Chapter 27 Chang'an and I meet each other happily

Chang'an, the most majestic city in the world, certainly deserves its reputation, because this city is so huge that the empire actually opened eighteen city caves in the four directions of east, west, north and south. But even so, the number of high-ranking officials who enter and leave the city every day Nobles and common people still blocked these city holes from time to time and formed extremely long queues on the official roads.

Ning Que and Sangsang waited in a long queue until it was almost dusk before they crowded into the city gate. Looking at the serious-faced sergeants who carefully checked their luggage and packages, Ning Que, who was sweating profusely, couldn't bear the squeeze. I thought of the huge traffic jam in the capital of a certain world, shook my head, laughed and cursed twice.

He scolded in a low voice, but the residents of Chang'an City around him scolded very loudly. The folk customs of the Tang Empire were simple and fierce. Few people were afraid of those seemingly serious sergeants, but no one dared Ignoring the strict laws of the empire and just breaking through.

Finally it was the turn of Ning Que and Sang Sang. The sergeant took the military document he handed over and found that this young man was actually a fellow soldier and had made many military exploits on the front line. The serious expression on his face suddenly became much gentler, but when his eyes fell behind Ning Que When he stabbed Xiangtian's three knife handles diagonally, he couldn't help but frown.

"This is a family heirloom sword. Our ancestors once told it..." Ning Que explained carefully.

"Where the sword is, the man is dead..." The sergeant gave him a bored look, waved his hand and said contemptuously: "I have to hear this kind of thing eight hundred times a day, little guy, just save it and untie the package. With such two little guys carrying such a big package, it doesn't look like you're here to take an exam, it feels like they're just moving."

He turned to look at the big black umbrella behind Sangsang, frowned and asked, "What kind of umbrella is this? Why is it so big?"

Sangsang turned his back and held the middle part of the big black umbrella, looked up at the sergeant coldly, and said: "Where the umbrella is, the person is there, but the umbrella dies and the person dies."

The sergeant looked at the little black girl, gave a thumbs up and praised: "This statement... is innovative."

Ning Que was untying the package next to him, with a wry smile on his young face. He thought that he was probably the only one in the world who knew that Sang Sang's words about umbrellas are not a joke, but true.

The big package contained bedding, blankets and some miscellaneous things. The only thing worthy of special attention was the boxwood bow and the several tubes of feather arrows. When the sergeant turned over these things, his expression changed slightly.

…

…

The city gate of Chang'an City is long and dark, and the exit on the inner side of the city is far away. It looks like a small shining hole. You can vaguely see a sunset setting in the distance, and the red light slants in. However, It didn't get very far before it was swallowed up by the darkness and noise.

Ning Que and Sang Sang followed the people towards that place. Sangsang struggled to weigh the heavy package behind him to make the belt on his shoulders more comfortable, and asked curiously: "Master...are all the people in Chang'an as talkative as that military master?"

"Absolutely." Ning Que replied: "With all the wealth and power in the world concentrated in this city, the people of Chang'an are inevitably a little prouder, but the more proud they are, the more polite and tolerant they are to people from outside, because they have to show Their demeanor, and they are indeed a very classy group of guys."

"But if you don't show your pride, anyone will panic. What about the Chang'an people?... They talk! From the carriage shop to the yamen, all the Chang'an people are very good at chatting, ranging from the secrets of the royal family to the lowest level. It seems that there is nothing in the world that they don't know about the brothel anecdotes. Of course, what they like most is to talk about the wars and personnel affairs of the countries in the world or the counties of the Tang Dynasty in a calm and indifferent tone, as if each of them is a Like a prime minister."

Sangsang burst out laughing, which showed that she was really amused by Ning Que's words.

The previous inspection in the city gate did not show the tragic scene of knife destruction and death. The big black umbrella was now carried on Ning Que's back. The three knives on Ning Que's back were put into the package. The boxwood hardwood knife The bow was also lowered. After completing this, the chatty sergeant let them go without making any trouble.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were very martial, and if they didn't have a few handy guys, it would be more painful than taking their own lives. Therefore, the empire's control in this area has always been very loose. Swords are allowed in Chang'an City, but not knives. Bows and arrows are allowed. But bows and arrows must be unstringed, and crossbows must be used by the forbidden army. Other than that, there are no restrictions.

As for whether you secretly string your bow and take out your sword after you walk into the city, no one will care about you, not even the Chang'an Mansion, not the military, not even His Majesty the Emperor in the palace. Why care about these things.

Ning Que and the two were used to the frontier life. Every night in Weicheng, they could no longer see any lights except the taverns, and they could no longer hear any sounds except the soldiers gambling. So when they entered Chang'an City at dusk, they thought You will see a peaceful sleeping city, but you did not expect that Chang'an City at night would still be...

Everywhere is lively.

