"Huh. Unexpectedly, back here?"

Returning to his hometown, Chen Ziang looked at the towering city gate and couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

He had been here a year ago, but today, he didn't need to be as cautious as he was last time.

Just as he took a step and was about to step into the city, he couldn't help but stop when he saw the soldiers standing on both sides. The person behind him was caught off guard, hit him directly, and scolded: "Why did you suddenly stop? Don't you know how to make people?"

"Nothing. ”

Chen Ziang pointed to the soldiers on both sides and asked, "If you just enter the city, don't you need to pay the entrance fee?" The first time he came here, he was stopped by the doorman and forced him to ask for dozens of dollars, although it was only a small amount, but it still made him feel pain.

"Hey. Since Prime Minister Na Xiao entered, this thing has been abolished. It is forbidden for anyone to set up checkpoints to prevent others from entering the city. ”

The man smiled, and then replied, "And I heard that Prime Minister Xiao even plans to tear down this city gate so that a road can be built to facilitate the entry and exit of personnel." Such an idea is really shocking. If it was those people in the past, they would have had to loot all the money. ”

"Tear down the gates?"

Chen Ziang laughed and said, "This kind of practice is a bit shocking. However, now that artillery is common, it is still difficult to block the attack by relying on this gate. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Prime Minister Xiao plans to tear down the city wall and widen the road. ”

This is true. ”

The man nodded, feeling that there was some truth to this.

The two walked through the city gate together, probably because there was no level, and they felt very happy.

After entering Lin'an, Chen Ziang was a little hesitant, since he resigned, he has lived a life without a fixed place, after all, he is alone, and he has no family to support, but it is much more convenient, just because he heard that Lin'an was captured by Xiao Feng, so he came here and wanted to see the appearance of Lin'an.

"Hmm. Or maybe you should go and find Guan Tong. After all, here, I only know him. ”

After thinking about it, Chen Ziang took a stride and walked towards the store where Guan Tong was.

Guan Tong's shop was not far from here, and Chen Ziang walked for less than a quarter of an hour before he came outside the shop. At this time, Na Guan Tong was pushing a small cart, ready to transport the cloth loaded on it into the store.

"Hey. Lao Guan!"

Chen Ziang hurriedly stopped and asked with a smile, "How are you doing these days?"

"What else can I do? Fortunately, I wasn't discovered by those Yuan soldiers before, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you. Guan Tong was a little surprised, hurriedly put down the car, wiped his sweat with a towel, and then said.

Although he was smiling, the whole city was banned because of the robbery of Xie Daoqing and Wen Tianxiang, but he was scared half to death.

Chen Ziang apologized: "I can't help but do those things before. ”

"It's all in the past, it's all over anyway. Guan Tong looked Chen Ziang up and down, and then asked, "It's just that why did you suddenly come here and didn't tell me beforehand?"

"Don't be too nervous. I've resigned, and I'm just wandering around. Because I only know you alone in this Lin'an, that's why I came. Chen Ziang comforted.

Guan Tong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Chen Ziang with complicated eyes, and asked, "So that's the case." I didn't expect you to quit?"

"That's right. After all, I'm not too young, so I should take a break when I calculate the time. And now that the Song Dynasty has collapsed, I shouldn't be needed. Chen Ziang only sighed, in just a few years, this Lin'an has changed several owners, which is also unpredictable.

But for now, there shouldn't be any more surprises.

Sensing the hidden worry in Guan Tong's eyes, Chen Ziang comforted again: "Of course, you don't have to worry. After all, only I know about you. In the future, you can go about your business with peace of mind. ”

"That's just as well. And now that the waterway between Chang'an and Lin'an has been opened, business should be better than before. Guan Tong calmed down.

In the past, if he was not forced to do so, he would not have joined the Huaxia Army, but now that Lin'an has been used by the Huaxia Army, the previous things can be put down, and there is no need to continue to worry.

Chen Ziang smiled: "Oh? Then do you want me to help you in Chang'an? After all, I also have some acquaintances in Chang'an, so I should be able to help you a little." "Previously, because of Wen Tianxiang's matter, Guan Tong had been troubled, so now he wants to help Guan Tong, which can be regarded as his own apology.

"Thank you very much. ”

Guan Tong said with a smile.

At this moment, a young couple walked out of the store, and when the little couple saw Chen Ziang appear here, they were curious and asked, "Father, who is he?" When they were busy in the store before, they saw Guan Tong and Chen Ziang chatting hotly, which is why they asked.

