"How should I put it? It's a little different from what I imagined."
Zuo Zhou also saw the imperial capital for the first time. Although he once claimed that he came from a modern city and would not be surprised by the so-called "luxury big city" in ancient times, when he saw it, he still felt that it was a bit different from what he had imagined.
Same.
Apart from anything else, who would have thought that there would be large buildings over 300 meters tall in this imperial capital?
Note that these buildings are not towers, but serious palaces, and there is more than one!
In this era without tower cranes, excavators and other heavy machinery, what on earth is going on... Oh, yes, I guess the workers are pretty good at martial arts. Well, sure enough, the quality requirements for moving bricks have become higher these days.
He let out a long sigh, then forced himself to put on a face, turning his surprise into a country bumpkin look, just like A Xiang next to him.
Axiang: "Wow! That building is so tall!"
Zuo Zhou: "Wow! That palace is so big!"
Old man Zuo, look away. He should have drowned this kid to death!
Naturally, this is not the first time that Prince Consort Xiao has come back. Just looking at the familiar city wall, everything still seems like a dream. We... are back now?
Zuo Zhou looked at his unfaithful look and said happily: "I'm still thinking about Wei Jinzhong's problem. Although I don't know what happened, it's a good thing. Don't care whether there are any grandmasters under Wei Jinzhong's command.
The master, at least, means that he is too busy to take care of himself now and can't send any extra force to intercept us."
Xiao Prince Consort let out a long sigh, nodded, waved his hand and shouted with style: "Enter the city!"
The team did not move because there were people blocking the city gate, a large number of people.
The smile on Xiao Prince Consort's face gradually grew stronger, as if even the weather had become sunny. This group of people were obviously friendly forces, and Zuo Zhou could see Di Renjie at a glance anyway!
"hiss!"
Axiang looked at Zuo Zhou who suddenly gasped, and was a little confused, "This is obviously one of our own, why are you gasping randomly?"
Zuo Zhou scratched his cheek in embarrassment and whispered back: "I just remembered that I am actually under Di Renjie's command."
"..." Axiang punched her fist, "Yes, we are Di Renjie's people!"
It's true that he has been hanging out with Xiao Prince Consort for too long. Even when Zuo Zhou was running around alone, all he thought and thought was that he was from the Jiannan Army. After all, Zuo Zhou's identity as a Jiannan Army member was
A soldier of the Southern Army, he really didn't agree with Li Yuanfang's identity.
Of course, more importantly, Di Renjie asked him to use Li Yuanfang's method to contact the Turks' Jili Khan, but now the Turks have been defeated by Yang Wenguang. How can he reason with this? So the question is, Zuo Zhou's mission is considered
Success?
"Prince-in-law, we have been waiting for you and this glass of wine for a long time!"
Just when Zuo Zhou was worrying about gains and losses, a middle-aged man stood out from the crowd, wearing an official robe with black background and red stripes. His eyebrows were elegant and elegant, and his eyes were like stars. One glance at him would tell you that he must be a handsome man.
Zuo Zhou had limited knowledge of Da Qin's official robes. He could only distinguish them by color. Judging from the levels of black, gold, and red, this gentleman is probably below one person. And there are not many people of this level.
, and someone who is elegant, there is only...
"Master Xiangguo, Master Bao, Master Di, and colleagues, Xiao Heng is lucky enough to come back to drink this glass of wine, thanks to everyone's hard work. I apologize for Xiao's inconvenience and cannot thank you!"
"Hahahahaha!"
A group of people gathered around me, noisy and solemn. They were like a group of old classmates who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Zuo Zhou wisely took a few steps back to give up his position. At this time, there was no need to protect him. He really didn't believe that someone could assassinate him at this time. That would be really shocking. If Li Si and Bao Zheng were allowed to do so,
, Di Renjie and a bunch of officials, big and small, whose backgrounds are unknown, are targeting you, let alone the Qinglong Society, even the Kowloon Society has to stretch your hips.
"Master Li, I have long admired your name."
At this time, the hierarchy of the circle was very obvious. Prince Consort Xiao and the others stopped by to ask for help, and naturally there were people from Zuo Zhou's side.
This is a tall and straight young man dressed in a red official suit. He has a sword-like eyebrow and starry eyes. He is holding a sword with embossed black patterns in his hand. From the scabbard to the hilt, it is exquisite and simple. The sword grid is hollow. Look.
It looks low-key, luxurious and connotative.
He cupped his hands and bowed slightly in an extremely standard etiquette, which was the etiquette for meetings between officials. Fortunately, Zuo Zhou had studied hard for a while in order to pretend to be Li Yuanfang, otherwise the secret would have been revealed just this time.
Well, the other party was too serious, which put him under a bit of pressure, "I wonder if you are..."
"Zhan Zhao and Zhan Xiongfei are under the command of Master Bao Zheng..."
"Brother! I miss you so much!" Before she could finish her words, Zhan Hongling rushed towards her, but Zhan Zhao seemed to have been prepared for it. He stepped aside as soon as he made a mistake in his steps, and smiled at Li Yuanfang with his fists clasped in his hands.
He said: "My sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of me these days. Zhan will bear it in my heart."
