Chapter 8 Out-of-town Encounter

In this way, the three of them went all the way north, passed through Tanzhou, Jiangling Prefecture and Xiangzhou, and transferred to Xingyuan Prefecture. Finally, 25 days later, they came to the gate of Chang'an City of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chang'an, since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, this city has been repeatedly destroyed by war. In the first year of Tianyou, Zhu Wen coerced Tang Zhaozong to move the capital to Luoyang. Hundreds of Chang'an Palace and folk houses were destroyed, and their materials were taken. They floated down along the river. Since then, Chang'an has been in ruins. Chang'an City, which has been painstakingly operated by the Sui and Tang Dynasties for more than 300 years, has since become a scorched earth and dilapidated. After the Tang Dynasty moved east, the Youguo Army was set up in Chang'an, and Han Jian served as the governor of the Youguo army. After the war, Chang'an City was too empty due to the dispersion of the people. For this reason, Han Jian simply abandoned the original outer city and palace and transformed the imperial city: the Zhuque Gate was closed to the south, retaining the door and Hanguang Gate; the Yanxi Gate was closed in the east, retaining the Jingfeng Gate; the Anfu Gate in the west was closed, retaining the Shunyi Gate; and the north New Xuanwu Gate opened. At this time, there are five gates in Chang'an City, of which the east and west gates are opposite each other, but the two gates in the south are not opposite the Xuanwu Gate in the north. Although Chang'an City has been rebuilt, Chang'an has not been valued since the Southern Tang Dynasty returned to the Northern Song Dynasty. Coupled with the baptism of war, the whole city is basically in a state of waste. Song Taizu has proposed to move the capital several times, so it has lost its central position in economy and culture.

At this time, the three stood in front of the Danfeng Gate and looked at the ancient city. Although they had been baptized by war several times, as the ancient capitals of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, the former Zhao, the former Qin Dynasty, the Later Qin Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were beyond the reach of other cities in terms of its scale and history.

"There is no silence in Chang'an today, Mai Miaoxiu in the abandoned city. Picking woods and harvesting all the apricot garden flowers, repairing villages and rulying the remnants and willows, Huaxuan's embroidered hubs are all scattered, half of the Jiadi Zhumen, including the fox and rabbits on the Yuan Hall, and the front of the calyx building is full of thorns. In the past, the prosperity was buried, and there was no purpose in the eyes. The inner library burned into beautiful ashes, and the sky street stepped on the bones of the public. At present, Chang'an is not the same as the old days. It's been about 20 years since I came here last time. When Tang Yutian saw that the ancient city had arrived, he disembowed and walked. Although the number of bandits in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty was much less than that of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the routine inspection of entering the customs still had to be done.

However, I saw these three slowly walking towards Danfengmen, but I saw a long queue in front of them. At present, the team was moving forward slowly. Many people were already dissatisfied with the speed of entering the city and shouted at their father and mother in the team. The little official guarding the door shouted in front: "People quickly unpack and wait for the inspection to enter the city after being inspected."

Tang Yutian frowned. He didn't want to make more trouble, but he didn't want to waste time waiting, so he slightly bowed to a man in his 50s beside him and asked, "Brother, what's the matter today? Why did you line up so early in the morning?"

The man is a farmer who grows a lot nearby. He usually does business with some small vendors or big familymates, and it is rare to have the opportunity to deal with the sven people. Although Tang Haotian hid the momentum of his long-term superior, the man was flattered by his Confucian demeanor and gentleness at this time. He quickly wiped the sweat on his face with the cloth hanging around his neck and said, "This gentleman is polite. How can the little man stand such a big gift? Speak carefully for fear of offending which master.

Tang Haotian laughed and said, "I'm not polite to you. You don't look like a master. Brother, I'm satisfied with calling me a brother."

Seeing that his eyes were sincere and his words were kind, the old man was unrestrained and began to talk to Tang Haotian: "That little old man is not seen outside. I am an outsider. Recently, this Jingzhao Mansion has been strictly controlled. I can't help but talk about it at night. The city inspection during the day has also become strict. Like me, I carry the burden into the city to sell vegetables. Yes, you have to check half a cup of tea. How can people stand such an inspection on this day? Isn't it getting more and more serious?

Tang Haotian listened and asked again, "Brother, do you know why it has been so strict here recently?" Seeing that Tang Haotian listened very seriously, he did not think how irritable he was at all. He couldn't help sighing that this was a big family who could talk to himself so low-profilely and listen to his brother's sincerity. Naturally, he knew everything and said endlessly: "This little old man doesn't know, but it is said that it is A big man wants to come to Huashan to sacrifice, saying whether to worship the army or ancestors. It seems that this character is not simple, otherwise how can Jingzhaofu be so cautious? The big man seemed to be worried that someone would harm him, so he asked the governor to set up a strict defense. The little man hasn't read a book and has a bad memory, which disappoints my brother.

