lazy tang

Chapter 158
The Great Golden Crow spewed flames to the ground unscrupulously, the sun was so bright that people couldn't even open their eyes.On both sides of the road are patches of golden wheat, and there is no wind in the sky.Under the scorching sun, the bitter people harvested precious food in the fields.In the golden wheat waves, a black back floats up from time to time.It's very similar to a rock, but every minute the rock moves, the golden wheat fields decrease.

A luxurious ox cart was driving on the main road, guarded by knights on the left and right.A small green flag was planted on the roof of the car. The small flag was drooping, and the black words were hidden between the folds.But this didn't seem to affect its function. Countless pairs of thieves' eyes saw the little flag, and then disappeared into the golden wheat field again, as if they had never appeared before.

It was hard to breathe in the heat outside, but it was cold and pleasant inside the car.Zhang Miaoke wore gauze and sat in the car bored.When the curtain was lifted, a gust of hot wind rushed in, Zhang Miaoke hurriedly put down the curtain again.

But the moment the car curtain was lowered, a huge city had already fallen into her eyes.That was Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty.Today's saints live in the palace in the Eastern Capital. Although it is still called the palace, the regulations and scale have surpassed Chang'an.

Looking back at the things in the carriage, whether her husband can go home safe and sound depends on these things.I don't know how the husband's little head grows, and he can figure out the things that women use.Thinking about when I first met him, my face became hot with a ignorant expression.

Yun Hao was forced to run away, and the person who announced him to enter Luoyang was the current sage.Therefore, only today's saints can lift the ban.But there are exceptions to everything. Although today's saint controls the world, no one dares to compete with him. He is a real golden dragon.But don't forget, there is still a golden phoenix entrenched in this eastern capital.

Empress Xiao, a descendant of the Southern Dynasty royal family.It is said that she was beautiful and dignified, and she was even more clever in managing the harem.In Yang Guang's huge harem, there was not a single discordant voice.It is said that most of the people who want to speak up are underground.The Luoyang peonies bloom delicately, and the peonies in the palace are called the country's treasures.But according to some old palace people who left the palace, it was because they had eaten too many beauties.

peony!It's a flower that eats people!
This time, through the relationship of the Li family.Finally, he got a servant in the palace who thought he had the final say, and he agreed to introduce Zhang Miaoke to the palace to meet the empress.Of course, as a fee.There are ten hectares of land beside Chang'an, so I followed the servant's surname.

Although anxious, the speed of the ox cart is really not flattering.After walking on the road for more than half a month, I finally arrived at Luoyang City.

"I don't know what's going on with Ah Lang now. Why did you call a good saint into the palace? It's all caused by the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". You can read all kinds of troubles!" Sitting opposite Zhang Miaoke, Xin'er, this girl He is very familiar with the whole road.As soon as he returned to Jinyang from Luoyang, he was dragged back to Luoyang by the mistress of the house.Along the way, I explained the customs to Zhang Miaoke a lot, which can be regarded as a little relief from the boring journey.

"Ma'am, don't worry, our lord won't lose money wherever he goes. For example, our ox cart is not found in Luoyang City. The road is so rough, and our cart has broken down before. Is it? And it’s not too bumpy, you don’t know. When the servants took this car back to Jinyang, a wealthy steward came to inquire about whether the car was for sale. If it’s rice, grain and money, we can discuss it as long as there is a price .”

"You girl, you will change the subject. I was talking about A Lang, and you were taken to the bullock cart again. That's all! Maybe this time it's done well, and our husband doesn't have to float around outside." Zhang Miaoke sighed faintly, and the ox cart drove into the wide gate of Luoyang City at the same time.

It was also a very hot day, but Yun Hao didn't get such a good treatment.Zhang Miaoke brought saltpeter with him in the car, and the ice would appear the next day when the ice disappeared.Yun Hao left in a hurry, there was no time to bring saltpeter.Li Er and Chai Shao were also clueless, or they didn't expect it.You can actually use ice to cool down in a car, so it's hard for Young Master Yun.

The outside temperature can boil eggs, and the car can almost steam steamed buns.Hou Junji didn't even bother to fan the fan he bought.Even fanning is still hot air, and fanning will make the whole body sweaty and sticky, not to mention uncomfortable.Damn, it's better not to use it.

