Nine Turns of Nirvana

Li Zhengxuan was speechless at the reason given by Lu Yu, but he had no choice. It was his duty to rush to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, and he had no reason to refuse.

Fortunately, the roads in Zhili Liufu are very easy to travel. As long as you are determined to go on the road, the effect will be very obvious.

Lu Yu and others traveled day and night, and after another two days and two nights, they finally arrived at the final destination of the trip - Da Rui Imperial Capital.

This is a very majestic city. Compared to other ancient cities with thousands of years of history, this city is still very young. Its construction process was accompanied by the rise of the Jin family and the Ning family. It only has a history of a hundred years, not even as long as Xihai City.

From the overall layout of a city, we can see the ambition and courage of those in power. At this time, the city stood in front of Lu Yu, and he could clearly feel the humanistic atmosphere in it.

Regardless of the current situation, at least the ancestors of the Jin family and the Ning family had great ambition and courage.

"Special Envoy Lu, we have been on a windy and rainy journey. Thank you for your hard work!"

At the Wuliting Pavilion outside the imperial capital, an official took the initiative to greet him.

After Li Zhengxuan's introduction, Lu Yu learned that this person was Zhang Shiping, the Minister of Rites of the Darui Empire. As the envoy representing Xihai City, Lu Yu was responsible for receiving him.

"Special Envoy Lu, I have admired you for a long time. After hearing the news that you were coming, we have been rushing to greet you. I didn't expect that we finally saw you in person until now!" Zhang Shiping greeted again.

Lu Yu also responded with a few words.

Everyone escorted Lu Yu's delegation towards the city. Zhang Shiping was worthy of being the Minister of Rites. He treated people like a spring breeze and occasionally introduced various interesting things in the imperial capital. He was also very interesting...

After he joined us, the journey seemed to become much easier, and we arrived at the gate of the Imperial Capital in a short while.

"As expected of the capital city! I finally got to see the legendary imperial capital, Dijing!" Lu Yu said with emotion, "Master Zhang, what are your plans for the next step?"

Zhang Shiping said: "Your Majesty has already said that as soon as Special Envoy Lu arrives in the capital, you will go to the palace to see His Majesty as soon as possible... But it is getting late today, and it is really not good to disturb you at this time, and Special Envoy Lu is traveling all the way. Tired, you also need time to rest and organize. We have arranged a residence for Special Envoy Lu. After you have a night's rest, you can go see His Majesty tomorrow!"

"Residence..." Lu Yu smiled faintly and said, "I wonder if I can choose a place to live by myself?"

Zhang Shiping couldn't help but was slightly stunned: "Choose your own residence? Could it be that Special Envoy Lu has made arrangements in advance?"

Lu Yu said: "That's not true, but I have heard a lot about the capital these days, and there are quite a few places that I really yearn for..."

Zhang Shiping asked: "Where is it?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but look at Li Zhengxuan beside him.

Li Zhenxuan immediately raised his eyebrows. It seemed that what Lu Yu said before was serious. He was really going to find a place to drink wine.

"Special Envoy Lu, are you going to that place now? This may not be appropriate..." Li Zhengxuan said.

Lu Yu spread his hands and said, "What's wrong with this? The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. I don't think your majesty will be so stingy and won't let me see the beauty of the imperial capital, right?"

"But this..." Li Zhenxuan hesitated: "I'm afraid it will damage the image of Xihai City."

Lu Yu shook his head and said: "Li Zhanshi, you are wrong. The image of Xihai City only depends on its own strength, and it will not be affected just because I go to have a meal or two of wine."

Li Zhengxuan could only smile bitterly. Since Lu Yu insisted on having his own way, there was nothing he could do.

Zhang Shiping looked at the reaction of the two people, showed a thoughtful expression, and said: "Special Envoy Lu is a distinguished guest who has come from afar. It is necessary to experience the customs and customs of the capital. Anyway, there is still time now. , how about we accompany Special Envoy Lu for a walk around the city?"

Lu Yu laughed: "No wonder Mr. Zhang is able to hold a first-class official position. Li Zhanshi, your situation is still a little smaller after all!"

Li Zhengxuan could only smile bitterly.

This man has just entered the city, and he has not even arrived at the place where he will stay, so he rushes to visit the brothels... Is this because he is too small, or is he not doing his job properly?

So, under Zhang Shiping's greeting, the three of them walked directly towards the Thirteenth Spring Tower.

Not long after, they came to the side of a canal. This was a man-made canal. It was extremely prosperous. However, compared to the busy shipping ships, the most eye-catching thing was the rowboats and boats standing on it. .

This is where the Thirteen Spring Towers are located. Each spring tower is a building boat docked on the canal.

In fact, the Thirteen Spring Towers are just the most famous thirteen towers here. In addition to the Thirteen Spring Towers, there are many other large and small towers, boats and boats, all with different styles, and they are intertwined together to form The most prosperous romantic scene on the Imperial Canal.

At this time, it was the beginning of the lanterns, and the canal was brightly lit, with waves of melancholy sounds coming from time to time.

The Holy Land of Fireworks is nothing more than reveling in luxury and luxury.

Zhang Shiping led the way and introduced various strange things on the Imperial Canal. Soon they came to a large building ship.

"Special Envoy Lu, we are pressed for time, how about we settle here? The style of this place is very unique, I guarantee you will be satisfied!" Zhang Shiping said.

Lu Yu glanced at him with a strange expression: "It seems that Master Zhang knows this place very well!"

Zhang Shiping was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "Our etiquette department is responsible for the reception of foreign guests. Sometimes when princes and ministers from other countries come to visit, it is natural to take them to experience the customs and customs of the imperial capital... But these things are normal. Just hearsay!”

Lu Yu smiled faintly and looked at the signboard of the building ship. He saw a few big characters written on it - Red and Green.

According to the information Bai Zimei got from Elder Kong, it seems that the Thirteen Spring Towers do not include such a "red and green" building, which means that this is not the property of the uncle.

So, Lu Yu shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like this is the famous Thirteen Spring Tower?"

Zhang Shiping was slightly startled and said: "So Special Envoy Lu wanted to experience the style of Thirteen Spring Tower? Thirteen Spring Tower is indeed famous far and wide, attracting countless foreign guests. It is precisely because of this that Thirteen Spring Tower's business It’s very popular. If you want to go upstairs, you need to make a reservation in advance. But we are really in a hurry today, and now I’m afraid it’s too late...”

Lu Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It's just a broken brothel, but it has such a big show? Does it need to be booked in advance?"

Zhang Shiping said: "There are no rules without rules. When there was no reservation system in the past, I don't know how many people would gather in front of the Thirteenth Spring Building every day to be jealous. Later, this system was implemented, and the situation finally got better... "

Lu Yu said: "There are a total of thirteen buildings in the Thirteen Spring Buildings, not just one. I don't believe that the business in each of the thirteen buildings is so good. I think this is just a marketing ploy. That’s all!”

"Let's go! Now that I'm here, no matter good or bad, I will definitely experience the most famous... Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, you are all majesties

"If they really dare not give you face, don't worry, I will definitely get it back for you today!"

Lu Yu patted the two of them on the shoulders and forced them to turn around and walk in another direction, showing a very intimate look.

Zhang Shiping and Li Zhengxuan could not help but feel a very absurd feeling in their hearts.

The two of them always felt that Lu Yu had other agendas, but they had already boarded his pirate ship.
