Shangguan Yi really hasn't been to the capital, although he has been to the ghost capital, that is, he has been to the capital a few times, but the distance from that place is still very far, and the gap in various aspects is also very large. This gap refers to the difference in culture, atmosphere, etc., that is, the soul of the city is different.

Lidu is a fire, but when Shangguan Yi saw it for the first time, what he felt was not its own heat, but a warm atmosphere. It was noon when he and the Liao family caravan arrived outside the capital, and the procession into the city was very long, and the noise was also very loud, all of them were discussing various hot news and gossip recently, and it didn't matter if they knew each other or not.

This is a scene that cannot be seen in any other big city, because it is necessary to maintain silence, and the soldiers have to carefully examine all kinds of documents and goods, so all you can see is the quiet queue waiting to enter. But the distance is different, this is a holy place for people in the martial arts, and it is a fairly free city. Although it is still under the management of the imperial court, this imperial court ...... Zhongzhen's own power has gradually weakened, and his ability to control various things has actually decreased a lot, not to mention a more sensitive place like Lidu. It can be said very unceremoniously that in the three mega-scale cities of Lidu, Fengdu, and Chang'an, they really belong to Zhongzhen, and only Chang'an City can be controlled by Zhongzhen, even when Zhongzhen was at its peak, he only grasped seventy percent of the other two places, and he could decide most things, and he still had to consider the views of the people in the rivers and lakes in fundamental matters, not to mention that he was weak now, and the affairs of the frontier alone were enough for them to be anxious。

In the final analysis, it is still a sentence: chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and a large number of masters are gathered together is actually like the current nuclear threat, they themselves are almost invincible, plus appeal, it is easy to revolt and rebel, manpower, material and financial resources can be provided, and it is difficult to deal with it, this is also something that Zhongzhen is afraid of, they dare not force these people urgently, but they want to collapse one by one, and they have not done it when they have this ability, not to mention the situation that they are about to protect now.

So this makes the right to speak in the capital actually five or five, or even four or six, three or seven, and the people in the rivers and lakes have an advantage, but they should give the face of the court, these people will give a lot of money, what taxes, policies, if it's not too much, you can do whatever you want, we don't care, and we don't intervene, but don't ruin what we want to do.

This consensus is the final agreement reached by the government power and the strength of the rivers and lakes in the capital, and it is precisely this consensus that the capital can be so free, pay the entrance fee to the city, and only confirm that it is not a dangerous element can enter the city directly, and there are not so many rules and requirements.

So even if the line is very long, Shangguan Yi and they will come to the front after a while, looking at the ancient towering city wall, Shangguan Yi has a deep understanding of the ancient and powerful Lidu, there are some marks left by the predecessors of the competition, of course, Shangguan Yi is not so nb, can understand what true meaning or martial arts from it, he just saw the past time according to the traces of the wind and rain, and suddenly understood why Lidu is a martial arts holy land, because here has experienced all kinds of things of those legendary predecessors, they live here, break through, take root, create proud deeds here, attract the arrival of future generations, and accumulate over time, there is now a grand occasion. This bustling crowd is all about participating in this grand event, this social, large-scale event.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, Brother Li, don't be in a daze, it's coming to us soon!" Liao Hua shouted Shangguan Yi in front, interrupting his thoughts.

Shangguan Yi scratched his head, drove his horse to follow him, and came to Lidu after paying the entrance fee.

"Brother Li, do you have any arrangements in Li? If you don't have a place to stay, you can go to the Liao family's territory with us first, and we will treat you well as thank you for taking care of you along the way. Liao Hua walked a while with the caravan, came to the corner so as not to delay the others to enter the city, and then got out of the car and ran to Shangguan Yi and asked, his expression was full of sincerity.

Liao Hua knew that this way was thanks to Shangguan Yi's care, otherwise it would be difficult for them to get here smoothly without sufficient preparation, and they should thank them.

Liao Xun, the young lady of the Liao family, also agreed, although she was squeamish and naïve, she also knew who was covering them along the way, whether Shangguan Yi was in the team, the gap was quite large, basically the difference between being domineering and being submissive, so I must thank Shangguan Yi.

