Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 14
Kyoto is the oldest center in Kyushu and the heart of the Zhou Dynasty.

When the sky turned white and the morning light shone faintly on the earth, the cloud ship arrived at the outskirts of Kyoto.

As the cloud ship moves slowly, everyone will have different feelings when the majestic city shrouded in morning fog in front of them is like a giant beast gradually clearing up in its pupils and gradually revealing its ferociousness.

Some people think this place looks like a big tomb.

Some people think this place is like a towering fairy mountain.

More people want to go in and see if the flowers are as blooming as the legend says.

Of course, Zhao Chengfeng is different from them.

Looking at Kyoto in front of him, another completely different scene appeared in his mind.

The fiery red clouds echoed the blazing fires of Kyoto. Countless sect battleships and practitioners in various colors occupied the sky, which seemed endless.

The ruined city was full of broken limbs and arms. In the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, the banner at the top of the city that was supposed to be buzzing was broken in half.

Therefore, the red flag with the word "zhou" written in black on it has long lost its former majesty. It seems to have lowered its proud head, as if it is surrendering and admitting its mistake to the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

So Zhao Chengfeng stood at the bow of the ship and felt inexplicably sad.

Bai Zhi stood beside him, not feeling the same.

Instead, I was thinking whether I should ask the prince about his current situation later.

Yes, after these six days of sailing, Bai Zhi has now established a healthy relationship with the Third Prince.

She would choose to ask about her husband when the prince was in a good mood.

Zhao Chengfeng talks to her every day about the town where she has lived since she can remember.

Over the past few days, she had talked with the prince in many details.

For example, the buildings in this town are all built in mirror images and are very symmetrical.

There is a ginkgo tree and a small square paved with cobblestones in the center of the town.

The academy is opposite this tree.

There is a well in front of the academy.
The well water is very sweet.

etc.
Zhao Chengfeng wanted to find this place, but Bai Zhi didn't know the exact location of this town.

Therefore, the more details, the better. The more specific it is, the easier it will be for people in Dangbei Palace to find it.

Of course, the Third Prince is a fair man.

While asking her to recall various details of this town every day, he took her to see the storyteller who was actually unconscious.

Bai Zhi cried miserably that day.

Because the gentleman who was split in half was miserable.

The huge needle holes and threads are like the worst-quality puppets on the Unluo Ancient Road in Kyoto, and the stitches are terrible.

Of course, since then she has completely settled down to be a maid.

But I have to mention that.

Since she started working as a maid seriously, Bai Zhi feels that life on the Yunship is actually very good.

Zhao Chengfeng is not as unbearable as the rumors say.

At least these days, he hasn't lifted a finger on himself, and is more of a gentleman than a gentleman.

Liu Meiniang and Shutong Aotian never made things difficult for her.

Apart from being a little afraid of Senior Sun, who spends all day sharpening knives on the deck, even Zhong Gu is very kind to her.

In this environment, all he does every day is serve tea and water, but he can enjoy some of the luxurious life on the cloud ship.

For example, all the delicacies produced in Beizhou are gathered on the cloud ship. She has never tasted many of them, but she liked them very much when she first tasted them.The most expensive silks, porcelains, and objects in all of Kyushu are gathered here. Even a spittoon is made of jade. A fingernail of this kind of jade is worth ten thousand taels of silver, which is probably even worse than in the Imperial City. Nothing less.

Of course, every time she saw the big yellow dog that was always basking in the sun on the deck, she would lament that humans are inferior to dogs.

Because every day in the dog bowl, he would either have thousand-year-old ginseng or Erzhao antler from the Mishan Deer, and he would chew a root of Polygonatum sibiricum and eat it as a cucumber.

I heard from Meiniang that her dog bowl, which seems to be the least worth mentioning, is the most valuable. It is made from the inner core of some kind of Tianzhou Yun tree. Put a glass of water in it and drink it, which has the magical effect of strengthening the muscles and veins.

