Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1014 Came to the Quiet Capital

The journey to the capital is urgent, hurry up if you can, and hurry up if you can.Both Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er had almost reached the limit of their physical strength, and their horses were trembling with exhaustion.

Liu Ya wasn't too nervous, and didn't feel any pressure to face the empress dowager's illness.Just wondering what the ancient capital was like?

I watched a lot on TV, and felt that the capital city should be a bustling, prosperous and magnificent place.It's just that Liu Ya didn't expect that her first impression after arriving in the capital was... quiet.

The city walls of the capital are very high, and the blue-gray stones reveal an inescapable oppression and majesty.The huge city is so quiet that there is hardly a trace of noise.

Of course, it's not complete silence, but a feeling of silence that makes you want to lower your voice even when you fart.

For a while, Liu Ya was not used to this kind of quietness. She thought that even if the capital city wasn't full of traffic and pedestrians, at least it would be full of people and shops.

However, apart from the conspicuous soldiers standing at the gate of the city, there were actually very few people going back and forth into the city.

Liu Ya silently counted two hundred in front of the city gate, and only about forty people came in and out from the beginning to the end.

Although it is not uncommon for forty people to come and go in more than three minutes, but this is the gate of the capital city, why does it feel more solemn than Anji City?

According to normal thinking, the capital city is the center of the country, a prosperous place at the foot of the emperor, why does it feel so deserted and gloomy?

Liu Ya couldn't help looking at Xiao Shu'er, and under the influence of the atmosphere, she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you sure this is the capital? Why does it seem like an empty city?"

"It's the capital city." Xiao Shu'er replied affirmatively.Then, looking at the high city walls and the serious and unsmiling soldiers, he said in the same low voice: "Otherwise, the second sister thinks this should be a lively place for traders and pawns to come and go? Do you think there are people everywhere in the streets of the capital who are hawking 'stinky tofu'?" 'Is it a good thing? When you come to the foot of the imperial city, the first element is majesty and solemnity. Even if the envoys from various countries come, the first feeling is the solemnity like a pilgrimage. It is impossible for you to laugh and curse Where is it?"

After Xiao Shu'er finished explaining, Liu Ya roughly understood.The real ancient capital is under the control of one person, and the place of imperial power should be extremely majestic and not allow anyone to desecrate it at all.Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why it is so solemn.

Or how can the ancients think that this is the symbol of the highest power?It must be coercion from the spirit, so that people don't feel solemn when they come to the capital.

Liu Ya looked at A Ye, who had been running with them for more than three days, and was lying on the ground panting with her tongue out, and asked, "Then can it follow us into the city? Is this badge still useful?"

Xiao Shu'er shook his head and said, "Of course not. The badge of Tongcheng horse is useless so far. In the capital, a small Tongcheng horse is at the same level as the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, even worse than that." The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate have great power."

After finishing speaking, he took Liu Ya's waist card, put it back in his arms, and said: "Last night, I released the communication pigeon and predicted the time to arrive in Beijing. Let's wait here, and someone will come to pick us up into the city." of."

Liu Ya narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Shu'er, and said: "You boy has become too unreal, I don't even know about releasing the carrier pigeon." After finishing speaking, she turned her mouth away, and really didn't want to talk to him look.

Xiao Shu'er thought Liu Ya was really angry, scratched the back of her head, and said, "It's not that I deliberately avoided Second Sister, but that the pigeon who communicated with me last night happened to come back, so I just sent another note back by the way, the timing was just a coincidence .If the homing pigeons didn’t come last night, I’m going to get up early this morning to release the news. This way the time will be more accurate.”

Liu Ya gave Xiao Shu'er a white look, and said: "I'm just kidding you. I don't care about such a small matter. Besides, you are working for the Gu family now, and the big family has many rules, and there are many things that cannot be said. I know this very well, so I won't chase after everything. But, you really grow up, it's not as fun as when you were young."

Xiao Shu'er smiled slightly, gestured for his height with his hands, and said: "I am taller than my second sister now, of course I can't always be as fun as a child. However, I have become a man, and I want to give my second sister More protection."

The two siblings were talking when a carriage came out from the city gate. The man driving the carriage looked around and saw Xiao Shu'er and Liu Ya.

Xiao Shu'er also just looked up, saw the carriage and said to Liu Ya: "Let's go, Second Sister, the carriage is here."

While speaking, the carriage drove towards them, two young men jumped out of the carriage, and took Xiao Shu'er and Liu Ya's horses respectively.And the driver also stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage and raised the curtain, waiting for Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er to get on the carriage.

The three people who got on and off the carriage didn't speak, and Xiao Shuer didn't say anything, and motioned Liu Ya to get on the carriage first.

After Liu Ya got into the car, Ah Ye jumped up.The driver's expression changed slightly, but without saying anything, he just glanced at Xiao Shu'er.

Xiao Shu'er said in a low voice: "You must take the little pet of the disciple of the genius doctor." The coachman nodded.

Ah Ye is very obedient, except for his majestic appearance, being docile is no different from a dog.Of course, this must be the case that no one approached Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er casually.

Thinking of yesterday in the inn, a strong man driving a car saw Liu Ya's handsome appearance and wanted to make do with her, but A Ye slapped him with his paw, tearing his clothes around the waist.

It's just that the other party wants to make do with it. If he dares to take a step closer, the huge wolf teeth will definitely taste bloody.

Then, Xiao Shu'er also got into the carriage.The driver outside lowered the curtain and said, "We're entering the city."

This sentence sounded like nonsense, but Liu Ya found out that after he finished speaking, Xiao Shu'er immediately fastened the curtain of the carriage with a copper hook from the inside.That was so that when the carriage was running, the curtain would not be lifted to reveal the people inside.

Then, Xiao Shu'er also fastened the curtains on both sides.The curtains are relatively thick, and people outside can't see inside at all, but people inside can vaguely look outside.

Being so mysterious made Liu Ya a little nervous.It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm mobilizing my nerves in case something unexpected happens.

After the curtains were fastened, Xiao Shu'er responded, "Let's go." The carriage started.

Liu Ya could look out through the curtains, but her sight was blocked and her vision was blurry.I just feel that the streets in the capital city are indeed spacious and flat, but they are also silent, and even the people walking seem to be walking lightly.
