Chapter Ninety-One: Seeing Suzaku, the world is peaceful
There are three city gates on each side of the outer city of Chang'an City, the Yanping Gate that Yu Lang enters is located in the south of the west city wall, after entering, everyone has passed through Fengyi, Changshou (Chang'an County Administration), Chongxian, Chongde, Anye five squares, each square is surrounded by a high wall, and it becomes a small city by itself.
The emperor's family sits in the north and faces the south, Taiji Palace, Daming Palace is in the south of the city, the dragon head is in the original place, it is also the highest point of the city, the dignitaries and dignitaries are also in the south of the city, and the north is mostly the ordinary people and some Beijing officials below the third grade.
Yu Lang and the others followed Cui Zhongshi to the end of Anye Fang, and an extremely wide street suddenly appeared in front of them. Although he was accustomed to seeing wide highways in his previous life, Yu Lang couldn't help but be shocked by the wide and smooth rammed earth pavement of Suzaku Street.
Suzaku Street is about 45 zhang (150 meters) wide, and the terrain in the middle of the road is slightly higher than the sides, and there are well-established drainage channels on both sides. Yu Lang deeply felt that this majestic city was ahead of its time in terms of scale, planning and construction methods.
Cui Zhongshi once again explained to these stunned young people: "This Vermilion Bird Street is facing the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City in the north, and it is also the north-south axis of Chang'an City. ”
Both sides of Suzaku Street are planted with tall Chinese acacias, and although there are only bare branches left, thousands of trees are lined up, which is still magnificent.
"With such a big city and such a long street, why are there so few pedestrians?" Xie Zhiqian said curiously.
Cui Zhongshi stopped and glanced at Xie Zhiqian: "Isn't there a curfew in your Yangzhou City?" ”
"Yes, there is a ......" Xie Zhiqian's own uncle is the county magistrate of Yangzhou, so naturally he doesn't dare to say that the curfew in Yangzhou City is just a formality, and there are not a few sons and brothers who go out together at night.
Cui Zhongshi said: "Chang'an is no better than other places, walking on the street at this time is bound to be taken back for questioning, if you move a little, it is not strange to be cut off on the spot." ”
"Isn't it dangerous for us to do this?" Xue Wenyang was a little worried, after all, it was already dark at this time, although he had some martial arts, he was not arrogant enough to use force with the night guard soldiers, even if he won a team of soldiers, could he still pick the entire Chang'an City? The forbidden army responsible for the city defense in Chang'an City has ten armies such as left and right Yulin, left and right Longwu, left and right Shenwu, left and right Shence, left and right Shenwei, etc., these ten armies are the elite of the world, and there are more brave Beiya forbidden troops responsible for guarding the palace city, including Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Cui Zhongshi knocked on the token in his hand again: "Don't worry, I'm doing things for Your Majesty, and you will be fine if you follow me." ”
Yu Lang's gaze focused on the street lamps on both sides of Suzaku Street, which were more than three feet high, and a brazier was placed on top of the stone pillar, and the brazier was covered with a lampshade, which was supposed to be made of wood, and the strange shape allowed it to leak most of the light while keeping out the wind. The amount of lamp oil consumed by these street lamps alone is by no means a small amount, and I am afraid that the imperial city will be even more extravagant, and it is true that the power of the world is exhausted to supply Chang'an.
When he walked to Fengle Fang, Cui Zhongshi seemed to have met an acquaintance, and nodded his head to be close to the person.
The man was born extremely tall, with a white face and no beard, and although his face was old, it did not hide his heroic appearance. The man asked Cui Zhongshi about the origin of Yu Lang and the others, and Cui Zhongshi said it patiently.
"Hmm." The man nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Cui Zhongshi's handling methods, and suddenly slapped Cui Zhongshi in the face with his backhand.
Cui Zhongshi spit out a bloody tooth and kowtowed to the man again and again: "General Gao, Zhongshi has made your old man unhappy by doing something wrong, please calm your anger." ”
In Chang'an City, the only people who can be called tall generals are the extremely honorable champion generals, the right prison guard generals, and the Bohai County Gong Gao Lishi, as a eunuch can sit in such a position, which shows his superb skills and strength.
Yu Lang's brows twisted slightly, Gao Lishi's slap seemed to be scattered, but in fact, he shot very quickly, Yu Lang asked himself If this slap came to his face, the ** of ten was also unavoidable, this person was unfathomable.
