Emperor Han's capital is Jinling City

This is a majestic city located in the center of the Han land, and the whole city is built around the Jinling Mountain, and the radius below the mountain is the scope of this majestic imperial capital for hundreds of miles. Under the Jinling Mountain, there are two great rivers of Handi, the Daliu River and the Houtu River, which meet and form a large lake for dozens of miles, which is named Jinhu.

Because the water of the Houtu River is mixed with the loess all the year round and formed a reddish-brown color, after arriving at the Golden Lake, it meets with the clear water of the Daliu River and becomes lightened, leaving the micro-metals in the loess floating on the water surface, and it is always a golden sparkling under the sun, so it is named Jinhu.

Around Jinhu Lake, there is a bustling town scene. It was not until the ten miles outside the Jinling Mountain that a thick and tall city wall was built, and beyond the city wall was the area where the officials and nobles lived, and there was a circle of equally tall city walls in a radius of forty miles outside. The 50-mile radius outside the city wall is the residence of the common people, and the two-story city wall divides the 100-mile radius around the Jinling Mountain into three areas.

The outermost area is the residence of the common people, and it is also the most prosperous commercial area, the economic center of the entire Han Empire. Here, the vendors from all over the world, the extravagant and prosperous restaurants and music buildings, the various restaurants that collect the world's delicacies, as well as those places of sound and color, as well as the dark businesses underground, have all been greatly developed in this area, and they have grown into a different kind of towering forest like the fertile soil of grass and trees.

The area within the first layer of the city wall was the place where the princes and nobles lived and the powerful people of the dynasty. Compared with the bustling scenery outside the city walls, it seems a lot more serious and calm, but these magnates have leisure time outside of the city to deal with national affairs, and many people also like to go outside the city to be chic and comfortable.

And inside the second layer of the city wall is a very magnificent royal palace. It is said to be magnificent because this splendid palace has a ten-mile range of buildings in the direction of the east of Jinling Mountain, and it is actually from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain and builds a continuous palace according to the mountain. Looking at it from afar, I realized that this whole mountain was not a huge royal palace.

The palace that enters directly from the east gate of the second city wall at the foot of the mountain is the area where the Emperor of Han handles the daily office of the court and the cabinet ministers. The palace complex on Jinling Mountain is completely the area where the royal family lives.

The Han Kingdom of this dynasty has experienced four hundred years of ups and downs, and the royal family takes white as the surname, but advocates the word Jin, so it is also called Jin Han. When the founding of the country chose Jinling, the capital of the country, it took great effort to build a palace on this mountain, all because the interior of this mountain turned out to be a huge gold mine. And this gold mine is so big that Jinhan has never finished mining for more than 300 years.

In Jinling City, both the residents and the princes and nobles only lived in the north, south, and southeast, but in the west, no one was allowed to live. Because all the troops in that direction were troops, the pro-army guarding the imperial capital was stationed in the west of Jinling Mountain, and that direction was also the direction of gold mining.

In the area outside the city wall, there is a courtyard near the Golden Lake, which seems to be incompatible with the golden prosperity. The people here are all wearing white sword robes, with long swords pinned to their waists, and their waists are tall and heroic when they walk.

The door of the courtyard has a large plaque made of fine wood, on which are two dragons flying and phoenix dancing gilded characters "Jianlu". This is the place where the sword is practiced in the imperial capital, and every teacher is the great sword master of the imperial capital.

Although this Great Swordsman is not necessarily the strongest swordsman in the Han Land, he is also one of the strongest ones, because all the people who can obtain the title of Great Swordsman are all grandmasters in the Open River Realm. And the people who come in and out of the study here are all high-ranking officials and nobles, the children of wealthy businessmen, and it can be said that it is a place for the nobles of the imperial capital to study.

At this time, a young man in shabby clothes was in stark contrast to the heroic young men who came in and out of it wearing neat sword robes. The young man had been kneeling in front of the door of the Jianlu for three days, motionless for three days, not a drop of water or rice.

The students who came and went looked at him with disdain at the beginning, and later revealed a trace of admiration although they were still disdainful.

"Look at that guy, it's the third day. ”

"Na, I am willing to lose the bet, yesterday you said that you would last less than three days, give the money. ”

"You have to get it, this gamble is not unjust, I can see such a persevering guy, and it is worth losing the money. ”

"Do you think this guy can still persevere? The teacher will definitely not accept him, why do you say this guy is so persistent?"

"Who knows? But no matter how much I can persevere, I'm just a commoner, and I want to come here to learn kendo? It's a dream, and besides, what's so good about kendo? If it weren't for my father's compulsion, I wouldn't have come. ”

"Yes, but it's a great blessing to be here and make like-minded friends like you. But what about the way of the sword? We nobles learn this is nothing more than putting on a show, and we really have to use countless subordinates to help us do things, where do we use it?"

"Who's to say it isn't?"

The boy ignored the discussion around him, and still knelt there motionless. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and I heard people say, "Look, it's Bai Gongzi!" We are really lucky this time, Bai Gongzi is a royal concubine. The prince has not studied kendo outside for many years, but I didn't expect us to meet each other. ”

"Yes, if you can get to know this lord during the Sword House, our family will be of infinite use in the future. ”

I saw that the young man who was wearing a white sword robe and dressed like the others, but was followed by four imposing swordsmen, walked to the door of the sword house, turned around and said to the four swordsmen, "Okay, you can escort them here." You don't have to follow me while I'm studying in the Sword House. ”

"But Childe, it's our duty to protect you. One of the swordsmen said.

"Don't worry, there is a great sword master in the imperial capital here, and you are still worried about my safety?" said the prince with a chuckle, although his tone was kind and calm, there was an undoubted momentum in it.

The four swordsmen looked at each other and could only retreat. Childe shook his head with a smile when he watched the four of them leave, then turned around and saw the young man kneeling there, walked over with great interest and asked, "Jianlu doesn't accept civilians, what are you kneeling here for?"

"Studying. The young man just said two simple words and said no more, and these two words were spit out with a fierce murderous aura.

"It's so murderous, but you have been wronged before you want to learn swordsmanship? Although kendo is a technique to stop fighting, it is not a means of seeking revenge and revenge. Although the son's words were concerned, his posture has always been upright, "But it is your luck that you met me today, if you have any grievances, you can talk to me, I will make the decision for you." ”

"You—why are you?" the boy asked, looking up at the boy who was looking at him condescendingly.

"Why?" Childe shook his head a little amusefully when he was asked by the other party.

At this time, the few whispering students next to him spoke out one after another to please this son: "You village man really don't know how to lift, this noble son is a prince, why do you dare to ask?"

The boy nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, since I met it today, then I can't ignore the grievances of my people." ”

The young man closed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "In order to seek swordsmanship, go to the battlefield and kill Luo Dog." ”
