Chapter Five Six Eight: Treat

This is Chang'an, not Jizhou under Yuan Shao. If in Jizhou, few people dare to disobey Xu You's orders. Tian Feng, a wise and resourceful man, was still overwhelmed by Xu You in front of Yuan Shao. In Chang'an City

The most aggrieved thing is to die because of a violation of some rules. Yuan Shao will not fall out with the Xiliang army because of him. If you die, you are dead. As for whether you are Yuan Shao's number one adviser, there will no longer be any involvement.

, at most, there are words left in the history books about Xu You, who went to Chang'an as an envoy one year and was killed by the general in anger.

"Go and ask what's blocking the road?" Xu You gestured to the general beside him and said. He always maintained his identity and did not want to talk to the warriors. A scholar has the character and pride of a scholar.

The general was eager to flatter him, so he went there happily and shouted majestically: "Who dares to block the way of my family in front of you?" Then he thought that this was Chang'an and couldn't help but shrink his neck. In terms of position, he is just a junior.

A small general in the army was lucky enough to be chosen by Xu You and came to Chang'an. Xiliang's army was most in need of elite soldiers and generals. When would it be his turn as a small general to give instructions.

Mi Wei stopped his horse and snorted coldly: "Where did this person come from? How could he be so ignorant of etiquette and dare to ride on the official road? You two go and investigate."

"No!" The two cavalrymen clasped their fists and dismounted, strolling towards the direction of the carriage. Their hands were already on the scimitars at their waists. If they found something wrong, they would immediately draw their swords and attack.

"General in front of you, please stop. I am the distinguished guest of the general. General, please take me to the general's mansion quickly." Hearing this, Xu You hurriedly walked out of the carriage. Who knew what extraordinary actions these warriors would make?

, no one would intercede for him, so in order to save the last bit of face, he had no choice but to get out of the carriage.

Mi Wei said: "What official? When did Chang'an City have such an official? Could it be that I, the general, didn't know about it?" The Mi family can be regarded as a well-known family in the city. Mi Huan is Jia Rong's wife.

Mi Zhu was a wealthy businessman in the city and was responsible for part of the food and fodder for the Xiliang army. Almost no one wanted to mess with them. What officials were most afraid of was that one day Jia Rong was in a bad mood and Mi Huan took the opportunity to cause trouble.

The combined effect of these few words was unbearable. Seeing Xu You's loud tone, Mi Wei thought of teaching him a lesson.

"General, I am the envoy of Jizhou. I don't understand many of the rules in the city. I hope you can forgive me." Xu You hurriedly surrendered.

Mi Wei said: "No matter who you are, you must abide by the rules in the city. This road is an official road. Only officials from Chang'an can walk on it. Please go to another road. This general will pretend that this has never happened."

.”

Under the eaves, Xu You didn't want to argue too much. After meeting Jia Rong, it was inevitable that he would gossip about the general.

Seeing that there was no good show to watch, the people around dispersed in a hurry. Everyone was trying to have fun. Naturally, they thought it would be better for the two parties to make a few gestures. They were also addicted to it. Unexpectedly, this envoy who claimed to be Jizhou,

Such a lack of courage, seeing the Xiliang army's bright clothes and angry horses, made him timid. No wonder he couldn't defeat the Xiliang army on the battlefield.

Xu You moved dejectedly from the official road to the road where ordinary people walked. Chang'an City was so lively during the day. It was naturally very difficult to move. The resentment towards Mi Wei in his heart became more and more. If it weren't for him, there would be no such thing.

In such a situation, being embarrassed in front of the public, Xu You had long lost the calmness and calmness he had when he first arrived. The generals on the side also followed him obediently, not daring to say a word for fear of making Xu You unhappy.

Get into trouble.

After a lot of effort, Xu You arrived at the General's Mansion from the road that ordinary people took.

Even though Xu You was used to big scenes, when he saw the general's palace in Chang'an, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The Xiliang Army is really very rich. This mansion, even the lord's mansion, is not even half as impressive. Just with this momentum,

It’s very rare.”

There were many craftsmen under the rule of the Xiliang Army. As the treatment of the craftsmen gradually improved, their level naturally increased, lest they lose their food, clothing and livelihood.

As a craftsman, he is not the lowest level person in Chang'an. It can be said that there are no strict ranks in the city. Unless they are generals and officials, everyone has his own use and equal status. Craftsmen can also use their own craftsmanship.

