December 14, at this time the north has been cold and windy, after inspecting Guangyang County, the Son of Heaven has come to the city of Suidu thousands of miles away, and the accompanying hundreds of thousands of troops can only camp outside the city nearby, and it is impossible to enter the city with the honor guard of the Son of Heaven.

In the city of Suidu, on both sides of the street, thousands of lieutenants of the emperor's honor guard opened the road, and then hundreds of cars and horses passed through the street and went straight to the emperor's palace in the city.

When the Son of Heaven arrived, they shouted in unison, and the emperor's guard of honor quickly disappeared at the end of the street without any stop.

Some people secretly curse and scold in their mouths to go home to bake the fire, the weather in the north is really cold and a little unbearable, if it were not for the local officials forcing them to kneel on both sides of the street to meet the holy car, they would not go out to suffer from the cold, of course, in addition to these scolding factions in the greeting procession, there are many lively factions, even if the officials do not urge, they have to go out to see the legendary Son of Heaven honor guard, this grand occasion is rare.

At this time, in the royal car, Mu Sheng lifted the window to look out of the car and took a look at the ancient city of Suidu.

Suidu was in the Warring States Period, was the capital of Chen, in addition to the Jin State located in the west, the first 10,000 times of the Eastern countries was the Chen State, the Chen State, the Zhuang King era, the Chen State with its strong national strength, the vast geographical area, once dominated the Central Plains for decades, and it was also the strongest stumbling block on the way to the annexation of the world by the Jin State, but with the passage of time, no matter how strong the Chen State was, it could not resist the Jin State with its own strength, which was stronger than it, and finally could not escape the end of being destroyed.

At this time, people and horses outside the car neighed, and the royal car gradually stopped.

Yang Jin, the head of the inner court, entered the imperial car and reported: "Your Majesty, the palace has arrived, please move your majesty." ”

Mu Sheng hummed casually, indicating that he understood, then got out of the carriage and looked in the direction of the palace, and with Yang Jin's support, he went to the palace.

This so-called emperor's palace is not newly built after the unification of the world, in fact, the old palace where the Chen royal family lived in the past was slightly renovated, and the emperor went to stay here to rest as long as he passed through Suidu on patrol.

The old palace of Chen Guo covers an area quite spectacular, the tall and thick palace wall, the buildings and palaces behind it rise and fall, ten steps and a pavilion, the corridor waist and man, although its scale can not be compared with the current Qingyang Palace, but it is not too much, after all, Chen Guo was also a dignified eastern overlord level of the vassal state, this row must still be there.

After entering the palace, Mu Sheng walked around to visit the old palace, and his heart was a little staggered, this Chen State was really rich back then, the palace decoration was really costly, and the small decorations of many buildings outside the palace were actually gilded construction, which looked shining from a distance, resplendent and brilliant, and the decoration in the hall showed the heritage and wealth of the Chen State back then.

Mu Sheng looked at the splendid palace in front of him, and sighed, in the end, it was still like a passing cloud, this once powerful vassal state still did not exist after all, and only the palace in front of him seemed to be silently telling the glorious past of this Chen country.

Zhang Lin and Hong Ze, who were following Mu Sheng, were also shocked by the grand palace complex of the old palace of Chen Guo for a while, and they were amazed along the way.

Hong Ze was surprised for a while: "Wow! It's so big here! It's much more ...... than our Jade True Sect."

Zhang Lin said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, the ancestors of my Zhang family used to be from the Chen Kingdom, but they have never seen what the palace of the Chen Kingdom is like!" ”

Hong Ze pursed his lips and said, "Senior sister must have never seen it, by the time you were born, Chen Guo would have died a long time ago." ”

When Zhang Lin heard this, he sighed with emotion: "That's what I said." ”

Mu Sheng smiled: "To be honest, it's my first time here, since I'm here, let's take a good look." ”

Mu Sheng waved his hand to the attendants behind him and said, "You don't have to follow, go down." ”

All the attendants promised to retreat one after another, and the three of them walked all the way through the empty palace complex, through the corridor, and all the way to the opening of their eyes.

Zhang Lin took Mu Sheng's arm and said, "Senior brother, I haven't felt anything when I first visited here, but I always feel that there is no space here, and I haven't seen a single figure, which is weird." ”

Mu Sheng patted her jade hand lightly and said: "That is, except for being used as a parade palace, there is usually no one living here, and it has been abandoned for more than 20 years. It's a lot livelier in the city than it is here. ”

Hong Ze jumped up and cheered when he heard this: "Okay, senior brother, let's leave the palace, right?" ”

Zhang Lin also nodded excitedly.

The trio quietly slipped out of the palace and onto the street, where the cold wind of early winter made people feel a chill, and there were still many hurried pedestrians on both sides of the street, some walking the streets and alleys, and some setting up stalls to sell food.

The three of them came to a vendor selling rice cakes, Hong Ze stared at the steaming rice cakes and couldn't walk, there were many customers who came to buy rice cakes in this stall, which showed that the boss's craftsmanship was really good.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng smiled slightly, took out fifteen copper coins and handed them to the vendor and said, "Shopkeeper, come here for three rice cakes." ”

The vendor smiled and said, "Come on, I'll wrap it for a few people, please wait a while." ”

After that, the vendor quickly took out three washed and clean leaves, and instantly wrapped three steaming rice cakes and served them.

Mu Sheng took the rice cake and smelled it, the fragrance of the rice went straight to his nose, and the rice cake was decorated with a few bright red dried fruits.

The three of them held the rice cake and ate it while walking, and when they took a bite, the taste was soft, sweet but not greasy.

