Half an hour later, the giant black-feathered red-crowned bird rushed to the capital. Qin Mu looked forward, his heart trembling slightly. He had already seen Jiangling City, and his heart was extremely shocked, and the capital in front of him shocked him even more. Jiangling City.
Jiangling City was built on the Jinjiang River. The city is thirty feet above the water, which is magnificent.
And this capital city is on a mountain range like a giant dragon, and it is not one mountain range, but nine mountain ranges.
Nine mountain ranges crawling like dragons on the plains converged at the location of the capital, where the nine dragons converged, and the place where the dragon prime ministers gathered was the capital.
This kind of majestic momentum, first of all, surpasses Jiangling City built on the Jinjiang River by a lot. It's no wonder that Emperor Yanfeng didn't care about the so-called Jiangling New City truncating the dragon's veins and building it on the dragon's head.
Nine Dragons guard the capital, and there are four barracks thirty miles away from the capital. Each barracks is as huge as a city. There are eight market towns twenty miles away from the barracks. Although they are market towns, they are comparable to cities.
These eight market towns are built next to a big river, which is the second largest river in Yankang Kingdom, the Tu River, and the water and land transportation is extremely convenient. The first great river is the Yongjiang River, which originates from Daxu.
Although it is the second largest river, Tujiang is known as the Yankang Dragon Vessel, which is the orthodox dragon vein, while the Jinjiang River is said to be the Dragon Vessel. In fact, many people in the ruling and opposition parties do not agree with this concept.
Looking from a distance, Qin Mu saw that the capital city where Kowloon and Dragon merged was extraordinary, and it was worthy of being the place where the emperor ruled the world.
"The capital is actually hidden in the mountains!" Qin Mu looked out at the Nine Dragons Mountains, and was surprised to see the aura of war.
Several soldiers on the bird's back were also surprised, they looked at him one after another, and one of them said: "Little brother, is there someone in the army? They even know about the hidden soldiers in the mountains."
Qin Mu didn't answer. He was able to see that there were thousands of troops hidden in the Nine Dragons Mountains because of his divine eyes, and one of the techniques of opening eyes in the Nine Heavens taught to him by the blind man was the technique of hopeful energy.
The so-called hope is to watch the luck.
In places like the capital where large-scale troops are stationed, the spirit of war is used to suppress the luck of the empire, so naturally it cannot be hidden from his eyes.
The bow and arrow cavalry sent them to the gate of the capital and left. Qin Mu and Wei Yong passed the guides at the gate and entered the capital. The foot of the emperor was naturally extremely prosperous. Although Qin Mu had been to Jiangling City, the prosperity of Jiangling City had already disappeared. It opened his eyes, and the capital is another scene.
It is prosperous here, but there is no negligence of merchants, not only the accumulation of wealth, but also a cultural heritage.
The houses and buildings here are very tasteful, the carving techniques of the stone lions on the street are also very elegant, the couplets on the doors of the big families are also very interesting, and the door gods on the doors of every house also have a wonderful feeling. The door god can really come alive to stop demons and ghosts.
You can know the book by seeing the small things, you can know the spring and autumn by looking at a leaf, and you can know the sea by watching the dripping water. Qin Mu looked around and knew the horror of this empire.
The village chief and the others once said that Yankang Country was a country disguised as a sect, and now he knows how powerful this sect is!
"Does Brother Qin have a place to stay?"
Wei Yong invited: "If not, you might as well go to the Duke's Mansion to stay for a few days. When the Taixue opens, we will go to the Taixue to take the exam."
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have old acquaintances from my hometown in the city, and I'm going to join him. Brother Wei Yong, let's leave now."
Wei Yong had no choice but to give up, saying: "You settle down, you can order someone to go to the Duke's Mansion to inform me."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Definitely. By the way, Brother Wei Yong, where is there a brothel?"
Wei Yong's face was strange: "I can't tell that Brother Qin is still a... elegant person, I like this tone. The largest brothel in Beijing is in Huaxiang. You go in from Fenghua Street, turn right at the end, and then pass three You can see Huaxiang from the street. The best brothel in Huaxiang is called Tingyu Pavilion, ahem, don’t ask me how I know, I’ve never been there... Take care of yourself!"
Qin Mu wondered, what's the point of going to a brothel? And what about the body
The two said goodbye.
Qin Mu led Hu Ling'er forward, walking along Fenghua Street.
"This is not a brothel..."
In the flower alley, Qin Mu looked at the buildings on both sides, wondering. There are blue tiles here, but the buildings are vermilion, and there are some lanterns hanging in front of the door.
"Little brother, come up and play!" Some young ladies waved to him from upstairs.
"Master Mu, do you recognize them?"
Hu Ling'er wondered: "They shouted very enthusiastically!"
"It was the same when I went to Xianglong City last time. Some sisters are very enthusiastic, I'm not used to it."
