Fang Linyuan made the people upstairs shout a headache.

Fang Cai still looked very jealous of the man, turned his head and began to coax the seedlings, it really looked like a tree of monkeys, and someone supported him and began to bark with his teeth and claws.

Seeing that the prince in front of him was flushed, he must have drunk too much wine and came out to ride the horse.

Let him pick off the horse like this, seeing that his drunkenness has subsided a lot, Fang Linyuan put away the broom in his hand and leaned back to the shack next to him.

"After settling the losses, the Sixteenth Guard will send the compensation documents to the government." Fang Linyuan said to Wang Chang.

But seeing that Wang Chang got up, and the ashes on his body had not been cleaned up, he stood up straight and put on a swaggering posture: "You dare to accept my horse?" ”

"The sixteen garrison orders clearly stipulate that we dare not disobey them." Fang Linyuan said lightly.

Wang Chang looked impatient and wanted to step forward to recapture his horse.

But as soon as he turned around and was about to order his subordinates, he saw that the people behind him were all held in place. When he turned around, he saw that the guy who had come out of nowhere, and who was ridiculously good, was smiling at him with his arms crossed.

…… Heroes don't suffer immediate losses.

He gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to point at Fang Linyuan: "Sixteen guards, you wait." ”

Fang Linyuan was indifferent to his threat.

The Guogong Mansion is indeed higher than his title. But the law is above, and if you really want to be justified by the title, then the common people in the capital will not live.

Wang Chang gritted his teeth.

This person looked fearless, and there were a group of untouchables around him watching the excitement there, and there were even a group of his dogs upstairs next to him, and he only felt that he had lost all the face in his previous life.

"Let's go!" He didn't linger long, and ordered a few of his followers behind him.

Fang Linyuan's gaze swept away, and Lou Shuo and the others also let them go, allowing Wang Chang and the others to push aside the crowd and leave in disgrace.

"The general's hand is too powerful!" Everyone downstairs came forward one after another. The few guards who had been saved by Fang Linyuan also stepped forward to thank them, their faces full of red light, and they looked proud.

The people on the side also nodded their heads, while Lou Shuo took his money bag and pushed through the crowd, throwing silver at the knocked over vendors and shops one by one.

"Compensation is compensation, this is our general's reward! General Sixteen Guards, you know? The famous Anping Hou! ”

Li Cheng'an upstairs was afraid that there was too much yellow soup, so he coaxed again: "The general is mighty!" ”

The trees were full of monkeys and shouted again.

Fang Linyuan couldn't stand the behavior of this group of gentlemen in the capital, pressed his ears that were so noisy, and raised his hand to stop them.

"That's it!" He said.

The group shut their mouths and looked straight at him with sparkling eyes.

Fang Linyuan raised his head and looked at them, showing no mercy.

"I can't stop a single horse, so when I return to the garrison, I will train them all."

——

After this day, Fang Linyuan still managed the Sixteen Garrison Divisions in an orderly manner.

In addition to the city defense, the public order in all parts of the capital is under the jurisdiction of the Sixteen Guards. Now that the Sixteen Guards have a new look, Fang Linyuan does not dare to relax, so as to avoid the resurgence of that group of Turkic bandits.

However, after a few days, there was no chaos in Beijing.

And the weather is getting warmer, and Qingming is coming.

There are several royal gardens around Shangjing, which have always been open to the common people during the New Year. Daxuan is rich, and the folk have the custom of going out to enjoy the scenery during the Qingming Festival every year, so every Qingming Festival, the Qujiang Pond of the Imperial Garden in the suburbs of Beijing will be open to the people.

When Fang Linyuan was on the frontier, the name of Qujiangchi was like thunder.

This is the largest royal forest garden in Beijing, and because of the tribute paid by foreign countries for many years, it has raised many rare beasts sent by various countries. There are elephants with giant ears and long noses in the country of Cochin, and there are fierce beasts with huge mouths in Tianzhu, and when it comes to the Qingming Festival, ordinary people can see it.

This is a famous event in the capital, and for the sixteen guards, it is necessary to arrange a harder shift.

A few days before the Qingming Festival, the 16 guards were ordered to be responsible for the security patrol of Qujiang Pond on the day of the Qingming Festival.

In the past few days, there has been bad news in Jiangnan.

The Holy Lotus Sect was finally pacified, but unexpectedly, in the final battle, the military department sent Chu You to accidentally let go of Sun Bai, the leader of the Holy Lotus Sect, and other sect members, and even Feng Hanxue, the prefect of Suzhou, was taken away by them.

