To Rule in a Turbulent World

Volume Three: Man Jianghong

In late spring, the capital is full of peach blossoms.

You Miao likes spring and autumn in the capital the most. Peach blossoms are flying in late spring, and maple leaves are like fire in late autumn. Unlike Jiangnan, there are catkins everywhere, flying around and sticking to the face, which can't be wiped off. In spring, it's so dazed, it's annoying dead.

The capital city has hardly changed from three years ago. The gates of the city are a bit dilapidated, carriages come and go, and some people stand at the gate crying.

Along the way, You Miao has seen many hungry people and set up tents outside the official road, but she didn't expect that the interrogation in the capital would be so strict.

"Where did you come from?" The captain of the guard took the customs clearance documents, and You Miao replied, "Liuzhou, you're here to catch the exam."

"Hey, I'm still a juren." The captain said, "Be safe when you enter the city. There is a curfew at night, so you can't move around."

There's still a curfew?You Miao thought to himself, there was no such rule in the past, and the captain asked the people behind him, "What about you?"

Zhang Wenhan glanced at him and handed over the paperwork, the captain said: "I'm also a recruiter, let's go in."

You Miao's servants rushed into the city, Chang Yuan turned around and said, "Master, where are we going now?"

"You go in." You Miao came out of the carriage and said with a smile, "I will drive with Li Zhifeng, Shaowei and you will follow me."

The corners of Li Zhifeng's mouth turned slightly, he took the noose, sat side by side with You Miao on the driver's seat, and said loudly: "Drive!"

The carriage passed through Zhongzhi Street, and the two houses in the capital seemed to have been renovated and were very prosperous, but in You Miao's eyes, they had a different taste.

"Do you remember over there?" You Miao patted Li Zhifeng on the shoulder and said, "Look there? The bamboo alley, which specializes in porcelain."

There is a three-story mansion on the right, Li Zhifeng smiled and said: "Remember, which way to go? Go through Dongshi?"

You Miao said: "Okay, let's go to the Imperial College first, and then go see my uncle in a few days."

The two cars passed Zhenglong Street first, and then crossed Qianqiu Bridge to the north of the city. A stream of green water passed through the city, and the surface of the water was covered with peach blossoms. The market was full of people, bustling with people. , are leaning on the bridge together looking towards the road.

"Yo." A girl smiled charmingly: "Even the driver is so handsome, but who is sitting in the car?"

You Miao was fooling around, stepped on the front of the car, looked at them sideways, but couldn't help laughing, and whistled: "Is that kid Li Yan not with you? Liu Shaling?"

A graceful woman in her twenties had a quiet appearance. When she heard this, she couldn't help but look at You Miao again, her brows were full of astonishment, and then she recognized him, and said in surprise, "It's you?!"

After three years of separation, You Miao looked indescribably chic, and smiled politely at her, and the carriage passed the bridge.Entered West Street.Many soldiers passed by along the way, and the security of the entire capital was much stricter than three years ago. You Miao just took a look and was noticed.

"Who?!" The patrolman rode over, so You Miao had to stop, and the soldier said bravely, "Where did you come from?"

You Miao showed the document again, but Bing Yong looked at Li Zhifeng suspiciously and said, "Where is this person?"

"My servant." You Miao said.

Li Zhifeng stared fixedly at the soldiers, and several people looked at each other for a while, discussing a lot, one person said: "Are you a barbarian?"

"No." You Miao said, "Gurong people."

"Why bring a dog Rong in!" The captain said, "Your name is You Miao, right? Let's go to Dali Temple."

You Miao became irritable and asked, "Why do you want to go to Dali Temple?"

The captain said: "The capital is investigating the barbarians, so as not to have spies sneaking in! Don't you understand?"

Li Zhifeng finally said, "I am a slave, and he bought me three years ago."

"What about the contract of prostitution?" The captain asked again: "How do you prove that he is a dog slave?"

You Miao was really angry, with anxious brows. Seeing that Li Zhifeng was silent, Li Zhifeng was very calm. He took off his shirt with his fingers, revealing the wolf tattoo on the back and the tattooed words on the side of his neck.

The soldiers stopped asking questions. The captain looked at Li Zhifeng, then at You Miao, and finally said a word.

"Take care of your slaves, don't cause trouble!"

After the person left, You Miao thought to himself, I will go to Nie Dan to give you a book when I turn around, and take care of the security so that you can't eat and walk around.Li Zhifeng watched them leave. You Miao was in a good mood, but immediately felt angry.

"Don't be angry." Li Zhifeng said.

On the contrary, it was Li Zhifeng who came to comfort him. You Miao's heart moved, and she turned her head slightly. The carriage turned into the alley, and the voices of people faded away. Li Zhifeng came over and kissed him lightly on the face.

"It doesn't matter what outsiders say about me, as long as you don't treat me as a slave."

You Miao felt a little more comfortable in her heart, and said, "I didn't regard you as a slave..." But Li Zhifeng's words seemed to move a string in You Miao's heart—if you don't regard Li Zhifeng as a slave, what should you do? ?

You Miao has never seriously thought about this issue, but she feels that she also regards Li Zhifeng as a family member, or a couple who depend on each other.But what about Li Zhifeng?What do you think of yourself as?

"Hello." You Miao moved his elbow and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Li Zhifeng had been in a trance, and now he said seriously: "I'm thinking about spies, are there any spies in the city?"

Li Zhifeng woke You Miao up with his words, and You Miao calmed down, remembering Sun Yu's teachings when he was parting, and he was no longer the ignorant child three years ago.Everything can't always go according to personal preference.

Are the spies of the Hu people in the capital investigating so well?Explain what?

"Is it going to war?" You Miao asked.

Li Zhifeng didn't speak, the carriage came out of the alley, and it turned out to be a secluded street. In the evening, there was almost no traffic on the street, only a few servants were cleaning the gate.

The Guozijian has been established for hundreds of years, and it is the place to control the national examination and selection. The main office is located on Sanqi Street, very close to the Six Departments. This is the academy established under the Guozijian, called Guozixue.The previous dynasty also called this place Taixue, so the students still called it Taixue. When You Miao was in Beijing in the past, he would go to Moxiangyuan here to study.

"You guys." You Miao got out of the car at the front and said, "Changyuan, you and Shaowei are going to Changlong West, take a car and go away, collect the shopping list that my uncle told you to buy, and go live tonight shop, come over tomorrow to say hello and go shopping. Just leave Li Zhifeng here to take care of you."

Changyuan and Shaowei bowed to answer, put the things in the carriage together, left an empty carriage, and drove away. You Miao said to Li Zhifeng again: "Go to the back here, bypass the Enclose the wall to find the backyard, park the car in the yard, and I will go to find Master Jiang right now."

Li Zhifeng hummed, and jumped into the car to unload the goods.

You Miao took Zhang Wenhan in. There were not many people in the school, and there were a few poor students who were dressed plainly.At dusk, most of them went to eat.There are thousands of students in the entire Guozixue. There is a large courtyard in the front, the school in the back, the library in the back, and the dormitory for the students in the back yard.
