Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 50: : Baqiao! Baqiao!

"Cross this beam, and you will be on the edge of the Bahe River. The lifeblood of the imperial capital, Baqiao."

Ming Kang panted and said.

The atmosphere in the team was quite gloomy. After the death of two people, everyone felt suffocated and helpless.

Li Zhen asked in a depressed tone: "Chang'an after crossing Baqiao?"

"Yes, as soon as you cross the Baqiao, drive straight into the Eight Dragons City. The number one scholar, there are flowers in the Eight Dragons City, and the imperial power of the empire is waiting for you. The most glorious thing in the world."

"The most glorious?"

Li Zhen murmured, standing on the top of the mountain with his waist up, overlooking the Taotao Bahe River, and he could see the scenery of the Eight Dragon City in his eyes.

Standing next to Li Chen, Qi Lengzi overlooked Balong City together, and sighed with emotion: "What a prosperous imperial capital. The lifeblood of Kyushu, the center of the king's land."

Mingkang pointed everywhere, proudly introducing Li Zhen.

But Li Zhen didn't care to listen to anything at this time, the sound of his heart beating became stronger and more manic. The flustered feeling seemed like the heart was about to jump out.

Is someone waiting for me?

Looking at this Baqiao, why is my heart so restless?

Like...someone coming home?

"Go."

Li Zhen's eyes were a little straightened, he looked in the direction of Baqiao, and walked there mechanically.

Mingkang shouted: "Be careful, champion, steep."

Li Zhen turned a deaf ear at this time, as if he couldn't hear anything. Only the Taotao Bahe River and the center of Chang'an-Baqiao are in his eyes.

Breathing the hot air, Li Chen seemed to smell a very familiar smell from 10,000 years ago.

His whole body was shaken, and goosebumps came out all over his body. Li Zhen's eyes dimmed from walking, to trotting, to running wildly.

Mingkang was shocked: "What happened to him?"

Qi Lengzi was also shocked: "Why is he crazy? It's the first time I saw the Eight Dragon City, so I won't be so excited?"

Mingkang looked forward again, but saw that the Baqiao was overcrowded, and the people blocked the Baqiao with banners. Black characters on a white background read on the banner: "Fake No. 1 Scholar Get Out of Eight Dragon City."

Seeing this, the faces of all the guards accompanying the team became gloomy.

Zhashui County was driven away, so why not go back to Eight Dragon City?

They followed Li Zhen all the way and knew how amazing Li Zhen's talent was. After Li Zhen risked his life to save the imperial army, they respected Li Zhen even more from the bottom of their hearts. Li Zhen was humiliated, just like they were humiliated.

Seeing the No. 1 Scholar running towards Baqiao, the imperial guards did not dare to be sloppy, and rushed away to protect them. The carriage in the back is faint, originally it was the top scholar's golden carriage, but now it has become a coffin, with two corpses lying inside.

"Quick, what's wrong with him? Follow him."

"There are so many unruly people blocking the road ahead. If the people are in chaos, the champion is in danger. Protect him."

“…”

The imperial army hurriedly drove their horses and chased after Li Zhen.

At this time, Li Zhen fell into his own world. The eyes can't see the overcrowding on the Baqiao in front, and the ears can't hear the horses neighing and hooves behind them.

He seemed to see the blooming flowers ten thousand years ago, as if he heard the busy traffic ten thousand years ago. It seems to smell the fragrance of ordinary people ten thousand years ago. It seems to feel the warmth of a beautiful woman ten thousand years ago.

'Boom, boom, boom'

As he got closer to Baqiao, his heart kept beating fast and frantically.

"Zhang Zhi, is that you? Are you waiting for me Zhang Zhi... I really want to feel your presence."

Li Zhen murmured, and ran to Baqiao madly!

I closed my eyes unknowingly, and the world went dark. But in this darkness, he seemed to see a tear glowing in front of him.

————

Ten thousand years ago.

The girl standing on the Baqiao looking for something suddenly turned her head and looked at the end of the bridge with endless traffic.

At this moment, nothing can be seen or heard in the beautiful eyes.

She seemed to see the vicissitudes and desolation of the vicissitudes of life ten thousand years later, as if she heard the sound of iron hooves ten thousand years later. It seemed to smell the body odor of the familiar man ten thousand years later, as if to feel the thin body bones of the wise man ten thousand years later.

