With mountains and rivers as its back and rivers and seas as its four hooves, it is surrounded by huge dragon horn runes, emitting dark blue light.
Different from the 睚眦 beast, the ancient beast in front of me has peaceful features, lying prone on the shore. In the distance, there is a line of water and sky, and the sound of fairy is lingering, with the power to cleanse the soul.
Liu Ruyan was bathed in the fairy sound and could not return to her senses for a long time. It was not until the illusion gradually faded away that she murmured to herself: "Could this ancient beast be related to the murderer?"
The so-called truth is like a fog. The closer you get, the more unfathomable it becomes.
But there was no turning back. Now that she had chosen to take this step, whether she defected or was wanted, she would not be able to let go of the blood feud she had carried in her two lives for a day until she uncovered the truth.
"Yexun, re-plan the route to Jinyang City in Taiyuan Prefecture. I want to go to Beijing."
Liujiazhuang is located in Liaozhou, adjacent to the capital. It only takes three days at most to take the official road. But now, she has to change her strategy and take a bypass road.
The young man was walking side by side with her, and when he heard that his host was going to Jinyang, he was surprised and said, "Going to Beijing is a trap."
Liu Ruyan's eyebrows were light: "The iron box is missing. The Han Emperor listened to the advice of Jiang Fengjun, the governor of Liaozhou, and allowed our innocent soldier Yigan from Liujiazhuang to be wronged and bear the infamy for eternity. Not only that, the imperial court will also recall those who lurked in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty.
, scouts from Southern Han and other countries, the country will be shaken and the Han Dynasty will be in danger. Only by entering the capital can the Han Emperor take back his holy will."
"That's what I say, but it's too dangerous for the host to come to Beijing." He persuaded.
"I have made up my mind..."
"What do you want me to say?" Ye Xun sighed, that's all. Since he lives and dies with his host, he can only do his best.
After re-planning the route, Liu Ruyan exchanged a hat from the system mall, put it on her head, and continued walking towards the city gate while holding the pony.
According to the memory of the previous life, the government imposed martial law throughout the city, and the people had to "pass through" when leaving or entering the city.
A pass is a common document stamped by the government.
She planned to go to the city gate to explore the truth.
Walking slowly up the bluestone road, the vendors along the street shouted loudly and sold various goods.
Liu Ruyan casually took a water bag from the horse, but found that there was no water left in it.
She walked to the nearest teahouse, handed the cowhide water bag to the waiter who greeted guests, and then ordered a piece of cake to be packed away.
"Sir, please have a seat inside. The cake will be ready soon." The waiter was very familiar and asked Liu Ruyan to come inside and sit down.
The waiter bowed and made a pot of tea, then looked up at her and said, "Your Majesty, are you going on a long trip? The world is not peaceful these days. The city gates are under martial law and the people are suffering."
"Is there such a thing?" Liu Ruyan chatted with her, "Logically speaking, it should be easy to leave the city but difficult to enter."
"What the guest officer said was in the past." The clerk lowered his voice and said, "Now if you want to go out of town, you have to go to the government office and go through the formalities. Not only do you have to state your ancestors for three generations, but you also have to have neighbors as witnesses.
The government checks the household registration and verifies one by one the name, age, place of origin, identity, appearance, and even the reason for going out, the names of places along the way, the items carried, etc. "
"So trivial?"
The clerk clicked his tongue and said, "No, we have a traitor here right now. He was instigated by the enemy to rebel, and he betrayed his country for glory. Hehe, that kid is a good disguiser and very cunning."
Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "If there is any real evidence to prove it, this traitor is indeed shameful."
"Sir, your cake is good!"
The boy came back and handed the oil paper bag to the boy: "There is also a water bag, please go slowly."
The waiter bowed slightly, and when he stood up, he suddenly knocked down the bamboo hat Liu Ruyan was wearing, revealing her covered eyebrows.
Air condensation!
The diners sitting in the hall glanced at her face in unison, lingering on her face for a moment, and then turned their eyes away.
