Strange events in the imperial capital

Besides, the two disguised Master Liao, after resting for two hours in the Liao Mansion, changed into clean underwear, put on uniforms, and went out to the streets.

In winter, the gods send down thin snow.After the snow, the sky is clear, the air is fresh and moist, and the sky is extremely bright.The sacred bird with green feathers rises or falls on the roof of the temple.The glazed tiles of the palace hall are plated with a layer of gold, shining brightly.The whole city is as beautiful as a fairyland in heaven.

Chu Han and the others held the handle of the Xiuchun knife on their waists, walked in official steps, swaggered like ghost guards who went out to patrol the streets, and walked on the street.

Come out of Luogu Lane and walk to various alleys. There are bustling restaurants, wine shops, rice shops, water shops, rouge and pollen shops, wood shops, and porcelain shops on the side of the road.

There is an endless stream of diners and horses, and the canopy is elegant.The roof of the car was stained with little snow, and the silk ribbons fluttered in the wind.

The girl walking together on the road has a beautiful and lovely face.Some women's long skirts occasionally shake out a single-legged snake tail, holding hands, flicking and twisting, flicking and twisting again, walking in a circuitous manner, talking quickly and lively.There were also many handsome men, some in long gowns, some in short tunics, with strong three-toed hoofs peeking out from under their trousers.

Looking around the street, you can find all kinds of black donkey hooves, white donkey hooves, deer hooves, sheep hooves, and rhino horn hooves.

These are the incarnations of spirit beasts, walking leisurely in the city of God.

This place, if you don't think about the existence of the ghost guards in brocade clothes and the bronze man who suppresses the beasts, it will be a prosperous and graceful illusion.

There are restaurants on both sides of a street, and the flags hanging high read the words "Fried Fresh Cheese", "Small Kidney Bean Cake", "Small Pea Paste", and "Almond Tofu".Chu Han glanced all the way, turned his head reluctantly, and hurried on his way.You can't eat these things in the capital nowadays.Even the pea yellow made by Fangshan in Beihai Park is rough and scum. How can there be such an exquisite snack as fine pea paste?

Mr. Fang had already seen that the people around him liked this, so he laughed at Chu Han's greedy look with disdain, and then quietly turned back, took out the copper coins and bought fine pea paste and fried fresh cheese.Master Chu then let go of the handle of the Xiuchun knife and ignored his image, holding the pea paste in one hand and the fried cheese in the other, eating it all the way until his mouth was full of scum.

The money from the Liao Mansion sent by classmate Xiaofang contained a large bag of "Shendu Tongbao" of various sizes and weights.Cheap currency is made of bronze, and valuable currency is made of emerald or some precious ore.

Master Chu enthusiastically said: "You don't want to eat? Have a bite."

Mr. Fang is not interested: "I'm tired of eating, and there have been no new tricks for hundreds of years, so I still sell these, how delicious it can be."

Master Chu: "You don't get tired of eating beef all the time? You've been eating it for hundreds of years!"

Mr. Fang: "Will you be full if you eat this all the time? I can't get enough from that tofu stand."

Mr. Fang is not interested in sweets, but more interested in Mr. Chu's hands. He chased Chu Han to lick the cheese residue, and sucked his fingers in one mouthful, as if he had eaten fine nectar and jade dew.

They were hiding in the dark near the Yudao of Chang'an Avenue, looking at the tall and bright gate of the palace with red lacquer and gold pillars.

The access control is strict and the guards are like clouds.There is a plaque hanging on the door, and it is written "Yiyang Palace", which is the residence of the commander of the highest official of the ghost guard.

In this kind of place, if you want to wear official robes to meet the commander in a fair manner, you have to think of an excuse; if you want to sneak in, you have to spend some effort to bypass the defense.

Fang Qiantui stared at the gate for a long time.

A pair of majestic and majestic white marble stone lions sit on both sides of the resplendent gate, with ferocious eyes.On one side, there is also a giant tortoise lying quietly on a stele.

