The imperial capital of Dongji "Jingguang" is subordinate to the territory of the Luo Kingdom. It is located in the central region of Dongji, and is close to the seven vassal states of Xia, Yan, Shu, Mo, Luo, Qi and Han.

Extending in all directions, there are many people who come and go.

It was originally a deserted city in the central region of the Luo Kingdom, because of its special geographical location and specific political situation, it was designated as the capital of the Dongji Emperor today, and under the painstaking management of Fang Bo Liang Yi in the past few years, it gradually had the appearance of the imperial capital of a dynasty.

After the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation", the Dongji countries killed and fought in a melee, the first emperor died, and the prince went into exile without a trace. Jing Xuan, who was originally an important general of the Mingguang Armor of the Shu Kingdom and an important general of the Han Armor Army, after the Shu Kingdom won the first war with the Mexican State, was guided by a woman in black and took thousands of Han Armor troops to leave without saying goodbye and embarked on a journey to find the exiled prince alone.

In the end, after several ups and downs, Jing Xuan, who found the prince, did not bring the prince back to the kingdom of Shu, but instead dedicated it to Liang Yi, who had just turned from an ordinary person to the lord of the Qiguo country at that time.

At this time, the soldiers of the Eight Pillars of Xiji sent Jingwei Pass, intending to complete the unification of the Ji Dynasty by taking advantage of this chaotic war that Dongji could not calm down for a long time. At the critical juncture, Liang Yi and Jing Xuan reached a consensus on Kuang Dongji's recovery. However, considering that it was difficult to accomplish such an arduous grand ambition with the strength of Qiguo alone, Liang Yi took the risk and turned the prince as a bargaining chip to the only Luo country that was not involved in the melee at that time, in exchange for the support of the Luo country, establish the alliance between the two countries, and then take advantage of the dangerous situation of the Xiji invasion and the strength of the alliance between the two countries, persuade the Dongji countries to stop the melee, and gather in Jingweiguan to fight to the death with the Xiji Eight Pillars!

It is known as the "Jingwei Pass Alliance" in history.

After the first battle of Jingweiguan, Liang Yi, the lord of Qiguo, known as the "lord of cloth", was famous all over the world, and the Dongji Dynasty was successfully recovered with the efforts of everyone.

The Son of Heaven was grateful for the grace of heaven, and Liang Yi's loyalty and sincerity, appointed Liang Yi as the uncle, and opened the palace in the imperial capital "Jingguang".

Being able to open a mansion in the imperial capital will mean that Liang Yi can have his own independent office power and institutions, without anyone's supervision and jurisdiction, and he is really under one person and above ten thousand people.

So, what is Fang Bo?

At the beginning of Ji, "the Son of Heaven founded the country, and the princes established their families".

After the fall of the Ember Dynasty, Emperor Mu Jing of Jiwu appointed the royal family meritorious and Yi relatives as the chiefs of the princes in the vassal states he divided, and on behalf of the royal family to pacify one side, called "Fang Bo".

The original Fang Bo has been held by the lords of the Xia State in successive dynasties, until the "Chiyan Rebellion" divided the east and west, and the combined forces of Xia and Han were almost destroyed by the Chiyan warriors. Killing and fighting, Lile collapsed, and finally the country of Shuguo participated in the war to quell the "Chiyan Rebellion", and many years later, the advent of the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation" once again made the ill-fated Mu royal family worse.

I have to admit that the appearance of Liang Yi is like a starlight in the dark night for the orthodox Mu royal family, that is, the Dongji Dynasty. The literati of the entire Dongji Dynasty saw the hope of the unification of the Ji Dynasty in this starlight.

The imperial capital "Jingguang", although it is located in the territory of the Luo Kingdom, there are also 30,000 "Xuanjia Army" of the Luo Kingdom stationed all year round in case of emergency, but in fact, it is mainly governed by Liang Yi, who is the uncle of Fang, and is directly responsible to the Son of Heaven.

Jing Xuan, the former Mingguang Armor of the former Shu Kingdom and an important general of the Hanjia Army, was named the commander of the imperial royal forbidden army "Changling" by the Son of Heaven because of the dire situation of the Son of Heaven and the establishment of outstanding military exploits during the First Battle of Jingwei Pass, responsible for the garrison and order of the imperial capital.

