Chapter Twenty-Nine: Tianfu Yuehong Tower
Yesterday, when I was still sleeping in the wilderness, I only felt that the surrounding environment was quite remote, but now when I approached Tianfu, the capital of South Korea, I felt that the surroundings were slowly bustling. Cars, horses and pedestrians are gradually dense, and even there are many small vendors on both sides of the road who have set up stalls, and there are bursts of shouting, noisy, laughing and talking, and I feel as if I have stepped into the town from the outskirts of the wilderness in just an instant, and has been squeezed into the slow flow of people.
Cheng Ru squatted on the axle and watched left and right, thought about it, took out a handful of melon seeds from his arms and slowly knocked them, "Jiang Lili, are we going to Tianfu? There are so many people here?
"Don't drag me this kind of literary correction words!" Jiang Lili scolded, "Is it for you to be idle? Come on, come on, you come to drive the carriage!"
Cheng Ru was only eating a small half of the melon seeds in his hand, and he was not happy when he heard Jiang Lili's words, "You are unreasonable, didn't I drive the carriage a few days ago? You have only been driving for a long time and you have dumped this matter on me? I knew that I should have hired a coachman, and I would have saved you the call!"
Jiang Lili turned his head to look at Cheng Rus, and said coldly: "If you hadn't lost the original carriage, you could indeed hire a coachman." β
Cheng Ru knew that he was at a loss, so he stopped arguing with Jiang Lili, muttered to himself, and took the reins after handing the melon seeds in his hand to Jiang Lili. It's just that Cheng Ru's ability to drive a carriage is much worse than Jiang Lili's, and he is fine on the wide and unmanned post road, but now he panicked on this crowded road, and accidentally kicked the horse's buttocks, causing the horse to neigh, scattering its hooves, I don't know how many people were shocked along the way, and I don't know how many people's burdens were knocked over along the way.
"You don't have long eyes, do you?
"Your mother, you run fast, be careful of Lao Tzu pumping you! Ouch, how should I pick up the grapes in my place? Hey, hey, take care of your children, hey, hey, hey, this is Lao Tzu's grapes!"
Cheng Ru didn't dare to make a sound, listening to the angry scolding from the people on the side, his heart was even more panicked, and the horse ran more and more presumptuously.
Jiang Lili was not a gutsless rotten person like Cheng Ru, so he immediately scolded back, "Don't you know how to look at the road? Do you want Lao Tzu to teach you to walk? Watching Lao Tzu's carriage come over and hit the front of the car, I can't kill you! A blind fool deserves to be hit and killed!"
The carriage stumbled along the way until it reached the city gates.
The soldiers at the gate of the city were racking their brains to cheat more tolls from the travelers, when they suddenly heard a scream from the front, and thought they had met a thief, so they hurriedly raised their spears, and they knew that a crazy carriage had hit them head-on, and they were so frightened that they jumped to the side.
Fortunately, the horse had some eyes, and did not run headlong into the roadblock that blocked the way, and stopped after a long neighing.
When the two officers and soldiers saw that the carriage had stopped, they hurriedly straightened their helmets and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you doing? Don't you know that this is the most important place of the country? Do you dare to crash into this place? Just don't you know how the dead word is written? Come on, come on, and report your name first, so that I can see where you are the princes and nobles, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of the gate of Tianfu City!"
Cheng Ru was originally crazy by this
The carriage was frightened, and only then did he react, and hurriedly jumped off the carriage, and smiled at the two officials: "Don't blame the official, we are the travelers of the Great Sui, and we came to Tianfu to enrich our horizons, and please don't blame the official." β
The two officers and soldiers looked at each other, and then one of the officers and soldiers shouted: "Even the people of the Great Sui must understand some rules! Don't think I didn't see it, there is another person hiding in the carriage, isn't it the big thief of the other day? Come down quickly!"
Cheng Ru knew Jiang Lili's temperament, for fear that Jiang Lili would quarrel with these two officers and soldiers, and it would be really difficult to clean it up at that time, so he hurriedly took out a silver ticket from his arms and exposed a corner only for these two officers and soldiers to see, "Official, this friend of mine has received the wind and cold, and he can't see the wind, look at thisγγγγγγ β
The eyes of one of the officers and soldiers lit up, and he was about to take the silver ticket. But just halfway through the hand, he was stopped by another officer and soldier, who was annoyed about how this thing had become incorruptible at this time?
Coughing and pretending to be upright and awe-inspiring, the officer and soldier frowned and shouted: "Wind cold? You don't use this kind of trick in front of Lao Tzu? Now that it's early June, the weather is warm, where is the season when you are infected with wind and cold? Could it be that person is the thief a few days ago? Why don't you come down quickly and tell me to wait for an investigation, otherwise we will call the city defense brigade to take all of you into custody and send you to that prison!"
The implication of this is that there is less money, and more silver can be given to pass through here.
