Chapter 261

At noon on March 18, the 13th year of Yuanping, a spring rain fell on the capital of the Han Empire, shrouding the heavy capital with a thousand years of history in a hazy rain and fog.

In this slightly chilly spring rain, Yan Liqiang and his party finally came to the capital of the Han Empire.

"Is this Dijing?" In the raging spring rain, Yan Liqiang, who was wrapped in a poncho, looked at the tall city wall like a giant beast in the distance. He couldn't help turning his head and asked Hu Haihe next to him.

"Guard Yan, this is the imperial capital. Go straight along this road. In front of us is the Xihua gate of the imperial capital. In the west of the imperial capital, there are three city gates, and Xihua gate is only one of them..." Hu Haihe's voice also carries a sense of fatigue and sadness. When talking, Yan Liqiang saw Hu Haihe's hand and couldn't help touching a bag hanging on his mount, Inside the bag is the ashes of brother Hu Haihe.

Yan Liqiang just nodded and didn't speak any more. He just gently clamped the horse's belly to let the rhinoceros dragon horse keep up with the team. At the same time, he also pressed back the head exposed from the poncho.

The battle with Heifeng bandits that day seemed to be yesterday, but the people who died for that battle could never come back. The people who died in that battle and wanted to protect did not finally walk into the imperial capital alive, which made Yan Liqiang doubt the significance of the way from leaving Pingxi city.

The whole team seemed a little dull. Sun Bingchen put away all the guards of honor and didn't fight them out. Everyone rode on their horses in the rain.

……

What happened in Huizhou City was so noisy that it was delayed for several days. Finally, the local government came and did a busy job. Finally, after other guard teams arrived in Huizhou City, Yan Liqiang and sun Bingchen joined the team coming back to Dijing.

But ye Tiancheng was no longer in the team.

Sun Bingchen's back looks bleak in the drizzle, but it is still tall and stubborn. Yan Lijiang looks at sun Bingchen's back and can probably guess sun Bingchen's feeling at the moment.

A close courtier and a criminal courtier who was about to be escorted to the imperial capital died inexplicably in Huizhou City. Naturally, the murderer would be wanted, but sun Bingchen, who was involved in this matter, might also have a lot of trouble. If someone wanted to find fault, sun Bingchen left the escort team to Huizhou City with the court felon Ye Tiancheng in disguise, Failure to provide adequate protection for ye Tiancheng is one of the causes of Ye Tiancheng's death. If you really want to investigate, sun Bingchen will inevitably be implicated.

As sun Bingchen's bodyguard, he was also responsible for failing to protect Ye Tiancheng.

Yan Liqiang muttered in his heart that he had figured out these things on his way here. Yan Liqiang didn't care about the responsibility, because anyway, he was alone and had no interest disputes in Dijing. So far, his official identity hasn't come down. He can't get anything, so he doesn't mind losing it.

But there is another thing that makes Yan Liqiang feel a little tangled - where does the silver needle on Ye Tiancheng come from?

Yan Liqiang found two long silver needles on Ye Tiancheng's body. At the time of discovery, the two silver needles were also stabbed on the two large acupoints of Ye Tiancheng's body. Ye Tiancheng was using the two silver needles to open the meridians and acupoints and wanted to regain his freedom.

He has never given Ye Tiancheng a silver needle, and it is even more impossible for Liang Yijie and sun Bingchen. Then, the silver needle on Ye Tiancheng can only be given to Ye Tiancheng by someone who can contact Ye Tiancheng in this team. Before sun Bingchen separated with Ye Tiancheng and the guard team, there were at least twenty or thirty guards who could contact Ye Tiancheng. Therefore, it was obvious that someone in the guard team could not withstand Ye Tiancheng's temptation and quietly gave Ye Tiancheng the silver needle.

With Ye Tiancheng's eloquence and deceit, I'm afraid it's not difficult for an ordinary guard in the team to promise to exchange benefits with him.

In the face of this matter, sun Bingchen's handling is very thought-provoking. He asked Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie not to make any more claims, nor to tell other guards in the team about it. Because ye Tiancheng is dead, he is ready to let it go.

Yan Liqiang slightly understood sun Bingchen's intention, because if this matter spread among the team, then the friendship accumulated by the rest of the team after the disaster will collapse in the blink of an eye. Because it is difficult to find the person, the final result is that all people doubt each other, No more trust.

This may be the warmest decision sun Bingchen made along the way.

……

The party came to the Xihua gate of the imperial capital. Yan Liqiang looked at the more than 30 Zhang high wall and tower. After sun Bingchen revealed his identity, the party rode smoothly into the city.

Needless to say, the prosperity of Dijing is just that Yan Liqiang's curiosity about the city has gradually dispersed after he really came to the city. The more cities he travels, the more Yan Liqiang understands that the characteristics of a city are actually determined by the people here. The reason why Dijing is an imperial capital is not because of how beautiful the city is, but because it is the power center of this great empire. The most powerful people of this empire basically live in this city, so, The city has become different. In other words, this city is crouching tiger, hidden dragon. What really deserves our attention is the people here.

Soon after they entered the city, they separated. Hu Haihe and other escorts went directly to the Yamen of Mabu company to report. They returned to the team after completing the task. From then on, they had no direct relationship with sun Bingchen unless they were sent to sun Bingchen to perform any task again. Sun Bingchen returned to his residence in Dijing directly with Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie. Sun Bingchen's home in Dijing is another place called Chema lane. The house is small, but it is still clean and tidy. From the appearance, that is, the middle and upper house looks like a rich family. When the three people stopped and Liang Yijie jumped down from the rhinoceros dragon to knock on the door, Yan Liqiang knew that sun Bingchen lived in this place“ The house is just a place to live. A person can't stand an inch or lie seven feet. Therefore, the house doesn't need to be too big or strive to be gorgeous. Just live enough... "It seems that he saw the doubt in Yan Liqiang's eyes. Sun Bingchen patiently explained it to Yan Liqiang." Li Qiang has been taught! " Sun Bingchen's words, Yan Liqiang nodded even if he didn't agree with them all. Liang Yi beat the door a few times, and the door opened. An old servant with an umbrella showed half his face from the crack of the open door. When he saw Liang Yijie and sun Bingchen outside the door, his face finally showed a surprise, "ah, sir, you're back..." this novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation.
