The big ship went north along the coast, and then went west along the river, although the waterway was a little bumpy, but it was also smooth sailing, safe and sound, and finally arrived at the imperial capital city smoothly after a few days.

The Imperial Capital City, located at the confluence of the Heishui and the Tianhan River, has a radius of 100 miles and a population of one million, and has always been the largest city in the Central Plains and even the entire Great Wilderness. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the imperial capital has always been the imperial rule of the Central Plains Dynasty, for thousands of years, even if the world is turbulent, the dynasty has changed, its status has never changed, has become a symbol of Chinese orthodoxy.

In the south of the imperial capital, on the bank of the Tianhan River, seeing Xiao Suifeng looking at the imperial capital not far away, Yu Wenqian couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, and said, "Childe, you have never been to the imperial capital, right?"

Xiao Suifeng glanced at Yu Wenqian silently and nodded lightly.

Xiao Suifeng has indeed never been to the imperial capital, and when he went south to the sea before, he only took a boat to look at the river from afar, but the majestic and tall city wall gave Xiao Suifeng a deep shock, and it is still fresh in his memory. Now, really standing under the city, and looking at it again, I feel that the city wall is towering and amazing, which makes people feel deep awe.

However, this strange emotion only stayed in his heart for a while, and was restrained and blown away by Xiao Suifeng. Xiao Suifeng, who came back to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, he also had something important to do in the imperial capital, although the imperial capital was magnificent and prosperous, he didn't have the heart to visit and enjoy, so he asked directly, "Where is Tiantai Mansion?"

Yu Wenqian was angry and funny when she heard this, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention, so she gave him a blank look and said, "What are you anxious about? The imperial capital is the center of the imperial court and a place where powerful people gather, and there are many eyes and ears in secret. For now, let's find a place to live first, and then look for another opportunity, be careful to ensure that we succeed at one time, otherwise it will be difficult to escape in this Gyeonggi region. ”

Xiao Suifeng was also cautious, but he was just in a hurry for a while, and when he heard Yu Wenqian say, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but nod after thinking about it.

After all, Tiantai Mansion is not an ordinary place, and it has the nature of both the power of the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, so it must be heavily guarded. At present, although most of the masters of Tiantai Mansion have gone to Tiantai Castle, it will definitely not be easy to break into Tiantai Mansion, but they really need to plan carefully.

Yuwen Qian saw that Xiao Suifeng listened to her words, but she was quite satisfied, so she grinned, "Childe, then let's enter the city first." ”

The imperial capital city is worthy of being the first city in the world for thousands of years, and the prosperity and wealth in the city are far from being comparable to ordinary cities.

The entire imperial capital city can be roughly divided into several areas.

The most central is the inner city, also known as the imperial city, which is the residence of the emperor and the place where the hundred officials will meet, and the defense is strict, which can be imagined. As for the area outside the imperial city, it is an official office, and most of the imperial court institutions are located here, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter lightly.

With the imperial city as the center, there are nine vertical streets in the north and south, five horizontal streets in the east and west, and the entire imperial capital city is divided into dozens of square districts, which means the meaning of the ninety-five supreme, connecting the twelve city gates in the east and west, north and south, and the city such as residential areas, shops, military camps, etc. are all in it, and it is scattered.

Walking into the city, looking at the street market and the traffic, Xiao Suifeng, who had never been to the imperial capital, didn't know where to go for a while.

But Yu Wenqian had obviously been to the imperial capital, and she knew a lot about the situation in the imperial capital, so she went straight to find an inn, and after settling up her accommodation, she pulled Xiao Suifeng out of the door.

Xiao Suifeng was completely unfamiliar with the situation in the imperial capital, so he could only let Yu Wenqian lead him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Find a restaurant. ”

"Are you hungry?"

