The area of the imperial capital is very large, about 550,000 square kilometers, looking at this value, some people may think that it is small, but in fact it is not small at all.

You must know that according to the Chinese land in the world before Chen Xiaoyao, according to the report, it covers an area of only about 9.6 million square kilometers, equivalent to one-eighteenth of the area.

Of course, such an area of land can not be composed of all high-ranking officials and nobles, they are all arranged according to the hierarchy, in the middle of which is naturally the palace where the emperors lived, and the second level is the residence of the officials of the past dynasties, followed by the high-ranking officials and nobles, and at the bottom are ordinary people.

Therefore, many times, knowing where a person lives, you can know what the person's rank is in the imperial capital.

And at this moment, in the suburbs of the imperial capital.

On a road, a carriage that was not too luxurious, or even somewhat simple, was driving on the road, and around this carriage, there were many guards, the number of people was about fifty to sixty, and although they were all cold weapons, they could also be called sophisticated.

Such a team, discerning people know at a glance that it is not easy to mess with, so they all stay away from this team with interest, so as not to harm the pond fish.

After all, no one knows if this team will suddenly have a big interest in killing, now in this world, as long as there is money and relationships, it doesn't matter how those dignitaries kill them, anyway, in their eyes, the life of a poor person is far less precious than a dog they raise.

Watching this team slowly move away, the people with sallow faces and skinny faces. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The team moved slowly. Walked through several dilapidated villages as before. Straight in the direction of the imperial capital.

Seeing that because of the oppression of tyranny, the residents living near the imperial capital have almost no food and clothing to ensure their survival, and almost every one of them can easily see the people who are living like walking corpses, and each of them can not see the hope of life, and even one or two corpses can be seen scattered in the dilapidated houses. Even if the stench and insects kept flying out, no one took care of it, and this scene was unbearable to look at.

And who would have thought that only a few hundred kilometers away from such a miserable countryside was the imperial capital of extreme luxury.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

This sentence is most appropriate here.

"Alas, this village is the same as the previous one!"

Lowered the curtain of the carriage and sighed as if he couldn't bear it. It was a man sitting in a carriage with a cane, and his head was bald. Then the old man with a pure white goatee, and this old man was the former minister, Jolly.

At this moment, Jolly's face was full of embarrassment, and he was already wrinkled, but after seeing the previous scene, he suddenly seemed to have a lot of vicissitudes.

"Alas, I can't imagine it, it's just a few years of Guanjing, the original vigorous and peaceful empire has become the current lifeless and crisis-ridden national capital, how can I be blind to Earnest that beast as a minister, I am really a sinner of the empire."

"Father, don't blame yourself so much, Earnest is originally a wolf with ambitions, even if you don't recommend him, he will still find someone else. What's more, he is so worried about the people, and now he has to return to the imperial capital, which can be called the nest of poisonous snakes, his father is really great. ”

Sitting at the other end of the carriage, there was a beautiful girl with long blond hair and a bright spear, this beautiful girl was the girl who had been hugged by Chen Xiaoyao and was also named - Sibia.

Hearing the praise from his daughter, Jolly sighed even more and said: "The country will not be a country, to this point, I can't live in seclusion, this time the old man is fighting against the hateful Ornest with a mortal heart, daughter, after sending your father to the imperial capital, you will go back to our secluded place and take care of your mother for me." ”

As if to explain what was going on, Jolly glanced kindly at his daughter across from her.

"Yes, I will protect my mother."

Spia, who was holding the spear, smiled wryly, and anyone would be sad to see his father having to die.

Moreover, Sibia was able to understand her father's hard work, and it was precisely because she could understand that she could not say anything to dissuade Jolly from going to the imperial capital.

"I really gave birth to a good daughter."

Looking at the wry smile shown by Sibia, Qiao Li nodded with relief, in this life he can understand his wife and daughter, he did not live in vain, if there are any regrets, it is naturally nothing more than wanting to see Chen Xiaoyao and watching his baby daughter get married.

However, every time he thought about it, Jolly couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"It's a pity, it's because it's too heroic, and it's hard to find even a mother-in-law's house now, it's really nerve-wracking!"

"Huh! This! These two things have nothing to do with each other! ”

Sibia subconsciously retorted, after all, anyone who is at the age of marriage is asked by his parents about marriage, and when he can't find his in-laws' house when there is a problem, it is often the most embarrassing time.

However, because of Jolly's words, Sibia realized that she was actually not small, and it was indeed time to find a good mother-in-law.

It's just that after carefully searching for the candidates in my mind, I found the sad fact that I didn't have any people to date, and my mood became even more depressed.

However, in the face of his father's playful eyes, Spiya also muttered a little embarrassed.