Today's Dongji Imperial Capital "Jingguang", under Liang Yi's management in the past few years, has gradually had the appearance of the emperor of a dynasty. For the Dongji Dynasty during this period, Liang Yi was a well-deserved hero.

Prosperity, order, tranquility and brilliance.

Literati and writers are gradually returning to their hearts, pouring ink poems to praise the prosperous times, people with lofty ideals have traveled thousands of miles to gather in the imperial capital for their great fame, and giants and families gather here to add icing on the cake to the prosperity that has been lost and regained.

It is better to come early than to come by chance.

......

When Yun Fan and the others arrived at the imperial capital, it was the afternoon of October 6. On this day, Meng Jian just arrived at Mingyue City, the capital of the Shu Kingdom, just before dusk.

On October 4th, Yun Fan and his entourage landed in Guanlan City in the territory of Luoguo, and then they didn't even have time to rest, and went directly to the imperial capital without stopping, and arrived at their destination in only two days.

This journey can make Wang Gongzi, who has not exercised for a long time, tired, so before arriving at the imperial capital, Wang Miaozhou applied with Yun Fan, and after arriving in the imperial capital, he and Yun Fan "acted separately". Yun Fan went to Jing Xuan to say "business", while he wanted to have a good pastime and relax.

Yun Fan agreed to Lao Wang's application, but he was worried that Lao Wang would cause trouble in the emperor's capital, so he asked Situ to accompany Wang Miaozhou in case of emergency.

Before leaving, Yun Fan gave Wang Miaozhou and Situ Zhongqing a golden ticket of 100,000 yuan, and repeatedly reminded the two: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, be careful when you speak, we are here to do something, don't make trouble!"

"Don't worry, I'm very discerning! You can do your business with peace of mind!" As soon as the words fell, Wang Miaozhou pulled Situ Zhongqing and ran away. Looking at the backs of Wang Miaozhou and Situ Zhongqing, Yun Fan didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Soon after the landing of Luoguo, Yun Fan wrote a letter to Jing Xuan, who was already the commander of the forbidden army in the imperial capital at this time. And Jing Xuan's address is "kindly provided" by our prince of Tianqiong City.

The prince of Tianqiong City, the road has always been very wild.

People have never been to the imperial capital, let alone the imperial capital, and they have already had a clear understanding of the general situation and customs in this city in advance, which also saved Yun Fan a lot of unnecessary trouble in the process of visiting Jingxuan next.

Although Yun Fan didn't want to admit it, the facts told him that there are many problems in this world, and once you have money, it really doesn't matter anymore.

Standing outside the gate of the imperial capital, in the endless flow of people, Yun Fan was a little in a trance, as if he had returned to Mirror Moon City, which was still the imperial capital of Dongji many years ago.

The wide city gate is majestic, and can accommodate five princes' carriages at the same time, and the Zhumen is decorated with glazed tiles, and there are powerful and majestic soldiers guarding both sides of the city gate at all times.

It wasn't until I looked up that I found that the word "Mirror Moon" was not engraved on the city gate, but "Jingguang". The soldiers guarding the city gate looked solemn, and their outfits were a bit like the Mingguang armor of the long-cherished country. Due to the fact that there have been many bizarre disappearances in the imperial capital during this time, the investigation of past business trips is a little stricter than before.

Yun Fan didn't speak, his expression was solemn and solemn.

He bought a map of Jingguang City from the vendors outside the city gate, as well as a hat to shade the sun, and blended in with the bustling crowd. When the long wind passes, many previous events have quietly dissipated in my heart. But he didn't know that a pair of alert eyes had already quietly stared at him when he stepped into the mouth of this "greedy beast".

The people of the imperial capital are hospitable and straightforward.

Wang Miaozhou, who "acted separately" from Yun Fan, took Situ Zhongqing to the world-famous Jingshi Wine Hall first, and ordered the most authentic Jingshi roast chicken.

"Jingshi Roast Chicken" was originally a court delicacy of the former dynasty.

