Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 204 Encounter on a Broken Bridge

Since coming to Hangzhou, Guan Xuqing has only felt the prosperity that is often boasted in the memorials of the prefect of Hangzhou.This time, he was not notified that Shengjia had come to Hangzhou, nor did he choose to come here on holidays or new year.But the prosperous and lively scene in Hangzhou still surprised Guan Xuqing a little.

After having breakfast that day, Guan Xuqing took Luo Ming, Feng Xianghua, and Liang Qi out of the inn.Of course, there are a large number of guards who either overtly or covertly protect Guan Xuqing comprehensively, and those who are known as the top ten masters of the palace, such as Huang Feihong, Huo Yuanjia, Yanzi Li San, Da Dao Wang Wu, etc., follow Guan Xuqing closely.

When you come to Hangzhou, of course you have to walk the Broken Bridge, which is famous all over the world for the White Snake and Xu Xianhe.A group of monarchs and ministers came to the Broken Bridge. The Duan Bridge was simple and comfortable, lying on the Baidi. There is also a saying in Hangzhou folk songs that "the Broken Bridge never stops".Whenever it snows, stand at the bridgehead and enjoy the snowy scenery of lakes and mountains, which is extraordinarily enchanting.The folktale The Legend of the White Snake describes that the White Lady and Xu Xian met here.At the northeast end of the bridge, there are "clouds, water and light" water pavilions and "broken bridge and snow" stele pavilion.

Guan Xuqing sat down in the pavilion, Huang Feihong and others immediately stood around important positions to guard, while Feng Xianghua, Luo Ming, and Liang Qichao sat around Guan Xuqing.

"The ancients said that there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. It really lives up to its reputation. Look at the two peaks in the north and south facing each other. The mountains in between are undulating for tens of miles. The scenery is intriguing. If it is the rainy season, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the two peaks are hidden. , the scenery is like a landscape painting with splashed ink." Guan Xuqing said, pointing to the continuous mountain peaks opposite.

"That's right, it's all due to the emperor's good governance. The people in Hangzhou have enough food and clothing, and they have reached the point where they don't pick up things on the road and don't close their houses at night." Liang Qichao said quickly.

Guan Xuqing waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Don't flatter me, not all places in the Qing Dynasty are as rich as Hangzhou. Many provinces have not even solved their food and clothing. Didn't we just come from Henan! We haven't seen the people there. It’s still a problem to eat!”

"Your Majesty, this place is a scenic spot. There are many tourists, why not?" Luo Ming said worriedly.

Guan Xuqing didn't wait for him to finish, so he interrupted: "I just want to come to this place of interest and historic interest, do I deserve to just stay in the streets and alleys?"

"The slave dare not, the slave is worried about the emperor's safety!" Luo Ming was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to his knees.

"Get up, I'm not the emperor now, listen carefully. Don't call me the emperor, call me the young master. We came here from the capital to do business! Do you understand?" Guan Xuqing said to everyone.

"twitter."

Guan Xuqing nodded with a smile, and suddenly heard a quarrel outside the pavilion.

"Get out of the way, my girl, or I will make you look good!" A girl drew her long sword and shouted at Wang Wu.She is wearing a pink gown with a wider body, but it can't hide her elegant curves. The shape is straight and tough, and the dress is ankle-length.The Yuanbao collar is high enough to cover the cheeks and touch the earlobe. The body of the robe is embroidered with various patterns, and the collar, sleeves, skirt, and skirt have multiple and wide piping.

"Girl, my young master is resting here. You'd better come back later!" The majestic swordsman Wang Wu couldn't pay attention to this seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, but because of Guan Xuqing's order, he must restrain his edge when he was outside.Otherwise, she would have been picked up and thrown back to where she came from.

"Ha yo, what a big tone. Your young master wants to rest, why don't you let him in? Miss Ben has to go in today." The woman drew her sword and stabbed at Wang Wu's face. .

Wang Wu didn't answer, he stretched out his right hand without avoiding it and pinched the right hand of the girl holding the sword, and exerted a little force, only to see the girl let go of the sword and yelled loudly.

"Oh, you bully the weak woman because of the number of people. Let go, let go." The woman's originally upright facial features are now twisted together.

"Stop." Behind the girl, a young man in navy blue military uniform led five or six people over, and the young man in military uniform shouted loudly.

Wang Wu wanted to let go, but because of the young man's arrogance, he continued to pinch the girl's veins, and it seemed to be tighter than before.The girl screamed even louder!
"Let go." Guan Xuqing saw it all, and shouted at Wang Wu.

After hearing Guan Xuqing's words, Wang Wu, who was still arrogant just now, obediently withdrew his right hand in an instant.The woman hurriedly backed away, not bothering to pick up the sword on the ground, and hurriedly touched her right hand with her left hand, and said to the young man behind her, "Brother, why did you come here? They are actually ignoring me here , look at just a few people occupying a pavilion and refusing to let them in. Is there any law?"

"Hmph, who are you? Why did you beat someone?" The young man put his hands on his waist, and stroked the holster around his waist with his right hand from time to time.This action immediately made all the guards present nervous.

Guan Xuqing was very relaxed, stood up calmly, walked towards the young man, and said as he walked, "People from the lower capital came to Hangzhou to do business. The servants are vulgar and ignorant of the rules and hurt your sister by mistake. I hope you will forgive me."

"Excuse me? Your people beat my sister, can it be over with a word of forgiveness? Let me try it too!" The young man punched Guan Xuqing as he spoke.

The distance between the two was only five steps, and the young man obviously had a bit of boxing skills, and his speed was not ordinary.At least in Guan Xuqing's view, the fist was already in front of him in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't dodge it.

"Peng"

Huo Yuanjia stood in front of Guan Xuqing, and in a split second he had already come in front of Guan Xuqing and punched the young man.

After the two fists collided, there was a muffled sound, and the young man took more than ten steps back before he managed to stabilize his figure.Huo Yuanjia, on the other hand, remained motionless on the spot, looking as stable as Mount Tai.

"Your Excellency is very skilled, I don't know your name!" The young man suddenly respected Huo Yuanjia, but he forgot about his sister being bullied.

Huo Yuanjia didn't say a word, but turned around and asked softly: "Young master is frightened, please avoid him."

After all, this young man in military uniform had a pistol pinned to his waist. If he hadn't punched him just now, he would have just drawn his gun and shot.Then even the gods can't save it, so Huo Yuanjia wants the emperor to leave here first.

"No, my young master is in a good mood today. Seriously, I have never seen a person in military uniform so poor in martial arts? Which army do you belong to?" Guan Xuqing said to the young man with a smile.

"My brother hasn't joined the army yet, otherwise how could you be his opponent? Our father got this clothes!" The girl said from the side, it seemed that her hands didn't hurt much anymore.

Only then did Guan Xuqing see clearly that this was a military uniform with a general star on it.How could the rank of Major General at least at the level of a division commander be possessed by this flamboyant young man in front of him? What a fool.

"I said why the soldiers don't cut their braids, so they are fakes wearing military uniforms?" Luo Ming joked beside him.
