After Jingda and I agreed on a way to eradicate Xiao Huan, we went to the town the next day and bought two horses. However, I didn't know how to ride horses, so we didn't set off for the Imperial Castle right away, so I practiced riding near Toda for a few days, and when I was almost able to ride, I set off for the Imperial Castle. We set out in the morning before dawn, and we deliberately took our steps lightly so that we didn't alarm anyone in Toda Village, and we took Bao'er with us when we left. A little farther away from Toda Village, I reined in my horse and looked back in the direction of Toda Village, which was shrouded in a mist in the early morning, and from a distance it seemed to be quiet, and the sky was not bright; When I leave Toda Village today, then this place will truly become my hometown in this world, and I don't know if I can go to the Imperial City smoothly, and I have to explore the mysteries of Sumeru's time and space, find a way to return, and go today, say goodbye to Toda Village, and I don't know when I will be able to go back again.

"Let's go, Jingda!" I turned my head and stopped looking at Toda Village, and rode my horse forward.

We rode our horses to the Imperial City, and the grass and wild flowers along the way gradually faded away behind us; Since my riding skills are not skilled, Bao'er can only be taken by Jingda, although Bao'er is reluctant, but there is no way. The road to the Imperial City was a long way, and when we left Toda Village, we brought with us not only enough money, but also a number of cakes to fill our stomachs on the way. Of course, we don't eat bread all the time, and if we come across a restaurant along the way, we stop for a meal. Except for the necessary rest, basically we are in a hurry during the day, and at night we will stay at the inn, if we have not met the inn along the road at night, we can only spend the night outdoors.

In such a hurry, on the sixth day, we finally arrived at the imperial city of the Guwu Empire, the towering walls of the imperial city appeared in front of our eyes, the skin of this kind of city wall is a dark blue color, I don't know what material is built, it looks unusually solid, a cold air seems to emanate from it, giving people a strong and majestic momentum, and the people standing below can't help but feel a trembling color in their hearts. Above the city walls stood armed soldiers, one by one looking ahead, and a line of soldiers stood at the gate of the city, responsible for checking the people entering and leaving the city gate. After inspection, the three of us entered the interior of the Imperial City, where people came and went, and all kinds of shops, stalls and items were dazzling, and this was only the southern part of the Imperial City. The imperial palace is located in the center of the imperial city, the Hu family is in the north of the city, and the Xiao family is in the east of the city; And because the Xiao family is in the east of the city, in order to get the news of Xiao Huan, I discussed with Jingda to go to the east of the city to find a place to settle down first. I don't know when this fight with Xiao Huan will end, one is to ask Jingda's grandfather for help, but I can't involve the Hu family, and the other is that I have other things to do, the news exchange in the imperial city must be more well-informed and intensive, and choosing to settle in the imperial city is not just to live for a while, in order to return, I have to walk around in the imperial city.

Jingda and I took Bao'er to find a restaurant in the east of the city to eat, and then found a trading house, inquired about the rental of the house, and after finding out the location of the Xiao family, we rented a yard three miles away from the Xiao family; The courtyard is neither small nor big, the garden in the courtyard is lined with grass and trees, there are several corridors connecting the guest rooms on both sides and the main room above, and there is a pavilion located next to the garden, there is no shortage of coffee tables and stone piers, and the scenery of the courtyard is also beautiful. After settling down a bit, Jingda and I planned to take Bao'er to the north of the city where the Hu family was located, and to carry out all this, Jingda's grandfather had to help, although this trip might inevitably make Jingda and his grandfather sad.

Although the Hu family is not an official in the court, they have a solid family background, and they are a martial arts family, and they are also considered a famous family in the north of the city. The door of the house is very magnificent, and there are sentry guards on the façade to guard it. Jingda and I took Bao'er to the door of Hu's house, but were stopped by the sentry guarding the gate and interrogated the reason.

"Two, we are here to visit Mr. Hu, please give this thing to Mr. Hu to see, and he will receive us." As he spoke, Jingda took out a golden bag with a "beard" sewn on it from his bosom and handed it to one of the sentry guards.

"Wait, I'll report it." The sentry guard took the bag, looked at it in his hand, and pushed the door away.

"Jingda, try to keep your emotions for a while, don't let your grandfather be too sad, and try not to let him know what happened back then, otherwise I'm afraid that what we are planning will be inappropriate, and it is even more likely that the Hu family will be compensated." Although I believe that Jingda can solve everything well, but I haven't seen my grandfather for many years, it is inevitable that I will be hurt, and I still emphasize the seriousness of the matter after that.

"I know, I'll do my best to keep my emotions in check." Jingda replied.

The sentry guard had been in for a while, but had come out with a few more armed guards, and their eyes looked very unkind.

"Arrest the three of them." One of the armed guards pointed at the three of us and said to the others.

"This... Jingda! What are we going to do? "Seeing that the situation in front of me didn't seem right, I realized the crisis and began to panic, and immediately asked Jingda.

"It's okay, let them get right." Jingda said unusually calmly.
