capital city.

after leaving jinzhou city, liang sheng traveled leisurely, admiring the mountains and rivers along the way. he unknowingly arrived at the capital city in early spring.

on the way, there were some bandits who had blocked the road, or the so-called notorious robbers hunted by the three prefectures and five states. would he not be considered as helping to eliminate the evil for the people?

looking at the towering city walls that were dozens of feet high, liang sheng felt a surge of excitement at this moment. as expected of the dayan capital, it truly had an extraordinary atmosphere.

under the scorching sun, liang sheng could even see the faint glimmers on the city walls. with his keen eyes, he could naturally see what they were.

large crossbows.

perhaps this was the legendary town martial crossbow recorded in unofficial histories. those below high-level martial arts would have no chance of surviving once targeted by the crossbows.

after undergoing the inspection at the city gate, liang sheng finally set foot in the capital city, and was immediately greeted by a huge wave of sound.

in front of him, horses and carriages filled the street, with people crowding around as far as the eye could see. the bustling scene of the capital city was just the tip of the iceberg.

without any hesitation, liang sheng randomly chose a direction and walked forward. since he had come to the capital, he naturally wanted to explore and visit; he expected to stay in the capital for a long time.

where would the clue to the dust immortal be?

liang sheng moved toward the city center. in less than half an hour, he had encountered more than a dozen high-level martial artists, and even a master at the peak of the nine levels of the postnatal realm.

as expected of the capital, there were countless talented people. as he approached the city center, the number of people gradually decreased. in a short while, he caught sight of the awe-inspiring imperial city.

he took a glance at the imperial city and immediately lowered his head. the king’s aura here was so strong that even he, an innate grandmaster, felt some inexplicable pressure.

of course, this was just a feeling. if he had to engage in actual combat, this would not affect his full strength.

he even faintly sensed that there was a breath within the imperial city that was no weaker than his own. it seemed that there was also an innate grandmaster within the royal family.

at that moment, liang sheng took a deep look at the imperial city, turned around, and continued in another direction. with his speed, he was able to familiarize himself with the entire capital city before nightfall.

the layout of the capital city also conformed to the principles of feng shui and geomancy, and the traditional arrangement of residential areas was no different from that of jinzhou city. they were both rich in the north, noble in the east, poor in the south, and cheap in the west.

west city and south city were naturally not considered by liang sheng. he would be a fool to suffer in those two places.

east city was mostly inhabited by noble families, so going there would only draw attention to himself, which did not match his low-key and cautious temperament.

therefore, only north city remained as an option. this area was a gathering place for wealthy merchants, and some refined scholars who could not afford to live in east city would choose to live here as well.

over the years, liang sheng’s wealth had far exceeded the description of “rich and noble.” thinking about this, he did not hesitate and headed straight to the north city.

the streets of north city were even more bustling. teahouses and wine shops were in abundance, and there were even one or two nine-story brothels. this only made liang sheng more satisfied, as north city was indeed an ideal place to live.

liang sheng did not stop. as long as there was money, things could be easily settled. the agencies in dayan were comparable to large companies in his previous life, integrating intermediary services, housekeeping, and real estate transactions.

liang sheng wouldn’t waste his time on trivial matters of life. as long as there was enough money, the agency would take care of everything for him.

after explaining his requirements and paying a deposit, liang sheng no longer worried about the matter. he was not afraid that the agency would cheat him. besides, the agency would not ruin its reputation for petty gains.

later, liang sheng went straight to a pleasure quarter and saw the nine-story brothel. he could not help but exclaim, “as expected of the capital city!”.

dusty garden.

what a good name.

as soon as liang sheng appeared, the madame immediately ran out to greet him. after seeing various kinds of people, she knew liang sheng was no ordinary person at first glance.

a big spender!

not being modest, liang sheng grabbed the madame’s waist and without waiting for her to speak, he stuffed a silver note into her bosom.

the madame immediately smiled, “girls, why don’t you come out and greet our guest?” and so, they spent the night with wines and women, reveling in the pleasures of life.

the next morning, as liang sheng came out to eat breakfast, someone from the agency found him. he wasn’t concerned about it, as an agency wouldn’t be able to stay in business if it lacked such abilities.

at this moment, the agent was brimming with excitement, “sir, you have great luck. there’s a mansion that perfectly fits your requirements. do you want to have a look?”

liang sheng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said calmly, “let’s go, have a look.”

the agency had already prepared a horse carriage. in no time, they arrived at a mansion in north city. as soon as they got out of the carriage, liang sheng’s eyes lit up.

before entering the gate, a fragrance of osmanthus blossoms wafted from the courtyard. the courtyard was neither too large nor too small. small courtyards had not only osmanthus trees, but even a wooden pavilion beneath which flowed a stream of water.

the front part of the courtyard housed the servants; the second section contained the bedrooms and study, and the backyard was where the kitchen was located. the three-section mansion was small but complete with all essential facilities.

seeing liang sheng’s expression, the agent knew that the deal was a success. liang sheng was decisive and paid one hundred thousand taels of silver on the spot, and the deed was in his hands.

liang sheng even liked the carriage he rode in that day, so he directly bought it as well. the agent smiled even wider, making another deal.
