Chapter 179 The Imperial Capital

The Great Chen Dynasty, the imperial capital Luoyang.

In the early morning, a small courtyard in Zhengpingfang creaked softly, and the gate of the courtyard opened. Yang Chu walked out slowly in a black robe that was the same as most people at this time.

After entering the power center of Chen Chao at this time, his hair had activated his spiritual energy to deliberately reach the long hair of most men. He casually put on his hair bun, combined with his new clothes, and the sense of alienation that he gave people unconsciously was quite stylish.

After stepping out of the door, Yang Chu walked towards the gradually bustling and noisy street outside.

After arriving in Luoyang, Yang Chu carefully observed this city under the sky in the night, which should be considered a few huge cities at this time, but he could not see any clues.

Although there seem to be many monsters and even some wandering ghosts in this city, most of them cannot become a climate.

The humanitarian changes in this world are quite strange.

Yang Chu couldn't find a specific idea for a moment, so he simply hid his path and did not go to explore the reasons for it with great fanfare. Instead, he quietly changed his identity and found a place to live in one of the markets in the city.

With his current spiritual cultivation, he changed his appearance, obtained money, and forged his identity, these are just trivial things that he did casually and did not require much brains.

"Brother Yang, it's early to get up today."

On the street outside the door, a man who was about forty years old and looked quite talented by, saw Yang Chu go out, paused and said hello.

"Since I've come to the imperial capital, I can't help but want to take a look."

Yang Chu smiled casually, then looked at the handsome man who said hello and asked, "Master Xu Fang, where is this?"

"Last night I heard someone gossiping, saying that another old man in the yard had passed away and was about to help with cooking." The ingenious man replied casually, and nodded to Yang Chu, "Brother Yang, it is not a big deal to visit the city. But the various yards and people in the city are hard to tell, be careful. In addition, if you come back early in the evening, otherwise the gate of the yard would not open, and you would be easily caught by the military inspectors who were patrolling the streets."

"Thank you, the lord."

Yang Chu smiled and nodded at the fierce man surnamed Xu, and thanked him.

The other party is the owner of Zhengpingfang where he lives now. It sounds a bit similar to the role of a village chief or a street committee. It has a lot of power, but its identity is almost like a traitor and clerk.

He has probably learned a little about the history of this world in the past few days.

It is a bit different from the historical pattern he knows from the previous martial arts world.

It was roughly the case that it was during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was another change.

Among them, the new dynasty lasted for more than 50 years, and then it collapsed. After that, several other dynasties emerged, and there were also situations in troubled times.

After hundreds of years, the specific timeline of his current Chen Dynasty was probably in the middle or late Tang Dynasty.

The imperial capital Luoyang has changed several times. Although it is different from the history that Yang Chu knows, the urban architectural pattern is similar.

The streets in the city are crisscrossed and the Lifang is adjacent. Each arch is separated by streets. Each arch has a wall and a arch gate, which opens at night.

What Yang Chu saw in the past two days is naturally countless times more prosperous than the county seats that he saw.

Moreover, there seems to be no depression among the various markets, but it is quite lively.

It seems that because of the unstable place in recent years, a large number of wealthy families have poured into Luoyang, which has made the imperial capital more prosperous.

"The state of everyone in this imperial capital of the Chen Dynasty is not as chaotic as other places, and they have always been in a state similar to anxiety and chaos."

Yang Chu came out of Zhengpingfang's residence and walked along the street. He casually picked a breakfast shop on the way and bought some food.

His expression was calm and leisurely, but his eyes kept sweeping across the crowd.

This capital, which is known as an ancient giant city, all its living conditions seem to be closer to the ones he cognitively.

Most people are busy with life, and all kinds of orders are still in place. The entire Chen Dynasty's official system also operates smoothly in this imperial capital.

From time to time, you can see some high-ranking officials' carriages, sedan chairs, or sergeants patrolling the streets, hawkers walking in a hurry, and merchants selling in the store. Everything looks very normal.

Some of the restaurants talked about changes in the official positions in the court, or where the chaos happened, and whose son fought with whom. All of them were extremely common.

Yang Chu even explored the Luoyang City in detail on the night two days ago.

The soldiers who patrol the city at night, as well as some ghosts and demons that occasionally pop up from somewhere, and most markets are quite common.

There seems to be nothing unusual in some villages, towns and county seats outside Luoyang City. Whether it is farming or trafficking of goods, it seems that they are operating around this Luoyang City.

With a quick glance, it was almost impossible to detect any strange things in it.

But the more this happens, Yang Chu feels that there is something strange about it.

He came out of Bai Yao Mountain and then went to two places, Linguo County and Yunguo County. He also passed by other counties and towns on the way. It can be seen that other places seem to be in a stage of chaos and degradation of people's hearts.

But in the imperial capital, everything seemed to be in order, and most people living in this city were safe and orderly.

Even if you see some dark sides, kidnappers, bandits, gangsters, and children of high-ranking officials fighting, it seems that they are all big cities, especially when the imperial capital is located, which will normally happen.

