Text Chapter 8 Tianjin Qiaotou Sword Light Cold

Quanyefang is located on the Wei River.

In the previous life, he went to Chang'an, called Xi'an at that time, and the appearance was no longer the same as that of ancient Chang'an, leaving only some monuments such as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the so-called ancient city walls were all modern antique buildings. High-rise buildings, cars come and go, and most northern cities are no different.

In that world, the Wei River in the dry period is like a small river ditch.

It's different here.

The water of the Wei River flows mightily to the east, separating Wannian County from Chang'an City.

On the Wei River, there are several bridges not far apart.

The arches of these bridges are all very high, which can accommodate large ships passing under the bridges and carrying grain, salt, linen, silk, and tung oil from the south of the Yangtze River...... And all kinds of goods come along this river, most of which are dismounted at the wharf of Wannian County, and then transported into the city by carriages and horses, or scattered in all directions.

A part of the royal tribute was carried by official ships along the Weishui River around the city for most of the circle, went to the northwest corner, then turned into the artificial canal, entered Chang'an City through the water gate, and reached the foot of the imperial city.

Quanye Fang has a pier, so it is very lively.

There is a bridge built in Quanyefang, called Tianjin Bridge.

The bridge was built during the Tianhou period, and there are more than a dozen bridges on the Wei River, and this bridge is the youngest.

At the beginning, Luoyang was the eastern capital, where there was a Tianjin Bridge, after the bridge was built, the Ministry of Industry officials asked the Queen of Heaven to name it, and the Queen of Heaven also moved the name of the Tianjin Bridge here. At that time, she may have been missing the scenery of Luoyang and the peony garden next to the Tianjin Bridge in Luoyang, so she said the name.

The so-called golden mouth and jade teeth, officials naturally did not dare to raise objections.

As a stone arch bridge, Tianjin Bridge uses a lot of steel components, very tall, the bridge is ten zhang high, the bridge hole and the water surface have a distance of seven or eight zhang, all the ships that can pass on the Wei River can pass.

In the middle of the Tianjin Bridge is a carriageway, which is very wide, and can accommodate eight four-wheeled carriages walking side by side.

The carriageway is slightly higher on both sides and is a pedestrian walkway that is specially left behind.

On one side of the sidewalk there is a parapet made of marble with fine carved patterns.

On the guardrail, there is a statue not far away, all of which are some strange birds and beasts, it is said that this is a pattern given by the queen of heaven, from the mountains and seas, and the carving must not be wrong in the slightest, otherwise the craftsmen and the officials who supervise the production will be cut off their heads.

That high-rise building is located on this side of Wannian County in Tianjinqiao.

Du Rui and others are standing at the head of Tianjin Bridge, standing here, they can faintly see the tall city wall of Chang'an City opposite, as well as the city gate tower on the city wall.

Originally, there were buildings on the other side of the river.

When the rebels arrived in Chang'an, all the houses were demolished and burned by a fire for defense, and countless people left their homes, and when the war was far away from Guanzhong, there were not a single person who could return to their hometowns. These people wanted to rebuild their homes in their place, but they were not allowed by the government.

The imperial court was afraid that there would be more rebels besieging the city, so it did not allow any buildings to remain under the city walls, leaving only an open area.

Therefore, now there is only an open space outside Chang'an City, and the remaining ruins and broken walls on the open space.

Therefore, standing on this side of the Tianjin Bridge, you can also overlook Chang'an City, and before, the view would be blocked by layers of houses.

On the bridge, the traffic is busy and very lively.

On the sidewalks on both sides, most of the pedestrians are in a hurry, walking along the right side, and there are also some idlers, or walking together, or traveling with the whole family, strolling on the Tianjin Bridge and looking at the scenery on both sides of the Wei River. Willow trees are planted on both sides of the Wei River, and in this season, the branches are lush and green, fluttering with the river breeze.

The carriageway in the middle of the bridge, at this time, is not crowded.

In the middle of the bridge in the distance, several carriages were coming this way, and on either side of the carriage were knights in armor, holding several red flags, the flags were raised high, and the hunt flew up.

It was supposed to be a convoy of officials going out.

On the other side of the bridge, most of the convoys that were about to go to the bridge were stopped by the accompanying samurai, and the officials had to drive first, so it seemed so empty.

As for the closure of the bridge, no idlers are allowed to wait on the bridge, no one dares to do this.

Except for Yingzong Du Zhen and Queen Guo, even if it is a prince or prime minister, he does not dare to have such a pomp.

As it is now, you have to be extremely powerful.

Like the capital of the previous life, Chang'an City has not many other than many officials, so that the accompanying warriors can stop other cars, and they must have an official residence, or the prince of the imperial family, and the eunuch leaders of the Shence Army; If it is replaced by an official who is released, then it must be a party leader, either a festival envoy, or a town supervisor.

Du Rui's eyes swept over the Wei River, skimming over the white sails, watching the sand gulls fly high and low on the river, watching the willow branches fluttering.

When he turned his gaze back to the tall building, the man from before was nowhere to be seen.

