Chapter 6: A severed head, a heart that cannot be held
In the carriage, the masked woman held a book of poetry in her hand and read it with gusto, but the little maid next to the woman did not. As soon as she heard that she was about to enter the city, she could not restrain her young and playful temperament and secretly opened the door.
She pulled up the curtain on the carriage that was embroidered with a phoenix pattern on gold silk, and stared outside with her big watery eyes. It wasn't until the old woman scolded that the little maid lowered the curtain with a puffy mouth.
The masked woman's charming eyes curved into crescent moons, and she touched the little maid's head lovingly. She raised her red lips and said with a smile: "I told you to be playful, Zhang Ma told you."
"Humph!" The little maid quickly turned her head away, looking pitiful and very endearing.
The masked woman smiled and continued to look down at the poetry collection in her hand.
…
When Jia Tiangong saw the motorcade stretching into a black line in the distance, he was extremely happy. After waiting for such a long time, he had finally waited. He stretched out his hand to straighten his black gauze hat, lightly dusted off the dust on his body, and his face was filled with tears.
With that seemingly stiff smile, his eyes looked into the distance.
When the policemen on the side saw the magistrate's appearance, they became even more curious about who was coming. Finally, the convoy was getting closer and closer to them. The policemen couldn't help but feel that the ground was shaking, and they subconsciously corrected themselves.
After taking my body, I realized that the earth was really trembling.
In the flying dust, tall horses were guarding a carriage, galloping forward, and above the carriage was a large flag as bright as blood, with the word "King" written on it!
After seeing the word "王", the detectives finally understood why the magistrate was acting so abnormally today.
There are not many people who can hang the flag on the carriage in Daliang, and there are even fewer people who can hang the blood flag. The king character on the blood flag hanging on the carriage in front is Daliang.
The surname of the lord of one of the five major cities.
Daliang was in its heyday, so there were many cities, but there were also some extremely wealthy cities, such as: "Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Jinling."
These five are the five major cities in Daliang, and the city lords among these five cities are called the five major city lords. The king character on the carriage is the one who can hang the flag of the city of Jinling City, Wang Hongxi.
The carriage means that the cavalry behind the carriage are the direct troops under the command of the King's City Lord.
The owner of Jinling City, Wang Hongxi, is a highly prestigious military commander in the temple. It is said that the young emperors who are currently in power are all courteous to this royal city owner in the temple. Not to mention the height of the temple, he is just the city owner of Jinling City.
This identity makes ordinary people take a breath of cold air when they hear it. How can Jinling City
At the northernmost part of Daliang, there is still a military presence with millions of troops. Although Wang Hongxi is only the city lord of Jinling City, more than ten small cities around Jinling also comply with the meaning of Jinling City. In other words, Wang Hongxi, the city lord, is here
At the northernmost point of the beam is a hand covering the sky, like a cloud and rain.
There are only three blood flags in the entire beam, one in the hands of Wang Hongxi, one in the hands of the lord of Luoyang City, Liang Zhehan, and one in the hands of Xiao Liren, the martial sage who is known as the best in the world outside the Nine Heavens.
These three bloody flags were all sent by the late emperor himself. These three flags were meant to be cut first and then played. Seeing the flag is like seeing the king, which is the same as the sword of Shang Fang in the previous dynasty.
Pedestrians and policemen on both sides of the street inadvertently opened their eyes wide and looked at the mighty and powerful Jinling Cavalry in the distance. Who in the entire Liang didn't know what kind of existence the Jinling Cavalry was? They were helping the late emperor.
The team that conquered half of the country!
Someone once said that if you can catch a glimpse of the majestic appearance of the Jinling Cavalry in this life, it will be worth it.
It was obvious that the person who said this was not as lucky as the villagers and police officers present, let alone Jia Tiangong, who almost knelt down in front of the Jinling Cavalry.
A few years ago, Jinling cavalry traveled all over the north and south of the Liang River. It is said that the late emperor once again asked Wang Hongxi to capture a city. At this time, Wang Hongxi only had 200 cavalry troops. After receiving the military order, Wang Hongxi did not ask why, nor did he complain about the lack of troops.
With the heart of trusting the king and his subordinates, he led the two hundred cavalry troops into the enemy's city in a mighty manner.
What's the result?
Even the late emperor did not expect that Wang Hongxi would win, and two hundred cavalry crushed the city gate of 20,000 people.
Wang Hongxi returns triumphantly!
That day in the court hall, blood dyed the avenue where the courtiers entered the palace. It was the largest number of people attending the court since Daliang Jianguo came, because Wang Hongxi was carrying countless heads of Jinling soldiers behind him. Some people had counted them, ninety-six in total.
pellets.
Wang Hongxi was wrong, and I was still missing!
From then on, Jinling's cavalry became famous all over the world, and the general who went to court with his head on his back also captured the hearts of people all over the world.
Underneath the severed head was an unmovable heart.
…
The detectives finally understood why the normally pampered Mr. Jia was able to bask in the sun for two hours without a single complaint today. They also understood why Mr. Jia suddenly reacted when he heard the sound of horse hooves.
