Finally, after nearly half a month of trekking, Ye Li and Bian Yingying finally arrived in Tang Jingcheng.

This city where the emperor of the Tang Dynasty lived was indeed extremely magnificent and magnificent.

The thickness of the city's walls was thicker than that of Jinzhou City, and its scale was far greater than that of all the big cities Ye Li had ever seen, including the Imperial City and the City of Bliss.

The walls are more than 80 meters high, like a mountain, and they look extremely majestic.

"Ye Li, this is Tang Jingcheng, how is it, isn't it very spectacular!?"

Along the way, Bian Yingying and Ye Li also got acquainted, and the names between the two were also changed.

Bian Yingying now directly calls Ye Li's name, and Ye Li also calls Bian Yingying Uncle Bian.

"It's really magnificent, I've never seen such a magnificent city!"

Ye Li said with great emotion.

In the Tang capital, except for the transmission of official documents, or the horses of the royal family can run freely, the rest of the horses and carriages are not allowed to enter, so the two can only get off the carriage at the city gate and then enter the city on foot.

A boy in a brocade robe next to him, after hearing Ye Li's admiration, turned his head to glance at him, and muttered "soil buns" in a low voice.

Ye Li heard the ridicule of the person next to him, but he didn't move, just squinted at the other party.

This boy looks quite distinctive, with a convex forehead and a nose, which looks a little ugly no matter how you look at it.

"Humph!"

Seeing Ye Li looking at him, Brother Gongzi suddenly snorted disdainfully, turned his head, and accelerated in the other direction.

Ye Li stretched out his hand and touched his nose gently, and said to himself, "I look like I have never seen the world?"

Bian Yingying had just heard Brother Gongzi's ridicule of Ye Li, and he could only smile helplessly: "Ye Li, Tang Jingcheng is full of powerful mansions, and there is a random official who has a higher position than me.

The boy just now, I don't know which young master it is, his eyes are a little arrogant, but it's normal.

Not to mention you, who have lived in seclusion all year round, even I, a court official from other places, they also look down on you.

In the eyes of these sons, the merchants in Tangjing City are much more noble than us 'countrymen' from other places. ”

"Yo, don't we think it's wrong to do so, aren't you an old hat from the frontier just a lowly foreigner?"

While Bian Yingying and Ye Li were talking, a sturdy middle-aged man walked over from the side and looked at Bian Yingying with a mocking expression.

The moment Bian Yingying saw the other party, his eyes were fixed, and he seemed to recognize the identity of the other party.

"Who am I, it turned out to be Yue Longxiang, you.

Even if I am from the frontier, I am also an important minister of the frontier and an official of the imperial court, the same as your father.

You, the son of the Yue family, are just ordinary people with civilian status, what qualifications do you have to look down on me?"

After Bian Yingying recognized the other party, he showed a sarcastic look on his face, and he ridiculed each other.

When the other party heard the words "son of the concubine" deliberately accentuated by Bian Yingying, his face immediately showed an angry look.

"Hero Bian, don't be too complacent, you guarded the frontier before, and you can be regarded as far away from the center of the vortex, and you can avoid a lot of disasters.

Now that I've heard you're going to be promoted back, you're going to be caught up in the vortex, and I'm going to see what you can do. ”

After Yue Longxiang finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Bian Yingying to speak, and he still had a mockery on his face when he left.

Watching the other party leave, Bian Yingying's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a worried look in his eyes.

"Uncle Bian, what's wrong with you, who is this guy?"

Ye Li asked.

Bian Yingying took a deep breath, slowly spit it out again, and said, "This guy's name is Yue Longxiang, and my father Yue Leichi is from the military department, and he and I have known each other for a long time.

After Yue Leichi defected to the eldest prince, his official position was rising faster and faster, and it is said that he is expected to be promoted to the position of leading the second army in the town by the end of this year.

The Zhenzhong Army is a unit directly under His Majesty the Emperor, and those who can hold official positions in it can be regarded as people trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and they have the hope of becoming high-level soldiers in the future.

This Yue Longxiang, before his father defected to the eldest prince and made his fortune, he had always suppressed his identity and called me Uncle Bian, but he didn't expect to meet now, but he was sneering, and it was really hateful. ”

Ye Li didn't know much about the official positions here, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of these official positions, but he could understand the unhappiness in Bian Yingying's heart.

He looked at Bian Yingying and smiled, and said, "Uncle Bian, I think it's a disgusting thing to have this kind of guy call you uncle."

Fortunately, he won't call you Uncle Bian now, otherwise I will immediately call you by another name, so as not to be reduced to that kind of goods. ”

Listening to Ye Li's ridicule, the unhappiness in Bian Yingying's heart dissipated most of it, and said: "Well, you're right, now think about it, if he opens his mouth to call me uncle again, it will be really disgusting."

Okay, Ye Li, let's not delay, let's hurry up and go to the palace in the inner city to report.

This is a place of right and wrong, if the people of the eldest prince find out that we have not entered the palace to report for a long time after arriving in Tangjing City, maybe they will find an excuse to join us, and it should make me feel disgusting again. ”

After Bian Yingying finished speaking, he took the first step and walked towards the center of the city with Ye Li.

Ye Li followed Bian Yingying towards the palace, while constantly looking around, the streets here looked very wide and neat, and the squares built everywhere were very easy to distinguish.

The wide streets are lined with magnificent shops and crowded with pedestrians.

Bian Yingying took Ye Li all the way through the avenue in the middle of the city, and soon came to the gate of the inner city, where the entire inner city belonged to the scope of the palace.

Bian Yingying took out an edict on his body and handed it to the guards guarding the palace gate.

After the other party checked the edict, he looked at the two of them again, and then let the two enter the palace.

Bian Yingying said: "Ye Li, my name is only on my edict, you were not qualified to enter the palace, but I just told the guards that you are my doorman guard, so you can follow me into the inner city, but you don't have the right to enter the palace, you can only wait outside the palace."

I will first enter the palace to apply for a face, according to the general situation, it is impossible for His Majesty to summon us immediately, so I just went through the motions to report that I have come, and when I will meet His Majesty, then I will have to wait for another notice.

Wait a while, you wait for me outside the palace first, and I'll come out after I go in, and then we can go to the harem to meet the second prince and ask him to accept you as a guest.

I have the token he gave me, and I can go directly to his residence. ”
