Kyoto!

At the feet of the Son of Heaven!

Winter in Kyoto is cold, but it doesn't snow!

The cold weather did not affect the enthusiasm of the people on the streets. Kyoto's stone streets are particularly wide, there are no small vendors, and inns, teahouses, and taverns are all very high-end. The people who walked in the streets came to the side, dressed in new clothes, and lived in prosperity and comfort.

The people of Rui are rich in food and clothing, and the people living in Kyoto are even richer!

"Drive, drive, drive, give way, give way!" I saw an armored guard riding a tired horse that had been running for many days, and shouted loudly!

Suddenly, the horse collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and could no longer stand up, and the armored guard jumped to his feet and walked briskly again.

......

"Lord Duhu, the front line is urgent!" came to the Duhu Mansion with the armored guards, and just happened to see Yuan Hai going out.

"What's going on?" Yang Shaowei was in such a hurry!" said Yuan Hai.

"Lord Duhu, please see!" Yang Shaowei handed over a letter.

Yuan Hai took it and opened it, and after a while, his brows furrowed, and he put the letter back in the sealed bag and put it in his arms.

"You've worked hard, go and rest first, I'll enter the capital and face the saint!" Yuan Hai jumped on his horse and went straight to the palace in Kyoto, and his entourage also ran over.

Rui Di was reading in the imperial study at this time, he loved poetry, was proficient in the art of war, and was a generation of Ming Jun!

"Your Majesty, Kyoto Guardian Yuan Hai asked to see him, saying that there was an urgent military situation. Li Gonggong reported.

"Let him in!" Retty put down the book.

Gonggong Li took Yuan Hai and slowly walked into the imperial study, and then retreated to the side to stand.

"Minister Yuan Hai knocked on Your Majesty, the war in the east is tight, the Dongyi Peacock Gang joined the battle, the poisonous bees used are extremely poisonous, and our Rui army has suffered heavy casualties!"

"Peacock Gang? I heard that the leader of the Peacock Gang is a woman, but she is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, many heroes and heroes have fallen under her pomegranate skirt, my Rui Kingdom and Dongyi Kingdom have been at war for many years, and have repeatedly gained the upper hand, it is not surprising that Peacock helps Dongyi Kingdom! This poisonous bee can be restrained?"

"The general of the Eastern Expedition said in his letter that he was looking for a way to repel bees, and at present he could only use fire to resist it, but the poisoned soldiers urgently needed an antidote, and I hope that His Majesty can send someone to help. ”

"Where are the poisonous bees?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's still on the way to send it!" Yuan Haiguan served as the guard of Kyoto, and the officials, soldiers, and even ordinary people who entered and exited Kyoto could not escape his sight, and Emperor Rui authorized him to face the saint at any time.

Although the four seas are leveled in the country, the southeast and northwest are all eyeing each other, there is Dongyi country in the east, the national strength is strong, and it often provokes at the border, and the peacock gang of Dongyi country is also huge, and the gang leader has a very good relationship with the monarch.

There is the Southern Barbarian State in the south, although the national strength of this country is average, the whole country is full of martial arts, and the soldiers are all first-class good hands, the Giant Elephant Gang of the Southern Barbarian Country is the first big gang in the Southern Barbarians, and often secretly helps the Nanban army to inquire about information.

There is the Western Regions in the west, the people in the Western Regions have strange martial arts, they are good at using drugs, and the lords of the Western Regions are good at using stratagems, and there are many spies hidden in the Rui Kingdom. The Camel Gate of the Western Regions has always wanted to dominate the Central Plains Martial Arts, and even had dealings with the Prince of Rui, and Emperor Rui also knew about it, but he didn't say it.

There is a northern wilderness country in the north, this country is desolate, the people are poor and the army is lacking, and the monarch is also weak and incompetent, which is not enough to trouble, but the northern wilderness mountain field faction often harasses the border, seizing money, food and women, and the emperor is angry, and sends heavy troops to suppress it, and the mountain and field faction has converged a lot over the years.

In fact, the four countries all wanted to occupy the fertile land of the Central Plains, but they were afraid of the strength of the Rui Kingdom and did not dare to raise troops easily.

"After the bee venom is delivered, give it to the people of the Imperial Palace, and I will see the antidote within ten days. Rhett continued to read. He was dressed loosely, his hair was lightly tied, his eyes were wise, and his face was serious, he wore it like this when he was not in court, and there was a charcoal fire burning in the imperial study, and there was also a wind, warm, and a trace of cool breeze.

"Obey the order!"

"You help me pick up someone, he should be here today!"

"Who does Your Majesty want your ministers to pick up?"

"Taifu said that his name is Guo Xiaodao! I haven't seen him either, so you can arrange for him to live in your house! Remember, you can give him whatever he wants! You have to take care of him. ”

"The minister understands!"

"Don't let him know that I asked you to pick him up, go down!"

"Retire!"

Although Yuan Hai had never seen Guo Xiaodao's person, he had already heard of this name, and as soon as he left the imperial palace, he ordered his entourage to go to the four gates of Kyoto, southeast, northwest and north to keep an eye on.

It didn't take long for news to come from the West Gate, saying that Guo Xiaodao had entered the city with a girl, and Yuan Hai had already called for someone to prepare the carriage at this time and went all the way to the West Gate to greet him.

"My lord, the young man leading the horse in front of me is Guo Xiaodao. The knife Fufu was afraid that the horse would hurt the passers-by, so he led the horse into the city.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure! We posted the three big characters Guo Xiaodao on the city gate, and the others didn't even look at it, and their eyes were obviously different when they saw these three words. ”

Yuan Hai strode towards Xiaodao, and his entourage also followed closely, and suddenly a person who looked like a big official walked towards him, and Xiaodao was stunned for a moment.

"May I ask if Your Excellency is Guo Xiaodao?" asked Yuan Hai.

"Who are you?" Do we know each other?" Xiao Dao naturally didn't know who Yuan Hai was.

"I ...... I was entrusted to pick you up, I am the guardian of Kyoto Yuan Hai, please get into the carriage!"

"Well, you don't look like a bad person, Sister Fufu, let's take the carriage!" Knife pulled Fufu into the carriage.

"Drive!

The mansion of Kyoto Guardian!

There were four guards standing in front of the door, and there was a Xia steward in the house, who was already waiting at the door.

"Guo Shaoxia, and this girl, this is my house, please go in and rest, if you need anything, just tell Steward Xia, I still have something to deal with, and I'll talk to you when I come back tonight!"

"Yuan Duhu is polite, this is my sister Fufu, you have something to do, you are busy first. ”

"Steward Xia, entertain your guests well!" Yuan Hai commanded and rode towards the Imperial Courtyard.

Taigoin is a place in Kyoto that specializes in the study of poison antidotes, and there is a big gap between the level of poison used in the country and the Western Regions.

Song Daocheng, the president of the Imperial Academy, is also a skill, he can not only heal people's internal injuries, but also treat people's external pain, if he wants to poison you, you will take precautions, and in the end it will only be impossible to prevent it. Detoxification is not so difficult for him, the poison he developed is okay, and the poison of the Western Regions has always been his shortcoming.

"Song Daocheng is not there?" Yuan Hai came to the Imperial Court and asked directly.

"Dean Song is resting, he said that no one should disturb him sleeping, otherwise they will all be poisoned, Lord Yuan, why don't you wait?" said the guard in front of the gate of the Imperial Courtyard.

"What did you say?" Yuan Hai glared, and the guard trembled in fright.

"Lord Yuan, please, please!"

"Hmph!" Yuan Hai flicked his sleeves and strode in.
