Chapter 100: Yecheng
Yecheng is not small, as the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it can also be said to be a strong and happy city, the Tianqiwei guarding the city is wearing black armor, carrying a Wei knife behind his back, a dagger tied to his ankles, and a small crossbow hanging on his waist.
In other cities, it will be suppressed by Qi Refiners, but here it is completely suppressed by ordinary soldiers.
At the south gate, fifteen soldiers were waiting in battle, and two people from the government yamen stood to check the documents of the passers.
"Yang Ming, Sui Guoren, good guy, and Sui Guoyi said?"
"This official, you may not know that the 100,000 mountains separating the southern and northern borders are now broken a little, and people can come and go. "Yang Ming was polite.
"Good guy, when we go on vacation, maybe we can go to the south for a while, but we haven't been there yet. Zhu Kuai smiled, and soon picked up Wei Zhongling's household registration again.
"Zhong Ling...... Why is this name so familiar?"
The other catcher also raised his head and glanced at Wei Zhongling without a trace, "It's okay, maybe it's the same name." ”
"Dare to ask the two of you, ...... the name of my wife?"
"It's nothing, okay, let's go in. He quickly handed back the household registration and smiled and moved out of the way.
"Thank you both. Yang Ming smiled and handed over two pieces of broken silver, and the smiles of the three people became more obvious.
After entering the city gate, Wei Zhongling looked at a steamed bun shop not far from the city gate and was silent, Yang Ming looked at Wei Zhongling and said, "What's the matter?
"No, that's my favorite bun shop. ”
"Then why don't you taste it?"
"The store has changed. ”
Wei Zhongling's voice was cold, as if he didn't care, but Yang Ming was keenly aware of Wei Zhongling's sadness.
Returning again after leaving his hometown for a year and a half, Wei Zhongling's heart must not be as calm as it seems.
"Let's go, then. Yang Ming smiled and tried his best to tell Wei Zhongling not to worry, I was always there.
It has been a long time since he killed the corpse Buddha, and Cao Qingyang has completely gotten rid of the entanglement brought by luck, although he is no longer the happy and cheerful boy he was at the beginning.
In order to prevent Wei Zhongling from inheriting the royal luck that the king of Northern Wei should have, several people could only give up Wei Zhongling's strategy of leading troops to crush the past all the way, and instead turned it into asking Yang Ming and Wei Zhongling to enter Beijing.
After such a long time, Wei Zhongling also found that it seemed that Wei Guo did not suspend its operation because of the lack of herself, but became stronger and stronger, and now she came back, just to change Wei Yuyao's mind, at least let Wei Zhongling return alone.
"Where to go first? There should be some people who still know you when you left, right?" Yang Ming still remembered that Wei Zhongling said that there were still some people in Yecheng who still recognized him as the main person and could still rely on him.
"Go to Dali Temple first, Dali Temple, at least he was still on my side at the beginning...... I don't know if he has become another position now. ”
Yang Ming was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Dali Siqing...... It's been replaced, and the original one is dead. ”
"Is that so? then Fu Guogong, he was also on my side at the beginning......"
"Auxiliary Prince...... was also beheaded......" Yang Ming felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Don't just talk about some high-ranking people, as soon as you left, your nephew may have killed all the high-ranking people who wanted to follow you......"
Wei Zhongling nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "That's a gentleman from Guozijian, and he still wanted to be my guest at the beginning, so Xu Feng seems to be ......."
Xu Feng ...... It's also dead......" Yang Ming flipped through the pamphlet he was reading, and on the back was indeed the names of the dead and replaced officials in the capital that Zhou Hualin had investigated for so long.
"That's okay, you don't have to think about it, I probably figured it out, it is estimated that King Wei has killed all of you......" Yang Ming said and suddenly felt that something was wrong, almost everyone on the street was looking at himself and Wei Zhongling all day.
"You Yecheng, do you have the habit of staring at outsiders?" Yang Ming said softly.
Wei Zhongling shook his head, "I don't have this habit, I think it should be that you accidentally said something." ”
Yang Ming was a little puzzled, grabbed a little brother selling fruit next to him, the little brother shook it like getting rid of a plague patient, and found that he couldn't shake it off at all, so he reluctantly laughed and said: "What are you doing here, guest officer? I'm going home......
"Don't talk nonsense, what are you guys muttering to me?" Yang Ming glared angrily, and there seemed to be anger burning in his eyes.
"I didn't ...... There is no ......" The little brother looked at a group of people staring at himself and this guest, his face became more and more anxious, and he shouted: "Don't, I have nothing to do with this guest officer!"
Yang Ming's eyes gradually calmed down, and Wei Zhongling on the side also felt inexplicable.
Even if it's a lively view, it's too scary, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, an old man suddenly stood up and said, "I'm all scattered! What's the matter?
"Isn't this Old Man Li?"
"Old man Li spoke, let's go, let's go, I'm afraid it won't be able to be sued this time. ”
A group of people pushed and shoved, and after a while, a lot dispersed, and Yang Ming also let go of the little brother who sold fruits, walked up to the old man and hugged his fists.
Unexpectedly, the old man raised his hand and directly pressed Yang Ming's fist, "Don't salute me, I can't stand it, let's go quickly." ”
"Dare to ask the old man, what is going on? Not to mention that our husband and wife have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and there are more than 50 cities, this is the first time we have encountered such a situation. ”
The old man sighed and turned to leave.
"Come with me, the road is not the place to talk. ”
Yang Ming and Wei Zhongling glanced at each other and followed the old man.
The old man took the two of them around, and after a while, they came to a small house, opened the courtyard door and invited the two to go in.
The yard is not big, but it is very clean, there is a stone table and a stone bench in the middle, and the old man has no restraints, so he directly asked two people to sit next to the table and sit down himself.
"This matter has to start with the departure of our eldest princess......" the old man sighed.
Yang Ming's eyes widened, if it weren't for Wei Zhongling's fact that he had done a lot of cover-ups at this time, he would have thought that he had seen through it.
"Eldest Princess...... What about after she leaves?" Wei Zhongling calmed down at this time.
"After the eldest princess left, King Wei ascended the throne, and then a demon girl was presented in the harem......" The old man suddenly looked up as he spoke, patting the table with both hands.
"The demon girl deceived my king, otherwise it would not have been possible to make such a mediocre world! Where is there a country, fathers, sons, brothers, husbands and wives, and neighbors are all watching, and some people say that the king is not good?"
"Just now on the street, everyone heard you talk about King Wei, maybe because of this, they were afraid, so they avoided the two of you. If it is known by the government and the yamen, it is indispensable to impose heavy fines, and there are even those who have been directly killed!"
Wei Zhongling was silent, Yang Ming thought for a while and said, "That...... Nobody cares?"
"What do you do! The advisor who brought King Wei to the throne has passed away, and no one in this world can persuade him, who else can change this situation?" the old man said with a little gloom.
"Forget it, I won't tell you this, since I'm here to play, let's have fun, and don't talk nonsense after I go out. The old man waved his hand as he spoke, "You don't have to worry about me, let's go." ”
"Old gentleman......"
"What's the matter, don't have the money to go out to the guest house?" the old man was a little puzzled, what else was the matter?
"Everything will be fine. Wei Zhongling said firmly.
