Chapter 736 The Flawless White Jade
Chapter 736 The Flawless White Jade
A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove along the bluestone road in Chang'an City, and the sound of the rhythm was slow and lethargic when the wheels ran over the road.The chasers look old, and the beard has spread from the jaw to the chest.The white spots on the temples are traces of years, just like the annual rings of a big tree, which can't deceive people.He squinted against the carriage and looked like he was asleep, but in fact he was sober at the moment, sober to a little nervous.
He had forgotten how long he had not been nervous.
There is no logo on the carriage, so it should not belong to any famous family.It seems that this is an ordinary carriage through the city. There are at least thousands of such carriages in Chang'an City.Only a huge city like Chang'an will spawn an industry like a horse-drawn carriage.Hundreds of miles from Chang'an, from south to north, from east to west, all seem so distant.
There didn't seem to be many people in the carriage, because the stallion pulling the cart didn't show any effort.But it is no wonder that since the emergence of the Iron Armor, the people seem to be reluctant to move around at will.Although the city is large, everyone has a heavy sense of depression in it. Maybe ... no matter how big the prison is, it is still a prison.
The servants patrolling the street and the carriage passed by in the Yamen of Chang'an. The iron locks hanging on their waists made a very clear sound as they walked.
The people in the carriage shuddered slightly when they heard this sound.
This is a carriage through the city, no matter how deserted the business is, when there is only one carriage, today there are four.
A young man with a gentle look looks like a plain mandarin shirt, with a white face and white hands. You can't even find a little dirt in his fingernails.He sat there reading his book with his head down, his eyes fixed.It is no different from other literati in Da Sui. He also has a gorgeous sword hanging around his waist.People from military and military backgrounds do not like swords. In their view, swordsmanship is not a weapon, but an ornament.
The gorgeous scabbard is meaningless, and the thin blade of the sword is like a toy on the battlefield.
This is an era when literati hangs swords, Wufu ... or the sword comes more cheerfully.
Martial artists like the roughness of the knife, the edges and corners of the knife, and the coldness unique to the knife.
As can be seen from the law of the Great Sui Dynasty, knives are absolutely forbidden, unless they are like a dart board or martial arts sect, and they will be eligible to hold knives after they report to the court and government, but they are never allowed to bring knives to the right Appeared on the streets of Chang'an.The imperial court had no prohibition on swords. In the prosperous age of the Great Sui Dynasty, the scholars on the streets of Chang'an, either princes or sons, like to hang a sword on the waist.
Sitting next to the young scholar was a woman who looked like she was back to her mother ’s house. She was wearing a blue cotton cloth and was very clean, but you can see from the faint white corner and the trouser legs. Life must not be very rich.She had been holding a bamboo basket all the time, holding it tightly, as if afraid of the bamboo basket falling.
I don't know if the bamboo basket contains the baby, it feels like the bamboo basket is all her property.
This is a very ordinary woman, does not look very beautiful, her face is very clean, her eyebrows are very thin, and her facial features look very marked, but her face is slightly squared, if her jaw is sharper, her forehead is fuller The jawbone is more rounded, which may be a beauty that makes people look back.
She closed her eyes and lowered her head, holding the basket in her arms.
Sitting opposite her is a young man who seems to be malnourished, his face is not normal, looking at his face should be seventeen or eighty years old, but he looks like a child of fourteen or five years old.From time to time, he secretly looked at the young woman sitting opposite him, as if he was interested in the young woman's basket.
Sitting next to him seemed to be his sister, and the two whispered something from time to time.But the conversation is nothing more than the weather outside, how long does it take to get to a relative's house or the like.It can be seen that this sister should rarely go out, so it seems a little cramped.
She also looked at the two people across from time to time because she really did not know them.
If it were n’t for her skin, if it was n’t for her beautiful hands, if it was n’t for the natural appearance of her, she would definitely be able to block her identity with this ordinary dress.However, she is a princess, and she must be able to see that her temperament and the cheap clothes on her body do not match.
She held a parcel in her arms and held it tightly, just as tightly as the young woman on the opposite side was holding the basket. If it seemed that the basket was all the young woman's, then the parcel was all her.
Some people, even if they are worn out, cannot conceal her origin.
Of course, there are very few such people.
But helplessly, she is one of these few people.
Conversely, there is a person who, even if he wears it gorgeously, even if he wears it hard, even if he wears jewelry, even if he sits there motionlessly, he does not speak, but if someone with experience can still follow her The performance showed that she did not match the gorgeous clothes on her body.
Therefore, the woman in the carriage was a little nervous.
Therefore, the little maid in Changchunyuan's dome, sitting in bed in gorgeous clothes and reading a book with her head down, didn't read a word.
There was a ditch behind the dome, a little eunuch crawled in from here three times.
There was no fourth time, because when he went out, he took another person, followed him out of the stinky ditch, drilled through the smelly sewers, and then climbed out of the dump.Although they changed their clothes immediately after they came out, they seemed to have a smell on them.