"Besides, how can I be too heroic or something, just a little bit of gunnery, if I can find a good partner, I think I can get married immediately, but,So far, haven't I seen the object of interest, the only super super suitable Master Xiaoyao disappeared mysteriously"

For this dark resentment that inexplicably appeared on his daughter, Jolly could clearly feel it.

"Uh, ahem."

Facing his daughter's resentful gaze. Jolly, who knew he had stepped on a landmine. Coughed a few times in embarrassment. Even though he is a virtuous minister with the ability to rule the world, he is helpless in the face of his daughter's emotional affairs.

"Stop!"

There was a loud cheer outside the carriage.

"What's wrong?"

Jolly asked a little strangely, did he meet the bandits again.

"Report to your lordship, there is an army marching ahead of us."

"The army? Quick, help me down. ”

Hearing this, one of the guards helped Jolly out of the car.

Jolly, who had gotten out of the carriage, stared vigorously at his somewhat old eyes, which were a little dizzy. Then he frowned.

"Well, although the style has changed a bit, it is almost certain that the uniforms and battle flags of the Imperial Army are basically the same. You go and report it, and say that the former minister, Jolly, wants to meet him. ”

The guard, who had just helped Jolly out of the carriage, nodded at Jolly, and ran over.

Naturally, the soldiers of the army also spotted Jolly, so when this guard ran like them, the soldiers all pointed their guns at this guard, and if this guard made any abnormal move, they would be killed at the first time.

"Stop. Say, "Who are you?" A soldier captain asked.

"On the orders of the former Minister of the Empire, Jolly. My lord would like to see your general. ”

"Former Minister Joli, I know, you wait here, I'll report to the general."

The captain of the soldiers responded, and then hurried to the front of the line, and at the front of the line, it was Estes.

"Report to General Estes, in our rear, the former Imperial Minister Jolly, I would like to see you, please give instructions from the General."

"Oh, Jolly? Let him come and see me. ”

Estes raised his eyebrows, it seems that Brother Xiaoyao originally entered the imperial capital under the leadership of Jolly, and his daughter is still the name given by Brother Xiaoyao.

Estes, who was a little interested, waited quietly for Jolly's carriage to come to his side.

"You're Jolly?" Estes looked at the shriveled old man in front of him with interest, and the blonde girl beside him, and then kept contrasting.

Well, my hair is not as long as mine, my eyelashes are not as long as mine, my face is not as good as mine, my skin is worse than mine, my body is not as good as mine, my legs are shorter than mine, and my strength is weaker than mine. After the identification is completed, there is a scum, don't pay attention to it.

Looking at Estes's inspecting gaze, Spiya couldn't help but feel a burst of fire.

"The old man is Jolly, but the old man really didn't expect that the world-famous General Estes would be so outstanding."

Jolly praised Estes without leaving a trace, but this was indeed Jolly's inner words.

Although it is also rumored that Estes has the beauty of the country and the city, Jolly does not take it too seriously, after all, can beauty be more beautiful than Lord Xiaoyao?

But despite this, after actually meeting, Jolly also had to marvel.

"Heh, thank you for the praise, I don't know what Minister Qiaoli is not at home to retire with peace of mind, but came to the imperial capital, what are you going to do?"

Faced with Estes's obvious clear purpose, but instead pretending to be confused, Jolly, who knew that Estes was not Ernest and his gang, said righteously.

"The old man is no longer a minister, this time the old man came to the imperial capital, intending to dedicate the residual heat of his old bones and fight with the traitorous minister of Earnest."

Jolly's words made Estes feel admired, but also amused.

"Hehe, Minister Jolly, you better go home to retire, you can't fight Earnest, you go to the imperial capital, there is only one way to die, or life is better than death."

After saying that, Estes drove the horse under his crotch and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, General Estes, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? It literally means, I advise you, leave the imperial capital, a place of right and wrong, if you don't have enough strength, others won't be able to protect you. ”

Unlike Jolly's impression of Earnest that was still stuck eight years ago, as a general of the Empire, Estest and Earnest have definitely not dealt with Earnest once or twice, and Estest also knows deeply that Earnest is definitely not just a civil official.

Earnest is strong, yes, not just in his power, but in his strength.

If the probability of victory between Estest and General Bud is 8:2, then the probability of victory between Earnest and her is also 6:4, the probability of victory of Earnest is 6, and the probability of victory of Estes is 4.

Of course, this probability is only in the case of not knowing Earnest's hole cards, if you know Earnest's hole cards, then the battle is five or five.

I'm afraid that only Bud and Estes will know about this result in the entire imperial capital.

If it weren't for the jealousy of Onest's strength, Estes would probably have killed Onest in the first place.

Therefore, if Earnest really wants to kill someone, unless Chen Xiaoyao comes out to stop it, the others will definitely have no effect.

That's why, knowing that Jolly was going to fight Ornest, Estes advised him that the collision between them was tantamount to the collision of eggs and diamonds. (To be continued.) )
