Chapter 64: Arrival in Kyoto

Although something happened to the train, except for the unlucky ghost before, there were no other passengers who were injured.

So after a brief stop, the train continued to its destination, Kyoto.

After a long journey of one and a half days, Ma Teng finally came to the end of the trip, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Kyoto City.

As soon as he got off the train, Ma Teng felt a big difference.

The previous Julu Station was big enough, but compared to Kyoto Station, I am afraid it is less than one-third of it.

In addition to the floor space, security patrols inside Kyoto Station are also tighter. Everywhere you look, you can see patrols made up of warriors.

"It's worthy of being the national capital, and the kind of place in Minglin City is more like the countryside." With a slight sigh, Ma Teng walked straight in the direction of the exit.

As soon as he arrived at the exit of the station, he saw a young man wearing the uniform of the Demon Suppression Division holding a sign with the word Li Bai written on it.

Needless to say, this must have been arranged by Zhuge Zheng to pick him up.

After waving at the man, Ma Teng walked up to the man.

And the young man must have seen Ma Teng's photo, so he recognized Ma Teng as soon as he walked over.

"Are you the envoy of Li Zhen, I am Yuan Fang, the assistant of Zhuge Yuanzheng, and I was sent by Lord Yuanzheng to pick you up." The man who called himself Yuan Fang said in a respectful tone.

"That's right, I'm Li Bai." Ma Teng nodded.

"Lord Guard, please come with me."

After confirming his identity, Yuan took Ma Teng to the parking lot next to the station.

Arriving at the parking lot, Ma Teng was quickly invited into a six-seater business van.

"Where are we going?" Leaning back on the comfortable leather cushions, Ma asked with a smile.

Hearing Ma Teng's question, Yuan Fang replied while driving: "Because you are here to accept the imperial court's commendation this time, according to the regulations, I should send you to the state guesthouse to stay first." ”

"Then in about a day or two, someone from the ministry will take you to the palace to receive the commendation."

"After the commendation, according to the arrangement of the Yuanzheng, I will take you directly to Wenshu Monastery to report at that time."

"That's how it works."

After listening to Yuan Fang's answer, Ma Teng basically figured it out.

"By the way, this evening, Lord Yuan may meet with you." Yuan Fang spoke again.

"Huh?" Ma Teng didn't expect Zhuge Zheng to actually want to see him at this time. He couldn't guess what Zhuge Zheng was going to do for a while.

But it shouldn't be a bad thing to think about.

Sitting in the business car, Ma Teng enjoyed the scenery along the way in Kyoto, which only took about half an hour. An imposing hotel appeared in front of him. There are three big characters written on it: State Guesthouse. Judging from this appearance, it is equivalent to a five-star hotel in the previous life.

As soon as the car stopped, several uniformed soldiers ran over as soon as possible.

After some questioning and cross-examination, Ma Teng and the others were put in.

However, this is not the end, after entering the interior of the state guesthouse, there is still a need for various registrations. The complexity of the procedure is beyond Ma Teng's imagination.

It took about ten minutes before Ma Teng was officially taken to a luxurious suite.

"Lord Guard, you can rest first, if you have anything, you can find the waiter here, or you can call me directly." After taking Ma Teng through all the processes, Yuan conveniently left the State Guesthouse directly. According to him, if it weren't for Ma Teng, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter here.

After sending Yuan Fang away, Ma Teng immediately went to take a hot shower and change a set of clothes, and then lay down on the soft big bed.

The long journey of nearly two days, even though his physical strength was much higher than that of a normal human, still did not prevent him from feeling tired.

Lying down, Ma Teng fell into a deep sleep, and he did not wake up until there was a knock at the door.

Glancing at the wall clock, he realized that it was already evening.

With a long stretch, Ma Teng got up and opened the door.

However, when he saw the figure at the door, the whole person was stunned.

"How's it going, are you resting?" is still in white clothes and white pants, Zhuge Zheng, I seem to have a similar expression to what Ma Teng saw last time.

"Well, it's okay." Turning sideways and inviting Zhuge Zheng into the room, Ma Teng replied in a flat tone.

"That's good, you're going to live here for a while, just mention it to me if you don't feel comfortable." While looking at the layout in the room, Zhuge Zheng said to Ma Teng.

"By the way, you should be hungry too, it's the first time I've come to Kyoto, I'll take you to a very unique restaurant to ensure that you're satisfied."

As if thinking of something, Zhuge Zheng looked at Ma Teng eagerly.

Ma Teng, who has never been particular about eating, naturally said that it didn't matter.

So, after getting dressed, Zhuge Zheng and I left the state guesthouse with Ma Teng.

Unlike Ma Teng's imagination, Zhuge Zheng and I did not take him to any luxury hotels. Instead, it took him to an old residential area.

Just when Ma Teng was a little confused, a small restaurant that had already lit up a signboard appeared in the sight of the two.

Aunt Zhang's home-cooked food, a very common and common name.

"Could it be that this guy is so picky? Actually brought me to eat in this kind of place. ”

Looking at Zhuge Zhengme, who had already begun to walk inside, Ma Teng complained in his heart.

By the time Zhuge Zheng and I had fully walked in, Ma Teng finally confirmed that this was where they were going to eat.

But he's not that pretentious, anyway, it's someone else's treat, maybe it's a local specialty.

I followed Zhuge Zheng into the small restaurant, and before I sat down, a middle-aged woman with a slight fat figure and a smile on her face walked over.

"Xiaozheng is here, is this your friend?"

"Yes, Aunt Zhang, I'll take him to try your craft."

Seeing the middle-aged woman, Zhuge Zheng's face was also full of smiles.

"Then you sit down first, and today made your favorite crystal elbow." After saying this, the middle-aged woman known as Aunt Zhang returned to the back kitchen again, apparently preparing the dishes.

"Sit down, don't be restrained. It's not that much of a detail here. "Zhuge Zheng, who is dressed in white, I don't care at all about the dirty environment around me and the stools that are a little pulped. I sat down first.

Seeing this, Ma Teng naturally took a stool and sat down at random.

"You must be wondering why I brought you here."

After sitting down, Zhuge Zheng picked up the teapot from the table and poured Ma Teng a cup of tea that had been brewed I don't know how many times.

"Come, tell your story." Needless to say, Ma Teng also knew that Zhuge Zheng was going to tell him a story.

"It's a story, indeed." Zhuge Zheng smiled faintly.

"Although I was adopted by the Demon Suppression Division since I was a child, I am basically no different from an orphan."

"I will also go to and from school like any other child. But I don't have a home to go back to. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Zheng's eyes showed a trace of sadness.

Ma Teng also has some resonance for this, because the original owner of this body is basically in this situation.

"Then one time I came here, and it was the first time I felt at home. Every time I come here, Aunt Zhang cooks for me like a child herself. ”

Hearing this, Ma Teng's face also showed an expression of sudden realization.

But also, demon seeds like them, that is, the product of the Martial God Project, are even worse than those orphans. The human government created them, born without a father and mother, and in the end they have to be like rats crossing the street, can they not be miserable?

While listening to Zhuge Zheng's story and eating the home-cooked food made by Aunt Zhang, I also had a different feeling.