Throw it into Yunsheng Trading Company, the most famous company in the world, and everyone is afraid that the extremely rich shopkeeper will secretly lick it.

As for why Dahuang had such a high status in Dangbei Palace and enjoyed such luxurious treatment, Bai Zhi wanted to ask several times, but in the end she hesitated because she had grasped the sense of propriety as a maid.

Therefore, Bai Zhi, who has even learned to express emotions, sometimes feels in a trance
I feel like I'm a little too used to the life here.

She was feeling particularly dazed today, so she wanted to ask how her husband was doing.
Fortunately, the third prince Zhao Chengfeng, who was looking at Kyoto in a sad and trance, quickly changed his gaze. When his eyes began to focus on the thousands of acres of fertile land on the outskirts of Jianxiao Jing, he looked at the black soil covered with neat green sprouts, and... As the ants-like farming people were running around among them, smiles gradually appeared.

I don’t know why, maybe it was because he was a Taoist dog in his previous life and lived in isolation in famous mountains and rivers for too long. In this life, he only loves fireworks.

Whether it is the Beiting City Market or Goulan Brothel, he loves to visit.

Zhao Chengfeng liked the farming scenery in front of him from the bottom of his heart, so his smile began to grow and he was in a good mood.

Before Bai Zhi could ask about her husband's situation, Liu Meiniang, who was standing on the other side of him, said, "Why is the Third Young Master smiling so happily?"

Zhao Chengfeng pointed to the people below who were in the farming season: "Don't you think the scene in front of you makes people feel happy?"

Bai Zhi on the other side was thoughtful when she heard the words, and then heard him say again:
"There are only two things you can't live up to in life."

Liu Meiniang: "Kingdom and beauty?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi remembered that this seemed to be a famous saying spread throughout the world by the emperor who sat on the dragon throne of the Yunqin Dynasty and took care of everything.

Unexpectedly, the prince smiled disdainfully at this moment: "Country and beauty? That's just fart."

Regarding the matter of spurning the emperor of the Yunqin Dynasty, not only the Dangbei Palace, but also the people of the Zhoutian Dynasty would smile knowingly.

Liu Meiniang smiled and asked: "What are the two things that the prince cannot live up to?"

Zhao Chengfeng: "It's good to eat and drink!"

After Bai Zhi listened to the conversation between the two, she looked thoughtfully at the busy farming people under the cloud ship for a moment. Then she looked at the third prince's eyes, and there was a small change that had never happened in the past few days.

At this time, the book boy Ao Tian'er came from not far away and came to report: "Young Master, Yun Shu has returned to Kyoto."

"How to say?"

"Master Wang from the Ministry of Rites replied that we arrived one day earlier than originally planned. Today Yunjian will enter Beijing's Beiguan Post Station for a rest. At the same time, he will start all matters and lead officials at all levels of the Ministry of Rites to greet us at the north gate at midnight tomorrow. The young master enters the capital."

"troublesome."

"That's how etiquette should be."

"Then let's go."

……

Jingbei Guanyi is located in the thousands of miles of farmland below.

When the cloud ship fell from the clouds, countless old farmers looked up, marveling at the majesty of the cloud ship like a Kunpeng, and envied the lives of the nobles above. However, after looking at it for a while, they still had to work and be busy. For them, there was no such thing. Nothing is bigger than spring plowing.

No matter who is the third son of Prince Dangbei or the King of Heaven in this cloud ship, they are not as important as farming.

However, after Zhao Chengfeng landed, he ignored the officials who came to greet him and walked into the countryside with Aotian, Mei Niang and Bai Zhi.

Not long after he walked, he spotted a pretty woman who was working in the field with her butt raised and still looking charming. He said to the people around him: "Let's go to my fellow villager's house to beg for a bowl of water!"

Little did he know that at this time, the entire city of Kyoto had exploded because of the appearance of the cloud ship from Prince Dangbei's palace.

As for his arrival, Kyoto people still have one day to prepare.
