Chapter 1 Chang'an Flying Cat

2days ago Historical fiction 3
In 141 BC, Chang'an City was the first year of Jianyuan in the Han Dynasty.

Inn Ah Band...Ah Band... I just opened the wooden door of the inn room and covered my mouth and sneeze twice.

As I sneeze continuously, the tip of my nose turned red, and two tears came out of the corners of my eyes.

Zuo...my eldest lady...please stop thinking about me today... I reached out to wipe away the tears that were overflowing from the corners of my eyes because of continuous sneezing, and cried in my heart.

My name is Huang Qian. I am twenty years old this year. I am from Dongye, a native of Minyue Kingdom under the Han Dynasty.Currently, he is a member of the mission of the Han Dynasty to pay tribute to the Minyue Kingdom.This is also the first time I came to the north with the Minyue Mission.

The ancestors of the Huang family actually came from the north, because the ancestors of the Huang family were not Yue people at all, but the Chu people who were serious.

In the late Warring States Period, after the Chu State conquered Yue State and annexed Wu and Yue State, the ancestors of the Huang family followed a Chu army to the south from the Jianghuai area of ​​the Central Plains to pursue the nobles and remnants of Yue State fleeing south.

Unexpectedly, the land of Minyue was covered with swamps, rainforests and miasma, and the environment was very difficult and dangerous.

Under the harsh natural environment, the Chu army was forced to support each other with the Vietnamese soldiers and civilians who fled south, and together with the attacks of ubiquitous beasts and the uncivilized local southern barbarian tribes.

Over time, mutual integration is inevitable.

This mixed Chu-Yue Trail Blazers who were heading south finally arrived at a small basin at the mouth of the Minjiang River and found that the land here was fertile and flat, and the climate was warm. So they settled here and gradually developed the Min-Yue Kingdom.

This small basin by the sea naturally became the capital of the Minyue Kingdom, which is today's Dongye City.

Before I made my mission to the north, I had a lover in Dongye City.Her name is Zuo, she is the princess of Minyue Kingdom and the half-sister of the current King of Minyue.

Zuo has been in the royal family of Yue since the Spring and Autumn Period, and has also produced outstanding figures such as King Goujian of Yue, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Chu-Han and Han dynasties fought each other, and the Minyue Kingdom, located in Fujian, also sent the Minyue army, which had been operating for many years and had become a certain climate, to assist Liu Bang in the fight against Xiang Yu.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, as a reward, the leader of the Zuo family was officially conferred the title of King of Minyue by the Han emperor in Chang'an.

To this day, this throne has lasted for almost a hundred years.

Although Zuo was a princess of Minyue Kingdom, she was born in a villain and had a sense of existence in the Zuo royal family.

Otherwise, with her appearance and princess status, an ordinary Minyue official like me would not have the chance to have a love affair.

When Zuo was very young, her father, the previous King of Minyue, passed away.

As the old concubine of Minyue, her mother moved out of the Minyue Palace with her young Zuo and lived in an empty house next to my house.

The mother and daughter are so familiar with my family.

Because I live close to you, Zuo and I have been playing together since we were young, and we can barely be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

I have been confused over the years and have not realized her identity very much.

Until early morning when I was an adult, I took up the position of the tribute office. As soon as I went out, I found Zuo standing in front of my house waiting for me.

The dew in the morning dripped from time to time from the big banyan tree at the door, wetting her long black hair.It seems that the beauty has been waiting for me for a while.

That day, Zuo looked at me without saying anything, but blushed and stuffed me a beautiful silk purse, and then shyly turned around and ran back to her house.

I picked up the purse and looked at it carefully.

I saw a few Yue Kingdom seal characters embroidered on it. When I opened the purse, there was a gift that the female family members of the Yue Kingdom and lovers would give to each other when they confessed their love. A serpentine jade pendant that only members of the Yue Kingdom royal family could wear.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that the official identity of this girl next door who I have been with for many years is still a princess, and she had already secretly agreed to me.

Zuo is not the kind of beauty that surprises you at first sight.

On the contrary, she is the kind of woman who can make you feel very comfortable when you get along.

After years of training and training by her mother as a concubine, Zuo Hao has fair skin, delicate facial features and elegant temperament.

