Chapter 14 Going to the Capital

Last time we talked about Bailing expressing her feelings to the scumbag Li Yi, so let’s continue to see how the story develops next.

Bailing felt sad when she heard this. Li Yi was unwilling to marry her, so she turned back to the bed and wiped her tears silently. Li Yi walked to her side and said softly, "Bailing, I'm not saying I don't want to marry you, but now is not the right time. How about you wait until I make a name for myself in Shangjing City, and then I'll come back to pick you up and go to Shangjing together?"

Bai Ling looked at Li Yi and cried, "I'm afraid that by then you will have another woman and will never come back!"

Li Yi couldn't bear to see women cry, couldn't bear to see beauties cry, couldn't bear to see his beloved beauties cry. Ah, the desire to protect her surged up. Li Yi embraced Bailing in his arms, and Bailing didn't resist. At this point, there was no point in being reserved.

Li Yi patted her back gently and said, "Okay, stop crying. Let's find a compromise. How about this? You and I agree on a deadline. If I haven't made a name for myself by then, I will come back to marry you no matter what. How about that?"

Bailing sniffed and asked, "How long?" Li Yi reached out and stroked Bailing's hair, saying, "How long do you think is appropriate?" Bailing stared into Li Yi's eyes. She was considering how long it would be. If the time was too short, Li Yi would not be able to show his talents. If so, she would become a stumbling block on his road to success, which would be bad; if the time was too long, she was afraid that the kite would fly too high and the string would break and she would not be able to reel it in, which would be a waste of time.

Bailing slowly stood up, took the pipa from the wall, sat upright, and began to play the song "Old Beauty". This time she played with her heart and sang with emotion. Li Yi looked at Bailing, whose eyes were filled with tears, and listened to her sincere singing. He could hear the infatuation, see the sadness, and taste the reluctance to leave.

Bai Ling finished singing and said sadly: "It is only at this moment that I can truly appreciate the artistic conception of this song. No matter how reluctant I am, I can't help it. Only this feeling remains unchanged." She was expressing her feelings to Li Yi, expressing her reluctance and unwillingness. Li Yi looked at Bai Ling and showed a face of relief, "I understand what you mean. In fact, parting does not necessarily mean sadness."

Li Yi took out a white ribbon from the dressing table and braided a strand of Bailing's black hair into it. This was a skill he learned in his previous life to please his girlfriend. There was a strand of white silk in the black braid. Bailing looked at the braid and asked curiously, "What does this mean?"

Li Yi wiped away the tears from Bai Ling's eyes and said, "I will teach you how to braid this kind of braid. From now on, you should braid one more braid like this every ten days. If you can't braid another one like this on your head and I haven't come back, then you can consider me dead and go find someone who is more suitable for you."

Bai Ling played with her braids and said, "If that time really comes, I will be like an old woman with a head full of white hair. How can I find a more suitable person then?"

Bailing actually wanted to tell Li Yi that she would wait patiently, braiding her hair carefully, even if her braids were all white, she would still wait for him to come back. But when Li Yi heard this, he suddenly remembered a song, a very familiar song. He walked to the zither and tried to recall the score. Then Jay Chou's "Hair Like Snow" sounded, and he danced on the zither with both hands, playing and singing:

"The wolf-tooth moon, the beauty is haggard, I raise my cup and drink up the wind and snow,

Who overturned the cabinet of past life, causing dust and trouble?

The secret of fate, after several reincarnations, you frowned, crying that your beloved could not be called back.

Even if history has turned to ashes, my love will never die.

The prosperity is like three thousand eastward flowing waters, I only take a scoop of love and understanding, and only love the butterfly incarnated by you.

Your hair is as white as snow, making our farewell sad and beautiful. Who is moved by my burning incense?

Invite the bright moon, let the memories be bright, and love be perfect under the moonlight.

Your hair is like snow, and your tears are flying. I am waiting for someone to grow old.

In the drunken years of worldly life, I will carve a monument of my eternal love for you with no regrets.

The bronze mirror reflects innocence, with a ponytail. If you act wild, I will keep you company with wine in this life.

La la ...