'Boom, boom, boom'

Her heart beat wildly, more violently than ever.

Taking a step forward, he ran towards the bridge head with blank eyes. It seemed that that place was his call to herself, and she seemed to be able to feel the call from ten thousand years later.

"Li Zhen! Are you here? Have you arrived in Balong City, Chang'an County today? Li Zhen, is it you..."

Run wild!

In the wind, the white sun hat was blown away, and her black hair hung down like a waterfall, dancing wildly in the wind again.

Amidst the chaos, there is a face with tears of emotion and generosity looming.

Every time she blinked, at that moment of darkness, she seemed to be able to see a drop of crystal tears ahead in the darkness.

"Li Zhen!"

With a cry, she looked like a lunatic.

Crazy, because she reached the bridge, but she didn't see it...

————

"Stop! Are you the fake champion!"

"Don't even think about entering the Eight Dragon City and defile our thousand-year imperial capital."

"If you want to enter the Eight Dragon City, you can only climb in!"

He scolded, mocked, and scolded loudly.

Let Li Chen stop and opened his eyes.

There are no tears in the dark, no breath of ten thousand years ago. All he saw were ordinary people blocking the road at the head of the Baqiao Bridge, pointing at him and saying something.

Can't hear clearly. He appears to be deaf.

"Give way."

Li Zhen's eyes didn't have any focus. He pushed away the people blocking the bridge and wanted to walk into the Baqiao. He didn't know what was attracting him on this bridge. But there is always a feeling, as if walking on this bridge, you can touch her, and you can get closer to her.

"Get out!"

A man pushed Li Zhen away.

The emaciated Li Zhen immediately took three or five steps back and sat down on the ground.

But still staring blankly at the crowds of people on the Baqiao, looking for something.

"You colluded with the prince of the East Palace, you are a fake champion. It is you who took up a spot, so my grandson didn't pass the exam. You give back my grandson's future!"

An old woman screamed and slammed an egg at Li Zhen's head.

With a 'pop' sound, the egg shattered on Li Zhen's face. Egg whites and yolks keep coming out. Contaminated with Li Zhen's hair, strand by strand, extremely embarrassing.

But Li Zhen seemed to have never heard of it, he couldn't feel those sticky things at all, and he didn't even wipe them off, letting them flow to his neck and chest.

"Get out of the way, please let me out, please let me out. Please."

Li Zhen stood up and continued walking into the crowd.

"Get out, you fake champion, do you really want to enter the Eight Dragon City? You are dreaming!"

A few more people continued to push and shoved, Li Zhen continued to take three or five steps back, and sat down on the ground again.

"Ahhh!"

"Presumptuous! You don't want to hurt my champion!"

"Die to me, don't even think about hurting my champion!"

More than a thousand imperial guards rode on war horses, roaring wildly.

The saber kept coming out of its sheath, the cold light was shining, and it joined together with the sound of iron hooves, golden and iron horses!

When the common people saw the thousand-odd men rushing towards them with a murderous look, they were terrified and backed away screaming. After all, they are the civilians, and they are the army.

"Stop!"

Mingkang roared hysterically, his voice was hoarse because he was too anxious. He came galloping on horseback and said in a crying voice, "Don't do it, don't do it!"

The imperial army hesitated slightly, but listened to Mingkang's instructions. The guards stopped in front of Li Zhen who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and stopped at the head of the Baqiao bridge, not rushing into the crowd for the time being.

Mingkang came anxiously, lowered his voice and hurriedly said: "No, don't do anything. These are the people of Balong City who have listened to the rumors. These are the people. You can't move them, you must not! Civil uprising, everyone can't afford to go around."

The imperial guards were terrified, and only then did they realize the seriousness of the matter, but they were even more helpless. These are ordinary people, you can't even move.

A '咻' came through the air.

"Be careful!"

Someone yelled.

But it was too late, this time flying to Li was really not an egg, but a stone. As big as half a fist.

It hit Li Zhen's head with a bang, and his head was bleeding.

Blood flowed down the face, and the skin on the forehead was bruised. Blood mixed into the egg white and yolk on his face, making him even more embarrassed.

