"Haha, Mr. Tang, you don't have to be polite. This little thing is nothing compared to your life-saving grace." Yue Qianyang waved his hand and continued: "It's a long way, why don't Brother Tang come here?
Would you like a cup of tea in the tent?"
Liang Yan knew that he intended to make friends with him, and also thought that he really needed some connections in the capital, so he nodded and agreed.
The two of them sat down separately in the tent, while Ah-Dai stood behind Liang Yan without saying a word, just standing with his hands behind his hands, his expression indifferent. Although he was tall, he did not have the muscles of an ordinary martial arts practitioner, except that his shoulders were slightly wider.
Otherwise, there is nothing surprising about it.
Normally, Yue Qianyang would never even look at this person, but after what happened just now, Ah-Dai was like a god of murder in everyone's eyes.
"It's inconvenient to drink while on business trip. Brother Tang, Mr. Yue would like to offer you tea instead of wine!" Yue Qianyang picked up the tea cup and raised his glass to Liang Yan to invite him.
"Brother Yue, you're welcome!" Liang Yan also picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.
"Brother Tang, I think you are a very powerful guard!" Yue Qianyang first praised, and then sighed: "Our Jinding Chamber of Commerce has business all over the country of Yue, and in these years, I have not recruited anyone who can compete with Lixian Corporal.
A hero comparable to Dumb."
Liang Yan smiled slightly when he heard this and did not answer his words. Instead, he asked about things in the capital.
Na Yue Qianyang was very talkative and his words were quite funny. The two of them just chatted for a while, and Liang Yan already had a general understanding of the appearance of the capital.
Today's emperor is called King Wu. This man is civilized and military. Since he came to power, he has not only recovered the lost territory before, but also expanded the territory of Yue to an unprecedented level.
He was strict with internal laws, and all merits must be rewarded, and demerits must be punished. He abolished the prime minister, and governed the world with six ministries, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishments and the Ministry of Works. These six ministers were under the emperor.
the highest authority,
In addition, there is also the Tiantian Surveying Department, which monitors the world on behalf of the emperor and is independent of the six departments. Although it has only been established for less than ten years, it has repeatedly solved strange cases and is now deeply trusted by the emperor.
Yue Qianyang talked eloquently, and Liang Yan was even more willing to listen. The two of them held a candle in the tent and talked at night, like old friends for many years, until midnight.
"It turns out that there are so many interesting stories in the capital. Tang has learned a lesson!" Liang Yan cupped his hands towards Yue Qianyang and said, "It's getting late today, so Tang won't disturb Brother Yue's rest."
Yue Qianyang smiled slightly and said: "It is a great blessing for Yue to get to know Brother Tang. Why bother? But it is indeed getting late today. Brother Tang should go back and rest early. After this incident, we
We have to hurry up tomorrow."
Liang Yan nodded, turned around and left Yue Qianyang's tent.
In fact, how could he not know that the corpse path monk who came to attack the caravan today was probably targeting this yellow-faced boy. Combined with this man's conversation and the attitude of the caravan guards towards him, he could naturally guess that his identity was different.
generally.
In the past, Liang Yan would not have been willing to get involved in such worldly matters, but now that he had a mission and didn't know the capital of Yue at all, he had some thoughts of making friends.
He returned to his tent, had a brief conversation with Ah-Dai, and asked about the situation of the corpse path monk from before. He stopped talking and closed his eyes to meditate.
In the early morning of the next day, the guards of Jinding Caravan woke up the merchants who were still dreaming early, whipped their horses and started on their way.
After this attack, the Jinding caravan seems to have sped up its journey. Unless there are special circumstances, they will never dismount and camp. They only eat the dry food they carry with them and no longer hunt for food. And they only select some.
Hidden alley, do not take the official and commercial road.
Another half month passed like this, and just when the merchants accompanying the team were getting a little tired, they suddenly heard a guard in front of the team shout loudly: "Climb over the mound in front, and you can see the royal capital!"
Everyone was in high spirits after hearing this. Some people even cheered loudly in the carriage. Liang Yan also opened the curtains and looked forward.
As the motorcade climbed onto the mound, a majestic city appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone climbed up to look at it. Looking down at the past, they realized that the majesty of this royal city was by no means comparable to any other city in Yue Kingdom. Even Liang Yan secretly thought in his heart: "With the size of this city, I'm afraid
It is more than ten times larger than Zhiyuan City in Wu State!"
Someone even shouted in the car: "I, Lao Li, have been doing business for decades in my life and only hung out in some remote towns. Now I am lucky enough to see the royal city. It is a life well spent!"
After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and some praised what he said was right. However, no matter what the wealthy businessmen on the car said, the motorcade always moved forward slowly without stopping at all.
This section of the road was actually not short. Everyone saw the capital from a distance in the early morning, but when they arrived at the gate of the city, it was already evening.
The convoy had customs clearance documents from the Jinding Chamber of Commerce. Although the guards at the city gate inspected them strictly, they quickly let everyone into the city after verifying the documents.
"I have arrived in the capital. I don't know what brother Tang has planned next. Do you need me to arrange accommodation for you?" Yue Qianyang walked to Liang Yan and asked with his hands in hand.
Liang Yan smiled slightly and rejected Yue Qianyang's kindness. He only said that he still had a few friends in the capital and was going to visit them this time.
"That's all." Yue Qianyang sighed softly, took out a yellow token from his sleeve, handed it into Liang Yan's hand, and said solemnly: "If Brother Tang has any difficulties in the capital, you can
Take this token and go to the Jinding Chamber of Commerce to find me. As long as you do what you can, I will definitely help you!"
Liang Yan did not hesitate, took the token, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Then Tang will accept this thing, and I won't have to go to the house to chat in the future."
"Haha!" Yue Qianyang seemed very happy. He reached out and patted Liang Yan on the shoulder, and laughed again: "We are waiting for Brother Tang to come. I will definitely let you try the special wine of our Jinding Chamber of Commerce!"
The two greeted each other politely, made a drinking appointment, and separated after entering the city.
Speaking of which, the capital city of the Yue Kingdom was indeed a hundred times more lively than any other city Liang Yan had seen before, especially the Zhuque District where he was currently located.
After King Wu ascended the throne, he divided the capital into five areas. Among them, the Zhuque District was mostly populated by merchants and ordinary people, so it was the most lively place with a mixture of three religions and nine streams.
Liang Yan was silent, and Ah-Dai beside him was also a dull gourd. The two of them were walking through the bustling market, but they seemed a bit out of place.
However, they were not just tourists. After walking through several streets and turning into a remote alley, Liang Yan arrived at the destination of his trip.
I saw an old courtyard in front of me, with a red wooden door in the courtyard, and a plaque hanging on the wooden door.
