Chapter 106: The Weather Vane of the Whole City

At night, the cold wind howls and the snow falls.

As soon as the door opened on the sixth day of the new year, the snow in the courtyard was below the ankles, and the maids were playing happily in the snow.

Situ Jun stared at Xia Qian mysteriously, and asked with a smile, "Do you know where the best place is in Qinglong City at this time?" ”

"Huo Zun said that when the ice on the Xuyu River freezes to a foot thick, it will become an ice skating rink, which is very lively."

"Let's go, it's cold this winter, and it snows heavily overnight, so it should be almost. It's not that I'm bragging, the scene there is even more lively than the Lantern Festival lantern show! ”

Situ Jun said, stretched out his arm, put it on Xia Qian's shoulder, and hurried out of the general's mansion.

The Xuyu River flows from west to east along the south of the city, the river surface is wide, and the river water depth is bottomless.

In order to prevent flooding, the wall in the south of the city was raised four meters higher than the other three directions, and a five-meter-wide drainage channel was built outside the wall.

Before the plague in the south, the south gate has been closed, and the gate was opened before the plague receded before the Spring Festival.

Because of the complicated terrain, there were as many as 100 personal guards guarding this gate.

Recently, the temperature has dropped dramatically, the Xuyu River has been frozen for too much, and the gate of Nancheng is full of people who have come to skate early in the morning.

In order to maintain order, Kuo Tianchen transferred hundreds of personal soldiers overnight.

The south gate is not only tall and magnificent, but also very elaborate in pattern.

Five door openings, the tall and spacious stone gate in the middle is for the exclusive use of the emperor's relatives, the two side doors next to it are the carriage passages of civil and military officials, and the two low and wide ones on the edge are reserved for ordinary people to travel.

Xia Qian and Situ Jun were in a hurry, and they didn't even eat breakfast when they went out.

The two bought steamed buns from the street, hired two carriages, and couldn't wait to rush to the gate of the southern city.

"Xia Qian, look at the outfits of these people!"

As Situ Jun pointed in the direction, Xia Qian found that the hair buns and clothes of several sons and brothers not far away were somewhat similar to herself.

When she walked to the city gate, she was even more surprised to find that there were more than 30 rich sons dressed similarly to herself.

"Haha! I had a fight in Liuyun Pavilion yesterday, and I thought I was going to be on fire? I didn't expect your outfit to be more eye-catching than me, a real prince! ”

Xia Qian's eyes fell on the rich sons who were dressed similarly to herself, and she pouted with a smile and said, "Are you genuine?" You're a fake prince dressed as a man! ”

Situ Jun was not angry, looked at Xia Qian's outfit, and admired with a smile: "You are dressed up, they can comprehend half of it at most, and they don't know that their delicate eyebrows and eyes and the vulgar temperament oozing out of your bones are something they can't learn, Dong Shi is just a good one!" ”

"It seems that my dress is very popular, and it has become the vane of Qinglong City!"

When the carriage reached the gate of the city, the coachman chose the side door that passed next to the middle opening.

Situ Jun kicked the coachman angrily, and the man said that the pro-army commander at the city gate comforted the recruits, and the middle door hole was blocked more than 20 meters away.

The coachman complained and explained a few more words, saying that the Grand Commander had never greeted the recruits, and that today the two Commanders were at the gate of the city, where there were already many people watching the excitement.

The more Xia Qian listened, the more faintly she felt that something was wrong, and she lifted the curtain and looked out, and the city gate in the middle was blocked.

A closer look revealed that the masters of the carriages were all gone, and only the coachman was left waiting in frustration.

"I'll go down and take a look!" Xia Qian lost a sentence and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

Situ Jun frowned, immediately pulled her back, and said unwillingly: "You are also the young lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, what do you look like when you are crowded into a pile with them?" ”

After throwing a few taels of silver to the coachman, Situ Jun glanced at the city gate, and the coachman squeezed into the crowd to inquire about the situation.

When he squeezed out of the crowd, he was already sweating profusely, but fortunately, the coachmen in front saw that the carriage was hopeless to go out of the city, so they all drove the carriage back to Qinglong City around the road, and the only thing blocking their view in front of them was the crowd of melon-eating people blocking the door to watch the excitement.

