178 Gengoku, Kyoto.

Shichimori Street is one of the most prosperous places in Kyoto. Tea houses and taverns are lined with teahouses and taverns on both sides of the street, and there are many small vendors with large umbrellas shouting loudly in the open space. There is an endless stream of pedestrians who come and go, and there are many people who stop to enjoy the scenery of the Bian River on the street, among which there are many rich businessmen and officials dressed in silk and satin, forming a bustling flow of people. One end of the street is connected to the imperial city, and the other end is a long road outside the city, and in less than three or two hours, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish this street.

On the street, a young man in gorgeous clothes, dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, tied with a jade belt around his waist, holding an ivory folding fan, his long hair neatly tied up in a delicate white jade crown. The chin is slightly raised, the eyes are like stars, the bridge of the nose is quite proud, and he is not very old, but he has a good temperament. Rao is used to seeing all kinds of characters in Kyoto, and many passers-by have sideways glances, secretly guessing which noble son this is.

It's just that at this time, the little boy frowned slightly, and he walked confidently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Qian, you wait for me, wait for me."

In the distance, a young girl followed, wearing a fine pink pleated satin skirt, with a pretty face, running with a skirt in small steps, shouting to the little boy in front of her, with a hint of coquettishness in her words.

Not far behind the girl was followed by a group of servants, with preserved snacks and all kinds of fun things in their hands, which she thought was the result of her strolling all the way. Clear-eyed people have already seen that this girl is the youngest daughter of Sima Chengfu, Sima Xuan, the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty. Then the little boy in front of her who followed had a few quick brains had already recognized it, and she wanted to take a closer look.

"This Kyoto is much more boring than I thought." Gao Xun walked in front and thought about how to get rid of the clingy eldest lady behind him. Hearing the shouts calling for him, he sighed and stopped to turn back.

Sima Xuan, who slowly ran closer, stood still in front of Gao Xun, pouted and looked at Gao Xun and said, "Don't go so fast."

"Ah, the sun is really poisonous today." Gao Xun ignored Sima Xuan's complaints, opened the folding fan, and said to her like a nobody, "We've been shopping for a long time, why don't I send you back to the house first, and I'll go shopping with you another day." As if to confirm what he said, he shook the fan in his ear.

"Nope! I haven't had enough of it, and I haven't been to that jewelry store in a long time. You are not allowed to leave, but my eldest brother asked you to stay with me today. Sima Xuan stomped her foot, pulling Gao Xun's sleeve and refusing to let go.

Street corner? I don't know how long it will be! Gao Xun looked up at the long street that was not in sight, and secretly scolded himself, regretting that he shouldn't have taken Sima Xuan out alone.

Sima Xuan saw that Gao Xun's face sank, and he was afraid that he was really tired of shopping, so he hurriedly said: "If Brother Xun is tired, we can find a place to rest first." I know that there is a teahouse not far ahead, and the osmanthus cake in it is delicious, so we can go up there and sit there. ”

Gao Xun saw Sima Xuan looking at him expectantly, thinking that he could only rest for a while, maybe he could find a chance to slip away in the teahouse, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay." ”

But before the two of them had taken a few steps, they heard one of them shouting, "Someone has stolen money!" Someone is stealing money! ”

There were many people around not far from the voice, Sima Xuan was a lively person, and when he saw what was happening, he hurriedly pulled Gao Xun into the crowd.

It turned out that it was an old man selling vegetables who shouted loudly, and at this moment his vegetable stall was surrounded by people, and there was a woman in white standing in front of the stall. The old man was dressed in sackcloth and looked very simple, his hand was tightly pulling the sleeve of a middle-aged man, and explained to the people who heard the voice: "Just now this girl is buying vegetables from me, I really see it, this thief went from the girl to her money bag, and now this money bag must still be hidden on him!" Look at me and I don't search" While the old man was distracted, the middle-aged man who was pulled pulled out of the old man's hand with all his strength pulled his sleeves out of the old man's hand, and ran away.

The crowd was in a panic, and many women shouted at the top of their voices: "Hurry, catch that thief!" ”

Gao Xun had no intention of getting involved in these troubles, but Sima Xuan, who was standing beside him, was very indignant when he saw it: "There is such a thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven in broad daylight!" Brother Qian, you have powerful fists and feet, can you go and catch that villain! As he spoke, he hurriedly tugged at Gao Xun's sleeve.