She has a slim figure, but she has a delicate curve and a pleasant body. She can be regarded as a typical representative of the beauty of Yue Guo.

After I was with her and I were together in private, I often teased her and called her Zuo Xishi.

Every time, she made her gentle and gentle face snuggle into my arms with a blushing face.

One summer night shortly after I became in love with Zuo, she and I went to the beach in Dongye with her.

That night, the moon was like water, and she and I walked to a deserted beach and sat down behind a large reef.

That night, Zuo was wearing a thin yellow shirt that Yuedi women often wore, and two delicate bulges were slightly raised under the front of the clothes.

The hem is a little tightened, gently outlining the slender waist of the beautiful girl.

Looking further down, under the blue ridge skirt and thin lantern trousers, the curves of her buttocks and beautiful legs are smooth and graceful, and the curve ratio between her waist and hips is excellent.

Zuo's butt is much more tilted than in the past two years... it has become bigger and rounder... It's pretty...

I admired the figure of Zuo around me, and suddenly I found that this playmate who I had been playing with since childhood had become a graceful girl before I knew it.

Looking at the charming charm of a woman that was inadvertently revealed between her eyebrows and eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

I hate... A Qian... Why are you staring at someone like this...

In the dark environment, Zuo seemed to blush. Her beautiful eyes looked at me brightly, but her eyes clearly had the girlish shyness.

I couldn't help but stroked her smooth face with my hands, and my face was close to Zuo's fragrant cherry lips.

She subconsciously hid for a moment, then she looked at my lips with her head.

This is how the two young men and women who were in love kissed each other for the first time.

On the day when I left from Dongye this time, Zuo took me all the way to the dock by the river.Then he threw himself into my arms regardless of the surprise gaze of others, and murmured in my ear with a soft cry:

Huang Qian... You come back early, I will miss you very much in Dongye.

Little fool... I can't afford to take on the miss of Your Highness, and I'm so far away, I can't see you even if you miss me... Otherwise... you go and ask your brother Wang Yue to have a love affair and ask him to arrange for me a free job like the chief clerk of Dongye Port or a guerrilla general in the East China Sea?In this way, I don’t have to go far and I can always be with you in Dongye.

I also pretended to be relaxed and laughed in a low voice, joking with her who was almost crying. On the one hand, it was to soothe the sad atmosphere of separation at the moment, and on the other hand, it was to hide the full sorrow of parting in my heart.

I hate it, you are talking about this again... I know... You have always wanted to go to the northern Central Plains to see the outside world... Otherwise, I would have been begging my brother to transfer you to another yamen, so how could you beg you to sleep in the open like this...

Zuo gently hit my chest with his pink fist, slapped her cherry mouth and continued:

I have heard a saying that every time a person sneezes, his lover is thinking of him.This time you are in the north, every time you sneeze, you must think that I am thinking of you, and then you must think of me as well, okay?

Ah thou... Ah thou...

I came to my senses from my memories, and suddenly two big sneezes came to the corridor outside the door, which was already embarrassed by Miss Zuo's longing.

ah!Why don’t you cover your mouth and squirt someone’s face...

I heard a crisp and pleasant whisper. When I stood up and wiped away the tears that were overflowing with the sneezing in my eyes, I saw clearly a man and a woman dressed in Han Dynasty standing in front of me.

The two of them stood together, both of whom were of outstanding temperament, and they were a pair of romantic figures from the Han Dynasty in the Northern Kingdom.The girl among them was facing me at this time, and her eyes were so angry that she opened her eyes wide.

The two of them in front of me are similar to me, and the man among them is tall, strong and very strong.

I am already tall among the men in Minyue Kingdom, but I am still half a shorter than him.

He was wearing a dark straight-hem single dress, with bright eyes under his sword eyebrows, and a sword around his waist. He looked like an officer from the Han Dynasty.

But he didn't look at me at this moment, but just looked at the woman beside him who was complaining at me repeatedly, smiling without saying a word.

The Han Dynasty woman with her eyebrows facing me was about eighteen years old.

Like the man around her, she also has a tall figure, and her size is probably between my eyebrows and eyes.

