520 Han Muye Enters the Imperial City (3)

He nodded.

In that case, the Xiao family that Xiao Yueli is from should be in the upper city, right? he thought.

After all, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Lingshan, is one of the three commanders of the Red Flame Army in the Imperial City.

“Yan Mountain’s General’s estate should be in the upper city, right?” Han Muye looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man shrunk his neck and hurriedly nodded. “Young Master is going to the Grand General Xiao’s residence?

“That’s uptown.”

With that, he bowed and led Han Muye to the side of the road.

“Young Master, the upper city is still far from here. If you want to go over, you have to take a carriage.

“Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t even reach there after walking for two days.”

Although flying was not prohibited in the Imperial City, it was a custom that no one flew in the city.

It was indeed unknown how long it would take to walk.

The middle-aged man introduced the city to Han Muye as they walked.

His name was Zuo Lin, and he could be considered a native of the Imperial City.

Unfortunately, his cultivation was not smooth and he did not know Confucianism. He had to rely on his familiarity with the Imperial City to lead the way as a means of living.

Those who could do this business in the Imperial City could be considered to be making a living.

When they arrived at the carriage shop, Zuo Lin went forward to negotiate the price. Han Muye took a medium-grade spiritual rock as a deposit and rented a carriage.

The rental of the carriage was 10 spiritual rocks a day.

The carriage rental had many shops in the city. As long as the carriage was returned to any of these shops on the same day, the deposit would be refunded.

Zuo Lin drove the carriage, and Han Muye sat in the carriage with the curtain raised.

The carriage drove on the wide road at a decent speed.

Zuo Lin smiled and introduced the scenery to Han Muye loudly.

“Young Master, this is the Fire Maple Forest. There was once a great poet who wrote poems here.”

“Young Master, do you see the five floors on the left? That’s the famous Banquet Restaurant in the Imperial City. It’s said that all Confucianists who want to be on the Golden List have to eat a bowl of rice soup downstairs.

“Wind and Rain Pavilion. This is the Wind and Rain Pavilion. It’s said that there are 800 Wind and Rain Pavilions in the Imperial City. They are all used to shelter passers-by from the wind and rain. Many people live in the Wind and Rain Pavilion for a long time.

“It’s not easy to live in the Imperial City. As you can see, this carriage costs 10 spiritual rocks a day. It’s really difficult for ordinary Confucianists to live in the Imperial City…”

Even though the Imperial City was Heavenly City, there was a haze under its splendor.

Sitting in the carriage and listening to Zuo Lin’s story in the Imperial City, Han Muye smiled.

At this moment, his mind was divided again.

However, it was not the Great Dao that merged into the sky. Instead, he was like an audience standing outside the Imperial City and looking at it.

The heart of the Imperial City might not have changed since ancient times.

However, the people in the city were like flowing water, constantly changing with the passage of time.

This was a city that could not even leave a trace of time. Who could remember those figures that had once lived here?

Among the living beings of the world and the myriad worlds, who isn’t a passerby? he thought.

Is there really immortality?

Han Muye narrowed his eyes, and his aura vibrated slightly.

The change in his state of mind allowed him to refine the divine beast’s body faster.

Half a day later, there was a change in the scenery outside the carriage.

The hustle and bustle had lessened, and there was a hint of solemnity.

“Young Master, this is the middle city. That’s the direction of the Imperial City Academy.”

Zuo Lin raised his hand and pointed to the right.

Over there, the purple aura of the People’s Will and the drifting literary talent turned into floating clouds.

Even if one did not approach it, one could tell that it was truly a good place.

“The middle city is mostly an important place in the dynasty. Many of the Mystic Sun Guards’ bases are there, so the middle city is not as noisy.”

Zuo Lin’s driving speed also slowed down slightly.

There were many government offices in the middle city. Zuo Lin lowered his voice and introduced them.

Some of the yamens were not big and had a lot of power. Some of them looked grand, but they were actually free from corruption.

There were also some interesting stories among the officials.

Only those who had lived in the Imperial City for a long time knew about them.

These stories and rumors could mesmerize those who had just arrived at the Imperial City.

It was not until sunset that the carriage slowly stopped beside a large mansion surrounded by green willows.

Through the white courtyard wall, one could see the lofty pavilions in the residence.

This residence occupied an area the size of a small city.

In the upper city of the Imperial City, such residences were connected.

“Young Master, this is Yan Mountain’s General Manor.

“The general is in the military camp and hasn’t returned to the residence for a few years. He usually leaves the door here open.”

If it wasn’t for the fact that they were welcoming an absolutely esteemed guest, they wouldn’t have opened the middle door.

In Zuo Lin’s opinion, Han Muye’s status was not enough to welcome him.

After getting off the carriage, Zuo Lin pointed to a row of green-armored soldiers standing by the door and said in a low voice, “Young Master, who are you looking for in the mansion? I’ll help you report it.

“There are too many things in the Imperial City that require relatives to seek officials. These guards are usually unwilling to make reports.”

Who am I looking for?

Xiao Lingshan was not in the residence.

Even if he was here, it was impossible for Han Muye to look for this general directly.

He had come to the Xiao family to ask where Mu Wan was.

He was not interested in anything else.

Han Muye pondered for a moment and said, “Help me ask if the deacon named Xiao Chu has returned to the city.

“If he has, tell him that Mu Ye is here to look for him.”

He would look for Xiao Chu and ask where Mu Wan was. Then he would just leave.

Zuo Lin nodded.

Just as he thought.

This young master should be a relative of a Xiao Family deacon.

He is here to seek refuge.

Zuo Lin thought as he strode forward and reported in a low voice to the soldier standing at the door.

He was born in the Imperial City and usually did this business of leading the way. The soldiers at the door did not make things difficult for him.

A soldier in green armor nodded and turned around to report.

Zuo Lin turned around and smiled at the carriage.

It was almost done.

For this trip, he should be able to collect three to five spiritual rocks later.

This young master could have a relative in a big family in the upper city. With a little help, it would not be difficult for him to stay in the Imperial City.

If he could build a relationship with this young master, he might be able to run errands and earn more spiritual rocks in the future.

Living in the Imperial City was really difficult. If not for the fact that his family would miss this place, they would have left the Imperial City long ago.

Suddenly, Zuo Lin’s expression changed.

In Yan Mountain’s General’s Mansion, the clanking sound of armor clashing could be heard.

More than 10 figures rushed out of the open door.

The leader was wearing a navy blue robe and a black veil.

His expression was solemn as he looked ahead and strode forward. The few people behind him were all wearing red armor.

Zuo Lin’s eyes widened.

This was Xiao Changfeng, the master of the Xiao Family, the grandmaster of Confucianism and the Censorate of the left capital!

There was also a person wearing the lion-swallowing fire armor. It was clearly the second master of the Xiao family, the Red Flame Army’s vanguard general, Xiao Changchun.

The others were all powerful figures of the Xiao Family!

Zuo Lin, who was in a daze, watched as Xiao Changfeng led a few important figures of the Xiao family and strode to the front of the carriage.

The Confucianism Grandmaster, the Xiao Family’s Elder, the Dynasty’s Xiao Changfeng straightened his clothes and raised his hands to bow.

The martial grandmaster bowed to welcome him!

Zuo Lin would have gone limp if he hadn’t been leaning against the porch post.

Who is the person that I drove around today?
