Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 22 Before the Palace
Chapter 22 Before the Palace

Before reaching the ancient road.

Everyone passed by the gate of Dali Temple together first. This is also a scenic spot in Kyoto. Because Zhou Tian was a martial artist and civil disputes were constantly being settled and chaotic, there was a ring here many years ago to resolve these matters.

If it is not a major case, but just an inexplicable dispute between people, it is a trivial matter. The people of Zhoutian can use a gauntlet to pass the official promise not to harm their lives and issue a gauntlet to the other person in the dispute.

You can accept the challenge or not, but sometimes things involving dignity will always make people excited.

To put it simply, the arena is the official place for fighting, and there will be people from the government to maintain order and ensure the safety of both parties.

Therefore, over time, this place has become a famous scenic spot in Kyoto. Here, you can often see people fighting over two eggs. Watching them go crazy will make you very relieved. Of course, there are more reasons to make a fight.
"Old Wang, tell me, is there anything going on between you and my wife?"

"Hey, you made an appointment for me to come here, don't you still know it in your heart? I'll show you the real chapter~!"

Zhao Chengfeng stood under the ring with his head held high, watching the two men in their 40s grappling in front of him.

It seems that there are two more old ladies preparing to appear below. I don’t know if it is also because of such things. I was looking forward to it, but I was dragged away by the fat face and the bamboo pole, and went straight to the ancient road.

At the third watch, the ancient Yunluo Road was filled with people and colorful displays.

It seems that all the merchants have a tacit understanding that the entire Kyoto will stay awake tonight for the Third Prince who enters the city early in the morning, so everything as far as the eye can see is prosperous.

And this ten-mile long street will not let anyone down.

Lantern market, flower market, brocade market, fan market, incense market, treasure market, medicine market, wine market... everything is available.

As long as you can't think of it, there is nothing you can't buy here.

Exotic businessmen, monsters, puppets, exotic beasts can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Not to mention wandering until dawn to wait for the Third Prince to enter the city, even if you wander around for three days and three nights, you won't be able to really take a look at everything.

After Zhao Chengfeng and the four of them stepped onto the Yunluo Ancient Road, Bai Zhi's little mouth could hardly close.

She had lived in a mirror town since she was a child, and the only outside world she had been to was the Thieves Inn. How had she ever seen such a scene?

Even if Zhao Chengfeng, who had lived outside Kyoto for a period of time in his previous life, came here again, he would still be slightly shocked by the prosperity in front of him.

As locals, Zhugan and Fat Face would naturally not feel this way.

But they really enjoyed the outsiders like Zhao Chengfeng, especially the look of Bai Zhi next to him who had never seen the world. This would make them feel that the Zhou Tian Dynasty was very powerful. As a native who loves this country deeply, he is currently still in Qingsong Academy. Students who study will also feel very proud.

So, they were so proud that they met a group of senior sisters who were students from the four major academies like them and were always proud of themselves.

The location is a fire-breathing monkey juggling place in the ancient street.

A well-dressed senior sister named Huazhizhaozhan was the first to see the bamboo pole and fat face, who was also a student of Qingsong Academy, and waved.

Zhao Chengfeng, who used to be indifferent to the senior sisters and his chubby face, was now shy. Seeing this, Zhao Chengfeng secretly cursed: "Come on."

Then the two groups naturally came together and had a conversation.

Zhao Chengfeng heard that the most cheerful girl at the front was called Hui Ling, but he was not a classmate of this group of girls and could not talk to them. To save the awkward introduction, he simply turned back and continued watching the monkeys.

Just watching, I suddenly felt that everyone in the city seemed to be waiting for my monkey to enter the city, so I sympathized with him inexplicably.
While he was concentrating on watching the monkeys, Zhugan and Fat Face naturally reluctantly said goodbye to his senior sisters, and then turned around and said:
"Just now, several senior sisters asked me who you are."

"Oh, women really care about their appearance."

"Brother Xiao Zhao didn't think you were good-looking before. After they reminded me, I took a closer look and found that you are indeed good-looking."

Bai Zhi pursed her lips and snickered, Zhao Chengfeng rolled his eyes and said:
"This is how men look at men. No matter how good they are, they only look the same in the other person's eyes. You don't have to mind it. But I do look good. I do look good."

