Dali has a long history, the area is vast, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the four seasons are like spring, the foot of Cangshan Mountain, the shore of Erhai Lake, the combination of pearls, the ancient country of Nanzhao, the resort of Buddhism, the wind and snow, it is a rare treasure land. There are Han people living in China, as well as more than a dozen ethnic groups such as Bai, Yi, Hui, Susu, Naxi, and Wuyi.

Dali City is densely populated, the street is paved with bluestone, and the city is prosperous.

Two girls, one older and one young, walked briskly on the street, stopping and stopping all the way, stopping and watching in front of the stalls on both sides of the long street from time to time, and then turning to the next stall.

Behind them was a handsome young man, dressed in a black robe, carrying a black sheath sword behind his back, holding a tall black horse in his left hand, looking at the second daughter in front of him, flashing a trace of tenderness.

These three people are like immortals, attracting the attention of pedestrians on the street, some are amazed by the beauty of the two girls, and some are impressed by the extraordinary temperament of the black-robed young man.

From time to time, some young girls secretly looked at the black-robed young man, their eyes were ashamed, but when they saw the two stunning beauties beside him, their eyes dimmed again.

These three people are Dugu Duan, Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, originally Dugu Duan wanted to go directly to the Dali Palace, but when he went to Dali City, Mu Wanqing was very interested in everything in the city, she had never been to Dali City, Dugu Duan felt pity in his heart, so he got off the horse and played with the second daughter.

Dugu took the black rose and looked around, admiring in his heart, Duan Zhengming also has some ability, this Dali City is full of people coming and going, and the river is endless, it can be said that the four seas are peaceful, and the country is peaceful and peaceful.

"Brother Duan, let's go to dinner!" Zhong Ling interrupted Dugu Duan's contemplation and said with a grin.

"Good!"

Dugu Duan raised his head. Seeing a restaurant in front of him, he smiled and nodded. There is no doubt about it.

The three of them walked away from the restaurant and found an empty table to sit down. I asked for some special dishes of Dali, and I will get up after eating.

A few people at the table on the side were sitting and drinking, and one of the scholars, dressed as a scholar, suddenly spoke: "Do you know? Your Majesty has decreed that the salt tax is exempted!"

Several other people were suddenly moved, and a big man exclaimed, "Is this true?"

Everyone is so excited, but because Yunnan does not produce much salt, Tongguo only Baijing, Heijing, Yunlong and other nine wells produce salt, every year to buy salt from Shuzhong, the salt tax is very heavy, the remote poor often have a few months of light food in a year. Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming's move can be described as benefiting the country and the people. All the people of Dali are grateful.

"Of course it's true, my uncle is Mr. Ba Sikong's bookkeeper, this news was said by Ba Sikong himself, I believe that in a few days, His Majesty will announce it to the public!"

Several of the drinkers were excited, and one of the red-faced men sighed and said, "Our Majesty Duan is really a good emperor, but it's a pity why there is no queen!" After that, he picked up a glass of wine and was about to pour it into his mouth.

"Lao Wang. You're drunk!"

The faces of the other people changed, and they hurriedly stopped the red-faced man.

The scholar shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has already established the King of Zhennan as the emperor's younger brother, and Prince Duan is aware of the people's feelings, and I believe that he will also be a Ming monarch in the future!"

Then several people helped the drunk Wang. Leave in a hurry.

Dugu broke his hand for eating, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he looked up at the second daughter. smiled: "You're going to be a princess!"

"Humph!"

Mu Wan snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on her face.

"Brother Broken. I, I don't want to be a princess. I, I want to ......"

Zhong Ling swallowed, and her delicate little face flushed with shame.

"What do you want?" Dugu said jokingly.

"People want to follow you!" Zhong Ling said shyly.

Syllable!

Mu Wanqing put down her chopsticks and said coldly, "I'm full!"

Dugu smiled evilly, put down a piece of silver, and asked the location of the Ming Palace like a shopkeeper, then took Zhong Ling's soft little hand and walked out of the restaurant.

When I went out, I saw Mu Wanqing standing next to Black Rose with her head down, looking stunned, not knowing what to think.

"Gone!"

Dugu Duan grinned, and without waiting for Mu Wanqing to react, he hugged her on the horse, and then pulled Zhong Ling onto the horse, and with a soft snort, the black rose churned in all four hooves, running like the Dali Palace.

Dali Imperial Palace is located in the south of Dali City, magnificent, rich and gorgeous. Dugu broke the horse and galloped wildly, passed a few streets, a straight stone road in front of him, at the end of the road stood countless yellow tile palaces, the sunset shone on the glazed tiles, golden and brilliant, dazzling.

Two guards with spears stood on both sides of the palace gate, at this time it was almost dusk, the two guards suddenly found a black horse running in the distance, fast as lightning, before they could see the comer, the black horse crossed the archway that had to be dismounted, and ran to the front.

The two guards were taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward with their guns, and shouted: "Stop coming, the palace is heavy, no trespassing!"

"Phew!"

Dugu grabbed the black rose, looked up and saw the plaque on the palace gate with the three golden words 'Shengci Palace', turned over and dismounted, and asked with a smile: "Is Duan Zhengming here?"

The two guards were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted that Duan Zhengming in the mouth of this black-robed young man was the current emperor.

The guards were shocked, this person dared to call His Majesty's name, where did this madman come from, and immediately shouted: "Daring, who are you?"

Dugu frowned, and said helplessly: "Do you know, I hate the word bold the most, no matter where I go, but whenever I call the name of someone with status, I will say that I am bold, I don't understand, since his name can't be called, then what is he still naming for, it's better to be born and be called 'Your Majesty'!"

Poof!

Zhong Ling covered his mouth and smiled, and the corners of Mu Wanqing's mouth also showed a hint of a smile, and she couldn't help laughing.

"You!"

The guards looked at Dugu Duan in a daze, and their eyes showed shock.

Obviously, they can't understand the idea of Dugu Duan, their servility has been deeply rooted, or in ancient times when the imperial power was supreme, Dugu Duduan's thinking was no less than rebellion.

"Why am I talking to you about this, you don't understand!"

Dugu shook his head and smiled, and then smiled at the second daughter on the horse: "Ling'er, Sister Wan, cover your ears!"

Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing were stunned for a moment, seeing Dugu's serious gaze, Zhong Ling obediently covered his ears, and Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment and also covered his ears.

Dugu Duan smiled evilly, luckily dantian, and roared: "Dugu is here, Duan Zhengming comes out!"

His roar, piercing the clouds and cracking stones, echoed in the sky above the entire Dali Palace, and the two guards were already bleeding from their ears, and fell to the ground softly, their eyes revealing a look of horror.

At this time, Zheng Ming was resting in the palace, and when he heard this roar, he was shocked, and hurriedly called the guards, cleaned up, and was about to leave the palace, when he saw Duan Yu looking for him.

He didn't want Duan Yu to come out, but Duan Yu didn't agree, Duan Zhengming didn't have time to waste here with his nephew, so he asked Duan Yu to follow behind him and told him not to talk nonsense.

But he knew his nephew's character, and he was afraid that he would anger Dugu and end badly. (To be continued......)
