Suizhou is in Shu. It starts from Guangdu City and goes southwest along Dongyu Road. It takes about a month. Now Hua Yitang has been promoted to an official, and he is accompanied by the Secretary of Dali Temple. The officials and postmen are all of the best quality. Horses, the journey time was shortened by 30%, and we hurried slowly and finally arrived at the border of Suizhou in early September.
In September in Sichuan, it is so humid that water can be squeezed out of clothes. When you take a breath, most of your lungs are filled with water vapor. Lin Sui'an lived in the north before crossing over and was used to being dry. Now that he can't get any sunlight, his face feels wrinkled by the air and his eyelids are moldy and can't be opened. When he arrived at the inn, he went straight to the wing.
The quilt at the inn was also damp, and lying on it looked like a salted fish wrapped in plastic wrap. Lin Sui'an tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply climbed out of the window and jumped onto the roof. The post station has a double-slope roof. The front slope and the ridge are curved and roll to the back slope. You can lie on it with the tiles supporting your back. It is quite comfortable. It is most suitable for lying down and drying salted fish.
The wind was also tidal, but at least it was cooler than during the day. Lin Sui'an felt a little more comfortable and took a long breath, "Huh——"
"call--"
There was also a faint sound of breathing coming from the direction of the back slope, which sounded familiar.
Lin Sui'an lay down on the ridge and took a look. Ling Zhiyan was slumped on the tiles like her, with her hands and feet stretched straight like a clothes rack strung with bamboo poles.
They are both fallen people from the end of the world, Lin Sui Anxin said. The handsome guy Ling has been living in Dongdu. It seems that he has been tortured by the humidity of Shu. Listening to his breathing, he must have fallen asleep.
Lin Sui'an couldn't bear to be disturbed and lay back down again. When he was drowsy, he suddenly heard the rustling of tiles under his feet. When he opened his eyes, he saw Hua Yitang climbing up the ladder with his robe in hand, trembling. He stepped on the tiles and came to her side, then slipped out and lay down.
Lin Sui'an: "What are you doing?"
Hua Yitang glanced at the back slope of the roof where Ling Zhiyan was, trying to cover up the situation: "I can't sleep either, so I want to come out for some air."
"..."
Okay, as long as you are happy.
Lin Sui'an closed his eyes again.
But in less than half a cup of tea, the tiles under the feet rang again. This time the people who climbed up were Jin Ruo, Yita, and Bingsi, Bing14, Bing20, and Bing34, all lined up. , all slumped on the roof, it really became a drying ground for salted fish.
Lin Sui'an couldn't bear it anymore, "What are you doing again?"
Jin Ruo: "Hua can't sleep, and I can't sleep either."
Ita: "Pigman can't sleep, Shiro can't sleep, Brother Jin can't sleep, and I can't sleep either."
Person B44: “Can’t sleep.”
Lin Sui'an: "..."
That's enough for you! Who is responsible if the roof of the inn collapses?
Probably because Lin Sui'an's plaintive eyes were too obvious, Hua Yitang sat up, coughed twice in embarrassment, and found a topic, "Yidu is rich, it is the ancient capital of three dynasties, and the power is chaotic, so Hua thought——"
Speaking of this, Hua Yitang suddenly stopped, as if he heard something. Lin Sui'an heard Ling Zhiyan's breathing disappear, and he was probably woken up.
Jin Ruo: "What do you think?"
Hua Yitang smiled, "Hua thought I was going to have a powerful and loud nickname!"
Everyone: Huh?
The tiles on the back slope of the roof rattled together. After a while, Ling Zhiyan climbed over the ridge of the roof and sat down with a look of helplessness on her face. She was still squeezing her shoulder with one hand, as if her neck tendrils had been hurt by someone's incoherent remarks.
"Silang's words must have a profound meaning, and Ling is willing to hear the details."
Ling Si straightened up and sat down here. Everyone had no choice but to sit up. The entire roof suddenly turned into a temporary overtime meeting place.
Lin Sui'an was miserable inside, thinking that the handsome guy Ling was too serious, and that Hua Yitang had some deep meaning, and most likely wanted to change his posture and act like a monster.