The bronze mirror reflects innocence, with a ponytail, if you want to go wild, I will accompany you with wine in this life. "

Purple air lingered, the music was gentle and graceful, and Li Yi sang very hard. When the purple air flowed into his body, Bai Ling woke up from the intoxicating dream, looked at Li Yi infatuatedly and said, "How can I bear to let you go like this?"

Li Yi stood up and embraced her in his arms, walked to the window, pointed at the new moon in the starry sky and said: "I'm singing the song I just sang for you, 'Hair Like Snow'. When your hair is half black and half white, I'll be crying thinking about you without you even noticing. There are no wild geese coming to the capital, so you can follow the clouds and leave this building."

Bai Ling savored the deep meaning of the words, and then said: "What if I go to Shangjing City and find that you have a new love?"

"You can ask Sister Ruyun to kill me." Bailing blinked her big eyes and said, "You said it, don't kneel down and beg for mercy when the time comes!" Li Yi smiled and said, "I hope you won't be reluctant."

Bai Ling pushed Li Yi away and said angrily, "If that day ever comes, I will definitely castrate you with my own hands!"

Li Yi was startled and subconsciously covered his lower body with his hands. Bai Ling showed a smug expression and said, "It seems that you are not as noble as I imagined!" Li Yi straightened his body and said calmly, "I am also a man, it is inevitable that I will be vulgar."

Hearing this, Bai Ling showed a playful smile, walked to the bronze mirror, and said while fiddling with her body: "Yes, men are all lustful, otherwise you wouldn't have come up with such a thing!"

Under Li Yi's gaze, Bai Ling slowly took off her clothes, turned around, and showed her proud figure in front of Li Yi. Xiao Ye Zi was clever and skillful. This new bra she made not only maximized the gathering effect, but also made the pattern more exquisite under Bai Ling's suggestion. It was mainly transparent but not revealing, thin but extraordinary.

Li Yi looked at Bailing's graceful figure, his blood expanded, and he walked forward, but Bailing put on a nightgown to hide the beautiful scenery. She stretched out her hand to block Li Yi's chest and smiled, "Is it beautiful?" "Beautiful! Of course it's beautiful!" Li Yi couldn't control his inner demons, and wanted to eat people. Bailing said, "If I screamed indecently, would someone rush in?"

A basin of cold water extinguished the flame of passion. Li Yi stepped back a few steps and sat on the bed. Bai Ling put on her nightgown, revealing only a little of her glory. She then put herself into Li Yi's arms and said with a smile, "Just enjoy your eyes, don't think too much."

Li Yi hugged Bailing, and his hands began to caress her involuntarily. Bailing did not resist and said in a tender voice: "I will wait for you to come back and marry me. When the time comes, I will be willing to eat me, but now is not the time." After saying this, Bailing gently pressed Li Yi's lower abdomen with her hands. Li Yi also stopped kneading with his salty hands and said dissatisfiedly: "This is your fault. You arouse people's desire but don't let them indulge themselves. Do you want me to play with fire and get burned?"

Bailing leaned over and kissed Li Yi's ear, saying tenderly: "They say that what you can't get is the best. If I let you get it now, I'm afraid you will think it's too easy and won't know how to cherish it." Li Yi glanced at Bailing unhappily, pressed her on the bed, buried her face in the mountains, greedily absorbing the fairy air in the mountains. After a while, Bailing blushed and propped up Li Yi's head, tightened her nightgown and said shyly: "Okay, okay, it's almost done. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will really catch fire."

Li Yi stood up in dismay. Bai Ling did not tease Li Yi any more, but said to him with a smile: "I will not see you off tomorrow. I am afraid that I will not be able to let you go and you will do something embarrassing again."

Li Yi looked at Bai Ling unhappily and said, "Okay, that's fine. I'll let you go for now and fight you next time! If you refuse to fight again, I'll kill you without leaving a single piece of armor!" Bai Ling knew that Li Yi was just talking nonsense, so she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, we'll fight you again when you come back. Then I'll put on my armor and fight you to my heart's content."

