Sword comes

The team of sword immortals on the Imperial Road, passing through the Thousand-Step Corridor, truly has the spirit of a hundred mighty rivers flowing in the world.

The sword cultivators walking next to Xiaomo and Xie Gou all liked to tease Chai Wu. Either Mi Yu advised her not to be nervous, or Jiang Shangzhen asked her if she had drunk any alcohol before going out. Chai Wu was indeed nervous. If she had known, she would have drunk two or three liang of wine before going out.

Ning Yao squinted his eyes, looked up and glanced at the sun in the sky.

According to custom, when His Majesty the Emperor attends court meetings, he will first rest for a while in the large hall behind what the people commonly call the Golden Throne Hall.

But today, Emperor Song He was waiting early in front of the gate that serves as the boundary between the palace and the imperial city. He wanted to break the court convention and walk into the hall with the new imperial teacher.

Although the streets were deserted, there were lazy people who were used to waking up late. They were awakened by the deafening shouts, turned over, covered their heads with the sheets, and grumbled and cursed. There were also those who deliberately closed their doors, or scholars who were secretly compiling history. They were not energetic without a drink. Or there were white-collar literati who were always dissatisfied with the court. They didn't care who was the national teacher. After all, he was just an official who was paid by the emperor. There were also some people from other countries with special identities. They gathered in twos and threes, and were speechless. These secret agents were ready to withdraw from the territory of the capital. The Dali Criminal Department was closing the net. Maybe it would be today, or at the latest the next day or the day after tomorrow?

Many monks from other continents who happened to travel here would not consider Aquarius Continent when they traveled before, let alone make it their first choice. They knew the importance of the "roll call" better than the people in Dalijing City. Because they knew the old almanac, outside of Zhongtu Shenzhou, a continent could have two ascended at the same time, such as Liu Tui and Yang Qiangu in Fuyaozhou, which was enough to attract attention. In addition, the Fire Dragon Master in Beijuluzhou, Liu Jubao in Aiaizhou, Qinggong Taibao Jinghao in Liuxiazhou, Du Mao in Tongyezhou, which old ascended was not the pillar of the mountains and rivers of a continent? Look at Aquarius Continent, a Dalijing City, how many fourteen realms, how many ascended? What's more, can the immortals and jades of Jianqi Great Wall be as important as those on Haoran Tianxia?

It is no wonder that Liu Tui said that as long as there was no rebellion against the Confucian Temple, he and Tianyao Township would

Liu Tui got the "nothing to do" card, hid his body, restrained his breath, and patrolled the streets and private houses in the capital. He didn't care what your family background was, what your family name was, and he was wild and had no taboos. He thought for a while, and then he went out of his Yang spirit to visit his Yin spirit and went to the capital.

In the busy streets, an old man who came from afar looked at the almost motionless crowd on the street, still far away from the imperial road. After learning about the celebration from the special report sent by the court to the gods of mountains and rivers, the old man immediately rushed to the capital. But he did not ask anything from Luopu Mountain. If the new national teacher is Chen Pingan, it's fine. If not, what's going on.

The old man is Song Yushao, who had long since retired from the martial arts world. His grandson Song Fengshan and his granddaughter-in-law Liu Qian also followed their grandfather to Beijing. Liu Qian's earliest apparent identity was one of the four evil spirits of Shushui Kingdom, but in fact she was born as a spy of Dali. By chance, she is now the mountain goddess of Jingling Mountain in Shushui Kingdom.

But they had not expected that the capital city of Dali would be so crowded today, with huge crowds of people. The descriptions of people with sleeves flying like clouds and sweat pouring down their faces in the books had always seemed exaggerated when they had read about them before, but today they truly witnessed it.

Liu Qian really didn't want the old man to make a wasted trip, even though she knew the possibility was slim, she still said, "Grandpa, I have some connections with several officials in the Ministry of Justice, can you help us move to another place?"

If someone else had been the Grand Master of Dali, it would have been fine. We could just listen to the excitement, but it was still exciting. But if it was really him, even if we didn't see him today, we could still see him at a dinner table in the future. The old man was open-minded and smiled and waved his hand, "That's not necessary."

Liu Qian was still hesitant. Song Fengshan held her hand, smiled and shook his head, saying that there was really no need to do so and she should just listen to grandpa.

