Riding the Pheonix Chapter 160: Yunjing

Three hundred years ago, the world was in chaos and heroes rose up. Taizu of the previous dynasty was ambitious and raised troops to unite the four directions. When he wants to unify the world, he doesn't even have to abandon his original country. He chooses a rich and beautiful land to build a new capital, Yunjing.

Later, when troubled times arose again, the Jiang family took their place, and Yunjing became the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

After more than three hundred years, Yunjing has become truly the number one capital in the world.

When Ming Wei was young, he lived in Yunjing with his master for a period of time.

She once asked her master, Qi and Chu exist side by side in the world, why should we choose Qi instead of Chu? Is it because Master is from Qi?

Master said that there are many reasons if you look into it carefully. The most obvious one is that the capital of Northern Qi is in Yunjing.

The location of Kyoto is related to the vision of a dynasty.

Yunjing spans Xiongguan to the north, Hehuang to the west, fertile fields to the south, and the Changhe River to the east. Sitting in one city, you can view the world. Only such an imperial city can cultivate a universal mind.

At that time, Mingwei had no interest in it.

She only knows that Yunjing is a good place with a lot of delicious food and fun!

But now, when she looked at the majestic imperial city from a distance, she realized what her master said.

A country with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, a city with nine gates.

If you don’t see the emperor’s residence strong, you will know that the emperor is respected.

The broad official road was bustling with people, and countless carriages and horses loaded with goods lined up waiting to enter the city gate. Looking from a distance, it stretches for more than ten miles.

"There are so many people!" Duofu exclaimed, having never seen so many people before.

Ji Ling, who was sitting in front of the car, smiled: "This is the capital, so of course there are many people."

Duofu stretched his neck and looked at the endless queue, worried: "There are so many people, when can we enter the city?"

"Don't worry," Ji Ling said, "Master Jiang is escorting the prisoners to Beijing. There is no need to go through a city gate with them. We can go in after they finish negotiating."

As expected, not long after, the convoy moved.

They passed by the people pushing carts and carrying burdens and entered Yunjing through another city gate.

Mingwei looked at the scenery on the roadside through the car window.

Compared with the luxurious and lifeless Yunjing she had seen, this Yunjing was less glamorous and more majestic.

This is like an imperial capital.

The convoy marched silently, and Ah Xuan came over: "Mr. Ji, we will take these prisoners directly to Dali Temple. You see..."

Ji Ling asked: "Can we leave first?"

"Of course. Mr. Jiang has already said hello. You can leave your address and leave. Please also ask Miss Ming not to go out in the near future. You may be summoned at any time."

Ji Ling turned around and asked, "Cousin, what do you think?"

Ming Wei said: "My eldest cousin is the one who makes the decision."

He then said to Ah Xuan: "It's inconvenient to say goodbye right now. Please tell them for me and we'll see you later."

Axuan nodded in agreement: "Yes. Go away, girl."

The car they were in broke away from the convoy and turned onto another street.

First walked through the main street, then into the alley. After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, Ji Ling said, "Just stop here. The alley is too small to get in."

The coachman stopped as he was told, Ji Ling turned around and opened the door, and said with a bit of guilt: "Cousin, I have to ask you to walk a few steps. My family is not well-off, and the place where I live is a bit narrow."

Mingwei got out of the car and smiled: "What are you talking about, cousin? There are tens of thousands of mansions, and the couches are no more than three feet tall."

She looked up and saw a narrow alley in front of her. The houses were relatively old and the alley was fairly neat. The alley is very long and seems to be home to many families. There are smartly dressed women coming in and out, and there are many children running around.

Looking at the environment, there are only some small families living here. My mother said it was not easy for my uncle in the capital, and it seemed that she was not lying.

Ji Ling told the coachman: "There is a carriage shop on the street. You can leave the carriage there and then come home."

The coachman agreed and helped to unload all the luggage.

Ji Ling carried the urn on his back and led Mingwei and Duofu into the alley.

A woman saw him and shouted, "Isn't this the eldest brother of the Ji family? Is he back?"

Ji Ling nodded in response: "Yes, Aunt Miao."

Hearing this sound, all the women nearby looked over, and some children came forward to ask for sweets: "Uncle Ji, you said you would bring us sweets when you left."

A hint of smile appeared on Ji Ling's serious face and he said: "We were walking in a hurry and didn't have time. I'll buy some candies later and ask Xiao Wufen to give them to you, okay?"

The woman's attention was on Mingwei and Duofu, feeling that this pair of master and servant was really strange. The young lady is so beautiful, but the maid she brings is so ugly.

They said to each other: "Brother Ji, you said earlier that you were going to see your cousin. Could it be that this is your cousin?"

"Didn't you say you were going to have a look? Why did you bring him back? Are you planning to arrange a wedding for Xiao Wu?"

"My cousin was born so well, Xiaowu is so lucky!"

Ji Ling walked all the way and responded: "Yes, this is my cousin."

"My aunt left, and there was no one to take care of my cousin, so I brought her back."

"We'll talk about Xiaowu later."

Mingwei stood behind Ji Ling. When anyone looked over, he nodded and smiled, and quickly won the favor of these women.

I heard from the Ji family earlier that their cousin was a young lady from a prominent family, but I didn’t expect that she had no airs at all.

The three of them quickly arrived at the door of Ji's house. ~IndoMTL.com~ Ji Ling asked the young man to come back early, and now the Ji family has gained the trust. When they arrived, the door opened just in time.

"Daddy!" A milky voice sounded, and a little baby, no more than two or three years old, jumped out.

Ming Wei was startled for a moment, then he saw Ji Ling striding forward and picking up the little baby, with a serious smile on his face: "Is Zhu'er good these days? Do you miss your father?"

"Yes!" The doll hugged him, "Pearl missed her daddy and even cried!"

"Really? Let daddy see if your eyes are swollen from crying?"

The father and daughter were getting tired when another voice came from inside: "Boss Ji, you've had enough! My cousin is still here, hurry up and welcome her in!"

Ming Wei heard the voice was clear and crisp. When she looked up, she saw a young woman in her twenties. Round face, beautiful eyebrows, petite figure, bright eyes.

Seeing her looking over, the young woman quickly smiled: "Is this the cousin of the Ming family? Are you tired from the journey? Come in quickly."

Ji Ling just remembered, held her daughter and stepped aside, smiling: "Cousin, this is your eldest cousin."

Mingwei heard from Nanny Tong that her eldest cousin married a girl from his classmate, whose maiden name was Dong. She bowed and saluted: "My eldest cousin."

"Don't be too polite." Mrs. Dong helped her up, "Sit inside first."

Ming Wei is smiling.

The Ji family's house is not big, with only two yards at the front and back. In addition to Master Ji and Ji Ling, there is also a fifth brother in the family. There were very few servants. Except for Ji Ling, Mingwei only saw a middle-aged couple and a maid.

Ji Ling walked in and asked, "Where are my parents?"

Mr. Dong replied: "Dad hasn't finished school yet. Mom heard that you guys were coming today and took grandma to buy groceries."
