Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

On the second day,

Bianjing City is shrouded in heavy fog.

The sky is darker than usual in the early morning.

North of the city,

Outside Ansu Gate,

The surface of the Hulong River reflects the gray mist flowing in the sky.

The bridge above the river was reflected in black in the water, and blurry figures could be seen moving beside the bridge.

"Pa"

A wooden bucket with a rope tied to the handle fell onto the river, shattering the reflection. The bucket was pulled by the rope and swayed. After being filled with river water, it was quickly pulled up.

After the bucket was put on the bridge,

As he was being carried forward,

The sounds around him started to get louder, including the voices of people, the snorting of horses, and the clash of armor and weapons while walking.

The man carrying the bucket stopped,

"Wow~"

The water in the bucket was poured into a small leather bucket held by someone's hands.

The leather bucket was brought to the horse's mouth,

Looking at the little Li colt that was drinking water, Alan stroked its smooth neck skillfully and said: "There are important things this morning. Maybe you will be able to see His Majesty the Emperor! I don't dare to let you have more time." drink!"

Little Liju, who drank all his water in a few gulps, stared at Alan with his big eyes.

"When the matter is over and I return to the Marquis Mansion, I will let you have a good drink."

Little Liju didn't know whether he understood or not, so he just hit Alan with his head while digging his front hooves on the ground.

At this time,

The sound of footsteps came: "Alan, you didn't let him drink more water, did you?"

"Don't worry, sir! I just gave you a bucket of water."

After hearing the next sound, the little Liju stopped scratching the ground with its front hooves, snorted and stood upright.

Xu Zaijing walked to the little Liju and stroked the mud hanging outside the horse's belly (the saddle halves drooped to the horse's belly slightly longer than the stirrups to block the mud).

Qingyun who was following behind said:

"Sir, the new mud brought by Qingcao and the other three girls is really beautiful."

Hearing Qingyun's words, Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded.

After entering Bianjing City from Ansumen in the northeast corner of the outer city of Bianjing, there is the north-south Ansumen Inner Street.

The first conspicuous building is the City God Temple on the roadside.

Going south past the Chenghuang Temple is the intersection of Ansumennei Street and Tongle Street.

At this time, at the gate of the City God's Temple, there were soldiers of the Forbidden Army with bright armors lining up here. A battalion commander standing near the roadside was counting his swords.

The surroundings were filled with people from Bianjing who had heard the news yesterday afternoon and came to Ansumen early to watch the excitement.

It ends at noon,

The commander of the Forbidden Army Battalion, who was in charge of 500 infantry troops, began to talk forcefully about some things that his subordinates should pay attention to.

"When you see those holding children, be sure to tell them a few more words to keep an eye on the children!"

“When you see someone trying to throw something, stop immediately, lest the thrown thing scares the horse!”

"Also! If you encounter an unruly idler, ask the Bianjing government officials on the side to take action. You must not leave your position without permission!"

"."

After some training

"Can you hear me clearly?"

"clear!"

the soldiers shouted in unison.

The commander of the battalion nodded and said: "All five of you, head over here together with the entire team. I'll say a few more words."

After a lot of work, the five hundred Forbidden Army soldiers, led by the captain, walked outside the Ansu Gate and began to maintain order according to the arrangement.

At the entrance of Chenghuang Temple,

Among the crowd was a man who was dressed in rich clothes and seemed to know the commander. He raised his hands and said, "May I ask Commander Tu, when will King Bai Gaojiang enter the city?"

The military attache who was called Commander Tu looked at the speaker and replied: "Zhang Yuanwai, just wait a little longer! The fog will clear no matter what."

“Thank you very much”

With that said, the Forbidden Army Attaché walked to the intersection of Ansumennei Street and Tongle Street, and said to the soldiers who were about to stand: "Let them go back! This intersection is not wide enough!"

"yes!"

The Imperial Guards soldiers then started shouting, telling the wealthy people gathered at the street to step back quickly.

At this time, someone upstairs smiled and said, "Brother Tutu, you are so majestic today!"

Tu Tu smiled as he raised his hands to the people upstairs.