Qin Mu walked in and looked at the signboards along the way. The flower alley was very deep, with twists and turns, and it was not so lively inside. The girls here were very reserved, leaning against the window with the pipa half covered, and gently Play lightly, and swallow coldly.
Going further inside, the low sound of the piano came, Qin Mu looked into the open door, and saw light gauze fluttering in the yard, several girls were running around between the light gauze tents, and a woman was debugging piano sound.
Going further inside, some girls are practicing singing and dancing upstairs, and crisp laughter can be heard from time to time, very playful and lovely. But there are not so many pedestrians in the alley here, and one or two men come out from the yard from time to time, as if they are the master of the place, and a graceful woman arranges clothes for him, and bids farewell to him.
It's just that the men who came out from the inside covered their faces when they saw Qin Mu, as if they were afraid of being recognized.
Qin Mu wondered, it's not a shame to walk out of his own home, so why cover his face
"City people are so strange."
He walked to the depths of Huaxiang and saw a building with the words Tingyu Pavilion written on it. The door of this pavilion is locked tightly, but it looks like the yard is deep and very quiet.
Qin Mu stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, he heard the sound of tapping footsteps, and a girl's soft voice: "Come, come."
There was the sound of the door being pulled open, and then the door was opened a crack. A girl poked her head out from behind the door, saw Qin Mu, and asked curiously, "Guest officer, who are you looking for?"
Qin Mu asked politely, "Is Fu Qingyun here?"
The girl opened the door halfway, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the young master's name? I can go in and report."
"You tell her that my surname is Qin."
The girl closed the door again, and the sound of her footsteps faded away, probably to report. After a while, the door opened again, revealing a familiar face, it was Fu Qingyun, the hall master of the brothel. Seeing Qin Mu, he couldn't help being surprised and delighted: "Young master is finally here! Hurry up, please come inside! Sisters, please wait!" Don't want to watch tea? The young master is here!"
"Is the son here?"
The voices of the girls came from inside, very crisp, chirping like little spring birds chatting on a tree that has just sprouted buds, Qin Mu's green, green, red and purple dress fluttered, The girls in Ting Yu Pavilion came out one after another and greeted him, making him dazzled.
The girls in Tingyu Pavilion have their own characteristics, some are soft and fragrant, some are as cold as ice, some are delicate and charming, and some are as passionate as fire.
Fu Qingyun hastily said: "Go away, everyone go away! Young Master is exhausted after a long journey, don't pester Young Master! Why don't you hurry to see tea?"
These girls dispersed like a group of butterflies, some went to fetch the spring, some washed the saucers, and some lit green lamps to boil water. Qin Mu suddenly felt that the pressure had been relieved a lot, and he was relieved. Fu Qingyun led him to the Accord, and said, "These girls are undisciplined, so don't blame me. It's getting more and more chaotic outside, and it's a bit dangerous. You should meet someone along the way." Have there been many accidents?"
Qin Mu smiled and said, "It is true that we encountered some minor troubles, but fortunately, there is no danger. You inform the middle and high-level members of the teaching, and let them inform the patriarch."
Fu Qingyun smiled and said: "The patriarch has been waiting for the young master for a long time. In fact, the patriarch has already told us that whenever we meet the young master, let the young master go to see him."
A girl came up to serve tea, secretly looked at Qin Mu, and giggled.
Qin Mu responded with a smile, wondering, "Sister Yun'er, where should I meet him?"
The girl giggled again when she heard Qin Mu call Fu Qingyun Sister Yun'er.
Fu Qingyun glared at her, kicked her out, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I'm going to the Tai Academy, my lord, drink tea."
"Tai Academy?"
Qin Mu was surprised, picked up the teacup but forgot to drink it, isn't Tai Academy a place for scholars to study? Why did you go to the Tai Academy to meet the young patriarch
"My lord doesn't know?"
Fu Qingyun said with a smile: "The patriarch is the Grand Priest of the Imperial College, the third-rank official of the Yankang Kingdom, in charge of the Imperial Academy, and naturally lives in the Imperial Academy. They are all disciples of the patriarch."
Qin Mu's heart was shocked. Are all the grand masters in the Taiyuan Academy the disciples of the young patriarch
Yankang Guoshi and Yanfeng Emperor dare to hand over this official position to the founder of Tianmo Sect? Aren't you afraid that the tail will not fall off
Fu Qingyun seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "The patriarch plays games in the world, and no one knows his true identity. In fact, he is a highly respected old man. He was already famous in the world as early as the first emperor's time. Mysterious. Even Yankang Guoshi once asked his old man for advice, and it was Yankang Guoshi's guarantee that he would let him be the grand son of the Imperial Academy."
Note: Guozi Dajijiu, an official position in the Tang Dynasty, is similar to the principal of the highest institution.