"My friend. When he was wandering outside before, he once saved his life. Guan Tong smiled, and then said to Chen Ziang: "He is my son, named Guan Qiao." I used to live in the countryside so as not to be expropriated by the government. Now that Lin'an is safe, he was transferred back. ”

"I see. ”

Chen Ziang was thoughtful, when he came here before, he had only seen Guan Tong and himself, so he thought that Guan Tong was a loner in general, but he didn't expect that he also had a son.

"Friends, come in quickly, don't stay outside. The little couple hurriedly shouted.

Chen Ziang walked into it with him and helped Guan Tong unload all the cloth.

When he was done, Chen Ziang also drank a glass of water and rested, but at this time, Guan Qiao came to Guan Tong with his wife, and said to Guan Tong: "Father, I want to go out." ”

"Where are you going?" Guan Tongdun was puzzled.

"Father. Isn't this the palace opened by Prime Minister Xiao! So we want to go in and have a look at the scene of the emperor's life in the past. Guan Qiao's face was full of curiosity, and he pleaded with Guan Tong.

Guan Tong shook his head slightly, and his heart was really like this, so he said, "Then you can go." Just remember, go and come back quickly. After all, the store needs to be guarded, you know?"

"Father is relieved. We'll be back soon. The two of them looked excited, and hurriedly left this place and walked straight towards the palace.

Chen Ziang was listening, and he was also quite surprised in his heart: "These actions are also things done by the main guild. Then he stood up, but said with a smile: "You two, take me with you too." I heard that the palace was where the emperor lived, and I wanted to see what it was like inside. ”

The three of them walked together towards the palace.

Watching the three of them leave, Guan Tong sighed: "Hey. It's just a palace, what's there to see?"

On the other side, Chen Ziang also came to the periphery of the palace with Guan Qiao and Guan Qiao, and after paying another 300 yuan, the three of them also entered it.

"I thought it was the same as entering Lin'an before, but it was free. I didn't expect to have to pay 100 wen before I could get in?" Chen Ziang complained.

Guan Qiao smiled: "It's just a hundred Wen, it's nothing." And for only one hundred wen, you can play in this place where only emperors and ministers could live in the past, isn't it very cost-effective?"

"That's just as well. ”

Chen Ziang flattened his mouth, this palace is different from Lin'an City after all, it is a place for the people of the royal family to live, naturally it can't accommodate too many people, and there are many precious things hidden in it, so naturally everyone should be restrained so as not to summon losses.

However, as Guan Qiao said, even if you need to pay a hundred yuan, this palace is also full of people, which seems to be a little crowded.

Following everyone, the three of them soon came to the front of the Qinzheng Palace.

This Qinzheng Hall is the place where the emperor and hundreds of officials of the Song Dynasty managed the court in the past, and it is naturally curious by everyone who wants to see the scenery.

The three of them followed the flow of people, and finally squeezed in front of the palace gate.

"Try to sit on the dragon chair! 200 wen at a time. ”

Looking at it, Chen Ziang immediately saw a wooden sign standing outside the hall, with nine big characters written on it, which also made him feel extremely stunned.

"Try to sit on the dragon chair? The lord is really bold enough to put this thing out?"

Although he had long known that his lord was bold, Chen Ziang was still frightened when he saw this brand, you must know that this dragon chair is nothing else, it is only the emperor can sit, but now it was directly put out by Xiao Feng, and even said that it only takes two hundred Wen to sit, I have to say that this is really unimaginable.

"Only two hundred wen?"

No, after Guan Qiao saw it, his eyes were already red.

"You're going to give it a try?"

Chen Ziang asked.

Guan Qiao nodded and replied, "That's right." If you two people say it's only 400 yuan, although it's a little expensive, it's not bad to try it. Then he pointed to the dragon chair in the Qinzheng Palace, and said: "And I am not the only one who wants to make the dragon chair, so it shouldn't be nothing." ”

Chen Ziang looked up and saw a little guy less than a year old lying on the dragon chair. On either side of the little guy stood a husband and wife, who had obviously paid to sit on the dragon chair. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the guards standing on both sides to let them go up.

In addition, there were dozens of people standing in front of them, and I don't know how many people came behind them, and it was obvious that these people also wanted to try the taste of the dragon chair.

In this atmosphere, they felt that they were much bolder, and they were terrified when they saw the emperor before.

"Huh. This little guy actually peed. ”

At this moment, the couple was surprised and picked up the baby, and on the dragon chair, a touch of water stains was clearly visible, which made people laugh.

Chen Ziang couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that this dragon chair is nothing more than that." ”
