To Xu Yang and his group, the encounter at the Morality Villa was just a small interlude. After treating the wounds of the injured soldiers, everyone rested at the Morality Villa.
The next morning, after the group ate some dry rations, they left the Morality Manor and headed straight for the capital. However, along the way, there were dozens of prisoners, all of whom were tied up by a rope and followed behind the convoy.
Along the way, they did not encounter any other situations. Two days later, Xu Yang and the others finally arrived in Beijing.
At the gate of the capital, Xu Yang looked up. The ancient and thick city wall was filled with a rich historical atmosphere. There were many traces of war left on the city wall, as if they were telling the chaos of the war. However, the current world might be more chaotic than before.
There were two guards at the city gate, and many commoners were coming in and out. Compared to small places like Guobei County, this was the capital, so it was naturally much more peaceful. However, most of the people who came in and out had numb expressions on their faces, giving people the feeling that they were a little lifeless.
"Catch him!" At this moment, a shout sounded. Immediately, a man holding a large saber rushed out of the city gate with a miserable expression.
Along the way, the commoners fled in fear. Some who did not run fast were slashed to the ground by this man. He was ferocious and arrogant. Behind this man, a few constables holding swords were chasing after him.
The two guards guarding the city gate hurriedly pulled out their weapons and wanted to stop him. However, when they saw the ferocious appearance of this criminal, they actually did not dare to attack. Instead, they hid to the side in fear.
"Humph!" When Zuo Qianhu, who was about to enter the city gate, saw this scene, his expression turned cold. The long saber on his back flew up and he jumped down from his horse. He grabbed the saber and slashed at the murderer.
"Don't block my way!" The murderer's eyes were already red from killing. He was about to escape the city, but someone was actually blocking in front of him. Naturally, his killing intent soared, and the saber in his hand met it.
After exchanging a hundred or eighty moves, Zuo Qianhu waved his long saber and directly beheaded the murderer.
" Greetings, Lord Thousand Households." Although Thousand Households Zuo couldn't be recognized by everyone, the constables and guards naturally recognized his military uniform. Seeing that he had beheaded the criminal, they hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
"Hmph, how do you do your jobs? Seeing the murderer approaching, he actually hid to the side in fear?”Thousand Housekeeper Zuo coldly berated the two guards.
After being scolded by Thousand Households Zuo, the two guards lowered their heads and didn't retort. They looked like dead pigs that weren't afraid of boiling water and didn't retort.
"Hmph!" Seeing the two guards 'expressions, Thousand Housekeeper Zuo coldly snorted. In the end, these guards weren't under his jurisdiction, and he didn't have the right to punish them seriously.
"Who is this criminal? Kill someone on the street and escape?" Chopping off the criminal's head, Zuo Qianhu asked the constables who had just chased after the criminal.
Xu Yang sighed in his heart when he saw the scene in front of him as soon as he arrived in the capital. Even in the capital, there were murderers who killed people on the streets. The guards at the city gate actually did not dare to attack because of the murderers. This world was really cold.
If even the capital was like this, it was not hard to imagine the other places. It was no wonder that Guobei County was so chaotic. Perhaps there were other places that were even more chaotic than Guobei County. This world was indeed a world where people ate each other. They cheated each other, fought openly and secretly, burned, killed, and robbed…
" It seems that what we are going to do is not easy," Zhuge Wolong said to Xu Yang as if he had heard Xu Yang's sigh.
Even the capital was in such a state. It could be said that they had not even entered the capital. This scene made people know how much of a long way to go in the future. What was the capital like? A glimpse of the whole leopard.
Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia, and Autumn Leaf looked at the scene before them. They were more or less emotional, and their feelings were complicated.
"Alright, everyone, let's enter the city! It was all thanks to your escorts on this journey! At that time, I will definitely introduce you to the emperor! Moreover, the emperor is already old. If you really have a pill that can prolong life, the emperor will definitely reward you generously!”After Zuo Qianhu finished speaking, a group of people stepped on the still warm blood at the city gate and entered the city in a majestic manner.
After arranging for Xu Yang and the others to rest, Zuo Qianhu brought the prisoners to the Imperial Palace to hand over the prisoners.
About two hours later, Zuo Qianhu returned and said to Xu Yang and the others," Brother Xu, I've already recommended you to the emperor. The emperor will receive you tomorrow morning."
The next morning, when the morning court session was held, the sky was still dark when Zuo Qianhu brought Xu Yang, who had tidied up his clothes, into the palace.
Although Zhuge Wolong had a great reputation in this world, he was still a person sentenced to life imprisonment, so it was not appropriate for him to enter the palace. If Zhuge Wolong did not enter the palace, Autumn Leaf naturally would not go either.
Yan Chixia, on the other hand, said that he was just a vanguard officer, responsible for charging forward. He did not want to get involved in the matters of the palace. Ning Caichen's presence in the palace was useless. So, until now, only Xu Yang had entered the palace. However, he was the leader of this small team. Naturally, he could represent the others in the palace.
To be honest, although the world was very chaotic now, it was fortunate that the emperor was still diligent and not the kind of muddle-headed emperor. This might be very good news for Xu Yang.
However, although the Emperor was diligent, there were too many villains around him. He could not see Mount Tai with a single leaf. Therefore, he did not know the sufferings of the people. Instead, many villains sang praises and praised the current world as a peaceful and prosperous world in front of the Emperor.
The morning court session dealt with national affairs, so it was naturally not suitable for Xu Yang to enter. Therefore, he only waited outside. After about half an hour, when the sky was bright, a shout came from the hall,"The extraordinary Xu Yang is here for an audience."
Hearing that he had finally been summoned, Xu Yang entered the hall under the guidance of the hall attendant. He looked up and saw that on the high platform above the hall, which represented the supreme throne, the current Emperor was sitting upright. He was wearing a golden dragon robe and was filled with an extremely noble aura. From the looks of it, the Emperor was in his forties and was slightly fat...