His hand is on the railing, and on one side is a statue of a monster, the appearance of a hydra, the appearance is hideous, this is the monster Xiang Liu on the Book of Mountains and Seas, the legend of the minister of the Communist Party of China, where he passed, all became Zeguo, the water he spit out was sour and spicy, he would die if he drank it, he liked to eat people, and he was sexually tyrannical.

On the other side, two children looked at the statue, looking like they wanted to look at it and were scared.

There is a servant woman standing behind the child, a little farther away, there is a couple is looking at the Wei River by the railing, laughing quietly and saying something, it seems, it should be a relatively wealthy family, seeing that the husband is wearing a robe, wearing a hat, should be able to read and write, in the yamen or have a position, but a small official.

At this time, the family stole half a day of leisure and watched the beautiful scenery of the Wei River.

Wei Yue stood on Du Rui's left side, learning from him to look at the railing.

Although, Du Rui's eyes were empty, as before, as if he was in a trance.

Wei Yue knew that this was not the case.

He knew that after yesterday, Du Rui had changed.

I don't know if he understands the meaning of the white shirt on his body, whether he clearly knows that his biological mother has passed away, and if he has any terrible thoughts......

Yesterday, Empress Guo of Danfeng Hall was assassinated, Mrs. Shu was killed, and several people were killed and injured.

This should be a major event that shocks the inside and outside of the palace, the city gate is closed, and the scouts are densely packed with due righteousness, not to mention that it will set off a bloody storm, at least it will make a lot of trouble, I don't know how many people will be ruined in this turmoil, and I don't know how many people will be smiling because of this.

However, until now, Chang'an City is no different from the past.

Wei Yue didn't feel the slightest bit of tension.

That is, the matter is blocked.

This scared him even more.

He is like a low-flying sand gull on the river, able to feel the breath of the approaching storm, but he does not know what to do in the face of this change.

I and the others are just ants on duckweed, and I can only go with the flow, and I don't know when I will lose my top.

It's just fate!

Wei Yue sighed and turned his head to look at Du Rui.

At this time, Du Rui left the railing, he faced the side of the bridge, tilted his head slightly, and his eyes were in a trance.

On his side, Mo Chou lowered his head slightly, bent over, stepped forward sideways, his body tensed, and the whole person was like an arrow on a string, ready to catapult out at any time.

In the center of the bridge, the car appeared two or three feet away.

Three four-wheeled carriages and five armored knights marched through the forest.

There was a red flag flying on the roof of the carriage with a few words written on it.

Jiannan Dao is the envoy - Xue.

Du Rui tilted his head slightly, and in his dark pupils, the blue sky was reflected, and a person in white was also reflected, like a big bird flying in the blue sky.

The river breeze swept by, blowing the light yarn hanging from the edge of the hat.

The light yarn flew backwards, and Du Rui's gaze fell on the face behind the light yarn, a face full of stubbornness and pride.

Tightly pursed lips, resolute chin, high nose, flying eyebrows, noble forehead, the most striking thing is the eyes.

The dark brown pupils are almost pitch black, and in the depths of the pitch black, there is a faint flame burning, containing a kind of power that burns out life, indomitable determination, so peculiar, so spectacular, like a pair of phoenixes with wings spread, a phoenix reborn in the flames......

At that moment, the heartbeat stopped.

Glimpse!

Instant brilliance!

It's something he didn't have!

In a past life, or in this life!

So pure, so proud, so bright......

It can only be understood, but it is difficult to say.

Blinking slightly, Du Rui pursed his lips slightly.

The light veil fell, covering her face, and her black hair flew behind the hat, green silk, white clothes, reflecting the afternoon sun, which was extraordinarily brilliant.

A few feet tall building, jumping down, it is like an eagle striking the sky.

People are in the air, the long sword is unsheathed, the cold blade provokes the sun, and the light jumps up like a flying fish, smart and bright, like a fleeting year.

A sword light cold nineteen states!

The sword light fell, reaching the carriage at the front.

"Bang!"

There was a soft thud.

The roof of the carriage split in two and collapsed to the sides, and the sky was shining down.

Inside the carriage, it was empty, there was nothing.

The man in white fell, his toes flying diagonally in the air after the collapse of the roof of the car.

The big bird generally soars up, with an elegant posture, light clouds and light winds, without a trace of fireworks.

"Bold!"

Some knights shouted angrily.

A Frontless Horseman with a helmet and heavy armor jumped up from his horse, and the war horse under him let out a mournful roar, unable to withstand the knight's strength, and fell to the side, falling on the bridge, and fell a foot away in front of Du Rui's eyes, blood spurted from between his mouth and nose, and he couldn't live when he saw it.

Mo Chou rushed over with an arrow and blocked in front of Du Rui.

At this time, Wei Yue reacted, his lips squirmed, astringent for a while, but he couldn't make a sound, and his whole person was trembling as if he was being blown by a strong wind.

The two children next to Du Rui looked back at this side with a blank expression.

The servant woman was in a daze, equally at a loss.

The couple turned their heads, and it was clear that they were equally blank.

The knight jumped in the air, the horizontal knife at his waist was unsheathed, drawing a very beautiful arc, like a crescent moon, and swept towards the man in white.

Under the bridge, a flock of sand gulls screamed and flew out and threw themselves into the blue sky.
