When Yan Xining arrived at the gate of Chang'an, it was already a month after leaving Fufeng Village, the original journey to Chang'an was not far, with the foot of Chiyan, it could be reached in three days, but she met too many homeless people along the way, originally she wanted to leave them directly, but when she saw that some of them were so hungry that she fainted, those eyes eager to help made her, a modernly educated person, really unable to ignore, she had to stop to help them, only to find out later that many of them were suffering from vicious diseases, if not treated, I'm afraid that I can't go to the boundary of Chang'an and die in Huangquan, so she delayed for a lot of time, and it took nearly a month to separate from them, when they called her a living bodhisattva, Yan Xining's heart was sad, if they were in a peaceful and prosperous world, how could they need a living bodhisattva like her.

Chang'an is the imperial capital, the city wall is much taller than the general city, more than ten zhang high, the city gate has a total of three entrances, each entrance is guarded by officers and soldiers, the past pedestrians are endless, obviously the chaos outside has not affected the prosperity of the imperial capital, she thought of the scene along the way, only felt that the prosperous imperial capital is like a terminally ill and unaware patient, he is dressed brightly every day, but the inside has long been rotten, Yan Xining sighed, led the blazing flame to line up behind the crowd, successfully passed the inspection, and finally walked into the core of this dynasty.

The Vermilion Bird Street of Chang'an City is wide and long, the two sides are surrounded by high walls into a square one by one, the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, there are various voices of people in each square, look at the square on the Vermilion Bird Street, faintly see the Zhuliang painting building in the square. Yan Xining asked a passer-by about the location of the inn, and got into a carriage and headed for Chang'an West City.

The West Market is bustling and bustling, all kinds of vendors are shouting and selling, there are juggling artists on the roadside, there are many people around and applauding, Yan Xi Ning looked at the prosperous scenery in front of her, and there was a little illusion of a dream, how long has she not seen such a bustle?

Yan Xining admired the prosperity along the way, and stopped in front of an inn called Yuelai, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "The girl looks like a dusty servant, she just arrived in Chang'an, right?" I don't know if I want to shoot or stay in the hotel? ”

"Both the tip and the store, help me prepare your best forage, I don't eat this horse's general forage." Yan Xi got out of the carriage and gave Xiao Er the usual copper coins.

That Xiao Er is also a well-informed person, although the girl in front of him does not look like a rich and noble person, but generous, the horse is not an ordinary horse at a glance, and immediately said enthusiastically: "Girl rest assured, the little one has been in this Yuelai Inn for six or seven years, and the horses that have been fed are not a thousand, but also eight hundred, whether it is a Dawan horse in the Western Regions or a sweaty BMW in Mobei, there is no one I haven't taken care of, you can hand it over to me with peace of mind." ”

Yan Xi Ning saw that he led the horse skillfully, and the blazing flame did not resist, it seemed that she was indeed not deceiving, she walked into the inn with confidence, asked the shopkeeper for an upper room and a few side dishes, and found a table by the window to sit down.

Seeing this, another junior in the inn cleverly ran over and wiped the table and poured water: "Girl, drink a bowl of water first, and the food you ordered will arrive soon." ”

Yuelai Inn is not the most luxurious inn in Chang'an City, but it is also a well-known inn, there are many guests coming and going, Xiao Er is busy like a spinning top, and he can't stop for a moment, the two men at the table next to Yan Xining are eating and drinking, and they are talking happily, and the voice is clear into Yan Xining's ears.

"A few days ago, I was in Fenglingdu, and I happened to meet the emperor's team going down to the south of the Yangtze River, and the momentum of the dragon boat really made me unforgettable."

"Then did you see the emperor?"

"The true dragon emperor is so easy to see, at that time, the ferry side of Fenglingdu was all forbidden army, I heard that this time there were 100,000 forbidden troops with the emperor on patrol, the team was so long, I waited for a day and a night in Fenglingdu before I got on the boat."

"I'm surprised when you say this, didn't you say that General Yuwen had just suffered a defeat and was captured? The emperor didn't think about how to exterminate this thief, what was he doing in Jinling? ”

"How do I know? But then again, the momentum of Fufeng Village is getting bigger and bigger, originally the Liukou in the Chang'an area saw that the Eastern Expedition army was back, and they didn't dare to come out at will in the mountains and forests, but as a result, Fufeng Village won this victory, and they couldn't sit still? I heard San'er say that the eldest of his family wants to be the eldest grandson of Zhai in Chang'an. ”

"How do you still know the bandits? Don't talk nonsense. ”

The two of them spoke of sensitive places, lowered their voices, and after a while, they checked out and left in a hurry.

Yan Xining was thinking about the emperor's trip they just said, when she arrived at Tongguan, except for the army guarding the pass, she didn't see any other teams, thinking that when she arrived, the emperor and his party had already left Tongguan for a few days.

"Girl, I've been waiting for a long time, please use it slowly." After Xiao Er brought the food, he was about to continue to work, but was stopped by Yan Xining: "Wait, I'll ask you something." ”

Xiao Er saw that the inn was not as busy as Fang Cai now, and said happily: "What does the girl want to ask, just ask, I grew up in Chang'an, and there is nothing I don't know about the whole Chang'an." ”

"Chang'an Wei Guogong Mansion from the inn, how to go?" Yan Xining asked directly.

Xiao Er's eyes widened in surprise when he heard her words, and he carefully looked at the woman in front of him: "The girl is going to the Duke of Wei's mansion?" ”

"What's wrong?" Yan Xining looked at him with a wrong look, and said strangely.

