Country color

Chapter 53
The night in Luoyang, the eastern capital, is just the beginning of the lights.

After seven hundred rumbling drums sounded, there was no one on the street, and the soldiers patrolling the city began to hold lanterns and check one by one.At this time, if there are pedestrians on the road, they will be regarded as criminals, and they will be arrested and imprisoned, and they will go to the Luoyang county government to eat in prison.

However, inside the rammed-earth square wall, there is still a bit of excitement. Luoyang's curfew is only for outside the square wall, but inside the people are still allowed to move around, and the brothels and taverns inside are open all night, and no one is there to control them.

The wheels of the cart were crushed on the loess, and four tall horses of the same color were dragging a gorgeous carriage slowly.

In front of the carriage, ten soldiers with long knives fastened to their waists walked slowly. Under the dim twilight, they saw a row of long lanterns held by slaves on both sides of the carriage, with three large characters of Qi Wangfu impressively written on them.

On the street, the soldiers who patrolled the city with fierce faces, when they saw this carriage, they all avoided the road, not to mention interrogating them, they didn't even dare to block the road even a little bit, instead they nodded and bowed.The term curfew is only used to curb the common people, but it is like a decoration for such a nobleman as King Yang Yang of Qi.

The bamboo curtain on the carriage was lowered, and Li Chongjiu rode his horse to follow Yang Hao's carriage.

With the sound of horseshoes kicking, Li Chongjiu thought of the situation in front of him, but it was a bit funny.I originally went to Yirenfang to seek shelter from Princess Changle.

Unexpectedly, because of what he said, Yang Hao was treated as a confidant for a while, and was persuaded by His Royal Highness Qi Wang to stay in Qi Wang's mansion.

Right now, Yang Hao and Li Chongjiu are not very welcome, not because he is greedy and lustful, and looks like a dandy, but because this person has not done well in history.

The Sui Dynasty is about to collapse, and waiting for the end of His Royal Highness King Qi is a dead end. Even when Yang Guang was alive, His Royal Highness Qi Wang was very uncomfortable. Li Chongjiu vaguely remembered that he would suffer from the royal censor soon in history. Impeached, but ordered by Yang Guang to ransack the house, beside His Royal Highness Qi Wang, let alone the future, even if it is ordinary wealth, there is no need to count on it in the future.

However, Li Chongjiu has to take care of His Royal Highness King Qi at the moment.

There is no other reason, what I committed in Fengdu City today, and the wanted warrant on my body are all a big trouble, and I need His Royal Highness King Qi to take care of me right now.In addition to being a nobleman of the Tian family, His Royal Highness King Qi is also Henan Yin, who is in charge of the affairs of Henan County under the emperor's feet. If he can help Li Chongjiu to absolve him, it will be just a sentence.

The night fell, and overhead, in this unpolluted sky, stars were visible.On the Luoshui with sundries floating, the sky full of stars and the full moon were reflected.

When Yu Wenkai built the Eastern Capital, he built it with the law of heaven and earth as the pattern, and the sky and the earth as the latitude and longitude.

Yu Wenkai first led the Luoshui River through the capital to resemble the Han Dynasty, then built the Tianjin Bridge to the south of the imperial city, crossed the bridge to the south, and used the law to lead the cows. Ziwei Yuan in Yuan 28, where the emperor lives, is like a big dipper without moving, surrounded by stars.

King Qi's carriage first drove along Tianjie, and when it reached the side of Tianjin Bridge, it turned eastward and traveled along Luoshui River, and then crossed Luoshui River from Lishe to reach the north bank.

Lisheqiao connects the north and south cities of the Eastern Capital, and it is the most prosperous place in the daytime, but at this moment, it is empty and the surroundings are quiet, except for the occasional sound of horseshoes patrolling the city. There was a constant rushing sound.

After passing Lisheqiao, we arrived near Beishi.To the north of Beishi, the Caoqu Canal, which had been bustling all day long, finally stopped.Now it's getting dark, and there are still boats and ships everywhere, with towering masts.

