Because it was already late spring, all the forests were already lush and lush. The tree trunks and gaps between the branches were filled with dense leaves, blocking all the sunlight shining here.
Among the wild grass growing on the ground, some fallen leaves were mixed in, and then swayed to both sides with the faint traces of wind.
One mile to the west of this dense forest is a high-walled manor comparable to a small town.
The blue-grey city wall outside this huge manor meanders along a river, and it’s unknown how far it spreads. It occupies a radius of several miles.
Above the scholarly door, there are three large characters written with a pen and a knife.
"Tongwen Museum".
This is Tongwen Hall, one of the three major organizations in the world, but now it seems that there are only two organizations.
The Xuanming Sect almost disappeared after the death of Zhu Wen and Emperor Ming, and it no longer had the majestic momentum it once had in the Central Plains.
In addition, after the death of Emperor Ming, the leader of the Xuanming Sect, Meng Po, also disappeared. Naturally, the power of the Xuanming Sect became less powerful day by day. Now that the Tang Dynasty has risen, it has beaten Liang Guo to the ground for two consecutive chapters. The people of Xuanming Sect are like rats crossing the street, and they no longer dare to be as arrogant as before.
Therefore, this Tongwen Hall has a vague reputation as the largest organization in the world.
Compared with Huanyinfang and Tongwenguan, in the hearts of people today, there is always the idea that women are inferior to men. Therefore, the name of Tongwenguan will naturally be louder.
Li Jing stood on the lush tree trunk, standing on the high branch above the trunk, and could see most of the Tongwen Pavilion.
Compared to the time when Bago and I came here a year ago, the Tongwen Museum now looked much bleaker, and there were no such scenes of people coming and going at the door. Instead, it took a long time for a figure to come out in a hurry.
Li Jing frowned slightly and jumped down from the branch. Deep in the forest, Chi Meng was waiting for him with two horses.
From this point of view, it seems that there are quite a few people sent by Tongwenguan to go south to the Central Plains...
"Little Guo Guo Guo, let's just sneak in. I can let the bugs explore the way in front first."
Chi Meng saw Li Jing approaching with a frown, so he stood on tiptoe and glanced towards the dense forest. Apart from the open space covered by the dense forest, he could only vaguely see the bluestone city wall in the distance.
She opened her palm, and there was a small flying insect with wings, lying quietly in her palm, shaking its wings slowly and regularly.
Li Jing thought for a while and shook his head.
There is no doubt that the movement of the Jin army is going straight south. There is nothing to see when entering the Tongwen Pavilion. There is really no need.
He smiled and picked up the insect from Chi Meng's hand and placed it on his fingertips. He watched the little flying insect fluttering its wings, and it looked indeed very agile.
Chi Meng looked away with regret, she still wanted to show off her abilities in front of Li Jing.
Of course, Li Jing knew what Chi Meng was thinking, but there was no need to waste this time. She smiled and brought her mount to Chi Meng.
"Of course I understand Chi Meng's Gu technique. It's better than the next. But this is not the time to use it. It can only be effective when the right time comes to use it."
Only then did Chi Meng become happy, and he rode on the horse side by side with Li Jing, pulled the horse's head, and headed towards Taiyuan City.
The weeds on the roadside also quickly fell backwards as the two rode, being affected by the mud and smashing to the ground.
Just after the two people left, at the gate of Tongwen Hall, a figure in white clothes with droopy ears came out slowly surrounded by people.
…………
After Li Jing and Chi Meng entered Taiyuan City, they could also feel that the atmosphere in Taiyuan City was unusual and a lot bleak. It did not look like the countless giant cities in this era. First update@
There are too few pedestrians on the street. You know, the various forces now rarely set curfews except during wartime. What's more, it is daytime, and the number of pedestrians on the street seems to be reduced by a few percent.
Li Jing had been in Taiyuan for about half a month and was quite familiar with the place. She put on a mask and took Chi Meng for a walk first.
Chi Meng was also a little curious about the capital of Jin State. The two of them were on the street. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 224 Return to Taiyuan
After walking with the horse, we slowly found an inn that looked quite luxurious and lively.
This inn occupies a small half of the street, with a three-story building between the two-story building. It can be regarded as a five-star hotel in this era.
Li Jing was not short of money now, and of course he would not be short of money anymore. He immediately threw his and Chi Meng's mounts to the waiter, and strode into the inn with Chi Meng.
The first floor of this inn is equivalent to a restaurant, but every seat is separated by a screen, which makes it look very elegant. At this time, because it was close to noon, there were also many people from the inn passing through carrying various kinds of food.
After Li Jing took a quick look at the situation here, he didn't notice any different aura, so he pulled Chi Meng to the counter.
"A soft-bed room, quieter, with food and drinks provided."
Li Jing did not carry the sword box behind his back, but carried it in his hand. He carried a baggage on his back. Chi Meng took out two silver ingots from the baggage and placed them on the counter.
Li Jing and Chi Meng's clothes were both made of fine fabrics. The innkeeper paid attention to them as soon as they came in. When he saw Li Jing being so generous, his face immediately turned into a chrysanthemum smile. , he didn’t even think about the calculation, and walked out from behind the counter himself.
"Young Master, Miss, if you want a quiet place, you have to go to the elegant pavilion on the third floor of my house. The terrain is extremely high and you can overlook the entire East City. The equipment is also complete, and there is no noise at all."
In this era, there are no soundproofing materials, so the loud noises of people can easily penetrate through the walls. Living in a higher place can also avoid these noises.
Li Jing glanced at Chi Meng and saw that she had no problem, so she nodded and stuffed a little more money into her.
"Take good care of my two horses, thank you."
Seeing Li Jing's generous move, the shopkeeper was as heroic as a cloud and just waved his hand.
"Don't worry, young master, you just need to stay at my house for a few days, take care of your horse, and gain a few pounds of fat!"
Li Jing smiled and didn't take it seriously, so she and Chi Meng followed the shopkeeper upstairs.
But just as the three of them were going up the stairs, they heard a medium-low voice from among the diners on this floor. Although the sound was cut off a lot by the screen, it was only clear to Li Jing's ears. Incomparable.
"I heard that King Jin met a real orphan of the Tang Dynasty yesterday... and a Khitan man."
"So, the one from Luoyang..."
Leaving aside the accuracy of the information contained in these words, Li Jing's eyes were slightly concealed. Update without error@
