swallow a dragon ball

Chapter 74 Jianye and I meet each other happily

The capital of the Great Jin Kingdom is naturally extraordinary. Eighteen city gates are open at the same time in the southeast, north, and west, but even so, there must be congestion.

Or because of the emperor's feet, the investigation into the city is very strict.

Especially for various types of weapons, the inspection is even more meticulous.

Things like swords and swords are relatively tolerant. Once a hard bow and crossbow appear, they may be invited to drink tea by the city guard, and if armor is found, they can basically be taken to bury it.

For example, Yu Youquan and Master's drivers were inspected very strictly at first, with hammers in the east and sticks in the west, and there was even a sense of squeezing some oil and water out of them.

This made Yu Youquan frown.

These are the guards guarding the city, and this man in broad daylight actually wants to openly ask for bribes.
This Da Jin is really an eye-opener!
Yu Youquan didn't want to bully others, but he also didn't want to be blackmailed. After handing over a sign, the elder guard's attitude immediately turned 180 degrees.

Even so, the young guard still looked at the sign and Yu Youquan's face repeatedly.

In the end, the older guard couldn't stand it anymore. He snatched the sign from the young guard's hand and returned it respectfully with both hands with a smile on his face.

Yu Youquan retracted the sign with a blank expression, returned to the carriage, the driver raised his whip, and the carriage set sail again.

"Young master, go slowly!"

The older guard nodded and bowed, and respectfully sent the two carriages away, and even reached out and grabbed the young guard in the process.

The young guard was reluctant but still didn't take the older guard's kindness away, and sent the carriage away with a respectful salute.

After the carriage completely entered the city gate and could barely see clearly, the older guard straightened up.

But the young guard couldn't bear it anymore, "Uncle Li, I recognized that boy. He is Yu who was on the wanted list."

Before the young guard could finish speaking, he was dragged aside by the older "Uncle Li" and cursed, "You're the only one with double moves?"

Young guard: "."

The hot-tempered Uncle Li spat out fragrantly, "It made you so drunk before drinking, so you can't go to heaven after drinking a bowl of wine? Don't tell me you don't know the brand in his hand?"

The young guard was still a little unconvinced, but he did not dare to talk back.

Either the curse was easy to say, or he was afraid that the young man would not have a long memory, so Uncle Li cursed himself.

"If you want to die, don't take me with you. My baby is still young and wants to live a few more years!"

Uncle Li continued to output, feeling unhappy, and the young guard was also extremely depressed.

They are guarding the city, knowing that there are lunatics who are at large in front of them, but they want to pretend not to know, what the hell is wrong with this world?
Do you want to go to the captain?
The city gate is long and dark, and the exit on the other side of the city is far away, and it looks like a small glowing hole.

But just by looking at the sky from the well through this city gate, you can see some unusually magnificent houses in the city, which makes people yearn for it, and subconsciously speed up the pace of entering the city.

However, Shen Pan'er was not in the mood to look at the beautiful big house at this time. Her mind was filled with the impolite behavior of the young guard just now.

Shen Pan'er said unhappily, "I didn't expect the gate guards in the capital to have such faces and virtues."

Yu Youquan immediately became happy when he heard this, and said with a smile, "You seem to have seen many guards."

The little girl Pan'er suddenly became a little unhappy.

On the one hand, I feel that I have been underestimated, and on the other hand, I feel that I am helping Ju Li's brother to complain, but he is not respected.

The angry Shen Pan'er subconsciously puffed her cheeks, but when she thought that it was brother Juli in front of her instead of her mother who loved her the most, she quickly lowered her head and straightened her expression.

After returning to a demure and elegant appearance, he raised his head and said, "Although I haven't seen many guards, I often hear from my father and uncles that these guards are greedy and often open their mouths."

Yu Youquan nodded in agreement. The King of Hell is very troublesome, and the current atmosphere in Dajin is indeed not that good.

Before meeting Shen Pan'er, he traveled all the way with his master Zheng Xuancheng, and encountered far more than these.

The most serious thing is actually the conflict between the southerners and the northerners. Armed fights are common. If two villages have leaders from the army, they might stage a whole set of 36 tricks.

If you've seen it a lot, you won't make a fuss, but even the capital city looks like this, it's really unexpected!

Shen Pan'er asked strangely, "Brother Ju Li, is this Pan'er's illusion? That young guard seems to know you."

