Chapter 255 First Arrival in Kyoto Renfeng smiled meaningfully and didn't say much about it. Gu Chan and Ding Sheng looked at each other and tactfully shut their mouths. Obviously, Ren Feng was unwilling to talk much about the affairs of Tianji Pavilion. Now that he was willing to reveal his true identity, he had already done his best. After realizing this, Gu Chan immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, Your Excellency the Censor, we will enter Kyoto tomorrow. Can I go see my friend first?" "Do you have friends in Kyoto?" Renfeng asked curiously. "He's my godfather's grandson, my good nephew Shen Yang." Gu Chan said with a smile. Several months have passed since Long Zhen wrote a letter of recommendation for Shen Yang to study in Kyoto, and she still doesn't know how Shen Yang is doing in Kyoto. It just so happens that I came to Kyoto this time. Since I had a narrow escape from death anyway, I might as well catch up with that handsome boy before that. Ren Feng nodded and said, "Of course you can, but someone from our Tianji Pavilion has to go with you to watch over you, to prevent you from escaping." "Oh! How dare I run away now! The lives of more than 50 people including my grandfather are in your hands! What will they do if I run away?" Gu Chan sighed helplessly.
"I'm glad you know." Ren Feng responded with satisfaction. Then the three of them didn't say anything more, but calmed down and continued eating. After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest. Somehow, that night, Gu Chan slept very comfortably on the bed in the guest room of the inn and slept until dawn. The next morning, when she got up, Renfeng and others were already waiting for her downstairs having breakfast. She came downstairs and had breakfast with them, and then the team set out from the post station and headed for Kyoto. At noon, the team arrived outside the tall East Gate of Kyoto. Gu Chan sat in the carriage and looked up through the window, discovering that Kyoto was indeed unique. The city wall leading into the city alone was more than 20 meters high, and the East Gate was even taller. People standing under the gate looked like the little people in a shadow play, appearing very small. Ding Sheng was sitting nearby. Seeing Gu Chan looking at the city gate with a surprised look on her face, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "You are so ignorant. How come this is your first time in Kyoto?" "Hmph! For me, it can only be said to be coming back." Gu Chan snorted coldly and said disdainfully. In her previous life, she was a maid in a high-ranking official's family in Kyoto. She must have lived in a prosperous place like Kyoto before, but was later exiled to the border. If she hadn't had the original owner's memory, she wouldn't have been as surprised as she is now. Ding Sheng didn't know Gu Chan's specific situation, so he just asked in confusion, "Have you been to Kyoto before?" "It's none of your business, fat guy. If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up." Gu Chan said fiercely. Ding Sheng laughed dryly twice and quickly shut his mouth. While the two were talking, the soldiers guarding the city had completed their inspection and released the troops. Led by the Imperial Censor Renfeng, the team slowly entered the tall city gate of Kyoto. As the convoy entered Kyoto, Gu Chan sat in the carriage, watching with her mouth wide open. Compared to places like Zhongyuan City, Kyoto is obviously much more luxurious. Entering from the East Gate is a huge main street, the kind that allows three carriages to run side by side. In modern terms, this main street actually has three lanes. As for both sides of the street, there are tall buildings everywhere. The lowest buildings are four-story. Small buildings like three stories are rarely seen here. And most importantly, these buildings are built very luxuriously, magnificently and majestically. Even the signs hanging on the ground floor are made of gold. The streets were even more lively, with all kinds of stalls and shops, all kinds of delicious food, and pedestrians coming and going shoulder to shoulder. Everyone was wearing gorgeous clothes, and it was obvious that they were not poor. Many people were holding mysterious beasts in their hands, such as tigers, big cats, wild wolves, etc., and they were completely treating the mysterious beasts as pets. There were also those who set up stalls to perform, and they were all powerful practitioners. Just looking at the tricks they performed, it can be seen that their physical skills are not weak.
"Oh my god! It's really worthy of being called Kyoto. This level of luxury is really enough to make people smack their lips in such ancient times!" After watching for a while, Gu Chan couldn't help but mutter to herself. On the other hand, Ding Sheng sat in the carriage with a grim look on his face, looking quite restless. The convoy drove forward for a while and then stopped outside an inn called Fulai Inn. The three of them got off the car, and Ren Feng said to Gu Chan and the others, "You stay in this inn first. I have already arranged a room for you. I will go to Tianji Pavilion to report first and come to see you tomorrow." "Then, Your Excellency the Censor, can I go out for a walk today?" Gu Chan asked. "During the waiting period, you can move freely and your personal freedom will not be restricted." Ren Feng said with a smile. After he finished speaking, he immediately called two of his men and ordered, "Each of you will keep an eye on them and protect them at all times. Don't let them be in any danger of their lives." "Yes, sir." The two men said in unison. Renfeng nodded with satisfaction, said no more, turned around, got on the carriage and left with the team. The two men made a gesture of invitation to Gu Chan and the others, then they took them into the inn and went straight to the second floor. Soon the four of them arrived at a number one room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. The subordinate who was in charge of watching Gu Chan said, "Manager Gu, this is the room our master has arranged for you two. You can stay here temporarily while you wait." "Okay, got it." Gu Chan said with a smile. Ding Sheng had a stiff face. He walked straight to the bed without saying a word, lay down on it and fell into a deep sleep. Gu Chan asked, "Now that you're here, why don't you go out for a walk?" "I'm not like you, who is in such a good mood to go shopping. We may be in danger at any time. Instead of shopping, we might as well lie down and rest for a while." Ding Sheng said with a bitter face. "Tsk! That's boring. If you don't go shopping, I will. It's a good opportunity to go and see my dear nephew." Gu Chan said unhappily. After saying that, she immediately left the house and walked downstairs. The subordinate who was responsible for watching her naturally followed her out, while the subordinate who was responsible for watching Ding Sheng closed the door and sat quietly at the table to watch. After Gu Chan came out of Fulai Inn, she started strolling on the street. Fortunately, she had some silver on her when she was imprisoned before, so she didn't have to worry about not having money to buy things when she went shopping now. Not long after she started shopping, she took a handful of delicious snacks and started to eat them. Seeing this, the subordinates following her could only shake their heads helplessly, thinking that children are indeed greedy and are far from being as mature as adults! "Hey! Where are the people?" But just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a loud scream and was instantly stunned. It was because Gu Chan, who had just been walking in front of him, disappeared as soon as he turned his head. (End of this chapter)
