After another more than ten days of trekking, Gan Fei and his party returned to Jiankang City again.

There was no change when Jiankang City and Gan Fei left, but also, more than a month, this more than a month for Gan Fei and these people, it is no different from the sun and the moon, the world is turned upside down, but in this majestic imperial city, a month is just like a drop in the ocean, and even the mottled traces of the years and years are not counted.

The captain of the garrison at the gate of the city solemnly ordered them to dismount, which surprised Gan Fei, he remembered that when he and Mo Yumei were there, they had always believed in the reins of the horses and rode freely, as long as they paid attention to avoiding the queue of high-ranking officials and nobles in time and not bumping into pedestrians on the road, even the Yulin guards who maintained the security of the imperial city often bowed respectfully when they saw their galloping horses, and never stopped talking.

The captain took the number plate handed by Zhong Linbo, which was engraved with Zhong Linbo's duties and responsibilities of Dongyang County Si Ji Sima, the captain looked at it carefully, and his eyes coldly swept the entourage, Zhong Linbo, who was politely laughing, Shi Ning, who smiled calmly, and Gan Fei, who had a haggard face and couldn't help but look around, the captain threw the number plate back to Zhong Linbo, and said in a rough voice: "Since you are a prince of Dongyang County, you should know the law of the imperial court, and in the imperial city, you have to ride a horse and run wildly?"

Zhong Linbo bowed and responded: "The official matter is urgent, and I am negligent for a while, and I ask the general to forgive me." ”

The lieutenant was very satisfied with Zhong Linbo's attitude, so he didn't stay any longer, waved his hand, signaled for release, and said: "There are few people and you have to slow down, and you need to avoid the road and get off the horse when you encounter a car above the fifth grade, do you know the road?"

"That's right, keep in mind. Zhong Linbo carefully accompanied the words, thanked him, and led Shi Ganfei through the city gate. Although the other party is only a captain guarding the city gate, he is not as good as his own Si Ji Sima in terms of grade, but after all, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, he must not slack off, Zhong Linbo deliberately appeared humble and careful.

"It's strange, I rode back and forth in the city at that time, and no one ever stepped forward to talk much, but what happened today?" Gan Fei muttered as he moved away from the city gate.

"You were a celebrity in the Great Sima Mansion at that time, who dared to ask you?" The black qi he incarnated had always followed everyone, and it was he who knew a little about Gan Fei's experience in the Great Sima Mansion at that time.

Gan Fei suddenly realized, after all, Scaleless didn't know in detail, but when he thought about it now, he suddenly understood. At that time, he was accompanied by Mo Yumei, Mo Yumei was dressed in the uniform of a swordsman from the Great Sima Mansion, and the soldiers in Jiankang City naturally knew that who had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to come to interrogate the swordsman of the Great Sima Mansion?

Zhong Linbo didn't care: "The Imperial City of the Jingshi is like this. You see how many times have we encountered this incident all the way through the state? In short, everything is respectful and careful, Brother Gan, where is your friend?"

"Follow Brother Wu, he is most familiar with that road. Gan Fei said. The place he said was Teng Xiang Teng Ziyan's residence, and that place had no scales to be used by the demon envoy who waded through the dust, and it was expected that he must be familiar with the road.

"I all cast spells from the water of the Qinhuai River and incarnated from the waterway, but I am not familiar with the path from here, do you want to swim into the water with me?"

"Just go in the direction of the Qinhuai River, I remember that it is not far from the mansion of the Langya Wang. Gan Fei still remembers the Shangyuan Festival and Mo Yumei's trip to the Qinhuai River.

"That's right, in this way, I will fly in mid-air, just look at the Qinhuai River, and you will follow all the way. The black qi of the scaleless incarnation flickered, and it rose in mid-air.

Zhong Linbo and Shi Wei looked up at the same time, the spiritual power they now have can easily see the black qi of the scaleless incarnation, only Gan Fei is still looking ahead unconsciously, after discovering Zhong Linbo and Shi Huan's action of raising his head, Gan Fei was stunned, looking blankly into the air, but he couldn't find the black qi, so he could only slowly lower his head and said in a lonely tone: "You still show up, I'...... I can not see you. ”

He no longer has any spiritual power, he can no longer capture the demon's breath as keenly as before, and even the most superficial demonic aura can't be found, for a while, Gan Fei only felt sadness coming from it.

The scaleless figure appeared in front of Ganfei's horse, but fortunately there were no pedestrians on this road, and no one would see the strange sight of this flat ground. Scaleless's gaze crossed Gan Fei, and Zhong Lin Bo Shi Yu behind him glanced at each other, and they didn't say anything more to each other. After walking together for many days, they had long understood where Gan Fei's heart knotted now, so they all carefully avoided the topic of spiritual power elimination.

