The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Chapter 66 The Emperor's Substitute 13

Although the war with Daqin was about to begin, the capital of Daqing Dynasty was still prosperous. Daqing Dynasty had been established for hundreds of years and had always been a peaceful country without any major disasters. Therefore, Daqing Dynasty had enough foundation. Even if there was a war with Daqin, the country was still peaceful.

After leaving the palace, Xuanyuan changed into a black robe with wide sleeves. He left the Forbidden City from a corner gate of the palace with the guards of the Imperial Guards who were dressed as guards and followers and headed for the East City.

In order not to attract attention, not only were the clothes and jade pendants on Xuanyuan's body ordinary, but in order not to let people know that he came from the palace, Xuanyuan did not even bring eunuchs with too obvious features, for fear of being recognized as different.

And the guards he chose to follow him were all inconspicuous people in the Imperial Guards. They had ordinary backgrounds and were not from wealthy families. They were just ordinary people. They were not famous in the capital and were not expected to be discovered.

After leaving the palace, there was a bit of fireworks here, and there was a sense of reality that someone lived here. Although the palace is gorgeous and exquisite, it is like a beautiful cage without life. Everyone in the palace must follow the rules and not make any mistakes.

This is too strict and rule-bound, but it is dull and depressing. No matter how magnificent and magnificent it is, it is just an empty cage, and it is not as interesting as the outside of the palace.

However, the inner city is where the palace and the various royal palaces are located. When it comes to the atmosphere of fireworks, you have to go to the outer city of the imperial capital, where the atmosphere of fireworks is really strong, and where officials, merchants and people live.

After leaving the inner city, I saw that the outer city was really bustling and prosperous. On both sides of the street, people carrying loads outside the imperial city came in to sell goods. There were countless people selling silk flowers, rouge and powder, fresh fruits, and various snacks. All kinds of things can be found in the stalls on both sides.

Xuanyuan did not choose to ride a horse on this trip, but walked on a busy avenue in the east city. The guards who followed him openly followed behind Xuanyuan carefully, keeping a distance between Xuanyuan and passers-by without leaving any trace, so that no one could get close to him easily.

In addition to these guards who followed Xuanyuan openly, there were also many secret guards who followed him not far away in secret. Once something happened, these secret guards hidden in the crowd would rush out to protect the emperor, and they would even go to the imperial barracks with tokens to dispatch the imperial guards to rescue the emperor.

In a word, although Xuanyuan seemed to have left the palace with a few people, it was not the case. There were quite a few people who followed him secretly, and the forces and manpower used were numerous.

The air was filled with the mixed aroma of various snacks and seasonal flowers. The mouth-watering aroma of the food and the fresh and sweet aroma of the flowers combined to form a unique "scenery" with a different flavor.

Xuan Yuan walked on the bustling East Street with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he frowned slightly, and his dark eyes showed a bit of patience and speechlessness.

Because, as he walked, someone swallowed his saliva all the way. The sizzling sound made me think it was a wolf swallowing saliva that had been hungry for who knows how long! Hungry, no, greedy.

"Have you swallowed enough saliva?" Xuan Yuan raised his eyebrows and sighed with a slightly patient tone, as if he was helpless, and as if he was speechless. After all, he had no way to deal with the person swallowing his saliva.

0617 sighed with a sad tone: "Host, you really don't know how to appreciate the good things you have. There are so many delicious foods, people are almost crazy about them but can't eat them, but you, host, are dismissive and even don't know the hunger of the hungry."

Xuan Yuan's lips twitched. He felt that the more he got along with 0617, the more he felt that this system was really stupid and cute: "They are just some external things. Do you need to care so much about such appetite?"

"Besides, you don't have a body. No matter how delicious these delicacies are, you can't taste them. Why bother to get them for something you are destined not to get? 's things? "

0617's tone was even more aggrieved, and it whispered: "It's because there is no way to get it, so I want it so much! My biggest dream is to have my own body, and then enjoy everything I couldn't enjoy before. "

Xuanyuan recalled the price of the body that 0617 wanted to exchange, and then thought about the points 0617 earned in the first two worlds. He couldn't help but coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Then you should work hard, work hard!"

One hundred thousand points and two thousand and two, this is really a bit far, isn't it? But then, you still have to have a dream, so let 0617 work hard. Without hard work, how can there be any results.

Xuanyuan's thin lips hooked lightly, revealing a harmless and gentle smile. Thinking so calmly in his heart, he was really a gentleman like jade, upright and out of the world.

Come to Dongcheng District, of course, because Xuanyuan has someone to find. On the list of talents listed by 0617, the first one is Gu Wenqing, a civil official who will be recruited by Yan Junxian in the future.

He was originally the legitimate son of the Marquis's mansion, but his biological mother died early, his stepmother was unkind, and his father favored the legitimate son of his second wife. Although he was the legitimate son, he was quite oppressed in the Marquis's mansion. Even when he studied literature on weekdays, his father did not find a good teacher for him.

