After hearing this Yin Zha briefly explain the cause and effect, Ye Ming finally understood some of the reasons why it was so difficult to deal with the ghost affairs in the capital.
This is not a simple mortal bad thing, but a manifestation of the Xu country’s bad luck for hundreds of years!
There is no doubt that this is a good thing for Ye Ming.
He had Yang Luming's body to rely on, so he was not afraid of various demon-killing arrangements in the capital, but it was difficult for Lei Ling and the others to get in.
But it's different now. With Princess Lingbi here, there's no need to worry.
This person is a real royal family, and he also has some national destiny. With just one word, he can let Lei Ling and others enter and exit the capital freely.
"Lingbi, we are about to enter the city, so I ask you, a local, to take care of us."
Ye Ming suddenly said politely to Princess Lingbi.
"Brother Yang, what are you talking about? A little friendship is a matter of course. If you are in the capital, I can help you with anything that Lingbi can solve."
Obtaining Princess Lingbi's words is equivalent to letting Lei Ling and others be classified as friends by Princess Lingbi, and they will not be affected by many arrangements in the capital.
As Princess Lingbi was a princess, no one in the capital would dare to interrogate her. After learning her identity, the city guards respectfully let her into the city.
The guy who was pulling the cart, Pig Hairy Foot, looked at the plaque on the city gate and a bunch of magic weapons with a little fear, but when he saw that none of these things were aimed at him, he felt relieved and hurriedly pulled the cart into the city.
Now is the New Year, and the city is very lively, with an endless stream of people coming and going, and many business travelers.
There are countless teahouses and restaurants around, and all kinds of markets can be found here.
When I got here, I felt like I had seen the world.
The pig-haired guy pulling the cart looked like a country bumpkin going into town. He looked around and everything he saw felt new. When he saw something he was happy about, he even made a humming sound.
"Why are you so stunned? You're pulling a car!"
Ye Ming's urging voice came from the carriage, and Pig Hairy Foot curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
This guy is really a disgrace.
The captain of the guard led people on horseback to clear the way. Relatively speaking, they were much more civilized in what they did. They just asked the people to make way, and they did not have the behavior of whipping the people at every turn.
I think it was Princess Lingbi who had specifically given instructions.
The common people were a little unfamiliar with the flag on Princess Lingbi's carriage, but some people still remembered who Princess Lingbi was.
"I remember, isn't this the 'disfigured princess'?"
"'Disfigured Princess'? Didn't I hear that she was burned to death? How is she still alive?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I just went to the fiefdom to rest."
"Then now that she's back, could it be that her appearance has recovered?"
"Isn't it possible? I heard that it was burns all over the body. Unless there is magic from a god, it will never be cured."
"How are you sure that I haven't met any gods?"
"If gods are so easy to meet, can they still be called gods?"
"Right."
...
The people were talking a lot about Princess Lingbi's return, but they didn't care much.
Common people like gossip the most, but the disfigured Princess Lingbi obviously does not have the kind of gossip they want to talk about. After discussing for a while, they talked about other things.
In the crowd, an ordinary-looking, unremarkable person was also joining in the fun.
As he was watching, he suddenly noticed that a person in the carriage opened the curtain and looked at him with his eyes closed.
The man was shocked. He didn't expect that this person was actually in the princess's car.
The person disguised as an ordinary person is none other than Wa Shangfei, who came to the capital first to inquire about the news.
At that time, Zi Zhengwen's government left, and Ye Ming went to help Miss Chang and her daughter arrange their places to go, while he came directly to the capital.
Because he had some unexplained thoughts, Wa Shangfei worked extra hard.
After arriving in the capital, I first contacted the major colleagues in the capital, bought information from them, and established information channels.
There is a lot of treasure obtained from the Chang family's warehouse, which is more than enough to do these things.
Wa Shangfei, who originally wanted to show off his ability after Ye Ming arrived, felt pressured now.
When someone is with the princess of the current dynasty, the information channels will definitely be good, and the information you collect may not be able to catch this person's eyes.
What's more, this guy didn't even open his eyes.
Wa Shangfei quietly withdrew from the crowd, planning to strengthen information collection...
"Brother Yang, did you see an acquaintance again?"
When Princess Lingbi saw Ye Ming opening the curtain, she seemed to be looking at someone.
Zhao Yuwan also became nervous, fearing that Ye Ming would meet a familiar woman again.
She couldn't help but be afraid.
In the past two days, she has successfully conquered Wheat Sui.
From Maisui's mouth, he learned a lot about what they encountered along the way.
Knowing that the woman in front of him is definitely not a minority, it would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.
Regarding Princess Lingbi's question and Zhao Yuwan's nervous eyes, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"A friend with whom I have a good relationship, um, a woman, quite beautiful, slim, handsome, gentle, well-educated..."
"Is it really that good?"
Zhao Yuwan asked, thinking she was not interested at all.
"of course."
Ye Ming said that was indeed the case.
Zhao Yuwan suddenly felt depressed and looked at Mai Sui, wanting to ask Mai Sui for confirmation.
Maisui didn't see Fei on the tile, thinking that Ye Ming was talking about Jun Shuixiu, the daughter of Lord Xinjun Lake God, and nodded:
"Daddy knows a very beautiful sister. She covers her face and dances very well."
"very beautiful......"
Zhao Yuwan unconsciously began to outline the appearance of the woman she had never met before in her mind.
Seeing Zhao Yuwan like this, Princess Lingbi burst into laughter and said to Ye Ming:
"Brother Yang, I have to say that sometimes you do have a bit of a bad taste."
