At dusk, the sky in the northwest is much brighter. The stunning sunset lights intersect and collide with each other, and combined with the huge round sun that blends with the western mountains, it seems to form a beautiful sunset cloud picture.
Elongated slanting shadows can be seen everywhere in Yingzhou City. Two children were kept at home by adults for several days. They finally slipped out and planned to have a good time. However, they fell to the ground while running and happened to block a carriage.
On the way, looking at the ferocious-looking man in front of the carriage, the girl sitting on the ground was so frightened that she cried out.
At this moment, the handsome man who was following the carriage quickly walked up, helped the little girl up, and then dusted her body for her: "Is everything okay?"
The sobbing girl silently held back her tears and looked at Tang Ji longingly.
Soon, a woman ran over quickly, held a child with one hand, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm so sorry..."
Tang Ji waved his hand to indicate it was okay, and then gave the little girl a smile.
When the woman and the two children stepped aside, the carriage started moving again, and he returned to the carriage.
Because only one carriage was prepared, everyone except Fang Wei had to walk to the Beidu Palace. However, according to the current situation, even if the carriage could accommodate multiple people or there were other carriages, it would not be convenient for Tang Ji and the others to ride. So,
The Beidu Palace is not too far from the inn.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a mansion.
Tang Ji turned around and looked around. Just from the appearance, he could see how luxurious this mansion was. The entrance hall alone was dozens of steps away, not to mention the walls extending out on both sides. It was impossible to see the edges.
To describe it, the green tiles on the eaves are still shining brightly, and there are many exquisite patterns carved on the door beams. On the plaque above, the four golden characters "Beidu Prince's Palace" are particularly grand. The two stone lions in front of the door are very domineering.
Several long and wide stone steps extend out.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most luxurious mansion he has seen during his trip to the northwest.
Soon, Fang Wei got off the carriage and looked up a few times.
Butler Liu, who was standing at the gate, also quickly came over to greet him: "Hahaha, Master Fang, I just came back not long ago, I didn't expect you to be the first to arrive!"
"Your Majesty invites you, so naturally I have to come over early." Fang Wei responded politely.
Liu Qicai nodded with satisfaction, then turned sideways, spread his hands and made a "please" gesture: "Master Fang, please come inside."
In this way, everyone walked towards the palace. When they were about to reach the gate, Liu Qicai noticed that Hua Yuan'er was holding a sword in his hand and continued: "Little brother, you are not allowed to bring weapons into the palace. Please leave the sword in the concierge.
When you come out, the guards in the mansion will return it to you."
Hearing this, Tang Ji frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, not only was Yingzhou City heavily guarded, but even the Beidu Palace was impeccable.
Hua Yuan'er didn't care. He didn't often use a sword. It didn't matter whether he had it or not. He threw the long sword to the guard standing by the door and followed him in.
In the end, five people followed Fang Wei into the palace.
But as soon as he stepped into the front yard, Liu Qicai turned around and stopped everyone, and said with a smile: "Master Fang, just come with the old slave. The rest can go to the west hall, where not only food is prepared, but also dancing can be seen.
