Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 59 The King of Flowers
Stepping out of the square and stepping on the bridge, the surging Luoshui came into view, and the arch bridge spanning the three rivers and two continents stood tall, with guards standing on both sides of the bridge head, flags fluttering, and the silent majesty rushed towards us.

Galloping lightly on Tongtuo Street, ladies wandering with hairpins folded willows, Jiaoer in blue gowns whispering and laughing, red flowers and green leaves gnats, bees and butterflies.

Yelling and hawking are full of ears, and vendors' chants are chanted and sung.

Xia Houchun praised: "Shenluo competes for beauty, although the peony is the most expensive, the rest are not vulgar."

At this moment, he can be said to be "embracing left and right", attracting the frequent glances of many talented people from the Eastern Capital.

On the left side, the red-robed beauty Fang Xirou has a big horse with a golden knife, lightly pinching the horse's belly, as close to Xia Houchun as a food protector.

On the right is Murong Shengxue in white clothes, who seems to be overwhelmed by blood red, but in fact is like a clear stream, which makes people's eyes shine.

She who has lived in the Eastern Capital for a long time said with a light smile: "His Royal Highness coincides with the meeting, and the flower season in Los Angeles is approaching. Hundreds of flowers are blooming and colorful, but I only love Yao Huang Wei Zi."

She praised: "Yao Huang is a thousand-leaf yellow flower, which comes from the Yao family in the east of the city. The shape of this flower is like a fine carving, its quality is like forged silk, and it is as moist as nephrite; Wei Zi's is true of Yao Huang."

Weng Boying, who followed behind with a stern face, said with a smile in his heart, and after complimenting "Huang Zi is exclusive to the nobles, it is a perfect match with His Highness", then shook his head and whispered softly:

"Yao Weiyu's wonderful flowers, the king of thousands of flowers. The oblique hairpin beauty is drunk, and the city is full of madness."

Fang Xirou glanced at the flower stalls on the street, and said calmly:

"Although Yao Huang and Wei Zi are good, they are like no one in a thousand. Zhao Fan and Ou Bi are also not inferior. If you want to benefit the people and spread grace widely, you can't focus on one thing."

Liu Wenzhen naturally had a lot of disgust for this Southern Chu survivor princess, and his heart and soul almost jumped out when he wanted to imprison and kill His Highness earlier. Hearing Fang Xirou's voice, he naturally helped out without hesitation.

He took it seriously and said: "What the saint said is very true. Although Yao Wei is good, it is difficult to show His Highness's mind. Only by tolerant of the world and nine continents can he show his mastery!"

The group of six seemed to be divided into two factions, except for Chen Xuanli and others who stayed in the barracks and ate and lived with the Qianqi camp, Zhuge Dan and Su Guitou went back to the palace temporarily.

The masked man and Tao Fu watched coldly, disdain to meddle, Liu Wenzhen stood up for Fang Xirou, Weng Boying turned his elbow outward, coveting his face to curry favor with Murong.

Xia Houchun waved his hands with a smile, stopping the tit-for-tat confrontation without gunpowder, and said in a rambling voice:

"Peonies are both expensive, I have heard about them for a long time, but the reputation of the king of flowers is not limited to these two kinds. I have heard that there is a kind of partial branch hidden in Zhao Garden, which has three flower types: single petal, double petal and semi-double petal. It is inferior to Wei Zi Yao Huang.

In addition, Luoyang produces peonies, and peonies produce Danyan. There are nearly [-] species of peonies, such as Yanzhou red, Qianxi Fei, Heling red, Jiurui Zhenzhu Weihua, fainting sandalwood heart red and a twist of jade board white. Called first-class, it can be said that there is no distinction between top and bottom, each has its own merits. "

Fang Xirou pursed her lips and said, "Apart from making muddy soup, what else do you do?"

The implication of the crown prince's words is self-evident, Murong smiled lightly and said nothing, and did not refute anymore.

The fragrance of flowers invades the nostrils, laughing and asking the guests what they want.Xia Houchun then took advantage of the opportunity to buy two bouquets of light red and gave each to the beauties. The lingering fragrance remained. He sniffed it lightly and said leisurely:
"Wei Hong is slim and Yao Huang is fat. The cinnabar jade plate is full of taste. The world admires the nine stamens of flowers, but I am the only drunk Qianxi Fei."

After all, Weng Boying is not blind, he praised insincerely: "Your Highness borrows flowers to describe himself, to express his feelings and express his feelings, just like diving into an abyss, and when the time comes, he can soar into the sky, it is truly an ancient quatrain!"

Tao Fu sneered, and Liu Wenzhen said with a smile: "Why, General Tao seems to be hesitating to speak, is it possible that he also wants to express his love?"

"Not interested." Tao Fu said lightly.

After a group of people walked around to see the flowers, smell the fragrance and know the objects, and tasted a variety of peony kings, they declined the enthusiastic peddlers, walked out of the workshop under the leadership of Tao Fu, and stepped into the prestigious Tongtuo Street.

Tongtuo Street, in the south of Luoyang Palace, outside the Golden Horse Gate, is also full of people.A crowd of virtuous people gathered outside the Golden Horse Gate, and teenagers gathered on the Bronze Camel Street.

Accompanied by the beautiful woman, the whistle gradually sounded, Tao Fu glanced coldly, stopped abruptly, and retreated in embarrassment.

