Chapter 52 First arrival in the capital

Yang Shucheng thought about Xiong Songlin in Handan, a local rich man, who was a match for Jinshi Villa. This could be seen from their attitude towards him, but he was just in the middle. What did it mean? Fortunately, others didn't tell him first. Where is the face?

Yang Shucheng wandered under the pine tree, thinking that his family's revenge had not been avenged, but he was entangled in the personal affairs of his children here. He thought about how his loving father would look when he met his old man.

Yang Shucheng looked back at the villa. There were heavy clouds and mist in the villa. The night breeze on the mountain was cool and cool. The only thing accompanying him was the chirping of insects. Who could comfort him?

When Yang Shucheng thought of this, his heart felt cold, and he felt that it would be better to die quietly on this mountain.

Yang Shucheng had this stupid idea, so he went to look for the pine branch where he hung himself. After walking a few steps, he shouted: "No, I have not avenged my father's revenge, but I want to commit suicide. How can I be worthy of my father underground? If he knew about it, he would not do it." Feeling at ease, right?

I also think of my old mother and weak sister at home, who are looking forward to his return at home every day, but I ignore them and hang myself here. How can I be worthy of my mother and sister?

Yang Shucheng persuaded himself on the mountain alone. After thinking for a long time, he no longer wanted to die and decided to leave. If you want to leave quietly, it's best to leave now. If others find out, they will think that I, a pauper, am still playing some tricks.

Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng made up his mind, no longer hesitated, ran down the mountain, jumped into the villa, followed the path to his residence, opened the door and went in. There was no light inside.

Yang Shucheng didn't even light a lamp. He just looked at the moonlight outside the window, spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and wrote a letter without adding any details. The main idea was that he had not avenged his father's hatred and was a son of a man in vain. Now that he knew where his enemy was, he wanted to go there. Revenge, if your father's revenge is avenged, and you go to the villa, if you die, please ask the owner not to miss you.

Yang Shucheng wrote the letter, put it on the table, packed his parcel, picked up his sword, closed the door gently, and walked out of the hospital.

At this time, it was already late at night, and the villa was completely dark, with no one around. Yang Shucheng walked quickly to the wall, flew up to the top of the wall, stood on the top of the wall, looked into the villa, with heavy smoke trees and houses looming, he jumped out of the wall resolutely, and ran down the mountain.

Yang Shucheng had made up his mind to leave, and he ran very fast. After leaving the entrance of the villa, he ran all the way north.

Yang Shucheng held back his breath, lowered his head and ran wildly, with energy in his heart. This long-distance run was like lightning, not to mention that the road in the north was flat and there was not a single black shadow. Yang Shucheng ran for an hour, and then he stopped and had already run more than thirty miles.

Yang Shucheng walked forward slowly. At this time, dawn was already showing in the east, and the sky was about to break.

Yang Shucheng was running around in the middle of the night. When he stopped, his feet felt as heavy as lead, and he almost couldn't move.

Yang Shucheng walked to a tree and sat next to it to rest. Unconsciously, he felt sleepy. Most frustrated people doze off the most. Yang Shucheng was the same at this time and fell asleep quickly.

When I woke up, the sun had already risen more than three feet high, and there were already pedestrians on the road.

Yang Shucheng stood up, patted the dust on his body, and thought that he could bear the anger and run. Now that he was calm, he didn't know where to go?

I want to go back to my hometown and meet my mother and sister, but my father's revenge has not been avenged, so how can I have the dignity to go home?

Since he could not return home, Yang Shucheng thought that since he was in Hebei, why not visit the capital. Now the world is in chaos, with bandits running rampant inside and the invasion of the Jin Kingdom outside. It is the time for the country to employ people.

Yang Shucheng thought that if he went to the capital, there would be people from his hometown who were officials in the capital, so he could explore their connections. If he went to the army and killed enemies and made meritorious deeds, he would be able to gain a small amount of fame, and he would not be laughed at.

Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng became excited and decided to go to the capital. After a good sleep, I was full of energy, so I took long strides and headed north.

Went to the market town, found a restaurant, had breakfast, and there was some silver in the package, so I bought a skinny donkey in the market town.

After walking out of the market town, Yang Shucheng mounted his donkey and headed north.

The road was full of dust and wind, and we slept in the open air. After more than half a month, we saw the tall and neat city walls of the capital. The turrets towered into the clouds. The scenery of the imperial capital was dominating the world.

On the second day, Yang Shucheng rode a donkey to the city gate. Because there were strong enemies outside and bandits inside, seven or eight soldiers were stationed at the city gate to check the people coming and going.

Although Yang Shucheng is a scholar, he is not afraid, but he thinks that he has also dealt with thieves. There are many spies in the capital, and he is afraid that his appearance will be overlooked by them. If he is interrogated and caught by them, he will be in trouble.

Therefore, he lingered outside the city gate and did not dare to go rashly.

Yang Shucheng walked back and forth outside the city gate for two days without meeting even a fellow villager. He had come to Beijing thousands of miles away, but was blocked outside the city gate and could not enter the city. It was understandable that he felt depressed.

That day, in the afternoon, Yang Shucheng stood under an old elm tree and saw a group of people approaching on the road in the distance.

Walking closer, Yang Shucheng recognized the leader walking in front of the team.

This leader is Huang Chenglin.

His elder brother is Huang Zhonglin.

Huang Zhonglin once led his officers and soldiers to surround King Li Chuang in the Taihang Mountains. He teamed up with another general to annihilate King Li Chuang and his gang, and captured the leader of the thieves alive, which was an unparalleled feat. Later, Li Xing brought a box of treasures to him. , he just opened his eyes and let King Li Chuang go.

Huang Zhonglin was dismissed from his post by the imperial court. He returned to his hometown with this large box of treasures and became a happy rich man. He had endless food and drink for several lifetimes. I wonder why his younger brother Huang Chenglin came to the capital?

I saw Huang Chenglin riding a tall horse and escorting a team of carriages and horses, approaching in a majestic manner. Yang Shucheng stood by the roadside. Fortunately, Yang Shucheng recognized him. He glanced at Yang Shucheng who was standing stupidly, but he didn't recognize him at all.

When Yang Shucheng saw this long line of people passing by, he hurriedly rode on his skinny donkey and ran at the end of the line, trying to get through.

The team slowly came to the city gate, and the soldiers at the city gate stepped forward to question them as usual. Huang Chenglin stepped forward and whispered a few words, and then the soldiers guarding the city stepped aside with a smile.

Huang Chenglin led the team into the city gate, followed closely by Yang Shucheng. The officers and soldiers thought he was the servant of the Huang family escorting the vehicle, so they watched him enter the city gate.

As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see that the roads in the capital are wide and neat, the houses are row upon row, the shops are complex, the citizens are bustling and noisy, it is really prosperous.

Yang Shucheng led the thin donkey and followed Huang Chenglin's team at a distance. Hearing that his brothers had returned to their hometown with the treasure, he didn't know why he came to the capital again, so he followed him at a distance until they came to the gate of a large house. Until now.

Yang Shucheng saw clearly. At this time, it was dusk, so he found a restaurant to have dinner.

He went out to lead the donkey and found an inn to stay. In the evening, Yang Shucheng walked out of the inn slowly when he had nothing to do. After going around a few alleys, we came to the back of Huang Chenglin's house.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Shucheng flew up to the wall, looked at the backyard and saw that there was no one around, and jumped to the ground in the courtyard.

Here is a back garden with tall trees dotted with a rockery and a pavilion on the hill. When Yang Shucheng first arrived, he didn't know the way, so he used the cover of rocks to get into the pavilion, hid behind the pavilion pillars, and looked ahead.

There was a bright light ahead.
