Volume 8 Chapter 11 Danfeng Autumn Rain
Chapter 11: Autumn Rain in Danfeng
Four days later, escorted by 10,000 soldiers and horses, the group arrived at Shenzhu, the capital of Yongzhou.
Yongzhou from the old Liang period, is the Liang noble literati inhabited by the place, mostly for the noble fiefs, at that time the Ni family's status in the Liang State is equivalent to the king of the Great Qi Wu these wealthy magnates, so the Ni family's fief occupies the largest area in Yongzhou.
After Emperor Wu of Qi captured the capital of Liang State, in order to win over Ni Yuan, he deliberately assigned the twelve nearby cities to the fiefdom of the Ni family.
Although the annual tax payment has not decreased, Yongzhou is famous for its prospering world due to its location by the sea and constant trade with overseas countries. When Su Mi was in the palace, he often heard the palace people talking about the wealth of Yongzhou. Moreover, Ni Guifei is so luxurious, and the degree of use in Xifu Palace, some utensils and clothes, which are far inferior to even Fengyi Palace, are all self-feuding.
Although the prosperity of Yongzhou has long been thunderous, at this moment, looking out from between the curtains, the prosperity of the street market is still far beyond Su Mi's imagination.
The streets are lined with shops and pedestrians. Among them, there are many people dressed in strange costumes, with all kinds of accents and languages that make people listen to them like falling into the clouds, and their appearance is even more incredible, or blonde hair and blue eyes, or red hair and green eyes, which makes Su Mi's eyes widen in surprise.
She couldn't help but think of the exotic legends she had read in the books before, and the descriptions of exotic places that had made her think about them. Now it is truly unfolding before her eyes.
Who can imagine that the capital of Yongzhou is so rich and prosperous, not inferior to the capital at all, although compared to the capital, there is less of an antique and graceful atmosphere, but there is more of a free-spirited and beautiful demeanor.
"In fact, there are not the most foreigners here in Shenzhu, and when they go to Liaozhou on the eastern coast, it is known as the capital of commerce. The port is full of big ships from all countries, and merchants with accents from all over the world. Exotic specialties are shipped. Come and exchange our silk, tea, porcelain and the like. I heard that once these things were successfully shipped back to their kingdom, the profits were calculated a hundredfold. Ni Tingxuan saw that Su Mi liked the novelty and explained with a smile.
Su Mi couldn't help but look up at him, and when he met Su Mi's gaze, he smiled: "If you have the chance, I'll take you there for a walk." ”
Su Mi lowered her head noncommittally, unable to see what she was thinking.
The carriage traveled all the way to the easternmost part of the city before stopping in front of a house with a golden tile of Zhumen.
Su Mi knew that the Ni family had been a scholarly family since the old Liang period. The ancestor once assisted the founding emperor of the Liang State and made great contributions. It has been based in Yongzhou for more than 100 years, and it is one of the most famous families in the world.
Ni Yuan's mansion in the capital has always been known for its simplicity and simplicity, or it has always been ridiculed and ridiculed by the wealthy nobles of Daqi for its lack of style, simplicity and plainness, and he can't imagine that the mansion in the fiefdom is not so rich. Su Mi carefully looked at the mansion in front of him. In fact, the whole mansion is also magnificent and beautiful in terms of architecture alone, but compared with the various elegant, magnificent, varied and exotic buildings that I have seen along the way after entering Yongzhou. The mansion in front of me is obviously too beautiful and simple.
Especially...... Su Mi's eyes fell on both sides of the street.
What particularly surprised her was that around the mansion, there were many hawker stalls from time to time, if it was in the capital, especially in Wuyi Lane, where the powerful gathered, such an unbridled behavior was enough to make those proud wealthy nobles see it as a great shame. And these civilian businessmen who dare to touch the dark on their lintels will definitely be thrown into prison and taught a hard lesson.
At this time, these vendors surrounded the Ni family's mansion. But one by one, they greeted their business plainly and leisurely, and saw the convoy approaching from a distance, and they did not shy away from it. It adds a lot of liveliness to the solemn town.

Su Mi leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery in the courtyard.
