Chapter 84: First Visit to the Imperial Capital

Golden tiles and white snow, red walls and silver clothes, the sky is full of flying snow in the ancient city, the red walls and black tiles and the eaves and corners covered in silver, all look brand new.

In the courtyard of the city wall, a young man in simple clothes kneels in front of the guqin, his slender white fingers gently pluck the strings, the melody is light and melodious, a incense burner beside the table is emitting light smoke, and in the exquisite and elegant vase, there is a red plum blossom that is as beautiful as fire.

"What's the matter?"

The sound of the guqin stopped, and the young man's clear voice was like a crisp bell ringing in the cold winter, crisp and pleasant.

The person who came was a woman in red, she sighed slightly, took off the cloak on the clothes rack, walked forward, and draped it on the young man's thin shoulders.

"It's freezing cold, wear more clothes."

"No problem." The boy lowered his eyes and tied the knot carefully. The snow-white and fluffy fur on the collar made the skin on his face as warm and smooth as white jade.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the boy coughed softly. His lips, which were already bloodless, turned even paler.

The woman poured a cup of hot tea: "Diyu, be obedient."

Jie Diyu had no choice but to drink the hot tea. The warm tea moistened the corners of his lips, and his lips were lightly pink: "Aunt, I know what's going on."

"I haven't told you yet, why did you come up suddenly?"

How could the woman not see that the boy was trying to change the subject? She knew her child's stubbornness, and there was nothing she could do. She had to follow Jie Diyu's question, sit on the chair, and tell him the purpose of this trip.

"I received news that Lin Yu will be back to the base soon."

"He completed the mission better than others this time."

Xie Diyu blinked and tilted his head: "Why?"

Xie Lanhui looked at the flying snow like goose feathers from afar, and said leisurely: "Not only did he bring back Gu Huan, but he also convinced Gu Bingchen and Jiang Yunqi."

"The strongest psychic in the south?" Xie Diyu asked with interest, "I heard that these two were dissatisfied with the corruption of the internal political power of Meicheng Base, and brought their own team to establish Chuyang Base in Ningcheng."

"Chuyang Base, Chuyang, is it the first ray of sunlight in the morning? It's a nice name."

"It's just rumors." Xie Lanhui was over 30 years old, and as an adult, she had a deeper understanding. To put it bluntly, she had more ulterior motives. While pouring tea, she said, "The current base commander of Chuyang Base is not just these two. The world is vast, and some words, after being passed around, have changed their meaning."

"I know." Xie Diyu smiled, "People who can care about ordinary survivors, I think their character can't be that bad."

Xie Lanhui was surprised and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You want to help them?"

"I can't say I'm helping, but I just think that such an excellent person shouldn't be polluted by the dirty water of the capital." Xie Diyu's almond eyes flashed with a deepness that didn't belong to this age. His fingertips slowly stroked the delicate patterns on the surface of the zither, and his fingertips slid across the slender strings. He stood up and looked at the white snow outside the city wall. He sighed and was blown away by the cold wind.

Xie Lanhui pondered for a while. The cold wind lifted a corner of her flaming red dress. She stood up, straightened her sleeves, and smiled, "Let's go. It's time to go back, otherwise, those troublesome people will come to look for you again."

At the gate of the Imperial Capital Base, Jiang Yunqi suddenly raised his head and looked at the towering city wall. All he could see was a corner of the eaves.

"What's wrong?" Gu Bingchen noticed his gaze and looked up.

Jiang Yunqi shook his head, retracted his gaze, and said softly: "It's okay, maybe I heard it wrong."

Gu Bingchen: "Huh? What did you hear? Yangchun Baixue? Someone is playing the guqin."

"Is that the sound of the guqin?" Jiang Yunqi recalled the faint sound just now, with ups and downs in tone, pleasant to the ears, and indeed like a song, so he asked curiously, "Yangchun Baixue is the name of the song?"

Gu Bingchen nodded: "Yes, it's one of the top ten famous songs. If you don't mind, I will play it for you when I have the chance."

"You can also play this?" A trace of surprise flashed across the inky black phoenix eyes.

"I learned Tongzi Kungfu when I was a child, but I haven't touched the guqin for many years, so I guess I have almost forgotten it." Gu Bingchen pinched Jiang Yunqi's palm, "You haven't told me yet, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Yunqi glanced at the team that looked like a long dragon, tilted his head, and whispered in Gu Bingchen's ear: "Someone, I feel someone is watching us."

Gu Bingchen remained calm and not surprised at all: "That's normal. The people living in the capital are all the current leaders of the base. Lin Yu said that the long queues at the city gate these days are all superpowers from all over the place, which will more or less attract the attention of those in power."

"Guess how many people are watching us in secret now?"

"I don't know the exact number, but there are at least ten people watching us." Jiang Yunqi's eyes darkened, "Some people even tried to use their mental power to probe."

But those people were quite cautious, and they withdrew all their mental power a second before he noticed.

"The Imperial Capital is full of talents, so we must be careful." Gu Bingchen rubbed the dagger hanging on his waist with his fingertips, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Huh! I've been looking for you for most of the day!"

After more than half an hour, the team barely moved a few meters. Lin Yu ran over through the crowd and said breathlessly: "Come on, you don't have to line up here, go to the other side to register."

Lin Yu took the lead and led them to the side door. Unlike the bustling main gate of the base, the side door was deserted. There was only a green-haired young man at the registration desk, who was drowsy with his head propped up.

