Chapter 9: The Girl of Dreams

For the first time in his life, he left his homeland and walked into the capital of a famous country in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the excitement and curiosity of Ying Kai and Zhao Boyu are self-evident.

Look to the right, two eyes are simply not enough.

The prosperity of the city is by no means incomparable, the streets are full of shops, and the merchants who come and go are shouting and shouting, and they are endless.

"Look, there is a sword used by my Qin people here." Zhao Boyu pointed to a shop selling swords next to him and said happily.

Quietly, don't make a sound.

Ying Kai knew that as long as he and Zhao Boyu didn't make a sound, the people on the street might not know where they were from, but as long as Zhao Boyu made a sound, he would immediately show his feet.

Why?

Because from ancient times to the present, the language and art of our great motherland are really rich, the people of Guanzhong in the Western Zhou Dynasty spoke "Yayan", while the Qin people of Inuqiu spoke the local dialect, and there is a big difference between the two.

If you don't make a sound, others don't know what you do; Once you speak out, you reveal your identity. Yingkai tugged Zhao Boyu's arm and said, "Don't make a sound, just move forward." ”

Zhao Boyu immediately realized something, said no more, and continued to walk forward with Yingkai.

It's so uncomfortable to hold on!

What is this, there are even more uncomfortable things to come.

"The princess has arrived, dodge left and right---" A luxurious carriage came from east to west, and the coachman shouted as he walked, signaling the crowd on both sides to dodge away, but the speed of the car did not slow down at all.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street hurriedly avoided this, and Yingkai and Zhao Boyuan couldn't help but lean to the side. The car drove quickly past and stopped in front of a mansion not far from the front of Yingkai.

The driver jumped out of the car, took out a bench and placed it in the back of the car, and then a richly dressed young woman poked her head out of it.

The young woman stepped out of the car lightly and looked around casually.

"Oh---, there are such beauties in the world." Zhao Boyu couldn't hold back and immediately shouted.

Indeed, the young woman not far away was indeed very beautiful, with fair skin, a delicate face, and a faint sadness in her quiet eyes.

After all, Yingkai is the noble son of the Qin people, and he has seen a lot of beauties in Inuqiu City, and the women of Rongdi have also admired countless women. But when he saw this beauty for the first time, he was still shocked.

Wow--, beauty!

Why do you grieve?

Just when Ying Kai was still worried about why the woman was sad, the young woman not far away glanced back at this side gently, and just happened to make eye contact with Ying Kai.

"Huh---"

At the moment when the young woman's gaze made contact with Yingkai, the woman couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Yingkai's heart was also touched.

Although Guanzhong and Inuqiu in the Western Zhou Dynasty were only separated by a Longshan Mountain, the climate here was mild and the Weishui was moist, so everyone's complexion was much better than that of Inuqiu. In particular, the aristocratic women here are even more delicate due to their superior conditions. She is by no means as red as the Inugaoka woman, with rough skin, and she speaks loudly and loudly, without the slightest feminine feeling.

The young woman also seemed to see Yingkai's joy, and a hint of surprise inadvertently flashed in her originally sad eyes.

Although it was a small surprise, Yingkai still caught it. Then, the young woman smiled and walked into the mansion.

The door to the "squeak--- mansion closed.

"Hey---, beauty is gone, what else are you looking at?" Seeing that Yingkai didn't move, Zhao Boyu dragged him and said.

"Oh--" Ying Kai suddenly woke up like a dream, and asked a shopkeeper on the street, "Who is this girl just now?" ”

"The guest officer said that the girl just now, she is the princess of my kingdom, Ji Ruoxi, a famous beauty in Guanzhong." The shopkeeper unconsciously admired.

Ji Ruoxi?

Ji Ruoxi, I remember you.

Ying Kai said in his heart.

"People say that there are beautiful people in the Guanguan, and this is true when I see it today!" Ying Kai said to Zhao Boyu.

"That's not it, I've heard that there are beautiful people in Guanzhong, so I've always had the idea of finding a woman in Guanzhong as a wife." Zhao Boyu then smiled and said, "If you can find a woman like the beautiful woman just now." I, Zhao Boyu, have come to this world in vain. ”

Well?