Since you have been bumped into by yourself, how can you not catch it? I can only blame myself for not going out today. Although Gao Xun was reluctant, he threw the folding fan in his hand into Sima Xuan's hand, but he still pulled away and chased after the thief.

Sima Xuan was right, Gao Xun's good fists and feet were thought to be comparable to few people in Kyoto, and after a while, he caught the thief from not far away and returned to the old man's vegetable stall. Gao Xun grabbed the thief's arm with one hand, and groped with him with the other, and then took out a plain money bag from the thief's sleeve. He walked up to the woman in white who had been stolen with the money bag, stretched out his hand and said, "Reads;." Girl, is this your purse? ”

"Yes." The woman nodded slightly, her face was as calm as water, "Thank you, Son" Seeing that her money bag was stolen, she didn't panic? Gao Xun was a little curious and wanted to take a closer look at her. It's just that before she finished speaking, she didn't expect the thief who stole the money bag to take advantage of Gao Xun's inattention, took out a bright knife from his sleeve and stabbed him at his right wrist, and there was suddenly a bloody wound on his white wrist. Many women in the crowd screamed in fear when they saw the blood. Gao Xun felt a tingling pain, his right hand loosened, and the man took the opportunity to run away again.

Secretly scolding himself for being careless, he would be hurt by this despicable thief. Gao Xun clenched his fists, put away his relaxed look, and kicked on the thief who didn't run a few steps, this kick used all his strength, and the thief fell to the ground alive and was no longer able to get up. Seeing this, everyone also gathered around and began to curse the thief in a few words.

"Ask brother, ask brother, are you okay? Yes! You're bleeding! When Gao Xun turned around, Sima Xuan was running in a hurry, just now she heard the sound of the fight and was worried to death, but she couldn't squeeze into the crowd, and when she saw Gao Xun's injured hand speaking, she was even more faintly crying, and she didn't know what to do.

"I'm fine, it's just a minor injury." This injury is really nothing to Gao Xun, and kicking the thief can be regarded as relieving the anger of being sneak attacked. Xu was to comfort Sima Xuan, who was about to cry, Gao Xun waved his right hand to indicate that his hand was fine, but although the wound was not deep, the entire right hand was covered with blood and looked terrible.

"Childe, thank you Childe for snatching back the money bag for me." It turned out that the woman in white also followed, her eyes fell on Gao Xun's injured hand, paused slightly, and said, "Childe's injury should not wait for a long time. The little girl knows a little about medicine, and if the son is willing, she can go to my hospital to bandage her. The voice is soft and quiet, which is very consistent with her elegant and dusty temperament.

Gao Xun glanced at Sima Xuan, who was pestering him, turned around with some shrewd eyes, didn't know what to think, squinted slightly, and said, "Okay, please lead the way in front of the girl." ”

After speaking, he opened his mouth and said to Sima Xuan beside him: "Sima Xuan, you see that my hand is injured like this, so naturally I can't continue to accompany you shopping." As for you, go home today. Seeing that Sima Xuan seemed to want to say something more, Gao Xun said again: "You also saw that my hand was bleeding so much, if you miss the time to treat the injury, I don't know what will go wrong in the future, you don't want anything wrong with my hand, right?" ”

"I don't want to" Sima Xuan seemed to be really frightened, and said in a daze.

Gao Xun took advantage of the opportunity to hurriedly say to several servants behind her: "You guys, don't send your young lady back to the house quickly." Several little guys nodded again and again, and finally led Sima Xuan to turn around and go home.

The onlookers gradually dispersed, but the chatter on the street still did not stop.

"Did you see that? The boy who caught the thief is really handsome! ”

"I've seen it, I've seen it, that skill must not be the son of an ordinary family."

"What are you two thinking about here, haven't you seen it yet? That's the three princes who led their troops back to Beijing a few days ago! ”

"You're not mistaken? How could His Royal Highness the Third Prince catch thieves on this street? ”

"Why not? Seeing that the owner of the money bag is also a great beauty, maybe His Royal Highness the Third Prince is thinking of heroes to save beauty. ”

"Yes, yes, if I had seen Bao Zhun earlier, I would have helped go up and grab it."

"Just you? Don't think about it."

……

Gao Xun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the slender white back in front of him, raised his thin lips slightly, and followed.
