"Yes, but it is a legend. We have never opened it."
Belloya looked back at Zalissa and said.
Zarissa nodded slightly and did not continue.
Long Chen didn't want to ask any more questions about the Western Region. It had nothing to do with him.
"I'm a little tired, please take a rest with me."
Long Chen stood up, and Belloya immediately said: "Yes, as ordered."
Zalisa remained silent behind her, and Lacanon immediately trotted to open the bedroom.
Belloya walked in front, Long Chen entered the bedroom, Lacanon made the bed and closed the door.
Long Chen opened his hands, and Belloya helped Long Chen put away his clothes, then slowly took off his headdress, and then took off his golden dress.
Women from the Western Regions are different from people from the Central Plains. Beloya has white and delicate skin, a high nose bridge, her own eye shadow, and brown hair, which gives her a unique style.
After putting the clothes away, Belloya climbed into bed and lay down, waiting for Long Chen.
...
South of the capital city.
Two horses came slowly, and sitting on them were two men, Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai.
After receiving permission, they set off from Jinling.
He crossed the river, then rode on horseback, all the way north to the capital.
They did not bring any entourage. The trip to the north was very dangerous, so they decided to go alone.
At first, Li Xiannan suggested sending someone to monitor, but Baili Bing said it was not necessary.
It can be seen that both of them are family-oriented. Their families are all in Jinling, so there is no need to monitor them at all.
There was an endless stream of pedestrians and business travelers at the gate of the city. Hu Feiyang said: "They say Jinling is prosperous, and this capital city is not bad either."
When they came to the capital for the first time, they felt a little shocked.
Nanliang is a big country, and Jinling has been a prosperous place since ancient times. People living in Jinling think that other places are rural.
Only when I arrived in the capital did I realize that this place was no worse than Jinling.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Qiu Kuohai was also very curious and wanted to go into the city to have a look.
There were soldiers guarding the city gate, but they let people into the city without searching.
Xixia and Nanliang were both destroyed, and the world was unified. There was nothing worth searching for.
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai also did not carry weapons.
Entering the city, the streets are busy with traffic, and there are special guards cleaning horse manure along the way. There are rows of buildings on both sides, and the shops on the streets are very busy.
There are not only people from the Central Plains, but also many businessmen from the Western Regions.
“What a prosperous place.”
Qiu Kuohai sighed.
Hu Feiyang was a little hungry and said, "Let's find a place to eat. We'll go there when we're full."
He didn't want to go to Long Chen's house to have a meal, and neither did Qiu Kuohai.
The two sat down at a stall on the street, and the boss asked: "You two, what do you want to eat?"
Hu Feiyang took a look and saw noodles and fried pancakes.
"Two bowls of noodles, is there any fish?"
Hu Feiyang wanted to eat fish noodles, but he was not sure if there was any fish.
There is a big river outside Jinling City and there is no shortage of fish and shrimps, but it is hard to say here.
The boss smiled and said: "There is some fish and meat, fish from Quanhu Lake, do you want it?"
Qiu Kuohai said: "Let's have two bowls of fish noodles."
The boss immediately cooked two bowls of fish noodles.
Hu Feiyang took a sip of the soup and said, "It's not bad, fresh."
Qiu Kuohai took a bite, nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."
After the two of them had eaten, they sat on the street and watched the passers-by.
"Your guest is from Nanliang, right?"
When the boss saw that the two of them were not leaving after eating, they started chatting.
Hu Feiyang nodded and said: "Yes, this is my first time in the capital. Your place is really lively, not worse than Jinling."
The boss smiled and said: "Sir, I have been to Jinling City. Jinling was indeed more prosperous than our capital in the past few years."
"Since King Wu came, our capital has become more prosperous."
Qiu Kuohai felt that the boss was bragging and said, "What does the prosperity of your capital have to do with Long Chen?"
When the boss saw Qiu Kuohai calling Long Chen by his first name, he was a little unhappy and said: "Sir, what you said is wrong. King Wu invented briquettes, spirits and other things. There are more businesses in the capital, and everyone has money.
