It was close to noon, and the muck official road on the outskirts of the capital was scorched by the sun for half a day, showing a bit of summer heat. There is a row of weeping willows planted on the side of the road, and thousands of silk threads flutter in the wind, bringing a little coolness to the passers-by.

A few peddlers sat under the trees and whispered their guesses as to the identity of the group of people who slowly passed in front of them.

The group was all on a tall horse, and at the front was a heroic middle-aged man who opened the way, and at the back was accompanied by six or seven men with swords, and the three men who were surrounded in the middle were supposed to be the master's family.

At the front of the trio was a thin young man, riding a red horse, wearing a crimson flower arrow sleeve tassel gown, and wearing a white gauze curtain on his head, covering his face.

He was followed to the left and right by two horses, one black and one white, and immediately sat two young men, both in their early twenties.

The one on the black horse wore a golden crown of eight treasures and dragons, an indigo Hangzhou silk collar robe, a bright yellow silk silk tie around his waist, and a lantern tassel hanging down. The appearance is also handsome, but the expression is too cold and resolute, and the place where the wind sweeps is daunting.

The white horse looked much more amiable, he wore an eight-sided white jade crown, a straight collar of Tianshui blue satin, a jade belt around his waist, and a mutton fat white jade Pisces Jue fell on the hanging pine-colored silk, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, his eyes were bright, and the whole person was as warm and transparent as jade.

Even if they are as vulgar as these peddlers, they can see that the characters on these black and white horses are extraordinary. If they are said to be either rich or noble, but officials are not like officials, and businessmen are not like businessmen. The peddlers whispered for a long time, until the group was far away, and they did not guess what they could be.

These three people are indeed neither officials nor merchants, they are the three most noble figures in the Great Yan Dynasty.

According to the rules of the past years, on the day of the mid-year festival in the middle of July, the emperor will personally go to the Taimiao Temple in the south of the city to worship his ancestors. At present, the Emperor Taishang is in violation of harmony and needs to recuperate, and the major events of ancestor worship are naturally all represented by the new emperor. coincided with the eldest princess's wedding approaching, and the pearl of the emperor's palm was afraid that it would be difficult to have a chance to go out after getting married, so he begged his brother to take him with him.

Ancestor worship has become a trip, if it is just the emperor's decision to spoil the young sister, the officials have to make noise again, but fortunately this time it is the emperor who makes the decision, and no one will talk more.

The three princes Tan Wang accompanied together, after the three brothers and sisters completed the ancestor worship ceremony yesterday, they went to the western suburbs of the city to rest for a night at the will of the eldest princess, the eldest princess still felt that she had not had enough, and begged the two brothers to take her to abandon the guard of honor the next day, and only took a small number of Hu from the microsuit to ride back to the palace. That's when passers-by saw this scene.

The eldest princess of Taiheng, Bai Zhuojin, rode a jujube red horse, dressed as a man, covered her face with a curtain, and when she passed by a big willow tree, she folded a wicker and played with it, and sighed: "Why don't we mix until the evening and then turn around?" Once I go back, I won't have a chance to play again in my life. ”

Bai Yuanying, the king of Tan, lifted the reins of the white horse and followed the eldest princess to the side of the eldest princess, smiling like a warm spring breeze: "Look at what you said so pitifully, my father can not only allow me and my second brother to travel with you, but also allow the horse to accompany you, and you have a horse to accompany you, so you don't need to work with me and my second brother." ”

The eldest princess listened to him teasing him with a horse, but she was not shy, but pouted behind the curtain: "It's like a chore to accompany me out, don't you know that I begged my father for permission to let us come out to play this time, not only for myself, but also to let the second brother relax." He has been working on state affairs for a long time, and if I hadn't taken this opportunity to pull him out to play, he wouldn't have been able to take a break for a while. You're just a bare, what dare you complain about? Second brother, don't you say? ”

Bai Yuanchen, the current emperor riding a black horse, only slightly raised the corners of his lips in the face of his young sister's coquettish invitation, which was regarded as a smile back, and did not make a sound.

King Tan teased and said: "The second brother will accompany you to play this day, and you will have to step up the review and review at night, I'm afraid that I can't even sleep, what kind of errand do you think this is for him." Delay national events for your own fun, but you can still arrange such a selfless reason. ”

"Go, the second brother didn't say anything, I want you to talk more." The eldest princess sneered. The two brothers and sisters are talking back and forth, and neither of them is willing to admit defeat. The Emperor remained silent, often absent-minded.

The eldest princess was used to seeing the cold appearance of the second brother, and she didn't care. She likes to be close to her second brother since she was a child, and she doesn't like the third brother Tanwang's flamboyant tongue, but she also knows that it is boring to get along with this second brother alone, so she has to take the third brother to adjust.

I saw that outside the Fucheng Gate, there were people in and out of the city, and the closer I got to the door, the more congested it became.

Among them, even the lowest-ranking Jinyi Wei Qianhu was on a rampage when they entered and exited the city gate, and there was no reason to wait in line. However, Qiu Yu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who opened the way in front of him, knew that he was humble and sensitive, and he didn't like to oppress people, so he glanced at the emperor, and when he saw that he was slowing down his mount, Qiu Yu raised his right palm, signaled his subordinates to stop, and slowly moved forward after the civilians.

At the same time, Qiu Yu also prepared his waist card, turned around and glanced at the six thousand households behind, reminding them to pay attention to vigilance in this densely populated area.