"The one who knows me is Liu Lang!" Hua Yitang said with a smile, "Although the Su family in Suizhou has not been as good as before in recent years, it has been operating in Yidu for more than a hundred years and has quite a foundation. Although the Hua family has a family stationed in Yidu, But the power is far inferior to that of Yangdu. In addition to the Su family and the Hua family, there are more than ten rising stars in Yidu, but none of them are good candidates. The current Yidu is, at best, a hundred schools of thought contending for beauty, but at worst, it is chaos among clans."
Lin Sui'an: "In other words, the Hua family doesn't have much advantage in Yidu?"
Hua Yitang nodded, "Originally, the various forces were trying to restrain each other and were able to achieve a delicate balance. But now the saint has ordered Hua to serve as a judicial officer in Yidu Prefecture and join the army. This has pushed the Hua family to the forefront."
Lin Sui'an looked at Ling Zhiyan, "Could it be that the saint has some profound meaning?"
Ling Zhiyan coughed dryly and said, "Ling doesn't dare to guess the holy will without authorization."
Hua Yitang raised his eyebrows, "I can guess a little bit."
Jin Ruo: "What is it?"
"The secret must not be revealed."
Jin Ruo rolled his eyes.
Hua Yitang looked solemn, "So Hua speculates that when we enter Yidu, there will be tough battles everywhere!"
Everyone nodded.
Ita raised his hand: "Why do you want to make a name for yourself?"
"Does this need to be said?" Hua Yitang shook his fan, "What matters in group fights is momentum. When the two armies confront each other and call for battle, and sign up for each other and yell at each other, if there is no one to suppress it, Isn’t it embarrassing to live in a mixed bag?!”
Everyone: "..."
What is all this mess?
Lin Sui'an: She thought "tough battle" was a metaphor, but she didn't expect it to be a verb.
Jin Ruo: "They are all respectable nobles, right?"
Hua Yitang chuckled and said, "Little Jin Ruo, you don't understand. Don't look at those wealthy nobles who behave like dogs on weekdays. They open their mouths about benevolence and righteousness but shut up about morality. They have a bunch of bullshit rules for sitting, lying and walking. They wish they could sleep with family rules every day. If they move, To be honest, the more aristocratic the family, the more vulgar and shameless they are, and it will definitely turn into group fights in the end."
Everyone: "..."
Although I really want to refute it, looking back on several major cases in Yangdu, Dongdu and Cheng County, it was really "group fights" that ultimately determined the outcome...
"Not only do I have to change my name, but Bingsi, Bing14, Bing24, and Bing34 also need to change their names." Hua Yitang said with his hands on his hips, "The names of the four of you are awkward to pronounce and lack momentum. It’s really not suitable for actual combat.”
Bingsi and the other four people tilted their heads: "Awe?"
I have to say that Hua Yitang really hit the mark this time.
When they rescued the four Bingsi people from the secret vault of Longshen Temple, the four people had lost their consciousness and could not speak clearly when they woke up. No one knew their original names. For the sake of convenience, they named them according to their name tags. They called the four people by their code names. Now that I think about it, if we really encounter any battle scene in the future, dozens of people from the opposite side will rush forward and shout "C-4, C-14, C-24, C-34, go ahead." !”
Not only does it sound unlucky, but more importantly, it doesn't even sound like a person's name.
Ita nodded repeatedly, "Shiro has a point. Pigman, give me a name."
Lin Sui'an: "Me?"
The four Bings all looked over and said, "Lord Qianjing, give me a name."
Lin Sui'an felt a lot of pressure. She was a complete waste of names. She thought hard for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, and she blurted out, "How about the dynasty's mahan, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu?"
There was dead silence.
Eta looked away silently, while Hua Yitang scratched his head with a fan and muttered out "It rhymes" after a long while.
Jin Ruo was the most honest, "Master, these four names are too tacky."
Lin Sui'an argued vigorously: "How vulgar is it? How powerful it is to shout it out!"
For the first time, a vivid human expression appeared on the stiff faces of the four Bings: I feel so disgusted.
