Dayan Dynasty, Yanjing.

It had been raining for three days, and from afar, the mountains were covered with a thin veil of black, looming in the clouds.

Yanjing is very large, covering an area comparable to hundreds of sea-viewing cities.

It is the largest and most prosperous city in the entire Dayan region.

Inside Yanjing, it is divided into the outer city and the inner city.

The outer city was where the common people lived, while the inner city was used for civil and military officials, as well as many side dishes of the royal family.

Dayan has a decree that all those who are officials in Kyoto, with a grade of five or more, must be placed in the inner city of Kyoto.

This makes officials often have to be careful in their work.

Because, once you make an unforgivable mistake, not only will your head fall to the ground, but even your family will be unlucky together.

Of course, the benefits of living in Kyoto outweigh the disadvantages.

From time to time, the imperial court will comfort the family members and issue living allowances.

At the same time, in the inner city, they are all rich or expensive, belonging to the top circle of the entire Dayan, and it is the best choice to expand high-quality contacts.

Many people want to live in it with their heads sharpened, but they don't qualify.

Compared with all kinds of benefits, no one cares about the disadvantages of being a little hostage.

In the middle of the inner city is the imperial city.

The Imperial City covers a small area, but it is not small.

It is in the shape of a "mouth".

It is square and square, implying many meanings, giving people the inherent impression of dignified and dignified.

In the midst of the heavy rain, a spatial crack suddenly appeared above the head of the imperial city.

Seeing this, the non-commissioned officer of the forbidden army holding a halberd changed slightly, and quickly gathered around, looking extremely nervous.

But when they saw who it was, a trace of frenzy suddenly appeared on their faces, and they fell to the ground in an instant.

shouted in unison: "Welcome Concubine Zhao back to Beijing!"

The people who came were Zhao Keqing and Ning Nan and others!

When everyone stood on the top of the city, a non-commissioned officer of the forbidden army had already brought a dark oil-paper umbrella to open it for everyone to shield from the wind and rain.

"Where is the shift?"

Zhao Keqing asked casually.

"Hui Niangniang, I have just informed General Shi with a transmission note that he is on his way!"

A non-commissioned officer replied in a deep voice.

"Good. ”

Zhao Keqing nodded, walked out of the city, and went to the general's mansion.

The so-called general's mansion is the place where the rotating guards temporarily handle military affairs, just under the walls of the imperial city.

Zhao Keqing and Ning Nan and his party waited for a long time, and a fat man in iron armor trotted in with a helmet, regardless of the image.

As soon as he saw Zhao Keqing, his face was immediately full of flattering smiles: "Niangniang, it's too late to be humble, I failed to welcome Niangniang, and I hope that Niangniang will atone for my sins!"

Zhao Keqing frowned: "An Wanlu, why are you?"

The big fat man wiped the sweat that fell from his forehead, and said embarrassedly: "A few days ago, I accidentally slept with Ye Shangshu's youngest daughter, and he participated in a book, and His Majesty took away his humble official position and punished him to defend the city......."

"You're not a little bold. ”

Zhao Keqing's face was expressionless: "Since it is His Majesty's master, there must be his reason, so you can defend this city and reflect on it." ”

An Wanlu nodded again and again, his small eyes rolling around the bones.

"In the days when the palace left the imperial city, has anything big happened?" Zhao Keqing changed his words and asked lightly.

Hearing this, An Wanlu looked at Ning Nan and the others, and hesitated.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that they are not outsiders. Zhao Keqing saw something and said casually.

"This ......"

An Wanlu smiled flatteringly: "Niangniang misunderstood, the main thing is that it is not a big deal, so I don't know what to say for a while, after all, we can't just open our mouths, right?"

"Huh?"

Zhao Keqing squinted slightly and looked at An Wanlu.

An Wanlu didn't look directly at her, deliberately lowered his head a few points, and smiled flatteringly, looking at it from his face alone, he was quite servile and flattering.

But Zhao Keqing was not deceived by the appearance he deliberately made.

Shaking his head, Zhao Keqing's beautiful eyes showed a little sigh, and she stood up: "Since you don't want to say it, then forget it, this country is Your Majesty's country after all, and I am a woman, so I still have to pay attention to these." ”

Zhao Keqing's words made An Wanlu's face change slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Niangniang's words are serious, if my Dayan Imperial Family does not have Niangniang's support, I don't have to wait for Yunfu Sect to attack, I will already be scattered." ”

"Niangniang said these words, it is really humiliating!"

Zhao Keqing glanced at An Wanlu deeply and didn't say anything.

She just looked at Ning Nan and the others, and said, "Let's go to the palace, settle the matter as soon as possible, and you can leave." ”

Ning Nan and his party nodded.

Zhao Keqing took them all the way away.

"Niangniang go slowly! where the duty lies, I can't leave here, guard Niangniang's side, and please don't blame Niangniang!"

An Wanlu shouted loudly, it's over, don't forget to arrange more than ten guards to keep up with Zhao Keqing and others.

Zhao Keqing was not too interested in this, and even did not respond to An Wanlu.

Disappeared into the rain.

Will be at the entrance of the house.

The round An Wanlu glanced up at the gray sky.

After a long time, he sighed and turned his head away.

"I hope that one day, Niangniang can understand my An Wanlu's choice......."

"Dayan, it's going to get to that point after all......."

On the road.

Ning Nan pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help but look at Zhao Keqing and asked, "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, who is An Wanlu, why does he dare to be so disrespectful to you Imperial Concubine Niangniang?"

"An Wanlu?"

Zhao Keqing said lightly: "He, about seventy percent evildoers, thirty percent loyal dogs." ”

"Huh?"

Not only Ning Nan, but also Gu Xi'er, Yin Lingxue and others also looked at Zhao Keqing.

After all, Zhao Keqing's evaluation of An Wanlu was too sharp.

"This person, if you use it well, is a sharp knife, but if you don't use it well, you will become a vicious dog with a bite anytime and anywhere. ”

Zhao Keqing thought of something and shook his head: "It's a pity that Kyoto needs a wicked person like him now, and only he can deter some people." ”

"This ......"

When Yin Lingxue heard this, she frowned: "But, Imperial Concubine Niangniang, he is a guy who even the daughter of Shangshu dares to touch, I'm afraid what he thinks in his head is not normal at all, right?"

Zhao Keqing shook his head: "At first, I thought I could use him, but then I didn't like him very much, but Your Majesty, I have to insist on using him......"

"Huh?"

The crowd wondered again.

And Ning Nan squinted slightly.

He had always believed that under the oppression of the Yunfu Sect, most of the people of the Great Yan Imperial Family had become inactive.

Especially the majesty of Dayan, who is even more mediocre.

Otherwise, why is it not him who is called the last pillar of Dayan, but his woman?

But at this moment, listening to what Zhao Keqing said, Ning Nan felt that His Majesty should be a little uneasy.

It's just that the specifics are not simple, but he can't say.

It's just a gut feeling.
