Chapter 778 Involution
"Reshape the body of the second sister, find the whereabouts of the Black and Dry Saint Sect, find out where the soul of the sister Jin is imprisoned, and... become stronger! In order to cope with the four-month
The day of the coming of the last!"

Fang Yu set a goal in his mind, and just at this time, the convoy also started moving forward.

Almost two months have passed since we left Sui Chong Pass. Along the way, we have experienced dangers but also gained a lot.

And now, finally about to arrive in the capital, Fang Yu's heart, which should have been excited, is instead somewhat calm.

Looking at the huge city wall in the distance, which was completely different in scale from other towns, Fang Yu took a deep breath and followed the team forward.

On the way, they encountered several patrol teams one after another. However, this time, with the Suo family's people leading the way, they easily made these minions give way.

It is said that it is easier for the King of Hell than for the little devils to be dealt with. The Suo family is at a level that is neither too big nor too small, and is just the right level to suppress the little devils that block the way. Therefore, they are invincible and their journey is smooth.

It was not until the second large-scale patrol team blocked the road like a gatekeeper that the team's progress was slightly slowed down.

As his identity was revealed, he was allowed to pass again. Eight of the nine checkpoints outside the city had been opened. After passing another hurdle, he would reach the gate of the capital.

It was at this time that Diao Xiaohui quietly climbed out of the carriage.

"..."

She looked up at Fang Yu, then sat back down next to him. Although she looked intact, her body was still trembling slightly.

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat. Did Ding Hui give her some strange new medicine?

Just thinking about it...

boo.

A hole suddenly appeared on the right side of Diao Xiaohui's cheek, and a stream of purple blood burst out, like a blood explosion, and the spurting blood rushed towards Fang Yu's face.

Fang Yuru seemed to have been forewarned and naturally turned his head to avoid it.

Diao Xiaohui suddenly reacted and hurriedly reached out to cover the wound, but a big hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"According to my experience, what's gushing out should be poisonous blood. Only when it all flows out will people feel better."

After saying that, Fang Yu pressed several positions rhythmically as if he had experience.

The wound on Diao Xiaohui's face immediately spurted out more blood, and the rest slowly flowed down her cheek along the wound like a stream.

Diao Xiaohui's originally tense expression gradually relaxed as the poisonous blood was discharged.

She looked at Fang Yu quietly, only to see Fang Yu took out a clean towel and gently pressed it on the wound on her face.

As if noticing Diao Xiaohui's gaze, Fang Yu smiled at her gently.

"It will be a little painful, bear with it."

Diao Xiaohui's eyes seemed to be lost for a moment, or as if she was just pretending. She quickly pressed down the blood-stained towel herself, lowered her head and no longer looked at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu didn't say anything more.

With Diao Xiaohui's recovery ability, she should be able to fully recover from such an injury by tomorrow morning under normal circumstances.

In the eyes of other warriors, this is an almost impossible recovery ability, but for Fang Yu, it is just average.

It can be said that although Diao Xiaohui inherited his bloodline's recovery ability, the strength of her ability is far inferior to that of her original body.

This is also related to Ding Hui's desire to have everything, as he wants to integrate everything together, so his abilities are somewhat mixed. However, the good thing is that his future ceiling is visibly high.

The last team blocking the road ahead had also given way, and the team was slowly moving towards the city gate.

Although the city gate of the capital is spacious and even has several entrances and exits for traffic diversion, it still cannot withstand the large flow of people, so there are still long queues every day.

However, this long queue is also divided into different levels.

For example, Exit No. 1 was empty, with only the guard at the gate yawning there. It was extremely idle.

Fang Yu took a closer look and found that the guards at Gate No. 1 were not very strong compared to the other guards, so the key might be the difference in social status.

Fang Yu was right in thinking that as the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. Naturally, only households with relevant qualifications are eligible for such leisurely work.

However, on the other hand, those who are qualified to enter through Exit No. 1 are all high-ranking officials, so unless the people above are in a good mood and give them something as a reward, they will not get much money that day and can only say that they have enough free time.

Exit 2 to Exit 5 have very little traffic, and most of the time, there is no one at the door, which wastes manpower and entrance space, and does not allow people waiting in line at other entrances to come here.

Because these entrances are also not accessible to ordinary people, Fang Yu even saw someone riding a horse and rushing directly in through one of these entrances, and no one stopped him and even greeted him politely.