At this moment, a man with an unremarkable appearance walked through the crowd without leaving any trace and asked in his heart, "Is it Liu Qian, the goddess of Jingling Mountain?"

Liu Qian nodded.

He first handed Liu Qian a first-class free card from the Ministry of Justice, and then told her his surname and identity in his heart. Liu Qian didn't show it, but she was shocked in her heart. She was actually a first-class Dali priest? She asked softly, "I wonder why Zhao Gongfeng wanted to see me?"

This time she left the mountain god temple after going through layers of review and inspection, and finally was able to hold a jade talisman specially made by the Dali Ministry of Rites and issued by the Zhongyue Inspection Office, with the seal "wading through water" engraved on it. There was no other way. The water god crossed the border to climb the mountain, and the mountain god waded through the water. The procedures were so cumbersome and had to be followed according to the rules. The Zhao Gongsheng had a very good attitude and said in a gentle manner: "If Mr. Song is willing to climb the height, I can take you to the top of the imperial city."

Song Fengshan was very surprised. It seemed that his grandfather still had face. For most people, climbing to the top of the outer city wall was just a dream, let alone the top of the imperial city wall.

Song Yushao was a little hesitant. Could it be that Chen Ping'an knew his whereabouts from somewhere and asked the court to make an exception?

Old people are always afraid of embarrassing others.

Just like Jingling Mountain got a rare A grade in the last landscape assessment, the comments were very good. The old man was always a little worried, and finally couldn't bear to ask about something, and even didn't want to ask his grandson Song Fengshan indirectly. Was it really because of Chen Pingan? In the end, it was Liu Qian and Song Fengshan who found out that the old man was worried and took the initiative to mention it. It was really not. The old man was relieved. Of course, he also said some heartfelt words to them. At that time, the old man drank a little bit of wine and was a little tipsy. He said that if you really encounter difficulties in the future, I, as a grandfather, will talk to Chen Pingan without hesitation. In addition, grandpa still hopes that you can have a gentleman's relationship with Chen Pingan, and you don't need to ask him for help in your life. You are just friends...

That Zhao Gongfeng was not only the top Gongfeng of the Ministry of Justice, but also a royal Gongfeng of the Song family of Dali. However, there was no need to bring up this identity. He smiled and said, "Mr. Song, don't worry. It was His Majesty's idea to invite you to the top of the city wall. He not only circled it himself, but also made additional comments in red. His Majesty also asked me to tell you that today I am really busy with work and I hope I can forgive my poor hospitality."

Song Yushao just clasped his fists with Zhao Gongfeng, and the old man didn't say anything polite or polite. Zhao Gongfeng smiled and nodded in greeting.

Liu Qian and Song Fengshan looked at each other. Being able to climb up to the top of the city wall to watch the celebration was already a great surprise. His Majesty's kindness to them was even more unimaginable.

Because Zhao Gongfeng is a member of the royal family, he knows more inside information. For example, the emperor not only knows the name "Song Yushao", but also feels grateful to this old man from Shushui Kingdom, just because the new national teacher, the former young ranger, once said something publicly beside the old man during the confrontation on the battlefield.

It was precisely because of that sentence that it had a great influence on the decision-making direction of His Majesty the Emperor at that time.

After climbing up to the top of the city wall and walking for a distance, Zhao Gongsheng stopped and saw a table with several plates of fresh fruits and Beijing cakes and snacks. It had nothing to do with luxury, but the meaning behind it was something that Song Yushao, even though he was just a man of the world, could understand.

Song Yushao clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhao, just keep busy. We will never move around without permission."

Zhao Gongfeng was not polite and nodded. He did have many matters to look after personally. He clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I am sorry for neglecting Mr. Song."

Song Yushao stood on the top of the city wall and looked towards the Imperial Road. The old man recalled many old things, and the last thing he remembered was that sentence.

"Dali Chen Ping'an is here!"

----

The second largest Xianjia Inn in Beijing is located in Chongdefang in the inner city. Most of the people who have bought houses here are middle-level officials of Dali or wealthy people. The inn is actually the property of Dong Shuijing, the real boss behind the scenes. There is a high-rise building with a formation set up in the inn to conceal people's presence. It is almost as high as the family library of several wealthy families in Beijing. It is said that Dali Capital has not allowed private construction of high-rise buildings for many years.

