789 [Thorn Pei] (sixteen)
Taiping Street is very long, but the street is not wide. There are numerous shops lined up on the roadside.
Although this is not the most prosperous North City, the commercial development of Jian'an City can be seen from the bustling traffic on the streets.
I don't know what happened ahead. A large group of people gathered around and blocked the road so tightly that Pei Yue could not pass smoothly with dozens of soldiers.
Xu Churong looked at the noisy situation not far away, subconsciously pulled the reins, and moved closer to Pei Yue beside him.
Two soldiers stepped forward to investigate, while the rest did not need Feng Yi to say anything and immediately began to observe the surrounding situation.
These soldiers were all filled with anger. They only participated in the initial encounter last night, but were later left in the courtyard by Pei Yue, falling into a helpless and anxious wait. Even if the soldiers' duty to protect the general was not mentioned, Pei Yue alone
The more trust and respect they have in them, the more upright and upright Lingzhou men feel.
The congestion ahead would not make them panic, but everyone knew the dangerous situation Pei Yue faced in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, so they did not dare to miss any suspicious situation.
Suddenly, two soldiers came back quickly, and one of them said: "Master Marquis, an old man in front was injured by a knight. The old man's family and the knight were arguing, so passers-by were attracted to watch."
Pei Yue nodded slightly.
Xu Churong suddenly said: "How about leaving this matter to me?"
Without waiting for Pei Yue to respond, she turned around and winked at Yuan Yan behind her.
Yuan Yan understood this and dismounted with five or six Xu family guards. These people often accompanied Xu Churong to wander around Jian'an City. They were very familiar with the situation everywhere. After passing by, they dispersed the people with a few words. At this time, there was a group of people armed with waist knives.
When the police officers came, Yuan Yan only said a few words, and the careless police officers immediately became docile and respectful. They repeatedly shouted and ordered the two groups of people blocking the road to move aside.
The commotion subsided in an instant. Pei Yue turned around and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Xu Churong said softly: "Why do you need to say thank you for your hard work?"
The two looked at each other, then quickly separated their gazes and continued to ride forward.
At the end of the long street is the Imperial Street in the north-south direction, and after entering that street is the Nancheng area.
Passers-by on both sides of the street looked at Pei Yue and Xu Churong with curious expressions in their eyes. Although the etiquette and ethics in the Southern Zhou Dynasty were not strict, it was still rare for this young man and woman to travel together openly, especially when they were following
Behind them were dozens of fierce guards, and one could tell at a glance that they were children of powerful people.
The reason why those people did not show any emotion of alienation or fear may be because these two people were extremely outstanding in appearance.
Although Pei Yue is not as nearly perfect in appearance as Gu Fan, he is still very handsome. Coupled with the temperament developed by a young nobleman commanding an army, even if it is Gu Fan standing next to him at the moment, he will not be taken away.
In other words, among the young people of Pei Yue's generation from the Three Kingdoms in the world today, there are very few who can rely on their appearance and aura to suppress him.
As for Xu Churong, she has perfectly inherited the advantages of her parents. Xu Huiyan's timeless temperament and her mother's beautiful appearance form a harmonious fusion on her. Such a girl is like a water hibiscus in the Jiangnan water town, emerging from the mud but not stained, and washing the clear ripples.
She is not a monster. Although she occasionally shows a bit of cunning, she is not the kind of coquettish and unreasonable character. Pei Yue feels this very clearly.
Suddenly a voice sounded from the crowd: "What a perfect match."
The speaker just blurted out the words, but soon realized that something was wrong, so he quickly shut up and looked down at the ground.
Fortunately, there were so many people on Taiping Street, and the roadside was so dark with heads that no one could spot him for a while.
The base of Xu Churong's ears turned slightly red, and he held the horse's belly with his strong legs, speeding up slightly.
Pei Yue felt funny in his heart, but he had no charming thoughts. Maybe it was because he was under too much pressure when he came to Southern Zhou, or he didn't want to get into trouble again, or maybe those slim figures on the north side of Tiancang River had already occupied
In his heart, he always regarded Xu Churong as his little sister and never thought about it in that regard.
The two principals remained silent. Feng Yi and Yuan Yan, who were following behind, looked at each other with a strange look in their eyes.
Under the porch of a pawn shop on the roadside, the old man who was frightened by the horse sat on the stone steps, gasping for air. Next to him stood a man in his thirties with a look of concern on his face. Judging from the situation, he should
It's his son.
Not far away, there were two other men pulling at the innocent-looking knight and forcing him to take out a hundred taels of silver as money for the old man's medical consultation and medicine. Naturally, the knight would not agree, but the other party's attitude
Very tough, the two sides started to quarrel again after not talking for a few words.
In front of a longevity food store, a monk stood on the street, listening to an old woman talking, with a pious expression and a bit of compassion.
A simple man in shorts squatted on the roadside, carefully protecting two baskets of fresh vegetables placed on the ground. The vegetable leaves were still covered with early morning dew. He always had a shy and humble smile on his face, and occasionally showed it in his eyes.
Showing envy towards those luxuriously dressed pedestrians.
The two porters carried heavy loads on their shoulders, their waists were already bent, and they were struggling to move forward. People like them who lived at the bottom could only sell their coolies, and they could not get much money after working hard for a day.
Support your family.
A young gentleman and two young men, with a sword inlaid with gold and jade hanging from his waist, passed by the vegetable seller with an arrogant expression. He kicked down a basket intentionally or unintentionally, and the vegetables rolled down on the bluestone floor.
On the way up, the man hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, but he didn't dare to say a word to the rich young man.
The clerks of various shops stood in front of the door and yelled hard, the shopkeepers were making calculations, the poor people who were running for a living lived cautiously, and the leisurely wealthy children walked through the long streets with their entourage. This is today's era.
The most common street scenes.
But some of them would inadvertently raise their heads, glance at Pei Yue riding a horse, and then quickly look away. Everything was so calm and natural, as if the still water was flowing deep and the breeze was passing through the forest.
Pei Yue saw Xu Churong faster and faster, knowing that she was still a young girl with a thin skin after all. He was greatly stimulated by the passerby's words "what a perfect match". At this time, he obviously couldn't talk nonsense to avoid causing misunderstanding.
I can pat the horse and follow him.
The end of the long street was just ahead. At this moment, a carriage was seen turning quickly from the Royal Street in the north. The two horses pulling the carriage snorted and moved their hooves wildly, rushing straight towards Xu Churong.
"Get out of the way!"
The coachman looked panicked and pulled on the reins desperately, but the two horses were like crazy and out of control.
Chapter completed!
