The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

This is also caused by the drop in water level.

Secondly, in fact, it is also because some boatmen or boatmen who are familiar with the water pattern will basically not tell others.

After all, this is the ability of people to eat, and no one can blame it.

To blame can only be blamed on him being too greedy, in order to save the wages of an old boatman, this scene happened today.

After the boat arrived at that place, Zhong Wen made a special effort to check it out.

Fortunately, Zhong Wen's eyes are relatively sharp, and he can vaguely see a sharp rock under the water.

And Zhong Wen's ship is only a passenger ship, not a cargo ship, and its draft is not as deep as that of a cargo ship. Even if it passes over the sharp rock, it is basically fine.

In the evening, the boat finally arrived at Fengzhou Wharf, and this trip was also a transit point for the Zhong Wen brothers and sisters.

Because, the waterway from Fengzhou to Huanghua County basically has no boats, and because the water level of Jialing Water has dropped, some boats no longer go to Huanghua County.

3 Chapter Sixty

After a few days, the two brothers and sister Zhong Wen left Fengzhou, hired a carriage, and drove all the way to Chencang.

On the official road from Fengzhou to Chencang, apart from Zhong Wen's carriage, there were also some other pedestrians.

Although few, but occasionally can see some.

After all, after the first day of the year, the snow began to melt gradually, but it still couldn't stop some businessmen, or some pedestrians who needed to go to Chencang.

"Brother, when will the carriage arrive in Chang'an?" This was Xiaohua's nagging again.

Zhong Wen has already ignored his younger sister's inquiries now, and doesn't even want to reply.

However, Xiao Hua's mouth still wouldn't stop, even if Zhong Wen didn't want to answer her, she would still ask the driver.

After another few days, the carriage finally arrived at Sanguan.

Sanguan can be said to be the main throat of Sichuan and Shanxi. It was originally a pass for the scattered countries in the Zhou Dynasty, so it is called Sanguan. Moreover, the plank road was built in the open, and Chen Cang was secretly built, which means that Liu Bang passed through the pass.

The Sanguan Pass of the Tang State is still an important pass, and many soldiers are stationed at the starting point.

"Little sister, after going through Sanguan in a while, we will be able to reach Chencang today, and we will change to a boat tomorrow, and we will be able to reach Chang'an the day after tomorrow." Zhong Wen pointed to Sanguan not far away, and introduced to Xiaohua.

In fact, Zhong Wen has never been here, but he has seen some maps at this time, relatively speaking, he also understands where this place is located.

As for after arriving at Chencang, it is not far from Chang'an. If the journey is three or four hundred miles, if you take a smooth ride, you can set off in the morning and arrive before dark.

But if it doesn't go well, it will only be the next day to arrive at Chang'an City.

"Brother, let's go quickly." At this time, Xiao Hua, as long as she heard the word Chang'an, she would definitely be excited, and she was no longer in the state when she came out of the house.

Zhong Wen shook his head, and urged the coachman to hurry towards the pass.

Originally, Zhong Wen wanted to introduce Sanguan to this girl, or introduce what should be introduced next, such as Chen Cang.

Well, Zhong Wen has given up treatment.

The coachman drove the carriage, and not long after, after inspection, he passed the clearance.

After clearing customs, go straight to the Guanzhong Plain, and arrive at Chencang at Shenshi in the afternoon.

Chencang belongs to Qizhou.

In history, it can be said to be famous, and likewise, it is also a battleground for military strategists.

After all, Guanzhong is a land of prosperity, and it is also a flat river.

As long as you occupy this warehouse, you can basically go straight to Chang'an.

On the same day, Zhong Wen didn't hurry any more, and chose a slightly better guest house to go down.

On the other hand, it was Xiaohua, who was so excited that she almost lost her edge.

Perhaps, the longing for Chang'an is everyone's dream in this era, let alone Xiaohua.

"Brother, is there any good food in Chang'an City? Also, the one you told me last time is called Huilai Guest House. Do I want to live there in the future? Also, she also lives in Ren Zhu. Is it there? And..." That night, Xiao Hua opened her mouth again.

Along the way, Zhong Wen had explained to her countless times, and now he started asking questions again.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right, um, yes..." Zhong Wen didn't want to talk to her, so he could only reply word by word.

Zhong Wen has already learned about his little sister's nagging.

If I say a few more words, I definitely don't want to sleep well tonight.

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you, it's always like this." Xiaohua knew that Zhong Wen didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she snorted coldly and went to imagine the scene of Chang'an City on her own.

It was a quiet night, and Zhong Wen woke up early in the morning.