The three cities of the Eastern Capital arose near the canal. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built a canal. This section of Luoyang started from Shanglinyuan in the west of the Eastern Capital, along the Luoshui River, and reached Luokou where it joined the Yellow River.Therefore, Luoyang's water transportation is extremely developed. In the horizontal canal, boats and boats from all counties in the world gather and shuttle back and forth. Usually, when the horizontal boats pass through the canal, they suddenly look like boats on land, and they think they have come to a town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not far from Beishi, Yang Hao got off his horse and wore an ordinary brocade suit, looking like an ordinary rich man.Seeing Yang Hao like this, Li Chongjiu knew what the other party was up to. It was just a private visit. It seems that the life of His Royal Highness Qi Wang is also very boring.

The plot of posing like a dude, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, pretending to be aggressive and then breaking out, it seems that it is not only the protagonist of time-traveling novels, Yang Hao obviously also loves this tune.

Since it was a private visit in micro-service, the noble slaves and soldiers of the royal family were ordered to stay outside. Yang Wei only brought five or six entourages, all of whom seemed to be very skilled in martial arts, and Li Chongjiu was added to enter Beishi.

Yang Hao walked towards Li Chongjiu, and said in the tone of a veteran: "The most fun time in Dongdu is at night, the more interesting it is at night, and the most fun place in Dongdu, of course. It is the famous flower under the moon in Beishi, and the most beautiful among the famous flowers under the moon is Qu Yanran."

Well, looking at Yang Hao's appearance like a treasure, Li Chongjiu is ready to become the companion of a dude.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Not good!"

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Li Chongjiu asked hastily.

Yang Hao said: "I forgot that Qu Yanran likes talented poets the most. Tonight, I forgot to invite some of the most talented old scholars in the mansion. Too bad, what should I do? Chongjiu, you will definitely Give me a hand."

Seeing Yang Hao's sweaty appearance, Li Chongjiu thought to himself that this is a good way to make King Qi owe him a favor, and then he can use this to resolve the current unfavorable situation.

It's a pity that my so-called poetic talent is only used to plagiarize the masterpieces of the ancients. Although Li Chongjiu remembers many of the masterpieces of the ancients, such poetic talents can be used at will and must be adapted to the time and situation. When others call you Yongyue, you can't say Liu , the season is summer, you must not say a sudden spring breeze overnight.

Li Chongjiu laughed a few times, but he didn't have much confidence, and said immediately: "My knowledge is shallow, His Royal Highness Qi Wang, don't have too much expectations, but I will definitely do my best."

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say, Fifth Sister said you are virtuous, since you are virtuous, your literary talent will never be bad."

It is obvious that Yang Hao said this in a high-profile manner, lifting Li Chongjiu up. If Li Chongjiu can't do it at that time, Yang Hao will not have a good face.

There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and Li Chongjiu can only take one step at a time.

Stepping into Beishi with Yang Hao, they soon came to an extremely luxurious three-story building with colorful lanterns in front of the door, which looked like Qionglou Yuyu.

The four characters of the famous flower under the moon are written on the gate. Li Chongjiu's brushwork is strong and beautiful, and he can see that it is a famous handwriting.

Li Chongjiu nodded involuntarily, there were no ordinary prostitutes with those vulgar fans piled up in front of them, showing off their beauty there, it was just a beautiful mansion in the surrounding area, with a sense of elegance and luxury.

Li Chongjiu also felt a little bit of wanting to broaden his horizons, and followed Yang Wei into the steps.

After entering the house, Li Chongjiu was quite surprised by the elegance and luxury of the outside, but Li Chongjiu was a little dazzled by the interior decoration.

It's not that the decoration is gorgeous or gorgeous, it's just that there are screens everywhere, ordinary cases, and just right paintings, which don't have a fresh and elegant taste, but when you look at it in detail, you can see that every Everything is exquisite and unique.

As soon as Yang Hao and Li Chongjiu entered the house, several young girls stepped forward to serve them and help them take off their coats.

Li Chongjiu saw that these girls were all in their twenties and eight years. Although they didn't wear rouge, they all had picturesque eyebrows, and they were all rare beauties.

While taking off his coat under the service of the girl, Yang Hao saw that Li Chongjiu was watching carefully, he laughed at that moment, he thought that Li Chongjiu was fascinated by the girl's beauty, and said immediately: "Chongjiu, after seeing Qu Yan, All the women in the past are looked down upon."

Li Chongjiu couldn't help laughing at Yang Hao's praise, and immediately the girl took off her clothes and entered with Yang Hao.
