After traveling through mountains and rivers, passing through towns after town, the team traveled through the land of Qingguo for more than ten days, and it was getting closer and closer to Shangjing. Although it worked hard along the way, there were no sudden incidents. The trip after entering the pass was extremely smooth.

Since entering the pass, Yun Canglan has issued an order with a carrier pigeon. All the Purple-in-laws lurking everywhere are concentrated on the roads where the team passes. They can find out the situation along the way in advance and find out whether there are suspicious forces. That is to let the Purple-in-laws take the lead in cleaning up the obstacles along the way.

After all, the Purple-Yiwei is a powerful dark yamen in Qing State. It is as famous as the Black Flag of Wei State and the Flower Hall of Yan State. Its work efficiency is not low. The marriage team is moving forward smoothly. There are naturally officials from all over the country to receive and settle down along the way, serving diligently, but no one is close to the carriage where the princess is located.

On the 13th day of entering the pass, in the afternoon, the team finally looked at the magnificent Shangjing City in the sky from afar, like a huge beast, quietly lying on the earth.

Just like a huge shadow, looking into the capital, it is solemn and magnificent, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Before he got close, Han Mo intuitively felt that Shangjing City was much larger than Yanjing City.

Originally, after a hundred years of renovation and expansion, Yanjing City has become a rare big city in the world. The four major urban areas in Yanjing City accommodate hundreds of thousands of officials and people.

But at this moment when Shangjing City appeared in front of him, Han Mo understood what the real world's number one city is, and even more so why the people of Qing always have a sense of pride that they think they are orthodox.

Shangjing City has been going through hundreds of years of storms, full of vicissitudes and a profound sense of history.

Han Mo knew very well that when the former dynasty of Qi, the Shangjing City was the capital of Qi. It took more than two hundred years. After that, the Li family of Qing State seized the country of Qi, and the Shangjing City became the capital of Qing State.

Shangjing City is also the largest city with the largest number of city gates among all the cities in the world. One gate is opened on each side, with two side gates on the left and right, and a total of twelve city gates.

This also shows the grandeur of this Qingdu from the side.

Shangjing City is based on the south gate as the main gate, and the main gates on all sides are built with protruding gates and tall towers, which greatly enhances the defense of the city gate.

In addition, there is a natural Danshui River to the north of Shangjing City and a Xinshui River, a tributary of Danshui River to the west. These two large rivers have become natural moats on both sides of Shangjing City.

In addition, the Qing people have successively dug two artificial moats, Dagou and Outougou, on the east and south of the main gate. Large bridges have been built on the river. The entire Shangjing City is surrounded by water and is located in it. The Qing people have long spoken out, threatening that Shangjing City is the most easy to defend and difficult to attack today. Although it is a bit exaggerated, its strong defense is an indisputable fact.

The team was approaching the capital, but suddenly heard drum music suddenly sounding in front of them. Although they were still a distance, the drum music was heard coming with great momentum.

A large number of people have appeared from afar, with colorful flags flying and banners waving, and a large number of people are scattered.

Yun Canglan rode his horse to Cao Yin and smiled and said, "Marty, you're here in the capital. This is the team that is coming to welcome him!"

Cao Yin nodded, smiled faintly, and did not speak.

Since then, a team of people have been racing, with their official uniforms in their bodies. Judging from their official uniform style, their grades are not low.

When they walked closer, the group of people strangled their horses. The first one was not wearing an official, but a purple brocade robe. They were about forty years old, with two horoscopes and beards, a national face, with a good appearance and a well-proportioned figure. They must have been a handsome and elegant man when they were young.

This man looked very graceful and elegant. He turned over and got off the horse and walked forward quickly. The officials behind him also dismounted and followed the middle-aged man to welcome him quickly.

Yun Canglan looked at the middle-aged man, frowned slightly, and then said to Cao Yin: "Marty, that is my Minister of Rites in Daqing, Lu Shangde, and his current national uncle, and the queen's brother!"

Cao Yin nodded slightly, and when he saw that the uncle had come, he also turned over and dismounted.

