A bowl of steaming fragrant wontons was placed in front of Tang Letian.

Tang Lotian has not eaten the food of the world for more than a month, he has been walking in the jungle for more than a month, although he does not need food tonic, but after a long time, he will feel that his mouth is dull, especially in this icy and snowy environment, people will have a strong desire to eat, and eating hot food can make people feel physically and mentally happy.

In addition, he also wanted to talk to the stall owner, so as to have a preliminary understanding of Emperor Daqing.

Tang Lotian has privately explored many cities and penetrated many stars, so he is quite familiar with this set of business.

If you want to have a preliminary understanding of a city, you must not only read the things in the books, but also listen to the rumors outside, but only go to the city in person and listen to the statements of the most ordinary people, listen to the statements of people with rich families, and then listen to the statements of the wealthy and wealthy.

The combination of the three, combined with what you see and feel, is what the city is really about.

Tang Lotian swallowed a milky jade-colored wonton in his mouth while it was hot, and while tasting the fresh aroma of the wonton, he exhaled a thick sigh and asked, "Uncle, I have something to inquire about you." ”

The old man said in a muffled voice while pinching the wontons: "Little Lao'er just sells wontons, you ask me what the wontons are filled with and how the dough is matched, I can answer them one by one, and I don't know anything else." ”

Tang Lotian touched a hard nail, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, but then Tang Lotian smiled and focused his attention on the wontons in the bowl.

Tang Lotian ate the wontons quickly, and no longer had superfluous conversations with the old man, he just wanted to ask about some things casually, and anyone could change it, there was no need to touch the cold butt.

A bowl of wontons went down to his stomach, Tang Lotian felt that his whole body was warm, and streams of heat radiated from his stomach to his limbs.

took out the copper plate and lined it up on the table, Tang Lotian looked at the immortal imperial city shrouded in the fine snow that was blowing one after another.

Standing in front of Tang Letian is a city wall as high as 50 meters, and under the city wall are all kinds of dilapidated wooden houses, which are attracted by the Daqing Imperial City, displaced people from all over the world.

These displaced people are also the resources that the imperial city of Daqing can continue to expand.

The expansion of each layer of the imperial city was like a mother in open arms, enveloping a large number of displaced people behind the walls, and then new refugees arrived, who built houses, cultivated fields, hunted animals, and used their hard labor to make ends meet.

Five hundred years later, their descendants will be able to become the inhabitants of the Immortal Imperial City.

Dozens of generations of people have been working hard to achieve this goal.

The hard, thick walls, the dilapidated huts, and the huge gap between the two don't seem to be in the same world.

But the fine snow fluttering in the sky smoothed the huge gully between the two.

It makes the two seem to be much more harmonious.

Most of the people in the humble houses haven't gotten up yet, and even when they do, most of them are wrapped in quilts and battling the cold weather, so it still looks very quiet.

Tang Lotian didn't know where to start, but Tang Lotian was not in a hurry.

Tang Letian let out a long breath and walked towards the imperial city.

The owner of the wonton stall glanced at Tang Letian's back, then shook his head and muttered to himself: "They are all poor creatures, they all feel that they are different, and they can find a place in this imperial city, and even stand out......"

Tang Lotian heard the old man's muttering, although the old man's voice was not loud.

But this doesn't affect Tang Letian anything, because Tang Letian really feels that he is different and feels that he will definitely be able to get ahead here.

Tang Lotian does feel like a fledgling teenager. Because Tang Lotian made slight changes to his face, making himself younger, and more importantly, Tang Lotian changed the light in his eyes.

Such Tang Lotian looks young and vigorous, full of the tenacity and vigor of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Everything that Tang Lotian showed at this time was carefully prepared.

He was wearing the most ordinary clothes in this Daqing, not luxurious, but by no means poor.

Tang Lotian is like a young man who has just walked out of the countryside and is ready to show his skills in the city.

The capital of the Daqing Emperor attracts a large number of young people here every year, some of whom take root and thrive here, gaining fame and power, but some of them gradually become depressed here and eventually disappear without a trace.

The morning bell rings.

The gates are opened.

There are not many people entering the city, but there are many people leaving the city, and there are already long queues.

After all, except for urgent matters, they usually rush into the city during the day and enter the city in the afternoon, and there are few people like Tang Letian who rush into the city in the early morning.

When they went out of the city, there were porters, farmers, hunters, and so on, and most of them were poor people in the early morning, and there were few freshly clothed angry horses

Tang Lotian prepared the entry voucher prepared in advance, and the soldiers guarding the city glanced at it a few times, looked at Tang Letian's young appearance, and waved his hand at will to let him go.

Tang Lotian walked into the most prosperous city in the lower world of Guiru.

The imperial city looks new under the twentieth layer of the city wall, these buildings are all repaired when the city was expanded a hundred years ago, the buildings are blue bricks and red tiles, with fine snow, giving people a refreshing feeling, the ground is paved with long strips of green bricks, and there are officials and slaves who get up before dawn to sweep the streets, even if it snows in the middle of the night, it will not be muddy.

Tang Lotian walked on the street, walked east and west, but it was still early, the shops on the street had not yet opened, and the winter morning was extremely cold, so everywhere he walked was a cold and deserted appearance.

