Chapter 759: How Good It Is to Be a Man
Before dark, the coachman couldn't help but whip the horse again, then faster, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the imperial city, this is the first time he has come to the capital, the people in their village, their ancestors have stayed in the village for generations, no one has ever been out of the village a few miles away, the most is to go to the town to sell something, but he actually arrived in the capital.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven.
This is the most prosperous place in the entire Great Zhou, and if you can see the capital in this life, you will really die without regrets.
"Old man," he whipped his horse lightly, "you have to run faster, I know that this journey is hard for you, but we are about to arrive in the capital, and when we get to the capital, you will be able to eat good forage, so it will be another hard day." ”
I don't know if the horse understood, and spread its hooves and ran, and it also splashed clusters of dust, and in the dust, it was the carriage that was already gone.
The carriage drove for about two hours, and they arrived at the boundary of the capital in a sleepy and sleepy manner.
The carriage was about to enter the city, but it was stopped.
"Who's in the carriage?"
It is already the time of curfew in the capital, so at this time, people or carriages entering and leaving the capital must be routinely checked.
The coachman had never seen such a formation, and he was frozen there all of a sudden, his body trembled, his legs were weak, and he couldn't even speak.
Just when those gatekeepers were about to come over to uncover the carriage, something was thrown out, and it was almost smashed in the face of the gatekeepers, and the militiamen just wanted to get angry, and they also wanted to see which daring thing this was, and they dared to do it to them, this really didn't want to live, didn't it?
As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, no matter how they are, they are all soldiers in the capital, and they are also eating royal food. If you offend them, it is a trivial matter whether you can enter the city or not, and if you don't do it well, you have to be careful of the disaster of prison, or it is inconvenient to be careful of your own little life.
But when the gatekeeper saw the words engraved on the token, he suddenly felt how the token was so hot, and he hurriedly stepped forward with both hands, and carefully placed the token on the carriage.
"Let's go," he stretched out his hand, and as soon as the internal strength of his fingers came out, he inhaled Ling Pai into his palm.
The gatekeeper hurriedly let him go, and he also lowered his head, as if there were demons and monsters from above, very fierce.
The coachman was also frightened and wiped the cold sweat on his head, obediently, what kind of person is this, even these officials are respectful to him, this is not a big man in Beijing, it is such a token, they go all the way, no one dares to block the road, no matter how late it is, they can enter the city, no matter how early it is, they can go out of the city, it is simply invincible.
Although he had this doubt in his heart, he didn't think much about it, after all, at the foot of this son of heaven, the prosperity here is not comparable to ordinary places.
And the coachman is like Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, everything is curious, everything is novel, and he must see more, listen more and remember more, and when he returns to the village, he can tell others what people, things, and good things are in this capital, and these are afraid that he can say it for a lifetime.
At this time, even if the capital is close to the curfew, there are still many shops on both sides, the moat is also brightly lit, and even all kinds of drum music can be heard.
The coachman didn't know what these boats were for, but he felt that these big boats were really beautiful, and even one street was brightly lit, and the people inside were constantly coming and going.
There seems to be a fragrant wind coming.
The driver really wanted to see what was being sold there, and how could there be such beautiful lights?
Childe, what does that place do, why are there so many lights, what are they selling?
The coachman couldn't help asking, and now it seemed that there was only one person in the carriage who could ask.
He opened his eyes, but he didn't need to open the curtain of the carriage to know what the coachman was referring to.
The most famous flower street in Beijing, how, do you want to go?
Branding Heng asked the coachman.
"Hey......
The coachman touched his head embarrassedly, "Childe said and laughed, I don't have any money, so I can't go." ”
In fact, his heart is still a little nervous, but think about it again, what the storyteller said, where he went, not to mention that he was entangled, even his life may be in it.
Mr. Storyteller also said that this peony flower dies, and it is also romantic to be a ghost.
But he doesn't want to be a ghost yet, he still wants to be a man, and when he goes back, he can get twenty taels of silver, which can be enough for his family to build a house, and then marry him a capable daughter-in-law, and his life will be much better in the future.
Why does he want to be a ghost, let the old man don't want to be a ghost, he wants to be a ghost for others?
I really don't know, what these books say is true or false, how can there be such a stupid person, who has to be a ghost?
"Drive!" He whipped his horse again, and walked in the direction pointed by the brand, for the brightly lit flower street and willow lane, now he saw that his scalp was numb, how could he pass?
It's not a good place in Beijing, it's either a hell on earth that I don't know where it came from, and the human form goes in and the ghost form goes out.
Thinking about it, he felt his scalp tingle, not to mention anything else.
The carriage walked from time to time above the official road, and I don't know how long it had been, but the coachman had already driven the carriage to the door of a large house.
This mansion is different from other places, there are no families around, and the area of the whole mansion in the capital is so huge, and there are four very majestic guards standing at the door.
Regardless of the others, these guards are all tall, with majestic faces, their temples are also bulging high, and even the back of the hand holding the spear is covered with green tendons, which shows that these people are definitely not empty shelves, but real masters.
"What to do, leave immediately!"
When the guards saw the carriage stop, they drank in a deep voice, which also frightened the coachman so much that he almost didn't fall off the carriage.
Just when the coachman was still a little unsure of what to do, the curtain of the carriage opened, a hand as smooth as jade stretched out, and then one person stepped out of the carriage.
That Zhilan jade tree, so clean and dust-free.
The guards at the door were all stunned, and there was no reaction for a long time?
Branding Heng thought walked out, and then walked forward, and the coachman couldn't help but shake a cold sweat for him, my uncle, you are so easy to kill.
