Chapter 100 The Capital

Haojing City has many names, but in short, it is still mostly called the capital city by people. The capital is large in population, and it is also the most prosperous place among the many states, roads, prefectures, counties, and cities.

The town structure is surrounded by floors one by one, and the center is naturally the Jiuwu City where the emperor lives. The second floor outside is the place where the ministers live. The locations of the ministers live in different directions from southeast, west and north. The north is the place where the royal relatives of the dynasty live. There are also differences in the three places in the southeast, west and west. The officials, households, military and punishment workers are entrenched. Each two divisions occupy one side. The closer they are to the Jiuwu City, the greater the official title and the more respected the imperial court.

From this small method of resettlement of mansions, we can see the imperial power of the royal family to balance the four houses for many years.

The roads in the city run through the city horizontally and vertically, and there are paths parallel to the city walls around them linking the two avenues. Compared with this horizontally and vertically and layered main road, the rest of the paths that are like branches of trees are not worth mentioning at all.

These layers of cities that are like square rings are divided by rivers or walls, which is enough to show the distinction between classes. The city is divided into nine layers, secretly combined with extreme numbers, and five rivers that are formed naturally or artificially dug through the city. The nine-five masters and the nine-five city are well-deserved.

The Han and Tang dynasties, whether it is the common people or the martial arts world, everyone praised the magnificence of the capital. There was a minister who dared to speak out in a straightforward manner in the temple. Once, the minister once wrote that the number of walls in the capital was enough to be equal to the number of walls in the northern part of the city. It also said that it divided the class, which was exhausted and damaged the people and was not conducive to the people and the king. Today, the emperor is not angry with the minister who spoke out loudly, but was promoted to the next level and rewarded 100 taels of gold.

Standing in front of the city gate, Yun Zangfeng couldn't help but exclaim, thinking that this Haojing City is really amazing and magnificent. The city gate alone is taller, wider and more courageous than all the cities he had seen before. He originally thought that Jiangnan was already a prosperous place in the world, with a luxurious city and a rich and lusty city. Today, when he saw the true appearance of the capital, he realized that the cities in Jiangnan were only a small witch compared to the capital.

After they left the Ma family, they had already stopped and walked, and they had been around for nearly seven days. The convoy of the convoy stopped to rest when they encountered the city. If it was a little late, Ji Buyu would have to stay in a hotel to rest, and would never delay the extra hour.

A guard once advised him: "Your Highness, you should be careful when you go out. It is the best way to rush back to the capital at night. You have a noble status and you will not allow any mistakes in your body. If something goes wrong, how can the young people afford it?"

Who knew that Ji Buyu was very good at treating people, but he was not guilty of the words of the guards. He only replied coldly: "Safety? I have reported to my father before I went out for a trip. I only appointed you as personal guards to ensure my safety. Is there any such thing?"

The guard was arching his body and talking to Ji Buyu. At this moment, his head was buried lower, and his forehead was sweating coldly, but he couldn't help but answer: "This is indeed the case."

Ji Buyu said again: "Since you admit that there is this, then my safety is your responsibility. As for how I want to play, when will it be your turn to ask about it?"

The guard replied, "Yes, it's a villain who has violated the law. Please forgive me for your crime."

Ji Buyu smiled again, helped the guard up, wiped the cold sweat off his head, and then said, "Yes, since you have come out, you have to relax and have a good time. You can have a rare holiday to see the great mountains and rivers of the Han and Tang dynasties. As for safety issues, aren't you still there?"

The guards had no choice but to say that this second prince turned against each other faster than to read books. The yin and yang made people's hair stand up. This skill made him feel even more terrible. He thought that it turns out that the royal family is not simple.

Yun Zangfeng ignored these small things at all. For him, there was no big difference between the place in Beijing from early to late. He originally planned to come to Beijing after finding the Ma family, and then he came to Beijing to inquire about the whereabouts of his parents, but after suddenly meeting Ji Buyu and knowing, he was not so anxious about other things.

These days, he just stayed in the house with Xiao Hu Li, either learning to read and write in a carriage, and bought a cloak for Hu Li on the streets of a certain town. When he met people on weekdays, he asked Hu Li to cover his ears and tail that were not completely transformed.

Even if you are not afraid of causing trouble, it is best not to let trouble come to you. One thing you can do is to lose is one thing you can do. Hu Li is a native of the demon clan. If you are exposed, you may cause trouble. If you can lose one thing you want, one thing you should lose one thing you can do.

After Yun Zangfeng's careful teaching and Hu Li's hard study, Hu Li has been able to communicate in the past few days and can understand a lot about what Yun Zangfeng said. Yun Zangfeng found that Hu Li actually likes reading books very much. After teaching some words, he always reads with books and is very fast, so they always have to buy some new books for Hu Li every time they go to a place.

When he walked to the vicinity of the capital, Hu Li could already read some more profound books. Sometimes Hu Li would ask Yun Zangfeng some questions: "Master, why...humans want to kill the goblins?"

