Chapter 70: The Inner City
After the arrival of the lord of Xizhou, the king of Dayan immediately issued a proclamation, saying that the prince of Dayan would marry him in three days, feast all over the world, and the inner city would be open to the public for three days, exempt from taxes for three years, and the whole world would celebrate.
Such a policy is naturally a good thing for the ordinary people, but for a monk like Mu Qing, who has been running for three days and two ends, it is an inconsequential piece of news.
Mu Qing wanted to leave immediately after solving the matter at hand, but soon the inside story came out that the banquet could be attended for free, and there would also be elixir and jade dew at the banquet, which was a good thing to nourish the body and warm the soul.
He was tempted and decided to go, but what really made him make up his mind to go was the news he overheard that the children of the family in the capital would also come, and he felt that he would meet Wang Xiaoniu.
Although it is possible, with the power of the royal family in the capital, even if it is just for the sake of face, most of them will send people over. Sure enough, in the guest list announced by Dayan the next day, there was this royal family in the capital.
Mu Qing didn't know what the chick's name was, but with her eccentric body, someone still knew it after a little inquiry.
"You mean the holy daughter of the Wang family, Wang Wanqing?"
"That's one of the top ten famous saints in the capital." Someone chimed in.
"After all, it's an important matter for Dayan and Xizhou, and it's impossible for them not to come."
I just found a drinker in the tavern and asked a little, and many people immediately agreed. The next topic is the saints in the capital, or which saints are in love with others? Moreover, it is those outstanding achievements that are amazing.
Mu Qing was not interested in who the saints were, but when he heard that those saints were powerful, he also pricked up his ears and listened carefully. It's okay not to listen to this, but the more I listen to it, the more terrifying I feel, and I feel inexplicable fear.
He couldn't help but speak: "Wang Wanqing is not the most powerful in crossing the rank to kill the Heavenly Firmament Realm?" ”
Mu Qing didn't know how this Wang Wanqing killed the Heavenly Cang Realm, but there were so many people who passed it on by mouth, and most of this matter was not mixed with water.
This means that Wang Xiaoniu is really an opponent who kills by herself, which is much more powerful than him, a half-ass.
Someone next to him sneered, thinking that Mu Qing hadn't really learned about these demons.
After a sip of wine, she got up and patted her stomach, and said in a beaming voice: "The top of the holy woman's list, when she was fifteen years old, she killed the Heavenly Firmament Realm, and it was then that she came to the Spiritual Realm; Besides, the second saint daughter second only to her, when she first entered the Heavenly Firmament Realm, she fought against the two major Danying Realm evil cultivators without falling behind, and retreated with her whole body......."
The drinkers with glasses seem to have experienced everything about the saints, and the sound and color are immersive. After listening, they all sighed at the amazement of the saints in the capital, and were shocked by the depth of the foundation of the Tianjiao in the capital.
Mu Qing hadn't listened to it here for too long, and the drinker had already talked about the Ten Holy Sons. It's all well-known ruthless characters, but the topic is not as much as that of the saints, and after a few digressions, I pulled it back.
The next Dayan City was extremely lively, there were too many people, Mu Qing didn't have the heart to go out, from the morning of the second day when the announcement was issued, there were nobles arriving one after another, and even the sects in the deep mountains had people coming to congratulate, full of pomp.
In the room of the tavern, Mu Qing asked Xiao Er to pay attention to the outside news every day, especially the information of the guests who came and went. In normal times, it is naturally not known to outsiders, but this time it is different, in order to give enough respect, whenever a nobleman arrives, an announcement will be immediately posted throughout the city.
Until the third day, Mu Qing still didn't hear the news of the arrival of the Wang family. I suspect in my heart, this Wang family won't have come quietly a long time ago, right? Or do you think that King Dayan is too ostentatious this time and doesn't want to get involved?
But after thinking about it, there is really a Wang family in the invitation list of King Dayan, and he shouldn't not come, at least he still has to give face.
He has begun to guess blindly, is there a grievance between this Dayan and the Wang family that outsiders don't know?