"Then I'll lead the way, I can see the direction, and now the path will not be wrong. I just haven't walked for a long time, but now I am walking around and looking at the prosperity of Beijing, which is a beautiful thing. Hey, Brother Zhong, you haven't been to Jiankang City much, have you?" said Wuyan deliberately in a relaxed tone, but at the end of the day, he was a goblin from a dust-related messenger, with a fine mind, and in a few words, he gently covered up Gan Fei's self-injury and powerlessness.

"Xiang Mu Didu is a prosperous place of gold powder, but he has never been here, so it is really good to take a look at it. Shi Wei answered, and really led the horse to hold the reins, pacing slowly, with the bearing of reading and appreciating the scenery.

Zhong Linbo also smiled: "I have been here a few times in the past, I am busy with official business, but I have not really seen the customs of this imperial city, there is nothing to do today, a few of us will go shopping, I heard that the capital has exquisite meals, I will make an east in the evening, you are looking for a private wine shop, taste the delicacies here, how beautiful?"

Gan Fei knew what they meant by saying these words, not only did not involve the topic of their own spiritual power loss, but also understood their embarrassment that their physical strength was unsustainable due to their lack of strength. I was a little moved in my heart, and I didn't say anything, Ha Luha smiled: "Since Brother Zhong said this, then I'm not welcome, I know that there is a wine shop by the Qinhuai River that is quite good, and I walked over and estimated that it was dinner time, and dinner was invited by you." Everyone laughed, and their hearts were light.

After all, the capital is the capital, walk through this section of the city gate by the slightly narrow alleys, the road gradually widens, although it is just after lunch, there are more and more pedestrians on the road, both sides of the road are full of gorgeous houses, row upon row, layer upon layer. This is only the scene in the suburbs of the outer city, and then to the inner city, I don't know what kind of lively scene it is.

A few people talked and laughed, and the pace seemed to be much faster, and Zhong Linbo was always the first to propose a short break before Gan Fei felt tired, or bought a few bowls of fragrant and thirst-quenching herbal tea at the pulp vendor stall, and everyone drank happily together; or sat down at the rest place on the side of the road, pointing to the stone plaque of the house and telling allusions, such as where is the old garrison site left by Su Jun's rebellion, or where is the building built by Wang Dun when he was in power, etc., Gan Fei and Shi Wei are very interesting to listen to, this Zhong Linbo said that he has never looked at the customs of Jiankang City, but looking at what he said about these many scenery allusions, it is obvious that he has been here a lot。 But what's the matter? Gan Fei is very affectionate with him, including Shi Wei and Wu Scale, they are simply a little caring along the way, Gan Fei is grateful, but very unaccustomed, I am not the old, weak, sick and disabled who need to be cared for, I think so in my heart, but on the surface I still pretend to be nothing, wait to leave Jiankang City, and then start my own real penance journey.

Seeing that he was approaching the Qinhuai River, Gan Fei also felt that the scenery on both sides was gradually becoming familiar, it was the road he had walked with Mo Yumei in the past, and he almost didn't need to be guided by Scaleless or Zhong Linbo, he could also recognize the path to Teng Xiang's house.

Stepping into the familiar alley, the blue bricks and black tiles on both sides were still the same, the houses were still as low as they had been seen for the first time, and even the musty smell that came into the nose did not change in the slightest.

Gan Fei couldn't help but glance at Scaleless, and found that Scaleless's little eyes were rolling and looking at him, and both of them laughed. It was here that Gan Fei trapped Scaleless, and dragged him into Teng Xiang's house under Scaleless's almost desperate pleading, and thus kicked off the prelude to the Pingtao City Dock. And now, the two of them are walking side by side, one person and one demon abandoning their past suspicions, experiencing life and death with each other, recalling the past, almost like a lifetime.

When he knocked on the piece of firewood and someone answered the door, Gan Fei was almost about to go up and give a hot bear hug, but soon found that the firewood was opened by a trembling white-haired old man.

"Is Teng Ziyan here?

The old man opened his eyes wide in astonishment, listening to Gan Fei's inquiry, but he only spoke a long list of indistinct but incomprehensible vernacular.

Several people stood in the narrow alley and spoke, which soon attracted the attention of a passing posterior.

"His son is on an errand in Shilang's Mansion, and he just moved from his hometown in Jiaozhou, and he can't speak official yet. Hou Sheng kindly came over to remind him.

