Chapter 575 Chang'an City

This is Lu Xiaoxian’s third visit to Chang’an.

For the first time, he was just passing through when going to Taozhou. He entered Chang'an as a tourist and felt quite relaxed.

The second time, in order to rescue Li Chongjun, he secretly sneaked into Chang'an and had no time to savor the city.

This time, he will really settle in Chang'an and become one of the people crowding around on the streets.

Entering Chang'an City, Lu Xiaoxian inexplicably thought of Luoyang. He couldn't help but compare, taste and ponder the two most famous cities in the Tang Dynasty.

Chang'an is simple, while Luoyang is gorgeous; Chang'an is strong, but Luoyang is mysterious; Chang'an is powerful, but Luoyang is bright; Chang'an is enterprising, but Luoyang is tolerant; Chang'an has four solid mountains, and Luoyang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces. The two cities, with their distinct and complementary personalities, constitute the trend of the Tang Dynasty

's context.

Sophora trees are planted on both sides of Zhuque Street. Sophora trees are a native tree species in the Guanzhong area. They are not only easy to plant and grow, but also have dense leaves. They can be lined with green trees to enjoy the coolness and relieve the heat. The sophora trees in Chang'an City generally date from the time when the capital was camped in the early Sui Dynasty.

Planting began in the Tang Dynasty. The locust trees on both sides of Zhuque Street are particularly neatly arranged, so Zhuque Street is also known as "Pagoda Street".

In the morning light, the Mingde Gate slowly opens, and Zhuque Street opens its arms to welcome guests from all directions. The people of Chang'an County and Wannian County on the west side of Jiedong Street live peacefully and happily on this street. Zhuque Street is like a movie.

The book tells the story of the prosperity and grandeur of the Tang Dynasty...

Lu Xiaoxian didn't have too much time to express emotions, nor did he walk along Zhuque Street to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Instead, he asked about the nearby inn and went straight to the inn.

During the whole journey, Lu Xiaoxian was most worried about Lin Yan. Although she barely managed to make it to Chang'an, her health was extremely bad. Lu Xiaoxian must find Hualangzhong as soon as possible. Time is life, and if it is too late, Lin Yan

There is a possibility that life will not be saved.

There were three people who came to fight with Lu Xiaoxian: Cen Shaobai, Lu Xiaoyi and Lu Wuxia.

Someone has to be responsible for the food, drink, litter, and sleep of their group, so Cen Shaobai came with him. Wherever Lu Xiaoxian goes, Lu Xiaoyi will naturally follow him. And Zhang Meng was left behind in Youzhou City by Lu Xiaoxian. After all, Yin

Feng Nongyue and the others couldn't get over it for a while. They had to establish themselves in Chang'an before they could move their family from Youzhou to Chang'an. Although Zhang Meng was deeply unhappy, he couldn't bear it.

After repeated persuasion, I had no choice but to stay.

As for Lu Wuxia, Lu Xiaoxian thought that someone needed to take care of Lin Yan, so he brought him with him.

After settling Lu Wuxia and Lin Yan in the inn, Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Xiaoyi went out.

I thought that finding Hua Yunfeng in Chang'an City would be an easy task, but who knew it was far from being as simple as imagined.

Chang'an City adopts a chessboard symmetrical layout, with fourteen streets from east to west and eleven streets from north to south, dividing the whole city into lanes of different sizes. The whole city is divided into 108 lanes, and lanes are of different sizes.

High and thick walls are built around the square. Some squares have two gates, and some have four gates. There are east-west cross streets or cross streets about 15 meters wide in the square, and the whole square is divided into sixteen plots by cross alleys.

, leading to each household.

The street was full of bustling crowds. It was really like a flowing stream of cars and horses and dragons. Naturally, there were many scholars and other figures walking past with solemn steps and serious faces. There were also the rich and powerful children in bright clothes and angry horses, leading

The large group of servants roared away, attracting passers-by's side glances; among them were Turks wearing light furs, braided hair, and black leather boots; Wu Tianzhu people wearing earrings and shawls; and people wearing small sleeves.

The Zhaowu people wearing robes and fur hats with embroidered patterns and silk nets walked past proudly, but the passers-by showed no signs of surprise.

Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng asked around, but no one knew where Hualangzhong was. Looking at the dotted streets, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but shake his head.

Seeing that it was noon, Lu Xiaoyi said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Brother, this is not an option. Let's fill our stomachs first!"

Lu Xiaoxian also felt hungry, nodded and walked straight to the West Market not far away.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the West Market, I saw a middle-aged man selling porcelain coming up to me with a porcelain vase: "Sir, buy a handful. This is from the palace!"

"A wanderer from the palace?" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said with a smile, "You can keep it for yourself!"

Lu Xiaoxian was about to move forward when he suddenly heard a "pop" and the porcelain bottle fell to the ground and broke.

Lu Xiaoxian was slightly startled, but then he heard the middle-aged man say angrily: "If you don't want to buy it, I won't buy it, and you can't drop the bottle! No, you have to compensate me!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man came up and grabbed Lu Xiaoxian's collar.

Hit the porcelain?

Lu Xiaoxian immediately understood that the other party wanted to blackmail him. It turned out that there were also cheaters in the Tang Dynasty!