In a big city like the capital, there should be rules for the people below, and riding horses in the city should not be allowed. Obviously, rules are dead, but people are alive.

Withdrawing his gaze from those irrelevant entrances, Fang Yu saw that the place the Suo family was heading towards was not the entrance No. 10 outside the official road, where the queue was packed and the long line stretched to the end, but the entrance No. 9, which had relatively fewer people.

Fang Yu and the Zhuge family's team were taking advantage of the Suo family's fame, so naturally they also lined up in the queue at the ninth entrance.

The guards around only glanced over here at the unfamiliar team like Fang Yu and the Zhuge family, and then withdrew their gaze after seeing the flag of the Suo family.

This time I really got some benefit and it was convenient for me.

Fang Yu looked at the guards at entrance number 10, who were conducting strict interrogations and screenings, some of whom even blatantly asked for money before letting people pass, and he could not help but be shocked.

The capital city, the largest city in the Great Xia Dynasty, the tallest city, and the safest town in the entire dynasty, has become corrupt to this extent?

Can this kind of behavior of taking bribes be exposed in public?

Fang Yu was just thinking about it when a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Master Diao, do you think the guards are going too far?"

Fang Yu turned his head to look at the source of the voice, and the person who came was actually Uncle Zi who was riding a horse.

The team started to line up, and the Suo family had no ability to cut in line, so there was no need for them to clear the way. They just had to line up and wait for their turn to enter the city smoothly.

However, Fang Yu was a little surprised that Uncle Zi would come closer to him.

Because before, Uncle Zi and he had always maintained a sense of boundaries, and it seemed that he didn't want to have too much communication.

Fang Yu thought that Uncle Zi meant to take them into the city as a way of repaying the favor of saving his life and thus severing their relationship.

But now, that doesn't seem to be the case.

This intentional kindness only appeared at the foot of the capital...

Fang Yu thought for a while, and soon understood something. It seemed that... he was no longer afraid.

In the capital, no one dares to act recklessly, no matter what their background is, so the Suo family only dares to conduct certain tests and exchanges.

Fang Yu said, shaking his head slightly.

"Every place has its own situation. I will not comment on the guard matters."

He is mature and steady beyond his years, as if he is not a teenager anymore.

Could it be... that it is actually some old monster?
However, there are also some geniuses with such strength, so we cannot jump to conclusions.

Uncle Zi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"In fact, the guards are collecting money, which is actually giving the lower-class people an opportunity." Fang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"How to say?"

"You know, the capital is not a small town. Not everyone is qualified to set foot on this land. Under the emperor's feet, every inch of land is worth a lot of money! Even to step into this door, there is a threshold. This threshold has been slowly lowered over time. Now, as long as you have enough money, you have the opportunity to see the splendor of the capital. Otherwise, ordinary people can only watch from outside the city for their entire lives and cannot step into it."

After hearing what Uncle Zi said, Fang Yu suddenly realized.

For other cities, population is like fuel, demand, and necessity. They constantly release goodwill to attract more people to settle in the city.

However, the capital city is different.

The capital city... has no shortage of people!

Yes, what the capital city has the most is people!
There are people and talents everywhere. In the fiercely competitive capital, those who don't have the ability can only get out. Once one person leaves, there will be plenty of people to fill the position.

This crazy inward-looking environment is surprisingly similar to the current situation of working like a slave.

According to Uncle Zi, in the past, the capital city was full of high-quality talents, but now they are tired of internal competition, so they have loosened their authority and let low-quality people flow in to serve them as cattle and horses, leaving the people below to compete, which means... the market is sinking...

Fang Yu scratched his hair. Why did the environment of the capital of Daxia feel so familiar?

"It seems that Master Diao has understood. If the guards don't charge money, the lower class people won't even be qualified to explore the corners of the capital. Now, they are given an opportunity, which can be regarded as the kindness of the people above."

Uncle Zi smiled and stroked the moustache on his chin, as if he was slightly happy that Fang Yu had answered his question and brought them one step closer.

However, he didn't know that Fang Yu was thinking...

It seems that these people who were exploited to come to the city should be grateful to you.

To enter the city, you must first be skinned by the nine gates outside the city. When you reach the city gate, you have to pay tribute to the big head before you can truly set foot on this land.

