Indeed, as Yan Qing expected, when Yan Qing arrived in Tokyo and discussed the future with Master Li, Princess Yinzhi took the gold, silver, copper and iron girl Sixia, disguised as a man, and after a few days, she also Have arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo.
However, Yinzhi and the others did not come to Tokyo city, but to Niujiazhuang in the northwest suburbs outside Tokyo city.
At this time, it was also dusk. Yinzhi and Miss Sixia arrived at Niujiazhuang and looked around for a while. They saw that Niujiazhuang was indeed better than other villages. It was a building built along the river and backed by the plains. , a large market town with about 400 to 500 households and a population of more than 10,000.
The sky gradually darkened, but the market town became more and more prosperous. On the gatehouse of a wealthy family, a red lantern has been lit up, emitting a soft red light.
Above the market town, smoke is curling up from cooking stoves, pedestrians are bustling on the street, traffic is busy, the street scene is bustling, and the whole market town is immersed in peace.
For Yinzhi and the others who had just arrived, finding someone in such a large market town where they were unfamiliar with was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Girls Yinzhi and Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron Sixia stood on the street, dumbfounded as they looked at the noisy street scene and the bustling crowds of people.
In confusion, Yinzhi looked at the gold, silver, copper and iron girl Sixia and said: "Four sisters, I originally thought Niujiazhuang was a village, but I never thought that this village is so big that it can become a market town. Such a big market town, Look, there are people everywhere, where can we go to find that guy from Yunbi?"
Hearing this, Jin Xia said: "Second Princess, it seems that looking for that guy from Yunbi is not something that can be done in a short while. The most important thing now is to take care of our stomachs first. We are hungry. Second Princess, in my opinion, let's look for him first." Let’s go to a restaurant, have a meal, and then stay there, and then slowly investigate the whereabouts of that guy in Yunbi. I don’t believe that he can still go to heaven!”
Hearing this, Yinzhi thought it made sense, so she nodded and said, "What Jin Xia said is absolutely true. Let's find a restaurant to eat first. No matter what, let's eat first before talking."
The girls from Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron Sixia all nodded and said, "Okay, Second Princess, let's find a restaurant to eat first."
Immediately, the five people walked along the street, looking for a restaurant with food and accommodation.
Niujiazhuang is a large market town close to Tokyo. Because it is close to Tokyo city and is located in a remote area, it has a beautiful environment, like a small garden on the edge of the city. Therefore, in Tokyo city, most of the wealthy families They all bought real estate in Niujiazhuang as a good place for outdoor entertainment in their free time.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, it was allowed by the law of the court to keep an outhouse. There was no need to be secretive. As long as you had money, you could do it openly and raise three wives and four concubines. For example, the famous Ximen Qingximen official had such a large family. The manor house has six wives and dozens of maids and maids.
Unlike today, monogamy is a monogamous system and one must not engage in extramarital affairs. If a man wants to find a mistress, he has to do it secretly. Once the incident comes to light, his reputation will be damaged in the least, and his life will be lost in the worst case.
Therefore, this Niujiazhuang, because it is the back garden of imperial officials and wealthy families, is prosperous and magnificent, with all kinds of buildings, halls, and restaurants, including food, drink, and entertainment. It is extremely lively and no less prosperous. On any street in Tokyo.
Girls Yinzhi and Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron Sixia suddenly entered the prosperous capital. They felt very fresh in their hearts. They were very happy along the way. They looked around and came to the door of a restaurant called "Juxian Tower".
The five people looked up and saw a banner flying, with the words "stop the horse and stay in the hotel, wash the dust and eat" written on it. Princess Yinzhi stopped. The gold, silver, copper and iron girl Sixia also stopped and looked up at the flags flying in front of the building, feeling even hungrier.
Yinzhi looked at the girls from Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron, Sixia, and they all looked tired, so he planned to have a good meal at this hotel, then check in the room, wash up and rest.
Yinzhi and Miss Sixia stood at the door of the hotel, looking up at the flag hanging in front of the building. Just as they were about to go in, the waiter ran out of the hotel and shouted loudly: "Several guests are out and sleeping in the open air. We are tired and miserable all the way. Now that we have passed through the local area, we should eat when we need to, rest when we need to rest, and recuperate our spirits before we can go on the road again. Our hotel has an inn and restaurant specially designed to welcome you and wash away the dust. Please invite a few guests to come. Let’s have a quick meal upstairs, wash up and rest.”
The waiter in the shop has a good mouth, and his words are like singing, which is very beautiful.
Hearing this, Yinzhi turned to look at Miss Sixia. Miss Sixia also nodded. Yinzhi then said to the waiter: "What the waiter said is exactly what I want! We will eat, drink and stay in your store."
When the waiter heard this, he was very happy and shouted loudly: "Guests, please come upstairs!" After singing, he stepped aside and respectfully invited Princess Yinzhi and others to enter the building.
Yinzhi took the lead in entering the building door, followed closely by Miss Sixia. The waiter followed Miss Sixia into the lobby.
There are three floors in this building. The first and second floors are restaurants and the third floor is an inn.
After Yinzhi took the lead to enter the building, he saw that the hall on the first floor was full of villagers, eating food such as clear soup and little water. After Miss Sixia entered the building, the waiter also followed.