Hearing that he was so narcissistic, Zhugan and Fat Face were a little disgusted, and then changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something."

"what's up?"

"I'm afraid Princess Ningshu is not from the Chengfeng Club, just like Senior Sister Huiling. That's why she had to protect the Third Prince in Zuixian Tower before!"

Zhao Chengfeng did not expect that this night, the topic suddenly returned.

Of course, his main curiosity is: "What is the Wind Riding Meeting?"

Zhugan coughed and said rather shamefully: "It is an organization composed of a group of ladies who like the third prince, as well as some female students from various academies."

Zhao Chengfeng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Can a scum like the Third Prince still have such an organization?"

The fat face looked distressed: "You are a scumbag, yes, but you are a scumbag."

Zhugan explained: "It's like this. In the past two years, many creations about the Third Prince in Kyoto are no longer limited to ordinary villains."

Zhao Chengfeng: "That is?"

Zhugan said patiently: "Especially this year, apart from the erotic pictures of the third prince who is shaking a guy without any technical content in his artistic creation, there are many novels with good literary quality that have come out, and in these novels, the third prince has been The image of Zi has been deeply optimized.”

"Ok?"

Bamboo pole: "Handsome, noble, calm, objective, wise, cruel, and elegant. Although he is still a villain, these qualities have fascinated so many girls in the capital."

Zhao Chengfeng was overjoyed: "So that's it."

Fat Face lamented: "Especially our Qingsong Academy, it has fallen since the news came that the Third Prince was coming to Kyoto!"

Zhao Chengfeng's eyes brightened again: "I said there is a reason why you hate the Third Prince so much."

Zhugan smiled bitterly: "Brother Xiao Zhao, I won't hide it from you. The main reason why I hate the Third Prince is because I have a senior sister I like who doesn't like me, but likes the Third Prince. Although I understand that this is jealousy, but I hate the Third Prince." It’s also the right thing for me to do, right?”

Seeing Zhugan being so frank, Zhao Chengfeng patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, it's human nature, but if you have a chance, introduce this senior sister to me, I'm good at coaxing women!"

After saying that, he looked at the fat face.

Fat face: "It's really not because of this, I just hate the Third Prince, bah~!"

Zhao Chengfeng: "Bah."

Just as he was talking, Senior Sister Hui Ling, who I just mentioned was a member of the Chengfeng Club and the most cheerful person I had just met, came back.

She came to the four of them, looked left and right, and said: "Juncheng, Wan Lin, since you also have to wait to see the Third Prince in the morning, why not come together?"

Zhugan and Fat Face looked at the group of college classmates behind Huiling who were waving enthusiastically, and they always felt that someone among these girls was plotting against them.

Without waiting for their answer, Hui Ling looked at Zhao Chengfeng and said, "By the way, our friend of yours will also come with us?"

Bamboo pole and fat face..
"Oh, no problem." "By the way, his name is Xiao Zhao."

"Xiao Zhao, are you coming together?"

Of course Zhao Chengfeng nodded: "Okay."

As soon as these three words came out, Hui Ling and the girls behind him rushed forward.

"Sir, where are you from?"

"Master, what do you do at home?"

"Is the young master married?"

"Son."

With Zhao Chengfeng as the center, Zhugan and Fat Face were quickly excluded. They looked at each other and understood something.
Bai Zhi looked at them, then each patted their shoulders to express comfort, and even wrote a line of small words and showed it to them.

[It’s okay, the young master doesn’t like them]

Zhugan and Fatty, who were already a little hurt, were even more hurt when they saw the words, but looking at Bai Zhi's beautiful and clear eyes, they all understood that she was well-intentioned and just wanted to comfort themselves.
Just listening to the chirping sounds around him and seeing Zhao Chengfeng surrounded by warblers and swallows, his fat, freckled face couldn't help but say sourly: "They are all pretty, how can I look down on this?"

Bai Zhi wrote another line of words very confidently.

【Young masters all look down on me】

So, the two of them looked at Bai Zhi, excluding the maid's clothes that seemed to make her a little low-status. It should be said that her appearance really scorned these senior sisters.

Now they were a little more relaxed, and more importantly, they quickly accepted the reality.

