"Hiss—" In a quiet and fresh woods, Zhou Yang struggled to sit up with a moan of pain, but was extremely confused by the unfamiliar scenery in front of him. There was less soil and broken grass leaves, and the birds chirping in his ears from time to time let him know that the situation was abnormal.

"Where am I? Am I not riding a motorcycle to deliver COSPLAY props to the boss's eldest young master 'Xu Shao'?" Silly looking at the loess road with a width of more than ten meters in front of him, as well as the surrounding green grass and In the woods, he couldn't figure out what was happening.

Then, it seemed like there was a car accident in the haze, and I crashed into a thick ink-like fog, but what does it matter now?He looked at the skin on his hands, which was obviously much more "delicate" than his real age, and was a little confused, because he clearly remembered how rough his hands were, regardless of his 12 years of special occupation at the border or the hard work of working as a security guard. , only I feel distressed.

But he didn't care about so much at this time. After checking that there was nothing wrong with him for the first time, he shook his head and walked out of the woods on the side of the road. He saw a convoy of people approaching from a distance. It looked like there were dozens of people. You can even hear the chatter and laughter inside from a distance.

This convoy looks abnormal in any case, because everyone in this large team is wearing ancient costumes, and all the vehicles are two-wheeled carriages, plus there are more than ten strong men on horseback on both sides. The long package on the saddle seems to be a weapon!
In the middle of this team, a rather luxurious-looking carriage quietly opened its curtains. Taking advantage of the bright and pleasant sunshine, a pretty face as bright as the bright moon looked around curiously. However, when he saw the wide-eyed Zhou Yang, he frowned and quickly lowered the curtains.

"Not making a movie?" Zhou Yang muttered to himself, and then shook his head. He had carefully observed his surroundings, and repeatedly compared his few celebrity memories, knowing that it was completely impossible.

Not to mention that I didn’t see any crew members or equipment in the surrounding area. It was the pretty face that looked like a junior high school student just now, but had a ladylike temperament. Once you see it, you will never forget it.

In other words, he traveled through time?
It's already [-], and "time travel" is no longer a rare word, let alone a young man like Zhou Yang who goes to certain places to read novels when he has nothing to do. Anyway, he grew up in an orphanage, except for a few I have very few friends, even college classmates and former comrades in arms, so it would be nice to be able to travel through time.

"What kind of trouble did you encounter, little brother? Do you need my help?" A kind voice rang in his ears, causing Zhou Yang, who had just been distracted, to suddenly look serious. The special environment made him relax his vigilance, so that when outsiders came around, he Not found.

A slightly older middle-aged man stood in front of him with a smile and a horse, but he was standing five or six steps away, and the two strong men on horseback who followed him were obviously coming with precautions.

"Sorry, I just lost my composure!" Zhou Yang looked at the strong man on horseback who was wary of him. When he realized that he might have traveled through time, he immediately decided to ask about the situation and solemnly performed a standard fist-holding salute. "May I ask your Excellency, where is this place?"

"You don't know where you are?" a strong man on horseback yelled dissatisfied, even putting his hand on the long package hanging on the saddle, "Do you still want me to teach you?"

"Go down!" The middle-aged man glared and drove the strong man away, then smiled and saluted, "Don't worry, little brother, Zhang Dehui, the steward of the outer courtyard of the 'Xue Zihao', will follow his employer to Beijing this time. This is the route from Jinmen Port to the capital. The official said, judging from the appearance of the little brother, he seems to have fallen asleep in the woods?"

"Uh - yes!" His mind was spinning rapidly, and Zhou Yang immediately thought of the most common excuse for "returning from overseas." "I originally came back from overseas by boat and followed the brigade. I was not familiar with the place and I didn't know where it was. Where did we get ashore? Who would have thought that when we got here, we were just taking a rest, but unexpectedly fell asleep. The large group of people who came back together also didn't know where they went. I was confused and disturbed you just now. I am really sorry."

"Haha, I can't bear the title of 'Your Excellency' for my little brother. I'm just a slave of the master's family. What's the point of disturbing you?" Zhang Dehui nodded with a smile. He didn't know if he really believed Zhou Yang's words, "I don't know. Where are you going next, little brother?”

"I don't know either." After calming down, Zhou Yang's past experience told him that he must first understand his situation, "To be honest with Zhang Guanshi, my ancestors took refuge in Nanyang due to the war in the last years of the previous dynasty, and did not know the land of the Celestial Empire. How many changes have there been? May I ask what dynasty we are in now and which saint is in charge?"

"So that's how it is." Seeing the team go far away, Zhang Dehui led the horse and turned around to set off. By the way, he waved his hand to signal Zhou Yang to follow, but the answer was a bit unclear, "It is the fifth day of September, the 47th year of Longwu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the country's surname is ' Guo', but there are two saints, in addition to the current emperor, there is also a supreme emperor."

"The Supreme Emperor?" Zhou Yang immediately realized that there was a problem. Let's not talk about what this "Great Zhou Dynasty" that he had never heard of was. Whenever the "Great Emperor" appeared in the history of China, it was basically not very stable. "I wonder why the Supreme Emperor abdicated?"

"You see, little brother, you also want to go to Beijing?" Zhang Dehui had no intention of continuing to explain. Zhou Yang's question just now was obviously too deep. He got on his horse and turned around and said, "It's just that this capital is the capital of the emperor." This is the best place, my little brother has just returned from overseas and knows very little about it, so he should proceed with caution."

"I'm talking too much." Zhou Yang knew that he couldn't get too much information from this "Manager Zhang". Seeing that the other party was impatient, he had no choice but to go here first, "I've just been practicing martial arts since I was a child. , I don’t know much about literature and history, and I don’t know which dynasty the previous dynasty was, and can I get a ride so I can go to Beijing early?”

"Before the Zhou Dynasty, there was the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Dehui frowned, but nodded in agreement, "As for the ride, Liu San'er, take this little brother to find a convenient truck in the convoy behind to arrange it - by the way, remind me Little brother, I see that you are well-dressed but you are carrying a weapon, so you should be careful to cover it up."

"Tomorrow? Thank you, Manager Zhang, for reminding me!" Zhou Yang felt even more confused, but after looking down at the long sword on his waist, he realized the reason why Zhang Dehui greeted him, nodded his thanks, and followed Liu San into a car. There was still room in the truck, so I didn't forget to ask, "Brother, who does this fleet belong to? I received a favor today, and if I have the opportunity in the future,"

"I'm afraid you don't have to think so much." Liu San obviously didn't have the training of Manager Zhang, and said sarcastically, "This is the caravan of the Xue family in Jinling. Our master brought his family to Beijing this time just to visit the capital. Chinese and old friends.

The Xue family, uncle Wang's family, plus the Jia family of Ningrong's second house, and the historians of Shuanghou, have always been called the "Four Families of Jinling", so why do they need to care about your return?It's your luck today. You meet our manager Zhang who is in a good mood. If you want to meet again next time, I'm afraid he may not be free. "

"The four great families of Jinling? The second mansion of Ning Rong?" Zhou Yang was confused by these two familiar names, ignoring Liu San who had already left. Although he still had many questions, he already knew roughly where he was. "The Great Zhou Dynasty has never appeared in history, but it already has the head of the Eight Dukes,"

Also, just now Liu San said that this is the head of the Xue family bringing his family to Beijing. There are only three luxury carriages in the convoy. If there are no surprises, the first one is the head of the family, and the two behind are the women and the young master. , by inferring this way, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the little girl who opened the curtains to look at the scenery.

What he just saw was Xue Baochai?
