Near noon, a dilapidated carriage stopped outside the gate of the capital, and five people came down from the carriage one after another.

Seeing that everyone got out of the carriage, Li Gouyu happily took out the broken silver taels from his trouser pocket and gave them to the coachman, and the old coachman took the silver taels and drove away without saying anything.

"My turtle, it turns out that the old man in the imperial city is really the same as the old man in the village said. Raising his head and looking at the magnificent city gate, Li Gouyu exclaimed.

"That's right, this place where every inch of land is valuable, compared to our poor ravine, it is simply a heaven and an underground!" said the country youth, swallowing his saliva.

"By the way, where are you going, Young Master Zong?" Li Gouyu caught a glimpse of Zong Bo planning to sneak away, and turned his head and asked.

"I ...... I'm not on the way with you, if you can't get along anymore, come to Liuyun City to find me. Zong Bo paused, left a few words and rushed into the city.

Gu Xi stood in the corner, staring at the people who had entered the city in graceful and luxurious clothes with wide eyes.

Li Gou put his hand on his eyebrows, stood on tiptoe to look at the scene in the city, and turned his head to look at Gu Xi: "Wang Erniu, you came to the city to sell animal skins?"

"Hehe, that's not for sure, I'm good, maybe I'll be taken by a big family and pulled to be a guard in the hospital. Gu Xi smiled innocently and replied.

"I almost forgot, you kid is a person who can kill a tiger with a sword, there are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and there are more people who are afraid of death, but your skill can make you find food to eat, and you can't starve to death." Li Gouyu said, looking thoughtfully at a tiger skin on Gu Xi's back.

"Erniu, if you mix well, maybe you can become a housekeeper and other positions, and then my brother and I will have to rely on you. Li Gouyu said with a smile.

"No problem, if you have a bite of meat from me, you will have a sip of water to drink, if you are fateful, I will definitely pull you when you happen to meet Brother Dog Leftovers when he is poor. Gu Xi rolled his eyes, patted his chest and said proudly.

Li Gouyu's eyes lit up, patted Gu Xi's shoulder, and led the two of his peers into the city gate.

After observing for a long time, Gu Xi set off, walked to the city gate, and blended into the noisy crowd.

Seeing the continuous decay of the number of people in front of him, Gu Xi felt a little uneasy in his heart, and secretly urged Yue Hai to give him the "Illusion Technique" to constantly strengthen his appearance.

Soon, it was Gu Xi's turn.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city were wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, looked at Gu Xi and asked, "Where are you?"

"Tell your lord, Xiaomin is a hunter in the horse village around Liuyun City, and he has made a lot of animal skins, so he specially came to the capital to get some oil and water. Gu Xi's face was full of smiles, and he specially revealed the animal skin in the package.

"Tiger skin?"

The corners of the officers and soldiers hooked their mouths, looked at the dark-skinned young man in front of them, and secretly whispered: "Boy, animal skins are worth a lot of money, especially the white fox skin on your back, the noble lady in the city likes it." ”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi grinned and said, "What my lord said is extremely true, otherwise how could I trek through mountains and rivers and travel for nearly a few days to come to the capital?"

As he spoke, Gu Xi grinned, secretly took out a silver ingot from below, and stuffed it into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers were secretly happy, skillfully took the silver taels, weighed the weight, and quietly hid them in their sleeves.

"Your Excellency has worked hard, not only to guard the city gate day and night, but also to endure the wind and sun, which is really a model for my generation. Gu Xi clenched his fists and said.

"How can there be, it should all be!" The officers and soldiers were happy, seeing that the black boy would come, and waved their big hands, "Hurry up and enter the city, so as not to miss the opportunity." ”

"Okay. Gu Xi responded and walked into the capital.

......

As soon as he entered the city, Gu Xi was attracted by the traffic and bustling avenues in the city.

The capital has a wide territory, and the buildings and scale inside are far beyond Tianyi City and the previous Biyun City.

When Gu Xi was standing on the street, admiring the beautiful scenery of the capital and sighing at the size of the capital, a thin man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes came from the gate of the city.

"Where are you going, young man?" The thin man walked over with a smile, looked at Gu Xi and asked.

These people entrenched at the gate of the city are inferior people in the capital, and they have no ability, and they can barely eat by leading the way for outsiders.

Unlike ordinary people who lead the way, this thin man secretly gave some silver to the officers and soldiers, and he was able to occupy a good position, and he happened to be able to see the bribe money.

Therefore, he can also see the identity of the people who enter the city from the bribe money, if he takes out a few copper plates, he must be a poor person, and he has no interest in leading the way, if he takes out the silver, the family must have some family background, he will take action, for this kind of people who have just come to the capital to guide the way.

Just now, he saw with his own eyes that this dark-skinned young man gave an ingot of silver to the officers and soldiers, and he was surprised and delighted, knowing that it was enough for ordinary people to give some broken silver taels, and judging from his dress and behavior, this kid was obviously a rich man, and he actually gave a silver ingot.

At this moment, it can be said that he has met a wronged man, he thinks that this son is stupid and has a lot of money, so he came to the capital to squander it.

Thinking of this, the thin man was overjoyed, if he could do his best to serve this master comfortably, he would definitely make a lot of money in one go.

As for the dirty deeds of killing people and overselling goods, he didn't say anything about it, he didn't even dare to think about it in his head, the place he was staying in now was the capital, and most of the people in the city were in peace, after all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who would dare to be presumptuous?

The last time I killed people and sold goods happened a few decades ago, and now I don't know how tall the grave grass is.

"Are you ......" Gu Xi pretended to be puzzled.

In fact, Gu Xi secretly found this person hiding in the corner, sneakily aiming at him, although he didn't know who this person was, but he was still vigilant.

"Childe is coming to the capital for the first time, I'll show you the way, you can just call me a thin monkey. The thin man lowered his voice and deliberately accentuated the word 'childe'.

"Oh. ”

Gu Xi nodded, knowing that this person was just a leader, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

"It's just right, I don't understand the capital, thin monkey, please introduce it to Young Master Ben. Gu Xi smiled and took out another ingot of silver from his pocket.

The thin man stared at the silver, his eyes straightened.

I'm dripping a mother, a piece of silver, I even add up to a year's journey, and it's not more than half of this.

However, just as the thin man stretched out his trembling hand and was about to take the silver, Gu Xi suddenly shrank and took the silver back.

"Childe, what are you ......" The thin man asked puzzled when he saw that the silver that was about to arrive flew away.

"Thin monkey, Young Master Ben doesn't want people to know my identity, you should know what to do. ”

Gu Xi had something to say, and as he spoke, he raised the silver, which could be said to have whetted the appetite of the thin man.

"I understand, the little one hasn't seen the son today, and what he saw is just a mountain forest hunter. "The thin man is also a fine person, so he naturally understands Gu Xi's words.

Gu Xi smiled with satisfaction, casually threw the silver to the thin man, and said, "You said that you know all the places in the city, tell me a good place to go, I want to have lunch and rest by the way." ”

The thin man carefully put away the silver and smiled: "Okay, I don't know if you have heard of the famous 'Red Mansion' in our capital?"

"Haven't heard of it. Gu Xi shook his head.

"Haha, it's a big pity to come to the capital to play and not go to the 'Red Mansion'," the thin man laughed and talked eloquently, "The full name of the 'Red Mansion' is the Yanque Building, which is the first pavilion in the capital, with poems, books, words and paintings, and even more dancing girls." ”
