Chapter 177 The Darkness Under the Lights

The capital is a big city with towering city walls, spacious streets, a constant flow of pedestrians, and various shops on both sides of the streets.

Wine shop, tea shop, grain and oil shop, ready-made clothing shop, silk and satin shop...

This place is much more prosperous than Pingzhou. Yang Liang comes from a small place. In Min'an County, there are neither so many shops nor so many people shopping.

"The capital is a good place."

Yang Liang couldn't help but sigh, but found that Lu Yuanyuan beside him was much calmer than himself.

"Why, aren't you shocked? Beijing is a rare big city." Yang Liang asked.

"Sir, I am from the capital."

"Uh……"

Yang Liang was silent for a while, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, he heard a conversation behind him.

"This is the capital city of Dasheng. It's really prosperous and grand."

"Bah, look at your rare and strange appearance. It doesn't matter how prosperous and magnificent you are. Waiting for us to break down the city gate, this prosperity and grandeur are all ours."

Yang Liang was curious. He quietly turned his head and saw two strong men not far behind him.

They wore large leather robes, and their eyes were full of anger.

Rong people.

The Dasheng Dynasty is the largest empire on this continent, but it is not the only country.

The Rong in the north, the Di in the northwest, and the Yue in the south were all countries that often went to war with Da Sheng.

Judging from the appearance of these two people, they should be Rong people from the North, and they are also the biggest enemies of the Dasheng Dynasty in the North.

Yang Liang rolled his eyes, and the plan came to his mind.

He asked for a cup of tea and turned his back towards the two of them. When they came over, he suddenly turned around and the tea in his hand just happened to splash on their leather robes.

"you……"

The two were furious.

Before the two of them could speak, Yang Liang was the first to attack: "What's going on with you guys? You don't have eyes when you walk. Look, you're wet."

Yang Liang patted them and said, "Be careful next time. I won't argue with you this time."

After that, he took Lu Yuanyuan and left.

It took a while for the two of them to react.

"Little prince, he must have bumped into us."

"What's going on? What's going on?"

The little prince, whose pseudonym was Hu Tuo, patted him in his arms, and his expression suddenly changed: "Where's my baggage?"

"Did you lose it when you were drinking the mutton soup just now?" said the companion who went by the pseudonym Hu Fu.

"Oops, it's that pretty boy." Hu Tuo was immediately furious, "Chase me, hurry up and chase him!"

However, pedestrians were constantly coming and going on the street, and Yang Liang was nowhere to be seen.

"Look, this is Dasheng. Are there any rules? Throw things away as soon as you enter the city."

Not far from them, outside the city gate, the crowd was already fighting.

This time the imperial court opened Enke, many students came from all over the world, and the scholars were often very energetic.

"What the hell, the Silver Blade Guards don't have any royal skills."

"I have long heard that the Silver Blade Guards are lawless and have harmed many loyal people."

"Others are afraid of them, but I'm not afraid of you. I'm full of courage!"

The soldiers at the city gate were so annoyed that they couldn't help but waved their hands and said: "Catch him, arrest him!"

"I am the governor of Xianqi in the 17th year. Let me see if any of you dare to arrest me."

When the two sides disagreed, they started fighting. When Li Changtang arrived on his silver horse, he saw a fight in front of the city gate.

"What are you doing? Are there any more rules?" he shouted while riding on his horse.

When all the officials looked up, they saw Li Changtang in gorgeous clothes, holding a silver knife on his shoulder, a jade belt tied around his waist, and odor-repelling fragrant powder on his body.

A certain soldier was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He raised his head, pointed at Li Changtang and shouted: "Hit their leader!"

Li Changtang didn't even understand what was going on. A group of officials had already swarmed forward, throwing rocks, tiles, rotten vegetables and leaves at him.

"Bold!"

He immediately had murderous intentions, but then he remembered what the commander had said.

This time Enke is a big deal for the imperial court. He is helping the Holy Emperor to win people's hearts. If he kidnaps these people, I'm afraid...

He had some abilities, but he was unable to use them at the moment. With no choice, he could only escape into the city in embarrassment under the protection of his men.

However, the candidates felt that they had won a great victory. Some people were so inspired by poetry that they impromptuly wrote a song "Song of Fighting Thieves in Front of the City" in front of the city gate.

Within the city wall, Yang Liang was led by Lu Yuanyuan and walked around until he reached a remote alley.

"Sir, are we stealing?" Lu Yuanyuan said, "My father told me that stealing is not good."

"Um……"

Yang Liang paused for a moment and said: "You don't know something about this. The soldiers sent their horses south and robbed so many of our women, food and land. We finally met them, and if we didn't steal from them once, it would be unreasonable. We Think of it as protecting your home and country.”

"Oh..." Lu Yuanyuan suddenly realized, "It turns out that stealing can also be used to protect the family and the country."

"Uh... you can understand it that way." Yang Liang said, "But you are still very young and don't understand the sense of proportion. Don't steal things if you have nothing to do."

"When I grow up, can I steal it?" Lu Yuanyuan asked with wide eyes.Yang Liang felt that he was suspected of being a spoiler. He did not continue the topic and said: "Where should we go next? Since we have arrived in the capital, we must find a place to stay."

