Chapter 26 Return
Ningcheng.

On the second day, in the early morning, Gu Chen opened his eyes, washed up, and started a new day of morning exercises.

Around noon, Zhou Rang came to the door suddenly, which surprised Gu Chen.

"Mr. Zhou, please sit down. I don't know why Mr. Zhou is here this time?" Gu Chen cupped his hands.

After a night's rest, Zhou Rang's complexion improved a lot. Hearing this, he lightly smiled and touched the white beard on his chin, and said, "I came here this time mainly to thank Mr. Gu. If it wasn't for Mr. Gu, you , it is possible that Ningcheng will be in danger of falling, and the entire 15 people of Ningcheng may not survive."

"Mr. Zhou is serious. Everything is just Gu's job. If Ningcheng really falls because of this, Jing Tiansi will definitely not let me go." Gu Chen said.

In fact, it was true, if Ningcheng really fell, Jing Tiansi would definitely hold Gu Chen accountable.

"Even so, Mr. Gu still saved the lives of 15 people in Ningcheng. I am here to thank Mr. Gu on behalf of all the people in Ningcheng."

With that said, Zhou Rang got up, bent over, and bowed deeply to Gu Chen.

"Mr. Zhou please get up quickly." Seeing this, Gu Chen hurriedly helped Zhou Rang up.

After getting up, Zhou Rang said with a smile: "There is one more thing I want to tell Mr. Gu. My interim magistrate of Ningcheng should have come to an end. Tiandu has already known about Ningcheng. Xinzhi County is on the way. It won't be long before we can reach Ningcheng."

Gu Chen nodded, he naturally knew about this matter, he said: "Ningcheng is lucky to have you, Mr. Zhou, if it wasn't for your help during this period, things might not have gone so smoothly."

This sentence, Gu Chen also said sincerely, without Zhou Rang's help, those people might not trust him, and it would not be so easy to search the whole city.

There was a strong smile on Zhou Rang's old face, and he said: "Actually, the third thing I need to do to find you today, Mr. Gu, is the most important thing. Of course, it's also a private matter of this old man."

"Old Mr. Zhou, but it's okay to say." Gu Chen signaled Zhou Rang.

"Okay." Zhou Rang nodded, and said: "The thing is like this, the old man's eldest son works in Tiandu, I am old, and there is a long way to go to Tiandu, I can't stand the trouble, I haven't seen him for a long time, I have a letter here, please take the time to send it to me after Mr. Gu returns to Tiandu, I wonder what Mr. Gu would like?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled slightly, and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, Mr. Zhou don't say anything troublesome about such a trivial matter, just do it as you please."

"Okay, Mr. Gu is refreshing, this old man will thank Mr. Gu first."

As Zhou Rang said, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen took it, glanced at the address above, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

"This is... If Gu read correctly, your son lives in the inner city?" Gu Chen raised his head, looked at Zhou Rang and asked.

"That's right." Zhou Rang stroked his beard lightly, nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "He is the first-class mirror holder of the Great Xia Mirror Division."

"what?!"

Gu Chen was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhou Rang's son to have such an identity.

The Mingjing Division is as famous as the Jingtian Division where Gu Chen works, but relatively speaking, the ranks within the Mingjing Division are not as detailed as Jingtian Division.

Inside the Der Spiegel Department, apart from the four major inspectors, there are mirror holders, and the mirror holders are divided into first-level mirror holders, second-level mirror holders, and third-level mirror holders.

Among them, the first level is the highest and the third level is the lowest.

Although the division is extremely simple, even a third-level mirror holder has the same status as the patrol envoy of Jingtiansi.

The second-level mirror holders are equivalent to the inspectors within Jingtian Division, and the first-level mirror holders have the same status as the commanders within Jingtian Division.

You must know that even the lowest-ranking commanders in Jingtiansi have the same status as the third-rank officials of Da Xia, or even half a rank higher. This shows the high status and great power of the first-level mirror holders.

Basically, the operation of the entire Der Spiegel Department is in charge of these first-level mirror holders inside. Unless there are some important matters, the four major inspectors of the Der Spiegel Department will not be disturbed.