Regardless of the image, he climbed out of the sedan because the guard behind the convoy was the world-famous Jinling Cavalry, and he was still wearing blood.
The Jinling Cavalry of Ziwang Banner, the policemen finally understood it now, and began to arrange their clothes one after another in order to maintain the best image to welcome this big man who just appeared on the scene would make them dare not think of it in their lives. The road.
People on both sides began to whisper to each other, constantly guessing which god was sitting in this carriage, who could actually have such a grand scene when he went out.
The frequency of the ground shaking seems to have become more intense. I don't know if it's the effect of people's minds or if this Jinling Cavalry really has the ability to shake the earth and the mountains.
After a while, the ordinary-looking carriage finally stopped at the street entrance into the city following the driver's call.
The carriage stopped, and the Jinling cavalry behind the carriage also stopped.
The villagers' detectives looked at the heroic guards in front of them with wide eyes, as carefully as if they were looking at Wang Hongxi. They went down to the war horse and up to Hualing, and looked back and forth three or four times, as if they were looking at less.
It's like you've suffered a big loss after just one glance. If you look a few more times, you'll have more bragging rights after you return to the village.
When Jia Tiangong saw the carriage stop, he hurriedly greeted it with a smile on his face, and then stopped steadily five steps away from the carriage. Then he bent his knees, knelt down and saluted, and said respectfully: "Jia Tiangong, a humble employee."
,See my lord!"
It didn't matter that Jia Tiangong knelt down, it directly frightened all the villagers present. The adults all knelt down, why should we, the young ones, not kneel down? In the blink of an eye, everyone around the carriage knelt on the ground.
.
After everyone knelt down, the groom smiled disdainfully, and then shouted into the curtain: "Miss, this is the magistrate here, shall we see him or not?"
After Jia Tiangong heard this, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. If it hadn't happened, and it wouldn't make people a huge laughing stock, how could he show off his power in this place in the future? So Jia Tiangong kept looking up from time to time.
He glanced at the carriage in front of him.
The air around me seemed to have frozen, and all I could hear was the sound of wind and horses.
Just when everyone thought that the person sitting in the carriage would not see Jia Tiangong, the curtain behind the coachman was opened a small corner.
Bi'er stuck out her head and looked around, her eyes seemed to be a little timid but also a little curious. After all, she was just a child. Although she grew up in the king's house, she couldn't go out once every half a month.
Being far away from home, it was quite novel for Bi'er to see so many people.
Bi'er looked around, then shouted with a smile: "My lady said, Mr. Jia doesn't need to be polite, just come up and talk."
When Jia Tiangong heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Bi'er in the carriage as if he had seen a Bodhisattva. Originally, Jia Tiangong had already planned to be humiliated and thrown into his grandma's house. Who knew what Bi'er said?
Not only did Jia Tiangong not lose face, but his face seemed to have a touch of gold dust. Jia Tiangong did not dare to neglect and stood up quickly. He even forgot all about the kneeling ceremony that he usually practiced repeatedly at home.
He ran to the side of the carriage looking exactly like a merchant.
After the old woman in the car heard the noise, she reached out and opened the side curtain of the carriage. At this time, Jia Tiangong finally saw the masked woman in the car. Although there was a veil, Jia Tiangong could feel that this woman was not...
The only thing that can be compared with the top names in Zuixianfang is a pair of pupils that seem to be able to cut off the autumn water.
The woman made Jia Tiangong look so intoxicated. What kind of scenery would it be if the veil was removed? Jia Tiangong looked at the woman's eyes so intoxicated that he even forgot to speak. His heart trembled.
, only to find that the woman's eyes had been staying on the poetry collection in her hand, Jia Tiangong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, the woman put down the collection of poems, raised her lips slightly, and said in a voice like the sound of nature: "Master Jia, thank you for your trouble."
"This is what a humble job should do." When Jia Tiangong heard this, he was so excited that tears almost fell out, and his knees bent as if he was about to kneel down again.
When the villagers on the street saw this scene, they couldn't help but curled their lips and muttered in a low voice: "On weekdays, when I see someone who is arrogant and domineering, I think I am an emperor. But today, I see that he is just a bully."
Of course, Jia Tiangong couldn't hear these words, and neither could the woman in the car.
"I remember Mr. Jia's wishes, little lady." The masked woman replied again, but from the time she started talking to Jia Tiangong, the woman had never looked directly at Mr. Jia. Along the way, she tried to curry favor with him like Jia Tiangong.
I have seen many officials and women. Not to mention waiting for two hours at the entrance of the city, even kneeling for two hours, women have seen them all.
"Then I won't bother you because of my humble position." Jia Tiangong knew that he had no intention of greeting him, so he had no choice but to give up the idea of continuing the conversation.
"Um."
The woman nodded slightly, and the old woman quickly lowered the side curtain.
Jia Tiangong had no choice but to take a few steps back, and then with the word "drive" from the groom, the team of Jinling cavalry disappeared from people's sight.
