The Southern Song Dynasty began with the apprenticeship of Huang Shang

Chapter 450 Entering the Palace at Night
A month later, Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er both came to Xiajing.

At this time, Xia Jingcheng is still so prosperous, and its level is not weaker than Lin'an at all, and even surpasses it.

Passing by a restaurant, Yang Chengye immediately smelled a fragrance.

Yang Chengye sniffed his nose and sighed, "It smells so familiar!"

"Xian'er, why don't we eat here first before leaving."

Meng Xian'er smiled slightly and nodded.

Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er walked into the restaurant, and Meng Xian'er's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Meng Xian'er was already beautiful, especially her pair of purple pupils were even more captivating.

After Yang Chengye's development during this period, Meng Xian'er at this time has added the charm of a mature woman, which is fascinating.

The eyes of everyone made Meng Xian'er quite uncomfortable, but Yang Chengye didn't care, the more beautiful Meng Xian'er was, the more proud he was.

"Little Second!"

Yang Chengye yelled at the shop waiter who was fascinated by Meng Xian'er.

"Uh"

The waiter hurriedly came back to his senses, and said, "Guest officer, please!"

Under the guidance of Xiaoer Dian, Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er went straight up to the second floor.

The second floor is relatively quiet, with only three or two tables of guests.

Yang Chengye found a table by the window and sat down.

"You two guests, what would you like to eat?"

The shop waiter was wiping the table while peeking at Meng Xian'er.

Yang Chengye asked: "Do you have roast duck here?"

The waiter hurriedly replied: "Guest officer, you are asking the right person."

"Our restaurant's roast duck is famous far and wide, even General Shen has been here several times!"

The shop waiter said with a look of pride in his eyes.

Yang Chengye smelled the familiar smell outside just now, which was the smell of roast duck.

In his previous life, Yang Chengye ate roast duck a lot, but smelling it now immediately brought back his memories of his previous life.

"General Shen?"

Yang Chengye asked: "Which General Shen?"

The waiter in the shop asked in surprise: "Guest officer, you don't know General Shen?"

Yang Chengye said: "Of course I know, but General Shen is so busy, how could he have time to eat roast duck?"

The shop waiter replied: "General Shen will come out every few days to observe the people's situation. He is really a rare and good general!"

After a pause, the shop waiter said: "Guest officer, wait a moment, the little one will serve you the roast duck first!"

The shop waiter ran downstairs after finishing speaking.

Meng Xian'er asked: "Brother Yang, is General Shen Fu'er?"

Yang Chengye nodded and said, "Yes, it's Fu'er, now he has changed his name to Shen Baichuan, and he's still a general!"

About a quarter of an hour later, the waiter went upstairs again with the roast duck.

"Guest officer, your roast duck is here!"

Looking at the roasted golden roast duck and those small ingredients, Yang Chengye suddenly moved his index finger and swallowed hard.

Looking at the waiter in the shop who was peeling the roast duck with a knife, Yang Chengye asked: "Xiaoer, can you tell us about General Shen's deeds?"

The shop waiter smiled "hehe" and said, "You are asking the right person."

"General Shen has the ability to measure the world, and he is a dragon and phoenix among people."

"Some time ago, even the gods came down to earth and said that General Shen was sent by the heavens to save the people, and that he should inherit the throne!"

"Uh"

Hearing this, Yang Chengye was startled.

"This kid really knows how to play tricks!"

Yang Chengye grabbed a piece of roast duck and handed it to Meng Xian'er, and said something lightly.

Unexpectedly, the waiter in the shop was not happy at that time.

The waiter said: "Guest officer, I don't like to hear what you say."

"What is pretending to be a ghost?"

"We saw the immortal descending to earth with our own eyes, and it's Ziwei Xingjun!"

"Oh?"

Yang Chengye suddenly became interested and said, "Come on, tell me in detail."

The shop waiter became interested, and said happily: "A month ago, a golden light suddenly appeared above the palace, a ray of light fell from the sky, and Lord Ziwei Xing landed above the palace."

"Ziwei Xingjun said that the people in the world are suffering, and the Jade Emperor specially asked him to deliver an edict to General Shen, so that General Shen can wipe out all the bandits in the world and restore the world to a bright future."

After listening to Xiao Er's narration, Yang Chengye secretly sighed: "It's really a waste of talent to be the emperor with such inappropriate means!"

Yang Chengye planned to go to the palace to meet Shen Baichuan after dinner.

It was already evening when he left the restaurant, but Yang Chengye still wanted to go to the palace to meet Shen Baichuan.

Meng Xian'er said: "It's already very late, and the palace should be closed, why don't we go tomorrow."

"hehe"

Yang Chengye smiled and said: "I have never seen the palace at night, how about we take a night tour of the palace?"

Hearing this, Meng Xian'er also nodded happily, and went to the palace with Yang Chengye.

But when they came outside the palace gate, they were startled by the scene in front of them.

What Yang Chengye imagined was that the gates of the palace were closed, the security was heavy, and patrolling soldiers shuttled back and forth.

But the gate of the imperial palace in front of me is open, and there are still some red lanterns hanging on the gate, illuminating the vicinity of the palace gate as bright as day.

Not only that, but there are only two guards at the city gate.

As for the patrolling soldiers, there were none at all.

It's not that Yang Chengye has never been to the imperial palace in Lin'an, even the imperial palace at night, but he has never seen the imperial palace in front of him.

Out of curiosity, Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er came to the past, and asked the guards at the city gate: "Excuse me, why is there no patrolling soldiers in this palace?"

One of the guards looked at Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er, and asked after a long time, "You guys just came to Xiajing City, right?"

Yang Chengye nodded.

"No wonder!"

The soldier said: "Our General Shen is wise and powerful, and there are no bandits or thieves under his rule."

"The entire Xia capital is closed at night. If you don't believe me, you can go and see ordinary people's homes, the same is true!"

Hearing this, Yang Chengye was taken aback, only then did he remember that the houses he passed by just now had their doors wide open.

At the beginning, he still suspected that the owner hadn't rested yet, so he didn't close the door, but now thinking about it, it should be just like what the soldiers said.

"I don't know what you two are doing in the palace?"

Seeing that Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er didn't look like bad guys, the soldier asked.

"Oh!"

Yang Chengye said: "We are friends of General Shen Baichuan, and we came to see him specially, I don't know..."

Before Yang Chengye could finish speaking, the soldier interrupted him and said, "You guys are too ignorant."

"Although General Shen said that whoever wants to see the general can come at any time."

"But don't think about it, how busy the general is on weekdays, even eating in a hurry."

"As the general's soldiers, we should share his worries, and let the general be as quiet as possible for a while!"

"Uh"

Yang Chengye was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the soldier to say such a thing, and he didn't know how to refute.

"Excuse me, are you Yang Chengye Yang Daxia?"
