Chapter Fifty-Four: Arriving in Beijing
After January, in late spring, the grass is all over the mountains, the branches are full of green, and the vitality is dotted with purple and red.
As the team progressed, a gray color gradually appeared on the horizon in the distance. Seeing this, everyone showed a relaxed smile on their faces, because the capital was almost here.
Liuyun rode on horseback, recalling the experience along the way is a little tangled, a sail wind tree is indeed comforting, but everyone's attitude is a little weird.
First of all, Shangguan Fangfei, this girl, frequently targets herself, she wants to go east, she is biased to the west, and she fights a few times in three days, isn't the elegance when she first meets pretended? Is this her nature?
Secondly, Uncle Feng's attitude towards himself seems to be a little serious, in addition to occasionally probing his own details, he often pays attention to his every move, especially when he is with Shangguan Fangfei, the eyes like thorns in his back are simply uneasy.
In the end, there are strange eyes from everyone and brainless encouragement, such as "I support you" or "tolerate the willfulness of the young master" and so on. Lu Zhong also often nagged some love stories in his ear. What the hell is this?
"Hey, it's unbearable to look back, the east wind is still back, and the wildflowers are blooming in late spring. Liuyun chanted, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.
"Flutter", a sneer came from his side, he didn't have to guess who it was, and he was extremely sure that there was something to come.
"I thought you had well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but you never thought that there was a little ink in your stomach. However, do you really understand the artistic conception of this song "Selling Flowers, Nostalgia"?" Shangguan Fangfei, who was driving the horse, hugged Xiaoli and sarcastically mocked it.
Liuyun glanced at her, raised his eyebrows, and said confidently: "Underestimate me, you must know that I am a man who has gone to a private school, this degree is not difficult for me at all, isn't it just a metaphor for love." ”
"Hehe", Shangguan Fangfei chuckled disdainfully, she stroked Xiaoli's fur while continuing to sneer in her mouth, "A vassal's elegant half-hanger will only take things out of context." This song is clearly nostalgic for the past and sighs for the suffering of the people. Didn't you spend all day in your sleep studying at a private school?"
"Eh", Liuyun, who was choked by the facts, was stunned at first, and then immediately reacted, and defended stiffly, "I call this innovation, innovation! ”
"One bottle doesn't ring, half a bottle is just shaking. Shangguan Fangfei's mocking and disdainful look was even worse.
"Hmph, my literary literacy, like you, who wears men's clothes all day long, has a plain chest, and doesn't have a single star of gentle temperament from head to toe. The word-poor Liuyun had nothing to refute, but launched a personal attack.
"What are you talking about!" Shangguan Fangfei heard this, like a cat stepping on its tail, and instantly exploded. With fire-breathing eyes, she put a small glass in her right hand and put it in her arms, and her left hand quickly reached into Liuyun's waist.
Liuyun clamped down on his crotch, and the horse accelerated forward, avoiding it. He still remembered how painful it hurt to twist his waist with that little hand on several occasions. Hey, it's hard to recall the past, it's all tears.
"Don't run!" the angry Shangguan Fangfei rode his horse to follow. Without a few hard twists on that hateful fellow, her anger will not subside.
Xiaoli, who was nested in her arms, said calmly, why should humans hurt each other.
Around, a group of people in the Feiyan Dart Bureau all had a strange expression, this kind of thing happened repeatedly, and it was about to become a daily landscape.
Only Uncle Feng's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and then stretched out again. After this period of contact, he basically knew Liuyun's personality, although he hid some secrets, but his character was pure, so the matter of men and women should be natural. However, the last step cannot be crossed in any way. At the thought of this, his eyes sparkled.
The clouds in front of him suddenly became a spirit, and there was an illusion of being targeted. And in his stunned state, a small, seemingly weak hand was already on his waist.
"Hmph, I got it. ”
"Woman, I think there's room for negotiation. ”
"It's useless to talk too much, let it be death!"
"Ahh
In this way, in the quarrel between the two, the group came to the city gate.
"Click", lightly jumped off the horse, Liuyun stopped and looked, his clear eyes were full of shock. The towering city tower in front of you is as majestic as a mountain, and the thick city wall that extends left and right stretches for several miles, which is solid like gold, and the mottled gray and black color on its surface not only does not damage the magnificent momentum, but adds a historical charm.
This is the capital of the Xuanwu Dynasty - Xiyong.
Beside Liuyun, Shangguan Fangfei, who also got off the horse, saw his appearance and smiled, and the figure in his eyes seemed to be a little more real.
She has always felt that in addition to the natural intimacy of Liuyun, there is also an ethereal meaning that seems to disappear one day. She hated the feeling, and the thought of never seeing someone again made her heart tighten.
Although she doesn't know much about this emotion, she doesn't want her imaginary situation to become a reality, so she often fights with Liuyun, in this way to get closer to each other's reality and hide her inner shyness.
Shaking her head slightly, Shangguan Fangfei gathered away her chaotic thoughts and introduced Liuyun who had just arrived: "Xiyong City, twenty-five miles long from north to south, twenty-seven miles wide from east to west, with a population of more than one million, houses dotted all over the place, and streets running through and vertical, from outside to inside, it is divided into three parts: the outer city, the inner city, and the palace. This is the Ande Gate, one of the twelve gates of the outer city. The Feiyan Dart Bureau is located on Qingyang Street in the southern part of the outer city near the inner city. ”
Seeing Liuyun's gaze move to herself, Shangguan Fangfei immediately changed her words: "I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed, after all, I brought it, I am always stupid, I am ashamed of you." ”
In the face of this clumsy kindness, Liuyun smiled silently. Getting along along the way, Shangguan Fangfei's awkward personality is also somewhat familiar to him.
