After a cold spring, all kinds of spring in Shengjing poured out.

There is a shop in Anyuan Town on the outskirts of Beijing, a house in the backyard, two Xinyi trees at the door, and the bowl-sized purple flowers are blooming lively.

All kinds of embroidery patterns are displayed on the door panel of the shop, the disguise of the "auspicious shop" in front of the door is half-old, a man in a dark coat in the shop is open, the people who stop are bustling, and the business is very good.

Hua Er drove the mule cart out of the backyard, and a half-hundred woman sat on the mule cart, which was so clattering that the wheels creaked.

Seeing this, the man in Xuanyi immediately stopped what he was doing and beckoned: "Second girl, mother-in-law, this is leaving?" ”

Hua Er nodded and said with a smile: "Ah Wei, when my mother-in-law and I entered the palace, the shop was pleased." And my brother, I'm also bothering you. ”

The old woman on the mule cart looked kindly and smiled: "Ah Wei, it's hard work. The tricks of the old body must keep that one happy, and when he won a big reward back, let's change to a new pretense! ”

Everyone also hugged up and greeted them cordially: "Granny Hua, your family is lucky this time!" can let the tricks that you look at, and you will be prosperous at that time, but don't forget the folks! ”

"Thank you Jiyan! Thanks a lot! But don't say it too early, it's just that the old man heard that the old body was well drawn, so he called it. Whether it can enter his eyes or not is still undecided! Although Granny Hua waved her hand, she smiled so much that her white hair trembled together.

Although the Hua family, who runs the shop, has not long moved here, they are amiable and have excellent craftsmanship, and they have always been respected by the neighbors.

"The second sister's family is famous for her tricks, and she will definitely succeed."

At this time, the crowd automatically split a way, and a man in brocade came like a moon and walked in front of Hua Er.

He was in his early twenties, with black hair and a jade crown, and a gold-threaded embroidered unicorn and vermilion robe, which added a bit of beauty to his handsome face with red lips and white teeth.

"Little Marquis." The crowd immediately fell silent and bowed down.

Hua Er said quietly: "What are you doing?" My mother-in-law and I are about to set off. ”

"I'm here to see you off. Otherwise, what if you go to heaven and come back and don't recognize me. The man in the red shirt rubbed open a folding fan, and fanned it in a thousand gestures.

Hua Er turned his face away and said lightly: "Shen Yu, Hou Shizi of Pingchang." Don't worry, the slave forgot what his surname was, and he didn't dare to forget you. ”

Shen Yu smiled, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and folding a fan: "Okay!" Come! The gongs and drums sounded! I wish my second sister a smooth trip and a lot of money! ”

Suddenly, Shen Yu didn't know when to bring the musicians, the sheng flute played in unison, and the drum music shook the sky.

Hua Er took out the ear nest, sang to Ah Wei and the villagers, and then pulled the mule cart and drove Granny Hua away.

Shengjing, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The jade chariot crossed the main house, and the golden whip flocked to the Hou family. The dragon title covers the sunrise, and the phoenix spits tassels with the sunset. Hundred-foot gossamer scrambles around the tree, and a group of delicate birds cry together.

Hua Er and they live in the suburbs of Beijing, and they have to go to the city first, and there is a special person to pick them up after entering the city.

However, before he got out of the suburbs of Beijing, Hua Er sensed that something was wrong.

The official road is eerily silent. The wind is loud, and the sword light is hidden.

Flower two stopped. The fingertips that grasped the reins of the mule cart were strained and turned white.

"Stop, don't scare the guests." A masked man and a man dressed as a servant stepped out of the bushes beside the road and saluted, "First meeting, polite." ”

Hua Er took a step back vigilantly, smiling very innocently: "This? The folk girl and the mother-in-law are just ordinary people who do tricks, and they have a good life on weekdays, but they don't know how to provoke the nobles? ”

The masked man's eyes rolled on Hua Er's face, and he said quietly: "Clear-eyed people don't say dark words." I'll just say a word, dare to ask the girl's name. ”

"Flower two." Hua Er raised his eyes and smiled, innocent.

The masked man narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head sideways to the servant, and said, "What, does this face have an impression?" ”

"The old slave is really ...... Young people are like bamboo shoots on the ground, their bones are undecided, they are the same every day, and they grow very fast. Although the old slave has seen it before...... But it's been three years, and it's hard to recognize......" The servant's voice was high-pitched, and it turned out to be a palace attendant.

"It's useless!"

The masked man's eyes rose with anger, and he suddenly pulled out his sword, and the silver light flashed, and when he looked at it again, the head of the chamberlain rolled to the ground.

"Still pretending to be confused? I've checked, and the girl's register was made three years ago. I moved here three years ago. Don't you plan to see the coffin and tell the truth? ”

The man stared at Hua Er gloomily, and blood flowed from the tip of the sword.

The fingertips in Hua Er's clothes clenched secretly, but the smile was still the same as before: "The adults are becoming more and more confused when they speak." The mother is raised by her father, and the folk girl is called Hua Er. Also, shouldn't adults tell the truth? You buried so many soldiers in secret, salute first and then soldiers, or do you salute first and then salute? ”

The man laughed angrily: "Since it can't be used by my lord, I can only kill it." It's a pity. ”

The last word fell. The soldiers who were lying in ambush suddenly came out.

Killings are all over the place. The sword is unsheathed, the spring breeze kills, and the cold light sees blood and seals the throat.

"Mother-in-law, be careful!" Hua Er gritted his teeth fiercely, and his first reaction was to confirm the safety of his mother-in-law, while dodging the sword, desperately pulling the mule cart towards the city gate.

As long as you get close to the city gates, people will come and go, and you will find this dark slaughter. However, the disparity in strength was too great, and before he could take two steps, the sword light slashed to the back of the head.

