Chapter 255: First Arrival in the National Capital
The capital of Qianfeng was far away from the Chiyan Mountains, and with the speed of a four-winged pegasus, it also flew for two days before landing in the capital.
On the way, Xiao Yu asked Duan Yuxi: "Yuxi, the sect master said that our One Sword Sect has a purpose of 'convincing people with reason', I don't know what it means?"
When Duan Yuxi heard his words, he just glanced at him, smiled lightly and didn't answer.
Mo Xuanyu on the side also glanced back at Xiao Yu, and his smile was quite meaningful, and even Cangyun curled the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Yu only felt inexplicable, and the laughter of several people was the same as Dugu's arrogant tone that day, which was quite meaningful.
However, when he delved into these four-character mantras, he only wanted to come up with the meaning of being thoughtful and complete, and not losing the demeanor of the great sect.
Deeper, but I couldn't think of anything.
The group dismounted, and the attendants led them to the gates.
Seeing the crowds outside the city and the long queue of people who want to enter the city, you can imagine what a prosperous scene it should be in the national capital.
"Riding is forbidden in the city, I hope you don't be surprised, I have prepared a carriage at the gate of the city, and you will go to the post house with me to rest in a while. ”
The squire spoke very respectfully, and he led the people around the procession and walked into the city gates, without even glancing at the soldiers who were examining them.
"Who? Hey, hey, what about you!"
When the soldiers of the guard saw that someone was so bold, they hurriedly rushed up to stop the people, and said in a vicious voice: "Where did the rabbit cub come from, dare to be good at the city gate?"
The leading attendant was stopped, snorted coldly, and his respectful look towards Xiao Yu and the others immediately faded, and he was replaced with an impatient expression:
"Blind your eyes, and don't see who I am?"
Only then did the soldiers on guard see the faces of the people who came, and slapped themselves hard in their hearts, hating themselves for being faster than their eyes.
"Wei ...... Commander of the Guard. He stammered, his face cloudy, "The little one has eyes and no beads, and Commander Wei should not be like me." ”
Xiao Yu and the others were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that this attendant who came to receive and guide the way turned out to be a dignified leader.
Commander Wei let out a cold snort again, not caring about him, brushing aside the soldier, and wanting to enter the city.
"Commander Wei, wait a minute!"
The soldier on guard stubbornly stopped again, "Please wait a while, Commander Wei, and I'll check it a little later, and let you pass immediately." ”
Commander Wei stopped, and this time his impatient expression had added a little gloom.
He squinted his eyes and stared at the soldier blocking the road, the soldier was cold in his heart when he saw it, and said with a sneer: "The small one also does things according to the rules, and the commander of Wei takes people into the city like this, if the prince asks it, the small one is not easy to explain......
Syllable!
A heavy slap slammed into the soldier's face, and the surrounding soldiers were startled, and hurriedly surrounded everyone with knives and guns.
"Don't move!" shouted the beaten soldier, stopping his men.
His face was cloudy, and he watched as Commander Wei slowly lowered his slap.
"Confession? This is confession. ”
The Wei Commander said coldly, "The person the country lord named to see is your prince himself here, and he can't stop my Wei Chi from entering the city!"
Wei Chi glanced at the soldiers who were blocking the way, and the soldiers jumped away in surprise because of his might.
He took Xiao Yu and the others into the city.
Duan Yuxi looked back at the beaten soldier being helped up by everyone, and frowned slightly: "This Wei Commander is just a routine check, and it won't be delayed for long." Why...... How do you want to be?"
Wei Chi glanced at Duan Yuxi and smiled faintly: "Miss Duan, do you think that there is a little fuss and bullying people in the future?"
Duan Yuxi thought about it, but nodded slowly.
Wei Chi shook his head and sighed: "Jin Wuwei, who is in charge of the defense of the city, is the most arrogant, but if you want to say that they are bullying, they are the real experts!"
"Every time they check the passing vendors, they must have searched for enough oil and water before they let them go, and even confiscated a few eggs from the baskets of the old and weak women and children. Jin Wuwei has the support of Prince Yong behind him, and he has become more and more rampant over the years, as if he has become the emperor of the city gate. ”
"You are all distinguished guests, and I really don't want these dirty things to insult your eyes, so it is convenient to act. ”
Listening to Wei Chi's words, everyone was stunned and looked back at the city gate.
Sure enough, I saw that those soldiers were viciously searching a dilapidated donkey cart, and the grandchildren next to them hugged each other tightly and trembled.
Duan Yuxi's face was slightly red, only to realize that Wei Chi was to blame, and Ying Ying bowed down to make amends to him.
Wei Chi waved his hand disapprovingly, signaling not to tighten.
"We're just a few unknown juniors, where can we lead the guards all the way to the One Sword Sect and deign to lead the way for us?"
Xiao Yu looked at Wei Chi and asked tentatively.
Wei Chi turned his head to look at Xiao Yu, and this time a sincere smile appeared on his face: "Brother Xiao said that you are the benefactor of my general, and you are the benefactor of my Wei Chi." ”
Xiao Yu's heart moved: "...... is your general?"
"My general's surname is Xia. ”
Xiao Yu suddenly understood why Wei Chi was respectful to him all the way.
There is only one general in this capital, and that is Xia Xingyu, who was promoted from Lengquan Pass!
It seems that Xia Xingyu also knew that he was coming to the national capital, so he specially sent his henchmen to escort him.