"There is a recruit wearing shabby armor who has been taught a lesson by the broad commander, and I heard that this person is Young Master Huo of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, so there are a lot of people watching the excitement. Alas, this Young Master Huo was originally a second-grade general with great military achievements, but it is a pity that he is famous and has a good face, if it weren't for the angry invasion of his personal barracks to save his wife a few days ago, I am afraid that few people still know him. However, it is still hard for everyone to believe that he is standing guard at the gate of the southern city! The coachman wiped his sweat and reported the results to Situ Jun.

Xia Qian looked at the dense crowd in front of him, his eyebrows wrinkled into two vertical lines, and he said angrily: "Kuo Tianchen, when does this bastard want to make trouble?" ”

"It's disgusting!"

Situ Jun sneered, bought the carriage, rolled up the curtains on the carriage, and sat cross-legged in the coachman's position.

"What do you do?" Xia Qian looked at her puzzled.

"Take you to Huo Zun, your hand is steady!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the whip in her hand slammed into the horse's buttocks, and the horse raised its front legs and roared angrily, and quickly rushed towards the crowd.

The people who were busy watching the excitement in front were not at all defenseless and were knocked to the ground by the carriage.

When the people in front of them reacted, they all hugged backwards as if they had hit a ghost.

The more than 20-meter-long imperial relatives were diverted to the driveway, and in the blink of an eye, they made way for an avenue.

The soldiers under the city gate looked at the rushing carriage, their breath froze for a moment, and quickly pushed out a road, but at the moment when the carriage ran under the city gate, Situ Jun was reined, and the horse looked up to the sky and stopped immediately with a long roar.

The panicked onlookers all moved their eyes to the unscrupulous "coachman" in the panic, and Kuo Tianchen looked at Situ Jun in the car, and his face was blue with anger.

The condensed air added a bit of mystery to the prince who was driving and the people sitting in the car, and everyone looked at the two beautiful men in the carriage and were reluctant to take a breath, lest they miss their every movement, or every look on their faces.

Most of the people standing in the front were some princes and grandsons, or young ladies and rich young masters, and their eyes wandered between Situ Jun and Xia Qian for a long time, and finally all fell on Xia Qian.

- How can the effect of wearing such a similar bun and clothing be 108,000 miles?

Kuo Tianchen frowned and said, "Lord Jun, your driving skills are close to people's lives!" ”

"This king is fighting on the battlefield, not in the imperial city, so naturally he can't drive at any level! However, since you have arrived at the territory of the great ruler of you, it is better for you to do your best to be a landlord and send me a coachman. ”

Kuo Tianchen looked around, all the carriages on this road had returned to the city, and several other roads were pedestrians and sedan chairs, and the coachman was really hard to find.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed at the small man beside him and ordered, "You, you don't have to stand here today, go and drive for King Jun!" ”

As soon as the guard ran to the carriage, the prince of Jun whipped him in the face: "It's too frustrating, change it!" ”

The little guard covered his face and fled behind Kuo Tianchen in shame.

Kuo Tianchen's newly recovered face turned blue again, and he squinted at the guard at a high point beside him.

This guard was not much better than the little man just now, and as soon as he walked in front of the carriage, he was kicked to the ground by Situ Jun.

Kuo Tianchen's blue face turned red and black, and his eyes filled with resentment could almost burn the two people in the carriage to ashes.

In the end, this little prince who had been rampant in Qinglong City for many years had to suppress the anger in his body, and asked patiently: "If Lord Jun has a favorite coachman, just point it out!" ”

"Refreshing!"

Situ Jun laughed loudly at the horsewhip in his hand, raised the whip and slowly slashed a perfect arc in the air, and the soldiers in the place where the horsewhip passed were all pale with fright.

The corners of her lips lifted a sneer, and finally pointed at Kuo Tianchen's face.

"Situ Jun, don't take an inch!" Kuo Tianchen was so angry that his eyes were blood-red.

"Is it a shame to be a groom for this king? You can't look down on the commander, and neither can your henchmen. Would you like to have a few more soldiers come over and try it out? ”

Seeing Xia Qian laughing and not saying a word, Kuo Tianchen reacted instantly, looked out of the city gate angrily, and shouted:

"Huo Yi!"
