Since 951 A.D. Taizu Guo Wei established the Zhou Dynasty, it is convenient to set the capital in Kaifeng, Yingzong Chai should respond to the time, changed its name to Tokyo, it has lasted 161 years, the population reached about 1.5 million at the peak, and it was the largest metropolis in the country and even the world at that time. Its outer city was built in Zhou Taizong Xiande three years, the circumference is fifty miles and one hundred and sixty-five steps, the city wall is four zhang high, five zhang and nine feet wide, there are twelve city gates. There are still inner cities and imperial cities in it, which are majestic and magnificent, and are unparalleled in the world.

From Jeju to Tokyo, it is connected by the Gojang River, so the transportation is very convenient. On 9 February, Gu Haotian and his entourage arrived outside the city of Tokyo, where they disembarked at the pier in the northeast corner of the city and entered the city through Shin-Somon.

As a later generation, Gu Haotian's understanding of Tokyo City began with Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map". Later, from all kinds of books, I pieced together his appearance in my mind one after another, but I couldn't always spell out "the green building painting pavilion and the embroidered bead curtain." The carved car is stationed in the heavenly street, the BMW is competing on the royal road, the gold is dazzling, and Luo Qi is fragrant. Picture.

Now when this unparalleled city really appeared in front of him, but he couldn't describe his feelings in words, his most intuitive experience is two, one is coercion, when the wall of more than ten meters high suddenly stood in front of him, he was like a child who had never seen the world, he was stunned, stunned for a while. The second is the bustle, where there are pedestrians, vendors, livestock, and sedan chairs everywhere in front of and behind you, and all kinds of noisy sounds converge into a strange prosperity.

On the side of the moat of nearly thirty meters, everyone connected with Zhu Gui, who was already waiting at the bridge, so they took the hired carriage into the city.

After Zhu Gui entered Beijing at the beginning of the first month, after several investigations, he bought a medium-sized inn on Liyu Street, Hengjie in the second Tianshui Lane, east of Xiangguo Temple, and then bought a courtyard as a residence for personnel. After more than 20 days, in a hurry, and after spending a sufficient amount of silver, it was just sorted out in the past two days.

Horse-drawn carriages walk in the bustling street market, only to see the houses along the street row upon row, tea shops, wine shops, foot shops, temples, public houses, etc., all walks of life, everything. The market is crowded with pedestrians, merchants, gentry, officials, hawkers, monks, all of whom are of all religions and nine streams. After walking for more than an hour, they stopped in front of an inn, Gu Haotian, Xu Guanzhong, Yan Junqing and others got off in front, and the rest turned a corner and entered the courtyard behind.

Gu Haotian raised his eyes and saw that there were five two-story storefronts in front of him, and there was a signboard hanging on the eaves of the second floor, which said "Shanshui Inn", but it was the meaning of Liangshan Shuibo. Entering is a lobby, the second and third are guest rooms, Zhu Fu has been transformed according to the layout of Shilixiang, high and low grade matching, but also elegant. It's just that the time is in a hurry, and it has not yet officially opened.

Due to the large number of people coming this time, the entire Sanjin courtyard was wrapped. Gu Haotian and Pan Jinlian lived in a small suite, and the rest were properly accommodated. Yan Junqing was going to live with relatives and friends in the capital, and he was a little reluctant to leave to see the excitement here.

"Haotian, when did you set up such a big property in the capital, it's really hidden, but it's cheap for me, and now I can't leave."

"If Brother Yan doesn't think this place is shabby, just stay down, and you can't ask for it."

For Yan Junqing, Gu Haotian did not shy away from suspicion, many of the things he did when he was in Jeju had already been faked by him, and there was also a relationship with Kong Yuhan, in fact, he still wanted to pull him into his side in his heart, so he left it to him.

After being settled, Zhu Gui and Xu Guanzhong came in together, Pan Jinlian retreated into the inner room after making tea, and Zhu Gui reported the relevant matters since entering Beijing.

"On the fifteenth day of the first month, I went to Beijing, entrusted a number of tooth people, and finally found this place. I check it on all sides, it is a good place, a few streets to the west is Xiangguo Temple, not far from the south is the Bian River, there are shops and inns all around, although it is not the main street, but there is also the benefit of being quiet in the middle of the noisy, with the food and wine we have at hand, it will prosper in a little time. ”

"Then Zhao Ding and the King of Huainan County have ever seen above?"

Gu Haotian is not worried about business problems, but he is most concerned about how to gain a firm foothold.

"Bachelor Zhao Ding has already seen it, and this inn also helped when handling documents in the yamen. The king of Huaihai was in a hurry for a while and had not yet visited. ”

"Then you go and make an appointment with Bachelor Zhao Ding, and when you have time to come over for a gathering recently, I will say that I want to thank you in person."

Next, the three of them talked about some arrangements for the next operation of the inn, and then went to work everywhere.

After a tiring journey for several days, Gu Haotian took the time to rest for a while, and when he woke up, it was dusk, and everyone had dinner and went to Bian River to play together.

Located in the south of Tokyo, the Bian River passes through the city from west to east, and is the most important waterway in Tokyo, and it is also an important passage for grain to enter Beijing and commodity transportation, so its coastal commerce is very prosperous, which is the place where the "Qingming Riverside Map" was filmed. Gu Haotian was yearning for it when he watched "Qingming Riverside Picture" in his previous life, and now it is close at hand, of course, he can't let it go.

