Chapter 53: The Royal Capital
After Mu Xiaofeng and his entourage rested for a long time, they continued to set off towards the royal capital. After passing the King's Mountains, they were very close to the royal capital, and they walked through several dilapidated small villages, and arrived at the gate of the royal capital before sunset.
At this time, there were two people standing at the gate of the royal capital, one was tall and thin, and the other was short and fat. When these two people saw Mu Xiaofeng and his party coming, they stepped forward to greet them. One of the short and fat men complained, "It stands to reason that you should be there at noon, why did you take so long?" ”
It seems that this person should be the messenger who greeted them, but the blood spirit purple seal hurriedly stepped forward and told the short and fat messenger all about what they had experienced on the road, and they were too late because they had encountered robbers. However, after Qiao Zi saw the tall and thin man, he immediately shouted: "Uncle." Then he rushed up and hugged the man.
Mu Xiaofeng took a closer look at this person, this person was half silver and half black, but he didn't have any beard, and his face looked very young, just in his twenties. However, Qiao Zi directly called this person uncle, which also made everyone can't believe it, and he felt that the person in front of him should be Qiao Zi's brother.
Qiao Zi then introduced this uncle to everyone, this person is the patriarch of the Qiao family, named Qiao Tong. Although it seems that Qiao Tong is only in his twenties, his real age is already in his fifties, but his face is the same as his name, and he is not old.
Qiao Zi is a branch of the Qiao family and lives in Luohai City, but Qiao Zi has to go with his parents to visit the Qiao family near the royal capital every year, of course, Qiao Zi has to visit Qiao Tong every year.
Of course, Qiao Tong loved this lovely niece very much, he touched Qiao Zi's head lovingly, and then greeted everyone, and said: "You have come from afar, hurry up and go into the city to rest, the king has prepared the best hotel and wine and food in the royal capital for you." ”
Qiao Tong was much kinder than the short and fat messenger, he should be the messenger sent by the king to greet Mu Xiaofeng and everyone together with the short and fat messenger, so Mu Xiaofeng and his party followed the two messengers into the royal capital.
This royal capital can be regarded as extremely luxurious, every building is very decorated, it seems that the people in the royal capital have status, not ordinary people can live in the royal capital, ordinary people can only live in the dilapidated villages outside the royal capital.
Mu Xiaofeng and their group of children all felt fresh about the things in the royal capital, everyone was carefully looking at everything around them, after all, it was difficult to enter the royal capital, maybe this time would be the last time they came.
It didn't take long for them to come to a luxurious hotel, and at this time Qiao Tong stopped at the door, then turned to Mu Xiaofeng and said, "I'll send it here today, and then Lord Qian will arrange your food and lodging, and I'll leave first." ”
It hadn't been long before Qiao Zi heard that Uncle Qiao Tong was leaving, so he reluctantly tugged on Qiao Tong's clothes and asked, "Uncle, why are you leaving us so soon?" Can't you stay with us a little longer? ”
Qiao Zi was coquettish to Qiao Tong, hoping that Qiao Tong could stay with her, after all, the two had not seen each other for a long time, and Qiao Zi certainly had a lot to talk about this loving Qiao Tong. But Qiao Tong smiled helplessly, shook his head, and signaled that he couldn't stay.
At this time, Qian Luo, who had been watching for a long time on the sidelines, spoke, "Little girl, don't think about it, for a period of time after dark, no one who is qualified to live in the royal capital can stay, how can your Qiao family, a declining family, stay in the royal capital at night?" ”
The money was rolling in like this, but Qiao Tong's face couldn't hang up, Qiao Tong's face twitched, but he still forced a smile and said goodbye to everyone.
Although the Qiao family is a big family, they can only live near the royal capital, and they have no qualifications to live in the royal capital. However, the money in front of him reminded Mu Xiaofeng of the bully in Lisheng's story, so Mu Xiaofeng asked Qian Rolling directly: "Uncle Qian Rolling, do you know a person named Lisheng?" ”
Qian Rolling's face changed in surprise when he heard the name Lisheng, and then he immediately replied to Mu Xiaofeng angrily: "Hmph! Lisheng's thief used to be a classmate of me, but after being defeated by me at school, he didn't have the face to stay in school, so he went out to fall into the grass and become a robber. ”
Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh when he heard Qian Rolling say this, this Qian Rolling was obviously a fart and urine flow who was beaten by Lisheng, but he was bragging about it here, it was really funny.
Mu Xiaofeng knew that it would only be more boring to mention Lisheng again, so he stopped talking about this topic and followed the others into the hotel to settle down. However, Mu Xiaofeng and the others should be able to guess that Qian Rolling was one of the bullies who bullied Lisheng back then.
After the group settled down, they were ready to rest early, and they were going to meet the king the next day, and they were already exhausted from the tossing and turning along the way. After eating and drinking, Mu Xiaofeng returned to his room, of course, he and Zhang Wenyu were in the same room.
