211 Jiankang City
As soon as the three days passed, Dong Sanpo took Lai Yuan, Ma Feng and other elites of the Spring Courtyard on Xishu Road to Jiankang City, and the group was almost non-stop wearing stars and moons.
Since the incident at Dongting Lake, Wang Shen has not seen Shen He who was taken away by the white-eyed swordsman, and he has not come back in the past three days, but when he learned Shen He's identity, he was not surprised. The dignified son of the Shen family, it was a new thing to go to Xishu to run an errand for the Yin Division thousands of miles away, but now it is suddenly gone, which is naturally not surprising.
Anyway, he has already helped, as for how much Shen He can help himself in the future, Wang Shen doesn't care, in this Jianghu, it is better to have one more friend than one more opponent.
There are thousands of miles from Dingzhou to Jiankang City, but this group of people are all the elite of the Spring and Autumn Mansion, and all the cultivators are in the realm of Zhou Tian.
But in five days, Wang Shen saw the Jiankang City.
Wang Shen is no stranger to Jiankang City, because Xiaobai has mentioned to him many times that this is the most prosperous Southern Tang Imperial Capital in the world. In Xiaobai's eyes, the place in Xishu is like a poor countryside compared to Jiankang City, what CD City, Luzhou City, in Xiaobai's opinion, has almost no advantages except for the high point of the city wall.
It is said that this Jiankang City has forty miles in the east, west, north and south, and the palace wall has three layers inside and outside, and the royal road in the palace alone is two miles long, and there are four other acropolis outside the palace city. There are not only nearly 200,000 households in the whole Jiankang City, but also many of them. These are still secondary, the most let Xiaobai never forget often on the lips is the south of Jiankang City called the Qinhuai River, according to Xiaobai's words, this Qinhuai River is the world's first and most lively place, the river on both sides of the delicious and fun everything, the rows of competing for beauty of the Qinglou wine shop gambling house is all night long sleepless to attract guests from all over the world.
It is such a big city that has been passed down by Xiaobai, and at this moment Wang Shen has already stepped into it, just the endless stream of cars and horses and pedestrians at the gate of this city has already made Wang Shen a little dizzying.
The group traveled thousands of miles and was stopped at the gate of the city, but when the young general who guarded the city saw Dong Sanpo's inadvertently lit hoe silver medal, he suddenly became in awe, not only did not dare to do any more checks, but also asked several subordinates to maintain order, cut off the team entering the city, and let Dong Sanpo, the line, pass first.
This situation seems to have long been commonplace for the people of Jiankang City, and there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in this city who like to put on music, although Wang Shen and these people don't look like some kind of gate lords, but not many people cast too many eyes.
After entering the city, Dong Sanpo first led everyone to the exclusive post station of the Spring and Autumn Mansion to rest, and he himself went to the mansion to report. Everyone ran around for several days in a row, and they were indeed sleepy and tired, so they each found a room and fell asleep without Dong Sanpo's instructions.
As soon as Wang Shen entered the room, he didn't even sit down with his buttocks, and the black jade bottle in his arms trembled violently, and he had no choice but to take out the bottle and put it on the table and ignore it, and lay down to rest by himself.
Anyway, this is the post station under the Spring and Autumn Mansion, and the people who live there are all masters of catching ghosts and subduing demons, and no matter how bold the little white is, it is impossible to run out of the bottle.
After running down for thousands of miles, Wang Shen was indeed tired, and he slept for most of the day, and when he got up, he found that the black jade bottle on the table was gone, and after careful searching, he found that the black jade bottle actually flew to the windowsill. Wang Shen walked over and poked his head out to look out, and found that there was actually a lively street market behind the post station. Although the market is not big, there are a variety of street vendors, and at first glance it is indeed much more lively than the market in Xishu.
It's no wonder that Xiaobai wants Wang Shen to take her out to the market as soon as she arrives in Jiankang City, but now Wang Shen still has something to do. This soul hoe has a much more identity than the errand of the Yin Division, and under the entire spring courtyard, all the gold, silver, copper, and iron soul hoes add up to a total of no more than a hundred. And along the way, Wang Shen heard from the mouths of several soul hoes accompanying him that the lowest status of the iron brand soul hoes were all official titles of the seventh grade, which was equivalent to the order of a county.
Before, Wang Shen hadn't taken Ding Fu too seriously about transferring him from the Yin Division to the Spring Courtyard, but when he learned about the status and rank of this soul hoe, he didn't see it that way, and he seemed to take getting a soul hoe waist card as a top priority on this trip. You must know that he was in the soul attraction pavilion for his master to attract souls and collect souls, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be named in the Yin Division, in the entire soul attraction pavilion, his master Xuanyuan Dao was one of the lamp lit envoys under the lamp leader of the Yin Division, but although this lamp lighter has a list of people who can receive money every month, he does not have the slightest official position, and the number of lamp lighters is extremely large, not to mention that there are 10,000 or 20,000 lamp lighters in the entire Southern Tang Spring and Autumn Mansion.
With such an identity, where can he compare to the soul hoe of the Spring Courtyard with a special status. I didn't expect that this was still a beautiful difference, and I could one day be the official of the seventh grade, no wonder I needed to be so cautious, and I had to come to the Spring and Autumn Mansion in person to report for an interview to be qualified.
Every time Wang Shen thought of this, he had the feeling that the scholars needed to enter the Beijing Temple to take the test.
It's just that when Dong Sanpo appeared at the post station at dusk, Wang Shen found that his identity as a seven-rank official was really full of twists and turns. All the people who accompanied him to Beijing were assigned tasks, and only Wang Shen was told that it would take ten days before he could enter the Spring and Autumn Mansion for an interview.
The reason is very simple, because the chief manager of the Spring and Autumn Mansion in charge of the interview is not in the house at the moment, and the Halloween Festival on July 15 is approaching, and the chief manager is unfortunately on the way to Maoshan. Only then did Wang Shen remember that he had come this time, and he still had this errand of sending soul protection lamps on his body, and these soul lamps needed to be sent to Maoshan before July 15.
Hearing the news, he was inevitably a little disappointed, but ten days is not a short time, and it is not a long time. Since there is nothing to do left and right, he has become an idler again, so he simply took this opportunity to visit the imperial capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty that made him curious, and also saved Xiaobai from hiding in this black jade bottle and making trouble all day long.
This road from Xishu to Jiankang City thousands of miles together, the entourage has become friends with each other. Especially Ma Feng, Huang Zong and Guang Pengju, who are both iron hoes in the west chamber of the Spring Courtyard, have long regarded Wang Shen, who has not officially received the hoe soul man's waist card, as his brother, and they get along very well in private. And this Dong Sanpo is also an old man with exquisite faces, so he simply sent someone to buy a table of wine and meat, and had a farewell wine and dinner with everyone at the post station. After being full of wine and food, everyone went back to clean up and rest, and Wang Shen went back and touched a large handful of silver taels from the package he carried, ready to take Xiaobai, who couldn't wait, to visit the so-called beautiful Qinhuai River.
