Chapter 255 The prosperous Jinling City since ancient times
At the end of the day, Feng Yu simply said, "Let's talk about it, who knows how far away that day is? I can't live without knowing for a day."
"Everyone has his own choice. Now our Chu family can be considered the overlord in Youzhou. However, I still think Youzhou is too small."
After lunch, the three of them said goodbye to everyone. They just visited, and they couldn't solve their doubts. They had to go to Jinling, the center of the seven states in the south of the Yangtze River.
Chu Xiangtian spent a lot of money and bought a carriage as a gift to them to reduce the wear and tear on his legs and feet. He watched them leave at the door.
Qin Junyue was sitting in the carriage, sometimes leaning and sometimes wanting to lie down. The time she could sit peacefully was really pitiful.
"Wow, it's so comfortable to have no one to care about you! And you are accompanied by a beautiful woman. Is there anything better in the world?"
Jiang Xingwan has become accustomed to her teasing him a little from time to time, and doesn't take it seriously. He just closes his eyes and rests, letting her play around, and he has a good relationship with him.
"Brother, you and that Miss Chu family seem to have an extraordinary relationship. Look at the look in their eyes when I sent you out at noon. You're almost dripping with tears. Tsk, tsk, Aunt Yu always said that it's time for you to meet this girl.
, I see, you are really worrying too much, my brother is now a real romantic young man!"
Feng Yu was driving the carriage and looking at the road ahead, but couldn't help but go in and sit for a while, otherwise he must let her know who is the brother and who is the sister.
"Little girl, you should know what to say and what not to say when you return to the palace, humph, otherwise I won't take you out again in the future."
"I know, I'm stingy."
"It's getting dark, and I still haven't seen a place to stay. I'll find a roadside later, tie up the carriage, and stay in the wild for the night. There will be plenty of dry food and water."
"Ah, I live outside again."
"Otherwise, my aunt, travel lightly. We don't even have a tent. At least we have a carriage. You can be content."
The bonfire was particularly bright at night. Two women were sitting in front of the carriage. Feng Yu was lighting a fire under the tree. The surroundings were very quiet. Behind the gravel beach not far away was a river, running from west to east.
The bright moon is in the sky, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and even the chirping of birds has lost its vitality, and they have fled to the south for fear of the cold weather. In the winter forest, only the loneliness and coldness of winter are left, and some trees have become solitary, their hair
All gone.
Jiang Xingwan was holding fine snow in her hands and sitting on the cushion behind the butt of the car. This kind of scenery paired with such a woman is really unique.
"Sister Xingwan, don't tell me, this kind of nature may be just to accompany you."
"Is there any use in praising me? It's better to think about what to do. Don't tell me that you don't feel anything at all."
Qin Junyue didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but she only knew the meaning of the first half. This was the first time she heard that the seventh brother would praise a woman! If she didn't understand the words, she skipped them directly. Anyway, the seventh brother was here.
Feng Yu leaned against the tree trunk, resting his head on his arm. He had lost his folding fan a long time ago and had not bought a new one. There were dry branches on his right hand, ready to add firewood at any time, and he was biting a leaf at the corner of his mouth, looking a little careless.
"So what if I feel it? Anyway, judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be an enemy, otherwise there wouldn't be no movement at all, just disappearing and reappearing, and he's right there with me.

It's almost the same thing that the batch of assassins noticed. I can't figure out who else I offended, maybe it's someone sent by my father to protect me secretly."
"If it was for protection, then there wouldn't be any holes in Yue'er's clothes. Maybe it was for surveillance."
"Whatever, I didn't do anything? What's the use of spying on me? Go to sleep. It's cold at night, so you two just stay in the carriage and don't come out."
"Brother, are you going to sleep outside?"
Feng Yu and Jiang Xingwan were stunned, and both looked up at her. She immediately knew why she asked this question, it was really rude.
"Pretend I didn't say it, pretend I didn't say it, hehe."
He slipped in quickly and huddled under the only quilt.
Jiang Xingwan reached for the fur-collared coat he was wearing and handed it to Feng Yu.
"It's windy at night, so you can cover yourself with an extra layer. Yue'er and I can just cover ourselves with quilts. It's not that cold between the two of us."
Feng Yu didn't refuse. Although he practiced martial arts, he didn't have to fight against him.
"Okay, how can you refuse Sister Xingwan's kindness? Go to sleep, I'm outside."
The two outer robes can still keep out the cold, and there is a fire next to it, which makes it safe. But I don't sleep deeply. I have to make a fire from time to time and observe the small movements, and I can always wake up after a while.
At dawn, Feng Yu put away his fur-collared coat, stood up and stretched. The fire gradually extinguished, leaving only some red charcoal. After packing up his clothes, he looked around again, and walked to the river to wash himself.
He calmed down and woke up. He turned around and picked up some dry firewood, and the smoke started to rise again. The fire began to grow brighter. He took out a few pieces of cake and baked them slowly.
