Rune

Chapter 31

I don't know how many days have passed, but the days have not changed much.

But the atmosphere of the caravan gradually became less dull, and people's faces always showed some tired but excited expressions from time to time.

At night, we repaired and set up camp.

This time the camp was set up very sloppily, and some people even gave up opening the tents altogether, but took out the wine they had kept along the way.The guards who usually patrol at night have also relaxed their vigilance.

Everyone set up a bonfire, sat around together, didn't count rations and jerky at all, drank happily, laughed and pushed, and even the most silent people along the way joined in this loose atmosphere.

Because tomorrow we will arrive at the capital.

The Chao capital is very large and majestic. It is said that the city wall is so high that it can cover the sun. If you look at both sides, you can't see the edge at all.

Outside the capital city, there are no fertile fields, no military fortresses, only wide commercial roads, gathering here from all directions, just like the old saying, the prosperity of the world lies in the imperial capital.

At this time, the carriages and horses of Duo'er's party did not continue to mix in the caravan, but left quietly. In the night, the horses and carriages all headed towards the majestic city-state that was not yet visible.

Now, these people don't need the caravan as a means of concealing others, they just enter the city overnight, and this escort mission is a perfect end.

Beside the carriages and horses, the two stood facing each other, Mr. Gao still had that humble look.

"Brother Xu, this is a document quickly sent by the government in the capital city. It can prove that I have temporary guardianship duties for Miss Doer. The seal is forged with a talisman furnace and cannot be faked. Please have a look."

Xu Baiyan took the document. Although he had confirmed Duo'er's relationship with these people at this time, he still read it carefully. Finally, he bowed deeply to Mr. Gao: "Thank you, Mr. Gao."

This gift is an apology for the trouble I caused the other party before, and this thank you is also because Mr. Xie Gao is not fussy, but the attitude is definitely not admitting mistakes, because if Xu Baiyan is asked to do it again, he will still protect Duo'er.

"You're being polite." Master Gao quickly replied with a smile, "Brother Xu, after this farewell, we should never see each other again."

"Junior understands."

"The school admission. Really don't need help?"

Xu Baiyan nodded sincerely: "No need, the junior thanked you for this."

During the daytime today, Mr. Gao found Xu Baiyan. Since he knew that the other party wanted to study in the capital, he would naturally help if he could help.

For example, this exam is the most prestigious school in the entire Great Qin Empire. The exam in the imperial capital is naturally difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, it is still a Daqin school, so if someone manages it, it can still save trouble.

But as expected, this overly upright boy finally rejected Mr. Gao's kindness.

The reason is also very simple. That is. Everyone is really talented in the exam, how can they cheat.

After getting along with the young man these days, Mr. Gao has already figured out his temperament, so he won't say more.

The two bowed hands to each other, and the encounter along the way was just an episode in their lives.

"Brother Xu won't send it off."

"Master Gao, be careful all the way."

The last sentence of the two of them was extremely simple and clear.

Xu Baiyan was about to turn around.
"Your name." Suddenly, a voice came.

After staying with Duo'er for so long, Xu Baiyan naturally recognized the other party's voice. He turned around and saw the little girl who was still sleepy, obviously just woke up.

He smiled: "Xu Baiyan."

"Oh." Duo'er nodded.

These days, in fact, she has known Xu Baiyan's name for a long time, but it seems that if she doesn't ask herself, and the other party doesn't say it, then it doesn't count.

In the caravan in the distance, the drunkenness seemed to have subsided a bit, and the noise began to grow louder.

Several carriages and horses were just so silent, heading into the night.

Xu Baiyan turned around and joined the quarrel of the caravan
Drank all night.

On the second day, Xiongcheng was close in sight.

Seen from a distance, the Chao capital looks extremely lonely, a city wall stands straight in sight, and there is nothing around.

There is only a monotonous wideness, and in this wideness, there is a sense of majesty that embraces all rivers, never dodging or avoiding, always standing in the center of the Great Qin Empire, the city walls are towering, the city gates are never closed, facing all things in the world wide open.

As the convoy moved forward slowly, the capital became bigger and bigger in sight, but every time you felt that it was already huge enough to exceed your imagination, you realized that there was still a long way to go.

It was not until ten o'clock at night that the caravan finally arrived at the foot of the capital.

Xu Baiyan raised his head and felt that his neck was a little sore. The huge city wall was a bit ridiculously high. Even without the help of runes, it was hard to imagine how such a huge city wall was built.The wide gates go from one side to the other, possibly requiring horseback riding.

The flow of people, caravans, and horse freight all have their own routes, but even so, they still seem very busy.

And there are twenty such city gates.

It seems that what I heard before, 'it takes two days to run from the east city to the west city', refers to riding a fast horse, and the road must be unimpeded.

With the flow of people in and out, Xu Baiyan is getting closer and closer to the capital, and his heartbeat is getting faster and faster. This is a kind of natural awe that the people of Daqin have for the capital city. Even if they have lived in the city for decades, by chance When looking at this huge city wall here, I still feel the shock and pride when I saw it for the first time.

Facing all the prosperity in the world, Xu Baiyan finally took the first step into the imperial capital!
Into the eye!

The streets are full of lights, illuminating the entire Xiongcheng into daylight, robbing the brilliance of the black moon and white moon in the sky. The bluestone road under the feet has not undergone any repairs for thousands of years, but it is like a mirror, reflecting another colorful world. People walking among the colorful world, looking up and downcasting their eyes, it is full of stars like a curtain, men, women, old and young, dressed in gorgeous or plain clothes, laughing and exaggerating, hawking and yelling can be heard one after another. For a moment, Xu Baiyan was surprised to see , the eyes are fascinated.

There is only the simplest and most proud sigh in my heart.
This is the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty!
Then, he suddenly thought of a very important thing.

What should I do now?
Coming to Chaodu, the most important thing is naturally to go to Chaodu Academy to take the entrance examination, and ask Senior Sister Xie to pay back the money.

In addition, I have to satisfy the long-cherished wish of the group of idle veterans at Yuxiakou. Go to see the world-famous brothel for them.