This is a separate courtyard on the east side of Ni Mansion, and on the left side of the half-moon-shaped courtyard is a pool, and the clear water flows endlessly through the dark channel underneath. Intertwined with the rockery of strange rocks, the yard is full of lush flowers and trees. A gentle breeze caresses. Swaying, full of clear fen.
She's only lived here for a little more than a month. The maple leaves in the courtyard have gradually turned into a thick crimson like rouge, and before you know it, the gorgeous autumn is about to pass.
A gust of autumn wind blew, the fallen flowers were as colorful as blood, and countless maple leaves swirled, falling from the branches, fluttering with the wind. Occasionally, a few pieces fell onto the clear water surface, waving the delicate ripples in circles.
Su Mi couldn't help but reach out and take a small leaf in his hand.
The leaves are petite and delicate, and the red is pitiful and lovely.
It's late autumn. Where are Ni Yuan's men now? And what about Mu Qinghan's? What is the situation in the capital? And where is Juyuguan? Are Mr. Ge and Mu Qinghan safe? And him......
After many days of running around and tiring, did he take over those forces as he wished, and how many chips did he have?
Su Mi couldn't help but think about what kind of mood Qi Hao would feel if he couldn't see him after he returned. Has everyone in the mountain village escaped? When they broke through and rushed to kill, it could be regarded as buying a lot of buffer time for the villagers, at least most of them were able to escape. The terrain in the mountains is complicated, and the Liao army will not chase after a few mountain people. If Qi Hao returned to the mountain village, some of those villagers should tell Qi Hao about the situation when they saw him and Ni Tingxuan getting on the horse together.
According to his intelligence and insight, he must be able to guess where he is from the villagers' descriptions. So what is his mood now? Will he regret it? Regret leaving yourself.
Thinking of this question, Su Mi lowered his head and looked sad. A gust of wind passed, and the leaves in her palm couldn't stand the force, and they were blown up by the autumn wind, and they were about to leave her support and float to the sky. Su Mi closed his palms, as if he was catching a butterfly that was about to fly, and retracted it in his palm.
She shook her head slightly, and a sour smile rose at the corner of her lips, Su Mi, Su Mi, what are you?! In the eyes of Prince Yu, maybe it's just a cooperative partner, even if he really has true feelings for you, but how much does this affection weigh? Can it be compared with this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and this grand hegemony?
Just as she was in a trance, a slight coolness touched the tip of Su Mi's nose, she couldn't help but sneeze lightly, raised her head, and found that it was fine silver filaments spilling from the sky.
It's raining.
The autumn rain lingered and hurried, but after a while, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the cold wind sent the misty water vapor into the corridor, and the water droplets dripped sporadically along the eaves, like a broken pearl pendant, more and more urgent, more and more dense, and finally became a continuous stream of water, she sat quietly by the railing, and the memory flowed slowly like this silver stream. The past is flooded and silent in this rainy and dreary weather.
The world is impermanent, and he and the Ni family should have a deep hatred, but now they live in the enemy's home quietly and accept his protection and care.
Now the wheat fields outside the capital have all turned into golden colors. How many of them have fallen into the pockets of the Liao?
Who knows, such a brilliant color is actually more poignant and bright red than the maple leaf in his hand, and the end of this golden autumn harvest indicates that a new battle to sweep the world is about to begin.
Mr. Ge and Qi Hao succeeded in at least one step, and Ni Yuan finally didn't have time to go north before the autumn harvest, adding another variable to the trend of the world, and also making the people around the capital suffer from the looting of the Liao people again. And in the next war, how many people will die in it?
Su Mi's mood was gloomy for a while, and she looked at the continuous autumn rain in front of her in a daze.
When Ni Tingxuan came to the courtyard, it was this scene that caught his eyes.
On the railing by the pool under the corridor, Su Mi leaned on it, twisting a red maple leaf in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking, the falling raindrops formed a translucent bead curtain, covering her face in the shadows, and she couldn't see clearly. Like a flower separated from the fog, hazy and ethereal.
The glorious and beautiful figure in his eyes was so familiar, he couldn't help but recall that under the same corridor, by the same small pool, there was a woman who had been accustomed to relying on it like this for many years, looking at the flowers and trees in front of her, but her eyes were through these objects, and she didn't know where to throw, and there was a faint fog between her eyebrows, which was faintly covered by the flow of smoke.
It's so close, but it makes him feel like the end of the world.
