Chapter 8 Enter the Imperial Capital
Han Ziyu carried a pot of wine, looked at Ling Feng's departing back, and said with a smile: "Huang Linggong, what do you think of Ling Feng?" ”
"This person is very deep in the city, until the end you will never know what he is thinking, didn't he invite you to go to Chuangu County to drink, you might as well take a look."
Han Ziyu smiled: "I'm not going, that place is too far away." ”
Han Zixu raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he took a few copper coins in his hand and spread them on the table, and suddenly, Han Zixu's face was surprised.
"Big brother, what's wrong, but what did you find?" Seeing this, Han Ziyu asked; The other two also looked at him in unison, Han Zixu's divination hexagram is very accurate, and it is generally difficult to find a thousand gold.
Han Zixu said: "Ling Feng, this person is not simple, we all underestimate him!" ”
"How?"
Huang Linggong asked.
Han Zixu pointed to the copper coin on the table and said, "Everyone, please see, the name of the divination under the Qiankun hexagram is Qiankun, the dry is the sky, and the Kun is the earth; These seven copper coins seem ordinary, but three of them are above the tail, and they want to rush into the sky, like a flying dragon circling, which is unspeakably expensive; And under this three copper coins. ”
After explaining the hexagram in detail, Han Zixu said: "Even if he is a rich and noble person, there is no such hexagram, Ling Feng is by no means a fish in the pond, he will become a great weapon one day!" ”
Receiving Han Zixu's affirmation, everyone did not have any suspicions, and immediately, everyone present gasped, originally thinking that Ling Feng was just a passing businessman, but they didn't expect such a big background
Imperial capital.
Fengtian Pass, also known as Nanguan, is located in the south of the imperial capital.
As the southern gateway and important pass of the Golden Dragon Dynasty, this pass is extremely steep; The mountains in the south, the Yellow River in the north, the mountains are staggered, it is a natural danger, there is the trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", it is the place where the soldiers of all dynasties must fight.
In two days, Ling Feng and Xiao Anzi finally arrived at Fengtian Pass.
Ling Feng stopped Xiao Anzi and asked Xiao Anzi to stop the carriage in front of Fengtian Pass.
Walking down from the carriage, Ling Feng stood in front of Fengtian Pass, looking at the majestic vicissitudes of Fengtian Pass, his heart was peaceful.
I have long heard that the imperial capital is such a majestic pass, and today I finally see it, which used to be only macroscopic on the map, but now, it is really seen, and the effect is naturally different; The emperor has such a pass, he is afraid that no matter how many thieves there are, he will not be able to succeed, Ling Feng thought in his heart.
"Young master, when you enter this Fengtian Pass, you will arrive at the imperial capital, where do we settle?"
Xiao Anzi touched her belly, obviously hungry.
Rushing for days, the wind and dust were served, and the two of them ate dry food, and they couldn't stand hunger; Ling Feng looked at Huichengguan, and then retracted his gaze: "Okay, let's continue on our way, let's find an inn to fill our stomachs when we enter the city." ”
"Okay."
Xiao Anzi's face was delighted, and after Ling Feng returned to the carriage, he pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, pulled a whip flower with his right hand, and shouted, "Drive!" ”
With a neighing sound, the horse spread its hooves and pulled the carriage to gallop quickly, the wheels rotated, and the carriage drove through the Fengtian Pass and went straight to the imperial capital.
At noon the next day, Ling Feng and Xiao Anzi arrived in the imperial capital.
At the city gate, rows of fierce soldiers wearing steel swords and armor stood at the gate of the imperial capital.
These soldiers stood at the gate to set up a checkpoint, stuck at the city gate, and everyone who entered the city had to pay a checkpoint fee to enter the imperial capital.
"Young master, the city gate is blocked, we estimate that we will have to wait a while before we can enter the city."
Xiao Anzi sat in the carriage and saw pedestrians standing at the city gate lined up outside the city gate, especially at the city gate, an old man was reasoning with the officers and soldiers, which made all the people who were going to enter the city gate blocked outside the city gate.
"Well, what's going on?"
Hearing this, Ling Feng got out of the carriage.
His eyes fell on the city gate, only to see a light old man in a black and brown robe standing at the city gate, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the general standing at the city gate, and angrily reprimanded: "The imperial capital city is the important land of the Son of Heaven, and it is your duty to guard the city gate, why do you set up a private checkpoint at the city gate to stop the people entering and leaving, what kind of system is this?" ”
The old man's voice was old and full of confidence.
As he spoke, he was righteous and heroic, which made the people standing outside the city look sideways for a while.
The general of the private checkpoint turned pale, looked at the old man, and said angrily: "Old man, go back if you don't pay the money, don't grind in front of Lao Tzu, if you anger Lao Tzu, the consequences will not be something you can bear. ”
The old man snorted and said, "The old man is standing here, how are you doing?" ”
With a sonorous sound, the war knife on the waist of the defending general was unsheathed, the bright sword flashed with a cold killing machine, and the war knife rested in front of the old man's neck, as long as the war knife went forward an inch, the blade could cut the old man's throat.
Ling Feng was thinking about how to donate to the official in his heart, and after seeing the old man, his heart moved.
Dare to reprimand the guards at the city gate, it is obvious that the old man is not an ordinary person, maybe he is a big official of the imperial court, and at least he should be a big family in the imperial capital.
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped out of the carriage, pushed away the pedestrians crowded in front of him in three or two steps, came to the old man's side, took out a few taels of silver from his waist, and handed them to the general defending the city.
"This general, don't be like the old man, there are pedestrians behind, please let him go quickly."
Ling Feng smiled and handed the silver to the soldier.
Normally, the toll to enter the city is two cents of silver, but now Ling Feng directly gave a few taels, and the soldier guarding the city was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and his eyes were straight, but only for a moment, he reacted again, this is the so-called accepting bribes.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
The soldier took the silver into his arms and whispered to Ling Feng and the old man.
Although it was a bit dangerous to accept bribes, it was difficult for him to resist the temptation, and he originally wanted to clean up the old man who didn't know the height of the sky, but now it seems that he can only forget it.
"Old man, hurry up, the people behind you still have to hurry."
Ling Feng smiled at the old man and stretched out his finger to the pedestrians who were waiting in line to enter the city.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, the old man flicked his sleeve robe and walked towards the city, Ling Feng was stunned, but he didn't expect the old man to accept his affection.
"This old guy is too rude, we helped him, he still has this stinky appearance, who to show it." Xiao Anzi pouted, indignant in his heart.
Ling Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go into the city too." ”
The two of them almost entered the city with the old man, and the old man did not go far, but stood more than ten meters in front of him, as if he was waiting for Ling Feng.
Ling Feng walked over: "Old man, what are you?" ”
The old man's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "Young man, although the old man thanks you for your kindness, your actions have made the general guarding the city even more arrogant, and it is really not worthy of encouragement. The imperial capital city is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and a general defending the city is so rampant, this wind cannot be long! ”
