Chapter 214 Entering Beijing
At the same time, Xiao Ran also rushed to Chang'an with Xia Shuangtian to participate in the school inspection of the imperial city. Xiao Ran wore armor, wore a red cloak, and rode the "flame" to lead the way with Xia Yu. Behind him are more than 2,000 soldiers. Even on his way, Xiao Ran asked his soldiers to tie sandbags on their feet. If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and the sea can become big without choosing small streams. Although they are only temporary generals, Xiao Ran also hopes that they can remember this truth.
General Xiao, a total of 20 teams from all over the country participated in the school inspection this time. In addition to Zheng, Wu and Xia, each had two teams, and the team of the fifth prince and the prince, four teams were transferred back from the frontier. But I have the confidence to win." Xia Yu chatted.
After the last match, Xia Yu also had some admiration for Xiao Ran. It is much better than the original battle. Xiao Ran did not squint and said slowly, "Xiao is busy training, but he has never heard of this news. If General Xia Yu doesn't think it's troublesome, I'll give you some advice.
Although not all the army is under the control of the Xia family, Xia Yu will not be able to find out any information in the mixed network. At least now it is also on behalf of the Xia family to participate in the war. Xia Yu can't hide his private interests. Xia Yu laughed twice and said, "General Xiao looks up at me. Xia doesn't know much about it, just for your reference. The Xia family has no more to say. Although the Wu family is famous for many officials in the family, it has a strong sense of worry, so it attaches great importance to the training of government soldiers. It's not much worse than the Black Armor Army.
The Zheng family's own soldiers are not powerful, but as the richest merchant in the Tang Dynasty, they have countless money. Every year, two base camps are spent on attracting people from the martial arts. Regardless of good or evil, it is raised equally. The excellent weapons manufactured are also beyond the Xia family's reach. The prince and the fifth prince are the two most valued brothers of the emperor. His soldiers are two of the 18th road ban in the imperial city. You should guess their strength. The eighth prince also participated, but unfortunately, he suddenly killed. The last four teams were elite soldiers from Jiannan Province, Yumen Pass, Yanmen Pass and other places, all of whom were baptized on the battlefield..."
Xiao Ran frowned and didn't know what he was thinking: "It seems that it's too simple for me to think about things. It's not easy to win the championship. Looking at Chang'an City not far away, he said, "Do your best. How can you know the result if you don't try?"
Xia Yu was stunned and smiled, "This is not like your temperament. Where is the arrogant Xiao Ran I know?"
Xiao Ran shook his head slightly and said, "The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Now he knows that there are tigers in the mountains that prefer tiger mountains, how can it be the same?" Who can make it clear about the difference between rational and emotional words? People are too rigid and easy to fold. This is the capital, the land where dragons and tigers are hidden. Especially comparable in other places. Maybe you don't have to think too much about alone, but as the Xia family, you have to think about many aspects.
"Oh~~" Xia Yu stopped the horse, stopped the team's direction, walked to a carriage behind, and said, "General, Chang'an City has arrived. Do you want to release the carrier pigeon first?
"No, just go straight into the city." The majestic sound of Xia Shuangtian came from the carriage.
Xia Yu issued a loud order, "Keep moving forward and rest in the city."
When he went to Mingde Gate, Xiao Ran handed over the token. Thousands of people entered the city. When the people in the city saw several teams entering Beijing these days, they all whispered. All the soldiers were arranged for the barracks. Except for the prince and the fifth prince who lived in the palace, the other generals were really close to a mansion in the imperial city.
Because the arrival time is different, there are still a few days left. So important is how Xia Ruoyan can stay in Luoyang at ease. Although Xia Shuangtian refused in every way, she still sneaked out of the house and followed Chang'an all the way. Xia Shuangtian was helpless when he learned about it, but he was afraid that something would happen to his baby daughter, so he had to divide several rooms on the other side of the mansion.
At this time, Xiao Ran was a little crying and laughing in Xia Ruoyan's study and said, "Why did you secretly follow me again? I'm not afraid that my uncle will lock you up."
Xia Ruoyan pouted and snorted, "Dad can't bear it. Of course, Yan'er will come to cheer for Brother Xiao." Xiao Ran couldn't bear to blame her for this mischievous look. What's more, she didn't do anything wrong. Xiao Ran didn't care about any secular etiquette at all.
