Now that he had speculated that this place might be the splendid world of a TV series or Geng Mei's novel Xinghan, Xie Yu couldn't help but be excited.
Along the way, Xie Yu traveled very quickly, even though he had to eat and sleep in the open air without any delays.
When I first left the border county, someone learned from a gold and silversmith that Xie Yu had obtained a lot of gold and silver, and he was carrying it around with him.
Suddenly he got red eye disease, and good people turned into robbers.
Xie Yu used their lives to teach them the principles of life, and paid for more than a dozen miscellaneous horses. After finding a nearby town to dispose of them at a low price, Xie Yu gained another fortune. Why bother!
Later, road bandits occasionally intercepted the road. A man dressed as a poor man gave them two arrows and fled in all directions.
Xie Yu didn't pursue him when he saw it, knowing that this was a special product of society and could not be killed.
It took more than one day for Xie Yu to finally arrive in the capital.
I checked the documents and looked at Xie Yu's large and small bags. Although he had some military rank, he was only a low-level officer in the end, and he paid a lot of money for the city entrance tax.
Xie Yu was too lazy to take a rest, waiting for Chen all the way and just wanted to have a good rest!
However, I bought two meat patties and asked a few people who could complain about the accommodation, meal and fodder fees at the inn.
Xie Yu comforted the three Longxi horses, which had lost a lot of weight, and secretly shouted: "It's not that I don't want to complain, it's really hard to live in Kyoto. Let's go, I will take you to eat free good food. I won't deal with it this time."
As the weather gets cooler, there is less grass and feed for the horses on the road, so Xie Yu has no choice but to lower their food standards.
No wonder the ancient Central Plains dynasty could not afford to support large-scale cavalry. The cost of fodder was a huge expense.
Compared with horses, people still prefer to raise cattle, donkeys, and mules.
Randomly "catch" a young man who is somewhat martial and elegantly dressed, and inquire about the residence of Major General Ling Buyi, the newly appointed deputy lieutenant of Guang Luxun, the son of Chengyang Marquis Ling Yi.
Now among the dignitaries in Kyoto, who doesn't know how much His Majesty the Emperor favors this adopted son, who originally looked down upon Xie Yu's savage attire?
As soon as he heard that Xie Yu was Ling Buyi's old subordinate, he not only left a name tag for Xie Yu, but also Cheng Song.
Xie Yu raised his eyebrows and secretly exclaimed: "How about such a coincidence."
He said: "Cheng Song? What is your relationship with the family of Hou Cheng Shi in Xinfeng Pass?"
The noble young master obviously did not expect Xie Yu to ask such a question, which shows that this wild man does not keep a blind eye on matters in Kyoto.
"As expected of Ling Buyi's old subordinate."
Then he said: "That man is my father. If you have some free time, brother, you can come to Kaicheng Mansion to visit."
Xie Yu slightly cupped his hands and said, "I am Xie Yu. Thank you very much for the invitation."
Originally, Xie Yu wanted to ask the daughter-in-law of Guannei Marquis Cheng Shi, who should be Cheng Song's sister, if she was really called Cheng Shaoshang.
But then I thought, it would be too abrupt to ask this girl when we first met.
There is a long way to go, so there will definitely be opportunities.
So, following the instructions of the city song, everything was deserted, with occasional sergeants patrolling the streets of the county. These must be the mansions of the high-ranking officials and nobles of the dynasty. Each one was built taller and more majestic than the other.
Sure enough, it is the top zone that controls social resources.
After thinking about it, it would be great if I could buy a house in this place, but I don't know if the gold soldiers included in the package are enough.
In other words, if the gold cake is enough, the qualifications are not enough.
It seems that I will have to work hard to kill enemies in the future. I heard that if you have enough military achievements, the emperor will reward you with a mansion.
By the way, I heard that this dynasty placed great emphasis on women. Not only could they be officials, but they also had the right to inherit.
Everyone also takes pride in seeking to marry women with the five surnames of Bohai Gao, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Zhaojun Li, Fan Yanglu and raising their family status.
Otherwise, have a soft meal and eat it hard.
But thinking about the slave scars on his body and his bald head with no hair or eyebrows, Xie Yu could only give up on this path.
Sighing…
"Ling Mansion..."
