Chapter 51 Imperial City, Jianming

"I'm so hungry for that, so I'm looking for something to eat. But your bread is too unpalatable, so don't worry, I'll accompany you for the money. Is a hundred taels enough? enough for you to buy countless cakes. ”

Liu Fei was still a little ashamed in the previous sentence, but when it came to the worst, he became confident. As if money could solve all embarrassment and shame.

Mu Chen didn't speak, knocked the rabbit in his hand unconscious, and then remained on the ground. He picked up the flatbread on the floor, patted it, and then tore off the dusty side and put it back in the package.

Liu Fei looked at Mu Chen blankly, "This cake is dirty, what are you picking it up for?

"Looking at the tone of your clothes, you know that you are the eldest lady who is proud of the family. Of course, you can't get used to eating what we mountain villagers eat. That's why I won't give you bread or jerky. My grandfather taught me from a young age to cherish food. Even though the flatbread is dirty, there is still one side that is still clean. Why can't you eat it?"

Mu Chen said lightly, there was no trace of emotion in his tone, but it was even more cold, "I'll roast a hare for you to eat, you can wait a minute." ”

After speaking, Mu Chen took the hare, walked to the shadow on the side, and then took out a dagger and began to disembowel and do the cleaning work.

Although in the wild, there is no water source, but this is not difficult for Mu Chen. In the place where Liu Fei couldn't see, the ice condensed, and then melted it immediately, and a large area of water was obtained, which washed the hare clean.

Raise the fire and set up the hare. After a while, a smell of meat spread, making Liu Fei, who was already hungry on the side, even more unbearable, and kept urging.

Mu Chen has followed his grandfather as a hunter since he was a child, hunting in the mountains and forests. Cooking food, especially barbecue, is even better.

When the whole hare was completely scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, Mu Chen lifted the roast rabbit and quietly lowered the temperature with the ice magic power, which was just right for the entrance. then tore off a thigh and handed it to Liu Fei.

"Eat. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Fei looked at Mu Chen, and the hare feasted up. I just feel that all the delicious delicacies I have eaten before are not as good as the taste of this rabbit leg. For this feeling, Mu Chen summed it up in one word: hungry.

Most of the whole hare fell into Liu Fei's belly, and she patted her stomach with satisfaction and let out a long breath.

Mu Chen ate the remaining hare without saying a word, cleaned it up, and found a place to rest. And Liu Fei looked at Mu Chen's back and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it after all.

The night passed like this.

Three days later.

Mu Chen and Liu Fei finally came to the imperial city, got off their horses, walked to the back of the long line outside the city gate, and lined up for inspection.

"Is this the Imperial City, it's so big?"

Mu Chen looked at the city wall standing tall, as well as the soldiers on the city wall, groups of soldiers patrolling closely, and sighed.

"Of course, this is the capital of Dazhi, the brokerage cultural center of the land of the five states, can it not be majestic?"

Liu Fei seemed to be used to it, said lightly, and then leaned over to Mu Chen's side, "From now on, I am from the country of Bola."

"The son of a small merchant in the kingdom of Phila, who admired the culture of the Celestial Empire, came to worship. Your name is Muhammad Abedd Aruf Arafat, and your name is Liu Fei, and you have said it a hundred times along the way!"

Seeing that Mu Chen could finally say her name and pseudonym in one breath, Liu Fei nodded with satisfaction, and then waited quietly in the team.

It may be because this day is the day when the Wenyuan of the major martial arts academies opens, so there are a lot of people who come to the city. In front of Mu Chen and the two alone, a team of nearly 100 meters was discharged. And the team is still growing.

The gate was very large, more than ten meters wide. Divided in half by a group of soldiers—on one side were the candidates or tenant peasants on foot or on horseback, who were required to pay a ten-penny entry tax before they could enter. On the other side, wealthy merchants who drove horse-drawn carriages and convoys needed to pay an entry tax of one to ten taels of silver, depending on the size of the team.

Mu Chen was secretly shocked when he looked at it from behind, just for a short period of time, the people who entered the city gate had already paid hundreds of taels of entry tax, which was simply a huge profit!

After looking at it, Mu Chen turned his head again to look at the people waiting to enter the city.

A small number of peasant tenants, and many more people, dressed as scholars, were obviously going to take the entrance examination.

After waiting for half an hour, it was finally Mu Chen's turn and the two of them, and after paying the twenty wen entry tax, the two entered the imperial city directly.

"Where are we going now?" Liu Fei asked casually as he looked at the crowd in the imperial city.

"Of course, I went to the Jianming Martial Arts Academy. ”

Mu Chen said a word, found a passer-by and asked for directions, and then walked in the direction of Jianming Martial Academy.

Jianming Martial Arts Academy, standing in the east of the edge of the imperial city, occupies a huge area, far away, you can see the high mountains undulating, the scene of cypress and poplar pine. And when I got closer, I found that these mountain giant trees were all in the martial arts courtyard!

Mu Chen came to the gate of the martial arts courtyard, but found that the gate was tightly closed, and the two golden characters of "Jianming" dancing on it were impressive.

On the left and right of the gate, there are two huge pillars, the huge pillars are rough, and they are not carved and carved for decoration at all. Instead, it seems to be a naturally formed stone pillar in the mountain, and even the shape is a little irregular.

But on this stone pillar, there are two lines of big characters deeply engraved on the left and right.

On the right is, "Self-improvement, martial arts and virtue"

On the left is, "Self-cultivation and self-cultivation, Xi Wenhongdao"

When Mu Chen saw these two lines of words, he was first stunned by the pen of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and then saw that this word was deeply embedded in the stone pillar, and the corners were smooth, and it was completed in one go. And the words are connected to each other, without a trace of breakage, and it is written in one breath!

Who, and by what means, wrote such a precept on this hard stone body!

Mu Chen was deeply shocked, and came back to his senses for a long time, but saw Liu Fei running to an uncle who was guarding the door next to him, asking about something.

Mu Chen walked in and listened to what the uncle said. "You're a freshman who came to take the entrance exam, right? There are still seven days before the martial arts assessment starts, so you can come over then. ”

When Mu Chen heard this, he thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, may I ask if Dean Pan Dongsheng is in the courtyard?"
