Every gate of Chang'an City is very lively. There are almost as many people leaving the city as entering the city. There is an endless stream of people at the city gate all day long.
Ba Yefeng, who was dressed in a leather robe, led a horse out of the city gate, followed automatically by another horse.
He traveled with him from the Western Regions to Chang'an, and was chased by people from the caravan who had experienced thirty roadside robberies.
"Ba Yefeng, I'll give you these two gold collars. The leader said they are an extra reward for killing enemies along the way. By the way, we live in Puningfang. If you have nowhere to go, you can come to us."
Ba Yefeng looked at him silently for a while. Naba, who was sitting on the horse he was leading, had already bent down and snatched two gold collars from Curly Hu Shang's hand.
It would be a sin for the gold belonging to their brothers and sisters to be left in other people's hands for a second longer. Only the gold that goes into their pockets is considered safe.
The curly-haired Hu merchant "Bala Bala" said many things, but received little response.
Along the way, they were actually used to it. This young man from the Western Regions who carried rhinoceros horns and ice fragments on his back had the fastest knife and the tightest mouth in the world.
After a month of fighting together against a powerful enemy, I haven't heard him chatting with anyone.
His sister is willing to talk, but she is too young and what she says has no logic. As a pure troll, no one likes to talk to her.
Curly Hu Shang talked so much that his mouth went dry, and he didn't get any guarantee of surrender, so he could only reluctantly watch the brothers and sisters of Ba Yefeng take the gold collar and leave.
Although Ba Yefeng worked alone (his sister was not considered a person in Hu Shang's eyes, but a useless item) and brought his own truck to join their caravan, his fighting power was too strong.
Chopping melons and vegetables, you have good knife skills and a stable mentality.
It is a very sharp "weapon", and all the caravans who have used it say it is good.
It's a pity that he was too tight-lipped. No matter how many people made insinuations along the way, they didn't hear any clues.
Moreover, the goods in his hands were also very strange. There was only a bag of valuable rhinoceros horns and ice flakes, and nothing else. The only people guarding the goods were the two brothers.
This was not like doing business at all. Rather than saying that he came to Chang'an City to do business, it was more that he wanted to cheat in Chang'an. I don't know how he managed to get through the customs.
Seeing the Hu brother and sister exiting Tonghua Gate, the curly-haired Hu Shang winked at the two gangsters beside him, and the latter two nodded and followed quietly.
Ba Yefeng led two horses and walked a hundred meters outside the city gate. He suddenly stopped, drew out his Tang Dao and fired back.
I saw a flash of knife light, and the buns on the heads of the two gangsters who were mixed in the crowd at the back were suddenly cut into several pieces, and fell off together with their loose hair.
The two of them were so frightened that their knees weakened and they knelt down to beg for mercy.
Ba Yefeng said coldly: "If we were in the Western Region, you would already be dead. There will be no next time. Get out."
It's not that Ba Yefeng didn't dare to kill people outside Chang'an City, it was just that he wouldn't kill people in broad daylight under the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city.
He is crazy, not stupid.
After scaring away the tail that was following him, Ba Yefeng got on his horse, turned his head and said to his sister on the other horse: "We're going to speed up, hurry up."
"Yes!" Naba nodded solemnly, her big eyes shining with light, without any fear at all.
After clearing customs all the way from the Western Region, Naba was not frightened, but was extremely excited.
She has lived on horseback since she was a child and has seen many burnings, killings, and lootings. Her threshold for accepting blood is very high.
"Drive!" Ba Yefeng clamped his horse's belly and galloped towards the manor of Le'an Township Lord that others told him about.
The horse carrying Naba closely followed the leading horse under Ba Yefeng's seat.
The brother and sister followed the official road and turned into a wide, newly built rural road.
When they entered the manor, they were stopped by the villagers who were busy in the fields: "Little Hu Ji, where are you going? Further ahead is the land of our Lord Le'an Township."
Ba Yefeng paid no attention to it, but he still stopped his horse and looked up. He could already see the simple, magnificent and well-proportioned buildings hidden in the countryside.
Although Ba Yefeng has never seen Le'an Xiangjun's manor, the scene in front of him must be like this. This is not a house that ordinary Chang'an people can build.
Sun Cheyao, who was in the manor, had already received the news that he came back from the village to report. He opened the door with a few troops and came over here.
As soon as he heard from the villagers that two barbarians, one large and one small, had entered the village, Sun Cheyao knew something about it.
Lin Wanwan had told him about this before leaving Chang'an, saying that a young man from the Western Region would defect to her and asked him to deal with him well.
"This must be Brother Ba, right?" Sun Chueyao greeted him with a smile on his face, "I am the manager who is guarding the manor for my wife, Sun Chueyao."
He knew that the young man from the Western Region in front of him was a very important person to his master Lin Wanwan.
"That's right." Ba Yefeng got off his horse and greeted with clasped fists, "Mr. Sun."
"Come on, brother Ba, let's go first to Zhuangzi and let me take care of you brothers and sisters." Sun Chuyao enthusiastically tried to pull Ye Feng's arm, but he avoided it.
The swordsman's arms must not be touched by others, especially unfamiliar people, because you don't know whether he will make a sneak attack next.
Ba Yefeng came from the Western Regions with his sister, and received the news that Lord Le'an had already left Chang'an for a month.
The one he promised was to be sent by Ren Le'an Township Lord for ten years, so he had to rush to Luang County, Jiangnan Province.
He refused Sun Cheyao's suggestion to let him rest for a few days before setting off. As soon as he got the news that Lin Wanwan was not here, he was ready to leave the next day.
Sun Cheyao had already arranged the route from Chang'an to Luan County, and had also allocated two armed units that had been planned for protection.
Ba Yefeng and others were also asked to bring the precious Chinese herbal medicines collected in Chang'an City this month.
There are two routes prepared for them.
One is the most common land route from Chang'an to Luoyang, then transfer to the water route, and take a boat to Luang County via the Grand Canal and the sea.
The other one is all overland, which will be more difficult and more dangerous than the Grand Canal where the navy is overwhelming.
Ba Yefeng naturally chose to go all overland. He was a landlubber who had never seen the sea since he was a child. If he was asked to take the waterway, he would be like an eagle with broken wings. His destiny was controlled by others, so how could he choose.
No matter how hard the land journey is, it doesn't matter if we take the lead. Could it be more dangerous than the road from the Western Regions to Chang'an?
Sun Cheyao had long considered that Ba Yefeng from the Western Regions might not like to take the water route, so he arranged another land route.
The day after Ba Yefeng arrived in Chang'an, he took his sister and two new subordinates, one person and two horses, and galloped away carrying Chinese medicinal materials.
The continuous long journey was a bit tiring for Naba, but it was not unbearable. Their tribe often had to migrate in order to chase water and grass, and she had long been accustomed to such a running life.
