Chapter 41: The Mysterious Bamboo Tower

The closer you get to Luoyang City, the more prosperous the scene on the road becomes, and the greater the flow of people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It was close to noon, and the group went up to the wide official road, which was paved with civil engineering, paved with stones, and used huge bluestone as the roadbed. In the past ten days, Liu Gan's excitement has become stronger and stronger: he is finally going to get rid of rookies and become a professional. And to say that Su Yun'er is the happiest, at least on the surface, she is completely different from the drowsy state she was in a few days ago, and she was excitedly clamoring to get off her mount and walk over. She was dazzled by all kinds of people selling things along the way, and all kinds of colorful and strange-shaped ornaments made him ecstatic, and many performances from time to time also made her shout excitedly: all in all, she was now in a state of extreme excitement.

Finally the group came to the checkpoint, and the four of them got off their mounts under the greeting of Qing Yu, with Han Zheng in charge of the mount, while Liu Qian and Su Yun'er followed Qing Yu into the city. The mount could be stored temporarily somewhere outside the city, so Han Zheng was not with the three of them. Liu Gan saw that Qing Yu paid 1 gold coin, and the general who guarded the city greeted him with a smile, skipped the inspection procedure, and directly asked if he wanted all kinds of services, from eating and lodging to scenic spots and entertainment, and even Liu Gan was specially introduced to the "Spring Full Building"! Qing Yu took it for granted to drive the junior officer away and walked into the city with the three of them. If Liu Gan was shocked by the scale of Luoyang City before he entered the city, then at this moment, in the face of the bustling flow of people and endless carriages and horses, he can only describe it as amazement. Compared with the excited Liu Qian and Su Yun'er, Qing Yi calmly told them to follow him, and this is just the outer Guo of Luoyang City, where half of the people live, and they have not yet entered the real Luoyang City!

Sure enough, after walking for nearly half an hour, the group came to a large city wall. The nearly 100-meter-high city wall was barely visible at its highest point, and there were square openings about a meter in size at intervals from the bottom to the top, which Qing Yu told him was used to scout the movements under the city walls, and that there were soldiers guarding them. As for the city wall that cannot see the whole picture, the imposing city gate can be seen at a glance: the city gate is a little smaller than the city wall, about 80 meters high, divided into a gate nearly 100 meters wide and thirteen small gates on the left and right, and the residents of Luoyang City enter and exit through the smallest gate. At the gates of the city, three teams of ten men patrolled back and forth, each of them a battle-hardened warrior in heavy armor. And if you want to say what is the most grandiose, then the huge plaque above the city gate is, not to mention the huge body shape, there are several big characters on it - "Xuanhui Gate". A moat crisscrosses the city walls, and the willow trees on both sides of the river are swaying, and the scenery is very beautiful. There is a stone bridge over the river, without a name. Liu Gan looked at him in a daze, and was very amazed. And Su Yun'er was attracted by all kinds of snacks, snacks, accessories and toys on both sides of the road, and her two big black eyes kept turning back and forth, looking here for a while, and looking there for a while. Qing Yu covered his mouth and chuckled when he saw the different expressions of the two, and said to Liu Gan: "What is this, I have the opportunity to take you to the 'Lijingmen' to see and understand!" Then he said to Su Yun'er: "Sister Yun'er, don't be dazzled here, there will be more fun in the city later!" ”

After waiting outside the city gate for nearly an hour, the four of them met again at about three o'clock in the afternoon. Qing Yu took the lead, and the four of them crossed the stone bridge and entered Luoyang City through the small gate. Luoyang City is well planned, after entering the door is a road, first out of a distance of the defense area, that is, the camp of the city defense army, the group came to the prosperous area of Luoyang City, although it is already afternoon here, but the sound of selling is still endless. Qing Yu led everyone to turn left and right, and came to a small one-story bungalow that was ordinary, the only interesting thing was that there was a small bamboo forest outside the house, and the house was also made of bamboo. Liu Qian followed behind and entered the door. And Su Yun'er was a little worried that the house that stepped on it would fall down directly. The bottom of the house is erected nearly a meter high, and the bottom is paved with bamboo, and you can see the void and the ground below. Although Liu Qian was curious, he no longer showed it, Luoyang and his party had already made him experience too much shock.

The interior of the house is also very simple, a bamboo curtain divides the room in half, and all you can see is a table, a few chairs, a few paintings hanging on the wall, and a zither placed on the wall. The place that can't be seen Liu Qian thought that it was probably the place where the master slept. This kind of arrangement should be a woman, which is Liu Gan's first thought. Han Zheng was silent all the way, and he didn't even enter the bamboo building, while Su Yun'er turned around and sighed: "What a beautiful house!" ”

"Who!" , a lazy voice came out. "No need to pretend, if you didn't know it was me, you would have kicked us out a long time ago!" Liu Qian thought at first that this woman seemed to be very familiar with Qing Gardenia, but judging from Qing Gardenia's cold performance, it didn't seem to be the case. Just when Liu Qian was still thinking, the bamboo curtain was lifted by a snowy hand, revealing a plump middle-aged woman with a beautiful face and exquisite dress, but a dress could not hide her proud figure. I saw her walk out with a smile on her face, and looked at Qing Yu stupidly: "You kid, you are always neither big nor small." The doting in his eyes has not diminished at all. Liu Qian seemed to have some enlightenment, but just when he felt that he was about to catch it, he was at a loss.

"What, what's bothering me this time?" The woman's eyes did not leave Qing Yu, and she ignored Liu Qian and Su Yun'er on the side. This made Su Yun'er a little unhappy, she rubbed Liu Gan with her shoulder, and said softly: "This woman is so strange!" Liu Ganshen thought so and nodded silently. At this time, he was already able to fully see the woman's physical features, although the cloud sideburns covered the ears of the features, and the word "Qingyan" on the top of the head was clear, which made Liu Qian difficult: Is it a sister or a mother and daughter?

"I beg you for one thing, as a condition, I will stay in Lingxu Valley for three months." The indifference on Qing Yu's face was unabated, and the words that came out of his mouth seemed to make the air cold.

"What is so important that you have given up the freedom you value most?" The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and when she turned around, she just saw Liu Gan and Su Yun'er, she ignored Su Yun'er, and her eyes stopped fixedly on Liu Gan. "What, surprised?" Qing Yu seems to be very interested in the woman's mood changes, but when she speaks, her mouth changes the taste, but it seems to be cynical and unpleasant.

However, Qingyan didn't speak, his eyes still looked at Liu Gan, and two lines of tears came out of his eyes, but he didn't want to close his eyes at all, as if the person in front of him disappeared as soon as he closed his eyes.