Han Mo had already come forward at this time and followed Cao Yin. Cao Yin and Han Mo looked at each other without standing. They took the initiative to go forward, but heard that the uncle Lu Shangde had already laughed and said, "This must be Changde Hou, thank you for your hard work all the way!" He raised his hands, walked to Cao Yin in three or two steps, and bowed, "I, Lu Shangde, come to welcome the princess and the marquis with orders. Thank you all the hard work all the way!"

Cao Yin smiled and bowed, "So it's my uncle, I hope you can welcome him in person!"

The uncle of the country smiled heartily and said, "Mr. Marquis, I have never worn official uniforms today. I only wear this simple dress to welcome you. Don't be surprised. The princess of your country will be the crown princess of Daqing, and Yan Qing is a family. If I wear the government, I will be a little disgusted, but I will not be as kind as I am!"

Cao Yin smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Uncle has the will."

The uncle turned around and introduced some of the officials behind him, mainly from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple. The Minister of the Honglu Temple, Lu Zongfeng, stood beside the uncle and looked very easy-going.

After introducing the officials, Cao Yin turned around and introduced: "This is my Deputy Envoy Han Mo and Han, and this is my Minister of Rites of Dayan, Song Shiqing and Song!"

The uncle immediately bowed his hand, looked at Han Mo up and down, and smiled and said, "I have heard of this deputy envoy of Han. He is one of the rare young heroes!"

Han Mo had already bowed and smiled and said, "My uncle has been too much award, he has a reputation and cannot be praised by his uncle!"

The uncle laughed and then said to Yun Canglan: "Mr. Yun, you have made great contributions to escorting the princess to Beijing along the way. I must ask the emperor for an order to reward you!"

Yun Canglan looked calm and said calmly: "Uncle Guo, the princess was frightened on the road, so let the team enter the city earlier and let the princess rest earlier!"

"Frightened?" Guogong frowned: "What do you say to Lord Yun?"

Yun Canglan looked at the face of the uncle and said slowly: "The princess was assassinated when she entered the territory of our Qing Kingdom. Fortunately, the princess had nothing to do, otherwise... Yun was afraid that she would apologize for her death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the officials of Qing Kingdom all looked surprised. Even the uncle changed his expression and said in a lost voice: "What? Princess... was assassinated?" He seemed to really not know about the assassination, but his surprise was not as if he was fake.

Han Mo was also observing his words and expressions. Seeing that his uncle looked sincere, he frowned slightly. He felt in his heart that either this matter was indeed nothing to do with the Qingguo Hou Party, or this uncle was a genius actor.

The uncle of the country is Qinghou's elder brother, so he is naturally the core figure of the Hou Party. If this assassination was instructed by the Hou Party, the uncle should have known some of the situation and his expression would not appear so sincere.

Cao Yin smiled faintly and said, "One of the murderers has been captured by us and has been taken to the capital. Can the clues be found? Let's go back and try them carefully!" After a pause, he smiled calmly and said, "This murderer is Qin Si, the commander of the An Army of your country. Now he is in our team. I will first explain to my uncle that although he is an official of your country, the one who assassinated me is my Princess Dayan, so... I cannot hand it over to your country for the time being!"

When Cao Yin said this, everyone was shocked again.

Someone in the Qing State official shouted: "Impossible, this... is absolutely impossible!"

Yun Canglan looked at the man and knew him. He knew that he had a good relationship with Qin Si and sneered: "There is nothing impossible. It is indeed Qin Si who led the people to assassinate the princess!"

Qin Si is a member of the Hou Party. Although Yun Canglan really doesn't want to see that it was Qing people planning the assassination, he hopes to take advantage of such an opportunity to strike against the Hou Party.

The uncle's face was no longer as cheerful and friendly as before. After pondering for a while, he finally said, "Let's discuss this matter again. Marquis, let's go to the city first!"

At this moment, an official behind him stepped forward and said, "Uncle, if the princess enters the city, there is no need for so many soldiers from Yan State. There is a camp outside the city. Let some soldiers follow the princess into the city, and the other soldiers will be stationed outside the city!"

Han Mo immediately said: "My Imperial Guard was ordered by my lord to protect the princess and the marquis. Before the princess got married, our Imperial Guard would naturally not leave the enemy!"

