Unlike other countries, the other countries are united, and Kyoto has absolute power over each region.

This is not the case with Ekoku, where there is an alliance between the local prefectures and counties of the entire Ekoku region, and the governors are very powerful, and they only superficially respect the Kyoto Imperial Family. The Kyoto Imperial Family also knew that their strength was far from enough to subdue the state lords of the entire Jiang Kingdom, and they would not provoke the state lords for no reason.

The state lords often use some swords and soldiers in order to compete for territory, and when there is a small fight between several states, the royal family of the capital will ignore it, but if there is a real fire between the states, the royal family of the capital will intervene to mediate and stop the war.

For some reason, the state lords united and obviously had the power to overthrow the royal family, but none of these state lords dared to rebel against the royal family.

There is a large river that runs through the whole country in the territory of Gangguni, and when this great river flows into the boundless Black Sea, it passes through Gangkuni Kyoto, making Gangkuni Kyoto's water transportation extremely developed. In addition to the convenient water passage, the official road leading to Kyoto is also well-connected, covering the entire Ekuni in a cobweb.

Convenient transportation, so that the province of Kyoto has become extremely prosperous, coming and going are pedestrians, Kyoto's castle is also built tall, full of thirty or forty zhang high, nearly 100 miles long, like a long hill lying on the edge of the river.

Outside the gate of the capital city of Jiangguo, there are more than ten neat convoys, each convoy is hundreds of zhang long, in addition to these dozen neat convoys, there are also many scattered carriages, long lined up into four or five chaotic convoys.

In the four or five chaotic convoys, a young man who seemed to be eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in an ordinary yellow robe, holding a long horsewhip in his hand, sat in front of a medium-sized carriage, like a small coachman.

This little coachman is Han Ming, this is already a month after he and Anan escaped from Qingfeng Village, and after a long journey, they finally arrived in Kyoto, this Jiangguo.

"Finally, we arrived in Kyoto. Han Ming turned his head to look at the carriage behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Anan poked out a small head from the carriage, wrinkled his nose and said, "Recently, it should be the day of tribute from various states, there are convoys everywhere, if we want to enter the city, I am afraid we will have to wait for a long time......!

Before Anan finished speaking, he exclaimed: "Don't run, little worm, come back, there are so many dangerous people here." ”

Han Ming turned his head to look, but saw the little tiger cub coming out from under the curtain of the car, jumping out of the carriage and stabbing into the pile of people not far away.

Han Ming couldn't help frowning, he stretched out his hand to stop Anan who was about to jump out of the carriage, and said gently, "Stay in the car, I'll go and get it back." After finishing speaking, Han Ming jumped out of the carriage and chased after the little tiger cub.

Without any effort, Han Ming lifted the little tiger cub back with the fur on the back of his head, and then gently placed it in Anan's arms.

"Ah, why is the little insect trembling vigorously, as if it was frightened!" Anan's face was full of doubt.

"It's okay, I've never seen so many people, and I was scared stupid. Han Ming smiled slightly, glanced at the trembling little tiger cub, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

After all, brutes are brutes, and they are still young, so there will be no danger, but if they grow up, they may hurt their masters. Just in case, Han Ming quietly used the spirit binding technique on the little tiger cub, took the little tiger as his own beast pet, and then gave an order to the uncivilized little tiger, swearing to protect Anan's safety and ensure that the little tiger would not hurt Anan when he grew up.

And the beam spirit technique is a kind of spell against demon beasts and ghosts, dealing with such an underage mortal beast is simply killing chickens with a knife, but a short moment of recognition of the master is over, and the little tiger's trembling is the sequelae of the beam spirit technique.

"You're just stupid, little worm is very smart!" Anan said with a pouting of his lips and some dissatisfaction.

"Anan, I'm leaving!" Han Ming said in a low voice.

"Let's go, where are we going!" Anan patronized and comforted the trembling little tiger, and didn't care what Han Ming said, just replied casually.

"I won't go into the capital with you, I'm going to find my uncle in the depths of the Ascending Star Mountain Range. Han Ming whispered again.

Only then did Anan react to this matter, she raised her head suddenly, stared at Han Ming without blinking, and said after a long time: "What uncle, why haven't I heard you say it." ”

Han Ming also raised his head, a rare trace of guilt appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "I have a master who teaches me medical skills, and the master has a senior brother, who is my uncle. ”

Anan raised his head and lowered it again, and Han Ming couldn't see her face clearly, but he also guessed the probability, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

"Do you want to go?" Anan kept his head down, and then finally held back a sentence.

