Chapter Seventy-Three: Upper Luoping City

In the fourth year of Tang Jinglong, the Empress Yuanming of Fuso moved the capital of Fuso to Heijokyo, and began the Nara period of Fuso. Influenced by the mapping and influence of the Tang Dynasty culture, the entire architectural style and appearance of Pingchengjing were built in imitation of Chang'an and Luoyang of the Tang Dynasty. It is in Fuso, and when you go to the capital, it is called Shangluo. Similarly, at this time, Fusang, like the Tang Dynasty, was in the midst of singing and dancing, prosperity and prosperity.

As the capital of the entire Fuso, Heijojing is also the center of politics, economy and culture, and it is also the city with the closest exchanges with China and Turkey.

"Where is Heijo Kyo, and what are we going to do there?" asked Ah Niu puzzled as he walked. In the three months he spent at the Wangtang Hotel, although he knew that Sui Feng might have martial arts, he had seen Sui Feng's several shots with his own eyes, all of which were like flowing water in his peers, knocking down all his opponents in a few hurried moves, and he had never seen the speed of his movements. It is precisely because of this that he now focuses on the wind in everything he does.

Sui Feng suddenly stopped halfway through, looked at Ah Niu deeply, and then suddenly started again and continued to walk forward. "Pingchengjing is the capital of Fusang, which is equivalent to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. Haven't you always wanted to enter the great family, it just so happens that I have a friend who is from the Fusang Guan Bai family, maybe you can introduce it. ”

"Really?" Ah Niu was full of surprises, he had enough of the life at the bottom, and he dreamed of a life where the big family would not have to worry about food and clothing.

Sui Feng frowned, didn't say much, and continued on his way. After saying that, he unconsciously thought of the girl who would have two dimples when he laughed and sweetly called out to him with the eldest brother. When he thought of her, he sighed in his heart, he didn't say goodbye at that time, and he was looking for her at this time, and he felt a little undeserved.

Going to Heijokyo to find the Fujiwara family where Shizuru is located is not more for personal affection. Since the artifacts recorded on the sheepskin scroll left by Xu Fu before his ascension to the immortal are likely to be the three artifacts of the legendary Fusang - Tiancong Cloud Sword, Eight-Foot Mirror, and Eight-Foot Qiong Hook Jade, and it is rumored that the three artifacts are all handed down by the previous emperor, then the Fujiwara family, who is Fuso Guanbai, must have much richer insider information than the folk. The probability of finding clues will also be much higher.

Moreover, since Fujiwara is a member of the Sekihaku family, its financial and political status is not comparable to that of other families. After all, he is from Middle-earth, and his visit to Fuso this time is just a coincidence, and he will return to Middle-earth after all. Middle-earth and Fusang are said to be a strip of water, but the ocean in between them is not so easy to cross. There are only a few families that have the ability to cross the sea in Fuso, and naturally the Fujiwara family is the most haode choice.

Along the way, Sui Feng seemed to be pondering something, but Ah Niu kept fantasizing about what kind of glorious life he would have after waiting for the Fujiwara family. The two of them had their own thoughts, so they walked like this, without speaking all the way.

Fusang is not big, and Pingchengjing is not far from Dongmulou, but it is only a few days' foot. As soon as they heard that the two were from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Yujian's people treated each other with courtesy in addition to respect. I went all the way through it, but I didn't encounter any obstacles.

Within a few days, the two arrived in front of Pingcheng Jing. Pingcheng Jing was originally built in imitation of Chang'an in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with a length of 12 miles from east to west and 8 miles from north to south. Although the size is not as grand as the authentic Chang'an City, it is much smaller than Jinling, but the walls of this city tower, as well as the various buildings and houses in the city, are not much inferior to Chang'an, but like a pocket version.

When had Ah Niu ever seen such a majestic city? Immediately stunned, his mouth looked like the size of a goose egg, and his eyes were full of light, and he looked like a hillbilly who had never seen the world. ...,

Standing beside him, Sui Feng was also very embarrassed, coughed lightly, and carefully pulled Ah Niu. Without looking at him, he walked towards the gate.

Pingchengjing is such a major city, it is impossible not to guard the city, although it is not like the real Chang'an a few thresholds, but the inventory is also very careful, if the average person does not have a hand order, it is not allowed to pass. When they arrived at the city gate, Ah Niu was still worried, how could they enter this heavily guarded city without any identification?

As a result, to his dumbfounding, Sui Feng simply said a few words to the city guard, and then obediently let him go.

"Brother Sui, what did you tell the city guard, why did you let us in so easily?" As soon as he entered Pingchengjing, Ah Niu kept asking this question around Suifeng.

Sui Feng pretended to smile deeply and said: "This is not simple, I directly said that we are from the Eastern Soil Datang." He was invited by the second head of the Fujiwara family to be a guest, and then reported his name, how can it not be believed. The most offended by the officers and soldiers who defended the city were these dignitaries and nobles, if they offended the Fujiwara family because of this little thing, he would be afraid that it would be difficult for him to mix up in the future, and they would not even have this experience after being in office for so long. Besides, even if you really invite people from the Fujiwara family, I'm not afraid, I already had a relationship with their two masters. ”

Sui Feng said so much, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Ah Niu's echo and voice, and when he turned his head, Ah Niu's eyes were dull, and he was completely attracted by what he saw in front of him, where could he hear what Sui Feng was saying?

