Suddenly, Wang Junlin's heart moved. He turned around slowly and saw a forest of poplar trees on the southeast bank of the river. Autumn leaves were flying in the wind, and the tree trunks were pointing straight toward the sky. They looked as formidable as a spear in the army.
A woman in a green and black skirt stood in the woods, watching Wang Junlin and his party pass by on the bridge. The breeze blew by the river, blowing her hair on her head, revealing a beautiful face and a pair of clear eyes.
Eye.
Wang Junlin recognized the woman as Zhang Chuchen at a glance, but the latter's appearance was completely different from the one they saw yesterday. Wang Junlin was not surprised at all. He and Nie Xiaoyu could become two other people, Zhang Chuchen
Chuchen is naturally able to do this as well.
…
…
Although after more than half a year of human life influence, especially Wang Junlin sometimes deliberately let Nie Xiaoyu touch something deeply, making Nie Xiaoyu more and more humane, but under normal circumstances, if nothing happens, Wang Junlin will not
If asked proactively, Nie Xiaoyu would act like a baby going out for the first time. He would look hard at the window, full of interest in everything he could see, and then seemed to fall into an endless daze. Even Wang Junlin was completely confused.
Forgot.
Therefore, Wang Junlin was very bored along the way, thinking about things other than practicing. The official road, which was not too long, seemed to never end. The yellow dust kicked up by the four wheels of the carriage floated on the wide road.
It rises like a yellow dragon, but it is firmly bound in the middle of the road by two rows of trees beside the road, unable to jump out. It looks like it is struggling pitifully and twisting.
The various trees on both sides of the official road, mainly poplars, have large or small leaves, but overall, they are much smaller than those in the south. The trunks are thick and thick, and there is a tree a few feet away.
Wang Junlin stretched his head out of the carriage window, squinted his eyes, and watched the trees flashing past his eyes against the wind. Somehow, he remembered that in later generations, he once took a train from Xi'an to Taiyuan.
What happened was that when we were passing through Shanxi, the trees on both sides of the railway track were being smashed backwards in such a boring way.
The carriage designed and built by Nie Xiaoyu was very stable, and I don't know how it was done. There was no dust flying by the window, and the only people eating the dust were the old slaves sitting in the coachman's seat and the six swordsmen guarding it on both sides.
The carriage gradually moved forward, and after two days, the dark shadow was finally seen clearly. At this time, the clouds in the world suddenly dispersed, as if to welcome the guests from afar, and cast the hot autumn light, shining on that shadow.
superior.
It turns out... it's a rather large city.
Naturally, this city cannot be compared with Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, but it is also tall and majestic. It is built with large pieces of bluestone. The three-foot-high city wall is slightly tilted, but it still gives everyone who comes from afar a sense of security.
There is an indescribable sense of oppression, as if the city wall may crush you below at any time. There are still double-eaves pavilions on the city, perhaps used as turrets, and soldiers are walking up and down patrolling the high city walls. This is a state
Zhifu City is also a military city.
A solemn and majestic feeling emanates from this huge city wall.
On the official road, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Wang Junlin squinted his eyes and retracted his head from the window.
Taiyuan City has finally arrived. As long as you enter this city, there is a possibility of being trapped inside, or even losing your life here.
Wang Junlin knew that Taiyuan City, as the capital city of the Sui Dynasty, was actually the ancient city of Jinyang. In fact, the place where Taiyuan was located was the territory of Jinyang County. This huge city had not stood on this land for as long as the capital city of the Sui Dynasty.
In a short period of time, I don’t know how much wind and rain it has experienced. The outer edge of the huge bluestone has been somewhat weathered, but it still remains stubbornly hard.
Wang Junlin was a little emotional. His emotion was different from that of all travelers, because this city was the only other city he had seen in the past three years since he came to this world, which could be considered ancient even in this era.
.
Moreover, there has always been a fresh flavor in the ancient capital of the Sui Dynasty. Wang Junlin knew that this was because the capital was renovated every year, so today when you can see buildings from a long time ago, you feel a little inexplicable about the vicissitudes of life.
…
…
Taiyuan City can be considered prosperous. Although the streets are not as wide as the capital city, there are restaurants and restaurants along the way. They have green tiles and pale walls, and are shaded by tall trees. The scenery is quite beautiful. However, the expressions of the people walking on the street are not normal, and the nobles have an exaggerated look on their faces.
People were rushing through the city in a flamboyant way, and the common people looked numb, and there were beggars everywhere. In short, the whole street looked prosperous at first glance, but in fact it was filled with a feeling of panic.
Wang Junlin did not choose to leave any mark of the Nanhua Society and secretly meet up with the secret code, but directly visited him at his door.
The streets in Taiyuan City are not complicated. Shan Xiongxin asked someone casually and asked where the residence of General Xiao Mohe, who was under almost one person but more than ten thousand people in Bingzhou, was walking through the streets and alleys. Wang Junlin and his party came to Xiao Mo
When they walked outside He's mansion, it was already dark, but they did not enter the yamen in front of the mansion, which was used for office work. They went straight to the corner gate in the north of the courtyard, and stopped ten steps away from the corner gate. Wang Junlin asked Shan Xiongxin to go up and call the door.
Before Shan Xiongxin arrived at the door, a servant came to greet him. Shan Xiongxin took out a jade plaque that Wang Junlin had just given to him, handed it into the servant's hand, and said loudly: "Excuse me, this is the residence of General Xiao, please excuse me."
Report that a younger member of the Jiangnan tribe has come to pay homage to the elder!"
"This is the back house of General Xiao. Please wait, I will send a message for you right now!" The servant's eyes flashed, he quickly took the jade token and bowed to the ground.
Shan Xiongxin stretched out his hand to help the other person, and when the other person stood up, he stuffed a small piece of silver into his sleeve. The servant was used to greeting and seeing off guests, and he knew from the sudden increase in weight in his sleeve that he was in front of him.
The young man thanked him for the generous gift and ran in anxiously.
A moment later, there were hurried footsteps again in the yard. When the door opened, it was the same servant who came out. He bowed first, then took out a square towel to wipe his sweat and said breathlessly: "My, my master, please come."
When distinguished guests arrive at the front door, he is there to greet them!"
Shan Xiong thanked him, and Wang Junlin had heard their conversation. The group of people walked towards the front door. The servant looked at each other and waited until the group of people had gone far away before returning to the mansion.
Xiao Mohe's residence was actually the yamen where he worked. The Sui Dynasty inherited the Han system, and the government yamen were located in the north and faced south. If the position was high enough to bring their family members to the office, the officials' wives, children, and children were usually placed in the back house of the yamen.
