After sitting in the carriage for so long, it was rare for Liu She to come out and relax his stiff and sore limbs. Otherwise, his muscles would protest. "In another half a day's journey, we will be able to enter the city … I haven't been here for a few years, but Shangjing is still bustling …"
The outside world was about to turn upside down, but the majestic Shangjing was still singing and dancing, which made Liu She, who was used to desolation, very uncomfortable.
The imperial family of Dongqing had no other skills, but they were good at seeking pleasure and pretending to be peaceful.
With such a weak and incompetent Imperial Family, it was no wonder that the Shangyang Palace could not be protected and was burned to the ground.
Liu She's head hurt when he thought of the mastermind who burned down Shangyang Palace and massacred the imperial family.
The mastermind was none other than Qiguan Rang, Prince Shouchang's advisor.
Yes, he heard it right. It was that Qiguan Rang!
A counselor of low birth, a treacherous character, ruthless methods, and a counselor whose loyalty had all been fed to dogs.
Gu Min didn't know much about history. Most of what she knew was from TV dramas, so she only remembered three things about Qiguan Rang.
First, he burned down Shangyang Palace and killed the men of Dongqing's imperial family.
Second, he caused the empress to lose three cities in a row.
Third, he set up a trap in the prison and caused the former master's good situation to collapse instantly. He lost everything and surrendered to the empress on the day the city opened.
When everyone was pleading for mercy for their former master, hoping that the empress would spare the life of the former master, Prince Changshou, and just imprison him. This would also show off her benevolence. The empress asked for Qiguan Rang's opinion, but he actually insisted on beheading him and eliminating the root of the problem.
He even said a very famous sentence — —
A good bird chooses a tree to nest in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. Since he betrayed me, why should I care about him?
Listening to him, it was as if he had been cheated on by Prince Changshou.
Others would at most whine when they were cheated on, but Qiguan Rang directly killed the old master's family.
Although he didn't know why Qiguan Rang knew his daughter early, it was still a good thing.
Without the help of Qiguan Rang, the timid and hesitant Prince Changshou wouldn't be able to do anything.
When the sun was high in the sky, they finally saw the towering city wall.
Liu She was lost in his thoughts. Cheng Cheng, who was riding parallel to him, used his hands to cover his eyes. Suddenly, he let out a sound of surprise and smiled faintly.
"Did you see someone familiar?" Liu She followed Cheng Cheng's line of sight. In the distance, there was a luxurious carriage with a thin gauze draped over it. A blurry figure was sitting inside. Around the carriage stood hundreds of armored guards with long spears in their hands.
In addition, there were a few young men dressed in Confucian robes with their hair crowns hanging high above their heads. Looking at the bows and quiver on the backs of the horses, it was not difficult to guess what these people were going to do next … It was likely that the noble sons of Shangjing were taking them to participate in the hunt, taking the opportunity to exchange feelings.
With the assessment around the corner, this kind of activity was always particularly frequent.
"They seem to be going on an outing to participate in some kind of gathering. Should Wen Fu go and say hello?"
Cheng Cheng thought for a moment, then shook his head. "There's no hurry. Let's go into the city first."
Considering the situation in Shangjing, Liu She asked the motorcade to move to the side to avoid colliding with people and causing unnecessary trouble.
However, just because they didn't take the initiative to look for trouble didn't mean that trouble wouldn't come looking for them.
Jiang Pengji started her livestream early that day. The audience in the livestream room received the news early in the morning and rushed over quickly. The room was full in an instant.
Shangjing was a real ancient capital city. The degree of prosperity and extravagance wasn't something that a small rural place like Hejian County could compare with.
Jiang Pengji rode on White leisurely. It looked like she was looking at the scenery, but in fact, she was chatting with the audience.
Bingtang Lemeng: "# propping chin. As soon as I saw the road paved with bricks, I knew that the streamer was about to reach Shangjing."
Ancient roads were mostly dirt roads or gravel roads. The former was wet when it rained, and the latter was bumpy.
It was a huge project to pave a road with bricks of the same size, and it cost a lot of money.
It was impossible to find such a good road if it wasn't a capital city like Shangjing or a big city with a developed economy.
Toujiao Chifan: "I just want to get into the city as soon as possible. I want to see Shangyang Palace, which the streamer said was" Lingxiao Palace in heaven, Shangyang Palace on earth. "I wonder how prosperous it is. I don't know if its scale is comparable to the Forbidden City … This is an authentic ancient palace building."
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Come on, Shangyang Palace is a royal palace. Ordinary people can't even get close to the palace walls, right?
At most, they can see the prosperity of Shangjing. It's not possible to see the whole of Shangyang Palace. "
Host V: "When the world is in my hands, you can see wherever you want."
As soon as the words came out, the whole streaming room exploded.
Streamer Zhengshangwo: "666, do you feel the happiness of being spoiled by the domineering streamer?"
Yin Yuejia Zhuge Qinmo: "Yes!
Chun Lie: "I'm so happy that I'm going to faint, okay?"
Ju Ge Chesti: "I've already fainted. I'm so happy that I don't want to get up. I need the streamer to kiss me to get up."
Da Wang Sends Wo Lai Paunshan: "That's really exciting. Streamer, do you still need fangirls to warm your bed?"
Nide De Yida: "Go away, you little demons. The streamer is obviously talking to me. Unruly people!"
With the audience in the streaming room joking around, the journey wasn't boring. It was even a little interesting.
Jiang Pengji didn't have a good impression of streaming, but she liked some cute little angels in the streaming room.
Just as the corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile, the feeling of being spied on suddenly entered her brain, which made her smile disappear.
Without thinking, Jiang Pengji quickly pulled out the longbow that was placed on the back of the horse. She quickly put an arrow on the bowstring and drew the bow to a full moon.
Pa —
The noise made Liu She, who was in front of her, come to his senses. He turned his head and saw an arrow explode in the air. The remains fell to the ground. His daughter had not finished drawing the bow. Her expression was cold, and her dark eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Liu She was about to speak. "Lan …"
He saw his daughter draw the bow even faster. Before he finished speaking, an arrow had left the bowstring at the speed of lightning.
"Trash!"
Jiang Pengji looked coldly at the guy who was still smiling. His hair was blown away by the arrow. He looked panicked and lost.
Although the other party didn't have murderous intent, it was full of malice to embarrass her.
Since that was the case, she would give him a taste of his own medicine. Who asked that trash to have such a cheap hand?
With a "duang" sound, the arrow steadily shot into the horizontal bar of the shaft of the carriage.
The move alarmed the armored guards, and they all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Liu She was surprised at first, but when he saw the arrow explode in the air after being shot by his daughter, he felt a lingering fear in his heart. He was furious.
Cheng Cheng was a beat slower to react. His face suddenly turned pale.
They didn't know the target of the arrow. They only knew that it was aimed at Jiang Pengji, so they subconsciously thought that the arrow was meant to kill her.
