Chapter 466 Entering Beijing
"Haha, Mr. Tang, you don't have to be polite. This little thing is nothing compared to your life-saving grace." Yue Qianyang waved his hand and continued: " It’s a long journey, Brother Tang, why don’t you come to my younger brother’s tent for a cup of tea?”
Liang Yan knew that he intended to make friends with him, and also thought that he really needed some connections in the capital, so he nodded and agreed.
The two of them sat down separately in the camp, while Ah-Dai stood behind Liang Yan without saying a word, just standing with his hands behind his hands, looking indifferent. Although he is tall, he does not have the muscles of an ordinary martial arts practitioner. Apart from his slightly wider shoulders, there is nothing unusual about him.
In normal times, Yue Qianyang would not have even looked at this person, but after what happened just now, Ah-Dai was like a god of murder in the minds of everyone.
"It's inconvenient to drink while on business trip. Brother Tang, Mr. Yue would like to drink tea instead of wine. I'd like to propose a toast to you!" Yue Qianyang picked up the teacup and raised his glass to Liang Yan to invite him.
"Brother Yue, you're welcome!" Liang Yan also picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.
"Brother Tang, I think you are a mighty and majestic guard!" Yue Qianyang first praised, and then sighed: "Our Jinding Chamber of Commerce has business all over the country of Yue. Over the years, Corporal Lixian has also I haven't recruited a hero who can compete with Dumb."
Liang Yan smiled slightly when he heard this and did not answer his words. Instead, he asked about things in the capital.
Na Yue Qianyang was very talkative, and his words were also quite humorous. The two of them just chatted for a while, and Liang Yan already had a general understanding of the appearance of the capital.
Today's emperor is called King Wu. This man is civilized and military. Since he came to power, he has not only regained the previously lost territory, but also expanded the territory of Yue to an unprecedented level.
He is strict in his internal laws, and he will be rewarded for his merits and punished for his mistakes. The prime minister was abolished and the world was governed by six ministries, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Work. These six ministers are the highest people in power under the emperor.
In addition, there is also the Tianxian Division, which monitors the world on behalf of the emperor and is independent of the six ministries. Although it only has less than ten For many years, he has repeatedly solved strange cases and is now deeply trusted by the emperor.
Yue Qianyang talked eloquently, and Liang Yan was even more willing to listen. The two of them held a candle in the tent and talked at night, like old friends for many years, until midnight.
“It turns out that there are so many interesting stories in the capital, Tang has learned a lesson!” Liang Yan cupped his hands towards Yue Qianyang and said, “It’s getting late today, so Tang won’t bother Brother Yue. Rest.”
Yue Qianyang smiled slightly and said: "It is a great blessing for Yue to get to know Brother Tang. Why bother? But it is indeed getting late today. Brother Tang should go back and rest early. After this incident, let's We have to hurry up tomorrow."
Liang Yan nodded, turned around and left Yue Qianyang's camp.
In fact, how could he not know that the corpse monk who came to attack the caravan today was probably targeting this yellow-faced boy. Combined with this person's conversation and the attitude of the caravan guards towards him, we can naturally guess that his identity is unusual.
In the past, Liang Yan would not have been willing to get involved in such secular matters, but now he has a mission and does not know the capital of Yue at all, so he has some thoughts of making friends. .
He returned to his camp, had a brief chat with Ah-Dai, and asked about the situation of the corpse monk before, then he stopped talking and closed his eyes to meditate.
In the early morning of the next day, the guards of the Jinding Caravan woke up the merchants who were still sleeping, whipped up their whips, and started on their way.
After this attack, the Jinding caravan seems to have sped up its journey. Unless there are special circumstances, they will never dismount and camp. They only eat the dry food they carry with them, and there is no hunting or cooking. Lift. And they only choose some hidden paths instead of taking the official and business roads.
Another half month passed in this way. Just when the businessmen accompanying the team were getting a little tired, they suddenly heard a guard in front of the team shout loudly: "Climb over the mound in front and you can see The capital is in the capital!" After hearing this, everyone was in high spirits. Some people even cheered loudly in the carriage. Liang Yan also opened the curtains and looked forward.
As the convoy climbed onto the mound, a majestic city appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone climbed up to look at it. Looking down at the past, they realized that the majesty of this royal city was by no means comparable to any other city in Yue Kingdom. Even Liang Yan secretly thought in his heart: "With the size of this city, it is probably more than ten times bigger than the Zhiyuan City of Wu State!"
Some people shouted in the car Said: "I, Lao Li, have been doing business for decades in my life, only hanging out in some remote towns. Now I am lucky enough to see the royal city. It is a life well spent!"
After hearing this, everyone laughed, and some People praised what he said was good. But no matter what the wealthy businessmen in the car said, the convoy always moved forward slowly without stopping at all.
This section of the road is actually not short. Everyone saw the capital from a distance in the early morning, but when they arrived at the gate of the city, it was already evening.
The convoy had customs clearance documents from the Jinding Chamber of Commerce. Although the guards at the city gate inspected them strictly, they quickly let everyone into the city after verifying the documents.
"I have arrived in the capital. I don't know what brother Tang has planned next. Do you need me to arrange accommodation for you?" Yue Qianyang walked to Liang Yan and asked with his hands in hand.
Liang Yan smiled slightly and rejected Yue Qianyang's kindness. He only said that he still had a few friends in the capital and was going to visit them this time.
"That's it." Yue Qianyang sighed softly, took out a yellow token from his sleeve, handed it into Liang Yan's hand, and said solemnly: "If Brother Tang is in the capital, If you encounter any difficulties, you can bring this token to the Jinding Chamber of Commerce to find me. As long as you can do what you can, I will definitely help you!"
Liang Yan did not hesitate, After taking the token, he immediately cupped his fist and said, "Then Tang will accept this thing. I won't have to go to the house to chat in the future."
"Haha!" Yue Qianyang seemed very happy and stretched out his hand. He patted Liang Yan on the shoulder and laughed again: "We are waiting for Brother Tang to arrive. I will definitely let you taste the special wine of our Jinding Chamber of Commerce!"
The two greeted each other politely, made a drinking appointment, and separated after entering the city.
Speaking of it, the capital city of the Yue Kingdom was indeed a hundred times more lively than any other city Liang Yan had seen before, especially the Zhuque District where he was currently located.
After King Wu ascended the throne, he divided the capital into five areas. Among them, the Zhuque District was mostly populated by merchants and ordinary people. Therefore, there were three religions and nine streams here, a mixture of fish and dragons, and it was the most lively area.
Liang Yan was silent, and Ah-Dai beside him was also a dull gourd. The two of them were walking through the bustling market, but they seemed a bit out of place.
However, they were not tourists here. After passing through several streets and turning into a remote alley, Liang Yan arrived at the destination of his trip.
I saw an old courtyard in front of me, with a vermilion wooden door in the courtyard, and a plaque hanging on the wooden door.
Exactly: "Ethical Pawnshop"!
