Chapter 157 Arrive at the Capital
The shrill screams of the female corpse in red disturbed everyone in the inn. A group of people wearing coats hurriedly opened the door and walked out of the room, just in time to see the female corpse being burned to ashes in the courtyard.

Then someone discovered that in the room where the coffin was parked, the lid of a coffin had been pushed open, and the female body inside was missing.

Obviously the burned corpse in front of him was the female corpse that should have been lying in the coffin.

This made the faces of the people who were transporting the coffin back to the village change greatly.

But in the face of Zhuge Wolong, who was calm and self-righteous, these rural people did not dare to say anything. They could only silently dig out an earthen jar and collect the ashes turned into the female corpse.

There is no way to take the body back home for burial.

They could only take the ashes back, and the journey would be easier.

Since corpse transformation is common, after everyone understood what happened, they went back to their rooms to rest as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Xiaoxi couldn't help but marvel at this, secretly sighing that people in this world are well-informed.

If this happened in their hometown, not only would nearby residents be unable to sleep, but it would also attract reporters, police, medical staff and other personnel. How could it be as peaceful as now?
Pan Jie smiled and said, "Xiaoxi, it's late at night, let's close the window and rest!"

"Hmm~~" Cheng Xiaoxi tapped his head lightly.

Close the window.

The two came to the bedside in perfect agreement.

Cheng Xiaoxi poured two glasses of wine and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, let's have a drink before going to bed! Although we have long received the acquiescence of my sister and father, we must have a sense of ceremony. After all, this is an unforgettable one for me. day."

"Well, I listen to you."

……

Alcohol is not intoxicating, people are self-intoxicating.

If flowers are not attractive, people will be fascinated by them.

Tonight was destined to be uneventful. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily outside, which could just cover up the movement in the room, so neither of them had the instinct to suppress each other...

……

the next day.

The sky is bright.

Those who stayed overnight at the inn packed their bags and left as soon as possible, as if they were afraid that they would be haunted by ghosts if they stayed for a while longer.

It can be seen that their calmness last night was just because they were accustomed to it, not because they were not afraid.

Pan Jie lovingly carried Xiao Xi into the car, and when leaving the post station, he gave Zhuge Wolong an amulet and asked him to pass it to the old post man.

This kind of inn in the wilderness was nothing when the world was peaceful, but now the world is getting more and more chaotic, and there are more and more ghosts and monsters. Places like this are the easiest to attract ghosts.

The amulet is a charm drawn by Pan Jie, which is enough for the old postman to use seven or eight times to protect himself.

Although it seems that the old postman has only a few good years to live, but in terms of the current world, a lot has happened at the post station in the past few years.

Without this amulet, it would be difficult for the old man to live a long life!
……

the next few days.

The carriage was still bumpy.

However, the occasional shaking of the carriage may have nothing to do with the road, but the restlessness of the people inside.

Of course.

After all, Pan Jie was the Emperor of Fengdu. Whenever he was close to Xiao Xi, he would set up an isolation formation. Zhuge Wolong and Ning Caichen, who were sitting outside the carriage and driving, could not find out what was going on inside.

Can't hear, can't see.

Only occasionally when he stopped to rest, Zhuge Wolong could use his intelligence to see something from Cheng Xiaoxi's rosy complexion.

"I didn't expect that Emperor Fengdu would be so obsessed with women. Then when I get to the capital, should I introduce some beauties to the emperor?" "No, no, no, if I introduce beauties to the emperor, then am I not a bitch?"

"But Young Master Pan has an extraordinary status. If you show some benefits from under your fingernails, it will be enough for me to benefit for the rest of my life."

"..."

Ever since he discovered that Pan Jie was addicted to women, two villains, one good and one evil, appeared in Zhuge Wolong's mind, constantly persuading him to use this to please Emperor Fengdu.

But he was righteous in his heart and couldn't do this.

For a time, Zhuge Wolong was entangled.

Not all ancient official roads were spacious flat roads. Many of them were mountain roads. The winding and narrow mountain roads could only barely accommodate a carriage. They could not be overloaded at all, otherwise they would not be able to pass.

Of course, the ordinary horses mentioned here can't get through it. It's a different matter if it's a horse whose bloodline has been inspired by Pan Jie and evolved into a low-level demon.

He had no other meaning in doing this, he just wanted to reach the capital as soon as possible to avoid changing horses midway.

The horse is strong and can pull up the mountain.

This way he and Xiaoxi don't have to get out of the car and walk.

But even so, it still took the group more than half a month to reach the capital from evolution.

If it wasn't for the company of his sister-in-law on the road, Pan Jie really didn't have that patience.

……

The important place of the capital, even at the end of the dynasty, still has a scene of blooming flowers. The streets and alleys are crowded with people. People who have not left the capital all year round may not even be able to imagine what kind of terrifying world is outside the capital. .

At the feet of the emperor, although the law of the jungle is also about eating the strong, it will not be above board after all. People here act more restrained.

Therefore, when Pan Jie and his party came to the capital, they could see the prosperous appearance before the dynasty was changed. Without thinking about the corruption within the dynasty, they could just wander around the capital of another world as carelessly as Cheng Xiaoxi.

"Brother Pan, the people in the capital are much happier than the people in Jinhua. There are actually guards patrolling the streets to maintain order." Looking at the guards passing by from time to time, Ning Caichen said with emotion.

"It's normal. After all, this is where the emperor lives, so he needs a fig leaf."

After a pause, Pan Jie continued: "Of course, those powerful ministers and wealthy families also need a prosperous place to relax. The stability of the capital is actually the stability that comes from the tacit mediation of all parties. It is like a stick eaten by worms. The load-bearing pillars are as if they have been papered over, leaving only a bright and shiny appearance, but in fact they break when poked and fall over when pushed..."

"What Mr. Pan said pointed to the core of the problem. This is the illusion of prosperity before the Great Xia collapsed and the dynasty changed. Just look at it. If you really believe it, then you will lose."

It was because of his disappointment that Zhuge Wolong took the initiative to stay in prison after being arrested and lived a peaceful life. He also calmed down to write books and practice Confucianism and Taoism.

The group of people were walking and talking. Not far ahead, a large inn appeared where the carriage could be accommodated.

Went to the inn and asked for two upper rooms.

The four of them finally had a place to stay.

After taking a short rest, Zhuge Wolong took Ning Caichen to find Pan Jie who was taking a nap in the room.

"Mr. Pan, I have a few friends who are officials, so I would like to pay a visit and learn about the current situation. I wonder if you will come with us or wait for news?"

"You go!"

Pan Jie has been on the road for more than half a month, and now he just wants to hug his sister-in-law, take a comfortable bath, and have a good sleep.

He was not physically tired, but the main reason was that he had been on the road for too long and was a little mentally tired and needed to relax completely.

After the masters and apprentices of Zhuge Wolong and Ning Caichen left.

Pan Jie immediately asked the waiter to boil a large bucket of hot water, and played with Xiao Xi in the water.

The two of them are really acting more and more absurdly.
