There was a procession of five carriages and soldiers in the cavalry camp, heading towards the gate of the capital in the distance.

Only the carriage that Zhang Linzi was sitting on, a little shabby, creaking along the way.

Zhang Xiaoxian led the horse, the time was already past noon, and thinking that they were going to enter the unfamiliar capital to find the mansion of the uncle who had never met before, his feet couldn't help but speed up a little.

But when they stepped into the city and saw the streets and the surrounding scenes, their steps involuntarily slowed down.

Is this the legendary capital of Lin'an, the largest and most powerful city? Such spacious and clean streets, such towering buildings, and delicate totems carved on wooden buildings.

The shops on both sides of the road are so big, the lanterns hanging in front of the shops are so red, and the people on the street are like water flowing out of a lake, lingering, and most of the people's faces are very calm, unlike those residents in the border towns, who are always worried about whether this year's crops will grow well, and whether the next year's harvest will make them happy like that good year.

The people in Lin'an City will definitely not have these troubles, so they will be so calm, as if they don't need to worry too much at all, and God will definitely give them everything, calm and relaxed.

The curtain on the carriage window had already been lifted, and Zhang Linzi, like Zhang Xiaoxian, began to be dazzled by the scene outside, and his mouth was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide, at least he never closed it again during this time.

"Hee-hee...... Slow down, wait for me!" A delicate voice came, and a young girl in a big red dress came from behind their carriage, so that both of them couldn't help but be shocked, this voice was like the cry of the beautiful bird in the deep mountains, it was so beautiful and moving, this person seemed to have come out of a painting.

A slightly rich aroma fluttered through, and the slender figure passed in front of their carriage.

It turned out that in front of a shop selling incense powder on their side, there were already two beautiful white girls of about the same age waiting there, looking at the sisters who didn't know what they were fascinated by and forgot to follow.

"Come on, hurry up!" The pretty girl in purple who was waiting over there was giggling and raising her little hand in the direction of Zhang Xiaoxian and them, and kept greeting.

Where had the two teenagers seen such a scene, they blushed, although they knew that the girl was not shouting the two of them, but they felt a burst of happiness in their hearts.

"Lin'an is so good!" Zhang Xiaoxian sighed with enjoyment.

It had been so many years since he left this place, and the impression that he was too young at that time was just a baby, although he strangely remembered that he once had a luxurious and magnificent home, and a father and mother who treated him like a treasure.

"It's getting late, we have to find a place before sunset. Zhang Linzi leaned next to the carriage window and said to Zhang Xiaoxian, who was still in a daze.

Zhang Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and quickly woke up from his reverie, and said dissatisfied; Since we knew that we were coming from the border city, and we could also find out that the team from the direction of the border city had already entered the city, why didn't we send someone to pick us up? ”

Zhang Xiaoxian's dissatisfaction and complaints, of course, were said to Zhang Jiyuan, his uncle Zhang Jiyuan, who had never met since he was a child and was a five-grade doctor in the court.

"Alright, stop complaining, ask for directions. Zhang Linzi said softly.

When Zhang Xiaoxian heard this, he immediately stopped talking, and casually found an old man who seemed to be a permanent resident of Lin'an City, and inquired where the Chaofeng Doctor's Mansion was.

After the old man listened, he carefully pointed out the way to Zhang Xiaoxian, it turned out that Linglong Street, where the Doctor's Mansion is located, is still separated by a distance of half a city, and it is estimated that it will be there after dark.

The old man smiled and said to Zhang Xiaoxian: "Even if you are a young man, you are lucky to find out about my place, if anyone else really doesn't know." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Zhang Xiaoxian wondered.

The old man pointed upwards to the plaque hanging above the door of the shop behind him, which reads "Jiubiju".

said with a smile: "What I have here is the famous Su Xiang silk material, this kind of material is in this Lin'an City, but it is very in demand, and a while ago we just took over the business of the court's doctor's wife, and once went to deliver the goods, so it will be so clear." ”

After listening to this, Zhang Xiaoxian not only thought in his heart: It is worthy of the lintel of the court officials, and the lady is wearing such good materials, so it must be very rich and noble to come to the house, and then think about his father and aunt who have struggled in the mountains for many years and worked hard to fill their stomachs.

Now that they have inquired about where the palace of the court doctor is, the two of them are not in such a hurry as before, first, it is charming everywhere in Lin'an City under the feet of this Tianzi, and second, they are thinking that the person has ignored him for so many years.