Sui Feng only smiled and looked around. Ouchi and Heijo Palace are located in the center of the north side, Suzaku Avenue divides the capital into two sides from north to south, the east side is called Zuojing, the west side is called Youjing, and there are several east-west and north-south roads that divide the city into 84 squares, each square has 16 pings, of which Heijo Palace occupies four squares, and temples, east and west markets, and mausoleums occupy about 10 squares. They are located at the moment in the most prosperous Youjing 56th Place.

The whole area is full of shops, miscellaneous goods, and all kinds of things that can only be found in Fuso, such as clog shops, sushi stands, and so on, and not only that, but also many cultural customs of Middle-earth can be clearly seen here. For example, along the way, they saw many people dressed as monks dressed as Fusang, and there were also many stalls similar to Taoist gossip calculations on the roadside. The most surprising thing is that they even saw the Confucian academy here, which also taught articles such as the Four Books and the Five Classics. Even Sui Feng felt a little novel, let alone a cow.

After asking someone with the wind, I found out that the Fujiwara family was in the middle of the forty-three squares, and there were more than a dozen squares separated from here, which was not too far. They weren't in a hurry, so since they came, they naturally had to take a good stroll.

They lost track of time, and by the time they arrived at the Fujiwara family's door, it was already early and it was time for dinner.

"This is a big family, even the subordinates are wearing jade silks, but it's different. Looking at the solemn and wide gate in front of him, Ah Niu sighed with emotion.

Looking up with the wind, there are two white marble stone lions at the door, and several red giant pillars support the roof full of gilt gold tiles, which looks extremely magnificent. The whole architectural system is the same as that of the Tang Dynasty in Middle Earth, and it is simply the same as if it was moved. In front of the door stood two samurai dressed in brocade robes, with long knives at their waists, very powerful.

Suifeng stepped forward, folded the fan between his hands, hugged his fist at the warrior, and said: "Under Suifeng, this is Dua Niu, who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty with me, and wants to meet your second uncle, and I hope Your Excellency will report it." ”

The brocade-clothed warrior was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at Sui Feng and Ah Niu, the two of them were still the standard Tang Dynasty dress when they came before, although Fusang's clothing style was fully approaching the Tang Dynasty, but there were still big differences in many subtleties. And speaking with the wind and grace is not something that ordinary people can have. ...,

The two samurai glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and then bowed their hands to Suifeng: "Your Excellency has come from afar, since you know my second uncle, you must also be a friend of my Fujiwara family, please go and report later." ”

This Fujiwara family is a rare big family, and the samurai guarding it are all extremely cultivated people. It was natural to say something, and it was not despised by the two of them because they were young. After speaking, he hurriedly walked in to report.

"Did you say that the second head of the Fujiwara family will meet us?" Ah Niu watched the samurai enter, but he was still a little weak, and asked in a low voice in Chinese.

Sui Feng smiled slightly, and replied: "Since Mr. Boji is the second leader of the Fujiwara family, he must not be easy to meet people, if he is not mistaken, he should send someone who can take care of things a little bit to come out to meet us." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh, and Ah Niu's eyes kept staring at the slightly open door and looking in. Two heavy vermilion wooden doors are half-covered, revealing a point of the scenery inside, the first thing you see is a carved stone wall, generally large families will have such a stone wall facing the door, on the one hand, it is beautiful, on the other hand, it is also to cover the sight, so that ordinary people can see the inner hall.

In fact, the wooden door is not very open, except for the stone wall, you can't see anything, but Ah Niu is still happy to do it, obviously after a while, he can go in and see what is going on, but he still can't control his gaze.

Maybe people are like that, they always like things that can't be easily obtained, even this line of scenery. It's just that how many people can understand this seemingly simple truth?

Sui Feng looked at Ah Niu's funny appearance that he wanted to see but still wanted to hide, and couldn't help but want to laugh, the door squeaked and opened completely, and a teenager walked out of it.

Although the young man is not very tall, he is very imposing, and his fair face adds a touch of handsomeness. Two flickering big eyes, holding a folding fan in his hand like the wind, and a snow-white gown, very elegant. With a square crown on his head, he is simply a beautiful boy.

The young man looked up, looked down with the wind, and the two looked at each other.

Sui Feng and he both trembled slightly, so familiar eyes, as if they had seen it somewhere.

And the young man's reaction was even more exaggerated, he took half a step back, gasped, hurriedly took away the hand covering his mouth, and said crisply: "You are the eldest brother of Middle-earth?"

Hearing this voice, Sui Feng trembled even more, "Are you ......?"

Although the voice is not like it, it evokes many of his already faint memories, that day, on Mount Tai, those days, during the journey.

Before Suifeng woke up from his memories, he heard the young man hugging his fist at him and said, "In Shimotowara Yasuliu, I have seen Brother Sui." ”