After finishing everything, carrying the burden and holding the sword, he took Xiao Hua to Chen Cangnan Wharf.

Afterwards, took a boat and started heading towards Chang'an.

It was not until the evening that Zhong Wen and the others arrived at a wharf dozens of miles away from Chang'an.

That night, Zhong Wen, brother and sister, had to live in a guest house near the pier.

And this night was also Zhong Wen's most painful night.

Perhaps it was because she was about to arrive in Chang'an, the girl Xiao Hua had already reached a frenzied rhythm, and she was pulling Zhong Wen all night to say what she wanted to say and ask.

sleepy?

Two words, no way!

And Zhong Wen is also helpless in helplessness.

He couldn't bear to fight, and he couldn't open his mouth to scold, so he had to accompany the girl to make a fuss, closing his eyes and squinting for a while from time to time.

As for Xiaohua, she basically never closed her eyes the whole night, let alone slept.

This also caused the room next door to remind her several times, but they couldn't stop Xiaohua's movements.

Early in the morning, the brother and sister boarded the boat with a pair of panda eyes on their backs, and continued to head towards Chang'an.

"Brother, brother, is that Chang'an City? Is that Chang'an City?" At noon, the ship arrived in Xianyang, and as soon as it got to the pier, Xiaohua screamed like a lunatic.

"Yes, that's Chang'an City, let's go." Zhong Wen looked at the crowd with contempt when they got off the boat, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Hua to the front.

Xianyang is only about ten miles away from Chang'an City, but you can see Chang'an City in the distance at a glance.

But when Xiao Hua was led by Zhong Wen, she still didn't want to, so she broke free and ran forward, as if she wanted to run all the way to Chang'an City.

Originally, Zhong Wen wanted to hire a carriage so that he could arrive at Chang'an City earlier, but seeing Xiao Hua's condition, he had no choice but to trot and follow.

"Brother, Chang'an City, hurry up, let's go quickly, I want to see what Chang'an City looks like, and, I want to go to the city wall to see what Chang'an City is like." Xiaohua looked at her brother. It seemed to be walking very slowly, and the eagerness was a bit too much.

"Can you slow down? You want to exhaust your brother and me to death." Zhong Wen couldn't stand this girl any longer, so he had to run over and hold Xiao Hua to prevent her from running too fast, so that she was thrown away. .

Nearly half an hour later, the brother and sister arrived not far from the Kaiyuan Gate in the West City of Chang'an City following some pedestrians.

"Brother, Chang'an City, I'm in Chang'an, hahahaha." Xiao Hua looked at the tall city wall, stopped there, looked at the Chang'an city wall, and laughed.

A country girl, she had never seen such a tall city wall, she was really shocked and didn't know how to describe it.

Even though the clothes that Xiao Hua was wearing at this time were not bad, they were still some ordinary clothes, not clothes made of silk or silk.

This made the pedestrians look at Xiao Hua as if they were seeing a fool.

Perhaps, for these pedestrians, they have been to Chang'an City countless times, but they really don't understand how excited a girl is.

Zhong Wen didn't care about her, no matter what happened to his little sister, he could only accept it, not to mention that he had already arrived in Chang'an City, and his ears would be quiet.

Moreover, Xiaohua's current state is not as high as when she first arrived in Chang'an City, but she is more excited.

After a long time, after Xiaohua passed the city wall of Chang'an, her face was full of excitement, but her eyes were looking towards the opening of the far gate.

"Okay, let's go, let's talk about entering the city." Zhong Wen understood that the excitement of his little sister had begun to dissipate, but he was still very happy, and began to think about entering the city.

After passing through the doorway, Xiao Hua's eyes are no longer her own.

Whether it's the soldiers guarding the city gate, or the passers-by, or the layout of the city, it started to drive this girl crazy again and again.

"Brother, look, there is a man with yellow hair, why does he look so strange?" Xiao Hua pointed to a foreigner and asked Zhong Wen loudly.

"That's from Fanbang, that is, from the west side of the Western Regions, not from my Tang country." Zhong Wen explained to Xiaohua.

"Brother, I want to go to the city wall to have a look. I want to see how big Chang'an City is. Also, I want to see what Chang'an City looks like. After I go home, I want to tell Second Sister and the others about it." Let’s talk about Chang’an City.” At this moment, Xiao Hua was thinking of going up the city wall to have a look.

In such a state, in such a form, it's really called, it's not a family, don't enter a family.

When Zhong Wen once came to Chang'an for the first time, he immediately wanted to go up to the city wall to see it.