"Does the girl have any relatives working in the Wei State Mansion? Looking at the girl's appearance, she should have only arrived in Chang'an today, I'm afraid I don't know about the Wei Mansion, if the girl wants to go to your relatives, or don't go, this Wei Mansion may fall one day? Xiao Er kindly reminded her.

Yan Xining's heart tightened when he heard his words, and the chopsticks in his hand could barely hold it: "What happened to the Xie family?" There was a faint tremor in his voice.

"Girl, don't panic, the Xie family hasn't had an accident yet? It's just that I heard rumors that the Xie family is not as good as it used to be, and I don't know how long it can last? ”

Yan Xining listened to his words and relieved herself, and asked, "Why is it not as good as before?" ”

"Last year, Wei Guogong was sent to Jinyang by the Holy Lord to be the Taishou, it is said that Mrs. Xie passed away the next day, at that time the Xie family was really crying and grabbing the ground, Wei Guogong was gone, Mrs. Xie passed away again, the Xie family is now the eldest son of the master, I heard that Wei Guogong's sons have no official position, the saint has been guarding against the Xie family, although the Xie family and the Gao family canceled the marriage, but no one knows the scene on the Luoyang execution ground, the world said that Xie Ergongzi and Miss Gao are deeply in love, which makes people sigh, but what does this make the emperor think, Let Wei Guogong go to Jinyang, maybe he is going to take the Xie family, for more than a year, the momentum of the Wei Guogong Mansion is not as good as day by day, and many dignitaries and dignitaries do not associate with them, for fear of setting themselves on fire. Xiao Er told me eloquently.

"Then where is the second son of the Xie family now?" Yan Xining listened to him for a long time, but he didn't mention Xie Ronghua at all, so he couldn't help asking.

"Second son?" Xiao Er was puzzled, "After Wei Guogong left, the Xie family has always been the eldest son, haven't you heard of anything about the second son?" Not long ago, I heard from the guy at the pawnshop in the dealer that he had seen the third prince and the eldest prince go to them to do things together, and said that the third prince looked scary and didn't look like Xie Gongzi's brothers-in-law. ”

"I know, you go get busy first, I'll call you if there's something." Yan Xining stopped his talking, she didn't have much interest in the rest of the Xie family.

"Oh, that girl can call me if she has something." Xiao Er turned around and left after speaking.

Yan Xining looked at the food on the table and suddenly lost her appetite, originally thinking of coming to Chang'an to find him and help her rescue Yan Feng with the power of the Wei Mansion, but now the Xie family itself is difficult to protect, and the emperor is catching the Xie family's mistakes at any time, how can she go to him again, she still has to figure out how to deal with Yan Feng's affairs by herself.

The next day, Yan Xining left Chang'an, arrived at the military camp on the outskirts of Gongxian County, and bribed the guards with money to help her find Yan Feng, and the guards told him that Yan Feng was in the forbidden army and went down to the south of the Yangtze River with the emperor.

Seeing her sad face, the guard thought that this girl was very generous, and suggested to her: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have gone to Jiangnan, accompanied by many ministers, every two days, Menxia Province will sort out the most important places and send them to His Majesty for approval, the girl can find a way to go to Chang'an to contact the person who sent the letter, and ask them to help you send a letter, contact your father first, and then make plans." ”

"Brother Xie informed." Yan Xining left the barracks after thanking him and walked into the county seat of Gongxian County, this small county town is not far from Chang'an, it is much more prosperous than the ordinary county seat, Yan Xining wandered aimlessly on the street, and suddenly a voice was surprised: "Xining? Are you Xi Ning? ”

Yan Xining turned around and saw an old man with gray hair, and he was also surprised: "Grandpa Qi, why are you here?" "When she was in Luoyang, Dr. Qi treated her well, but after the war in Luoyang, she hadn't seen Dr. Qi, and she didn't expect to meet him here.

Dr. Qi looked at her with a kind of surprise that she had met her in a foreign country, and pulled her to the teahouse he frequented, and said to her while drinking tea: "The last time I saw you, you said that you had something urgent to do and gave me leave, and then there was a war in Luoyang, and Waiguo City was destroyed, and my medical hall was naturally gone, so I came here to take refuge in my nephew, how have you been doing in the past two years?" Why did you come here too? ”

Yan Xi Ning slightly went to the Wang family for treatment, and only told him about coming here to find Yan Feng, Doctor Qi listened to it and sighed: "Brother Yan is also a bitter life, but you are rashly going to Jiangnan now to find it like a headless fly, it is better to listen to the soldier's words, send some silver to ask someone to help you inquire about the situation first, and then make plans when there is news, maybe in a month or two, your father will return to Chang'an with the emperor." ”

Yan Xining nodded, Doctor Qi thought for a while, and asked, "Xining, do you have a place to stay now?" If not, follow me first, I promised your father to take care of you, your medical skills are not bad, my nephew also opened a medical clinic in Gong County, I am now a doctor there, you can also come to help. ”

"Your nephew's medical hall, is it convenient for me to go over?" Yan Xining said a little embarrassed.

"What's inconvenient, I'm taking care of it anyway, he's just a hands-off shopkeeper, it's good to come to the hospital once every three months." Doctor Qi said loudly.

Yan Xining heard him say this, so she agreed, she first rented a house in Gong County, and then went to Chang'an to find the person who sent a letter to Jinling as told by the barracks guard, and asked him to help her contact Yan Feng, which naturally cost a lot of money. After doing this, she settled down in Dr. Qi's nephew's medical hall and waited for Yan Feng's news.
