The imperial capital of Gusu

The canal waterway, crisscrossing the city, eventually converges on the canal. Since the founding emperor of the Great Calendar set the capital here, there is a canal on the other side of the natural Wang Qi steaming, the treasure of the sky, extremely rich.

Because of the endless flow of merchants from the north and south passing through Gusu, there are people checking when they enter and exit the city gate to prevent people with ill intentions from entering the imperial capital. In the crowd of people, a carriage was slightly abrupt, and the young man driving was cold but handsome, which frequently attracted the sideways glances of passers-by.

The carriage looked unremarkable, and if you were knowledgeable, you would be able to recognize that the carriage was actually quite expensive. The body is carved from rosewood, and the curtain is a unique silk yarn of the South China Sea, which cannot be seen from the outside, but can be seen from the inside and outside. The other layer of bead curtains is made of pearls of equal size, round and shiny.

Merchants have already recognized the carriage as its own, and the emblem on the carriage indicates that the carriage is from the Luoyang Xie family. It's just not just who the people in the car are.

Xu waited for a long time, and the curtain was lifted. A girl in a red cloth poked her head out and said, "Zhuo Jing, I have discussed it with Miss, and it will take a lot of time according to this investigation." It's really stuffy in this car, so it's better to let the lady come out and breathe."

Zhuo Jing did not answer, but looked at the person who was blocked by the girl, and saw that the other party nodded, so he agreed with the girl in Zhuyi's words. After seeing him jump out of the carriage neatly, the girl in the red clothes carried the machine and put it firmly before lifting the curtain. A pair of hands as white as jade were placed behind the palm of the girl in the red clothes, and then the woman in the white skirt appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Originally, the merchant who was still guessing who the owner of the carriage was, and he probably knew in his heart that the only person who could make the Xie family have such a big deal was the Xie family's daughter-Xie Yaoguang. It's no wonder that the Xie family loves this woman so much, the Xie family has only seen men but not women for generations, and in addition, Xie Ze'an is an old woman, can he not love this woman very much? His four sons take good care of this sister and can't tolerate bullying by others.

Xie Yaoguang stood quietly in the crowd, looked up into the distance, and his eyes fell on the city wall, the emperor deserved to be the imperial capital. Even the walls are so majestic that they are unlike any other. Outside the city walls, the crowd flowed endlessly and marched in an orderly manner. Suddenly, a group of horsemen rode by, and the dust flew from the horses' hooves.

Her gaze followed the horsemen, and then returned to the gates. A sneer appeared on her lips, and she had met an old friend just now. It's just that I don't know if the old people in this prosperous imperial capital still remember the past? A gust of breeze blew and picked up a few strands of green silk, and then fell on the surface again, raised his hand to brush the green silk, and his smile gradually eased.

"Miss, why is this line getting slower and slower. Would you like to find a place to rest first?"

Xie Yaoguang shook his head, indicating that it didn't matter. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a woman holding a girl staggering to one side, carefully avoiding the crowd. Seeing this, Xie Yaoguang slowly walked to the two of them, looked at the girl, and praised: "This little girl is quite cute."

Hearing this, the girl looked at Xie Yaoguang in the moon-white skirt, and smiled at the deep beaded pupils: "Sister, you are also very good-looking."

When the words fell, the woman hurriedly pulled the girl away and looked at Xie Yaoguang vigilantly. lest Xie Yaoguang have any intentions for her daughter, Xie Yaoguang knew what the woman was thinking but didn't care. Taking advantage of the woman's inattention, she shoved a piece of silver into the skirt of the girl's garment, and then walked away slowly.

At this moment, another commotion broke out in the crowd. Out of nowhere, a group of people brutally pulled the women on the road and looked at them one by one. Catching a glimpse of the panicked appearance of the mother and daughter just now, Xie Yaoguang squinted his eyes and looked slightly cold. The group of people suddenly saw Xie Yaoguang, who was the tallest in the crowd, and glanced at each other and walked over quickly.

"Yo, cousin, why don't you say a word to your cousin when you come to Gusu. It's easy to find my cousin," the man at the head couldn't help but pull Xie Yaoguang's sleeve and was about to count it.

Xie Yaoguang raised slightly, and the cold color gradually appeared in his pupils. Dan's lips raised a hint of good-looking arc and reprimanded: "Let go"

The man didn't seem to see the two people beside Xie Yaoguang, and his demeanor became more and more bold, as if he really knew Xie Yaoguang.

Zhuo Jing's expression was cold, he stepped forward to block Xie Yaoguang behind him, grabbed the man's wrist and forced him to let go, the wrist bone sank slightly, and the man exclaimed in pain with a little force, pointed at Zhuo Jing and scolded Xie Yaoguang again: "Cousin! How can you condone the murder of your subordinates, look at what your cousin's hands have become now"

There are more and more people watching the excitement around. Although this man looks like a poor villager, he is still handsome, and he can't keep it, which distant relative of the Xie family is, and it is not impossible for him to have some personal relationship with this Miss Xie family. After all, this book often writes about the story of this lady falling in love with the son of a poor family and finally eloping.

Zhuo Jing glanced at the man and kicked him to the ground. stepped on his heart, and there was a hidden murderous intent in his eyes: "I don't think you have to keep this hand"

"What do you want to do! This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven" The man who was still arrogant instantly changed his attitude and shouted loudly: "Help! Someone's going to kill someone."

The man's voice was surprisingly loud, which naturally attracted the soldiers stationed at the city gate to investigate. Running quickly, a person glanced at the person who fell to the ground and hugged his arms and exclaimed loudly, turned his head to Xie Yaoguang, and saw that the other party was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, and he had a plan in his heart, and a few respectful looks appeared on his face.

