Chapter 22: The Imperial Capital

The gate of the imperial capital has always been a crowded place, and at the gate of the city, people who want to enter the city are lining up to enter the city one by one. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the team, a pair of two people dressed in cloth clothes and shaped like brothers and sisters are lined up in the team.

"Brother Yu, is this the imperial capital?" Li Yimeng asked,

The two are Nangong Yu and Li Yimeng,

Not long ago, the two passed by a village,

In order to change out of the bloodstained clothes, the two used their silver taels to buy two clothes from the villagers.

"If the map is right, then it's right" Nangong Yu nodded and said,

The security check of the guards was very fast, and the two entered the city in a short time.

"Brother Yu, where are we going now?" Looking at the bustling street in front of him, Li Yimeng asked Nangong Yu,

"This ......" Obviously, the imperial capital is so big, Nangong Yu doesn't know where to go,

At this moment, a plump man walked over,

I saw him smile and say to Nangong Yu and the others, "Two, this is the first time you have come to the imperial capital, right?"

"Well, yes," Li Yimeng said,

"Where do you two want to go?" he looked at Nangong Yu and asked,

“……”,

"The two of you are here to play in the imperial capital," he saw that Nangong Yu didn't speak, so he asked again,

"Yes" Nangong Yu didn't know where to go to find Nangong Sheng at this time, after all, the imperial capital himself was not familiar with it, so he decided to simply follow this person to the imperial capital to have a walk.

"Introduce yourself, my name is Jin Thirteen, I have lived in the imperial capital since I was a child, whether it is the streets and alleys or restaurants and restaurants in this imperial capital, I can be said to know everything" The fat man said proudly, "You are lucky to meet me on the first day you came to the imperial capital",

"But we don't have any money for you," Nangong said playfully,

"Don't make trouble, guest officer, although you are wearing ordinary people's cloth clothes, you don't look like you?" The fat man shook his head and said,

"Oh, why doesn't it look like it, my sister and I fled from the south?" Nangong Yu said again,

"I said, Childe, let's pretend to be a full set, okay?" The fat man looked at Nangong Yu with disdain, "Look at the things on your waist,

"Huh?" Nangong Yu looked at his waist, "What's wrong?",

"Do you think the storage bag hanging around your waist is not obvious enough?" said the fat man angrily, "Have you ever seen a storage bag in an ordinary person?",

"Isn't it?" Li Yimeng said beside him, "All my servants have them?"

"I'll go, how big is the background of these two people, even the servants have storage bags" The fat man said in his heart, "I have to take care of these two masters, maybe this is my chance to develop",

Just when the fat man was making his own calculations, Nangong Yu here also realized this problem, "No wonder the guards didn't dare to search us just now, what happened?",

Nangong Yu stuffed the storage bag around his waist into his arms,

"Yimeng, put away the storage bag, this fat man is right, we are too obvious like this" Nangong Yu said,

"Hmm" Li Yimeng also put the storage bag on his waist into his arms,

Seeing that the two of them had been put away, the fat man said, "Two, have you thought about it? Where to play?",

"Let's go, take us for a walk," Nangong Yu said,

"Okay two, please come here~" The fat man made a gesture of please,

In this way, Nangong Yu and Li Yimeng, under the leadership of the fat man, began to visit the imperial capital.

"In general, the imperial capital is divided into two places, the outer city and the inner city," the fat man introduced as he walked.

"All the streets of the outer city were built around the inner city," the fat man continued, "The outer city was also built later than the inner city, and in a sense, the outer city is an expansion of the inner city".

"Big brother, isn't it the inner city" Li Yimeng pointed to the towering city wall at the end of the street,

"Yes, yes~" The fat man nodded and said, "Go back to the second place, where is the inner city",

"Why is the city wall so high there," Li Yimeng asked again, "I don't think the city walls in the outer city are very high~",

"You're asking me the right question," said the fat man, "and others don't necessarily know, do you?"

"Mm-hmm" Li Yimeng looked at the fat man with curiosity and said, "Fat brother, say it quickly~",

"Hmph~" The fat man cleared his throat and said, "A long time ago, the strength of the human race was still relatively backward, at that time, it was the demon race from outside the world who ruled the mortal world, and the inner city of the imperial capital at that time was the city of the demon people",

"The outer city was built by the later Terrans, while the inner city was built by the demons according to their own requirements"

I saw that the more the fat man said, the more energetic he became, "Legend has it that the body of the demon people is very large, and the body is very strong~".