The ingredient is high-quality rooster, and he grew up drinking rice wine. When baking, the sunken wood is used as charcoal fire, the color is ruddy, the meat is fat but not greasy, the outside is crispy and the inside is tender, the taste is mellow, and it is known as "the world's delicacy".

"Jingshi Roast Chicken" can only be eaten in the imperial capital of Dongji. There was such a joke about "Kyoshi roast chicken". It is said that before the start of the First World War in Jingweiguan, a literati from Dongji was unexpectedly exiled to the imperial capital of Xiji, "Baihua City", but did not eat "Jingshi Roast Chicken".

So this literati made a lot of nonsense, saying everywhere that it was difficult for the Xiji Dynasty to be orthodox, because the Xiji Empress Muzhi not only did not have a heirloom jade seal, but also did not have a "Jingshi roast chicken".

(At that time, the Dongji Emperor had been destroyed by the Heavenly Fire Tribulation, and Xiji declared that he was the orthodox Ji Dynasty during that period, which attracted the contempt of many literati and scholars)

Annoyed and angry, Mu Zhi immediately killed this literati, gathered eight powerful countries loyal to her in Xiji, and launched a war of unification against the Dongji Dynasty.

Of course, a joke is a joke after all, and the actual political situation is certainly not what the people rumor. But it is precisely because of such a ridiculous story that the name of "Jingshi Roast Chicken" has become known to more people on the original basis.

In the lively Jingshi University Restaurant, Situ Zhong squatted on the bench, which made Wang Miaozhou frown: "What are you doing here?"

Situ Zhong followed Wang Miaozhou's gaze and immediately understood his doubts, so he smiled: "The old habit of running the rivers and lakes, I won't pay attention to it for a while." ”

Wang Miaozhou put his arm around Situ's shoulder: "We are now in the world-famous Jingshi Grand Restaurant, we must eat and sit, and we must sit on a statue, my prince of Tianqiong City is also a decent person, in case I meet some acquaintances here and see me coming out to eat with a monkey, you are not ashamed, I am ashamed of you!"

Situ listened to it, got down from the bench and sat upright, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Wang Gongzi is angry!"

Wang Miaozhou glared at him and didn't speak.

At this time, the shopkeeper had already presented the delicious "Jingshi Roast Chicken" and asked enthusiastically: "Two guest officers, do you want anything more?"

Wang Miaozhou thought for a while: "Two more pots of beauties to get drunk." ”

"Beauty drunk" is a kind of liquor, and it is also only available in the central region of Dongji. Of course, there are other places with the same name, but most of them don't taste authentic. As a technical sake brewing, "beauty drunk" has high requirements for temperature and brewing skills.

The shopkeeper wrote down the name: "Okay!"

Before the shopkeeper turned around, Wang Miaozhou suddenly stopped the shopkeeper again, and asked the shopkeeper very politely and in a low voice: "That little second brother, may I ask where is the most delicious flower wine in our imperial capital?"

The shopkeeper smiled and whispered to Wang Miaozhou: "That is naturally the Yanyu Building in the south of the city at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the second ring outside the palace. ”

Situ Zhongqing was eating roast chicken on the side, and at the same time watched Wang Miaozhou continue to ask the shopkeeper very seriously: "Then do you have a carriage that goes directly to Yanyulou here?" ”

Between the words, Wang Miaozhou took out a gold coin from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper saw that it was a gold coin, his eyes narrowed and he smiled: "As long as the guest officer needs it, the small one will be arranged for you." ”

Wang Miaozhou said with satisfaction: "When I finish eating with my brother, there will be a little brother who will bother." ”

The shopkeeper said: "The guest officer is serious, when the time comes, you will eat, give a shout, and the small one will be on call!"

At this time, the people in the other seat began to call the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper: "If there is nothing else to do, the little one will be busy first!"

Situ Zhongqing: "I remember we just ordered two pots of wine!"

Shopkeeper: "Remember, two pots of beauties are drunk, and the small ones will be arranged for the two guest officers!"

Wang Miaozhou: "Disturbance!"

After the shopkeeper turned around, Situ Zhong officially enjoyed the "Jingshi Roast Chicken", which is known as the delicious food in the world, and gradually "looked hideous". Wang Miaozhou, who had just picked up chopsticks, lost his appetite immediately after seeing Situ Zhongqing's cruel eating appearance, so he asked the shopkeeper to make another one, planning to take it with him, and eat it on the way.

