It was getting late, and Brother Xiao Ling in the carriage quietly opened a crack in the car window, then opened his eyes wide and looked out.

There is a county town outside. Although it is getting late, the streets are still crowded. They will also rest in the inns of the county town at night. Behind their team, there are Dazhou cavalry sent by Gubeikou to escort them.

Brother Xiao Ling is only fourteen years old this year, and her fifteenth birthday will be in a few months. She is also Xiao Fengxian's youngest sister.

As the youngest daughter in the family, Brother Xiao Ling was naturally favored by her parents. Her sister Brother Xiao Gui entered the palace and became Yelu Yanxi's most beloved concubine.

Originally, the Xiao family planned to send Brother Xiao to the palace to be a concubine in another two years, so that the two sisters could take care of each other and further consolidate the family's status.

However, now the Liao Kingdom is undergoing a major change, and Xiao Fengxian and his family have to make plans for the future, so they sent Brother Xiao Ling, who was less than fifteen, to Dazhou to be the concubine of Ning Fu.

Although Brother Xiao Ling is young, he knows her heavy responsibilities, so she is also worried along the way.

Although the eldest brother Xiao Fengxian told her many times that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou was a young and handsome man, and he was very talented, and even won the title in the Shangyuan Poetry Festival in the Song Dynasty.

But even so, Brother Xiao Ling couldn't help but worry secretly. After all, he came to the strange country of Great Zhou alone, and he was a Khitan woman. God knows how the emperor of Great Zhou would treat him?

Thinking of this, Brother Xiao Ling had no intention of enjoying the scenery outside anymore. He closed the window in a depressed mood, then sighed and continued to be stunned.

For some time, the team kept rushing, and the more we walked south, the more prosperous the cities we passed.

Although Brother Xiao Ling was worried about his fate, he was an unemployed child after all.

Especially after passing through the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, they truly stepped into the core area of ​​the Great Zhou Dynasty. What they saw and heard along the way were so novel, which made Brother Xiao Ling feel dizzy.

That morning, Brother Xiao Ling's team finally arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River. This place actually belongs to the boundary of Tokyo. As long as you cross the Yellow River, you will be Tokyo City further ahead.

Thinking that he was about to meet the legendary Emperor of Great Zhou, Brother Xiao Ling couldn't help but become nervous again.

Along the way, Brother Xiao Ling also collected more stories about the Emperor of Great Zhou, but the more she knew the other party, the more worried she felt.

After all, a descendant of a former royal family, who had been lying on firewood and tasting gall for many years, overthrowing the Song Dynasty and successfully restoring the country in one fell swoop. Such a person is definitely a hero of his generation, and it is definitely not an easy task to be his woman.

Now the only thing Brother Xiao Ling can count on is his elder brother Xiao Fengxian and his relationship with him.

However, Brother Xiao Ling did not have any confidence in Xiao Fengxian, because in her impression, his elder brother always liked to brag, and he could make three-pointers a tenth.

So even though Xiao Fengxian repeatedly promised that he was Ning Fu's close friend, even if the other party was just for his sake, he would never treat Brother Xiao Ling badly, but Brother Xiao Ling was still full of suspicion.

In the afternoon of that day, Brother Xiao and his team finally passed through the floating bridge on the Yellow River.

When the carriage walked onto the shaking floating bridge, Brother Xiao Ling in the carriage was also frightened and his face turned pale. Especially when she saw the turbid Yellow River water on both sides through the car window, she was even more worried that the carriage would fall.

You should know that although the Liao Kingdom also has a big river, no river is as wide and fierce as the Yellow River.

After finally waiting for the carriage to pass the pontoon bridge, Brother Xiao Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then she was attracted by the scenery on both sides of the road.

The Yellow River Ferry is very prosperous. After all, this is a major transportation route connecting the two sides of the Yellow River. Over time, a prosperous town has been formed at the Ferry, with business vendors everywhere.

After leaving the ferry, the convoy walked forward for several miles and finally arrived at the city of Tokyo.

When they saw the tall and majestic Tokyo walls, Xiao Lingge and his group also showed shocked expressions. They had only heard of the prosperity of Bianliang City before, but in their hearts, they thought Bianliang City was just similar to Zhongjing in the Great Liao Dynasty.

But now just seeing the city walls of Bianliang City that are nearly half higher than Zhongjing, they know that the Bianliang City in front of them is definitely not comparable to Zhongjing.

When the team arrived in front of the city gate, they further confirmed their speculation, because the wide gate of Bianliang City could accommodate several carriages in parallel, but because there were too many people entering and leaving the city gate, there were a long queue.

Brother Xiao Ling and his team waited for a long time before finally entering the city.

Brother Xiao Ling's curiosity about Tokyo City also reached its peak, so he looked out through the gaps in the window.

I saw traffic on the streets, pedestrians were everywhere, shops were everywhere, and various goods were sold.

Even some very rare products in the Liao Kingdom can be found everywhere in the city of Bianliang, such as soaps, perfumes, etc. There are special stores here that can be bought with just money, rather than booking like in the Liao Kingdom.

"No wonder my brother said that after coming to Bianliang City, he knew what the largest and most prosperous city in the world looked like."

Brother Xiao Ling looked at the scenery on the street and couldn't help but whisper to himself.

The team continued to move forward, and the scenic figures she saw along the way opened her eyes. She even saw the legendary wazi and heard the sound of "Ya Yiya" singing inside.

Finally, the carriage arrived at the inn in the capital, and Tong Guan had already welcomed him here.

The person who escorted Brother Xiao Ling was her uncle Yelu Gu. He stepped forward and negotiated with Tong Guan. The two sides agreed to pick up Brother Xiao Ling into the palace tomorrow and they would stay in the inn tonight.

When she learned that she didn't have to see the Emperor of the Great Zhou today, Brother Xiao was relieved, but then she became worried again. After all, she came from afar, but the other party didn't even see him. Do you really dislike him as a Khitan woman?

Thinking of this, Brother Xiao Ling's joy disappeared immediately, and he spent the whole night in gains and losses. Finally, he fell asleep in a daze until it was almost dawn.

The next day, Brother Xiao Ling was woken up by his maid, but found that it was already noon outside. Then the maid told her that the boy he had met yesterday was here again and wanted to pick her up into the palace.

This made Brother Xiao Ling jump up quickly and then washed her. What made her very disappointed was that because she didn't sleep well last night and the fatigue of the boating along the way, she looked a little haggard and could not be covered even if she applied it on makeup.

But now there is no time for her to rest, so Brother Xiao Ling had to bite the bullet and get on the carriage, and then enter the palace with Tong Guan.
