A few days later, Golden Scale City

Xuanwu Sect is full of people, bustling, this ancient emperor has experienced several wars, witnessed the rise of the dynasty, and witnessed the fall of the heroes. Wind and rain, ups and downs, in the past thousand years, she has changed several masters, bred prosperity for this land, and buried countless creatures under the city wall, yin and yang rotate, and the way of heaven is constant.

Ninety years ago, a general of the city head cut the banner of the Jin Dynasty to set up a new banner of the Wu Dynasty, the ancient city changed hands, the new emperor's name was Hua, and the name of the country was Wu. Since then, she has been settled in this warm wind and warm rain for a long time.

Now she has already restored the lively scene that the famous city should have, the streets and alleys are full of people, from all over Dawu, all kinds of people gather here, talented and beautiful women, businessmen and martial artists, cargo ships come and go, day and night, civil and martial arts, fighting in the ring, and the prosperous scene is more prosperous in the previous dynasty. It's just that a little man in black at the entrance of Xuanwu, the most trafficked person, is incompatible with this lively street market.

I saw that she sometimes climbed the tower to look into the distance, and sometimes rushed downstairs, staring at every pedestrian passing by one by one, for fear of missing something. The soldiers on duty watched her run back and forth, like a small black fish shuttling freely in the vast flow of people and streets, sometimes marching against the current, sometimes interspersed back and forth, almost jumping out of the river.

"Xiao Yu'er, don't run away, your two brothers are just going to Wuding on a business trip, you have been watching under this Xuanwu Gate for three days, this needs to be done by Jinyi Wei, it must be complicated, you can't come back in a few days, you don't know, what's the point of panic! Your brother, they can't be lost!" Lao Zhang sat under the simple tea shed at the city gate and greeted the cute little man in front of him.

The golden scales have no war anymore, and the soldiers in peacetime are really idle, especially the work of guarding the gate. But after all, it is the old capital of Dawu, and it still has to be done in terms of appearance, the helmet can be removed, but the iron armor does not dare to fade. But this scorching sun will not favor anyone, it should be hot, but if the armor is complete and stands under this scorching sun for a day, the gods can't stand it. Therefore, the soldiers set up a simple tea shed under the city gate, and as soon as the sun came, everyone hid in the tea shed to drink tea.

Shangfeng also knew the situation, but he turned a blind eye. After all, aren't people just trying to be comfortable?

"Hmph, my brother, they are going to do big, big, big things! I have to wait for them in this Xuanwu Gate to triumph and give them the wind and dust. It's you, in the morning, you know that drinking tea and playing chess is not interesting at all!" The little man turned his head and replied when he heard the shouting.

Replying, the man's face was pink and tender, with a little baby fat, and the powder made people want to go up and pinch it when they saw it. The eyebrows are thin and curved, there is already a little sweat on Qiong's nose, the snow-white skin under the sun is slightly pink, and it is dotted with a touch of cherry lips, a pair of cunning eyes are slick, the eyelashes are long and curved, and in the blink of an eye, it looks like a naughty little fox, smart and energetic. Coupled with the petite figure, people wonder if this is not the porcelain man burned in the official kiln who has the wisdom to enter the world, if Nuwa Niangniang is true to make people out of the soil, then this little person must be one of her own hands, favored by her mother, and poured ingenuity. Even after watching it for a long time, people have an urge to go up and pinch that warm and snowy cheek, bully her hard, and see her cry aggrieved.

It is said that such a lovely person comes and goes under this Xuanwu Gate like a butterfly wearing flowers, and passers-by must turn back one step at a time. The fact is that he only dares to look back one step at a time, and he has to be the kind that sneaks a peek at it quietly.

Because the black clothes worn by the lovely man were used to complement the patterns tattooed on it, the dragon's head, the body of the fish, the winged ——— the flying fish suit. On the thin waist, on the left side of the body is an embroidered spring knife, and on the right side is a small crossbow in a leather bag with a belt down.

It can be said that:

The girl was born handsome and pretty, with a knife at the waist.

Ten fingers do not stain the spring water, and the night royal clothes catch the night.

The dark eyes swept through the pedestrians one by one, and many of the people who came to Golden Scale City for the first time were panicked. The question in my heart is whether something happened in the city to surprise the brocade guard personally came here to take over the responsibility of guarding the city gate, although the pedestrian saw that it was smart, but afraid of its identity, she looked at it, and bowed her head and left, for fear of really causing some trouble, only after going far away dared to look back at this beautiful porcelain man, sighed a sentence of the famous city, indeed raise people.

