Chapter 328: Staying in the capital
"This is the capital." Bai Rong raised his head, looked at the huge fortified city gate, and couldn't help but sigh.
It's magnificent.
The sun fell straight down, sprinkled on the jade plaque dyed and painted with gold edge, the two big characters of "Beijing", carved out the vast and awe-inspiring momentum like the mountains and the sea, immobilized in the high place, as if it was the sky that could not be touched, which made people sigh extraordinary.
Especially Bai Rong, the first time she saw the ancient capital, such an ancient capital city full of ancient charm but without losing the domineering spirit of the times, in modern times, how the high-tech creation of the devil cannot be reproduced.
Seeing the flickering exclamation and admiration in her eyes, the unclear look in Gu Ziyuan's eyes froze, and quickly dissipated into a pitch-black pupil, and he smiled slightly: "Let's go in." ”
The two were just about to enter the city together, but they saw a familiar figure at the city gate.
The man was dressed in green clothes, his clothes were fluttering, and the folding fan was shaking gently, so he was not handsome and out of the dust, just like a fairy in the world.
Bai Rong opened his eyes slightly, wondering if he had seen the wrong person: "That is, Song Gongzi?" ”
No. She was not mistaken, that is the real Song Yuyu.
When Gu Ziyuan saw him, his expression was a little thoughtful, as if he had thought of something, and he was not in a hurry to speak.
Song Yuyu put away the folding fan and greeted him with a smile: "Gu Gongzi, white girl, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Song Gongzi, why are you also in the capital?" As soon as Bai Rong finished speaking, he remembered something and glanced at Gu Ziyuan.
By the way, Gu Ziyuan had said before that the reason why Song Yuyu sent people to follow them may be because he was a subordinate of Gu Ziyuan's father, so Song Yuyu learned that they came to the capital through his subordinates, so he was at the city gate, waiting for their arrival.
Gu Ziyuan noticed her gaze and nodded, indicating that it should be what she thought.
"If I say that I happened to pass by the capital and happened to meet you, would I believe it?" Song Yuyu joked.
Song Yuyu turned to say: "If there is anything, it is better to find a Xianya teahouse with me first and sit down, and then it is not too late to talk about it slowly." ”
Following Song Yuyu, the three of them walked into the bustling capital, surrounded by Qionglou Yuyu, a long street stretched far away, as if there was no end in sight, and many streets were diverted within a few steps, and many stalls and shops were crowded on both sides, so it was not lively.
Pedestrians and chariots come and go on the road, and the shouts of merchants or vendors are in their ears, only to dazzle people, dizzy and dizzy, if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by this big city that looks like a fairy capital in the sky, swallowed and blindfolded.
Yes, many people yearn for the capital, the city of coiled dragons, where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, is a place where talented people and heroes gather, and it is really located at the foot of the Son of Heaven.
But some people come here, maybe they still have a pure heart at first, and in the future, no one can say whether they can escape the deceit hidden behind them, the open swords and hidden arrows, or the sinking drunken gold fans, the temptation of power and fame.
Crossing the street, to a small building for tea and wine, three people sit in a private room, outside the red lacquer railing by the window, you can see the farther prosperity of the capital.
Bai Rong had been looking at the scenery outside curiously, Song Yuyu shook his fan and asked, "The white girl seems to like the capital very much?" ”
"Well, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful city, it's livelier than anywhere I've ever been." Bai Rong responded.
"yes." Song Yuyu closed the fan and put it on the table, he picked up a cup of hot tea and blew it, "It's just that the more beautiful things are, they are always quenched with the most vicious poison, so it's better for the white girl to be careful and not to touch it too much." ”
Bai Rong was stunned, and was about to say thank you for reminding him, when Gu Ziyuan opened his mouth and said bluntly: "Song Gongzi, don't you want to explain something to us?" ”
Song Yuyu paused and put down the teacup.
He bowed down suddenly, his forehead pressed to the ground, and his tone was more respectful than he had ever been.
"My father is one of the subordinates reused by the King of Chu, but in order to exterminate the remnants of the former emperor and the King of Chu, the current emperor has wiped out many of his henchmen, and there are not many remaining forces, and they have all buried their names to assist His Highness at all times."
"And so it was." Gu Ziyuan was surprised, and there was not much surprise on his face, "I have always worked hard for you and Father Ling, and my father must be very pleased to have this loyal minister." ”
They had already guessed what Song Yuyu's identity was, but now that it has been confirmed, they are relieved, after all, Song Yuyu is a person they are familiar with, and now they are a credible ally, and they know the root of each other in the future.
Bai Rong learned a lot of things from Gu Ziyuan, and he was not too surprised, and looked at them quietly from the side.
Song Yuyu didn't
You raised her head, and then said: "Doing things for His Royal Highness is the fate of his subordinates and fathers, and it is also the appointment of our family's inheritance. ”
Gu Ziyuan was not used to being saluted by others, so he said: "Get up, now I am just Gu Ziyuan, not a prince recognized by the world, you don't have to bow to me like this." ”
"Your Highness, you have the blood of the previous emperor in you, and as far as I am concerned, you are my only monarch." Song Yuyu said, he also sat up straight, and instantly returned to his previous graceful demeanor.
Gu Ziyuan couldn't, so he had to ask him instead: "Okay, let's not talk about these things first, now that I have come to the capital, have I been targeted?" ”
The people who assassinated him before were probably also sent by someone in the capital, and that person now knows that he has come to the capital, and he should not give up.
Song Yuyu heard this, his face was a little solemn, and he said: "Yes, but that person should not act blatantly, there is also my power in the capital, and we will all protect Your Highness." ”
And this place is the capital, the Son of Heaven kills people at his feet, it is difficult to want to not leak a drop of water, the Son of Heaven has no reason to ignore it, if it is really to be strictly investigated, the murderer will not be able to escape the involvement.
After all, the people who want to kill Gu Ziyuan are all people who are afraid that Gu Ziyuan's existence will threaten the throne, and killing Gu Ziyuan so blatantly proves that the murderer also covets the throne, and the emperor will not let go of this ambition to survive.
However, it doesn't mean that you can ignore the dangers in the dark, he is alive at the moment, and he may die at any time, this is the capital, and there are more means to make people disappear.
Gu Ziyuan's expression was complicated, his eyebrows were solemn, and finally he slowly spit out: "Understood, thank you." ”
Such a loyal subordinate, Gu Ziyuan also felt that it was commendable, and he couldn't do anything to express his gratitude except for a word of thanks, Song Yuyu had indeed been helping him so that he could protect him and Bai Rongan to the capital.
Song Yuyu said with a smile: "This is what subordinates should do, and there is no need to thank you too much." ”
Then he added: "By the way, Your Highness, there are many people in the capital, and it is inconvenient for your subordinates to send too many people to protect you, it will be too ostentatious. ”
"I see." Gu Ziyuan sighed and said, "You should continue to call me Gu Gongzi, I'm not used to that title." ”
