Chapter 38 Entering the State Capital

Twelve days, and now it has been a full twelve days since Su Wen and his party left Linchuan City.

The carriage drove slowly on the official road, extremely stable, and it was still Yanbei who was driving, and the passengers in the car were in addition to the original Su Wen, Su Yu, Tang Ji and Haoma, and there was also a little phantom mouse named Squeak.

After a few days of ineffective resistance, the little guy seemed to resign himself to his fate and finally accepted the name Squeak.

At this time, Squeak was lying leisurely in Su Yu's arms and falling asleep, without the slightest awareness of being a pet, Su Yu didn't mind this, but stretched out his weak fingers and gently helped Squeak massage, the corners of his mouth turned up from time to time, looking very happy.

Because of the arrival of Squeak, Su Yu has become much more cheerful than before, with a smile on his face all day long, and his love for Squeak Cheng Dù has reached the point of no return.

Hug when you sit in the car, hug when you eat, and even when you sleep, according to Tang Fatzi's words, I'm afraid that in the near future, Squeak's status in Su Yu's heart will surpass Su Wen! Su Wen is not jealous of this, as long as the little girl can be happy every day, his status will decline, but the premise of this qiē is that Squeak has not used his own bewitching technique!

For this reason, Su Wen went to ask Yanbei's opinion for the first time, and after receiving a positive answer, he was relieved to leave Squeak by Su Yu's side.

The carriage is naturally not the original one, this is still two days after everyone walked on foot, Su Wen bought it from a small town, otherwise if it really relied on everyone's legs to go on like this, I am afraid that it would not be able to reach the state capital in a month.

"It's here! It's finally here!"

Tang Ji stuck his head out of the car window, and faintly saw the towering city wall in the distance, and suddenly couldn't help but shout loudly.

Tang Ji's voice immediately woke up the squeak in Su Yu's arms, and the little guy was so frightened that he hurriedly drilled into Su Yu's clothes, leaving only a pair of small eyes, looking around in a panic.

Su Wen was also overjoyed when he heard this, after a long journey of nearly half a month, anyone who heard the news would cheer.

He lifted the curtain, jumped to the front of the car in two or three steps, and asked, "Brother Yan, is there Huizhou Mansion ahead?"

Yan Bei nodded silently, which was affirmative.

After receiving the reply, Su Wen excitedly returned to the carriage and said to Tang Ji with a smile: "This time it is really here." ”

Seeing this, Tang Ji hurriedly took the opportunity to ask: "By the way, Su Wen, you see that this is almost the state capital, you can tell me, how did you see through the illusion under the squeaky cloth in the first place!"

Tang Ji didn't know how many times he had asked this question along the way, but every time Su Wen laughed and didn't answer, he choked Tang Ji enough.

It's not that Su Wen doesn't want to say it, but even if he tells the truth, Tang Ji may not believe it.

He can't tell Tang Ji because he has hyperamnesia, so everything will be unforgettable as long as he sees it once, for example, when the illusion first arrived, he clearly saw that there was no tomb in front of him, but then it appeared inexplicably, but at that time, Su Wen was disturbed by too much outside interference and was not able to see it through at the first time.

And after Su Wen watched "Hundred Demon Chronicles" once, he had already remembered all the demon beasts in it, and even knew their eating habits, posture, combat habits, etc., so there would definitely be no demon beasts that Su Wen didn't know!

Unless, that's not the real world!

This is the truth that Su Wen can see through the illusion!

However, if he says it, will anyone believe it? Moreover, the amnesia involves Su Wen's biggest secret, because he was not originally a person in this world, and this secret is something that Su Wen must never mention to anyone, even if it is the person closest to him, even if it is Tang Ji, or even Su Yu!

At this time, seeing that Tang Ji was still holding on to this question, Su Wen had no choice but to smile helplessly and said, "It's not simple, because I'm a genius!"

This answer immediately made Tang Ji roll his eyes, although what Su Wen said was the truth, but it had nothing to do with his question.

"Forget it, stingy ghost!" With a wave of his hand, Tang Ji finally gave up his plan to get to the bottom of it completely, and returned his attention to the supreme longing for the state capital.

Haoma also smiled and asked Su Wen: "I don't know if Su Gongzi will have any arrangements after he arrives in the state capital?" If not, why don't you live with me, I happen to have an ancestral house in Huizhou Mansion." ”

Su Wen hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't! I have already made a plan, and when I get to the state capital, I will buy a property." ”

Just kidding, how dare Su Wen live with this little monk, he has nothing to do, he is either a traitor or a thief! Don't be sold by others and help count the money. Besides, along the way, although Su Wen has slowly accepted this partner's deposit, after all, he doesn't know anything about Haoma's details, so it's always right to be cautious.

