Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Great Castle

The Song State is located in the ancient Yizhou, although the land area is not as large as the 800,000 li Guanzhong of the Qin State. But there are also hundreds of thousands of miles of territory, and its administrative system is divided into: townships, towns, counties, counties, and prefectures.

There are five states, they are: Liangzhou's national capital, Taizhou borders Mount Tai of Qingzhou, Yanzhou connects the clouds of Yanshan, Taihang Prefecture is under Taihang Mountain, the other side of the mountain is the Jin State of Bingzhou, and finally Julu Prefecture is separated by a White Horse River, looking at the Central Plains.

A state is basically in charge of five or six counties, a county is basically in charge of eight to ten large and small counties, and a county is about 800 to 1,000 li in area.

For example, Chenxian County has a huge area of nearly 1,000 miles.

At the same time, whether it is Chenxian County or Guobei County, they are all counties under the jurisdiction of Daimyo County, and Daimyo County belongs to Taizhou.

Therefore, after Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia came out of the underworld, their foothold was actually dozens of miles away from the county town and the famous city.

As for the courtyard where Qiu Rong Xiao Xie and the others were, it was only a dozen miles away from the famous city.

Early the next morning, Ning Caichen left the courtyard and headed for the city.

"Whew, it's finally gone, we can go and rest in peace. In the courtyard, where it was dark and the sun couldn't shine, at this time, Qiu Rong took a group of female ghosts to see Ning Caichen's back, and said with great relief.

"Sister Qiurong, Ning Gongzi is not a bad person, why didn't you let me say goodbye to him just now. Xiao Xie next to him lifted his mouth dissatisfied, looking sullen.

"Xiao Xie, people and ghosts have different paths, what to say goodbye. Qiu Rong immediately reprimanded, and then she said bitterly: "And the aura on that Ning Gongzi's body is too strong, especially during the day, it is even more terrifying, if you get close, you will be affected by his popularity, see what you do." ”

"Let's go, go back and rest. Saying that Qiu Rong couldn't say anything more than Xiao Xie, he took her to an underground palace, where there was a coffin, and then one by one the female ghosts turned into a stream of yin qi and sank into the coffin to sleep.

......

"Don't run Tao Wangsan, stop ......"

"Ahhh......h Let's let go, uncle, let's ......"

"Haha can't catch up with me......" This is in the famous city, at this time on a stone arch bridge a few rough men are chasing a scholar, and the scholar is running in front, along the way is bumping and pushing, on the noisy bridge is people flying horses, chickens and dogs jumping.

"Hey boy, who is your uncle?" Ning Caichen was also pushed from behind by this scholar just now, originally he was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of thing. But the scholar's sentence of "uncle" instantly made the corners of his mouth twitch, and the blue tendons on his forehead were beating violently, and he was angry.

Brother Ben is only a teenager, when did he become an uncle, is your mother looking for death?

"Hey, hey, you, you, you, ......" Sure enough, as soon as Ning Caichen's old voice came out, the scholar who was laughing arrogantly was stunned in an instant, and then looked at Ning Caichen incredulously, walked up to him, tilted his head, looked like a ghost, and stammered and opened his mouth.

"Oh my God, you're so young, what gray hair. In the end, the scholar held back such a sentence for a long time, and his tone was indescribably pity and pity, shaking and sighing.

"Hurry up and catch Tao Wangsan......" At this time, several strong men behind caught up.

"Hug...... I'm sorry, I'll go first, little brother. Tao Wangsan heard the voice, looked behind him, his face changed greatly, he hugged his fist apologetically at Ning Caichen, then turned around and ran away, and disappeared into the crowd of people rubbing shoulders in a few steps.

"Damn, let him run away again...... After a while, several strong men squeezed through the crowd, came to Ning Caichen's side and stopped, looking up, Tao Wangsan's figure was no longer visible at all, and scolded angrily.

"Old man, do you know Tao Wangsan......" Immediately, the strong man who took the lead, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, tore off his shirt, revealing a bunch of bear hair underneath, and roared at Ning Caichen with a hideous face.

"Get out of ......" Ning Caichen's face darkened, and he glanced at the strong man next to him coldly, the chill in his eyes could freeze people to death, and the sound exploded next to the other party's ears like thunder, which immediately suffocated the strong man's chest, opened his mouth in horror, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in his throat, and didn't dare to speak for a long time.

After waiting for Ning Caichen's figure to disappear in front of the street with the squirming of the crowd, he came back to his senses with a frightened face, broke out in a cold sweat, and left with a group of younger brothers.

"Little Er, come to a pot of tea and a few plates of side dishes. Walking on the street for a while, Ning Caichen saw a Dalong Inn, so he walked in and found a random place close to the door, his eyes could pay attention to the situation outside, and then he commanded the shopkeeper who greeted him, and at the same time threw out a silver knife coin in his hand.

"Wait a minute, officer. Maybe it's because Ning Caichen's clothes are too shabby, he is completely a poor scholar, and he has weird white hair that makes people feel like a beggar, so at the beginning, the shopkeeper's face was very stinky, but after he threw out a silver knife coin, his face changed instantly, and he became as enthusiastic as his ancestors.

Ning Caichen, who looked at this, shook his head and also examined himself, whether it was time for him to change his clothes, otherwise this kind of dress would be really easy to be looked down upon.

"Hey, little brother, we're so fateful. Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded on the second floor of the inn, which made Ning Caichen also turn his head in surprise, it turned out to be that kid.

"It's fate. Ning Caichen nodded and said lightly.

"Hey, little brother, why are you a young man. Tao Wangsan sat down with a familiar look and asked curiously.

"Didn't your teacher teach you not to casually mention other people's sad things?" Ning Caichen took a sip of tea and asked with a cold face.

"Oh oh, I'm sorry, little brother, it's my fault. Tao Wangsan was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to his senses, patted his head and apologized sincerely to Ning Caichen.

"Xiao Er, here are a few exquisite side dishes and a pot of wine. ”

"I'm treating, it's my reparation to my little brother, okay. Then Tao Wangsan greeted the shopkeeper loudly, and then turned his head to Ning Caichen and said.

"I ordered it and paid for it. Ning Caichen was still indifferent, looking at the scenery outside, obviously not interested in talking nonsense with the other party.

"By the way, little brother, my name is Tao Wangsan, I came to the county town this time to participate in the cultural meeting, hoping to be able to get an official and a half position, what about you?"

"Can the Wenhui be admitted to a half-official position? Isn't this the imperial examination?" Ning Caichen turned his head in some surprise this time and asked suspiciously.