At the exit of the alley, go south along the second sweet water lane, and you will enter the block along the Bian River. Although it was getting late, the lights on the streets showed the bustle of the market. A few people walked slowly along the street, but when they saw a crowd of shops and pedestrians, the pomp and circumstance could not be described. Gu Haotian has also been to many commercial districts in the metropolis in later generations, but compared with those cold glass counters, high-rise buildings that people look up to, he always feels that this place is more down-to-earth, antique wooden buildings, fragrant snacks, a dazzling variety of goods and department stores, and pedestrians dressed in different clothes, Gu Haotian really felt the atmosphere of ancient society for the first time.

Pan Jinlian tugged on Gu Haotian's sleeve tightly, excited like a country girl who entered the city for the first time, and her eyes were too busy to look around.

"Little official, what is that?"

Gu Haotian looked at it, but it was a pastry shop, and there were several people around him, knowing that this little woman was greedy. He said,

"Go over and buy some, let's try them."

Pan Jinlian was secretly happy when she heard this, so she jumped and went.

Let's say that around the corner not far from the pastry shop, there are a few idlers, and a few pairs of eyes are only wandering through the crowd, not knowing what they are looking for. At this moment, one of them suddenly brightened his eyes and said to a leader.

"Brother, there's a woman over there who is smart."

"There?"

When a few people on the side heard this, they all turned their heads together, and they all stared at the bright-eyed woman in front of the pastry shop for a while.

"Huh! I waited for this neighborhood to guard it every day, why haven't I seen this stunning woman, she must be from outside, just to start. ”

The man at the head immediately determined the goal, and motioned to the two idlers around him to go over to look for trouble.

Before the shop, Pan Jinlian had just bought a large bag of pastries and walked back with joy, when she suddenly found two strange men with evil smiles in front of her, panicked, and was about to call out.

"This little lady is so good-looking, could it be that she met in that building, and accompanied her brother to eat and drink."

The two idlers didn't wait for her to speak, they had already pulled her arm forward, but they spilled the freshly wrapped pastry on the ground.

"Little official!" Pan Jinlian exclaimed.

"What a little official, there are big officials to accompany you tonight, you ......, ah!"

Before the two gossips finished speaking, they suddenly felt a huge pain in their wrists, as if they were caught by iron tongs, and immediately let go of the woman's arm and screamed loudly.

"The birdman who came here, dare to care about grandpa's good deeds?"

The two turned their heads to look, but they were two young men of seventeen and eighteen, and they immediately opened their mouths and scolded.

The two young men didn't reply, they used their fists and feet together, and the two idle men were immediately beaten to the ground.

"The wild man who drilled out of that place, dare to spread wild in my Niu Er's land, don't die."

When several men around the corner saw that their accomplices were beaten, they immediately shouted and surrounded them.

But the two young men were not timid at all, and only beat the idle men screaming again and again, and retreated.

"Grandpa will let you go tonight, and he will give you a good look tomorrow." The leader named Niu Er saw that he couldn't get any benefits, and retreated back insultingly, and his eyes glared at Pan Jinlian fiercely.

The two young men were still unsatisfied, and were about to chase after them, but they were stopped by a voice behind them.

"Qin Sheng, Shui Sheng, don't entangle him, and let him go."

Let's say that Qin Sheng and Ruan Shuisheng were already taking people to protect them, and just now they saw those two people teasing Pan Jinlian, who were willing to humiliate the people around the petty officials, and immediately taught them a hard lesson.

And Gu Haotian was comforting the frightened Pan Jinlian at this time, but he was thinking about the name he heard just now, "Niu Er", could it be the one Yang Zhi killed when he bought a knife, if it was true, it would be a bit interesting, I didn't expect that when I arrived in Tokyo, the first thing I encountered was such a number one person.

After such an episode, everyone's interest in playing has also gone a lot, so a few people went to Xiangguosi Bridge, hastily watched the night view, and then turned back.

When they returned to the Shanshui Inn, it was already midnight, and everyone went to rest.

Gu Haotian was about to rest, only to see Zhu Gui come over and say, he went to Zhao Ding's house tonight, and had already made an appointment to meet him at the inn tomorrow evening, he told Zhu Gui to prepare carefully tomorrow, and then went back to the room with Pan Jinlian.

After some freshening up, looking at Pan Jinlian who was palpitating, Gu Haotian deliberately quipped:

"I told you not to come with me, you have to come, take a look, fight for some and be robbed, and stay at home obediently in the future, otherwise you will be abducted one day."

"Hmph, you're all behind, so I'm not afraid."

Pan Jinlian replied with a pout, but buried her head in Gu Haotian's arms, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, but her heart unconsciously relaxed. She secretly thought that as long as there was a little official, she didn't have to worry about anything, and then she raised her head, looked deeply at this handsome face that she couldn't see enough every day, and gently imprinted her red lips on that soft place.

On the first day of Tokyo, he encountered such a bad thing, Gu Haotian deeply felt the squalor and darkness behind the prosperity of this city, and many things must be so easy to haunt next, he made a cup of hot tea, sat at the table and opened the plan about Tokyo made on Liang Shan, and carefully deliberated about it.
