When Zuo Yin arrived in Bian'an City, it was already afternoon, and the dusk was dying, reflecting the inexplicable sense of twilight in the imperial capital.

The layers of masonry seem to tell the story of an unknown history.

The willows seem to be telling about the reluctant parting.

The atmosphere of the imperial capital is different from the simplicity of the Qin capital, but there is a sense of flashiness.

Yes, flashy, which made Zuo Yin a little uncomfortable.

Having seen so many metropolises, he still likes the simplicity of Qingshan City in his heart. Surrounded by green hills, there is fresh air in the mountains and forests in all seasons, and although the weather is often gloomy, it is also because of this that the people in the neighborhood have a cheerful personality and seem to use this to dispel the negative emotions brought by the weather.

The glitz of Bian'an City is in the complexity of the royal flag at the head of the city, in the exquisite and exaggerated armor of the soldiers defending the city, and in the rouge that seems to be floating all over the city.

Perhaps, this is the first time he has come here, and the environment in which he grew up is completely different from here, which is why he is so uncomfortable.

After all, it is the imperial capital, and if you judge it only from the weather at first sight, it will definitely be biased.

Zuo Yin no longer thought about it, and led the horse into Bian'an City.

The door is like a city.

Zuo Yin was unexpected.

Luodu, Qindu, and Zuo Yin all passed by in a hurry, although Yudu had a night, Zuo Yin did not go out at night, so this was the first time he saw the night scene of a big city.

Brightly lit.

Shops, trading companies, inns, and so on.

On the central avenue, which can accommodate six or seven carriages side by side, it is overcrowded, and when the Spring Festival is approaching, people are purchasing New Year's goods, and the joy on his face makes Zuo Yin involuntarily blend into it.

The sounds of selling, talking, the barking of unknown birds and dogs, mixed with the sounds of rushing into Zuoyin's ears.

Zuo Yin led the horse, squeezed through the crowd, and looked curiously at the attic pavilions around him.

When he walked to an inn with ordinary decoration, Zuo Yin estimated that the price would not be too expensive, so he stopped and watched.

The child at the door here had already noticed Zuo Yin, and when he saw this person stop, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "This master, there are good rooms in this store, the price is fair, the reputation is well-known, come on, please come inside." ”

The just right smile on Xiao Er's face makes people feel like a spring breeze, but he doesn't feel hypocritical at all.

Zuo Yin nodded, someone had already come over to help lead the war horse to the back hall.

It stands to reason that Zuo Yin is still a soldier, and when he comes to the imperial capital, he can naturally live in the post house.

It's a pity that the Spring Festival is approaching, and even the post houses in the imperial capital are crowded with officials and generals from all over the country, most of whom are called to participate in the quadrennial court meeting.

Zuo Yin entered the hall of the inn, but saw that although it was simple, it was free and simple, whether it was the calligraphy and painting on the pillar, or the large chessboard erected in the innermost.

After all, he underestimated the imperial capital, an inn, and it all hid the atmosphere of wealth and nobility.

In the hall of the inn, many people are discussing the convening of the court meeting.

"The quadrennial court meeting, the people of the empire will gather, and it is exciting to think about it."

"An, most of the commanders and governors stationed in various places of the empire will not come, and most of them are civilians."

"Don't worry, as long as I can see Wei Guogong and King Yan, I will have no regrets on this trip to the imperial capital."

"Look at what you're up to, those two are the ones you can meet? This time, I accompanied the dog to participate in the test of Taixue, and at that time, the future fish and carp of the empire will be a refreshing scene. ”

"Yes, Taixue, Wutang, and Guiyiyuan, these three are the cornerstones of the empire."

Zuo Yin listened curiously, and saw that the three people were talking enthusiastically, and they were also kind-faced people, he stepped forward and bowed to his fist: "The kid has something unclear, I implore the three seniors to solve their doubts." ”

These three people were drinking and talking, and suddenly there was a young man standing in front of them, and it was seen that the three of them were secretly cheering in their hearts, this young man seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a pitch-black robe, but the whole person had a momentum, which made people look sideways.

It is like a long knife out of the sheath, sharp and thick.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, you can vaguely see the perseverance and fearlessness in your heart.

The middle-aged man among them had a big mole at the corner of his mouth, and the purple clothes on his body were trimmed with the lines of reply, and he grinned: "Little brother, real people, don't be formal, come and sit together." In his words, he was very polite.

Zuo Yin didn't shirk either, sat down directly, and after asking for some side dishes, he asked: "I don't know what is the origin of this Taixue, the martial arts hall, and the first courtyard?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, a little surprised that Zuo Yin didn't know these common senses, and the middle-aged man in purple among them smiled heartily and resolved the embarrassment.

