As soon as he walked to the gate, Ye Chen saw many soldiers in armor standing outside the door, all of them were well-trained, with serious expressions, and there was a forbidden word on their clothes, which at first glance was the Praetorian Guards only around Emperor Qi.

The street where Ye Chen lives is originally a place where people gather, and now that there is a large group of forbidden troops, it is difficult not to attract attention.

"Do you know whose house this is, it turned out that the emperor sent the forbidden army here?" Someone on the street asked.

"I guess it must have been a crime that angered the emperor, and it's the first time I've seen the forbidden army out of the city for so many years." Someone replied.

"Not necessarily, I've been here in the morning, this group of people has been guarding outside since they came, and they haven't gone in to arrest people, I don't think it's like a crime, but like they're here to protect." Said someone who had been here all along.

After hearing this, the man said disdainfully: "Impossible, this is a forbidden army, is it the emperor here?" ”

"Shhhh Someone next to him pulled him and said.

Ye Chen cleared his throat and asked, "Which of you is the leader here, and who sent you?" ”

"May I ask if you are Ye Gongzi, I am Sun Hao, the centurion here." A man dressed slightly differently from an ordinary soldier stepped forward and replied.

"I'm Ye Chen, I don't know what Lord Sun is doing here?" Ye Chen asked.

Sun Hao's serious face softened a little when he heard Ye Chen's words, and said, "See Ye Gongzi, the Holy Lord knows that Ye Gongzi came all the way to the capital to participate in the martial arts test this time, and specially sent me to protect Ye Gongzi's safety again." ”

"Then thank you Lord Sun, and please thank the emperor for me." Ye Chen hugged his fist, although the other party and himself are not allies, but after all, others are here to protect him, and he is still very grateful.

Ye Chen didn't care about this, ignoring the people outside and walked into the courtyard, but the onlookers outside exploded, because Ye Chen has been too famous recently.

However, when they recalled Ye Chen's appearance, they all had the same idea, this turned out to be Ye Chen, who was famous in the capital, how could he look like a powerless scholar, not at all as fierce as rumored.

Now that Zhenyuan Mansion was attacked by orcs, it has spread throughout the continent, especially the Qi country, and people are even more panicked, because in every war, it is some innocent people who suffer in the end. But after knowing that the place of war was Wang Zhitian's Linzhou, people breathed a sigh of relief, the name of "God of War" was not just talk, it had already become a belief for so many years.

And for ordinary people, they don't care about the grievances and games between these big people at all, they only know that with Wang Zhitian's army, Linzhou will definitely not be breached.

The martial arts test once every ten years is a very confidential matter, and only a very small number of officials know about it, but this year, I don't know who leaked the news, and the entire Qi country is in an uproar.

Especially knowing that Ye Chen was not only with Wang Zhitian's daughter first, but now he is favored by Wang Zhitian, as a candidate for the general, and today he was sent by the emperor to protect the forbidden army, it can be said that the people in the entire capital have already heard the name Ye Chen.

"Brother, it's noisy outside, is something going on?" Hongxiang got up and asked, I finally arrived in the capital yesterday, and then went shopping for another day, and the two little girls who wanted to sleep in bed were woken up by the noise outside at the moment.

Looking at the sleepy-eyed appearance of the two little girls, Ye Chen said: "It's okay outside, it's just that there are more people to protect you, do you want to go to sleep again." ”

Zhang Qian yawned, stretched and asked, "No, we've all woken up, brother, don't you need to be busy today?" ”

"I'm fine now, just wait for the emperor to summon me in October, and I'll spend the rest of the time with you." Ye Chen replied.

"Huh? Doesn't my brother need to study hard to prepare for exams? The little girl obviously didn't expect Ye Chen's answer to be like this, before coming, Ye Chen also deliberately said that he would not have time to accompany them after coming to the capital, and he would prepare for the imperial examination.

Ye Chen went to get two pieces of clothes and put them on the two little girls, it is now early autumn, and the weather is a little cooler, "No need, I only know now that this exam is a martial arts exam, my brother is so powerful, no one will be able to beat me." ”

"Hee-hee, that's nature, my brother is the best." Zhang Qian stepped forward and hugged Ye Chen and agreed: "Brother, since you have nothing to do and take us out to play, why don't you go and buy new clothes by the way." ”

"Then you go wash up, and when you finish breakfast, I'll take you there." Ye Chen agreed.

Since they only brought a few summer clothes before they came, the two little girls wanted to bring them, but they were stopped by Ye Chen, so the three of them needed to prepare autumn and winter clothes.

The palace examination does not begin until mid-November, and the end of the martial arts examination will not be announced until December, when the rewards for the martial arts examination and the positions to be held by the jinshi who pass the examination.

Ye Chen wanted to seize a corner of Xiazhou at that time, according to the plan discussed with Wang Zhitian.

To the west of the capital of Qi is a gathering place for many princes and nobles, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is expensive, but even so, there are still countless people who want to move there.

The mansion of Li Zhou, the official of the current dynasty, was built here, and it was quite luxurious, with a large mansion of dozens of acres of land, second only to the mansion of the prime minister of the dynasty and some princes and princes.

Fang Yi, as Fang Zhi's daughter, is now married to Li Xun, the eldest young master of the Li family, and has become a political tool for the marriage of the two families.

"You two stinky boys, you weren't fooling around outside today, and you suddenly remembered to come to see me?" Fang Yi looked at Fang Xing and Li An in front of him and said.

Although what she said was serious, one was her own son who she hadn't seen for many years, and the other was her own nephew, and she still doted on them in her heart.

"Mother said with a smile, my cousin and I have been wanting to come and see you for the past few days, but we have been delayed, and now we have time, and I hope that my mother will forgive me." Li An bowed.

"My cousin is right, if it weren't for some things, we would have come here a long time ago, but it's a pity" Fang Xing also answered, but he was only halfway through the words, and deliberately pretended to be depressed.

Poof.

Li Yi laughed, how could he not know what the two of them were thinking, and said with a smile: "Are you in trouble outside again, or you have no money to spend, you want to ask me for money, this is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, you take it." ”

Li Zhou has been a minister for so many years, and he has countless disciples, I don't know how many people give him gifts and want to get an official position, and there is naturally no shortage of money in the family. (To be continued.) )
