Chapter 51 Imperial Capital Yancheng



Six days later, at noon.

Lin Hao rode the Fire Scale Tiger over a hill and walked on the plain for about an hour. The outline of a city finally appeared in his sight.

Kung Fu Fly flew up into the sky and gazed at the huge city.

There is a wide moat outside the city and the city walls are thick and solid.

There is a checkpoint every ten meters or so. From a distance, the city looks like a huge fortress, impregnable!

This is Lin Hao’s destination, the imperial capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.

On the map, it is marked as "Yancheng".

Looking back, I saw a building built against the mountain a hundred miles behind Yancheng, like an independent small city.

That is where Tianyan Academy is located.

Normally, Tianyan Academy is not open to the public, so the young people who have come to participate in the recruitment examinations in recent times are all waiting in Yancheng for the time being.

"I have a mission to accomplish when I go to Tianyan Academy this time. Would it be too high-profile to bring Xiaohu with me?"

Looking at the red fire-scale tiger, Lin Hao began to think about this problem.

Moreover, this mission is most likely to assassinate someone, so it is better not to expose the existence of Kung Fu Fly and Wolf Spider, so as not to reveal their identities and bring trouble upon themselves.

"It's a pity that the space ring cannot store living things with life fluctuations, otherwise they could be stuffed in."

Lin Hao shook his head secretly and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

It seems that the only way at the moment is to place the fire-scale tigers in the wild and wait for the organization to send mission information before calling them over.

"Ding, the host's pet can be stored in the pet backpack space and can be summoned at any time when needed."

As if detecting Lin Hao's thoughts, the system's prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.

"Pet backpack space!?"

Lin Hao was delighted.

It is really what people need most.

This is undoubtedly much more convenient and more confidential.

"Fire scale tiger, put it into the pet backpack space."

Immediately, Lin Hao tried to give instructions to the system.

The moment the voice fell, the fire-scale tiger beside Lin Hao disappeared out of thin air as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Hao discovered that a pet backpack list suddenly appeared in his mind.

The small grid in the front shows the picture card of the Fire Scale Tiger, with a flashing red light.

Below the picture card is the Fire Scale Tiger's code name 004 and the level of B-class king-level enhancement.

"Summon the Fire Scale Tiger."

Lin Hao's mind moved slightly, the pet picture card disappeared, and the Fire Scale Tiger appeared in front of him instantly.

It stared at Lin Hao in confusion, completely unaware of what had just happened, and felt as if it had just had a nap.

"Yes, very quick."

Lin Hao grinned.

I am very satisfied with the system's storage and pet summoning functions.

"Xiaobai cannot be stored as a pet at the moment. Can he be put in the backpack space?"

Thinking of Xiaobai, this special being, Lin Hao asked curiously.

"Ding, the pet backpack space is limited to pets stored by the host and have completed evolution."

The cold voice of the system dispelled Lin Hao's thoughts.

"Then you can only carry it with you."

Lin Hao spread his hands helplessly.

Xiaobai is a mutant species, and keeping it as a pet will cost 100 million taels.

All his current wealth added up is far from enough.

Then, Lin Hao put the wolf spider and the fire-scale tiger into the pet backpack space.

As for Kung Fu Fly, he kept him.

After all, without shared vision, he would become a blind man groping in the dark.

Moreover, the Kung Fu Fly has a pair of compound eyes that can see objects within almost 360 degrees, especially after evolution, its vision is very clear.

Looking at the little white ape, Lin Hao felt that the rune horn on its head was really eye-catching.

Anyone who knows what's good will be able to tell at once that Xiaobai is a unicorn ape.

With a sudden thought, Lin Hao took out a piece of clothing from the space ring, then tore off a piece of cloth, and strung it together with silver thread to make a simple small hat.

Then it was put on Xiaobai's head, completely covering the horn. From the outside, it looked like a little monkey.

"Yes, it's quite interesting."

Looking at the slightly changed appearance of the little white ape, Lin Hao nodded secretly.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, keeping a low profile is the best way to deal with things.

Then, after walking for about half an hour, Lin Hao arrived outside the city wall.

From a close distance, the city wall is made of granite, is hundreds of feet high, and is majestic and spectacular.

