The lively Imperial Capital City is located in the heart of Tianyao Kingdom. The entire imperial capital is all boxy, and in the middle is the place where the royal palace is located.

The imperial capital city is the largest city in Tianyao Kingdom, and it is the existence that Tianyao people yearn for.

For the sake of their dreams, everyone came here in the hope that they could show their strengths.

Dijing is the place where the dream begins, and countless heroes have come here from all over the world.

Looking at the magnificent and tall city gate in front of him, Jin Se couldn't help but sigh Is this the imperial capital?

On the majestic and towering city gate, there are three big characters engraved - Yongding Gate. The bright red and vigorous characters attract attention, and people can't help but be quiet.

On either side of the gate stood the guards of the gate. Men and women, young and old, who enter the city, are examined.

If there is no problem in checking the identity, it will be released. The inspected team sent a long line. Jinse's carriage also followed the procession slowly.

After a period of waiting, we finally arrived at the city gate.

"How many people? What is it called? What are you doing in Imperial Capital? ”

"Three. Zhong Yi, Qian Bao, Zhuang Jinse. We came to Dijing City to do business. Old Uncle Zhong seemed to be very familiar with the inspection, and he answered fluently.

The soldier lifted the curtain and looked inside. Jinse didn't wear a hat, and he looked at it. There was also a young woman without a hat.

After checking that there were no problems with the carriage, Jin Se and the others successfully entered the Imperial Capital City.

Jin Se couldn't help but look out of the window, passing through the city tower, the dazzling sunlight shone through. Jin Se took a moment to see what he was seeing.

From a distance, you can see the walls of the royal palace, and up close, you will see various government offices. As the horse fork slowly drove in, Jinse saw all kinds of shops, large and small.

Old Uncle Zhong drove the carriage all the way to a Futong inn next to the post station.

After a month-long trip, Jin Se can finally get a good rest tonight.

The three of them asked for two rooms, one room for Jin Se and one room for Qian Bao and Uncle Zhong. After putting away the baggage and eating something briefly, Jin Se collapsed on the bed.

Zimu, I'm coming! You wait for me!

With great anticipation for the future, Jin Se fell asleep.

On the second day, Jin Se, who had been well recuperated, came early to look at the door of Qian Bao's room. Qian Bao hadn't woken up yet, and Uncle Zhong opened the door for her.

"Old Uncle Zhong, let's go eat something. I'm going out today. Jin Se smiled and invited Uncle Zhong to have breakfast together.

"Okay, I'll freshen up and I'll come." Old Uncle Zhong touched his goatee. Being able to return to the Imperial Capital City is also in a good mood.

The two of them asked for two bowls of noodles and ordered a plate of scallion pancakes.

Eating noodles, Jin Se briefly explained to Uncle Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, you are a wise man, and it is up to you to find a house." It doesn't matter how big it is, but it has to be quiet. It's best to bring a small courtyard. ”

Since Jin Se was going to live in the imperial capital city for a long time, it was best to have a house of his own. In ancient times, the house price was not expensive, and it was definitely enough to buy a house with a yard with the silver in Jinse's hand now.

"No problem, leave it to the old man. You will be sure to find a comfortable place to stay. Old Uncle Zhong smiled.

Jin Se took out a 100 taels silver ticket from his sleeve: "I'll give you 100 taels of silver tickets first, and then ask me if it's not enough." ”

"Enough, I don't need that much." Old Uncle Zhong accepted the money, "I'll find a house and buy some things for Miss." I'll take the more back and return it to you. ”

The two of them had breakfast, and Jin Se bought some cakes for Uncle Zhong to bring to Qian Bao.

She set off from the inn, ready to surprise Zhou Zimu.

Jin Se asked for the address of the Jingzhao Yamen. The place where Jingzhao Yamen is located is far away from the Futong Inn where Jin Se lives.

She walked for a long time to find Jingzhao Yamen. Jin Se, who was exhausted, thought that he would be able to see Zhou Zimu immediately.

She briskly pulled herself together and straightened up her clothes.

I haven't seen Zhou Zimu for a long time, she hopes that Zhou Zimu will see her for the first time, she is beautiful.

Taking a deep breath, Jin Se knocked on the door of Jingzhao Yamen.

Knock knock knock......

The door of the Jingzhao Yamen was opened, and a servant walked out of it.

"Who's here? What's the matter? ”

"Hello, I'm Zhuang Jinse from Yangcheng. came to find Zhou Zimu, who had just joined Jingzhao Yamen not long ago. Can you give me a message? Jin Se smiled in a friendly manner.

The official didn't even think about it: "No, we don't have a name for Zhou Zimu." ”

After saying that, he was about to go in, but Jin Se hurriedly stopped him: "How come, I saw his order." It does have the seal of the Jingzhao Yamen on it. ”

How so? Obviously, he has seen the order, and he personally sent Zhou Zimu out of the city. What a big living person, how could he not be there.

"Why are you endless, I said that there is no one named Zhou Zimu here. If you make noise at the gate of the yamen again, I'll arrest you and believe it or not! He turned and went into the yamen, and closed the door.

Jin Se didn't give up, she hurriedly reached out, trying to stop the other party from closing the door. But it was a step too late, and the other party's door was closing.