Cao Yin also smiled faintly and said, "Uncle, our people have entered the city in many places. If they are not allowed, I, Princess Dayan, will not enter the city!"

Although Cao Yin's tone was gentle, this gentle tone had an undeniable toughness.

The uncle turned around and said to the official: "The Marquis said it well. These are all princesses, how can they be separated? What's more, Yan Qing is now a brotherly country and stationed outside the city. What's the reason?" He smiled and bowed to Cao Yin and said: "Mr. Don't be surprised, please enter the city quickly. The emperor has issued an order. The Yan State mission moved into the royal villa. This is a great favor!"

Cao Yin smiled leisurely and said, "We are not ministers of Qing Kingdom. The arrangements of the noble master can only be said to be passionate, but they cannot be called favor!"

The uncle laughed and said, "Extremely, I'm wronged!"

At this time, the welcome team behind had arrived, with gongs and drums and rituals and music separated on both sides of the avenue. With the welcome of the uncle and the Qing State officials, the Yan State delegation finally entered the world's number one city.

Shangjing is magnificent and connected by pavilions, even the streets seem to be much wider than Yanjing City.

The world's number one city is prosperous, with restaurants and tea shops along the way, with green tiles and light walls and high trees, and the scenery is quite beautiful.

The soldiers of Qing Kingdom were already separated on both sides of the main street, and people were strictly prohibited from walking on the road. On those side roads, there were still pedestrians and bustling traffic. Many people came to watch the arrival of the Yan Kingdom mission.

The soldiers of the Yan State mission were all elite soldiers of the Yan State. Most of them were strong in figures, with exquisite and stylish armor on their bodies. They all looked cold and looked squinting. They were also tall and big horses under their seats. They were well-deserved elite troops. They were not only strong in combat, but also in appearance. Walking on the streets of Shangjing, they were very imposing.

People on both sides of the street were talking in a low voice, but Han Mo noticed that most of the people were literati and poets wearing long gowns and hand-cranked folding fans. They stood up and raised their heads, pointed at the princess's carriage from time to time, and then whispered a few words to their friends around them, then let out a strange smile, and their faces were full of disdain.

There were so many such scenes along the way, and more than half of the literati and poets they saw showed disdainful expressions.

Han Mo is not a fool. Although he has a lot of voices, he can still guess the thoughts of these literati.

In the eyes of these scholars, Yan's country married a princess, in the eyes of these scholars, it was Yan's people bowing to Qing. As a ritual country, these scholars were filled with the pride and self-esteem of orthodox countries. In their eyes, Yan was just a vassal state that dominated one country. Therefore, seeing Yan's country sending the princess was greatly satisfied with their vanity as the people of the country.

Han Mo could only sigh in his heart that sometimes when he read too much, he was indeed full of books, and he had the talent of etiquette and profound cultural heritage. However, at the same time, this country became cowardly and lost its iron-blooded wolf nature in the whine of literati.

For a hundred years, the four countries have been in the world, regardless of the South Feng Kingdom, and the Wei and Yan Kingdom have been prevalent from beginning to end. Especially in the Wei Kingdom, the people have undergone strict militarization training since childhood. However, the people in the jurisdiction of the Yan family have never stopped militia training during the slack farming period. The emperors of Yan State mobilized troops every year to carry out two hunting activities. The warriors of Yan State can also have excellent homes, whether they are in the army or become bodyguards in the hospital, they can be respected.

After the founding of the Qing Kingdom, the people of Qing Kingdom claimed to be orthodox and had a great literary style. Although they did not develop to the point of abandoning martial arts, it is undeniable that in the Qing Kingdom, military personnel did not receive due respect. Those talented literary talents were the objects of worship of the people. Therefore, although there were peerless generals like Shang Zhongli in Qing Kingdom, there were very few people from martial arts, and most of the soldiers were forced to recruit. The combat effectiveness of soldiers was obviously inferior to that of Wei and Yan.

In this era of turmoil and hegemony, if the people of a country recite beautiful articles all day long but lose the ferociousness and bloodthirst of the wolf, it would be an extremely dangerous situation.

While the literati on both sides of the road were ridiculing the cowardice of Yan, the people of Yan also laughed at their self-righteousness deep in their hearts!
