When Gu Dan and Xun Ke came to the location of the Great Prayer Imperial Capital, the snow had already stopped.

It is under the same sky, one side is rainy and rainy, and the other side can also sing and dance.

When you step into it, the weather alone makes a difference.

Although it is winter, you can still see an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, dressed in thick cotton clothes.

There are also a lot of hawkers along the street, crowded with people, not at all because of the cold winter is also a little less prosperous, at a glance, it is really a prosperous scene.

Walking through it, Xun Ke looked left and right.

A child ran past him singing a cheerful song, and the aroma of all kinds of food wafted around, and when it fell on the tip of the nose, it was heartfelt.

The sightseeing chariots and horses walked forward in peace and tranquility on the wide streets that were large enough for eight riders to ride together.

If I hadn't seen the old farmer with my own eyes when I came, I am afraid that no one would have been able to find any fault.

Xun Ke couldn't help but look at it, even he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was, the world was vast, this place was prosperous, and the scene he wanted to appear in his dreams was in front of him, but it made him feel cold all over his body, and he couldn't help himself.

"The first time the little brother came to the imperial capital?"

The vegetable vendor on the side saw Xun Ke standing there in a daze, and asked with a smile.

Xun Ke woke up like a dream and nodded, "It's indeed the first time I've come here." ”

The imperial capital of Daqi and the Great Moon Emperor are different.

Here, people have smiles on their faces, showing confidence from the inside out, and even roadside vendors will greet people boldly and warmly.

But in the Great Moon, this scene has not been seen for too long, too long.

The strength of a country does affect the face of its citizens – provided that they enjoy the blessings of the state.

And these people who can make a living in the imperial capital obviously enjoy it.

When a large number of people at the bottom contribute their blood, sweat and interests, it can indeed allow a small number of people to enjoy peace and joy in one place.

Xun Ke was extremely looking forward to this scene, but when he saw it today, he felt a little sick to his stomach from the bottom of his heart.

Here he seemed to have seen countless people like the old peasant they had seen, languishing in the snow, risking death even to collect some firewood.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the ink master—an unprecedented understanding.

Because he saw it.

I saw the fire cooking oil under the flowers.

In a trance, he seemed to hear what Master Mo had said to him again.

'Will the hungry be eaten?' Do the cold have clothes? Does the laborer get the interest? If these three are not right, the country will not be a country! ’

If wealth and harmony come from this, then wealth and peace should not be!

"When I look at my brother's horse, I know that my brother must not be an ordinary person. If you want to come to the imperial capital to have a good time, you must taste the delicacies of Yingxian Banquet and Baiweiju; If you love the scenery, it is the Tianmen Tower, and if you are lucky, you can also see the beautiful scenery of the clouds rising; If you like women, Cuiyi Pavilion and Yihong Courtyard are even more praiseworthy. ”

While talking, the vegetable seller also gave Xun Ke a look that he knew everything, like a few treasures, and his pride was beyond words.

"These places should be good places to go."

Gu Dan walked over, patted Xun Ke who was stunned in place, and asked with a smile: "It's just that the place has been decided, I'm afraid I can't go." ”

"We're talking about the boundaries of the imperial capital, where can other places compare with these places? We also said this to you because you are not bad for money, but we can confiscate a penny from them. ”

The peddler patted his chest and said, "Even if you ask ten more people, you won't be able to find a better place." ”

"Really?"

Gu Dan asked.

"Of course!"

The peddler nodded affirmatively.

"We're going to the palace."

Gu Dan said.

"The Palace? What is there to visit at the palace, that place"

What he was saying suddenly stopped, and the peddler stayed on the spot, his face a little pale, "Don't be joking. ”

"No kidding, I'm really going."

Gu Dan said affirmatively.

"Are you serious? The emperor has summoned you? ”

The peddler looked at Gu Dan carefully, Jun is really handsome, but the palace is not good-looking.

And at the feet of the Son of Heaven, throwing a block and turning his head may be able to hit a few royal relatives, and it is not completely impossible to be summoned by the Son of Heaven.

"I didn't call, but someone helped me to say something, and I would see him anyway."

Gu Dan said.

"Don't make fun of us."

The peddler gave him a blank look.

What kind of person, you can be summoned by talking to the emperor?

Unless it's the emperor's father, who can be so good?

"Then we'll go first."

Gu Dan didn't explain, chatted casually, and walked in the direction of the palace.

Seeing that Gu Dan and Xun Ke really set foot on the Chaotian Street leading to the palace, the vendor muttered to himself, "What he said can't be true, right?" ”

The royal palace of Daqi is different, or rather quite rare.

Because the palace of Daqi was built on the mountain, some of it was even built directly on the mountain.

This is an extremely rare choice, and there are all kinds of unsafe factors needless to say, the key is that the royal family himself has to climb the mountain if he wants to change the palace, which is somewhat inappropriate.

