Chapter 1574 Yan Shi
The arrival of the Jinling Bird team immediately caused a commotion at the city gate. The escort entourage of the convoy was arrogant and scolded everyone to dodge. Many people in front of the gate saw these entourage riding tall horses and wearing swords on their waists. Although they couldn't stand the arrogant and domineering of these people, they did not dare to cause trouble. Many people immediately dispersed to both sides. The commotion here naturally aroused the alert of the soldiers guarding the city. The city gate captain led several soldiers to come forward, and frowned and shouted: "Who is here to be noisy?"
The man in blue with a long face went forward, and did not dismount. He said with a condescending sternness: "Miss Fang's car has arrived at Jinling Peacock Platform, so why don't you let someone go out of the way?" His voice was not loud, but he had a sense of power.
"Jinling Peacock Platform?" The city gate captain was obviously like Chu Huan, and had never heard of this title. He frowned and said, "Which Peacock Platform?"
At this time, a passerby next to him shouted: "Is it the Peacock Platform? The Peacock Platform is the number one opera troupe in Jinling, and it was granted by the emperor...!" This passerby obviously knew very well about the Peacock Platform.
The city gate captain understood, but said, "It's a opera troupe? Everyone is out of the horse and we have to check the salute. By the way, why do you wear swords? Do you know that the people cannot wear swords?"
"We are the martial artists of Peacock Platform." The man in green frowned and said, "The martial artists of Peacock Platform have been approved by the court. Do you want to resist the order?"
At this moment, an old man over fifty years old came from behind, wearing a blue brocade suit, short and fat, and looked very friendly. He came forward and bowed and smiled, "Several servants, we have been decreed to go to Hexi to celebrate the birthday of the emperor. It was the emperor's decree that we would go there, pass here, enter the city for a night, and leave tomorrow." Take out a yellow sign from his arms, "This is a pass-through order issued by the imperial court. The emperor had an order many years ago. The Peacock Platform is in the territory of the Qin Dynasty and can enter and exit any checkpoints at will, and you don't have to stick to the inspection. Two people take a closer look."
Chu Huan was actually quite a distance away from the old man, and the old man's voice was not very loud, but Chu Huan could hear clearly what he said. When the old man said he wanted to go to Hexi to celebrate the emperor's birthday, a light flashed through Chu Huan's eyes, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he winked at Qi Hong, then gently shook the reins of the horse, quietly wandering around the rear of the convoy. He stopped only five or six steps away from the rider behind the convoy.
When the riders saw someone behind, they looked back and saw Chu Huan lowering his head slightly, unable to see his face clearly. They just thought they were those who were queuing up to enter the city and didn't care. However, Chu Huan looked at the riders from behind. When he saw that these people were all tiger-backed and bear-backed, they all looked quite fierce.
Not too entangled, there was a sound from the city gate: "Let them enter the city first..." Then he heard a few shouts, and the team finally moved forward. It was obvious that the old man convinced the soldiers guarding the city that there was a token given by the court in his hand, and it was unobstructed and no one dared to check the vehicle. Chu Huan turned his head and whispered to Qi Hong: "Sabre!"
They didn't want to be too swaying on the way, so the swords were placed in the package under the saddle. Qi Hong was stunned when he heard Chu Huan say the swords, but instantly understood something. He quietly took out the swords and hung them around his waist. Chu Huan had already worn the blood-drinking swords around his waist. The team of Peacock Platform slowly moved forward, and Chu Huan was separated from the people in front of him by a short distance and followed behind.
The convoy of Peacock Platform entered the city without any obstacles. When the last few cavalry entered the city gate, Chu Huan looked at her eyes and lowered her head slightly. He had been a man in the West Mountain, but he was worried that someone familiar would recognize her. Fortunately, the guards at the city gate had obviously never seen Chu Huan before. But when he saw that Chu Huan and the other three were dressed differently from those in front, one of them stopped her. Chu Huan raised his hand, looked simple and pointed at the front. The soldier was a little hesitant and looked at the city gate captain next to him. The city gate captain waved his hand. Then Chu Huan shook his horse's reins generously and followed the team of Peacock Platform into the city.
After entering the city, Chu Huan slowed down his horse and distanced himself from the team ahead. Mei Niang laughed in a low voice: "Don't you want to see some of the beauty of Jinling Bird?"
Chu Huan asked, "Where do you think they are going?"
"Of course, the government office will not receive it." Mei Niang whispered: "Although Jinling Que has a good reputation and has a clearance token issued by the court, she is just a dancer after all, not an official family member, and the Xishan government will not receive it."
Chu Huan nodded slightly. In fact, he knew very well that although the Jinling Que was given the title of "National Princess" by the emperor, after all, he was just an actor and a lower-ranking figure, and was just a leader among the actors. Such a person, due to the emperor's original appreciation, would not be embarrassed, but he would not be able to make a name for himself.
"That can only be to Tianxiang Tower!" Chu Huan said to himself.
Mei Niang said strangely: "Tianxianglou?"
