The beauty of the West Lake outside the city is the beauty of natural scenery, every glance, it is like a landscape picture, the sky is clear, quiet and elegant. The beauty of Lin'an City lies in its liveliness and prosperity.

As soon as the envoy of the Jin State entered the city, they were shocked by the crowd of people rubbing shoulders in front of them.

In Jinguo, whether it is Zhongjing or Shangjing, even in the Wanshou Festival, I have never seen such a lively scene of Lin'an, and the crowded crowd presents infinite vitality.

"My lord, are we waiting here for the prime minister of the Song Kingdom, or should we go to the pavilion first?" The commander of the guard stepped forward to ask for instructions, and after confirming it, he could make manpower arrangements.

Wan Yanliang was indulged in the bustling dream of Lin'an City, where was he willing to go directly to the hotel, and said: "Song Guoqin went out of the city to greet him, how can we sit and wait here." Go to the North Gate and meet them. ”

The commander of the guard was instructed to quickly call out the two horsemen to step forward to clear the way and disperse the crowd so that the smooth passage of the car could be carried out. The other guards stepped forward and surrounded the carriage so tightly that not even a single fly could fly in.

Seeing this, Wan Yanliang was immediately displeased: "What are you doing here?" Drop them all for me. ”

The commander of the guards next to the car immediately replied: "My lord, there are too many people here, if someone plots a sneak attack, it is impossible to prevent it, and the subordinates have to be careful." ”

Wan Yanliang said: "That's your business, don't block my eyes." ”

The guard commander is responsible for himself, and the adult's will cannot be disobeyed, so he has to transfer the guard behind Wan Yanliang and follow both sides of the carriage, as long as he doesn't block his sight, he will probably not say anything.

Sure enough, as soon as the guards in front of him withdrew, Wan Yanliang smiled and laughed with the woman in the car.

The envoy of the Jin State and his entourage did not go up to the central royal street and headed towards the north gate.

The open-top carriage was decorated with atmospheric decorations, handsome men and beautiful women, richly dressed, all with tall horses, and many escorts accompanied them.

Such a big scene is rarely seen in Lin'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Crowded pedestrians stopped to watch, busy vendors stopped their business, and horse-drawn carriages were everywhere, vying for onlookers.

"What do you say these people in Lin'an City look like?" Wan Yanliang took the paper fan and pointed to the people on the left and right.

The two beauties glanced at each other, not knowing why: "People are people, how can they be like anything." ”

"Lang Jun, no, it's time to change your name to adulthood. What do adults say they look like? ”

Wan Yanliang said: "I think they are like sheep on the grassland, no matter how obedient they are under the whip, they will not be able to escape the fate of being slaughtered by others in the end." ”

The beauty said: "How can a sheep be compared with a person, a sheep can only run if it is whipped by a leather whip, and a person will fight hard when he is beaten, and he will not be slaughtered." ”

Wan Yanliang laughed and said: "I would like to try it for the two beauties, but I want to see if people will resist." Then he whispered to the commander of the guard next to the car.

The commander of the guards replied: "My lord, this is in the capital, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, so don't make trouble." ”

Wan Yanliang said: "Let you go, you will go." Don't want to serve the beauty? ”

The two beauties looked at each other, not knowing what the envoy of the Jin Kingdom would do, so don't bother them.

The commander of the guard drove his horse close to the crowd and shouted, "Get out of the way, don't get in my way!" ”

Hearing the shouting, pedestrians and vendors squeezed back, for fear of provoking the officials and being beaten and going to prison.

When the commander of the guard saw that they were all out of the way, and could not find anyone who could do it, and could not explain to the adults, but saw a hawker standing alone outside the crowd, he immediately stepped forward and whipped the hawker on the shoulder: "Deaf? ”

The peddler looked up in pain, and saw a tall horse standing in front of him, and the man on the horseback was holding a whip, very vicious, afraid of another whip, so he quickly gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and hurriedly retreated without saying a word.

Seeing that the hawker had no intention of resisting, the commander of the guard felt a little relieved and hurried back to pay the errand.

Wan Yanliang replied: "Well done, I will credit you." Then he smiled and asked the two beauties, "Now tell me what is the difference between a man and a sheep?" ”

Liang Mei said: "This can't be counted, he is just a vegetable seller, whoever beats him, he will not fight back." ”

Wan Yan Liang said: "Today, I want to convince the beauty." As he spoke, he looked for targets in the crowd on both sides, to prove to the two beauties, these people were like sheep, and they did not dare to resist when they were beaten.

After a short time, he chose his target, a young man dressed in silk and holding a folding fan, who looked like he was reading. Then he called the Captain of the Guards and told him to try it.

Although the commander of the guard was unwilling, he still took the order and left. He drove his horse to the man, and without saying a word, whipped the young man with a horsewhip, "Get out of the way, don't you have eyes?" ”

The young man was whipped for no reason, and he wanted to insult him, but when he saw that the other party was tall and powerful, he was afraid that he would invite another unwarranted disaster, so he could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth, cursed the other party thousands of times in his heart, and retreated with everyone, glaring angrily. He can't afford to provoke this kind of big man, but he can still afford to hide.

Once again, it was safe and sound, and the commander of the guard was much more at ease.