But now, this scene once again appeared on his little sister.

But at this time, no matter whether they were pedestrians or soldiers not far away, they looked at Xiao Hua as if they were looking at a fool.

Because they know that not everyone can climb the Chang'an City Wall.

Even if you have some status or honor, you may not be able to go up. After all, the city wall is a place of control, and it is impossible for outsiders to go up without a warrant or order.

After Zhong Wen listened to his little sister's words, he didn't feel anything. Anyway, he felt that his little sister seemed to be in the same state as when he first came to Chang'an.

As for whether he can go, Zhong Wen doesn't care.

"You, come here." Zhong Wen thought, in order to fulfill his little sister's wish, he must let his little sister go up to the city wall to have a look, and then pointed to a school captain to let him come over.

And the school lieutenant at the city wall kept looking at the idiot-like brother and sister, wanting to drive them away, but he didn't do anything wrong, so he just watched it as a joke.

However, when he was concentrating on watching this excitement, he didn't expect that the young man pointed at himself and called him over, and he suddenly became angry.

"Boy, who are you referring to? Who are you asking to come over? See if I can beat..." When the captain approached Zhong Wen and was about to punch Zhong Wen, he suddenly realized that the young man in front of him , took out a piece of Token Fish Talisman, his neck flinched in fright.

He didn't recognize the token, but he had definitely seen the style. Moreover, he could tell from the token that the young man in front of him was still a man of honor.

"My little sister wants to go up to the city wall to see if you can make the decision. If you can't make the decision, then go and notify your superior." Zhong Wenliang said to the captain after flashing the token.

As for the fact that the school lieutenant wanted to beat someone, Zhong Wen wouldn't bother with him either.

"Yes, County Marquis, I'm going to report to the superior." The school lieutenant cupped his hands, turned and left immediately.

He didn't want to offend a county marquis. Moreover, he didn't know Zhong Wen, let alone met him. Such a young county marquis, even a fool could think that this must be a big shot.

At this time, Xiao Hua was still looking around, she didn't pay attention to what her brother was going to do, at this time, all her thoughts were curious, how could she pay attention to some small things.

Besides, Xiaohua thinks that her brother is the Marquis of Miantu County, or the governor of Lizhou, a big official, and if she wants to come to Chang'an, she will not dare to offend anyone.

Chapter 361 The Holy Lord Speaks to Xiaohua

Not long after, a general ran from a distance.

"It turned out to be the Marquis of Zhong County. I met the Marquis of Zhong County." The general who ran over saw Zhong Wen, and cupped his hands towards Zhong Wen.

"You know me?" Zhong Wen was a little puzzled, looking at the general in front of him, as if he had never seen him before.

"That is, I don't need to know others, but I must know Zhongxianhou. I heard that my subordinates said that Zhongxianhou is going to go up the city wall. I can decide this matter and let Zhongxianhou go up." Quite politely, he said bluntly that he can make the decision.

"Then thank you General, then I will take my little sister up to have a look, and I won't stay for too long." Zhong Wen got a response and cupped his hands to show his thanks.

"Mr. Zhong County is polite, please." The general stretched out his hand and said.

"Little sister, let's go, brother will take you up the city wall to have a look." Zhong Wen got a response, and shouted at Xiao Hua who was still watching not far away.

"Brother, can you go up? Let's go." Hearing her brother's shout, Xiao Hua ran towards the entrance of the city wall stairs bouncing up and down.

After Zhong Wen bowed his hands to the general, he also followed.

"You stay here and watch, I'll go back when I go." The general saw that Zhong Wen's brother and sister had already followed the steps up the city wall, and after giving instructions to the school lieutenant, he went directly to the horse storage point. .

After a while, he just rode away and didn't go up with Zhong Wen to see anything at all.

Zhong Wen's sudden return to Chang'an is a big deal.

Therefore, he had to report to his superior, not to mention that it was Zhong Wen who came.

He has met Zhong Wen before, but he is not familiar with him, and he has never spoken to him.

But to him, more than a year ago, the events in Miyagi were still in front of his eyes, and the county lord in front of him was a super expert.

At that time, he also participated in that fight, and because of that incident, he was also promoted, otherwise, it would be his turn to guard the city of Chang'an.

……

"What did you say? The Taoist chief came to Chang'an? He brought a little lady with him? Is it his little sister?" Not long after, Li Shan from Miyagi was rewarded by the general.

"Going back to Commander Li, the Marquis of Zhong County is probably taking his little sister to enjoy the scenery of my Chang'an city on the city wall." The general responded cautiously.