If big money was brought from the previous life, Dong Shuijing must have done a lot of good things in his previous life.

Liu Xianyang and Gu Can, who came from Fuyao Island, met here. They are from the same hometown, and Dong Bancheng felt embarrassed to accept their money.

In fact, Dong Shuijing, who was in the capital, personally received them yesterday and arranged the best room for them. Dong Shuijing accompanied them throughout the entire process, including dining and visiting temple fairs. However, Liu Xianyang was surprised to find that no one in the inn recognized Dong Shuijing at all. Liu Xianyang did not feel sorry for the wealthy Dong Bancheng for spending a lot of money in vain, but he felt very sorry. If everyone recognized Dong Shuijing, wouldn't he be able to walk around the inn with ease? It would be like having a line of words engraved on his forehead: Your shopkeeper is my close friend!

Gu Can said that this was where Dong Shuijing was smart. Liu Xianyang didn't bother to ask how he was smart or what it meant to be smart.

At this time, Liu Xianyang held the back of his head with both hands, sat on the railing, and looked at the scene of the Imperial Road from afar.

Gu Can put his hands in his sleeves and stood quietly aside. He was not as casual as the great swordsman Liu.

Anyone who can appear in the corridor of this high-rise building is destined to be either extremely wealthy or a prominent figure on the Aquarius Mountain.

They all looked at Liu Xianyang with sidelong glances. Regardless of whether they recognized who he was or not, no one said anything, let alone took the initiative to talk to him.

Gu Can recognized the identities of most of them, such as Helian Baozhu from the Invincible God Fist Gang. She had a handsome young man next to her, the leader of a martial arts sect, with a mysterious background. It was said that he was rich enough to rival a country. It was rumored that he was a close friend of the eldest prince of Dali. And the unshaven man was Gao Jianfu from the Shen Gao Sect. He looked listless and unusually unremarkable. This man and He Xiaoliang were once recognized as the golden boy and jade girl in Aquarius Continent, but unfortunately, fate played tricks on them and they were not destined to be together. A Fu family member from Laolong City was chatting with an old teacher from the Yunlin Jiang family about his experience with a certain elementary school book.

Liu Xianyang tapped his heels lightly on the railing and said, "Look how arrogant he is. I'm so jealous."

Gu Can said calmly: "It's a hot summer day, and it's like walking on thin ice. Why are you so sour?"

Liu Xianyang curled his lips. “Thirty years ago, who could have imagined that? Even if we add up the copper coins in our three pockets, could we have done that?”

Gu Can said slowly: "Rich people are divided into different levels, and poor people are divided into different levels. You have never been truly poor in your life, unlike us."

Liu Xianyang smiled and said, "I just feel that I will have money to spend tomorrow and I won't be hungry, so I'm not afraid."

Gu Can still repeated the same sentence, "You are different from us."

Liu Xianyang laughed angrily, “You have many ideas, and he has many thoughts. I have a wide range of eyes and a broad mind, and you two money-grubbers can never learn that.”

Gu Can said with a smile: "People who are unreasonable often seem to make the most sense when they talk about reason."

Liu Xianyang said, "You are making a lot of sense now."

When he was a child, Gu Can saw that the world was full of bad people. On the other hand, Liu Xianyang saw that everything seemed to be trivial.

As for what Chen Pingan saw and thought, it was probably the old saying: life is unpredictable.

Not far away, a young man with soft eyes and eyebrows sneered, stretched out his hand to hold the railing, and whispered: "The court is so complicated to dispatch, from the six central ministries to the local county government, openly and secretly, how much manpower, material resources and financial resources have been mobilized, isn't it a waste of money and manpower? Is it really necessary? Is it really necessary?"

The old man at the side shook his head and twirled his beard, saying, "Two account books, one imaginary and one real. You only talk about the real paper account book. There is some truth in that, but it is biased."

Liu Xianyang had sharp ears and raised his chin towards that direction, but Gu Can ignored him and turned a blind eye.

The young man still insisted on his own opinion. "The court must be respectable and at the same time deter the despicable people. Sir, I understand the reason."