Chu Han couldn't bear it anymore, and hummed, "What are you looking at? Look at the stone lion."

Fang Chitose: "No."

Chu Han smiled: "I don't usually look at me often, but I was dumbfounded when I saw the two stone lions. My mortal body looks too vulgar to the naked eye, and it is indeed not as good-looking as the stone lions in your spirit world."

Fang Chitose: "..."

Little Chitose faintly sensed that the always gentle and pleasant Young Master Chu suddenly began to display his eloquent tongue and nonsense skills recently.Sure enough, Chu Han didn't know him well enough before, but now he has touched him and made out, so he has entered the house and regarded himself as the "quasi-queen" of His Highness.There is obvious domineering and unreasonable in the words, and from time to time he provokes pantothenic acid.

In the future, the princess will still take her back to the Black Water Cave Mansion in Baishan, to repair and train her properly...

Chu Han asked again: "In Shendu City, there are cruel officials like Cheng Beiyuan bullying the good and making troubles, and they can't help it. Your commander will ignore it?"

Fang Sanye said: "The commander is locked in the mansion all day long, just practicing nine-level magical skills to protect the body, playing with various elixir and elixir, thinking about getting to the heaven as soon as possible, and flying to the heaven, so he doesn't care about other things."

"You know our spirit world, why are there ghost guards?"

At that time, Fang Qiansui looked suddenly solemn, pointed at the stone tablet from afar, and told Chu Han the story of the reason for the inscription.It turns out that this strange land has been opened since ancient times, where spiritual power was accumulated to form the spirit world. It was once chaotic and unattended, allowing all kinds of beasts to run rampant and mate indiscriminately, corrupting the bloodlines of the spirit beasts.Hundreds of years ago, the Emperor of Heaven sent down a Jinyi imperial army and gave them the authority to "patrol the hunting on behalf of the gods". They were given official badges, spirit-shooting arrows and embroidered spring swords to control all the precepts and laws here.

This brocade-clothed forbidden army was originally a subordinate of Yan Wang Zhu Di who rebelled against him in Yangjian. Later, Zhu Di moved to the capital and stationed in the capital. The commander of the army was named Feng Ling.It is said that Feng Ling is handsome and elegant, versatile in both civil and military affairs, and he is a favorite and trusted minister by the emperor's side.General Feng Ling was later trapped in an ambush during a siege battle. He was seriously injured by several arrows and could not walk.

After this army was destroyed and killed in battle, the ghosts lingered for a long time, unwilling to leave the imperial capital that had been guarded for many years, so they wandered among the rolling mountains to the northwest of the capital all year round, with no soul to support, and turned into a ghost soldier.The Emperor of Heaven thought of his loyalty and bravery and felt his heroism, so he bestowed Feng Ling with an official position, patrolling hunting on behalf of the sky, and became the commander of the spiritual world.Feng Ling's dead army is now the Ghost Guard.Therefore, the ghost guards are different from the living people in the yang world, they seal their souls in the remnants of the yin soldiers, and possess certain spiritual powers.

Chu Han: "It turns out that there is such an origin, I understand... ghosts also have a way and love, it's rare that they don't forget their homeland, and they are willing to never leave."

Earlier, he complained that the gods and Buddhas in the heavens were out of their minds. Where did he get a group of Ming Dynasty "urban management" in uniform.There is another reason for Xiao Chitose's explanation.

He hurriedly asked, "Is this General Feng Ling still here?"

Fang Qiansui showed regret: "Of course I don't live here anymore. Feng Ling has been pursuing his vocation in the Godshunting Realm for many years, and his merits and virtues have been completed and he has achieved a positive result. He has been promoted to the Heaven Realm to be on par with the gods. My commander in the Godshunting Realm has been changed a long time ago. There are so many groups of people, each generation is not as good as the next generation! When General Feng Ling descended to the spirit world, he was also such a heroic, courageous, loyal and iron-blooded figure. His successor is a mess, and he is about to ruin the reputation of a fallen army's heroic soul."

