As the sun sets, the tall capital lies across the horizon, and the city walls stretch for ten miles, majestic and ancient, with the momentum of breaking through the clouds.
A man in strong suit galloped on the official road on a horse, with a tall figure and a heroic figure. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed his side face golden, showing the spirit of a heroic and chivalrous spirit.
"Wow—"
As soon as he pulled the reins, the sandstorm and dust raised from the horse's hooves fell. Zhang Wu stood quietly outside the city with a big black bag on his back and looked at it for a moment, feeling a lot of emotion.
As a time traveler, I have no sense of belonging to this era and the Dakun Dynasty.
But I have to admit that it is this city that has made me who I am today.
I have been wandering outside for seven years. Today, when the king returns, I no longer have to be afraid of my hands and feet, fear of wolves and tigers.
After a while of emotion, Zhang Wu led his horse to the city gate, and there were soldiers guarding the city routinely interrogating them.
He handed over the identity disc and the road guide prepared in advance. The young man guarding the city opened it and looked at it. He immediately widened his eyes, took a few steps back in shock, covered his mouth and nose and said in a daze:
"Are you from Yongchang City?"
As soon as this statement came out, all the people who had been queuing up in front of the city gate were panicked and dodged, as if they had seen the plague god.
Zhang Wu knew why people were like this, but he asked with a calm face:
"I came from Yongchang City, are there any problems?"
"Your Majesty has an order that merchants, relatives, visitors, etc. from Yongchang County have nothing to do with business and are not allowed to enter the capital!"
The city gate captain came out and shouted with a serious expression:
"There are six other joint documents. Those with illnesses and suspected of carrying plagues are taken to the disease site for isolation. Those who are dissatisfied with the management will be taken to the cemetery outside the city and will be filled with land!"
Zhang Wu was speechless.
Emperor Jing Hao's edict was obviously only directed at civilians, and those who have official duties remain unhindered.
No matter where, no matter how cruel the epidemic is, or how many bones there are on the roadside, it has little impact on the powerful and powerful people.
Zhang Wu took off the big bag behind him, scaring people to retreat again, and the soldiers guarding the city were also facing a great enemy.
He reached into the bag and touched it for a while, but it was really difficult to untie the bag in front of everyone and reveal his responsibilities.
"What do you want to do?"
The city gate captain changed his color and was about to wave to everyone, but he saw Zhang Wu take out his seventh-rank official seal, causing his questioning to come to an abrupt end and his face solidified.
After a moment, the captain asked carefully:
"Sir, are you from the Punishment Division?"
Zhang Wu nodded lightly and said:
"Don't worry, I'm strong and not sick."
"Sir, you are majestic, how could you be sick?"
The city gate captain offered a touch of compliment, waved his hand to signal everyone to get out of the way, and personally escorted Zhang Wu into the city.
The epidemic has had an impact on all aspects. The capital was extremely prosperous seven years ago. Although there are shouts of hawking now, it is not as lively as before. The pedestrians on the road are obviously sparse, and people's livelihood is a bit declining.
Found a horse house and stored the sweat-blooded BMW. Zhang Wu walked all the way to his ancestral home in the east of the city.
After passing through the slightly cold alley, the blue bricks on the corners of the walls were covered with moss. Looking up, the old house is still there.
He had already lost the key to the door lock and jumped onto the neighbor's roof... No, it should be said that his roof was bought by Cheng Gou and gave it to someone on the left and right sides of the old house.
No one has lived in it for so long, and the house of the neighbors has been dilapidated. The yard is overgrown with weeds and ruins. It is a clean and refreshing blue brick floor of its own ancestral home. It has been renovated and brand new doors.
Sharp contrast.
Zhang Wu habitually checked whether there were any traps. He hit the ground with a palm from the air. The energy collapsed and dust rose everywhere. He made sure that the yard was normal and then he jumped down.
The door of the house was not locked, but just put on the door bolt, put on silver wire gloves, and pushed the door in.
The house is as new as new as people.
Uncle Zhan’s letter was still on the table.
On September 1, the third year of Jinghao, Tang Zhan arrived.
The fourth year of Jing Hao... The ninth year of Jing Hao...
During these seven years, Tang Zhan has come to his old house every month and swept the house spotlessly.
Zhang Wu looked at the letter with a complicated mood, but he felt very warm.
It is obvious that Uncle Zhan has been able to hold on for so many years that he has long guessed that he is not dead.
Wang Reagan's body in the clinic can deceive others, but cannot deceive Tang Zhan, a family of imperial doctors.
But even if you are clear that you are not dead, how many people can reach the level of Tang Zhan?
Although I only come to sweep the yard every month, this kind of thought and concern is hard to buy.
You know, if your parents die, they will only be mourning for three years.
Three years later, you will only remember it occasionally. Apart from the Qingming Festival, you will visit the graves on a routine basis and visit your parents, how many people can you?
Even parents and relatives are like this. Tang Zhan has no blood relationship with you. To do this, he can afford the word "friend".
Zhang Wu sighed a long time, and was moved by his heart:
"We should protect the Tang family for a hundred years!"
I was thinking about it all, and taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, I went out to buy some rice and flour and other essential things in my life.
He jumped into the broken room in the next yard and grabbed a skinny mouse, preparing to use it for testing the poison.
The Grandmaster is not invincible. Many poisons can kill you. Be careful and you won’t be wrong.
During this period, Zhang Wu learned that although Liu Qing died, the Shadow Guard did not disband and was still operating in an orderly manner.
It seemed as if a mastermind behind the scenes was controlling the Liu family's shadow guards and taking over the power left over from Liu Qing.
With many doubts in his heart, Zhang Wu walked straight to the headquarters of the Fushi Office.
In Yongchang City, Uncle Six is very busy and has no time to talk alone. Now that he returns to Beijing, Zhang Wu has to ask many things clearly.
When he saw the government office of the Fushi Office from afar, a majestic figure was waiting outside the gate of the mansion.
The Zhenfu Department's eyes were spread all over the capital, and the great masters entered the capital, and their importance was as great as the sky and the earth. Ma Liu naturally knew it as soon as possible.
"Here I'm back."
Uncle Liu was wearing a purple-red silk garment and a three-inch-wide golden strip around his waist. He had a kind of awe-inspiring demeanor, which was more like a leader than Jiang Tianhe in the Tianzhuo.
Zhang Wu nodded and replied:
"Let's take a walk and see the night view."
"good."
Ma Liu nodded in response with a smile, looking at Zhang Wu's increasingly mature face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Twenty years later, the child finally became a towering tree.
There are not many things I can do for him.
The two walked side by side on the street, facing the gentle evening breeze, and the stars in the night sky were dotted. Suddenly, they hadn't walked together like this for many years.
Zhang Wu asked with concern:
"Uncle Six, have you taken the antidote to the Demon Spirit Pill?"
According to his estimate, Uncle Six must have eaten. Only by relieving his loyalty to the Xiao royal family will he awaken in one go, beyond the limits of his ministers, and become the Duke of the State.
However, Ma Liu took out a handful of Qi Practice Pill and said:
"I didn't eat a single Qi training pill that the royal family has praised over the years."
