Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 214 Praying to the Imperial Court
When Gu Dan and Xun Ke came to the place where the Daqi Emperor's capital was located, the snow had already stopped.

Even under the same sky, one side is rainy and snowy, and the other side can also sing and dance peacefully.

Stepping into it, only the weather is different.

Although it is winter season, there are still an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, wearing thick cotton clothes.

There are also many peddlers along the street, crowded with people, and the bustle has not been reduced at all because of the cold winter. At first glance, it is really a scene of prosperity.

Walking among them, Xun Ke looked around.

A child ran past him with cheerful singing, and the aroma of all kinds of food wafted around, and when it fell into the tip of people's noses, it hooked people's hearts.

Sightseeing chariots and horses walked on the wide streets enough for eight riders to travel together, peaceful and peaceful.

If he hadn't seen the appearance of that old farmer with his own eyes when he came here, no one would be able to fault him.

Xun Ke couldn't stop looking at it, even he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in, the world was vast, the place was prosperous, and the scene that he wanted to appear in his dreams was right in front of him, but it made him feel cold all over his body, and he couldn't help himself. .

"This is the first time for my brother to come to the imperial capital?"

Seeing Xun Ke standing there in a daze, the vegetable vendor at the side asked with a smile.

Xun Ke nodded as if waking up from a dream, "It's indeed the first time I've come here."

The imperial capital of Daqi is different from that of Da Yuehuang.

Here, people have smiles on their faces, showing self-confidence from the inside out, and even roadside vendors will greet each other boldly and enthusiastically.

But in Dayue, this scene has not been seen for too long.

Whether a country is strong or not will indeed affect the appearance of its citizens—provided that they can enjoy the protection of the country.

And these people who can make a living in the imperial capital obviously enjoy it.

When a large number of people at the bottom contribute their blood, sweat and interests, it is indeed possible for a small group of people to enjoy peace and joy in one place.

Xun Ke had been extremely looking forward to this scene, but when he saw it today, he felt a little nauseous from the bottom of his heart.

He seems to have seen countless people like the old farmer they saw here, suffering in the heavy snow, and risking death even to gather some firewood.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Master Mo - an unprecedented understanding.

because he saw it.

I saw the fire cooking oil under the flowers and brocade.

In a daze, he seemed to hear what Master Mo had said to him again.

'Does the hungry get food?Do the cold get clothes?Do laborers get interest?If these three are not correct, how can a country be a country! '

If wealth and harmony come from this, then wealth and harmony are not worth mentioning!

"Looking at my horse, I know that my brother must be an ordinary person. If you want to come to the imperial capital to have fun, you must try the delicacies of Yingxian Banquet and Baiweiju; if you love the scenery, you must go to Tianmenlou Fortunately, you can also see the beautiful scenery of rising clouds and clouds; if you like women, Cuiyi Pavilion and Yihong Courtyard are even more admirable."

While talking, the vegetable peddler gave Xun Ke a knowing look, his pride was beyond words.

"These places should be good places to go."

Gu Dan walked over, patted Xun Ke who was stunned in place, and asked with a smile, "It's just that the place has been booked, I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

"What we're talking about is the one-to-one land boundaries in the imperial capital. How can other places compare with these places? We only told you this because you are not short of money, but they confiscated a penny."

The peddler patted his chest and said, "Even if you ask ten more people, it's hard to find a better place."

"is it?"

Gu Dan asked.

"Of course!"

The peddler nodded affirmatively.

"We're going to the palace."

Gu Dan said.

"Imperial Palace? What is there to do in the Imperial Palace, that place?"

The words he was speaking suddenly stopped, and the peddler stayed on the spot, his face turned pale, "Don't be joking."

"No kidding, I really want to go."

Gu Dan said with certainty.

"Are you serious? The emperor called you?"

The peddler took a good look at Gu Dan, he was really handsome, but you can't enter the palace just because you look good.

And at the emperor's feet, if you throw a piece and turn your head, you may be able to hit several relatives of the emperor, and it is not completely impossible to be summoned by the emperor.

"It's true that I didn't call, but someone helped me and told me that I will see you anyway."

Gu Dan said.

"Don't make fun of us."

The peddler gave him a blank look.

What kind of person can be summoned just by talking to the emperor?

Unless it's the emperor's father, who can be so good at it?

"Then we'll go there first."

Gu Dan didn't explain, just chatted casually, and then walked towards the direction of the palace.

Seeing that Gu Dan and Xun Ke really set foot on the Chaotian Street leading to the imperial palace, the peddler muttered to himself, "What he said couldn't be true, could it?"

Daqi's palace is different, or quite rare.

Because Daqi's palace was built on the mountain, some of them were even built directly on the mountain.

This is an extremely rare choice, and there are various unsafe factors in it. Needless to say, the key is that the royal family has to climb a mountain if they want to change the palace, which is somewhat inappropriate.