At present, the Zhaoyi Army's initial organizational structure was only 5000, and it increased to [-] after it was transferred to the Eastern Capital. It was also split into two halves and four divisions, with one half guarding the Eastern Capital and the other hiding in the countryside.

The garrison battalion of the Eastern Capital City was divided into two divisions, the navy and the infantry. The naval warships swam on the Luohe River and patrolled the Luoshui for ten miles. Garrisoned within walls, bunkers, and fortresses.

The cavalry originally camped outside the city, and after Qin Rui dispatched the Zhaoyi Army to Dongdu, they will camp ten miles outside the west gate of Luocheng.

Facing the warm spring breeze, accompanied by Yingge's laughter, Xia Houchun led his two daughters to the north bank under the exclaimed, panned and clever smiles of the beauties in Dongdu.

Holding the whip and reining in the horse, there was a loud noise, and the horse was stroked lightly, and the mane was smoothed.

The Tao Fu beside him shouted: "By order of the general, the prince is invited to enter the camp to watch the military parade!"

After the guards heard the words, the tense momentum quietly disappeared, their cold eyes gradually eased, and they all moved out of the way.

Murong and the masked man drove side by side, and smiled slightly at Fang Xirou beside him: "Sister Fang, please."

Suspected of the resurgence of war, Weng Boying fled immediately.

Fang Xirou glanced at the other party, and murmured in her heart that she was indeed a good-looking girl. With a straight face, she said softly:
"How dare you let Her Royal Highness fall behind, you should invite me first."

How can a subjugated species be called a princess, the soft and thorny words made the masked man frown slightly, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

On the contrary, Murong didn't take it seriously, and smiled softly as if he didn't realize it: "Since sister is so kind, then sister will not be polite."

"You!" Fang Xirou's eyebrows were furious, and she dared to tease her, this girl was very scheming.

Righteousness and desire go hand in hand, the man behind the mask is fierce and threatening.

Xia Houchun next to him coughed lightly, and after he stopped, he immediately patted the horse's buttocks and rode away.

Liu Wenzhen followed closely behind, always on guard against Tao Fu. Although this person sent his subordinates back to the camp earlier, no one could predict whether this person would still play tricks.

Tao Fu glanced at Weng Boying, who lowered his brows and pleasing to the eyes. After he gave a soft snort, he said softly to the masked man:
"After entering the camp, you must not use your profound strength. Otherwise, don't blame this commander for 'attacking the camp'."

The masked man's eyes were gloomy, and after a cold snort, he reined in his horse and left.

Tao Fu looked at Xia Houchun's back, and then told the garrison soldiers: "From today onwards, the city's patrols will be doubled, and then send someone to inform the navy, and be sure to keep an eye on those uninvited guests!"

Awe-inspiringly promised, after clasping his fists together, he retreated to pass the order.

The city defense battalion was placed in the city, adjacent to Youye Gate. Nearby, it could defend the palace city and protect the government offices of various ministries; far away, it could go down the river and control Heluo.

And guarding the embankment of the river bridge is like choking the throat of the south bank to prevent military remonstrance and civil uprising.

But when Xia Houchun and others went to the garrison camp in person, they were in vain.

Outside the camp, the head of the personal guard bowed his head and said in a low voice: "The general has not returned from his visit to Qianqiu Temple. If you are a distinguished guest, you can go to Qianqiu Temple for a while."

Immediately Xia Houchun looked calm, but Liu Wenzhen was furious.

The masked person seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Murong frowned and remained silent, his eyes flickering non-stop.

Fang Xirou muttered to herself, "Get off your horse?"
Weng Boying was displeased, and while he was sticking close to Xia Houchun, he looked at Tao Fu with displeasure.

The other party was calm and composed, looked at Xia Houchun, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, why don't you stay in the camp for a while, I think the general will return soon."

Everyone looked down, waiting quietly for Xia Houchun to make a decision.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant, Xia Houchun narrowed his eyes slightly, then chuckled, lifted the reins and pedals, turned the horse's head and left.

"Don't see him?" Fang Xirou asked, looking at Xia Houchun.

Xia Houchun raised his eyes to look to the southwest, and smiled: "General Qin is entangled in military affairs, unless it is absolutely necessary, he would not leave the camp. Since he is currently watching Qianqiu, I should pay my respects in person!"

After speaking, he reined in his horse and left. Liu Wenzhen glanced coldly at the Tao Fu, and immediately followed.

When the crown prince was coerced to come to inspect the camp, not to mention, he was also released as a pigeon. It was really not as simple as a dispute between emotions.

That general Qin's attitude is worth pondering.

And according to what Xia Houchun said, it seems that this matter is endless?
The masked man looked at Murong, and said in a low voice: "Princess, what should we do?"

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he glanced at Fang Xirou who was thoughtful, and said with a slight smile, "Where Your Highness wants to go, is where Murong's heart goes."

She gave a soft drink, and left with her saddle on her back.

Fang Xirou and Weng Boying looked at each other, and they both saw that things seemed to be overwhelmed.

"I wonder if the two of you should stay in the camp or go to Qianqiu Temple?" Tao Fu asked with a chuckle.

Fang Xirou pursed her mouth, flew straight up, and walked away on the horse, which made Weng Boying amazed.

After shouting 'Fairy Fang wait for me', he rode away.
