Chapter 18: Enter the Door
There are four gates in the north city, and the east gate is now appearing in front of you.
That's where she got into the city that life.
"Miss, look, it's so big here." Jiang Ling lifted a corner curtain to greet her.
The curtain of the car was lifted abruptly, allowing the sunlight to pour in, and she shrank back as if she had been licked by a tongue of fire.
Don't look, don't look, what's so good about this, this is not her home, and there is no Yan'er here.
Xie Roujia looked around.
It is said that it looks desolate but it is only because it is too big, but in fact, there are many grass and trees, and there are more people walking on the road, carrying their hands on their shoulders, some riding high-headed horses, and some sitting on wheelbarrows, men and women, young and old, it is very lively.
"Drive." She urged the horse to walk over.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Chengzhen shouted.
Xie Roujia looked at him.
Zhou Chengzhen held the reins of the horse, looked at the city in front of him, and swallowed his saliva.
"Is there still water?" He asked.
Xie Roujia glanced at the water bladder he was hanging on his horse and threw his own water bladder at him.
Zhou Chengzhen took a big gulp of raising her head and drank it, and the water overflowed all the way down the corners of her mouth and neck, wetting the neckline and placket.
Xie Rouhui looked away and urged the horse again.
"I haven't finished it yet." Zhou Chengzhen hurriedly shouted.
"It's you who drink and not the horse who drinks, why can't you leave?" Xie Roujia glared and shouted.
Zhou Chengzhen jumped off the horse with a thud, poured the water from the water bladder into the water to feed the horse, and raised her chin at Xie Roujia.
This little bastard!
Xie Roujia urged the horse to leave, and Zhou Chengzhen reached out and grabbed her arm and pulled it hard.
Xie Roujia fell. was hugged by Zhou Chengzhen.
"You're looking for death!" Xie Roujia shouted, raising her hand and hitting his chin.
"No, no, wait." Zhou Chengzhen smiled, holding her hand and letting her stand firmly.
"What are you waiting for? Wait for those two of your retinue? You wait here. Xie Roujia said angrily.
Zhou Chengzhen held her hand and didn't let go.
"Is the little red horse thirsty?" He smiled and reached out to the little red horse.
"Mind yourself." Xie Roujia said that she wanted to shake off his hand, but she couldn't, so she simply hit his hand with the other hand.
"After walking so far, how can you not be thirsty, just take a rest." Zhou Chengzhen let her flutter and said with a smile. Sit down on the floor.
Xie Roujia was almost kneeling in his arms by him. He raised his foot and kicked him before he broke free.
"Inexplicable! What are you resting here? Come to your house and rest. She said angrily, rubbing her hands.
Speaking of this, I was stunned.
"Huh?" She said, looking at Zhou Chengzhen with forked hands, "Are you scared?" ”
Zhou Chengzhen smiled.
"What am I afraid of? I'm not even afraid of you. What else is there to fear in this world? He raised an eyebrow.
Xie Roujia kicked him.
"Is that homesickness?" She asked with a smile. "Are you afraid to enter the house?"
Zhou Chengzhen glanced at the city gate over there.
"Home." He said. "I didn't even know, I had a home."
Xie Roujia kicked his foot and paused.
"Yes, I have a home. There are many homes, the palace is my home, there is also a big house in the capital, and there is another home here. Zhou Chengzhen said again, raised her head and looked at Xie Roujia and smiled, "Daughter-in-law, marry me, okay?" Your home is gone, and I have so many. ”
Xie Roujia wanted to snort him, but her heart was depressed, and she didn't speak in the end.
My home is gone, at least I used to be, and you never did.
"Alright." She said, raising her foot and kicking him, "Let's go, manly man, where are so many mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law." ”
Zhou Chengzhen held her foot, raised her head and smiled.
"You promised?" He asked, with bright eyes.
"Promise what?" Xie Roujia frowned and asked.
"Daughter-in-law." Zhou Chengzhen said with a smile.
Xie Roujia thought of the nonsense in his words, and raised her hand and threw it at his head.
Zhou Chengzhen laughed and dodged short, and at the same time jumped up and turned on the horse.
"Gone." He laughed and urged his horse forward.
Xie Roujia snorted and followed the horse to chase over.
More than a dozen well-armored guards at the gate of the city, holding spears, scanned the crowd entering the city with solemn expressions.
It is said that the king of Zhenbei ruled the army with strict discipline, so he was able to guard the enemy outside the north and did not dare to attack easily.
Is this the soldier under the king of Zhenbei?
The reins in Zhou Chengzhen's hand couldn't help but tighten.
Naturally, his gaze was noticed by the guards, who immediately swung their spears to block the way.
"Lu Yin." The leader of the guard Mu Ran said.
Zhou Chengzhen took out a piece of paper and threw it over.
Of course, it's not really a road guide, it's made privately by the old dumb man and eight catties, and it is not used much along the way, and it can be unimpeded when it is used.
The guard looked.
"Fake." He said.
With this sound, all the guards around them surrounded him.
"Who's a spy!"
And with the angry shouts of the guards, the people who entered and exited the city gate suddenly retreated like water, without crying or panicking, and in the blink of an eye, they let the city gate go back and forth.
It seems that all this is commonplace, and the response is fluid.
Zhou Chengzhen and Xie Roujia were surrounded in the middle.
"Got the wrong thing, got the wrong one." Zhou Chengzhen said, taking out another one from his sleeve.
The guard looked again, his expression softening.
"Where?" He asked.
