Chapter 110 Return
Just play around or something.
Li Lijun feels that the next time she steps into Saga Biye, she will most likely have become the owner of this place. She will observe filial piety for her mother here, and at the same time practice, and strive to be close to or even enter the foundation building period within six years.
.If it is not absolutely necessary, she actually has no leisure time to play around.
When it comes to how to play, what has she not experienced?
The journey back to Chang'an from Mount Saga was much shorter than when they set out. Instead of going through Sanyuan County, they diverted to Yunyang Town, and then from Yunyang Town to Jingyang County.
There had been heavy rain for several days just a few days ago. Although the weather has cleared up now, the water on the ground cannot be drained away in a short time. Li Lijun and his party endured a day of muddy roads after walking for a day, and they carried luggage twice on the way.
The servant woman's carriage got stuck in the mud, and the guards had to work hard to lift it out. However, with Li Lijun's intentional protection, although there were some twists and turns on the road, they arrived at Jingyang County safely before evening.
After resting for a night in an inn in Jingyang County, they set off again the next morning, heading from Jingyang County to Xianyang. On the way, they also needed to cross the Jing River by boat.
Both sides of the Jing River are densely populated, and many people want to cross the Jing River every day, so boats at the ferry are constantly coming and going all day long. Li Lijun and the others easily hired several large boats, and moved people, carriages, horses and luggage aboard.
.As long as they controlled the horses and did not let them move randomly, Li Lijun and the maids did not even need to get off the car 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 did not have time to enter the city before the city gate 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 is densely populated. Therefore, the decoration, accommodation and service level of the inn are no worse than those in Chang'an City. There are even restaurants in the attached wine shop.
Beautiful orchids performed dances, and fine wines were sold.
After several days of hard work on the road, while in Fengxian County and Saga Mountain, and because they had to stay with Li Lijun, the fourth wife of the Sui Dynasty, to protect her safety, they did not dare to leave without permission. All the palace guards were mentally a little nervous.
I was tired, and when I saw the bustle in the export gold den in Xianyang City, I couldn't help but feel a little bit anxious.
However, Ding Wulang, who was in charge of the people, was very clear about it. He warned his men: "You can go back to Chang'an City tomorrow. When you finish your errands, you will be able to get a few days off. Are you afraid that you will have nowhere to have fun? What if?
If you neglect your duties tonight and cause some trouble, the hard work of you and me over the past ten days will be in vain! You may even be held accountable and punished. Are you willing to do so?!"
Of course, I am not willing to do so. I have been away from home for so long, and I am only one day away from receiving awards and vacations, but something goes wrong at this time? Only a fool can do such a thing! The wine shops and Hu Ji in Xianyang are certainly good,
But there are better ones in Chang'an city. I really can't bear to part with it. I'll go back tomorrow to pay my errands, get a holiday, and come back to Xianyang for a few days. Can't I? It's really not bad for these two days!
Therefore, the royal guards stayed in the inn very calmly tonight and had a good rest. When they woke up the next morning, everyone looked in high spirits.
The trip on the third day was relatively simple. Although they had to cross the Wei River, they did not need to take a boat. There have been several bridges built on the Wei River since ancient times to facilitate people's passage. They took the nearest Zhongwei Bridge, which was very fast.
We arrived at the other side of the river.
When Li Lijun was walking on the bridge in a carriage, she saw many Hu people through the curtains. Hu merchants led camels or drove carriages back and forth on the bridge. This is where the Silk Road started from Chang'an and headed west.
The first bridge she passed had special significance. But in the world of the Republic of China, she could no longer find any trace of this bridge.
This was probably the first time in her life that she had walked across the Zhongwei Bridge. During the entire process of crossing the bridge, she kept opening the corner of the curtain and quietly looked at everything outside, as if she wanted to write down something.
Today they chose to take the Zhongwei Bridge. In fact, there are also the East Wei Bridge and the West Wei Bridge. The West Wei Bridge was set on fire by Yang Guozhong during the Anshi Rebellion and was completely abandoned at the end of the Tang Dynasty. This was recorded in Li Lijun's Tang History Notes
. She felt a little itchy in her heart and wanted to take a look at the Xiwei Bridge. But then she thought that it was not just the Xiwei Bridge that was destroyed by the war during the Anshi Rebellion.
She really likes the city of Chang'an where she lives, and thinks that the Tang Dynasty where she was born is quite good. In order to save the Tang Dynasty from the suffering of war, she should work harder.
When Li Lijun and his party arrived at Chang'an City, the sun had already set to the west. They entered the city from the Jinguang Gate in the west of the city, walked straight along the street to the east, and crossed the entire Chang'an City before arriving at Chunming Gate in the east, which is where they left the city that day.
That city gate. Daozhengfang, where the Sui Prince's Palace is located, is right next to Chunming Gate.
However, Chang'an City is more than 9,000 meters long from east to west, and it takes a long time to ride a carriage. The sun is now in the west. Once the sun sets and the gates are closed, their group may be blocked on the street.
There was no way to return home. When thinking of that embarrassing situation, without Li Lijun's orders, Ding Wulang and other guards and the several coachmen responsible for driving had already cheered up and moved forward faster. In any case, they must
We must return to Daozhengfang before sunset!
There were not many pedestrians on the street today, but the street was very spacious, more than a hundred meters long. Even if there was an endless stream of pedestrians and carriages, it would not hinder the progress of Li Lijun and his party. They walked quite smoothly. When they heard
When the street drums sounded before sunset, they had already arrived on the street north of Wubenfang. They only had to walk through Pingkangfang and Dongshi to reach Daozhengfang.
When pedestrians on the street heard the beating of street drums, they involuntarily quickened their pace and quickly returned to their homes or residences. Dingwulang hurriedly ordered his men to pay attention to avoid pedestrians and avoid any accidents.
affected their itinerary.
In fact, he was overly worried. It was true that the pedestrians were in a hurry, but whether it was the color of the escorts accompanying them or the regulations of the carriage, it was obvious that they were traveling with nobles from the clan. How could ordinary people dare to collide? Even if they were a headstrong person.
Sons of powerful and powerful families with no grudges, there is no need to stir up trouble when the street drums are beating and the square gate is about to close, which will harm others as well as themselves. Therefore, when passers-by saw them, a group of carriages and horses headed east, leaving
They all got out of the way and wouldn't 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 closed. Unexpectedly, things were unpredictable, and they passed Pingkangfang smoothly, but they were caught at the intersection north of Dongshi.
Stopped.
At this time, pedestrians, carriages and horses should have been rushing back to their respective streets, but they were blocked at the intersection northwest of Dongshi. The street, which is more than 100 meters wide, could not find a slightly wider passage.
, many carriages and horses were crowded together, pedestrians could barely pass through, but it was difficult for the convoy to move forward.
Ding Wulang never expected that such an incident would happen, so he hurriedly rode to Li Lijun's car to report it. Before Li Lijun said anything, Aunt Cui became anxious: "Quickly go ahead and ask what is going on?! The street drums are already beating.
We’ve hit it nearly a hundred times, and if we don’t leave, we won’t be able to get in before the gate closes!”
Ding Wulang also knew the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go to the front to investigate. After a while, his subordinates came back with a strange expression. After listening to his report, Ding Wulang's expression also became strange.
Chapter completed!
