The south gate and the west gate of the imperial capital are the 'civilian gate', that is, the main gate, the common people, and the dignitaries all go back and forth from this gate, the east gate is the territory of the guards, and the north gate belongs to the royal family.

There are many waterways outside the south gate, and most of them are connected by flat boats, and the number of people is far less than that of the dry road of the west gate.

The city wall of the west gate is three zhang high, and the brown wall bricks are mottled.

The two-storey tower above the city gate is mighty and domineering, the north and south occupy an area of more than ten zhang, there are soldiers standing guard posts at the horse-faced battlements on the city wall, wearing black and red martial arts, wearing dark armor is very eye-catching, plus every soldier is not smiling, and there is an extra solemn atmosphere in an instant.

The floodgates were wide open, and there was already a long queue in front of the high and wide city gates, the soldiers had left a small opening with iron bars, a flat table was laid aside, several military attachés were inspected, and a civilian official was recorded.

The monks lined up, and there was no shortage of whispers, but most of them were silent.

The monk reported the boundary, the sect personnel, and the civil officials inquired and reviewed the token, and the process was orderly, and it didn't take long for Xia Yi's turn to do so.

Xia Yigui is the prince's son, and he was grounded in the palace when he was seven years old, and he was not allowed to participate in royal affairs, resulting in officials and ordinary people who had never seen the appearance of this prince.

"What's the matter with entering the city?" a guard greeted.

"Panlong feast. Xia Yi replied.

"Oh, then please show the token. The soldier's tone softened.

Xia Yi took out a brown wooden card, held it in his hand, and lifted it slightly, the wooden card had an extra circle of white soft light, and then extinguished, the soldier nodded when he saw this, and respectfully led Xia Yi to the civilian table.

The civil servant had a book in front of him, lit the table, and asked, "Which school and which school?" ”

Xia Yi said: ", Chapter 3. ”

The civil official drummed in his mouth: "Sidha Mountain Mixed Yuan Gate...... The ...... of the Mixed Yuan Sect of Siddha Mountain kept knocking on the table with his hands, and the thick thin book turned the pages by himself, and the 'swish' stopped at the first edition very quickly, and the civil official looked for a few seconds with his palm, and finally found this small sect between a short line of words.

Raised his head and was a little surprised: "Is there really just one person here, don't you need the division commander to lead the team?"

Xia Yi: "Small sect, there are not enough people, so I can only come alone." ”

The civil official shook his head: "You can be invited to the Panlong Banquet, you are also a golden phoenix in the grass nest......"

"Not really. Xia Yi smiled copedly.

The civil official pushed an inkstone-like utensil next to him in front of Xia Yi, "Let's drop blood." ”

Xia Yi understands that in order to prevent impersonation, invitations and tokens will be sent by royal personnel, and every invited disciple will recognize the owner of the token under their surveillance, recording information for easy identification.

The information collected will be included in this inkstone-like spiritual weapon for the inspection of the participants.

Xia Yi bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood into the inkstone, the inkstone swallowed Xia Yi's blood, the black light lit up, and the civil official nodded and motioned for the guards to let him go.

After Xia Yi walked into the city gate, the civil official and the soldier chatted: "Didn't you stay in Xisai, I remember that Situo Mountain is in that area, have you heard of this mixed yuan gate?"

The soldier also smiled: "Siddha Mountain is just behind our barracks, it is so deserted that it is not like a place where a person lives, and I have never heard of it......"

When the civil official received the next monk, he stopped complaining and muttered: "It's just a small sect......

----------------------------------------

After walking through the long doorway, it is the urn city, with high walls on all sides, the black-armored guards stood on both sides, and they had to draw a path in this clearing, and followed the monks and people into the last doorway, the same as the previous doorway, wide and long, the zenith was open but there was still a sense of oppression, Xia Yi looked at the end, several figures swayed, and the grassland was different, the sky in Kyoto was sunny and warm, and the breeze was just right.

The doorway shrouded in darkness still does not forget to leave two lights for others to choose, but many times, the fear of the light exit of people in the dark often comes from the unknown, whether they were born in the darkness or not, he still lacks the light, a person in the dark adapts to walking in the dark, and the way out of the light given at this time is actually in their eyes to see the things behind the light, and they rush back to the light, which must be missing.

Xia Yi stepped out of the door, the last rays of sunlight in Kyoto brushed the tips of Xia Yi's hair and retracted above the clouds, the sky was dark, and the breeze was restless.

And the change in this way out is only a few breaths of effort.

