Han Yunong sighed and smiled bitterly: "There is Murong in the south, and Xiling is also occupied by the rebels. If there are remnants of the rebels like the Queen Mother in this pass, if the Queen Mother will not be prevented and extinguished early, They sat down and even froze, and the empire could just...!" He wanted to say nothing but did not continue.

Qin Xiao didn't have the mind to control Nanjiang, just thinking that Yu Wenchengchao would go into the tiger's lair alone, and he couldn't feel at ease.

"Lieutenant Du, did you say that the Queen Mother would have any conspiracy?" Qin Xiao thoughtfully: "They met us for the first time tonight. They don't know our details at all, and they didn't even see it. Our appearance makes us very diligent in drawing us to join the Queen’s Club. Since this Queen’s Club is a secret organization, it is urgent to draw people to join them, so we should act cautiously. How could it be so hasty? Are they really not worried? Are we from the court?"

Han Yunong nodded slightly and said, "This is also what I find strange. It stands to reason that such an organization will not pull people into the group so hastily, let alone reveal their identity without knowing the details of the other party. ."

"Du Wei, is Zhao Shengtai really that Zhao, the brother of the Zhao scholar?"

Han Yunong shook his head and said: "I don't know. I only know that Zhao Yan made an order to conspiracy against the party, all officials were executed, and his family was also involved in the rebellion. At that time, I followed the general. There are many rumors in Xiling Duhu Fu. There are many rumors in Kyoto. I am only a soldier and have not much interest in court affairs. I am not sure whether the officials were ransacked or if any family members had escaped. ."

"It's useless to say anything now." Qin Xiao sighed: "The eldest son has gone with them. I can only hope that everything goes well for him."

Han Yunong just nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Taking a rest overnight, Du Hongsheng has recovered a lot. Although his body is still a little weak, he doesn't want to delay his trip to Beijing.

After he woke up, he naturally found that Yuwen Chengchao was missing.

Han Yunong knows that the whereabouts of Yuwen Chengchao is naturally the less people know the better. After all, it is to enter the Queen’s Club with a concealed identity. If the people at the Queen’s Club know that Yuwen Chengchao wants to join the club to inquire about information, he will definitely let Yuwencheng North Korea is in danger.

Although Du Hongsheng was a member of the court, Han Yunong had already discussed with Qin Xiao before he woke up. He didn’t have to tell the truth about Yuwencheng’s infiltration of the Queen’s Mother’s Association. Instead, he was already prepared to make a speech. Yuwen Chengchao discovered a group of evil cults harming people, so he was looking for the traces of those people, trying to find out their lair and then report it to the government. Even if the Queen Mothers Club existed, he did not mention it, and said that he would wait until this matter is done. Okay, go to Kyoto to meet up immediately.

Du Hongsheng didn't ask too much. At dawn, the three of them packed up and left the village.

It was not a day on the way. I went all the way east, crossed Fenshui, and left Yongzhou. Within a few days, I was already in the Gyeonggi area. I traveled for two more days and finally arrived at the Great Qin Dynasty.

The imperial capital is magnificent, and Qin Xiao was surprised when he saw the imperial capital for the first time, that kind of thick and heavy, far from what he had seen before.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the capital was built here. The vicissitudes of the past two hundred years have given this huge city a solid foundation.

There are strong mountains to the west and endless peaks. Luoshui comes from the southwest and runs through the ancient capital. To the east, it is enclosed by the ancient cloud mountain. It is magnificent and majestic. One of the three elites of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Capital Shence Army was stationed there. Under Guyun Mountain, the peak of Guyun Mountain is steep and upright, and the 30,000 Shence Army guards Kyoto, which is enough to ensure the safety of Kyoto.

The mountains are like gatherings, and the hope is too short, traveling in Luoshui, wandering into the capital.

Surrounded by mountains and beautiful waters, the city of Kyoto is magnificent and simple, making it the undisputed number one city in the world.

Kyoto Nine

The gate, Qin Xiao and the three entered from the west gate, and the investigation was strict. Qin Xiao and Han Yunong had their sabers on their bodies. When they entered the city, the Kyoto guards in black armor saw the two sabers and immediately took them aside for inquiries.

Du Hongsheng and Han Yunong both reported their identities. The guards didn't care at all. They still disarmed and took away Qin Xiao and Han Yunong's sabers.

Although Du Hongsheng is the county guard in Xiling, but in this Kyoto, the small county guard is really not worth mentioning.

The soldier guarding Kyoto is the Kyoto Takei Camp, which is under the control of the Nine Gates Guards. General Takei of the Nine Gates is always negotiated by the South Court and decided by the emperor. Although it is only a miscellaneous general, it is because it is in charge of Kyoto Jiu. The door, so the position is extremely important, not only needs the Southern Court to discuss the candidate, but also this person must win the emperor's trust.

Wuweiying guards this Kyoto city, so from top to bottom, there is some arrogance in the bones, except for the dragon scale guards of the garrison palace, which is the three elite army of the empire, Wuwei camp has never looked at it.

Because the gate guard doesn’t care whether Du Hongsheng is the county guard or not, even if it’s true, it’s just a local official from outside, not worth mentioning, and Han Yunong is a captain of the captain’s mansion. In the eyes of the guards, it was nothing. When the weapons were collected, there was no discussion at all.

Although Qin Xiao felt a little bit angry, everything was strange when he first arrived in Kyoto, and it was even more unlikely that he would argue with the guards before entering the city.

Entering the city, Qin Xiao felt the grandeur of this ancient city for the first time.