At this time,

There was a noise not far away.

Commander Tu held the waist knife and walked over there. He looked at the people of Bianjing who were arguing and said:

"What's going on?"

The young man in a green shirt raised his hands and said:

"Sir, the second floor of his shop faces the street. Last night I paid a deposit of 300 cents. But when I went upstairs today, this thief actually sat on the floor and raised the price!"

The shop steward glared and shouted: "Sir, the villain said that the deposit will be refunded to him! Besides, this grandma has always paid the price, and the villain will get it by paying the highest price."

Commander Tu looked up at the second floor and said, "Look, your second floor can accommodate six or seven people, so let's all go up and take a look!"

"My lord, my family is female!"

The grandmother on the side said.

"Do you have a screen in your store?"

"Of course there are." said the store manager.

"Either we set up a screen to separate it, I pay less money to this nanny, and you can all go up and take a look! Or I will close this shop and no one can go in."

"this"

"I'm counting to five, one."

Looking at the few people who finally compromised, the Bianjing Yamen officer who rushed over gave the commander a thumbs up.

Looking east from the intersection of Tongle Street,

Along the way there were mostly Imperial Guard soldiers maintaining order.

From a distance, you can still see some gangsters from Bianjing being dragged away in chains by the government officials.

Walking eastward in this way, you will reach Jinglongmenwai Street at the fourth intersection with wider roads, taller wooden buildings, and more people.

Walking south from this intersection, you can reach the Inner City Jinglongmen, which is where the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty surrendered today.

This scene is on both sides of Longmenwai Street.

There were quite a few horses and carriages parked.

When you look at the clothes of men and women upstairs on the roadside, you will know that they are either rich or noble.

Not only were there more Imperial Guard soldiers standing than those on Ansumennei Street and Tongle Street just now, but they also looked taller, stronger and more capable.

Jinglongmenwai Street to the south,

You can see from a distance that under a wooden building in Jinglongmen, several carriages with the characters "Sheng" and "Kang" hanging on them slowly stopped.

After the maid put the stool next to the car,

Hualan opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. Then Hualan turned around and stretched out her hand to help her mother Wang Ruofu get out.

Wang Ruofu, who got off the car, looked at his surroundings and said with a smile: "Hua'er, this position is really close to the front!"

Hua Lan smiled and said: "Mother, this is the property of the Tuoxihou family! Although the court and the court had been arguing about which city gate to surrender, when the palace summoned the mother-in-law to enter the palace more than half a month ago, the queen and the mother-in-law My mother said that if the family needs it, they can come here to watch the ceremony."

Hearing this, Wang Ruofu smiled from ear to ear and nodded: "The Queen is really thoughtful, and your mother-in-law is also thoughtful!"

While the mother and daughter were talking, Ru Lan stood on the shaft of the car and looked around from afar: "Wow, sister, there are so many people!"

Then he pointed to the location further south and said, "Look, mother, there are relatives from my aunt's family over there. There are so many Feng family members!"

Behind the Sheng family carriage,

Mrs. Kang Wang helped Qi’s mother get out of the carriage.

After hearing Ru Lan's voice, Prince Kang glanced over and said, "Humph! What a bunch of things!"

After speaking, he waved to his son Kang Jin who was dismounting.

Wang Ruofu looked at Mrs. Kang and said, "Sister, the Chengguo Palace has a large population, and we are relatives in a corner. It's really not easy to go to the ceremony with the Feng family!"

Kang Wang secretly rolled her eyes at her younger sister Wang Ruofu and said, "If we don't ask the Feng family for being so close to each other, why wouldn't the Feng family know how to come and invite us? What kind of virtue is that!"

Wang Ruofu thought about the post sent to the Sheng family by the Feng family of Duke Cheng, and opened his mouth to say: "Big"

Suddenly, she felt Hua Lan and Liu's mother on both sides of her body pulling on her arms.

Wang Ruofu looked to the side of Hua Lan, who was looking back, frowning and glaring to warn Ru Lan who also wanted to talk and show off; he looked to Mother Liu on the other side, who looked at her and shook her head.

