On the wide official road, various carriages were galloping towards Rongcheng.
In the carriage of the little princess Anping of Daxia Kingdom, Su Yunfei, Yueyao, and the little princess were chatting happily.
The little princess's carriage is indeed extraordinary. From the appearance, it is a little more luxurious than the carriages of ordinary wealthy families, but the space inside the carriage is not comparable to that of ordinary people's carriages.
The little princess's carriage actually used the magical power of Xumina Mustard Seed, and the internal space was as big as three houses. It seemed that the royal family of Daxia Kingdom still had a very deep background.
Although she is a princess of a country, the furnishings inside are very simple. A large phoenix bed, an ink painting by a secular master, a row of screens embroidered with pictures of ladies separate the space, and there are several princess items in a wardrobe. In daily clothes, a pot of daffodils is about to bloom, and a stick of sandalwood is burning, filling the air with a delicate fragrance, refreshing the heart and mind.
There is a square table with fruits and scented tea on it. There are three people sitting next to the table, Su Yunfei, Yueyao, and the little princess.
The three people told each other all kinds of interesting things about the mountains.
The carriage was filled with laughter and laughter,
The person who drove them was an old man who was unsmiling.
Su Yunfei sensed that this old man was definitely a monk no lower than the Venerable Mirror, because he felt a dangerous aura in this old man.
In fact, if you think about it, you will understand how it is possible that the favorite little princess of the great Xia Emperor could travel through mountains and rivers without the protection of powerful monks.
Moreover, Su Yunfei also sensed that several powerful men with terrifying auras were secretly protecting the little princess. From this, it can be seen that the emperor doted on the little princess.
Because the carriage was decorated with talismans, it was much faster than ordinary carriages. In less than an hour and a half, they arrived at the gate of Rongcheng.
As the largest city in southern Daxia, Rongcheng has a population of five million.
It is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is the seat of Rongcheng Prefecture and the offices of various prefectures. It is also the residence of various dignitaries and wealthy merchants.
The outer city is divided into four cities: east, west, north and south.
Dongcheng is a trading market for commodities from all over the country and is also the main venue for this temple fair.
Nancheng is an inn street. Most foreign tourists or caravans choose to stay in Nancheng temporarily.
Beicheng is the night city and the only city without curfew.
Xicheng is more of a land of fireworks and willow alleys, and southern women are more gentle. Therefore, many tourists or businessmen from the north always like to go to Xicheng to look for flowers and spend a lot of money.
The entire city of Chengdu is fifty miles wide from east to west and eighty miles long from north to south. The city is well-proportioned, with wide streets and rows of houses.
Smoked willow painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, there are hundreds of thousands of homes.
Clouds and trees surround the embankment and sand, the city is lined with pearls, and the households are filled with beautiful flowers.
A poet from the previous dynasty once wrote a poem praising Rongcheng. The poem said:
Good rain knows the season, when spring is here.
Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently.
The wild paths are all dark with clouds, but the river boats are only bright with fire.
Look at the red and wet place at dawn, the flowers are heavy on the official city.
In particular, the sentence "Looking at the red and wet places at dawn, the flowers are blooming in Guancheng" has attracted countless people to be fascinated by Chengdu.
------
Why does the Chengdu Temple Fair attract so many people from all directions and come from thousands of miles away?
The reasons are not only that Rongcheng is the largest city in the south of Daxia, but also its temple fair scale, commodity trading types, and entertainment fun.
None of them can be compared with other cities, and only the Daxia Capital Temple Fair can compare with it.
In addition, Daxia has restrictions on the trading of some commodities, such as some official kiln porcelain, jade, silk, fine salt, etc.
Temple fairs will relax restrictions in the past few days, but they will strictly stipulate a certain number of transactions, which attracts many merchants or wealthy people to buy. If you can't buy it this time, you have to wait for another year.
There are also special products from the north that are sold on a large scale during temple fairs.
