Chapter 918: The National Capital

On the next post road, there were more people. However, this did not affect Yu Qiu's mood in a hurry.

In the afternoon of the same day, before the sun set, Yu Qiu had already arrived in the national capital. Before arriving at the national capital, Yu Qiu had already felt that the national capital was heavily guarded, and the post station closest to the national capital was already full of many officers and soldiers, and anyone who went to the national capital had to be interrogated and checked. Anyone in doubt is not allowed to travel to the national capital.

"Stop. The officers and soldiers suddenly stopped Yu Qiu and said, "Dismount and be inspected." ”

Yu Qiu frowned, then jumped off the horse, one of the officers and soldiers was wearing armor, holding a saber in his hand, and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Xishang Kingdom!" Yu Qiu replied.

"Xishang Country?!" The soldier was stunned for a moment, and said, "Xishang Country is so far away from here, what are you doing here?"

"I'm going to Qingyun Sect. Yu Qiu replied: "I heard that the Qingyun Sect is the first in the world, and I, as a monk, want to worship under the Qingyun Sect. ”

"Hmph, I think you are trying to do wrong, right?" The soldier sneered: "Isn't there a Chongyang Palace in the Western Shang Kingdom? You can't even enter the Chongyang Palace, what qualifications do you have to enter the Qingyun Sect? Boy, you must know that the Qingyun Sect has the strictest selection of disciples on this continent. You shouldn't be deliberately trying to sneak into the city under the banner of entering the Qingyun Sect, right?"

At this time, Zhao Zhiruo hurriedly stuffed a few gold coins into the other party, and she hurriedly said: "My mother's family is in the national capital, please be accommodating." ”

"Haha......" The soldier skillfully stuffed the gold coins into his pocket, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that the girl's maiden family is in the national capital, are you planning to visit relatives when you come back this time?"

Zhao Zhiruo's face was slightly red, and he nodded, but he was embarrassed to speak. The soldier hurriedly said, "In that case, how can I stop you, please!"

Zhao Zhiruo hurriedly pulled Yu Qiu through the fence laid by the guards. Yu Qiu said with a smile: "It seems that it is the same in any world, corruption will always exist." ”

"It's you who are so stupid. Zhao Zhiruo glanced at Yu Qiu and said, "They work so hard here every day, but they don't really want to stop people. It's just that I hope to be able to collect some hardship fees. ”

"Everyone else gave a silver coin, or even a few silver coins, but you gave a few gold coins?" Yu Qiu smiled: "You are spoiling him." In the future, his greedy desire will grow bigger and bigger. ”

"Aren't I also so that we can pass the guò?" Zhao Zhiruo hurriedly said: "Besides, he received a few gold coins this time, and he will definitely not dare next time." If he dared to open his mouth, the people who entered the city would definitely report it. ”

The two walked forward as they spoke. Coming out of the post road, I turned to a bluestone road more than ten meters wide, which led to the national capital. As long as you get to this road, the distance from the national capital is not far. Zhao Zhiruo said excitedly: "Yu Qiu, we are about to arrive." ”

"yes. Yu Qiu nodded, he also sighed a little, the last time he came to the national capital was many years ago, he was still a citizen of Yan Kingdom, Yan Country and Fengyang Kingdom are bordering each other, and the relationship between them is not bad. Yan Kingdom has a small land area, and it is often attacked by some demonic beasts in the frozen area, and Fengyang Kingdom often asks Qingyun Sect to assist Yan Kingdom. The relationship between them is not bad.

Finally, when Yu Qiu walked through the jungle and saw the magnificent city directly, Yu Qiu couldn't help but be a little shocked, the dozens of meters high city wall, the black pressure city wall stretched to the left and right, and there was no end in sight, this city wall was to prevent foreign invasions, or to prevent the invasion of other countries. It's just that the Fengyang Kingdom has not had a war for many years, because the Fengyang Kingdom is strong and the people are strong, and the Qingyun Sect is also the first sect in the world. Who ate the ambition leopard dar to dare to attack Fengyang Kingdom?

The blackened city wall gave Yu Qiu a visual shock. Although he had been to Fengyang Country before, when he saw the capital of Fengyang Country again, Yu Qiu's heart was still surging. That kind of tens of thousands of years of historical precipitation made Yu Qiu feel as if a fierce beast was about to be liberated from his heart.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Zhiruo asked curiously, "Why are you standing here stupidly looking at the city wall, but you don't leave?"

"I ...... I'm just curious. Yu Qiu took a deep breath.

"Curious about what?" Zhao Zhiruo asked.

"Curious why there are no soldiers at the gate of this city?" Yu Qiu said with a smile.

