Chapter 202: The First City in the World
Chapter 203
Time flies, and it's a year in the blink of an eye.
In the middle of summer, ten miles outside the capital.
The scorching sun fell on people like fire. But in such weather, there are still groups of people walking on the official road, they are in groups of three or five, or riding horses, or riding cars, or walking together, some in brocade robes, some in sackcloth, and some wearing straw sandals.
Lao Zhang opened a tea stall next to the official road, because the imperial court wants to open a martial arts imperial examination, and people who practice martial arts in the world will rush to the capital in the near future.
"Three guest officers, your tea, and a plate of cooked meat, three slow use. ”
There were three people sitting around the table, looking like a family of three, and the old father with a pair of brothers and sisters. The old man was over fifty years old, with a goatee on his chin, and his brother was a little older, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a simple expression, but the girl was not very old.
"The three of them also went to Beijing to catch the exam, right?" Lao Zhang obviously intended to talk.
"You can see it. The goatee laughed: "Take my eldest son there." ”
"I can't tell that nine and a half out of ten people sit at my tea stall every day for this. Look at the little brother's body, at least he can be a centurion. If I Lao Zhang were a few years younger, I would have to try, and if I didn't want to fight this old bone, I would have to kill a few Rong clans. ”
"Tea shopkeeper, don't join in the fun. How can the Rong clan be easy to kill, that battle, all the way to the battle, all the way to defeat, and finally was beaten to the feet of the Son of Heaven by the Rong clan, hey, my dignified empire, no one can resist the Rong clan. A guest said: "By the way, Lao Zhang, last year the Rong people besieged the capital, you live here, have you seen the Rong people?"
"How can I not see it, my little son...... Hi, don't say this, don't say this. Lao Zhang laughed dryly
"If no one in the empire can stop the Rong clan, I don't think it's right, I think that the imperial god of war, who annihilated 100,000 enemies in one battle, really gave us a bad breath in my heart. A bearded guest said.
"Hey, who doesn't know about this, I won't tell you, we are here this time, one is for the martial arts, and the other is to meet the imperial god of war, if we can get one or two of his teachings, I am afraid that this life will be infinitely useful. ”
"Who in the empire doesn't want to see him today, it's just that such a fairy figure is afraid that it is not easy to see. ”
"The imperial court wants to reward the lord in Chang'an, maybe there will be a chance to meet him. ”
"If the empire is full of such generals, we don't have to be bullied by the Rong clan like this. ”
At the mention of the words "Imperial God of War", everyone became enthusiastic, even people who had never known each other in their lives were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time. I don't know how much magic these four words have, they can bring strangers together.
"Humph!"
A little girl snorted heavily, not loudly, but like adding a handful of sand to a pot of porridge, a little toothy.
"This girl, don't be disrespectful to the imperial god of war, and still have to respect the hero. ”
"This girl is still young and doesn't know the world, and Brother Li still doesn't know her like her. ”
"Phew. The little girl took a sip of tea: "Bullshit hero, why should I respect a dog." ”
"You!" said to the beard.
"Haha, my little daughter has spoken rudely, which has made you unhappy. Ling'er, what bullshit, this is what you girl can say. The goatee scolded, put a stack of copper plates on the table, and said, "Farewell, farewell." ”
The three of them got up and wanted to leave, but Lao Zhang felt that something was wrong. The old man only said that the little girl was rude, but he did not say that she was wrong. And this little girl looks very handsome, but her speech and demeanor seem to be uneducated, like, like a ...... Brigand.
Would you like to go up and ask?
"Bah, Hugh go!"
The long-bearded man stopped in front of the three of them with a whistle stick and said, "It's okay for you to be disrespectful, but I can't tolerate your disrespect to Lord War." You little girl must take back what you said, or you will blame me for being rude. ”
"This brother, how can you be rude?"
The honest man who had never spoken put his palm on his shoulder, and how his hand was stretched out, the long-bearded man didn't see it clearly. I only felt that the shoulder mountain was like pressing a mountain, the bone joints creaked and creaked, and with a snap, the whistle stick was not tightly grasped, and it fell to the ground.
The three of them left slowly, and in the eyes of everyone in the teahouse, the figures of the three disappeared in the direction of the capital.
"Daddy, we've been looking for so long, we've walked a lot of places, but we haven't found the big boss, will the big boss be ......?"
"A year ago, although the big boss was forced to jump off a cliff, the officers and soldiers did not find the body of the big boss. I have a feeling that the big boss should still be alive. ”
"I wonder when I'll find him?"
"This martial arts examination, people from all over the world who practice martial arts will go to the capital, such a lively thing, the big boss will not be absent, not to mention, the surname Yang is going to ......"
The three of them looked at each other and nodded to each other.
These three people are naturally Xu Shenji, Qin Man, and Xu Ling'er. After Xu Shenji and Qin Man got out, they went to the south to find Xu Ling'er, and then looked for Cheng Dalei on the land of the empire. Within a year, he walked through Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Youzhou, and even the boundaries of the Rong clan outside Guanwai, but he didn't find any news of Cheng Dalei. Some people say that there was a simple man who made an axe somewhere, and he hurried over, but he didn't meet the other party.
All the way to the capital, the more important thing than the martial arts examination is that Emperor Ming wants to reward Yang Longzhu in front of the world.
The toad village is in ashes, and how many brothers wander the world, all of which are due to Yang Longzhi. And what Toad Village did, but he was pressed on Yang Longzhu's body, enjoying supreme glory and being worshiped as the imperial god of war.
The thieves of Toad Village don't care about glory or rewards, but they can't tolerate villains being rampant. Otherwise, those brothers who died in battle would die without seeing their eyes.
Every person who is still alive in Toad Village will stop asking Yang Long for justice. In Youzhou, he hid in the city, it was not easy to kill him, but in the capital, he may not have no chance.
If Cheng Dalei is still alive, he will come to the capital.
Shaoyu, if Lin Chong is still alive, he will also come to the capital.
Liu Guan and Zhang Zhao will also come to the capital.
Today, I am afraid that many brothers will meet in the capital.
And today, Xu Shenji and his entourage came to the capital.
The capital is already in sight.
The capital, located in Jingzhou, has another one, called Chang'an.
Chang'an, located in Jingzhou, is the Kyoto of the empire, the hinterland of the world, people say that the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the fragrance of ink, the coast of the East China Sea, the sea and the waves, the land of Sichuan and Shu, the country of abundance...... But everyone understands that none of these places can be compared with Chang'an.
Because this is Chang'an, it is the first city in the world.
Chang'an Chang'an, Chang'an in the world, this is the dream of the emperors of the past dynasties, many people have never been to Chang'an in their lives, and they must have stepped into this city in their dreams.