"No, let's separate here, I want to buy a house to live in first, and then I have to deal with a bunch of for a long time, I guess it will be very busy, so I won't go to you." Shangguan Yiyun's indifferent but inhumane speech obviously shocked the brothers and sisters of the Liao family, after all, where is this......? That's an astronomical amount of money.

"Brother Li, this matter has to be carefully considered, even if you have money, it is not this flower, not to mention that the land is expensive, if you settle here, it is fine, if you live for a period of time and leave, it will be a waste, and the taxes that have been paid are indispensable, otherwise the house may be seized, and after a long time, it may even be taken back, and the silver will be wasted." If it's for the sake of leaving the capital, you don't have to buy a house, just rent one. Liao Hua sincerely persuaded him, if it is a few thousand taels of silver, it is equivalent to a neighing wind, although I don't understand the origin of Shangguan Yi, but these are probably bearable, but tens of thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount for anyone, not to mention the investment in the back, he is also for Shangguan Yi's good.

"I know all this, I have friends in Lidu, I can leave it to him to take care of it in the future, and if you are in the mood, you can come here to live for a while, which is good. Shangguan Yi smiled and explained the reason to Liao Hua.

"Then when you're done, send someone to tell us, and we'll pay a visit. Liao Hua couldn't persuade him, and the other party might have his own plans, so he just gave up.

"Definitely, definitely. Shangguan Yi agreed repeatedly, and then took the first step and went to the government to find someone to buy a house. Of course, he knew that Liao Hua was a drunkard, and the visit was secondary, and he mainly wanted to pay him back, but since people had a heart, Shangguan Yi couldn't stop him, so he could only let him go.

After that, Shangguan Yi drove the carriage to the depths of Lidu alone.

The scale of the capital is not smaller than Chang'an, and even surpasses, after all, it used to be Kyoto, after many expansions, coupled with its special status in the rivers and lakes, it is naturally impossible to be cold.

The whole city is divided into five districts: east, west, north and south and Zhongcheng District, although each city is very prosperous, but there are some subtle differences, Xicheng District is the place where the ancient big family is located, where the family is entrenched, although it only occupies a small space, but their status is very high, they are the rule-makers, like the Mo family in Xicheng District. The north and south districts are trade districts, with a myriad of shops and workshops with a slightly different focus. Dongcheng District is a place to play and enjoy fun, and the Wubi location from the capital is also located here. As for Zhongcheng District, this is the place where the government has the strongest jurisdiction, and it is also the area where the government does its business.

No one can say why it is so divided, but it was stipulated a long time ago, so it came according to this.

As mentioned earlier, Lidu is a free city, so although the main functions of the urban districts of Lidu are mentioned, they are only the main functions, such a big city, every urban area has empty houses, there are places to buy and sell things and have fun, and there are also families, no one restricts you from saying: Ah, what is this place, what can you not do. Of course, if what you do is really wrong, or if you touch any unspoken rules, someone will deal with it, after all, there are conflicts of interest, grievances and entanglements, everywhere, and if you accidentally get involved in it, you will die in vain.

Now Shangguanyi's destination is Zhongcheng District, after all, the title deed or anything is in the hands of the government, and it is natural to find the government to buy a house.

After Shangguan Yi arrived, he first proved to the relevant personnel of the government that he had the qualifications to buy (enough silver), and then said his needs, but because the demand was relatively high, after proving that he was indeed qualified again, the other party sent a commissioner to accompany him to see the house. After all, the people in the government are also very busy, it is impossible for you to say that you want to buy a house and show you, you have to prove that you can afford it first, and then there will be follow-up, what installment payment, credit, it does not exist.

Accompanied by professionals, Shangguan Yi finally found his favorite house after several twists and turns, and then went back with him to go through the relevant procedures, got the title deed and key, and the purchase was successful.

Of course, there are actually a lot of related procedures, and they are also very troublesome, but if you have money, you can make a little money to avoid trouble, so why not?

