In the twentieth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, on the first day of July, it was slightly rainy in Chang'an.

Today's Kyoshi still looks as beautiful as ever, with a drizzle of rain and fewer pedestrians.

When the sky was bright, a team of juggling teams came from the south gate to enter Chang'an.

The juggling team was about twenty or thirty people, most of whom wore green robes as Taoist attire, and eight people wore tight black clothes and hats.

"Official, we are performing arts, and we come to the capital to eat, and we are tired of letting go."

The middle-aged Taoist in the lead had a smile on his face, and bowed slightly to the guards who blocked the way at the city gate.

In the face of these Taoists, the soldiers did not have too many good faces. The former Qin worshiped the Buddha and the Eastern Jin Dynasty worshiped the Tao, which is the general trend of this era.

Although the former Qin officials did not reject Taoism, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty officials did not reject Buddhism, the people of the two countries always liked to pursue what their countries respected, and at the same time belittled what their neighbors respected. Therefore, whether it is a Taoist priest in the former Qin Dynasty or a monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is a job that is very easy to encounter white eyes.

"From the Jin Dynasty?"

When the soldier saw so many Taoist priests, he subconsciously thought it was a Jin person.

The middle-aged Taoist shook his head, spoke fluent Qin Dynasty official dialect, and said with a smile: "We are all Qin people, and we have cultivated in Qingcheng Mountain in Xishu and learned some tricks. Now he travels all over the world to make a living. It is not from the same vein as the so-called Heavenly Master Dao of the Jin Dynasty. ”

"Is Xishu also popular, but I haven't paid attention to it, and I want me to say that I need to go to the Buddhist temple to burn incense." As soon as he heard that it was a countryman, the soldier relaxed his vigilance, but he still looked at the eight black-clothed people with hats, and hesitated: "Why don't these eight people wear Taoist robes, their outfits are strange, not like good people." ”

The middle-aged Taoist snorted and said, "You have to have some fancy clothes to attract onlookers, right?" It's just about to have more people watching, so it's good to perform. ”

When the soldier heard it, he thought about it, and it was the same reason, only by being unconventional can he drain the stream. He waved his hand: "Okay, you can go in." ”

The middle-aged Taoist thanked him and slowly entered the city with the juggling team.

"Mount Qingcheng...... Hey, I've heard some rangers say before that there is a building hidden in Qingcheng Mountain, called Jiuxing Tower. There are many killers upstairs, all of them are strong in martial arts, and they kill people without blinking, is it true? ”

As soon as the jugglers entered the city gate, they heard the curious questions of the former guard. The middle-aged Taoist in the lead turned his head, smiled at the soldier, and said, "Naturally, it's fake." ”

......

A group of rangers came to the east gate.

The so-called rangers are some teenagers who want to be people in the rivers and lakes, and they can be regarded as the reserves of people in the rivers and lakes. Translated into the name of later generations, the Jianghu people are gangsters in society, and the rangers are bad students in school.

The guards at the east gate looked at the group of teenagers in front of them, all of whom had inferior swords, all dressed in non-mainstream clothes, with strange hairstyles, and were obviously a group of rangers.

The government supervises the people in the rivers and lakes more strictly, but it has to be a lot lax with the rangers, after all, they are still children!

"Where are you from, a good lover should not be, what kind of ranger should you be! My boy is the same age as you, and if he goes to school in the academy, he may be able to enter the court and become an official in the future. ”

The soldier spoke earnestly to the rangers.

One of the rangers smiled and said to the guard: "My surname is Ran, these are my brothers, we are from Yecheng. I heard that Beijing is prosperous, so I came here to visit. ”

"I see." The soldier groaned: "Yecheng is known as Jijing, and it was originally the old capital of the three dynasties of Zhao, Wei and Yan, so it should not be bad. However, compared to Chang'an City, it is naturally far inferior. After all, Zhao Weiyan is a small country, how can it compare to our Great Qin Dynasty! If you young people want to increase your experience, you should go to Beijing to have a look. ”

The young ranger nodded vigorously, and echoed the soldier and said, "Isn't it, we deliberately went to the family to ask for entanglement, just to come to Beijing to take a look and see the extreme prosperity of this world." ”

"Boy, your surname is Ran? This surname is rare, and the former king of the Wei Dynasty was also surnamed Ran. ”

The young man who was still smiling heard this, and suddenly his expression was solemn, and he said: "That's Emperor Wei Ping, and the King of Wu Mourning Heaven is a contemptuous title imposed on Emperor Wei Ping after the Yan Dynasty destroyed Wei. ”

The soldier nodded and said, "I see, I've only heard about it, and I don't know the details." Hey, you can't be a descendant of the Wei Dynasty clan, right? ”

The young man laughed and said, "If I am the queen of the clan, how can I take a group of brothers to be a ranger!" ”

When the soldier heard this, he also felt that his previous guess was really unreasonable, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

After chatting a few more words, the guards let the rangers enter the city, and did not forget to instruct them later: "Don't forget to be a good family when you go back, don't be a ranger again, there is no future!" ”

I saw the teenagers in front of me waving their hands impatiently: "Got it, got it!" ”

......

The north gate has the largest number of people entering the city, which can be described as an endless stream, and there is a long queue at the city gate.