The guards in front of the door shouted to him: "All the distinguished guests invited to the Panlong Banquet, the weather is not good, please go straight along this street and move to the Star Picking Tower, which is the accommodation arranged by Xia Guo for you......"

"I heard that this star-picking tower is a space spirit weapon handed down by the ancestors of the Cang family, and it can accommodate more than 10,000 people......"

"Wow, I've heard of it too, think about the fact that the current space spirit weapons can't hold living creatures, think about the Star Picking Tower......"

"Tsk, I heard that I bought it...... The Xia Dynasty is really wealthy......"

Xia Yi bypassed the crowd and walked towards the house.

Walking north, the shops were extinct, the mansions were becoming more and more gorgeous, and the crowd was getting smaller and smaller, and he had crossed the noble area, and in front of him was the territory of the royal mansion.

The last shop in Dongtou Market is a wonton stall, chopsticks and spoons with two pots and three wooden barrels, plus two black square tables, such a simple is the result of the ancestors of several generations, if it weren't for this wonton hooked the stomach of a lot of nobles in Beicheng, this shop would have been swallowed up.

When Xia Yi was trapped in the house, for a while, his sister lamented that the food was tasteless, and Fu Shouyi changed a few cooks in a row and sent a gift to invite the imperial chef in the palace, Xia Ling'er still sighed sullenly, which was regarded as the top priority by Xia Yi at that time, and even gave his sister the opportunity to summon the imperial doctor only once a year......

"Is it so delicious?" Xia Yi's cold little face shook the corners of her mouth, the grandmother of the wonton shop was busy with herself, her thin son was starting, the two tables were already full of people, and most of the rest were people who brought their own utensils to pack.

Fu Shouyi and Li Zhen were dressed in civilian clothes, and they had been waiting by the wonton shop for a long time, and they didn't say much when they saw Shizi, and walked towards the royal area, Xia Yi joined the team and followed behind.

Approaching the Panlong Banquet, there were not a few patrols along the way, and when they saw Fu Shouyi, they couldn't stop shouting: "I've seen the hussar general." "Wait until Fu Shouyi and his party move forward before they dare to leave.

Except for the doorman in front of the mansion of the dignitaries and the guards on the street, there were no other figures. Bypass a few roads, you can see a red wall rushing into sight from afar, this high city wall is the outer gate wall of the palace, and soon turn a street corner to the east, you can see two squatting lions, which are much larger than the stone lions in front of the rest of the mansions, the carving is exquisite, lifelike, just this piece of decoration is a mighty atmosphere.

Similarly, behind the squatting lion, a large plaque inlaid with gold stripes is hung above the door screen, and the "Subei Palace" with a black background and a deficit has a kind of golden heroism.

The main gate was bright and well maintained, and the two guards sent by the royal family were still standing guard at the door, Fu Shouyi signaled Li Zhen to stop and stepped forward himself.

"Humble to meet the hussar general. The two guards knelt down.

"Hmm. Fu Shouyi responded, "There can be movement in the house." ”

The guard replied: "There was no major event in the day after the general left, the prince did not release the scroll, he spent the night in the study last night, and he has not left the study now." ”

"Okay, hard work. ”

"Don't dare. ”

Fu Shouyi waved his hand to Li Zhen and stepped into the mansion.

Even though the two guards lowered their heads, they still glanced at Li Zhen's team sharply, but fortunately, they moved quickly and entered the palace, and nothing happened.

Facing is a porch, outside the corridor is a welcome small pond, stacked rockeries are scattered, Xia Ling'er's favorite koi fish is running through the lotus bottom, the water surface swirls from time to time, foaming at the white foam......

The small pond in front of this door is still in memory, and it has not been out of the inner door for more than ten years.

Next to the pond is a corridor that leads to a circular opening, the inner gate, that connects the inside and outside of the house.

After Xia Yi returned home, he arranged some matters in the study and dismissed the team, leaving Fu Shouyi to explain the rest.

Fu Shouyi nodded, indicating that no one was listening, Xia Yi said: "Uncle will go to Emperor Li after the report, remember not to be followed by the tail......"

"I'm naturally cautious and cautious about this. ”

Xia Yi took out a page of yellow paper from the devouring ring and handed it to Fu Shouyi: "Give this to him, take your time, just say it like that." ”

Fu Shouyi put away the yellow paper, "That Shizi is here?"

Xia Yi opened the book: "I'll arrange it on my side, don't worry about safety, and wait for the benefactor to wake up." ”

Fu Shouyi left the house and entered the palace to report.
