Looking at the eastern capital, after discussion, Huang Jingdang finally did not return to Beijing with Bu Youkong.

It's not because the emperor ordered him to garrison the border city. With his current combat strength and cultivation, some secular rules of the southern kingdom can be ignored, and he has also been silently stationed in the border city for thirty years, which can be regarded as completing the punishment for being involved in the storage position dispute for violating the rules.

Thirty years of low-key has caused most people in the capital to not know that he is already a high-level martial monarch with higher combat power. The reason why he didn't return to Beijing with Youkong and the others this time was because he still had something to do at the moment, the time varied from a few months, and the specific situation depended on development, so the only person who accompanied him was Qu Fu.

Originally, Qu Peipei was going to walk with everyone, but Qu Fu and Bu Youkong objected, saying that they had not gone home for many years, and they would go to the capital first to familiarize themselves, so they would settle Qu Peipei at that time, so they let him return to Beijing with Huang Jingdan, of course, he also deliberately instructed Huang Jingdan, saying that Pepe was at home all the year round and almost didn't go out, so Huang Jingdang didn't rush to the road when the time came, and took Pepee to play more on the way.

The three of them walked in the sky, there was no delay along the way, and almost all of them stayed in the clouds, so they soon arrived ten miles away from the capital.

Because the royal city was forbidden to fly, everyone had to get off the cloud boat and hurry on foot.

Along the way, Bu Fanchen browsed many mountains and rivers in the south on the cloud boat, and the magnificent color of a country left a preliminary impression in his heart, and silently decided that he would take one step at a time to seriously feel the real scene of the magnificent mountains and rivers.

If the previous Wangdong was majestic and magnificent, then the capital in front of him can definitely match the praise of the world's wealthy city. When you are on the cloud boat ten miles away, you can clearly see the giant city, its wall is a hundred meters high, and you can see the ancient inscriptions engraved on the wall from the sky.

Bu Youkong once mentioned to Bu Fanchen that the total length of the city wall of the southern imperial city of Peishengdu is 800 miles, and the blue and black stones used to cast the city wall are hundreds of millions, and the formations tattooed on the wall include four ninth-order formations, a total of one hundred and eight seventh-order and above formations, thirty-six eighth-order formations, and seventy-two seventh-order formations.

In the history of the Southern Kingdom, there was a strong man at the peak level of the Demon Clan's Martial Venerable, and with the cooperation of the contemporary prime minister of the Southern Kingdom, he quietly came to the Imperial Capital of the Southern Kingdom, wanting to hit the Imperial Capital of the Southern Kingdom with his own strength. As a result, a royal ancestor of the first rank of martial arts in the imperial capital used the imperial city as a shield, but he failed to get the slightest benefit from the demon powerhouse, and under the strengthening of the Pingshen Sword Array, he directly knocked the demon powerhouse off the altar, and couldn't help but seriously injure him and forced him to fall into a great realm of cultivation.

It's just that the Bujia powerhouse was just entering the martial arts, so he couldn't leave the demon clan's magic pill, which shows the strength of the formation of the holy capital.

The city wall that accompanies the holy capital, a total of east, west, north and south four, each city wall has a gate in the center, named after the direction of its wall, with the gate as the center and a small gate is set every ten miles, which is convenient for people to enter and exit.

The gate where they are located is the south gate, and at a glance, the endless and bustling flow of people into the city seems to be rendering the prosperity of the city. Following the flow of people through the gate more than ten meters high, looking at the oily red quaint gate, I can't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

The city guard of Nancheng is an elderly veteran, whose name is Zuo Yuanliu, who was injured in a battle abroad a few decades ago, and after his lifelong cultivation was almost abolished, he was arranged to be the city lord of Nancheng.

The official position is not low, located in Sanpin, which is a relatively safe position relative to the battlefield, because of the strict military in the southern country, there are few people who talk about him privately because of his low cultivation in these years, after all, his achievements are there, and even the royal family has to recognize his military exploits. If it weren't for his reluctance to leave the army, he insisted on seeing more of the cities of his home country in the second half of his life, and chose to be the general of the southern city, his official position would still be at the next level.

As Zuo Yuanliu, he should stay in the house of the lord in the city and deal with some things, but for decades, he has to do everything himself, guarding the city gate every time, paying attention to everything that comes and goes.

According to his words, there is no cultivation, the vision is still there, and those officials who are on the edge of the regulations do not want to pass the customs at his south gate. This is also the reason why for many years, many officials and some merchants have hardly gone to the south gate unless necessary, of course, this has also led to the fact that the south gate will guard more than the extra oil and water.