The most attractive thing is that the acrobatic troupes from the Western Regions will definitely come to the annual Chengdu Temple Fair, and the well-known drama troupes from all over Xia Kingdom will also come.
Therefore, the Rongcheng Temple Fair has become an annual grand event in southern Daxia, attracting tourists from all over the world, including men, women, and children. Even many monks will go down the mountain to visit temple fairs and experience the various aspects of the world.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Dongcheng. The city wall of Dongcheng was twenty feet high, with two large characters engraved on it: Rongcheng.
The city gate passage is more than three feet long and twenty feet wide, enough for ten carriages to go forward side by side.
Su Yunfei had never seen such a magnificent city wall before, and was stunned for a moment. The little princess looked at him with disgust and said in a knowledgeable tone: "This city wall is not huge. You haven't seen it before." Once you cross the city walls of the capital, you will see true grandeur.”
Su Yunfei touched his head embarrassedly.
They handed the carriage to the driver, and then the three of them started into the city,
People on the street are passing each other, bustling, the sounds of bargaining for shopping, the shouts of selling, the sound of gongs and drums, and the cheers of the audience are combined together,
There are huge crowds of people, all kinds of strange clothes, and people of all skin colors abound.
Yueyao and the little princess Anping were particularly excited, especially the little princess Anping. She said excitedly: "I like this lively place so much. In the palace, my father is busy with government affairs every day, and my mother and concubine have no time to accompany me. The emperor Brother, the royal sisters don’t play with me much because of their respective mothers and concubines, and the palace maids and guards are all afraid of me. Although the palace is big, it’s deserted, so it’s better to be here!”
Yueyao touched her little head,
She resisted several times when Yue Yao touched her head, but to no avail she accepted her fate and got used to it.
Then the three of them walked to a place where there were a lot of onlookers. It turned out that there were all kinds of items on the ground. Each item was at a certain distance. Someone used a bamboo ring to throw the items from a distance. As long as they could If you catch it just right, you can get it.
There were people who came with hope and returned disappointed. They watched for half a quarter of an hour, and only one young man got a small wooden doll.
A young man in brocade clothes said dissatisfied: "Boss! Your ring is too small, the items are so big, and it is so far away. You are purely lying. I have spent five taels of silver. Nothing was caught." The beautiful woman next to him also showed dissatisfaction with the boss.
The onlookers also agreed with the man in robes, but the boss was still smiling and did not respond.
The beautiful woman shook the arm of the man in brocade clothes and said coquettishly with pitiful eyes: "Master, why don't you give me another tael of silver? I particularly like that purple gold ball."
The man complained helplessly: "I don't want to play anymore. I can't get it at all. I can just buy it for you." After saying that, he asked the boss to buy the purple gold ball.
The boss said cheerfully: "Everything on the ground is not for sale, unless you can use a bamboo ring to trap it!"
Just when the man grabbed the woman and turned to leave,
Little Princess Anping pulled Su Yunfei's sleeve and said, "Little Yunfei, please help me circle that porcelain doll. It's so cute."
Su Yunfei didn't want to play this at first, because when he was a child, he went to temple fairs with his parents and he always failed. But when the little princess said it, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he bought a bamboo ring for one tael of silver. This bamboo ring is really not cheap. Only ten taels of silver.
Su Yunfei took out a bamboo hoop, glanced at the porcelain doll, estimated the distance, and then threw it out in a beautiful arc. When he was about to land perfectly on the top of the porcelain doll's head, suddenly the bamboo hoop was at an invisible angle. It passed over the head of the porcelain doll and fell to the ground.
Everyone watching nervously sighed at the same time. They thought they were sure of it, but in the end they still didn't make it. The man in brocade also looked disappointed and didn't want to continue reading.
Su Yunfei narrowed his eyes slightly. He noticed that there was a faint disturbance from the engine just now. He glanced at the boss calmly and said in his heart: "I originally wanted to use mortal means, but in the end you used a monk's engine. No more pretending. I Let’s show off, I’m actually a monk.”