Mu Xiaofeng was lying on the bed, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Wenyu on the adjacent bed, at this time Zhang Wenyu was looking at Mu Xiaofeng, Mu Xiaofeng had never seen Zhang Wenyu's eyes so puzzled, so he asked, "Zhang Wenyu, what are you looking at?" ”
Zhang Wenyu stood up at this time, walked in front of Mu Xiaofeng, looked at Mu Xiaofeng's eyes carefully, and then asked, "Mu Xiaofeng, how strong are you?" How can you suddenly defeat those bandit leaders with ease? ”
Zhang Wenyu was obviously surprised by Mu Xiaofeng's rampage before, he had never seen Mu Xiaofeng so powerful, nor had he ever seen Mu Xiaofeng so ruthless.
When Mu Xiaofeng heard Zhang Wenyu say this, he immediately avoided looking at Zhang Wenyu, and then lowered his head and said, "Am I strong?" I think sometimes you're suddenly very strong. ”
Mu Xiaofeng obviously used the matter of Zhang Wenyu's rampaging to divert this topic, after all, Mu Xiaofeng didn't want Zhang Wenyu to know about those shadows.
And Zhang Wenyu was contemplative when Mu Xiaofeng said this, it is true that his own situation has not yet been clarified. At this time, Mu Xiaofeng asked Zhang Wenyu: "Zhang Wenyu, I've known you for so long, but I don't know anything about your past!" You never told me about your past. ”
Zhang Wenyu was stunned by Mu Xiaofeng's question at this time, it is true that he had never mentioned anything before he met Mu Xiaofeng, and he had never invited Mu Xiaofeng to his house to have a look.
Zhang Wenyu thought about it for a moment at this time, then sighed and said: "I haven't seen my father since I was a child, and my family is supported by my mother alone, so it should be like this." ”
At this time, the door of Mu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wenyu was suddenly pushed open, and a person walked outside the door, this person was Qin Baoyi, she helped Zhang Wenyu add: "And the neighbor is Qin Baoyi, I have known each other for a long time." ”
Hearing Qin Baoyi say this, Mu Xiaofeng also suddenly realized, he finally understood why Qin Baoyi always stuck to Zhang Wenyu, and the two of them should be childhood sweethearts.
However, Mu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wenyu were surprised by Qin Baoyi's sudden arrival, and they didn't know what Qin Baoyi had come to look for the two of them.
Qin Baoyi looked at Mu Xiaofeng's puzzled expressions towards her, and then spoke, "Qiao Zi and I were a little bored in the room, and we decided to secretly go out to see the night market in the royal capital, so we came to find you together." ”
The two little girls, Qiao Zi and Qin Baoyi, are still very yearning for the night market in Wangdu, and they also know that they will go to see the king early tomorrow morning, but they are afraid that they will go out of the city after seeing the king, and then they will not have the opportunity to visit the night market in Wangdu again.
Of course, Mu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wenyu couldn't go out like this, although they were a little tired, they decided to accompany the two of them out. So they went downstairs with Qin Baoyi to meet Qiao Zi, who had already sneaked downstairs and was ready to go out.
As soon as Qiao Zi saw that Mu Xiaofeng was coming, he happily ran forward, took Mu Xiaofeng's hand, and greeted him affectionately, and then the four of them went out of the hotel to see the night market in Wangdu.
The night market in this royal capital has everything, and all kinds of delicious and fun things make Mu Xiaofeng and the four of them excited, and the four of them are constantly looking for all kinds of fresh things in the night market. After walking around for a while, Mu Xiaofeng and the four of them came to the front of a stage, and the four of them watched the performance intently in front of the stage.
It didn't take long for a man dressed in fancy clothes to walk towards Mu Xiaofeng and the four of them, and then said to Qin Baoyi among them: "Hello Miss, my young master wants to invite Miss to the restaurant opposite to enjoy the play, and by the way, invite Miss to eat the most delicious snacks in this royal capital." ”
Hearing this person say this, Qin Baoyi jumped up excitedly, she wanted to try the most delicious snack in the royal capital, so she agreed to this person.
But at this time, Zhang Wenyu grabbed Qin Baoyi, and then said to this person: "It's okay to go, but we have to go together, I'm afraid that your delicious food is not enough for us to eat." ”
Hearing Zhang Wenyu say this, this man in gorgeous clothes happily replied: "How is it possible, our young master is the richest person in this royal capital, it is simply trivial to invite the four of you, please come here." ”
When Zhang Wenyu learned that this young master was the richest person in the royal capital, he was stunned for a moment, and then went to the tall building opposite the stage with the others suspiciously. However, Mu Xiaofeng and Qiao Zi didn't think about it so much, they also wanted to see what kind of person the richest person in this royal capital was.
A few people soon came to this building, the decoration in this building is really gorgeous, everywhere is inlaid with gold and silver, it seems that it is not a place that ordinary people can consume.
Mu Xiaofeng and the others were led into a room, and a few people pushed the door in, and there was a teenager who was not much older than them sitting inside.
