The spring rain that had been pouring down for a night was not heavy, and the spring thunder in the sky also quietly disappeared into the clouds after a few sounds. But even so, this spring rain, which may not even be moistened by the soil, still makes Lin'an City a little more happy.

From the beginning of winter last year to the present, Lin'an City includes the boundary of hundreds of miles near Lin'an Mansion, not to mention the rain, even the snow is only a few drifts. If it weren't for the developed water network in the south of the Yangtze River and many large water systems such as the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the drought in various places would have been in a snowflake rush towards Lin'an City.

But even so, if there is no rain in the next ten days and half a month, there will really not be much farmland that can be used for spring plowing on the ground hundreds of miles around Lin'an Mansion.

Therefore, this spring rain is too timely. Although it is not big, it also comforts the people of Lin'an, who are already looking forward to the rain. As long as it rains, as long as it can catch up with spring planting, then everything is fine.

After the rain, Lin'an City is clean and pure, verdant. The tender bamboos, green pines, shrubs, and flowers all over the mountains are greedily sucking the rain that falls from the sky, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the chirping sound of them absorbing the rain, crisp and cheerful.

The morning sun rises, the golden red and soft sunlight sprinkles thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the blue sky is like washing, all the green, emerald, green, red colors, are draped in a golden tulle, the end is beautiful, like a fairyland on earth.

Outside the city of Lin'an, a large number of people who have entered the city early have gathered at the gates, or they are brave or driving small cars, on which all kinds of vegetables, vegetables, fruits, fresh fish and meat are placed; The wharf adjacent to the city wall was also crowded with merchant ships waiting to open the gates to enter the city, and it was also full of all kinds of commodities and goods from all over the world.

In the early morning of Lin'an City, the city is still quiet, but there is already a commotion outside the city.

In the rolling crowd, the two figures are particularly eye-catching.

This is a stunning combination of a man and a woman, but the large open space around the two of them is not occupied, even if the people around them are already crowded.

It is natural for women to use stunning colors to describe them, but it is indeed a bit strange for men to use them to describe them. But it was such a strange word, and it was the first word that came to the mind of all men and women who were about to enter the city, both men and women, when they saw that man. There seems to be only one word that can describe the man's appearance.

The eyebrows are like Edai, the eyes are like spring water, the lips are like the dots, the eyes are like the morning star, a white robe, standing there like a fine willow supporting the wind, indescribably handsome and graceful.

Standing beside this stunning man was a little girl, fifteen or sixteen years old. There's something strange about a costume. The short felt jacket just covered the smooth lower abdomen, a white and greasy dazzling belly loomed, and the two white jade-like lotus arms were also exposed; The lower body is a pair of fluffy felt pants that only reach the knees, with a circle of white fluff at the cuffs, placket and trouser legs, cute and playful, and two strings of chic gold beads at the ankles of the two smooth calves and ankles collide constantly with the sound of jingle bells, full of exotic style.

The folk customs of the Great Song Dynasty were not very conservative, and they were not as strict as those of later generations, after all, Cheng Zhu Lixue had not yet completely become orthodox.

But even so, seeing this stunning beautiful girl's exotic outfit still made the kind and simple people around a little unbearable, many people quickly withdrew their eyes after peeking at it, the girl was not how, but those who peeked were already embarrassed and red, and they wouldn't even go.

Unlike the embarrassed expressions of the people around them, there was nothing abnormal between the expressions of the two people in the center of the crowd. It's just that both of them have obvious tiredness and dust on their faces, plus the small shabby packages they are carrying on their shoulders, they have obviously been running around for a long time.

"Brother Mo Ye, this is Lin'an City? It's so tall and big. ”

The beautiful girl looked up at the high walls of Lin'an City and was amazed. The sound is as crisp as a yellow bird, and it is a pleasure to just listen to it.

"Well, Ah Ruan, this is Lin'an City, we have finally arrived in Lin'an City."

The stunning man looked at the closed gate of Lin'an City, his eyes were far away, with a little fascination, and he said quietly.

"Knock knock!"

As the sun shines on the city, the continuous sound of trumpets and drums sounded on all sides of Lin'an City at the same time. With the sound of rumbling trumpets and drums, the continuous "creaking" sound that makes the roots of the teeth sour and soft, the four main cities of Lin'an Mansion slowly open up.

A group of people waiting outside the city gate poured into Lin'an City.

Mo Ye and Ah Ruan were surrounded by the surging flow of people and stepped into Lin'an City, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, for the first time.

……

Finally got rid of a group of enthusiastic courtiers, Jia Rudao just walked out of the gate of the imperial city, and saw across the road, Meng Heng sitting on a war horse and waving at him, and on the war horse behind him, a slender figure wrapped in a black robe appeared from time to time.

That's, Liu Ru?

Jia Rudao's heart perked, and he hurriedly strode towards Meng Heng. Seeing Jia Rudao coming, Meng Heng turned over and dismounted. Liu Ru followed closely and fell lightly to the ground, without even a trace of dust splashing.

