Chapter 327

Imperial city, a carriage slowly drove out from under the palace gate.

Inside the carriage.

"Brother Jiang, I have heard that your Brother Li has already arrived at the Beiding River and will enter the capital tomorrow. Are you really not going to see him?"

Gu Changsheng looked at Jiang Linxian with a smile.

Jiang Linxian shook his head with a smile:

"Too familiar, seeing or not seeing is the same."

Then he said: "By the way, Brother Gu, please trouble yourself with the subsequent matters."

Gu Changsheng:

"It's all small matters, Brother Jiang, rest assured."

Jiang Linxian nodded.

Actually, even if Li Rui didn't come this time, he would find a way to let Li Rui come to the capital.

Since Li Rui came to the capital because of escorting the Third Princess, it saved him some effort.

Jiang Linxian: "Brother Gu, I heard that the Third Princess is a formidable character; are you not worried?"

He was very self-aware.

He is just the Deputy Gu Jianzheng of the Imperial Observatory; as a Deputy Gu Jianzheng, he just needs to complete the matters entrusted by the Gu Jianzheng well, and he will not take the lead in other major events.

So regarding the Third Princess entering the capital, he has the attitude of a spectator.

Gu Changsheng smiled slightly: "The Fourth Prince has always been discussing Buddhism and Daoism, but in fact, his temperament is most like His Majesty's. This time, being able to marry the Third Princess, he should start to show his edge."

Immediately, his smile became even brighter: "However, what does this have to do with my Imperial Observatory?"

Jiang Linxian was speechless.

After these years of getting along, Gu Changsheng is not only capable but also has a very big heart.

It seems that there is nothing in this world that can make him feel troubled.

Very quickly.

The carriage drove to the gate of the capital city.

Gu Changsheng jumped off the carriage and rarely showed a serious expression: "Brother Jiang, take care along the way; fight if you can, and come back to bring reinforcements if you can't; it's not shameful."

Jiang Linxian rolled his eyes:

"I'll take the Gu Jianzheng's auspicious words."

After finishing.

The carriage drove slowly, kicking up dust and leaving.

The smile at the corner of Gu Changsheng's mouth gradually disappeared.

He muttered to himself:

"Brother Jiang, you don't know how big your identity is; you must not die."

The river surface was wide, there were more and more ships around, and the buildings on the shore were becoming more and more dense.

"Living for decades was all in vain; it's my first time entering the capital."

Tan Hu grinned with a big mouth.

It's not just Tan Hu.

Of the hundreds of people on this ship, those who have been to the capital probably don't count up to five fingers.

"Indeed, this time it's thanks to Big brother's blessing that we can come to the capital to play."

"Damn, if I had known we were going to enter the capital, I should have brought more silver."

"Don't panic, the silver notes of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce are accepted in the Yu Kingdom."

"Good, good, good, tonight, Jiaofang Division, no one is allowed to stop me; whoever stops me, I'll be anxious with them."

Ning Zhongtian and the others chatted enthusiastically.

They were even imagining the pleasant picture of holding former noble ladies of princes and marquises in their arms.

Everyone on the ship stretched their necks to look at the scenery on the shore, watching with great interest.

On one part of the deck.

He Qiannian rarely walked onto the deck, and Li Rui stood beside him, falling half a body behind out of courtesy.

"Jingcheng, in the blink of an eye, it has been a hundred years since I last came."

He Qiannian's eyes were full of nostalgia.

If it weren't for escorting the Third Princess of the Wu Kingdom this time, he might never come to the capital again in his life.

There is no need for that.

"People, they never like to stay in one place for a lifetime. I have lived by this Beiding River since I was a child, and the more I look, the more I dislike it."

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

He silently noted it down.

He Qiannian, ancestral home Zhili, Beiding River.

"Little Li, this capital actually doesn't have much meaning."

"..."

Li Rui was speechless.

You, old man, are someone who has eaten and played, so of course you feel it has no meaning, but there are still these poor brothers below.

Look at Ning Zhongtian and the others.

There is no difference from that old woman surnamed Liu in the past life entering the Grand View Garden.

Their eyeballs were almost falling into the canal.

Even if it were him, he could not be exempt from vulgarity, wanting to see the style of the capital.

Li Rui's peripheral vision looked at the room where the Third Princess was; Chen Ming, who had been guarding in front of the door, had already disappeared. Ever since entering Zhili, he had jumped off the ship and left gracefully.

Because this is Zhili, under the Dragon Court, there will be no trouble.

Even the Ghost Ming Sect would not dare to cause chaos here.

It is very safe.

The big figures in the capital must already know about Chen Ming's action; even if Chen Ming got off the ship now, those big figures who want to take action against the Third Princess need to weigh it carefully.

At least they need to call a Second-Rank Earth Immortal to take action.

Before long, the large ship slowly sailed into the capital, smooth and unobstructed.

The guards of the capital had received notification long ago, and the large ship was exempted from the complicated entry procedures.

The bustling noise exploded in his ears as they passed through the majestic gate.

Countless painted boats, countless merchant ships, and he couldn't even see the shadow of a fishing boat. Extreme prosperity.

Where had Ning Zhongtian and the others seen such a scene? Painted boats docked on the canal that were several stories higher than the Drunken Immortal Building, and ordinary passersby who looked deep in aura and clearly were not ordinary.

What is called crouching tiger, hidden dragon?