In the corridor at the top of the city wall, there were many sentries patrolling.

They were all wearing armor and carrying swords, with sharp eyes, and it was obvious that they were regular troops.

Yancheng, as the imperial capital, is the economic hub of the entire dynasty, with millions of people moving through it every day.

At this moment, Lin Hao was standing at the end of a long line, following the crowd into the city.

Inside the city gate, Lin Hao found that there were many carriages parked on both sides.

"Come quickly, my car is comfortable and safe, and it is definitely the fastest car in Yancheng!"

"As long as you point east, I won't dare go west. I will definitely follow your command!"

In order to get some business, the horsemen tried their best to shout to the passers-by.

At this moment, a dilapidated carriage suddenly stopped in front of Lin Hao.

The driver was an old and skinny man. He looked at Lin Hao and said with a smile: "Young man, where do you want to go? I'll give you a ride."

It's not easy to drive a sports car at this age.

After a brief pause, Lin Hao nodded and said, "Take me to the best restaurant in the city."

"Okay."

The old coachman grinned and quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage to let Lin Hao get in.

The style of the carriage was rather old, and as it moved, the carriage made a creaking sound.

Lin Hao didn't care. In this war-torn era, it took great efforts for the lower-class people to have enough food to eat.

If he had not been born in the Lin family and had not had systematic assistance, it would have been extremely difficult for him to survive in this world.

The rocking sound of the carriage was soon drowned out by the bustling voices of people on the street as it entered the street.

Lin Hao reached out and pulled aside the curtains, looking at the street scene calmly.

As the imperial capital, Yancheng can be said to be the economic and trade center of the entire dynasty and is extremely prosperous.

As I scanned the street, I saw all kinds of commercial places on both sides of the street, including taverns, clothing stores, weapon shops, brothels, etc.

Moreover, there are a lot of warriors here. At a glance, most of the pedestrians on the street are carrying weapons and have a calm aura.

"cracking--!"

Suddenly, there was a startled sound of a horse neighing.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd walking on the street suddenly dispersed like a tide.

I saw a black horse with red eyes, dragging a luxurious carriage at a gallop.

The sudden situation made the old coachman panic. He had no time to steer his horse away and collided directly with the oncoming carriage.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a heavy voice sounded.

The other horse was obviously stronger than the old driver's white horse. Not only was it not hurt by the collision, but the driver raised his two front legs and kicked the white horse hard to reduce the impact.

“Shhhh!”

The white horse cried out in grief, and fell to the ground with blood spitting out of its mouth. The carriage also shook violently and fell apart completely.

Lin Hao jumped out hurriedly.

He was also frightened by the car accident.

Then he looked at the safe and sound carriage opposite and frowned slightly.

He's running around recklessly on the street, totally disregarding the safety of pedestrians!

"What's going on!"

At this moment, an angry male voice sounded from the luxury carriage.

Then, a young man in brocade clothes came out.

He was holding a prostitute in his arms, and his big hands were kneading her delicate body wantonly.

"Master, our carriage was hit by someone."

The young driver with pockmarked face came over immediately and pointed at the old driver and Lin Hao and the others.

This happened because he made a mistake in operation and the horse went crazy.

Fortunately, the other party was not a noble, but just an ordinary old man.

This is a good opportunity to shift the blame to others.

The old driver obviously knew that he had met a nobleman in the city. He was so scared that his hands were shaking and he dared not speak.

Upon hearing this, the young man in brocade clothes suddenly looked furious.

A lot of people gathered nearby to watch the fun.

However, just when everyone thought that the young man in brocade clothes was going to scold the old driver, he suddenly slapped the young driver in the face!

“Bang!”

The sound was so clear and loud that it made the young driver's cheeks red and swollen.

This situation was almost completely beyond everyone's expectations.

"Master, I..."

The young driver looked at the young man in brocade clothes in astonishment, and was speechless.

"What do you mean by 'you'? You failed in your duty and yet you dare to push the responsibility onto others. Do you think I'm a fool?"

The young man in brocade clothes had a look of anger on his face, and immediately turned his gaze to the old driver.

However, the latter had blood all over his body due to the fall he had just made.

"I'll deduct half a month's salary from you, and make up for the old man with all the money you have."