Every time Fang Qiansui mentioned that General Feng Ling, his expression was different from usual, and the nostalgia in his brows and eyes could not be concealed.Even though Chu Han and Feng Lingsu had never met, they were not of the same generation. After hundreds of years, they could only feel from the conversations of Xiaofang's classmates that he must be a handsome, handsome and powerful person.

When did His Royal Highness Fang show such respect and admiration to anyone?

never had.

Chu Han said softly: "You must have known General Feng Ling hundreds of years ago. You didn't look at the stone lion just now, but at Feng Ling's stele of merit."

Third Master Fang knew he was talking too much, so he stopped quickly.Be careful when talking to Young Master Chu.Chu Han has too many delicate thoughts and associations, just mentioning a stone lion or General Feng can lead to a scene of palace fighting.

Chu Han pondered: "According to you, if the commander really took away Chenghe, what can he do if he takes Hehe instead of being a bronze figure?"

Fang San'er: "If you don't make copper men, then you can only make pills. That evildoer may find some strong dragon and yang bodies, and feed them to test his Yang-strengthening pills and Sentimental Powder."

Chu Han: "..."

Near noon, they came to the restaurant in Mishi Hutong as agreed, waiting for His Highness Ninth Prince and the old seven and eight, and discussing how to sneak into the commander's mansion.

Chu Han didn't check the location beforehand, so he knew that there must be a cheap restaurant in Mishi Hutong, and he happened to fill his stomach at this restaurant.This Bianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant is the oldest restaurant in the imperial capital. It opened in the Yongle period of Chengzu and has been in business for more than 700 years.This shop sells braised oven roast duck, which is not in the same line as Quanjude's fruit wood hanging oven, but has a different flavor.

With their bluffing official uniforms, the Liao brothers were led up to the second floor by the store, where there was a single room with a beautiful view by the window.

Mr. Fang immediately ordered a large table of dishes, served six roast ducks and eight hot dishes in one go, and sold a large emerald jade tongbao, which made the waiting waiter think that this big customer was going to have a banquet.

Avoiding others in the private room, Fang Chitose dipped in tea and wrote a string of characters on the table, flicking his fingertips in the air.Immediately, we saw wet marks and water dripping from the corner of the room.After a while, it turned out to be the ray girl who appeared.

The beauty bowed respectfully, and after paying homage to the Third Highness, she was not sure whether to call the other "Third Princess" or "Shuifu Third Empress", she hesitated for a moment and called "Young Master" softly.

Chu Han also admired Chitose's thoughtfulness.The ray girl was sent out by her highness outside the city, and entered the city secretly.

The ray girl reported back, and the water ghost eyeliners from all over the city came to report that three or four days ago, a strange thing really happened in Shendu. At that time, two ghost cars and a bare-chested man without toga and sleeves fell from the sky and fell into the sky. On the imperial road in front of Chang'an Avenue, he was captured afterward, and many people watched him.That man is dressed like a living person in the mortal world, and he is probably the one Mr. Chu is looking for.The two sides confirmed that Chenghe was first arrested and taken to Beizhen Fusi, and then taken away by the command envoy.Even if he hadn't been refined into a bronze figure, he might have been refined into a Dragon Yang Gu at this moment, feeding his stomach with aphrodisiacs.

Ray retreated and fled.

The duck at Bianyifang is delicious, but Chu Han didn't feel like eating it, so he dipped it in sweet noodle sauce and rolled a few duck cakes randomly.He only ate half a duck, the other five and a half ducks and the eight hot meat dishes were all eaten by Mr. Fang alone.

Chu Han didn't even see how the other party ate.When he looked up again, there were all CDs on the table, and there seemed to be a few duck racks missing.Fortunately, the store's plates are still there.

Xiao Chitose's handsome face was very calm, and he wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk handkerchief, tidying up his urban control uniform.After a full meal, he was full of energy, and an official boot was cocked on the pear blossom table, dangling in front of Chu Han's eyes.

