Chapter 12: The Central Axis Dangerous Building
"Childe, the land is bumpy, can't you feel sorry for Yunzhu?" Yunzhu didn't give up and asked.
"I'm sorry, in order to be able to arrive in Jiangyang a day earlier, please bear with Lord Yunzhu Weng." Master returned.
The master's itinerary has been decided, and the news immediately spread to the counties along the way, and the counties and counties together with the nearby counties and counties have made a big fanfare to promote Gongzi Xiaobai.
Before leaving, Zigui went out of the city to see him off.
Specially sent a large number of valuables to the master, and instructed: "Maybe it can be used to make dots, and it can be used by people, gods and ghosts."
The young master had no intention of asking for it, and because he couldn't refuse, he acquiesced to accept it.
The carriage and horses set off, and it didn't take long for the master to poke his head out of the car and shout to Zigui:
"Brother Zigui, is the 'rule' in your name the rule of the rules? Did your mother take it? ”
"Exactly, what's wrong?" Zigui hurriedly urged the horse to arrive.
"Do you know what this sub-rule means?" The master asked.
Zigui didn't know what he meant for a while, and hurriedly asked, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
"Zigui is the cuckoo bird, the cuckoo complains, cries blood and dies, and the pain is in this name." The master said.
"Oh, Zigui understands." It turned out that Zigui's mother had mentioned that she had another name called Cuckoo.
"Farewell." After speaking, the master lowered the curtain. The carriage and horses continued on their way. Only Zigui left a column of guards for one person and one column, and he watched it.
Due to the counties and counties sparing no effort to publicize, every time people gather in Chengguan, all the women greet each other and have a glimpse of the son's demeanor.
In some smaller cities, it is inevitable that some mistakes will occur, and pushing and even stampede will also occur.
The master has become accustomed to it, just sitting in the car and trying to meditate to calm himself down as much as possible. Yunzhu still rides with Xiao Ye under various excuses, chattering about the gossip and trivial matters of the princes and nobles in Jiangyang City. Master doesn't care if it's true or not, remember it all.
The two-day trip, without taking into account the influence of the master, was delayed for a few hours in a small city.
In the afternoon of this day, the sky was clear, and Yunzhu simply rode on his horse. Suddenly, she shouted, "Childe, look at Jiang Yang." ”
The master bowed out of the carriage and stood in front of the carport, looking from afar, where the water and the sky meet, the water city wall, the city tower in the clouds, the mast and sail are dotted, and the smoke rises.
Nearby, the chariots and horses crossed the pontoon bridge across the river, and the two teams of silver-armored knights lined up left and right. This silver-armored knight is an internal guard, dedicated to guarding the safety of Zhuang Gong. The knights are all first-class masters like Fangfang.
The red-clothed knight and the silver-armored knight handed over slightly, and the young master was asked to get off the carriage and change to a four-horse carriage. The four carriages are the highest-level cars in Fangguo, and they are exclusive to Zhuang Gong.
Yunzhu was led away by the red knight.
In order to show solemnity, the people in the city stayed at home, the shops were closed, and there were no idlers on the north-south axis of Jiangyang City except for the red knights.
Jiangyang City is divided into an outer city, an inner city and a central city. The merchants and people in the outer city, the officials and nobles in the inner city, the central city is the palace. The master entered the city gate and walked slowly to the inner city in the outer city, about halfway through, another four-horse carriage drove out of the side alley, overtaking the master, but the coachman of the master took the reins and drove into the side alley, and none of the silver-armored guards who should have followed followed.
The master didn't know why, and asked the groom, "How did you deviate from the avenue?" ”
"Don't worry, this road leads to the side gate of the palace, save time." The coachman answered.
Although the master is worried, there is nothing he can do, both Fu and Zigui say that Jiangyang is safe, so why worry too much. The young master thought in his heart, but saw that there was no one in this side alley, and of course there were no guards.
"Why can't you see people in these streets and alleys?" The master asked.
"Zhuang Gong doesn't like to be lively." The coachman replied.
The master stopped talking. The carriage slowly accelerated. Just as he was about to turn north from the east, he heard a loud bang.
