Looking at Wen Yanbo's gray hair, even if Xiao Han was not angry, he would not be cruel enough to treat an old man who could be his grandfather as a servant.
"Why……"
With a long sigh, Xiao Han finally jumped off the horse, stopped the old man who was about to hold the rope, and whispered: "Why are you doing this?"
Wen Yanbo looked at Xiao Han in front of him without saying a word, just smiling bitterly.
Xiao Han stood in front of the horse and looked at Wen Yanbo for a long time. Finally, as if compromising, he pointed behind him: "The general is behind!"
"Thank you Xiaohou!"
A hint of gratitude flashed in Wen Yanbo's eyes, and then he bowed his hands deeply towards Xiao Han, straightened his clothes, and walked step by step towards the location pointed by Xiao Han.
"Master Hou! Is this old man the same Wen Yanbo who impeached General Li Jing?"
As soon as Wen Yanbo left, Xiaodong immediately came over and looked at the old man's back with a strange expression on his face.
Xiao Han was also looking at the somewhat stooped back, nodding with a complicated expression.
"yes!"
"Then why is he still here?"
"he comes……"
Xiao Han wanted to tell Xiaodong that Wen Yanbo came here just to tell others through actions that he was also a man in the temple and could not help himself. But in the end, this sentence was not uttered.
"What on earth is he here for?"
Xiaodong didn't hear the answer and urged Xiao Han to ask curiously.
But this time, Xiao Han glared: "Bah! Why does this little brat have so many problems? Go to the city!"
"Little brat? How much older are you than me? Besides, aren't we going to the city?"
Xiaodong, who was scolded, rolled his eyes, muttered, and helplessly followed Xiao Han towards the city.
Yumen Pass is a border military city and an important gateway to the Western Regions. Therefore, if you want to enter the city here, identity verification is essential.
Under the tall pass city gate, several soldiers were guarding the roadside. When they saw Xiao Han coming from a distance, they quickly got up and waited respectfully.
They didn't recognize Xiao Han, but they recognized Wen Yanbo, who had lived in the city for a few days. Seeing that even such a big official in the capital treated this young man with great courtesy, they naturally became more and more frightened.
Fortunately, this unknown young man seemed to be very kind. Not only did he smile at a few of them when he passed them, he also took the initiative to throw a few coppers into the basket to use as city tax.
"Brother, the money he gave is not enough..."
When Xiao Han led Xiaodong and Lengzi into the city gate, several soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. One of the younger soldiers also glanced at the copper coins in the basket and half-jokingly said to an old man next to him.
Zu said.
However, the old pawn was obviously not in a joking mood. Hearing this, he directly raised his hand, slapped him on the back, and angrily said: "Not enough? Do you dare to go?"
"Ahem, I don't dare, I don't dare..." The soldier received a slap, grinned and shrank back.
What a joke! Don’t tell me what this man’s identity is, the thousands of troops stationed outside the city alone are scary enough!
Xiao Han, who had already entered the city, naturally didn't know: Yumenguan usually deals with merchants from the Western Regions, so the cost of entering the city is much higher than other places! His few coppers, which are enough to travel in Chang'an, can't even connect half of the people here.
The fees are not enough.
After entering the city, Xiao Han and others discovered that the scene inside the Yumenguan City was completely different from the Xiao Suo appearance they had just seen outside!
The streets in the city cannot be said to be crowded with tourists, but they can definitely be called lively!
"Huh? Camel!"
"And the red-haired barbarian!"
Since entering the city, Xiaodong and Lengzi's low voices seemed to have never stopped.
Even Xiao Han was secretly sizing up this small border town that was completely different from other cities.
There are very few Tang people in Yumen Pass. To be more precise, there should be very few Tang people!
People walking on the street, besides groups of soldiers, were foreigners of various skin colors and hair.
And not only pedestrians, but also those who set up stalls on the roadside and bargained in proficient Tang dialect while working, most of them had the faces of foreigners!
If it weren't for the buildings in the city still retaining the Han style, Xiao Han would really think that he had traveled to another country again.
"Ah! Distinguished guest! It's such an honor for Nuairi to meet you!"
Just as Xiao Han's master and servants were looking around on the street, a foreigner speaking broken Tang dialect suddenly appeared in front of them, and he greeted them diligently, stroking his chest.
"Who are you? Do you know us?" Xiao Han didn't react much to the visitor. On the contrary, Xiaodong and Lengzi were startled and hurriedly asked with their beards glaring.
"I don't know!" Nu Aili raised his head and smiled at Xiao Han and others: "But I think we will become friends!"
"Tch! Who would become friends with a bearded man?" Xiaodong and Lengzi sneered, with disdain on their faces.
At this time, the term worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners had not been invented at all. The stubborn and proud Tang people always believed that they were descendants of the Chinese people, just like those bearded people, you are just barbarians! Let alone worship, even if they communicate on an equal footing, it would be a shame.
A matter of identity!
"Hey, distinguished guest, please take a look over there first, and then consider whether you want to be friends with Nu Aili." Nu Aili seemed to have anticipated Xiaodong and Leng Zi's attitude, and was not angry when he saw it.
He just pointed towards an alley mysteriously.
"That's that?" Xiaodong and Lengzi looked in the direction Nuairi pointed.
At the entrance of the somewhat dark alley, several scantily clad Hu Ji were posing there. With their movements, the thin layer of gauze could not hide the spring beauty inside. At that time, the two people's eyes were straight.
Already.
Nuairi seemed very satisfied with the performance of the two of them. He twirled his beard proudly and said, "How is it? Do you think Nuairi is a friend worth making?"
"It's worth it!" Xiaodong swallowed and nodded spinelessly!
"Ahem!" At this time, Xiao Han couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help coughing twice.
"Ah?" Xiaodong was suddenly awakened by the sound of coughing. He looked at Xiao Han who looked strange next to him, quickly wiped away the saliva that was about to drip, and said angrily to Nuairi: "It's worth... it's worth a fart! I am pure and pure.
, people give you the nickname Honest Young Man, how can you collude with you! Go, go, go away! Don’t block the road!"
Nuairi was smiling like a fox who stole a chicken just now, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, these carefully selected golden pigs in front of him would turn into selfless gentlemen, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Shh, I'll come find you again tonight..."
Just when Nuairi lowered his face and wanted to get angry, a voice that only two people could hear quietly passed into his ears, which immediately made his downcast face turn into a cheerful smile again.