She wore a green curly hem, and the fabric of the clothes was smooth, gently applied to her graceful body.

The whole person was as clear and tall as the willow trees I saw by the Wei River on Chang'an Road.

The black hair that looked like clouds was black and soft, and was scattered behind her head, making her jade neck look slender and white.

At this moment, her fair and beautiful goose face was blushing, and her beautiful phoenix eyes, as deep as a pool, were staring at me with anger and coquettishness. There were a few drops of saliva that I had just sneezed on her pink cheeks.

The beauty's delicate and towering nose, a pair of bright red cherry lips panted from time to time because of her anger, and occasionally exposed the white teeth between her red lips as jade as they were between her opening and closing.

Although she was shocked and tried her best to show a look of seeking guilt, she was outstanding in appearance and youthfulness. Her slightly frown eyebrows and plump breasts that were undulating because of her anger were filled with the charming charm of the northern beauties.

Sorry...Madam...I just came from another place yesterday.Somehow... I have been sneezing since I arrived in Chang'an.I just opened the door and was about to go outside to find a clinic, but I didn't see you walking by. It was so offensive, and I was guilty of death...Ah...Ah...

Before I finished speaking, I sneezed a few more times, but fortunately I covered it with my hands in time this time.

Who is your wife? If you don’t speak Chinese well, just say less...

The woman heard my words and felt a little shame and anger in her complaint. Her red lips were about to break out, and the man beside her interrupted with a smile:

Jing'er, it didn't mean it.Everyone is away from home and should be considerate of each other.

After he finished speaking, he turned to me again and bowed apologetically:

Ting brother, who has a person from Wu and Yue in the south?Recently, it is the season for flying willows in the northern country. Poplar and willow trees are planted everywhere inside and outside Chang'an City. In this season, it is inevitable that the sky will float. My brother must be unable to adapt to it, so he sneezes.

Seeing that he was very polite in his words, and that he was handsome and had a good temperament, he wanted to get to know him, so he bowed politely and bowed back and said:

Thank you for reminding me that this is my first time here in the north.This time, I received the order of the King of Minyue and followed the Mission of the Minyue Kingdom to the north to transport tributes and purchase goods from the northern region.The land of Minyue is humid and stuffy. I have never seen so many willows and poplars, so I didn’t expect that there would be so many flying catkins.By the way... I am surnamed Huang and Qian. After talking for a long time, I still don’t know what the eldest brother and this...girl... are called?

After listening to my self-introduction, he had an interesting expression on his face and replied with a hearty smile:

Below is a person from Bohai County. His surname is Han, with a single name and a character named Cheng. Now he has something to do and lives in Chang'an.

He paused after saying that, reached out and pulled the pretty beauties beside him with a grumpy face, and introduced enthusiastically:

This is the younger sister, called Han Jing.Jing'er is rude at a young age and has offended her words just now. Please forgive me, Brother Huang, and don't be surprised.

Brother... why did you apologize to him...

Ah…Ah…

The girl next to Han Cheng patted her brother's arm angrily, and was about to complain that Han Cheng's words were too modest, but they were interrupted by my series of violent sneezes.

Seeing my face full of redness, Han Cheng patted Han Jing's jade hand on his arm to comfort him, and smiled sincerely at me:

If Brother Huang is not in a hurry, he might as well sit in my room now.To be honest, Han has a local herb. After using it, let alone flying catkins, he can also ensure that his breathing is usually refreshing.

After a day and night of continuous sneezing, I was already in a mess. When I heard his words, I felt as if I had found a life-saving straw and nodded repeatedly to agree.

Seeing this, Han Cheng led me into the room of their brother and sister not far away.

I have a lot of flying catkins in my hometown this season, so I have always had the problem of constant sneezing during this season.Fortunately, my family passed down a prescription, which is very effective. Brother Huang can also try it today.

Han Cheng entered the room and let me sit on his couch.

Then he turned around and searched in his luggage and took out a small pottery bottle.

The bottle is small, only half a palm-sized, sealed with a wooden plug, and looks quite delicate.

Han Cheng handed the bottle to Han Jing, who was reluctant to follow him into the house at the end, and laughed loudly:

Jing'er, just try it as you usually apply medicine to Huang Qian.

