The first thousand four hundred and eighty-eighth chapters come to Dadu again
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed. In the ancient city of Chang'an, there are few pedestrians on the streets, and seven of the ten street shops are closed. Even if two or three are open, there are few customers and no business. It is hard to imagine that this has happened.
It was the capital of Dayuan Dynasty.
This was the consequence of Temujin's defeat. He devoted all his efforts to attack the Song Dynasty, but in the end he lost his troops and gained nothing. This directly led to an unprecedented depression in the Yuan Dynasty's economy. Chang'an City became increasingly prosperous in the past few decades.
Once back to the original shape.
A war not only tests the country's military, but is also a huge gamble on the economy and people's livelihood in the rear. Once lost, the impact will be immeasurable.
"It seems that Dayuan will not be able to return to its heyday within a few decades." On the street, two men and women in ordinary clothes were walking leisurely. One of them was handsome, with two long swords hanging on his waist.
It was Murong Fu, and the other one was Xiao Zhao, who was small in stature and had big eyes with a hint of blue.
A month ago, after Murong Fu finished handling all the matters in Xiangyang City, he took Huo Qingtong, Princess Xiangxiang, Xiao Zhao and other girls back to the grassland. After paying homage to Mu Zhuolun, Princess Xiangxiang was sent back to Yanzi by his messenger.
Wu, Huo Qingtong returned to Xiangyang City to take over the Tianxuan Army again to prepare for the next gold expedition, while Xiao Zhao stayed with him to take care of his daily life.
As for Xiangyang City, Lu Wenhuan was successfully reinstated and became the governor of Xiangzhou again, in charge of the military and political power of several surrounding towns. Of course, it was actually A'Zhu who was behind the scenes, with Wu Wei and A'Zi assisting, and Lin Chaoying staying.
To protect A'Zhu's safety, Dongfang Qing went to take over the new army of the Sun Moon God Sect. All the other women except Yang Buhui were sent back to Yanziwu.
In addition, Guo Jing survived and saved his life, but he lost all his martial arts skills and became a "semi-poisonous man" full of poison. He had to take highly toxic prescriptions prescribed by Cheng Lingsu every three days and endured the toxin invasion of his body.
Torture, but fortunately such days cannot last long. It could be as short as three to five years, as long as ten or eight years, and he would still die.
For this reason, Huang Rong took him back to Peach Blossom Island to live in seclusion, and decided to accompany him through the last part of the journey. Of course, he didn't even think about having sex.
"Sir, these people are so pitiful." Xiao Zhao frowned when he saw many refugees gathered on both sides of the street begging.
Murong Fu also sighed, "This is the price of war. In every war, it is the common people who ultimately pay the bill."
Xiao Zhao is kind-hearted. Even though these are Yuan people, she still can't bear it, "Master, let's give them some dry food?"
Murong Fu waved his hand and said, "I've given it all. I've been tired of eating it for so many days."
Xiao Zhao laughed playfully, "Sir, when Brother Huo prepared dry food for us, you thought he was stingy and asked him to prepare two or three times more. Now you are tired of it again."
Murong Fu's face was slightly sluggish, "Xiao Zhao, when did you learn to expose the young master's shortcomings!"
"Xiao Zhao doesn't dare." Xiao Zhao said with a smile, took out the dried meat from the bag and walked towards the refugees on the street.
Murong Fu did not go there. He looked around and began to make calculations in his mind. He still didn't know what the situation was. In addition, he didn't know when Zhao Min's wedding was. The first priority was to inquire about the situation. But in this restaurant and inn in the city, he didn't know.
Most of them were closed, and even those that were open didn't have many customers, so you couldn't get any news at all.
"Go directly to Ruyang Prince's Mansion to find Zhao Min, or should you go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion first?"
Murong Fu was thinking in his mind when he suddenly let out a scream. He turned around and saw a group of refugees snatching Xiao Zhao's baggage.
Xiao Zhao couldn't bear to hurt anyone, so he didn't use any martial arts. He just protected himself and held on to the bundle, shouting, "Don't grab it. The bundle only has clothes and no food. Stop grabbing it..."
But the refugees would not listen. They all looked fiercely. It looked like they wanted to swallow Xiao Zhao too.
Murong Fu shook his head helplessly, and was about to step forward to help, but at this moment, a blue figure rushed out, punched and kicked the refugees back, then picked up Xiao Zhao and ran away.
Murong Fu's face darkened when he saw this. He didn't see clearly what the figure looked like, but he was obviously dressed in men's clothing. How could a man dare to pull Xiao Zhao? How could he bear it?
And Xiao Zhao was not slow to react. She couldn't bear to take action against the refugees, but she was not as gentle as she appeared to be towards other men. In an instant, the energy flowed through her body, and with a bang, the figure was instantly ejected.
.
Murong Fu was particularly displeased. He immediately stepped out and passed Xiao Zhao with one step. He grabbed the figure's arm first and was about to add a few more kicks. However, he paused again the next moment. He saw this
She has thin skin and tender flesh, picturesque eyebrows, and beautiful appearance. Looking at her high breasts, she is indeed an out-and-out woman, and a beauty.
