Volume 1 Chapter 896 Embarrassment
Luo Chong landed on the ground and rode slowly on the Nightmare Horse towards the Tong Desheng Gate in the north of the capital.
The city wall of the capital is as high as 18 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a six-story building, which does not sound like much, but it is 8,000 meters long on one side and covers an area of nearly 70 square kilometers, which is quite majestic and magnificent.
It was a huge city with a population of nearly one million, about the size of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty of China.
The capitals of the three countries were all very large, and this was a deformed city that the imperial ambition had promoted: the country was small, but within the capital, a million people were directly under my control
That is to say, in this world, the wind and rain are smooth, and there are almost no natural disasters, so as to feed so many people in the city who do not farm or go to the land.
Outsiders entering the city must pay an entrance fee of 10 iron coins. l yuan copper coin), Luo Chong did not get off the horse, and directly flicked a copper coin: no need to look for it
Rich people are like this, and most of the world's realms are this kind of virtue.
The capital is indeed much more prosperous than ordinary cities, but Luo Chong has seen a lot of modern big cities in the earth world, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and New York, all of which are giant cities with a population of tens of millions.
After wandering around for a while, Bubbles said, "My mother replied." ”
"She agreed?" Luo Chong asked in his heart.
The so-called five souls for one magic crystal, this is just a statement, in fact, although this exchange method is very cheap, but Luo Chong still thinks it is troublesome, the key is to listen to the meaning of the super succubus.
Bubbles replied, "She also said that it was too much trouble, and it wasn't worth wasting her energy again and again for the sake of your little soul." But she is definitely willing to help you, and she can only help secretly, and she can't be known by the Demon Lord. ”
"Well, what's her solution?" Luo Chong muttered in his heart, the devil father is really stingy, he doesn't have to pull out a dime himself, and he doesn't let others help me......
"She will introduce a super-large demon shop and give you the status of a special VIP, and in the future, when you shop in that shop, you can enjoy a three-to-five-fold discount on the price of vomiting blood and jumping off the building. ”
Bubbles grinned and said: "I feel that it is more appropriate to deal with it this way, the magic crystal is used to buy things, and spending less money is equal to making more money, and it is the safest to operate secretly through the shop system, and it is not easy to be known by the demon lord." ”
"Okay, you say yes, that's good. ”
Luo Chong rubbed his nose, feeling like a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do bad things secretly all day long, but he didn't dare to let his father know.
"I'm going to take a look at that shop tonight, if the price is right, you can buy a charged teleportation ring or something else, I really haven't seen the super large demon shop yet......"
Luo Chong thought in his heart, and rode slowly on the streets of the capital, originally planning to go directly to the Jingwang Mansion of the Third Prince, but a rather bloody thing happened on the way.
Just now, I felt that I was a gentleman, and I immediately met a gentleman from the capital of the Song Dynasty.
The nightmare horse is tall and majestic with a flaming horsehair and tail, and it is definitely a rare BMW in the eyes of mortals.
I didn't go far before I met a son-in-law, who jumped out under the escort of several bodyguards and thugs, claiming to be the second son of the servant family, shouting that he wanted to buy the nightmare horse.
Forced to buy and sell, not to sell, not to sell, the price shouted is also quite ridiculously cheap.
This kind of goods, Luo Chong didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and a spiritual fear technique was sent over, which directly scared the princeling young master into a pale, fell to the ground, and hummed blindly in his mouth, and he couldn't even scream loudly, and he was wet under his buttocks, and he was scared to pee, so big a bubble.
Fear is just a small trick in the psychic ability system, which can trigger the deepest fear and fear of the recruiter.
This thing varies from person to person, and Luo Chong doesn't know what kind of spiritual illusion this scared kid sees.
Actually, as a spellcaster, I really want to see it, but Luo Chong is afraid that he will be disgusted to himself, so it is better to be out of sight.
The servant of the Ministry is indeed a member of the prince's line, politically hostile to the third prince and Mu Zuoxiang, this second prince is also evil in the capital, notorious, even if he is scared and hangs up directly, he is not wronged. Of course, Luo Chong didn't care too much about this matter, and only regarded him as a small episode.
However, this behavior was still noticed by some people with intentions, and from this moment on, several people secretly targeted Luo Chong.
"Ouchi Agent?"
The few people who were secretly watching him would definitely not be able to hide Luo Chong, and it was estimated that it should be a spy agency directly under the emperor, dressed in civilian clothes, and would walk around the capital on weekdays.
So, Luo Chong slightly increased the horse's speed, and with one or two small tricks of his spiritual ability, he also threw off the tail behind him.
But half an hour later, the secret report about Luo Chong still reached the ears of the great eunuch Wang Tinghao.
"The mane tail is like fire, the black BMW with an abnormal horse, the horse rider is quite young, with short hair, suspected of being Luo Chong of Dengzhou City?"