However, Zuo Yuanliu himself is very rich, and it is the wealth obtained in exchange for his military exploits, so although the guards of the South Gate do not earn much extra money, they send a lot of money to their families.

Zuo Yuanliu's behavior is naturally impeached by many hostile civilian officials, but Bu Zhuang must play Tai Chi every time, saying that he will manage, but in fact he is very supportive, after all, he uses his own money to raise royal soldiers, and in the name of the royal family, how will he be punished, besides, Zuo Yuanliu This person, how can he not know the real merits, if he didn't help him ascend the throne and cut off the cultivation path, how could he be seriously injured on the battlefield and almost lose his cultivation?

If not, Zuo Yuanliu's actions must be regarded as bribing the imperial soldiers, and under the creation of those who have intentions, it can even be convicted of rebellion, how can he still have a chance to live?

Zuo Yuanliu, who was dressed in red armor, watched the flow of people who were registering, and the three of them made him pay great attention. Because of the wide road at the main gate, it is convenient for animal carts to enter the city, so most of the merchants who enter the city at the main gate are merchants, so the inspection of the main gate is also the most stringent.

It will be very troublesome for ordinary people to enter the city, so except for those who enter Beijing for the first time, there are very few people who do not take goods to the south gate. The three of them are exactly like this, although they can't see their faces clearly from a distance, but it is still obvious whether there is a beast cart with or without them, so Zuo Yuanliu discovered the three of them very early, and when the three of them approached, they took a good inspection.

Before the three of them approached, there were several salt carts pulled by Humvees, which attracted Zuo Yuanliu's attention. Under his cold look, the man had to admit that his salt was refined privately, because of the small amount, he really couldn't afford to go through the process of the government, but he had to support his family and had to do a small business, so he came to the capital to try his luck.

The reason for going to the south gate is also because he heard that the south gate does not charge money, and if he has money, he will not lack a visa from the government.

Zuo Yuanliu has encountered this situation many times, and most of them are indeed because of small business transactions, and he can afford to pay tariffs but can't stand up for a long time of official document correction, so he takes risks. In the past, depending on the situation, he would give one or two opportunities to let those small merchants earn a tax first, and then develop steadily through the government process, as for some of the people who thought that he had many and strict rules after making money, he always ignored them.

At this time, when he didn't pay attention, the two of them had already walked up to him.

Bu Fanchen's eyesight is excellent, and when he first entered the city, he found him waiting for him in the distance. There were groups of people coming and going, so it was not difficult to recognize the figure of the Makuhime, and after making a gesture to the latter's eyes, she prepared to leave alone after discussing with her father and Uncle Qu.

Bu Youkong was naturally the first person to know about the curtain hime, and before Bu Fanchen could speak, he said: "The first time you go back to Beijing, I will take you to meet your grandfather in the evening, remember to go back to the prince's mansion early." ”

Bu Fanchen looked up at his father's already insightful look, and couldn't help but be happy, he was originally worried that his father would not allow it, so he hurriedly replied: "The child takes the order." ”

Qu Fu on the side didn't understand the sudden conversation between the father and son, a little confused, after all, he didn't know Mu Ji, so he naturally didn't know the relationship between Mu Ji and Bu Fanchen in the distance, but when he heard that Bu Fanchen was going to separate from them, he asked puzzledly: "Little boy, is this going to travel to the capital alone?"

Bu Fanchen replied with a smile: "Grandpa Qu, the kid wants to go and see the appearance of this luxury city, so he should be familiar with the environment." ”

”

"It's better to accompany the little boy with the old body, I am familiar with this capital, but I can be a guide for the little boy. Qu Fu glanced at the sky and said lovingly, after all, the capital is not the capital of Wangdong. The water in here is bottomless, there is still a lot of distance from the center of the city, and there are so many dangers, so he can take care of it.

Bu Youkong smiled lightly, knowing that Qu Fu was worried about Bu Fanchen, and smiled lightly: "Uncle Qu, don't worry about him, just let him go and see it alone, he is not too young, and it is time to go and see this world for himself." ”

"It's okay Grandpa Qu, the kid knows the measure, you can rest assured," Bu Youkong finished speaking, and Bu Fanchen continued.

Bu Fanchen and Bu Youkong's answers, Qu Fu naturally informed them, and it was in the imperial city, so he smiled and said: "The little prince himself should pay more attention, and everything is based on safety." ”

"Okay! Bu Fanchen replied.

chose an inspection place with few people, and Bu Fanchen left alone, while Bu Youkong and Qu Fu waited for Bu Fanchen to pass the inspection, and then slowly went to the inspection location where Zuo Yuanliu was.