Wei Chi looked at the happy expression on Xiao Yu's face and smiled slightly: "If it weren't for Brother Xiao's great help in Lengquan Pass that day, the general wouldn't have been able to worship the national capital so quickly, and I would have missed a good lord like the general!"
Listening to the admiration for Xia Xingyu in Wei Chi's tone, it seems that Xia Xingyu is quite respected by martial artists in the national capital.
Thinking of the woman friend he hadn't met for a long time, Xiao Yu's heart was hot, but he was a little worried.
"If you have such a conflict with those Jin Wuwei, will it affect your general?"
"Prince Yong is not dealing with our general, and we have not had a conflict once or twice, and the martial artists in the court and China all hate him so much. Brother Xiao doesn't need to worry. ”
Xiao Yu and Duan Yuxi glanced at each other, and each saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
This Prince Yong, why does it sound so familiar?
Unexpectedly, just a small city gate reflects the intricate situation of the court.
It seems that the waters behind this ostensibly prosperous and peaceful imperial capital are unfathomable.
A few people followed the guard pool to the post house, and saw that the decoration of the inn in front of them was mediocre, and the big plaque hanging at the door was dusty, and four big characters were written in flying grass:
There is an inn.
"It's here. ”
Wei Chi said with a smile, "This is the best inn in the national capital, don't look at its inconspicuous surface, it is famous for its cooking, and no matter how many people squeeze their heads, they can't grab a seat." ”
A few people stood at the door and looked in, and sure enough, they saw that the inn was overcrowded.
The guys who came and went served the dishes non-stop, and the rich aroma came to the face.
"I've already arranged a room for you, booked a seat, you can just go in and report your name. ”
Wei Chi clenched his fists at Xiao Yu, "I'll send you here first, and if you still have official business, you won't accompany you." Tomorrow, General Xia will personally bring you to meet the lord of the country, and if you have the opportunity another day, you will definitely have a drink with Brother Xiao and a few young heroes!"
Several people watched Wei Chi leave, Duan Yuxi suddenly stared at Xiao Yu lightly, and asked calmly:
"That General Xia, you have a good relationship with you?"
"It's not bad, we're a ...... of life and death"
Before the word "handover" could be spoken, Xiao Yu felt a faint chill in Duan Yuxi's gaze.
He secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good! He smiled and pulled a few people into the inn: "Eat first, eat first, and talk while eating." ”
A few people walked into the inn, and their own spiritual men greeted them.
Knowing that it was the seat booked by the Wei commander, he led a few people up the stairs.
"I look at you, you shouldn't be a local, right? Come to our inn, our inn's signature dish is famous, even many princes ......."
The guy who led the way was happily introducing which one had just popped up on the second floor, and suddenly smashed a wine jug in front of him, slammed it on his head, and shattered into porcelain slag.
"Oops!"
The guy jumped in pain and bled on the spot.
"Who...... Who!"
He clutched the wound on his head and looked angrily in the direction where the flask was flying.
However, the curse that had just reached his mouth was swallowed back instantly, and the man swallowed his saliva and said nothing.
At the end of his line of sight, several teenagers in brocade clothes were looking at him with disdain.
Looking at the blood on his face, he snorted coldly and sat back in his seat.
Xiao Yu climbed the stairs and happened to witness this scene, he frowned, and shouted at the teenagers: "Several, you hit someone." ”
"Which eye did you see that we smashed it?"
Only a young man turned his head sideways, glanced at Xiao Yu, and said arrogantly, "If you don't believe it, ask him to see who it is?"
"It's me, it's me!" Before Xiao Yu could answer, the guy shouted in a hurry.
Half of his face was soaked in blood, but he didn't seem to feel the pain, and smiled flatteringly: "It was I who accidentally hit the pillar, and I have nothing to do with Young Master Yu, and I have nothing to do with anyone!"
The young man called "Young Master Jade" smiled proudly, "Get out!"
The guy nodded, covered his head, and hurriedly ran downstairs.
When he passed by Xiao Yu, he persuaded in a low voice: "It is unfortunate that several of them have taken up their seats, but I would like to advise you...... Let's sit in a different seat, these people can't afford to mess with them!"
He didn't dare to stay on the second floor anymore, and ran down the stairs with a sad face.
"Wild dogs from nowhere, barking here. ”
Young Master Yu glanced at Xiao Yu proudly, and he didn't know who he was scolding, so he turned his head.
Cangyun's face was gloomy, and his palm touched the blue water sword on his waist.
Mo Xuanyu next to him held him down and shook his head gently.
"Xiao Yu, look there. ”
Duan Yu looked at the position by the window, where there were already more than a dozen people.
Xiao Yu followed Duan Yuxi's gaze, and more than a dozen young men in brocade robes filled the table, almost occupying the entire second floor.
They looked intently at the table by the window, where two teenagers were sitting, and the movement at the top of the staircase did not attract their attention at all.
The two teenagers wrestling, one dressed in a purple robe, with a jade belt hanging from his waist, and a huge night pearl shining in the middle, he knew at a glance that he was either rich or noble.
He stared at the young man opposite with a relaxed expression, and even had a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth.
The boy wrestling with him gritted his teeth and struggled to pour strength into his wrists.
His left hand, which was resting on the table, trembled slightly, but the sleeve of his right hand was empty, and it was a one-armed boy.
Xiao Yu's eyes froze suddenly.
That person is none other than the young head of the Heavenly Star Sect, the Heavenly Wolf!
