Less than half an hour later, the giant bird with black feathers and red crown rushed to the capital. Qin Mu looked forward and his heart was slightly shocked. He had already seen Jiangling City and was extremely shocked. The capital in front of him shocked him even more.
Gangneung City.
Gangneung Fortress was built on the Jinjiang River. The city was thirty feet above the water, making it a spectacular sight.
And this capital city is like a dragon-like mountain range, and it is not one mountain range, but nine mountain ranges.
Nine mountains crawling like dragons on the plains come together at the capital. The place where the nine dragons merge and the dragons gather is the capital.
This majestic momentum is first of all much greater than that of Jiangling City built on the Jinjiang River. It is no wonder that Emperor Yanfeng did not pay attention to the so-called Jiangling New City that cut off the dragon's veins and was built on the dragon's head. The capital was originally the supreme city of Nine Dragons.
Why should you care about Jiangling New City where the Yankang Imperial Guard is overwhelming one dragon?
Kowloon defends the capital, and there are four barracks thirty miles away from the capital. Each barracks is as huge as a city. There are eight market towns twenty miles away from the barracks. Although they are market towns, they can be compared to cities.
These eight market towns were built next to a large river. This river is the second largest river in Yankang State, Tujiang, with extremely convenient water and land transportation. The first largest river is Yongjiang, which starts from Daxu.
Although it is the second largest river, the Tujiang River is known as the Yankang Dragon Vein, which is an orthodox dragon vein, while the Jinjiang River is said to be a dragon vein. In fact, many people in the government and the public do not agree with this concept.
Qin Mu looked from afar and saw that the capital city where the Nine Dragons merged was extraordinary and worthy of being the place where the emperor ruled the world.
"The capital is actually hidden in the Soldier Mountain!" Qin Mu looked at the Jiulong Mountains in the distance and vaguely saw the atmosphere of war, and was surprised.
Several soldiers on the bird's back were equally surprised and looked at him one after another. One of them said: "Little brother, is there anyone in the army? He actually knows that there are soldiers hidden in the mountains."
Qin Mu did not answer. He could see that there were thousands of troops hidden in the Jiulong Mountains because of his Divine Sky Eyes. The blind man taught him the Nine Heavens Eye Opening Technique, which included the technique of hope.
The so-called "watching qi" means observing the luck of the qi.
In a place like the capital where large-scale troops are stationed, the spirit of war is used to suppress the fate of the empire, so naturally it cannot be hidden from his eyes.
The archers and cavalry sent them to the gate of the capital and then left. Qin Mu and Wei Yong checked the roads at the gate and walked into the capital. Naturally, the emperor's feet were extremely prosperous. Although Qin Mu had been to Jiangling City, the prosperity of Jiangling City had already
It was an eye-opener for him, and the capital was a completely different scene.
It is prosperous here, but there is no need for merchants to spend money. It is not only the accumulation of wealth, but also a cultural heritage.
The buildings here are very interesting, the stone lions on the streets are carved with exquisite techniques, the couplets on the doors of wealthy families are also very interesting, and the door gods posted on the doors of every house also have a wonderful feeling. It seems that these
The door god can really come to life and stop the demons and monsters.
You can know the writing by looking at the smallest details, you can know the spring and autumn by looking at a leaf, you can know the vast ocean by looking at the drop of water. Qin Mu looked around and knew the horror of this empire.
The village chief once said that Yankang Country was a country disguised as a sect, but now he knew how powerful this sect was!
"Does Brother Qin have a place to stay?"
Wei Yong invited: "If not, you might as well go to the Duke's Mansion to stay for a few days. When Taixue opens, we will go to Taixue to take the exam."
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have an old friend from my hometown in the city, and I'm going to join him. Brother Wei Yong, let's say goodbye."
Wei Yong had no choice but to give up and said: "When you settle down, you can order someone to go to the Duke's Mansion to inform me."
Qin Mu smiled and said: "Definitely. By the way, Brother Wei Yong, where is the brothel?"
Wei Yong looked strange: "I can't tell that Brother Qin is still a fashionable... elegant person. He likes this tone. The largest brothel in the capital is in Huaxiang. You walk in from Fenghua Street, turn right at the end, and then pass by
Three streets away you can see the Flower Alley. The best brothel in the Flower Alley is called Tingyu Pavilion, ahem, don’t ask me how I know, I’ve never been there... Take care of yourself!”
Qin Mu wondered, what is the purpose of going to a brothel? And what does it have to do with your health?
The two said goodbye.
Qin Mu took Hu Ling'er forward and walked along Fenghua Street.
"This is not a brothel..."
In the flower alley, Qin Mu looked at the buildings on both sides and wondered. The tiles here were blue, but the buildings were vermilion, and there were some lanterns hanging in front of the door.
"Little brother, come up and play!" Some young ladies waved to him upstairs.
"Mr. Mu, do you recognize them?"
Hu Ling'er wondered: "They were shouting very enthusiastically!"
"It was the same last time I went to Xianglong City. Some of the sisters were very enthusiastic. I'm not used to it."