Wang Ruofu pursed his lips and did not continue speaking.

At this time, Hua Lan turned around and said with a smile: "Mom, aunt, let's go up quickly!"

Ru Lan got off the carriage, came to Hua Lan and said, "Sister, your face changes so quickly!"

Hua Lan tapped Ru Lan's forehead with her index finger, then waved to Mo Lan and Ming Lan who were standing aside: "Quick, follow me!"

Mo Lan and Ming Lan walked a few steps quickly with the female envoy smiling.

When everyone was approaching the door, Cui Chan, who was beside Hua Lan, walked up to the front and said a few words to the steward at the door.

"It turns out that she is a noble relative of the Hou Mansion. Please come upstairs!"

Arriving at the second floor, which had already been decorated,

Wang Ruofu and others took their seats one after another.

The Sheng family came here with the Kang family's carriage. The Kang family didn't know that Chang Bai and Chang Feng were not in the carriage.

Looking at her lonely son Kang Jin, Mrs. Kang said: "Sister, where is Changbai? Don't let him study all the time, be careful of reading and you will become stupid!"

"Also, where is the bastard born by a bitch in your family?"

Mo Lan had a straight face and pinched her sleeves tightly with her fingers.

Hua Lan held her handkerchief and said, "Auntie, be careful what you say!"

"Aunt, how could you say that about my brother!"

Ru Lan looked at Kang Wang and said.

"How can you two girls talk to your elders?"

Prince Kang glared and scolded.

After hearing what Kang and Wang said about Changbai and scolding Hualan and Rulan, Wang Ruofu's expression changed, he straightened up and looked at Kang Jin and said: "Changbai is accompanying his brother-in-law and several classmates, in Jingjing." Watching the ceremony under the dragon gate."

"Chang Feng also joined in the fun with his big brother."

"They are all children who have to take the imperial examination, so they are not as good as Brother Jin, who is waiting for Yinfeng in my eldest sister's family."

Kang Wang: "You!"

After saying this,

Kang Jin on the side became even more uncomfortable.

Kang Haifeng's father, Mr. Kang, was also a giant in officialdom before. However, now Kang Jin failed to pass the imperial examination and could only wait for Yin Feng.

"The two ladies are blood relatives, so please don't say a few words!" Qi's mother hurriedly interjected.

"How can you say that about your nephew?" Mother Qi said the last sentence while looking at Wang Ruofu.

Mother Liu stood in front of Wang Ruofu, held a handkerchief and looked at Mother Qi and said, "Yes! What Mother Qi said is, how can anyone talk about their nephew like that? What they say is not hoping for a little good!"

Mother Qi glared and said, "You!"

Mother Liu smiled, bowed politely and stood next to Wang Ruofu.

"With the power in the Hou Mansion, Mother Liu is really unreasonable and unforgiving!" Prince Kang said.

"Sister, is it because of the Marquis's relationship that we can come here to see Bai Gao surrender?" Minglan asked seemingly ignorant.

"yes!"

Hua Lan replied.

At the entrance to the second floor, Cuichan, Caihuan and the Sheng family's female envoy served soup and tea.

After putting the tea cup away, Cuichan said: "Girl, it's almost time, you still have to prepare!"

"Yeah, I know!"

"Mom, aunt, then I'm leaving!"

Hua Lan said and gave a blessing.

Wang Ruofu smiled and said:

"Go quickly, don't delay your business."

"Madam, please go and see me off."

Mother Liu bowed and said.

Wang Ruofu waved his hand.

Hua Lan and Liu's mother went downstairs.

Walking to the door of the first floor, Liu's mother looked at the second floor and said, "Miss, this is my sister!"

As she spoke, Mother Liu shook her head.

Hualan smiled and patted Mother Liu's hand and said, "It's okay, Mother Liu! I'll leave first."

After watching Hua Lan leave, Liu's mother bowed and turned to go upstairs.

As soon as we arrived on the second floor, we heard Wang Wang's voice: "She didn't even say she would take you to the place where Yongyi Marquis Xu's family is staying! You also said that they treat you as a real relative? Really!"