But perhaps in order to remember the life in the white mountains and black waters, when the capital was finally determined, the palace was still chosen here.

Therefore, even in the imperial city, you can see a mountain peak rising high in the distance, and even the palace faintly exposed in the peak.

At this time, it is clearly winter, but the mountain is still lush, and even at a glance there is an orderly beauty, obviously after the careful conditioning of the masters, I don't know how much time it takes, and it is made up of countless flowers and plants, and its pomp is not less than the longevity fairy palace that Emperor Zongming has in mind.

The so-called imperial palace is not a place, but a region, which also has to be divided into a wide variety of palaces, lined up in all directions, in order to facilitate the court, the real place of discussion is all at the foot of the mountain.

And for safety reasons, there are no shops or houses at a distance from the palace, and there are only empty and flat avenues.

When you come from the downtown area, it is from the noisy red dust downtown with a lot of people, and you come to the broad plain, look up, there are verdant peaks standing in the middle, the palace is beautiful, move to the scene, and have a unique flavor in.

As soon as the two of them stepped onto the wide road that had been left in front of the palace, a guard with a knife approached.

"Stop!"

The guard stepped forward and looked at the two of them, their palms already on the hilt of their swords, "The two of them look quite faced, why did they come to the palace?" Can there be an edict? ”

The palace is not something that can be entered if you want to, especially when it is built on a mountain, it is even more necessary to guard against ambitious rebels and thieves, and the review has always been strict and cautious.

"There is no edict."

Gu Dan said: "But someone has sent a message for me before, and I don't know if you have received it." ”

"Huh?"

There was anger in the guard's eyes, this person dared to be so arrogant in front of the palace, who he was!

The palm holding the hilt of the knife had quietly risen a few points, and the cold light of the blade was flickering, and he still asked casually, "Who?" ”

"Bai Xundao."

Gu Dan said.

The palm that held the hilt of the knife suddenly lost its strength.

Pull out a little sword and slide it into its sheath.

The guard's face changed greatly, he took three steps back, and said in surprise: "You are you. You're the best friend of Murphy? ”

"Looks like he's got the news."

Gu Dan nodded calmly.

"Wait a minute."

In a short moment, the guard was already sweating on his forehead, and he felt a whistle like a conch from his bosom and blew it violently.

The shrill voice reverberated far away.

Gu Dan quietly watched his movements and did not stop him.

Noticing his gaze, the guard realized that he had walked through the ghost gate in a panic, and quickly explained: "This thing is a notice"

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth, how could this get darker and darker!

Gu Dan stood there indifferently, and wanted to see if he was waiting for him to be ready for thousands of troops, or the Daqi royal family who had accepted the reality.

Fortunately for the guard, Gu Dan didn't move.

And in the moment when the whistle sounded, a person came from the gate of the palace at a very fast speed, and finally stopped in front of Gu Dan, his curious and even inquiring eyes circulated on his body, but he did not lose his manners, and hugged his fists and said: "Grandmaster Daqi, Xue Wenjian." ”

"Murky's best friend."

Gu Dan didn't return the salute, but just said plainly.

Etiquette is for friends, and apparently, the Great Prayer is not a friend.

With the speed at which Xue Wenjian came, I am afraid that he had already waited at the palace gate.

"Please."

Xue Wenjian glanced at Xun Ke beside Gu Dan, and didn't understand that this person came here, what did he do with a child who was not high in martial arts?

Aren't you really afraid that Daqi will tear your face?

Following his footsteps, Gu Dan walked towards the palace as if no one was around, and Xun Ke followed beside him, silently watching without saying a word.

"The Great Prayer Palace was built under the guidance of a master, which is in line with the principles of heaven and earth, pleasing to the eye, what do you think?"

Xue Wenjian walked, carefully observing Gu Dan's reaction.

Seeing Gu Dan's appearance of no worries and ambushes at all, he couldn't help but sigh that the artist was bold, and Bai Xundao's dying words were true!

Otherwise, it will definitely not be able to be a leisurely stroll in the Daqi Palace, with the attitude of no one around.

"The scenery is a good scene, and people are not like people."

Gu Dan said unceremoniously.

“.”

One sentence directly silenced Xue Wenjian, and there was nothing to say along the way, until he came to a palace.

The door was open, and there were eight people inside.

At a glance, one was dressed in a dragon robe, the other was dressed in a moon-white robe, and the remaining six were extraordinary, all of whom were grandmasters.

If you count the two who were killed by him, Daqi also had nine grandmasters, although there are only seven left, which can also be said to have a strong background.

When Gu Dan saw them, of course, they also saw Gu Dan.

The man in the dragon robe was the first to walk out of the door, greeted him, and bowed.

"The Great Prayer Emperor prayed for the dragon and saw his predecessors."
