Zhao Yingqi and Zhao Tong rested overnight in the Ningwang Mansion of the Four Princes, and they were on the road for a day yesterday, and they were still outside the city, and Zhao Yingqi got up very late.

In fact, to be honest, Zhao Yingqi didn't have the habit of getting up early in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't have done freelance work, and in this life, he just didn't have late-night entertainment projects such as computers and mobile phones, so he went to bed early and got up early.

When Zhao Yingqi got up, it was already more than half an hour, and Zhao Tong was ready to go out after waiting for the change of clothes and washing.

When the housekeeper of King Ning's Mansion left, he said to Zhao Yingqi that His Royal Highness was still in the palace and did not return to the house, I am very sorry, there is a big set outside the city on the twenty-first day of the lunar month today, and it is the last big set before the New Year, which is very lively, and you can go and have a good time.

Zhao Yingqi is not interested in the so-called big set, he doesn't believe that it can be more lively than those Christmas Eve and Qixi Nights in his previous life? just answered with a sentence and took Zhao Tong out.

Tongying Mansion is roughly divided into four parts: the imperial city, the inner city and the outer city, the imperial city is the imperial palace and two classes and three yamen, the inner city is mainly the residence of the princes and ministers and the six departments of the yamen, the outer city is mainly the main area of the people's residence and activities.

There are a series of taboos such as curfew, martial ban, fire ban in the city, and generally the street is cleaned at four o'clock, and the city gate is closed at four o'clock after an hour, and then the forbidden army patrols the street. At the same time, civilians were not allowed to carry long-handled, bows and crossbows and other weapons in the city, and open fires were not allowed in the city, so many of the camps were carried out in several small towns outside the city.

Of course, at the emperor's feet, it is said to be a small town, which is only big compared to the ordinary lower county.

Zhao Yingqi didn't understand these rules of Tongying Mansion very well, but subconsciously thought that the city was more lively than the outside of the city, so he missed a lot of interesting things.

Today, however, is an exception, and the inside of the city seems to be a little more lively than the outside.

Zhao Yingqi followed Zhao Tong around Tongying Street, approaching the New Year, and the street was very lively.

The two chatted while shopping, and Zhao Yingqi saw that Zhao Tong was more interested in some things on the street than herself, a person who had crossed over, and couldn't help but joke that she had never seen the world.

Who knows that Zhao Tong has really never seen the world, literally, he has never seen the world.

Zhao Tong told Zhao Yingqi that she had been practicing martial arts in seclusion on Tongtian Mountain since she could remember, and that she was not allowed to go out of the mountain without the requirements of the head armor in the division.

Zhao Yingqi actually inherited very little memory of this life, so he generally didn't dare to ask too much about Zhao Tong's past, for fear that he would miss something.

When I talked about it by chance today, I actually knew that Zhao Tong was also the first time to see Zhao Yingqi in Jia County, and I didn't know who Mr. was before.

Zhao Yingqi couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

It turns out that Zhao Tong's master is a very mysterious master, there are only four people in the master, master, uncle, and she also has a junior sister.

"Then why are you the only one out of the mountain?" Zhao Yingqi casually put a small head flower on the roadside stall for Zhao Tong and looked at it carefully.

"Because the time is up, I'm the most powerful person in the door. After waiting for more than a hundred years and nearly three generations, I finally waited for the instructions to go out of the mountain. Zhao Tong was still a little proud in his words, the feeling that I was great, and I was quick to praise me.

Zhao Yingqi heard what the little girl meant, and smiled slightly: "Amazing, the most powerful person in more than a hundred years and three generations is actually my Xiaotong." But what do you mean by the instructions to go out of the mountain? Feeling a little dissatisfied as he spoke, he took off the hair flower that was inserted on Zhao Tong's head just now, and replaced it with a hairband and gestured on Zhao Tong's ponytail.

"There is a sacred stone in the door, and when the door master needs to go out of the mountain, he will explain the time and place of recognizing the lord on the sacred stone almost one to half a year in advance. During this time, it is necessary to decide the owner of the door, and only the owner of the door is qualified to go out of the mountain to recognize the master. If the name of the owner is displayed on the sacred stone, you can go out of the mountain. Zhao Tong was choosing hairpins, and the pair of hairpins they bought last time were given to the three princes they hated, and she was thinking about what style to change this time.

"Why do you still confess the Lord when you have become the master of the door? And why only the master of the door can go out of the mountain. The more Zhao Yingqi listened, the more puzzled he became, this was not the same as the sect in his impression.

"Xiao Tong didn't know that Xiao Tong and Xiao Ling grew up together, and they originally made an appointment to go out of the mountain together to find Mr., but in the end, the master and uncle said that only one person could go out of the mountain." Zhao Tong seemed to think of his little sister when he was a child, and he was a little low: "After coming out of the mountain, I realized that the place where the mountain gate is located is very mysterious, and you need to pass through a misty canyon to get out of the mountain, and the place where you come out is not certain." ”

"I'm not sure what it means, isn't it the Tongtian Mountain?"

"No, Tongtian Mountain is in the extreme west, and Xiao Tong found himself in Chunling after the canyon, Xiao Tong also took a lot of effort to come down from Chunling to determine the location, and then found Mr. in Jia County according to the information written on the divine stone." Zhao Tong picked and chose at the small jewelry stall for a long time, and finally fell in love with a pair of turquoise hairpins.

Zhao Yingqi saw this thing, thought about it, and decided to refuse, no man would want to bring a green thing on his head.