In fact, before coming to the imperial capital, Wang Miaozhou had already inquired about these clearly, such as where to eat and drink, where to have fun, the reason why he wanted to ask the shopkeeper was to check the accuracy of the information, and to see if there was a "one-stop service", which would save Wang Gongzi a lot of unnecessary wasted time.

When the wine was served, Wang Miaozhou drank and looked around the lively Jingshi University Restaurant. The gold is the wall, the jade is the step, the wood carving railing of the labyrinth mountain, equipped with top food, first-class cooks, and enthusiastic shopkeepers. The entire large wine hall has a total of six floors, which can accommodate 1,000 people at the same time to enjoy the delicious "Jingshi Roast Chicken".

After seven days of wandering at sea and two days of traveling, Wang Miaozhou can finally stop and enjoy this rare beauty. Delicious and good wine, preferably with a beautiful woman in your arms. For the prince of Tianqiong City, this is life.

In fact, today's Dongji Imperial Capital, although it has become increasingly brilliant after several years of operation in the hands of Liang Yi, it cannot be compared with Tianqiong City, which has been glorious for more than 600 years. However, our prince does not pick, although this Dongji Emperor is not as prosperous as Tianqiong City, but there are all things that should be here, and there are many things that Tianqiong City does not have, such as the "Jingshi Roast Chicken" that was rumored to have triggered the first battle of Jingwei Pass, as well as the wine and food with the flavor of Dongji, and women.

For Wang Miaozhou, the most beautiful thing in the world is not money, but women. Although he was once heartbroken by a woman, in this era of portraying women, Wang Miaozhou did not follow the crowd. Don't look at him who often indulges in fireworks and wind and moon, but deep down he always longs for a sweet love.

It's just that with the growth of age and experience, these have gradually become the past that Wang Miaozhou does not mention to others. Although later, when he learned that Meng Jian had written these past events they had experienced together into a story, Wang Miaozhou repeatedly emphasized to Meng Jian: "When you write about me, you must write that I drink flower wine!"

Meng Jian didn't understand, Wang Gongzi always said that although he had drunk countless flower wines, he never bowed his head to the loyalty in his heart. Perhaps, he will never understand this sentence in his life.

For Situ Zhongqing, who was sitting opposite him and devouring it, Wang Miaozhou was actually full of curiosity, and wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to be alone with this extraordinary Jianghu man, but after seeing his eating appearance, Wang Miaozhou chose to see if there were any beautiful girls around, and listened to what the people of the imperial capital at the next table usually talked about at the dinner table.

"Hey, have you heard, not long ago, the prince Yun Fan who disappeared in the Shu Kingdom suddenly returned, and he also brought back the Chiyan warriors who had disappeared for nearly twenty years, as well as a group of barbarians. ”

"I heard about it a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to come back. ”

"What's the matter, isn't it right that he is the son of the country of his dreams and returns to the country of his dreams?"

"You don't know?"

"What do you know?"

"Don't you know anything about what this long-cherished prince Yun Fan did when he was in Beilu?"

"I don't know!

"At that time, Yun Fan, the son of the long-cherished country, after going to Beilu, directly worshiped the prince of the prayer department as his father, and then killed the whole family of the prince of the "prayer" department, and dedicated the "prayer" department to the hostile tribe "Long", and worshiped the prince of the "Long" department as his father, and then because of the war with the largest tribe in the North Continent "cliff", he found that the remnants of the "Sa" department that were almost wiped out that year, and became the war slave of the "cliff" department, so this Yun Fan didn't know what to think, and suddenly turned his knife to the "Long" and gave the head of the prince of the "Long" department The lord of the "Cliff" department, and swore allegiance to fight for the lord of the "Cliff" department, in exchange for the freedom of the remnants of the "Sa" department. ”

"Really, it's fake? It's not appropriate to be a good son of the country, and he went to Beilu to be a slave to those barbarians, is this Yun Fan crazy!"