How ridiculous it is that officials are being caught by traitors.

Chu You presented a 10,000-character guilty complaint, and the saint was furious for a while, and he was limited to catch the thief within ten days. Chu You almost searched Jiangnan, but he didn't find any traces, and the wanted warrant was posted from Jiangnan to the capital.

In the past few days, even the defense of several city gates in the capital has been strengthened a lot.

However, the Holy Lotus Sect, which was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, did not make the people in Beijing too worried, at most they added some talking points after tea and dinner. As the spring breeze warms day by day, the weeping willows by the Qujiang pond are becoming more and more lush and verdant, and the meaning of the festival in Beijing is gradually getting stronger.

Song Zhaojin also made a special trip to make two new spring shirts for Fang Linyuan and Zhao Pu, and gave them to him and Zhao Pu respectively when Fang Linyuan got up early to meet him that day.

"When it comes to Qingming, the queen will also hold a banquet in Qujiang Pond. I've been there a few times, and it's very lively. Song Zhaojin said with a smile. The field there is very spacious, and there are many things, what kind of pot throwing, juju polo, you are young, but you have to have a good time. ”

Fang Linyuan smiled when he heard this: "I'm afraid I'm going to live up to my eldest sister-in-law's new clothes this year." I was on duty that day, so I couldn't play anything. ”

"Ah......" Song Zhaojin showed a little disappointment on his face. You weren't there that day? ”

"It's all in Qujiangchi, and there's no difference." Fang Linyuan comforted her.

"Then don't forget to take care of the princess more while you are on duty." Song Zhaojin did not forget to advise.

Fang Linyuan had no choice but to respond again and again.

However, he didn't think Zhao Pu needed to take care of anything. If the two of them appear in front of people together, they will have to be tied together to play husband and wife, but I am afraid that Zhao Pu will be more troublesome than him.

Thinking of this, Fang Linyuan peeked at Zhao Pu, who was sitting opposite.

Knowing that he doesn't like to talk much, the eldest sister-in-law has always been at Fang Linyuan if she has any instructions. He was sitting there quietly drinking tea at this moment, and the silk next to him was holding the spring shirt given to him by his eldest sister-in-law in both hands.

The tender green one is made of soft and light Suzhou silk, and the color looks a little too delicate.

Zhao Pu's appearance is gorgeous, and his eyebrows are cold, and such a color doesn't seem to set him off. However, the eldest sister-in-law has never seen his appearance, probably according to his age to choose the fabric, and because Qingming is going to go to spring, he specially selected such a beautiful one.

Fang Linyuan's gaze roamed back and forth between the spring shirt and Zhao Pu's face a few times, and he couldn't figure out what Zhao Pu looked like when he wore this color.

Zhao Pu shouldn't be able to wear it, right? He thought to himself. Anyway, he doesn't know if he wears it or not, and his sister-in-law doesn't know.

But this shirt is as tender as a new willow by the pool, and the eldest sister-in-law repeatedly told him that he was bored, so he moved Zhao Pu's head off in his mind and moved it to the shirt.

But at this moment, Zhao Pu raised his eyes, plain but profound, looking at him.

Fang Linyuan was startled.

Somehow, when he fell into Zhao Pu's eyes, he had the illusion of peeking at being caught, and hurriedly looked away.

It shouldn't be, a big man, always staring at others, that has to make others more troublesome. He thought to himself.

Fang Linyuan cleared his throat, and turned his eyes away as if he knew his mistake and changed it, and he was in good order for a while.

And he didn't know that when he fell into the eyes of another person, he seemed to be quietly hiding something.

Like a fawn hiding behind a tree, it thought it was seamless, but unexpectedly, a pair of antlers were already exposed outside the branches and leaves.

Zhao Pu's gaze paused on his face, and then lowered his eyes again.

The fawn was so carefully hidden, he just didn't see the pair of antlers.

——

On the fifth day of the first month, the guards of Qujiang Pond opened the gate of the garden, and the spring scenery of the garden was generously unfolded.

The weather was very good on this day, and as soon as the sky was bright, I could see that the weather was high and crisp. People from all over the capital and several counties and towns outside the city went out one after another, and the horse-drawn carriages and ox carts on the road drove by one after another, looking very lively.

Many children of rich families rode horses, and as soon as they arrived on the outskirts of the city, you chased after me. There are also some people on foot or on donkeys, walking slowly on the flat and wide bluestone road.

In addition to the patrol posts in various places in Beijing, the other sixteen guards were all dispatched to Qujiangchi. The task was heavy that day, and he left early in the morning.