"Lingbi, what you said is wrong. I don't agree."
"What's wrong?"
"It's not sometimes, it's always in bad taste."
"Pfft~~"
Princess Lingbi, who had been in a bad mood since entering the capital, couldn't help but laugh.
Ye Ming was still smiling and took another sip from the gourd on his waist.
Zhao Yuwan frowned when she saw Ye Ming taking another sip of wine.
"Mr. Yang, drinking too much can easily harm your body."
"Not much, just one bite."
"You've had sixteen sips since you entered the city!"
"Are you counting this? I only have such a big gourd. I only have a little bit in one mouthful. It's really not much."
"real?"
Zhao Yuwan was dubious, but when she saw that the gourd in Ye Ming's hand was indeed not big and seemed unable to hold much wine, she became a little convinced.
Every father has a thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket, such as Ye Ming, he also has one.
"Sister Zhao, daddy's gourd is a treasure and can hold a river of water."
Ye Ming, who was taking another sip of wine, almost choked and almost opened his eyes to look at Mai Sui.
Is this how you betrayed your father?
Maisui looked like she didn't see Ye Ming's expression, hugged Lei Ling, and sat next to Zhao Yuwan.
Zhao Yuwan's eyes suddenly showed a hint of anger:
"Mr. Yang, can you show me your gourd?"
...
Although Princess Lingbi has been in Pingzhou all these years, she has always kept her residence in the capital. When she comes back now, she can just move in directly.
This is also the privilege of the Kyoto royal family. The residence of each royal family member will be retained until their death.
After that, it will be passed on to other members of the royal family and will never fall into the hands of outsiders.
Over the years, there have been many vacant royal residences like this in the capital.
Princess Lingbi got off the carriage by herself, without any support or any help.
Zhao Yuwan held Maisui's little hand in one hand and held a gourd in the other.
Ye Ming, who was the last to come down, had a lifeless look on his face. He rubbed his hands from time to time and looked at the gourd in Zhao Yuwan's hand.
It was getting dark by now, and the servants who had returned home early had prepared dinner, and everyone gathered together to eat.
When the captain of the guard saw Ye Ming sitting at the table with Princess Lingbi without any dignity, his eyes almost burst with fire, and he was about to stab someone with a knife.
But before he could take action, Princess Lingbi ordered him to retreat.
The guard captain, full of unwillingness, snorted at Ye Ming, said "demon", and left angrily.
"I really don't understand the rules. I'm sitting with my best friend. It's none of your business. You're so lenient!"
Ye Ming said, then turned to Zhao Yuwan and said,
"It's dinner time now. Can I have a drink? Is that okay?"
Zhao Yuwan thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to hold Ye Ming's gourd all the time, and she was afraid of causing Ye Ming's resentment, so she returned the gourd.
After taking back the gourd, Ye Minggululu poured it into his mouth, looking like he hadn't drank in eight hundred years.
Lei Ling, who had turned into a human form, rolled her eyes and mocked:
"Damn drunkard!"
Zhao Yuwan said a little strangely:
"I remember that although Mr. Yang used to drink, he was not so exaggerated. It has only been a few months, why has it become like this?"
Lei Ling spread her hands:
"Who knows? No one forced him to drink, he just drank like this."
No one knows how many dishes Ye Ming ate during this dinner, but he probably drank several vats of wine.
Immediately after the meal, Zhao Yuwan took away Ye Ming's gourd to prevent him from drinking any more.
Without the wine, Ye Ming stared at the sky in the yard, as if waiting for something.
After a while, I heard several birds chirping from outside the yard.
There were naturally no birds in this season. When he heard the sound, Ye Ming said directly:
"Stop shouting, just come in!"
When I was young, I saw a man in black sneaking into the yard, looking around suspiciously.
"There's nothing to be careful about here, just relax."
Ye Ming waved his hand at the behavior of the man in black.
The man in black still believed in Ye Ming. He looked around and asked:
"Your cat?"
"Lei Ling and Mai Sui are in the house. Do you need to ask them to come out?"
Ye Ming naturally knew what Wa Shangfei had planned.
However, how can we make people do things without giving them some motivation?
So don't say anything hurtful.
"No, no need. It's so late, so I won't disturb their rest."
"Okay, tell me what news you got!"
"Please take a look."
Wa Shangfei took out a bound book directly from his body and handed it to Ye Ming.
The four characters "Secrets of the Capital" are written crookedly on the cover.
"These are all kinds of reliable secrets in the capital that the villain has collected in the past few days. I believe it will be helpful for your next actions."
Ye Ming flipped through a few pages and came to a conclusion.
It's time for Wa Shangfei to practice calligraphy, but he can't even read it.
Just like this, how did he have the nerve to bind it into a book? Does he want to be infamous on the pillar of shame of calligraphy forever?
However, some of the information and secrets recorded here are indeed useful, and there are a few that Ye Ming feels may be useful.
"This is a good job. Come here and give you a reward."
Hearing that there was a reward, Wa Shangfei perked up.
Ye Ming gave him a white pill.
"Mr. Yang, what is this?"
"I met a pervert on the way. This was what the pervert left behind after his death."
"Why did you give me this?"
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are discounts in Huajie and Liuxiang in the capital. With this pill, you can have fun."
"Mr. Yang, I am not such a person. I am a person who is single-minded and has a rock-like heart. I would never do such a thing. You have misjudged the wrong person!"
"I'll give you another two thousand taels of silver notes."
"You're really good at judging people! Then, am I going?"
"get out!"
"okay!"