"But it's not, what's even more incredible is that this prince of the Su Kingdom, with the help of the Cliff Department, actually reorganized the Sa Department and turned into the prince of the Sa Department today!"

"He was once a famous general of our Dongji!"

"At the beginning, no one knew that the prince of the Sabu was this Yun Fan, if he didn't come back from Beilu, no one would know that this Yun Fan was the same person as the notorious three-surnamed house slave in Beilu!"

"Oh, don't mention it! In retrospect, it's a shame!"

"There are also rumors that our famous general went to Hokuriku to explore the mystery of his life experience!"

"The mystery of his life experience? He is not the illegitimate son of the original lord of the kingdom of Shu? If not, why would the bloody eyes and frosthoof of that divine beast of the kingdom of Shu listen to him?!"

"I heard, this Yun Fan is very likely to be the only son born to Yun Han, the barbarian king of the Sabu and the county lord of the Shu Kingdom, that is, the sister of Yun Chen, the former lord of the Shu Kingdom!

"Where did you hear that?"

"My uncle who used to be in Beilu Trade Tea, and who just returned to the imperial capital recently, told me!

"Ya, from the prince of the state of Shuguo to the prince of the Sabu department, from the illegitimate son to the descendant of the barbarian queen, from the famous general of Dongji to the slave of the three surnames, this Yun Fan has lived a legend in the past few years!"

"But isn't it, now these three family slaves have actually recovered the Chiyan warriors who caused our Ji Dynasty to split into East and West Ji from the yellow sand of the North Continent, it seems that the peaceful and prosperous world that our Uncle Fang has created with great difficulty is about to be destroyed again!"

"Alas, and those barbarians!

"Not only that, I heard that Xiji has been waiting for an opportunity recently, so he must be waiting for some opportunity to invade our Dongji again!"

"It's only been a long time since the peace of life!"

"Why did this Yun Fan come back? Why didn't he die in Beilu!"

"That's it, every time I see and hear the news of the Chiyan Samurai, it's nothing good, no wonder my right eyelid has been jumping for the past few days!"

"I hope Master Fang Bo has his own countermeasures!"

"God bless Dongji!"

......

The conversation at the next table made Wang Miaozhou a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect to listen to this casually, but he actually heard about his brother's bad deeds.

Wang Miaozhou couldn't believe that Yun Fan's days in Beilu had such ups and downs, and it was no wonder that when he was adrift at sea before, Wang Miaozhou asked Yun Fan about this past, and Yun Fan chose to avoid answering.

This is indeed a disgraceful past.

As the son of the country, he was a famous general of Dongji in the past.

Wang Miaozhou didn't expect that Yun Fan would pay such a big price in order to explore the mystery of his life experience, which is no longer something that can be described as ruined!

After learning about this from other people's chatter, Wang Miaozhou, combined with Yun Fan's arrogance that he smashed other people's fields on the night he was in Tianqiong City, and he seemed to have no regard for any consequences. Wang Miaozhou felt that Yun Fan after the reunion was like an outlaw.

Situ Zhongqing, who was eating roast chicken on the side, naturally heard what the diners at the next table were talking about, and the most important thing in running the rivers and lakes was to watch and listen to all directions. Wang Miaozhou, who came back to his senses, understood what he was thinking from Situ's affectionate eyes.

Wang Miaozhou: "I heard what they said just now." ”

Situ nodded affectionately, seeing that Wang Miaozhou didn't speak, he shook his head again, Wang Miaozhou put his arm around his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "It's better that you don't hear anything, not only that, but I don't know anything, if someone asks, let's pretend not to know, no! We really don't know anything." ”

Situ Zhongqing kept nodding while nibbling on the chicken legs, Wang Miaozhou continued: "Knowing too much, it is easy to attract death, you know what I mean, right?"

Situ nodded affectionately: "Understood, understood!"

Wang Miaozhou patted him on the shoulder: "It's good to understand!"

Situ Zhong rolled his eyes and asked, "Then will we go to that building later?"

Wang Miaozhou: "Go! Of course you go! This doesn't matter!"

Situ Zhongyi: "Wang Gongzi is really a decent person!"

Wang Miaozhou: "Lao Tzu is still a particular person!"

Situ Zhongqing: "In the future, the little ones will be mixed with Wang Gongzi!"