The lights on the street illuminate the flat bluestone pavement like daytime. There are many pedestrians on the street, some stopping in front of the stall or looking at the stars. The man and woman who stop in front of the stall should already be together, while looking at the stars may have just begun the hooking up process. .

The clothes of the Tang people, especially those in Chang'an City, were simple and plain. They wore tight sleeves, short linings and flat shoes, which looked particularly neat. Occasionally there were men with wide sleeves, and the cuffs were cut extremely short, with their hands hanging outside the sleeves, probably for convenience. Drawing out the sword from the sheath at his waist.

There is a man in a green shirt walking with a sword, his long beard fluttering in the night wind. He looks like an immortal swordsman. However, when he sees a juggler on the street, that man will stop and huddle with a group of older girls. He watched nervously with his eyes wide open, then clapped his palms red and cheered loudly, but when the juggler took the money, he returned to the cold look of the immortal swordsman, meaning that if he had to pay for the copper coins, he could not get rid of the pickled things. of.

The dress of the Changan woman is also very simple and simple. Change the word is called cool, and then the word is probably naked. In the warmth season in the early spring, the women and girls I saw on the street even naked their arms outside the yarn cage sleeve, and more a little bit more. The charming young woman was boldly wearing a tube top to the street, and the white tenderness of her chest was noticeable.

On the street, the barbaric people with their chests were curious to look at the four weeks. Moonlon officials wearing a wings hat were stinging with a beard, and they were cooked between the green buildings of the wine shops. Drinking on the stars, from time to time, the prestigious laughter was passed on the street. I do n't know that there was another silk bamboo from the House House, and the melody was melodious.

The wealth and demeanor of the entire world seemed to be concentrated in Chang'an City, which was enthusiastic and exciting. The richness made intoxication, magnificent and gentle, and the swords and beauty reflected each other.

Ning Que held Sang Sang's little hand, and walked in the ocean of this lamp and the ocean of people, and the embarrassing look looks like a brothers and sisters in the countryside.

Thrush green bird head Dai Dai, the fragrant Suxiangxiangxiang creep, the jade powder and pearl powder, the thing called the rose paste is rouge? Is that small bottle the legendary flower dew water?

Sang Sang, who was held by Ning Que, widened the slender eyes like willow leaves, looking at the bottles and cans on the street stall, and felt a little bit moved.

There was a little lady's waist swaying in front of her eyes. How could the abundant hips be like this? There are young girls with drooping braids squeezed from her side. How can the faint experience look like orchids? The young woman who chooses Huazhi with the man on the stall, why do you want to be charming, do you think the teenager is a bit cute?

Ning Que looked at Sang Sang's hand and looked at the four weeks. He did not remember that Changan, a young age in his childhood.

If you ca n't walk, you walk slowly, and the streets have finally become cleaner. However, the two border cities are a little calm and relaxed. From all directions, I do n't know how many Changan people have emerged, and the corners of a certain street in front of them were strictly blocked.

"Duel!"

Through the crowd across the black, the two men who were able to see the swords on the waist were staring at each other hatred. The right sleeves of the two were cut off by the sword and thrown on the ground between the two.

The world has become quiet, and all people who look at the lively close their mouths tightly to ensure that the fairness of the duel is deep into the blood of each Tang.

"The rules of dueling are to cut sleeves to challenge. If you accept it, you will cut your sleeves."

Ning Que held Sang Sang's hand to squeeze out of the crowd and explained to her: "This kind of duel is called the living bureau, as long as the victory is divided, and there is an endless duel called the dead bureau. .

"Can you not accept it?" Sang Sang asked.

"Of course." Ning Que wiped the sweat on the forehead, patted the big package behind Sang Sang, confirmed that there was no thief, and continued: "But sometimes people, especially men can easily become idiots, such as For women, love, dignity, these messy things are crazy. "

The two squeezed out the crowd, and Sang Sang looked up at his dark face and asked: "Why don't we leave it? I remember when you like to watch the lively when you were in Weicheng. When you killed pigs that year, you squatted beside him. Watch a whole night. "

"I saw a lot of killing cattle and sheep. The pig killing that year was the first time in Weicheng's history. Of course, it is necessary to take a closer look at it. Such things do not happen in Chang'an City. If you want to see Some are opportunities ""

Ning Que Pinghe said: "And this is Chang'an City. I just want to go to the academy honestly to study, but I don't want to cause any trouble. From now on, we must clamp the tail like two dogs. "

Sang Sang shook his head, thinking that I didn't want to be a bitch. As for you, you just kill a few people in Chang'an City. It is really not suitable for you to pinch your tail to be a person.

"Find the Inn." As if reading her mind, Ning Que said with failure: "I'm sleepy."

Sang Sang pointed at a building on the street in front of him and said, "Look, there is a inn."