Now, Zhou Rang asked Gu Chen to deliver a letter to the first-level mirror holder, and this person was his son. Obviously, Zhou Rang was paving the way for Gu Chen.

No wonder the world once said that Zhou Rang, the governor of Qingyang County, had better support his younger generation. There are many officials in Qingyang County who are all Zhou Rang's disciples, or have received Zhou Rang's favor.

Based on what Gu Chen has learned so far, this old man is indeed serving the country and the people and has no selfish motives.

Gu Chen took a deep look at Zhou Rang, clasped his fists and said solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Rang stroked his beard gently, smiled amiably, and said: "Where is it, Mr. Gu is being polite."

Afterwards, he got up and said: "The matter is almost finished, the old man will not disturb Mr. Gu's rest. By the way, when is Mr. Gu going to leave and return to Tiandu?"

Gu Chen said: "Just today."

Zhou Rang nodded when he heard the words, and said: "So, the old man is here to wish Mr. Gu a smooth journey, and hope to have a chance to see you again in the future."

"Definitely." Gu Chen nodded solemnly, and personally sent Zhou Rang downstairs, watching the old man get into the carriage and gradually go away.

Afterwards, Gu Chen packed up his package and set off immediately, returning to Tiandu in the afternoon of the next day.

Tiandu City is still so bustling, the streets are full of people coming and going, the traffic is busy, all kinds of hawkers are hawking, and the fireworks are very strong.

Tiandu City is the capital of Daxia, covering an extremely wide area. Standing at the gate of the city, looking from afar, you can't see the end at all. It is like a boundless mountain range standing on the ground, magnificent and huge.

This city has witnessed the change of countless dynasties. The walls are thick and dark blue, and some knife marks and arrow holes can be seen in some places, full of traces of time, giving people a sense of historical precipitation.

Tiandu City is divided into four parts, from the outside and the inside are the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city and the palace city.

Each of these four parts, taken to the outside world, is a city with an extremely wide area alone, and it is these four cities with an extremely wide area that are combined to form the Tiandu City.

The outer city is where ordinary people or low-rank officials live, while the inner city is where high-ranking officials and dignitaries are eligible to live. Ordinary people need ID tokens to enter the inner city, and the time is limited. You can stay in the inner city all the time.

Compared with the outer city, the defense of the inner city is much stricter, and there are more curfews, in order to protect the personal safety of those dignitaries.

As for the imperial city and Miyagi, they are related to the emperor's relatives, and they are not accessible to Gu Chen at this level.

After Gu Chen returned to Tiandu, he went home and changed his clothes. After all, he had traveled for a day and a night, and his body was inevitably a little dusty. Afterwards, he found a carriage and started heading to the inner city.

The distance between the outer city and the inner city is very far. With Gu Chen's foot strength, it will take about one or two hours to reach it.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the junction of the inner city and the outer city. After Gu Chen got out of the carriage and showed his identity token, he was let go by the soldiers guarding the gate.

It is worth mentioning that, as Jing Tiansi's patrol envoy like Gu Chen, no additional identity token or proof is needed to enter the inner city, Jingtiansi's token is the best proof.

Of course, if he wanted to spend the night in the inner city, he could only choose to go to Jing Tiansi instead of other places.

After paying the carriage fee, Gu Chen walked into the inner city, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Compared with the outer city, the buildings in the inner city are more exquisite and varied, and the streets are wider, criss-crossing, with lush trees and lush greenery. Everyone walking on the street here, in terms of clothing, is all glamorous and has a lot of money.

The prosperity of the inner city is indeed far from the comparison of the outer city. The floors are paved with bluestone, and all kinds of food, clothing, etc. can be found everywhere. Even Gu Chen, who comes from the age of information explosion, sees such a prosperous inner city. It was also a little overwhelmed, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden and was very curious about everything.

However, Gu Chen did not forget his business in the inner city this time. He followed the address in the letter and spent some time to arrive at the destination of his trip.
