109 Red City Turmoil
The next day, after freshening up and having breakfast, the group returned to the road.
Xia Muyao was in good spirits after a peaceful sleep the night before, and before the group set off, she took the initiative to run to Huerhe's horse, raised her little face, and asked to ride with him.
Huerhe smiled at the corner of his mouth, bent down and scooped Xia Muyao up from the ground, held her in his arms, and then beat the horse away.
"How many days is the next city gone?" On the way, Xia Muyao asked Huerhe.
"It's almost a day and a half." Huerhe replied in a deep voice.
"What's that city called?" Xia Muyao asked again.
"Red City."
"What a strange name." Xia Muyao read the name of the red city, and then said.
"The Red City is not its original name, but the city is planted with maple trees everywhere, every autumn, the city is full of fiery red colors, many people will come here, just to see the city full of fire, the Red City also came, over time, people slowly forgot its original name, simply changed to the Red City, it is now autumn, although a little late, but we can almost catch up with the beautiful scenery of the city is red." Huerhe explained slowly.
Xia Muyao nodded, and couldn't help but be full of praise for Huerhe in his heart, he knew so much. And I am also full of longing for that red city, what would a city full of red look like?
****
Arrive at the Red City is in the afternoon, before entering the city, outside the Red City is the tall maple trees that can be seen everywhere, one after the other, like a burning fire, the wind blows, the red leaves fall to the ground, paving a red road on the ground.
Beauty is like a dream.
Xia Muyao's eyes widened, stunned by the novel scene in front of her, she had seen the best items in the world, but she had seen few of the thousands of wonderful scenes of nature in this world, and she was instantly melted by the scene in front of her.
After entering the city, I knew that there was a new world in the Red Sea, and the whole city was indeed submerged in the red leaves, and the streets were full of red leaves.
"How can there be such a city?" Looking in surprise all the way, Xia Muyao couldn't help but ask again.
"Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there was a rich man who loved maple trees here, and he paid for the city where he lived to plant maple trees everywhere, just to wait for the autumn every year to see the moment when the leaves gradually turn from green to red, but when he planted these trees, the saplings were still young, and the scenery was limited, and there was no such grand scene as it is now." Huerhe looked ahead and whispered back.
"You've been here?" Hurkh seems to know everything about this place.
"Hmm." Huerhe replied vaguely. In recent years, as long as he has time, he will bring a few concubines to stay here for a few days in autumn to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city.
But this kind of thing, he naturally can't tell Xia Muyao, according to her temperament, even if it is a thousand years of vinegar, she will definitely eat it.
Xia Muyao turned her head and glanced at Huerhe, and didn't ask any more, she was attracted by the scene in front of her, and her heart was excited and novel.
In the last few days when the autumn leaves were red, almost all the inns in the red castle were filled with people who came from neighboring towns to see the autumn leaves.
Huerhe has always been reluctant to use his identity to trouble the local officials, so he searched all the way, and finally found an inn in a relatively remote part of the city, although there was only one main room left, and the rest were Datong shops, but it could also be lived.
There were a lot of people in the inn, Huerhe took Xia Muyao to live in the main room on the second floor, and the rest of the guards and maidservants lived in the chase shop in the backyard on the first floor.
When you enter the room and open the window, you can see the red in your eyes, and when you stand on a high place, you can see a very different scenery.
Xia Muyao lay on the window and refused to move the place.
When someone looked at the scenery from the back street, as soon as they looked up, they saw Xia Muyao's little face on the window, for those swingers, Xia Muyao's beauty was much more beautiful than the maple leaves on the street.
The restrained one, after reading it, he left, Meng Lang's stood under the window and looked up, shouting from time to time, "Little sister, where is you?" ”
Xia Muyao didn't hear it, but still looked at the scenery intently.
Huerhe heard more and more teasing outside the window, so he walked to the window, hugged Yao'er in his arms from behind, and looked down at the sidewalk in the back street.
Huerhe sneered, and then said to Xia Muyao: "Do you want to rest for a while, or do you want to go out for a walk?" ”
"I want to rest for a while, but I can't bear this view," Xia Muyao turned around, smiled at Huerhe, and joked coquettishly: "Otherwise, you can carry me out for a walk." ”
Huerhe was stunned, Xia Muyao was still coquettish to him for the first time, he turned Yao'er's small body over, grabbed her slender waist with his big hand, and looked at her with gentle eyes, "Then let's stay here for a few more days, and then go back when the red leaves are almost gone." ”
Xia Muyao also smiled, looking at Huerhe with a sly look, "Then don't you want to do government affairs?" ”
"It's less than two days away from Yancheng, and it's been eight or nine hours to get there, if something happens in Yancheng, they'll send someone to inform me." Huerhe stretched out his hand and scraped the tip of Yao'er's little nose.