Do you want to be married to the girl you just had? Ying Kai looked at Zhao Boyu in surprise.

If a toad wants to eat swan meat, you have to have wings first, don't you?

Zhao Boyu, you are not even a nobleman, and you still want to marry the princess of the kingdom of Qiu. Brother thinks too much, right?

"Just you? Still want to find the princess of the kingdom as a wife? Dream on. Yingkai sneered.

"What's wrong? I want to marry the princess of the kingdom of Qiu, what's in your way, don't you want to marry her too? Seeing this, Zhao Boyu was not to be outdone and said to Yingkai.

This one?

Why was my careful mind so caught up in you all at once?

Thinking about his sixteen-year-old young man, it is indeed time to marry a daughter-in-law. Ying Kai nodded heavily, "What, I really have the idea of marrying the girl just now, do you think it's feasible?" ”

"Hahaha, hahaha, just your little thoughts, I said it!" Zhao Boyu laughed when he saw this.

After seeing such a beauty, Yingkai walked back, there was no energy at all, all of them were vulgar fans, what was there to see, so Yingkai smiled and said to Zhao Boyu, "Okay, okay, don't make fun of it." You and I will go to King Yu's palace together, maybe we will come here again in the future. ”

Zhao Boyu glanced back at him, with a weird smile on his face: "Okay---, it's not easy for me to come to Guanzhong, if I don't go to the palace to have a look, won't I regret it." ”

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the width of the roads, the height of the city walls, the number of city gates, the scale of the cities, and the planning system of the capital cities of the princely states had strict hierarchical regulations, which were not allowed to be transgressed. In terms of scale, the princes could only establish a national capital, and its size also depended on the level of the title: the city of the king of Zhou was nine miles away, the prince was seven miles, the Hou was five miles, and the male was three miles.

Since the Kingdom of Yu was a principality, the scale of the building of this capital was only a little smaller than that of the royal family, and it was already a large city in the Western Zhou Dynasty princely states at that time. But there is only a seven-mile radius, which cannot be compared with today's cities.

They didn't go far before they came to King Yu's palace. From a distance, the palace of the Duke of Yu stood in the middle of the palace, and the roof of the palace was covered with blue tiles. On both sides of the main hall are pavilions, one after another, and you can clearly see that there are palace maids and chamberlains walking around.

"Yingkai, look at this palace, how magnificent! It's like the houses in my Inuhill City, which are mostly made of thatch and adobe, and the gap is too big. Before he could get to the front, Zhao Boyu was shocked by the grandeur of the palace of this kingdom.

"Hey---, who are you waiting for? What are you doing here? Before the two finished their exclamations, the guards in front of the palace gate scolded the two of them.

"We are ......" Ying Kai grabbed Zhao Boyu, stepped forward and said to the guard: "We are passing merchants, accidentally walked here, please forgive me, please forgive me." ”

"Since you are a merchant, leave quickly." The guards didn't bother too much when they heard that the two were merchants, and motioned for them to leave as soon as possible.

"No, No---" With that, Yingkai pulled Zhao Boyu and left quickly.

The sun has set in the west.

Ying Kai knew that he should go out of the city, and if it was too late, he would close the city gate.

Outside the city gate, the flow of people increased significantly, mostly ordinary people returning to the city, occasionally mixed with a few richly dressed merchants and nobles. Perhaps as the door was approaching, the guards had also significantly stepped up their patrols, going back and forth, watching the crowd of people.

Before the city gate was closed, Yingkai and Zhao Boyu hurriedly left Yucheng. Then we walked briskly down the hillside to the north.

Walking up the hillside, Ying Kai and Zhao Boyu couldn't help but look back at the city below the mountain. In the twilight, the city of Yucheng stood like a giant beast between the Qinling Mountains and the Weishui, at this time the city gate has been closed, the smoke is slowly rising, and the city should also rest.

In that magnificent building in the center of the city, the princess of the Kingdom of Qiu named Ruoxi, I don't know what you are doing now?