"Eh, Xiao Yu'er, don't you know that the sun is too much in July, and your skin will turn black, but it will never be white! Lao Zhang, I, but it was because I basked in too much sun here that I became black, so I couldn't marry my daughter-in-law until I was in my thirties, and I found your aunt in my thirties, and your little girl was only fifteen, sixteen or seven, so I didn't want to be able to marry for the rest of my life?" Lao Zhang saw that she still didn't give up, so he changed his rhetoric again. Obviously, this sentence is very lethal to the little girl.

"Ahh

"I'm dozens of years old, can I lie to you as a little girl?" Lao Zhang took a sip of tea and slowly shook his head and replied.

"Well, well, then, that. Then sit down for a while, take a sip of tea, and then continue to wait for my brother and them!"

"Eh!! it's wrong, it's wrong, Brother Yang, you're wrong at this step. How can you get on the horse??? directly start the cannon, come and fight along the river with one hand, and the general will pull off the horse!"

"You girl, a true gentleman who doesn't say anything about chess!"

"Well?!I, Shen Xiaoyu, am the number one nineteenth player in the Golden Scale Chess Circle!Brother Yang, you still don't believe me?"

That being said, Lao Yang's hand was not right, and he had already secretly withdrawn his horse and moved the cannon up.

"Husband who has no regrets about chess?? Lao Yang, you still don't talk about chess virtue!?"

...... .....

Listening to the laughter of everyone behind him, Lao Zhang shook his head, and there was only one sentence in his heart: Comfortable, it's good!

With a pot in his hand, he added another cup of tea.

Two hours later, it was noon, and the sun was at its most poisonous.

At the ferry outside the city, two black-clothed brocade guards got off the boat, without an umbrella in their hands, just holding a big wooden box, striding towards the Xuanwu Gate, the speed was very fast, and the pedestrians around saw this, and they retreated two steps back.

But the two of them seemed to be like the grim reapers, walking in the daytime, and the vicious sun everywhere they went lost their temper, and as soon as the breeze passed, the vendors selling goods on the roadside suddenly felt a slight chill on their faces.

Let's say that Xiao Yu'er is having fun in the tea shed here, and she has already thrown the matter of waiting for her brother to come back, indulging in the things that are not meaningful at all in her mouth and can't extricate herself.

was lying on the table, listening to Lao Yang tell about his past wandering and wandering into the rivers and lakes alone. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my cheeks, as if I had been grabbed by a large hand. In order to alleviate the pain, the body subconsciously followed the hand that pinched the face and stood up, the pink left hand, kept slapping the murderer's hand, and the right hand touched his small crossbow.

"Ahh!!h

"Xiaoyu, why don't you go to Xuncheng and hide from drinking tea here?" But it was obvious that the other party didn't eat her, and a cold voice interrupted Shen Xiaoyu's movements.

Then, a crisp voice fell into the noisy crowd of Xuanwu Gate, and the slightest ripple was very penetrating, so that the people nearby who heard it were all stunned.

"Ah!!!! brother!" he said, and rushed into the arms of the man who had done evil.

After a while, the three of them walked on the street, and Shen Xiaoyu walked in the middle. One tall, one short, one tall.

"Brother, what is this?!" Shen Xiaoyu only felt cold and cold while holding the box, and asked.

"This is a gift for you, open it and take a look?" replied the tall brocade guard on the left.

Shen Xiaoyu opened the box, the box was divided into two layers, the outer layer was many ice cubes of different sizes, and in the middle were three objects with golden and round skins, and the leaves under them were green, obviously just picked from the tree.

"Melon, it's very heat-relieving, try it!?"

"I brought it to you on the way. ”

The two people on Shen Xiaoyu's left and right said every word, understatement, as if they were ordinary.

But Shen Xiaoyu knew where this was brought by hand, from Wuding to Golden Scale. Even if the boat ride is smooth, it will take a day and a night, and in the summer by the river, this ice cube is extremely difficult to find, not to mention that it has just been opened, and there is a little water under the box, indicating that the ice cube has just begun to melt. Along the way, the two elder brothers must have exhausted their internal strength to keep the ice in it intact. And the reason is just to bring her a few chilled melons to cool off after a business trip.

"Thank you, brother, this, it's so bothersome, it's so precious. I, I, I can't bear to eat. I want to take it back and let's eat it together in the evening. Okay?" After seeing the contents of the box, Shen Xiaoyu immediately closed the box, preventing it from touching the scorching air too much, and looked left and right at the two elder brothers' voices a little lower.

"Well, that's fine. You can take the little fish home first, put it in the cellar, we will go to the Zhenfu Division to recover our lives, and buy a few side dishes on the way back, and we will have a good meal at night. The handsome Jin Yiwei on the left looked at Shen Xiaoyu with a doting expression and replied.

"Well, brother, you must come back quickly! I'll be waiting for you at home. With that, the extremely precious person bounced all the way to the crowd with the box in his arms.
