Kyoto, also known as the capital and imperial city, is the highest administrative center of the country.
The name of Kyoto in the Snowy Land of Beizawa is "Anqing", which means long-lasting peace and prosperity. It is a high-end city that integrates commerce, politics, military and culture. Its prosperity is one of the few on the Qingcang Continent and is the most prosperous city on the Lingqi Continent.
Apart from the Central Plains region, it is the most prosperous and wealthy city!
As the first big city in the northern countries with a population of more than three million, Anqing's prosperity and richness have attracted the attention of countless people.
In addition to the residents, royal family, dignitaries, soldiers and servants, the total number of foreign businessmen, envoys and students in the city is as many as 100,000. Therefore, Anqing, which has survived for 800 years since its establishment, is praised by the world as "
The Pearl of the North!”
As usual, today's Anqing is equally lively and bustling, with busy traffic inside and outside the city gates, and various vehicles and pedestrians waiting to enter Anqing in an orderly manner. The only difference is that the officials guarding the city gates have changed into full uniforms at some point.
Armed soldiers.
There were about 200 of these heavily armed soldiers, guarding the three entrances and exits of the West City Gate, checking on the people waiting to enter and exit the city one by one.
Faced with such a huge formation, pedestrians talked about it one after another, but did not dare to say anything. They could only queue up by the city gate and wait to enter or exit.
After more than ten minutes of chatting, it was Lin Shuhang's turn and others to enter the city.
A sergeant guarding the city waved his hand and shouted to the second son who was driving: "Next! Hurry up!"
"Hey!" Erzi responded and hurriedly pulled the carriage over.
As soon as he reached the city gate, a dozen soldiers with spears surrounded him.
"Who are those people inside?" the sergeant asked, pointing to the carriage.
"Haha, when I return to the military master, there is my wife and servant inside." The second son said.
"Check!" the sergeant said to the soldiers beside him expressionlessly.
Several soldiers stepped forward and opened the curtain, took a look, and turned back to the sergeant and said, "Sergeant, there are three people inside."
"Let them come down," the sergeant said.
"You three, get down! Hurry!" the soldiers shouted into the car.
Dong Gong Baguio frowned, straightened her silk skirt, bent down and got out of the car.
"What are you doing! Searching for wanted criminals?" Seeing this, Lin Shuhang muttered and got out of the car.
"And you! Don't sleep!" A soldier shouted to Ahua who was snoring.
"Don't make trouble!" Ahua turned over and continued to sleep soundly, with snot bubbles popping up one after another.
The soldier was startled and shouted again: "Did you hear that? Don't sleep! Come down quickly!"
Ahua continued to snore and showed no reaction at all.
"Grandma's!" The soldier got angry, grabbed the steel spear and stabbed Ahua with the barrel of the gun.
"What are you doing! Who poked me in the butt!" Ahua cursed and sat up in a daze, rubbed the poked butt, and farted with a "bang" sound.
"Damn, it smells so bad!" The soldier next to the car immediately frowned and covered his mouth and nose.
"Get down!" a soldier shouted angrily, pinching his nose.
"Ah! What are you going to do!" Suddenly seeing a group of soldiers outside the car, Ahua was immediately confused.
The other party shouted: "Come down! Get checked!"
Inspection? Inspection for what? Even if you enter a city, you have to do an inspection? Ahua muttered and got out of the car, but she saw that everyone was paying attention to Donggong Baguio at this time, without even looking at herself.
The sergeant stared straight at Donggong Baguio's sexy body and said secretly: "What a beautiful woman! This kind of figure and appearance can only be seen in the emperor's harem!"
Thinking of this, the sergeant major asked: "Let me ask you, who are you? What are you doing in Kyoto?"
Donggong Baguio chuckled and said: "The Nu family is just a poor man who came from Zezhou to find his relatives."
"Visiting relatives?" The sergeant looked at Donggong Baguio up and down, his eyes wandering, and he must have some bad thoughts in his heart.
"Master Jun, what's going on in Anqing today? Why is there such a big movement?" Donggong Baguio asked the sergeant with a smile.
The sergeant said absently: "There has been a big incident in Anqing recently, and the superiors have ordered a strict investigation."
Donggong Baguio asked: "Something big happened? What big thing?"
The sergeant smiled and said, "You can't say that."
Donggong Baguio said: "Master Jun, do you think we can enter the city now?"
The sergeant glanced at Donggong Baguio and said with a smile: "Going into the city? How can I let you into the city before the investigation has started?"
As he spoke, the sergeant reached out and touched Donggong Baguio's body.
Seeing that the other party started to be rude while talking, Donggong Baguio frowned and took two steps back.
"Master Jun, what are you doing?" Donggong Baguio said angrily.
