I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 554 Entering Chang'an

On the Chief Officer's Road, there are two carriages driving leisurely. There is a bit of cold wind on the road, and the chill is getting stronger. The north seems to be becoming vast, and a sense of depression strikes.

Song Mu felt bored in the carriage, so he simply walked on the road at the moment, although his steps were slow, but steady.

From time to time, some walking students appeared on the official road, all of them looked tired, but they were still not afraid of the cold wind, sometimes they muttered to recite books, sometimes they said their wishes for Chang'an.

But they almost always look up and look forward from time to time, as if they are full of longing for everything in front of them.

Song Mu also raised his head and looked ahead, after the corner of the mountain depression was Chang'an.

After returning to the Wen Dynasty, Song Mu stayed in Jinling for less than a month, and he took his family to the north. It was indeed due to the reasons mentioned by the governor, but more importantly, it was His Majesty's imperial decree.

Order Song Mu to set off on another day and return to Chang'an.

Although he didn't speak too much, it also expressed His Majesty's intentions. Song Mu was able to reactivate, naturally he took his family along the way, and in January, he had already arrived outside Chang'an.

Walking on this official road at this moment, Song Mu also felt emotional in his heart. Looking at the students who were walking slowly, the days of rushing for the exams in the past are still vivid in his memory.

At that time, I also had longing for this future.

And ahead, there are legends that I created, as well as pain that I didn't want to recall for a time.

However, the past is like smoke, and the road ahead is long, Song Mu has long been relieved, and as the carriage turned around a foot of the mountain, the majestic Baoshan Great Wall appeared in front of him again.

Familiar Gao Qiang, the dignified soldiers still stood at the top of the wall, the chilling atmosphere rushed over, and Song Mu also led the crowd forward slowly.

It was still Suzaku Pass, but before Song Mu reached the pass, a person hurried down the pass, and then immediately came to Song Mu's side, bowing his head in salute.

"Master Hanlin is here, and the humble position is far away to welcome you!"

The officer said sternly at this moment, the soldiers around and the people waiting to enter the customs were all taken aback when they heard this, and turned around to look at Song Mu.

Many people even retreated unconsciously.

They all heard clearly that the literati in front of them turned out to be a literati in the Hanlin realm.

And they were even more amazed that this Hanlin lord was so young and full of elegance, in stark contrast to themselves and others.

Song Mu has experienced many such scenes along the way, but at the moment he just showed a smile, looked at the lieutenant who was saluting to him, and said with a smile.

"Xu Junwei, don't be cautious. Now, Song should call you General Xu, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Wang immediately raised his head, and when he saw Song Mu's face clearly, he was also taken aback, with a bit of joy on his face.

Just at the top of the city, Xu Wang felt the coercion of the Hanlin realm, so Xu Wang immediately came out to meet him. After seeing Song Mu's face clearly at this moment, he said in surprise.

"Song Zhuangyuan, it's you?"

When everyone around heard this, their faces changed, especially the scholars among them, as if they jumped up suddenly when they heard the name, and immediately people rushed forward, this time bowing their hands to Song Mu to address him.

Once passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, everyone knew that this was actually the famous Song Zhuangyuan, and for a while, everyone felt reverence in their hearts.

Song Mu also bowed his hands towards the crowd, then looked at Xu Wang in front of him, nodded and said with a smile.

"General Xu, I haven't seen you for many years. Congratulations on successfully entering the Jinshi realm."

Xu Wang hurriedly cupped his hands, but this time he said very emotionally.

"Thank you Song Zhuangyuan. I used to say that the champion will return in the past. Although there were rumors in the past, but seeing the champion now, I am really excited..."

Song Mu also bowed his hand.

"The general is over-reputed, but Song and the general have contributed to the Wen Dynasty, and this time we encourage each other."

Xu Wang also hurriedly cupped his hands, the excitement on his face was hard to hide.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Wang also arranged for Song Mu to enter the pass, and Song Mu also crossed hands with everyone around him and passed through the Zhuque Pass.

