Chapter 970 Arriving at the Imperial Capital for the First Time
"The virtue of kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by a scholar!"
Liang Shicheng knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted Wang Chen: "It's hard to repay in this life, but in the next life you will be knotted with a ring of grass!"
Behind him, there was a pretty young woman and a young child kneeling.
Wang Chen stretched out his hand to lift him up, and said with a smile: "Don't run around anymore when you go back. The world is not peaceful. Just stay at home and spend time with your family."
Liang Shicheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with shame: "Shicheng should keep his teachings in mind!"
In fact, there is no need for Wang Chen to remind him that after returning to his hometown this time, he does not plan to leave again for the rest of his life.
Otherwise, you may not be so lucky next time!
Wang Chen waved his hand: "Go."
After he destroyed the lair of the Qingfeng Bandits and plundered the wealth accumulated by this powerful group over the years, he took Liang Shicheng, his wife and children down the mountain.
Wang Chen spared the old, weak, women and children of the Qingfeng bandit, and of course he would not attack the unlucky guy like Liang Shicheng who was forced to leave the family.
In line with the idea of doing good things until the end, he also accompanied Liang Shicheng's family of three to wait for a business group heading south.
Tianlu is an important thoroughfare between the north and south of Daliang. There are many business travelers coming and going. However, to ensure safety, they basically form large groups to travel.
Under normal circumstances, passing business groups will not accept stranger travelers on the way to prevent thieves and spies from sneaking in.
But Wang Chen revealed his identity and gave the leader of the business group a sum of money to escort Liang Shicheng's family of three to Dingzhou.
Even if this matter is completely resolved.
Riding on the yellow gelding, Wang Chen continued his journey north.
For the rest of the journey, he traveled non-stop day and night, only stopping to rest when his horse was tired.
During this period, Wang Chen did not encounter any obstacles or troubles. After running out of Shiwanda Mountain, he passed through two major counties and finally arrived in Gyeonggi.
There are still three days left before the day of meeting the Saint.
The yellow gelding lost more than ten kilograms from running.
Daye, the imperial capital of Daliang, was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Over the past three thousand years, five dynasties had established their capitals here, leaving behind countless stories and legends and a huge city.
After Daliang established Daye as its capital, it expanded this majestic city, built four acropolis, and diverted the water of the Canglan River to connect the rivers, setting up a large-scale pilgrimage pattern of the four auspicious signs of Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu and Suzaku.
It is said that the entire Gyeonggi area has 1.75 million households and a population of more than 10 million. Daye City has more than one million households. No matter in terms of number or scale, no one in the entire Cangqing Realm can match it.
Daliang was founded five hundred years ago, and 70% of the best people have gathered here. The level of prosperity is self-evident!
The road leading to Daye City is criss-crossed on both sides, with manors and villages dotted all over the place. Pedestrians and business travelers on the road are like crucian carps crossing the river, causing congestion.
Especially the few miles in front of the city gate were once blocked, so Wang Chen could only lead the yellow gelding forward little by little, and it took a full two hours to get through the gate and enter the city.
Not to mention the bustling scene in Daye City!
When Wang Chen was in the local prefecture, he saw the decline of a dynasty.
The officials are greedy and despised, making the people's livelihood difficult, and demons are causing trouble and causing chaos in the world.
However, when I arrived in Daye, I felt completely different. The prosperity of my luck was like flowers cooking oil in a brocade fire!
Moreover, Wang Chen also realized that the moment he entered Daye City, his own Qi was extremely subtly involved with the imperial capital, and there was a power blessing him from somewhere.
According to regulations, Wang Chen first reported to Yiluan Division.
The Yiluan Division is divided into internal and external divisions. With Wang Chen's current status, he is naturally not qualified to enter the inner headquarters.
He went to the Foreign Affairs Department.
After a series of identity checks, Wang Chen met Liu Chaozong, the deputy commander in charge of the Yiluan Foreign Affairs Division!
Liu Chaozong was about forty years old, with a dignified appearance. He received Wang Chen in the meeting hall, and his attitude towards the latter was gentle with a hint of indifference and cold arrogance.
The deputy commander didn't say much to Wang Chen. He just explained the things that needed to be paid attention to when meeting the saint, and then summoned a blood-clothed guard Baihu to accompany Wang Chen to the post house to rest.
After Wang Chen left, Liu Chaozong sat motionless in the meeting hall, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, a white-faced, beardless man with a feminine temperament quietly appeared: "Mr. Liu?"
Liu Chaozong suddenly woke up, stood up and said, "Eunuch Li."
Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Have you met that boy? How do you feel?"
His voice was very high-pitched, which made people feel uncomfortable.
But Liu Chaozong's reaction was a little strange. He hesitated before replying: "I can't see through it."
"Um?"
Eunuch Li was very surprised: "You can't even see through such a young guy?"
As the deputy commander of the Yiluan Foreign Division, Liu Chaozong is at the peak of the fifth-level martial arts. His strength is at the forefront of the entire Blood Clothes Guard system. Many people are optimistic that he will break through to the sixth level within ten years!
The most important thing is that Liu Chaozong's cultivation is not achieved by magic pills. He is a real warrior who has fought a hundred battles.
It's incredible that a person like him can't see through a teenage boy!
"That's right."
Liu Chaozong smiled bitterly and said: "His aura has reached the fifth level, but it cannot be explored and locked. It is probably because he possesses secret techniques or secret treasures that interfere with my spiritual sense."
"interesting!"
Eunuch Li smiled: "If there is a chance, the Za family would also like to meet this little guy."
"This is very simple."
Liu Chaozong said: "I will make arrangements."
"Not in a hurry."
Eunuch Li waved his sleeves and said, "Let's wait until he meets the saint before we talk."
Liu Chaozong nodded silently.
At this time, Wang Chen, who had already walked out of Yiluan Foreign Affairs Division, did not know what happened after he left. He came accompanied by the man from Baihu and checked into a nearby post house.
This post house was set up by the Yiluan Division specifically to entertain Xueyiwei officials who came to Daye. Not only was the location very good, but the facilities inside were also very good.
Because Wang Chen holds the title of General Guard of Qianhujia Demon Suppression, he occupies a small courtyard by himself, with maids and servants at his disposal.
But Wang Chen didn't care about these. After settling down, he didn't care about the fatigue of the journey. He took a servant who was familiar with the environment of Daye City and went around some of the busiest streets.
The next day, Wang Chen started a crazy shopping spree alone.
Several big trading houses in Daye City became the focus of Wang Chen's patronage. He spent a large amount of gold and silver to buy various precious medicinal materials. As long as the goods were good, he didn't care about the price at all!
In just two days, Wang Chen became the number one customer of these firms, and his reputation quickly spread in the business circles of the imperial capital.
Many people know that there is a big benefactor from other places, and he is only in his teens!——