"It may be busy in a few days. Take a walk around with cigarettes before the people are fully arrived."
It seems that the characteristics of women who like to go shopping are common in any dynasty. Xia Ruoyan nodded without thinking and promised curiously, "Brother Xiao is familiar with Chang'an? Otherwise, how do you know where to look?"
Xiao Ran was ashamed and almost said that he was exposed. Except for coming to Chang'an with Yuluosha, there is no idleness and hurriedly said, "I heard from people on the road that I have admired the book for a long time." Xia Ruoyan said "Oh" before he was confused. According to the Code of Agents, 13 must first find out the terrain and all available resources, so that they can adapt to changes.
The spring breeze is warm and the snow melts. The streets of Chang'an City are staggered horizontally and vertically. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a large piece of tofu that is evenly divided. At the feet of the emperor is a happy scene. The New Year has passed, and the big red lanterns at the door of every family have not been removed, and the atmosphere of the New Year still exists. Changing back to their usual white shirts, Xiao Ran and Xia Ruoyan walked slowly in the city. Even in Chang'an City, a beautiful place, it still attracted many men's eyes.
Xia Ruoyan turned a blind eye and said, "Kyoto is indeed a prosperous place, but lustful people are also annoying and tight."
Xiao Ran naturally found that Chang'an City couldn't help but be prosperous, and there were countless rich people. The brothel on both sides of the Qinhuai River is piled up with silver by these people. But you can't go up and fight with others just because they look more cigarettes. He smiled helplessly, but it made a group of rich ladies whisper.
Jingtai Building is located in the West City, which is a very famous leisure place in the city. Backed by the lake, the scenery is beautiful. There are the best wine and good dishes. There are countless rare antiques for unforgettable women. I always know that there is nothing they can't imagine, and nothing they can't take out. Because the boss behind him is powerful, he has never lived and has a good reputation. There are martial arts people with profound martial arts skills, Wang Sun Guixuan, and vassal and elegant Xiucai... Over time, it has become a gathering place of three teachings and nine streams. The only point is to have money. In the capital, where money is an inch of land and an inch of gold, money and connections are equally important.
At this time, the sound of the horse's hoof came, and the carriage gradually stopped. Is the teenager in a famous satin shirt under the escort of four attendants? He is wearing a velvet cloak and a golden shirt. His eyebrows are like stars, and he is not bored. There is an emerald finger on the thumb. It is extremely noble. Even several guests dining in Jingtai Building looked sideways. As soon as the man got out of the carriage, he greeted him respectfully with the same gorgeous teenager: "Waited for a long time, please."
The man in yellow nodded slightly and walked upstairs. One of the diners said, "I think the young man in blue is a little familiar and can't remember it for a moment."
Another person whispered, "Shh, that's Zheng Yu, the seventh young master of the Zheng family. Although it's not a high weight, it's not something we can afford to provoke.
The man then nodded, looked like this, and said to himself, " Even Zheng Yu's status can only receive guests. How noble should this yellow-shirted teenager be?" Murong and others went to the wing of Jingtai Building and listened around.
The wing room is located on the top floor, with a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery through the window. It is also the most expensive private room. There was a 40-year-old man waiting in the room. Seeing the young man in yellow, he knelt down and said, "See you, Your Highness."
Li Yan took a step forward to drag Zheng Yan and helped him up: "Lord Zheng, please get up. These etiquette can be avoided if you are not in the court."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zheng Yan replied, but he still didn't dare to sit down. He dared to sit down when he knew Li Yan was seated. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Although Zheng Yan is the head of the Zheng family, these understandings are still unavoidable. Even though he has already retired from the position of Minister of Household, many people in the Zheng family still serve in the Ministry of Household. The wealth and connections accumulated over the years are even more huge. Although the open household secretary is a martial artist, many orders are still discussed with them before they can be implemented.
Recently, he suddenly inquired from the palace about his unfavorable words to the Zheng family, so he was asked to ask Prince Li Yan to come out to explore the truth. Although Li Yan was established as the crown prince, he may change before he ascended the throne. If there is the support of the Zheng family, who is rich in the world, there is no doubt that there are many bargaining chips. It came as promised.