"Oh, little brother, do you know where one of the scholars who used to live here has gone?" Someone could finally ask, but Gan Fei felt that this posterior was a little familiar.

This snow-white-skinned, but also a slender and somewhat excessively thin descendant seemed to be stunned, and did not answer Gan Fei's words, but stared at Gan Fei for a while.

The old man took the opportunity to shrink his head and took the firewood door with his backhand.

The slight sound of the door shutting awakened Gan Fei and Na Housheng at the same time, and they both recognized each other.

The latter said timidly: "Hero, is it you?"

※※※

It was still in that room where Han Li had invited his own wine shop, and now a lot of wine and meat dishes have been laid out at the same table, and several people sat in groups, Gan Fei stretched out the wine bowl without apology, and touched the wine bowl of the later life: "! I have to accompany a crime, I really made a mistake that day." ”

Who would have thought that the demon hunt failed, but he strayed into his door and mixed up the good things of a couple of cheating men and women, and the young descendant who was trembling in the bed and mistakenly thinking that he was caught and raped in bed was standing in front of him at this moment. In any case, it is always a one-sided friend, and Gan Fei still has a deep sense of guilt, although the two of them are cheating, but after all, the man and the woman are willing, but the good thing has not been done, and they were beaten by the chicken and egg they stirred, this matter is too inauthentic, this must be deeply apologized. So Gan Fei made the decision with all his might, and dragged this posterior life hard, anyway, Zhong Linbo was the east, and he didn't care about an extra pair of chopsticks.

The latter was flattered and responded: "!" He raised his neck and drank it all, and the mellow wine made his already trance-like brain even more chaotic, what was going on? In his opinion, even if this fierce fat man shaved off his beard, he would still look like a vicious god, but how could he drag himself to this wine shop with such enthusiasm? However, for here, the future is flustered but also faintly happy, this is one of the best wine shops in Jiankang City, most of the people who come here to dine are famous and talented, rich businessmen and nobles, with his identity as a small poor person, I am afraid that he will not be able to enter this wine shop for the rest of his life. Even the shopkeeper scanned back and forth several times with a suspicious gaze as soon as he entered the door, but before the shopkeeper could wait for the exit of the shopkeeper, another man with extraordinary bearing beside the fat man blocked his mouth with a gold coin thrown on the case. And such a good thing? Dare not these people be fierce and evil, but my nobles?

Therefore, after a few bowls of wine, the anxious mood was already left behind, and the market patted the skinny chest with full anger: "Chen San in the small back street, a few heroes have a small place, just say!"

Gan Fei Ha said with a smile: "Do you still remember that time, don't you have a good thing, this time I made a special trip to Brother Chen to accompany you." ”

"It's nothing, the hero is too polite. It was the woman who seduced the little one first, and the little one accompanied her a few times, and she thought that the little one was too thin to be useful, so she had already kicked the little one, this bird girl, what a fucking ruthless and unrighteous woman!" Chen San laughed, and used what he thought was the most gentle expression.

Scaleless sat on the side, and he also recognized this Chen San. That day, when he wanted to attack the little boy by the river, wasn't it this guy who ran and returned and alarmed the neighbors left and right? Scaleless sighed very emotionally, if there was no interference from this guy that day, and he finally succeeded in eating that young child, then would Gan Fei still save his life in the end? In fact, since he became a dust messenger, he had not eaten human flesh, and because of this, the blood spirit Dao demonic aura on his body was not as strong as that of other demons, perhaps, this was also one of the reasons why the demon slayer finally let himself go.

Shi Wei was quite interested in the fragrant affair of Chen San's cheating, and said a few words of obscene poetry, and Chen San was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the five bodies were thrown to the ground.

After the five flavors of the dish, Gan Fei asked Chen San: "Brother Chen, do you know where that scholar from Lu Dao has gone?"

"Lord Teng, we all know the truth. Chen San's face was already a little drunk, and his neck was thick, "I haven't lived there for a long time, I heard that he was appreciated by the imperial court, and he became a big official, and the imperial court gave him a mansion." The neighbors all said that this is a golden phoenix flying out of the sparrow's nest, tsk, but it's amazing!"

That's right, Gan Fei Meng, didn't Teng Xiang become the lieutenant of the Mausoleum? After these days, he would have taken office as soon as possible. After ascending to the official career and becoming a high-ranking official, how can he still live in this poor street and alley?

"Do you know where Lord Nateng's mansion is now?"

"Ha Luha, the little one once carried Lord Teng's family over, but he recognized it. Heroes, only on the small body, the small one will take you over early tomorrow morning. Chen San patted his chest again, and hurriedly tore off a piece of the fattest duck breast and stuffed it into his mouth.
