Next Chapter

It was three quarters in the morning of March 17 in the first year of Xianheng in the Tang Dynasty.

It is located in the east capital of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang City, Guocheng Luoshui, south of the main gate of Dingding Gate, west of Dingding Gate, about ten miles away from that Dingding Gate, a verdant hill called Xingfeng.

At this time, it is the season of the spring and March tidbits, the spring flowers are gorgeous on the top of the Xingfeng hill, the forest is green and the grass is green, and under the hill is the farmland mulberry planting Qianmo vertical and horizontal bridges and streams, during which there are occasionally the children playing and playing and crying, the laughter, scolding, coaxing and scolding of farmers and peasant women, mixed with the neighing and barking of domestic animals and chickens, dogs, ducks and geese, showing the history in front of you are a group of pastoral farm scenes that reveal vitality.

Under the gentle slope of a stone's throw on the north side of the hill, it is the blue spring water that winds and charms, and the soft and quiet flowing water is like a touch of crystal clear glass dotted between the mountains and rivers.

The water is full of ancient dark green aquatic plants, the dense reeds on the shore like sharp arrows, and the clusters of pink peach blossoms on the embankment, there are countless delicate willow branches that are as tender as silk and green, and the sun, wind, blue sky, and white clouds in the late spring and March reflect each other, and a pool of secluded spring water is more and more blue and charming.

Occasionally, the warm spring breeze gently blows across the jasper-like water like a naughty child, and the ripples in the microwave ripple places, such as the green grass swaying in the wind, the warm spring reeds moving in clusters, the peach blossoms fluttering petals, and the delicate silk willow branches......

Such a beautiful scenery is really a wonderful masterpiece of pastoral landscape scenery in late spring and March.

This blue spring water is the magic Luoshui of the turtle offering Luoshu, Fuxi's gossip, King Wen, and Zhou Gong's "Zhou Yi", and then breeding, developing, prospering, and inheriting the Heluo culture and Chinese civilization.

Between the two mountain bags surrounded by a verdant pine and cypress, there is an official road that winds and undulates along the hill trend, which is the key point between the traffic between Luoyang, the eastern capital and the counties of Yongning, Xin'an, Fuchang and Shou'an under the jurisdiction of Luozhou to the west.

The official road that can accommodate six cars in parallel is made of triple clay mixed with cement, and it is the first class in the world and the first class of wide and first-class texture is hard.

Amid the clatter of horses' hooves and the creaking of wheels, a group of people with carriages and horses faintly appeared from west to east at the end of the official road that undulated on the hill.

About a dozen paces ahead of the convoy were slowly riding horses, and there were more than a dozen men riding tall horses.

These men of different ages, dark complexions, and majestic physique can be seen at a glance that they are brave and fierce northland soldiers who have lived in the army for a long time, and the horses under their crotch are all from the northern grassland horses of the Dadu Protectorate, with a strong and tall body, a long and straight neck, a silky and flying horse's hair and a graceful dancing horsetail, all showing the vigorous and majestic posture of the grassland horse.

These tall horses are located in the position of the horse stock, and they all have the mark and brand unique to the famous Fang border army of the Dadu Protectorate, and the saddle sheath and harness on the horse body are also from the best cowhide products unique to the bitter cold north of the Saiwai.

The brave and fierce sergeants on horseback did not wear the standard protective leather armor that was customary in the army.

They wore blue-black leno scarves on their heads, with high-quality cowhide belts tied around their waists, and a standard horizontal knife with black leather sheaths hung from the waist crotch on the left side of the belt, and six-fold leather boots with white soap on their feet, only the color of the clothes on their bodies was slightly different.

There was no shouting and whistling between the sergeants, or even verbal and physical exchanges, and they used their limbs and bodies to control the vertical and horizontal jumps of the horses under their crotches rather casually, and all the sergeants moved with the rhythm of the whole horse procession, and each one seemed to be in harmony with the horse procession.

According to the regulations in the military, it is placed in the cowhide crossbow bag on the right side of the saddle bridge, which is the military standard crossbow that prohibits anyone from carrying equipment without permission in the law of Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty, and the other side of the cowhide crossbow bag is a hard-skin quiver full of fifty well-made and powerful carved crossbow arrows.

At this moment, if anyone dared to make any unscrupulous move towards the slowly moving chariot and horse team, these dozen or so powerful crossbows that could penetrate all armor would definitely make all creatures within a radius of one hundred and fifty steps (two hundred and forty meters) with the chariot and horse as the origin completely return to the initial state of waiting to be reincarnated as a human after eighteen years.