Zhao Chengfeng is indeed good-looking, and he also has a free and easy, natural and relaxed feeling about him. I can't put it into words, but I just feel that women like him for this.
And people are like this, they will be jealous of those who are similar to themselves, who are a little better than themselves, and who they can achieve.

But once the gap is widened, out of reach, and you can only look up, you will no longer be jealous and your mentality will be better.

So Zhugan and Fat Face were no longer polite to the senior sisters who looked down on them.

He quickly pulled Xiao Zhao out from the crowd and asked the leader, Senior Sister Huiling: "Senior Sister, where will you go to see the Third Prince at dawn? Is it the North City Wall or in front of the Imperial Palace?"

On the north wall, you can see the third prince entering the city from the north of the suburbs.

In front of the palace, you can see the Third Prince walking into the palace to meet His Majesty.

These are two perfect places to watch the prince from one end to the other.
But since Kyoto is bound to be crowded with people at dawn, and there is a distance between the two points, I can only choose one, so I asked this question.

Fat Face thought about it.

Huiling said North City Wall, so he said go to the front of the palace.

Huiling said before going to the palace, he said to go to the North City Wall.

Anyway, we have different paths and don’t conspire against each other. Since it’s not for us, Xiao Zhao definitely can’t be snatched away by you guys.

Things are indeed developing as he expected.

Huiling replied: "We plan to go to the North City Wall. After all, we can still see the cloud ship."

The fat face smiled: "I forgot to tell you just now, we made an appointment before to go to the palace."

"Oh?"

"Oh"

Everyone looked left and right, Huiling turned around and glanced at her classmates, then listened:
"Then let's go to the palace."

"What's so good about the cloud ship?"

"By the way, Mr. Zhao, we haven't finished talking just now. When did you enter Kyoto? Do you need a friend to take you around for a while? I am a native of Kyoto, so I am familiar with this. ~~!"

Fat face: "???"

bamboo:"……"

……

Zhao Chengfeng can easily capture the young ladies in the brothel, not to mention these young girls who are just beginning to fall in love.

So there were lots of laughter and joy along the way, and the bamboo poles and fat faces were dumbfounded. They really wanted to borrow the booklet of Angelica dahurica to take notes so that they could study seriously in the future.

Recalling what Zhao Chengfeng said before, I am very good at coaxing women, and now it seems that it is really not a lie.

While talking and laughing, everyone walked through the Yunluo Ancient Road and headed straight to the front of the palace.

But they never thought that when they arrived, the place would be overcrowded, and there were even shameless vendors selling places.

Senior sister Huiling had a lot of friends, so she led a group of people to the good front-end position that had been occupied early. They met up with another group of students, but it was a bit crowded.

"Squeeze, squeeze."

At this time, Zhugan and Fat Face pulled Zhao Chengfeng to the front row, and when they turned aside from the crowd, it suddenly dawned on them.

Zhao Chengfeng saw young students from the four major academies on the left gathered together, their energetic faces like the bright sky above their heads.

On the right, there are mostly people and traders, and there are actually many adults who put their children on their necks and look into the distance. Is it possible that the children have been studying the Third Prince since they were young?
Directly ahead is the deep palace imperial city.

The vermilion walls are as strong as blood, and the yellow glazed tiles seem to be made of gold.

The ground paved with fine white jade shines with a warm light, setting off the nearest red walls and yellow tiles, making the palace seem majestic and majestic, as if there is a mist shrouding it in the depths.

In front of the door, there are rows of guards dressed in feathers and silver armor, reflecting the morning light. They all look like gods of war, solemn and majestic.

The light was caught on their bodies, so Zhao Chengfeng raised his head and saw the somewhat white sky.

Only then did he realize that the night had actually passed like this.
It will soon be the turn of the third son of Prince Dangbei to appear.

But in this scene, could it be that the entire Kyoto came to see me?

hiss.
Why are you still a little shy?
　Inside, because the word count last week was too few, and the reading in the first two days of the recommendation was too low, I failed this week and did not recommend it.
　　But it doesn’t matter. I felt okay after reading the data, but I need to stabilize this week, so I’m asking for a round of reading. New books are easy to sustain, but I don’t want to die. I was very happy writing it. There should be six chapters in today’s two chapters. Qianwu, please read~~~!