"Sister took her mother-in-law to the city gate! Leave it to me! The thieves are rampant! ”

At the last moment, with a loud shout, a figure rose from the debris on the mule cart, and at the same time the sword was unsheathed and met it.

The sound of gold and iron colliding, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and blood splashed everywhere the knife passed, but when I saw a touch of silver-white handsome shadow fighting with dozens of soldiers, his body was as light as a swallow, and the sword circle was scattered, and he did not fall into the wind at all.

But half a cup of tea, the corpse on the official road Chen all the way, blood soaked the bushes.

There was only one boy in white left in the field. The black hair hunted and flew, and the blood stained his face all over the flowers, except for a sword in his hand, which was cold and dazzling.

He looked around and found that the masked man was missing, and he couldn't look left and right, and his face was indignant.

But he thought that he had stabbed him with a sword, and the sword wound should not be shallow, and he was worried about Hua Er, so he didn't delay much and chased the mule cart away.

Hua Er heard the movement behind the mule cart, which was the familiar footsteps of walking to the sky, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but as if he thought of something, he immediately straightened his face.

"Good boy! When did you hide on the mule cart? ”

The young man in white followed the mule cart, first confirmed that both of them were okay, and then saw that Hua Er was scolding, and Dahua's face turned from worry to smile: "Sister, I protected you and your mother-in-law, and you came to scold me?" ”

Hua Er punched him, and seeing that the young man was not seriously injured, he didn't hold back his face, held back his laughter, and took a silk handkerchief to wipe his face full of blood.

"I'm scared to death, it's okay, it's okay...... It's not that you don't know that you're going to meet Him on this trip. I'm worried about you...... Hey, I won't let you go with you, let you and Ah Wei stay in the shop. You're good, the thief is here. ”

The silk handkerchief gently wiped away the blood. The young man looked at the complaining woman and smiled happily: "Okay, only this once." Next time, I will definitely listen to my sister. Sister, don't drive me back, okay? ”

"Forget it, you said it nicely, how can you listen to it 'next time'? If I don't let you go with me, I'm afraid you'll go back and burn down my shop. ”

Hua Er glared at him angrily, but he couldn't hide the kindness of the eyebrows in the corners of his eyes.

Granny Hua also helped beside her: "Forget it, the third brother has grown up." It's impossible to keep him in the shop all day long. He is good and takes care of many people along the way. ”

Hua Er sighed, the young man in front of her was half a head taller than her, and his body was like a mountain, which made people feel at ease for no reason.

"That's it. Go with it. But caution is the best. Hua Er finally nodded and pointed to his face.

The young man's eyes lit up, and he took out a porcelain bottle knowingly, poured a few pills into his palm, swallowed it, and in less than a moment, a red rash grew on his white face.

Hua Er repeatedly confirmed that this face had been judged as two people, and then reassured: "Let's go." Don't make trouble when you enter the city! Don't find anyone to compete! ”

"Spend three orders!" Before Hua Er's words fell, the young man ran towards the city gate like a gust of wind.

The mule cart creaked, two tracks were drawn on the official road, the spring breeze was ten miles, and the swallows swept overhead from time to time.

After a group of three people rushed for a long time, they arrived at the city gate, checked the registration book, and Jin Wuwei waved his hand respectfully: "Second Miss Hua, the people over there have been waiting for a long time." Please follow the end of the world. ”

Jin Wuwei led the group to the bottom of the corner tower, and a group of people dressed in palace clothes looked at them.

"The second daughter of the people, with her mother-in-law, my brother, has seen a nobleman." Hua Er lowered his eyes and bowed down to his skirt.

The man at the head was wearing a cyan official robe, and he didn't call Hua Er for a while, but just glanced at it quietly.

The woman is not very old, estimated to be eighteen, her shoulders are shaved, her waist is like a plain, and her eyebrows and eyes are not beautiful, but she has a different charm from her bones.

Just one glance, it is too sparse, and it can't compare to Sheng Jingyin's purple and red, but at another glance, I can't wait to stop at her.

Wearing a coarse cloth lotus root pink shirt on his body, and a jasper hairpin in the cloud beard and crow sideburns, the whole body is clear and simple, neat and neat, and it makes people feel good for no reason.

As for the two people who accompanied him, a young man in white, except for the rash on his face, he didn't dare to compliment, his eyes were bright, he was a practitioner, and an old woman had a kind face, he was a good hand at drawing tricks, and he was a flower mother-in-law.

The man nodded: "No need to be polite. Under the main book, Li Chen. I am hereby ordered to receive you into the palace. ”

"There's Lord Laury." Flower two and bow again.

So a group of three people, under the leadership of Li Chen, passed through Shengjing, and the prosperous scenery they saw along the way was dizzying.

Li Chen also looked proud and said: "Even if you live in the suburbs of Beijing, you can't understand the peaceful atmosphere of the capital. Only by living in the center of the country can we be grateful for the rule of today's sages and how virtuous they are. ”

Talking and laughing, to Yanxi Gate. The gate of the red copper palace is as high as the sky, and the golden guards guarding the city are majestic.

Everyone took a deep breath and immediately fell silent, Li Chen showed the token, and the moment the palace door opened, the air suddenly became solemn.

The glazed red tiles of the three palaces and six courtyards show the dignity and majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Everyone couldn't help but show nervousness, and followed behind Li Chen step by step, but whenever their eyes moved, they were scolded by the palace attendants.

After a while, in front of a certain palace complex, Li Chen stopped, as if to report something.

Hua Ergui looked up and saw the gilt plaque on the top of his head, with two big seals on it, and the pen was like a dragon and a tiger.

East Palace.