The waiter quickly bent down, picked up the bamboo hat, and patted the dust off: "The little one was clumsy and bumped into the guest officer."
Liu Ruyan's expression did not change.
She took the bamboo hat, hung the water bag back on her waist, stepped out of the threshold, and went to lead the pony tied on the porch.
Behind her, several diners who were sitting suddenly put down their bowls and chopsticks, and followed her with their eyes.
One person and one horse, walking on the bustling street.
The moment she turned the corner, Liu Ruyan suddenly got on her horse and galloped wildly.
The faces of the diners who were following him in secret changed greatly: "Catch him quickly, it's Mr. Qianyan!"
"Catch the traitor!"
The crowds in the busy city were boiling, rushing onto the streets.
Liu Ruyan frowned.
The streets became more and more crowded, and the people all scorned and cursed her. They raised their objects and threw them at her.
For a while, the streets were dirty and messy.
Yebai has been tempered by the war and remains stable in the face of adversity. It is like a black lightning that quickly shuttles through the sea of people.
Just as they were about to evacuate the busy city, at this moment, another group of officers and soldiers came from the front, holding horizontal knives and blocking the way.
Human wall, knife net, and trapped beast fight.
The officers and soldiers leading the team raised their wanted notices and looked past the portrait above to the face of the rider.
"That's him. Anyone who catches this person will be rewarded!"
The soldiers who were still a little flinched at first, but after hearing the reward, they all clenched their sabers and raised their swords in the direction of Liu Ruyan.
However, the speed of the man on the horse did not slow down, and he came in haste like a black hurricane chasing the wind and dust.
Fifty steps.
Thirty steps.
Ten steps.
Several soldiers turned pale and couldn't help but shrink their heads. Some even took a few steps back secretly and hid behind the human wall.
Eight steps.
Five steps.
Finally there are only three steps left!
Soon enough, Liu Ruyan took action quickly. A long rope tied with stones was thrown into the air, wrapped around the tree trunks on both sides of the street, and built a cantilever beam in mid-air.
Almost at the same time, the black horse raised its front hooves and jumped into the air, its mane flying and dust stirring.
The horse's hooves stepped on the rope, and with a little help in mid-air, it soared into the sky again!
The officers and soldiers standing below all raised their heads.
Look at the strong black horse leaping overhead, and the young man on the horse with stern eyebrows, dressed in black and flying in the air. Under the winter sun, a cold moon scimitar flashes with cold light.
This is the most outstanding scout of the Han Dynasty, Mr. Qianyan.
Everyone was dumbfounded, watching helplessly as she crossed the human wall and walked away, the black figure gradually disappearing at the end of the road.
"Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and give chase!"
Seeing more officers and soldiers chasing after her, Liu Ruyan frowned and immediately called up the topographic map of the nearby streets. Following the map's guidance, she sped towards a secluded area, getting rid of those behind her first.
Mo Lin Zhai is a famous century-old elegant pavilion in Linnan City. It has gathered many literati and elegant guests, and it is a unique place to meet friends with poems. A book called "Flower Room Collection" contains Mo Lin Zhai's poems, which are widely praised by future generations.
In such an elegant place, it is natural that the rich and powerful are indispensable. Liu Ruyan stared at the ink plaque in front of her and finally climbed over the wall and entered.
There are three friends of Suihan planted in the wall. In addition, the green-gray pink walls are quiet and elegant. Not far away, the simple and broad-minded music of the piano is faintly heard.
She walked around the bamboo forest, climbed up the ladder, and followed the sound of the piano to the elegant pavilion. Inside the main hall, the reed curtains were like screens, dividing the hall into several elegant rooms.
The mat curtains are plain and simple, with a few brushstrokes depicting common small scenes in the world, which is quite Zen-like.
When the breeze blows, the mat curtains flutter, and the tassels on the bottom are like reeds by the river, fluttering in the wind with a soft and peaceful posture.