Mu Sheng praised: "It's really a good craft, and the imperial chefs in the palace don't necessarily have such skills." ”

Hong Ze looked very experienced, and said: "Senior brother has lived in the inner palace for a long time, you may not know, if you want to eat the most authentic local food, you have to find this kind of street food stall, that craftsmanship, that taste, absolutely can't be wrong." ”

Zhang Lin also enjoyed eating, and said: "You kid is really good at picking places, every time I take you out to travel, there will always be surprises, are you a dog's nose?" You can always find the best local snacks with precision. ”

Hong Ze smiled and said, "That is, my cultivation talent is indeed not as good as you, Senior Sister, but this tasting food, I really can't find a few people in the Yuzhen Sect who are stronger than me." ”

Several people talked and laughed, and Mu Sheng also enjoyed the rare fireworks in this world.

The three of them walked to a wine shop, Hong Ze stopped again, he sniffed the faint aroma wafting from the wine shop, swallowed a few times in his throat and said: "Senior brother, senior sister, as expected, this is another good place......

Before Hong Ze's words fell, he turned his head and saw that the two of them didn't pay attention to him at all, Zhang Lin and Mu Sheng were picking out silk in a ready-to-wear shop next to him.

Zhang Lin looked at the dazzling fine silk in the store, touched it here, took a look there, the boss saw that although the two of them were dressed ordinary, they had an extraordinary temperament, and after hesitating for a while, he personally stepped forward and recommended these satins to Zhang Lin and Mu Sheng with a smile.

Zhang Lin turned around a few times, took a fancy to a silk horse, and asked, "Boss, bring me one." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Okay, the girl is really good-looking, this is a high-grade purple cloud brocade, produced in Yunzhong County, thousands of miles away, worth a thousand gold, comparable to tribute, how many feet does the girl want?" ”

Zhang Lin thought about it and looked back at Mu Sheng, and said, "It's enough to give me a zhang." ”

The boss smiled and said, "Okay, Ziyun brocade is fifty gold and one zhang, and the money and goods are clear." ”

Zhang Lin didn't think about it, so he directly took out a gold leaf and handed it to the boss, and the boss saw that Zhang Lin paid so happily, so he quickly wrapped the Ziyun brocade and presented it.

Zhang Lin beckoned Hong Ze to come over and throw the silk to him, and said, "Hong Ze, go on." ”

Hong Ze reluctantly took the package thrown by Miss Zhang, every time he came out to play Zhang Lin went crazy shopping a bunch of things, he was responsible for carrying the goods like a subordinate, but when he thought of Zhang Lin's fierce appearance, he still suppressed his unhappiness, fortunately, every time he came out to eat, drink and have fun, food, clothing, housing and transportation, the senior sister paid for it, and he followed behind to eat and drink, and this little physical work was nothing.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Senior sister, it looks like you want to make a dress for me?" ”

Zhang Lin bowed his head and said, "Hmm." ”

When Zhang Ze heard this, he was surprised: "Senior sister, when did you learn to craft your craft?" ”

Zhang Lin said angrily: "What? Co-author, senior sister, in your eyes, I will only dance with knives and sticks? ”

Hong Ze nodded extremely seriously and said, "Yes, I really think that Senior Sister, you may not be able to do this kind of delicate work." ”

In Hong Ze's heart, Zhang Lin is just a rough martial artist wearing a woman's skin.

Zhang Lin snorted coldly and said, "In the future, I will let your kid see your senior sister's craftsmanship, that is, my senior brother is worthy of letting me show my hand, hum." ”

Mu Sheng smiled bitterly and watched the two of them bickering, and there was a lot of joy along the way.

The three of them played all the way around the city, going around and around, Zhang Lin went on a shopping spree, and Hong Ze was carrying goods like a hill behind his back, and it seemed that he couldn't walk.

Mu Sheng couldn't bear it when he saw it, and said, "Senior Brother Hong, give me a few packages, and I'll hold them for you." ”

Zhang Lin waved his hand, grabbed Mu Sheng's outstretched hand, and said: "Senior brother, this kid is pretending, and it is nothing for cultivators to carry this little thing, let him usually practice lazy, and this time it is just for him to exercise more." ”

Zhang Lin turned his head to Hong Ze and said, "Hong Ze, if there is any eye-catching magic weapon at the auction in Quancheng next time, senior sister, I will take it for you." ”

When Hong Ze heard this, he immediately jumped three feet high, instantly energetic, his waist didn't hurt anymore, and his legs didn't tremble, as if a bunch of packages behind him didn't exist.

Hong Ze stepped forward to take Zhang Lin's hand, and said with a flattering smile: "I know that Senior Sister loves me the most......

Zhang Lin turned his head to Mu Sheng and said, "Senior brother, look at this stinky boy, he was born with this virtue, and he can't afford to be early." ”

Seeing this, Mu Sheng had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

Hong Ze pursed his lips when he heard this, and with the experience of the past, he didn't dare to expose Zhang Lin's old bottom in public.

Hong Ze could only secretly complain in his heart, who among the inner disciples of the entire Jade True Sect can be richer than you, Miss Zhang? This little money is just a drizzle, your grandfather Xuanjing Zhenren is not only an elder of the Yuzhen Sect, but also a marquis of ten thousand households who was sealed by the imperial court.

Your eldest lady Zhang is the only descendant of the Zhang family who can cultivate, and she is naturally favored by Xuanjing Zhenren, who spends money lavishly on weekdays, relying on your monthly money from inner disciples, so expensive, I went to the street to ask for food early, can I compare with you? Still unprofitable and can't afford to be early? Cut...... It's really more popular than people!

However, when Hong Ze thought of Zhang Lin's promise to the gold master, he was still happy in his heart, and he had already thought about when he would be able to get a new magic weapon......