Han Ming didn't answer, just looked at the sky in the distance, and then looked at Anan who lowered his head, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

Anan didn't hear Han Ming's answer, so he understood a little in his heart, and after being silent for a while, he lowered his head again and asked, "Will you come back?"

"Should come back. Han Ming's voice was low.

"How long. Anan asked again.

"It can be as short as two or three years, or as long as four or five years. Han Ming replied silently.

"That's good, I'll wait for you. Anan lowered his head and whispered.

Han Ming was silent, just kept looking into the distance, and there were some complicated feelings in his eyes that Anan couldn't see.

The two of them were silent, the atmosphere was very low, and in the end, Han Ming couldn't bear it, so he broke the atmosphere first, he jumped out of the carriage and said before leaving: "Stay in the car, I'll go find a coachman." ”

About two quarters of an hour later, Han Ming led a thin monkey-like man back to the side of the carriage, and gave an order, and the thin monkey respectfully stood outside the carriage, while Han Ming turned over into the carriage and got in.

"Outside, I found a coachman, very obedient, he will send you safely to your father and mother, I will leave soon. Han Ming whispered.

"Oh. Anan lowered his head and answered, his voice a little choked.

"Then I'm leaving!" Han Ming looked at Anan deeply before turning his head and getting out of the carriage.

"Wait. Anan grabbed Han Ming at once, she raised her head, her eyes were red.

"Your clothes are so ugly, I made you two sets, I was going to give them to you when I saw my parents, but now that you are leaving, I can only give you first. Anan stuffed the two cloth packages on the side of the carriage into Han Ming's arms, squeezed out a smile with his efforts, and then pushed Han Ming towards the outside of the carriage, "Let's go." ”

Han Ming hugged the two packages, got out of the carriage, and after staring at the carriage blankly for a while, he turned his head firmly.

"Childe. The skinny monkey-like coachman nodded at Han Ming.

"Protect the people in the car, send her to Lu Yushi's mansion, and someone will naturally detoxify you when you pour. But in case the person in the car is slightly damaged, you should know the consequences. Han Ming stared coldly at the thin monkey coachman, which immediately made the coachman shudder.

"Yes, yes, my son, the little one must send the uncle in the car to Lu Yushi's mansion. The skinny monkey coachman nodded repeatedly.

"This money is your bounty. Han Ming took out a piece of silver and threw it in the coachman's hand.

Looking at the heavy silver in his hand, the coachman was overjoyed, he had never seen such a large ingot of silver, and said grateful words to Han Ming again and again.

"The money is yours, but the life is not yours, you can do it yourself. Han Ming explained coldly, and was about to walk into the distance.

"Brother Ming, can I go with you. At this time, Anan got out of the carriage and shouted at Han Ming, who was about to leave.

Hearing this, a trace of bitterness appeared on Han Ming's face, and he tried to calm down before turning his head and saying gently, "The road is more difficult. ”

"Oh. Anan replied in a low voice.

Han Ming sighed deeply, and then decisively turned to the back of a convoy, completely disappearing from the field of vision of Anan's carriage.

At this time, Anan suddenly drilled her head out again, but she didn't see the familiar figure, her eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions, some were confused, some were lost, and some were reluctant......

"It's hard to walk, so be careful. Anan said in a voice that he could only hear, and then looked into the distance stupidly.

Seeing such a beautiful and unusually beautiful girl coming out of the car, the thin monkey coachman's face was full of surprise, he never expected that the escort he was escorting was such a beautiful girl.

However, before the thin monkey coachman could take a closer look at the girl's face, he felt a cold aura spread all over his body, and he immediately trembled, as if he had been targeted by a poisonous snake, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to look directly at the girl in the carriage.

Half a day later, a carriage appeared in front of Lu Yushi's mansion, and after the passage of a thin monkey-like coachman, Lu Yushi's wife, Princess Qinghe, ran out of the mansion in a panic, and even ran away from one of her shoes.

After Princess Qinghe called out outside the carriage, a beautiful girl on the carriage jumped down, and after seeing the person who came, she threw herself into Princess Qinghe's arms and cried aggrievedly.

And Lu Yushi, who was accompanying the prince to discuss the matter, heard the news from the next person, and immediately said something like a confession, turned around and went home, and then thought that the carriage was too slow, so he directly grabbed a horse, turned over the horse alone, and ran towards his own house.

The thin monkey coachman is now happy and worried, happy that Princess Qinghe is very generous, Tankou sent someone to reward him with a hundred taels of silver, these rewards are more than double the amount given to him by the previous boy.

The worry is that now he has a poison in his body, and no one will help him detoxify, if what the young man said is true, he will turn into a puddle of pus and blood in six hours.