These people were all kinds of people, including peasants, scholars, merchants, and rangers, and they seemed to have nothing to do with each other, and their destinations after entering the city were also different.

This scene is very normal in the capital, which is bustling with people every day. Even if there is a slight drizzle today, it will not affect the flow of people. Even the most brilliant deacon of the Blue Fly Division did not see anything wrong.

No one noticed that some of them, after turning around, quietly converged into a courtyard.

"This time, the Right Protector edict will wait for us to enter Beijing, and there will be a big event!"

"That's right, Jingshi is in danger, and it is not advisable to wade lightly. In the past, we have never had such a precedent for so many rudders to enter Beijing at the same time, and even most of the people in Xiangguo's helmsman came. There must be something important! ”

"Isn't it time to get ready for trouble?"

"I don't know what it is, I'll wait and stay here, waiting for the right Dharma protector's order."

......

Compared with the other three gates, the west gate is the most deserted. After all, the west of the capital division is close to Longxi, and if Longxi is further west, it should be Xiliang. This area is not a densely populated place, and there are naturally relatively few people entering the city, with only sporadic pedestrians passing through occasionally.

There are scholars who swing the folding fan obliquely and walk in, without causing any waves.

There was another yellow fir girl, who entered the city after the scholar, looked at the figure of the scholar, and followed.

One of the soldiers said to his companion, "At first glance, it is a couple." ”

The companion couldn't stop bowing his head, and he thought it was true.

"I didn't expect the dignified Dragon King of the West Sea to intervene in this matter, and I have seen the Dragon King in light clothes."

I don't know how long I walked, but the scholar suddenly heard a crisp voice coming from behind him, and couldn't help but put away the folding fan and slowly turned back.

"It turned out to be Miss Jiajia, this is my internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty, your Jiashi is a Jin minister, why did you also come?"

The Huangshan girl grinned and said, "The Dragon King is here, so this girl can't come?" Since this girl came, she naturally received a hero post. ”

The scholar's expression was uncertain, and he said coldly: "It's not an exaggeration to close the door and make trouble about your own business." But if you call outsiders, it's different. If I had known that he had colluded with Jin Chen, I would not have entered Beijing to make an appointment

The Huangshan girl smiled slightly: "The Dragon King's words are wrong, my clan's name is Jinchen, but in fact, he is divided into Nanzhong and is dominated by martial arts." It is not so much an official of the Jin Dynasty as the largest sect in the world. The sons and daughters of our generation have different doors, but there are no borders, and the king of the East China Sea has invited heroes from the rivers and lakes, so naturally we are indispensable. ”

The Huangshan girl rolled her eyes, and said: "It's you, the Dragon King, as a Qin minister, but you also participate in this conspiracy, and it is strange to seek the king with a minister." ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" The scholar's pupils shrank, and he said in a cold voice: "I am the Dragon King of the West Sea, the bandits of the West Sea, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, how can Qin Chen say it!" ”

The Huangshan girl looked at the scholar seriously, and said word by word: "If you want to say that the Bailan Murong clan can't eliminate the bandits in the West Sea, I don't believe it, in my opinion, this is just a play written and directed by the Bailan Murong clan." It's just that I want to achieve the effect of raising my own respect, and I believe that Xihai has always been surnamed Murong. ”

"What do you want to sign?" The scholar looked directly at the yellow cedar girl.

"The Bailan Murong clan is deeply favored by the Qin Dynasty, and the descendants of the clan have many official bodies. But I don't know how many official residences there are in the Great Qin Imperial Court? The yellow cedar girl said as she tidied up the corners of her clothes after being blown by the wind.

"People who are too smart generally don't live long." The scholar's eyes were cold, and murderous intent gradually appeared in his eyes.

The Huangshan girl was not afraid at all, and sneered: "Not to mention whether the Bailan Murong clan can withstand the wrath of our Nanzhong clan, since I dare to enter Qin alone to go to the appointment, it is not something you can kill!" ”

The drizzle fell, and the sideburns of the scholar and the girl were a little wet.

"Kill it or not, let's give it a try!"

"That will make you die!"

......

Accompanied by a hazy drizzle, the sultry atmosphere spread all over the world of Chang'an.

Even if it is a little abnormal, it has long been covered by this scene of summer rain, and I don't know if anyone can smell a different breath from it.

At least, Pei Shengqin was unaware of those anomalies in Chang'an City.

At this moment, he was repeatedly looking at the prayer post in his hand, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "Go back and tell the King of the East China Sea that Pei will go to the banquet later." ”

"Yes."

The servant who delivered the post responded and slowly left.

Magu was beside her, still holding the ancient talisman and studying, and when she saw Pei Shengqin agreeing, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "The King of the East China Sea is now under house arrest by the emperor, is it a little inappropriate to participate in his banquet?" ”

Pei Shengqin sighed: "I also know that it is inappropriate, but the King of the East China Sea has befriended me many times and is very enthusiastic. Now that I'm invited, I can't help but go, this is a human exchange. ”

Magu reminded: "If the king of the East China Sea really has any disobedient intentions, you must not be with him!" ”

Pei Shengqin looked at her, pouted and said, "Don't worry, I can eat and drink in the past, and I won't talk about anything else, just treat it as an ordinary drinking banquet." If the King of the East Sea wants to win me over to do something illegal with him, then he has found the wrong person. ”
