From now on, the Son of Heaven does not come early

Chapter 74
The capital city of Chang'an is still as prosperous as ever.

The autumn wind is getting colder and colder day by day, the ancient locust trees on the roadside gradually turn from green to red, and then fall to the ground, leaving only bare black branches, blue-gray roofs, and withered yellow wormwood swaying in the wind, pedestrians coming and going Stepping on the fallen dead leaves, the autumn wind makes people shiver involuntarily. Looking up at the sky, the blue color is getting colder and colder. The old people know that winter is coming soon.

Su Ziyu was lying on his back upstairs drinking hot tea, looking at the scenery outside with his delicate eyes. It rarely snows in the south of the Yangtze River. In winter, there is only light rain falling, which adds a touch of poignancy to the pavilions. The Western Jin Dynasty is different. Well, it's only October, and the weather is already like this. It is estimated that in a few days, there will be heavy snowfall.

"I just saw the clouds on the top of the ridge, and the snow is like dust on the rocks; there are thousands of peaks and stones, thousands of jade plants, and thousands of trees and pines are filled with clouds." Su Ziyu lazily looked at the scene outside, and said to the next Xue yearned more and more.

Just when he was enjoying himself, out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a slender figure in a thick red brocade inlaid ermine cloak hurriedly passing by in the alley downstairs. The gray eaves followed all the way, and the boy who came in with the snacks looked around and found no one, only the windows were open, and the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves into the house, spreading them all over the floor.

"This person, how can he be gone if he doesn't exist?"

With a mutter, the boy had no choice but to turn around and take the broom to clean the house.

Ye Xiaoxiao tightened the vermilion thick brocade inlaid ermine cloak on her body, and hurriedly shuttled in the alley.

The fourth brother is going to meet a group of people today. This group of people are former bandits. They are the best candidates for paving business roads. I am afraid that the fourth brother is used to wandering around and cannot hold back the scene. It's not easy to ask elder brother, so she had to come and have a look first.

The meeting place was chosen in a residential area in the north of the city. These are low-rise houses, in stark contrast to the magnificent mansions in the south of the city. Many people from the lower class gather here, including bandits, prostitutes, pawns, and demons of the time. , which makes it look more dirty and more dangerous.

The embroidered shoes are stepping on the dirty ground, the palm-sized face is extremely cold, and the peach blossom eyes are carefully staring at the road ahead. In the low-rise room, you can occasionally see such a pair staring straight at each other in the dark corners. Looking into his own eyes, a sudden look can always make people shudder.

Where Tender Rabbit walked, a few people appeared faintly, staring indifferently at the direction of her departure from a distance, Ye Xiaoxiao didn't look back, only clenched the whip in her hand, and continued to move forward.

Su Ziyu looked at the place where the person entered, frowned, and still jumped up to the roof, following him all the way.

In a small courtyard, half of the courtyard walls collapsed, revealing the dilapidated houses inside. A few rough men were still shirtless in this weather, standing aggressively in the courtyard.

Ye Hua played with the two emerald balls in his hand, with a dissolute look on his face, and behind him were a few stout servants, who also stared at them with ferocious faces.

Among the rough and mad men, a big-bodied man stood up, spat, walked over slowly, and looked Ye Hua up and down.

The son of the Jingui family, with thin skin and tender flesh, has a good appearance, is more attractive than a little girl, and is dressed in fancy clothes, just like a little girl.

"I, Wang Lao Wu, is a respectable figure in the north of the city, so I can do whatever you want?"

Ye Hua was not angry, but just smiled and pulled out a bag of silver from her pocket, and threw it on the wooden table aside: "Your silver is indispensable."

Behind Wang Laowu, Zhu Laoqi picked up the bag of silver and turned it upside down, which was about two or three hundred taels.

The brothers exchanged glances, and Wang Laowu snorted, "Shang Dao, that's all business done by outlaws, no matter how much money there is, we won't do it."

"It's up to you to do it or not!" A clear female voice sounded from outside the door, clear and melodious, very pleasant to hear, several thick men turned their heads to look over, and a young girl stood gracefully, with a slapped face as delicate as a flower, calm and vermilion The cloak embellishes the small face of the person more and more pretty, no matter the speech and gestures are different from those women on the street, it looks like a lady from a rich family.

Wang Laowu was happy: "Hey, what day is it today, my small temple can't hold such a big Buddha!"

When Ye Hua saw the girl coming, she couldn't help but walk over and dragged her behind: "Follow fourth brother, fourth brother will protect you."

But before she could hide the person, the little girl went straight to Ye Hua, raised a thick and short dagger in her hand, and stabbed it fiercely into the wooden table. In the past, an inch-long sharp knife point was exposed directly underneath.

Zhu Laoqi bent down to look, there was no crack at all on the two-finger-thick water hyacinth wood tabletop, only the one-inch-long knife tip was exposed under the table, which made everyone around him gasp, especially Ye Hua, darling, is your sister so fierce?If you think about it, if you can draw a tie with your elder brother, your skills will not be much worse.

Wang Laowu and Zhu Laoqi exchanged glances, Wang Laowu still said: "What, what's wrong?"

As he spoke, the men behind him all showed off their muscles and looked over with ferocious expressions.

Tender Rabbit smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, in the entire Chang'an City, except for the royal family, who can be more violent than us?"

Wang Laowu frowned, and asked in a rough voice: "Are you the Ye family in the capital?"

"Yes!" Tender Rabbit nodded with a smile, a pair of peach blossom eyes burst into a little bit of spirit, and the tender beauty of the little girl bloomed at a glance.

"So, I only give you two ways, one, all die here, and two, do our business!"

"Smelly girl, who do you think you are?!"

"We have to listen to what you say? What about the first-class Gongye family?!"

A group of debauched bandits shouted loudly, and they were about to come over to vent their anger. Unexpectedly, they only took a step forward, and there was a human wall in front of them. Dozens of men in black surrounded the bandits. Among them, the cold and hard faces were lifeless, and only pairs of dark eyes stared straight at the bandits. It felt as if the person standing in front of him was not a living thing, but a walking corpse. People are frightened.

"Dead warriors!" Ye Hua whispered. The Ye family has always trained dead warriors. It is said that the royal family also has them, but he has never seen them before. Who knows that he saw them next to his sister today. Sure enough, what happened six years ago has already made the old man Grandma is alert.

Ye Xiaoxiao said indifferently, "Even if you are all killed, the Jingzhao Mansion will reward our Ye family for our contribution to maintaining public security in the capital. Are you right?"
