Chapter 14: Under the city of Leyang
Lin Ling listened to the coachman's endless gossip and removed the useless complaints, and Lin Ling got a very important message.
It turned out that the reason why the Wang family's convoy was still rushing in the middle of the night was precisely because the Pingyang Du, the only road leading to Kyoto, collapsed, which caused the convoy to make a detour to Panlongling and take the gentle slope of Pingyang west of Qinglong Pass to enter Beijing.
The reason why no one chooses the gentle slope section of Binh Duong is because the official road stops at Binh Duong, and the second is because the land in the gentle slope area is not solid, especially in rainy and snowy weather, the road is easy to become muddy.
Therefore, unless it is sunny weather, there will not be even one person in ten people who walks the gentle slope of Pingyang.
"Little brother, dare to ask what time it is?"
With the help of the faint candlelight hanging on the roof of the car on the side, Lin Ling looked at the flames that could be extinguished almost at any time, and asked lightly.
"It should be almost the time of the day, the day difference in the winter night, if it is changed to before, not to mention the time of the day, it is the time of the child, on both sides of the official road to the west, it is also brightly lit."
The coachman is very talkative, often Lin Ling asks the last sentence, and the coachman can answer two or three sentences, which makes Lin Ling feel that the subordinates of the General's Mansion can still be like this, so as the master of the General's Mansion, what kind of mind will he have.
"In that case, then bother the little brother, if the car arrives at the city of Kyoto, call me at that time."
Lin Ling said this, turned around and was about to get into the car, but was stopped by the driver again.
"Childe is in such a hurry, there must be something important to do? Do you need to give a small bow to my young lady? ”
The coachman's words were entirely well-intentioned.
Besides, if Lin Ling is really a child of the clan, this time he is a guest again, and the coachman, as a subordinate of the General's Mansion, is a bit rude to let the guests walk on foot.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the family is entangled in some trivial matters, and I'm anxious to go home to deal with it, and then I have to bother the little brother, and I will accompany your young lady on behalf of you, just say that today's grace, he will come to visit Lin Ling one day."
Knowing that the coachman was a little chattering, and Lin Ling didn't want to say more, he simply arched his hand at the coachman, and without waiting for the coachman to reply, he turned around and got into the car.
"Don't worry, Childe, such a trivial matter will be wrapped up in me."
The coachman tilted his head slightly, looked at the curtains that swayed back and forth with the car, and swore solemnly.
As the cracking sound of crunching wheels crushing the ice and snow continued to be heard, the gentle slope of Pingyang, which was nearly 20 miles long, finally came to an end.
After the Wang family's convoy was all on the official road, the road widened, and the speed of the car was raised.
......
"Xianghe, Xianghe..."
I don't know how long it took, but Lin Ling, who was sleeping and was thinking, suddenly felt a huge pulling force, as if he was about to tear himself in half in a dream.
In a hurry, Lin Ling opened his eyes violently, but just saw a handsome man's face, observing himself closely, which scared Lin Ling.
"Pinzhi, it's you, what are you doing? Scared me. ”
After seeing this person clearly, Lin Ling's heart that had just been hung up immediately put down, just looking at the person, Lin Ling's tone revealed a thick doubt.
This person is none other than Guo Quan.
"Don't sleep, Kyoto is here, ready to get off, didn't you just talk to the coachman?"
Hearing Guo Quan say this, Lin Ling suddenly became even more surprised, and even the tone of inquiry was invisibly raised by a decibel.
"How do you know? Isn't it that you weren't asleep before? But I obviously probed your snort, and my breathing was very even. ”
Hearing Lin Ling say this, Guo Quan couldn't help laughing.
"You're so bored that you would think of sniffing, I'm not dead. And do you think it's so easy to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep? ”
Lin Ling looked at the playful smile on Guo Quan's face, and suddenly felt that his face was hot, obviously, he was innocent and had been tricked again.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now, after a while, the carriages and horses will enter the city, and you and I will go towards the north gate, and rest for the night."
After speaking, Guo Quan pulled Lin Ling's cage from one side and put it in front of him, snorted at Lin Ling, lifted his cage and slipped it out.
"Childe, this is Kyoto, originally I wanted the two sons to sleep a little longer, and after entering the city, it was not too late to wake up the two, but I never thought that you would wake up early."
Seeing Guo Quan come out of the curtain, the coachman immediately shouted loudly, but the crowd around him was bustling, if Guo Quan wasn't close to the coachman, he wouldn't be able to hear clearly.
"With such a long queue, if we want to get through the city, won't we have to line up until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month."
Lin Ling had already listened carefully to the noise outside the carriage, originally Lin Ling thought that the carriage had entered the city, after all, it was the capital of Daxinguo, and the excitement was relative.
But when I lifted the curtain, I found that the majestic Leyang City was still about two miles away from here, and at this moment, all the passers-by in various costumes were around both sides of his car.
Under the strong light of the lighthouses on both sides, Lin Ling could clearly see that the team extending from the west gate was like a long dragon, pushing each other and crossing in front of the Wang family's convoy.
"Don't worry, most of the people who can line up here are those rural scholars and wanderers from other places, because they don't know the market in Kyoto, so they choose to enter through the most spacious west gate."
"But we are the family members of the General's Mansion, so naturally we don't have to queue up here, you just wait quietly, after a while, there will definitely be a sergeant to guide us."
When the coachman said this, his face was full of pride and pride, and it was not once or twice that he had experienced such a thing.
Sure enough, just as the coachman said, after waiting for about half a pillar of incense, there were bursts of shouts from the front of the car.
Because Lin Ling's car was the last carriage of the entire team, Lin Ling was confused about what the people in front of him were shouting, but he saw that the crowd around the carriage was a little loose.
And the speed of loosening is slowly spreading to both sides.
In a short time, a road about four meters wide was opened up on the crowded official road, and the front and back were just enough to pass a horse-drawn carriage.
"How about the two sons? I'll just say it, the family members of the General's Mansion have borrowed it since then, and it's too late for the little captain of the city gate to come to visit, so how can we be blocked here. ”