"Ahem, that -" the kind-hearted Ling Zhiyan came to the rescue, "Qianjing is refined from Tianmang Stone, which contains the power of stars. Since the four of them were rescued by Mrs. Lin, it is more appropriate to use the name of stars. Tian There are twenty-eight constellations, divided into four palaces: east, west, north and south. Why don’t we just change their names—" I looked at Bing 4, Bing 14, Bing 24, and Bing 34 in turn, "How about Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, and Xuanwu?"
These four names have been overused for a long time, and they are more vulgar and easy to criticize.
Lin Sui'an was very unhappy and lowered his face, "You four can choose for yourselves."
The four of them looked at Lin Sui'an, then at Ling Zhiyan, and clasped their fists in turn.
Bing 4: "Blue Dragon."
Chapter 14: "Suzaku."
B24: "White Tiger."
B34: "Xuanwu."
The four of them said in unison: "Thank you for giving me your name."
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Everyone turned their heads to suppress their laughter. Ling Zhiyan looked embarrassed and shouted "acceptance" repeatedly.
Lin Sui'an burst into tears in his heart: What a gap between the times! This era simply cannot understand the great connotation of these four names that will last forever. What a tragedy!
The closer he got to Yidu, the hotter he became. Even if he didn't move, he was still covered in sweat. Lin Sui'an felt that the impurities in his pores were washed out by the sweat, and his skin became better.
Hua Yitang was originally white, but now it is so white that it almost reflects light, making her eyes look darker and brighter, and her clothes are getting thinner. There is a lot of water-purifying gauze left to use as a coercion when pretending to be the flower god, and now it can be used It was put to great use, and Mu Xia cut it into an "advanced version of Youshuang Mandi Shirt" according to the standard of "Youshuang Mandi Shirt" and named it "Yunshou Xuesan".
The pure water gauze feels cold on the body. It has seven layers, each layer is as thin as a cicada's wing. When overlapped, the color is almost frost. It moves without wind and does not touch the body when walking. Wearing it on the body seems to be carrying three layers of snow. It is also paired with "East Wind Tears Begonia" The incense becomes more refreshing.
Ever since he changed the equipment, Lin Sui'an would come close to Hua Yitang to enjoy the cool air whenever he had something to do. Hua Yitang felt even more proud.
The complete opposite of Hua Yitang is Ling Zhiyan. No matter day or night, on the road or resting, as long as Lord Ling Sizhi appears in front of everyone, he must be dressed neatly and meticulously. Even if his back is soaked with sweat, his collar must be half-breathable, and Determined not to change into the light gown provided by Mu Xia, she held on for five or six days and finally fainted from heat stroke. She just stuffed three large black heat-relieving balls into her body and finally recovered.
Ling Zhiyan's persistence in dressing finally gave way to Dr. Fang's bitter pills. She put on a thin shirt and sat by the window. When the wind blew by, her cuffs and collar fluttered slightly, and she could see her delicate and white skin, which was quite charming. The wind of abstinence | Unfortunately, before Lin Sui'an could take a second look, Ling Zhiyan was dragged out of the carriage by Hua Yitang, buckled the big power fence, and rode forward.
Ever since, until they arrived in Yidu City, Lin Sui'an had no chance to see Ling Da's handsome man under his collar, which was a pity.
Following the official road and passing the boundary monument of "Suizhou Yidu", and then walking thirty miles up the mountain road, you suddenly see a clear view of two sparkling rivers winding through the mountains. The place surrounded by the two rivers is the "Yang Yi Yi Two Guang" of the Tang Dynasty. Yidu in "Not Convinced".
Yidu City is located in the center of Sichuan. There are four mountains as rivers, and Yicheng lies among them. It is shaped like a turtle, has a humid climate and is shrouded in mist. Thousands of miles of fertile fields, it was the largest grain-producing area in the Tang Dynasty. The city was divided into 15 districts with fifty-six lanes, Yacheng three lanes, and Luocheng fifty-three lanes. It had a permanent population of 500,000 and was rich in products. Shu brocade and Shu paper were famous all over the world. It is known as "the beauty of mountains and rivers, the beauty of Luo Jin".
