September is full of flowers

midsummer.

In the northern metropolis, the streets are deserted.The royal road paved with blue bricks on the street seems to be floating with a layer of heat.Occasionally, vendors wearing bamboo hats and carrying poles passed by, but they just lowered the brim of their hats, fearing that they would be poisoned by the scorching sun.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were exhausted, and they hid in a dark corner to cool off while the chief of the guard was away, but they didn't expect a bullock cart to come from the sidewalk outside the city gate.The cow was too hot to walk, as if it was going to faint at any moment.A flatbed cart without a roof was pulled behind, and two people in ragged clothes sat on the cart, one old and one young.

A wrinkled face, is an old woman.The other one was wearing a bamboo hat, with his head down, unable to see his face clearly.But look at the body and clothes like a teenage girl.

"Where did you come from, what are you doing in the city?" A guard was pushed out reluctantly, holding a spear in his hand, and asked lazily.

"We are from Xuancheng, and we come to seek refuge with our relatives." The old lady said tremblingly.

The guard raised his eyes, glanced at the girl, and said disdainfully, "Who do you want to take refuge in? Please report your address and name."

The metropolis is at the foot of the emperor, and outsiders should not be allowed to take refuge and live here, so as not to disturb the law and order.When the guard saw the costumes of the people on the ox cart, he already concluded in his heart that they were ordinary people.Normally, they can't be allowed to enter the city to take refuge and settle down, but they can't arrange people's families casually. If they are relatives and family members of the royal family, wouldn't they be neglecting them?

Although he has been guarding the city gate for a short time, he still understands that everything needs to be questioned and understood.

Sure enough, the little girl who had never spoken raised her head, looked at the guard with a pair of impressive light gray pupils, and said, "We are here to seek refuge with Ning Xiangye's family in Daducheng. He is my grandfather."
