The sky was bright, and the Chang'an City Gate, which had just been closed all night, rumbled open, and more than a dozen Great Sui soldiers trotted out of the city gate hole in high spirits, lined up in two compartments.

Villagers and travelers, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, stood in a bustling line and walked forward, being inspected in turn. The cries of pigs and sheep, the cries of children, the shouts of women to their husbands, and the shouts of the coachmen...... Mixed into a pot of boiling hot porridge, it brings a busy vitality to the quiet ancient city of Chang'an.

This day was the twenty-third day of the Tang Dynasty Duke Li Yuan's army into Beijing, and after the initial panic and excitement, Chang'an City was gradually getting on the right track.

Li Tang's army, which entered the city, was originally prepared for the worst, but who knew that the receiving process was extremely smooth. Not only did most of the powerful and gentry in Chang'an City extend their warmest and most sincere welcome to Li Yuan's arrival, but the people in the city also burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm and energy.

It's been almost three years, and Chang'an, which was once the capital of the Great Sui Emperor, has almost become a child raised by no one and no one asks about the stepmother, evil ghosts and demons are rampant, thieves and bandits are rampant, not to mention that serious girls who are in the middle of the day at night dare not go out of the house.

In the past, the bustling shops and markets closed one after another, and the big families in the city also rushed to flee with their families, and the whole was depressed and deserted, and even sparrows did not bother to fly into the city to find food.

Now it's okay, not only Tang Guogong Li Yuan is here, but also with more than 100,000 majestic soldiers with strict military discipline. Within a few days of entering the city, the law and order in Chang'an City immediately improved, and then several outlaws who killed people and did many evils were executed, which was really happy.

The hearts of the common people were suddenly settled - the emperor forgot about us, and the court didn't care about us, but Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, still thought about us! He is our great savior, and he is the golden sun of Chang'an City!

Very happy Fuqu Fang came out of the cheerful ballad, sung in the unique Qin dialect of the people of the capital, it really has a unique charm.

followed by the secret spread among the neighbors in the market that could not be said: "Eighteen sons win the world".

It is said that after someone heard about this secret, he found five girls who had sex with him and fought all night, saying that he would make up enough for the family to make eighteen boys.

The wealthy merchants, powerful and celebrities who fled in the previous two years gradually returned to their homeland, and every day they could see convoys carrying heavy luggage from the official roads outside Chang'an City.

Therefore, the sergeants who have been guarding the city gate for several days seem to be extremely busy, they are all veterans who followed Tang Guogong from Taiyuan Mansion to Beijing, and now they have taken on the sacred duty of defending the first gate of the Great Sui Imperial Capital.

Suddenly, in the crowd waiting in line to enter the city, I don't know who made a fuss and shouted: "Look, toad pulling the cart!"

Hearing this, the big guy hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of the man's finger, and even the sergeant defending the city couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look north curiously.

A big car slowly drove on the official road in the distance, the frame was like a flat and narrow large wooden box, mottled and colorful, I don't know what was painted.

At the front of the carriage sat a young man lazily, driving the car with a long whip in his hand.

A blood-red toad with a glittering demonic light landed on all fours and pulled the cart forward, and the speed was actually faster than the carriages on both sides.

In a few moments, the strange cart came to the gates of the city. Everyone swarmed around, curiously looking at the toad pulling the cart, and chattering in amazement. A few bold young men could not resist the instigation of their companions, and secretly reached out and touched the toad's bare head.

Before his hand touched the toad, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole, shivering with cold, and hurriedly retreated in surprise and surprise, shouting: "Fucking weird, so cold!"

The young man sitting in the big car smiled and looked at the crowd of onlookers and said: "Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, everyone can touch it with confidence, it is absolutely toxic and harmless." If anyone wants to try it, come to me and sign up for the fee. Ten taels of silver to touch it, twenty taels of silver to touch three times, the price is fair, and there is no deception. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at the toad, looking at the young man, and all felt that this was a business wizard buried in the people.

The toad didn't comprehend the enthusiasm of the crowd, and it croaked at the crowd with a fierce look, really worried that some guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead would really hand over ten taels of silver to touch himself. It's no wonder that young people don't understand, if you only touch your head, it's just that, if you don't touch the place, how can you still have a face in the future?

It had tried to resist bravely to fight for the rights that should have belonged to it, but the result was that it could barely even make a toad, and was thrown into a pan of oil with no known spice and fried for a whole day and night, and when it was fished out, it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was covered with golden armor.

It sadly realized that it did not blame itself for its incompetence, but only for its own bad life, and the young man gently and skillfully turned his thoughts, as if he had been on a clockwork, he had crossed the sea of fire through the sword mountain, and he had to move forward with a big tripod and a big stone.

Therefore, for all kinds of abuse and persecution inflicted on young people on themselves, Xiao Taohong has long understood the truth of bearing humiliation, but this does not prevent it from spreading a bad breath on those who join in the fun.

