Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Pingjing Chapter 31 One Thing Descends One Thing
There are thousands of people passing under the busy Anding Gate every day, as a giant city that can accommodate a million people, there are as many as seven such city gates, the former name is only known to the older generation, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he changed the name in a unified manner, Anding, Wuding, Yuanding, Wending, four gates are located in the east and west, north and south, and take the small Xuanmen, Guangtong Gate, Changsheng Gate as a special pass, there are six middle gates in the imperial city, four inner gates, the majesty of a giant city can only be seen from the seventeen city gates inside and outside.
The two carriages stopped on the side of the road, several men and women got out of the car, looking at this magnificent landscape that I don't know what words to describe, I can only use a special way to vent the shock of my heart, squatting under the tree with a poplar branch in my hand on the ground inexplicably, raising my head to cover the whole scene from the bottom up, like a farmer in the city who came out of the countryside, there are both impulses and fears in my heart, as if the tall city gate is the mouth of the Lord of Yama, and the bottom is not visible.
"It's finally here, it's worthy of being a world-famous ancient capital, and even the breath is different. Su Wen took a deep breath, commented decently, and looked at the energetic guards of the forbidden army outside the city gate, all of them with big shoulders and round waists, and powerful martial arts, compared to those soldiers in the southern city who only held spears to show off their might to the people, it was a world of difference.
"Hehe, what do you care about Fu Danyang, Aunt Fuqin, you have the ability to come here to find trouble with me! My brother is a serious prince of eight hundred, and only Lao Tzu beats people here. Su Wen also felt what a fox fake tiger might be, but these words were just majestic in front of Qigui and Hu Xiancao.
"Young master, the gold and silver mountains you saw in Mu Changshou's basement that day, why don't you just catch a few handfuls, I listened to it all the way, even if you save money every day in Kyoto, you have to cut out ten taels of silver, not to mention the change of household registration and a sum of money, if you are admitted to the school, you can save it, but now it is not as good as in Cangzhou, I can't starve you to death if I work hard, the key is that there are so many more people, especially this big fool, who eats more than cattle, and there is not much left of our little belongings to find a place to live, how can we live in the future!" Qigui wrinkled his little face, others looked at this majestic Pingjing City, and their hearts were filled with infinite heroism and opportunities to soar, but in his heart, he was paving the way with that ingot of silver, and the steps had to be big, even if it was an egg, it was not enough to walk around Kyoto.
The atmosphere that Su Wen had finally brewed was completely extinguished by Qigui's words to the Ice Valley, and said in a deep voice with a dark face: "Qigui, we are no longer the short-sighted countrymen we used to be, we must pay attention to our identity, don't always mention money, cheesy." β
Qigui snorted, silently hid to the side, groped out a few silver tickets and a few scattered silver taels from his arms, and counted them over and over again as if he would never get tired of them, and he didn't see when he could get an extra one.
"I've seen enough, if I don't go in again, I'm going to sleep on the streets tonight, although the imperial examination ended a few days ago, but everyone is waiting for the list, I'm afraid that there will be more relatives than scholars who take the exam. Lu Xing said with a smile, his expression was not moved by the only majestic scene in the world.
Although the imperial examination is over, but these scholars who seek fame are not idle, and they have to go to the major high-ranking officials' mansions to bother two sentences, even after the end of the list, there are still a large number of people who do not give up and deliver their famous thorns to the Guozijian, hoping to get which adult's blue eyes are added, and they have been a protΓ©gΓ© for a year and a half, and there is a way to find it in the coming year.
It's just that before they could leave, they saw a line of forbidden troops coming out of the city gate, wearing purple and black armor, looking extraordinary, unusual soldiers, especially the leading general, full of blood, a pair of tiger eyes blazing, I am afraid that it is a warrior of good rank, and the other party is walking towards them and his group with a purpose.
"Xu is dwarf knows that I am coming, hehe, this posture should really let the Fuqin lady see, he failed to kill me in Huangshi Mountain, and he has no chance when he arrives in Kyoto. Su Wen boasted to Hu Xiancao with a smug mouth, but the other party only responded to him with a clear impatient look, so he had to close his mouth.
I saw the general in front of him, unfolding the drawing paper in his hand, Su Wen glanced at it, and saw that it was not himself, and hurriedly pointed to himself and said, "That's right, it's me." β
The general's eyes were full of surprise, and he carefully measured the scroll and the other party back and forth a few times, then nodded affirmatively, and shouted violently: "Sure enough, it's you, come! Take it for me." β
The long knife of the forbidden army behind him was unsheathed, and the blade of the sword was on Su Wen's neck between breaths, a set of skillful tightness, not giving him the slightest room for resistance, and when he came back to his senses, a pair of shackles made of fine iron were firmly buckled on his wrist.
"What's the situation, I'm Su asked, Chen Maochuan is my brother. Su Wen shouted in surprise, and even carried Chen Maochuan out.
However, the general smiled coldly, almost pasted the drawing paper in his hand in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you are not Su Wen, you can see clearly, this is a document issued by the Holy Lord himself, and it is you who is arrested." β
"This official, is there any misunderstanding. Su Wen's tone softened, and he finally understood why Tan Junzi always put the phrase that the people do not fight with the officials on his lips, looking at the neat and uniform armor, sometimes it is not that you don't have that ability, but that you have less confidence in your heart.
