Turbulent Times Chapter 663: Taiyuan City

(Thank you very much for "Riding a Pig to the Theater" for another generous support of 5,000 coins and becoming the rudder of this book.)

Suddenly Wang Junlin's heart moved, and he turned around slowly, and saw a poplar forest on the southeast bank of the small river, with autumn leaves fluttering in the wind, and the trunks stabbing straight to the sky, looking like spears in the army Generally fortified.

A woman in a blue-black skirt stood in the woods, watching Wang Junlin and his party pass by on the bridge. The breeze blowing by the river lifted her hair, revealing a beautiful face and those clear eyes.

Wang Junlin recognized this woman as Zhang Chuchen at a glance, but the latter's face at this time was completely different from what they saw yesterday. Wang Junlin was not surprised by this at all. He and Nie Xiaoyu could become two other people, so naturally Zhang Chuchen could do the same.

…

…

Although after the influence of human life for more than half a year, especially Wang Junlin sometimes deliberately let Nie Xiaoyu touch some things deeply, making Nie Xiaoyu more and more humane, but in general, if there is nothing wrong, Wang Junlin If Jun Lin didn't take the initiative to ask, Nie Xiaoyu would be like a baby going out for the first time, staring out the window, full of interest in everything he could see, and then seemed to fall into an endless daze, even the king King's Landing was completely forgotten.

So along the way, Wang Junlin was very bored, thinking about other things besides practicing. The not-too-long official road seemed to never end. The yellow dust brought up by the four wheels of the carriage rose up on the wide road like a yellow dragon, but it was caught by the two rows of trees beside the road. Tethered firmly in the middle of the road, unable to jump out, it looked like it was struggling pitifully and writhing endlessly.

The trees on both sides of the official road, mainly poplar, have large or small leaves, but overall, they are much smaller than the leaves in the south. The trunk is thick and thick, and there is one tree separated by several feet. Wang Junlin stuck his head out of the carriage window, squinted his eyes, and watched the trees pass by his eyes against the wind. For some reason, he remembered the time when he took a train from Xi'an to Taiyuan in his later life. When passing through Shanxi at that time, the two sides of the railway track, that is, this kind of tree, also fell backwards in such a boring way.

The carriage designed and built by Nie Xiaoyu is very stable, and I don't know how to do it. There is no dust by the window, and the only people who eat dust are the Spring and Autumn slaves sitting on the groom's seat and the six swords guards on both sides serve.

The carriage gradually moved forward, and two days later, the dark shadow was finally seen clearly. At this time, the clouds under the sky also suddenly dispersed, as if to welcome the guests from afar, and cast the scorching light of autumn, shining on the On that shadow.

It turned out...it was a rather large city.

Of course, this city cannot be compared with Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, but it is also tall and majestic. People, an indescribable sense of oppression, it seems that the city wall may press you down at any time. There are still pavilions with double eaves on the city, perhaps used as turrets, and soldiers are walking and patrolling back and forth on the high city walls. This is the capital city of a state, and it is also a military city.

A majestic and majestic feeling emanates from this huge city wall.

On the official road, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Wang Junlin squinted his eyes and turned his head back from the window.

Taiyuan City has finally arrived. As long as one enters this city, there is a possibility of being trapped inside, or even losing one's life here.

Wang Junlin knows that Taiyuan City, as the capital city of Bingzhou in the Sui Dynasty, is actually the ancient city of Jinyang. In fact, the place where Taiyuan is located is the territory of Jinyang County. The capital of the Sui Dynasty was short-lived, and I don’t know how many winds and rains it has experienced. The outer edge of the huge bluestone has been weathered, but it still tenaciously maintains its hardness.

Wang Junlin has some emotions, his emotion is different from all travelers, because this city is another city he has seen in the past three years since he came to this world. The ancient city.

Moreover, there has always been a fresh taste in the ancient capital of the Sui Dynasty. Wang Junlin knew that it was because the capital was repaired every year, so it feels a bit inexplicable to be able to see ancient buildings today.

…

…

Taiyuan City can be regarded as a bustling area. Although the streets are not as wide as the capital city, there are restaurants and restaurants along the way, green tiles and pale walls, and tall trees. Exaggerated faces, ostentatious crossing the market, reckless, ordinary people look numb, disheveled, beggars can be seen everywhere. In short, the entire street looks like a bustling scene at first glance, but it is actually filled with a feeling of panic.

Wang Junlin did not choose to leave any mark of the South China Association, and secretly met with the trick of the secret code, but directly visited the door.

The streets of Taiyuan City are not complicated. Shan Xiongxin asked someone casually, and he asked about the residence of General Xiao Mahe, who is almost under one person and over ten thousand people in Bingzhou. Crossing the streets and alleys, Wang Junlin and his party came When they arrived outside Xiao Mahe's mansion, it was already dark, but they didn't enter the yamen in front of the mansion, they went straight to the corner gate in the north of the courtyard, and stopped ten steps away from the corner gate. Wang Junlin asked Shan Xiongxin to go up and call the gate .

Before Shan Xiongxin arrived at the door, a servant had already greeted him. Shan Xiongxin took out a jade tablet that Wang Junlin had just handed to him, handed it to the servant, and said loudly: "Excuse me, this is the mansion of Old General Xiao. Excuse me." The little brother said that there are juniors from the Jiangnan tribe coming to visit the elders!"

"This is the back house of Old General Xiao. Wait a minute, I'll deliver a message for you!" The servant's eyes flashed, and he quickly took the jade tablet and bowed to the ground.

Shan Xiongxin reached out to help each other, and when the other party got up, he stuffed a small piece of silver into his sleeve. Knowing that the young man in front of him had given him a lot of money, he thanked him and hurried in.

A moment later, hurried footsteps sounded again in the yard, and when the door opened, it was the servant from just now who came out. My master invites the distinguished guests to the front door, where he welcomes the distinguished guests!"

Shan Xiong said his thanks, Wang Junlin had already heard their conversation, and the group walked to the front door. to Fuchu.

Xiao Mahe's mansion is actually his office, and the Sui Dynasty inherited the Han system, and the government offices were all facing south. If the position is high enough to bring their family members to take office, the official's wife and children are usually placed in the back house of the office. .