Gao Lishi stepped on a pair of shiny official boots and walked in front of Yu Lang and the others: "What are you, and what qualifications do you have to bargain with Cui Guard?" Cui Guards came to pick up people under His Majesty's dictation, you just have to hand over people, how can there be so much trouble? ”
It was Cui Guards who were beaten, but it was Yu Lang and others who were questioned - Fighting Cui Guards was to establish authority to Yu Lang, and questioning Yu Lang was to save face for Cui Guards, just this idle hand shows that this person has been immersed in officialdom for many years.
As he spoke, Gao Lishi stood still in front of Yu Lang: "I heard that you told Cui Guards that you didn't want to hand over Yang Yuhuan if you didn't see Your Majesty, right?" Who gave you the guts to be so arrogant at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”
Colliers spoke in a low voice, and there were no emotional ups and downs, but he was not angry and self-threatening, and a series of words were plain and indifferent to make people feel chills down their spines.
Xue Wenyang and Xie Zhiqian faced such a person for the first time, cold sweat was like rain on their foreheads, and they only felt that they couldn't bear it just by standing opposite this person.
Yu Lang stared at Gao Lishi's eyes: "I waited for thousands of miles west to send Sister Yuhuan to Chang'an, if I didn't have this caution, I would have died on the road." The tall general and noble man are serious, do you mean that Sister Yuhuan is handed over to you at this moment, if she makes any mistakes, all the responsibility will be borne by you? ”
Gao Lishi nodded: "You young man is so courageous, no wonder he suppressed Guard Cui in just a few words." ”
At the first moment, he looked as generous as the neighbor's family, but the next moment his expression changed greatly: "But you remember it for me, this is Chang'an City, there is no reason here, only imperial power." Your Majesty wants to see Yang Yuhuan, you can only hand over someone, if Yang Yuhuan goes wrong, he will still cut off your head, and when the guillotine falls on your neck, no one will listen to you talk about these truths! ”
Yu Lang knew that as a Gao Lishi, he didn't have to say much to himself, even if he wanted to forcibly take people away, he was powerless to stop it, he said: "Thank you General Gao, Yu Lang benefited a lot from today's words." ”
Gao Lishi's expression softened a little, and motioned for Cui Zhongshi to welcome Yang Yuhuan into the sedan chair.
Yu Lang stopped in front of the carriage, and held the wooden sword in his hand: "General Gao is certainly a good word, but the gentleman has something to do and something not to do, this way is a dangerous wave I know that there are many people in the deep palace who have bad intentions towards Sister Yuhuan, as a man's husband, how can he let a woman be in danger because of his own safety!" This is unrighteousness! Sister Yuhuan is deeply favored by His Majesty, and she can't protect her thoroughly, which is also disloyal to my Tang Emperor! Is the tall general really going to force me to do this disloyal and unrighteous thing? ”
"What a mouth like a sword." Gao Lishi's eyes froze, "I don't know if the sword in your hand can have three points of hardness in your mouth." ”
The momentum of Colliers continued to rise, and the rest of the people in the room not only had difficulty breathing, but even had great difficulty standing up straight.
This kind of momentum, Yu Lang has only felt it once in the Western Capital, and that time Li Mi alone forced the 50,000 Longyou army that no one dared to take a step forward, and Gao Lishi's strength was not under Wuxiang, maybe it was much higher.
Gao Lishi had already seen the depth of Yu Lang, and knew that with this person's strength to break through the pinnacle, under such pressure, he might not even be able to lift his sword an inch.
Yu Lang glanced up at the starry sky, and his eyes fell on the winged Vermilion Bird in the middle of Suzaku Street. The Vermilion Bird is one of the four spirits of the sky, born from the fire, and there is no nirvana unless it is a desperate situation.
In an instant, the stars in the sky seemed to echo the dormant Vermilion Bird, and Yu Lang had an inspiration in his heart, and suddenly raised his sword and pointed at the door of Gao Lishi's face steadily.
When the Singularity Dao Seal was sealed and the cultivation fell into the virtual realm, Yu Lang actually advanced to Wuxuan again and condensed into the Vermilion Bird Dao Seal.
A golden Suzaku appeared above their heads, and the pressure on everyone's bodies was light.
Cui Zhongshi was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground - Zhu, Suzaku Daoyin.
See Suzaku, the world is flat. Since ancient times, the cultivators who have condensed the Vermilion Bird Dao Seal have the air of an emperor.
This is the grace of heaven, and it will be jealous of heaven, if Xuanzong learns this news, even if the sword saint is there in person, he will not be able to protect the head of Yu Langxiang.
