Chapter 59: The King of Flowers
Out of the fang stepping on the bridge, the surging Luoshui comes into view, the arch bridge across the three rivers and two continents stands majestically, there are guards on both sides of the bridge, the flag flutters, and the silent majesty comes to the face.
Galloping on the copper camel street, the ladies and wanderers fold the willows, the green shirts are smiling, and the safflowers and green leaves are bees and butterflies.
The shouting and selling were full of ears, and the vendors chanted and sang.
Xiahou Chun praised: "Shenluo competes for flowers, although peonies are precious, the rest are not bad. ”
At this moment, he can be described as 'hugging left and right', which has attracted the frequent sideways attention of many handsome people in the Eastern Capital.
Fang Xirou, the red-robed beauty on the left, has a golden horse knife, lightly clamping the horse's belly, like a food protector close to Xiahou Chun.
On the right, Murong Baiyi Shengxue seemed to be overwhelmed by blood red, but in fact, it was like a clear stream, which was eye-catching.
She chuckled, who had lived in the Eastern Capital for a long time, and said: "Your Highness is at the right time, the flower season in Los Angeles is approaching, a hundred flowers are vibrant, and I love Yao Huang and Wei Zi alone." ”
She praised: "Yao Huang, a thousand leaves and yellow flowers, comes from the Yao family in the east of the city. This flower is shaped like a fine carving, the quality is like wrought silk, and it is as moist as nephrite; Wei Zi is not worthy of Yao Huang. ”
Weng Boying, who followed behind him with his face in his heart, beat Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and after complimenting the words 'Huang Zi is exclusive to nobles, it is a perfect match for His Highness', then he shook his head and whispered:
"Yao Wei Yu Qihui, the superb King of Ten Thousand Flowers. The slanted hairpin beauty is drunk, and the city is crazy. ”
Fang Xirou's eyes swept away, swept over the flower stalls on the street, and said indifferently:
"Although Yao Huang and Wei Zi are good, they are one in a thousand, and Zhao Fan and Ou Bi are also not inferior. If you want to be good to the people and spread the goodness, you can't focus on one thing. ”
For this princess of the remnants of Southern Chu, Liu Wenzhen naturally has no lack of bad feelings, the previous intention to imprison His Royal Highness made his heart almost jump out, and when he heard Fang Xirou's voice, he naturally did not hesitate to help.
He said thoughtfully: "What the Holy Maiden said is very true, although Yao Wei is good, it is difficult to show His Highness's mind, only by accommodating the four seas and nine continents, can he show the posture of the master!" ”
A group of six people seemed to be divided into two factions, except for Chen Xuanli and others who stayed in the barracks and ate and lived with the Qiancai battalion, Zhuge Dan and Su Guitou temporarily returned to the palace.
The overlay man and Tao Fu watched coldly, disdainful of mixing, Liu Wenzhen supported Fang Xirou, Weng Boying turned his elbow outward, salivating to please Murong.
Xiahou Chun smiled and waved his hand, stopped this-for-tat confrontation without gunsmoke, and said in a rambling voice:
"Peony is both expensive, the palace has long heard of it, but the reputation of the Kao is not only these two, I have heard that there is a partial branch hidden in the Zhao Garden, with a single petal, double petal and semi-double petal three medium flower type, and the direction is rich, no less than Wei Zi Yao Huang.
In addition, Luoyang peony, peony out of Danyan, such as Yanzhou red, Qianxi crimson, crane feather red, Jiurui pearl Wei flower, dizzy sandalwood heart red and a twist of jade plate white and other nearly 20 kinds of peony, all called first-class, can be said to be up and down, each has its own merits. ”
Fang Xirou pursed her lips and said, "What else will you do besides the mud?" ”
The meaning of the prince's words was self-evident, and Murong smiled silently and no longer refutated.
The fragrance of flowers invades the nose, and the smile asks the guest for what he wants. Xiahou Chun took the opportunity to buy two bunches of light red, each as a gift to the beauty, the residual fragrance remained, he sniffed lightly, and said leisurely:
"Wei Hong, Yao Huangfei. Cinnabar jade version of the human taste. Everyone in the world sighs at the flowers, but I am drunk and dive into the creek. ”
Weng Boying didn't have the eyesight to see it, and praised insincerely: "His Royal Highness borrows flowers to metaphor himself, lyrical expression, like an abyss submergible, just wait for the time to come, you can soar into the sky, it is really a quatrain for the ages!" ”
Tao Fu sneered, and Liu Wenzhen said with a smile: "Why, General Tao seems to want to speak and stop, so he also wants to confide in him?" ”
"Not interested." Tao Fu shook off lightly.
After a group of people walked around to see the flowers, smelled the fragrance and knew things, and tasted a variety of peony flower kings, they politely rejected the enthusiastic vendors, and went out of the workshop under the leadership of Tao Fu, and stepped into the prestigious Copper Camel Street.
Tongcamel Street, in the south of Luoyang Palace, outside the Golden Horse Gate, is also prosperous. Outside the Golden Horse Gate, there are sages, and teenagers are gathered on Tongcamel Street.
Accompanied by a beautiful woman, the whistle gradually rose, Tao Fu swept his cold eyes, stopped abruptly in an instant, and retreated.