"Second Master, don't hurry. People will die!" Yun Hao finally couldn't take it anymore, lying on the carriage board with his face flushed.Hou Junji poured light salt water into him like watering flowers, his stomach was full from drinking.There is a sound of water when it moves, "gurg" and "gurg".

Li Er was still riding on a horse yesterday, and today is too hot.Get into Yunhao's carriage, this day is also wicked.It was as hot as a steam oven, and there was not even a trace of wind.God seems to be steaming everything in this world.

"Second brother, it seems that we should find a place to live. We walk after sunset every day, and we stay at the hotel when the sun comes out. If we walk like this, people can bear it but animals can't bear it. Some people have already started to suffer from heat stroke today. , if we keep on going like this, I'm afraid the horses won't be able to do it." Chai Shao, like Li Er, wanted to take care of Feng Yi.The clothes on his body are still meticulous, unlike Yun Hao.He was wearing a pair of big pants, lying on the carriage board in a large font.I can't wait to take off all this skin!

"It seems like this is the only way to go. If you encounter a town in front of you, stay there. Wait until the evening when the weather turns cold." Li Er is a kind-hearted person, and he immediately adopted Chai Shao's suggestion.In fact, Li Er is familiar with military books.In Sun Tzu's Art of War, there is a special chapter on marching.If you are marching in the scorching heat, you can only go out at night like this.

Coincidentally, right after Li Er finished speaking, a town appeared in front of him.The name is also peculiar, Niutian Town!

There is only one small inn in Niutian Town, which is called Niujia Old Store.When Hou Junji asked to stay in the store, the old shopkeeper with a gray beard said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my lord. The small store was booked by a customer, and the customer said it was inconvenient to bring his wife and others to live in. How many times It's better to find another house to stay for the night, it's easy!"

The old shopkeeper saw this group of people with guns and knives, and spoke politely.It's just that the rejection was unequivocal, and Hou Junji immediately became angry.I don’t even need money to eat restaurants in the city, but I come to eat in your backcountry... Uh... No, how dare you refuse to accept it if you are staying in a restaurant?
"Old fellow, make your tricks brighter. Hurry up and kick out the people in the inn and let my second master stay in. Otherwise, you will come by yourself. When you leave, I will tear down your inn." Hou Junji squeezed The collar of the good shopkeeper's nose almost touched the old guy's forehead.The hot air from the nose was spraying on the old man's face.

"Master, although our town is small, there are officials..."

"Officer, your mother's size, no matter how big an official you are, you are not enough in the eyes of men." Hou Junji stepped up his temper and pushed the old shopkeeper to the ground.With a shout, some soldiers rushed inside.The inn wasn't big enough, and it was too crowded for all the people brought by Li Er to live in. How could anyone else live there.Seeing that Li Er and Yun Hao's carriage was about to arrive at the entrance of the town, how could they explain this little matter to the boss.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw several black-clothed warriors.On a hot day, they still perform martial arts in the courtyard with a bamboo sword in each hand.Seeing someone break in, it is not a good person at first glance.The two sides hardly spoke any words, and they fought in one place in an instant.

They are all veteran killers who have survived a hundred battles, and they are all first-class masters on the battlefield.Seeing that the opponent was holding a bamboo sword, he immediately confronted him with a horizontal knife and scabbard.But after getting started, I realized that the bamboo swords of these guys are superb.Several guards suffered a great loss under the underestimation of the enemy.

Hou Junji was hit hard on the bone in the face, and the pain made him jump around on the spot.His feet were limping, and he didn't know if his bones were broken.

In a hurry, he whistled.The killers immediately drew their horizontal swords, and the warriors were not to be outdone.With a greeting, a few more people rushed out of the room.Several of them were shirtless, holding bright horizontal knives in their hands.But looking at the style, it seems to be different from Hou Junji and the others.

Immediately there was a "clinking" fight in the yard, and it was already impossible for Hou Junji to stop it now.

"Stop!" A yell sounded like a muffled thunder in the yard, and the fighting stopped quickly.Those black-clothed warriors lined up against the wall with horizontal knives in their hands, looking warily at the guards in front of them.