In the capital, you might encounter a Primordial martial artist when you go out to eat breakfast.

This is something that was unimaginable in Qinghe, or even the entire Yunzhou.

There is a Jishui Pool in the capital.

It is actually a large pool of water several miles in circumference, which is the main wharf for water transport.

The last character 'Tan' should be 'Yinping', read as 'Tan' tone.

Locals in the capital often use this to judge whether someone is an outsider.

Jishui Pool connects to the moat.

When the large ship Li Rui was on sailed into Jishui Pool, there were already no less than hundreds of merchant ships in the large pool.

Read it without a single error, from beginning to end!

What is called a prosperous scene?

This is a prosperous scene.

It is completely unimaginable for people from Yunzhou.

The large ship slowly docked, and officials from the Court of Diplomatic Reception and eunuchs and palace maids from the palace were already waiting on the shore. The leader was even a big eunuch wearing a bull-fighting suit; just looking at his momentum, one knew that his kung fu must not be bad, at least above Primordial.

"Tsk tsk, worthy of being the best place in the world."

A eunuch is a Primordial.

Li Rui actually had a sense of déjà vu of working hard for a thousand years and then ascending to become a member of the one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers.

That big eunuch walked onto the ship with a smile.

Extremely observant.

He headed straight for the Third Princess's room, not even looking at Li Rui and these outsider officials.

Arrogant.

But he indeed had the capital for arrogance; those who can wear bull-fighting suits are all real eunuchs, Fourth-Rank officials, and they are also serving the Holy Emperor at close range, with even greater power. It would be strange if he could look up to Li Rui and these bumpkins from Yunzhou.

About the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn.

A large group of palace maids surrounded the Third Princess Xia Yun out of the room, got off the ship, and got onto an exquisite and gorgeous small boat, sailing toward the narrow waterway at the corner of Jishui Pool.

That is the way to the moat.

It is to enter the imperial city from the moat.

Li Rui and these people of course did not have the qualifications to enter the imperial city; being able to see it from afar was enough to brag about for a long time after returning to Yunzhou.

After sending off the Third Princess.

Nie Siming returned.

He seemed to be in a very good mood, and he also brought a young official from the Court of Diplomatic Reception.

That young official was very polite:

"Everyone has come from afar, you have worked hard. Our Court of Diplomatic Reception has prepared accommodation for all the lords; please rest for a few days. There are many places to play in the capital; you might as well walk around."

The Court of Diplomatic Reception is one of the Nine Courts, in charge of foreign guests and court ceremonies; those who can be served by the Court of Diplomatic Reception are all imperial relatives and nobles.

One Annan Town is not enough to qualify for the Court of Diplomatic Reception to come forward.

Li Rui benefited from the Third Princess Xia Yun.

Before getting married, Xia Yun is the princess of the Wu Kingdom, which is foreign affairs, so of course, there must be a reception by the Court of Diplomatic Reception.

Ning Zhongtian and the other soldiers heard this, and the excitement in their eyes increased.

They had enough of the river wind and almost lost their lives.

Finally, it was time to enjoy.

That young official from the Court of Diplomatic Reception led the Anning Guard group to a quiet residence near Jishui Pool.

This is precisely the Guest Reception Office of the Court of Diplomatic Reception.

The so-called Guest Reception Office is the accommodation provided by the Court of Diplomatic Reception for foreign envoys; it cannot be called luxurious, but it wins by being quiet in the midst of noise.

In the capital, judging a family's status by the gorgeous decoration of a house is inferior.

The key is the location.

A small courtyard by the imperial city is rarer than an eight-entry mansion on the edge of the city; you can't even ask for it. Third-Rank officials have to queue up, and maybe they won't have the chance to live at the foot of the imperial city until they die.

Who told the capital that the least lacking thing is princes, marquises, generals, and ministers.

"This is not much."

Ning Zhongtian rushed into the Guest Reception Office excitedly, and immediately lost interest.

Although this Guest Reception Office can be considered quiet and elegant.

But compared to the Anning Guard's own residence, it was still inferior, so of course he didn't find it strange.

Li Rui crossed the gate with a smile and instructed Ning Zhongtian:

"General Nie said that we will stay in the capital for seven days. Tell the brothers under you to keep a low profile and don't cause trouble. You must travel in groups of five. If anyone breaks the rules and goes out alone, they will be dealt with by military law."

"Good, big brother."

Ning Zhongtian nodded seriously.

This is the capital; there are too many existences that cannot be provoked.

If you are not careful, you will offend big figures; it would be fine if you lose your own life, but it would be troublesome if you burn the disaster to the Anning Guard.

Nie Siming's name is not useful in the capital.

Because no amount of strict restraint is too much.

Li Rui did not completely forbid these hundred people from going out, knowing the principle that blocking is not as good as dredging; managing too strictly would be counterproductive and cause big trouble; it only needs to be restrained.

The Anning Guard group had just settled down.

Not long after.

There were not many people left in the Guest Reception Office, and even Nie Siming and He Qiannian went out together.

Li Rui did not rush to go out.

But stayed in the Guest Reception Office until evening, until someone knocked on his door.

As soon as he opened the door.

He saw a middle-aged man with an outstanding momentum and an extremely extraordinary appearance standing at the door.

That middle-aged man opened his mouth with a smile:

"Brother Li, right? My name is Gu Changsheng."
