Since everyone said so, Chu Zihan and Yan Zeyu did not stop in the imperial city. After saying goodbye to Chen Feifan and the man, they continued north to find Jia Yanjia in Tanhai City.
Looking at the backs of the two men riding away, for a moment, Chen Feifan wanted to follow them.
The Imperial City is the largest city in the Longding Kingdom. This is Chen Feifei's first time here. The towering and long city walls, the huge and thick city gates, the mighty and majestic soldiers are all shocking to Chen Feifan. It is the imperial city and the capital of Longding Kingdom.
There is a notice outside the city gate, which states that if you are not a high-ranking official, you must dismount your horse and walk after entering the imperial city. Both of them have no status, so they can only dismount at the city gate, and then lead the horse on foot. If the two of them entered on horseback, they would definitely be intercepted by the officers and soldiers at the city gate, but how to tell who is the dignitary?
Chen Feifan told the man this question, and the man replied with a smile: "Not all dignitaries can ride horses in this city. Only those who get the gold medal issued by the government and hang the gold medal on the horse are qualified to ride in the city." This city is rampant; those who have the ability to win gold medals are naturally either rich or noble."
The two entered from the south gate. The layout of the city was orderly, with avenues running horizontally and vertically, and shops on both sides of the road. At noon, people were coming and going, making it very lively.
The man was familiar with this place. He led Chen Feifan straight north. After passing three more streets, he then went east two streets and stopped at the door of a small house.
"The gang leader is inside." As soon as the man finished speaking, while Chen Feifan was still hesitating whether to go in, Shen Chujie opened the door and walked out.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Shen Chujie was the first to speak: "Feifan. You are finally here."
"Uncle Shen." Chen Feifan only knew that Shen Chujie wanted to see him, but he didn't know why.
"Come, let's go inside and chat." Shen Chujie said and brought the two of them into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Chen Feifan found that Village Chief Yang was also there. When he saw the three people coming in, he stood up quickly and greeted them with the same smile: "Feifan, you are here. You must be tired from the journey. Come on, let's go inside first."
Now that Chen Feifan is here, Shen Chujie seems to have canceled his plan to go out. While Village Chief Yang is speaking to Chen Feifan, he walks up to one of the people in the courtyard and whispers a few words. The man nods and walks out of the yard. .
"Uncle Shen, Village Chief Yang, why did you come to the Imperial City with me?" Chen Feifan always felt that the two of them were hiding something from him, but he couldn't explain why he felt this way.
Shen Chujie responded first: "No rush, I will let Afeng and Lao Zhu accompany you to walk around the imperial city tomorrow. We will talk about some things in a few days."
Since Shen Chujie didn't want to talk about other things for the time being, Chen Feifan stopped talking. It was his first time in the imperial city and he really wanted to take a look around. The man who brought him to the Imperial City quietly left here while the three of them were talking. Obviously, that man's mission ended here.
After a tiring journey, he rested in this courtyard. In the evening, Shen Chujie and Village Chief Yang took care of him and went to a nearby hotel for a feast.
After a night of silence, Afeng and Lao Zhu took Chen Feifan out the next day. The imperial city was very big, but they couldn't ride a horse, so they took him to the center of the imperial city.
There was a lot of traffic and people coming and going. The Imperial City was indeed larger than any city Chen Feifan had ever been to. It was indeed extraordinary under the feet of the Human Emperor.
There is also a city wall in the center of the imperial city, which can be seen from a distance. It is higher than the city wall outside. Seeing Chen Feifan looking over there, A Feng said with a busy smile: "That's the imperial palace inside."
Before Chen Fei could speak, Lao Zhu on the other side continued: "That's where the emperor lives. Ordinary people can't enter, but we can take a look outside the moat."
"Yes, you can take a look." Afeng added, "When you get here, if you don't take a look outside the inner city wall, then this trip will be in vain."
Chen Feifan was not very interested in the scenery outside the inner city wall, but both of them suggested going to see it, and he couldn't refuse, so he followed them forward.
The three of them chatted and walked around. After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at the east side of the inner city wall. I heard that the inner city also had a gate on four sides, which was considered a city within the city. Inside the inner city wall was the imperial palace, which was the Dragon Cauldron. The emperor of the country, the Nine Emperors, lived in the palace. What was inside? I'm afraid ordinary people will never know it in their lifetime.
The three of them gradually approached and saw that outside the inner city wall was a moat about fifty paces wide. On the opposite side of the river was a smooth and hard city wall. There were soldiers guarding the city wall and the city gate; but there was no grass or grass on this side of the river. Yes, there are soldiers patrolling back and forth, which can be said to be heavily guarded.
Not many people know what is going on in the inner city, but there are many people who hear about it, with all kinds of stories. Chen Feifan also listened to the two people accompanying him recounting the rumors they had learned from the people; between the two of you, you One by one, each expressed his or her own opinion. Chen Feifan remained silent and just took it for granted.
Chen Feifan had hardly enjoyed such a comfortable and comfortable life in the past few years. He ate and drank with the two of them and almost forgot about the business of the trip; the imperial city was really too big, and the three of them spent three days wandering around. Very rare.
At this time, the three of them stayed at an inn in the west of the city. After dinner, Chen Feifan had nothing to do, so he went out for a walk alone. Afeng and Lao Zhu didn't seem to be from the Yunlong Sword Sect. After visiting the Three-Day Imperial City, the two Everyone's face looked a little tired. After eating and drinking, they went back to their rooms to rest early.
After three days of playing in the Imperial City, it was almost time to ask Shen Chujie and Village Chief Yang why they let him come here.
When thinking of this, Chen Feifan thought of Danyunju again. He wondered if there were Danyunju's spies in the imperial city. Ke Qi's eldest brother Ke Liang was an official in the imperial city. According to the style of Ke Qi and Han Lin, There should be spies in the imperial city, but he just doesn't know how to find them; he has a small bottle to summon the eagle, but it's too early to use it now.
After thinking about it, he casually walked to a street where he didn't even know where he was. Looking at the crowds still bustling under the lights, he stopped on the street.
Should we go back to the inn at this time, or continue walking forward? Chen Feifan was a little undecided. It seemed that he could do either.
While he was still thinking, an ordinary-looking man in his twenties walked towards him. He saluted him and said, "Brother Chen, little Liu Ruquan, if you need anything in the imperial city, just ask me. There is also Danyun Residence in the city, you are welcome to come over at any time.”
Chen Feifan did not expect that Danyunju's business was getting bigger and bigger. Now there is even Danyunju in the imperial city, which shows Han Lin's strong business ability.