Hu Xiancao and the others were gloating on the side without heart or lungs, and chuckled lightly: "Yo, didn't you say that when you arrived in Kyoto, only you, Young Master Su, beat people? β
The general swept his eyebrows at a few people, especially Lu Xing, who stopped for a few breaths, subconsciously took a few steps back, and the famous knife in his hand was unsheathed by half an inch.
"What do you have to do with him? β
"It's just peers, not familiar. Hu Xiancao said repeatedly, completely ignoring Su Wen's grinning face.
Su Wen wanted to struggle, but heard Lu Xing's forced line into a sound, "You don't have to act rashly, after all, Pingjing here, everything is according to the rules, you follow them and suffer at most, but if you resist, there are not a few people who can kill you on the spot." β
Su Wen, who wanted to cry without tears, remembered the complaint made in Huangshi Mountain that day, how could Li Zaixiao and Chen Maochuan enter Beijing with such a huge momentum, that is, the time-honored brand that has lived in Pingjing for several generations has never seen the Purple Armor Forbidden Army go outside the city to arrest people, and there is an endless stream of Anding Men, everyone has stopped and watched, on this day, Su Wen's name is destined to become a conversation for the people of the capital after Chen Maochuan.
"General, those people just now are clearly related to him, why don't you take them with you. An adjutant stepped forward.
The commander of the Purple Armor Forbidden Army turned around and quietly alerted a few times, until he walked through the city gate, he unconsciously gave birth to a sense of relief, and at this moment, when he heard the other party's reminder, a nameless fire surged up.
"Do you think Lao Tzu has a long life, just now that person estimated that it was possible to stay only if a few worshippers in the palace came forward, I am just a martial artist in the realm of enlightenment, and there are a few lives that are enough, and since the order given by the top is to arrest Su Wen, why bother to find yourself uncomfortable. β
The adjutant listened to the cold sweat, and then turned back to find the simple man, but he had long since disappeared, he didn't know what the strength of the few worshippers in the palace was, the only thing that was clear was that Prime Minister Li asked for a decree to clear the rivers and lakes, some said that it was a fish that slipped through the net, but in fact, it was not a famous grandmaster figure, and it was undoubtedly a fantasy to find Li Jucheng to take revenge, so they all moved their eyes to the young emperor Chen Maoyu, who was only ten years old, but now the saint is still in power in the court, but in those days, one or two bloody human heads were hung on the gate of Xiaoxuanmen, and even women and children could point to those heads and call out one after another, naturally, they are not philistine.
Unconsciously stuck out his tongue, sure enough, the ignorant was fearless, and the one who knew knelt on the spot, almost walking on the ghost gate.
Temper to temper, seeing that Su Wen was taken away, Hu Xiancao was also panicked, thinking that there was no mistake with Lu Xing, and there was no reaction from beginning to end when he wanted to get the other party.
"You just let them take people away. Qigui was the first to speak, and if Lu Xing hadn't held him down, he would have raised his fist and hit it.
"The status of the Purple Armor Forbidden Army in the defenders of Kyoto is comparable to that of Wei Wushu in the Northern Wei Army, guarding the imperial city, and rarely going out of the palace, but today it is not common for Su Wen to go out of the city to arrest people as soon as he settles down. Lu Xing said softly.
Qigui had a dark face, his eyes were terrifying, and he clearly did not accept the other party's unclear words, "It doesn't matter if he is often uncommon, I only know that the young master has arrested them, and even the cell in Nancheng is so scary, this Kyoto is worth it, if my young master has anything long, I can't spare you." β
"Even if you come to me then, you will follow me honestly from now on, otherwise your young master will be fine, and you will lose your life first. Lu Xing didn't bother anymore, Li Zaixiao and Chen Maochuan imprisoned Kyoto, Su Wen just got off the horse, and the Purple Armor Forbidden Army came to arrest him, and what he held in his hand was still the edict written by the saint, this scene can't help but go too far! Su Chengyun is it possible that you are really betting that I will kill in Kyoto for an apprentice, then you have miscalculated this time.
Two figures in the distance took this scene into their eyes, and Qicai, who was not dressed and talked like a servant, but who was a servant, pursed his lips and said, "Young master, you waited for that guy for three months, but you didn't even see him." β
And next to him, Mo Xiuyuan, who was still dressed in sackcloth, just had the raw flower pen in his hand that had not yet been returned, and he didn't know when he had learned from its previous owner to turn his fingertips absurdly, "That's it, since he has already entered the city, then there is no reason for me to continue to stay here, there are still many people waiting, no, I Mo Xiuyuan doesn't like to make people wait." β
Looking at the young master who stepped out, Qicai twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, it was clear that he didn't like to wait for talents, when he was in the Holy Maiden Peak, because a holy woman came late with half a stick of incense, he bullied others in the name of learning, and he had a good face that captivated the country and the city, and he didn't dare to look in the mirror for most of the year, but now he waited for three whole months for that guy, but he didn't go to the city for Mo Xiuyuan, and the entire school would have to wait for him for three months, so Su Wen was better.
"Hehe, there is really a thing in this world!"