"No, the fat brother is deceiving people" Li Yimeng stopped him, "In the mortal world, in addition to the human race, there is only the ghost race, the demon race that came",

"Hmph" The fat man was particularly confident in Li Yimeng's questioning, "Little sister, you don't understand too much, you said that there are only two major races in this world, so may I ask the demon spirit clan, how can the dragon god lineage be counted?"

"This?" Li Yimeng was stumped suddenly,

"Then how do you know these things?" Nangong Yu, who had never spoken, suddenly asked,

"Of course I have my own channels" the fat man continued, "It's not me who blows, I know a lot more than you think",

"Yo~ Isn't this a fat man?" A man who was buying fish on the road greeted him, obviously an old acquaintance of the fat man,

"Brother Li, how is business today?" the fat man also responded,

"It's okay, so-so" The man said after seeing Nangong Yu and the two behind the fat man, "Fatty, your business is good~",

The man picked the scales in his hand and said, "Two more people were pulled."

"Haha, Brother Li, you're polite~" The fat man arched his hand,

"Haha, fat man, remember to come to my house to eat fish at night, your sister-in-law will cook herself today" The man said,

"It must be," said the fat man as he walked.

"I didn't expect that your popularity is very good," Nangong Yu said after leaving the market,

"That's, fat man, I have lived in the outer city of this imperial capital since I was a child, and I know all the people here" The fat man patted his chest, "I will find someone to help me find me in the future, I promise to be on call",

"Okay," Nangong Yu said,

In the future, what the fat man didn't expect was that this seemingly joking sentence turned out to be a turning point in his life.

"Here, this is the inner city" The three of them came to the gate of the inner city,

Nangong Yu stepped towards the door, and a soldier suddenly stopped him,

"Hey, call you" A particularly arrogant soldier came to them,

"I'm sorry, but if you want to enter the inner city, you have to pay a fee," said another soldier behind the soldier, his companion.

"Huh?" Nangong Yu looked back at the fat man, intending to ask what was going on,

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you just now, if you want to enter the inner city, you need to pay a certain fee~" The fat man said,

"Oh so~" Nangong Yu left the city gate and walked back,

"Shall we look elsewhere, then?" asked the fat man.

"Okay" Nangong Yu nodded,

"Okay, please here" The fat man once again played the role of a tour guide,

But Nangong Yu looked in the direction of the inner city, and thought in his heart, "Second brother, if they have already arrived in the imperial capital, they should be in the inner city."

"Now let's find a way to make some money first" Nangong Yu's money bag was lost during the previous great escape, so he was penniless at this time, except for those jade talismans in another storage bag, but those are life-saving things,

"Fatty, please ask, how much does it cost to enter the inner city~" Nangong Yu asked,

"What's this?" the fat man replied after a moment's thought, "It should be about a hundred gold coins."

"One hundred, how expensive!" Li Yimeng exclaimed, you must know that Jiang Qiucheng's annual tax is only a thousand gold coins,

"This is a robbery," Li Yimeng pouted and complained,

"So, generally those who enter the inner city are either rich or particularly powerful" The fat man complained, "Ordinary people like us don't want to go in for the rest of their lives",

"And, ah, I've heard about it," the fat man deliberately lowered his voice, "The current inner city, it's very chaotic, I advise you not to go",

"What's wrong" Nangong Yu asked,

"I don't dare to say the specifics, it seems to be related to the destruction of the Wang family last time!" the fat man said cautiously,

"The Wang family, the Wang family," Nangong Yu asked again,

"You go ask someone about this," the fat man seemed to be afraid of something, "don't ask me~".

After speaking, the fat man looked around vigilantly,

"It seems that the imperial capital is not very peaceful," Nangong Yu's heart tightened, "In this case, I must go to the second brother's side as soon as possible."

I saw his fists gradually clenched,

"This young master, are you okay" The fat man saw that Nangong Yu's expression was a little wrong, so he asked,

"It's okay, it's okay" Nangong Yu waved his hand,

"I can see that you really want to enter the imperial capital," said the fat man.

"Yes, I have a reason why I have to go," Nangong Yu said,

"Actually, I advise you not to think about going into the inner city, don't look at the people inside, they are all brightly dressed, and the people who live there look like people," the fat man whispered, "but at night they become different......",

"Oh, what kind of person has become" Nangong Yu laughed,

"I've heard from those who have been in there that the people who live there ......," the fat man said slowly,

"It's all cannibalistic ......",

Quiet...... ,

A gust of cold wind blew behind Nangong Yu and them~