After entering the Baoshan Great Wall, it seemed that the biting cold wind had dissipated for a while. The two little guys in the carriage couldn't hold back for a long time. They pleaded with Gu Qingqing, and now they got off the carriage and were on the road with Song Mu walk.

"Daddy, is Chang'an ahead?"

Song Huaitong dressed as a Confucian scholar and asked Song Mu. Song Mu nodded, looked up and said with a smile.

"Yes, Chang'an is coming soon."

Song Chengming also followed, talking to Song Mu with flickering eyes.

"Daddy, are there really as many delicious foods in Chang'an as there are in our house?"

Song Mu looked at this greedy little son, patted his head dotingly, and said with a smile.

"Of course, but the so-called self-reliance, if Cheng Ming doesn't recite the book, your mother will not."

Hearing this, the little guy immediately pouted his mouth, seemed a little embarrassed, but nodded.

Gu Qingqing, who was on the carriage behind him, also showed a slight smile when he saw this scene.

Seeing this, Song Mu also smiled and hugged Song Chengming, walking forward with Song Huaitong at the moment.

The road seemed a bit long, but at noon, everyone arrived at the foot of Chang'an.

Chang'an was right in front of them, and Song Mu's family got out of the carriage and looked at the capital in front of them, the largest city in the Wen Dynasty, with a little surprise on their faces.

After the blood test and entry of the people, as the bustling crowd went in, there was a surprise call from the front.

"Brother Song, you are finally here."

While talking, Song Mu looked forward and saw that it was Xu Yuncai. Xu Yuncai is now in his thirties and looks a lot older. Seeing Song Mu coming, he hurried forward a few steps, but his face was reserved look.

Song Mu stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands, and said with a smile.

"I haven't seen Brother Xu for a long time, why are you still unfamiliar?"

Only then did Xu Yuncai slow down the sensation a little bit, but at this moment he also looked behind Song Mu, Song Mu also introduced it, Xu Yuncai looked at the two boys and was also very happy, he forced the two dolls and two jade pendants, and then Instruct the servant to help take the carriage all the way to Chang'an.

"Received Brother Song's letter, I expected that Brother Song will arrive in a few days, and arrangements have been made in this city."

Song Mu had already written a letter before coming to Chang'an, Xu Yuncai paid so much attention to it, and even waited here every day, Song Mu was also quite moved by this.

The two walked along the way, and talked about some old things in the past. Song Mu also knew some new things about the Wen Dynasty in recent years, and some anecdotes about Chang'an.

"Chang'an hasn't changed much in the past few years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but there are indeed some rumors about it."

"One is that there is a rift between the left and the right, and there are some rumors in the city."

"Besides that, Du Mu's School of Poetry was re-established, which can be said to be famous in the capital. The law of rhythm is rare in the world, and it is still talked about by many scholars today."

Having said that, Xu Yuncai approached Song Mu and whispered something.

"It's just that Brother Song is willing to write that folk book again. Now it can be said to be famous all over the world. The next chapter of your "Sea Food" was also popular everywhere."

Song Mu smiled when he heard this, he didn't pay much attention to the matter of folk books, but it is said that relying on these folk books, the family's wife and children are considered prosperous.

It's just that in the current situation, Song Mu has no such plan.

Song Mu chatted with Xu Yun only after everyone arrived at the residence in Chang'an and settled down.

Hearing that Song Mu was in a hurry to return to the palace, Xu Yun didn't dare to be reckless and arranged carriages and horses, but he remembered something and said to Song Mu.

"Brother Song, you must have heard a lot about the situation in Chang'an. This time, you should be more cautious."

Seeing Xu Yunfei's serious face, Song Mu nodded with a smile. .

The carriage was leisurely, Song Mu stood in front of the Imperial City Square again, looked up, his mind was full of thoughts.