Wan Yanliang stared at the young man who was whipped, and when he saw him shut up and retreated, he laughed and said, "Beauty, please look, did he resist?" ”

The two beauties were unwilling, and defended: "Although he didn't resist in his hands, I see that his angry eyes look like knives are about to fly out, how terrible." ”

Wan Yanliang said: "The only thing that can kill people is the knife in his hand." After being beaten, they didn't even dare to say a word, and the sheep bleated a few times after being whipped, and these people were not even as good as sheep, where could they be called terrible. ”

The beauty said: "My lord, don't you know, how terrible these people are on weekdays, when they are happy, they are warm, when they are unhappy, they will beat them, and they will scold them, our sisters are fed up." As she spoke, the two beauties burst into tears.

Seeing this, Wan Yanliang hurriedly took the two beauties in his arms and lamented: "The beauties have suffered." Since you are not happy here, it is better to go north with me, and make sure that no one dares to beat you or scold you. ”

The two beauties were stunned, they had never been to the north, and their behavior in the first half of their lives was only a hundred miles, and Lin'an was the farthest place they had ever been. Singing prostitutes like them, if they are lucky enough to enter the official eunuchs and wealthy families, it is the best destination. But in Lin'an City, their appearance is not famous, and dignitaries will not take a second look at them. Out of Lin'an City, they are not the best, and the years are fleeting, their faces are easy to age, and in a few years, they will be driven away by younger and more beautiful newcomers, and they will not escape the fate of being lonely and old after all.

Hearing that the envoy said that he intended to take them away, what a rare opportunity it was, and the two said in unison: "Really? ”

Wan Yanliang stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on their faces, nodded and said, "Of course, as long as the beauties are willing, I will take you back to Zhongjing." ”

Hearing this, the two beauties shook hands and celebrated, smiling, full of joy written on their faces. However, after being excited, he said with some worry: "If you go to the north with adults, our sisters are naturally a hundred willing." But we have never been to the north, we are not familiar with the place, and if we are busy with official business, we sisters will be lonely. ”

Wan Yanliang smiled: "If you are afraid of being lonely, bring more people back to accompany you." ”

The beauty exclaimed: "Bring people? Who to bring back? ”

Wan Yanliang laughed: "Naturally, she is a beauty." If you bring more beauties back as companions, you can reduce the pain of homesickness and loneliness. ”

The two beauties looked at each other, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for them, and one of them thanked, "If that's the case, that's great." ”

Wan Yanliang said: "I'll look to see if there are any beauties on the streets of Lin'an City." As he spoke, he searched the crowd on both sides seriously.

After inspecting it for a while, I felt a little dazzled, so I gave up, "It's really disappointing that I can't find a beauty in the capital city." ”

The beauty smiled: "The beauties of Lin'an City are hidden at home, raised in the boudoir, this street is mixed with dragons and snakes, dirty, where can there be a beauty." ”

Wanyan Liang was disappointed, but he didn't give up, Lin'an City was crowded, how could he not find a beauty, as long as he was careful, he would definitely gain something.

"My lord, there's a sister over there who looks pretty smart, but I don't know if she can sing?" A beauty's eyes lit up, and she found a beautiful little lady in the crowd.

Wan Yanliang followed the direction pointed by the beauty and soon found the lady.

I saw that the woman's eyebrows were clear and beautiful, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her face was kind. The ordinary clothes on her body can't hide her beautiful temperament, and you can tell at a glance that she is not an ordinary person.

Wan Yanliang was already moved, looked at it stupidly, and said, "Please come and ask if you know." Then he ordered the guards to go and bring the woman over.

The commander of the guard hesitated: "My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, if it arouses the anger of the people, his subordinates can't afford it." ”

Wan Yanliang replied disapprenously: "You don't have to take responsibility, nothing will happen." ”

The commander of the guard insisted on persuading: "My lord, listen to what your subordinates say, this is in the capital of the Song Kingdom, or don't make extraneous branches, so as not to miss a major event." ”

The guards objected repeatedly, Wan Yanliang was unhappy in his heart, and said coldly: "If you want to go, you can go, where is so much nonsense." ”

As soon as the commander of the guard heard this, he knew that there was no room for manoeuvre, so he no longer held on, and immediately dismounted, and beckoned two of his subordinates to go with him to ask for help.

Parting from the crowd of onlookers, the escort led the three to the woman, who was following the crowd to avoid her.

The commander of the guard said to the woman, "Little lady, my family is invited. ”

The woman lowered her eyebrows, said nothing, and turned to leave, as if the other party were not talking to her.

Seeing this, the commander of the guards made a slight gesture, and a subordinate immediately dodged to block the woman's way, "Where is the little lady going?" My family is over here. ”

Blocked from the way, the woman was nervous and ashamed, her face was pale, she bowed her head and said nothing, rushing left and right to open a way, but where was she the opponent of the three big men, she was surrounded by three people, and she couldn't get out of trouble at all.

"Little lady, why are you doing this, my family just asked you to go over and answer a question." The Commander of the Guards patiently persuaded. He didn't want to cause trouble and cause trouble, but this woman didn't want to cooperate with him at all.

Although no one said anything to stop the crowd, the crowd heard a lot of talk. If you don't invite her over as soon as possible and continue the stalemate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end.

The commander of the guard decided to cut through the mess quickly, only to hear him whisper to his subordinates: "Take it away." ”
