Chapter 83: Bianjing
Fifteen days later, the south gate of Bianjing.
A dusty young man, looking up at the tall city gate, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
The young man was Li Zhongxuan, who came all the way from Jinling, and he really suffered a lot of hardships along the way.
Although he traveled very fast, he only knew the general direction of Bianjing, which made him take a lot of unjust roads. After traveling for one or two thousand miles, I finally came to Bianjing!
Along the way, Li Zhongxuan appreciated the great rivers and mountains of the land of China and saw countless customs and customs.
As the saying goes, if you have money, you can go all over the world, but you can't move an inch without money.
Li Zhongxuan, who has a lot of money in his pocket, is also very chic along the way, enjoying the beautiful scenery, eating delicious food, drinking wine, and living a happy life.
He is already looking forward to his life in Bianjing in the future.
It is rumored that Bianjing is the largest city in the world, and the prosperity of Jinling is far less. Li Zhongxuan, who has lived in the prosperous Jinling since he was a child, is naturally a little unconvinced, but he is more curious, what does this Bianjing City look like?
Originally, he came to Bianjing City last night, but the city gate was closed too late, so he had to find a broken temple outside the city to survive all night.
There are some wine shops and flag pavilions on the official road, but there are no hotels where you can stay, so you can only find a broken temple.
However, Li Zhongxuan is outstanding at the moment, and his kung fu is rarely matched in the world, so he is not too worried about safety.
The only thing that made him a little apprehensive was the ghost stories he heard from others when he was a child. The ruined temple is the place where they haunt the most, so Li Zhongxuan weighed it before coming in.
Fortunately, Li Zhongxuan heard someone in the temple talking.
If the ghosts were here, they wouldn't scare away the guests, right?
Calming down, Li Zhongxuan slowly walked in, and it turned out to be three men passing by.
When they saw Li Zhongxuan walking in, they looked at each other and smiled, smiling a little presumptuously and a little evil.
Li Zhongxuan was a little helpless, these people opened their mouths and wanted to borrow some silver from themselves.
I didn't expect to meet a strong man in a broken temple, since you want to borrow some money from yourself, it depends on your ability.
After cleaning up the three people with three punches and two kicks, Li Zhongxuan broke off the three people with one hand and one foot and threw them aside.
In the cave, Li Zhongxuan knew about the existence of immortals, so Li Zhongxuan believed that there were ghosts in this world!
That's why I didn't throw them out, one more person has more courage, let alone three more people?
However, Li Zhongxuan didn't sleep well this night, and no one could sleep steadily while guarding against others.
It's not that I didn't think about clicking on those people's acupoints, but generally the acupoints will be automatically unlocked in two or three hours, so Li Zhongxuan ignored them.
The next day, with a dark circle under his eyes, Li Zhongxuan walked listlessly to the gate of Bianjing City.
At this time, the morning sun was rising, and there were many people coming and going in and out of the city, and they followed the crowd and walked towards the city.
Fortunately, the soldiers defending the city here did not make things difficult, so he followed the crowd into the city very smoothly.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw a wide and unusually wide street, which was far inferior to Jinling.
Li Zhongxuan raised his eyes and looked at it, but he couldn't see his head at all.
The streets are lined with countless houses, and the shops with open doors are bustling with people shouting and selling......
His stomach was already rumbling, and Li Zhongxuan really didn't have the heart to appreciate the prosperity of Bianjing at the moment.
At first, he was indeed a little shocked by the prosperity of Bianjing, but at this moment all his spirit has been attracted by the fragrant food.
When I came, I heard about Bianjing's soup dumplings, double hemp fire and so on.
Finally came to this Bianjing City today, and the gluttonous worm in Li Zhongxuan's stomach was about to break out.
I walked into a shop next to the street.
It's a breakfast shop with more than a dozen tables in it, and many people eat in it.
Li Zhongxuan casually found an empty table and sat down, and saw a young man with a white cloth on his shoulders coming over.
The little two in the world seem to be the same, Li Zhongxuan thought to himself, and unconsciously showed a smile.
"This guest officer, we have soup dumplings, spicy soup, and soy milk here to burn ...... What do you want to eat?" said Xiao Er expertly.
Li Zhongxuan couldn't wait for a long time, and immediately replied: "Bring me a cage of soup dumplings, two fires, and a bowl of soy milk." ”
"Alright, guest officer, wait a minute. Xiao Er replied neatly.
......
Not long after, Li Zhongxuan's steamed buns and roasted soy milk came up.
At the same time, there were three more strangers on the table.
Li Zhongxuan didn't reject such things as sharing tables, so he didn't say anything.
An old man in his sixties, a middle-aged man in his thirties, and a young man in his twenties.
The old man smiled kindly at Li Zhongxuan, as if he was saying that there was no place for him, so he came here to bother, he was really embarrassed.
came and did not be rude, so Li Zhongxuan also smiled at the old man.
The middle-aged man and the young man were very respectful to the old man, but for some reason the old man spoke very respectfully to the middle-aged man.
Although Li Zhongxuan had no intention of listening to others' conversations, the four of them were at a table, and it was inevitable that some words would reach his ears.
