Qing Ming

The autumn wind blew a bit of coolness, but the garden of the Sheriff's Mansion was busy. Thousands of soldiers were shirtless, holding hoes and desperately digging the ground, sweating profusely, but they didn't dare to slack off at all.

Zhou Da on the side was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and kept urging the soldiers to speed up. The garden was already a mess, and the dead flowers and plants were scattered all over the ground and trampled to pieces.

Just as Zhou Da was blushing, a young man with a happy face walked slowly in the corridor behind the garden. The burdock, who had been digging vigorously, suddenly stopped the hoe he was holding in mid-air, and stared at him with his bull's eyes. The oncoming person had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Stupid, dig now!" Zhou Da wished he could rush forward and slap him twice, and roared at Niu Geng.

"No... digging... slightly!" Niu Geng stammered, but he never looked directly at the sheriff.

Zhou Da couldn't help turning his head to look, but found that Liu Qiankun was standing behind him with a smile, but now it was his turn to be stupid, and his fingertips trembled involuntarily.

"Is the sheriff digging here?" Liu Qiankun asked with a trademark smile.

...Zhou Da was speechless, and all the soldiers around him stopped their work. This big living man stood in front of him with a smile on his face. Should he continue digging?

Zhou Da squeezed out a forced smile and said, "I don't know how Mr. got out of trouble?" He saw it clearly the night before yesterday, this guy jumped into the crypt, and the crypt collapsed, but now he is smiling Standing in front of my eyes, I don't even have a speck of mud on my body...

"Haha! It's interesting to say, that day I jumped into the burrow to search, but I didn't expect that there was another way in it, and I could go straight to the outside of Yingfeng Town, a hundred miles away. I stayed for a day before returning. Please ask the sheriff Take care!" Liu Qiankun talked eloquently, but omitted many of the details.

In fact, last night Liu Qiankun scraped away all the wealth accumulated by the pigs for thousands of years in the pig's nest, and slept happily on the soft incense couch all night...

Zhou Da, who hadn't closed his eyes for two whole nights, was relieved to see that Liu Qiankun was safe and sound. After a few words of politeness, he yawned and left. Before leaving, he still ordered the soldiers to rearrange the messy garden. He had already made up his mind, and he would take Liu Qiankun to the imperial capital early tomorrow morning to avoid further complications.

Early the next morning, Zhou Da personally led a thousand elite cavalry to escort Liu Qiankun to the imperial capital without stopping.

This time, Liu Qiankun had had enough of riding horses. A group of more than a thousand people hurried across towns and counties along the way, and finally arrived at the gate of the imperial capital ten days later.

The capital of the Tianxing Empire is really extraordinary. The six-foot-high green brick city wall stretches continuously, with no end in sight. The outside of the city wall is surrounded by a wide moat. Even the suspension bridge in front of the city gate is more than two feet long, side by side. There is still more than two ox carts.

There was an endless stream of people entering the city, and there was a constant flow of traffic. According to what Zhou Da said that the imperial capital had four gates in the east, south, west, and north, they still walked through the most remote south gate.

Liu Qiankun was originally a lively character, and he couldn't wait to rush his horse into the city. The crowd followed closely behind, and the whole group went straight to the city.

The first thing that catches the eye after entering the city are the streets, big and small. This reminds Liu Qiankun of a saying by Bai Juyi, a master of the Tang Dynasty: Hundreds of houses are like a game of Go, and Twelve Streets are like vegetable beds.There are more than twelve streets in the capital of Tianxing Emperor!It really deserves to be the largest and most prosperous capital in this world.

After Zhou Da found a posthouse and settled the people, he couldn't wait to propose to go to the palace with Liu Qiankun to meet the monarch, but Liu Qiankun said that he was not feeling well, so he had to wait patiently for the night.

In fact, Liu Qiankun had already planned in his heart, since he came here, wouldn't it be indifferent and boring if he couldn't have a good time in the capital city?The princess's illness is not a matter of a day or two, so why not let her wait another day?

Everyone on the pommel horse was already exhausted, and they went to find places to rest after a while. Liu Qiankun took a cold breath and slipped out of the posthouse to walk towards the busiest street in the imperial capital. Of course, he didn't know which road The streets are the most prosperous, but just go where there are too many people!
