Kyoto was the capital of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was the giant of the Eastern Territory, which shows how important this capital is to the Eastern Soil.

Since the establishment of the capital, with the increasing population, Kyoto has been expanded several times, the city walls have been strengthened, and the formation has been repaired, this giant city can be said to be impregnable, and the huge city wall of nearly 100 zhang high is like a sky fall, which can isolate any danger, although it has never been experimented, because it has been unknown how many years no one or something can stand to threaten the rule of the Han Dynasty.

The only place in the city that is higher than the city wall is a large hall in the depths of the palace, the buildings outside the palace because of the provisions of the law, are all lower than the city wall, this is an iron law, it is said that there was once a prince, high merit, won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, but the biggest habit is to like beautiful women, as a result, a golden jade pavilion was built in the city, which is the collection of the world's beauties, who knows that after the completion of the construction, the pavilion spire is actually half a foot higher than the city wall, the prince wanted to kill the group of craftsmen at first, and then thought about it, he made an immortal contribution, but half a foot higher than the city wall, it is expected that there will be no problem, and a status of his ownIt is not an exaggeration to say that one person is above ten thousand people, and this pavilion is worthy of his own status, so after giving rewards to those craftsmen, he also expelled them from Kyoto City.

As for later, the prince died of a violent illness within half a year, and its attachment gradually declined, and it was rumored that everything was only because the high half of the pavilion affected the luck of the royal family, so the prince was secretly removed, as for the pavilion, it was also destroyed in an abnormal fire, and from then on, the weighing in the five dared to make an exception.

Today's Kyoto Castle also has a lot of magnificent buildings, such as the restaurant Juxianzhai under the sky, the Eight Treasure Building, the library pavilions of the major academies, and the main halls of many royal palaces. The latter is hidden in the Hou Gate, and although the former is in the downtown area, even most of the officials of the imperial court can only watch from afar, and only the real royal family is qualified to enter.

But not all the world is beautiful, behind the prosperity is hidden all kinds of sadness that no one knows, Kyoto is unimaginably big, in addition to the prosperity of the central area, there are also slums in the marginal areas, here are mostly abandoned because of the expansion, the imperial court once spent a lot of money to renovate but did not work, and then it was abandoned, so it became a place for beggars, homeless, gangs.

It's a small and inconspicuous shop, not close to the edge, but it's also far from the bustling area, and although there have been hooligans who have come to make trouble, no one dares to go too far, especially since the last time it happened, and no one dares to come to find trouble.

A beautiful woman was washing the dishes she had prepared today, while a little girl next to her was doing it. "It's been a few days since I went, and I didn't have a letter, even if I couldn't pass the exam, I wouldn't be ashamed to continue to wash me, where are those academies so easy to enter. The woman muttered.

Next to her, the little girl listened to her sister-in-law's muttering voice, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, Xiao Yanzi has been gone for several days, and she should be finished with the exam." ”

After hearing this, the woman thought for a while and said, "Isn't it true that you passed the test, and if that's the case, it's reasonable not to come back." "Say it, sighed.

After hearing this, the little girl puffed up and said, "This one who has no conscience, doesn't he think about who gave him the travel fee in the first place?"

After hearing this, the woman touched her head and said, "You are still young, how do you know that men are the most unconscionable things in the world, except for your brother, of course." ”

Unknowingly, the two of them had sentenced Ji Yan to death, and regarded him as one of the people who had no conscience and were ungrateful.

"Boss, bring me your best and most expensive dish, it's hard to eat, you don't have to worry about money. A voice in a strange dialect came from outside.

After hearing this, the proprietress first glanced at the outside with disdain, and then secretly mocked herself: "There is something to do with the big white garlic, what expensive things can this small shop have, I have the ability to go to Qingyunlou on the street to shout like this, and I guarantee to eat you to death." ”

"It's coming, it's coming. Although he was displeased, he still had to do business according to his heart, so he got up and walked to the front hall, "What do you want to eat, our most expensive is-" Before he finished speaking, he was stunned by the person in front of him.

