Chapter 57: The Flower Market
The martial law in Jianye capital has not been lifted, as soon as dusk, the streets and alleys of the capital will be deserted, but now it is noon, so the pedestrians on the street are still coming and going, the traffic is busy, quite lively. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The crown is covered with Jinghua.
Yang Ning was riding a horse on the long street by the Qinhuai River at this time, riding a horse in Beijing is a fashion, not only the princes and princes like to decorate their mounts exquisitely outstanding, it is some literati and ink writers, they also like to ride horses on the street, which is a fashion in Jianye Beijing.
The literati rode by, all smiling, unconsciously looking up, they didn't need to look to the side, they didn't want to look down, because the people there were going to look up to them.
They only look at the colorful pavilion and look at the pink green mountains in the pink pavilion of the red mansion.
Talented and beautiful people, this is a good story, they pretend to be elegant, roaming by the Qinhuai River, isn't it hoping to achieve a good story?
The painting boat on the Qinhuai River is like weaving, and from time to time I see a well-dressed elegant boy walking out of the cabin, standing on the bow of the boat, followed by a few people, with the courage to guide the country.
This is a landscape that can be seen every day on the Qinhuai River.
This is the first time that Yang Ning has passed by the Qinhuai River, it is still early, he is not in a hurry, Yuan Rong rode a horse and followed Yang Ning, but he had some doubts in his heart, not knowing where Yang Ning was going to take him.
Yang Ning went out of the mansion, Duan Canghai was naturally not easy to stop, but these days the prince of the world has been in danger continuously, he wanted to personally escort and follow, Yang Ning knew that it was very hard for both Duan Canghai and Qi Feng and others these days, so he only let Duan Canghai find two guards to follow in the mansion.
After the Confucius Temple, Yang Ning turned to a long street, this street is very different from the prosperity of the wind and moon on the bank of the Qinhuai River, as soon as it turns into the street, there will be bursts of flower fragrance, look around, red flowers and green leaves, purple and red, there are many flower shops on both sides of the street, but it is a flower market.
Yang Ning was surprised, now it is October, but he doesn't want to have a flower market in operation, he doesn't actually understand flowers and plants, riding a horse, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, seeing all kinds of strange flowers and plants, many varieties are really unprecedented, I thought that this month can still bloom and put leaves, these flowers and plants must not be cheap.
However, the climate in the south is pleasant, even in October and autumn, the weather is still warm.
Yuan Rong suddenly understood something, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, shouldn't my brother be leading me to the Wuxiang Hou Mansion?" Haha, I haven't seen your brother-in-law for a while, so let's go meet him today. ”
"Brother-in-law?" Yang Ning was stunned and turned his head to look at Yuan Rong, but he didn't ask.
He knew that his current behavior was very different from that of the previous son, and some of his connections could not be clear, but he could not ask often, otherwise it would inevitably make people suspicious.
It's just that when he turned his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure not far away, and there were not a few people coming and going in this flower market, but there were mostly female dependents, and the figure was tall and very conspicuous in the crowd, Yang Ning saw it at a glance, his heart tightened, and he recognized it at a glance, that person was the gray-robed elder who pretended to be a eunuch last time.
Yang Ning had seen this person twice, the first time he looked like a rather elegant elder, the second time he disguised himself as a eunuch, and this time he was dressed in a gray robe with a long beard.
"Why is this guy here?" Yang Ning was vigilant, turned over and dismounted, and the gray-robed elder obviously didn't pay attention to Yang Ning's side, passing through the crowd.
The identity of this old guy is uncertain, but Yang Ning is sure that the beard on his mouth must be glued, otherwise he only saw that he has no beard a few days ago, and it is impossible for him to grow in just a few days.
He couldn't help but chase after him, and squeezed over there in the crowd, Yuan Rong didn't know why, and shouted: "Brother Ning, where are you going?" ”
Yang Ning saw that the gray-robed elder was not far in front of him, quickened his pace, and suddenly heard "ouch", passing in front of a flower shop, he actually bumped into a person, the voice was quite delicate, it seemed to be a woman, Yang Ning didn't care about apologizing for a while, chased a few steps forward, and saw that the gray-robed elder had disappeared from the crowd.
He stopped, looking around blankly, people coming and going, but there was no trace of the gray-robed elder.
Yang Ning frowned, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves protruding, and from the other end of the long street, there was a sound of horses' hooves like a dense drum.
Yang Ning frowned, secretly thinking that this was the long street of the market, people came and went, although he rode a horse, he was only walking slowly, but now the sound of horses' hooves was as urgent as raindrops, could he not step on people?
Sure enough, I saw that the pedestrians on the long street avoided one after another, and some people couldn't dodge, so they flew to the side, shouting.