Yu Youquan said calmly, "We probably know each other."

He is clear about this point, which is the backlash brought about by his fierce revenge.

But as long as he still has enough value and Zheng doesn't give up on him, then ordinary forces won't dare to lift the lid easily.

Seeing Yu Youquan's calm appearance, Shen Pan'er's lovely big eyes could not help showing doubts.

For the first time, she clearly realized that she didn't actually know much about this Ju Li brother who had always treated her extremely well.

After entering the city completely, the two were completely attracted by the prosperity of the capital.

A wall separates two worlds.

Compared with the messy log cabins built outside the city, the buildings in the city are neatly arranged row upon row.

The bluestone road is flat and open, and there are many tourists on the road.

Most of the people looking around like them are from other places, full of curiosity and vision of the capital.

Everyone is from the countryside, most of them are from the capital city.

Those who greeted enthusiastically and even offered various introductions, most of them wanted to earn money from foreigners.

Of course, as a local resident of the most virtuous place in the world, he naturally has the capital to be proud, so that he is very talkative, ranging from ordinary people to officials and nobles.

It seems that not long after they entered the city, they heard that many outsiders gathered around to listen to the locals bragging about the mountains, but they couldn't help but stop and listen for a while.

The man was carrying a birdcage and was particularly talkative. No matter how beautiful the courtesan of a certain brothel was, his skin was fair and delicate and could squeeze out water with just a pinch, or whether a certain high-ranking family was competing with each other for wealth. , washing pots with sugar water and burning candles as firewood, and even opened his mouth to tell all kinds of royal secrets.

What he said was so eloquent, as if he had experienced it himself.

The people around were startled.

Wash the pan with sugar water?
This is really a young life!
It is completely impossible to imagine how those noble people would be willing to squander sugar water like this. It is sugar water, even if it is used to entertain guests, it is extraordinarily face-saving.

Later, the style of painting changed, but he talked about how handsome and handsome the noble son of a certain family in the capital is.

"White and beautiful appearance", "looks like a lotus flower", "Yue Meiziyi throws fruit and fills the car" and so on, it makes the eyes of the big girls and young wives around to join in the fun shine.

Even Shen Pan'er was unexpectedly full of curiosity, what kind of handsome man could be worthy of such an evaluation?

but.

Aren't these terms more used to describe women?
Shen Pan'er's pretty face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Yu Youquan secretly, as if she was afraid of being discovered and noticed, so she dodged and sneaked around.

Then, Shen Pan'er unexpectedly discovered that Brother Juli didn't seem surprised when he heard these anecdotes, and even seemed a little...sighed?

Shen Pan'er: "Brother Juli is unhappy?"

Yu Youquan sighed, "Family fights for wealth, noble relatives are extravagant, femininity prevails, and men regard weakness as beauty. The world may be in chaos. I hope you can learn some martial arts if you have the conditions."

Learn martial arts?

Shen Pan'er seemed to understand, but still nodded in various ways.

"I listen to brother Juli."

The two left and no longer listened to the man's bragging.

The meaning of this change is really different, the pedestrians are bustling with each other, crowding shoulder to shoulder, it is unprecedentedly lively.

Fortunately for Yu Youquan, after all, he was used to seeing the bustling cities in his previous life, but the little girl Shen Pan'er was completely dazzled.

Seeing the juggling on the street, she couldn't help but squeeze in and stare nervously with other spectators, and couldn't help but let out her instinct to applaud when she saw the joy.

When the jugglers stretched out their gongs to collect money one by one, the little girl suddenly became embarrassed, and couldn't help but blushed, as if she had done something wrong. She had no money!
Yu Youquan was so dumbfounded that he helped her out at the critical moment.

While the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, she was inevitably a little annoyed. This time, she was so embarrassing, she must be more reserved in the future.

After a while, she was happily wandering the streets and alleys.

Sometimes there is a sugar figurine in my hand, sometimes there is a doll, sometimes pointing to the beautiful satin clothes and chirping happily, sometimes looking at the rouge and powder shop with envious eyes.
Yu Youquan shook his head helplessly, but still followed her for a walk, looking and shopping along the way.

of course.

Shen Pan'er still knows how to be temperate, and basically didn't spend much money along the way.

For the little girl Shen Pan'er, the first meeting with the capital was particularly memorable for her, so that she settled in the capital for many years later, and she still couldn't forget this first meeting.