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Tianxianglou is the largest inn in Yunshan Mansion. Since Peacock Platform is the first troupe in Jinling, when you come to Yunshan, you will always choose a grand inn." He didn't say much, turned his horse's head and drove away. While he was running, he also took the weapons into the package with a tacit understanding with Qi Hong.
Chu Huan stayed in Yunshan Mansion for more than half a year. Although he didn't know the terrain of Yunshan Mansion, he knew the general location. He knew the approximate location of Tianxiang Tower and was galloping in the city. He found that patrol teams appeared from time to time in the city, and there were not as many pedestrians on the street as before. He always felt that the atmosphere in Yunshan Mansion was quite solemn.
Tianxianglou is indeed the largest inn in Yunshanfu City. It has been operating in Yunshanfu for many years. In front of it is a three-story restaurant, and behind the restaurant is a relatively open garden. Then it is a four-story inn that serves passenger accommodation. There are also special horse sheds and warehouses around the inn. The warehouse is used to store passengers' luggage and cargo, and the horse sheds are used to store horses. The inn is equipped with horse materials, which is cheap and fair.
Although Tianxianglou is expensive, Tianxianglou is naturally the first choice for people with status and status when they come to Yunshan.
"Brother Huan, do you want to live here, are you really waiting for them?" Mei Niang's eyelashes flashed and she came outside Tianxiang Tower and asked in a low voice: "If they don't live here, you will be in vain."
Chu Huan laughed and took the lead in dismounting, then whispered: "Didn't you hear that the Peacock Platform is going to Hexi? I was thinking about how to go to Hexi. You can't have headless flies running around in Hexi. Now it's God's help to send them."
"So that's it." Mei Niang immediately understood, "Do you want to use them to Hexi?"
Chu Huan nodded slightly and entered Tianxiang Building. A friend had already come to greet him. He immediately asked for two guest rooms and asked the friend to send the two horses to the horse shed for feeding.
The guy led Chu Huan out of the back door and went straight to the guest room behind. Chu Huan laughed and asked, "Is business good recently? Look at the streets a little deserted, not as prosperous as before."
The guy said: "Business is okay, and customers are indispensable every day... But recently, our Yunshan has been in a curfew. For another two hours, we will not be allowed to move around in the city."
"Oh?" Chu Huanqi said: "Why is this?"
The man said: "The guest official doesn't know anything. A few days ago, the Governor led his troops to Beijing to serve the king, leaving the Wei Governor to defend the city. From then on, the Wei Governor ordered the whole city to impose a curfew."
"Oh?" Chu Huan said: "I heard that the capital has fallen. Will Governor Qiao lead the troops back?"
The guy said, "I haven't heard that the Governor has returned to the city. I heard that the Governor was going to go to the capital to serve the king, but before I arrived in the capital, someone rebelled on the Jinling Road. The Governor led his troops to Jinling to suppress the rebellion... In the past two days, the guests said that the Governor had led his troops out of Jinling Road and stationed troops at the junction of Xishan and Jinling...!"
"So that's it." Chu Huan said: "It's said that Jinling is fighting now. The rebels fight in the nest. Governor Qiao retreated to the border and just sat in the mountains to watch the tiger fight."
The guy smiled and said, "I don't understand these principles, I just hope that our Yunshan will be peaceful..." Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But they said that the capital has been burned to a terrible sight. Our Yunshan..." He shook his head and felt a little sad.
The two rooms Chu Huan wanted were on the second floor of the inn. Chu Huan specially asked for a house that was leaning against. The man led it over and opened the door. Qi Hong was naturally a single room, and Chu Huan naturally lived with Mei Niang for granted.
The guy gave a few words, just to find where to find what you need. After retreating, Chu Huan closed the door. Mei Niang twisted her waist, walked to the bed, stretched her waist, leaned back on the bed, and there was hot tea in the room. Chu Huan poured a cup of tea, drank half a cup in one sip, and then said: "It's been strangling for so long, so it should be loose, so that they can breathe...!"
Mei Niang sat up, gave Chu Huan a blank look, and spat in a low voice, "Rogue..." She stood up, walked towards the screen in the corner, looked back, and said, "Stay honestly, don't peek."
Chu Huan said, "I never peek. If I want to, I still need to peek. Just look at it openly."
Mei Niang smiled charmingly and said in a charming voice: "What do you want to see?"
Chu Huan leaned on the chair and chanted softly: "The fragrance of powder and sweat wet the jade zither, and the spring teasing and melting the rain ointment. After bathing, the sandalwood and the sandalwood are swayed, and the powdered grapes are radiated in the sun."
Mei Niang didn't understand for a moment and said strangely: "What does this mean?"
"It's just a poem." Chu Huan laughed and said, "You should know that I am both civil and military."
Mei Niang's charming eyes turned around and soon realized that in this poem, there was "pink fragrance", "rain cream", and "pink grapes". She already understood that Chu Huan looked serious and seemed very elegant, but she recited a erotic poem.