Li Zhen fell on his back, still unconscious, straightened up and sat up again, struggling to get up. But after kicking his legs a few times, he sat down weakly again, and then crawled up again.

"No. 1!"

The heartache of more than a thousand forbidden soldiers was like a knife, they dismounted and formed a human wall to protect Li Zhen.

Many military men looked at Li Zhen's current appearance, at the swollen bump on his forehead, and the blood gushing from the wound on the bump. Their eyes were red. They would rather be stabbed than see someone they respect humiliated in front of them.

Qi Lengzi is crazy.

"Ah!"

roared in a low voice.

Qi Lengzi pulled out the butcher's knife behind his back, stared blankly at the group of people standing on the bridge, and rushed out like a bull.

He has no nonsense, no thoughts. He is now crazy.

He does not allow anyone to hurt Li Zhen!

"Stop him, hurry up, stop him!"

Mingkang's anxious eyes were red with tears.

The imperial army also knew that Lengzi Qi was mentally ill, and was afraid that he would cause big problems if he rushed into the crowd. More than a dozen imperial guards threw down their knives and rushed forward. A few of them hugged their legs, and a few grabbed their knives and clasped their hands, viciously pressing Lengzi Qi to the ground.

"Quick, get the rope, it won't hold you back!"

A guard riding on Qi Lengzi roared.

But I saw that Lengzi Qi stared at those common people, struggling frantically to get up, to rush in and kill people. Unconsciously, the mouth continued to let out a low growl of'hoho', which looked hideous.

I tied him firmly with a rope and dragged him to the back, only then did the scene calm down.

The people retreated for a while, then stood still.

In the crowd, there was a young young man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes suddenly raised his fist and shouted:

"We are ordinary people, they dare not do anything to us. Beat them and drive them out of Eight Dragon City!"

"We are ordinary people, don't worry, they dare not do anything to us. We must clean up this fake number one scholar and this kind of scum out of Eight Dragon City!"

“…”

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Yes, we are ordinary people, we are the people of Eight Dragon City, these lowly imperial guards dare not do anything to us."

"The law does not blame the public, we have so many ordinary people, they dare not do anything when everyone is united!"

"The Forbidden Army are just low-level warriors. We ordinary people who can live in Balong City are all knowledgeable and educated scholars. Do warriors dare to attack us cultural people?"

"Most of us are scholars, and these warriors are nothing more than a group of dogs with military pay to protect us. We masters beat dogs, do dogs dare to bite masters? Don't worry, beat them, they dare not do anything Like!"

"Hit them!"

“…”

Many ordinary people picked up stones, or eggs, and vegetable leaves, and threw them at everyone~IndoMTL.com~to protect the champion! "

The leader of the forbidden army shouted loudly with red eyes.

As soon as he took off his saber, he suddenly turned his back to the bridge and faced Li Zhen. He lowered his head.

More than a thousand forbidden soldiers took off their sabers in unison, turned around, and surrounded Li Zhen.

'咻咻咻' there are stones constantly, and all kinds of things are flying out.

'Ding ding bang bang'

Constantly hitting the backs, armors, and helmets of the imperial army.

More than a thousand forbidden soldiers all bowed their heads. Closing their eyes, many people shed tears.

The armor used to resist foreign enemies and protect the people. At this time, in the wailing of "ding dong", it bears the "anger of the people!"

Standing in the crowd, Mingkang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists loudly, watching more than a thousand imperial guards standing here silently with their heads bowed, tears streaming down like rain.

"How...how can you do this."

“…”

The swelling on Li Zhen's head was getting bigger and bigger, his eyes were a little loose, he still looked towards the direction of Baqiao through the gap between the forbidden army, and murmured: "Zhang Zhi..."

He fell back and lay on the ground, staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds.

A tear fell from the corner of his eye.

That feeling... is gone.

PS: In the past two days, many people complained that they shouldn't write about Gongdou. Well, maybe they are really not good at this aspect. The plot here is just foreshadowing, and there will be few or no political struggles in the future. But it is unrealistic to want to have none at all. The background of this world is like this, and power struggles are inevitable.

I will write as little as possible in the future. The recent plot is to pave the way for future development, Jiang Zi.

Because everyone is right about this point, I will adopt this suggestion. Add one more today. There is another chapter to follow. Thank you all.