Haoma no longer persuaded, but asked curiously: "Oh? Su Gongzi is going to buy a house directly to live in?" But with all due respect, the real estate in the state capital is not cheap. ”

Su Wen smiled and said, "Naturally, you can't afford a house, but if you buy a small shop, you won't be able to sit on the mountain and eat empty, but you can also use it to live, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

After a pause, Su Wen added: "Even if you can't even buy a shop at that time, it's always okay to rent one." ”

For this reason, Su Wen has also been carefully considered, at this time there is still more than a month before the start of the state exam, if he has been living in the inn is obviously not a way, and the inn is full of people, it will always have some impact on his preparation for the exam, it is better to buy a small shop down, the front is used to operate some calligraphy and painting books, etc., and the back is used as a residence, which is more practical.

Haoma smiled mysteriously when he heard this, but he didn't speak anymore.

It wasn't until Su Wen really entered the Huizhou Mansion that he knew that his thoughts were really too naïve.

Huizhou Mansion is one of the four major state capitals of the country, and it is one of the most magnificent, just because not far from the suburbs of Huizhou Mansion, there is the only academy in the whole country, Hongming Academy.

There are only seven academies in the ten countries of the human race, and the rest of the places for scholars to study can be called study houses, which can be book gates, but they are not allowed to call themselves academies!

This has been an unwritten rule since the Divine Book came to the world!

Anyone who dares to break the rules will attract the condemnation of all the readers in the world!

Because of the proximity to Hongming Academy, so the status of Huizhou Mansion has also risen, and its prosperity is not comparable to the other three major state capitals, especially when it comes to the state examination, the huge Huizhou Mansion will be overcrowded, fortunately, the students who can participate in the state examination are all scholars who have obtained academic degrees, and the threshold has been raised a lot in disguise, otherwise I am afraid that even the streets will be full of students who come to take the exam.

At this time, there is still about a month and a half before the state exam, but in front of the gate of Huizhou Mansion, there is already a long queue, which is staggering.

"These are all from the state exam?" Su Wen's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

Haoma smiled: "Not really, after all, the degree is not so easy to obtain, and there must be a large number of escorts among these people you see." ”

"For example, I once saw that when a rich kid came to prepare for the exam, not only his parents and relatives came, but he even brought dozens of servants, followed by more than a dozen carriages, and it is said that he also brought dozens of catties of grain!"

When Su Wen heard this, he smiled bitterly, how can the scene in front of him be similar to the college entrance examination in his previous life? Although the college entrance examination is not so exaggerated, the mood of every parent who wants their son to become a dragon is the same no matter what world they are in.

Fortunately, the soldiers defending the city were only responsible for maintaining order, and they did not mean to collect taxes or inspect the convoys, so they marched at a fast pace.

As soon as he entered the city, Su Yu was shocked by the prosperity of the state capital, opened his mouth wide, and stared intently at the car outside, even Tang Ji, who claimed to be well-informed, let out bursts of exclamations from time to time, like a dirt bun who had just entered the city.

"Wow, look at that restaurant, it's even more magnificent than our City Lord's Mansion!"

"Compared with the people here, the clothes on the uncle's body are even worse than the beggar's outfit!"

"Su Wen, look at it, look at it, that *** looks better than Xiao Yun!"

Compared with Tang Ji's shouting, Su Wen seemed much calmer, after all, he was from a big city, in his opinion, if it was really about prosperity, how could the towns in this world be compared with modern cities?

Haoma had been secretly observing everyone's expressions, and when he saw Su Wen's calm face, a smile flashed in his eyes.

After entering the city, Yanbei simply separated from everyone, left the carriage to Su Wen, and disappeared into the vast sea of people alone, and when he left, he didn't even say a word of goodbye.

It's a little incredible, even though Su Wen has been with Yanbei for more than ten days, he still hasn't had a chance to see Yanbei's appearance clearly, and Su Wen has no choice but to smile bitterly at this.

After Yanbei left, the second person to say goodbye to everyone was Haoma, but Haoma carefully left his address, and specially instructed Su Wen to be a guest, so he left with the same smile as always.

"What do we do now?" Tang Ji looked at Su Wen with a look of being in charge of your decision.

"Find a place to live first, and then I'll go to Zhang Luo's shop tomorrow. ”

Su Wen said, pulled the reins, led the horse and strolled through the streets of the state capital, while looking for a suitable hotel, while secretly pinching the silver ticket in his arms, he was glad in his heart, fortunately, he did not refuse Lord Zhang's kindness that day.