Tang Lotian walked aimlessly on the street, looking for opportunities while looking at the city.

Tang Lotian has set several ways for himself to advance.

The first type is to find the royal nobles and become the doormen of the royal nobles.

The second type is that every year the royal family has two civil and military examinations, the selection of talents, if you can pass the civil and military examinations, you can be promoted to officialdom, one step to the sky.

Both.

The first path is the most difficult to follow, but it is conducive to concealing one's life.

The second type, this is the best way to go with Tang Letian's strength, and he can easily pass the martial arts test, but although Tang Letian's life experience has made some preparations, it is not rigorous and cannot withstand too deep investigation.

Tang Lotian thought about it and didn't come to a conclusion, Tang Lotian felt that both methods were feasible and could be tried, so Tang Lotian was ready to take two steps, and whichever method was convenient would be used to act.

As for the issue of identity, Tang Letian replaced a teenager named Tang Cheng.

This young man was selected by Tang Letian, and the only flaw in this identity is that Tang Cheng has a sister and a brother-in-law.

It's not the kind of desperate household, if this sister and brother-in-law come to the door, Tang Letian is afraid that he will have to show his flaws.

It's not that Tang Letian doesn't want to find a proper identity for himself, but Qingguangbian is very strict with household registration management, especially in the imperial city, every person entering and leaving the imperial city must have customs clearance documents.

This boy named Tang Cheng is a corpse found by Tang Letian in Shandong, although he died not long ago, the corpse was gnawed by wild beasts, and his appearance was no longer distinguishable.

Tang Lotian just felt that this young man was about the same height as him, and he carried the documents for customs clearance with him.

There were several letters in the package he carried, and it was from the letters that Tang Letian knew the general life of the young man.

At the same time, I also know whether the teenager is going to Beijing to prepare for the literary examination.

This identity just fits Tang Letian's needs.

Originally, Tang Lotian wanted to enter the capital directly through the escape technique, and with Tang Cheng's identity, Tang Lotian could enter the capital in a grand manner, and he could operate in the capital with a regular identity.

This identity simply fell from the sky for Tang Letian, so Tang Letian used it without hesitation.

Tang Lotian also thought about coming to the city, slowly developing, and then changing an identity.

After all, with Tang Letian's cultivation, he can now perform mind-reading techniques on some ordinary people, so as to seize their memories, but if he wants to convert it, Tang Letian's current cultivation is still a little worse, and when he has gained a firm foothold in this city, he thinks that his cultivation has reached that level.

Tang Lotian wandered around the city, and finally found a mid-range inn to settle in.

The inn in the early morning is different from the surrounding streets and alleys, and it seems a little busy.

Some merchants prepared their luggage and goods and prepared to leave the imperial capital.

Some students also got up early and started to exercise and run in the morning, but Tang Letian's arrival did not attract much attention.

After all, it is the time of the annual civil and military examination, and students like Tang Letian abound.

Everyone is busy with their own business.

Xiao Er led Tang Lotian to a small room, and then yawned and left.

Tang Letian's musty room, Tang Letian can't afford to live in a better room, but this room is the most suitable for his identity.

There was a snoring sound from the next room, and it sounded as if he would be suffocated to death at any moment.

Tang Letian's brain made up for a fat man with a fat body, how about lying down like a mountain and falling asleep.

Tang Letian's ears moved, and on the other side was the sound of writing and painting, obviously a diligent reader.

Tang Lotian looked at his room, a bed was placed horizontally, a table was placed vertically, and a chair, a teapot and a cup, and a charcoal basin full of ashes, this was all the layout of the room, the wooden floor could no longer see the original color, the beams above his head were hung with a thick layer of ash, the cobwebs were layered on top of each other, and the window paper on the panes made of wood was pasted layer after layer, but there were still several large and small holes.

The previous occupant of the house seemed to have just left, so there was still a hint of heating in the house, but the charcoal in the charcoal basin had already burned out.

Tang Lotian took the charcoal basin, went to Xiao Er, bought a pound of carbon, ignited it, and brought it back to the room.

Although Tang Letian's cultivation at this time is not afraid of the cold and heat, the cold and deserted house, lighting a pot of charcoal fire always makes people feel comfortable.

Sure enough, after the charcoal fire entered the house, the whole room became warm.

Tang Lotian decided to go next door to learn from the reader and talk to him.

But before Tang Lotian could get up, the door next door creaked open, and the scholar walked out of the room.

Tang Lotian immediately pushed the door and walked out.

Then Tang Lotian saw the scholar, sure enough, it was a young student, who looked like he was about in his early twenties, dressed in green clothes, holding his hair in a bun, and his appearance was outstanding.

When the young student saw that Tang Letian was also dressed in green clothes, he couldn't help but greet Tang Letian warmly, and asked, "Brother Tai is also here to take the exam?"

Tang Letian immediately nodded and said, "I'm just here to test and explore the exam questions this year, and it's not really going to the exam." ”

It is not surprising that students like Tang Letian who came to familiarize themselves with the exam room in the first year and familiarized themselves with the exam questions abounded.

The student stepped forward very enthusiastically, and said with a smile full of sunshine: "My name is Chen Sheng, what do you call Brother Tai?

Tang Lotian responded: "Tang Cheng, from Tang County, three hundred miles away. ”
