Chao Gai and his entourage walked and stopped, out of Caozhou and went straight to the Daimyo's Mansion, the Daimyo's Mansion, the Northern Song Dynasty set the Daimyo's Mansion as Beijing, and the old site was in the southeast of Daming County, Handan City, Hebei Province. Song Renzong built the capital in the second year of Qingli, known as "Beijing" in history, and was the capital of the Song Dynasty. At that time, the population of the Daimyo's Mansion was more than one million, and it was mentioned many times in "Water Margin", but it was later submerged. Now the site of this Song Dynasty city is completely preserved in the sand of the Yellow River 4 meters below, and once unearthed in the future, it will be as shocking as the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy.

The Daimyo's Mansion in the Song Dynasty is an important town in the north, connecting the sixteen states of Youyun in the north, Bianjing in the west, the sea in the east, and Shandong and Hebei in the south, the geographical location is very superior, and it is also quite prosperous, with a population of one million and a wide range of soldiers.

The book said that it was cut short, without a word, and on this day he came to the Daimyo's Mansion, Chao Gai looked up, the city wall was as high as several zhang and solemn, the vermilion city gate, there were two teams of soldiers guarding on both sides of the door, all holding spears and long knives, and the people who came and went in and out of the city were densely packed, rubbing shoulders one after another.

Chao Gai saw the ancient big city for the first time, and his heart was a little shocked, and he saw with his own eyes that this ancient metropolis was much more majestic than the imitation of later generations, which shocked people's hearts, and if they were a little less courageous, they could be scared to pee.

A few people drove into the city, found a luxurious and clean inn in the city, found a few clean guest rooms to live in, and handed over the horses to the innkeepers.

After arranging the accommodation, Chao Gai walked out of the inn with the two people of Yutai Misheng, ready to go to the city to slip around, and the three of them walked in the city, the sun shined between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt cornices, the high fluttering shop signs, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the indifferent and comfortable smiles, all of which reflected the pride of the Tang Dynasty public in the prosperous era. On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. The streets stretch to both sides of the city, always to the quieter suburbs outside the city, but the streets are still full of pedestrians: some carrying burdens, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to pull wagons, and some stopping to enjoy the scenery of the Bianhe River. With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are dotted with teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses and so on.

Without the hustle and bustle of the modern city, there is such a historical accumulation, thick and peaceful, and the cover is dazzling, and I can't help but secretly praise the wisdom of the ancients.

Chao Gai and the others were strolling down the street, and suddenly saw a burst of chaos in front of them, densely surrounded by a group of people, not knowing what they were doing, and the three of them stepped forward curiously to see what was going on.

When he came closer, Chao Gai looked at it and saw what was going on, it turned out to be a young man, the young man passed by the Daimyo's mansion penniless, desperate, and couldn't pull his face to beg for art, so he fell hungry on the side of the road, with air in and out of breath, and he couldn't live when he saw it.

Chao Gai shook his eyes and looked at the guy carefully, although his hungry face was bloodless, but he could see that he was a beautiful guy, with good facial features, embroidered with landscape tattoos, handsome and extraordinary.

Seeing that the young man couldn't survive, Chao Gai separated the crowd left and right, walked in, and the two people behind him, Yu Tai Misheng, followed in.

Walked to the young man and probed his nose with his hand, there was still breath, and there was salvation, Chao Gai couldn't help but say, let Mi Sheng carry the beautiful young man behind him, quickly returned to the inn, found a room to settle down, and then ordered someone to ask a doctor to grab medicine and boil medicine.

After this effort, it was midnight, Chao Gai ordered the two men to take care of it, and the others went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, Chao Gai finished washing, played two boxing exercises in the courtyard, moved his body, and then arrived at the room of the guy he saved yesterday, and at a glance, the guy had just woken up, his mental state was very good, and his face was bloody, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

As soon as the beautiful young man saw Chao Gai walk in, the two guys told him the ins and outs of the future, and they knew that the person who came in front of him was his savior.

got off the bed at the moment, pushed the golden mountain to bow like a jade pillar, and said in the innermost: "Yan Qing has thanked the benefactor for saving his life, and he will never give up in the future."

Chao Gai helped Yan Qing up, and when he heard Yan Qing's words, Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, as a person who has crossed over in modern times, Yan Qing's name is like thunder, and he immediately asked: "Yan Qing?" Are you the prodigal son Yan Qingyan Xiaoyi? ”

Yan Qing was stunned for a moment when she heard that her benefactor knew her name, and then asked, "The benefactor also knows Xiao Yi's name?" didn't know the benefactor's name, and let Xiao Yi know which hero saved his life. ”

Chao Gai laughed and said: "The prodigal son Yanqing is smart and clever, excellent in martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, sumo singing and singing, I don't know."

"That benefactor's honorable name?" Yan Qing asked again.

"A certain family's surname is Chao Minggai, and he lives in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Jeju, Shandong." Chao Gai laughed and said.

"Ahh The benefactor is the righteous and cloudy Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai? Yan Qing exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, that's right." Chao Gai nodded and said.

Seeing Chao Gai nodding, Yan Qing bowed and said: "I heard the name of Chao Gai, the king of Tota, earlier, but I didn't expect that the benefactor is, Xiao Yi's parents died when he was a child, and in the future, Xiao Yi will be the benefactor's family slave, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire."

Chao Gai helped Yan Qing up again, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Xiaoyi has nowhere to run, then he will live here in a certain family, and he will be my Chao Gai's brother in the future, don't mention any family slaves."

Chao Gai saw that he had accepted Yan Qing, and the joy in his heart was mentioned, if you want to say that the ten most popular people in the Water Margin, Yan Qing can definitely enter the top three, and benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith are gathered together.

But Chao Gai was also a little puzzled, according to the original text of the Water Margin, Yan Qing was taken in by the jade unicorn Lu Junyi since he was a child, but now how is it different from what he said, this Yan Qing has not met Lu Junyi, is it because of his own appearance, the butterfly effect appeared, and history was changed.

Yan Qing is also one of the rare handsome guys in the Water Margin, nicknamed "The Prodigal Son", he was originally Lu Junyi's confidant, he can do everything with the flute and singing, and he shoots a good arrow, and has the skill of piercing Yang in 100 steps. Yan Qing was wandering when he was a child and was taken home by Lu Junyi as a family, Lu Junyi doted on him very much, treated him very well, when he was a child, he found a famous family to make a beautiful tattoo for him, the tattoo is mainly composed of the front chest, the landscape painting of both arms and the blue bird (eagle) on the back, the landscape painting originated from a Song Dynasty landscape painting Su Dongpo's "Three Friends of the Cold Year", including pine, bamboo, plum three elements, embodies the noble character of Yan Qingyu clean ice clear, proud frost and snow. It is also to reflect Yan Qing's loyalty, bravery, benevolence, wisdom, and faithfulness, so he made such a wonderful tattoo for the master to find him, and we can see in the story of the Water Margin that these virtues have been most perfectly embodied in the prodigal son Yan Qing.
