The square gates of the Metropolitan City will generally be closed when the sun goes down, and they will no longer be able to enter or leave. Therefore, under the dim light of the setting sun, everyone who enters the city gate is in a hurry. , He picked up his bags and ran all the way.
Suddenly, outside the south gate of the Metropolitan City, at the end of the Daxia Road not far away, a carriage appeared. At this time, it was racing against the darkness at a very fast speed. If someone watched carefully from the side, they would be horrified to find that they were pulling This horse-drawn carriage was rushing fast and turned out to be an extremely precious horse from the West Xinjiang.
　　 Tall and mighty, the hair all over his body is like silk and satin, glowing like bronze in the setting sun, he is a bronze medalist.
　　 This bronze horse is extremely large, even the same size as the carriage behind it. Between the four-hooves and swiftly rushing, the originally heavy carriage seemed to float upwards, showing the speed.
Sima Annan, with a handsome face, was sitting in front of the carriage, constantly waving the reins, controlling the Tong Juema to speed up, and rushing towards the closing gate in front of him, and in the carriage behind him, there was a blast of a girl's sharp voice. The cry came out, almost piercing people's eardrums.
　　 Sima Annan held the reins with one hand, stretched out one hand, covering his ears, then opened his mouth and shouted out:
　　 "You Ruier, can you be quiet for a while, my son will be deaf by you."
　　 "But I am afraid, ah!"
　　 Inside the carriage, the girl still uttered a screaming response. At this time, the entire carriage just passed a gentle slope. Suddenly, there was a violent bump in the carriage, and the screams inside the carriage were even worse:
　　 "You slow down, slow down!"
After Sima Annan heard the words, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. For the first time, he discovered that the only daughter of the Ministry of Rites who was not afraid of heaven and earth was actually afraid of happiness. This was too unbelievable. Then Sima Annan opened his mouth and his voice continued. Outgoing:
　　 "Once the sun sets, the gates of this metropolitan city will be closed. If you don't want to spend the night with me outside this city, be quiet, it will be dark soon!"
After a hundred breaths, the setting sun above the sky completely sank to the horizon, and then the ancient gates of the Metropolitan City slowly closed. Just before closing, the Tong Jue horse dragged the carriage into the city mysteriously and profoundly. Accompanied by You Ruier's screaming like a pig.
The impact of the carriage was extremely great, so the people still walking inside the city gates evacuated in all directions. Sima Annan pulled the reins back fiercely, and controlled the bronze horse to stop gradually, and then stood up to face the surroundings. The flustered people saluted apologetically.
However, the action was not finished yet, the curtain of the carriage behind him was pulled open, and then the face flushed, and an angry You Ruier threw out from it, raised his fist, and hit Sima Annan with a violent hammer blow. While the hammer was still coughing, even his voice was hoarse:
　　 "Sima Annan, if you don't kill you today, I will write these three words You Ruier upside down!"
After a while, the night fell completely to the Metropolitan City. Today, Sima Annan, who is not wearing white silk clothes, but a crude cloth, is slowly driving a carriage on the streets of Metropolitan City, while Yu Ruier is still full of anger. But he was not in the carriage, but sat beside the former, curiously looking at the city with the longest history in Daxia.
The night in the Metropolitan City was originally lively and extraordinary, but at this time it was quiet and solemn. On both sides of the road, at the door of every house, a red candle was spontaneously placed by the people, exuding a faint light, from far away Looking everywhere, it looks like a sea of ​​dreamlike stars, and like a lighthouse shining brightly, guiding the direction of the return of the dead.
Under such an atmosphere of mourning for the whole city, You Ruier's mood also became sad, and as the carriage passed by, many people who spontaneously burned paper money in front of the door came into view, and then the girl sighed faintly. In a sigh of relief, he said softly:

In previous years, a few days before the New Year’s Day, the White Emperor Palace would hold a private banquet for the officials, and my father would take me with me. At that time, I would see the Queen Mother and her old man. When I was a child, I naively thought that the Queen Mother would never She will never grow old, because she is so dignified and kind at every private banquet, and once she speaks, the money given in the palace will increase."
　　 said here, You Ruier's eyes were already full of tears, and continued to spread with a little choked voice:
　　 "But as my father always said, time does not bypass people. People are destined to end since they are born."
　　 Sima Annan next to You Ruier, looking at the candlelight in the city beside him, his handsome face is also full of solemnity, and then he faintly responded:
　　 "Today is the first seven of the elderly empress dowager, I guess all Daxia has lit candles. This Daxia is her hometown, and we are all his relatives."
　　 With the soft voice of Sima Annan, the carriage gradually drove into a small alley, and at the end of the alley, there was an old house.
Before the carriage approached, several ghost-like figures appeared from the dark shadows. Then Sima Annan lightly patted his waist, a key appeared looming, and the next breath, these figures faded, coming and going without a trace, fast, Even You Ruier didn't even notice.
　　 Then the carriage stopped at the entrance of the house. Sima Annan took out the key from his waist, opened it gently, pushed the door and entered, and followed You Ruier behind the former into the yard. After looking around for a week, he asked:
　　 "Where is this? I didn't expect that you liar still has an old mansion in Metro City. It's incredible. Isn't your family in Jiangling City, Jinzhou?"
　　 "This house is not mine."
　　 Sima Annan walked to the center of the yard, looking at the spotless appearance around him, his voice continued faintly:
　　 "This house belongs to your majesty. I just borrowed it for use. After all, you know that my relationship with your majesty is very good."
　　 The words fell, and You Rui'er curled the corners of her mouth, revealing an unbelieving color. Then she raised her hand and patted Sima Annan on the shoulder, and said again:
"I originally thought that after the New Year's Day, I would directly send it back to Shenjing, but I didn’t expect it to come to this Gwangju Metropolitan City in a carriage. Could it be that you, a liar, found out that he knew that my father would definitely take someone to guard me at Shenjing Station. So ride a carriage all the way north?"
　　 "Then you are completely worried!"
　　 Sima Annan rolled his eyes, turned to face the east, and followed his gaze. In that dark night, there was a shadow straight into the sky, like a sword that almost pierced the sky.
　　 Then Sima Annan's eyes flickered, and he continued to speak quietly:
　　 "This Metropolitan City will be very lively next, and we will stay here for a while."
