All the way through the mountains and rivers, the more you go north, the fewer and fewer miserable scenes, maybe these places were conquered by the Song army very early, and the common people gradually lived and worked in peace and contentment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the way, Lu Fei forgot the time, only knew that it was a depressed autumn day when he left Jiangling City, and when he arrived at Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, it was autumn again, and it was difficult for him to imagine how this road had come over, relying on a pair of legs for thousands of miles, but he was afraid that no one would believe him when he went home in the future and told others.

What he saw and heard along the way also made him vaguely know some of the characteristics of this era, which is similar to the end of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in Chinese history, the background of the early Song Dynasty, before this everything is almost the same as the real history, the late Tang Dynasty feudal towns were in chaos in the world, the Central Plains was chaotic, and the heroes sang and I appeared, until one day everything suddenly deviated from the historical trajectory, and the founder of the Great Song Dynasty became a person named Zhao Jiong, this year is the second year of the Taiping rejuvenation of the Great Song Dynasty, and the second year of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

Lu Fei also heard something about the Li Tang Dynasty after the demise, after the recruitment of Cao Bin to destroy the Tang Dynasty, it didn't take long to move back to the dynasty, I heard that it was the Liao people in the north who went south again, Cao Bin led the troops to the north to resist the Liao, the two armies fought in Yanmen Pass, the war fought for more than four months, the dead were uncountable, until later neither of the two sides could not move before the truce, each led troops and returned, at this time Cao Bin has been the official to the Great Song Dynasty Privy Envoy, is the highest military position in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

The autumn in the north is very cold, Lu Fei stood on the busy street, pulled the clothes on his body that were already torn, and tried to warm himself as much as possible, but unfortunately, the clothes were either broken or leaked, but fortunately, he was strong and could grit his teeth and endure it.

Although the weather is cold, Lu Fei is very excited, he is used to seeing the ruins of this road, and finally saw what it means to be prosperous, the whole capital is composed of three parts, the outermost layer is called the outer city, which is the place where the ordinary people of Pingtou live, there is no city wall on the periphery, and the pattern of the houses is also uneven, and the outer city has been stretched inward until the city wall stops.

Passing through the Xuande Gate, you came to the inner city, as soon as you enter the city gate, you will feel that there are two worlds outside the city, here the merchants gather, the streets are wide, the traffic is busy, all kinds of shops stand next to each other, and the cries of selling one after another are endless.

Walking along the royal street, you can see the tall and majestic palace from a distance, which is the core area of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the forbidden area of the imperial city, and the place where the heavenly home of ordinary people and ordinary people look up.

Lu Fei walked along the royal street like this, all the way to the flowers, until the forbidden guards at the Suzaku Gate (the main gate of the palace) stopped him, and he had to return to reality after being excited, leaving the Suzaku Gate, wandering aimlessly on the unknown streets, hungry in his stomach, cold on his body, and then looking at this prosperous and unfamiliar Kyoto, without relatives.

Leaving the royal street and walking on the side road, along the side of the road, from time to time you can see a few beggars curled up in the corner, their whole bodies filthy, a pair of empty eyes staring blankly at the passers-by, from time to time someone threw a few copper plates in the broken bowl in front of them, he immediately kowtowed, a thousand thanks.

It turned out that there were so many unbearable things behind this prosperity, Lu Fei had nowhere to go, so he had to find a sunny corner of the wall, leaning against the wall and sitting down, which was no different from the beggar asking for food opposite, except that there was one less broken bowl in front of him.

Lu Fei leaned against the wall, looked at the dazzling sky, and thought about why he came here to seek justice for the Tang army captives who died in Jiangling City. How unrealistic this idea is, even where to stay at night and what to eat is a luxury, the capital is not wild, and there is no place to find even a belly-wrapped wild fruit, let alone a game meal.