It's noon, and the person who made the appointment didn't show up?

Chu Han got up and looked downstairs through the window.Just looking at it, I happened to catch a glimpse of a figure in a hemp-colored official robe, flying into the gate of Yiyifang, followed by two strong men in black night clothes, rushing into the roast duck restaurant together.

"It seems to be our Xiaojiu?" Chu Han was surprised.

Several ghost guard school officials behind, leading the bronze guards, drew their swords and chased furiously, shouting: "The rebels stop!!"

"Where did the Tantai rebels escape, and surrender quickly!!!!"

"Quickly go and inform Master Ye and Master Cheng of the Fusi of Nanbei Town. Tantai Jingting's whereabouts have been found here, so send someone to arrest him!"

Chu Han's mind is not slow, and when he heard the word "anti-thief", he suddenly realized: "Oops! I made a mistake..."

He made a big negligence, neglecting such an important matter, and made His Majesty the Ninth Prince and the old seven and the eighth fooled.

He didn't mean to cheat his father and his comrades.All of them ignored this detail. Tantai Jingting, the governor of Nanzhen who was wearing the flying fish uniform and worshiped as the fourth rank, logically, in the city of the gods, the commanders and envoys are also high-ranking officials and nobles who can be counted on the fingers. , with heavy soldiers in hand.When Tantai Jingting passed through, why was he covered in bruises and endured humiliation as if he was half-dead?This person had obviously just been whipped, and he might have been stripped of his official position and sent to prison. He even entered the deep prison run by Cheng Beiyuan.

Tantai Jingting's face could not be shown in the God City.

He came up with the idea last night to let His Highness the Ninth Highness take Tantai's official card to enter Nanzhen Fusi to investigate the case. Isn't this just the rebels sent to the door to be arrested, so stupid to cry.

How to do.

Those ghost guards were restrained by Tantai Ninth Highness's strange skill of knocking several people into the air with one tail, so they were temporarily blocked outside the shop and couldn't get in.The old seven and the eighth were also fierce in their fists, dodging and moving.

A school lieutenant sent an order: "Move up the cavalry camp! Call out the iron camp! Call out the spirit archers!..."

"Not good." Fang Chitose whispered.

"Catch the traitor Tantai Jingting!!!" Fang Qiansui suddenly leaned half his body out of the window and shouted intimidatingly.

He pulled Chu Han over and winked: "Let's go downstairs and fight..."

His Highness the Ninth Prince was shocked by the yelling just now, thinking that some kind of evildoer was coming, and then he saw two very familiar Master Liao in blue robes killed upstairs...

The five of them couldn't help but say that they were in a scuffle, the scene was so chaotic that outsiders couldn't get their hands in it, and couldn't see their faces clearly.Fang Qiantui's method of slashing Xiao Jiuye was particularly fierce, one slap after another, causing the man to run around in circles in the lobby of the roast duck restaurant.

The diners and shopkeepers in the lobby were all scared away and disappeared, only the tables, chairs, wine jars and cups and plates were flying around in the air.When His Highness Ninth Prince ran over, he had a broken straw hat on his head, but now the hat was lifted, revealing a handsome face with black eyebrows and big eyes, with no place to hide: "Hey, hello, three..."

His third brother threw a stool at his head.During the fight, Fang Qiantui said in a low voice: "Can you escape from the ground?"

His Highness Jiu dodged the stool: "Huo Dun!"

Fang Qiantui said angrily: "Do you want to burn me to death?"

Another leg of a table came over, His Highness Ninth Prince was compelled by the coercion, compromised and said: "Water, let's escape."

Fang Chitose: "How did you escape your two servants?"

His Highness Nine: "I don't know."

Fang Chitose: "Then you came here?"

His Highness the Ninth Prince: "Hungry mother, all the ghost guards in the city are chasing us! Where can we go!"

Chu Han: "..."

Chu Han said to Mr. Fang: "Think of a trick and help the three of them escape first."