The young man in brocade clothes said coldly: "If you don't want to do it, get out of the Qin Mansion!"

“Yes… yes.”

Faced with the order from the young man in brocade clothes, the young driver's face changed, and he dared not disobey at all.

He hurriedly took out his purse and handed it to the old driver.

"Qin Fu? So he is General Qin's son, Qin Yu!"

"No wonder. Although he usually lives a disorderly life, he has never bullied others."

"Tsk tsk, look, he picked up another prostitute today. With that sexy body, he must have a blast tonight..."

When the crowd learned the identity of the young man in brocade clothes, they immediately started talking.

Listening to the conversations around him, Lin Hao couldn't help but smile.

I originally thought that this time I would encounter a cliché plot about a noble dandy.

Unexpectedly, this guy is not as bad as imagined.

Not only did he not bully the weak, but he also taught his subordinates a lesson in public.

Now that the matter has been resolved, Lin Hao has no plans to stay here any longer.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Qin Yu suddenly called him.

"Little brother, where do you want to go? If it's on the way, I'll take you there."

Lin Hao said calmly: "No, thank you."

After saying that, Lin Hao walked straight through the crowd and headed towards the end of the street.

In an imperial capital where powerful people are everywhere, he thinks it is better to have as little contact with them as possible.

"What a strange man."

Seeing Lin Hao leaving, Qin Yu was slightly surprised.

In the past, if his identity as the young master of the Qin family was made public, there would be countless people who would come to curry favor with him and establish relationships with him.

However, this guy was indifferent.

"Master Qin, it's getting late, let's go back first~!"

The woman's voice was soft and sweet, and indescribably beautiful to the ear, especially her charming body, which kept rubbing against his arms.

Qin Yu's face suddenly turned pale, and he put his hand on her back, smiling evilly, "You can't hold it back so soon, don't stop me later."

"Hate."

The brothel girl's sweet moan of amorous feelings aroused the excitement of the men watching.

“Haha, let’s go!”

Qin Yu suddenly jumped onto the horse, removed the carriage directly, then dragged the woman up and rode away in a very rude manner.

From the ambiguous conversation between the two just now, it is clear what he wants to do with the woman.

At this time, Lin Hao turned two corners and finally found a restaurant, which was of a relatively high-end scale.

There are about three days left before the Tianyan Academy's admission examination.

The facilities of this restaurant include food and accommodation, so it can be used as a place to stay.

When you walk into the restaurant, you see full tables everywhere. Business is very good.

Obviously, as the day of Tianyan Academy's admission examination approached, a lot of people flocked into the city, causing many restaurants to be in a booming business situation.

"Sir, our restaurant is fully booked today and all the guest rooms are full. Please come back next time."

The waiter came over immediately, looking apologetic.

However, when he saw Lin Hao's gray pupils, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly changed his words: "No, we still have a guest room."

Noticing the waiter's fleeting strange look, Lin Hao was lost in thought.

"Please book a guest room for me first." Lin Hao said calmly.

"good."

The waiter said with a professional smile, "If you don't mind sharing a table with others, we have an empty seat. Please come in."

Then, at the invitation of the waiter, Lin Hao came to the second floor.

But when he saw the person he was going to have dinner with at the same table, Lin Hao's face suddenly became slightly stunned and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

But I saw that the dining table was by the window and seated two people.

In one of the seats, there was a woman in purple, enjoying a piece of top-quality steak.

What surprised Lin Hao was that the woman in purple was his immediate superior, Zi Ye!

"Sir, you still have a seat here. Do you mind sharing the table with someone else?"

The waiter asked with a smile, and although he tried hard to hide it on the surface, there was a hint of awe in his tone.

"It doesn't matter."

Zi Ye had a cold expression on his face and said calmly.

As she spoke, she picked up a glass of red wine and took a sip gracefully.

"Thank you."

The corners of Lin Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and he naturally sat down as if he didn't know the person.

He knew in his heart that the identity of an assassin was just like the spy in his previous life, extremely sensitive, and he had to be cautious in everything he did.

Then, could this waiter also be a member of the Minge organization?

Thinking of this, Lin Hao felt quite confused.

If that was the case, how did they know that I would come to this restaurant and arrange to meet here in advance?