Lu Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and said, "Sir, I have a place, let's go to my house."

"Your home?" Yang Liang was startled and shook his head hurriedly, "No, no, your home will definitely be hunting you all over the world. If we go there, we will be throwing ourselves into a trap, unless you are homesick."

Lu Yuanyuan said: "Sir, my house is very big, and no one goes to some places at all. It is precisely because many people are trying to catch us that they don't think that we are hiding in the Lu family.

Moreover, our home has a kitchen, which is convenient for eating. "

"This……"

Yang Liang's eyes lit up. Lu Yuanyuan had a good idea. As the saying goes, it's dark under the lamp, and the more dangerous the place, the safer it is.

"Let's go, let's go."

"Do not."

Lu Yuanyuan waved her hands: "Let's go secretly."

Ugh……

It seems that Lu Yuanyuan has gradually understood the true meaning of stealing.

Under Lu Yuanyuan's guidance, Yang Liang walked through the streets and alleys. After walking for about half an hour, a house appeared in front of him.

The Lu family could only be considered a middle-class family in the capital, but the house was already considered impressive. Yang Liang searched the streets several times, but couldn't even find the main door.

In the end, Lu Yuanyuan took Yang Liang's hand and quietly led him to the backyard fence.

"Sir, there is a dog cave here. No one usually comes here. We in the capital quietly run out from here to play." Lu Yuanyuan said.

This is a road rarely visited by people. Yang Liang looked around and saw no one around.

He carried Lu Yuanyuan on his back, touched the ground with his toes, and his body rose into the air. He touched lightly on the top of the wall and landed on the other end of the wall.

This is a remote courtyard, full of green bamboos, a well, and bluestone slabs filled with dead leaves.

"What is this place?" Yang Liang asked.

"I don't know either." Lu Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "However, no one usually comes here at all. It has been abandoned for a long time."

Yang Liang opened the door, covered his mouth and nose and coughed twice. He waved his hand to disperse the floating dust.Only then did I realize that the furnishings of this house were simple, but it had been unoccupied for many years and the furnishings in the house were covered with dust.

"Sir, are you hungry? Can I go to the kitchen and steal something for you?"

Yang Liang put on a serious face and said: "How can you steal things at such a young age? This is too unbecoming."

Lu Yuanyuan's face turned red and she said, "It's not stealing. I went secretly and came back secretly. I took something to eat when no one was paying attention."

Yang Liang nodded: "That makes sense, go ahead, remember, be careful, don't be discovered when you are secretly doing it."

While Lu Yuanyuan was secretly doing it, he happened to clean the house.

He rolled up his sleeves and fetched water from the well. He was used to doing work, so this little work couldn't help him.

Not long after, the house was cleaned and looked brand new. Yang Liang also found a copper hairpin in the drawer. So, the previous owner of this place was probably a woman.

I just don’t know where she went afterward.

There are many empty places like this in wealthy families, and no one usually pays attention to them. Hiding here by yourself can be regarded as the word "dark under the lamp".

After cleaning the house, Lu Yuanyuan has not come back yet.

Yang Liang sat on the kang and sorted out a few things at hand.

The purpose of coming to the capital this time is to take the imperial examination. However, the imperial examination is still several months away, so there is no need to be too anxious.

I will use these few months to meet with the examiner, attend gatherings among literati, and write a few good articles to help myself.

What matters now is the matter of the Silver Sword Guard. The Silver Sword Guard is arresting him, and he also wants to seek revenge against the Thirteen Kings.

He had to hurry up on this matter. Considering the physical condition of the Thirteenth King, if he didn't take action, he might die of natural causes.

At this time, a system prompt sounded in Yang Liang's ears.

He opened the system panel and checked the new tasks he had just received.

Challenge mission: Assassinate the Thirteen Kings, mission reward: 30000 destiny coins.

finally come.It was not until they arrived in the capital that the assassination mission was triggered.

In addition to being an excellent reader, he is also an excellent assassin.

The reward of [-] destiny coins is enough to be considered generous.

Yang Liang calculated that if he successfully assassinated the Thirteen Kings and completed a few more tasks, he might not be able to collect [-] destiny coins.

At that time, you can directly tie the number one pick.

After all, the imperial examinations in the Dasheng Dynasty were too complicated. Yang Liang was really worried about relying on talent to learn.

After some thought, Yang Liang made a preliminary plan. Next, he would participate in cultural gatherings, earn fame, step on the plates, and figure out how to start.

Try to collect [-] destiny coins before the imperial examination.

At this time, Lu Yuanyuan had come back from outside. She was holding a small bundle in her hand and two pieces of pastries in her mouth. She was as fat as a little goldfish.

"Sir, I'm back."

"How about it, you haven't been found?"

"No, I do it secretly." Lu Yuanyuan pushed the bag over, "Sir, please try it quickly. This is my family's fragrant rice cake, which is very famous."

Looking at the furoshiki in front of him, Yang Liang suddenly remembered something.

Yes, I also took a lot of gold and silver from those two Rong people.
