Chapter Ninety-Three: The Mountain is High and the Road is Long

On the day of the small year in 839 AD, Chang'an City had a New Year's meaning. Children with hanging buns and setting off firecrackers are one of their favorite games. The sporadic and piecemeal sound of firecrackers renders up the festive atmosphere.

Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky. Adults are busy sweeping the dust, cutting window flowers, bathing and haircuts, sugar melon sacrifice stove, and the New Year is coming.

A team of men and horses escorted five inconspicuous felt carriages out of Zheng's mansion. Along Suzaku Avenue, drive towards Mingdeomun Gate.

At the city gate, an old man with gray sideburns staggered out of the carriage. Standing under the majestic city gate, looking at the direction of the palace, he stood silently for a long time.

The guards stood by the old man's side, watching around warily. A woman with gray sideburns got out of the car, walked up to the old man, and softly persuaded, "Master, it's time for us to leave." ”

The old man bowed three times to the palace, turned around and got into the car. The group walked out of the city gate and left Chang'an City. This old man is Zheng Su, who went to Gangneung to take up his post. Zheng Su arrived at the post and resigned from the post of Zhongshu waiter.

On the upper floor of the imperial city of Danfeng Gate, on the towering city tower, the wind is howling. Wenzong had been standing for a long time, so long that Wenzong felt that the blood on his body was frozen, and his body was stiff. Looking from the tower of Danfeng Gate, the bustling carriages and horses and the flow of people on the street have become small. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

His people are busy welcoming the New Year, right? He longed for the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, where the rice was fat and the corn was white, and the public and private warehouses were abundant. There are no jackals on the roads of Kyushu Island, and the sun rises far away.

Wenzong sighed deeply, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was already the glory of the past, and it was powerless to reproduce it in his hands. He looked into the distance, Zheng Gong's trip was far away, and he cherished it all the way. Wen Zong said silently in his heart. The sun hung pale and bleakly in the sky, as if it could not bear to see the two monarchs part. The mountain loop turns around, and the snow leaves a place for horses.

"Your Majesty, it's windy up the castle." Cui Shen reminded softly, his hands and feet were cold, not to mention Wenzong's thin body. Only then did Wenzong move his feet, which were a little numb from the cold, and moved back to the palace.

Although the murderer is still at large, as time goes by, the turmoil of Zheng Su's assassination is slowly forgotten. The courtiers performed their duties step by step.

Li Jue was silent in the Zichen Palace, and the stubborn old man who worked together on weekdays left gloomily today. "Li Aiqing is not feeling well?" Wenzong asked with concern, "The minister is fine, Your Majesty." ”

Li Jue looked lonely and worried, the old master was the minister of the humerus, and he picked up a life under the sword. Now that he is going to Jiangling, the imperial court has not practiced it for him.

Li Jue was upset for Zheng Suming, and thinking about it like this, his heart was also cold. In fact, Li Jue wronged Wenzong, not because Wenzong was unkind, but because Wenzong was speechless and relied on as a minister.

There are those who are saddened by Zheng Su's departure, and of course, there are those who celebrate because of his departure.

From 835 A.D. to 839 A.D., the activity space of willow leaves was confined to the suburbs of Beijing for more than three years. She went to Chang'an City once, and happened to meet Jiang Yao, who came back from afar, and saved her from a serious illness and coma.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, after the willow leaf pranayama was completed in the early morning, and the two had breakfast, Jiang Yao took out two Hu clothes of the same color, and the milky white brocade was embroidered with a bamboo pattern. "Ye'er, let's go somewhere, celebrate the festival today, and take a rest."

Liu Ye was unmoved, shook his head and refused, carried a wooden sword to the courtyard, and swung his sword at a rockery-like boulder. You can't eat for a day, you can't practice kung fu for a day, she started late, and she can use it for two days a day.

In the early spring, everything revives and plants sprout. Jiang Yao moved back to this boulder to give the old locust tree a recuperation and respite. Every day, it is poisoned by willow leaves, and the iron tree can't stand it.

The bluestone slab was covered with a bearskin cushion, and Jiang Yao sat on it to meditate. Liu Ye completed the quota and sat down on the side. "Shall we go into town?" Jiang Yao asked her, Liu Ye: "Master," Liu Ye didn't want to spoil Jiang Yao's interest, "Is it okay for me to go like this?" "With Li Baochuan's face, what if I run into my family?

Jiang Yao took a hat made of light tulle for her, and brought one himself. "What are you doing with this Rausch?" Both men were dressed as men, but they wore a hat that only women wear. "Red face and trouble, you enter the city with this face, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, you can only cover it." "I'm just afraid that Master's face is the trouble." "Each other, each other."

Jiang Yao grabbed her shoulder and looked at it, nodded and said; "The beauty can't be hidden, and the saro shines through." Jiang Yao found the mask he used when he was in Xunyang and put it on Liu Ye. Liu Ye let Jiang Yao help her change her face and pick it up, Jiang Yao looked at it carefully, couldn't help laughing, and put the hat on her head again.

"Wear a hat and save yourself the fear of going out at night." The beautiful and ugly willow leaves don't care, as long as they can hide their whereabouts. "Master is using this face to set off your peerless appearance." Jiang Yao: "This is a bad word, my face doesn't need to be foiled, it has its own halo." Liu Ye pinched the light and breathable mask, and his tone was smiling; What material? It's certainly not impregnable. Jiang Yao: "??? ”

The two rode out on horseback, it was already waning, the sun was about to set, and the sky was covered with rose-red cloud brocade.

Yue Ying carried the two of them to the city gate, which was towering. When she walked out of this city gate, Li Baochuan was frozen at the age of fourteen. Now stepping into the city gate again is a man with a false face and a name named Willow Leaf.

"Ye'er," Jiang Yao called her softly, and Liu Ye looked back at Jiang Yao, "I almost forgot what the lantern looks like, let's go see the lantern." "The incense car in the city blocked the road, Jiang Yao deposited Yue Ying in the inn, and pulled the willow leaves into the flow of people to enjoy the lanterns.

Liu Ye looked at the people dressed in beautiful clothes around her, and looked at the lights and trees on the side of the street like fire trees and silver flowers, and everything in front of her seemed to her as if she was in a different world.

People are playing a game of 'hooking' in an open space, and the personnel of both sides are pulling the rope hard, and a large flag is erected in the middle, and the drums are beating loudly, cheering for the two teams.

You will be dragged by the other party for a while, and you will be dragged by the other party for a while. Jiang Yao pulled the willow leaves to squeeze into the crowd, the game was in a stalemate, and the audience's eyes moved with the two parties. Some applaud the dominant side, and some cheer for the passive side.

The long streets are full of all kinds of lanterns, stretching into the distance, like a galaxy sprinkled on the earth. The towering lighthouse is adorned with lanterns, and the lanterns hanging high are like the bright moon.

This towering lantern wheel was built outside the Anfu Gate and is a huge lantern wheel, which is 20 zhang high. It is wrapped with colorful silk brocade and decorated with gold and silver. The lantern wheel hangs 50,000 lanterns, like colorful flowers and trees. Even if you are far away, you can see the bright light of the light wheel.
