Chapter 8 Luoyang, the capital of God (Part 2) - Murder in Shenchi (Part 1)
The most famous scenic spot in Luoyang is the Tianjin Bridge, and its "Tianjin Dawn Moon" is the first of the eight scenic spots in Luoyang. The south of the bridge is the busiest market in Luoyang, and the scenery is charming, making it a must-see for tourists. There are many brothels in the city, and there are many places to visit.
It made the famous people who claimed to be romantic and reluctant to leave. In addition, Wu Zhao had just moved to Yongguan, and hundreds of thousands of households went to Luoyang to fill up the household registration in Luoyang, bringing the population to more than one million. It is conceivable that the situation was prosperous.
It was a pity that Long Ying was unable to go sightseeing for the time being. He was put on a carriage with the curtains lowered on the windows. He should still be able to vaguely see the scenery outside, but the sight was blocked by the cavalry guarding him on the left and right. After realizing it, Wu Zhao should have received Princess Taiping's first message.
A report was sent to the capital in one step, and they learned about the assassin, so there was such a big battle.
Alas! I finally have to face the most terrifying woman in the world. Will my cheap evil emperor be able to deal with her with three moves? When the two emperors meet, I will suffer the most. Suddenly I thought of Xiang Yutian, if this "True Evil Emperor" were in his own situation
What would you do in the current situation?
The car slowed down slowly, stopped, and the door opened. General Li Duozuo boarded the car and sat next to him. He said kindly: "Finally arrived at Duanmen. After routine inspection, we entered the imperial city and went straight to the palace. I have seen it.
Confidential report, Brother Ying is really lucky. As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later, and it is indeed true for me like a god."
The carriage started off again.
Long Ying was confused and said: "What blessings will I have in the future?"
This young general is thirty-one or two years old, but he is in a high position. At first glance, he is not good-looking, but he has good features. However, due to his sturdy body, he is as tall as a dragon eagle, and his face is clear and shrewd.
His eyes were sparkling, and the more he looked at him, the more energetic he felt. His charm was extraordinary, so he was favored by Wu Zhao and took on the important responsibility of palace security. Being able to occupy this position, he was not only Wu Zhao's confidant general, but also a leader in the Zhou army.
He should be a very important figure.
What makes Long Ying particularly fond of him is that he has a friendly attitude and doesn't speak official language. However, if he is currently in a hostile position with Wu Zhao, Long Ying's sharp demon species senses that he has reached the state of both internal and external strength, and will not lose to that person.
Feng Guoting is one of the top masters in the world. Wu Zhao has so many talents under his command. No wonder the Demon Sect is defeated like a mountain once they take control of Xingzang. It is not easy to deal with this king alone. He can't help but feel itchy when he thinks of "exorcism."
Li Duozuo happily said: "The Holy One called me to speak, and told me many times to receive him as a distinguished guest and to make sure that my little brother feels at home. For my little brother to be so valued by the Holy One, what else is it but a blessing for the future?"
Longying smiled bitterly in his heart: "Isn't it the Holy God?"
Li Duozuo lowered his voice and said: "It was changed twelve days ago. From now on, we will all honor it as the Holy One."
Long Ying asked casually: "What etiquette must be observed when meeting the Holy Sage?"
Li Duozuo asked in surprise: "Didn't the fat father-in-law tell you?"
With this sentence, he knew that Li Duozuo did not know the identity of his prisoner, so he shook his head and said that the fat father-in-law did not tell him.
Li Duozuo said: "Ordinary subjects must perform the ritual of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times when they first pay a visit to the Holy One. My little brother has just recovered from his injury, so this ritual can be dispensed with."
Long Ying said: "General, will you take your younger brother to see the Holy One now?"
Li Duozuo smiled and said: "The Holy Lord cares for my little brother in every possible way. He knows that my little brother has a hard journey, so he told me to let him have a good rest first and meet him at Shangyang Palace after dusk."
Long Ying was surprised and asked: "Then where are we going now?" He thought Wu Zhao would be eager to see him. Could it be that he and the fat father-in-law expressed their feelings wrongly? He felt uncomfortable and funny at the same time. He should be happy.
