A Student Entering the Capital, A Head-on Strike
Lieyang City.
The capital of the Qianyuan Empire.
It was rumored that in ancient times, there were nine scorching suns shining across the sky. Immortals descended grace, and dragon veins were born here.
There were many outstanding people.
Hence, it was named the Scorching Sun.
The dynasties changed, and the capital was always here.
The city walls were towering, the market was noisy, singing and dancing were peaceful, and the crowd was bustling.
What a splendid scene!
However, it was a stark contrast to the farmers on the border who were exposed to the wind and sun and did not have enough to eat.
The day of the imperial examination, which is held once every three years, is approaching,
To select the next generation of fresh management blood for Dynasty.
Students from all over the world and sects came from all directions.
It was all for the sake of getting promoted to the management class and bringing honor to his ancestors.
The already bustling city,
At this moment, because of the large number of foreign scholars entering, it added a bit of literary elegance.
"Sister Long, look, this is the capital of Qianyuan, the scorching sun!”
And outside the city walls,
A young scholar stood at the same spot, quietly overlooking the majestic and prosperous city.
He muttered to himself in a strange manner.
He was handsome and had an outstanding temperament, which was particularly eye-catching.
Bai Yu looked at the capital city and couldn't help but say to Long Zhi.
He wasn't very old, only sixteen years old.
Even though he was intelligent, he had never left his hometown.
This was the first time he had seen such a bustling ancient capital, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Towering and majestic,
This was a completely different feeling from the modern city of steel.
At the same time,
A small snakehead also poked its head out from his clothes.
The vertical pupil looked into the distance with some curiosity.
"Young Master, this place is extraordinary!"
It was definitely extraordinary!
In the capital of a dynasty, where the Son of Heaven and the Emperor lived,
How ordinary?
"Haha, let's go!" Bai Yu laughed.”
……
"Report the name of the person who came. Why did you enter the city?”
At the city gate stood two armored soldiers holding weapons.
Check the people who come and go,
"I am Yang Yi, a scholar. I have come to the capital for the examination.”
A scholar in a plain robe cupped his hands at the other party.
"Scholar? Another village scholar!"
"Hey, the transportation fee is 12 copper coins.”
However, the two soldiers glanced at him disdainfully, sneered, and stretched out their hands.
"12 coins?"
"According to the Qianyuan Law, anyone who enters the capital only needs to pay 6 wen! Why did you raise the price?"
However, the scholar was stunned.
She could not help but ask stubbornly.
However, the two soldiers did not even bother to explain.
He only said indifferently,"Alright, now you want 20 coins!"”
"Are you going in or not?"
"You can't help but get lost. Don't block the future generations.”
Nose looked at him, his tone was rather impolite.
"You!"
" At the foot of the emperor, at the entrance of the palace!"
"How can you raise the price and disregard the law?!”
The scholar was so angry that his eyes turned round. He could not help but point at his nose and curse.
"Now you want 30 coins!"
"If you don't want to enter, then get lost!"
The soldier yawned and said indifferently.
"You!"
"I'm going to the government to sue you!”
The scholar shouted at the two of them anxiously.
The two of them shrugged and waved the weapons in their hands. They said indifferently,"Whatever, you can go! But if you don't pay the transportation fee, you can't enter the city!”
"Now you want 40 coins!"
" Ah?!!"
"How can this be…"
Seeing that the other party was unmoved,
The anxious scholar was also helpless.
His body was weak, so he naturally couldn't compare to the two powerful soldiers holding swords.
There's no other way,
The heavens do not respond, the earth does not have a door,
If they didn't pay, they probably wouldn't be able to enter the city gate.
Getting stuck in the imperial examination here was too unbearable for him.
" My two masters, I don't have much property and I really don't have much money left. Could you please let me in…"
His waist softened, and his tone was no longer as stern as before.
He leaned toward the other party and begged.
"Now you want 50 coins!"
The soldier chuckled.
She glanced at him with an inexplicable look in her eyes and said indifferently.
"Ah…this!"
" How can this be?!"
" How can this be?!"
"Soldier, can you make an exception, can you make an exception…"
"Now you want to…"
"I have it, I have it! I'll pay, I'll pay!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to raise the price again,
The scholar hurriedly waved his hand and begged. Trembling, he took out a few coins from his luggage and handed them to the other party.
The two soldiers counted some money.
Glancing at him, she put the rest of the money into her pocket.""Alright, let's go in."
"Yes, sir!"
The scholar walked into the bustling city in a daze.
I don't know why,
He felt that the world here was a little different from what he had expected.
"Report the name of the person who came. Why did you enter the city?”
"I am Liu Xide, a merchant.”
" Merchant, the toll is 20."
"Yes, sir, keep it well!"
Compared to the previous soldier,
The next merchant was very tactful.
Smiling charmingly, she accepted the unfair toll and took out some money.
She handed it over to the two soldiers with a smile.
"Alright, let's go in!"
The two soldiers waved their hands casually, and the merchant quickly entered the city.
And this scene…
Bai Yu, who was not far behind, saw everything.
" Tsk, Beijing. You've given me a head-on blow right from the start!"