Not only did her hand not stop the other party from closing the door, but she also injured her wrist because the other party was closing the door and she was pushing the door.

Enduring the pain, Jin Se left Jingzhao Yamen and returned to the Futong Inn.

I don't know if it's the pain in my wrist or I can't find Zhou Zimu's worries. Jinse's eyes were blurred with tears.

What to do? Zimu is not in Jingzhao Yamen, where did he go? Did he have an accident, the road from Yangcheng to Dijing City is so far, how dangerous it is for him to be alone.

Jin Se thought of the nightmare he had after Zhou Zimu left. In her dream, a tiger attacked Zhou Zimu, and the tiger and blood were so real that she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Dreams are all reversed, they are reversed! Jin Se told himself over and over again, trying to brainwash himself. Calm yourself down.

Jin Se, who was immersed in worry, was in a trance, and he didn't even pay attention to the people next to him.

"You little girl, why don't you look at people when you walk. Bumped into the old woman me! The old woman who was hit yelled in dissatisfaction.

Jin Se hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry, mother-in-law, you're fine." ”

"It's okay, my mother-in-law is tough. But you can't give up. If you run a horse out of the road, will you still be able to stand here? The old woman didn't embarrass Jinse.

"Something happened, a friend of mine went missing. I'm a little worried, that's what happened to you, sorry. "Jinse's attitude is sincere.

The old woman walked slowly on crutches: "If your friend has an accident, you can use it just to worry." It's better to think about how to find him. ”

Her words rekindled Jinse's hope, the old woman was right, she didn't find Zimu just by worrying. The imperial capital is so big, as long as Zimu comes here, he will always find him.

Maybe he's been delayed on the road. Jin Se comforted himself.

Back at the Futong Inn, Uncle Zhong went out to look for a house and didn't come back yet. In the inn, only Qian Bao was bored reading in the room.

He finished memorizing the Analects and Mencius, and recently Uncle Zhong has been teaching him the Mean.

Seeing Jin Se coming back from outside, he was full of thought that Jin Se would come back from outside with good food. As a result, Jin Se's hands were empty.

"Old Uncle Zhong didn't come back, why did you come back empty-handed. My grandfather starved to death. Qian Bao complained.

Jin Se smiled: "I just had something, and we'll go eat together when Uncle Zhong comes back in a while." ”

She didn't smile heartily, and Qian Bao could see that she had something on her mind. He obediently responded, "Okay." And he continued to read his book.

Old Uncle Zhong came back before lunch, and he found a house that was originally a scholarly family. Someone in the other party's family was appointed as a magistrate and moved his family to another place.

The old mansion in the imperial capital city has also been disposed of, and it is being emptied by the old Uncle Zhong. He bought this house for 80 taels of silver, which was bigger than the old house of the Zhuang family.

"I bought a house with a courtyard, a main house, two wings, and an upside-down house. There is a large courtyard in the middle. It is surrounded by flowers, fruits, and trees. Miss, you must like it. ”

Old Uncle Zhong said to himself, but Jin Se was absent-minded and didn't pay attention to what he was saying.

"Miss, what do you think of this house I bought?" He asks Jinse, trying to get her attention back.

Jin Se came back to his senses: "Huh? I think it's good. It's up to you to decide. ”

The abnormal appearance is not like the usual Jinse. I ordered four dishes and one soup for lunch, and I usually gobbled it up early, but she didn't eat a bite today.

"Miss, is something wrong? You can tell us about it. Maybe we can help you. "Old Uncle Zhong wants to help Jin Se share his worries.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Jin Se lowered his head: "Today I went to Jingzhao Yamen to find Zhou Zimu, but the other party said that there was no such person at all." I'm so worried. ”

"Did Brother Zhou have an accident?" Qian Bao blurted out.

"No, it won't!" Jinse retorted, "No news is good news. Zimuji people have a natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine. ”

Zhong Yi is an old fox, and he knows what the problem is as soon as he hears it. If Zhou Zimu is not in Jingzhao Yamen, he can only be in that place.

But he can't tell the young lady that the dignified regent is playing with my young lady's feelings!

As early as Zhong Yi saw Zhou Zimu at first sight, he doubted his identity. How can it be a coincidence between two people with the same name and surname.

If it weren't for Zhou Zimu's always smiling kindness in front of him, he deceived him. He would never let the young lady be with him.

"In that case, we might as well wait a few days, we are in a hurry. Brother Zhou may be left behind us. Old Uncle Zhong comforted Jinse.

Fortunately, since Zimu's news is uncertain now, it is not clear when he will come to Dijing City. Let's wait while we are busy with the business of opening the store.

At night, when everyone has fallen asleep.

Zhong Yi left the Futong Inn alone. He shuttled through the streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital City.

Pedestrians on the street came and went, not noticing that he was knocking on the back door of a nondescript house.

The door was quickly opened, and Zhong Yi walked in.

"Young master, I'm back." Zhong Yi respectfully bowed to the mysterious person next to the pear wood hollow carved table, "I brought Miss to the Imperial Capital City." ”

He talked about what happened during Jinse's time in Yangcheng.