I saw him taking out another bamboo ring and throwing it at the porcelain doll. The bamboo ring landed perfectly on the head of the porcelain doll. Everyone exclaimed, and the man in brocade clothes who had turned away came back and looked at Su Yunfei in surprise. The boss also looked at Su Yunfei with incredible suspicion.
Yueyao and Princess Anping shouted excitedly: "Little Yunfei is awesome!" Then they happily hugged the porcelain doll that the boss reluctantly brought,
Next, Su Yunfei collected the items that Princess Yao and Princess Anping liked for a few months. The boss looked as if he had eaten a dead mouse.
At this time, the man in jinyi walked up to Su Yunfei, cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "Brother, what a great trick! Can you help the purple and gold ball in the next circle? I will definitely be grateful."
Su Yunfei waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's easy to talk!"
When he was about to throw the bamboo hoop, the boss sent a message: "Sir, it's almost enough. This is a small business and I can't stand your troubles."
Su Yunfei said in a tit-for-tat voice: "You have to be conscientious when doing business. You use monks' methods to defraud ordinary people. Don't you think it is a shame to the monks?" Without waiting for the boss's reply, he directly started to face Zijin with the bamboo ring. Throw the ball.
Suddenly, the bamboo circle stopped above the purple gold ball. It turned out that the boss used a steam engine to cause the bamboo circle to fall. Su Yunfei flicked his finger when he saw this, and the bamboo circle fell down with a sound, successfully completing the circle. Everyone shouted, and the man in brocade also shouted: "Okay!"
The boss's face was livid, he stared at Su Yunfei and said fiercely: "Since you don't know how to praise, let's wait and see."
After that, he threw the purple gold ball to Su Yunfei,
Then he said to everyone: "I'm sorry, I have something to do at the moment. That's it for today!" Then the boss quickly packed up his things and left.
Su Yunfei didn't pay too much attention to his boss's words.
Because everyone couldn't hear the two people's voices, they didn't understand what happened.
The spectators dispersed one after another. The man in brocade looked at Su Yunfei and said with a smile, "Brother, can I part ways with you?"
Su Yunfei smiled, and then handed the purple gold ball to the hand of the beautiful woman next to the man in brocade. The woman's eyes were full of joy.
The man in brocade clothes bowed and said gratefully: "My Excellency Zhuge Feng, a native of Hangzhou,
Next to me is my wife Li Xuan'er. If my brother has a chance to go to Hangzhou, he can go to Zhuge's house to find me. I will definitely do my best to be a landlord. Dare I ask my brother’s surname? "
Su Yunfei also returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "My Su Yunfei, if you have the opportunity to go to Hangzhou, I will definitely bother you."
The two held each other's fists and parted.
Seeing Zhuge Feng go away, the little princess of Anping whispered: "The Zhuge family is the first family in Hangzhou and is very powerful in the entire Qiantang County. If you go to Qiantang County in the future and mention Zhuge Feng's name, you will really be embarrassed. Let’s go.”
Su Yunfei shook his head and smiled: "I just helped him by the way, and I don't care who he is.
But I do have the idea of practicing swordsmanship in the world of mortals, and I might travel to Hangzhou.
I'll have to wait until I get to the Venerable Mirror. "
Yue Yao smiled and said: "When the time comes, let's practice swordsmanship together in the world of mortals."
Su Yunfei laughed loudly.
------
Zhuge Feng was walking, when suddenly his body froze.
He muttered to himself: "Su Yunfei? Could it be him! Regardless of his body shape, temperament and age, he is the same as the talented young man from Shushan Sword Tomb who has recently become famous."
Then he raised his head sharply and turned around to chase Su Yunfei, but Su Yunfei was already lost in the crowd.
Li Xuan'er beside her looked at Zhuge Feng who was a little abnormal and asked in confusion: "Husband, what's going on?"
Zhuge Feng patted Li Xuan'er's hand and said tenderly: "It's okay, I admitted the wrong person."
The two then continued walking forward.