"Hey, of course it's an inspection! I think you must be hiding something on your body!" the sergeant said, approaching step by step.
How could Donggong Baguio not know what the other party meant? He snorted coldly: "I do have something hidden on my body. I'm afraid the military master won't dare to look at it."
The sergeant laughed loudly: "Haha, what a joke! I dare not look at anything. Take off your clothes and let me check. If there is nothing, I will let you into the city."
"Do you dare to look at this?" Donggong Baguio suppressed the anger in her heart and snorted coldly and took out a golden token from her arms.
Seeing the golden token, the sergeant's face suddenly changed. He knelt down with a pale face and said hurriedly: "It turns out he is the eighth prince. I am short-sighted. Please forgive me!"
Donggong Baguio took back the token and snorted coldly: "That bitch actually violated military regulations and used the pretense of strict investigation to molest me! How audacious! If I hadn't had something important to do today, I would have taken you to the prison! Brother,
Ah Hua, let’s get in the car.”
Dong Gong Baguio flicked her sleeves and got back into the carriage. Although Lin Shuhang was confused about the identity of the other party, he also followed him and got into the carriage.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Seeing that the other party spared him, the sergeant major hurriedly thanked him.
Ahua shouted at this time: "Who just poked me in the butt?"
The soldiers on the side looked at each other, who dared to admit it?
Seeing that no one acknowledged it, an angry A-hua stepped forward and slapped the sergeant major: "I told you not to take good care of your soldiers!"
The sergeant major who was slapped inexplicably covered his face and screamed in grievance. Although he gritted his teeth in anger, he did not dare to act recklessly due to Donggong Baguio's identity, so he had to swallow his anger and settle the matter.
After Ahua got into the car, Donggong Baguio leaned out of the car window and said: "Next time if I let me know that you don't abide by the military regulations, then you will be sent to Black Sky Prison!"
The sergeant major said with a pale face: "Don't dare!"
Dong Gong Baguio snorted coldly: "Second son drives!"
The second son responded and drove the carriage into the city gate.
"What an unlucky mom! I met someone from the Eighth Prince!" The sergeant major on the side wiped his sweat before he dared to stand up.
It was already afternoon when we entered Anqing City. Several people who had been traveling for days were already tired and hungry, so they entered an inn to prepare for a meal and rest.
The inn is not big, but it is quiet and elegant. After a few people randomly ordered a private room, they sat together and started eating and drinking.
After the meal, Lin Shuhang touched his round belly and burped several times with satisfaction. Not to mention, the meal was really satisfying.
"Sister, who are you?"
At the table, Lin Shuhang picked up a bamboo stick and picked his teeth lazily and asked curiously: "Why did those soldiers get scared when they saw you taking out the token just now?"
Dong Gong Baguio took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Brother, you will know after you take a look."
After saying that, Dong Gong Baguio took out the golden token from her arms and handed it to Lin Shuhang.
Lin Shuhang took the token and looked at it, and saw the seal characters "Eighth Prince's Warrant" engraved on it.
"Eighth Prince? Is my sister from the palace?" Lin Shuhang asked in surprise.
Lin Shuhang had somewhat heard of the Eighth Prince. His name was Beixue Baili, and he was the eighth son of the Ninth Emperor Wan Zong of Beixue.
It is rumored that the eighth prince Bei Xue Baili has a cold and arrogant personality, and is low-key and unassuming. He has always been the most mysterious prince among the eight princes. Unexpectedly, Sister Baguio, who looks ordinary, actually holds the eighth prince's fingerprint. This can't help but make Lin Shuhang feel
Surprised.
Dong Gong Baguio nodded: "Yes, His Highness the Eighth Prince is my sister's supporter."
"Backer?" Lin Shuhang said: "No wonder those soldiers turned pale with fright when they saw the token! It turns out that my sister is a celebrity of His Highness the Eighth Prince!"
"Why do you say that my sister is a celebrity of His Highness the Eighth Prince?" Donggong Baguio asked curiously.
Lin Shuhang shook the eighth prince's fingerprint and said, "Are ordinary people qualified to wear the eighth prince's fingerprint? Although your brother and I have not seen much of the world, I still understand this point."
Dong Gong Baguio took the Eighth Prince's handprint, knocked Lin Shuhang's hand and said with a smile: "What? My brother is jealous?"
Lin Shuhang scratched his head: "How can I dare to be jealous? He is a high-ranking prince, and I don't dare to be jealous even if he lends his power to us!"
Dong Gong Baguio laughed and said: "You brat is so angry that he says he's not jealous!"
"Okay, it's getting late. Brother, let Ahua accompany you to the street to buy some clothes later! You can follow my sister and I to the palace in the afternoon."
Lin Shuhang shouted: "What? Enter the palace? Why should I enter the palace if I'm not a eunuch?"