The eldest princess couldn't wait to stay outside for a while, not in a hurry at all, at this time looking at the city gate, she sighed melancholy: "Although traveling is much more interesting than being bored in the palace, it is a pity that what I see and hear is almost the same every time, and I have never had any adventures." ”

King Tan came to quip again: "What kind of adventure do you want?" Did you meet a young lady who threw a hydrangea at the head of the building, and you dare to take it? ”

The eldest princess glanced at him: "It's the merry young master like you who thinks about other people's young ladies and girls all day long." What I'm pondering is that I have never met a wicked person doing evil on the street, and if we can meet a wicked man who robs people's girls, we will be better than the addiction of chivalry and righteousness. ”

"It can be seen that you have read too much of the script...... "King Tan was taunting, when he heard a commotion in front of him. The crowd in and out of the city panicked to the sides, and a carriage rushed out of the city gate. Seeing this, Qiu Yu and six of his subordinates immediately clasped their hands on the hilt of the saber.

The carriage rushed to them in the blink of an eye, and two men sat in front of the carriage to speed up the horses, not to startle the horses, but to deliberately break through the pass, to avoid the inspection of the officials guarding the city.

This matter seemed to have nothing to do with him, and Qiu Yu and the rest of the Jinyi guards were not prepared to take action. The eldest princess was bent on finding something to take care of, and immediately shouted with her eyes shining, "Stop them!" At the same time, he threw out his horsewhip and whipped at the man who was driving the car.

The thin and tall man in the car was in a hurry to get rid of the entanglement of the official, but he accidentally received a whip on his forehead, and he was immediately annoyed. The man had some effort in his hands, and when he raised his hand, he grabbed the whip and pulled it into his bosom with the force of the carriage.

The eldest princess, a sixteen-year-old girl, was much weaker than him, and although she let go in time, her body was still led towards the horse. The emperor's eyes were quick, and the ape arm reached out and pulled her sleeve and helped her to sit down again.

The carriage had already missed their side, and the thin and tall man was still unwilling to suffer the loss of this whip, so he cursed in his mouth, and threw the whip towards the eldest princess and the emperor with his backhand, and the emperor grabbed it in front of the eldest princess.

The emperor's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Hold them!" ”

Qiu Yu and several other Jinyi Wei masters were usually rampant, and the first-class officials in the court did not dare to provoke them, seeing that this little thief dared to do something to the master in front of them, they were all full of resentment, waiting for the master to speak.

Qiu Yu shouted like a thunderbolt, and led his subordinates to step forward, blocking the road, pulling and pulling, and stopped the carriage and surrounded it in the blink of an eye. The tall and thin man who drove the car and the beard beside him still wanted to resist, how could they be able to beat the few good players in the Fusi of Weibei Town, who were in Jinyi.

There was no need for Commander Qiu to do it himself, and the six thousand households under his command restrained him in three moves and two styles, and he couldn't move by holding his arms.

The officials guarding the city gate also shouted and chased after them, and a thousand households showed their waist cards to them at Qiu Yu's behest. The three words "Jinyi Wei" engraved on the beech waist card are terrifying, and the officials are solemn, and they are courteous, and they retreat to the side and do not intervene. The people who entered and left the city saw that there was a bustle to see, and soon gathered in a circle.

Tan Dynasty glanced around, and his face was slightly uneasy. With their identity, how can they be watched by so many idle people? These civilians can't recognize them, but they are likely to recognize those brocade guards, and it will not be difficult to figure out who their three main families are, and he doesn't want to be casually talked about by these ants. But since it was the second brother's order, he had no words.

The eldest princess did not care about this, and urged the horse to the carriage with great interest, and said, "You two wicked people are sneaky, there must be something strange in this carriage." Lord Qiu, quickly check it out for me! ”

Qiu Yu answered, raised his hand to open the mullioned car door, pulled the curtain of the car, and a woman in a white dress with a cloth bag on her upper body in the car was clearly presented.

King Tan raised his eyebrows, and was surprised, Zhuo Jin's words came true, and they really met the strongman who kidnapped the woman of a good family.

The eldest princess laughed "ha", and she was almost ready to go. She thought thoughtfully, and didn't let Qiu Yu do it, but gestured to the servant girl who was accompanying her. The maidservant was an aunt in her twenties, dressed as a man, and had to be ordered to dismount and lean in and help the woman out.

The tall and thin man shouted, "What are you doing?" This is my family's escaped maid, and my lord ordered me to take her back immediately, so as not to delay before breaking through the city gate. Which of the yamen are you, who have come to obstruct our errand without cause? ”

The eldest princess took back the horsewhip from the emperor's hand and shook it in her hand: "Really? I'll ask this girl and see if what you say is true. ”

The handmaid removed the rope and uncovered the pocket, revealing the man inside. Everyone only felt that their eyes were bright, but when they saw the white clothes and snow, their long hair was like a waterfall, although the bun was messed up a little, their faces were pale, and their expressions were a little hasty, but the beauty between their eyebrows and eyes was still obvious.

King Tan couldn't help but smile, and muttered in a low voice: "Yo, I'm still a beauty." ”

The eldest princess heard that the third brother had revealed her perverted nature again, and glanced at him with disdain.

The emperor didn't say a word, but when he looked at the woman, his eyebrows frowned slightly.