How could Lu Xiaoyi let him get close to Lu Xiaoxian? He pushed the middle-aged man away unwillingly. Just as he was about to speak, three or four men with rough faces had gathered around him from nowhere.

Lu Xiaoxian knew that these people were just after money. He didn't want to cause trouble when he first arrived, and he didn't bother to get involved with them. He took out five taels of silver from his arms, threw it to the middle-aged man, pulled Lu Xiaoyi and said, "Let's go!"

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" The middle-aged man smiled coldly, "You just want to send us away with five taels of silver. Do you think we are beggars?"

Lu Xiaoxian is not short of money, but he will not be taken advantage of.

He raised his eyebrows and asked coldly: "Then what do you want?"

"You have to pay at least one hundred taels of silver!" the middle-aged man said arrogantly.

"What if I don't give it?" Lu Xiaoxian looked at the other party with a half-smile.

"Then don't blame me for being rude!" As he said this, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and several men rushed over aggressively.

Lu Xiaoyi had long been unhappy and stared at them like a sword.

"Stop!" came a sudden voice.

The few people stopped when they heard this and turned around to look, only to see a young man in his mid-twenties standing in front of them.

This man wears a green shirt, is tall and slender, has a broad chest, has a dignified appearance, and has thick hair and a thick beard.

Whenever he meets a stranger Lu Xiaoxian, he will always look at him subconsciously. He clearly feels that this person's popularity is extraordinary.

The middle-aged man squinted at the young man in green shirt: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you'd better leave quickly!"

The young man in green shirt said calmly: "How come it has nothing to do with me? I saw it and it has something to do with me?"

The middle-aged man pointed at Lu Xiaoxian and said, "He broke my porcelain in the market!"

"Even if I break something of yours, I'll compensate you. Why bother to take action?" The young man in green shirt said disapprovingly.

"If he was willing to pay, why would we be in such trouble?" the man said with a sinister smile.

The young man in green shirt turned around and looked at Lu Xiaoxian: "You are not from Chang'an, are you?"

"No!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded.

The young man in green shirt sighed and said: "People often say that it is better to do less than to do more when you go out. No matter if you broke their porcelain or not, you will pay the money. Why are you in such a mess? If you don't have any money, I will

I'll do it for you!"

The young man in green shirt was so righteous that Lu Xiaoxian had a good impression of him. He said calmly: "I am willing to compensate, but the problem is that they are not willing to accept it!"

"I only paid five taels of silver, how is that enough?" the man said angrily from the side.

"Fifty taels of silver is not enough? What do you mean, how much compensation is appropriate?" The young man in green shirt looked at the middle-aged man calmly.

"At least one hundred taels."

"A hundred taels!" The young man in green shirt smiled, "No wonder, now you can't get a single copper!"

"Hey, you kid is being mean, so don't blame us for being rude!"

After that, the middle-aged man and several of his accomplices surrounded the young man in green shirt, Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Xiaoyi.

Lu Xiaoxian used voice transmission to secretly say to Lu Xiaoyi: "You don't need to take action, he can handle it, let him deal with it!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoyi folded his arms in front of his chest, pretending to be watching the fun.

Lu Xiaoxian saw it right. The young man in green shirt didn't panic and effortlessly threw the middle-aged man and those men away like sacks.

The young man in green shirt said to Lu Xiaoxian: "These shameful guys have brought shame on Chang'an City, and even I feel sorry for it!"

Before Lu Xiaoxian could speak, those people had already gotten up from the ground.

The leading middle-aged man glanced at the green-shirted young man bitterly: "Just wait!"

After that, several people turned and left.

The young man in green shirt ignored them at all, and said to Lu Xiaoxian with a smile: "There are many snacks in the West Market. Come on, I'll treat you as an apology!"

Lu Xiaoxian vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be interested in getting acquainted with him, so he pretended to be hesitant: "This..."

The young man in green shirt joked: "What? Are you afraid that I will also blackmail you?"

"How could it be?" Lu Xiaoxian stopped being pretentious and cupped his fists and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

The three of them were walking and chatting. After walking a few steps, they saw a shop with a lot of customers. Lu Xiaoxian asked curiously: "Where is this place? Why is the business so prosperous?"

The young man in green shirt introduced: "This is a famous drink from the West Market. It is said that drinking it can cure all kinds of diseases."

"Oh?" Lu Xiaoxian became interested: "Can it cure all diseases?"

"It's definitely impossible to cure all diseases, but the taste is still good. I invite you to try it!" The green-shirted young man found a seat for Lu Xiaoxian and the two of them to sit down, and said with a smile: "The business here is surprisingly good. I want you to try it!"

It’ll be our turn to serve drinks after a while!”

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way!" Lu Xiaoxian looked around and responded to the young man in green shirt.

It can be seen that the young man in green shirt is very familiar with Chang'an City, and he introduced it to the two of them in a eloquent manner.

Lu Xiaoxian's heart suddenly moved, and he was about to ask the green-shirted young man about Hua Yunfeng when he saw the waiter holding a drink and greeting the three of them: "Sir, your drink!"

"Come on, come on, try it quickly..."

Before the young man in green shirt finished speaking, a group of people appeared, including the middle-aged man who suffered a loss just now, and a dozen government officials.