Hungry like this, Lu Fei fell asleep dizzily, and he didn't know how long it took, until he was awakened by a noisy noise, he opened his eyes and saw several strong men on the street pulling a woman who was passing in front of him domineeringly, the woman's eyes were red and swollen, crying and crying, and from time to time she wanted to break free of the hand that was pulling her, and rubbed her little feet on the stone slab.

Behind these people was a group of ordinary people who seemed to be watching the excitement, pointing and listening to the gossip, as if they were accusing this group of strong men of going too far, but no one came out to stop them.

When these people walked in front of Lu Fei, the woman suddenly slipped under her feet and fell to the ground, and then she refused to get up again, begging in a crying tone: "Masters, you are doing well, let me go, please, I will pay back the money slowly."

When Lu Fei heard this, it turned out that he owed people money, but the way of asking for accounts was a little rougher, and he didn't know how to pity such a weak woman.

Several strong men saw that she couldn't get up on the ground, and one of them shouted: "Tell you, either pay back the money today, or go with the master obediently, and pay off the gambling debts, even if you see the official, our masters are reasonable, besides, your man has agreed, and the money he owes will be paid by you, get up, don't go and don't blame the masters for being rude."

The woman was so frightened that she crawled on the bluestone slab to the crowd behind her, her pitiful eyes searched the faces of everyone, and she wanted someone to come out and administer justice for her, but unfortunately, no one stood up, except an old man with a cane stood in the crowd and stretched out a thin hand, wanting to speak and stopping, in a dilemma.

"Shoubo, save me, don't let them take me away, save me, they are going to sell me to the kiln," the woman pinned her last hope on the old man.

The old man who was called Shou Bo looked sorry, shook his head helplessly, sighed and said to himself: "Evil, evil"

At that moment, one of the woman's feet was grabbed, and at the same time several strong men surrounded her, and pulled her from the ground like chickens, and one of them reached out to a mouth, until the corner of the woman's mouth oozed blood.

As soon as the strong man finished the fight, he said viciously: "Accept your fate, go honestly with the masters, and avoid the pain of flesh and skin" After saying that, he raised his hand again, and made a gesture to fight again, the woman's face was pale and she shrank her neck, not daring to make a sound.

Lu Fei really couldn't stand it, and he also heard a rough idea, it seemed that this woman's man owed these people gambling debts, and her man couldn't repay them, so he mortgaged his wife to them, wow, this kind of thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

The strong man's raised hand did not fall for a long time, but instead twisted his face and bowed his waist in pain, it turned out that his hand was tightly clasped by Lu Fei.

"Who the are you, let go, let go" The strong man stretched out his other hand to clasp Lu Fei's fingers, but he couldn't break them.

Lu Fei was also very obedient, and with a flick of his hand, the strong man couldn't stand, and was thrown to the ground, throwing himself on his back, causing the onlookers to laugh.

Lu Fei arched his hands and said: "Brothers, I'm offended, it seems unreasonable to force good people to advocate in broad daylight."

Several strong men stepped forward to help the man on the ground up, the man's face was as black as charcoal, he looked very burly, he rubbed his wrist that was pinched by Lu Fei, and he still looked arrogant and said: "You, who are you, what is the matter with you?"

The woman seemed to have grasped the last straw to save her life, and quickly shrank behind Lu Fei, Lu Fei suddenly felt good, and the sense of justice of the hero to save the beauty doubled.

Lu Fei smiled and arched his hand, "I'm a passerby, a few big brothers, I have to be forgiving and forgiving, and there is no need to hurt her innocence if I owe money."

When a few strong men heard this, they immediately showed a look of disdain on his face, and the black-faced man also relied on the crowd, pointing at Lu Fei and saying: "Stinky and hungry, nosy business, look for a fight, brother, beat him"

Suddenly, several strong men hulala surrounded Lu Fei, and they really started fighting without saying a word, but Lu Fei was not afraid, but he frightened the woman hiding behind him and screamed.