Zhao Tong had no choice but to pout and choose again, Zhao Yingqi combed the ponytail one because he liked it, and the other because he was lazy, the person who only kept short hair in his previous life suddenly became long hair in his life, and that feeling made Zhao Yingqi feel that it was really the biggest debuff.

The two of them chatted and picked up, and finally only chose two identical headbands, and as soon as the two helped each other tie them, they heard someone next to them shouting: "Someone is setting up a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and the Praetorian Guard has also specially approved the lifting of the ban, but it is lively, just where it is at Tongdamen." ”

Many people on the street are going over there when they hear this kind of thing, and some vendors are also pushing their own cars to prepare to go over to join in the fun.

Zhao Yingqi was also quite interested, so he took Zhao Tong to walk south with the flow of people.

Zhou State is still martial, almost all the larger cities have martial arts platforms, with Yingfu City a total of ten city gates, the east, west, south three directions of the city wall each have a large two small three city gates, and the north of the imperial city has a city gate, that is straight into the palace, usually do not open.

Tongda Gate is the city gate on the west side of the south city wall, there is a ten-zhang wide martial arts platform in this city gate, and this time the martial arts competition is here.

When Zhao Yingqi and Zhao Tong arrived, the competition platform was basically surrounded by people, and the two people on the stage were competing.

Zhao Yingqi felt that it was not interesting to look in the crowd, so he took Zhao Tong to find a nearby restaurant, and went upstairs to find a place by the window to sit and watch.

Unexpectedly, the second and third floors of this hotel were already full, and many people were lying by the windows and looking out.

As a last resort, Zhao Yingqi walked to a table where there was still a vacant seat and wanted to share a table with him.

At this table are two young men, white and clean in scribe's clothes, and they feel that they will be easier to speak.

When I got closer, I realized that these were obviously two young ladies dressed as men.

Among them, the little girl in white should be a young lady, watching the two people below fight or chuckle or clap their hands. Another girl in Tsing Yi should be a maid, and from time to time she helps her young lady pour wine.

Zhao Yingqi looked at the two of them slightly, and felt that it should be the daughter of a powerful family, her appearance, posture and temperament are all the best choices, as far as Zhao Yingqi has seen so far, it is this girl in white who is the most beautiful, although she is dressed in men's clothes, but not only does it not cover up her noble female temperament, but it shows her graceful posture even more.

Because the Zhou State is located in the north of the Spring Ridge, there is a saying that "there is no spring in the north of the Spring Ridge", so the scribe clothes of the Zhou State are mainly based on martial sleeve leather boots, and the hem of the jacket will be tightened with a belt to prevent the cold wind from penetrating, and a cardigan gown or cloak will be put on outside in winter.

The woman in white sat at the table with a tall body, and under the modification of the belt, the curve between the waist and legs was more conspicuous, but unfortunately... I can't afford it...

Otherwise, it's perfect.

"I'm sorry, can my husband and I share a table with you?" Zhao Tong went up to talk and asked softly.

The woman in white shifted her gaze from the competition platform on the side of the street, her clear eyes flowed like a clear spring on Zhao Yingqi's master and servant, and a slanted bangs on her forehead slanted into the back of her ears from right to left, because she turned her head and fell slightly, stretched out her white fingers to bring the bangs back behind her ears, and she could see that it was silky and delicate. The beautiful feeling of everyone's ladies is even brighter and more lovely under the rare winter sunshine of Tongying Mansion.

"Yes, you two may be seated." The voice of the woman in white was slightly light, which made Zhao Yingqi think of the wind chimes she heard in King Ning's Mansion last night, "Fei Fei, go and ask the store to add two more sets of tableware." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi got up and went to the staircase to find the shopkeeper, and when she left, she glanced at Zhao Yingqi and the others, as if she was angry, probably because she felt that she had abruptly surprised her young lady.

Zhao Yingqi sat opposite the woman in white and smiled at her: "Miss is also here to watch people compete?" ”

The eyes of the woman in white dodged slightly, but the corners of her mouth flashed with a ripple: "What Miss, this son is here to see this Miss Li, if there is a chance, I will marry this Miss Li home." ”

The ripples at the corners of the woman's mouth rippled with her words, turning into a mischievous smile.

"I see, it seems that Brother Tai knows about this fighter?" Since people didn't want to explain, Zhao Yingqi no longer insisted, but just asked.

"The one who set up this ring is the daughter of General Li Yuanbai, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty, Oh, if you can marry her and go home, you will be able to rise to the clouds." The pranks on the corners of the woman's mouth in white are constantly fermenting.

"It turned out to be the old man's daughter, the old man is so old, how old are the daughters." Zhao Tong sat next to Zhao Yingqi and couldn't help but interject, it seemed that he was still holding a grudge against Li Yuanbai.

"This girl, General Li is an old woman, and his daughter is naturally a cardamom girl, so your beauty is not necessarily more beautiful than others." The woman in white looked at Zhao Tong's face and couldn't help admiring this woman's beauty.

"This is the younger brother below, and the brother doesn't want to joke." Zhao Yingqi was also ready to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"Brother? Scold... Your brother is more beautiful than a princess. ”

"Oh? Brother Tai has also seen Her Royal Highness the Princess? Zhao Yingqi beckoned Zhao Tong to help that Fei Fei arrange the tableware.

"How can anyone, my princess Yongle of Da Zhou, be seen casually?"
