Chapter 169: A Chance Encounter

The Great Golden Crow unscrupulously spewed tongues of fire into the earth, and the sun was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes at all. On both sides www.biquge.info of the road are patches of golden wheat, and there is not a trace of wind in the sky. Under the scorching sun, the poor people harvested precious grain in the fields. In the golden wheat waves, a black back floats from time to time. It's like a reef, but with every minute the reef moves, the golden wheat fields decrease a little.

A luxurious ox cart drove along the main road, supported by knights on the left and right. A small green flag was planted on the roof of the car, the small flag was drooping, and the black words were hidden in the folds. However, this did not seem to affect its function, and the countless pairs of thieves' eyes saw the little flag, and disappeared again in the golden wheat field, as if they had never appeared.

It's hard to breathe in the heat outside, but it's cold and pleasant inside the carriage. Zhang Miaoke was dressed in a gauze and sat in the car bored. lifted the curtain, and suddenly a hot wind rushed in, and Zhang Miaoke hurriedly lowered the curtain again.

But the moment she lowered the curtain, a huge city had fallen into her eyes. That is Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Sui. Today's saints live in the palace of the eastern capital, although it is still called the palace, but the regulation and scale have surpassed Chang'an.

Looking back at the things in the carriage, whether the husband can go home safe or not depends on these things. I don't know how the husband's little head grows, and he can also think of the things that the woman uses. When I think about my first encounter, my ignorant expression is hot on my face.

Yun Hao was forced to run away, and it was the current saint who announced that he had entered Luoyang. Therefore, the only ones who can lift the ban are the saints of today. However, there are exceptions to everything, and although the saint of today controls the world, no one dares to compete with him, and he is a real golden dragon. But don't forget, there is also a golden phoenix entrenched in this eastern capital.

Empress Xiao, a descendant of the royal family of the Southern Dynasty. It is said that he was born as beautiful as a flower and was dignified and atmospheric, and he was even more clever in managing the harem. Yang Guang's huge harem does not have a trace of discordant voice. It is said that most of the people who want to speak out are underground. Luoyang peony is delicate, and the peony in the palace is called the treasure of the country. But according to some old palace people who left the palace, it was because they had eaten too many beauties.

Peony! It's a man-eating flower!

This time, through the relationship of the Li family. Finally caught up with the chamberlain in the palace who thought he had the final say, and he promised to introduce Zhang Miaoke into the palace to meet the queen. As an expense, of course. There were ten hectares of land on the edge of Chang'an, so he took the surname of the servant.

Although he was anxious, the speed of the ox cart was really not complimentary. After walking on the road for more than half a month, it was only then that Luoyang City was reached.

"I don't know how Ah Lang is now, why did you say that a good saint was called into the palace. It's all the trouble caused by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and all kinds of troubles start with literacy! Opposite Zhang Miaoke sat Xin'er, this girl was very familiar with the whole road. As soon as he returned to Jinyang from Luoyang, he was pulled back to Luoyang by the housewife. Along the way, he explained the customs to Zhang Miaoke, which can be regarded as a little relief from the boredom of the journey.

"Madame, don't worry, our family will not suffer anywhere. Let's just say that our ox cart is not available in Luoyang City and the mansion of the prince of the idle prince's mansion. You see that the road is so rough, have we ever broken this car? And it's not too bumpy, you don't know. When the slave maid took this car back to Jinyang, a wealthy steward came to inquire about it, saying that it was not for sale. If it is rice, grain and silver money, as long as it has a price, it is easy to discuss. ”

"You Nizi, you'll change the subject. I was talking about Ah Lang when you brought him to the ox cart again. That's it! Maybe if you get it this time, you don't have to float outside. Zhang Miaoke sighed faintly, and the ox cart also drove into the wide gate of Luoyang City at the same time.

***************************************************************************************************************************

It was also a hot day, and Yun Hao didn't have such a good treatment. Zhang Miaoke carried saltpeter with the car, and the ice would come out on its own the next day. Yun Hao left in a hurry, where did he have time to bring saltpeter. Li Er and Chai Shao are also brainless, or they didn't expect it. Sitting in a car can still be cooled with ice, so it is bitter Yun Dashao.