Xia Muyao still looked at Huerhe with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "No need, I am immersed in the beautiful scenery all day long, I am afraid that I will turn a blind eye, it is better to take a glimpse, and I will always remember it in my heart, and I will come back in the next year." ”
Seeing that Yao'er had already talked about next year, Huerhe became more and more happy, Yao'er is willing to settle down by his side, right?
"Next year, bring our children with us." Huerhe laughed.
Xia Muyao glanced at Huerhe, but did not say no.
"So you agreed?" Huerhe asked deliberately.
Xia Muyao blinked, still smiling, strange, Huerhe said such a thing, she was no longer annoyed, but there was a trace of sweetness in her heart. What's wrong with her?
Seeing Yao'er smiling and not saying a word, Huerhe stopped teasing her, and said softly: "You rest for a while, after dinner, I will take you to the market, during the time when the maple leaves are red, the whole city is brightly lit, which is more different from the scene in the daytime." ”
Xia Muyao nodded, and then asked, "What about you?" ”
"I'm keeping watch over you." Huerhe replied softly.
Xia Muyao was relieved at this time, except for being in her own house, she always had no sense of security outside.
****
Xia Muyao snuggled up to Huerhe, sleeping very peacefully, and when it was time for dinner, Huerhe gently woke her up.
After dinner, Huerhe took Xia Muyao to the market together. The lights on the street have been lit, compared to the warmth of the day, the atmosphere at night is beautiful, Xia Muyao walked in it, and she actually had the urge to dance. She looked curiously all the way, and from time to time she ran to the stall to see a novelty.
Huerhe followed her not far behind, her heart was warm, Yao'er looked cold and indifferent in the morning, but in fact, she was also a child in the end.
Walking around, I walked to the most prosperous middle street, there were jugglers, twisting Yangge, beating gongs and drums on the street, Xia Muyao had never seen this kind of lively scene, and couldn't help but run forward curiously, but was separated by layers of people, how could she not see the scene in front of her, so she jumped up in a hurry.
accidentally bumped into the person in front of him, the man turned around, and was still annoyed, but when he saw that it was a little girl like a flower, he smiled obscenely, "Little girl, do you want to hold you and see?" ”
Xia Muyao took a step back and ignored him, but the man became more and more interested, pulled the two friends beside him and said, "Master, I have seen a lot of chicks, but I have never seen such a handsome and seductive person, and today is really a good fortune." ”
The two looked at Xia Muyao, and were also amazed by Xia Muyao, and saw that she was alone, so they guessed which young lady was separated from her family, and at this time, she happened to be taken away and taken to their residence, so she could do whatever she wanted.
The three of them are all children of wealthy families in this red city, and they have long been accustomed to the lively and grand occasion of the annual Red Leaves Meeting, and they didn't have any good intentions when they came out together at night.
"Little girl, my lord will take you to see something more interesting." The man reached out to grab Xia Muyao's hand.
But he felt that his wrist hurt on the ground, and a strong and tall man suddenly appeared behind Xia Muyao, who was imposing and unsightly, not from this city.
This person has always been used to being domineering, and he was suddenly bullied by a foreigner, so he was naturally unwilling, but looking at Huerhe's size and strength, he also knew that he was not Huerhe's opponent, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Huerhe glanced at the man coldly, and then left with Yao'er.
The man looked hatefully, gritted his teeth vigorously, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
*****
was frightened by the man just now, Xia Muyao didn't dare to leave Huerhe's side anymore, she grabbed Huerhe's arm, for fear that the crowd would separate them again.
The lively crowd gradually dispersed in the middle of the night, and Huerhe and Xia Muyao walked around the street and went back.
The crowd was bustling, and Huerhe didn't notice the few people following behind him, so he only returned to the inn with Xia Muyao all the way.
Those people were the people who had just clashed with Huerhe, they quietly followed Huerhe and Xia Muyao, knew where they were staying, and finally inquired about their room from the guys, and then left.
The first thing to do when I went back was to move the rescue soldiers to each other, everyone went home and brought a few of their own family members, three of them were afraid that they were not Huerhe's opponents, and now they gathered more than 20 people, and they were afraid that they would not be able to beat him?
When they arrived at the inn with more than 20 families, the shopkeeper of the inn was startled, but he also knew that the three had always been the sons of the city, and it was useless to keep them, and their small inn naturally couldn't afford to provoke them, so they had to secretly beg the guest officer upstairs to be an hour, but not to conflict with this group of people, otherwise he would destroy the things in the store, and he could only consider himself unlucky.