On the opposite side of the long street, galloped over and rode a few horses, the horse's hooves were hurrying, seeing the people on the long street turning over the horses, there was no slowing down, Yang Ning frowned, and was about to avoid, but suddenly his heart sank, but he found that in the middle of the street, there was a seven or eight-year-old child squatting on the ground playing with a clay figure, there was no adult around, the child grabbed a clay figure with one hand, and was playing with it, completely unaware of the danger coming.
The horses galloped, apparently unaware that the child was crouching in the middle of the street, and someone on the side had already spotted the scene and screamed in alarm.
Yang Ning had already rushed over like an arrow from the string at this time.
Yang Ning's speed was extremely fast, but the horses were already a few feet away from the child, and at Yang Ning's current speed, he pounced in front of the child, if the horse didn't have time to stop, he was likely to be knocked away with the child.
But he didn't hesitate.
He knew that at this moment, the only person who could save the child was himself, and if he fought hard, there was hope, otherwise the child would be trampled under the feet of the horse, and there would be no reason to live.
In the screams, many people had already turned their heads and couldn't bear to look at the thrilling scene.
The horse is a good horse, the speed is like electricity, and I can see that the horse in front is no more than a foot away from the child, and Yang Ning is also a few feet away from the child.
The same distance, but the speed is different.
The speed of the horse, of course, is not comparable to Yang Ning's speed, he only felt a chill in his heart, in a hurry, he only hoped to be able to concentrate the strength of his whole body on his legs, seeing that he was going to take a step slower, Yang Ning roared, that is, at this moment, he found that the strength in his chest poured down like a torrent, pouring into his legs.
At the moment when the power poured into his legs, Yang Ning kicked his legs, and the whole person was like a cheetah, grabbing the head of the horse, grabbing the child's arm, pulling it and rolling it to the side in his arms.
The horse neighed, its front hooves raised, stood alone, and then fell, stepping on the position where the child had just been, if Yang Ning was one point behind, the child would have died under the horse's hooves at this moment.
"Bang!"
Yang Ning rolled, couldn't clean up, and hit a flower bed placed in front of the door, his whole body hurt, but fortunately, at this time, the momentum was put away, and his hands were raised, holding the child in mid-air.
"Ah......h With a scream, a woman had already snatched it up, and said with a crying voice: "Ding'er, Ding'er, how are you ......?" ”
Yang Ning only felt a cold sweat all over his body, heard the woman's crying, turned his head to look, and saw that it was a woman less than thirty, who looked like a female dependant of a big family, knowing that this child must have something to do with her, handed the child over, and smiled reluctantly: "He..... He should be fine, don't worry about ......! ”
The woman hugged the child, checked up and down, and saw that the child was safe and sound, so she was relieved, and saw Yang Ning sit up, and said busily: "Engong, thank you ......, thank you for saving my family...... Ding'er, great kindness, I will definitely repay ......!" He hurriedly said: "Engong, you ..... You're bleeding. He didn't care about anything else, took out an embroidered handkerchief and handed it to Yang Ning, "Quick, you wipe it first, I'll ask a doctor for you to ......!" ”
Yang Ning felt that there was blood flowing on the side of his forehead, and he felt a hot pain, knowing that it was just a wound on the flower bed, and he didn't take the embroidered handkerchief, shook his head and smiled: "It's okay......!" I wanted to get up, but I found that the two legs that were full of strength just now were so weak that it was difficult to get up for a while.
"Good brother......!" Yuan Rong had already rushed over, with a shocked expression, "You...... Are you okay? ”
Yang Ning raised his hand and wiped the blood on his forehead with his sleeve, shook his head, his legs were weak and weak, which made Yang Ning a little frightened.
Just a moment, but he felt something, his legs were suddenly powerful, as if he was transferred to his legs from the strength in the dantian in a hurry.
If it weren't for the influx of strength, he would never have had the strength to save the child before the horse.
But at this moment, the power disappeared, and the two legs were a little numb and cramping, Duan Canghai had warned him before, he must not easily mobilize his strength, this time he had to do it, but he didn't know if it caused damage to his body.
"Ge Laozi, you still have some skills!"
A voice came, not the official language of the capital, the tone was quite arrogant, Yang Ning's face sank, he looked up, and saw that not far in front of him, a tall horse was majestic, on the horse, a person was condescending, looking at Yang Ning very indifferently, the sun was shining, shining on the horse, dragging out a long shadow, shining on Yang Ning's body.
A few fast horses have also followed.
Several people are wearing dark green strong clothes, but they have white cloth wrapped around their heads, and they are equipped with scimitars around their waists.
These people are obviously well-trained, at this time, one hand is holding the reins of the horse, and the other hand is pressed on the handle of the scimitar, and their eyes are all fixed on Yang Ning, all of them are like knives, but it seems that Yang Ning is the perpetrator.