The outside temperature can blanch the eggs, and the car can almost steam the steamed buns. Let Hou Junji buy the fan, he is too lazy to fan at all. Even if it's fanned, it's hot air, and fanning it will make you sweaty, sticky, not to mention uncomfortable. Damn, you might as well not use it.

"Second master, don't rush. It's going to die! Yun Hao finally couldn't stand it anymore, and lay on the carriage board with a red face. Hou Junji poured light salt water on him like watering flowers, and his stomach was bulging. As soon as it moves, there is a sound of water, "grunt" and "grunt".

Li Er was still riding on a horse yesterday, and he couldn't stand the heat today. Got into Yun Hao's carriage, this day is also evil. It was as hot as a steamer, and there was not a trace of wind. It was as if God was going to steam everything in the world.

"Second brother, it looks like we'd better find a place to stay. Every day, after sunset, we will walk and stay in the hotel when the sun comes out. If this is the case, people will not be able to stand the animals. Some people have already started to suffer from heat stroke today, and if they continue to travel like this, I am afraid that horses will not be able to do it. "Chai Shao, like Li Er, is in order to take care of Feng Yi. The clothes on his body are still meticulous, which looks like Yun Hao. Wearing a pair of big pants, lying on the carriage board in a large shape. I can't wait to take off all this skin!

"It seems that this is the only way, if you meet a town in front of you, you will stay. Stay until the evening, when the weather gets cooler. "Li Er is a kind person, as soon as he heard Chai Shao's suggestion, he immediately adopted it. In fact, Li Ershu reads military books. In Sun Tzu's Art of War, there is a special chapter on marching. If you march in the scorching heat, you can only go out by day and night.

Coincidentally, as soon as Li Er finished speaking, a town appeared in front of him. The name is also peculiar, Niutian Town!

There is only one small inn in this Niutian town, called Niujia Old Shop. When Hou Junji asked to stay in the hotel, the old shopkeeper with a white beard said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this master." The small shop was chartered by a guest, and the guest said that it was inconvenient to bring a female dependent. A few of them are still looking for other homes to spend the night, light! ”

The old shopkeeper saw that this group of people was armed with guns and knives, and he spoke politely. Just refused unequivocally, Hou Junji was immediately angry. Lao Tzu doesn't need money to eat restaurants in the city, so come to eat in your poor countryside...... Belch...... No, you dare to fucking refuse to accept it if you live in a hotel?

"Old fellow, brighter your moves. Hurry up and get the people out of the inn and let my second master stay in. Otherwise, you will come by yourself. When I left, I demolished your inn. Hou Junji grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper, and the tip of his nose almost touched the old guy's head. The hot breath from his nose was spraying on the old man's face.

"This young master, although our town is small, it is also an official ......"

"Your mother is big, no matter how big an official you are, you can't look at it enough in the eyes of you." Hou Junji came up and pushed the old shopkeeper to the ground. With a shout, some soldiers rushed inside. This inn is not big enough, and all the people brought by Li Er are too crowded to live in, where can anyone else live. Seeing that Li Er and Yun Hao's carriage was about to arrive at the entrance of the town, they couldn't do this little thing, how to explain it to the boss.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw several black-clothed warriors. On a hot day, they still practiced martial arts in the courtyard with a bamboo sword in their hands. When you see someone breaking in, you don't look good. The two sides barely said anything, and in an instant they were in one place.

They are all veterans who have survived a hundred battles, and they are all first-class good players in the battle array. Seeing that the opponent was holding a bamboo sword in his hand, he immediately carried a horizontal knife and a scabbard to fight against him. But as soon as I got started, I found that these guys' bamboo swords were superb. Several guards underestimated the enemy, and actually suffered a big loss.

Hou Junji hit him firmly on the cheek, and he jumped on the spot in pain. My feet were lame, and I didn't know if my bones were broken.

In a hurry, a whistle sounded. The killers immediately drew their horizontal swords, and the samurai were not to be outdone. With a greeting, several more people rushed out of the room. Several of them were shirtless, carrying bright horizontal knives in their hands. However, looking at the style, it seems to be different from Hou Junji's.

The courtyard immediately "clanged", and it was impossible for Hou Junji to stop it at this time.

"Stop!" A loud shout sounded like a muffled thunder in the courtyard, and the fighting soon stopped. Those black-clothed warriors lined up into a wall with horizontal knives in their hands, looking at the guards in front of them vigilantly.