For example, the mother of the Great Yan family fell in love with the head of the Wang family, but was forced to marry the King of Great Yan? Or maybe King Dayan and the head of the Wang family were close friends in the early years, but because of some things, King Dayan wanted to take this opportunity to rebuild the relationship, but the head of the Wang family didn't give face?
All kinds of bloody plots were made up by him, and he almost said that King Dayan and the head of the Wang family were broken backs.
Soon, Mu Qing's absurd thoughts were completely shattered by the news sent.
Xiao Er hurriedly came, sweating profusely, panting like a cow, saying that the head of the Wang family had arrived, and he was a gray-haired old man, some people said that he had lived for hundreds of years, experienced the most terrifying turmoil in the capital, and was a living antique.
"Ah, it turned out to be an ancestor." Mu Qing had a black face, thought like this, and got up.
Xiao Er was a little puzzled, scratched his head, and received Mu Qing's reward in a daze. I muttered in my heart, where did I say something wrong? Or is it not thoughtful enough and asks less about something? That's why he disappointed this Lord.
Today is the big wedding banquet of the county lord of Xizhou and the prince of Dayan, and the monks and ordinary people of the whole city flock to the inner city. The scene was crowded, and even the monks were staggered, but a ban was issued in the sky, and all the monks walked to it, except for some big people.
Mu Qing drifted with the crowd, having the feeling of rushing forward in the tunnel decades ago. But this time it's not for birth, but to see marriage, it's also idle to think about it, after 'fighting' with so many people, just to watch others walk from one home to another, Mu Qing feels that his head is funny.
After entering the inner city with difficulty, my eyes suddenly opened up, as if I had come to a new world.
The originally crowded streets of the outer city have a place to settle down, and there are even some bustling, pavilions, antique, imperial majesty, and the thick golden atmosphere all make people feel the luxury and atmosphere of the inner city.
Mu Qing walked alone on the bluestone brick face, looked left and right, and found that all the masters standing on the surrounding city walls were masters.
Some of them wore unicorn suits, with special identities, and their sharp eyes scanned the audience, but whenever anyone did anything wrong, the bows and crossbows they held could shoot from a long distance, and they were extremely accurate; On the side, there are some wearing black armor, staring solemnly, those are all generals, tigers and bears, fierce and vicious, making people frightened.
This group of people is murderous, and they are ruthless characters who have taken a back seat from the battlefield.
Back to the present, the circular square is surrounded by soldiers holding Jin Ge, spreading outward in a circle, and the huge square is filled with tens of thousands of desks. Dressed straight court maids are carefully arranging the table, and the eunuchs are welcoming everyone to their seats.
This is a large square, there is no distinction between high and low, and those who come are guests. Of course, you can't watch the whole process here, and you can only get a glimpse of the wedding process when the float returns from the outer city around the city.
Mu Qing didn't choose the big square, since they were all here, they still had to go to the center of the inner city to have a look. However, it was a hassle to get through the central gate of the inner city, and he found that everyone who could get in seemed to have invitations.
This is information that the general public outside has not received.
Later, I inquired and learned that those were bought with money, and King Dayan wanted to take this opportunity to make money.
Mu Qing leaned over slowly, the defense of the inner city gate was tighter than the square, and even the weakest soldiers standing guard were in the Earth Spirit Realm, with five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post, and as many as thousands of people on duty.
Stretching his neck to look at the invitation card in the hand of the rich man, Mu Qing retreated to the square under the scrutinizing gaze of several eunuchs and generals. Xu was suspicious of Mu Qing's intentions, and without waiting for them to attack, Mu Qing took the lead in waving his hand and muttered sourly: "What's this, isn't it just getting married." ”
Hearing this, the general's eyes immediately widened with anger, and he was about to teach him a lesson, but a eunuch immediately panicked to stop him, and said a few words in the general's ear with a pale face, and the general, who was still angry, immediately quieted down and retreated to his original position to continue to be on duty, but his eyes looked at Mu Qing with contempt.
Mu Qing, who touched his nose, returned to the inner city square, which was already crowded at this time, and there were already seven or eight people sharing a table.
It stands to reason that a table can only be shared by two people, and the food on it is only for two people, one is quiet, and the other is beautiful.
