In the scorching summer heat, the air is filled with scorching waves, mixed with the wind, blowing on people's faces, and they don't feel a trace of coolness.

On the official road, a white horse was tied to a large poplar tree, with its head bowed and gnawing on the grass under its feet. From time to time, horse-drawn carriages pass by on the official road. The sound of creaking wheels made Xiao Yao, who was resting against the big tree, frown slightly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Move! ”

At this moment, on the official road, three tall horses galloped from a distance, and one of the three raised his whip and shouted, causing the pedestrians on the road to dodge the road. Everywhere I passed, dust was flying.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!! ~”

The three of them rode past Xiao Yao, and the dust stirred up filled Xiao Yao's surroundings, and they immediately choked and coughed.

"I, grass, you, grandma!"

Xiao Yao scolded, but the three of them had already ridden away, and they couldn't hear Xiao Yao's scolding at all.

After a long day of trekking, and after a burst of dust, the white clothes on his body completely turned earthy. There is no clean place on the body.

The whole body was patted up and down, and every time I slapped it, it always stirred up a cloud of dust.

"Grandma, Lao Tzu caught up with you and stomped your face flat!"

Turning over the horse, he wanted to move forward, and a carriage came from behind. Xiao Yao asked casually, only to know that the arrogant and domineering three people just now were the famous Dong family evil young man in the capital and his two evil slaves.

After thanking him, Xiao Yao rode his horse to chase after him, and after traveling more than 20 miles, there were gradually more people. Seeing the backs of the three people, Xiao Yao clamped the horse's belly between his legs, slapped the horse's back with one hand, and accelerated the previous pursuit.

When they came to the city, pedestrians lined up in a long line and checked under the city gate one by one to enter the city. Xiao Yao didn't know it, and rode to the door and was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

Seeing that the three of them hurriedly entered the city before, disappeared into the street in a blink of an eye, and did not even slow down, where they passed, pedestrians retreated, giving way to both sides of the road, everyone complained, but dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. The soldiers defending the city turned a blind eye.

Xiao Yao rode on a horse and asked the soldiers who stopped him, "Why are you blocking this son?" ”

The two soldiers who stopped Xiao Yao looked at each other, then laughed, and looked at Xiao Yao covered in dust with disdain, "I'm bah! Hurry up and dismount Lao Tzu! With your virtue, you still dare to call yourself a son? Where did the mountain village man come from, obediently line up behind the uncle! ”

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly in his heart, it is really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles. After taking care of himself, his current outfit is really like the people of the mountains and wilderness that they say.

Looking back at the long line of 100 people, his brows furrowed slightly, this will be lined up until the Year of the Monkey. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, and it was inconvenient to break in, he sighed helplessly, took out a few taels of silver from his arms, greeted the two, and threw them to the two.

In general, this trick still works.

One of them swept the broken silver in his hand, threw it to the other person, and sneered at Xiao Yao with his head held high, "Look at you who look poor and sour!" Say that you are a mountain villager, and you still feel wronged! Are you calling Hanako? If you don't have money, stand aside, and line up obediently behind Lao Tzu, you don't have money to pretend to be an uncle?! Cut~"

"I'm !! Day" Xiao Yao couldn't help but scold in his heart. I didn't expect that Ben Gongzi hadn't entered the city yet, but he was despised by two people who watched the gate! Could it be that just because this is the Imperial City of the Son of Heaven, everyone who is an official, even a small doorman watching the gate, is it so arrogant?

Nima, it's unbearable! Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it either! Looking at the expressions of the two soldiers in front of him, he was angry, give you face, you are still energetic!

Xiao Yao dismounted lightly, came to the soldier, showed an intoxicating smile, and asked: "People are born to people, and demons are born to demons, what is your surname?" ”

The soldier was stunned by Xiao Yao's question, and he didn't understand what the situation was. The smile on Xiao Yao's face was still so bright.

Syllable! ~ A loud slap in the soldier's face. Xiao Yao was able to handle it accurately, and slapped the soldier into a daze. The surrounding people lined up to enter the city burst into exclamations.

"Dare to hit someone?! Rebellion! Another soldier saw that Xiao Yao was more arrogant than himself and the others, where could he stand it, raised the stick in his hand and smashed it on Xiao Yao's head.

Xiao Yao easily snatched the long stick in the soldier's hand, raised it high above his head, and quickly rotated it more than ten times in his hand, and with a whoosh, the long stick came out of his hand.

Bang!

Shocked by everyone around him, one end of the long stick slammed into the wall on the side of the gate, and the rest of it buzzed on the wall.

The two soldiers looked at the long stick inserted in the wall in shock, instantly broke out in a cold sweat, turned around and looked at Xiao Yao in horror. The movement here caused countless people around to stop and look. Soon, several more soldiers arrived to check on the situation.

"What's going on?" The first one asked the two in a hurry. Looks like the captain of several people.

Xiao Yao came to the man's side, took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his arms, handed it to him privately, and said with a smile: "I just had some misunderstanding with the two officials, and now I have explained it clearly." ”

The person who came suddenly smiled, naturally put the silver ticket into his arms, bypassed Xiao Yao and came to the two subordinates, and snapped~ One person slapped him.

"How do you check the post if you don't open your eyes? How does the captain teach you? Be polite to guests from afar! Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? ”

immediately criticized the two of them. Then he turned to Xiao Yao and flattered: "Hehe, it's indeed a misunderstanding, don't be surprised, don't be surprised, we are also acting on orders." Recently, the city has not been very peaceful, so the people entering the city will be examined one by one. However, looking at Childe's personable demeanor and dignified appearance, he will definitely not be the person we want to investigate. ”

"Childe, please enter the city~" politely explained a few words to Xiao Yao, and ordered the soldiers to flash to both sides, allowing Xiao Yao to pass guò.

Xiao Yao smiled secretly in his heart, with such a guard, it is strange to be able to catch talents. With a grateful look on his face, he mounted his horse and rode into the city.

Sure enough, it is the capital of a country, with wide streets that can accommodate at least five horse-drawn carriages running through Guò in parallel, and the roads under your feet are paved with huge stones, flat and heavy.

At noon, the streets are full of people and traffic. After walking half a mile, I came to the door of a restaurant.

Seeing the three horses tied in front of the restaurant, I couldn't help but light up. It's really a narrow road. Looking up, the three big words "Welcome Guesthouse" came into view.

When I entered the restaurant, I looked around and didn't see the familiar back. I don't think the three of them will dine with ordinary people in the lobby on the first floor. This kind of person attaches great importance to identity. As the saying goes, it is to love face and talk about pomp. In Xiao Yao's words, this kind of person loves to pretend to be forced, and he has to look superior at any time.

Now that you have guessed that they are dining here, there is no hurry. Find an empty table and sit down, order a few side dishes and a bottle of wine, eat and drink, and wait for the three of them to go downstairs.

After a while, a weak girl walked in outside the door, dressed in simple clothes. The clothes were shabby, but they were clean. Holding a pipa that looked to be some years old, she walked slowly to the central empty field, and Xiao Er had already moved the bench for her to sit down.

The girl had a delicate face, looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, sat on the bench, fine-tuned the pipa in her hand a few times, and then played it gently.

The sound of the pipa is tactful and melodious, and it is very penetrating. Immediately attracted the attention of all the diners in the hall, even Xiao Yao was no exception. Just to see the real face, I just want to know what a wonderful person it must be to be able to play such an elegant fairy sound.