After the waiter entered the store, he hurried up to Princess Yinzhi. Seeing that Princess Yinzhi and the gold, silver, copper and iron girl Sixia were dressed in splendid clothes, with dignified figures, extraordinary temperament, and delicate appearance, he greeted: "How many distinguished guests! Invited!"
As he spoke, he bent down, stretched out his left hand, and called the girls Yinzhi and Sixia to go upstairs.
Yinzhi took the lead and climbed up to the second floor. Miss Sixia followed closely behind and also went upstairs slowly.
Upstairs, the atmosphere is obviously different and the decoration is quite luxurious. In the middle is a hall with mahogany furniture, surrounded by private rooms and pavilions.
Yinzhi took Miss Sixia into a private room.
The waiter also came in, bent down, and asked humbly: "Guests, what would you like? We have good beef and wine."
Yinzhi was afraid that the waiter would notice that they were women, so she deliberately raised her voice and said boldly: "Waiter, my brothers are not very hungry, so you can cut two kilograms of cooked beef and make a few side dishes for them." , sieve pounds and half water bar."
When the waiter heard this, he put the towel in his hand on his shoulder and sang loudly: "Okay! Two pounds of cooked beef, a few side dishes, and half a pound of water and wine!" The waiter sang and went downstairs.
Yin Zhi and the gold, silver, copper and iron girl Sixia looked at each other and smiled, sat down on both sides, put down their daggers, took off their bags, and began to chatter.
The five people were talking. Girl Jinxia heard the voice of a man talking in the private room next to her, so she put her ear against the wall and listened carefully.
When Yinzhi and several other girls saw this, they held their breath and looked at Jinxia girl quietly.
On the other side of the wall, a man's voice said: "Your country is located in a cold frontier, isolated and far away, and you don't know much about the Central Plains. To tell the truth, it is not because the Song Dynasty did not send troops to conquer the Khitan at the agreed time. In fact, a civil uprising broke out in the south of the Yangtze River, and Fangla raised troops, which dispersed the country's strength and made it impossible for the imperial court to devote its energy to conquering Khitan. Now that the Fangla bandits have been wiped out, the imperial court will soon send a large army to attack Yanjing. The two envoys are both I was sent by your emperor to come to Liang Si to inquire about the situation. Liang Si can give a clear reply as follows: Since Liang Si represents the imperial court and has signed a maritime alliance with your Kingdom of Jin, the imperial court will definitely abide by the alliance."
Another man's voice didn't sound very familiar in Chinese, but he could still understand it: "Secretary Zhao is the person in charge of the maritime alliance between the Jin and Song Dynasties. The great emperor of our country has delayed sending troops to attack Khitan. I am very confused, so I will temporarily withdraw my troops and wait for news from your country. In fact, I don’t need to hide it. With the power of our country alone, it is not a problem at all to destroy the Khitan. It is just because we have signed an alliance with your country, so I have to be cautious. . I invite you to the restaurant privately today because I want to ask you privately, what is your country’s plan? If your country sends troops, it will send troops. If not, our country will no longer abide by the agreement that neither side can cross the Great Wall and send troops. Go south and capture Khitan Yanjing and Xijing. By then, the agreement between the two parties to return the sixteen states of Yanyun to your country may not be counted."
The voice of the man before said: "This is absolutely not allowed! Since Song and Jin have signed an alliance, it is better to abide by the alliance. At present, the army that conquered Fangla is on its way back to victory. Once it returns to Beijing, it will be slightly prepared and will be ready. Go north to attack the Liao Dynasty. Please ask two envoys to tell your great emperor that we will definitely maintain the alliance."
"..."
Girl Jinxia didn't understand the meaning of Jin and Khitan, but she understood the general meaning of the conversation next door. It was an official from the imperial court named Zhao who held the position of secretary-general, who was discussing with the people of Jin about jointly attacking Khitan.
Jinxia hurriedly whispered to Yinzhi what she heard.
Na Yinzhi had a deep hatred for the Song Dynasty because her parents and younger brother were killed by the court, and her sister Jinzhi was forced to hang herself. However, Princess Yinzhi has no favorable impression of the Khitan and Jin people, who are foreigners.
After hearing what Jin Xia said, Yin Zhi pondered for a while and decided to play tricks on the Song traitor and the Jin man in the next box. Then she said to the gold, silver, copper and iron girl Sixia: "According to what Jin Xia heard, it must be Song Zhi." A traitor is definitely not doing anything good. Sisters, although we have a deep hatred for the imperial court, we cannot tolerate collusion between imperial officials and foreign invaders. Why don't we finish our meal quickly, lure them out, and fight Give them a good beating, humiliate them, and see what kind of kung fu this Song traitor and Jin Kou are!"
Gold, silver, copper, iron and Sixia girls are all at a playful age. Before that, in the Qingxi Gang Yuandong Fangla Palace, Miss Sixia often served as the bodyguard of Princess Yinzhi. She often practiced martial arts with Yinzhi. She also followed Yinzhi and participated in some battles symbolically. He is very capable, so he just thinks of how to make trouble. Therefore, after listening to Yinzhi's words, they all nodded and said hello.
At this moment, they were eagerly waiting for the waiter to bring their food. Fortunately, after eating, they gathered enough energy to beat up Song Jie and Jin Ren next to them.