There was also a black-armored guard at the door, reminding Xie Yu that he was there.
After handing over the door sticker, the original gatekeeper thought that Xie Yu was just another one who wanted to make connections. Since Xie Yu was unreasonable, he was ready to press Xie Yu's door sticker first.
However, at this moment, three black-armored guards who were out on business came out of the mansion.
When one of them saw Xie Yu, he was in a daze for a moment, then stared at it carefully.
Suddenly, he walked out.
This is too rare in the mansion of General Ling, who has a neat military appearance.
After all, Major General Ling Buyi manages the Ling Mansion according to the requirements of military law and discipline.
This Ling Mansion is just a small military camp.
Seeing that his teammates were so rude, the sergeant who was handing the door to pass immediately wanted to stop him.
But it was already too late. The man shouted: "Yishi Xie, is it Yishi Xie? You have come to the capital too. That's great, that's great."
Xie Yu hesitated and said: "You are!"
This person said: "Sir Xie, have you forgotten that you saved my life twice on the grassland, once with a barbarian arrow? If you hadn't kicked me, I would have been gone!"
"Another time, after I was stabbed, if it weren't for your superb medical skills and you used sheep intestines to make threads to sew me up, I might have suffered a puncture in my intestines."
Xie Yu: "Oh, my feelings are yours. Seeing that you look good, I feel relieved."
Xie Yu was in a trance, remembering that there was this person, but it was really a dangerous war at that time, and he was always being surrounded by enemies. There was no tomorrow for him today.
In fact, Xie Yu couldn't confirm that he could survive, so he remembered the names of a few people. He should not be among them.
This person: "By the way, Xie Yishi, why are you coming to Ling Mansion today?"
Xie Yu: "The Major General wrote me a letter, and the Taiwei Mansion asked me to return to the capital to report on my duties, so I'm here now."
"Letter from the Major General? Taiwei Mansion..."
"That's great, Xie Yishi, I think we can really work together in the future."
Xie Yu also smiled and said: "I have a good relationship and it is an honor for me to serve the Major General. I think if the Major General hadn't saved me from danger at that time, I might have died quietly as a slave!"
Unexpectedly, Xie Yu actually said that she had been a slave.
The other sergeants looked at Xie Yu with complicated eyes for a moment.
There is sympathy, ridicule, and contempt.
This man really admired Xie Yu's openness and directly handed over his hand: "Xie Yishi, I would like to be your messenger, please wait for me for a while."
After saying that, he ran towards the Ling Mansion.
After a while, Lieutenant General Liang Qiufei came out happily.
Seeing Xie Yu, she even smiled and said, "Xie Yu, you're here earlier than expected."
Then, he noticed Xie Yu's dusty career.
"What are you doing, idiot? Bring Xie Yu and his brothers to the house."
"Brother Xie not only saved me three times, but also saved a major general. I don't dare to neglect him."
Hearing what Lieutenant General Liang Qiufei said, other sergeants came over to help.
Thank you, I don't mean to use these sergeants in vain, but to work with them.
Mainly gold cakes, gold cakes.
It's not that Xie Yu doesn't trust people, money and silk are very attractive to people, but as a close brother, when it comes to design, he also...
The human heart cannot be tested.
Drinking horse feed is worthy of the Major General's Mansion. This fine feed is definitely prepared for war horses.
The horse enjoyed the meal.
Liang Qiufei naturally knew horses. Looking at the three gluttonous and thinned horses, he couldn't help but said: "Xie Yu, you are abusing them. They are hungry. You don't even have the money for horse feed."
Bar!"
"I remember that the village chief's salary is two hundred dan. Are you getting married?"
Xie Yu: "It's better to be hungry. I'm walking alone all the way. They are hungry and thin, so the journey will be safe!"
Liang Qiufei: "Really?"
"Forget it, after the horses eat, people also need to eat. I asked the gang leader to arrange some food for you. After you eat, wash up well so that you can meet the major general."
"This is in the capital, not on the grassland. The young general is a strict man, you should know that."
Xie Yu: "I understand".
But, after eating a big meal and freshening up.
I changed into a set I bought at a clothing store on the road. It was second-hand and it seemed to be a good fit for Guan Nei people.
After all, the scenery in the capital is different from that at the border, so you should pay attention.