Baguio from the East Palace burst into laughter, gave Lin Shuhang a blank look and said, "Who said you should be a eunuch? I want to introduce you to His Highness the Eighth Prince."
Lin Shuhang became even more confused, pointed at himself and asked, "Me? Introduce to His Highness the Eighth Prince?"
"Yes! The Eighth Prince really wants to get to know a young man like you." Dong Gong Baguio nodded.
Lin Shuhang shook his head and said: "I am a poor person with no abilities, how can the eighth prince think highly of me? Besides, I am used to being free, and I don't want to know any princes. Why don't I stay in the palace all day and not be suffocated to death?
Ah! No, no, no, I have other things to do when I come to Kyoto this time!"
Donggong Baguio persuaded: "Brother, the Eighth Prince is friendly and approachable, but he is an important network! Recommending you to the Eighth Prince will only have benefits and no harm. You have to trust my sister."
Seeing that Lin Shuhang was still hesitant, Dong Gong Baguio said again: "Don't worry, the Eighth Prince will not restrict your freedom. On the contrary, if you become friends with the Eighth Prince, you will have more freedom and wider space for development.
!”
After thinking about it, what Dong Gong Baguio said is not unreasonable. There are many connections and many roads, not to mention that he is still the prince. No one else can find such a good thing even with a lantern!
"Okay then, I will follow you into the palace in the afternoon."
Donggong Baguio smiled and said: "Well, that's right. Okay, let Ahua accompany you to the street to buy clothes! You will enter the palace in the afternoon, but you can't lose your sister's face."
Lin Shuhang said: "I'd better go alone. I don't know what others will think if I let Ah Hua accompany me!"
Ahua pouted on the side and said angrily: "You don't want me to accompany you, but I'm not willing to accompany you! Humph!"
"Go shopping by yourself!" Ahua wrinkled her nose and snorted, took out a bag of broken silver and threw it to Lin Shuhang.
"If you don't like it, it will save you some peace and quiet!" Lin Shuhang caught the bag of broken silver and stood up, saying, "Sister, I'm going."
Donggong Baguio nodded and said, "Brother, go and come back quickly."
"Yes!" Lin Shuhang responded and took Xiaoman out of the inn.
What everyone didn't know was that shortly after Lin Shuhang walked out of the inn, two young men who were sitting in the hall drinking wine suddenly put down their glasses, looked at each other, and then followed them out of the inn.
"What a beautiful Kyoto in the North! It's so prosperous that it's almost as prosperous as Chang'an in ancient China!"
Walking on the streets of the capital of a country, Lin Shuhang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.
"Xiaoman, why are you looking so sad? Are you angry?" Lin Shuhang asked with a smile when he saw Xiaoman on his shoulder looking unhappy.
Xiaoman turned his head to the side and ignored Lin Shuhang.
Lin Shuhang touched Xiaoman's head and said, "It's okay. Let's go to the palace to have a look in the afternoon and go look for the water department early tomorrow morning."
Just as he was talking, Lin Shuhang's shoulders were suddenly held down by a pair of big hands from behind.
Suddenly there was a hand on his shoulder. Lin Shuhang was startled and hurriedly looked back, but before he could see the other person's appearance clearly, a sharp knife pressed against his lower back.
Damn it? Robbery? Lin Shuhang's heart skipped a beat and thought to himself, no way? This is Kyoto! Who is so bold and dares to blatantly rob on the street? Isn't the security here too bad?
Because someone was holding a sharp knife on his lower back, Lin Shuhang did not dare to struggle too violently, and could only shout in horror: "Who are you? What are you going to do!"
Standing behind Lin Shuhang were two ordinary-looking teenagers. One of them held a knife to Lin Shuhang's lower back and said solemnly: "What are you doing? Of course I'm inviting you to tea!"
Come on, how can you invite someone to drink tea like this! As soon as he heard that the other party invited him to drink tea, Lin Shuhang was stunned! Holding a knife against him to drink tea? What kind of drama is this?
"Drink tea! What kind of tea? I'm not going! Let me go! Otherwise I'll call someone!" Lin Shuhang shouted.
The young man holding the knife said solemnly: "If you dare to shout, I will stab you to death immediately! Leave quickly!"
As he spoke, the young man pressed the handle of the knife hard, and Lin Shuhang immediately screamed in pain: "Okay, okay, I'll go with you, I'll go with you! Ouch, please, please!"
Seeing Lin Shuhang suddenly being stabbed in the neck with a knife from behind, Xiaoman who was sitting on Lin Shuhang was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. Xiaoman squeaked and rushed towards the two young men.
The young swordsman was also a master. Hearing the news, he snorted and suddenly took action, grabbing Xiao Man's neck.