He replied, "Little brother is probably the first time to enter Beijing, right?" This Taixue, speaking of martial arts, and returning to the first academy are the three cornerstones of the future empire, Taixue cultivates officials, and lectures on martial arts to produce generals, and returns to the first academy, educating the top powerhouses of the future empire, and these three complement each other, so that the empire is now prosperous. ”

After that, the other two middle-aged men in yellow and green raised their glasses, "Cheers to the prosperity of the empire." ”

Zuo Yin also raised his glass and drank with the three of them, thinking a little in his heart. opened his mouth and asked: "Thank you big brother for answering for the kid just now, the kid has another question, I don't know how many people are recruited every year in these three colleges?" ”

The middle-aged man in yellow on Zuo Yin's left side smiled and said, "Look at the appearance of this little brother, are you going to participate?" ”

The three of them had long noticed the saber on Zuo Yin's body, within the empire, walking the world, self-defense weapons are a must, and therefore, almost everyone who travels, everyone has an eye for blades.

The saber on Zuo Yin's body is obviously the standard weapon of the empire, and he is so young, and he is still asking about enrollment, and guess what he does.

It's just that before Zuo Yin could answer, the middle-aged young man in purple had already interrupted, "Brother Jin, what are you asking, Pingshui meets, it's enough to fall in love, why ask so much?" ”

The middle-aged man in yellow hugged his fists and said: "Haha, don't be surprised by the little brother, Jin saw that the little brother was a talent, and he was happy in his heart, so he asked this question, yes, it's enough to be fated to, why bother asking, come, do it." ”

Zuo Yin was a little convinced by the boldness of these three people, "Dry." ”

The four of them drank again.

After putting down the wine glass, the middle-aged man in yellow said: "Of the three academies of the empire, Taixue is the largest, recruiting about 2,000 people every year, but there are many people who come to participate in the exam, and the lecture hall is similar to the Guiyi Academy, and it also recruits about 300 people every year, but the latter two have a large number of participants because the threshold is lower. ”

Zuo Yin nodded, no wonder there are many young people full of vitality on the street, and judging from the clothing accent, many of them are outsiders like him.

Chatting and chatting, the middle-aged man in purple sighed: "I heard that King Yan is sick, and it seems that he will not come this time." ”

The middle-aged man in yellow was still looking forward to seeing Duke Wei and King Yan just now, when he heard the sigh of the middle-aged man in purple, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Hou, what news did you hear?" ”

The middle-aged man in purple said: "According to legend, I contracted an old illness on the battlefield that year, and I had another attack, and the empire also sent the personal physician of the saint to check it out. ”

Another middle-aged man in Tsing Yi lamented: "King Yan has nothing to do, the northern land of the empire depends on him to guard it." ”

The middle-aged man in purple said: "What are you afraid of, King Yan is a strong man in the Spirit Channeling Realm, and there is no problem for Shou Yuan to live to the age of eighty, besides, now the second son of King Yan is said to be able to carry the tripod and has the spirit of a king, plus the current Khan of the Northern Barbarians and the second son of King Yan have grown up since childhood, the two are like brothers, the north of the empire, don't worry." ”

The purple-clothed accent bites heavily, obviously convinced of his news.

Zuo Yin saw that this person was extremely familiar with the northern land of the empire, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Xuanbei Army and the Cangnan Army are listed as the strongest legions in the empire?" ”

The middle-aged man in purple was obviously extremely proud of this topic, patted his chest and said: "Don't hide it from my little brother, brother, I have also seen the atmosphere of the Xuanbei Army, which can be called like a wolf and a tiger, and although the Xuanbei Army has less than 30,000 people, it is changed every two years, if the war comes, the Xuanbei Army expands to seventy or eighty thousand people, it is loose." ”

Zuo Yin said with a smile: "Brother Wen, the empire has such an army, it's really worry-free." ”

The man in Tsing Yi smiled, "That's, what kind of rebels from the Western Wilderness, if they come to the Northland, it won't be wiped out in one day." ”

The three of them all laughed, and Zuo Yin also laughed, just thinking of Zhou Jinkang's talent as a leader, Zuo Yin knew that the situation in the Western Wilderness was not so simple.

Inexplicably, he remembered the girl named Han Wanfeng again, the proud girl.

After entering the emperor**, he shouldn't be so capricious anymore.

After eating, Zuo Yin said goodbye to the three of them and returned to his guest room, and now he had a knife, a book, a bag of wind grass seeds, a few pieces of silver, and things were as simple as they were.

When Zuo Yin meditated, he was already thinking about tomorrow's exams, and when he entered the lecture hall, he was quite confident in himself, the alien attack battle, and the confrontation with Zhou Jinkang's horse team in the Qin Mountains that day, these rich combat experiences, he believed that even within the empire, there were not many peers who had them.

The night is getting deeper, and thinking of tomorrow's test, Zuo Yin is faintly excited.

Who is the enemy in the Empire?