Wang Miaozhou: "They are all their own brothers, don't be small all the time, you can call me Lao Wang in the future, understand?"

Situ Zhongqing: "Understood!"

Wang Miaozhou took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, his eyes gradually deepened: "There are too many troubles in this world, when I used to have no money, I thought that there would be no worries when I had money, but now I find that there are more troubles than before!"

Situ Zhongqing: "It's better than sleeping in the open!"

Wang Miaozhou: "That's nature, so ah! If life is proud, get drunk and sing today!"

Situ smiled lovingly: "Drink flower wine, drink flower wine!"

Wang Miaozhou smiled back: "Although most of the women in this Fengyue Field are ruthless, they are all very gentle, women! They are really the most interesting creations in the world! It's a pity, if you don't have money, don't even think about it!"

Situ smiled fondly: "If you don't have any money, you can steal it!"

Wang Miaozhou: "If you let Lao Tzu steal, it's better to ask Lao Tzu to rob it, what's the difference? It's the same nature, it's not decent enough!"

Situ Zhongqing: "Then change the word, borrow! Jianghu rescue! Brother Wang is satisfied? This is decent enough, is it exquisite enough!"

Wang Miaozhou asked in a low voice: "Or, you teach me two hands?"

Situ Zhongqing: "Brother Wang, is this going to worship me as a teacher?"

Wang Miaozhou: "It depends on whether Brother Situ appreciates his face." ”

"Tuition fees can be a bit expensive. ”

Wang Miaozhou: "In the future, Brother Situ will go out with me, and eating, drinking and having fun will be counted as mine!"

As he spoke, a man happened to walk past Situ Zhongqing. Wang Miaozhou saw Situ Zhongqing's hand move, but he didn't see it clearly, with the corners of Situ Zhongqing's grinning mouth, Wang Miaozhou concluded that Situ Zhongqing had made a move just now!

Situ Zhongqing: "This trick is called a star picker!"

Wang Miaozhou: "This seems to be very difficult, is there a quick success? is it the kind of thing that can be learned in a short time by looking at it more and practicing more?"

Situ Zhong thought about it: "Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, Situ Zhongqing broke his fingers, making a gurgling sound, and the wallet that had just been stolen by Situ Zhongqing appeared in Wang Miaozhou's arms at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and dropped a bag with Wang Miaozhou's wallet, which frightened Wang Miaozhou and said: "Hiss!"

Situ Zhongqing: "This trick is called the moon hand." ”

The principle of Situ Zhong's love for this move is to gather the true qi in the body to his fingertips, and then wait for the opportunity to explode instantaneously to complete an extremely fast "stealing the sky and changing the day".

In fact, with a lot of practice, you can easily learn it. But the important thing is that the "month-by-month style" focuses on moving flowers and trees, but the "star-picking style" is wonderful in not asking about yourself.

It's a move, but it's more like a trick.

Wang Miaozhou's reaction startled Situ Zhongqing.

After a short period of surprise, Wang Miaozhou's eyes suddenly flashed with strange excitement, and that look was no different from when Wang Miaozhou saw a beautiful woman on weekdays.

Wang Miaozhou: "I'll learn this!"

Situ Zhongqing: "Why is Brother Wang suddenly interested and wants to learn these tricks from me? It's just a meal of roast chicken!"

Wang Miaozhou: "Because, later, we will go to the Yanliu Tower in the imperial capital to break through!"

Situ Zhongqing: "The golden ticket of 100,000 gold, Brother Wang has one, I have one here, it is completely enough in the imperial capital, and the price here is not calculated based on gold." ”

Wang Miaozhou: "It has nothing to do with money!"

Situ Zhongqing: "Does it have anything to do with the technique?"

Wang Miaozhou: "Not bad!"

Situ Zhongqing: "What does Brother Wang want to do?"

Wang Miaozhou smiled: "Steal your heart!"

Situ Zhong didn't know what Wang Miaozhou was talking about, but he felt like he was so powerful, so he threw an embarrassed but polite smile at him and took another bite of chicken thigh.

Maybe this is the world of the rich, he still needs time to slowly adapt to this life trajectory that is different from the past.