This kind of mentality is really contradictory. It seems that you think you are holding something heavy, but when you hold it, you realize that it is as light as nothing and has no taste.
Li Duozuo said: "Eunuch Rong is greeting my little brother at the south gate of the palace. He has his own arrangements. He will take care of his daily life in the future."
Long Ying's scalp began to feel numb. Such treatment was something he had never expected before entering the palace.
The carriage entered the palace city, and the curtains covering the windows were lifted, revealing a group of palaces standing tall and orderly under the afternoon sun. It was a breathtaking and magnificent scene. Long Ying, a country boy who had just arrived in the noble realm, was stunned.
Breathtaking.
The general was replaced by Eunuch Rong, the leader of the eunuchs who was only thirty years old. He was good-looking and very eloquent. He sat next to the dragon eagle and casually introduced the names and features of the palaces along the way. He was full of witty words and eloquent.
Rong Gonggong said: "This is the Wanxiang Shrine, the main palace in the city, the largest in scale. There are thirty-five inner halls, platforms, and pavilions in the palace. Most of them face south and north, with the same height. They are spread out along the Shinto in the middle line, in order.
, well-proportioned.”
Seeing the palaces facing each other and the numerous towers, Long Ying exhaled and said: "It's so big!"
Eunuch Rong leaned into his ear and said: "When I first entered the palace, I got lost from time to time. It's a little better here. If you are blindfolded and sent to Shendu Garden in the west of the capital, I guarantee that you will never come out for an hour. We will
I love playing this game the most.”
Long Ying thought to himself that this was a game only played by people in the palace. He could easily find the exit even if he was blindfolded after changing to his small stone house. Pointing to the exposed square roof of the building behind the east city wall, he wondered: "Where is that place?"
?So weird.”
Eunuch Rong said proudly: "That is Hanjiacang City. It has four miles and 197 steps in the east wall, one mile and 230 steps in the north and south. It is connected to the East Palace in the south. There are 436 grain cellars in the city.
Mr. Long was surprised because the warehouse is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, with a large mouth and a small bottom. If all the warehouses are full, it can hold six million dan of grain, making it the largest granary in the country."
Longying called his mother in his heart, but Hanjiacang's stored grains were enough to feed the gods for several years. If the Yulin army that had just escorted him here was used as a standard, the soldiers and grains were well-deserved. No wonder Wu Zhao had spent several years before he ascended the throne.
There were rebellions, but she sent troops to quickly put them down. She sighed secretly, her own fighting spirit, which was as strong as a rainbow, had been greatly weakened by the magnificent scenes of the Zhou Dynasty, which was very bad.
I couldn't help but poke my head out, take a breath of the cold winter wind, and catch a glimpse of the lake and trees in front of me. The scenery was extremely beautiful, and I shouted into the wind: "How could there be such a good place?"
Eunuch Rong said happily: "That is the most beautiful place in the palace. It is named Shenchi. There are two continents in the pond. The Dengchun Pavilion on the east continent and the Liqi Pavilion on the west continent are exactly where Mr. Long was designated by the Holy Spirit.
"
The first eight riders opened the way, and the carriage carried the new generation of Evil Emperor Dragon Eagle into the palace city. Everything seemed so unreal, like a dream, and there was no clear boundary between reality and fantasy.
The carriage crossed the 200-step Liqi Bridge and arrived at Xizhou, which was like a fairyland on the sea. Under the guidance of Eunuch Rong, Long Ying stepped out of the carriage and stepped onto the gravel path in the forest surrounded by greenery. The roadside was planted with famous flowers.
Rhododendrons, lilies, etc. can be seen everywhere. The flowers are blooming and fragrant. The front suddenly opens up and you can see the pavilion of the palace. Compared with his hut in the desert valley, it seems to be different from heaven and earth.
Rong Gong said fairly: "Mr. Long, have a good rest. The general has ordered us to come down and after your dinner, he will personally come to pick you up and bring him to Shangyang Palace to see you."
