Sword Roaring to the Heavens: Seeking Taoism from Yihua Palace

Chapter 81 Chapter 88-89 The Princess Disguises as a Man

They spent a few days eating and sleeping in the open. Although they were a little tired along the way, they felt happy.

The place they are going this time is Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

There is a long distance from west to south, and because of time constraints, they had to hurry up and ride eight hundred miles a day.

Half a month later, they finally arrived in Nanjing. At this time, the two of them were wearing gauze hats, sitting on horseback and looking at the majestic city wall.

Due to the limitation of topographical conditions and the need of defense, the plane of Nanjing City is irregular in shape, which is long from north to south and narrow from east to west.The circumference of the city is claimed to be 96 miles, but the actual measurement is about 67 miles.

The height of the city wall is generally 21 to 14 meters, the base width is 610 meters, and the top width is [-] to [-] meters. It is based on stone and built with special large bricks. There are [-] crenels.

There are thirteen city gates, Jubao Gate is the most magnificent. There are 23 caves for Tibetan soldiers in the city wall, which can be garrisoned by 22 soldiers. Most of them are built with soil according to the natural terrain, and about forty miles are made of bricks, with eighteen gates.

Such fortifications can still play a role in defending against foreign enemies in this era of cold weapons, and they are simply vulnerable to the current artillery.

They dismounted and led the horses into the capital.

As expected of the capital city, the prosperity here is not comparable to other towns.

The shops on both sides are full of beautiful things in eyes, the shouts of peddlers and pawns are endless, some pedestrians on the street are dressed in luxurious clothes, and carriages and sedan chairs can be seen from time to time.

Throwing a stone at random in the capital may hit an official, and those who can work in the capital are not low-ranking.

Moreover, the quality of beauties in Kyoto is higher than that of other places, and many scholars look at them.

Since the Ming Dynasty, it has been standing upright, governing at home and abroad, and the flag of worship is flying outside the Great Wall.Merchants and merchants in the world are integrated, goods are filling Liangdong, and people flow like a crowd; people's livelihood is feasting, barns are full, soldiers and horses are strong, and the world is powerful.All the vassal states pay tribute one after another, and the princes and princes are obedient to virtue. One is the world of Qingping!

Of course, this prosperity is only compared with the previous dynasties.

Jiang Chen and the others were leading the horse with their gauze hats, people passing by this strange combination couldn't help but take a few glances.

At this time, Yaoyue was wearing a loose net gauze skirt, so she couldn't see the body of the fairy.

The two of them found a luxurious restaurant and invited Yueyue to go out without any money. Jiang Chen still had this awareness. He had a few hundred thousand taels of silver in his pocket, and this huge sum of money was enough for them to live happily.

Hand over the horse to the buddy and feed it with good fodder. The road is full of dust, and the horse has always suffered.

After entering the restaurant, the two asked for a private room. Naturally, the private room is more expensive than eating downstairs, but it doesn't matter if they are rich.

"What would you two guest officers want to eat?"

"Give us four or five of your restaurant's signature dishes, and a jug of good wine."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

This restaurant is high-end, and I drink a lot of tea.

After a while, the food and wine finally came.

"The guy didn't say please don't let people in. We don't want to be disturbed while we're drinking."

"Ok."

It is not surprising to see a lot of guests coming and going from south to north. Some guests want to discuss things and are afraid of being disturbed.

When the buddy went out, the two took off their gauze hats.

When Jiang Chen puts food in Yaoyue's bowl, husband and wife should respect each other as guests, this is called affection.

Yaoyue appreciates Jiang Chen's concern for such details.

The dishes in this restaurant are really good, and it is worthy of being a famous restaurant in Kyoto.

"Jiang Lang, do you want to rob the court directly?"

"With General Xue as a man, he will definitely not go with us, so we can only find another way for this matter."

"Is there anything you can do?"

"As the saying goes, you have to tie the bell to untie the bell. Whoever framed General Xue, we let him find a way to release General Xue."

"Will he submit obediently?"

"Of course not, but if we can grasp his handle, the situation will be different."

"I feel that this matter is so difficult, it is better to threaten him directly with force."

"We not only want to take care of General Xue's family, but also rehabilitate and rectify his name. People like General Xue value integrity more than life."

After the two had eaten their fill, they came to the upper room to rest. The journey was full of dust, and they were also a little tired mentally.

Now that the two are husband and wife, of course they only have one room.

Yaoyue took a bath in the room, but he didn't drive him out. Facing Yaoyue's fairy body, Jiang Chen was really itchy.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.