Tang Haotian laughed and said, "Well, if my brother's memory is not good, how can I remember these things? If it were my brother, I would definitely not remember so many things. I just don't know what a big person he needs to be so big.

The old man looked around carefully and whispered, "Isn't the emperor come in person? Recently, everyone has been speculating about the identity of this big man. If it is really the emperor, the little old man will want to see him.

Tang Haotian smiled faintly and said, "If the emperor really came in person, it would be in vain for me to come to Jingzhao Mansion once. By the way, brother, your vegetables are very fresh. I have something urgent to go to the city this time, or I don't have to go to your house to ask for a bowl of water and listen to your experience of growing vegetables.

The old man was naturally happy when he heard that he praised his good vegetables: "That's right. The vegetables I planted are famous nearby. If it weren't for my brother, I really wanted you to take two of my vegetables home to eat. If you want to enter the city faster, you can talk to the guards there in front of the gate.

Tang Haotian thanked the old man, took Qin Yuning and Tang Longyan around the team and walked to the door. Tang Longyan didn't find it strange, because when he lived in the mountains, it was Tang Haotian who took him to the market to buy things and bargain. Only Qin Yuning, who was beside them, knew that Tang Haotian was not easy. If it had been 20 years ago, although Tang Haotian could not despise these people, his arrogance could not allow him to ask people.

I had to walk to the gate, but I saw more than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate. Why didn't the guards of the Qinglong family come here to guard? He had a little doubt in his heart, but he was still low-profile and came forward and hugged him and said, "Brother brothers, there is an emergency to discuss with Qin Yiyun, the governor of the Yongxing Army. Can you open up the Internet and let me enter the city as soon as possible?"

When the soldiers on this side heard his words, their eyes were angry. Before they could answer, the little officials over there rushed over. Who is making trouble here and don't go back to the team as soon as possible? When did this Yongxing military governor become Lord Qin? It was clearly Wu Yuancheng, the eldest son of Lord Wu Tingzuo and Lord Wu. You are confused here. Be careful that I will directly press you to prison!" The man has a short figure and an old face, but at this time he is majestic. He seems to be the leader of these people. At this time, he is shouting here and looks so elegant.

Tang Haotian was not angry when he saw the situation, but was hit by that man and didn't know whether to continue to ask. While thinking about how to get in, Qin Yuning in the car saw this, smiled and sighed, stretched out the delicate and soft curtain and pushed away the curtain of the carriage. At this moment, the breath of fireworks in the world appeared clearly in front of the world. Even if there was a veil, she could still feel the soft posture and looming beauty. It reveals a small trace of enchanting charm, which makes people unable to withdraw after gathering their eyes.

How have the dozen gatekeepers seen this fairy-like figure? They couldn't move as if they had been fixed, and only heard the sound of swallowing saliva one by one. However, she smiled at the shouting little official and said softly, "This eldest brother taught me a lesson, but my family does have something urgent to enter the city as soon as possible. I hope this eldest brother can be flexible. This little money is here to invite you to have tea. When the matter is done, my husband and I will definitely thank you in the future." After saying that, he took out a piece of silver from his hand and handed it to the little official. The shallow smile was originally bright and beautiful. The little official couldn't help but look at it. At a look, he couldn't help but look at it. Then he listened to the pleasant sound of nature like a silver bell, which was like holding the furnace in the middle of winter, holding snow in June, and was indescribably useful in his heart.

"This lady, although we are strict, we are still tolerant outside the law. We are not so cold-blooded. This... go this way..." The little official swallowed his saliva fiercely and wanted to secretly hold the tender hand with an ingot of silver.

Even if 20 years ago, this little official's trick could not escape Qin Yuning's eyes. How could she give the little official such advantage now? However, if it had been 20 years ago, the little official would have to lie ** and not get up in March.

However, Qin Yuning's slender fingers flicked gently, and the ingot of silver crashed into the hand of the little official. The little official could not steal the incense, but his palms were painful. Then he restrained his heart, and the trembled slightly stopped, and his face was full of smile, as if the arrogance just now had never existed on him. Same.

Qin Yu opened her red lips, revealing two lines of broken jade, bowed Yingying, said a thousand blessings, put away the shallow charm, and said softly, "Thank you to this big brother." Tang Longyan, who pulled the black-faced monk Tang Longyan in a surprised state, entered the city. The group behind him was left arguing endlessly.

"This little lady is so good-looking."

"You still said that she is a little lady, and you always want to stare at her face, but they don't look at you, and you can only see one side face of them. I didn't see that her bun had been tied up, and she had already become someone else's wife.

"How dare you say that I was stunned just now, and the saliva was all over the ground?"