When they first came to the capital, the eldest uncle didn't even plan to pick them up, which shows how dull the word family affection is between them.

"Why don't we find a shop to eat and then leave, what do you say?" asked Zhang Xiaoxian through the carriage window.

"Good!" is another simple word, but the voice is hearty.

It seems that Zhang Linzi may not be willing to go somewhere earlier and meet some people who are thicker than water, but they don't have much affection.

At this time, although it was almost dusk, it was obvious that it was not yet the time for dinner, and people were still busy with their own work, busy strolling through the streets before sunset to see the incomparably clear and attractive scene.

The carriage walked down a street and came to a stop in front of a relatively spacious tavern.

Zhang Xiaoxian pushed Zhang Linzi and walked in, and saw that there were not many people in the tavern at this time, only five or six people were sitting around a table, talking about something lively, and the other few sporadic guests looked like sedan chairmen or something, as if they were in a hurry, and they were concentrating on eating food, and most of the plates on the table had bottomed out.

A new guest came in from the tavern, but it didn't attract everyone's attention, and one or two who heard the movement just turned around and glanced at it and ignored it.

Entering the innermost part of the tavern, Zhang Xiaoxian found a relatively large position to settle Zhang Linzi, while he sat next to him and put the knife in a black sleeve on the table close to him.

At this time, the tavern guy came over in a hurry.

Two light side dishes, two bowls of vegetable porridge, and a few steamed buns with white flour, this is the first meal after the two brothers came to Lin'an, the capital.

Maybe it's because I've been driving too long and I'm really hungry, maybe it's the first time I've come to the capital, and there are some excitement factors in my heart, and this meal made the two brothers eat extraordinarily happily.

A burst of laughter came, not far from them, and the guests at the table who were chatting about something seemed to have said something that made them very happy, but the parties were very embarrassed, and their tone was flamboyant but very measured and ridiculous.

Zhang Xiaoxian had already drunk the porridge in front of him at this time, and had eaten dry food, obviously he had eaten before Zhang Linzi who was sitting opposite, and he was bored.

Obviously, the people who were talking about gossip here had been more interested in saying something by the joke just now, and they heard a relatively older man say: "Have you ever heard that in the mansion of His Royal Highness King Xun, it seems that an assassin was killed in the previous ......?"

"Assassin, someone is going to assassinate His Royal Highness? ”

"Cut, that's how the words were spread, in fact, someone who knew the inside story said, what kind of assassin is that person, but a thief, I heard that he is still a cultivator......"

Hearing these words of cultivator, Zhang Xiaoxian's brows moved suddenly, and he listened more carefully.

"Thief, cultivator, this is a bit strange, a few years ago, there seems to have been a cultivator in the palace of King Xun who sneaked in and was seriously injured, how come these cultivators who had a good future are willing to fall and go to the point of becoming thieves, it's a pity, it's a pity......

"What do you know? I heard that the reason why they became thieves was just for a treasure that could help them cultivate, and I heard that this treasure caused a tragedy back then!" said the older man mysteriously.

"Yes, yes, I've also heard about the Lin family's murder case, but we don't know what's going on, you know?" someone asked the old man at this time.

The older man shook his head with some regret, lowered his voice and said: "This matter is a long story, it was fifteen years ago, at that time, the entire Lin'an City knew that the whole family of the merchant Jia Lin family was killed, but no one knew why it was killed, and then I heard a person who had a relationship with a chief eunuch in the palace say that it was originally for a treasure, which was dedicated to the Son of Heaven by the Lin family, and the Lin family was destroyed because of this treasure!" Later, this treasure was somehow brought to his palace by His Royal Highness King Xun, but who thought that it attracted the concern of some cultivators. ”

"Then, what kind of thing is that treasure, and how did it bring such a big disaster to the Lin family?" someone asked in surprise.

"I heard that it is called a blood unicorn, a piece of beautiful jade that is red all over the body, it is a unique treasure in the world, but this thing is very evil, after being dedicated to the emperor's harem by the Lin family, two little princes died in the harem in a few days, one is twelve years old, and the other is just a full moon, hey, these are the only two princes of His Majesty the Emperor, what a crime!"

"In this way, the Lin family is indeed hateful, don't say that killing a thousand times is not enough to make up for His Majesty the Emperor's ......losses," the people in the capital, who were a little worried about the country and the people, began to say with righteous indignation.