From the original appearance of this officer and soldier to the current fierce color, Cheng Ru naturally knows the meaning of his words. It's just that before his hand was stretched out into his arms, he heard Jiang Lili scold, "You two don't want to kill things, and you dare to block Lao Tzu's way?"
scolded Jiang Lili and jumped out of the carriage, comparing the tiger sword to the neck of this officer and soldier, "To let it go or not?!"
The officers and soldiers were stunned by the cold air on Jiang Lili's knife, and replied tremblingly: "Grandpa, I'll let it go, let it go, let it go, can't I let it go?"
The carriage slowly drove into Tianfu City, Cheng Ru hadn't figured out the stakes at this time, and thought that Jiang Lili's troubles were only indispensable, but who knew that it would be so smooth. I thought to myself that this Korean soldier is too cowardly, not to mention that he is still the gatekeeper of the national capital Tianfu, where is this called South Korea's face?
It's just that Cheng Ru doesn't know how loud the reputation of the Great Sui is in the Southern Dynasties, originally ten years ago, the Great Sui Iron Cavalry went south to make the twelve countries of the Southern Dynasty uncertain, and the two countries next to the Huilongjiang River were even more frightened, not to mention the incident in Luoyang two years ago, which directly brought the limelight of the Great Sui to the peak. In addition, these two officers and soldiers really don't have much backbone of iron-blooded soldiers, perhaps because South Korea has never had a war with the outside in recent years, and the soldiers on the city wall also look like they don't care about themselves, which makes Jiang Lili and Cheng Ru the two enter this Tianfu so smoothly.
It didn't take long to hear a loud scolding behind him, and the voice sounded like that officer and soldier from Fang Cai, "You fucking you Chen Guoren dare to be so presumptuous? Do you think you are from Da Sui? Grandma, call me!"
Chengru
Is it a laugh, thinking to yourself what is going on?
γγγγγγ
Tianfu is worthy of being the national capital of South Korea, and it is only the first time that I have come to such a prosperous city after walking in the Southern Dynasty, with busy traffic, shoulder to shoulder, and the shops on both sides of the street are extremely hot.
It's just that when I arrived in this Tianfu City, I didn't know where to go for a while, Cheng Ru was just called by Jiang Lili to ask for directions, and a teenager came to meet him, this young man was born with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and he was a shrewd character at a glance.
The young man trotted all the way over, first asked the adults hello, and then said, "Is it the first time for the adults to come to this Tianfu?
This is good, but it also saves a lot of trouble.
After taking the young man into the carriage, the young man took the reins graciously, "Don't worry, adults, although the little one is young, he has also driven the carriage for a while. Adults are only afraid that they will be tired from the journey, so let's go and rest first. β
Cheng Ru secretly admired it, and said in his heart that this kid is quite eyesighted, not bad, and worth cultivating! Just as soon as he got into the carriage, he was kicked out by Jiang Lili, and smiled with a gloomy face, "I'll come out to see this prosperous scene." Just look at the view. β
After the carriage turned, it stopped in front of a restaurant, which was extremely high, roughly about ten stories high, and extremely luxurious.
"My lord, this restaurant is called Yue Hong Building, which is one of the few big restaurants in Tianfu, and there are often princes and nobles who come here to drink and discuss things. The terrain is excellent, roughly in the center of Tianfu, left and right can meet the source, and you can go anywhere. If the adults are willing to rest again, the villain will help the adults store the carriage in the miscellaneous room of the restaurant, and if the adults can't look down on it, then the next person will find a good place for the adults. β
Cheng Ru looked at the big signboard of Yue Honglou and hesitated for a while, and when he didn't know where to speak, Jiang Lili walked out of the carriage, "No need, just here." β
He took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and put it in the young man's hand, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you for the reward, I wish you a smooth journey and a happy journey!" The villain will store the adult's carriage in this restaurant, if you want to leave, just call Xiao Er, and the carriage will definitely be delivered to the adult intact." β
After watching the young man pull the carriage away, Cheng Ru muttered, "I think that kid is the nursery of this restaurant, otherwise why would he bring us here directly? I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money to stay in the restaurant for one night, should we change places?"
Jiang Lili said in a deep voice: "That kid is right, this place is a good place." Don't you forget what we're here for? The more big restaurants like this, the better the information. β
Hearing Jiang Lili say this, Cheng Ru no longer persuaded him, but said happily: "I just don't know how luxurious the room in this Yuehong Building is, and I don't know how fragrant the food here is, hehe." I'm hungry too, so I'll definitely order a full banquet and kill myself!"
Jiang Lili is stingy, but he is not the kind of person who only looks at money and does not distinguish between things, and he can distinguish the importance of things.
It's not that he doesn't want to spend money, he just doesn't want to spend it on others, so thank you!
So he said, "I will pay only my own money, and you will pay your own money." β
Cheng Ru was stunned, "Huh?"