"What is this?" The young master asked in surprise.
"It should be the collapse of Hongbin Building on the Central Axis Road, and the collapsed building should be smashing into the carriage that has just passed." The coachman replied.
"How do you know so clearly?" The young master knew that the coachman had taken him to escape and asked.
"This is called luring the snake out of the hole, but unfortunately even if this snake comes out of the hole, few people dare to touch it."
When the master heard this, he knew that this coachman was extraordinary.
"May I ask the coachman, who are you?" The master asked.
"It's a car for Zhuang Gong, no official or position, just call me Zijing. I have a pond scale academy outside the city, and you can also call me the dean. The coachman replied.
As he spoke, the carriage had returned to the central axis road, and the master looked back to see a collapsed pavilion cutting off the central axis road, and the smashed carriage and horses were faintly seen in the wreckage of the pavilion.
"The coachman must have been stoned to death." The master seemed to question.
"If he doesn't die, you and I have to die, how do you choose?" The coachman asked.
Only then did the master see the appearance of the coachman: or because of his thinness, Zijing's eyes were more profound, and the beards raised on both sides of the person added too much arrogance to this face, giving people the feeling that Lao Tzu was the first in the world, and it was estimated that no one would want to associate with him on weekdays.
As the master can see, Zijing is indeed like this, and his interactions with the princes and ministers are only a little bit of water, not an official position, and I am grateful to Duke Zhuang for inviting him to teach the princes.
"His life is his life, since you know that someone is going to murder me, why don't you stop it before it happens?" The master asked.
"Zhuang Gong meant. I'm just doing what I'm told. The coachman replied again.
Xiao Ye understood, or he couldn't help himself, so he didn't ask anymore and returned to his meditation.
From the inner city gate to the palace is another four miles. The carriage returned to a slow state, the coachman concentrated on driving, and the young master focused on meditation.
The horse......'s hooves clattered and the axles creaked...... The master was finally able to calm down and listen to the sound of horses' hooves and axles.
"Childe, please get out of the car. Zhuang Gong and Gongzi were waiting in the main hall. ”
The master's meditation was disrupted, and when he looked up, the coachman was gone.
The silver-armored knight led the young master to see the Ming father-in-law, who had been waiting for a long time. Gonggong Ming looked up and down, his eyes were full of jealousy, and he said, "Gong Zhuang is waiting in the main hall, and Gongzi please come with the miscellaneous family." ”
The young master looked around, he didn't feel the majesty, but suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Although he has not experienced such a formation, everyone is equal in the bones of modern people, so that he does not have any timidity, but there is more grandeur.
In the main hall, Zhuang Zheng sat in danger, and a son on the side seat had already taken a seat, this person was the son of the child, and there was also a seat on the other side, which was prepared for the son Xiaobai. The ministers and assistants are divided into the left and right of the ranks,
Zijing walked quickly into the hall, saluted Zhuang Gong and the guests and sat down, and waited for Xiaobai with you.
Master, striding forward, no matter how anxious Ming's step-by-step is, it is not as wide as the master's already wide pace, in order not to be rude, the master slowed down the frequency of his steps, and walked slowly behind Ming's father-in-law.
When Gongzi saw Zijing coming all over, he was stunned, and then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Zhuang Gong, the building has fallen."
"Yes, and so do all of you. The restaurant, which was older than my grandmother, was in disrepair and is not surprising that it collapsed today. It's just a pity that I have a four-horse carriage. ”
Hearing this, Childe changed and put down the wine glass and stretched out and sat down.
"Prime Minister Bosang, you are in charge of inspecting and repairing all the houses in Jiangyang City to prevent future troubles." Zhuang Gong glanced at everyone in the row, and finally his eyes fell on Gongzi Jie Na and stopped.
Zijiao, who was supposed to be soothing, panicked again, and then saluted and said: "Zhuang Gong take precautions!"
"Where, where, make amends! Hey, I heard that Gongzi is good at work, so it's better to work hard as a consultant. ”
"Zhuang Gong, fallacy, fallacy." Excuse yourself.