Not far behind the dozen or so sturdy and powerful sergeants, in the center of the entire chariot and horse team, two more prominent officials and eunuchs were riding their horses and slowly marching forward.

The mounts under the crotches of the two eunuchs were Wusun horses from the Huifu region of the Anxi Prefecture, and the two Wusun horses looked more vigorous and vigorous in comparison, and the silver and black saddles on the horseback were dotted with gems such as lapis gold and green pine, scattering dazzling light under the light of the morning rays.

Slightly wrong in the first half of the horse, the first half of the horse was a middle-aged scribe with a dignified face, a long beard, and a flowing beard.

The middle-aged scribe wore a pair of blue-black leno scarves on his head, a pair of white soap-covered Liuhe soft boots on his feet, a round-necked robe with narrow straight sleeves in dark crimson flowers, and an eleven gold belt with exquisite workmanship and exquisite double buckles at his waist.

The regular clothes of the dark crimson flowers, the exquisite eleven gold belt, and the silver fish talisman bag on the gold belt already show that this middle-aged scribe with a long beard and a flowing face and a good face has a prominent status as a court official of the Tang Empire.

Slightly behind the middle-aged scribe's half-horse-like pure white Wusun horse, sat a young man with a handsome face and a vigorous posture.

This chic and handsome young man is dressed differently from others, he does not wear the usual saro scarf, and his clothes are not the narrow and straight-sleeved round-necked regular clothes, the hairpin is tied in a sassy bun, a white wide-sleeved round-necked robe as elegant as spring and snow, and between the pure white silk belt tied at will, there is a three-eared cloud-headed scarlet sword about two feet two inches and two minutes long.

About three paces behind the handsome man in white were three chariots riding horses, and the dark crimson cloth used on the carriage of the first chariot once again proved the noble status and identity of the owner of the chariot and horse.

When a group of chariots, horses and people just crossed the Xingfeng Hills, the quiet and beautiful spring idyllic landscape came to people's eyes in an instant, and for a moment, everyone's breathing seemed to have a moment of stagnation.

People in the world often mention that the beautiful scenery has that immersive and wonderful feeling, but they don't know that every character in the painting is exactly the owner who splashes ink and paints this beautiful painting.

The middle-aged scribe with a dignified face and a long beard with a flowing beard suddenly lit up with a pair of rather deep eyes.

The brave and free-spirited, handsome and agile young man's radiant eyes also shot a glittering essence.

Even the dozen or so brave sergeants riding in front of them all looked back at the young man in white clothes at this moment......

It's just that he waited for the eyes full of greed and longing, and did not stop for a moment on the face, body and hair of the handsome young man, who was a little too arrogant, but landed on the huge purple gourd hanging on the right side of the pure white Wusun BMW saddle bridge.

This huge and simple purple giant gourd, in addition to the huge shape of the ancient clumsy shape has no other special features, but the gourd contains the luscious entrance of the long golden osmanthus wine, the first time the mouth of its desire to float fairy desire to be drunk in the taste is really thought-provoking, consciously tongue-inducing.

However, on the evening before the Taiyuan Mansion of Hedong Province set off for Luoyang City, the eastern capital, when the hateful white-clothed Qin Saburo gave a banquet, he only gave two or three shallow, after all the brothers had all the wine worms in their brains, bodies and stomachs......

This unscrupulous and hateful Qin family Saburo, who thought he was very handsome, laughed and put away the purple gourd, and then told these honest warriors with a smile that if they still want to eat this sweet golden osmanthus wine again, they can only wait to see the majestic city wall of Luoyang City, the eastern capital.

Oh God, grandpa! I ate two or three golden osmanthus wine in three bites, and then I ate the whole night of the thief bird pickled millet wine produced in Jinyang County!

The hateful and hateful white-clothed Qin Saburo!

After this journey of thousands of miles, although the Qin family and the eldest lady have never treated these fighting men badly, every time they rest and stay at the post station, there are enough good rice wine to accompany the brothers to relieve their fatigue, and the mellow and luscious rice wine taste is far sweeter and more delicious than the pickled and turbid millet wine in Jinyang County, but after the first taste of Huangguichun wine that night, no matter how good the other wine is, it can not wake up the wine worm in the stomach of a certain brother. It really made the mouths of these honest and honest sergeants completely fade out of the birds!

Along the way, there were also brothers who thought they were smart and athletic, who wanted to take advantage of the unscrupulous and hateful Qin Saburo to rest and relax, and take advantage of his purple giant wine gourd to quench his hunger......