At present, the initial structure of the Zhaoyi Army was only 2,005, and after being transferred to the Eastern Capital, it increased to 5,000 people, and it was also divided into two halves and four divisions, half of which defended the Eastern Capital and half were hidden in the suburbs.
The garrison battalion of the eastern capital city is divided into two divisions of water division and infantry cavalry, and the naval division warship cruises on the Luo River, patrolling ten miles of Luoshui, and the river surface is supplemented by wooden stakes and iron locks to block the enemy; Foot soldiers were stationed within the walls, pillboxes, and barracks.
The cavalry was originally camped outside the city, since Qin Rui transferred the Zhaoyi army to the eastern capital, they will camp ten miles outside the west gate of Luocheng, one to defend the palace city, and the other to connect the water and land, complementing each other.
Facing the warm spring breeze, accompanied by the song and laughter of the warbler, under the exclamation of the beautiful girls in the eastern capital, Xiahou Chun led the two daughters to the north shore.
Whip the horse, make a loud noise, stroke the horse lightly, and smooth the mane.
Tao Fu on his side shouted: "On the order of the general, please invite the prince to enter the camp to watch the army parade!" ”
After the guards heard this, the tension quietly disappeared, and the cold eyes gradually eased, and they all brushed to get out of the way.
Murong walked side by side with the masked man, and smiled lightly at Fang Xirou beside him: "Sister Fang, please."
It was suspected that the beacon smoke was rekindled, and Weng Boying immediately slipped away.
Fang Xirou glanced at the other party, muttering in her heart that there was indeed a girl with a three-percent appearance, she had a straight face, and said in a light tone:
"How dare you let Her Royal Highness the princess fall behind, you should please first."
How can the remnants of the dead country be called princesses, the soft and thorny words made the covered man frown, and the killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Murong didn't care, and smiled softly unconsciously: "Since my sister is so gracious, then my sister is not welcome." ”
"You!" Fang Xirou was furious, she dared to tease her, this woman was vicious.
is about to go hand in hand, the overlay is imposing, and the threat is strong.
Xiahou Chun on the side coughed lightly, and after stopping his fight, he immediately patted the horse's buttocks and rode into the dust.
Liu Wenzhen followed closely, always vigilant about Tao Fu, although this person had dismissed his subordinates and returned to the camp first, no one could predict whether this person would still play tricks.
Tao Fu glanced at Weng Boying, the other party lowered his eyebrows, and after he snorted lightly, he said lightly to the overlay:
"After entering the camp, don't use your mysterious power, otherwise don't blame the commander for 'attacking the camp'."
The overfaced man's eyes were gloomy, and after a cold snort, he reined in his horse and walked away.
Tao Fu glanced at Xiahou Chun's back, and then instructed the stationed soldiers: "From today onwards, the patrol in the city will be tripled, and then send someone to inform the sailor that you must keep an eye on those uninvited guests!" ”
Awe-inspiring promise, after clenching his fists, he stepped back from the order.
The city defense camp is placed in the city, adjacent to the right gate, which can be used to defend the palace city and protect the government of the ministry; Far can go down the river, control and choke Heluo, which can be called attacking, retreating and defending.
And guarding the embankment of the river bridge is like choking the throat of the south bank to prevent the soldiers from admonishing the people.
However, when Xiahou Chun and others went to the garrison camp in person, they pounced.
Outside the barracks, the chief of the guard bowed his head and said: "The general has not returned from his visit to Qianqiuguan, if you are interested, you can go to Qianqiu for a while." ”
Immediately, Xiahou Chun's expression was calm, and Liu Wenzhen was furious.
The man with the face seemed to be smiling, Murong frowned silently, and his eyes flickered non-stop.
Fang Xirou muttered to herself, get off the horse?
Weng Boying was displeased, and while clinging to Xiahou Chun, he looked at Tao Fu with a displeased expression.
The other party was calm, looked at Xiahou Chun, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, if you stay in the camp for a while, I think the general will return soon." ”
Everyone's eyes fell, waiting for Xiahou Chun to decide.
The atmosphere was slightly stagnant, Xiahou Chun squinted slightly, then chuckled, directly lifted the reins, turned the horse's head and left.
"Missing him?" Fang Xirou glanced at Xiahou Chun and asked.
Xiahou Chun raised his eyes to look at the southwest and smiled: "General Qin is entangled in military affairs, unless he has to do so, how can he leave the camp, since he is now looking at the Thousand Autumns, then the palace should go to see him in person!" ”
After finishing the way, he reined in his horse and left, Liu Wenzhen glanced at the Tao Fu coldly, and immediately followed.
When the prince of the court was coerced to come to patrol the camp, not to mention, he was also released pigeons, which was really not as simple as a battle of will.
That General Qin's attitude is worth playing.
And according to Xiahou Chun, it seems that this matter is not over?
The masked man looked at Murong and said in a low voice, "Princess, what should we do?" ”
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, he glanced at Fang Xirou, who was thoughtful, and said with a light smile: "What His Highness wants is what Murong wants." ”
She snorted and saddled away.
Fang Xirou and Weng Boying glanced at each other, and they both saw that things seemed to be in a big deal.
"I wonder if the two of you will stay in the camp, or go to Qianqiu Temple?" Tao Fu asked with a chuckle.
Fang Xirou pursed her lips, flew up directly, and walked away on the horse, which made Weng Boying amazed.
After shouting 'Fairy Fang wait for me', he rode away.
