The summer is hot and the heat waves are common.
On the official road, which is still more than ten miles away from the big city of Zhongjing, there are stretches of farmland and fruit trees on both sides, as well as scattered wasteland.
There are farmers working and children playing nearby, and there are villages sitting in the distance with smoke curling up from cooking stoves.
The caravan with guards along the way, and the escort team with the merchants carrying goods all the way, are walking on the official road one after another.
"Be careful. After passing this village, there are two wild forests ahead."
"No, that's not the case. We are about to arrive at Zhongjing City. Are there still thieves under Emperor Jing's feet?"
"Haha, don't say we haven't entered the city yet. Even after entering the city, at the root of the imperial city and at the corner of the Yuhe River, there are still people robbing us of money and sex."
"Ah? There are strangers in the city. Can't we catch some little thieves?"
"Everyone is responsible for his own business. There are millions of people in Zhongjing. Can the big shots take care of trivial matters?"
In the caravan, several guards were taciturn and remained vigilant. There were only a few old merchants who were regular merchants and were extremely excited to educate their young apprentices who came to Zhongjing for the first time.
The atmosphere in the escort team is much more lively. They are not afraid of petty thieves, but if they are close to Zhongjing, the Zhenyi Division will take action if someone commits a crime.
The Yisi in Zhongjing Town is different from the Yisi in the local town. So far, I have never heard of any stranger getting away unscathed after committing a crime in Zhongjing.
Therefore, the escort team felt more at ease and were already discussing which restaurant in the capital would be more relaxing, safe and enjoyable after this escort encounter.
"How about going to Fenghua Building? I heard that the girls in the building, even the maids who serve tea and water, are all good after they go out!"
"It costs a lot of money to enter Fenghua Building. The profit you make from escorting this time will probably only allow you to sleep in the lobby of Fenghua Building for one night."
"Hahaha!"
"I don't expect to sleep with the girl in Fenghua Building, but it's okay to go in and see some people and have a drink, right?"
"No problem, of course there is no problem, but Fenghua Building is also a famous brand in Zhongjingxiang Street. There are many princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and immortals. Just because you like to act drunk and crazy when you are drunk, Do you really want to go?"
"Well... let's forget it..."
"Let's go to Qiaoyue Tower. That's where we should go. The girls there are also very charming, the buns are big, and the legs are strong. I guarantee you won't be able to get out of bed the next day."
"Hahaha!"
Several escorts and riders were laughing loudly when they heard the regular sound of horse hooves behind them. Looking back, they saw a gorgeous carriage approaching calmly.
There are two horses in front of the car, both of which are pure white, with not a single hair on their bodies. They have tall frames and elegant horses. The only black color on their bodies is the pair of eyes that reveal some intelligence.
The carriage behind the white horse is eight feet wide and one foot long. The whole body is made of golden nanmu. It has fine reliefs, cloud patterns and wind marks, and the silk curtain is fluttering. It is a beautiful silk brocade.
The entire carriage is both magnificent and luxurious, and elegant. Moreover, on the uneven official road, the four wheels are up and down, but the overall carriage is extremely stable. Even if you put a bowl of water on the carriage, it will not spill. come out.
"Good guy, whose prince and noble son are traveling here? The coachmen all look like scholars who have read poetry and books?" a driver exclaimed.
In front of the carriage, the driver was a young scholar wearing a green robe, with handsome features. He was holding the reins in one hand and a riding crop in the other, as if he was not driving a horse, but sitting on a recliner at home, giving him a sense of leisure and contentment.
"Lu Lang, drink some water."
A soft whisper sounded in the carriage. The door in front of the carriage was opened from the inside. A delicate figure leaned out half of his body and handed a delicate-looking blue and white porcelain teacup to the scholar driving the car.
The scholar took it and drank it, then returned the tea cup to the woman's hand and asked casually, "Who won?"
"Sister Ying is lucky and can often catch bombs. Sister Lingxi can't do anything about it."
The delicate figure said something, and then returned to the car, but did not close the door, but closed the curtain to block the dust.
"Good guy... that one just now is definitely not a maid. With her figure and appearance, she is even the top one in Fenghua Tower, but she is not as good as her!"
"Is that scholar either the driver or the owner of this car?"
"Tsk, tsk, you drive for beauty, you are sentimental, no wonder a beauty falls in love with you."
"I'm also willing to drive for beauty? Why aren't there any beauties who fall in love with me?"
"You? Tsk! The prerequisite for people to drive for beauty is that they have a lot of wealth, have poems and books in their belly, have good facial features, and are among the best among people. Only by delegating themselves to drive for beauty can they win the hearts of beauties.
you? If you are driving for the United States, then you are a rude driver. I think they will give you two big bucks when you get off the car. I am dying to say thank you to you. "
"Bardguard Liu, can I not even dream about hitting someone in the face?"
"Oh, it's easy to lose sight of yourself if you daydream too much. I'm doing this for your own good.
Look at the person's car, look at the person's temperament, not to mention whether the person is capable or not, the family is at least a second-grade member or above, and maybe a prince's family.
What are you dreaming about? Do you dream of having a good pregnancy in your next life? "
"..."
As he spoke, the carriage was already rushing up.
The scholar in front of the carriage glanced at the escort team as if nothing had happened. His eyes stopped for a moment on one of the escort carriages, and immediately attracted the attention of the three escorts nearby.
Seeing the three people's eyes narrowing slightly and their hands tightening, the scholar smiled slightly and didn't care. He just nodded to the three people and shook the reins vigorously.
"drive!"
The two horses raised their hooves lightly and accelerated with a "pop, pop, pop, pop", pulling the carriage, and soon surpassed the escort team and went straight forward.
The several martial arts masters in the escort team were all people with sharp ears and eyes. Following the breeze blowing from the front, they could vaguely hear a few conversations.
"I just glanced at it subconsciously, but I didn't expect those people to be quite alert."
"People who travel all over the world are the best at observing people's emotions. If you look at someone's most precious escort car with just one glance, how can they not be wary?"
"Unexpectedly, although the elixir was banned, the ban was not very strict, and there was still a trace of spiritual energy leaking out. Didn't this attract my attention, so I subconsciously took a look."
"It's just a five-hundred-year-old elixir, but it's still the most common forest leaf ginseng. What's so rare about it."
"I can make a drink anyway."
As the carriage went further and further away, several escorts in the escort team looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smack their lips.
"Master!"
"Top master!"
"He is still a top expert who is extremely rich."
"Five hundred years of spiritual ginseng is just used to make wine?"
"I'm so jealous that my teeth are sore..."
