Chapter 39: The Prosperous Age (I)
"What's going on?" I asked, puzzled. "Big brother, you said it so generally, I really can't understand it."
"It's really hard to explain...... the man looked a little embarrassed. Actually, I've studied history too, though maybe not as much as you. But I can be sure that we are trapped in a distorted fragment of history, a completely different parallel time and space from the historical record, and in this plane, everyone is united in everything, both to protect each other and to be able to get out of this hellish place one day. ”
...... "Why does he say more and more I feel confused, but I really heard the last sentence, they wanted to escape but couldn't escape, it seems that the entrance and exit of this painting realm is really completely controlled by the person in the painting, I and the Taoist really didn't guess wrong." Didn't anyone escape? ”
"As far as I know, there is not a single person, many years ago we outsiders embarked on a well-orchestrated operation. If it weren't for the help of the fairy girl, we would have died a long time ago, and after that, we outsiders would no longer dare to resist blatantly, everyone met in private, and the escape became an underground operation. They just sent me out to patrol today,"
"That person...... is the person you are talking about is the one who controls this time and space! Where is he? "Governor Zuo quickly captured useful information from the mouth of this Kuomintang general, in fact, I thought the same as Governor Zuo, the 'person' that this person said should be the ruler of this painting, and finding him is the key to our escape.
"None of us have ever seen that person......
"Who is the fairy girl?" I asked.
"I can't tell you. But I'm going to take you to a place right now, and when you get there, things will be clear at a glance. The man pointed us in the direction of the city gates. Follow me. ”
I looked at the gate quite far away from us, and there was a small village and an arched bridge with its back bent in the middle.
In the middle of the gate hangs a huge plaque with the gilded character "Suzaku Gate", which can still be seen in the shape of the glyph although it is far away.
"Isn't this the inner city of Bianjing City in front of this?"
"That's right, the place I'm going to take you to is in this bustling capital." The man slowly walked out of the woods and began to walk north along the path.
"Big brother!" Su'er suddenly started tugging at my clothes with her hands. "Big brother, it turns out that you didn't lie! You really brought me to Bianjing, let's go eat inside. I'm going to drink almond tea this time! ”
I smiled awkwardly, thinking that this mistake had really happened to deal with the promise I had made to Su'er at that time.
"Big brother, there's a teahouse in front of you."
I took a look, this teahouse is really strange, there is a thatched hut underneath, but next to it stands a rammed earth platform, which looks like the kind of lookout of the ancient night vigil.
"Su'er, how do you look at this teahouse, how do you think it's strange, how is it built with an observatory."
"This place used to be a barracks, but then it was converted into a teahouse, so it's okay, and those soldiers have nothing to do anyway." Suer said. “
The barracks have been transformed into a city teahouse, this is really absurd, soldiers are the basis for guarding a city, and now there is no guard in the heart of a country, which shows how far this national defense has fallen.
But think about the emperor of this era to know that this kind of thing can appear is definitely not accidental, when the emperor is the notorious Song Huizong Zhao Ji, this is what kind of emperor everyone must know, the Yuan Dynasty took off the "History of the Song Dynasty" of the "Huizong Ji", I couldn't help but sigh, "Song Huizong can do everything, but can not be the king's ear!" His debaucherous style of life also directly affected the style of a country, and at that time, the cultural life of the Northern Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly prosperous, but the military was in danger, and it was a completely deformed era. If there is a faint king leader, he will definitely be on the list.
In fact, if you have an in-depth study of the "Qingming Riverside Map" friends should know that this "Qingming Riverside Map" itself is Zhang Zeduan's admonition to Song Huizong, to the Song Huizong who is addicted to wine and meat every day to send the most painful cry, "Qingming Riverside Map" after the prosperity of the hidden dangers that will lead to the demise of a prosperous era.
These words shocked the man in the tunic suit. “…… This yellow-haired girl, how can she know everything, I didn't know there was such a thing after so many years here. Is this little girl that person's subordinate? ”
"I grew up here, of course I do." Su'er was very unhappy to hear this, she reached out and made a grimace, and then shouted naughtily. "Humph! Sick"
The red word "Su" on Su'er's thin gold body on Su'er's arm seemed to be a dazzling light under the sunlight, shaking the man so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
"You! The tattoo on your girl's hand is the same as that person's hand! And you admit that you grew up here! You are indeed an accomplice of that great villain! ”
This man is really too cautious, how can I tell him? Do you want to tell him that Su'er is a ghost? Or tell her that Su'er is actually from another painting realm? If you think about it, forget it, it will only add to the trouble.
I smiled at the man. "Big brother, you really misunderstood, this font is now written by many people, and it can be found directly on the computer. It's really hard for me to explain this, and you don't have to think about it. You know we're all trying to get out. ”
The man didn't ask any more, presumably he didn't care about all this, "Well, I don't think a little girl can make any waves." Let her speak less, lest she reveal our whereabouts. He muttered a few words, and then continued our journey into the city.
Walking along this path, I crossed a few tea shops, and soon came to the noisy riverbank, where more than a dozen cargo ships had gathered in the narrow river, and they were connected from end to end. Surrounded the already small space. The sails are like clouds, and the raised sails block almost every ray of sunlight from the outside.
"How can there be so many ships, Su'er. Has it always been like this here? "I was a little frightened by this sight, and I had never seen anything like it on the coast of Qingdao.
Su'er looked at the congested water surface and the busy boatmen on the board, as if she had long been accustomed to it. She waved to them warmly, but the people were in a hurry and were in no mood to talk to us. "Because the boats here are free to pass, as long as you have a boat, you can drive on the Bianhe River, and no one cares about it. Big brother, if you have your own boat, you can drive it here. ”
In ancient times, there was no air route, and the waterway was the most important form of transportation, especially the Bianhe River was actually subordinate to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The Bianhe River is wasted, and Kaifeng is declining. "The lifeline of this Bianjing city is unmanaged, although looking at the gathering of boats and ships, busy transportation, and a prosperous scene, but everyone knows that this has left a huge hidden danger.