This scene made Jia Rudao's heart even hotter.

"It seems that I have seen Meng Shuai."

"In time, I'm afraid that the old man will have to pay a salute to you." Meng Hui looked at Jia Yidao and said with a half-truth.

In the year before he arrived, less than three months after stepping into the officialdom, Jia Rudao has gone through the official career that most people may not be able to complete in their lives, and this is not the end, just a starting point. With such a young Jia Yidao, it is conceivable that in the next few decades, if there is no accident, at least the position of Zaifu will not be able to escape.

Of course, this is an optimistic estimate. However, thinking about Zhao Yun's favor to Jia Yidao, thinking about Jia Guifei, the only one in the harem who gave birth to Zhao Yun with blood and now has a dragon seed in her belly, it seems that it is impossible for something pessimistic to happen.

"Meng Shuai......" Jia Rudao looked at Meng Heng with a wry smile.

"Ha Luha, it seems to be like the way, it is really like the way, the old man seems to be too worried." Meng Heng's expression froze, and he said solemnly: "Shi Gong asked the old man to tell him that when he was ugly last night, Qiao Gong faced the saint late at night. ”

Jia Rudao's eyes couldn't help but freeze when he heard Meng Heng's words.

"Maybe I'm too worried, but it seems that Dao is young and ambitious, and I'm afraid that there will be many people staring at it in the future, so be more careful." Meng Hui changed the topic and said with relief, but his expression was a little complicated.

Actually, there were some things he didn't say.

There are some things that some courtiers can't see, but how can Shi Songzhi, who has been immersed in officialdom for decades, not know? The mystery is on the two titles that Zhao Yun gave Jia Yidao.

Jia Rudao is a Wenchen, and there is nothing wrong with waiting for the title from the Baohe Hall of the Fourth Grade, but although the rank of Captain of the Light Car is said to be the fourth grade, this title is generally given when the military generals are rewarded, not Wenchen.

However, Zhao Yun directly added two titles to Jia Yidao today, and the rank of captain of the fourth grade is still in front, and the meaning revealed in this is very intriguing.

Qiao Xingjian faced the saint late at night, although there are not many people who know the Dao, but Shi Songzhi naturally has his way to know these things. After all, no matter how Qiao Xingjian is, he can only walk through the gate of the Imperial City, and he can't fly in, right?

In Shi Songzhi's opinion, the reason why Zhao Yun suddenly added one article and one martial arts title to Jia Nidao was either that he had no other meaning, or Qiao Xingjian, who had not made any moves, finally gave Jia Nidao or Shi Song's eye medicine when he faced the saint last night.

From any point of view, it is impossible for Qiao Xingjian to watch Shi Song's faction add another heavyweight boost, and this help is still so young.

According to Shi Songzhi's understanding, Qiao Xingjian may not be targeting Jia Yidao, but him.

Most of Qiao Xingjian's backbone supporters in the court are courtiers of the School of Science, and the courtiers of the School of Science and the Shi family are as close as water and fire. Countless times to liquidate some of the things that Shi Miyuan did back then, but they were finally suppressed by Zhao Yun.

"See, understood! also asked Meng Shuai to thank Shi Gong for his protection. ”

Jia Rudao sighed in his heart, some things seem to be impossible to hide after all. If you do it now, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to please both sides, but it is more likely that you will offend both sides.

Fortunately, although Shi Songzhi will fall sooner or later, won't it be a few years later? At least now Shi Songzhi is thriving, isn't it?

There are many things that can be changed in a few years.

"This word of thanks, I'm afraid that the old man can't give it to him. It seems that if you are free, you should come to the door and tell Shi Gong in person. ”

"Meng Shuai, this is? Leaving Beijing? ”

Jia Rudao was shocked.

"Well, this return to Beijing was to ask His Majesty to allow the old man to send troops from Huangzhou to recover the two important towns of Jingxiang. But unexpectedly, the assassination incident delayed this ten days, and now that it is over, His Majesty has also promised the old man to send troops to Jingxiang, and the old man must return to the camp as soon as possible to prepare. ”

Meng Hui did not hide such a military secret from Jia Nidao, but there was really no need to conceal it, after all, Jia Nidao was already in charge of the Detective Department, and if he wanted to enter Jingxiang, he would inevitably need the strong cooperation of the Detective Department.

For Meng Hui's battle of Jingxiang, Jia Rudao has some memories. After all, after Meng Hui's death, the reason why the Great Song Dynasty was able to hold out for decades relied on the three-dimensional defense system that Meng Hui recovered this year and built with the two important towns of Jingxiang.

This is also the origin of Meng Heng's title of "Master of Mobile Defense" in later generations.

"In this way, it seems that I wish Meng Shuai a great victory, a victory, and a victory." For the outcome of this battle, if the butterfly did not flap its wings, then the result was already doomed.

"Ha Luha, the old man is like a good word."