Although Qin Xiao came to Kyoto for the first time, when he was in Xiling, he still heard about the city of Kyoto. He knew that it was not only the number one city in the world, but also that after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he has always regarded it as the city. For more than two hundred years, this city has actually been the loyalty and mind of the entire empire, and countless decrees of the empire are all issued from this city.

This ancient city has seen too much glory in the Datang Empire.

More than two hundred years ago, the founding Emperor Taizu entered Kyoto, and this ancient city began its glorious years. Countless foreign envoys experienced hardships and all believed that they could enter this city to worship the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. Rong, and this ancient city has never let the foreign envoys down, but when they can enter the city to go to the emperor, when they leave, they will definitely return with satisfaction.

Over the past two hundred years, Kyoto City has been expanded and repaired several times. Although it has experienced years of wind and frost, this towering ancient city has always stood here and has become the center of the empire.

The roads in the city criss-cross, but they are extremely wide. There are many shops, row upon row, bustling, and the streets are full of people and cars.

Qin Xiao rode on the broad streets, looking around, feeling the prosperity and prosperity of the empire.

No matter who is here, it is easy to forget the crisis of the empire, and will be infected by the prosperity and excitement of Kyoto City.

The high walls of the capital seemed to divide the Tang Empire into two worlds.

One is the world inside the city, and the other is the world outside the city.

There are so many freshly clothed angry horses on the streets, neatly dressed, and the dazzling array of goods shows that the empire still has substantial wealth, which is completely different from the barren people Qin Xiao saw in the bitter cold land of Xiling.

Across the streets, Du Hongsheng led Qin Xiao and Han Yunong on horseback riding along the banks of Luoshui.

Du Hongsheng was an official sent from Kyoto to Xiling. He spent many days in Kyoto in his early years, so he was very familiar with Kyoto.

It was bumpy all the way, although Du Hongsheng was tired, but when he entered the capital, he became energetic.

"There are three big rivers in the capital, Luoshui, Gushui and Raoshui, all of which are natural water introduced." Du Hongsheng smiled and said: "As early as the previous dynasty,

Kyoto is based on Luoshui, with many channels built, and transportation is very convenient. There are squares in the city, and there are rivers in the squares. "Looking at the Luoshui River on the side, he continued: "The waterway can transport goods to the city. In addition, you can also travel along the river. There is a saying that the northerners ride horses and the southerners plow a boat. Southerners are not good at horseback riding. When they arrive in Kyoto, they prefer to take a boat trip on the river. Look, there are two small boats over there. The boat girl is the boat girl. The guests above should have come from the south. "

Qin Xiao can see clearly that the small boat is a awning boat, not too big. The punting boat girls are very slim, and the punting movements are very skillful. He is in Xiling and rarely takes a boat. Asked: "Master Du, is this ship very expensive?"

"That's not expensive." Du Hongsheng no longer has to endure the bumps on the road, and he seems to be in a better mood. He explained with interest: "These boat ladies take guests along the water to help them explain the scenery on both sides of the strait, you Everyone knows that this Kyoto city started in the previous dynasty and is the capital city. It has a history of more than three hundred years. There are almost every street in Kyoto with stories. These boat girls remember the anecdotes that happened in Kyoto. Some allusions are good enough to tell the guests. And most of the ship’s lady looks good, and the ship is not expensive, but once the guests are in a good mood, if the ship’s lady speaks well and looks good, they will also give some rewards and rely on these. Income can barely make a living."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly. He knew that as long as the life at home was okay, it would never be possible for women to earn money and make a living outside. These boat girls came out to show their faces and make a living on the boat. It must be hard at home. As a last resort, it will naturally not be the case.

"Walk along this river to the east city of Kyoto." Du Hongsheng seems to know the situation of the capital well: "Now it is also the most prosperous place in Kyoto city, where merchants gather and it is very lively. If you are free, you can go to the East Market. We passed those streets and there were a lot of goods, but the East Market is full of everything. The high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing often appear in the East Market. Side."

"Master Du, since there is an East Market, is there also a West Market?" Qin Xiao asked.

Du Hongsheng smiled and said: "Yes. Speaking of West Market, it was still the busiest place in Kyoto City more than 20 years ago. It was much more prosperous than East Market." Then he sighed and said: "But now Now that the West Market has withered, it has long been more prosperous than the East Market."

"Why is that?"

"The Utuo people." Du Hongsheng said: "My Datang used to conquer the world, and all the barbarians from all quarters bowed to the ministers. At that time, the Wutuo Khanate had not yet become a climate, and it also claimed to be a minister to my Datang, so naturally I did not dare to stop it. The business route between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, so at that time merchants from the Western Regions would all come to Kyoto City. The Tang Dynasty is full of rivers and rivers, and the grandeur, not only allowed foreign merchants to do business in the capital, but also established the West Market and the Western Regions. The kingdoms, Bohai kingdom, Utuo Khanate, East China Sea kingdoms, and even the Tusun people in the north will appear in the West Market. It is no exaggeration to say that the West Market at that time had all the goods in the world, but whatever you think of You can buy them in the West Market." Raising his hand and stroking his beard, he sighed softly: "I still remember that the annual tax revenue in the West Market at that time was already an astronomical figure, and the business was prosperous. My Datang treasury was also extremely full. With silver, the imperial soldiers will be stronger and stronger, and the stronger the stronger, the greater the trade between the Gentiles and us. If it were not for the Utua Khanate...!" A wry smile shook his head and did not say anything, but Qin Xiao and Han Yunong understood both his meaning.

Without the Utua Khanate controlling the business roads, Datang and the Western Regions are still trading in business, which is good for both parties, and the Treasury of the Datang will not suffer a serious blow due to the interruption of the business roads.
