"Kang'er, hurry up and get in the sedan. The sun is shining brightly, so be careful of the heat!"
Wanyan Kang got on the sedan chair.
Mrs. Bao tidied his slightly messy clothes and brushed away a few stray strands of hair from his forehead.
He also gently shook the fan to fan him away from the heat.
"Mom knows that you have been holding back for several days in the house and can't bear your temper. But when you couldn't get sick before, my mother went to the Buddha and made a wish. Fortunately, my son recovered as before. This time, I went with my mother to Anguo Temple to make my wish.
Return it, so that the Buddha won't blame you... Don't be naughty on the road, and when you get back, I will ask the prince to bring you the Dawan horse as a gift."
Wanyan Kang nodded honestly.
Since time travel, he has always been unconsciously well-behaved in front of this strange mother. He probably remembered his mother who had cancer in his previous life, and kept it secret for fear of affecting his studies. When he came back excitedly with the admission notice from the National University of Defense Technology,
When I got home, I saw my dearest relative who was already dying...
In this life, even though I have known her for only three days, she is still my mother in this body, so I should live a filial life.
Just as he was thinking about his thoughts, he saw Mrs. Bao lowering the thin curtain, lifting the side curtains, and said to the outside: "Cui'er, let's go."
"Yes, Princess."
The maid in blue named Cui'er then shouted crisply: "Get up the sedan!"
Everyone took the order, and the eight healthy servants in front and behind the sedan bent down to lift up the red cloth sedan, while the rest of the military servants lined up in an orderly queue and turned around to go out.
Just as the team was on the road, a group of elite soldiers came from West Street with the roar of horse hooves.
The armored officer at the head of the group drove the horse in front of the sedan, dismounted and saluted: "I heard that the princess and the young prince were going to Anguo Temple to worship Buddha. The prince sent a message from the court. There are many refugees outside the city these days, and the order is very chaotic.
I will lead a team of troops to escort you."
Immediately, Bao's voice came from inside the curtain: "Then there is General Lao Chixi!"
"I don't dare, so please ask the princess and the young prince to wait for me to form a team!"
Hearing the chaotic sound of horse hooves and footsteps coming from outside the sedan, Wanyan Kangren couldn't see clearly inside the sedan, so he stuck his head out and looked openly, and saw a group of cavalry in armor and dozens of people.
The infantrymen in leather armor were re-arranging in front, back, left and right along the marching team.
The cavalry are like wolves and tigers, holding maces in their hands, while the infantry all carry steel swords on their waists and carry a round shield behind them.
Tough and cool, definitely the elite of the army!
Wanyan Kang was directly assigned to the Joint Logistics Department of the Western Theater Command after graduating from the military academy. He was usually well-informed. When he saw this, he raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself: "Why don't you just go to the temple outside the city? It's such a big mistake.
In the formation battle, even the regular army was dispatched?"
No wonder he was confused. For example, in the previous life, during non-war periods, it would be too exaggerated to ask members of the British royal family to be escorted by the Royal Marines whenever they traveled.
unless……
The refugees outside the city that the general named Chi Xi mentioned just now are not ordinary refugees, but have developed to the level of chaos and even mobs.
But if the situation is so serious, how can the cheap dad who has never met and doesn’t know whether he is reliable or not, agree to let his mother and son take risks out of the city?
Could it be that he has great confidence in this army?
Wanyan Kang couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, it’s my first time here, and it’s my first time out of the house, so I’d better experience the customs and customs of this era. At least I’ll have enough food and clothing for the time being, and I also have a useless but exciting super power. Compared with those who don’t have golden fingers,
You still have to work hard from the bottom, and for the time-travel brothers who are busy inventing this invention and making money to make a living, they have already won at the starting line...
It didn't take long for the entire team to be sorted out.
The princess and the young prince were traveling. Chixi, as the leader of the royal guards and the leader of the imperial army, led the cavalry team to clear the way. Dozens of infantry were scattered among the ranks of military guards and servants.
In the meantime, the remaining ten cavalrymen followed behind the team.
For a time, the carriages and horses were sparkling and moving slowly towards the Tongxuan Gate in the north of the city.
Before leaving, Wan Yankang suddenly thought of something, raised the sedan curtain and looked back at the door of his house not far away.
The three golden characters on the plaque "Prince Zhao's Mansion" shone brightly in the bright sunlight. I couldn't help but frown, and my heart moved.
However, he only hesitated for a moment, and was soon attracted by the antique and prosperous scene around him.
Wanyan Kang had previously found out from the girl that the capital of the Jin Kingdom in Zhongdu, where he was now, was the most prosperous place in the world. Even if the old capital of the Zhou Dynasty in the south was opened and the new capital Jiang'an was opened, it was far behind.
The street is spacious, and the palace's carriages and horses are sparkling, but it only occupies a small half of the road and does not hinder the flow of pedestrians.
Among the crowds of pedestrians, you can even occasionally see people from the Western Regions with high noses and blue eyes. There are also small vendors pushing carts in the alleys or setting up stalls on the spot. Their high-pitched voices and ups and downs of hawking sounds are mostly secular fireworks.
There were many stalls parked along the road, and at first glance, there were four or five out of ten items placed on them, and he couldn't identify what they were.
Wan Yankang comes from a later generation, and is well-informed on the Internet, and has watched a lot of costume dramas. But walking in ancient times like this, the experience is completely different from watching dramas.
I simply lifted a corner of the curtain all the way and looked around outside.
The team kept moving forward, and huge high-counter shops and Zhugexiu buildings gradually appeared on both sides of the road. People of all kinds came in and out, walking back and forth on the street, rubbing shoulders and sweating profusely.
The air was filled with the smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of burning cow dung, and a strong and complex smell mixed with the sweaty body odor of a large number of pedestrians.
Wanyan Kang's nose twitched, it was so irritating.
"Brother Kang, Brother Kang!"
"Wanyan Kang, come here quickly!"
At this time, two loud voices suddenly sounded.
Wanyan Kang heard the sound and looked up.
On the viewing corridor on the second floor of the nearby restaurant, two young men in rich brocade clothes, one tall and one short, obviously from the aristocracy of the Jin Kingdom, were waving to him excitedly.
"At first glance, these two idiots look like playboys who make trouble out of nothing. They may even bully men and dominate women. I don't know that..."
Wanyan Kang felt contempt in his heart, but put on a fake smile on his face as if he were reunited with an old friend. He pointed at the two of them, where Bao was sleeping in the sedan chair, and then waved his hand, indicating that he had elders around him at the moment and was busy with business, so he could not
I came here to play around with you two, then I just put down the sedan curtain and ignored you.
He didn't have the memory of his previous life, so he had something in his mind. Even though the two dandies were yelling about "Princess and Princess" upstairs, they stopped looking around.
The team continued to move forward, and after turning another street, Wanyan Kang opened the sedan curtain again and admired the street view again.
Compared with the liveliness and bustling of the previous streets, there are more people here, the roads are wider, and there is an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts and donkey carts transporting goods around.
It's just that most of the people rushing in and out on both sides of the road are loading and unloading goods. There is a lot of horse dung, cow dung, and donkey dung on the street, and no one has cleaned it up. The difference between the before and after is probably the difference between Nanjing East Road in Shanghai and Yiwu Small Commodity Wholesale Market in the previous life.
.
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a woman wailing and some people making noisy noises. Wan Yankang looked around and saw a circle of various spectators gathered on the roadside not far ahead. He didn't know what they were looking at.