Half a year has passed since the last breakthrough in the cultivation technique, and there is no trace of a breakthrough in the cultivation technique, but this is also expected.

This technique is really suitable for him, if someone just practiced to death, he would not be able to reach the ninth floor.

After reaching the ninth floor, you can use Sangong to transform into a silkworm.

The bone marrow of the body is rebuilt, the cells are rejuvenated, and the appearance and body are restored to their youthful state.

This technique is simply amazing, it is amazing.

Since the difficulty of cultivation is several times that of "Ming Yu Gong", Jiang Chen did not teach this skill to Yao Yue and Lian Xing.

Of course, one day he would shatter the void with his own power and step on the void to go to another world. He wanted to take the two of them with him most.

Jiang Chen wanted to help them break through the ninth peak of "Ming Yu Gong".

But the underground palace carefully built by Wei Wuya is the best opportunity for a breakthrough.

Make plans for this later.

Just when Jiang Chen was cultivating hard, Goldfinger suddenly issued a task:

"Save General Xue Ren's family, rectify his name, and reward him with thirty attribute points."

That's right, how can you contribute your efforts in vain, this golden finger is really considerate.

Goldfinger will not force him to complete the task, but if he wants to become stronger, he must work hard to do the task.

Yaoyue took a long bath, probably a little longer than the average girl.

This is because Yaoyue has a slight obsession with cleanliness, and she wants to keep her body spotless.

Of course, she won't have a cleanliness in their intercourse, otherwise how would they live this life.

After Yaoyue took a bath, her body was lingering with fragrance. If the buddy saw her beautiful and charming appearance, he might drink the water from the bath directly.

Yaoyue didn't disturb Jiang Chen's cultivation without me, but just watched his physical phenomenon during cultivation, this exercise is somewhat similar to "Ming Yu Gong".

Jiang Chen didn't talk about this exercise with them.

Everyone should have their own privacy.

Yaoyue felt Jiang Chen's aura, his aura had surpassed her own, and this gap was getting bigger and bigger as time went by.

Yaoyue has always believed that she is a martial arts prodigy, but she conceded defeat in the face of Jiang Chen, you must know how arrogant she was before.

The man in front of her was getting closer and closer to perfection, and she suddenly felt the need to look up to him.

Women worship the strong, no matter how powerful the woman is, this is a woman's nature.

Looking at Jiang Chen who was cultivating, he couldn't help being stunned. This is a good-looking skin and an interesting soul.

The next day, Yaoyue was practicing in a restaurant, and he wandered the streets alone.

This street is very prosperous, he walked around to see, it is urgent to save General Xue Ren, but there is no good idea yet.

There is a seller of candied haws in front. I haven’t eaten it for a long time. I walked over to buy a few skewers to eat.

"The boss brought me two bunches of candied haws."

"Ok."

"Boss, give me a bunch too."

"Sorry, the last two strings were bought by this young man."

Jiang Chen looked at the young master next to him, and saw that he had delicate features, thin skin and tender flesh, skin like creamy fat, a slender figure, and a very handsome appearance.

"I don't care, there are two strings, give me one."

"This..." The boss was embarrassed, and looked at Jiang Chen who was wearing a gauze hat.

"Then give him a bunch."

Jiang Chen is as meticulous as a hair, this handsome young man is obviously a girl, disguised as a man, first of all, how can a boy's ears have piercings, and secondly, a boy has such a fragrance.

The woman was very happy eating candied haws, she looked more like a child who couldn't grow up.

Jiang Chen turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly a person passed by her and snatched the pouch from her waist.

"Come on, someone is robbing my purse."

Seeing the robber running in the street, Jiang Chen spit out the hawthorn seeds in his mouth, flicked his fingers with his backhand, only the robber who was running in front screamed and fell to the ground.

The two people who didn't know where they came from beat and kicked the robber, but they didn't send him to the government and let him run away.

But Jiang Chen saw the clue, these two people who came out suddenly were eunuchs.

The voice was shrill like a woman's.However, it will only have such characteristics if it is castrated before puberty.After puberty, the castrated voice will no longer be feminized after the voice change has been completed.

The two eunuchs came to the woman and handed over their purses with a humble expression on their faces.

Eunuch, woman... what did you get in touch with.

Eunuchs serve the emperor, concubines and grandchildren of the emperor.

This woman seems to be just a young girl who has just begun to fall in love, and the current emperor is in his prime, so she is most likely a princess.

Regardless of whether she is a princess or something, I don't want to be a son-in-law at all, and probably those who are on the gold list don't want to be a son-in-law either.

