At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 448 Su Linglong

The area of ​​Wudi City is dozens of miles in radius, like a paradise on earth. The people live and work in peace and contentment. With the patrolling of Wudi City's warriors, even the daring and reckless people in the martial arts world dare not act recklessly.

After walking for several hours, before sunset, we finally saw the ancient city standing on the coast.

It is not very majestic, and it shows the vicissitudes of time.

The city walls were filled with various weapons, including swords, spears, swords and halberds.

There were warriors patrolling on the top of the city wall, and the city gates were wide open. To be precise, the gates of Wudi City had never been closed.

"Let's go."

"Let's go into the city and take a look."

"This is also my first time in Wudi City."

Xiao Han withdrew his gaze, drove his warhorse, and headed towards Wu Di City. The two of them were dressed like ordinary people and were not recognized.

Hu Chi was also very curious about Wu Di City. He looked around and after entering the city, he asked people about it.

The city was brightly lit, and there were inns and taverns everywhere along the main road.

The street is endless, with people coming and going in an endless stream, and many vendors setting up stalls and selling their wares.

"Shaobing, shaobing, three cents each."

"Come and take a look at this freshly roasted duck."

"The finest silks and satins, don't miss them if you pass by."

Many servants and vendors stood at the door, shouting at the passers-by.

Many beautifully dressed women walked through the streets with their servants, and there were also many literati and heroes wandering around the city.

All kinds of people are present, and it is quite peaceful.

"It's quite lively."

Xiao Han chuckled.

"It's a bit like our Xiliang City."

Tiger Maniac echoed.

Even in Wudi City, you can see many flags and signs of Xiliang businesses.

We passed through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a secluded small courtyard.

"Xinghuaju."

Xiao Han raised his head and looked at the plaque following the candlelight of the lantern in front of the door.

"It seems that this is the merchant headquarters of Wudi City in Xiliang."

He muttered to himself.

Then he pulled the iron ring on the door.

"Who?"

A crisp sound was heard, and after a moment, the door opened. A woman poked her head out. She was wearing a goose yellow dress and was very pretty, especially her eyes, which were very clear.

"You are?"

Her eyes fell on Xiao Han and Hu Chi.

"Is this the headquarters of the Xiaohan Chamber of Commerce?"

Xiao Han asked.

"Yes."

The woman nodded.

He took out a black token from his sleeve and shook it: "Do you recognize it?"

On the front of the token is the word "Xiliang", which is a unique identity token for Xiliang officials, and on the back is a character "king".

The woman took it, looked at it carefully, and knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"I came to Wudi City to do some business, and I'll stay here."

Xiao Han put away the token.

She looked overjoyed and quickly led the two into the courtyard.

The courtyard covers a large area and is not luxurious, but the layout is very pleasing to the eye, with a small bridge, flowing water, withered vines and green bamboos, and everything else you need.

After all, the Xiliang Chamber of Commerce has the backing of Xiliang, its trade routes stretch all over the world, and it is wealthy and powerful.

The woman led them into the main hall and bowed, "Your Highness, I will go and inform the master in charge."

"Go."

He nodded slightly.

Pick up the hot tea on the table and sip it slowly.

After a while, a graceful and elegant woman walked quickly into the hall. She was about thirty or forty years old, well-maintained, dressed in silk and satin, and had an extraordinary temperament.

"Your Majesty."

The woman saluted respectfully, lowering her eyebrows, and did not forget to steal a glance at the man. For the people of Xiliang, the name of Xiliang King Xiao Han has unimaginable prestige. Although the woman is the head of the Wudi City Chamber of Commerce.

But in Xiliang, there is no number. If nothing unexpected happens, I may never have the chance to see Xiao Han in person in this life.

God bless you, the King of Xiliang actually came today.

"What's your name?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I don't eat humans."

"Pingnu is not nervous, she is just too excited."

The woman raised her head, her pretty face flushed slightly, even her breathing became heavier, and her eyes were filled with ripples.

"Please let your Highness know that my name is Su Linglong."

"Su Linglong?"

Xiao Han muttered, and seemed to remember something, so he asked: "What is your relationship with the Xiliang Su family?"

"Reporting to the prince, Pingnu is the bloodline of the Su family."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Su Linglong replied, "My father, Su Yunchang, works as a clerk in the Commercial and Travel Department of Xiliang Prefecture."

"My brother Su Tan is the deputy general in the Black Armor Army."

"I remember Su."

Xiao Han sighed: "When I entered Xiliang, the Su family was one of the first families to follow me."

"Su Tan is a good fighter, but he has a bad temper."

Su Linglong's eyes were slightly red. She didn't expect that Xiao Han remembered the Su family so clearly.

"Ping Nu feels that Your Highness cares about her."

Su Linglong bowed again.

"Cough cough."

He took a look and found the mountains to be very majestic. However, in order to maintain his image as the King of Xiliang, he immediately retracted his gaze and asked curiously, "If she is a girl from the Su family, why did she come to Wudi City?"

Su Linglong replied, "Pingnu originally wanted to join the army to fight the enemy, but my brother didn't allow it, so she went to my father to ask for a job, but my father didn't allow it. After a quarrel, Pingnu came to Wudi City."

"Don't listen to them."

Xiao Han smiled and said, "After the fall, there will be an imperial examination. If you are confident, go and give it a try."

"Can ordinary women also take part in the imperial examination?"

Su Linglong's breathing became heavier, and the mountains became more majestic.

"Natural energy."

Xiao Han nodded, "But if you want to take the imperial examination, you have to prepare early. There is the county exam in April and the state exam in June. You can only take the imperial examination if you pass both exams in a row."

"If you are truly talented, I will personally promote you. You can lead troops to fight, or join the cabinet to make strategic plans."

"Does your Majesty really mean this?"

Su Linglong opened her beautiful eyes wide.

"nature."

"When has the king ever spoken out of turn?"

He said: "But let me be frank. You must have real talent and knowledge, otherwise I can't promote you."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Su Linglong said: "Pingnu must have passed three levels in a row."

"It's good to be confident."

Xiao Han has always valued people who are confident or talented, regardless of gender.

"My Lord, how many days will you stay in Wudi City?"

Su Linglong asked, "Pingnu should also prepare."

"About three to five days."

He said, "I heard that the hot springs in Wudi City are pretty good. I've been traveling a lot these days and have been wanting to soak in the hot springs."

"Your Majesty has chosen the right place."

Su Linglong raised her lips with a charming smile: "There is a spring in the backyard. When I bought it, I built two hot spring pools."

"My Lord, follow me."

After saying that, he led the way.

"Walk."

Xiao Han stood up and called Hu Chi to go to the backyard together.

The hot spring was very large and divided into several rooms. He occupied a small courtyard alone, while Hu Chi went to the courtyard next door.

The bathtub was extremely spacious. As one soaked in it, a steady stream of hot water gushed out from underground. Su Linglong came in with two maids.
