"Come on, you're just so gullible."

"Are you gullible enough to believe that I have a sense of self-discipline? Why, you can't trust me so much?"

"Well, I really can't trust you on this kind of thing."

"But now that the matter is settled, if we don't change it, won't it prove that we can't trust Liu Bai? In this way, people will have grudges against us even if they don't have any bad intentions. I think it's better to leave it like this for the time being and wait for an opportunity in the future.

"

"Well, that's all I have to do. I was blind back then, so why did I fall in love with you? Now I worry so much about you."

"Do you regret it now? It's too late. Just accept your fate now."

Dong Yan immediately hit Luo Tianbao angrily when he heard this. However, it was finally decided that Liu Bai would follow the others, so the group set off at noon that day and continued on their way. At first, Dong Yan, Ding Xie and others kept a close watch

They monitored Liu Bai for fear that he would be detrimental to everyone, but after a few days, they found nothing unusual. On the contrary, because Liu Bai was humorous and well-spoken, he soon became familiar with Wen Kai and the Shu sisters. These people even began to regard him as a

My friend, in the end, even Dong Yan privately admitted to Luo Tianbao that Liu Bai either really had no evil intentions towards everyone, or that the city was so deep that people were scared. Luo Tianbao laughed it off without commenting.

However, except for Liu Bai's episode, everyone really didn't encounter any twists and turns along the way. After entering the territory controlled by the government and army, everyone felt more at ease. Every time they went to the yamen, they would send someone to receive them, and the people staying there were also government officials.

Although the inn is somewhat restrictive, safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Luo Tianbao couldn't help but feel complicated as he was getting closer and closer to the capital. On the one hand, it had been almost three years since he left the capital. Sometimes he really missed the place where he grew up, although no matter what he had said before from his adoptive parents,

, even now, from the perspective of his biological parents, he is not an authentic Beijing person, but he has indeed spent most of his life here. There are too many memories that he can't let go of, and now he is about to leave.

Of course it would be a bit exciting to revisit him.

But on the other hand, Luo Tianbao is also a little worried. Since entering the Gyeonggi area, he has discovered that years of war have severely damaged the area. Many places have become beyond recognition. Some villages and towns have even been completely abandoned, leaving only groups of people roaming around.

With beasts and bones everywhere, Luo Tianbao couldn't believe that the capital, which had changed hands several times between the army and the rebels, still retained the appearance he remembered.

It was here that the group of people finally arrived at the capital in an uneasy mood. The towering tower still maintained its former majesty, but the mottled damage on it reminded people of what it had just experienced.

As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see the world-famous Qinglong Street. From here, walk straight west and you can go directly to the palace. There are four such streets in the capital, all paved with high-quality stones. Ten carriages can travel side by side.

Carrying the sycamore tree, people came and went here every day in its heyday, and it was extremely prosperous. From here, it can also reflect the glory of the empire in its heyday. However, there are still many pedestrians walking on the street today, but it is no longer the same as before.

Full of energy.

Luo Tianbao carefully paid attention to the buildings on both sides. The overall structure finally retained the appearance in his memory, but the signs of damage were still obvious. People were working on repairs. Luo Tianbao was even more surprised when he arrived at the south gate of the palace.

, the originally magnificent palace gate was still erected outside, and workers were working hard to repair it. According to the officials who received everyone, the Dayou Army once planned to burn down the entire palace before they were defeated and fled the capital, and they refused to leave it to the officials.

Fortunately, they retreated too quickly and did not have time to set fire to the system. In addition, the people in the city put out the fire in time, so the palace was preserved. However, it was inevitable that it still suffered some damage. For this reason, the emperor now had to set up his camp in Beijing.

Chengtian County in the suburbs was waiting for the restoration of the imperial palace to be completed before the capital was officially returned.

Finally, everyone was arranged to live in the Concierge Hall of Honglu Temple. This was originally a place used by the imperial court to receive foreign dignitaries and envoys. Now, because many places in the capital were damaged, it was temporarily used to receive passing senior officials. Liu

It was the first time for Bai, Wen Kai and others to come to the capital, and they were just amazed at the magnificence here, but Luo Tianbao felt more emotional than everyone else.

"What's wrong with you? You looked like you were about to cry ever since you walked in." Dong Yan couldn't help but ask when she saw this.

"You don't understand, the princes and nobles who lived here used to live here, and the common people could not even come in, they could just run around at the door. When we were children, we could only look across the street from a long distance away. Who would have thought that I would be like this in my lifetime?"

You can actually live here."

"Look at your little potential, do you still think that you are the young bodyguard you were back then? Now you are the young commander of the rebel army and a prince. After you have met the emperor in person and formally accepted the canonization, you are also an official official of the imperial court.

The princes and nobles may have to leave their names in the history books in the future. Isn’t it natural for them to live here?”

"Having said that, you don't understand what it feels like. I went back three years and never dreamed that I would be where I am today."

"This is what makes life unpredictable."

Everyone sighed for a while and then went to their rooms to settle down and salute. Wen Kai was young and energetic. He rarely came to the capital once. Everything he saw was new. After lunch, he wanted to go out for a walk. Luo Tianbao hadn't been back for three years and wanted to

Wanting to revisit their hometown, they went to Zhang Shaolan and others to discuss it. After everyone discussed it, they would only leave for Chengtian tomorrow. It didn’t matter if Luo Tianbao and the others went out for a walk. However, their identities were special after all. In the end, the official still let Li Chengen take the two

A guard and a local official accompanied Luo Tianbao and others.

As soon as they heard that they were going to visit the Shu sisters in the capital, Liu Bai and others also became interested. In the end, they gathered a dozen people. Only Dong Yan said that she was tired from the journey and wanted to stay in the guest house to rest. Zhang Hao was busy preparing for the audience.

I never followed him.

Originally, the official plan for this trip was to arrange for the accompanying local official to be the tour guide, but it turned out that the other party found that Luo Tianbao was even more familiar with the capital than he was.

"Have you ever stayed in the capital before?" The other party finally couldn't help but asked curiously. Because Luo Tianbao and his son have not accepted the canonization yet, the officials in the imperial court generally do not call him "Young Marshal" or "March Sima".

"Not only have I stayed there, I grew up here. I used to live in the Yunda Escort Agency in Shouanli, Nancheng." Luo Tianbao couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"Really? Zhuo Jing's natal family is also in Shouanli. I often went there when I was young. I remember that there is Tianhelou next door to Yunda Escort Agency. The fish dumplings there are really good."

"That's right, that's right, especially eating it with shrimp paste is a must-have." Luo Tianbao suddenly became interested when talking about these things, and immediately started chatting with the accompanying officials.

Only then did Luo Tianbao learn that the other party's surname was Cui. He was from Qinghe County in the north of Beijing, but he came to the capital very early due to work. He has lived there for nearly thirty years now and is considered half a local. The rebels captured the capital.