Behind the black-clad warriors stood three men, two men and one woman. When Hou Junji saw the three people, he was stunned and almost speechless. "Mr. Li!" Seeing that the other party was Li Jing, Hou Junji immediately beckoned his subordinates to put away their blades. Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian once rescued Chai Shao and Hou Junji on the way to escape, and Hou Junji naturally recognized them.

"You are the ...... of the Tang State Mansion" Li Jing looked at Hou Junji with a familiar face, but he couldn't call his name.

"Jinyang stayed in the mansion Hou Junji, I have seen Mr. Li!" Hou Junji hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute!

Li Jing looked at the field, just for a while. There are already a few people in the field who have seen blood, all of them are veterans who have been swordsmanship for many years. It's almost a killing move, and now it's a blessing that there are no two ends lying on the ground.

"Why did you suddenly break in, do you think my steel knife is not good!" Zhang Zhongjian saw that two of his men were injured, and said a little unkindly. The people who stayed in Jinyang were considered birds, and Lao Tzu had not killed officials. It's almost to the boundary of Shandong, as long as you cross Shandong. When he got on the boat on the beach, that was his Zhang Zhongjian's world.

"My second master and Chai Daguan passed by here and wanted to rest, how did you know that you are also here. Misunderstand! It's all a misunderstanding! Hou Junji knew Li Jing's energy, and his and Chai Shao's lives could be said to have been saved by Li Jing and the bearded giant. According to Chai Shao's character, he must have given three points in case of trouble. Today, if you are like Meng Lang today, you will definitely be punished when you go back.

"Misunderstanding! That's not what you just said, you said you were going to get rid of all these guests. He also said that even if you report to the official, you are not afraid. The white-bearded old shopkeeper climbed behind the low wall just now, and now he sees Hou Junji confessing. Immediately stood up, pinched his waist and pointed at Hou Junji. Looking at that posture, I really want to return the mouth that Hou Junji "spitted" at him just now!

"You're ......!" Hou Junji didn't dare to argue with the old shopkeeper because Li Jing and the bearded guest were in front of him, but his eyes were enough to kill the old guy.

"How is the little old man? Are you easy to mess with the little old man? also said that Lao Tzu's shop was demolished, and you inquired about it. I, Zhang Laoga, what kind of person is in this generation. Brother Tong, your uncle is going to let people bully him to death. Help me! When the old shopkeeper saw Hou Junji's murderous eyes, he was immediately frightened and ran into the back house.

This inn is divided into front and back houses, and the front house is naturally a shop. There is a house where guests live, and the back house is the small courtyard where the shopkeeper lives. One main room and two side rooms only.

The old shopkeeper Zhang Laoga's mouth is the foreign name of Wunanzhuang, Dong'e County, Yunzhou, and his surname is Junda. Zhang Laoga's wife is the nurse of this Youtong. It is also thanks to You Tong's love when he was a child, that he Zhang Laoga can be regarded as buying this family business. You Tong happened to come to visit the nurse today, and now someone is calling the door, Zhang Laoga naturally wants to find this special person to go out.

Hou Junji didn't take this old man from the countryside in his eyes, but just thought about how to explain it to Li Jing. If Li Jing and the bearded giant man sue Li Er for a while, it will be bad.

Just thinking about it, all of a sudden there was a sound of footsteps in the backyard. A giant man ran out of the shade of the alley, his eyebrows were straight, and his eyes were shining. The pimple face is full of strange flesh, and the sloppy mouth shows its fangs. Tired cheeks with pale red beard, long and short hair fluffy behind the ears. Rough temperament, like pig iron;

Cunning figure, but like stubborn copper. is really a straight man, you must know that he is not an idler. Carrying a long-handled battle axe in his hand, he had to have eighty pounds if he didn't have a hundred pounds.

A roar like a tiger, "Who the hell dares to make trouble here, eat my old Cheng with an axe." ”

***************************************************************************************************************************

Zhang Miaoke entered the imperial city tremblingly, and the huge gate of the palace seemed to be taller than the gate of Jinyang. This is the absolute power center of the Great Sui Dynasty. The golden dragon that could only measure hugely, and the golden phoenix that danced with the phoenix for nine days was entrenched in it.

Worriedly looking at the car pulling gifts behind him, Zhang Miaoke walked in with a heart.