His Royal Highness Ninth Prince clearly could get away, but he did not abandon his two teammates before the battle. He was indeed a good boy who kept his word and showed his loyalty.

The old seven and the eighth repelled several ghost guards who tried to rush in from the gate.A row of bronze men with steel and iron bones charged forward with spears in hand.Lao Qi roared: "How can these ghosts stop?!"

Fang Qiantui kicked Xiao Jiuye's shoulder, turned around and flew towards the door with his palm, and slapped the head of a bronze figure with his palm and smashed the other three.

If Xiao Tieying and the large army of archers were to attack, they would not be able to escape.Fang Chitose caught a glimpse of a large wine vat in each of the four corners of the lobby, which should be the large vat for storing wine in the roast duck restaurant.He jumped up and flew towards the wine vat on the Dongfang Qinglong's seat, reached in and "grabbed" the wine in the vat out of thin air, and sprinkled it into the sky.Then fly to the direction of White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu respectively, grab water from each big tank and sprinkle it!

Chu Han was surprised to see His Highness the third highness' water magic move.

This person fetched water very fast, and he couldn't see the method clearly. In the end, he turned around from the center and twisted out a waterspout.The water rises from somewhere under the ground, and the water level rises from the ground, creating huge waves in an instant, and then the huge waves surge into the sky.The entire second floor of Bianyifang was swallowed by the flood, and the tables and stools flew into the waves.The flood rushed out of the store, and scattered the bronze men who had lined up to besiege...

The roof was covered with thick clouds, water vapor and white mist were flying, and the flood came and went freely.

When the water receded slowly, the people in the house had long since disappeared.

Fang Qiantui led them to sneak all the way along the Shendu underground waterway to the Liao Mansion's mansion.

These water veins also extend in all directions.If Xiao Chitose escapes by himself, he only needs a cup of tea, and flicks his fingers.This is because carrying three big living people, had to waste some skill setbacks.

However, that little Charmander was still an underwater scum, and was beaten several times by a huge wave, bobbing and sinking all the way.The third master Fang held Chu Han in one hand, and Xiao Jiu in the other, and let the old seven and the eight hold His Highness Jiu's feet, and floated a long way in the water.

His Highness Jiu couldn't stop talking, twisting his waist and hips: "Hey, what are you two doing holding your hungry boot calf? It's embarrassing to hug so affectionately."

"Who is embarrassed by you?" Mo Ziba retorted: "Why don't I hug your leg? Otherwise, you go away, I will hug Fang's leg!"

Chu Han's heart moved, and he felt guilty that he heard two points of ambiguity.

Back at Liao's Mansion, the group of them were all wet, and flashed into the house to change their clothes.Chu Han was embarrassed to ask Xiaoziba, afraid of being laughed at, so he took the time to drag Comrade Seventh to the wall outside the door: "Brother Seven, you were wandering in the street last night, didn't you get caught by ghost guards and strange birds?"

Lao Qi shrugged and said: "Why do you need to smell whereabouts? Xiao Jiu's face is wanted by the whole city, and we were chased as soon as we showed our faces."

Chu Han: "I mean... Did Xiaojiu say that you two smell like human flesh, please cover it up for you."

Lao Qi nodded naturally: "Say it."

Chu Han: "..."

Lao Qi took out a sachet from his waist and showed that there were no completely dried flowers and leaves in it: "Xiao Jiu asked us to carry this dragon xingao. The smell of this grass is very strong, and it has a fishy smell, which is really not good You need to change the sachet every three to five days to maintain that breath."

Chu Han: "...Dracaena."

Lao Qi: "Yes. You also brought this? I smell you, and it seems that you also have this smell of xylothema, which is very strong."

Chu Han: "Well, yes... I'm going to change clothes."

Chu Han's ears burst into red tides, and he turned around and went straight to the back room with only one thing on his mind, the third highness, who is romantic and full of nonsense, this young master will definitely explode your ass tonight.