Not far from Jinglongmen,

A two-story elegant wooden building,

A plaque with the words "A Pot of Tea" hangs at the door of the wooden building.

Under the plaque,

Four men with indifferent expressions stood outside the threshold.

From the threshold to the stairs, six strong mothers stood not far away.

On the second floor,

There is tulle hanging between the columns facing the street, and there are several chairs with puppets in the room facing the tulle.

before tulle,

Yunmu opened a small gap.

Chai Zhengzheng, wearing a silver-white embroidered red peony, light green double-breasted jacket, and butterfly jade headgear, stood behind the gap, looking at the misty opposite side, and after looking at it for a while, he said: "It's Sister Hualan, why did she arrive at this time? "

Yunmu looked back at the empty chair: "Girl, the second eldest lady of the Xu family came very early!"

Fuyi on the other side nodded.

“I don’t know when this fog will lift!”

"Girl, when we returned to the city yesterday afternoon, I saw that there was a sunset. It must be a good weather today!"

Chai Zhengzheng nodded, and this action made the other golden hair accessory on her head tremble and move slightly.

"Girl, sit down and rest for a while!"

"Um!"

Chai Zhengzheng nodded and glanced at the other side before sitting on the chair.

"Are there any dishonest and trouble-making scoundrels around here?"

A man's voice came from downstairs.

"If anything happens, just call me wherever you go, and I will make sure they never come back!"

The mother of the Chai family downstairs replied politely.

After hearing the sound, Ziteng walked a few steps quickly and came to the railing outside the gauze. After taking a look outside, she walked over:

"Girl, he is the son of the Hou family of Fuchang who serves in the Forbidden Army, and the brother of Miss Feiyan."

Chai Zhengzheng nodded and said, "Let mom thank you and give it to this person."

"Brother Xian, why are you here?"

"I have military duties to attend to today! Oops, someone over there asked me to say goodbye."

Listening to the conversation downstairs, Chai Zhengzheng stopped talking.

Ziteng quickly walked to the railing facing the street again.

When she walked back, Chai Zhengzheng, Yunmu and Fuyi all looked at her.

"Girls, they are the two girls from the Dou family."

Yun Mu said: "Ziteng, why do you keep your voice so low?"

"I'm afraid the people downstairs will hear it."

"Zhengzheng! I'm here to find you!" came the voice of the fifth lady of the Zhang family.

Chai Zhengzheng stood up and looked back, and saw Wu Niang followed by Mother Fan and several female servants, covering her mouth with her hands and yawning as she went upstairs, her eyes narrowed as she yawned.

"I was carried by my mother to wash myself early in the morning, and I haven't woken up yet!"

"!!!"

"clank?"

Wu Niang looked at Chai Zhengzheng in front of her, her eyes widened and she suddenly woke up. She ran up to her in small steps and said, "Zhengzheng, why are you so beautiful today! I have never seen you wear this outfit!"

Chai Zhengzheng smiled and turned around, showing off his clothes: "Really?"

"Yeah, yeah! I want a set too."

"no problem!"

As she said this, Wu Niang had already arrived in front of Chai Zhengzheng, took Chai Zhengzheng's arm and said, "Zhengzheng, you are so kind to me!"

After a while,

The sun rises from outside the mist,

It makes the entire Jinglongmenwai Street a lot brighter.

There were more and more people in Bianjing on the street outside the tea house, and noises and voices could be heard from time to time.

On the second floor of the 'One Pot of Tea' teahouse, there are several more noble ladies from the capital.

After all, it is a fun thing to watch, so the more people there are, the better the atmosphere will be.

Gu Tingyi leaned on the chair, and the female envoy on the same side said to add two pieces of candy, then turned to Chai Zhengzheng and said: "By the way, I just saw the Rong family brother downstairs, he is very responsible! I came up here I saw him walking around all the time!"

Zheng Ni said on the side: "Maybe I miss my sister."

As he said that, Zheng Ni glanced at Rong Feiyan beside him teasingly.

The sun rises slowly,

The fog in Bianjing gradually dissipated.