The great eunuch Wang Tinghao was in charge of the royal intelligence agency, and in the Song Dynasty he was called the 'Jinwu Neiwei', and was mainly responsible for gathering intelligence in the capital, inspecting the people, and monitoring the courtiers.
The name Luo Chong has long attracted the attention of the great eunuch Wang Tinghao, because of the merit of annihilating the light cavalry of the two thousand Xia Dynasty last time, so Wang Tinghao has learned a lot about Luo Chong's various information, and his appearance and characteristics are basically clear, and even the authenticity of Luo Chong's personal portrait is not much worse than the photo
"If it's him, this guy is bold enough. ”
Wang Tinghao squinted his eyes, tapped the index finger of his left hand wearing a green jade ring on the table, and said in a low voice: "Without the summons of His Majesty and the permission of the imperial court, he dared to enter Beijing without permission......?"
"Yes. ”
One of his henchmen bowed down and said, "Although he is alone, he is riding that unusually piercing black horse, and his short hair is even more distinctive. It seems that there is no intention to disguise the identity at all. ”
"What about people, lost with me?"
Wang Tinghao asked lightly, this insipidity may be suppressed before the anger erupted.
"No, please put your anger to rest for the time being. ”
His henchmen knew his temper very well, and hurriedly explained: "This person is extremely vigilant and has quite a lot of means, and the following minions are only temporarily lost, but in this capital, a person with such obvious characteristics, we can grasp his whereabouts at any time, I estimate, we will be able to get the latest news about him soon." ”
"Hmmm......"
Wang Tinghao's face was gloomy, which meant that his anger had decreased slightly: "His every move must be investigated clearly." ”
The henchmen bowed and retreated.
At the same time, Luo Chong had already entered King Jing's Mansion and came to the front of the three princes.
In order to show their value and trust in him, the third prince invited Luo Chong into a secret room in the inner courtyard alone, with only the chief staff Mr. Nan as his company, and there was no need for a guard by his side.
However, after Zhilu Dao Luo Chong came to King Jing's Mansion without concealment, the third prince was still a little worried, and asked in a low voice: "Without the permission of your father, is it not appropriate for you to enter Beijing without permission."
"It's fine. ”
Luo Chong's tone was calm, but the words he said were so arrogant: "I can come if I want, I can leave if I want, no one cares, you are not worried." ”
The third prince smiled awkwardly, secretly unhappy in his heart.
This is a clear contempt for imperial power, which means that whoever is the emperor is nothing in his eyes.
As the king of a country, how can such a person be allowed to exist?
Fortunately, the third prince is not the emperor yet, and this kind of unhappiness can be endured for the time being.
Luo Chong seemed to be smiling, and looked at him with a playful look: "Are you unhappy? Do you think that I am a wolf with ambition and arrogance, and I can't raise it at all?"
"Uh......"
The third prince didn't expect him to ask so directly, a trace of annoyance and embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he still shook his head and smiled: "No, how can it be, this is your character." ”
The smile was obviously forced.
"Actually, the problem is not with me, but with you. ”
Luo Chong still said to him in the gentlest and most natural tone: "I treat you as a friend, so I can speak so directly, and you always treat me with the emperor's heart, always want to take me as a subordinate and serve you, if you can't suppress me, there are suspicions and worries in your heart." At this moment, your courtesies and politeness are just pretending to be made. ”
"Brother Luo, you are ......"
The third prince looked stunned, as if his heart had been exposed, and he suddenly felt a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to respond.
Mr. Nan, the chief staff member sitting on the side, rolled his eyes and wanted to say something to ease up, but was stopped by Luo Chongyi with a raised hand.
Luo Chong said: "If you treat each other with an equal heart, you should have something to say, and there is no need to hide and engage in those hypocritical words." But you were born in the family of the emperor, and there is intrigue between your brothers all day long, where are your friends? So, I can understand and I can forgive you. ”
"Brother Luo, there are some things that are easier said than done. ”
The third prince looked hesitant, and then sighed and said, "Since you have said this, there is no need for me to hide my mentality." Yes, I need your help, I crave your help, but I am afraid and even afraid of your might...... Five hundred iron cavalry can defeat the Zhenxi army of 50,000 people, if it is five thousand iron cavalry, who can stop you in this world, even if I sit on the throne, there will be a kind of precarious worries and concerns...... I know that this is not right, but these thoughts are still difficult to suppress and cannot be overcome
Mr. Nan gave him a look, meaning: Your Highness, you shouldn't say this, even if both sides know some words in their hearts, they shouldn't pierce it naked, naked, naked. Once it is punctured and the talk collapses, how can it be recovered
Unexpectedly, Luo Chong nodded with a smile: "That's right, if you have any scruples about me, you can say it face-to-face, it's much better than being secretly vigilant and calculating behind your back." ”