The house in Shangguan Yi's selection is actually not very big, but it is not small, there is only one entry, but the size is enough to compare with the general four-entry house, the main house, bedrooms, study rooms, kitchens, guest rooms, etc., and there are even stables, the yard is also very large, and some trees are planted, but no one has taken care of it for a long time, and it looks a little too free.

This mansion is actually no different from other mansions just by looking at these, but the reason why Shangguan Yi made up his mind to buy it is its various layouts and geographical location. The yard is arranged very elegantly but without losing the atmosphere, and the various furniture in the house is also antique, precious wood products, not that kind of flamboyant style, nor the style of the nouveau riche, there is no kind of golden shining thing, just the right amount of restraint, which is very in line with the appetite of Guanyi. Another is the geographical location, this house is almost in the southwest, in the intersection of the three urban areas, no matter which side it is, it is very convenient, which is very helpful for Shangguan Yi to carry out the next plan.

So he happily paid for the house, parked the carriage in the courtyard after completing the formalities, and put the contents of the carriage in different rooms. Some were his own belongings, some were materials to be used, some were goods or mattresses prepared in advance, and of course, he also cleaned the main house so that he could live in it tonight.

After these things were done, Shangguan Yi locked the door, went out to eat, and went to buy various things by the way. After all, the house is there, but the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and so on are all empty, if he wants to live here, he can't go outside every day to find a place to eat...... Well, it's not impossible, as a foodie, I naturally want to eat all kinds of food, but only by cooking by myself can I have fireworks and feel at home.

Shangguan Yi went directly to Xicheng District this time, did not look for a tall restaurant, but found a tavern with a large number of people, found a seat and sat down and began to order, by the way, eavesdropping on what these people were talking about, to see if there was any information that could be used.

Yes, he has already started, started to gather intelligence.

There is a lot of information to be collected, such as what is going on in Lidu at the moment, which people have arrived, which people are still on the way, what is the strength of these people's hearts, whether they are very threatening or their acquaintances, whether those people in the Demon Dao have shown their heads, etc., but it is still unrealistic to rely on these ordinary people to collect intelligence, so he just listens to it casually, and will find a professional intelligence sales location tomorrow to buy some information.

As for why he didn't go to Qingge, of course, the purpose was not to hide that he came to Lidu, or not just to hide it, but also to have other purposes.

Shang Guan Yi still knows about Mo Qianliu's troubles in the Mo family, but whether it has been solved or not, and what the current situation is, Shangguan Yi does not know, so he wants to find out what the situation is before making plans. After all, this is Lidu, Shangguan Yi hasn't reached out here yet, and even if he stretches, he won't be able to know everything as quickly as the head snake, after all, the accumulation of contacts takes time. Although Qingge has this ability, there is always something wrong with Mo Qianliu's style of writing letters to himself before, and the handwriting is also a little sloppy, although the overall meaning is not a problem, but it makes Shangguan Yi feel a little weird. So he put a question mark on whether Qingge's people here are reliable and whether the news will be revealed, so it's better to wait and see for the sake of insurance.

If Mo Qianliu encounters danger, Shangguan Yi, who is not exposed, may be a strange card, which can provide some help, no matter how bad it is, he can pull Fu Changan to make trouble with the Mo family and take Mo Qianliu away, so that his friends will not be persecuted and powerless. After all, he had promised that he would come to her wherever he knew she was in danger, and now might be the time to make good on his promise.

Shangguan Yi was eating, suddenly stopped his chopsticks, then sped up to finish eating, walked out of the tavern after checking out, watched the last ray of sunlight in the sky just disappear, clenched his fists, and was a little sad but excited between his eyebrows.

The Mo family, the undisputed first-class family, although there is a lot of uproar now because of the inheritance issue, but with a fourfold heavenly powerhouse in charge, its status cannot be shaken.

I hope you don't get too confused, it's a lot of pressure to be with you, but you won't back down.

Shangguan Yi said a silent sentence in his heart, and then turned around and went shopping, the night market.
