Chapter 301 The Imperial City of the Former Dynasty (1)
Ying Yuansu followed and asked in surprise: "Can you really finish the 4,000 servings?"
"Yes." Chen Zhining nodded with certainty. Ying Yuansu shivered: "You monster..."
The two of them asked for a small private room on the second floor. Ying Yuansu originally wanted to call a few friends, but after thinking about it, he resisted it. Fortunately, there were several father and daughter in this building. The old man had superb piano skills and blind eyes, and the young man had a gentle voice and a pretty appearance. He came in from time to time to sing a paragraph, which was not lonely.
Chen Zhining was a little curious: "Why are the most grandfathers who sing?"
Ying Yuansu immediately became interested and analyzed it to him with a serene attitude: "There are many benefits, listen to me and tell you slowly."
First of all, the blind grandfather is so pitiful. In addition, a lonely granddaughter, the two of them depend on each other for the most sympathy, and there will be more. If someone wants to bully, he will be unable to bear it and can escape the disaster.
Then, if you really meet someone who is inferior to beasts, you really want to take advantage of your granddaughter. Even if you are blind, you can pretend to be invisible, hahaha!"
Chen Zhining shook his head repeatedly: "Your fallacy."
He was about to refute, but suddenly he saw through the crack in the door and saw a table in the lobby downstairs. A figure among them looked familiar. He frowned, sat down at the door, and looked down secretly.
Ying Yuansu was curious: "Have you met someone you know?"
"A alchemist was hired by my family." Chen Zhining nodded and replied.
There were several large tables in the hall. Due to angle issues, you could see several positions on a table from Chen Zhining's private room. Tan Buyi sat in it, but just like when he was at the Chen family, he sat with his neck tightened and was indifferent to the various bold words of his classmates around him.
Ying Yuansu came over and took a look and said, "It's people from Qixingtang. Look at their clothes and embroidery on their chests."
Chen Zhining had long noticed that these people were wearing the same style, black and brown long gowns, with the pattern of the Big Dipper embroidered on their chests.
Chen Zhining used his skills and ears a little and heard what everyone was chatting below.
After a moment, he smiled, and did not deliberately eavesdrop on him. He turned back to correspond to Yuansu and said, "Come on, let's have a drink."
A group of "classmates" from Qixingtang gathered together. The content of the chat was about interesting things about learning art back then, and the other was about boasting about the achievements they had made over the years.
Some have been promoted step by step in the Yudan Hall and have been ranked in the fifth rank. Some have served as the chief manager in the Lingdan Workshop and have dozens of low-level alchemists under them. Some have already gained a foothold in the ancient families and are highly valued by the head of the family, and have a vague intention of recruiting a son-in-law.
Anyway, everyone is doing well. The only possibility that Tan Buyi is not talking is that he is.
On the entire table, no one deliberately broke into Tan Buyi. Since he was learning the arts, Tan Buyi was the worst one. Now everyone has been going their own way for several years, and Tan Buyi is still the worst one.
No one will step on him because there is no need. If you really step on him, it seems that among all your classmates, you only seem to be better than Tan Buyi...
Ying Yuansu didn't care about that much, picked up the cup and clinked it with Chen Zhining: "Do you want to go to Xiaoyu Xiaozhu after dinner? I heard that there were a few demon girls there, who could do various difficult movements, which was much more fun than teasing Chaihuo Niu who was singing here..."
Chen Zhining was helpless with this guy. No matter what topic he was talking about, he could finally summarize it into the next three ways.
"Who is going to tease the singing girl here?!"
Ying Yuansu smiled and raised his glass and said, "Do you go? I'll take you tonight to see the world of flowers in the night of the capital!"
Chen Zhining shook his head: "No." He couldn't help but miss Song Qingwei and Chao Yuner. Why haven't these two girls returned to the capital yet? Are they really planning to graduate from Tianhuozhou Prefecture?
"No, I'll ask the teacher tomorrow." He made a secret decision.
Ying Yuansu curled his lips to him: "Coward, if you don't go, don't go. Let's go directly to that place after drinking."
Chen Zhining asked: "Where is it still mysterious?"
Ying Yuansu raised a finger: "Shh! Sigh, that place is forbidden area!" Chen Zhining raised his eyebrows, and Ying Yuansu quickly waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I won't harm you."
"But you want to take me to the forbidden area of the capital!" Chen Zhining said in a deep voice.
Ying Yuansu curled his lips again: "There are too many forbidden areas in the capital, and there should be the most unattended forbidden area."
Chen Zhining was even more curious: "Where is it?"
Ying Yuansu whispered: "The former imperial city."
...
Ying Yuansu originally planned to drink vegetarian wine first, then flower wine, and finally go to that place. However, Chen Zhining cut off the most anticipated part of Ying Yuansu, so the two of them could only drink until night. Ying Yuansu was already scared: "I can't drink you, I can't drink anymore, my brother, otherwise I won't be able to take you there today..."
Chen Zhining smiled slightly and poured himself into his own drink.