First of all, it is true that the son-in-law is the emperor's son-in-law, but it is not as beautiful as imagined.In order to prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power, once a princess is married, no matter how outstanding her talent is, she can only have the title of "Lieutenant-in-law" for life, with only a salary and no real power.

The ancient imperial examinations were like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Scholars studied hard in cold windows, not to marry a princess. Once they became concubines, their official careers would stop here.As long as anyone who wins a Jinshi examination, as long as he is released, he is at least a county magistrate, or he is an editor of the Imperial Academy. After a few years, he will become an official of the Six Departments, with a bright future.

In the end, the princess was born noble, and women are difficult to coax, let alone a princess, this is not taking a wife but inviting an ancestor back.

Jiang Chen was about to leave, but someone grabbed his clothes. Looking back, it turned out to be that woman.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

"You helped me get my purse back just now. I don't like to owe favors to others. I want to buy you a drink."

"You don't need to drink, it's just a matter of lifting your hands."

"No, if you don't drink with me today, I won't let you go."

"Hehe, the world is really strange, and there are people who force others to drink."

"Yes."

"Okay, I'm going to Zuixianlou to eat, do you have enough money?"

"Don't worry, my aunt... I have money."

"Let's go."

Come to the most famous "Zuixian Tower" in Kyoto, and after entering, choose a private room.

"Several have something to eat."

The guy was wiping the table vigorously with a rag.

"He treats you, you ask him."

"Then bring up all the signature dishes of your restaurant."

Both Jiang Chen and his buddy were stunned.

"Wait a minute, son, are you serious? There are only a few people eating. You serve hundreds of dishes. Are you sure we can finish it? Just three or four dishes, buddy, and a jug of good wine."

"Come on, two guests, please wait a moment."

After the buddy left, Jiang Chen looked at the two eunuchs standing behind her.

"Since you're all here, why are you still wearing a gauze hat?"

"To be honest, I was ugly and shameless when I was a child, so I was afraid of scaring people by wearing it."

"yes."

"I think the young master is tall and straight, with a dignified appearance, he is not as ugly as you said."

"Believe it or not, anyway, I have already reminded you."

This woman is very curious, her eyes seem to want to see his true face through the veil.

When it's time to eat, I don't believe you don't take off the gauze hat.

After a while, all the food and wine will be served, the speed of serving the food is okay.

Jiang Chen picked up the chopsticks and began to taste delicious food. This dish is steamed bear paw, this dish is venison stewed with ginseng, and this dish...

Jiang Chen ate with great joy, but the woman just took a few mouthfuls, then stopped, and sat and watched him eat.

It's just that she couldn't see Jiang Chen's face clearly, the more she didn't let her see it, the more curious she became.

"Then I'll go out for a while."

"casual."

After the woman went out, Jiang Chen continued to eat and drink, he would not eat such hard food for nothing.

After a while, the woman came in.

"Come on, young man, I'll pour you some wine."

Then the two dead eunuchs pretended to be spared behind them.

"Come and let me toast you."

Just when Jiang Chen was holding up his wine glass to drink, suddenly one of the eunuchs sneaked up on him and took off his gauze hat.

The woman looked dull after seeing Jiang Chen's appearance.

Jiang Chen was not as angry as imagined, but drank the wine and continued to eat with chopsticks.

"you you……"

In an instant, she felt like a deer was bumping around, blushing and heart beating.

It's a heartbeat, and I can't hide my bad eyes.

"It turns out that you are not ugly, on the contrary, you are very good-looking. You lied to me."

Jiang Chen was also full of wine and food.

"Okay, thank you for your hospitality, there will be no deadline."

"Wait a minute, what's the name of the young master?"

"We just met by chance, so we don't need to be called."

"Where do you live."

Jiang Chen didn't talk to her anymore, put on the gauze hat again, and walked out of the private room.

Seeing Jiang Chen leave, the woman expressed anxiety, and hurriedly chased him out, but when she got outside, there was no sign of him.

"You two find him for this princess, if you can't find you, don't come back."

"It's the princess."

The princess looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, Jiang Chen's face was all in her mind.

No, she must let this man be her son-in-law.

Jiang Chen returned to the original restaurant, came to the room, and saw that Yaoyue was bored.

He took off the gauze hat, went over to hold her hand with a mean face.

"Madam has been waiting for a long time."

"you've been drinking."

"Yeah, something happened outside, a rich man invited me to drink."

"It's true that people meet everywhere in the world."

"That's what I said."