Then he whispered: "Only monarchs and envoys from foreign countries will be treated so grandly by the Holy Emperor. Don't worry about security issues. Xizhou is the easiest place to protect. As long as people guard Liqi Bridge and set up defenses on the bank of the pool, the Immortal City will be safe." If you can't come, sir, you can enjoy the gifts of the Holy Spirit to your heart's content."
Long Ying murmured what kind of gifts his mother might have, and suddenly the sound of warblers on the steps in the distance suddenly sounded: "My slave, I would like to say hello to Lord Ying!"
Long Ying was dizzy and looked towards where Jiao Yin came from, dumbfounded for a moment.
Welcoming the dragon eagle were eight delicate palace maidens who were young and beautiful. They were thin and fat, of different heights, but they were all youthful, healthy and lively. They were kneeling on both sides. The most important thing was that each of the ladies wore palace clothes of different colors. , with a jade belt around her waist and a swaying headdress, he was dazzled by the look. Such a makeup and makeup formation, as long as he is a normal man, who would not be distracted by his mind and spirit.
Liqi Pavilion is unique. There are two osmanthus trees in the courtyard in front of the main building. It is a beautiful garden in the south of the Yangtze River. The house and garden are connected, and the water is introduced, forming a stream and a pond, which lays the landscape skeleton of the whole garden. You can only see the magnificent layout of the pavilions in a remote corner of the palace. , you can get a glimpse of the extremely luxurious palace life of the Zhou Dynasty.
The main hall has three rooms and seven shelves, with a horizontal plaque with the words "Liqi Pavilion" hanging on it. Long Ying recognized Wu Zhao's handwriting at a glance.
Before Long Ying had a chance to clear his head, the girls, under the instructions of Eunuch Rong, had already gathered Long Ying into the small sedan hall and arrived at the main hall. The main hall was majestic, with carved beams, marble screens on the left and right walls, and Hanging book scrolls and displaying ancient bottles make the mahogany furniture appear full of antiquity and wash away the dust.
Eunuch Rong looked at the sky through the window. He leaned into his ear like an old friend and whispered in his ear: "The sun is going down soon! I heard that Your Majesty is very busy today. Why don't Lord Ying take a good rest and let them serve you? One day Lord Ying was in the palace. Inside, they are Lord Ying's people. The slaves have chosen them from among the palace ladies to serve Lord Ying. They are all virgins who have not been treated by human beings. No matter what Lord Ying has asked of them, they will only be happy and rejoicing. Accept the favor and benefit from it.”
He changed his name to Ying Ye, which made Long Ying smile bitterly in his heart. At this time, the girls were lighting lamps, and some used spiced cotton towels to clean his hands and wipe his face. They circled around him like butterflies wearing flowers, but they never forgot to look back. Smile or wink. If Princess Taiping was just pretending to seduce her, they must be serious. At the same time, he was very suspicious of Eunuch Rong’s words. Seeing their flirty eyebrows and flirtatious style, they looked like human beings even though they were young. The appearance of a person who is experienced in both men and women has nothing to do with being a shy virgin.
Eunuch Rong left Long Ying's ears and said in a loud voice: "Serve Master Ying well to His Majesty. If Master Ying says a word, he will not be lenient."
The girls agreed sweetly.
Eunuch Rong said happily to Long Ying: "They have been specially trained, and each has their own set of skills to serve their master. Master Ying will know it after trying them."
All the girls were giggling and laughing, some even looked shy, and the whole room was in a state of joy.
Long Ying was overwhelmed. He was by no means a gentleman who abided by etiquette. Moreover, he had lived in the same sect who took pleasure in courting women for many years. He had a weak awareness of the defense between men and women. He was just a fair lady, and a gentleman likes to cheat. The problem is today. Now he is facing the most severe challenge. His opponent is Wu Zhao, the most powerful female emperor in the world. He has to negotiate terms with her and survive in death. If he has sex with other women, a man and a woman, a phoenix and a dragon, I wonder how he could hold his chest high and show the courage and character of a new generation of evil emperors in front of Wu Zhao's dragon?