There are two big rivers outside the city, the one in the north is called Qingyuan, and the one in the south is Jianjiang. The two rivers meet at Hejiang Pavilion on the southeastern outskirts of the city, forming a surging force.
There are seven city gates in Yidu. The Daxuan Gate in the north and the Wanli Bridge Gate in the south have the largest flow of people, especially the Wanli Bridge Gate, which can be directly connected to the south gate of the government office and has the most convenient transportation.
To enter the Wanli Bridge Gate, you must first cross the Wanli Bridge. To cross the Wanli Bridge, you must first pass through Xinnan City.
"There are four large-scale fixed markets in Yidu City, the East Market, the South City, the West City, and the North City. In recent years, due to the rapid development of the market, a new Nan City was set up outside the southern suburbs. A large number of passing merchants All transactions are completed in Xinnan City, eliminating the trouble of entering the city." Jin·Tangguo Map·Ruo was riding a horse, pointing his whip to the front and said, "No, it's just ahead."
Lin Sui'an leaned out of the car window and looked around. He saw tents, simple houses, barbarians, Fusang people, cannibals, camels, horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, donkey carts, and human-drawn carts all crowded together. Square characters in Tang dialect and Persian writing fluttered on various flags and flags, Taoist priests walked among the crowd carrying baskets, monks carried burdens to sell vegetables, the smell of camel dung and horse dung filled the sky, and four or five Kunlun slaves carried big red wine jars. After walking over, Fang Ke sneezed four times in a row and waved away the camels that were peeping in front of the car window. The Persian caravan next to him knocked over the clay pots containing spices. The exotic fragrance instantly overwhelmed the smell of horse manure. Son, Lin Sui'an thought of Eta's hell-flavored tea.
Mu Xia hung the Yangdu Hua Clan's unique golden bell on the carriage, which jingled, jingling, and jingling. Hua Yitang rode a tall horse. Although it was not the Hua Clan's specialty pearl horse, it was still white and flawless. He wore a Dressed in white, with a large power fence on his head, he looked as white as an undyed alien among the colorful crowd. The Hu caravans and the Tang caravans looked sideways, whispered to each other, and they all obviously recognized the Hua clan emblem. The eyes were wandering around Hua Yitang. Some people stopped to watch, some were interested, and some were very disdainful. Under the attention of everyone, he magically made a way.
After walking for half an hour, we finally came out of the market. The road ahead was clear, revealing a wide stone bridge, ten feet long and four feet wide, which could accommodate six two-track carriages traveling side by side. A monument was erected in front of the bridge. "Wanli Bridge", under the bridge is the surging Jianjiang River, and behind the bridge is the prosperous and beautiful Yidu City.
At this moment, the crowd in front suddenly dispersed in an uproar, revealing a team of horses, about ten or so, all of which were fat brown horses. The people on the horses were dressed in brocade clothes and colorful belts, and they were clanging towards Hua Yitang. The white horse he was riding passed towards him.
The leader was a man in his thirties, with a slightly bulging belly, two mustaches, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a face as tender as tofu. He seemed to have thorns on his buttocks. He swung to the left to take a look, and shook his head. He turned to the right and took a look. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he clasped his fists and said, "The person coming is Shiro Yangduhua?!"
Hua Yitang pulled the reins of the horse and raised the fence with his fan, "Oh shit, which grandson are you? Don't you know that a good dog doesn't block the road?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence all around. The honest and responsible Ling Sizhi suddenly became anxious and hurriedly rode to Hua Yitang's side, saying in a low voice, "I don't know the identity of the person who came here, so don't stir up trouble——"
Unexpectedly, before they finished speaking, they saw the group of men dismounting from their horses at the same time, lifting their robes, kneeling, and kowtowing, "What Fourth Grandpa taught me is that it was my grandsons who were rude, so I will kowtow to Fourth Grandpa to apologize!"
small theater
Hua Yitang: Oh, you are pretending to be a grandson.
Ling Zhiyan: What the hell? :,,