"Because the king of Fengyang Kingdom had confidence in his country, he did not send soldiers at the city gates and city walls. Zhao Zhiruo said with a smile: "He wants to show the majesty of his Heavenly Empire." ”

"That's too. Yu Qiu nodded: "With the national strength of the Fengyang Kingdom and the status of the Qingyun Sect, who dares to take the initiative to attack the Fengyang Kingdom?

"Yes. Zhao Zhiruo nodded and said, "Even if several countries in the east are united, they are not necessarily the opponents of Fengyang Kingdom. ”

The two talked as they walked forward. When Yu Qiu stood in the city wall, he felt the imprisoned souls in the city wall shouting towards Yu Qiu again, and Yu Qiu suddenly remembered the words of the white fox, those souls were imprisoned in this city wall by the monks after the defeat. They will never be reincarnated, and they can only be imprisoned and screaming in it for the rest of their lives. Therefore, the monks who come and go can hear it. In the same way, the authorities wanted to warn the monks who wanted to commit crimes not to mess around, otherwise the consequences would be the same as those inside.

Entering the city, Zhao Zhiruo pulled Yu Qiu all the way towards the city.

"Where is your home?" asked Yu Qiu curiously.

"In the vicinity of the Imperial City. Zhao Zhiruo hurriedly said, "Hurry up." ”

"Near the Imperial City?" Yu Qiu was stunned for a moment and said, "There are some princes and nobles near the Imperial City." ”

"My father is a doctor at the Faculty of Arts in Fengyang Kingdom. Zhao Zhiruo grinned and said, "How is it?

Yu Qiu was slightly startled and said, "Since your father is a doctor in the Academy of Letters, how could he marry you to a gambler? ”

"Because my husband used to work in the Faculty of Letters, he was deeply appreciated by my father. Zhao Zhiruo smiled: "Plus he has affection for me, that's why my father would marry me to him, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today." ”

"That's too. Yu Qiu nodded and said, "It's a pity." ”

"However, after all the qiē passed, I finally went home. Zhao Zhiruo grinned and said, that happy expression was very bright.

Zhao Zhiruo led Yu Qiu to the door of his house, and the door was closed. Zhao Zhiruo excitedly stepped forward and knocked on the door. However, it was a gray-haired old man who opened the door, he looked at Zhao Zhiruo with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Miss, may I ask, who are you?"

"This ......" Zhao Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, and said, "Grandpa, isn't this Dr. Zhao's residence?"

"Doctor Zhao?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Miss, you are wrong. Dr. Zhao was dismissed half a year ago and relegated to Xiangyang City, which is at the junction of Fengyang Kingdom and Yan Kingdom. This house is now where my lord lives. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Zhiruo was shocked and said, "I...... How come I never knew about this?"

"Miss, may I ask who you are?" asked the old man suspiciously.

"I am the daughter of Dr. Zhao, Zhao Zhiruo. Zhao Zhiruo's face turned pale.

"I see, since it's Dr. Zhao's daughter, let's come in and sit down. The old man opened the door.

"No, no. Zhao Zhiruo hurriedly shook his head. Seeing that the house he grew up in turned out to be someone else's house, where did Zhao Zhiruo still have the courage to walk in. She shook her head vigorously, turned around and ran out frantically, towards the crowded streets outside. Yu Qiu hurriedly led the horse and chased after her, but Yu Qiu did not stop her, but followed her all the time. Zhao Zhiruo was in tears while running. In the end, she hid behind a stone lion placed in front of a large family's house, and wept loudly.

Yu Qiu couldn't help but sigh, but she didn't expect to find Zhao Zhiruo's parents when she arrived in the national capital, which made Yu Qiu a little helpless. Do you leave Zhao Zhiruo behind and go to Qingyun Sect alone, or take Zhao Zhiruo to Qingyun Sect with you? The former Yu Qiu obviously can't do it, no matter what, along the way, Yu Qiu still has some feelings for Zhao Zhiruo. Moreover, last night, Zhao Zhiruo also became his own venting tool. Now, how can he leave her alone after leaving her?

As for the latter, Yu Qiu felt even more inappropriate, and took a woman to Qingyun Sect, not to mention that Zhao Zhiruo couldn't enter Qingyun Sect at all, and he had no way to take care of her. She is a weak woman, and she has no half cultivation, how can she protect herself? This made Yu Qiu very anxious.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Zhiruo seemed to have cried enough, and she walked out from behind the stone lion rubbing her red and swollen eyes. She looked at Yu Qiu aggrievedly and said, "Yu Qiu, I'm sorry!"

"Don't say you're sorry. Yu Qiu smiled and said, "It's not your fault, your parents were exiled to Xiangyang City, and it has nothing to do with you." Moreover, you don't know the news either!" "Yu Qiu, thank you all the way. Zhao Zhiruo bit his red lip and said, "Just leave me here." I know that you are going to Qingyun Sect, and it will take two days to go to Qingyun Sect here, and you have already delayed a lot of time for me, and you can't continue to delay. ”R1148