The heavy taxation is like a ferocious tiger.

Fang Yu was also puzzled. With so much harvest in the capital, weren't they afraid that no one would come to the capital to work like a slave in the future?

But on second thought, Beijing is the capital, and it is the only top-tier city like Blue Star.

So no matter what happens, there will always be a steady stream of people rushing in from the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, and they cannot be stopped.

Unless one day there is really no one left in the Great Xia Dynasty, this situation will only ease and disappear.

Otherwise, for the capable new generation, Beijing will always be their first choice.

If it weren't for the dangerous roads in the wild, many people wouldn't have the ability to get out of the wild and reach the capital smoothly. The number of people in the capital is likely to increase.

Take Ding Hui for example, she also longed to go to the capital, but the journey was too long. Besides, she had already settled down in Tianyuan Town, had a goal and a stable life, so she suppressed the idea.

Now that she was able to come out, her first thought was to visit the capital.

We must disenchant, we must disenchant the capital...

Fang Yu originally wanted to belittle the capital city, but when he thought about it carefully, everything in the capital city was top-notch and the best in everything. As long as it was within the territory of Da Xia, the capital city would be the top city, and there was nothing wrong with everyone yearning for the capital city.

Materials that cannot be found elsewhere must be found in Beijing.

There must be masters in Beijing that cannot be found elsewhere.

The capital city still has the equipment that cannot be found elsewhere.

If you don’t come to Beijing and open your eyes to the world, most people may not know what it means that there are always people better than you.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yu clasped his fists towards Uncle Zi.

"Thank you for your advice, sir."

"Mr. Diao, you are too polite. We in the Suo family are extremely grateful to you for saving Young Master Zi's life. I wonder what Mr. Diao's plans are after we enter the city?"

Intend……

Fang Yu touched the several letters and keepsakes in his arms.

The first choice, of course, is to secretly inquire about the connections provided by Lord Yan Wenxi of Sui Chongguan, to see if those people are reliable, and then take the next step.

But before that, it seems okay to stay at the Suo family for a while.

"I don't have any plans yet. I'll discuss it with my wife later and then make a decision."

After thinking for a while, Fang Yu said with a smile.

"Hahaha! If Master Diao has no other plans, you can come to our Suo family for a chat. I believe the master will definitely prepare a banquet to entertain Master Diao and Madam Diao. Of course, if Master Diao has other plans, then I will just say this because I am being nosy."

Uncle Zi has a perfect sense of proportion, neither being annoying nor seeming too approachable, while also showing a certain magnanimity and politeness. It can be said that he knows how to behave himself.

Fang Yu bowed his hands to show that he understood.

Uncle Zi did not stay any longer and rode his horse back to their team at Suo's house.

However, Fang Yu noticed that Uncle Zi glanced at the Zhuge family's team.

Looking in the direction Uncle Zi was looking, the young master of the Suo family was still chatting happily with the women in Zhuge's convoy.

Those who didn't know the truth thought that it was a woman from the Zhuge family who saved him.

"It's the beginning of love~"

Ding Hui's voice rang out in Fang Yu's mind.

Fang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes and looked back. Sure enough, Ding Hui in the carriage was winking at him. It was obvious that Ding Hui had eavesdropped on the entire conversation between Uncle Zi and him.

"It's a pity that the falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is merciless."

Fang Yu smacked his lips and said.

Although Master Suo's expression was sometimes exaggerated, and he sometimes expressed something with his hands and feet, the curtains of the Zhuge family's sedan chair were lowered, so that they could communicate through a layer of gauze. The meaning was self-evident.

"My husband really doesn't understand romance. The persistence of a young man is quite passionate~"

"…Just say it, why are you staring at me?"

"No~~" Ding Hui dragged out the tone: "What~"

This guy is still as cold as ice in front of others, but he is becoming more and more aloof in front of me.

Diao Xiaohui, who was still covering her face with a blood-stained towel, also tilted her head to look over. Fang Yu pushed her face forward with an expressionless face.

The team at Gate No. 9 started moving, and Fang Yu rode his horse closely behind Suo Jia to avoid falling behind.

When the team reached the middle of the queue, Fang Yu suddenly felt something and looked back.

I saw people from the Zhuge family carrying a sedan chair and approaching this side.