When everyone saw this blood-red and bewitching toad open its bloody mouth and suddenly reveal its fierce appearance, dripping a sticky puddle of fishy and unpleasant things from its long tongue, they were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, exclaiming: "This toad is poisonous, you can't touch it!"

But there are always people who are not afraid of death, and they are a beautiful woman in red who is charming in her cardamom years.

She jumped out of an ornately decorated carriage, approached the young man, and said, "May I try it?"

The young man stared at the plump and charming body of the beautiful woman in red, and only moved his buttocks and said happily: "Of course, I'll give you a discount." ”

The red-clothed beauty glanced at the young man and said with a smile: "So, if I kiss it, it's okay." ”

People were struck by lightning in an instant, and their eyes were full of golden light and peach blossoms.

The young man couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't know how the brain-dead parents of this beautiful woman in red had cultivated such a toad control, and nodded and said, "You really like it?

The beautiful woman in red smiled, walked up to the toad and gently stroked its head, and said softly: "Okay, let my sister kiss you, okay?"

After speaking, the beauty in red really lowered her head and kissed Xiao Taohong gently without hesitation.

There was a commotion in the crowd, some were surprised and novel, some were envious and jealous, and some hated that even Brother Toad was more popular than himself......

The beautiful woman in red smiled like a flower, raised her body as if no one was around, touched the little peach again, and said: "In the future, you must rinse your mouth with green salt every day, otherwise my sister will not like it." ”

The young man didn't expect the beauty in red to really kiss Xiao Taohong, and said with envy: "I almost forgot to introduce myself, in Xia Diao Xiaosi, I will temporarily live in Wenxianglou these days, sister, you can find it with a little inquiry." ”

"What am I looking for you?"

"If my sister likes it, I can let Xiao Taohong play with her, eat and sleep together, and guarantee that I don't take a penny for free escorts. ”

The beautiful woman in red giggled and said, "Besides, I'm going to enter the city." ”

"But I still don't know which fairy sister fell in love with Little Peach and took away someone's first kiss?"

"If you tell me who I am, I'm afraid you'll regret it. ”

"But I'd rather regret knowing my sister than be sad because I missed you. ”

The beautiful woman in red walked to her carriage with a smile and replied: "I am Wang Yuyan, the daughter of Wang Shichong, the Duke of Zheng Guo, and the Liuyuan that you blocked the door from entering a few days ago is my sister's home in Chang'an City. ”

The young man was stunned, looking at the graceful figure of the beautiful woman in red, and suddenly moaned: "Mother, forgive me!"

The beautiful woman in red lifted the curtain and sat in the carriage, turned around and smiled coquettishly: "What, you regret it now?"

Diao Xiaosi immediately made a decisive and generous confession: "How can you be my eldest brother Wang's daughter, and how can I fall in love with my little niece at first sight?

The beautiful woman in red sat in the car and looked at Diao Xiaosi's distressed appearance, and was speechless for a long time.

After such a commotion at the city gate, it was already dark when Diao Xiaosi entered the city. Wang Yuyan said that he didn't want to let him send her home, so he left Diao Xiaosi in the middle of the road and didn't know where he slipped away, and at this time, the pedestrians, cars and horses on the road gradually increased.

Many small vendors have set up simple stalls on the streets, some making hu cakes, some selling dough, some baking sweet potatoes, and some steaming buns...... The smell of the air was filled with the sound of shouting and selling.

Diao Xiaosi jumped out of the car, ignoring the strange eyes around him, and sat down in front of a wonton stall, shouting, "Boss, bring me two big bowls of shepherd's cabbage filling!"

Not long after, the proprietress brought two bowls of steaming big stuffed wontons to the table. Diao Xiaosi gave the money, glanced at the diners next to him who were eating and sweating like rain, and said with a smile: "Boss, your business is really good." ”

The proprietress smiled and said, "The first two years were not successful, and it has slowly gotten better in the past few days." Thanks to Grandpa Li who led the troops into Chang'an City and set twelve rules, so that our people have a way to live. ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned and said, "Li Yuan entered Chang'an, when?"

The proprietress glanced at Diao Xiaosi in surprise, as if she blamed him for not having any respect or affection for Li Yuan calling him by his name, but she still replied: "Grandpa Li has been in Beijing for more than 20 days. I remember that night when it was snowing, my baby and I were sleeping soundly on the kang, when we suddenly heard a thunderous sound, which scared several prisoners and cried. When I went out to inquire at dawn, I realized that it was Grandpa Li who came to Chang'an with 100,000 heavenly soldiers to subdue demons and subdue demons to save our people. ”

Diao Xiaosi then understood, looking at the proprietress who was wearing a tattered coarse cotton jacket, her hands were red and swollen and covered with frostbite, but her face was free and showing a happy smile, and suddenly felt that it was a very simple thing to dare to be happy and satisfied.