Without any hesitation, Murong Fu changed his movements in an instant, reached out with one hand, grabbed the woman's waist, and pressed his body close to the woman.
All this is a long story, but in fact it was just a flash of lightning. The two slowly landed on the ground, and Murong Fu chuckled softly, "Girl, are you okay?"
The woman came back to her senses, turned away like an electric shock, and looked at Murong Fu suspiciously. If she remembered correctly, what this man had just done was a killing move. Why did he become so gentle again in the blink of an eye?
Murong Fu looked her up and down, and couldn't help but look slightly surprised, "Are you Han?"
The woman did not answer, "Who are you? Your martial arts skills are not just for ordinary people. How could you be besieged by a few refugees?"
At this time, Xiao Zhao came over, with a slight apology on her face, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now, and I couldn't control my inner strength for a moment. I wonder if the girl was injured?"
The woman in blue shook her head slightly, "I'm fine. If I had known you were so powerful, I wouldn't have had to do this."
There was a bit of displeasure in his tone. When someone sees an injustice and draws a knife to help, only to find that they don't need help at all, they will feel unhappy in their hearts.
Xiao Zhao chuckled and said, "No matter what, I still want to thank you. It was you who helped us out."
Before the woman in blue could speak, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed over. The leader was a tall, rugged-looking man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slight beard under his chin. With a wave of his hand, a dozen Mongolian soldiers rushed Murong Fu.
He and Xiao Zhao were surrounded, and then he asked the woman in blue warmly, "Are you okay? Who are they?"
The woman in blue frowned slightly and asked instead, "Why are you here?"
"I heard from my subordinates that you were besieged by refugees, so I rushed over to rescue you." The burly man explained, but glanced at Murong Fu and the other two.
The woman in blue's expression suddenly turned cold, "You sent someone to follow me?"
The burly man looked slightly unnatural, "No...I didn't, I happened to be nearby, really!"
The two of them were talking as if no one was watching, and Murong Fu looked at the two of them thoughtfully. The woman in blue had struck too quickly before, and her martial arts skills could not be seen, while the man in armor seemed to have a high status, but he
I don’t know who these two people are.
Xiao Zhao knew the purpose of Murong Fu's visit and did not want him to provoke people in the court too early to avoid exposing his identity, so he gave him a questioning look.
Murong Fu pondered for a moment and then shook his head slightly, deciding to wait and see what happened.
Seeing the burly man's sincere look, the woman in blue couldn't blame him. She said coldly, "I'm fine. Don't send people to follow me again in the future."
"I know!" The burly man looked very rough, but he seemed to have nothing to do with the woman. He answered very simply, and then said, "Most people are not very peaceful recently. You can easily run into danger when you wander around. First of all,
Come back with me."
The woman in blue hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
The burly man's face lit up, and he suddenly turned to look at Murong Fu, "Han people? What are you doing in Da Da?"
His voice was as loud as a bell, and his tone and attitude were completely different from before.
Xiao Zhao subconsciously stood in front of Murong Fu, but Murong Fu pushed him away. He smiled slightly and said, "Doing some small business, who is the general?"
Before the burly man could answer, a Mongolian soldier next to him introduced him, "This is our Prince Galdan of the Great Yuan Dynasty. You two Han thieves, why don't you kneel down and salute?"
"Prince Galdan?" Murong Fu was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at the woman in blue next to him. The look on his face became even more astonished. If this person is Galdan, then this woman
…
"What are you looking at? You are also looking at my prince's woman?" The soldier who answered became even more angry when he saw that Murong Fu ignored him and kept staring at the woman in blue.
And Galdan's face also sank. This woman has been regarded as a forbidden favorite by him, and he wants to kill anyone who takes another look at her.
Murong Fu frowned slightly, glanced at the soldier, and then said calmly, "Prince Galdan, I have never heard of it. I just want to do some small business here. Why, has Dayuan closed down?"
Are you going to stop doing business with the Han people?"
Speaking of this, I have to mention that Dayuan was quite open-minded in terms of trade. Even during wars, it would not close the market and prohibit trade with other countries.
Galdan's face turned pale, "I don't care what your business is, I only know that you two are very evil-looking, and you are not good people at first glance. You must be spies sent by the Han people to find out the news. I will capture you now and torture you severely."
, let’s see if you are honest or not.”
As soon as he said this, Murong Fu looked slightly cold, but at this moment, the woman in blue stopped in front of Galdan and said, "Stop, I am also a Han, why don't you take me to torture?"
"This...I..." Galdan lost his momentum instantly and said in a good voice, "How is this the same?"
"Why is it different? You said before that you would never bully Han people again, but you were trying to trick me?"
"Okay, okay, since you beg for mercy, I won't embarrass them."
Galdan said helplessly, then with a straight face, he said to Murong Fu, "When doing business, act like a businessman. Don't commit any crime, otherwise I will never let you go."
Murong Fu originally wanted to see if he could get acquainted with him and ask him about the affairs of the Yuan Dynasty, but under the current situation, he could only give up this idea. However, maybe he could ask the woman in blue.