Dressed in a blue gown, the style was simple, but just at a glance she knew that the fabric was better than the best silk she had ever seen in the red embroidery workshop, although she had only seen it for a few days, but she felt that the other party was already a little strange.

"What, boss, don't you know each other?" Ji Yan looked at the other party's gaze, and instantly understood: "Oh, I know, do you think that this son is now as beautiful as jade, and his demeanor is peerless, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, I think I Ji Yan is also a talent, some time ago it was just a pearl covered with dust, and now it can be regarded as a fish jumping into the sea and an eagle striking the sky." Ji Yan said narcissistically.

Listening to the chattering and chattering, the proprietress had no previous doubts, and said with an unprecedented smile: "Look at Uncle Yan's dress, it must be a good mix, in this case, is it also to pay back the money owed for eating and living for nothing earlier." ”

"It's not that I said you, boss, first of all, I didn't eat and live for nothing before, I also worked to pay off my debts, and besides, I said that I had good food and lodging, but I can't cheat. ”

"Phew, how many times have you been lazy under the guise of exams and asked Ayi to do the work and you thought I didn't know?"

"Not a few times, no, not at all. Besides, you asked me to pay back the money just after I came back, it hurts my feelings, although, I'm really not bad for money now. Ji Yan thought about his 10,000 taels of gold, and said with confidence.

"Yo, it seems that you are really out of luck, you are really admitted to the academy?" asked the proprietress still in disbelief, although she had already thought of it in her heart.

"That's nature, and it's not an ordinary academy, it's the most famous Tenichi Academy in Kyoto. ”

She naturally didn't know which Tianyi Academy was, but in her opinion, it was definitely not ordinary people who could enter the academy, and she didn't seem to have seen this young man who seemed to be a fisherman before.

"I said boss, you really plan to let me stand like this, I'm really hungry, praise Xiaoli to burn me a few pig's trotters, I will have important news to announce later, this meal is mine. After Ji Yan finished speaking, he walked to the table and sat down and crossed Erlang's legs, looking like the second uncle, so leisurely.

"Eat and eat, you will know how to eat, and sooner or later you will be killed. The proprietress said yes, but walked to the back kitchen, and could see that she was also happy.

At this moment, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the door, Ji Yan frowned, looked out of the door, and more than a dozen men in gray coats surrounded him, and then, a familiar voice came: "Boy, I have been waiting for you for several days, and I finally waited for you back." ”

A few people got out of the way, leaving a gap, and a burly man with a scar on his face walked in, and Ji Yan fixed his eyes and saw that it was his old acquaintance Brother Xiong.

Brother Xiong glanced at Ji Yan and said, "Where did you kid steal the clothes, the person dressed like a dog." ”

Ji Yan sneered, the clothes were sent by the maid when he was in the Yang Mansion, I don't know which god general was prepared for back then, and now they are given to him.

"What, you're here to find a venue today?" Ji Yan said in the same tone as he had been before.

"Boy, the gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, Lao Tzu is a villain, revenge is naturally as soon as possible, this time I invited a master, there is a kind of you don't run. Brother Xiong said.

"Master?" Ji Yan sneered, "I really want to see what master you can invite." Ji Yan was not afraid at all, not to mention that he had already cultivated in the Divine Realm, his status as a first-class public was enough to make many people look up.

"It's not a master, it's just a servant, you were killed in a fight a few days ago, and now you are going back with me to be investigated. A servant in a red official uniform, with a long knife at his waist, said to Ji Yan.

The proprietress and the others came out together when they heard the voices outside, and they were a little stunned when they saw the situation in front of them, and they were about to speak, but Ji Yan stretched out his hand to signal, giving her a reassuring look, and then said to Brother Xiong: "This is your master? ”
