Mysterious Tang Dynasty

110 The Return
Just play or something.

Li Lijun felt that when he stepped into Saga Bieye next time, there was a high probability that he would already be the owner of this place.She will keep filial piety for her mother here, and at the same time practice a lot, trying to get close to or even enter the foundation building stage within six years.If it is not absolutely necessary, in fact, she has no leisure to play around.

Speaking of the way of playing, what has she not experienced?

The journey back to Chang'an from Mount Saga is much shorter than when we started.Instead of going to Sanyuan County, they diverted to Yunyang Town, and then went to Jingyang County from Yunyang Town.

There was heavy rain a few days ago. Although the weather is clear now, the accumulated water on the ground cannot be drained in a short while.Li Lijun and his party walked for a day and endured a day of muddy roads. Twice on the way, the carriage carrying the luggage servants got stuck in the mud, and the guards had to do their best to lift the cart out.However, under Li Lijun's deliberate protection, although there were some small twists and turns on the road, they still arrived in Jingyang County safely before evening.

After resting in the inn in Jingyang County for one night, they set off again the next morning, heading for Xianyang from Jingyang County.On the way, they also need to cross the Jing River by boat.

Both sides of the Jing River are densely populated, and there are many people crossing the Jing River every day, so the boats at the ferry are constantly coming and going all day long.Li Lijun and the others hired several large boats with ease, and moved people, carriages, horses and luggage onto them.You only need to control the horses so that they don't move around, and Li Lijun and the maids didn't even need to get out of the carriage to reach the other side of the Jing River.

Since it took some time to cross the river, and the distance from Jingyang County to Xianyang City was relatively long, they didn't have time to enter the city before the gate of Xianyang City closed, so they had to find a relatively large inn outside the city to stay.

Xianyang is also a prosperous place in Guanzhong. It is less than a day's journey from Chang'an City, and it is densely populated. Therefore, the decoration, accommodation and service level of the inn are no worse than those in Chang'an City. Beautiful orchids perform dances, and there are also high-quality wines for sale.

After several days of hard work, during the period between Fengxian County and Saga Mountain, and because they had to guard Li Lijun, the fourth lady of the Sui Palace, to protect her safety, they did not dare to leave without permission. Tired, seeing the excitement in the export gold nest of Xianyang City, I couldn't help but feel a little ready to move.

However, Ding Wulang, who was in charge of the crowd, was very clear about it. He warned his subordinates: "Tomorrow you will be able to return to Chang'an City. After you hand in the errand, you will be able to take a few days off. Are you afraid that you will have no place to have fun? If you neglect your duties tonight and cause any trouble, the ten days of hard work of you and my brother will be in vain! Maybe you will be held accountable and punished. Are you willing?!"

That is of course not reconciled.You have been away from home for so long, and you are only one day away from receiving rewards and holidays, but something went wrong at this time?Only a fool can do such a thing!The restaurants and orchids in Xianyang are good, but there are better ones in Chang'an.I really can't bear it, go back tomorrow to hand in the errand, get a vacation, and then go to Xianyang to play for a few days, can't you?It's not bad for two days!

Therefore, the royal guards stayed in the inn very quietly tonight, and had a good night's rest. When they woke up the next morning, everyone was full of energy.

The itinerary for the third day is relatively simple.Although they have to cross the Weihe River, they don't need to take a boat.On the Weihe River, several bridges have been built since ancient times to facilitate the passage of the people.They walked to the nearest Zhongwei Bridge and soon reached the other side of the river.

When Li Lijun walked across the bridge in a carriage, through the curtain of the carriage, he saw many Hu people and Hu merchants leading camels or driving horse-drawn carriages back and forth on the bridge.This is the first bridge that the Silk Road passes after starting from Chang'an to the west, which has special significance.It's just that in the world of the Republic of China, she could no longer find the bridge.

This is probably the first time in her life that she has walked across the Zhongwei Bridge.During the whole process of crossing the bridge, she kept lifting the corner of the car curtain, watching everything outside quietly, as if she wanted to write down something.

Today they chose to take the Zhongwei Bridge, but in fact there are Dongwei Bridge and Xiwei Bridge.The Xiwei Bridge was set on fire by Yang Guozhong during the Anshi Rebellion, and it was completely abandoned at the end of Tang Dynasty.This is recorded in Li Lijun's Tang History Notes.She felt a little itchy in her heart, and really wanted to take a look at Xiwei Bridge.But then she thought again, what was destroyed in the Anshi Rebellion was not only the West Wei Bridge?
She likes the Chang'an City where she lives, and she also thinks that the Tang Dynasty where she was born is very good.In order to save Datang from the war, she should work harder.

When Li Lijun and his party arrived in Chang'an City, the sun was already westward.They entered the city from the Golden Light Gate in the west of the city, walked eastward along the main street, crossed the entire Chang'an City, and arrived at the Chunming Gate in the east, which was the city gate they walked through when they left the city that day.Daozhengfang, where the Sui Palace is located, is right next to Chunming Gate.

However, Chang'an City is more than 9000 meters long from east to west, and it takes a long time to ride in a horse-drawn carriage.The sun is already westward now, once the sun sets and the gates of the workshops are closed, their group of people may be blocked in the street, unable to return home.Thinking of the embarrassing situation, Ding Wulang and other guards, as well as the drivers in charge of driving, cheered up and moved forward without Li Lijun's orders.In any case, they must return to Daozhengfang before sunset!

There are not too few pedestrians on the street today, but the street is very spacious, more than 100 meters long, even if there is an endless stream of pedestrians and carriages, it will not hinder the progress of Li Lijun and his party.They walked quite smoothly. When they heard the sound of street drums before sunset, they had already reached the street north of Wubenfang. They only needed to walk through Pingkangfang and Dongshi to reach Daozhengfang.

Pedestrians on the street could not help speeding up their pace when they heard the beating of street drums, and quickly returned to their homes or the square where they lived.Ding Wulang hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pay attention to avoiding pedestrians, and don't make any accidents that affect their itinerary.

In fact, he was too worried.It is true that the pedestrians are in a hurry, but whether it is the color of the accompanying guard uniforms or the regulation of the carriage, it is obvious that the group of them is a noble family traveling, how can ordinary people dare to rush?Even if he is a son of a powerful family with no hatred or grudge, there is no need to make trouble when the street drum is beating and the door of the workshop is about to close, and harm others and himself.Therefore, when the passers-by saw them heading straight east, they all gave way at a long distance, and they would not hinder them at all.

When Ding Wulang saw this, he was quite happy at first, thinking that they would be able to enter Daozhengfang before the gate of the workshop closed.Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, they passed Pingkangfang smoothly, but were stopped at the intersection north of Dongshi.

At this time, pedestrians, carriages and horses should have been in a hurry to return to each square, but they were blocked at the intersection in the northwest of Dongshi. On the 100-meter-wide street, there was no way to find a slightly wider passage. Many carriages and horses were crowded together, and pedestrians could barely pass through it, but it was difficult for motorcades to move forward.

Ding Wulang never expected such an accident, so he hurriedly rode to Li Lijun's car to report.Before Li Lijun said anything, Nanny Cui became impatient: "Go ahead and find out what's going on?! The street drum has already been beaten nearly a hundred times. If we don't leave, we won't have time to go before the gate of the square is closed. !"

Ding Wulang also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go ahead to inquire.Not long after, the subordinate came back with a strange expression on his face.Ding Wulang's expression became strange after listening to his report.

He came to Li Lijun's carriage on horseback, whispered something to Nanny Cui, and Nanny Cui was startled: "What?! You said King Si and Mrs. Guo are in front?!"