Behind those warriors in black stood three people, two men and one woman.When Hou Junji saw those three people, he was stunned and almost speechless. "Mr. Li!" Seeing that the opponent was Li Jing, Hou Junji immediately called his subordinates to put away their weapons.Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian had rescued Chai Shao and Hou Junji on the way to escape, Hou Junji naturally recognized them.

"You are the prince of the Duke of Tang..." Li Jing saw that Hou Junji looked familiar, but couldn't remember his name.

"Hou Junji, the left-behind residence of Jinyang, met Mr. Li!" Hou Junji hurried forward to salute!

Li Jing looked at the field, it was only for a while.Several people in the arena had already seen blood, and they were veteran killers who had used knives and swords for many years.It was a killer move almost as soon as he made a move, and it was lucky that he didn't lie on the ground now.

"Why did you suddenly barge in? Don't you think my steel knife is bad for you!" Zhang Zhongjian said in a somewhat unkind way when he saw that two of his subordinates were injured.The people staying in the residence in Jinyang are considered idiots, and it's not like I haven't killed officials before.Here is almost to the border of Shandong, as long as you cross Shandong.When he got to the beach and got on the boat, that was Zhang Zhongjian's world.

"My second master and Chai Daguan passed by here and wanted to rest, how could I know that you are here too. Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Hou Junji knew Li Jing's energy, and his and Chai Shao's lives could be said to be at risk. Li Jing and the bearded giant were rescued.According to Chai Shao's personality, he must give up three points when things happen.Today, if Meng Lang is like this, he will definitely be punished when he goes back.

"Misunderstanding! That's not what you said just now. You said that you wanted to clear all these guests. You also said that you are not afraid even if you report to the officials." The old shopkeeper with the gray beard just scrambled and crawled to hide behind the low wall , and now seeing Hou Junji admit cowardice.Immediately stood up, pinched his waist and pointed at Hou Junji.Seeing that posture, I really want to return Hou Junji's "spit" at him just now!
"You...!" Hou Junji didn't dare to argue with the old shopkeeper because Li Jing and the bearded man were in front of him, but his eyes were enough to kill the old guy.

"How about the little old man? You treat the little old man so easily? You even said that I demolished my shop, and you asked people from all over the world. Who am I, Zhang Laoga, in this generation? Brother Tong, you Uncle is about to be bullied to death. Help!" Seeing Hou Junji's murderous eyes, the old shopkeeper immediately ran into the back house in fright.

The inn is divided into front and back houses, and the front house is naturally the shop.There are houses where guests live, and the back house is the small courtyard where the shopkeeper lives.One main room and two wing rooms.

The Tong brother that the old shopkeeper Zhang Laoga spoke of was a member of Wunan Village, Dong'e County, Yunzhou, whose surname was You, and whose name was Tongzi Junda.Zhang Laoga's wife is this Youtong's nanny.Thanks to You Tong remembering his childhood love, he, Zhang Laoga, managed to set up this family business.You Tong happened to be visiting the nanny today, and now that someone called, Zhang Laoga naturally wanted to find this You member to go out.

Hou Junji didn't pay attention to this old country man either, he just thought about how to explain it to Li Jing.If Li Jing and the giant bearded man sued Li Er soon, it would be a disaster.

Just thinking about it, suddenly there were footsteps in the backyard.A giant man ran out of the shade along the alley, with raised brows and crystal clear eyes.The pimple face is full of strange flesh, and the sloppy mouth shows fangs.Tired cheeks with pale red beard, fluffy long and short hair behind the ears.Rough and bold temperament, like cast iron lumps;

A cunning figure, but it seems to be cast from stubborn copper.He is really an upright man, but he is not an idler.Holding a long-handled battle ax in his hand, he must have eighty catties if he does not have a hundred catties.

Roared like a fierce tiger, "Who the hell dares to make trouble here, I'll kill my old Cheng."

Zhang Miaoke tremblingly entered the imperial city, the huge gate of Miyagi seemed to be taller than the gate of Jinyang.Inside, is the absolute power center of the Great Sui Dynasty.The golden dragon with huge strength, and the golden phoenix dancing with the phoenix for nine days are entrenched inside.

Looking worriedly at the cart carrying gifts behind him, Zhang Miaoke walked in with a heartbeat.
