Twilight.

Under the walls of Kyoto.

Zuo Dao and the others looked at the gate of Kyoto in front of them, and their faces were full of emotion.

When they left Kyoto a year ago, they never imagined that they would return to Kyoto in such a short period of time.

After all, in a place like Youzhou, it is not easy to survive.

Not to mention, the credit has been accumulated enough, and there is such a thing as being transferred to Beijing.

This was unthinkable when they first left Kyoto.

At that time, they could be said to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers.

If they die in Youzhou, it is also their fate.

But if he survives, it will be like today, the scenery will enter the city, and he will return to his hometown.

In the crowd, Zhao Hu rode on a horse and grinned: "Kyoto, my old Zhao is back again." ”

Most of the rest of the brocade guards were like this, looking at the familiar city gate in front of them, their faces were full of excitement.

Zuo Dao glanced at everyone and said, "Enter the city." ”

Immediately, he urged the horses under his crotch and headed towards Kyoto.

The soldiers guarding the city saw a group of flying fish riding into Beijing, and all of them showed a touch of flattery on their faces, welcoming them into Beijing.

Zuo Dao entered Kyoto with a group of brocade guards, and after entering Kyoto, he went straight to Beizhen Fuji.

On the streets along the way, a group of people saw the brocade guards riding horses in broad daylight.

One by one, they panicked and ducked, for fear of being hit by the horses.

Everyone came to the front of the North Town Fusi.

Seeing this, the brocade guard who was on duty showed a look of surprise on his face.

After all, in the place of Fusi in Beizhen, everyone looked up and didn't look down, although it had been a long time since they had been absent for a year.

But the crowd hasn't changed much, and it's still recognizable.

Looking at the flying fish suit on Zuo Dao's body and the soothing waist card on his waist, he hurriedly greeted him and led the horse for him.

Zuo Dao glanced at the man leading the horse, then turned over and dismounted, and said, "Take care of my horse." ”

When the brocade guard heard this, he responded flatteringly.

Zuo Dao directly led people in, went to find his old boss, and calmed Zhao Yuan.

And Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others, at this moment, one by one were also red-faced, and they walked into the Beizhen Fusi with great ambition.

As soon as he entered the North Town Fusi, he greeted his "old friends".

The 100 households waist card on the waist is extremely conspicuous, which arouses the envy of everyone.

This made Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others look proud.

You must know that because of the Zuo Dao incident back then, they were not very well received in the Beizhen Fusi.

After all, the original Zuo Dao made up for his father's lack of 100 households, and he was downgraded by one level to become a trial 100 households.

Those of them who are not welcomed can only follow the left way to do things.

But who would have thought that just one year has passed.

The group of brocade guards who were dispatched to Youzhou with Zuo Dao are now the smallest of the general banners.

Moreover, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were successfully promoted to 100 households.

The rest of the credit is enough, and they are also promoted to the test hundred.

Now that he has been transferred to Beijing with Zuo Daoping, it can be regarded as a steady progress, which is really enviable.

In the lobby.

Zhao Yuanzheng was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and after seeing Zuo Dao who walked in, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Then he smiled and said, "Lord Zuo, don't come unharmed!" ”

Zuo Dao smiled and said: "Uncle Zhao, you really torture me, you and I are commensurate with my uncle and nephew, why should you be so unfamiliar." ”

When Zhao Yuan heard this, he stood up with a smile and welcomed Zuo Dao in.

Then he spoke: "I thought that you were sent to Youzhou, just to promote thousands of households earlier, but I didn't expect that this Youzhou was actually a place where you were thriving. ”

"It's only been a year since I went to Youzhou, and I have been promoted to the position of the pacification envoy."

"In my opinion, it only takes one year at most, and Zuo Xian's nephew can be promoted to commanding servant, or even commanding Tongzhi."

After hearing Zhao Yuan's words.

Zuo Dao smiled and waved his hand and said, "Uncle Zhao said that he was laughing, but it was just a coincidence, and thanks to the commander of the capital, the adults valued it." ”

After some politeness, the two sat down in the field.

I only heard Zhao Yuan continue to speak: "I remember that although the commander said that he asked you to be transferred to Beijing, he did not say when he would return to Beijing, which obviously gave you a long vacation, why did you return to Kyoto so early." ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he said: "I don't have anything to do in that place in Youzhou, so it's better to return to Beijing earlier." ”

Speaking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "But I don't know why the commander suddenly asked me to return to Kyoto, and I also sent a commander to take over the newly built Demon Suppression Division?" ”

Zhao Yuandao: "Speaking of this, it may have something to do with our national teacher." ”

"National teacher? Purdue Cihang? ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Why did you transfer to Beijing by yourself, and it was related to the big centipede?