"The girl dared to ask what had happened? Why did this man ......?"

"Oh, you said he," Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and glanced at the person on the ground, took the handkerchief handed over by Suzaku, wiped his fingers carelessly, and sneered: "It's not a big deal, it's just that this person harassed me for no reason." I kept saying that he was my cousin and that he was acting debauched, and this was taught a lesson by my guards. ”

The original onlookers echoed this when they heard this, and scolded the man lying on the ground in unison, explaining that it was this person who couldn't help but say that he was looking for a young and beautiful woman in the crowd, and when he saw the beauty of this young lady, he was afraid that he would have a bad intention, so he entangled with others. This young lady came from a prominent and wealthy family, how could she be the cousin of such a vulgar village man.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the man quickly got up from the ground, shook aside the crowd of onlookers and ran away. Xie Yaoguang's eyes hooked his lips, and a cold light appeared in his pupils: "Zhuo Jing"

Zhuo Jing dodged and disappeared to Xie Yaoguang's side. However, after a short while, the man who had just escaped was dragged back, and he was afraid that he would be beaten for a long time when he saw his blue nose and swollen face.

Xie Yaoguang slowly walked in front of the man, and said with a cold sneer: "Why do you want to leave?" When am I going to let you go?"

"Girl, according to the law, this person should be handed over to Jing Zhaoyin to deal with, Jing Zhaoyin will naturally give the girl an explanation" He hesitated for a while, saw Xie Yaoguang's expression, and then said: "Please also ask the girl's subordinates to be merciful." You still don't hand over the two people to Jing Zhaoyin over there."

Seeing that the person was taken away, Xie Yaoguang didn't say much, just thanked him. And he saw the sergeant go away with the man. The mother and daughter walked away immediately, and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye. Xie Yaoguang didn't care about the departure of the mother and daughter at all, but instead motioned to Suzaku to help her back, closing the curtain to block the curious eyes of all parties.

"Miss, is that person so easy to let go?"

"Then what can I do, anyway, he won't be much better when he enters Jing Zhaoyin" Xie Yaoguang lowered his eyes to cover his pupils, leaned against the wall of the car and said: "I'm tired, wake me up when I enter the city"

"I get angry when I think of the mother and daughter just now, if it weren't for Miss, I'm afraid they would have been taken away a long time ago. But they didn't even say thank you," Suzaku rebuked with an indignant face.

"They are also poor people, so why bother with them?"

"Miss is kind-hearted!"

Xie Yaoguang chuckled and acquiesced to Suzaku's words, leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes and took a nap. About a stick of incense, the carriage finally stepped into the crowded Gusu City in the twilight, and the sound of the waves and oars could be heard. Half lifted the curtain and looked at the prosperous Fusheng in the city, and there was inevitably a trace of sourness in my heart. Even in recent years, she has often traveled between Gusu and Luoyang, but now she has come in another posture, and her mood is naturally different from usual. After the carriage entered the city, it took half a pillar of incense to arrive at the property under Xie Yaoguang's name-Hug Moon and Star Tower.

The shopkeeper in the building got a letter early in the morning and knew that Xie Yaoguang was coming, so he ordered someone to go outside the building to greet him. As soon as the others arrived, they led the people directly to the backyard, so as not to disturb their masters. When Xie Yaoguang arrived, no one else knew, so he went directly to the water pavilion in the backyard to rest.

The fragrant soup had already been prepared in the water pavilion for Xie Yaoguang, who had been tired all the way. Xie Yaoguang remembered the scene at the city gate, and instructed Suzaku to throw away the skirt directly, and change into a primrose-colored skirt, and re-freshen it before people called the shopkeeper.

"Subordinate Bai Lu to meet the master," Bai Lu knelt down on one knee and saluted Xie Yaoguang with a fist.

Xie Yaoguang raised his hand to signal Bai Lu to get up. took the teacup handed over by Suzaku, held the teacup in one hand and the tea lid in the other, raised his eyes and looked at Bai Lu and praised: "You have done a good job over the years, Zhuo Jing is really a good person."

"The master is polite, these are all subordinate matters. Besides, if Lord Zhuo Jing hadn't helped him at the beginning, where would there be such a person as Bai Lu in this world," Bai Lu responded respectfully to Xie Yaoguang's words, and said: "Master, today Miss Su Wan from the Guogong Mansion will meet with a close friend in the building. You ......"

Xie Yaoguang knew the meaning of her words. After a pause in the foaming hand, she looked down at the tea and was silent for a long time. And the pair of jet-black bead pupils were a little obscure, and there was no emotion at all. After a long time, she secretly sighed, picked up the teacup and drank it all, and then at that moment, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, and she was gradually overwhelmed by the determination.

From the moment the layout is laid, something is destined to be discarded. Including herself, she may become a pawn in this game to lure the enemy deeper. Since she is not lost by heaven, she must live with the expectations of the old and live well, even becoming a sword that cuts through the darkness.

He closed his eyes and stabilized his emotions, and when he opened his eyes again, his posture had changed. Xie Yaoguang walked through the bustling flower clusters, helped the flowers and trees for a while, and arrived at the front building of the Moon and Star Tower. At this moment, the day market has stopped, and when the night market first opens, you can overlook the city market on the third floor, where the lights are bustling and the pedestrians are prosperous. Downstairs, you can see the boats in the waterway, and you can hear Wu Nong's soft words in the sound of the light oars.