Qin Mu walked inside, looking at the signboards along the way. The flower alley was very deep, with many twists and turns. Once inside, it was not so lively. The girl here was very reserved, leaning against the window with her pipa half-covered, her face lightly covered with pipa.
Play softly, cool and quiet.
Walking further in, the low sound of the piano came. Qin Mu looked into the open door and saw gauze fluttering in the yard. Several girls were running around among the gauze tents, and a woman was debugging.
The sound of the piano.
Walking further inside, some girls were practicing singing and dancing upstairs, and their bell-like laughter came from time to time, which was very cute and cute. But here, there were not so many pedestrians in the alley, and one or two men walked out of the yard from time to time.
, as if he were the male owner here, with a graceful woman tidying up his clothes and saying goodbye.
However, when the man walking out saw Qin Mu, he covered his face, as if he was afraid of being recognized.
Qin Mu wondered, it was not a scandal to come out of his own home, but he still had to cover his face?
"People in the city are so strange."
He walked deep into the flower alley and saw a building with the words "Tingyu Pavilion" written on it. The door of this pavilion was locked, but it seemed that the courtyard was deep and very quiet.
Qin Mu stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, he heard the sound of kicking footsteps and a girl's soft voice: "Coming, coming."
There was the sound of the door latch being opened inside, and then the door opened a crack. A girl poked her head out from behind the door. When she saw Qin Mu, she asked curiously: "Guest, who are you looking for?"
Qin Mu said politely: "Is Fu Qingyun here?"
The girl opened the door halfway and said with a smile: "Dare you ask the young master's name? I can go in and report."
"Tell her, my surname is Qin."
The girl closed the door again, and her footsteps faded away. She must have gone to report. After a while, the door opened again, revealing a familiar face. It was Fu Qingyun, the master of the brothel. Seeing Qin Mu, he couldn't help being surprised and happy.
: "The master is finally here! Come on, please come inside! Sisters, why don't you watch tea? The master is here!"
"Master has arrived?"
The girls' voices came from inside, very clear and chirping, like little spring birds chatting on the trees that had just sprouted buds. Qin Mu's eyes were filled with green, red, and purple dresses fluttering.
The girls in Tingyu Pavilion walked out one after another and greeted him, making him dazzled.
The girls in Tingyu Pavilion each have their own characteristics. Some are soft and fragrant, some are as cold as ice, some are delicate and charming, and some are as passionate as fire. It can be said that they are all charming.
Fu Qingyun said quickly: "Go away, go away! The young master is tired from the long journey, so don't pester the young master! Why don't you go and have tea soon?"
These girls dispersed like a group of butterflies. Some went to fetch the clear spring, some washed the saucers, and some lit green lamps to boil water. Qin Mu suddenly felt that the pressure was relieved a lot, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He led him to the Yage and said: "These girls are all in need of discipline. Don't blame me, sir. The outside is gradually becoming chaotic and dangerous. You should have encountered many changes along the way, right?"
Qin Mu smiled and said: "We did encounter some minor troubles, but fortunately we were safe. Inform the middle and higher-ups of the teaching and let them inform the Patriarch."
Fu Qingyun smiled and said: "The Patriarch has been waiting for the Young Master for a long time. In fact, the Patriarch has ordered us to let the Young Master go to see him whenever we meet him."
A girl came up to serve tea, secretly looked at Qin Mu, and giggled.
Qin Mu responded with a smile and wondered: "Sister Yun'er, where should I go to meet him?"
When the girl heard Qin Mu call Fu Qingyun Sister Yun'er, she giggled again.
Fu Qingyun glared at her, kicked her out, and said with a smile: "Of course I'm going to Taiyuan College to have tea with you, sir."
"Tai Xueyuan?"
Qin Mu was surprised. He picked up the tea cup but forgot to drink it. Isn't Taiyuan College a place for scholars to study? Why go to Taiyuan College to meet the young patriarch?
"Young Master, don't you know?"
Fu Qingyun smiled and said: "The Patriarch is the Grand Priest Jiujiu of the Imperial Academy①. He is an official of the third rank of the Yankang Kingdom. He is in charge of Taiyuan and naturally lives in Taiyuan. Although the Taixueshi of Taiyuan have the honorific title of disciples of the Emperor, they are
In fact, they are all disciples of our ancestors."
Qin Mu was shocked. All the scholars in the Taiyuan Academy were disciples of the young patriarch?
Imperial Master Yankang and Emperor Yanfeng actually dared to give this official position to the founder of the Demon Sect? Aren't they afraid that the tail will be too big to lose?
Fu Qingyun seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "The founder is playing in the world, and no one knows his true identity. In fact, he is a highly respected man. As early as the late emperor's period, he was already famous in the world as a worldly expert. He is very special.
Mysterious. Even the Imperial Master of Yankang once asked him for advice, and it was the Imperial Master of Yankang who vouched for him and allowed him to serve as the grand sacrificial wine for the Imperial Academy."
Note ①: The grand sacrificial wine of Guozi, an official position in the Tang Dynasty, is similar to the principal of the highest university.