Xiao Suifeng asked confusedly, Yuwen Qian glanced at him, and then said, "Restaurants and restaurants, these are places where the three sects and nine streams gather, we just arrived in the imperial capital and are not familiar with the place, so we will sit down first to find out the news and listen to the situation in the imperial capital." ”

Yu Wenqian's temperament has always been difficult to see, and when she is playing tricks, Xiao Suifeng almost has a headache, but when she gets serious, her thoughtfulness makes Xiao Suifeng secretly praise and sigh to herself.

Yu Wenqian didn't pay attention to Xiao Suifeng's expression, and continued, "I know that the emperor has a Baiyu Building, which is located in Wannianfang near here. In fact, the wine and food in Baiyulou are just ordinary, and there are not many special features, but the business has always been excellent, and it is full almost every day, Childe, guess why?"

Xiao Suifeng lowered his head and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't guess." ”

Yu Wenqian smiled slightly and said, "There are many people in this world, whether they are mixed in the rivers and lakes or not, but they are always very interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. So the owner of the Baiyulou came up with an idea, deliberately placed a book case in the restaurant, and invited a few storytellers to tell the recent big and small things on the rivers and lakes every day like a storyteller. In fact, most of the news that Baiyulou said was spread in the rivers and lakes, but people were eager to hear it, so that Baiyulou's business was getting better and better, from an ordinary restaurant to one of the most famous restaurants in the imperial capital today. ”

Xiao Suifeng was also amazed when he heard it, and secretly said that the master of the Baiyu Building had a clever mind, but he was quite emotional in his heart.

Everyone in the world has the psychology of hunting for curiosity, and the word "rivers and lakes" is undoubtedly a great temptation for people outside the rivers and lakes. In their eyes, the rivers and lakes are the love of children, happiness and enmity, and once they enter the rivers and lakes, they will no longer be restrained, what kind of freedom is this?

But they forgot that the most rivers and lakes are not beauties or wine, but swords and swords, blood and rain. Stepping into the rivers and lakes is not restrained? Wrong, wrong, wrong! Big mistake, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes are the biggest constraints!

Xiao Suifeng listened to Yu Wenqian silently, and after a while, he came to the outside of the Baiyu Building. Looking around, I saw that the Baiyu Building was really full of people, full of seats, and even outside the door of the restaurant there were many spectators who couldn't afford to pay for tea, almost blocking the door, it was really not ordinary lively.

The innkeepers were also afraid that the spectators gathered outside the door would affect their business, so they had to drive them away every once in a while, but it didn't have much effect, and in the end they could only beg the people to get out of the way, open the window, and let them listen outside the window.

Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian naturally wouldn't crowd outside like those people, and went directly into the restaurant after paying for the tea. But the restaurant is still overcrowded, there is no place to sit, many people are standing directly, but they still listen with relish.

Standing is not a problem for Yu Wenqian, but so many people are so crowded, which makes Yu Wenqian, who is a daughter, a little reluctant.

Just when Yu Wenqian and Xiao Suifeng frowned slightly, a sharp-eyed guy immediately greeted them, looked at most of the clothes of the two, and asked with a pleasant smile, "I'm sorry two guests, there is really no place to sit downstairs, but there are still a few private rooms upstairs, I wonder if you need them?"

This is naturally needed, Yu Wenqian directly threw out a silver ingot, and said, "Find a private room with a better location, and then make a few good dishes and send them quickly." ”

Xiao Er accepted the money, his face was happy, and he hurriedly took the two of them to the private room on the second floor.

It is said to be a private room, but in fact, it is an ordinary cubicle, but there are few people on the second floor, so it is naturally much cleaner. The two sat down in the private room, and although they couldn't see the storyteller downstairs, they could still hear the voice clearly.

Yu Wenqian listened to it, couldn't help but look at Xiao Suifeng, and smiled coincidentally, "It's really a coincidence, Childe, I'm talking about you below." ”

Xiao Suifeng frowned slightly when he heard this, and he also listened carefully, it turned out that what the storyteller was talking about was the chaos and killing of that night in Linhai City.