Due to the corpse poison, Xiaoman has not yet recovered the ability to transform. After being grabbed by the neck, he suddenly lost all his strength.
In the past, Xiaoman, who was so powerful, had never suffered such a disadvantage? So after being grabbed by the opponent's neck, he immediately started struggling with scratches.
The young swordsman was also a cruel person. When he saw Xiaoman struggling, he frowned and got angry!
The young man shook his hand hard, Xiaoman squeaked, his head tilted, and he immediately fell limp in the opponent's hand.
The young man snorted coldly and threw Xiaoman out.
Xiaoman fell on a tile-roofed house, moved his body and then stopped moving.
"Fuck you, what the hell did you do to Xiao Man?" Realizing that something was wrong, Lin Shuhang immediately cursed anxiously. If Xiao Man had any accident, how should he explain to the girl?
The young man said in a deep voice: "Be honest! That monkey of yours was just knocked unconscious by me!"
Lin Shuhang was relieved when he heard that Xiao Man was not dead. If Xiao Man was dead, to be honest, he really didn't know how to explain to Sebring.
"I'm telling you! If Xiaoman has any shortcomings, I will risk my life with you!"
"You are not qualified to risk your life with us, leave quickly!" the young swordsman said coldly, and pressed the handle of the knife hard. Lin Shuhang, who was in pain, immediately became honest.
Damn it, who are these two guys? Where are they taking me? No one dares to say anything in the street. Damn it! How unlucky!
Lin Shuhang was in a state of confusion, but he had no choice but to have a sharp knife pressed against his waist. The slightest movement would cause unbearable pain, so Lin Shuhang did not dare to struggle too violently and had no choice but to walk helplessly.
"Where are you going to take me?" Lin Shuhang kept asking each other along the way.
"You'll know in a moment, let's go!" The young man holding the knife said solemnly.
Because the other party's behavior was too covert, even though people were coming and going on the street, no one noticed the sharp knife at Lin Shuhang's waist.
Seeing that the other party was forcing him to go farther and farther, Lin Shuhang panicked. If he didn't think of a way, these people might get him somewhere! If the other party was a personal trafficker, wouldn't this man's life be ruined? Thinking of this, Lin Shuhang became anxious.
.Looking around furtively, his eyes suddenly lit up.
As the capital of a country, Anqing City gathers businessmen and envoys from all over the world. It is very strict in terms of public security. It has 200,000 soldiers stationed in four military camps in the east, west, north and south outside the city. Every day, 10,000 soldiers enter the city in batches to patrol.
It can be said that a group of soldiers patrolled the streets of Anqing almost every once in a while.
Just when Lin Shuhang was panicking, a group of patrols of about ten people suddenly came towards him. When he saw that group of patrols, Lin Shuhang was overjoyed and secretly thought that he was saved!
Lin Shuhang continued walking calmly. When he met the patrol on the opposite side, he suddenly yelled and ran away.
"Help! Help!" Lin Shuhang shouted and ran towards the patrol, then he hugged a patrol and refused to let go.
Seeing Lin Shuhang suddenly running away from his sword, the two young men were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted and chased after him with an angry curse.
Suddenly being hugged by a strange boy, the soldier who was patrolling the street was startled. He hurriedly pulled out the saber from his waist and shouted: "Who is that person? What are you going to do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, other patrols were already surrounding Lin Shuhang with guns.
"They want to kill me!" Lin Shuhang pointed at the two young men who were chasing after him and shouted.
The patrolman turned around and saw two young men chasing after him with knives. He was a little confused at the moment. After all, Anqing is the capital of the country! How dare someone attack him with a knife? Why don't you resist him!
"You bastard, how dare you run away? Do you want to die?" the two young men who caught up yelled angrily while holding knives. The sharp daggers reflected dazzling light in the sun.
Seeing that the other party had knives in their hands, the patrolmen felt threatened and turned their guns to aim at the two young men.
"Stop! What are you going to do!" the patrol squad leader yelled angrily.
The two young men looked at each other and said to each other: "Hand over that brat quickly!"
Seeing that the opponent was so rampant, the patrol team leader became angry, shook his steel gun and shouted: "You are a bold traitor! Not only do you dare to commit murder with a knife in Anqing City in broad daylight, but you actually dare to confront the army? How brave you are!"
A young man frowned and said angrily: "You are so brave! Do you know who we are?"
The squad leader of the patrol scolded: "What status do you have as a poor man in blue shirt? Arrest me!"
As he spoke, the patrol squad leader waved his hand, and the other soldiers surrounded him with a roar.
"Who dares to touch us!" the young man said angrily, tearing his clothes apart.
Unexpectedly, under the green shirt, this man was actually wearing a yellow brocade garment with a three-clawed black python pattern embroidered on it!
