Why are we always BE

Chapter 12 Capital layout

Huo Shu returned to the palace and began to meditate.

Under Huo Zehao's teachings in the past few days, Huo Shu found that her muscles and veins had been opened.

The martial arts taught by Su Qing were to build a mortal foundation and improve Huo Shu's physical fitness and physical skills; while the martial arts taught by his brother were to open up the muscles and acupuncture points for practicing martial arts and promote Qi training to build the foundation.

Huo Shu had always doubted whether her brother knew about her own blood and bones, but after all, her brother was a cultivator of immortality, so it was not surprising that the martial arts he taught her were related to cultivating immortality.

Even if the elder brother knows, the elder brother's current actions are all to help himself.

It's better to find a chance to confess to your brother. Huo Shu secretly said.

Thinking of this, Huo Shu took out a dagger and cut his arm. The blood floated in the air and condensed into blood beads, and then turned into a short knife.

Just when Huo Shu wanted to turn them into a long sword, she felt a heavy taste of blood in her throat.

Huo Shu had no time to suppress it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from her throat.

Suddenly, Huo Shu's white clothes were stained with blood, and the power of blood and bones began to stir in her body.

Huo Shu quickly tried her best to maintain a meditative posture, regaining her luck and keeping her meridians open.

It seems that the ability to control blood and bones needs to be improved. Huo Shu thought to herself.

And in this capital, Huo Shu is not the only one whose spiritual power is in chaos.

At Huo Zehao's house

Lu Rou took off her clothes, her face was rosy, and she was dripping with sweat.

Huo Zehao did not stop.

Until the full moon in the sky passed its brightest time, the sky gradually turned white.

"Ze Hao..." Lu Rou shouted hoarsely.

"Call me husband." Huo Zehao changed from his usual gentleness, and there was a hint of command in his words.

Lu Rou was a little speechless.

So, Huo Zehao used another method to ask her to call her husband.

Lu Rou couldn't bear it anymore due to Huo Zehao's hands, so she finally shouted out.

"Husband."

"Madam, you have good concentration." Huo Zehao praised.

"I will definitely practice martial arts in the future and beat you up." Lu Rou gritted her teeth and swore.

"You don't need to practice. You can beat me now. I won't fight back." Huo Zehao said.

"Get out of here." Lu Rou punched Huo Zehao and said angrily.

"No." Huo Zehao hugged Lu Rou tightly.

"Stay away from me, Hot." Lu Rou said coldly, "It's time to talk about business."

"Didn't the business just get done? What were we talking about?" Huo Zehao asked.

Lu Rou looked at Huo Zehao coldly and pulled Huo Zehao's ears directly.

"It hurts, it hurts... let's talk." Huo Zehao begged for mercy and asked, "What do you want to ask, madam?"

"Who owns the blood bones? Have you found out?"

"I found it, it's my sister." Huo Zehao explained honestly.

"What?" Lu Rou was shocked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"You Beiming, you are really talented." Lu Rou said with some disbelief: "Before, it was you and Su Qing, and now there is your sister. Beiming has a bright future."

"When I gave her the ruby ​​bracelet, I found out by checking her pulse. She seemed to have been wary of me and didn't tell me about it."

"How long have you known her? It's normal." Lu Rou said, "How well does she control the power of blood and bones now?"

"Less than 10%. The martial arts skills I have been teaching her these past few days have opened up her muscles and veins and helped her gather strength." Huo Zehao said lightly.

"There must be at least a month between now and then. Have you found out who taught her control and who taught her cultivation?"

"No. I originally suspected it was Su Qing, but he had no reason to do this, and there were always powerful secret guards around him watching him, so he didn't have this chance."

"Who else could it be?"

"We need to check separately."

"Then what are you planning to do today?" Lu Rou put on her clothes and asked.

"Go back to the palace and teach my sister the map of the capital."

"I'm really curious about your sister. Please show me her some other time."

"I will, I will." Huo Zehao said with a smile as he put on his clothes and dressed Lu Rou.

in the afternoon

Huo Shu lay on the table in a daze out of boredom.

I haven't seen Su Qing for several days, and without someone to quarrel with, my days have become boring. Huo Shu secretly said.

It would be great if Su Qing was here, Su Qing would still be able to survive. Huo Shu held her chin and thought to herself.

"Huo Shu." Huo Zehao's voice sounded.

"Brother." Huo Shu stood up and saluted.

Huo Zehao was wearing a light blue Taoist robe and held a topographic map of the capital in his hand.

"I brought you a topographic map of the capital to show you." Huo Zehao spread the map on the table and said.

Huo Shu came closer and thought about the location of the secret passage exit that Su Qing told her.

"The capital is divided into two districts: the east district has ten streets, one street and three lanes, a total of thirty lanes. The west district has eight streets, a street and five lanes, a total of forty lanes. The east is rich and the west is poor. The east district I took you to visit yesterday was the east district. The west district is more chaotic. Especially West Fifth Street and Three Lanes, which are close to the city wall, are the worst places in the city for public security."

"Where is the free clinic?"

"In Zhong Street. Zhong Street is the street that separates the West District from the East District. Most of the shops on this street are blacksmiths and carpenters. Because these are necessities needed by both districts. The free clinic is located on Zhong Street near the West Street city wall. Most of them are blacksmiths' places and residences over there." Huo Zehao pointed to the free clinic and said.

"Why open here?" Huo Shu asked.

"The free clinic is free," Huo Zehao said.

Huo Shu instantly understood the meaning of opening here.

West Street is poor and chaotic, and the people there may not even have enough to eat, let alone money to see a doctor. It was opened on Zhong Street next to the city wall. Firstly, the public security on Zhong Street is better than that on West Street. The gangsters on West Street cannot go to Zhong Street to cause trouble, but the patients on West Street can come to the free clinic for treatment. The second reason is because those who live on East Street near the city wall The people in this location are not considered wealthy, and a family may not be able to afford a serious illness. The free clinic is also in great need for the ordinary people on East Street.

"This free clinic was opened in my name and with my salary. It has been open for about fifteen years. On the 15th and 30th of every month, the free clinic will give out porridge to poor people and beggars."

"Then who took care of the fifteen years you were in seclusion."

"My wife used to come every year and stay for only half a year. In the past few years, Jiang Taigong needed my wife when he attacked the Shang Dynasty, so she has not had time to come in the past few years. The old housekeeper of the free clinic is responsible for taking care of it."

"Where are West 1st Street and 2nd Alley?" Huo Shu suddenly asked.

Su Qing said that the exit of the secret passage is at a run-down beggar's house in the southernmost corner of West 1st Street and 2nd Lane. Huo Shu thought to herself.

"Here, this is an alley of flowers and willows. Why do you ask?" Huo Zehao asked with some suspicion.

"Nothing, I'm just asking casually. Where are East Second Street and Lane Three?" Huo Shu concealed her guilt.

"It's an official's house." Huo Zehao said: "The first two streets in the East District are the residences of important ministers and princes and princesses, followed by the third and fourth streets, but most of them are either rich or noble. Basically, the fifth, sixth and seventh streets are They are shops, the fifth street is the richest, the sixth street is the second, and most of them are ordinary people."

"The layout of the capital is quite standardized." Huo Shu said with emotion.

"This is just one of the fruits of our father's decades of rule." Huo Zehao said lightly: "He may not be a good father, but he must be a good king.
