Chapter 226: Walking with Tigers and Wolves_1

Chapter 226

Yang Longting hasn't been doing very well lately, at least not as well as Cheng Dalei seems to be.

The moment he arrived at Chang'an City, he sensed an uneasy atmosphere. The imperial capital, the prosperous Chang'an, seemed to hide some kind of monster in its affluence. A monster ready to pounce at any moment, baring its teeth at him.

This was why there were always heavy troops stationed around his dwelling.

He did not like Chang'an, he longed for home. In Youzhou, he could control everything, invoking winds and summoning rains. However, in Chang'an, there were people everywhere with higher status than him, compelling him to tread carefully.

But going back was not easy. Emperor Ming wanted him to be present on the day the martial exam ended, to accept his grant in front of all the scholars.

Yang Longting counted the days, feeling increasingly agitated.

Thud, thud, thud.