As for the position of the Marquis's son, it was not given to him. He was already in his twenties but had no job. He spent his days in the Marquis's mansion. Because his stepmother had a sharp temper, the treatment he received in the mansion did not match the status of a legitimate son.

Before meeting Yan Junxian, Gu Wenqing could be said to be a green cabbage in the field. He would have given birth to a legitimate son and been groomed to the point where he was even worse than a bastard. But fortunately, this person is really talented and smart. Although he does not have the guidance of a famous teacher, he is full of talents on his own.

After meeting a noble man, Gu Wenqing's long-suppressed talents finally blossomed. After entering the official career, he became a bright and rising star in the Daqing Dynasty. He was already alert, capable and resourceful. After experience, He also became Yan Junxian's trusted advisor.

Later, when Yan Junxian took control of the entire Daqing court, Gu Wenqing contributed a lot and could be said to be the most capable minister in Yan Junxian's hands. Xuan Yuan would not leave such a capable minister alone no matter what.

"Host, don't you think Gu Wenqing's experience is familiar to you?" After Xuan Yuan bypassed the bustling street and turned into the alley where Gu's house was, 0617 woke up from his greedy state and couldn't help but ask. .

This street is home to several princes' mansions and the homes of powerful people. The environment is very quiet and quiet, with not many pedestrians. It is not as prosperous as the previous commercial areas in Dongcheng, but the mansions here are exquisitely and gorgeously built, and they are far from commercial. The restaurants and shops there are comparable.

"Where are you familiar with?" In response to 0617's inquiry, Xuan Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "I have never met Gu Wenqing."

"But host, you have completed a task for Lin Xuanzhu. You are also the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion. Don't host have any feeling?" 0617 broke the casserole and asked the end, very persistent.

Xuan Yuan twitched the corner of his lips: "0617 Do you want to be so divergent in your thinking? Lin Xuanzhu and Gu Wenqing are not alike." One is a simple-minded Silly Baitian, while the other is quite scheming and strategic. How are they similar? ?

0617 felt that the host was indeed an old antique. He still couldn't understand such fashionable things, so he turned to say: "Host, I found Gu Wenqing. He is reading in his small courtyard."

"Tsk, tsk, after all, he is the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion, but the courtyard where he lives is so remote and rundown. There are only a few maids and servants to serve him, and all the furnishings are very old. This Madam of the Hou Mansion is partial, so there is no need to be so obvious, right? "

"The question is, are Gu Wenqing's grandmother and father blind and turning a blind eye to such open-minded partiality? A legitimate son must be drunk to live such a miserable life. This house is poisonous!"

0617 is no longer the cute guy who persuaded Xuan Yuan to become a host to complete the task and racked his brains but couldn't come up with a reason. At this time, he kept making complaints in his mouth, and his tone was quite disgusting.

Xuan Yuan: "Can you stop being so noisy and give me away?"

A voice: "After giving me away to the host, do you still want to travel through different small worlds?"

"Let's learn about the 10,000 points exchange binding system." Xuan Yuan's tone was calm, and Feng Qingyun threatened calmly.

As a system with flawed intelligence, 0617 knew deeply that once bound to Xuanyuan, it would be difficult for a second host to be bound to it, so he immediately became discouraged: "I'll be quiet, I'll be quiet." After saying this, it no longer dared to complain, and huddled into a ball in the sea of ​​profound abyss, motionless.

Gu Wenqing was in the Hou Mansion, and Xuan Yuan was too lazy to wait for him to come out before looking for an opportunity to contact him. After walking around to the wall closest to the courtyard where Gu Wenqing was, Xuan Yuan lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and his whole body rose into the air. , flew over the city wall and landed in Gu's mansion.

The guards following Xuan Yuan looked confused at the same time. Does Your Majesty actually have such powerful skills? Suddenly I felt that these guards were a bit useless, as if His Majesty didn't need their protection at all...

Wait, His Majesty just jumped into the Gu Mansion. They don't have such handsome skills, they can't keep up!

No matter how collapsed the guards who were left outside the mansion were, Xuan Yuan quickly came to Gu Wenqing's study.

When Gu Wenqing saw the sudden desire, a flash of horror first flashed through his eyes, and then he stood up in panic and knelt down towards Xuan Yuan: "Greetings to your Majesty."

Xuan Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. What shocked Gu Wenqing was that he suddenly appeared here, not his identity. What did this mean? It meant that he had not only met Yan Junxian, but had also been planning to get close to the emperor.

Otherwise, if you had only glimpsed the emperor from a distance, how could you remember his appearance so clearly, and even be able to recognize the emperor in a different costume in an instant?

He curled his lips, and a smile appeared in Xuan Yuan's unfathomable black eyes. It seemed that Gu Wenqing had been ready to surrender to the emperor for a long time. He was indeed not an ambitious person.

This is great.