Then the two of them ran into a street in fear, pretending to sit casually in front of a stall selling pot soup and hot noodle soup, and each ordered a bowl of noodles and a soup bag.It seems that they are eating very hard, and they still stuff all their food into their stomachs when they have no appetite at all, because they all know the next meal and when they will eat it.
Just as the young woman drank the last hot soup, the owner of the soup dumpling intentionally or unintentionally said that the carriage through the city was really punctual, and the time elapsed from here almost did not change.
So, the two of them got on the carriage.
...
...
Musan can be sure that the person who drove the bus must be the person Yan Yan contacted. This is undoubted, because even he and the princess do not know where to get off, so only the driver knows.So although he was afraid that even his heart would jump out of his throat, he still made himself calmer.
Although the driver looked a little dull and still very old, he knew that his appearance was never the right criterion for judging a person's strength.
In order to cover up the tension, he occasionally whispered a few words to the long princess Yang Qinyan sitting next to him, and then secretly observed the reactions of the two people opposite him.But it seems that the two people on the opposite side have no interest in the conversation between them.The scholars are still reading, the young woman is still holding the basket.
Then Mu San found that he had a low self-esteem, and even the long princess was more calm than he seemed.While crawling through the sewers, she still thought about taking off all the accessories on her body and throwing them away, messing up her hair, and then washing her face with the smelly water, washing away the beautiful eyebrow lines and face that had been painted Applying a touch of fat powder has also washed away the fragrance.
She didn't even care at all, and scratched her body while drilling through the hole.
She is taller than Musan, but very thin.But even if a woman is thinner, some places are very plump.
Therefore, Mu San felt that he had failed a little, and has obviously experienced so many things, and has been reused by the generals, but how can it be so unsatisfactory, even a princess who has never faced the danger!This made him a little annoyed, but thinking about it this way, the pressure in his heart was much lighter.
The carriage went west.
Mu San knows that this is to avoid the big armored army. Most of the armored army is located in Taiji Palace and Changchun Garden. There is almost no armored army in Xicheng. After all, there are only 5,000 people left, and Changan City is too big A little.
In this way, after shaking for two hours in the carriage, when the sun had slowly moved westward from the center, the carriage finally stopped slowly.When Mu San was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a cry from outside.
"Everyone gets off! Check!"
Mu San's heart tightened fiercely, and he looked unconsciously at Princess Chang Qinyan.Then he saw the fear in her eyes and saw her shoulders tremble slightly.Then, Mu San heard the driver's hoarse voice urging: "Grandpa wants to check, you all hurry down."
This second, Mu San even suspected that the driver was not himself.
Then he saw that the young scholar got out of the car naturally, and the long sword was lying across the door so that he did not get off three times. Then he remembered to look back, and then turned the long sword over, his face was original Such an expression looks so stupid in any way.
Next is the young woman, holding the basket, and her careful appearance makes her feel that she may collapse at any time.
Mu San gave a glance to the Princess, meaning that you don't want to come down first. I went out to see. After this glance, Mu San suddenly felt a sense of pride.It's just that when he got out of the car, he felt his legs were a little soft.
After Mu San got out of the car, his eyes were pierced by the sunlight outside. He rubbed it and found that it wasn't the armored army that was blocking the carriage.Then he saw a servant who came over and grabbed the basket from the young woman's hand and threw it on the ground. Immediately, more than half of the eggs in the basket were broken.
Mu San froze for a moment, then couldn't help but want to scold the street.
So nervous, is it just a basket of eggs?!
At this moment he suddenly noticed that the chasing old man's eyes were a little weird when he looked at Yayu. He thought for a while before he realized that his eyes were ... pity.
"I've never had any extravagant habits. I only like to eat a boiled egg every morning, so I calculated the days and prepared the amount to eat along the way ... Do you know how much sin you have committed?"
He heard the young woman say such a cold voice.
Then he saw the chauffeur flashing backwards, as if afraid of splashing blood, and the young scholar with the sword took three big steps backward, blocking his eyes with the book.
...
...
The carriage slowly reached the gate of the city. The old man who drove the car handed the city gatekeeper a token, and then lowered his voice to say that he had secretly executed several criminals who had just been pulled out of the Changchun Garden and could not show up.The gatekeeper avoided the old man like a god of plague, threw the token to him, and waved to let the guards and soldiers release.
Mu San looked at the young woman holding the half basket of eggs across from him with a surprised look, then hid back in fear.The smell in the carriage was even worse, not because of him and the princess, but because there were many people in the carriage ... many dead people.
At this time, he suddenly felt his back cold, and unconsciously raised his head to look at the young woman on the opposite side, and found that the young woman was also looking at him. When Mu San saw the young woman's eyes, she was frightened and trembling. eye.
The young woman's eyes ... there were no black eyes, all white, like flawless white jade.