This... why do you still have to serve him? I hate it... Han Jing muttered, but he still approached me who was sitting on the couch and opened the medicine bottle.

It can be seen that she listened to her brother Han Cheng very much.

Ah... I subconsciously opened my mouth and waited for Han Jing, thinking that this medicine for sneezing must be taken orally.

Unexpectedly, when Han Jing saw me, he smiled and his tone became gentle:

Close your mouth quickly, don’t take it internally, just drop this medicine into your eyes.

This was the first time she smiled in front of me. The coldness and rudeness on that smiling face had completely faded away, as if a flower was in full bloom, and as if the ice and snow melted in early spring. In an instant, it was extremely beautiful, and I was actually a little confused about it.

Realizing my instant loss of composure, I secretly called myself rude.

Han Jing in front of me also seemed to have captured the stunning flash of my eyes, and two red clouds flew faintly onto her white cheeks.

Come, open your eyes wide... She leaned down close to me, stretched out a plain hand and gently stretched out the upper and lower eyelids of my right eye with two slender fingers, and carefully poured a drop of the potion in the medicine bottle.

The two of them were so close that a girlish body fragrance spread into my breath.

My left eye, which was still open, inevitably stared at her focused pretty face in front of me, and carefully looked at her smooth and tender, white and red skin.

The moment the medicine in the bottle flowed into my eyes, I felt as cool as the quiet spring in summer.The hard work accumulated around the body suddenly disappeared in an instant after a long journey.

Thank you Miss Han... It feels so comfortable... I closed my eyes and shook my head up and down. I felt the potion gently covering my eyes, so comfortable that I felt uncomfortable in all my limbs.

When I opened my eyes again, I never thought I would face Han Jing's moving eyes.

She seemed to be observing my face secretly when I closed my eyes. At this moment, she suddenly looked at me and a panicked and shy expression quickly passed through her pretty face.

Is it OK? Now I open my left eye wide... She stuttered, trying to hide the panic on her pretty face by speaking, but it didn't work because her temples were already red.

Seeing me nodding in agreement, she tried to calmly repeat the way she had just looked gentle and poured some potion into my left eye.

I closed my eyes again, feeling the strange and wonderful coolness on my eyes slowly overflowing my whole body. The sour and itchy feeling in my nose that caused me to sneeze disappeared without realizing it.

That night, in order to express my gratitude, I specially ordered the chefs of the inn to prepare a sumptuous dish and invite Han Cheng and his sister to have dinner together.

The brother and sister disappeared and readily agreed to my invitation.

At the dinner table, the three of us chatted happily.

I introduced a lot of customs and customs of the Minyue Kingdom to them, and Han Cheng told me about the many attractions of Chang'an amusement and the recent situation of the Han-Hungarian War on the northern border.

Of course, what the three of us young people talked about the most was their own experiences and family situations.

Han Cheng is the same age as me this year and is the descendant of the old king Han Guang.Han Jing was three years younger than me, only seventeen years old.

Han Cheng has been familiar with military books and practices riding and shooting since he was a child, and has a lot of martial arts skills.

This time I came to Chang'an to join the army and find a future.

A few days before he met me, he had just signed a document at the General's Mansion of former General Li Guang and officially became an aide under General Li.

Han Jing came to Chang'an this time because he heard that the new emperor ascended the throne and was about to elect a beautiful girl from the people to the palace.

She thought of her outstanding and beautiful appearance, and also wanted to come to Chang'an to try her luck to see if she could also go to the palace to be a concubine or something.

Miss Han has a beautiful country and can definitely choose it.After three rounds of wine, I raised my glass toast Han Jing with a glass of wine, and sincerely wished me.

I didn't want to enter the palace anymore... That day at the gate of Changle Palace, I saw a group of palace maids walking out, each with a melancholy and depressed expression on their faces. It seems...even if the palace is home to the rich and elegant clothes, it is probably full of rules and regulations. My passionate personality will definitely not be able to adapt.

After Han Jing finished speaking, he drank the rice wine in the glass as generously as her brother, but accidentally choked on the wine and coughed violently.

Her delicate face looked particularly red after drinking wine. Her towering breasts raised two beautiful arcs high under the front of the thin curvy skirt, and shaking gently with the cough twice.

