Chapter 38: Ji Yijiu
Early the next morning, after Jiang Yun and his party finished breakfast in the City Lord's Mansion, Ji Feng sent Jiang Yun and his party to Wangsi Pavilion, which was three miles away from Chaoge City, before returning to Chaoge City.
"According to the news received at Shanhaiguan, the abbot and the heads of each courtyard should have arrived in the pickaxe capital." Zhixin rode the iron red horse commonly used in the army, and he was neck and neck with Jiang Yun.
Chaoge City is not very far from the pickaxe capital, about one hundred and thirty-two miles away, Jiang Yun and his party had to slow down their horses when they reached only three miles away from the pickaxe capital.
Because there were more people on the road, Jiang Yun saw that there were envoys from various vassal states and accompanying escorts; There are also some sect families dressed in various costumes; Then there are demon clans that look the same as the human race, but have tiger tails or horns.
All marched in an orderly manner and prepared to enter the capital of the pickaxe.
Jiang Yun and his party also quickly merged into the team that entered the pickaxe capital.
Ho Castle is divided into an outer city and an inner city.
There are eight gates on each side of the outer city of the pickaxe capital, and when they pass through the outer city gates, after passing the inspection, there will be officials who take them to the inner city according to the identity of the comer, and the place that matches their identity.
After Jiang Yun and his party passed the inspection, a young official led Jiang Yun and his party towards the left side of the inner city, the gate of the west city.
The inner city of the pickaxe capital city It is a square city, that is, a city of nine miles square. Its general layout is that there are three gates on each side of the city, that is, the twelve gates of the capital.
There are nine north-south streets and nine east-west streets, that is, nine longitudes and nine latitudes.
In other words, there are three parallel streets leading to each gate, forming a street pattern with left and right entrances, with cars in the center.
Xu took Jiang Yun and his party directly to the door of the East Palace, and it was Ji Yijiu, the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty, who greeted Jiang Yun and others in front of the door.
"Yijiu, if you are disappointed, I hope you will forgive your sins." Ji Yijiu gracefully bowed to Jiang Yun and the others, and confessed.
The current status of Shaolin Temple, as well as Jiang Yun's identity, are naturally worthy of Ji Yijiu's personal reception.
"Amitabha, I want the prince to greet him, and the poor monks and others are terrified." Zhixin folded his hands together and saluted in return.
Ji Yijiu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please go to the East Palace with me first." ”
Ji Yijiu led the way in front, and Jiang Yun and his party followed into the East Palace.
After arranging Jiang Yun and his party and staying in the East Palace, Ji Yijiu left to meet the next batch of distinguished guests.
Jiang Yun and Zhixin asked the chief officials of the East Palace to find out that the abbot Hui Ke and the first seat of each courtyard had not yet come to the capital of Ho.
After separating from Zhixin, Jiang Yun thought about going to the East Palace with Yu Zilan, Wu Qinglan, and the three disciples of the Ten Thousand Flowers Hall of the Heavenly God Realm to find a place to pass on the message to Aunt Su Ma.
Jiang Yun, Yu Zilan, Wu Qinglan and the others walked out of the East Palace, walked two streets to find an inn, and let the three disciples of the Heavenly God Realm live here so that they could pass on the news of the exchanges.
At this time, because the capital of Ho was about to hold a big court meeting, the streets were bustling with people, and people came and went.
Jiang Yun, Yu Zilan, and Wu Qinglan also planned to walk around, but it was getting late at this time, and they had just come to the East Palace today, so they had to return to the East Palace because they were too late to stay outside.
As soon as Jiang Yun and the others returned to the gate of the East Palace, they saw Ji Yijiu coming out of it.
"I was just about to go to look for you, when I heard from my attendant that you had gone out. You've come back just in time, there's a good place, and I don't know if you'd like to go with me. Ji Yijiu wants to befriend Jiang Yun like this, in fact, because the master behind Jiang Yun, the master Xuanwei Fairy, and the Dharma Patriarch of Shaolin Temple, support him, and he can better take over the throne in the future.
Since his father, the emperor, accepted a new concubine and gave birth to an uncle, his position has become precarious.
Great place?
Jiang Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said curiously, "Where is it." ”
Ji Yijiu glanced at Yu Zilan and Wu Qinglan beside Jiang Yun, and said meaningfully: "Well, you'll know when you get there." ”
The other party was the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty, and he offered to take him to a good place, but Jiang Yun was not easy to refuse, and seeing Ji Yijiu, he meant not to let Yu Zilan and Wu Qinglan follow him.
Jiang Yun thought about it and nodded in agreement, Ji Yijiu should not be unfavorable to himself, and he was also very curious about where Ji Yijiu would take him.
Jiang Yun briefly explained to Yu Zilan, and then followed Ji Yijiu out of the East Palace.
Jiang Yun and Ji Yijiu sat in a carriage, first out of the inner city, and then out of the outer city in the north, walking about ten miles, and finally the carriage stopped at the gate of a manor.
Jiang Yun got out of the carriage and saw that the plaque at the door of the manor read "Fengshui Villa" with four big characters.
"Brother Jiang, let's go, let's go in with me." Ji Yijiu took Jiang Yun's arm and walked towards the manor.
But at this moment, the chief official of the East Palace rode a divine red horse and galloped over.
He came to Ji Yijiu's side, knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is a decree in the palace just now, Your Majesty will let you enter the palace immediately." ”
As soon as Ji Yijiu heard that his chief official came to report, he didn't dare to slack off, and said apologetically to Jiang Yun: "Jiang Yun, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect my father to suddenly look for me, I'll let the carriage send you back, we have to come here another day." ”
"Your Majesty must have something important to find His Royal Highness, and we can come here whenever we want." Jiang Yun didn't care about any of this.
"Okay, I'll go first." Ji Yijiu rode on the god's red horse, took the guards and left, leaving the carriage to Jiang Yun.
The speed of the carriage is naturally not as good as that of the god Chima, Jiang Yun glanced at the back of Ji Yijiu and the others leaving, and then glanced at the four big characters "Fengshui Villa", and was speechless for a while, what is this called.
Jiang Yun opened the curtain of the carriage, sat in, and instructed the coachman: "Let's go, go back to the East Palace." ”
As soon as the coachman raised the long whip in his hand, it landed on the horse's back, and the carriage began to run slowly.
The carriage had only run for two miles before it suddenly stopped, almost causing Jiang Yun to fall out of the carriage with inertia.
"What's going on, why did the carriage stop suddenly" Jiang Yun opened the curtain of the carriage door and asked the coachman.
The coachman pointed to the front with his finger and said cautiously: "There is a fight ahead." ”
Jiang Yun looked in the direction where the coachman's finger was pointing, and found that it was a group of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits, and two men in black clothes were fighting.
Two men in Xuanyi, under the attack of a group of brocade guards, looked clumsy and were about to be defeated.
In the end, the two men wearing Xuanyi were captured alive by the Jinyi Guards and escorted to the Jinyi Guards who were watching the battle.
Jiang Yun only found out at this time that Zhu Xiyi was still standing next to the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Zhu Xiyi also found Jiang Yun standing in the carriage watching the battle at this time.