"People from the capital." Zhou Chengzhen said with a smile, while holding Xie Roujia, "Bring your daughter-in-law to visit relatives." ”
Xie Roujia subconsciously wanted to give him a bite on his ribs, and the guard's small but sharp gaze had already looked at it.
Xie Roujia lowered her head and did not speak.
The guards looked at them and waved their hands, the spears were put away, the guards dispersed, and the city gate was suddenly full of bustle again, as if nothing had happened at all.
Xie Roujia bumped into Zhou Chengzhen, led the horse forward, walked through the city gate and looked back at Zhou Chengzhen with a smile on his face.
"What's so funny? Also, why don't you little bully slap that true path in their faces? Then spit again. Let them see clearly who you are, uncle? She said.
"Oh, how can I be such a scoundrel." Zhou Chengzhen said.
Xie Roujia snorted.
"Aren't you that scoundrel?" She asked rhetorically.
Zhou Chengzhen ignored her, smiled and took a few steps to follow, and bumped her shoulder.
"Hey, these guards are amazing, aren't they?" He said.
"I don't know." Xie Roujia said unexpectedly, looking at the streets on both sides.
It turned out that the place where he lived for two years was like this.
"I think it's amazing, you didn't see this way and they saw that our guide was fake?" Zhou Chengzhen said, reaching out and poking her arm, "Isn't it, isn't it." Isn't it? ”
Xie Roujia raised her hand angrily and hit him three times.
"Yes. Yes, yes. She said.
Zhou Chengzhen laughed, threw away the reins and walked forward.
"Then, the one who can bring out such soldiers. Pretty powerful, right? He said.
Xie Roujia looked at him. The side face shines in the daylight. Even the wind and frost along the way could not hide his handsome appearance, attracting the peeps of many women on the street.
At this time, a trace of excitement and joy appeared on the face that had always been rebellious and smirked.
Does it confirm the excitement of imagining that the loved one who has never met is a hero?
"I don't know." Xie Roujia said.
Maybe he's a hero. But it had nothing to do with her, she was just a ridiculous and pathetic woman who died in this hero's house.
"Isn't it, you can see for yourself." She said, stopping.
Zhou Chengzhen followed her gaze and looked forward.
A dusty house sits quietly on the side of the road, with no guards, no porters to talk about, and no traffic in and out.
What is it here?
Zhou Chengzhen's gaze fell on the closed door.
Zhenbei Palace.
"Have you arrived?" Zhou Chengzhen asked.
This time, has it really arrived?
Easily, without hindrance, I finally stood in this place.
"You can't read? Also asked! Xie Roujia said.
When the words fell, Zhou Chengzhen turned around and hugged her.
Xie Roujia was also looking at the door plaque of Zhenbei Wangfu, and was suddenly hugged by him and suddenly became angry, and before he could scold his hand, Zhou Chengzhen had already let go.
"Xie Roujia, thank you for sending me back." He said with a smile, and without waiting for Xie Roujia to react, he turned around and ran towards the door.
"Open the door!" He shouted, slamming his hand on the door, "Open the door." ”
The door of the Zhenbei Wangfu seemed to have not been knocked on for several lifetimes, and with a dull creaking sound from the beating, dust flew away.
Xie Roujia was not familiar with the outside of the palace, but she was not so strange when she entered the door of the palace.
She knew that although it looked inconspicuous from the outside, the inside of the Zhenbei Wangfu was very large, divided into the front hall and the back hall.
Xie Roujia remembers that when she entered the door in that life, she took a car to the place of worship.
Just like the appearance, when you walk in, you will be greeted by a gray building, perhaps once carved beams and paintings, but the color is outdated.
However, the palace she saw in that life was brighter than now, probably because the king of Zhenbei became married, so it was painted and retouched.
Now there is no one here to marry, and she did not take the car to the front hall, but was stopped in front of the temple.
"Bold, dare to pretend to be the prince of Zhenbei! Someone take it! A man standing in front of the temple shouted angrily.
With his order, a group of guards rushed up all around, aiming the knives and guns in their hands at Zhou Chengzhen and Xie Roujia.
"What is there to impersonate the prince of Zhenbei?" Zhou Chengzhen sneered and said, "Who likes to be this unlucky son? ”
"What credentials do you have to prove that you are the son of the world?" The man said with a frown.
Zhou Chengzhen looked at him and smiled mockingly.
"I'm not here to prove that I'm the son of the world, I'm just here to see the king of Zhenbei." He said, "Go, hurry up, King Zhenbei call out, I'll take a look at what the hell it is, and I won't stay for a moment after seeing your place." ”
Plaything?
These words made everyone around them stunned and angry.
"How bold!"
"Shut up!"
There was a lot of scolding.
In the midst of this noise, there was the sound of crutches
The voice of reprimand died down, and there was silence all around.
Zhou Chengzhen raised his head and looked into the hall, but the sound of crutches quickly stopped, and no one came out, only faintly understood the outline of a figure standing in the hall gate.
"Who brought this thing back?" An old voice came from within, "Break his leg and throw it out for me." ”
I want to break my leg again, I was sent back by the emperor in the previous life, and I want to break his leg, and I don't want to break my leg if I don't send it back by the emperor in this life.
Xie Roujia looked inside the hall, the tall main hall looked gloomy in the bright sunlight, and the people inside were hidden in the shadows and couldn't be described.
Listening to the voice, the old prince was still a little energetic at this time, and he didn't know that he would not see his grandson this time, and he was angry to death not long after. (To be continued......)