He still had a bandage on his hand, but because Zhao Pu's medicine had already healed most of it, he was wrapped in two more layers of silk at this time, and he could already ride a horse freely.

On this day, because he was on duty personally, he wore a golden red unicorn with narrow sleeves

Caged into the bracers, wearing a long embroidered spring knife on his waist, he looked sassy and heroic.

When he first arrived at Qujiangchi, Li Chengan, who was next to him, straddled the horse and couldn't help but circle around him several times, and said in amazement: "When will I be able to wear the clothes given by the emperor?" It's really good-looking. ”

Fang Linyuan was unmoved, and reminded expressionlessly: "Don't turn in front of me, step on the flowing fire." ”

Li Chengan pouted.

Looking at his calm and alert appearance □□ that war horse, he looks better than a human, who can step on it!

He was not convinced, but he still led the horse away, so as not to touch his precious fire, and it was impossible to tell when the time came.

Before dawn, Fang Linyuan rode his horse to look around Qujiang Pond and inspected the sentry posts and patrols everywhere. By the time it came, many people had already entered the garden, and the occasional chase on the road had been quickly stopped by the Sixteen Guards before it caused a disturbance and trampling.

He continued to patrol the area with a few guards to avoid negligence or other surprises.

On the higher platform on the west side is the place where the queen holds a banquet, guarded by the guards, who can make a little inspection. The people and vendors were scattered all over the pool. A wealthy kid riding a horse rode into the polo field by the pool, chasing and running through the verdant meadow, and many people surrounded him to watch.

And there are also a lot of people and businessmen sitting under the willows by the pool, and the women's spring shirts are thin and gorgeous, fluttering and swaying like clouds falling from the sky. Hawkers with hanging boxes walked around shouting, with all kinds of gadgets, eating pastries and colorful kites.

"If it weren't for my father who forced me to be locked up in the sixteenth guard, I would have been a good player to play polo every spring." Li Chengan couldn't help but stretch his head to the side to watch the excitement on the polo field. "Did you see those guys on the field? None of them are my match combined. ”

Fang Linyuan glanced over there and laughed, "Blow you." ”

When Li Chengan heard this, he turned his head: "Do you know polo?" ”

"I don't understand." Fang Linyuan was extremely calm.

“…… You! Li Chengan glared at him angrily.

"How can there be such a stadium at the border, I have never played." Fang Linyuan said lightly, leading the horse towards the guard by the lake.

"And what are you all playing?" Li Chengan sighed twice when he heard this, a little unimaginable. "It's so boring."

But at this moment, suddenly a light thing flew from under the willow and smashed towards Fang Linyuan.

Fang Linyuan was extremely keen, and the hand holding the knife raised it and stopped it with its scabbard, and the thing slammed into the knife softly and fell.

As soon as he looked down, he saw that it was a blooming peony, and it fell apart on the grass with a click.

Fang Linyuan looked puzzled, raised his eyes, and saw that it was a few brightly dressed girls by the pool, who were looking at him together.

Seeing him, red clouds flew on the cheeks of several girls, but you pushed me and laughed.

Fang Linyuan twisted his eyebrows in confusion, not knowing what they were doing at this time.

"People throw flowers at you, what are you blocking!" Li Cheng'an, who was next to him, asked.

"What are they throwing this for?" Fang Linyuan was puzzled.

"It's a tradition in the capital, if it weren't for your little white face, who would throw flowers for you?" Li Chengan said sourly.

The people of Shangjing are open, and there is not much taboo between men and women, especially under such festivals. Young men will sweep their horses along the road to attract the attention of the opposite sex, and girls will throw flower handkerchiefs at the handsome sons to show their admiration.

A few years ago, Li Chengan could receive it himself, but at this time, Fang Linyuan Zhuyu was on his side, and he intuitively felt that his little light was all covered by him.

While the two were talking, another flower fell on Fang Linyuan.

This time, Fang Linyuan didn't knock the flower down, and in a hurry, a gardenia fell lightly into his arms.

Fang Linyuan raised his hand to shake the flower down.

But before he could make a move, another flower fell into Fang Linyuan's arms. There were a few that didn't hit, and they landed on him lightly, scattering his soft petals.

Fang Linyuan was caught off guard, and he didn't know where to put his hands. The girls around them were in groups, and they were much more courageous than usual, but Fang Linyuan, it was not possible to lose or receive, and under their smiling gaze, the roots of their ears were red with anxiety.