Life has been better."
"Especially now that the imperial treasury has money, we don't have to pay taxes. Don't underestimate me. I can save 30 taels of silver in taxes a month."
Hu Feiyang said in surprise: "Your noodle stall charges 30 taels per month?"
The boss said with some pride: "We have a small business, not much, other people have more shops."
"Besides, King Wu destroyed Xixia, and more businessmen from the Western Regions came to the capital. We have made money in the past two years."
"In the final analysis, the Holy Emperor has the foresight to choose King Wu as his consort, and we have destroyed Nanliang. Good times are yet to come."
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai felt uncomfortable after hearing this, so they gave the money and rode towards Prince Wu's Mansion.
Everyone in the capital knows where Prince Wu's Mansion is, and they can tell by just asking.
When he arrived at the door, Hu Feiyang looked up and couldn't help but said: "It's the same as Long Ye's mansion."
As members of the Five Tiger Generals, they know best what Long Ye's mansion in Jinling City looks like.
Qiu Kuohai couldn't help but sigh: "Things have changed and people have changed. I remember when we were officials in the same dynasty and fought together, but now..."
Now Long Chen is the mighty and powerful king of the Zhou Dynasty, and they have become ministers of subjugation.
It's really touching.
"Who are you? Is something wrong?"
A boy about 10 years old with a tiger-like head stopped and looked up at the two of them.
This boy is Zou Kai. He now lives in Gongsun Yun's house all year round and occasionally comes back to Long Chen to practice martial arts.
Gongsun Yun looked at Zou Kai like a great-grandson and doted on him very much.
Long Chen was very strict, so Zou Kai avoided him.
Hu Feiyang glanced at Zou Kai and asked, "Who are you?"
Zou Kai looked displeased and said, "You don't even know me, what are you doing here!"
Zou Kai is Long Chen's adopted son, and everyone in the capital knows him.
Zou Kai felt that since these two people didn't know him, they must not be familiar with Long Chen either.
Qiu Kuohai squinted his eyes and looked at the boy in front of him, and said with a cold smile: "What a big tone. Who are you? We must recognize you?"
Zou Kai ignored it, walked straight into Prince Wu's Mansion, and said a few words to the guards inside.
Two female guards came out and asked Hu Feiyang and the others, "Who are you two and why are you staying here?"
Hu Feiyang said: "I, Hu Feiyang, would like to see King Wu."
The guards have been at Prince Wu's Mansion and are not familiar with the generals of Nanliang, let alone met them.
Moreover, there are so many people with the same name and surname in the world that even if you have heard their names, you would not recognize them.
"Have you made an appointment with the adults?"
The guards didn't know Hu Feiyang, but seeing that they both had good temperaments, they couldn't just drive them away.
If you really agreed with Long Chen, it would be difficult to drive him away, so you should ask clearly first.
Qiu Kuohai was a little impatient. Long Chen had a high status and he was not just an unknown person. When he got here, he was actually being questioned repeatedly, which made people uncomfortable.
"We have agreed, you just need to inform us."
Qiu Kuohai said this, one guard stayed to watch, and another guard immediately went in to report.
Entering the courtyard, he found He Juntao. The guard told him what had happened. He Juntao found out about it and immediately walked out and said, "Go to Jujin Hall to invite the Lord back to your home."
When he arrived at the door, He Juntao smiled and said: "Two generals have traveled a long distance. Thank you for your hard work. Please come inside."
The female guard immediately went to Jujin Hall, and the other female guard retreated.
Hu Feiyang chuckled and said, "It's really difficult to get into Prince Wu's Mansion. I was questioned repeatedly."
He Juntao said with a smile: "My subordinates are ignorant, don't blame the two generals."
The Five Tiger Generals of Nanliang were once famous, but now they are nothing.
He Juntao gave them both face because of Long Chen, not because of their identities.
"Please invite the two generals."
He Juntao walked in front, Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai dismounted and entered.
Zou Kai saw it in the yard and wondered: These two people really know their adoptive father? Then why don't they know about me?