But maybe it was to remember the life in the white mountains and black waters, and when the capital was finally established, the imperial palace was still chosen here.

So even in the imperial city, you can see a high mountain peak in the distance, and even the palace that is faintly exposed in the mountain peak.

It was clearly winter at this time, but the mountain was still lush and lush, and even at first glance, there was an orderly beauty, obviously it was carefully adjusted by an expert, and it took a lot of time to decorate it with countless flowers and plants. Its grandeur is probably no less than that of the Longevity Immortal Palace that Emperor Zongming had in mind.

The so-called imperial palace is not a place, but a region, in which there are many kinds of palaces, and there are many squares. In order to facilitate the court, the real discussion places are all at the foot of the mountain.

And for the sake of safety, there are no shops or houses at a place quite far from the imperial palace, and there is an empty and flat road.

When walking from the busy city, it is from the bustling city of mortals to the broad plain. Looking up, there are green mountains standing in the middle, and the palaces and palaces are so beautiful. .

When the two of them stepped onto the wide road specially left in front of the palace, immediately a guard with a knife came over.

"Stop comers!"

The guard stepped forward and looked at the two of them, with their palms already on the handle of the knife, "The two of you seem to be quite unfamiliar, why are you here in the palace? Do you have an edict?"

It is not possible to enter the palace if you want to, especially when it is built on the mountain, it is even more necessary to guard against rebellious officials and thieves with ulterior motives. The review has always been strict and cautious.

"There is no edict."

Gu Dan said: "However, someone sent a letter for me before, and I don't know if you have received it."

"Ok?"

Anger appeared in the guard's eyes, how dare this person act so arrogantly in front of the palace, thinking who he is!

The palm holding the handle of the knife has been lifted up a little bit, the cold light of the sharp blade is flickering, and he still asked casually, "Who?"

"Bai Xundao."

Gu Dan said.

The palm holding the handle of the knife suddenly lost strength.

Pull out a little long sword and slip it into the sheath.

The guard's complexion changed drastically, he took three steps back, and said in surprise, "You, you, you. Are you that Mo Qiu's best friend?"

"It seems that he passed the news."

Gu Dan nodded calmly.

"Please wait."

In just a few moments, the guard's forehead was sweating, he took out a conch-shaped whistle from his pocket, and blew it violently.

The sharp voice spread far and wide.

Gu Dan watched his movements quietly and did not stop him.

Noticing his gaze, the guard realized that he had walked through the gate of hell in a panic, and quickly explained: "This thing is a notification."

Before I finished speaking, I wished I could slap myself, how could this be getting darker and darker!

Gu Dan stood there indifferently, and also wanted to see whether waiting for him was the thousands of troops who were ready, or the Daqi royal family who had accepted the reality.

Fortunately for the guard, Gu Dan didn't move.

And the moment the whistle rang, a person galloped from the gate of the palace at an extremely fast speed, and finally stopped in front of Gu Dan, with curious and even searching eyes on him, but he did not lose sight of it. Out of courtesy, he clasped his fists and said, "Pray for the master, Xue Wenjian."

"Mo Qiu's best friend."

Gu Dan didn't return the salute, but just said something plainly.

Etiquette is used to treat friends, but obviously Daqi is not a friend.

With the speed at which Xue Wenjian arrived, he might have been waiting at the palace gate long ago.

"Please."

Xue Wenjian glanced at Xun Ke who was beside Gu Dan, he didn't understand that this guy came here, why did he bring a child with low martial arts skills?

I'm really not afraid that Daqi will tear up his face?
Following his footsteps, Gu Dan walked towards the palace as if no one was around, and Xun Ke followed beside him, watching silently without saying a word.

"The Great Praying Palace was built with the guidance of an expert. It coincides with the principles of heaven and earth and is pleasing to the eye. What do you think?"

Xue Wenjian carefully observed Gu Dan's reaction as he walked.

Seeing that Gu Dan didn't seem to have any worries about ambush at all, he couldn't help but lament the boldness of Yi Gao, and Bai Xundao's dying words were probably true!

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to walk around in the Daqi Palace with an attitude of walking around and acting like no one else is around.

"Scenery is a good scene, but people are not like people."

Gu Dan said bluntly.

"."

With one sentence, Xue Wenjian was completely silent, and there was nothing to say along the way until he came to a palace.

The door was wide open, and there were eight people inside.

At a glance, one person was wearing a dragon robe, the other was wearing a moon white robe, and the remaining six were all grand masters with extraordinary qi and blood.

If you count the two who were killed by him, Daqi once had nine masters, although there are only seven left now, which can be called a solid foundation.

When Gu Dan saw them, of course, they all saw Gu Dan.

The man in the dragon robe walked out the door first, greeted him, and bowed.

"The emperor prayed for the dragon, and met the seniors."