"Let's go!" As soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, he was about to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

But Li Chengan saw that he was embarrassed, but he felt funny, and grabbed the reins of the flowing fire and pulled him in place.

"What are you going to do, people are sending you flowers, but you want to run?" Li Chengan said with a laugh.

The people around him laughed, and those who passed by went straight to him to see the excitement.

The cold and heroic young man rode on the horse, and the soft red petals fell all over his body, and his ears flew a little red.

For a while, a lot of flower sachets were thrown at Fang Linyuan. He blocked it with the scabbard a few times, but to no avail, and the petals on his body fell down in a slump.

At this moment, a bright red peony flew out from under the window of the incense cart not far away and fell steadily into Fang Linyuan's arms.

Li Cheng'an next to him gasped.

"Mrs. Xiao!" He exclaimed quietly.

Fang Linyuan reluctantly followed his gaze, and saw that it was a beautiful woman sitting on a carved incense car, who was opening the curtain and looking at him with a smile.

The lady had flowery cloud sideburns, but the sideburns were empty, as if the one she threw to Fang Linyuan was taken off her sideburns.

This kind of incense car has always been only in the Qinglou, such a day, the spring is like a promise, and there are many Qinglou singing and dancing prostitutes going out in two or two places, which is for elegant things.

"Whoever she is." Fang Linyuan turned his head and whispered. "Let go of me!"

He led the horse forward again, but Li Chengan didn't look afraid of him, and held on to his reins.

"Mrs. Xiao! Xiao Yingchun, the flower of Huifeng Building, is the first of the four famous prostitutes in Beijing! Li Chengan pulled his reins. You're still running, aren't you? ”

"If you don't let go, I'll make up all the ten lashes for you when you go back." Fang Linyuan had no choice but to threaten him.

"Tsk." Li Chengan was reluctant.

"That's fine. Then you give me Mrs. Xiao's flowers, and I'll take them and return them. ”

Fang Linyuan hurriedly picked up the peony from his arms.

Just as he was about to throw the flowers to Li Cheng'an, an eight-passenger mahogany carved carriage stopped not far away. The curtains on the car are heavy, the pearls and jade are splendid, and the silver bells on the eaves make a small and melodious crisp sound, which attracts a lot of attention when it lands.

The curtain of the car opened, and Fang Linyuan saw a familiar, gorgeous and cold face.

Zhao Pu!

It was really a divine soldier descending from heaven, and Fang Linyuan only thought that someone had come to save him. He hurriedly threw the flower handkerchief in his arms to Li Chengan: "My wife is here, don't mess around." ”

It was really at this time that Fang Linyuan found out that Zhao Pu's relationship was really useful!

Sure enough, Li Chengan was also startled when he saw this, and hurriedly took over the pile of things with both hands.

Xiao Niangzi's car was parked not far away, if Her Royal Highness the Princess saw Fang Linyuan and her eyebrows, how would it be good!

I saw Fang Linyuan turn the horse's head and go straight towards the carriage.

And the petals of that body have not yet fallen.

The splendid chisel and gold are graceful and dazzling, Fang Linyuan's posture is tall and handsome, like a good knife out of the sheath, and the petals that fall on his shoulder and back show a bit of spring beauty.

The guards who followed on the side were still probing their brains: "General's wife? Is it Her Royal Highness Princess Huining? ”

"I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess looks better than Chang'e, is it really fake? Don't get in my way, let me see. ”

Li Chengan didn't care about taking the flowers to talk to Mrs. Xiao.

He picked up the things in his arms in one go, and didn't forget to tell the guards next to him: "After a while, the princess Danfan asked, and only said that these were given to me by the little ladies, remember?" ”

The guards next to him laughed: "The general is handsome and romantic, even if we dare to say it, Her Royal Highness the princess will not believe it!" ”

Li Chengan was so anxious that he looked straight back.

I saw that under the curtain raised by the bare hand, the delicate face was as cold as ice and snow on the top of the mountain. Everyone around her was attracted to her and talked about it, but her eyes were as cold as peach blossoms, but she only looked at the general.

Last time, Li Chengan saw this princess on Rongchang Street, and his intuition was that she was a person who was not easy to mess with. Looking at the princess's expression, she must have tasted it, but I am afraid that even a hero like the general will inevitably be the leader of the beauty.

"Don't talk nonsense!" He hurriedly lowered his voice and reproached them.

The general has always favored his wife and protected his shortcomings, if he upsets the princess, he won't break his leg when he comes back!

Li Chengan's hand holding the reins couldn't help but squeeze back and forth nervously. ：，，.
