"Your Majesty's dictation! The Nine Emperor Princes returned thousands of miles north after a tiring journey, so they ordered the Plum Garden to rest for a day. The two generals Yang and Gu and all the generals and soldiers escorted them with meritorious service, and they do not need to enter the palace today to resume their lives, and they will be rewarded for their merits in the morning tomorrow. ”

"Thank Your Majesty for Your Grace ......"

Gu Changting, Yang Xumei and the other escort soldiers and the Heaven-mending Sect members got up, and greeted the young man who dismounted and walked with a bookish face.

The man smiled in return and walked toward the carriage.

Su Hanshan, who was wearing a green shirt with a wooden hairpin, and Li Tianxia, the prince of the Southern Dynasty in white, also got out of the carriage and looked at the man with a puzzled face.

The man stopped in front of them.

The three of them looked at each other, which was very interesting.

After a few breaths, Su Hanshan actually spoke at the same time as the young man.

"Fourth brother?"

"Ninth brother. ”

Su Hanshan showed a smile, an extremely sincere and happy smile.

The young man in front of him, who looked a little similar, was none other than his half-brother, the fourth prince Su Yunchan. In addition to Emperor Jingyou, Su Hanshan's real closest relatives.

......

The Tiandu of the Su and Tang Empires, which is recognized as one of the most prosperous places in the Spring and Autumn Jiazi years, is a city within a city, with three outer cities, imperial cities and palace cities from the outside to the inside, and the terrain is gradually rising.

The outer city is a truly prosperous place, and it covers the most extensive area. There are ordinary people, wealthy families, official mansions, restaurants, inns, halls, and flower neighborhoods.

The Imperial City is the centralized office of the major institutions of the imperial court, and it is also the place where the Tiandu Guard, who is responsible for the order and stability of the outer city, is stationed. Therefore, most of the people who come and go are officials at all levels.

The last Miyagi is the Imperial Compound, which is guarded by the Imperial Army. As the name suggests, Miyagi is the residence of Emperor Tang Jingyou, and non-imperial relatives cannot live.

......

The convoy turned from Yonghe Street in the outer city to Chang'an Avenue.

After the fourth prince, Su Yunchan, led the Tianduwei to take over the convoy, the blue-robed archbishop of the Mending Heaven Sect retired and led a group of disciples to leave.

Seeing that they were heading out of the city, Su Hanshan estimated that it was time to go to Tianfu Mountain outside the city to recover his life.

I thought that after seeing my father, I would definitely go to Tianfu Mountain, the Taoist sect, in person, to thank the Lord Shenque of the Heavenly Sect who threatened to accept him as a disciple.

......

Su Hanshan and Li Tianxia did not take a carriage, but walked side by side with the four princes Su Yunchan on each horse, talking and laughing all the way.

The four princes introduced all kinds of Tiandu to Su Hanshan along the street, including folk customs, food, architecture, Taoism, the main institutions of the imperial court and various etiquette situations to pay attention to when entering the palace city, etc., and also cared about Su Hanshan's life in the Taohuashan Temple of the Southern Dynasty and the recovery of the congenitally damaged Yuan Shen.

Of course, there is also the interception and killing mentioned in the letter of the Seven Princes.

Su Hanshan, who was called a sharp-toothed little monk by the crown prince Li Tianxia, was also quite talkative with his brother, and rarely avoided it. Even if he met Su Yunchan for the first time, he didn't feel strange.

The siblings who reunited after a long absence were seen by the people on both sides of Chang'an Street, which was quite a warm picture.

......

"It's a bit similar. ”

On the left side of Chang'an Avenue is a row of closely connected pavilions.

The inn is next to the restaurant, and the restaurant is next to the shop, and the shop is connected to the inn, which stretches to the end of the street.

In the pavilion called Drunken Immortal, the Daomen Eight Small Heavy Mountains ranked seventh, and in addition to Feng Qiwu, the disciple of the Heaven Replenishing Sect who had the highest cultivation talent but was the most lazy, Cangwu Yu, looked at the four princes and the nine princes who were passing by in the Tiandu Guard convoy below, and said with emotion.

"One grew up in the Southern Dynasty and was influenced by Buddhism, and the other was in the temple and did not fight or grab, only pursuing tranquility and leisure. These two people are worthy of being brothers, and even the Buddha nature is the same!" commented Xiao Chongshan, who dressed as a man and did not lose her heroic spirit.

"Senior sister is far away again, I mean appearance!" Cang Wuyu looked at the calm face and twinkling eyes of the little junior sister dressed as a man, who always did not match her age, and was quite helpless.

"Appearance?" Xiao Chongshan frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "Can you also see a person's Buddha nature by appearance?"

Cangwu Yu turned around and said angrily: "Senior sister, isn't it that senior brother said you, why can't you get along with Buddha nature? Although you are born with a delicate heart, why can't you use it to dig out some of the beautiful human feelings in the world, and only see the dirty, despicable and gloomy side all day long? Look at your frowns, where is there still a little bit of the cute appearance that a Sichun girl should have?"

Xiao Chongshan, who was dressed as a man, stared at Cangwu Yu.

"I suddenly remembered that there was still a rune that I hadn't finished carving......"

Cangwu Yu, who knew this kind of eyes very well, was deeply aware of the bad thing, and was nervous, choked on the tea in his mouth, quickly wiped his mouth, and found an excuse to slip away.

......

"That is the first floor in Tiandu City, with a total of forty-four floors. Su Yunchan pointed to the pavilion not far ahead, where lanterns hung in the corner of the eaves, towering into the sky.

Su Hanshan and Li Tianxia looked at each other from afar.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the team gradually approached the first floor, and then passed by from Chang'an Avenue.

Su Hanshan's gaze never looked away.

He looked up at the location of the third floor of the first cloud building in the world, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he actually saw the girl in the red Buddha clothes standing on the third floor and looking at him.

Beside the girl was a fat old man who was quite rich and smiling.

......

The owner of the first floor stroked his beard, looked at the guards beside Su Hanshan downstairs, and said lightly: "Didn't you say that there is a very important girl? Why didn't my father-in-law see it?"

"Could it be in the carriage?"

The red Buddha's cheeks were red, and he held the old landlord's arm, revealing a shy look: "Father-in-law......"

The old landlord laughed and said, "What a good boy! According to my father-in-law, you enter the palace and beg Your Majesty, and hurry up to set a time to end the marriage. There are so many ladies in Tiandu City, maybe one day the Nine Emperor Princes will be hit by a hydrangea, don't blame your father-in-law for not caring about your life's events. ”

The red Buddha's eyes fluttered, and he glanced at Su Hanshan, who was passing by the first floor but still looked back at him. Touching his slightly hot cheeks, he was extremely embarrassed, and turned around and went upstairs.

Meng Shentong, the old landlord, laughed: "The female is not left." ”

......

Entering the Suzaku Gate from Chang'an Avenue is the imperial city surrounded by deep walls. Compared with the bustle and bustle of the outer city, the imperial city undoubtedly looks much more solemn and solemn, and it is unusually quiet.

According to the laws of the Sutang Dynasty, the Tianduwei garrison of the Imperial City, which was responsible for maintaining the stability of the outer city, could not enter the palace city through the Chengtian Gate. Therefore, when the convoy entered the Suzaku Gate, Tianduwei led the thirty elite cavalry led by Gu Changting to report to the military department.

In the end, only Su Hanshan, Li Tianxia, Gu Changting, Yang Xumei and the four princes and five princes dismounted from Chengtianmen and walked towards the plum garden.