Several people far away in the woods also took a nap, and soon they all woke up.
"His Highness is really very vigilant. Last night he moved every now and then, but the fire didn't go out. My brother didn't dare to light a fire. It was really cold."
"What can we do? Why don't we go over and make a fire with His Highness? How do you explain it, are you an assassin or a spy?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. This place is quite close to Jinling City. I don't think there is any need for the rest of us to follow. Let's all go back."
"The general ordered us to follow him all the time. It's still too early to return to the capital. Besides, people say that Jinling City has been prosperous since ancient times. Why don't you go for a stroll?"
They looked at each other, their eyes started to light up, it looked like they had found a good guy.
The two girls made lazy sounds and poked their heads out of the carriage.
"Wake up, go to the river and wash your face. You can have breakfast now. The cakes are warm."
The two put on their coats and went to the river together. Feng Yu looked at the direction of those people and couldn't help but smile. These people were really persevering, but they just didn't know what their purpose was.
After eating and drinking, and their stomachs warmed up, the three of them drove the carriage above the sun when they finally saw the gate of Jinling City.
"This is Jinling. The city wall looks very majestic and there are many people there."
"When talking about the state cities of the Tang Dynasty alone, Jinling City is considered the first city in the south. There are other states and places, but here is the place that governs seven states. Jinling City is also extremely large. One city is a state, and it is even more...
The royal family sits in the town, travels to Beiya in the north, carries the wealth of Jiangdu in the east, sails across Taihu Lake in the south, and meets human guests in the west. Let me tell you, it's faster here than in the capital.

live!"
"Brother, I can't tell, but you know Jinling City quite well. Have you come here often before?"
"Not much. I went to Minzhou and stayed here for a few days before. Although we were close before, I never had the chance. Who told me that I was just a wild boy? No one loved me, but my aunt brought me here.
several times."
This was the first time Qin Junyue heard that Seventh Brother actually had an aunt.
"That's not right. I remember that Aunt Yu comes from the Longcheng family. She doesn't have any younger sisters in the family. Weren't you in Jiangnan before?"
Jiang Xingwan was also curious. She had no idea about Feng Yu's past, and all the news about him in the Tianji Tower seemed to have been erased.
Feng Yu smiled and drove the carriage into the city, "If you really talk about my past, I can't finish it in seven days and seven nights. It's better that you don't know. How many things can you hold in your little head?
, don’t talk about my mother, you probably can’t even remember the highlights of your father’s past.”
Natural, unpretentious, seamless, expressions in place, eyes looking straight ahead, movements smooth without pause.
Feng Yu couldn't help but ask himself: Is this because I have acted too much? I admire myself for my transition ability.
To be honest, the two martial arts in Pufa Temple are much better than him, but their acting skills are really not good enough.
"Jinling City is too big, so we won't stay here and will go directly to Prince Sheng's Mansion."
"No, brother, look at the surrounding area. It's so prosperous and there are all kinds of people there. Don't you really want to go shopping?"
Feng Yu slowed down the carriage as he entered the city. There were many people here and he didn't want to have an accident as soon as he entered the city.
"You are stupid. After you meet Uncle Wang Sheng, you are still worried that Uncle Wang won't show you around. Can you learn to be smarter? Then we don't have to pay for it ourselves, and there will be someone to guide you so that you don't go down the wrong path.
The most important thing is to show your filial piety first and then go play. Uncle Wang is also happy because he knows whether he knows or not."
Qin Junyue clapped his hands and shouted hello. "Yes, Brother Qi, you are so smart. I haven't seen Uncle Sheng for a long time. I'm going to kill him hard. There is so much wealth here in Jiangnan, he must have
Small vault!”
The carriage moved slowly and finally arrived in front of Prince Sheng's Mansion. It was located to the west of Jinling City, which was not too far away. If it was in Dongcheng District, it would probably have to run away.
"In front of the palace, the idle people leave!"
Feng Yu took the token Qin Junyue was wearing and walked up to them and showed it to them, "We are visiting from afar, can we go in now?"
The two guards looked at each other and knew that someone was coming, but they did not let him in.
"Please wait a moment, I need to inform you and wait for the prince's instructions."
"Can."
One person trotted in, and Feng Yu also had the opportunity to look at the gate of the palace.
The structure is not complicated, and the layout is conventional, no different from that of an ordinary mansion, but the guard surprised Feng Yu slightly.
But in front of the mansion, these guards are not simple. They are all good ones. When someone comes over, the eyes and attacks of the people next to them are directed towards the door. There are also hidden sentries. They are not weak in strength. There are several seventh-grade team leaders. Really
I don’t know how strong the defense force of the entire palace will be. It is worthy of being the number one palace in Jiangnan!
Jiang Xingwan also walked up to him, "It seems that Prince Sheng is not a scholar."
"In any case, being able to guard the south of the Yangtze River and command the seven states is something that Uncle Wang will never take lightly. I'm afraid Jinling won't treat you well."