This time, Jianghu etiquette was used, which made Zuo Zhou breathe a sigh of relief unconsciously, but since Zhan Zhao has arrived, Bao Zheng should also have arrived. I just heard that Xiao Consort also mentioned Mr. Bao, so... why not?
Where's the black guy with the crescent moon on his forehead?
"Brother, what are you talking about? Your sister still needs someone else to take care of her?" Zhan Hongling glanced at Zuo Zhou disdainfully, then stretched out her hand to pull Zhan Shiqi over. There were also a group of sisters who also stood there knowingly.
After arriving at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao obviously wanted to know more about the general situation, so he smiled at Zuo Zhou and said: "My sister-in-law is naughty, I think it must have made brother Yuanfang worry about it."
Zuo Zhou cupped his fists and returned the greeting, "Brother Zhan, you're too polite. In fact, it would be more interesting to have someone with your sister's personality on the road."
Zhan Hongling was angry. If it had been before, she would have thrust her chest out towards Zuo Zhou, but this time she just got a glance from Zhan Zhao and behaved like a cat.
Zuo Zhou smiled and pointed at the group of officials, "I have long heard of Bao Zheng's reputation as Master Bao. I wonder which one is Master Bao?"
When Zhan Zhao heard someone praising Bao Zheng for being very proud, he stretched out his hand to someone who was chatting and laughing with Prince Consort Xiao, "That's Mr. Bao."
Zuo Zhou's smile suddenly became stiff. What the hell is this Mr. Bao? Are you telling me that this is Mr. Bao? Although he is a bit darker than Xiao Consort, but that is the level of Heigu, and there are also dark spots on his head.
There is no crescent moon, this... this master has no soul!
Zuo Zhou quickly concealed his embarrassment, but he was screaming in his heart that his identity as an exile seemed to be exposed!
Although Zuo Zhou did not have an in-depth understanding of the Earth next door in 3333, logically speaking, in addition to serious history books, many literary works should have been handed down.
Not to mention anything else, first of all, there will definitely be the four great classics, and then there will be some classic classics that have passed the test of time, such as "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", which is very likely.
As far as Zuo Zhou knows, Zhan Zhao is a character in the classic novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses" written during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. This work is regarded as the originator of Chinese martial arts novels. It was widely circulated even in Zuo Zhou's time.
, and this kind of masterpiece with a unique status in history will definitely become the darling of the film and television industry, and there will never be a shortage of various adaptations and remakes.
As we all know, once a character in a famous book overlaps with a real person in history, people will subconsciously overwrite the real image with the legendary image in their minds.
Speaking of Bao Zheng, Zuo Zhou and many other exiles' first impressions were of Bao Heizi, a man with a crescent moon on his head who was a god in solving crimes. But in fact, no one had ever seen the real Bao Zheng in history.
Therefore, anyone who mentions Bao Zhenghei with a crescent on his forehead is ninety-nine times an exile. And he seems to have mentioned Bao Zhenghei in front of Xiao Consort. With Xiao Consort’s caution, is he?
Already exposed?
No, no, it seems to be just one time, so it shouldn’t happen. If asked, I would just say that I support what other exiles say!
Zuo Zhou was still deceiving himself, but he had finished reminiscing over the past.
Li Si personally pushed the wheelchair into the city, "Your Majesty and the princess are still waiting for you, let's go to the palace first, and we can talk about old things later."
Prince Consort Xiao nodded, turned around and said to Mr. Ximen: "You go to the princess's mansion and wait for me. I believe the princess has prepared a place for you."
Mr. Ximen nodded, and Bao Zheng also smiled at Zhan Zhao and said, "Guard Zhan, please take them back as well. I will listen to your report on your duties when I return."
"Yes, sir."
Zhan Zhao waved his hand, and Zhan Hongling followed with a group of sisters. Naturally, Zhan Shiqi was no exception. Seeing the way he turned back three times with every step, Zuo Zhou was stunned. Only then did he wake up, good guy, this
Do we want everyone to return to their respective roles and find their own rhythm?
Zhan Shiqi was naturally a subordinate of Bao Zheng, and Young Master Ximen was undoubtedly a direct descendant of Prince Consort Xiao, so he took Dugu Wei, Fengyun Shuang Mingyue, etc. and left with the female officials of the Princess Mansion... and took away
A Xiang!
"This is a bit much!"
"That's too much. Just wait for him to bring someone to propose marriage. Before that, stop coveting his girl's body." Zuo old man slapped Zuo Zhou on the back of his head.
Zuo Zhou felt aggrieved, "You may not believe it, but this girl has always taken the initiative. Look at her reluctance to let go!"
The old man Zuo curled his lips, "If you really can't bear it, just follow me. Will the Princess Mansion be without your place to live?"
Zuo Zhou hesitated. Now was the time to take sides. With what he had done, there was no problem in joining Prince Consort Xiao. This was indeed a good choice. Alas, the benefits could not be described in just one or two sentences.
It's just...if he hadn't remembered what happened before, he would have followed Xiao's consort. But now, thinking about the attitudes of senior officials in various countries towards exiles, Zuo Zhou finally chose Di Renjie.
He brought Old Man Zuo and Shuang'er to Yuchi Zhenjin and said, "Sir Yuchi, please take good care of me in the future."
