King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 424: festival, start

  Chapter 424 God Festival, start

  Facing the discussions around, Feng Zhao sitting in the float seemed to have never heard of it, and stared at the front lightly, with a little emptiness and coldness.

   Immediately after was the third float, and sitting inside was a man in a smoky blue dress. The man had delicate features and a smile on his lips, which gave people a sense of affinity. Naturally, it was Ling Jin who was talking non-stop below.

  The fourth float came slowly, and a man in taupe-colored clothes sat in the middle. The man's exquisite eyebrows and eyes contained endless coldness, giving people a feeling of condescension and contempt for all living beings.

   Listening to the voice below, the person in this float is naturally Zhao Fenghe, son of the Zhao family.

  The fourth float passed by, and the fifth float arrived.

  Following the light gauze dancing around the float, the surrounding lights illuminated, revealing the gentle man in silver clothes inside the float.

  The man's appearance is not so beautiful. It can only be called handsome. It's just that the body is as warm as jade, like the breath of gurgling water, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze, and their eyes stay on him unconsciously.

  If it is said that the first four people are all outstanding in appearance, then this Mr. Ning Xi has the temperament that surpasses the first four people.

   Seeing the crowd surging around, Mr. Ning Xi smiled, looked around, and bent his lips into a smile.

  That smile, like a tree full of pear blossoms in full bloom, and like summer flowers, is fleeting.

  Everyone on the street stared straight at him, and Jun Li also had a flash of surprise in his eyes, then he looked down at the expression on the lips of the man beside him, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

   "Are you jealous?" The low voice echoed in his ears, making Su Yunqing blush instantly.

   "No, no..." The voice was very small, without the slightest persuasiveness.

  Jun Li chuckled, stretched out his fingers, gently lifted the veil on his face, stroked his smooth and soft face, smiled very gently, "That Ning Xi..."

  Before he finished speaking, he saw him looking at her nervously, his fingers gripping the hem of his clothes uneasily, raising his head, and staring at her with clear eyes.

Seeing this, Junli couldn't help but stretched out his hands to rub his long black and soft hair, hugged him tightly, and said with a smile, "Although that Ning Xi looks good, in my heart, he can't compare to you at all." of."

  Hearing this, Su Yunqing lowered her head slightly, her face was flushed, and she looked very attractive.

  Jun Li embraced him, lowered his head and continued to look at the bustling team below.

   After all five floats passed by, the crowd below also started to move, chasing after the floats in the direction they left.

  Jun Li scanned the area below for a few times, but after not finding the figures of Eunuch Yu and the others, he stopped looking. Instead, they hugged Su Yunqing's waist, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them fell to the ground.

  Yu Chipin on the other roof also jumped down after seeing this.

  Junli took Su Yunqing's hand and walked slowly on the street, in the same direction as the five floats left just now.

  The only difference is that the crowded crowd on the street just now no longer exists. Almost all the people ran towards the direction where the five floats left, only a few people were still wandering on the street.

   The two walked unhurriedly, looking at the small stalls on both sides of the street from time to time, with smiles on their lips.

  Passing by a stall, there are more than a dozen strings of wooden bead bracelets hanging on it, all kinds of exquisite carvings.

  Just one glance, Su Yunqing stopped, picked up a bunch of them, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it gently, and the light pear blossom fragrance came to her nostrils.

   Touching the small round beads, Su Yunqing raised her head and looked at Junli with questioning eyes.

  Jun Li chuckled, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner, then pulled Su Yunqing to continue walking forward.

   Stopping and stopping along the way, when the three of them arrived at the place where the festival was held, it was already surrounded by countless people, and it was impossible to squeeze in.

  Jun Li looked at this scene, slightly startled.

  Even the Lantern Festival in the capital is not as lively as this festival.

  Looking at Su Yunqing standing on tiptoe, looking forward. Junli looked up, and there was still more than 100 meters away from the rooftop where the God Worship Festival was held. However, with a distance of more than 100 meters, I am afraid that it is difficult to move an inch.

  Looking around, there are no trees or houses. Obviously, it is impossible to pass from above.

but…

   Taking out more than a dozen ingots of broken silver from his bosom, Jun Li chuckled, "money can make ghosts turn millstones." Although this method is very commonly used, it has to be said that it is indeed very practical!

  With more than a dozen ingots of broken silver nestled in his hand, he flicked his fingers and shot them forward one by one.

   "Oh, what hit my leg?" A person in front yelled, and the people around all turned their heads to look, but saw a person covering his leg and grinning. And behind that person, there are several ingots of silver...

  At the moment, everyone was stunned for a while, and then quickly rushed forward one by one.

  In addition to here, this kind of situation also appeared more than ten meters ahead. Although the money is scarce, it will be robbed soon, but as long as there is a moment of confusion, Junli can take Su Yunqing there.

   In just a few breaths, Junli has brought Su Yunqing to a distance of more than ten meters. Yu Chipin at the side still followed closely.

  Using this method, the three of them can be said to be unimpeded all the way, and soon came to the forefront.

  When the huge platform for worshiping the gods was exposed in front of his eyes, Junli couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, it was really a huge project.

  Especially when he saw the steps leading straight into the sky in the middle of the god-worshiping platform, Jun Li couldn't help but twitch slightly.

   What a great handwriting. Look at the steps, they are all made of high-quality stones. Look at the rooftop that goes straight into the sky with no end in sight. If it weren't for the fact that this god-worshiping roof had been built hundreds of years ago, Jun Li would probably not be able to help but suspect that Gu Qingqiu was plundering the people's fat and anointing them to make a big deal of construction here.

  Holding Su Yunqing tightly, he backed away to avoid being squeezed up by the crowd behind him and unable to dodge.

   After waiting for a while, an official sedan chair came from a distance, followed by a group of official sedan chairs.

  Where these official sedan chairs pass, all the common people consciously make way for the official sedan chairs to pass by.

  When these official sedan chairs landed under the platform for worshiping the gods, the leading official sedan chair was lifted, and a person walked out slowly from inside. It was Gu Qingqiu, the prefect of Liucheng.

   Behind Gu Qingqiu, a group of officials, big and small, also came out of the official sedan chair, and stood behind Gu Qingqiu one by one.

  Gu Qingqiu glanced around, when he saw Junli who was not far away from him, his pupils shrank slightly, and then nodded to Junli with a smile.

  Jun Li nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on the roof of the worshiping god. There, five floats had appeared at some time, and they were parked in a line under the high steps that went straight into the sky.
