The study was filled with the scent of incense, and it was quiet and leisurely. The windows were half closed, and the sound of rain could be heard outside.

Lou Jingyu checked the letters, one after another, and they all happened to arrive at the same time.

The shadow guard that Lian Jue had left in the capital city wrote back after investigation, saying that he had observed the whereabouts of the Medicine Demon again, but had failed again.

Two days ago, Master Jingtai also wrote him a letter, saying that the medicine demon was indeed still hiding in the capital.

As the saying goes, great men hide in the city. The capital city is complex and has a large and complicated population. It is indeed more convenient for the Medicine Demon to hide than anywhere else. No wonder the shadow guards couldn't catch him.

As long as the drug demon is not eliminated, Lou Jingyu will not be able to completely let go of this worry.

Zhao Buchi also wrote him another letter, earnestly inviting him to the capital.

This time there was even a personal letter from His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, asking Duan Chunhui to come to Beijing for medical treatment.

Lou Jingyu knew that the time to make a decision had come, so he no longer hesitated.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not, it all depends on whether he wants to go to Beijing.

In his previous life, Lou Jingyu didn’t pay much attention to the war in southern Xinjiang.

At that time, his heart was already closed, he was quite indifferent to worldly affairs, and his heart was very cold and hard.

How can a person whose own heart is empty care about the people of the world?

At this moment, Lou Jingyu thought of his past life, the opportunity for rebirth, and what Master Jingtai said to him: "Just do good deeds."

My family, my country and the world are before me, and the advice is still fresh in my mind.

Now that he had Eleven by his side, Lou Jingyu seemed to understand a little bit about the cause and effect that Master Jingtai had talked about in his letters every day when he wanted to teach him.

He knew that he had to go, no matter what the reason was, he had to get involved in this muddy water.

Fortunately, he will not repeat the mistakes of his previous life. He is wary of people's hearts and will not do anything arrogant or lax.

With Ying Eleven around, he would think twice before acting and would not dare to waste any more time in this life.

After thinking about the letter for a while, Lou Jingyu wrote a reply letter to each of them and had someone deliver it.

He touched the ink and wrote on a lot of pages.

After writing the letter and handing it to the messenger, Lou Jingyu moved his wrist.

He glanced at the people around him, stood up, closed the window, and took a blanket to cover Ying Shiyi who was reading a book nearby.

The rain started to fall when they were halfway through sword practice, so Lou Jingyu called everyone back.

The weather is a little colder now, and I don’t dare let people get cold.

"Has Eleven ever been to the capital?"

He held the person and the blanket in his arms from behind and moved from the chair to sit on the couch.

Ying Shiyi was startled and hugged his neck tightly. After sitting down, he put down the book and shook his head.

He had been to many places to carry out missions, but he had never been to the capital.

I've heard that Kyoto is prosperous, but I don't know what it's like.

But he knew his master had been there.

When the master was young, he read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, visiting all over the country and leaving many footprints.

That's why I met myself and picked myself up.

He leaned into Lou Jingyu's arms and asked him, "What is the capital city like?"

The place under the feet of the emperor will naturally arouse people's curiosity.

Lou Jingyu pulled the blanket up to cover his shoulders and said, "It is prosperous and magnificent, but also full of twists and turns."

"But now we have to make a trip."

Ying Shiyi just nodded when he heard that and leaned into his arms.

He actually didn't care where he went, as long as he was with Lou Jingyu, everything would be fine.

"Master, just make your decision. I will accompany you wherever you go."

He held Lou Jingyu's fingers, and was wrapped in the warmth and breath of Lou Jingyu, feeling quite drowsy.

When Lou Jingyu heard his words, the corners of his mouth curled up and he felt inexplicably relieved. He grabbed his hand and kissed the back of it.

"Okay, then we'll go to the capital together, and I'll take our Eleventh to have a good look around then."

So the itinerary was decided, and Lou Jingyu held him in his arms and took a nap on the small couch for a while.

After the person woke up, he asked him to drink the cooked pear soup. He called Duan Chun back and asked him how his research on the poison was going.

I don't know when it started drizzling outside. It's already September, and the autumn rains are always colder than the last.

Duan Chunhui put on a cloak and sat in a chair drinking hot tea. He was quite envious of the pears in Ying Shiyi's bowl, which looked very moist.

After hearing Lou Jingyu's question, he came back to his senses and drank the tea in the cup before answering.

"There has been some progress, but this thing originally came from the southern border. These strange methods are rarely seen in the Central Plains. I have made some progress only after reading through what my master left behind. But the details still depend on the patient's condition."

Lou Jingyu nodded, "Then let's go to the capital together in a few days."

He called Lian Jue to discuss the detailed travel arrangements with him.

Ying Shiyi was drinking his pear and white fungus soup at a small table on the other side, and Duan Chunhui went over to talk to him.

Ying Shiyi also asked her maid to bring him a bowl of pear soup.

Duan Chunhui finally drank it and was in a good mood. He saw Ying Shiyi wrapped in a blanket and took his pulse.

"Your body is most vulnerable to cold and dampness. It's good to go to the capital now. I heard that although it's not as warm as here, it's drier, which is good for your body. There are also many delicious foods in the capital. I'll take you to visit when the time comes."

Before Ying Shiyi had time to think about how to respond to him, Lou Jingyu, who was standing next to him, seemed to have heard it while doing two things at the same time.

She shouted at him, "You don't need to take me there. I will take Eleven out for a stroll myself."

I’m afraid that Duan Chunhui will teach Eleven bad things.

Duan Chunhui stuck out his tongue behind his back, "Tsk, so stingy."

Ying Shiyi smiled and thanked Duan Chunhui politely, and then said, "The master will take me there."

He also just wanted to follow Lou Jingyu.

Moreover, he felt that Master Lian would prefer to hang out with Master Duan, so he would not take away what others wanted.

----

It took several more days to pack and determine the route. Since the journey to the capital was much farther than the journey to Dajue Temple, it was estimated that it would take more than half a month to get there, so the plan was very detailed.

It just so happened that the autumn rain ended during these few days, and the weather was good again when we set out.

We walked on the official road all the way.

There were three carriages in the team. Lou Jingyu and Ying Shiyi sat in one, Duan Chunhui sat in one by himself, and the other one was used to store luggage and sundries.

Lian Jue and other shadow guards were riding in front, and the shadow guards in the dark were following.

After all, the journey is long and sitting in the carriage would be stuffy, so Lou Jingyu would occasionally take Ying Shiyi for a horseback ride. It would be nice to get some fresh air and take in the surrounding scenery.

We had a smooth journey to the capital. As soon as we arrived outside the city, we could hear a bustle that was different from other places, and the flow of people gradually increased.

Ying Shiyi rubbed his sleepy eyes.

The carriage was shaking all the way, and he always felt a little sleepy. Lou Jingyu indulged him and held him in his arms so that he could sleep more peacefully.

Now, hearing the noise outside, he woke up.

When they were almost at the city gate, the guards dismounted and met the branch manager who had come to pick them up. The manager handed over the documents and ultimatum for them, and then respectfully went to Lou Jing's carriage to pay his respects.

Lou Jingyu lifted the curtain a little and waved at him.

"Let's go into town."

The group then entered the city gate.

Ying Shiyi heard the endless shouting of hawkers in the carriage, so he drew aside the curtain on the window and looked out.

I saw that the road was wide, the surrounding buildings were neatly built, the pedestrians were wearing both fine silk and coarse linen, and the red buildings on both sides were prosperous and magnificent, indeed different from what I had seen before.

Only then did I realize how prosperous Kyoto is.