Could it be that he went to Youzhou for a year, and the big centipede was obsessed with himself, so he deliberately asked the emperor to transfer himself to Beijing?

If that's the case, then you'll have to be careful.

After all, the big centipede is in the position of the national teacher, and if he wants to do it to himself, he is afraid that it will be difficult for the adults to protect themselves.

Unless it's a tearing of the skin.

However, there is nothing worthy of the value of the commander and the national teacher to tear their faces.

When Zhao Yuan heard this, he said in a low voice: "Shen Yan, now the national teacher is extremely favored in front of the emperor, and he can't be called by his name. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao's face became more and more cold.

Although he knew that this Pudu Cihang had a very high status in Kyoto, he did not expect that it would be so high.

You can't even call them by their first names in private.

He opened his mouth and said: "How can the matter of my transfer to Beijing have anything to do with the national teacher?" ”

Zhao Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Do you know about the reform of the imperial examination this year?" ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he said: "I have also heard some rumors about the reform of the imperial examination in Youzhou, but there is no announcement after all, but I don't know much about it. ”

Zhao Yuan said quietly: "Earlier, with the flood of demons and monsters in Youzhou and other places, my Jinyi Wei suffered heavy casualties. ”

"The commander of the capital specially went to ask the one in the palace to reopen the hermit's mansion, so that I and the others also knew about this special organization arranged in secret."

"But although there are many capable people in this hermit's mansion, compared to the situation in various places, it is just a drop in the bucket."

"The commander of the capital intends to unite the Hermit's Mansion and the Jinyi Guard, and then he even implored the reform of the Holy Imperial Examination, in addition to the previous subjects, he also set up the assessment of the Demon Division."

"Specially open a portal for some people who have the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, so that they can be used by Great Wei."

"So this time the imperial examination can be said to be the top priority, and at that time, in addition to those scholars who have taken scientific examinations, there will be many warriors and monks in Kyoto."

"This time, you were transferred to Beijing because the National Teacher said a few kind words for you in front of the Holy Master."

"This also made the Holy Lord aware of your existence, especially when he heard about your age and your great achievements in Youzhou, and he couldn't wait to transfer you to Kyoto."

When Zhao Yuan said this, he arched his hand at Zuo Dao and said: "The virtuous nephew has entered the eyes of the saint, and his future is limitless. ”

"Gou Fugui, don't forget each other!"

Hearing this, Zuo Dao's brows furrowed slightly, it turned out that it was because of this matter.

However, Zhao Yuan's words also proved his previous guess in his heart, and the big centipede was really still thinking about him.

What is there about me that big centipede to worry about?

Say it, can't he change it?

He replied casually: "Uncle Zhao is polite." ”

Forthwith.

Zhao Yuan opened his mouth and said: "By the way, since you have been transferred to Beijing, with your identity, it stands to reason that you should go to meet the commander, but the commander specially mentioned you, saying that after you come back, you will meet him directly." ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he said, "Thank you Uncle Zhao for mentioning it, but it's late today, and I'll go to visit the commander of the capital early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Yuan nodded.

Zuo Dao continued to speak: "By the way, Uncle Zhao, this time I was transferred to Beijing, and I also brought those subordinates who I took away before, I don't know if this matter is in line with the rules?" ”

When Zhao Yuan heard this, he said with a smile: "This matter is simple, when you go to visit the commander of the capital tomorrow, you can mention this matter, you are now famous in the eyes of the commander and the saint, this little thing, presumably the commander will not embarrass you." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao also nodded.

Afterwards, the two exchanged pleasantries in the lobby.

even asked his subordinates to buy some wine and food, and directly reminisced about the old in the lobby.

The conversation lasted until midnight.

When Zuo Dao came out, Zhao Yuan also deliberately sent it to the door, calling out "virtuous nephew" one by one.

seems to be afraid that others will not know that the two of them have a good relationship.

Zuo Dao left Beizhen Fusi, and saw Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others waiting outside the door.

After seeing Zuo Dao come out, he hurriedly greeted him.

Zuo Dao looked at everyone and said with a smile: "You came to Kyoto with me, why are you still waiting outside Fusi in this northern town, and don't go back to see your relatives?" ”

Zhang Long said with a smile: "The adults are not in a hurry to go back, how dare we go back as subordinates?" ”

Zuo Dao waved his hand and said: "I will give you a day off first, and tomorrow I will accompany my relatives at home, I haven't seen you for a year, so I must have a lot to say." ”

Then, he looked at the two Wang Dynasty and Mahan, and said, "When you first enter Kyoto, you will go back with me and stay for a while." ”

"When the matter in Kyoto is settled, I will arrange a place for you two to live."