When the two came out of the Banquet Building, the stars were all over the sky. Ying Yuansu looked up at the sky and burped a big hiccup, and he was already 70% drunk. He waved his hand hard at Chen Zhining: "Let's go, let's take you to see it tonight! It is said that the leaders of the previous triad battles have appeared in that place."
Chen Zhining knew why he liked to go there.
The two got into the carriage. The coachman had just driven the carriage and walked out not far, a noise came from behind, and a group of people walked out of the banquet building.
These people were obviously drunk and didn't pay much attention to their words. They said goodbye to each other and then got on the carriage.
Most of their carriages are from the north, and they may not be the most luxurious one, but they are also valuable.
Chen Zhining looked back and saw that everyone was wearing a black and brown gown from Qixingtang. In the lively atmosphere, Tan Buyi stood alone behind.
"Wait a minute." He shouted, and the carriage stopped, just in a dark shadow.
When everyone else left, Tan Buyi waved his hand. His carriage came over, but it was just an ordinary carriage prepared by the Chen family, which was just for transportation.
Those former classmates said goodbye enthusiastically, even had a good relationship, or who had a good future value, had to hug each other and patted each other hard on the back, but intentionally or unintentionally, almost everyone forgot Tan Buyi.
Only one of the classmates who left the last time seemed to be embarrassed, and smiled slightly, waved his hand at him, and got in the car.
Tan Buyi was really used to it. He got into the car and said lightly "Go back".
When the carriage passed by Chen Zhining, he stopped shouting: "Tan Buyi."
When the coachman saw that it was his young master, he quickly stopped the carriage. Tan Buyi did not expect to meet Chen Zhining here. Thinking that the scene just now must have been seen, he was a little embarrassed: "Young Master."
Chen Zhining didn't say much: "If you ran to the capital back then, it was really to be the worst one, then I don't care. If not, you come to me tomorrow morning."
He didn't need Tan Buyi to answer, so he closed the car window and ordered: "Let's go."
In the car, Ying Yuansu looked at him with a smile: "Why, I want to train one by myself? Hi, I want to tell me why you have to be so troublesome? Isn't it enough to ask my grandfather to find you a few good qualifications from the official slaves? He is capable and obedient."
Chen Zhining shook his head slightly, and he couldn't understand these things as Ying Yuansu explained.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
Ying Yuansu felt the wine surge, leaned against the cushion and closed his eyes to rest, saying casually: "Yuan came home."
"Yuan Chuan?" Chen Zhining was surprised. Yuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan was one of the gates of the inner city. It was not that he wanted to go to the imperial city of the previous dynasty, so why go to Yuan Chuan?
Ying Yuansu hummed and said, "You will know when you arrive."
At this time, the inner city gate had already been closed and was under high alert. However, Chen Zhining gradually approached Yuan and found that it was not deserted.
There are huge palace lanterns on the city gate, which use the magic weapon to activate the magic weapon to shine, making the city gate and the city wall shine brightly. Of course, this is to prevent someone from sneaking into the inner city at night, but a carriage comes from under the city gate from time to time. After the people in the carriage get out, they walk into the city gate hole, but the city gate does not open.
Chen Zhining pushed Ying Yuansu, and he woke up and looked around: "It's coming so soon? Let's go in."
Chen Zhining followed him out of the carriage, and Ying Yuansu found a general who was guarding the city: "General Bai, it's me. I bring a friend here today."
The general was facing a great enemy. Chen Zhining saw that the magic weapon armor on his body had been activated, and there were several large magic weapons hidden in the shadow behind him.
He glanced at Chen Zhining and asked, "This is a big name for Gao?"
"Chen Zhining." He said lightly.
General Bai was solemn and gestured respectfully: "Please, Mr. Chen."
Ying Yuansu was dissatisfied and whispered to Chen Zhining as he walked inside: "You can participate in the three major competitions, and it is indeed more popular than me."
When Chen Zhining arrived here, he saw that there was a small door in the city gate. He had not paid attention to it when he passed by here before. Now the small door with red paint peeling is open, and a small lamp is hung on the door frame, illuminating the passage behind a little, not facing up but down.
There are two cultivation warriors guarding the gate, both of which are at the peak of Xuanrong Realm, and they are only one step away from reaching a desperate situation.
They did not stop him. Ying Yuansu should go down first, and Chen Zhining followed him in. The passage was very narrow, and it could be seen that the surrounding walls had been strengthened by formations.
Chen Zhining finally couldn't help asking: "The imperial city of the previous dynasty is underground?"
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Ying Yuansu shrugged: "You have also seen the imperial city of our dynasty. It is a building that integrates the dragon veins and luck with the dynasty, which has far exceeded the function of ordinary buildings.
When the last emperor of the previous dynasty lost his power, the world was full of heroes to compete. Our dynasty Taizu fought for 600 years, and finally flattened the entire Taiyan and then attacked the capital.
The previous dynasty resisted stubbornly, and finally a shocking battle was the entire imperial city. Our dynasty Taizu built a new city on it in order to suppress the fortunes of the previous dynasty forever.