After checking the salt seller's Zuo Yuanliu, he subconsciously glanced at the flow of people, after all, the three people who didn't bring the goods were also the focus of his attention. At this glance, he realized that the three people had already approached, but there were only two of the previous three left, and those two people were not far from him at the moment.

Zuo Yuanliu saw the familiar face, he was a little distracted, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and made sure that the two people in front of him were really the three people who couldn't see their faces clearly, but one of the people the size of a teenager was no longer there. Turning his head to see the salt seller who was still nervous, he didn't know if he was nervous or the salt seller was nervous, and then he saw the lonely young man not far from the other checkpoints, and then turned back and asked Qu Fu tentatively, "Steward Qu?"

Put Zuo Yuanliu's reaction into his eyes, knowing that it was a normal reaction, didn't he see Bu Youkong for the first time, if he compared, Zuo Yuanliu was much younger than himself, and Bu Youkong They were the same time, and they saw that the prince who had been abroad for 30 years came back, and it was nothing to be shocked, so he smiled and quipped: "General Zuo, isn't it that in recent years, I have been the main general of this southern city, and I have made too much oil and water, and I haven't seen you for a few years, so I don't know my little housekeeper?"

got Qu Fu's reply, and once again confirmed that it was Qu Fu, then there was no doubt that the self-heating beside him was the second prince.

This made Zuo Yuanliu's old face, which was full of wrinkled stories, overflow with a rare excitement.

I saw him kneeling on the cyan stone slab, bending down and shouting loudly: "Minister, Zuo Yuanliu, see the second prince." ”

Bu Youkong did not stop Zuo Yuanliu from kneeling, as a prince, and in the imperial capital, he didn't care about some rules, but he had to keep it for his eldest brother, seeing Zuo Yuanliu, who was an old comrade-in-arms, he was naturally in a good mood. Smiled lightly and said in a straight voice: "Get up and speak." ”

The salt seller and the rest of the merchants who entered the city saw Zuo Yuanliu kneeling down with a thud, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, and before Zuo Yuanliu could speak, they followed Qi Qi and knelt down, but except for the soldiers of Nancheng, those merchants couldn't kneel, and they were all held up by a soft force.

Bu Youkong and Zuo Yuanliu and other soldiers are half monarchs and ministers, so they are subject to their knees, but he is not today, and those businessmen do not have the requirement to kneel.

Zuo Yuanliu was not a person who twisted, and after saluting, he stood up. Looking at the familiar face, who was also an old and spicy person, he looked at the direction in which Bu Fanchen left, and then looked at Bu Youkong suspiciously, the latter just shook his head gently, indicating that Bu Fanchen was indeed his son, but there was no need to involve him in this uproar at this moment.

Seeing Bu Youkong shaking his head, Zuo Yuanliu naturally understood what he meant, and then swept the surrounding crowd, and saw Bu Youkong nodding. Yun Zu shouted loudly: "The royal family of the southern kingdom, the second prince of Buyoukong has returned to Beijing after thirty years, following the decree of the Son of Heaven, today the country is opened, all businessmen are exempt from taxes, and those who enter the city without making trouble can receive ten taels of silver when they go out of the city." After speaking, he said to the soldiers: "Today, the soldiers on duty in Nancheng will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver each, and I hope that all the soldiers will work hard to protect their homes." After finishing speaking, he raised his tone again, and almost roared angrily: "All the soldiers listen to the order, follow me, and welcome the second prince home,"

After Zuo Yuanliu finished speaking, starting from the soldiers at the south main gate, it spread to the entire south city wall, and they put their left hands on their chests, bent down and shouted together, "Congratulations to the second prince to go home." This act was not only granted by the emperor, but also what he wanted to do in his heart.

After Zuo Yuanliu shouted, the surrounding merchants came back to their senses, although most of them didn't know about Bu Youkong, they still hurriedly bent down and saluted, and followed all the soldiers to shout in unison.

At this time, many spies around like swimming fish spread the news of Bu Youkong's return to the capital. And with the soldiers of Nancheng, followed by the soldiers of the other three walls, they also followed suit, and the emperor's order did not dare to disobey. Today's saint's feelings for the second brother are indescribable.

When everyone cheered for Bu Youkong, Bu Fanchen and Mu Ji had already come to an alley in the city. Today's curtain girl pretends to be dressed as a man.,It's not as sexy and enchanting as the first time I met.。 Obviously, on the way to Beijing, she changed her previous ways, which is the reason why she regards Bu Fanchen as a reliance and hope from her heart, and of course, it is more for safety.