"Afu! It's time to work!"

Lin Yu strode forward, bent his fingers and knocked on the glass door.

The green-haired young man was startled, covering his chest, and his sleepiness disappeared. He was about to curse, but when he looked up, it was an old acquaintance: "It's you, Brother Lin, I thought some blind person came to scare me."

"Why, are you on duty today?" Lin Yu handed over a cigarette.

Fu Qingfei opened a small hole in the glass window, took the cigarette naturally, lit it with a lighter skillfully, exhaled a puff of smoke, and slumped in the chair: "You don't come here for no reason, tell me, what do you want to see me about?"

"Of course it's to register." Lin Yu turned his head, winked at Gu Bingchen, and called them over.

"Didn't I go out on a mission a while ago and bring back a few superpowers."

"Why don't you just go to the front door to register? Why come to my place?" Fu Qingfei raised his chin slightly, with a little impatience between his eyebrows.

Lin Yu: "How can it be the same? I'm here to participate in the Superpower Exchange Association."

"Huh? Is that true? I remember it was closed in the morning." Fu Qingfei became interested, put out the cigarette butt, and straightened his back slightly.

"Did I lie to you?" Lin Yu scratched Ling's messy hair and said, "We just arrived at noon and I went in to hand over the task first. I forgot to tell them that they could come to the side door to register, so they lined up outside the door. You know that the front door is full of people. When I remembered to look for people, it was almost dark."

"That's why I brought them to you."

"Ah Fu, don't blame me for not telling you. Do you know who these people are?"

Lin Yu poked his head in half, and his mysterious and asking for a beating look successfully aroused Fu Qingfei's curiosity.

"Don't play this on me, tell me quickly, it's time to get off work."

"The man with glasses is the famous Gu Bingchen, and the one with long hair is Jiang Yunqi."

"As for the others, they are all members of their team."

"The woman with short hair and a veil on her face, did you see that? It's Gu Huan, Ms. Gu, who was personally assigned to me by the higher-ups to escort."

Fu Qingfei was so frightened that she almost fell off the chair. She lay on the table, looking outside frequently, and said in a low voice: "Is this true? You are not lying to me, are you?"

Lin Yu said unhappily: "Why would I lie to you? I'm so free."

"Hurry up, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"If you had told me earlier, I would have finished it earlier, okay?" Fu Qingfei rolled her eyes, then unlocked the door of the boarding booth, poked out a green head, and smiled sincerely, "Mr. Gu, right? Come on, come in and talk, it's so cold outside, it's warm inside."

Gu Bingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Lin Yu, and smiled politely on his handsome face: "Thank you, thank you for your help."

Fu Qingfei said "Hi" as if he was familiar with her, and waved his hand: "No trouble, we are all family, what's the trouble, don't be polite to me."

"I'll turn on the computer. Registration won't take a few minutes." He bent down and turned on the host. Within a few seconds of the computer starting up, he called Lin Yu again. "Tsk, what are you doing standing there? Pour some water, you idiot!"

Lin Yu was speechless. After closing the door, he skillfully took the cup to get water.

"I'll just ask a few questions."

Fu Qingfei made a form, and the questions were all asked in all bases.

When he found out that the oldest person in this gang was only 35, he was dumbfounded.

"No, did you take some kind of face-lifting technique? 35? You look more like a college student. Do you look so young?" He widened his eyes and his gaze stayed on Xie Er's face for a long time.

Xie Er smiled gently and didn't care about Fu Qingfei's offensive behavior.

"Frog fun? All his fathers are superpowers, you guys are awesome." Fu Qingfei gave a thumbs up in admiration, put away the form, stood up and walked inside, and took out a high-tech metal instrument from the cabinet, "This thing can not only test your level, but also check whether you are infected with the zombie virus. It's very simple to use, just stand on it, don't be nervous."

Xie Er and Gu Hua tilted their heads and looked at the instrument carefully. It looked very similar to the scanner at the Chuyang base.

The machine beeped one after another, and the indicator light was shining with colorful lights.

When it was Gu Bingchen, Jiang Yunqi and the other two's turn, they all deliberately suppressed their mental power levels within an appropriate range.

Even so, Fu Qingfei was still extremely surprised.

He thought that no matter how powerful this group of people were, they were only A-level. There were also hundreds of A-level psychics in the base, so it was not that surprising.

But he didn't expect that there would be an S-level psychic. You know, even in the Imperial Capital base, which was full of masters, there were only five S-level psychics, and those five were all in high positions and had a great reputation in the political arena, the military, and the psychic team. They are

worthy of being the strongest psychic team in the south. Not only are there four S-level psychics, but even the lowest-level handsome boy is C-level. The

green-haired young man was amazed.

Jiang Yunqi pinched his eyebrows. He was careless. He didn't expect that the level division in Imperial Capital was different from that in the south. The mental power they deliberately suppressed to A-level was actually displayed as S-level here.

Fu Qingfei's admiring eyes were too hot, he praised repeatedly, and put all the badges of various colors on the instrument and read them: "My Lords, this is the pass to enter and exit the Imperial Capital Base. The highest level is the golden S-level."

This slightly childish title sounded a bit embarrassing to Tang Yichao. He took the purple badge of A-level and pinned it on his left chest.

When Gu Bingchen and his party really stepped into the Imperial Capital Base, it was already completely dark.