Not far away, under the Jinglong Gate, there was a sharp 'quasi! ’ came the shout.

"Accurate~"

Some of the energetic Imperial Guard soldiers shouted in succession.

Upon hearing this movement, Chai Zhengzheng stood up and walked towards the tulle and said:

"It's about to begin!"

The ladies on the second floor hurriedly got behind the tulle and listened to the shouts of the word "quasi" coming to the northwest.

Outside Ansu Gate,

The fog hasn't cleared yet,

Zhang Fangyan, the eldest son of the British Duke, looked at the soldiers holding the flag with the word "Zhou" not far in front of him, and then looked sideways at the little Liju under Xu Zaijing who was talking to Paoze behind him.

Zhang Fangyan turned around and said: "Wu Lang, come up!"

Xu Zaijing, who was talking sideways, shouted: "Yes!"

After a while, Xu Zaijing stepped forward.

"Go, stand next to the flag, let me take a look!"

Xu Zaijing acted according to his words.

Little Liju stood next to the cavalry, snorting constantly, asking the soldiers holding the flag to move their mounts from time to time.

Zhang Fangyan compared the humans and horses and said: "Zhongshen! Yu Zhongshen!"

The soldier holding the flag in front looked back: "Ah? General?"

"Give the flag to Wulang and let him go to the front."

"yes!"

After a while,

There is a wind blowing outside the city,

The wind combined with the sun caused the fog to dissipate quickly.

"Accurate~"

In the distance, sounds came from far away, from small to loud.

The sound came from outside Ansu Gate, and the imperial guard closest to everyone shouted:

"allow!"

Xu Zaijing held up the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty,

I didn't see him say anything.

Relying on the connection between his mind and his mount, the little Liju began to move.

Xu Zaijing is in front,

Behind him were almost some of the most elite cavalry in Dazhou, and they began to enter the city.

The Dazhou flag made of extremely light material fluttered fiercely in the wind.

Under the flag, Xu Zaijing and Xiao Liju, dressed in cavalry armor, are particularly handsome!

Enter the first intersection after entering Ansumen Nei Street.

Looking at the majestic cavalry, among the people watching, who shouted loudly first: "The Great Zhou Dynasty will be victorious!"

The sound stirred up thousands of waves!

The people who were watching, including men, women, old and young, all started shouting.

After all, this great Zhou Dynasty has not had such a great victory that destroyed the country for a long time.

The first two months were filled with constant success stories.

Either Marquis Tuoxi attacked the city, or Marquis Yongyi captured Houqu, or captured Keyi Gate, or Bai Gao surrendered.

Each one of them is a accumulation of pride for the people of Zhou Dynasty.

After all this accumulation, I finally have a place to vent today.

Bai Gaojiangchen, who was following the cavalry, felt weak in his heart when he heard the shouts of the surrounding mountains and tsunami.

But among them, Zuo Jue Zhongding and Zhao Taifeng felt better than ever before!

Outside Jinglong Gate,

Listening to the rumbling shouts in the distance,

Although it sounded like they were still far away, the fifth lady of the Zhang family was already excitedly holding Chai Zhengzheng's and Gu Tingyi's hands tightly.

Chai Zhengzheng was beside him and he could hear Wu Niang calling to Zhou Wansheng in a low voice.

soon,

"Great Zhou Wansheng!"

The chorus of shouts is getting closer,

Rong Feiyan stood on the left side of Chai Zhengzheng, looking towards the north with her head tilted.

When I heard the shouting and arrived at the intersection on the north side,

Rong Feiyan lifted up the gauze and rushed to the railing. After taking a look, she said: "Here he is! Here he is!"

Chai Zhengzheng, Gu Tingyi, Zhang Jiawu Niang and others also came to the railing outside the gauze like Rong Feiyan.

"Big brother! That's my big brother!"

Wu Niang pointed at the general behind Xu Zaijing and shouted.

Half an hour later,

A cavalryman on a black horse came closer, holding a flag.

The fifth lady of the Zhang family no longer had to control herself, and she shouted at the top of her lungs like the people around her.

The same goes for Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan.