Hearing the resounding words in the back, he couldn't help but smile, and quipped, "Childe's father, the reputation of the second prince of the southern kingdom in the capital can be described as great, which makes Makuhime can't help but feel admiration." ”

Chen raised his eyelids lightly, obviously he was a little proud of his father's return so popular, but he still said quietly: "You sycophant slapped the wrong ass, why don't I find you when you go back?"

"Giggles!, look at what Childe said, how dare the slave family do the following things, even if Childe lends me a bear bile, I don't dare to accept it." Makuhime smiled and continued to quip.

Bu Fanchen was silent, he was really not interested in flirting with Makuhime, although he had reached adulthood in the dream, but in reality he was only nine years old, even if because of the difference in time, the ten years old in this world can be used as the sixteen years old in that world, but he has long been sitting in the red rain in his heart, so he doesn't have that kind of mind to spend all day drinking.

Seeing that the joke of this meeting had already played a role, Mu Ji knew that it was time to get down to business, put away her mischievous look, took out a small booklet with a serious face and handed it to Bu Fanchen, and said: "The information of the rest of the people has collected a lot, and sure enough, there is a big difference between the information collected in the capital and the information collected outside. “

Dust glanced at Makuhime a little, and said slowly, "For example?"

The prince Bu Yang Hui is not much different, but the relationship between the thirteenth master Bu Nianlong and the eldest prince may not be as rumored by the outside world, that is, they are siblings and competitors, from the perspective of information, I personally think that the two are both cooperative and hostile. Makuhime analyzed seriously

Bu Fanchen thought about it for a while, but because he was not deep in the world and had insufficient experience, he couldn't think too deeply for a while, so he simply asked, "What's the explanation?"

The first time I saw this young man's son, she frowned and was puzzled, she was about to be thirty, and she actually felt a sense of pride in the face of a young man who was more than nine years old, which was also because although Bu Fanchen's real age was only nine years old, he was not weak in terms of cultivation and mentality.

She said a little proudly: "It's not difficult to explain, the prince can regard it as a kind of deception, you might as well think like this, the eldest prince and the thirteenth prince first deceived themselves, so as to achieve the purpose of deceiving the world." And in the future, if the two of them need to be consistent with the outside world, such as dealing with other princes, they will be brothers, and if the other princes have already played the chess game, then the two of them will be real enemies, which probably means that the position is guaranteed to fall in their small family. ”

Bu Fan Chenchen nodded lightly, about the story of the court, he was no stranger to the world in his dream, and he had read a lot of history, so it was not difficult to understand.

"Bu Yu Xiuhe and your fifteen-year-old nephew Bu Shangxin, Childe said that people of the same age should find out for yourself, so the slave family just collected some of their deeds and didn't discuss them with Childe," Makuhime said again. Seeing that Bu Fanchen didn't mean to speak, after a pause, Mu Ji said again: "There is still something in the slave family, I don't know whether to say it." “

Bu Fanchen glanced at Mu Ji helplessly, thinking that you are not a timid person, besides, since you recovered from your injury, when did you see you and me as masters and servants?

With Bu Fanchen's signal, Mu Ji said softly: "I have secretly investigated your father, that is, the second prince of Bu Youkong, and found that there is very little information about him, but the news brought from other countries says that he is very likely to have been to the Forbidden Sea in the past thirty years. ”

Hearing this, Bu Fanchen's expression turned cold, the Yuan Force on his body floated independently, and he stared at Mu Ji and said, "Where did you get the news from, my father has been out of the South for more than thirty years, where did those people get the news?"

Don't worry, Childe, that's just speculation, and the person who spread the news has disappeared the day before yesterday, I have been in contact with so many people, and he is the only one who knows the news, and he just heard about it. Seeing that Bu Fanchen's expression was cold, Mu Ji hurriedly added.

She was shocked by Bu Fanchen's strength in her heart, she was already the strength of the sixth order of the Martial Sect, and at that moment just now, Bu Fanchen actually gave her a hint of the feeling of an opponent, which made her extremely shocked, you must know that before separating from Bu Fanchen, the latter was not as strong as it is now, but she also knew that it was just a kind of spiritual oppression, and in terms of real strength, Bu Fanchen was definitely not her opponent.

After receiving the answer, Bu Fanchen thought for a while, put down his vigilant combat state, and said lightly: "It's the first time I've come to the capital, take me around." ”

"The slave family takes orders!" Seeing that Bu Fanchen put away his Yuan Li and was no longer vigilant, Mu Ji smiled lightly, and her expression was full of amorous reply.
