In autumn, the afternoon sun shines brightly, reflecting the city in ancient and vivid light. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mo Bai wanted to meditate and take a good look at this city, which was in a different world, but also impossible to ignore.

From the moment he woke up, he was thinking about what kind of world and what kind of era he was in.

If a person wants to quickly adapt to an unfamiliar environment, he will subconsciously look for coordinates that he can be familiar with in his cognition to give himself a sense of belonging.

Mo Bai is of course no exception, but all along, this Great Xia has undoubtedly been very different from the world he is familiar with.

Just as the glory of that gate has never been seen in the history of any dynasty.

But fortunately, if he doesn't dwell on these specifics and stands a little higher to grasp the pulse of the times, he can still find a familiar framework in the history of his past life to define the environment of the present world.

That's right, it is the most turbulent era in modern history, the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China!

He went all the way from Pingjing to Mingzhu, passing through many cities, and he was always confirming his guesses.

But it is not so easy, in the era when the war has not completely broken out, many cities along the way do not have particularly distinctive characteristics to confirm the atmosphere of the times.

In most cities, the common people still live in the feudal pattern, repeating their own poor and backward life day after day, and there is no too clear spark of civilization and backwardness colliding with each other.

Therefore, Mo Bai has been looking forward to coming to Mingzhu, because he knows that if he didn't guess wrong, then this "Oriental Pearl" in his previous life would definitely give him an accurate answer.

And in fact, it is exactly like this, in fact, there is no need to wait until now, when he walked down the dock, the voices of those newsboys in his ears for the first time have already given him the most obvious coordinates of the times.

There is no doubt that Mo Bai can clearly grasp the breath of freedom more than the newsboys who dare to comment loudly and unabashedly on the secrets of the dynasty while standing on the street.

Here, feudalism may still exist, but the mind has been opened, just like the history that I am familiar with, the atmosphere that should be in the troubled times.

At this time, Mo Bai sat in front of the bed, looking at the bustling crowd on the wide long street, looking at their different styles of clothing.

Suits, long skirts, robes, blouses, school outfits!

Horse-drawn carriages, cars, rickshaws, rickshaws!

On the foreign and ancient buildings, there are huge and distinctive signboards.

Peddlers, pawns, elites, literati, warriors, Westerners......

There is no need to doubt it, all of this converged in Mo Bai's eyes, which made him find the imprint of the times most clearly.

"Hu ......" exhaled lightly, but Mo Bai didn't pay much attention, it was obvious that at this moment, he was not so calm because of the sound of discussion that could still be faintly heard from under the tavern.

He closed the window, got up and went to the table, poured a cup of tea, held it in his hand, and watched the water ripple, but put it down again.

Come to the bed and sit down cross-legged.

He was alone, sitting quietly, and at this time, there were still the deepest waves in his eyes.

That's right, the news that came this morning still made him indifferent.

If it weren't for the so-called assassination truth, could there be anyone who knew the truth of the matter better than himself?

It's just that when he heard the news of the death of the crown prince, for some reason he always flashed in his mind that he had only one side, and in fact he was not very familiar with the figure of the queen.

The understanding of these days has already made him know that the queen only has two sons under her knees.

One of them was himself, and the other person, the dead prince, was the royal brother he saw that day.

At that time, Mo Bai didn't know his identity, only that he was the emperor's brother, and he wondered why he was targeting himself like this?

Later, after learning from Tiexiong's mouth that it was actually the crown prince, he was even more puzzled.

How could a prince who was not a threat be so disliked by him?

But after that, I figured it out a little, and it turned out to be related to the queen's caring attitude towards herself and the princess she had never seen.

Princess Lin Suyin is rumored to have the order of the phoenix, and it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has long been interested in her, but she doesn't want to end up with her......

At this time, the crown prince is dead, and there is no sadness of brotherhood, maybe even the former King Ming will not feel so sad when he is alive, but Mo Bai can't help but think of the queen mother who is suffering the pain of losing her son at the moment.

The obvious worry in his eyes flashed, Mo Bai shook his head slightly, his eyes flashed again, and his ears recalled the madness again.

The crazy sentence "Who will save the country, who will save the country?" ”

Mo Bai knew the trend of the times better than anyone else, but he never thought that the chaos would happen to him.

Closing his eyes and holding the Dharma Seal, Mo Bai fell into silence.

Everything can only be left behind for the time being, he is too weak, everything is superfluous, and thinking about everything is too much.

Only by surviving first is what he needs to do most at the moment.

He needs time.

But I'm afraid he can't imagine that he doesn't have much time to be comfortable, and the pearl that has just arrived is not so peaceful.

………………

……

Hindri!

It's a small street.

Tie Xiong got out of the rickshaw and walked alone on this small street, his steps with irrepressible eagerness.

is about to see Ning'er, this month, of course, he is worried in his heart, and he is extremely eager to know if his sister, who has been tortured, is doing well.

His gaze followed the inconspicuous marks on the corner, but they were very familiar to him.

Although I haven't been to Mingzhu, I have already made arrangements and discussed what will happen after I come.

This is a small street, obviously not as good as a bustling avenue, and the environment is quite comfortable.

Tetsuo traveled all the way and finally stopped in front of a courtyard gate.

"This is it!" He looked into the courtyard, a little excited in his eyes.

But he resisted his eagerness and walked some distance, looking at his surroundings.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Tie Xiong's heart froze, and his eyes were extremely vague and glanced at the two figures in black short clothes at the entrance of the courtyard.

The perennial vigilance made him immediately notice that there was a difference between these two people, not that he was observing himself, but that their eyes obviously fell on the courtyard door from time to time.

Tie Xiong's heart suddenly became vigilant, his eyes flashed slightly, and he walked past the two of them quietly, and the two of them glanced at him, and then stopped paying attention.

Tie Xiong went all the way away, did not turn back, until he was out of the alley for a distance, then sat down in a teahouse on the side of the road, ordered a cup of tea, and began to observe with his eyes as if he were nothing.

"Something's wrong?" At this time, he seemed to be leisurely, but in fact, his heart was instantly constricted.

No one knows the skills of the brothers better than him, and it is impossible for the brothers and sisters not to find out about such an obvious target......

Glancing at the two black-clothed figures again, Tie Xiong's eyes changed endlessly, although it was only the first time he saw them, he could see that those two were not good.

With fierce eyes and no standing face, he looks like a ruffian and a social idleman.

Tie Xiong finally got up again, went to a restaurant next door to buy some food, and walked towards the small courtyard again with it in his hand.

In any case, the brothers did not leave themselves with any other signal, which means that they are still there, and they do not remind themselves that they cannot pass.

When he passed by the two men again, it was evident that the two had noticed him, and one of them had a displeased look in his eyes and shouted at him, "What are you walking around, what are you doing?" ”

Unbridled!

Obviously, these two people are the kind of ruffians who are there.

"Looking for something?" Tie Xiong paused, glancing at the two of them, his voice low but extremely intimidating.

"Hey, I said......" The first person to speak was upset, and he was about to walk.

Tie Xiong didn't say anything, his footsteps lifted and stepped on the ground: "Click! ”

The bluestone was clearly cracked.

"Well......" is such an obvious movement, how can the two of them not be able to distinguish it, and their faces suddenly changed: "Go, go......"

didn't leave any more harsh words, turned around and ran.

Tetsuo looked at their backs, his brows furrowed again......

But he didn't dwell on it anymore, walked quickly, and went directly towards the small courtyard.