Yun Zangfeng didn't know how to explain the problem to Hu Li. Hu Li himself was a monster, and monsters were not all bloodthirsty, and they were also as innocent and cute as Hu Li. However, many of human behaviors were not for the hypocritical reasons in their mouths, but for the ulterior motives deep in their hearts. Others were just excuses to cover up this desire.

I don’t know if Hu Li’s intelligence has become much higher after she becomes humanoid, and her speed of entry makes Yun Zangfeng amazed. This little fox girl took less than seven days to complete nearly ten years of study and work for human children. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as the word transformation.

But Yun Zangfeng was very dissatisfied with the fact that Xiao Hu Li always called his master. He didn't like the feeling of making himself superior. In Tianqi Peak, everyone is equal, and his respect for his master comes from the heart, not awe of his identity.

When he saw a superior like He Songtao who did not regard people as a human being, he became even more despised by his behavior of elevating himself. Xianyin once taught him that if a person has a high opinion of himself and takes himself to a very high position, it will not be easy to see himself clearly, and will unconsciously belittle others and make many mistakes. Yun Zangfeng deeply agrees with this.

Looking back, before Tianqi Peak, in the small mountain village in Yangzhou, in Qianjiao Pavilion in Jiangning County, and in Jiuxuanmen in Kunlun, almost few people treated him with an unequal attitude.

Only his love rival Ning You relies on his own that he is Wuchen's eldest disciple and targets him everywhere for Liu Wenqing.

He also told Hu Li not to treat him as his master. He didn't like this, but Hu Li agreed and did not change his actions at all. No matter who he was in front of, he always served Yun Zangfeng like a little maid, and he slowly started to take care of his food and daily life.

As a monster, he does not pay attention to the defense of men and women of humans. Every night, he will always run to Yun Zangfeng's quilt and wait for him. At first, Yun Zangfeng slept on the ground, Hu Li would follow him. Perhaps it was because she found a sense of security at Yun Zangfeng and smoothed out the grievances and injuries she suffered from the demon hunter.

Finally, Yun Zangfeng simply slept on the same bed with Hu Li, and even acted as if he was flirting with her, trying to scare Hu Li away, but Hu Li didn't understand these at all, and just stared at him with big eyes flashing. Hu Li thought that Yun Zangfeng liked to press on her, so she took the initiative to climb onto Yun Zangfeng's body and fell asleep. Yun Zangfeng was determined and tried hard to explain, so Hu Li was willing to sleep by herself, but she still refused to leave Yun Zangfeng's side.

After so long torture, Yun Zangfeng finally arrived in the capital.

In fact, after chatting with Ji Buyu that day, Yun Zangfeng also asked about his mother Jiang Yan's whereabouts. Ji Buyu did not tell him, but just asked him to find the answer after he arrived in the capital. He also said a lot of words that did not force him, which made Yun Zangfeng confused.

Walking through the city road, the houses on both sides were arranged neatly, and the shouts of hawking were endless. When entering the city gate, the guards of the city blocked their way, saying that the war was in a hurry now, and they were afraid that they were spies sent by the enemy country, so they actually wanted to take the opportunity to ask for some silver.

However, after the guards led by the city guards took out a token, they did not dare to speak anymore and let them go.

Passing through the streets in the city and walking into the second floor of the capital, further forward is the legendary Jiuwu City. Naturally, the convoy cannot pass through Jiuwu City to the north, so he turned north on the avenue on the second floor.

Along the way, many people recognized the carriage as the second prince. Some pretended not to see it, while others bowed to salute. Hu Li lifted up a corner of the curtain on one side of the carriage and looked out secretly, his eyes full of curiosity.

Yun Zangfeng asked Ji Buyu: "Brother Ji, the city guards at the city gate just now dared to ask the second prince for the benefit of passing by. When did the world become so unbearable?"

"Haha, Brother Yun is observing the situation. The royal family rarely goes out of the city because they are afraid of being kidnapped and doing things that are not conducive to the royal family. There must be a large number of guards following when they leave the city, all for safety. If there is really misfortune, the royal family will definitely abandon the car to protect the coach. This may be the sorrow of the royal family. So, it is normal for the officers and soldiers at the city gate to refuse to recognize my carriage." Ji Buyu said with a smile.

Yun Zangfeng said: "Don't change the topic, Brother Ji clearly knows that what I meant."

Ji Buyu gradually closed his smile and said, "That's nothing. There are dark things under the lamp everywhere. The work of guarding the city is tiring and hard, and there is still little money. If they don't take advantage of this, they will not accept it. If they want the horse to run, they have to eat grass for the horse. If many things can be turned a blind eye, they will actually pass."

Yun Zangfeng snorted and said, "False."

Ji Buyu said, "I don't think Brother Yun is actually such a pedantic person. Why can't you understand these things? If you don't let them take some benefits, why are they willing to stay in that position? If it's not them, who can guarantee the safety of the people in this city? Are you counting on the royal guards and personal guards of the royal family? They are only responsible to the royal family. So, as long as you don't oppress the people, just live by it."
