Chapter 283: Broken Appointment
After Zhao Tiancheng returned to the inn, he didn't expect Zhao Min to be waiting for him, it was already late at night, looking at Zhao Min's somewhat tired face, Zhao Tiancheng hurriedly walked up and hugged Zhao Min gently, "Why haven't you rested yet?"
Zhao Min was overjoyed when he saw Zhao Tiancheng coming back, leaning on Zhao Tiancheng's chest to have a sense of security, and smiled reluctantly, "I thought something happened to you?"
When he left that day, Zhao Tiancheng thought that he would be able to come back that day, but he didn't expect that he had been delayed for a whole day because of Gu Mozhi's matter, and said apologetically: "I met someone, so I was delayed, let's have a good rest!" Knowing that Zhao Min definitely didn't have a good rest yesterday, the cheats of the One Yang Finger and the Six Veins Divine Sword have now been obtained, and the two of them have to go back to the Central Plains and have to go a long way.
Because when they separated from Ren Yingying, several people had already discussed that they would meet in Tokyo after finishing Dali's affairs, so Zhao Tiancheng and Zhao Min rode straight to the northeast after leaving Dali City.
Because the two of them had been delayed for a long time, they were in a hurry this time, and they didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the road, and they had already arrived at the foot of Tokyo in less than a month.
Although the military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty was weak, but the economically developed people's life was also quite rich, as the economic and political center of the whole country, Bianliang can be said to have gathered the essence of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Qingming Shanghe map is the portrayal of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The city walls are all made of bluestone, with a circumference of more than 30 kilometers, several zhang high, and it can give someone a very big sense of oppression from a distance, although Zhao Tiancheng and Zhao Min are still a few miles away from the city. But he also had to dismount and walk, because at this time the official road was already full of people, scholars, merchants, and so on could be seen. On both sides of the official road, there are many teahouses, taverns and other buildings for travelers to rest.
After paying the entrance fee, Bianliang City was completely displayed in front of Zhao Tiancheng and Zhao Min, every building is finely carved, the avenue is bluestone slab ground, and the surrounding buildings are all small buildings, luxuriously decorated. magnificent, just these can see the wealth of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"It's a pity that Tokyo is so beautiful. Zhao Min looked around. This Bianliang is another masterpiece of the heyday of ancient China.
Zhao Tiancheng knew what Zhao Min meant, because in the Southern Song Dynasty, because the city of Tokyo was breached, the entire city had been destroyed by the nomads in the north. to the place where there is a plough for the field. Cloth shop in the foothills of the old city. It's all just a good life. When looking around, I see the pavilions, all the old palaces and temples, all of them are ruined. This sentence is what the Southern Song envoys saw after they returned to Tokyo.
Originally, Zhao Tiancheng wanted to say that the nomads in this period only knew about destruction, but thinking that Zhao Min was also one of them, he swallowed it before he could say it.
"I've been busy on the road these days, so I'm just resting in Tokyo City, so let Yingying and Rong'er take you to take a good look around Tokyo City. Zhao Tiancheng also admired the architecture of Tokyo very much, and when the Southern Song Dynasty saw a great change in architectural style. The layout has become much smaller, and there is no longer the feeling of the atmosphere that it is now.
The two inquired along the road and found the inn where they met. Because it was not on the main street, it was just a small storefront, although it was not big, but the first floor was still full of people, Zhao Tiancheng went directly to the counter and knocked on it.
At this time, the innkeeper with a hat was settling accounts with his head down, and when he heard someone knocking on the table, he raised his head, and saw a young man wearing a long shirt with his hair tied up, and he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with the guest officer?"
"Do you have two women living here?"
The shopkeeper didn't expect that it was another person looking for the two women, since the two showed up, they attracted a lot of people in the city to their inn to find someone, but this time the innkeeper said: "Childe, it's really unfortunate that the two women have left the day before yesterday." ”
Zhao Tiancheng frowned, he had already made an appointment to meet here, although Zhao Tiancheng was a while later than the agreed time, but the two girls would not have anything important, how could they leave?
"Did you leave any message?"
The innkeeper thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, it seems that I was in a hurry at that time." In fact, the innkeeper was also reluctant to let the two daughters leave at that time, and because of the two daughters, he made a lot of money every day in this small shop just for extra money. In his opinion, the two daughters are cash cows.
Zhao Tiancheng had no choice but to leave the inn, and seeing Zhao Tiancheng's appearance, Zhao Min asked, "Didn't you see it?" ”
nodded, "The shopkeeper of the inn said that he left the day before yesterday, and he didn't know what to do." ”
Just when the two were discussing whether to stay here and wait for the two daughters or directly inquire about the whereabouts of the two girls and catch up, a beggar actually came to the two of them.
"This son is Zhao Tiancheng Zhao Gongzi?"
Originally, Zhao Tiancheng was a little disdainful of people with sound limbs to be beggars, but now he is in a worse mood, so he naturally won't have a good face, "Yes! What's the matter with you?"
The beggar didn't care about Zhao Tiancheng's contempt, "The two heroines went to the apricot grove outside Wuxi City to participate in the meeting of the beggar gang, and asked the villain to pass the news when they left. ”
"I see!" Zhao Tiancheng didn't expect the beggar gang to hold a conference so soon, the day has indeed begun, maybe the two girls saw that Zhao Tiancheng didn't come back, so they could only go to assist Qiao Feng.
Taking out a piece of silver, Zhao Tiancheng handed it to the beggar in front of him and said, "You take it!"
The beggar actually bowed down and left, his eyes never looked at the silver in Zhao Tiancheng's hand Looking at the back of the beggar leaving, Zhao Tiancheng smiled and said: "Interesting!" It seems that the other party doesn't care about Zhao Tiancheng's contempt! It's just that he has to complete the things that others have to do anyway, otherwise he won't talk to Zhao Tiancheng.
However, although he admires this beggar a little, Zhao Tiancheng's senses for these people still have not changed, after all, this kind of person is still a minority, just a disciple of the beggar gang, if some disabled people become beggars, it is forgivable, but young people are still beggars, it is purely because of laziness.
"Brother Cheng, let's go to the apricot grove as soon as possible! Once the beggar gang's meeting starts, the people of Yipintang and the Murong family will go, and the two sisters may be in some danger. ”
The danger is not necessarily there, after all, Qiao Feng is also in the apricot forest, since Zhao Tiancheng has already married Qiao Feng, judging from Qiao Feng's temperament, even if he is injured, he will save the two daughters. It's just that Apricot Lin Zhao Tiancheng has to go, although he hates Murong Fu very much, but it takes the strength of Murong Fu and his father to deal with the sweeping monk.