By comparison, the weirdness revealed here is more and more.

The people in the city seem to be less concerned about the changes outside, or there seems to be some kind of power that makes the people in the imperial capital not care about other things.

This is not only the case of promoting the common people, but even those officials seem to be the same. It seems that as long as there is no rebellion in the counties outside, they can still provide money, grain, taxes and taxes as much as possible, and nothing seems to have happened.

Everyone seemed to be walking in a certain rhythm, and they were unaware of the situation where Chen Chao was gradually decaying and the building was about to collapse.

"I haven't seen any monks and Taoists in this city."

Yang Chu wandered around Luoyang City and seemed to have discovered a problem.

That is, he hardly saw any monks and Taoists. There were temples in the city, but no one went to burn incense.

Even the largest White Horse Temple in the city is deserted and can't see anyone.

But the people passing by ignored these things, as if they thought it was very normal.

Yang Chu also asked someone to interrogate on the road, but what these people said was mostly reported in the palace a few years ago that His Majesty did not like monks, Taoists and witches, and all of them were banned and sealed.

But if you want to continue asking more questions, these people seemed to have lost their memory. After a few perfunctory words, they couldn't ask more.

"It seems that we still have to go to the palace to have a look."

Yang Chu wandered around the city for a long time, occasionally using his psychic energy to open his right eye to observe the movements and stills in the city, but there was nothing strange about it when he saw it.

His right eye can see the trajectory of many energy circulation, but in this building, he seems to not notice too many abnormalities.

However, there is another place that Yang Chu has not visited after entering the city a few days ago, that is the palace where the power center of the Chen Dynasty is located.

He had seen a visit to the ministers before, but he did not approach at that time, but just watched from afar.

But from what he has seen so far, he is almost certain that the problem here is likely to appear in the imperial city.

"If this is also a magical power, it is a power system that I have never touched."

This awkward feeling made Yang Chu very curious and wanted to reveal the answer as soon as possible, but he was also a little wary.

Similar to a large group changing the state of human life and mind here, without any trace or trace, the feeling is really subtle.

Yang Chu was sure that most people almost couldn't detect something wrong, and it seemed that in their consciousness, everything should be like this.

But Yang Chu was able to see that everyone he met looked normal, but in the deepest part of it, it was different.

Yang Chu walked along the streets in Luoyang City, from Zhengpingfang in the south to the west of the north city, preparing to see how the palace in this city is different.

He seemed to walk unfastly, but often, when the crowd around him did not pay attention, he had taken several feet apart in one step, and the speed was actually incredibly fast.

If it weren't for his intentional appearance, it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to notice his arrival and departure.

"Oh, someone fell into the water."

When I arrived at Wan'an Bridge on the banks of Luoshui River separated by the north and south cities, I suddenly heard a call for a request.

Yang Chu looked down from the bridge and saw a woman washing silk and washing clothes on the edge of the water. She seemed to have fallen into the Luoshui next to her.

Several women walking with each other on the shore looked quite frightened and shouted loudly to the left and right.

But there were many people stopping around to watch, but there were almost no one who actually acted.

Luoshui looks quite clear, but the water is still deep. If ordinary people don’t know how to water, they basically jump down and seek death.

Yang Chu actually didn't pay much attention to such a thing, but since he encountered it, he didn't hesitate too much.

A man turned over and walked quickly down the Wan'an Bridge, found a white veil washed by those women. He raised his hand and swung it, and wrapped the woman in the water and pulled it to the shore.

His move was quite casual and he had never used his spiritual energy. He was just an ordinary means of exerting strength. But in the eyes of others, the stretching hand he showed was enough to shock.

There are many people from the martial arts world in Luoyang City.

Although Yang Chu had never seen any monks in the city, there were quite a few soldiers or martial artists who were good at martial arts.

However, on the Luoshui shore, many onlookers quickly dispersed after the woman was pulled and rescued by Yang Chu.

"So...thank you, this young man!"

After the woman was pulled ashore by Yang Chu, she seemed to be suffering from coldness, her teeth trembled, and her face was pale, but she still tried hard to salute Yang Chu.

Yang Chu waved his hand gently, glanced at the wet drops of water on the woman's body, and suddenly his brows frowned slightly.

"I dare to ask where the young master lives, the little woman will definitely ask her family to come to thank her." The woman who was pulled up by Yang Chu seemed to notice Yang Chu's gaze and said in a low voice.

Several laundry laundry women who were surrounded by this woman were putting on the woman who fell into the water and laughed out loud.

It can be seen that the Chen Dynasty's atmosphere is quite open-minded, and the woman seems to be more bold.

Yang Chu did not take the expressions of these women to heart, but at this moment, his right eye of spiritual energy captured the thing he had been looking for from the woman who fell into the water.

Ignoring the women standing aside, Yang Chu slowly walked to the shore of Luoshui, stretched out his fingers to gently stain a little water in Luoshui, and then stood there silently.