Bai Ling bowed to Li Yi with a playful look on her face. Li Yi wrote down two music scores and left Liumoxuan reluctantly. He sighed in his heart: Ah, she is pretty, has a good figure, and is even more comfortable when she talks dirty. She is beautiful and has a sweet voice! It's a pity that I can't execute her on the spot tonight! What a pity! In order to prevent her from harming others, I'd better take this monster away as soon as possible! I can't let her harm the world! Well! I fought with this monster for the reason of upholding justice, not for any obscene purpose! Lustful? That's even more nonsense!

Li Yi made up all kinds of legitimate reasons for picking flowers for himself while walking back to the courtyard. After tossing and turning with Bailing for a while, it was already late at night. Looking at the new moon and stars in the sky, thinking about the unknown journey to Shangjing, and Bailing's devilish figure, he tossed and turned for a long time and finally fell asleep...

The next day, Li Yi packed his luggage. Actually, there was nothing much to pack. Apart from a few changes of clothes, Li Yi took nothing. The carriage was waiting in front of the courtyard. Chen Fang, Ruyun, Xiaoye, Huayu and Ruolan came to see him off. When Bailing was not seen, Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "You really don't dare to come."

Ruyun said directly as always: "The Bailing people don't dare to come. I'm afraid they are secretly watching from upstairs. But even though she didn't come, she has prepared all the food and supplies for you on the way. Li Yi, don't let her down!"

Li Yi bowed and said, "I dare not, I dare not! Sister Ruyun is joking." Fang Zhuo stepped forward and took out two letters from his sleeve and handed them to Li Yi, saying, "My dear Li, you are going to the capital. It just so happens that I have two letters to give to the teacher. I would like to trouble you to help deliver them."

Li Yi took the letter and stuffed it into his sleeve without even reading it. He said, "No problem. I just don't know where Master Fang's teacher lives in Shangjing?" Fang Zhuo stroked his beard and said, "My master runs a teahouse in Shangjing called Qingshui Pavilion, on Zhuque Avenue. You can find out when you get to Shangjing. It's opposite Juxian Pavilion." "Juxian Pavilion? What kind of place is that?"

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "That's where the court recruits talents. Why are you interested, Li Xiaoyou? Why not give it a try?" After saying that, he smiled and Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look on the way."

After saying goodbye, Li Yi set off on his journey to Shangjing City. It took three days to get from Qing'an City to Shangjing City, and there were no setbacks along the way. The war had subsided, and although there were still a few bandits in various places, the government had been doing its best to eliminate them. On the official road, no one dared to stop and rob.

In this way, Li Yi came to Shangjing City, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and found an inn of neither too big nor too small to stay in. After settling down, he went out for a walk to see the customs and culture of Shangjing City.

Shangjing City has a population of over one million, and the outer city wall is dozens of miles long. It is one of the largest cities in the world. The city wall is nine feet high and five feet thick, all made of rammed earth. The Northern Wei Dynasty had built its capital here for more than 120 years. It has undergone three expansions by four generations of emperors, and now we have the towering city walls and prosperous city.

Walking on the main street paved with bluestone slabs, you feel as if you are in Chang'an during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, surrounded by high walls, a prosperous imperial city, rows of buildings, wide streets, neat alleys, crisscrossing canals, green shades, gatherings of merchants, busy carriages and horses, and a thriving population. Walking on Zhuque Avenue, the main street that runs through the capital, compared with modern roads, it can be said to be a two-way eight-lane road.

Li Yi sighed in his heart, "Oh my God, judging from the productivity of this era, to build such a big city, at least hundreds of thousands of people would be mobilized, and it would take more than ten years. Oh, it's so cool to be an emperor! What a pity, I have studied history! I know that being an emperor is not an easy job. A diligent emperor is easily exhausted to death, an idle emperor is easily killed, and a foolish emperor is easily played to death! No matter how you look at it, you will die quickly. This is a high-risk job! I don't know how the emperors of this world live, but no matter how good it is, I am not interested! Now that I have come here, thinking about the inventory in my mind, Li Yi is full of confidence, but he doesn't know how to realize his ambition to lead the world.

Li Yi was wandering around while thinking and sighing. Before he could finish sighing, he saw someone being thrown out of the door of the three-story pavilion. A middle-aged man in a black robe shouted, "If you don't have real talent, don't come to this Juxian Pavilion to embarrass yourself. Don't blame me for being rude next time!"
