Chapter 45 Who Doesn’t Know You

As the most majestic city in the world, Shendu has an extremely large flow of people entering and leaving the city every day. Both water and land routes are always blocked, causing the fleets of ships and people to form endless queues.

Most people have become accustomed to this kind of crowds and the long time spent in this crowd. However, what is strange is that the inspection speed of the soldiers guarding the city today has obviously increased a lot. Some sharp-eyed passengers who have traveled to the capital many times even noticed that there are a lot more soldiers today, and they feel puzzled.

In the evening, the passenger ship that Gu Zhuo and Lin Wanyi were on finally docked at the shore, and the guests began to disembark and be inspected by the soldiers.

The process was still very quick, lasting no more than a quarter of an hour, and the two were back on solid ground again after half a month.

The soldier guarding the city took the pass, looked up and examined them carefully, asked a few simple questions, and after confirming that the two had come to the capital to attend the summer festival, he smiled particularly kindly and let them go.

After climbing more than a hundred steps and passing through the surging crowd, the prosperity of the capital officially came into their eyes.

There was a constant flow of traffic and the sound of hooves on the bluestone road. The silhouette of a goshawk was hovering in the night sky dyed with sunset glow. The figure of a huge monster was vaguely emerging among the magnificent buildings of the distant imperial city.

——It is said that it is the flying boat that the imperial court will soon officially put into use. Unfortunately, it is extremely expensive and cannot replace carriages and boats at all. Otherwise, travel between different places in the world would obviously be much more convenient.

Lin Wanyi withdrew her gaze and no longer looked at the imperial city that was as majestic as a mountain.

She glanced ahead and soon spotted the rather conspicuous word "Lin". She knew it was her own carriage and said to Gu Zhuo, "The people who are here to pick us up are here."

Gu Zhuo hummed.

The two men walked towards the carriage at a slow pace, and took advantage of this last bit of leisure to exchange a few words.

Both she and he knew that after arriving in the Divine Capital, opportunities like this would become rare.

"I never asked you before, where are you going to live after you arrive in Shendu?"

"It's not fixed. I stay in an inn for two or three days, walk around the streets and alleys around, and see the scenery and people worth seeing. I change places like this."

"It feels quite interesting."

"should."

"It's a pity that I can't be as cool as you... When we have time to chat later, remember to tell me about the interesting things you encountered on the road."

"it is good."

"Alas!"

"what happened?"

Gu Zhuo turned his head and looked at Lin Wanyi and said.

Lin Wanyi looked inexplicably serious and asked in a low voice, "Do you have enough money?"

Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a problem. If I run out of money, there are many people in Wangjing who are willing to support me for free."

Lin Wanyi sighed and said, "I won such a large sum of money thanks to you before, and I was thinking of finding an opportunity to become your creditor, but it turns out that you are not short of money."

In a carriage at the corner of the street, the eunuch from the palace carefully noted this scene with a cold look in his eyes.

By the end of the night, what he had seen and heard today would be compiled into a report and presented on the desk of the empress, whose power and status were growing, for her to review.

At this moment, Gu Zhuo and Lin Wanyi finally walked to the carriage that had been parked for a long time and greeted Miss Lin in the carriage.

Yes, the Lin family did not ask any elder to come and receive Lin Wanyi. Instead, they specially selected a gentle and virtuous woman of the same generation in the family, so that the former would not feel restrained and could feel close to her.

This noble lady is named Lin Qianshui, and her name lives up to her character, giving people a feeling of fragility.

The twilight poured into the carriage through the skylight, leaving a dim light.

Lin Qianshui was a little older. She smiled gently and exchanged a few words with Lin Wanyi before turning her gaze to Gu Zhuo with a slightly strange look in her eyes.

The next moment, she suppressed the strange emotion and greeted him as usual.

Gu Zhuo has always been polite and responded very appropriately.

The sound of wheels rolling over bluestone slabs rang out, and the carriage began to head towards the North City, which was known for its elegance, along the grand avenue of the capital. On the way, the carriage was never silent for a moment, and Lin Qianshui's gentle and pleasant voice kept ringing, telling the two interesting stories about the capital in recent years to entertain them.

Occasionally, she would curiously ask Gu Zhuo about their experiences in Wangjing. Whenever she did so, her expression would become extremely focused, not wanting to miss a single word of the conversation.

It’s hard not to be happy with a conversation like this.

Until the night fell and the carriage stopped in front of an inn, Lin Qianshui still felt a little regretful.

So she smiled naturally and said something to Gu Zhuo.

"There will be a gathering here in a few days. It is spontaneously organized by students from the local academy in Shendu. The purpose is naturally to exchange ideas and communicate before the summer festival. It is said that the adults in the Sky Patrol Department are also paying attention to this gathering. The list to be announced by the court soon will refer to the results of this gathering to a certain extent. Mr. Gu, would you like to come over and sit with us?"

Gu Zhuo was not interested in this and was about to refuse when he suddenly remembered something.

He said to Lin Wanyi, "Are you interested?"

Lin Wanyi thought about it, shook her head and said, "No."

Gu Zhuo looked at Lin Qianshui and said, "Then I won't go either."

The reason why he asked this question was because he had previously promised Lin Wanyi that he would find time to talk to her about interesting things that might happen in the future, so he wanted to take this opportunity to meet her.

After hearing this, Lin Qianshui's smile froze slightly, and then he said, "I understand."

Gu Zhuo shook his head slightly and said goodbye to Lin Wanyi.

Then he picked up his luggage, left the carriage and walked straight into the inn.

The Lin family's hospitality is indeed great. The rooms have already been arranged and Gu Zhuo doesn't need to worry about anything.

When I pushed the door open, what I saw was not darkness, but bright lights.

Gu Zhuo put down his luggage and did not rush to take a shower to wash off the dust on his body.

Compared to this, there is one thing that is more worthy for him to do.

In other words, this is what he must do after arriving in the capital of gods.

Gu Zhuo walked to the open window of the inn, looked at the lights all over the city and the night sky with a lonely bright moon, and greeted silently and seriously in his heart.

The words could not be heard in the real world, but were known by everything in this world.

The wind continues to blow.

Everything seems normal.

The aura of the formation that was omnipresent in the Divine Capital had not changed at all, and was as quiet as before.

Only in Gu Zhuo's world, there were countless voices, surging like a tide.

"So there really is someone in this world who can talk to us?!"

"Hehehe, this is interesting. I remember who was the one who swore that this was definitely fake. Did they get together on purpose to lie to us and make us happy for nothing?"

"…I said it, so what? You didn't believe it much at the beginning. How come you still have the nerve to ask me now?"

"Quiet."

The moon over the river looks the same every year. The moonlight in the capital is still the moonlight in Wangjing. Even at this moment when everything is required to be quiet, the gentleness in the voice has not changed.

Gu Zhuo couldn't help but think of the poem from his previous life.

Who in the world doesn’t know you?
He smiled, his smile as gentle as ever, and said, "My name is Gu Zhuo, hello."
