges. Taihang Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles from Shanxi through Hebei to the south entrance of Beijing, and is called "the right arm of Shenjing" in history.
"βBut when we arrived, the geology became dry, the vegetation around the capital decreased, and if there was drought, little rain, or strong winds, sandstorms would occurβ"
Shen Fengkou explained the origin and history of the capital to the two daughters like a river, and even said some modern issues, the two girls listened with relish, and the carriage came to the market while driving.
When Miss Tang heard the noise and shouting, she leaned out of the car window and said, "Sister Lin, we have arrived at the market, we haven't been to the capital for a few years, and the market in the capital is a lot more lively, and it is already night, and there are still so many hawkers shouting." β
Lin Kelan said: "It just so happened that we entered the market, and when we move into a new house, we will definitely lack some things for daily use, so it is better to go down and see what we can buy." β
"I'll go too!" Miss Tang exclaimed with joy, then turned her head and asked, "Shen Feng, are you going then?"
Shen Feng said with a smile: "Both of you have gone, of course I am indispensable, both of you are treasure-level beauties in Shengzhou City, so I naturally want to accompany you to protect you." β
The two got out of the carriage together, the carriage stopped near the market, and after a few people got off the carriage, they did not enter the market to buy the items they needed, and the rough work of carrying the items was naturally handed over to the family to do, and Shen Feng was lazy and entered the crowd to inquire about the news.
Shen Feng saw an old man on crutches on the side of the street, so he walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Old man, excuse me, I want to ask you about something." β
The old man slowly turned his head, looked at Shen Feng with a pair of cloudy eyes, and said, "Little brother, what do you want to ask, but you can only ask one, and I can't ask too much." β
Shen Feng smiled and said, "Have you always lived in the capital?"
The old man said with a rather angry expression: "I have lived in this capital for more than 60 years, and I have experienced the two emperors of Dahua, and I remember everything that happened in the capital clearly. β
"It turns out that the old man is the so-called Bai Xiaosheng in the capital!" Shen Feng smiled and said, "Before asking a question, I want to ask a question first." β
"You slippery boy, you just said that you wanted to inquire about one thing, but now it has become two questions, it's just that-" The old man said, "What do you want to ask?"
Shen Feng said: "How many princesses and palace maids are there in our Dahua Palace?"
The old man said with a smile: "There is only one eldest princess, there are sixteen princesses, and as for the palace maids, there are too many, if not tens of thousands, but also eight thousand." β
Shen Feng pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then is there a person named Wu Yao among these princesses, the homonym is fine, oh! As he spoke, he also wrote the word Wu Yao on the palm of his hand.
The old man shook his head resolutely and said, "I've never heard of it." β
The last time I had a fever, my brain had already remembered the name Ji Yao, and it was all thanks to the fox, she deliberately didn't remind Shen Feng that the half-year period was advanced, in fact, the purpose was to let Shen Feng recover a little memory, although she was also well-intentioned, but this kind of play was too exciting.