"People are very good, if they were gentle, it would be perfect. He touched his slightly aching waist and couldn't help but think so.
And Shangguan Fangfei was stared at by Liuyun like this, her cheeks couldn't help but be a little hot, she turned her head unnaturally, and hurriedly said, "Look... What to look at, it is extremely rude to stare at a young lady like this. ”
Although he wanted to complain about "you are a woman dressed as a man at the moment" or "what kind of lady are you", Liuyun held back and silently turned his gaze. The lessons of the past are vivid, and he will not repeat the mistakes of the past so quickly.
Shangguan Fangfei saw Liuyun looking at the city gate again, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief and was slightly lost, and her complicated state of mind even she couldn't figure it out.
On this occasion, two sounds of "cough cough" came from behind.
The two looked back and found that everyone was waiting for them, and the embarrassed two hurriedly led their horses forward.
Entering the city, it is a completely different scenery from the outside. As far as the eye can see, the bluestone paving of the road is tightly seamless, the wide street is full of traffic and people's voices, on both sides, the Zhu Lou Cui Pavilion is lined up one after another, and the weeping willows of Yang Huai are shady.
The affluent scene of the ten-mile long street opened the eyes of Liuyun, a "countryman", and he glanced around in a novel way. The largest city he had ever visited was Yuechang, and he was still amazed by its prosperity at that time, but compared to the capital, it was suddenly dwarfed, and it could even be said to be a world of difference.
On the side, Xiaoli also got out of Shangguan Fangfei's clothes, quickly jumped onto her shoulders, and her small body habitually shrank around her neck. Joining in the fun is secondary, mainly because Shangguan Xiaoniu's chest is panicked and uncomfortable. Fortunately, Shangguan Fangfei didn't know what the little guy was thinking, otherwise he would definitely burst into tears.
And what about Shangguan Fangfei? At this moment, she rubbed Xiaoli's fluffy ears with one hand and pulled the horse rope with the other, surprisingly without bantering Liuyun. She hadn't been home for nearly four months, and she was a little homesick, but she still needed to go back to the Flying Swallow Dart Game before that.
Everyone walked slowly in the endless flow of people, turned left and right, and after walking a short distance, a large mansion appeared in their eyes.
The door is two vivid stone lions of the town house, under the green tile eaves, the vermilion doorpost hangs with exquisite wooden couplets, the left book "dart travels all over the world and is in turmoil", the right is engraved "swallow returns to the nest to report safety", the plaque above the iron painting silver hook is written with "Feiyan Dart Bureau" four big characters.
Before everyone set foot in front of the door, a few people came up to greet them, they were wearing the same light blue power suits of the dart game, but the outer leather armor was not put on.
Among them, the man at the head is about his early twenties, slightly thin, with a mediocre appearance but a bookish atmosphere, like a literati more than a martial artist. This person's name is Zou Kang, although his martial arts are not outstanding, he is shrewd and capable, so he is stationed in the dart bureau to take care of those daily chores.
As soon as Zou Kang saw Shangguan Fangfei, the heat in his eyes flashed, and then he hid it deeply, and smiled at everyone: "Young master, everyone, you have worked hard all the way. ”
"Yes, we're back. Shangguan Fangfei bowed her head slightly and smiled lightly.
The innocent smile that bloomed made Zou Kang a little dazed. As if to hide his momentary gaffe, he hurriedly faced Liuyun and welcomed: "This is the Liuyun Shaoxia mentioned in the letter, he is really handsome and handsome, and he is a genius." Your room has been prepared according to the instructions of the young master and is ready to move in. ”
Liuyun, who was looking around, was stunned, he originally just came here to visit the door to understand the situation in the capital, and then find an inn to live temporarily, but he didn't expect that people even prepared a place for themselves.
Blinking, he came back to his senses and said to Zou Kang: "Thank you." Then, the ridiculous gaze moved to Shangguan Fangfei next to him. He vaguely remembered that when he talked about having nowhere to live in the capital, this Nizi seemed to be gloating, but he didn't expect to have a sweet mouth.
Shangguan Fangfei was looked uncomfortable, and hurriedly dropped a sentence: "Don't get me wrong, I just look at you pitiful, anyway, you can't help it, and you can't help pulling it down." With that, he handed over the horse rope in his hand to one of them, and walked quickly towards the gate himself.
Liuyun's eyes rolled, and then he casually stuffed the horse rope in the same way, chased after him, and shouted as he ran: "This is cheap for nothing, I didn't say I didn't want it." "For him, it's the same wherever he lives, and besides, it might be better if he has acquaintances to take care of this flying swallow dart game.
Shangguan Fangfei, who was walking in front, heard Liuyun's words, the corners of her mouth curled, her face showed joy, and her moving legs couldn't help but slow down...
Behind the two, Uncle Feng glanced at the two horse ropes in his hand a little speechlessly, and then began to command the rest of the people with Zou Kang, who was envious in his heart.