When Wang Chao and Ma Han heard this, they hurriedly saluted Zuo Dao and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Forthwith.

The brocade guards dispersed.

Wang Chao and Mahan followed the left path to his residence.

Although Zuo Dao only made up for his father's lack of 100 households before, his family still has some foundations.

In Kyoto, there is also a large annex with dozens of servants who maintain the operation of the house on weekdays.

After Zuo Dao went back, he asked people to arrange the residence of the two of them, and he returned to the room and digested what he had gained today.

Now that you're back in Kyoto, you'll have a lot fewer sources of energy points.

So after this imperial examination is over, he must find another reason to send out.

After all, there is the big centipede of Pudu Cihang in Kyoto.

He couldn't rest assured.

And when he came back this time, there was also the big centipede of Pudu Cihang, which made him even more worried.

Thinking of this, he sighed faintly, and then rested on the bed.

Early the next morning.

Zuo Dao and Wang Dynasty Mahan enjoyed breakfast in the lobby.

He looked at the two people who were eating, and said: "In the future, Ma Han will follow Wang Baihu, accumulate some more credit, with your strength, it should not be difficult to promote Baihu." ”

When Ma Han heard this, he said gratefully: "Thank you, sir." ”

Zuo Dao waved his hand casually, then looked at the dynasty, and said: "Your matter, I will think of some way, I want to come to Kyoto's Jinyi Wei merit bank, there should be many one-handed sword techniques, if you practice properly, you may not be able to go further." ”

Wang Chao also said with a grateful face: "Thank you, my lord, this kindness, the humble position is unforgettable." ”

Zuo Dao put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "You will stay at home today, I will visit the commander of the capital this time, but I can't take the two of you there." ”

Wang Dynasty Mahan hurriedly stood up, answered, and saluted Zuodao.

Forthwith.

On the left side, he rode the horses prepared by the upper and lower people, and rode towards the mansion of the commander.

As he passed by the street near the palace, he also saw Pudu's car swaggering in the middle of the road.

After seeing Zuo Dao, Pudu Cihang smiled and said: "Lord Zuo, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss it very much. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao looked at the monk in front of him who had red lips and white teeth, and was quite handsome, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

Then he spoke: "I have the National Teacher Lao to worry about, but I don't miss the National Teacher so much." ”

When Pudu Cihang heard this, he said: "Maybe there is any misunderstanding between the two of us. ”

Zuo Dao shook his head and said, "Misunderstanding? Perhaps! However, in the lower position, I dare not misunderstand. ”

When Aoki Boy heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Lord Zuo, please be cautious." ”

Zuo Dao arched his hand and said, "I will go to visit the commander of the envoy in the future, so I will leave first." ”

After finishing speaking, he directly bypassed Pudu Cihang's car and continued to walk towards the mansion of the commander.

Seeing that Zuo Dao was so faceless, Aoki Tongzi suddenly frowned.

Then he spoke: "Buddha, this left path ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Pudu Cihang raising his hand.

Pudu Cihang said softly: "His cultivation is very wrong, it seems that he has gained a lot of opportunities in Youzhou for a year. ”

When Aoki heard this, he said, "If that's the case, do you want me to invite again?" ”

Pudu Cihang shook his head with a smile and said, "There is no need to be like this, he is too wary of me, and Cao Xiang is openly and secretly protecting this new pacification envoy." ”

"At this juncture, it's not suitable to make some more movements."

Hearing this, Aoki Boy also nodded.

Then, Aoki Boy smiled: "Before, those brocade guards seemed to be tracking down the death of the Great Wei official, but they didn't find anything. ”

When Pudu Cihang heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's not that they haven't found anything, but they can't continue to investigate." ”

He glanced in the direction of the Commander's Mansion, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Now, he doesn't plan to tear his face with me, or rather, the old ancestor in the palace still plans to raise me." ”

"If you raise me, you have to take some risks, and now that the imperial examination is imminent, this reform will inevitably make Great Wei's luck go to the next level."

"My cultivation is bound to accelerate, and when the time comes, I can't say who swallows whom."

"This person will let it go for the time being, and wait until the matter is over, and then make plans."

"There's the aura I want in him, and I'm really getting more and more interested in this new pacification envoy."

"His body, I'm going to fix it."

Speaking of this, the smile on Pudu Cihang's face became more and more bewitching, and then he said softly: "Go, enter the palace, don't let His Majesty the Emperor in the palace wait too long." ”