I only heard the old man sigh: "Let's buy and sell in Kaifeng Mansion all night, and those hooligans in the market seem to be busy doing business before." Nowadays, there are a lot fewer people who complain, and the world can be regarded as peaceful!"
The middle-aged man replied with a smile: "If you are a saint today, the people will have clothes and food, and the country will naturally be safe!"
The old man continued: "Yes, thanks to the official family, but there are also many credits to you!"
Li Zhongxuan was a little surprised, because there was a hint of respect in the old man's words, and he even arched his hand towards the middle-aged man as soon as he finished speaking.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Cheng Lao, don't make fun of me, how can I have any credit, we have such good law and order in Kaifeng Mansion all depends on the princes!"
The old man surnamed Cheng hurriedly said: "Cheng Yu is not talented, I really can't afford to be praised like you, my lord! What the adults have done, I will see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Cheng Lao, why should I be polite, you and I don't need to pay attention to these red tape etiquette when we come out to dine today!
After that, the two of them said polite words, and Li Zhongxuan had no intention of continuing to listen, besides, his breakfast had already been eaten.
Staying here any longer, it is inevitable that there will be some suspicions of deliberately listening to people's words. So after drinking the last sip of soy milk, Li Zhongxuan left the table.
It's a pity that if Li Zhongxuan eats slowly, he can hear some things that are extremely important to him.
It's a pity that Li Zhongxuan only said that the person named Cheng Yu was a petty official, and the middle-aged man was only regarded as a petty official by him in his heart.
As everyone knows, the middle-aged man is Zhao Guangyi, the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, Cheng Yu is his very respected cronie, and the other person is also a guard who has followed Zhao Guangyi for a long time.
If Li Zhongxuan knew all this, he would probably regret slapping his thighs swollen, and approaching Zhao Guangyi is equivalent to approaching Zhao Da!
At that time, he had a chance to start.
It's a pity that Li Zhongxuan missed this opportunity, he just wants to find an inn to rest at the moment.
After paying the money, Li Zhongxuan walked out of the breakfast shop.
Stopping a few well-wishers on the street and asking where the best inn in the neighborhood was, Li Zhongxuan rushed straight to the inn.
After a short time, he came to the door of an inn called "Ruyi Building".
There are really few people staying in the morning, so the little two at the door yawned for a long time, and his eyes seemed to be unable to open.
It wasn't until Li Zhongxuan walked to his side that he reacted, so he hurriedly got up and beckoned Li Zhongxuan in.
opened an upper room and spent Li Zhongxuan a full fifteen taels of silver.
Fortunately, Li Zhongxuan was rich and generous at this time, otherwise he would have really made his flesh hurt for a long time.
Following Xiao Er to the room, Li Zhongxuan sighed, worthy of being the room of the fifteenth twenty-one day.
The degree of prosperity is much better than the Yanyu Building where he lives in Jinling, and he feels unusually grand as soon as he enters the door. The faint scent of sandalwood came to his face, making him feel refreshed for a while.
The red sandalwood coffee table, the white oak table, and the yellow pear chair are "wide" in one word, and "luxury" in two words.
The corners of the table are inlaid with gold and jade to prevent guests from accidentally hitting the corners of the table; a layer of bamboo mats is laid on the chairs, which is indispensable in hot summer; there are a few basins of water on the ground to relieve the heat; in short, it is called a thoughtful.
What made Li Zhongxuan even more unexpected was that not long after he sat down, he heard a knock on the door.
It turned out that because of the hot weather, Ruyi Building provided some ice cubes for free to the guests who lived in the upper room.
This is a good thing, Li Zhongxuan took a small basin of ice cubes from the second-hand child, and only felt a burst of coldness invade instantly.
My heart, which was bored by the hot weather, seems to be much more relaxed at the moment.
When I opened the window, a small breeze blew slowly, with a burst of coolness.
It is worthy of the upper room, sure enough, it is really high!
Standing by the window on the fifth floor, Li Zhongxuan looked at the entire Bianjing City.
As far as the eye can see, there are countless houses. Silently looking at the tallest building in the distance, Li Zhongxuan said in his heart that it should be the imperial palace.
I don't know if I can walk in the palace safe and sound with my peerless light skills. When the time comes, Zhao Da's head will be hung on the gate of Bianjing City, and it will feel very cool to think about it!
However, Li Zhongxuan is not a fool, how can Zhao Da, who can be the co-master of the world, not have a capable person?
Moreover, Ye Tianhao had already told Li Zhongxuan that there were people outside the sky, so Li Zhongxuan would never take risks alone.
But how should he get close to Zhao Da? Li Zhongxuan didn't have a clue, so he simply didn't want to.
It was really torturous to be alone with those three strongmen last night, so Li Zhongxuan is very sleepy now.
As if his eyes were about to open, Li Zhongxuan rubbed his eyes and walked towards the bed.
Take off your clothes and lie on the cool bamboo mat, a chill spreads to your body and heart.
The drowsy mind was also a little clearer, but his spirit was still sluggish, so Li Zhongxuan closed his eyes.
After a short while, there was an even breathing sound.
