Chapter 47: Into the City
It gets dark early in winter, and the sky gets dark quickly. At the third moment of Shen Zheng, all the gates of Shen'an City held lights at the same time, and the bright lights dispelled the darkness, shrouding Shen'an City in bright lights, becoming a divine light between the dark world and the world.
The 12 gates of Shen'an City have been closed all night for more than 30 years, just like the lights in many places in the city all night long, echoing each other from afar, showing the strength and stability of the Chinese dynasty.
They waited here for a quarter of an hour, and the long dragon outside the Anhua Gate was finally digested by Shen'an City.
Anhua Gate calmed down, after the official nightfall, there will be very few people to enter the city, and now it is the easternmost doorway that is starting to get busy. The easternmost doorway is dedicated to going out, and it is a doorway that is busy during the day and at night.
The central doorway was closed, and the soldiers assigned by the old chief to the central doorway arranged for the night to go home to rest.
Before leaving, he also tried to go to the westernmost doorway and suggested that Du Xinran let Xu Heng and his party enter the city, Du Xinran was already a little shaken at this moment, but was rejected by Xu Heng, there must be no one in the palace of King Qi at this time, he was not in a hurry to enter the city.
Compared to returning to the empty Qi Palace, he was more interested in the young chief in front of him.
The arrangement of the young chief is different, he guards it during the day, and it seems that he guards it at night, and the soldiers on the other city gates have almost all changed, and he still stays at the post. It's just a little free.
In the carriage, Su Su and Chen Changsheng were meditating and practicing, Xu Zhen experienced an experience in Wuhua Mountain, realized the difference in his martial arts, and practiced with great energy, knowing that he would stay at the city gate for a while, he got out of the carriage, sat next to Pu Feng, and whispered to ask for advice on difficult problems in practice.
Jiang Zuo was still asleep without eating or drinking.
Only Shangguan Tingxue couldn't stay idle, he felt too bored to stay in the carriage, and he felt that the game was boring when he practiced internal skills like them, so he got out of the carriage early, sat beside Xu Heng, and looked at the magnificent Shen'an City.
"Brother, brother, is there really a god in Shen'an City?"
"Brother, brother, is Shen'an City bigger than Xijing City?
"Brother, brother, I heard others say that there is a real dragon in Shen'an City, is the emperor really a dragon?"
……
After being told that he couldn't run around, Shangguan listened to Xue and sat beside Xu Heng obediently, blinking his eyes and asking some questions that he couldn't understand. Some of the questions are very simple, some are very naïve, and some are difficult to say, but Xu Heng is very patient to answer the girl one by one, whether it is to say two jokes that circulate in Shen'an City, which makes the little girl giggle.
"Brother, brother, do you think your father will like me as a goddaughter?" The little girl leaned on Xu Heng's arms and asked this question in a low voice, which made Xu Heng's heart tremble. He discovered a mistake of his own.
Along the way, he just thought that Su Su came to his house to see his father and brother, and he might have pressure in his heart, completely ignoring that it was the girl in his arms who should be more concerned.
After this period of contact, Xu Heng found that although Shangguan Tingxue was very cheerful and didn't care about anything on the outside, he was very eager for true feelings in his heart.
Her obsession with her family is not ordinary, Jiang Zuo, Yang Shen, her current self, Su Su, and other people who are recognized by her, she has given all her trust, and there is no idea that others may plot against her.
It is also said that he himself had ulterior motives in accepting Shangguan Tingxue as his righteous sister - in order to avoid a scourge in the future - but after further contact, he began to like this innocent girl from the bottom of his heart.
And in the process of dating, he also found out that this girl actually had a secret connection with his family, so he took the girl home, met with his father, and officially accepted the girl into the family.
Xu Heng heard the girl's implicitly nervous whisper to herself at this time, Xu Heng stretched out his hand and hugged the girl's shoulder: "Don't worry, Tingxue is so cute, I will definitely like your daughter~"
The girl who received an affirmative answer smiled a shallow pear vortex on her lips, and her small face looked very cute in the light. The girl hugged Xu Heng and said happily: "I like my brother the most!"
"Ahem, and Childe, the night is cold, let's take Miss Su and Miss Tingxue back to the house, so as not to be infected with the wind cold. I have been waiting at the house for a long time. At this moment, a respectful voice came, interrupting the warm scene between the brother and sister.
As soon as Xu Heng heard the voice, he knew who was coming, and when he turned his head, a young man was looking at him with a smile, he was wearing a navy blue brocade robe, boots of the same color, and a tie of the same color was tied on his hair, fluttering down behind him, the whole person could be called suave and uninhibited.
It's just that the smile on his face is getting more and more unhappy in Xu Heng's eyes.
But there are people who are faster than he says.
"Master Heng, why didn't you just reveal your identity when that kid stopped you?
Along with the navy blue dressed man, there were two other people who came to the carriage, the bearded man in sharp armor was Li Chongjiu, the centurion in charge of Anhuamen. This one had already gone home, and he was pulled out of his house by the Tsing Yi chief of the Qi Palace, and ran to Anhuamen without saying a word, and when he got closer, he understood what was happening.
Du Xinran actually stopped the Heng Gongzi of the Qi Palace!
How could he stop the people from the Qi Palace?! Li Chongjiu was really bitter in his heart, no matter what Heng Gongzi did, it was Du Xinran's fault that he waited outside the city gate for so long!
As he spoke, the man who was still sitting in the carriage on the other side did not react, and the chief of the palace who had a normal appearance and a bad interior also whispered in Heng Gongzi's ear. Li Chongjiu became more and more worried in his heart:
- This kid can really cause trouble for himself anywhere!
Li Chongjiu couldn't wait to press his head and kowtow to Heng Gongzi to admit his mistake, but Yu Guang glanced at Shi Chang's side, and as soon as he saw that stubborn face, he dispelled that thought. If he really did this, don't look at himself as his brother-in-law, Du Xinran estimated that he would turn his face with him on the spot.
But looking at the appearance of the person opposite, he couldn't be partial if he wanted to be partial, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, grabbed his brother-in-law's neck, dragged him to the front, and was about to press down, forcing him to bow his head and bend down to apologize to Heng Gongzi.
But he obviously understood what Xu Heng meant, the reason why Xu Heng didn't answer for so long was because he was secretly communicating with Xu Jian, the head of the family, and the situation of the two people in front of him was made clear in a moment.
Seeing that Li Chongjiu wanted to use strength, Xu Heng made a look, Xu Bojian got up and fell, and took Du Xinran from Li Chongjiu's hands. The sudden disappearance of the brother-in-law in his hand made Li Chongjiu stunned, only to hear Heng Gongzi on the other side say: "This matter is right, it is my negligence, Master Li does not have to blame himself." ”
"But if you really feel guilty in your heart, please don't blame Brother Ling. ”