Seeing her drunken and sexy face, sitting opposite me, I couldn't help but feel dry and quickly picked up the wine glass to drink to cover up my love.

After that night, the Han brothers and sisters became familiar with each other.The three of them often play together.

Not long after, Han Cheng's daily military affairs in General Li's mansion gradually became busy and often stopped in the inn.

Han Jing was still waiting for the announcement of the selection of the beautiful girls in the palace, and he spent a lot of free time on his daily life.

There was not much work to do when I was rushing to the tour, so Han Jing and I were bored, just wandering around Chang'an City every day to have fun.

From the tall city tower in Chang'an City, to the snack bars in the city, to the weeping willows by the Wei River, Han Jing and I were laughing and playing everywhere.

During this period, Chang'an City was still flying all over the sky.Every morning, as soon as I get up and go out, I go to Han Jing’s house first.

She often gets up earlier than me, and has finished washing up and is waiting for me with a medicine bottle.

Before going out, Han Jing would approach me and gently drop two drops of medicine into my eyes as if he had applied medicine for the first time to prevent me from sneezing from happening again.

As time goes by, the fragrance on her body becomes stronger every time she approaches me, making it more and more difficult for me to suppress my distraction.

Soon, a notice of the selection of beautiful girls in the palace was posted.

On the day he entered the palace, Han Jing went out in the morning with a gorgeous look.

I was alone in the inn, and suddenly I felt extremely lonely and depressed for no reason.

But what I didn't expect was that Han Jing came back before lunch time, and the makeup on his face had been washed away with water and a smile on his face.

Pay tribute to the future Empress... Seeing your happy look, did you choose?

My heart was beating fast for some reason and asked jokingly at her.

Hi... Don't mention... What Changle Palace is in a dilapidated place... When I saw that the emperor's family was so shabby, it was not as rich as the wealthy family in our hometown, I slipped back directly... Han Jing looked at me, put his hands on her slender waist, and his beautiful face was filled with a proud look of stopping losses in time and jumping out of the fire pit in advance.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and the mission of the delegation in Chang'an ended, and the personnel began to leave Chang'an in batches.

I am young and playful, and it is my first time to come to the north. In addition, I have Han Jing as my companion these days and have fun playing around every day. I seem to hope to continue to stay in the north for a few more days.

So he took the initiative to take on the mission after staying in Chang'an.

During this period, Han Jing seemed to know that my return date was approaching, and he had obviously less laughter when he went out for a trip with me.

One day on the Ba Bridge in Chang'an, she and I leaned side by side with the railings on the bridge and watched the row of smoke willows on the shore in a daze.

Thinking of myself about to leave Chang'an, a hint of melancholy appeared in my heart.

Han Jing seemed to be full of thoughts and said nothing for a long time.

I see you haven't sneezed lately. You have been out for so long... The princess in her hometown of Minyue Kingdom guess she doesn't miss you anymore.

She suddenly looked at me and asked with a smile for no reason, her moving eyes flowing, revealing a complicated look.

After hearing this, I remained silent and suddenly realized that I hadn't remembered Zuo for a while.Even her expression seemed to have become a little blurred in my mind.

How is it possible... My Princess is wholeheartedly devoted to me!I replied subconsciously, just to hide the uneasiness in my heart.

Humph, I don’t believe it!

Han Jingjiao smiled and ignored the panic on my face.She stretched out her jade hand to pick up the willow catkins in the air, and raised her tall breasts and continued to smile and asked with some confidence:

Then tell me, I have given you so many times. When you meet this flying willow catkins and want to sneeze, what you think of is your princess... or me?

I was speechless for a moment, just staring at the willow catkins in the sky under the noon sunshine in Chang'an were stunning.

Before I could figure out how to answer her, I suddenly realized that Han Jing beside me had not waited for my answer and had turned around and walked away.

A gentle breeze blew by.I stood behind her and stared at her.Her back, wearing a light red curly skirt, was particularly bright and charming in the rising willow catkins.

On the way back to the inn that day, Han Jing and I seemed to realize something and didn't say much along the way.

It was also that night that news that the Huns moved south in large numbers reached Chang'an City.
