Chapter 4: The Imperial City
After Han Xiaotian said goodbye to Ruan Qing, he didn't make too many stops on the road, because according to Ruan Qing's provision, the opening time of the academy was within these few days, so he jumped all the way to the imperial city.
In the evening, on the road not far from the imperial city, Han Xiaotian looked up at the endless city in front of him, the tall houses and gorgeous buildings that he had never seen before, made him feel a burst of excitement in his heart.
"It's finally here!" Han Xiaotian groaned in his heart.
At this time, there were passers-by on the road who were carrying things, driving carriages, and hurrying into the city, looking at the crowd of people who hurriedly entered the city, Han Xiaotian also quickened his pace and followed into the city.
Not long after entering the city, Han Xiaotian didn't do too much wait-and-see, but casually found an inn to live in.
Because he knew that staying too much in such a bustling city with Xiang'er might attract the attention of the cultivators, and he was also tired from traveling for the past few days.
As soon as Han Xiaotian entered the room, he opened the baggage and released Xiang'er, Xiang'er jumped to the ground, shook the green hair on her body, and after observing the surroundings, she stared at Han Xiaotian with two big watery eyes, and squeaked a few times.
"Hungry, aren't you?" After speaking, he took out some herbs and sent them to Xiang'er's mouth, and Xiang'er immediately began to eat them.
Looking at Xiang'er, who was eating with relish, Han Xiaotian thought to himself, "Fortunately, I came out this time and brought a lot of herbs, otherwise I wouldn't know where to get these herbs for Xiang'er at this time." ’
Seeing such a cute scene, Han Xiaotian
I felt that the fatigue on my body seemed to have decreased a lot at this moment.
Then he touched the little head of the green rabbit and said with a smile: "You will be in the future...... You have to learn to eat something else, or I'm really worried that one day, as Ruan Qing said, you will starve to death!"
The green rabbit didn't pay attention to Han Xiaotian talking to him at all, but only knew how to send the medicine into his mouth one by one.
The next day, early in the morning.
Han Xiaotian woke up from his sleep, looked at Xiang'er, who was curled up next to his head and was sleeping soundly, and then touched his cute little head, and got off the bed. After washing, Xiang'er left Xiang'er at the inn, and came to the street of the imperial city alone.
Han Xiaotian, walking on the streets of the imperial city, looked at the surrounding green tiles and red walls, the abrupt cornices, the high fluttering shop signs, the sparkling cars and horses, and the endless flow of pedestrians, all of which reflected the prosperity of the imperial city.
This is not at all comparable to the little Kurokima.
On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street.
Seeing such a prosperous scene, Han Xiaotian praised again and again in his heart: "It's not an imperial city!"
Occasionally, I would see some passers-by holding swords and looking radiant on the street, maybe in Han Xiaotian's mind, those were the so-called cultivators.
After interrogation all the way, Han Xiaotian finally found the academy in the north of the imperial city.
Located on the edge of the imperial city, close to the mountains, the academy is tall and majestic, and it is indeed a good place to practice.
Han Xiaotian approached the college, a notice was posted on the wall of the college, and there were several people standing in front of the notice, Han Xiaotian looked at the notice on the wall, which wrote the enrollment date of the college, and some enrollment conditions and rules.
Han Xiaotian pondered in his heart: "Two days later is the enrollment day, it seems that I came at the right time." ”
Then he observed a few people next to him, who were all about the same age as himself, and all of them were well-dressed and extravagant, and they seemed to be ready to sign up for admission.
Han Xiaotian thought to himself that everyone might become senior brothers in the future, and he didn't have any acquaintances in the imperial city just now, so he wanted to go to the set, and it was good to know a few more people.
"How many of you are ready to sign up for admission?"
Then several people turned around at the same time, looked Han Xiaotian up and down, and then turned around again and continued to look at the notice on the wall, and no one paid attention to themselves.
At this time, Han Xiaotian slowly put away his smile and thought: "My dress is so simple, I know that I am a countryman at a glance, just as Ruan Qing said, everyone is the son of a high-ranking official and nobleman, and it is normal to ignore yourself, it seems that not everyone is like Ruan Qing." ”
Thinking of this, he praised Ruan Qing a little more.
At this moment, a crisp voice came from behind: "Brother Tai is also here to sign up for admission?"
Han Xiaotian turned around and saw that a young man dressed in white with a kind face was standing behind him, and he seemed to be a little younger than him.
Han Xiaotian replied with a smile on his face, "Yes!"
"What a coincidence, I also came to sign up, under the surname Song Mingshuyu, you can call me Xiaoyu!"
The young man politely picked up his hands holding the long sword.
"My name is Han Xiaotian, and I'm from Blackwood Town!"
Han Xiaotian also returned the salute.
"Song Shuyu?"
"He's coming, too!"
"It turns out that he is Song Shuyu, the number one genius in Wei City!"
“......”
Several people who were reading the notice suddenly heard the introduction of the young man in white, and they all turned their heads and whispered.
It turned out that Song Shuyu was the son of Song Chen, a big family in Weicheng, who was smart and clever since he was a child, full of poetry and books, gentle and elegant, and was known as the first talent of the young generation in Weicheng.
"I just heard from them that you are the number one talent in Wei City......!"
After hearing the words of several people, Han Xiaotian asked curiously.
Song Shuyu replied lightly: "Those are all rumors, I am young and shallow, how can I be called the first!"
"I think you're modest!" Han Xiaotian smiled.
The two left the academy chatting like this.
In the chat between the two, Han Xiaotian also got that Song Shuyu was one year younger than him.
