The small door at the side was secretly opened, and with a "squeaking" sound, a head sneaked out.
The exquisite bluestone long street extends outwards as far as the eye can see. Even the back-door streets and alleys are all well-maintained.
At this moment, the sky is not completely dark yet, and only the sound of cockcrows can be heard in the distance. On the hazy streets, from time to time, Tiqi wearing flying fish costumes and carrying lanterns ride past.
This is the Tianjie Royal Road, which is the central axis of the entire Luoyang City. It is also the neighborhood closest to the imperial palace.
The houses here are basically all official residences. After Li Jing ascended the throne, the population of Luoyang increased and the housing prices became higher and higher. Even in this imperial street, most of the houses were given away. Passing by, It is easy to meet the purple-robed and scarlet-robed official who can guide the country in the main hall.
Therefore, there are dedicated guards in charge of the street patrols here.
The person who stuck her head out saw the Jin Yiwei carrying a lantern riding past, and subconsciously retracted her head to look at the young man in red short shirt behind her.
"Brother, do you really want to leave here today?"
Behind her, the young man in red short shirt was hanging some baggage on the horse, then he picked up a long sword and hung it on his waist.
"Didn't I say that I can just go back by myself..."
The girl in a purple shirt stuck out her tongue. She also had some luxurious accessories on her clothes, which made her look noble now.
"Since you're leaving, what's the point of keeping me here... But if we just leave without saying goodbye, isn't it a bit..."
The young man in red shirt just smiled and led the horse away. When he saw that there was no one else outside the alley, he walked out openly.
"If you leave like this, you won't have so much trouble... It's very nice here. You can actually stay here. There's no need to go back to Jianlu with me."
The girl in purple behind him just ignored his words, also led her mount, followed him out, and then carefully closed the small door.
"Am I, Lu Linxuan, someone who covets wealth?"
Li Xingyun smiled, and without getting on his horse, he took the reins and walked out of the alley.
The two walked out of the imperial street one after another. The long street was very clean. The smell of morning fireworks had begun to fill the air. Noisy sounds were heard from the neighbors in the distance. The aroma of various foods began to float in the air.
The two of them were walking side by side, leading their horses. As they walked out of the Royal Street, the atmosphere of the peaceful life of the people became more intense. A woman came out of the street with a child in her arms and walked toward the market in a familiar manner.
After a while, vegetables from outside will be delivered for them to choose and buy.
There are also steaming bun shops at specific locations on both sides of the street, and business is starting to come to them.
There was a poet who was still drunk, slumped on a table on the side of the street, muttering unclear poems from time to time. The wine jar was placed at his feet, with a little crystal clear dew gathering on the jar.
All kinds of sounds are mixed together, and compared with places outside Guanzhong, it feels like a world away.
Everyone's face was filled with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, and every passerby who passed by in a hurry seemed to have endless energy. The two of them walked out of the inner city, as if they had seen real fireworks in the world. Countless scenes of abundance…
Lu Linxuan seemed to be thinking about something, he just lowered his head and led the horse slowly. Li Xingyun pursed his lips and kept looking at these scenes with his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
But in just one month, Luoyang City has become more lively.
From the Imperial Street through the inner city to the southern city gate, the sky was already completely bright, and there were more and more pedestrians. The tall Imperial Guards soldiers on the distant city gate stood upright in armor facing the light, looking extremely majestic and strong.
Li Xingyun thought about it in his mind and couldn't remember the last time he saw such a scene.
It seems that he has never seen such majestic soldiers since Li Huan took him wandering. They all seemed to be very proud, with their chests and heads held high, and even their eyes were sharp and gentle.
Elsewhere, Li Xingyun has only seen soldiers whose eyes seemed to be thinking about how to blackmail the people at any time. Those people did not intend to be soldiers, and they had no intention of protecting their homes and country.
Perhaps only by seeing this scene of people living in peace can we truly understand what their soldiers are protecting.
What is dissatisfying is that in the territories of the princes of the world, there are very few scenes like Luoyang City... In fact, every village in Guanzhong has the illusion of a paradise when placed elsewhere.
Li Xingyun hesitated for a moment. He looked at the thick street floor under his feet and suddenly felt a little nostalgic for this place.
At this time, Lu Linxuan's voice suddenly sounded.
"Brother, look!"
Li Xingyun raised his head and was stunned for a moment. I saw at the city gate in the distance, although people were coming and going, there was also a silver-haired young man wearing a black Confucian shirt, followed by several royal guards, holding a folding fan in his hand and shaking it slightly, while looking at this side with a smile.
Lu Linxuan was very surprised and looked at Li Xingyun hesitantly.
"Are we still going there..."
Li Xingyun frowned, then led his horse and strode forward.
Lu Linxuan looked at the silver-haired young man opposite who had become familiar with his senior brother in recent days, thought for a moment, and followed him.
Although the passers-by were coming and going, a few guards in Jinyi standing astride their swords stood there, a little frightened, and walked around to the side.
Although the reputation of Jinyiwei has not yet been established, when Li Jing was still the king of Qin, Jinyiwei was responsible for all the house confiscations, especially those from the prefectures and counties that had come from Fengxiang all the way to the east. After they settled down in Guanzhong, they also investigated Many corrupt officials and ruthless officials have emerged. These people, who are like the emperor's personal guards, can be seen everywhere in Guanzhong. They are all dressed in rich clothes, which makes people feel inexplicably afraid.
"Brother Zifan, what are you..."
Li Xingyun led the horse and strode over with Lu Linxuan. With a little doubt in his tone, he looked at Zhang Zifan, who was standing there holding a folding fan with a blank look on his face.
Zhang Zifan laughed, and did not look at the soft baggage on Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan's respective mounts. He just folded the folding fan and arched his hands slightly.
"Your Highness King Xin, your Majesty has been waiting on the tower for a long time."
Lu Linxuan was startled and looked at Li Xingyun. He could clearly see that her senior brother was also slightly stunned.
"The Holy One said that King Xin would not be able to keep him after all, but he had to give it away when he left. Perhaps the story of the city tower will help King Xin stay in Guanzhong..."
Zhang Zifan feels quite confident. As someone who often follows Li Jing, his status has naturally increased. He is now the prince of the country and the youngest purple-robed official in the court today.
It is worth mentioning that when Li Jing ascended the throne, there were also highly respected and highly respected heavenly masters from up and down Longhu Mountain.
Li Xingyun pursed his lips and subconsciously looked towards the tower, and then saw Zhang Zifan reaching forward to guide him.
"King Xin, please."