To reach an official position through hard work, the prerequisite is that you must have sufficient ability.

Like Pu Yuan, he was just a blacksmith before, but with his forging skills, he became a high-level official in the Xiliang army, with a status equal to that of a prefect. This is not a secret in the city, and it has stimulated many craftsmen to continue their efforts, hoping that

Figure can climb to high positions.

With the gradual development of Chang'an, the requirements for craftsmen are getting higher and higher. If you want to build a house or decorate a restaurant, you need more professional people, otherwise businessmen will not be willing to pay for it.

"Excuse me, General, please go to General Tong Bing in the mansion and tell me that the envoy from Jizhou has arrived." Xu You lowered his posture and said to the guard guarding the door.

The guard said: "Wait a moment." Then he walked towards the mansion.

Xu You waited left and right, but no guards came out. In the blink of an eye, it had been almost an hour since he entered. In Jizhou, others were always waiting for him, so why did he wait for a small gatekeeper general? In Jizhou, he was just like a dog.

However, for the sake of his lord's grand plan, he had no choice but to swallow his anger again. Xu You felt that if he didn't vent his anger, he would definitely go crazy.

"The general is not in the mansion, please wait." Another quarter of an hour passed, and the guard finally came out, but he brought such news.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

"Prince Liang is not in the palace. I have kept your distinguished guests waiting for a long time. Please come with me and stay in the city." A man walked out of Prince Liang's palace. His status was obviously much higher than that of the guard guarding the door.

Xu You snorted coldly and walked away. The clay figurine was still earthy, not to mention the famous Xu Youhu from Jizhou. This trip to Chang'an as an envoy was justifiable. Unexpectedly, he encountered a lot of difficulties in the city.

Wei was left in disgrace on the street, and the front door of the General's Mansion was deflated again. You can imagine how he felt. Even if Jia Rong didn't take Xu You seriously, he still had to take care of Jizhou Yuan Shao. Xu You had even thought about it.

After returning to Jizhou, he must speak ill of Jia Rong in front of Yuan Shao.

The guards hurriedly followed. Xu You was their master. Even if the Xiliang army was strong, they would not provide them with accommodation or a place to eat.

The general who walked out of the general's mansion did not expect that Xu You would perform such a show. He shook his head and smiled bitterly before walking into the general's mansion.

Only then did Xu You have time to take a look at the scenery in Chang'an City. He saw that pedestrians were constantly coming and going, but they were not as mixed as in Jizhou. They were orderly. Every once in a while, patrolling soldiers would pass by.

Watching the surroundings vigilantly, after the previous incident of the man in black, the general in charge of public security in the city issued the strictest order.

Looking at the road in front of him, Xu You immediately distinguished it. After today's events, he had a very clear distinction between the official road and the road taken by the people in Chang'an City. The middle road could accommodate eight horses.

Driving, and there are two roads on both sides of the main street, one of which is the official road, the other is the road for common people and ordinary merchants, and the middle one is naturally the passage used by mobilizing soldiers and horses.

"Could it be a house where officials live?" Xu You asked as he looked at the houses on both sides of the road, but when he saw ordinary businessmen coming in and out at will, he immediately realized that he had guessed wrong.

When passing through the commercial area divided by Jia Rong in Chang'an City, Xu You was even more shocked. Even when Chang'an was at its peak, it was just like this. There were many shops, pedestrians rubbed shoulders, and various sounds reached his ears, which made Xu You feel confused.

It feels like being immersed in a sea of ​​people.

"Is this Chang'an City?" the general on the side asked, his tone full of surprise.

"Huh, compared to Jizhou, there's nothing surprising about it." Xu You said, waving his sleeves.

The general realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly flattered him again, saying that Jizhou was only in the sky and Chang'an was worthless.

"It is said that Fenglai Tower in Chang'an City is very famous. Since we are here today, you can't miss it. Come in, I am treating you today." Xu Youhao said angrily.

No matter what Xu You's intentions are, the accompanying guards don't care so much. As long as they have food, they can do anything, let alone the famous Feng Lai Tower. Although they don't know what's so special about Feng Lai Tower, what can they do?

Those who were attracted by a big shot like Xu You must be extraordinary, and each of them secretly thought about having a big meal later, so that they would have more bragging rights after returning home.

"Sir, please take a seat." The maid in charge of entertaining in Feng Lai Tower hurriedly came forward to greet her. People who could enter and exit Feng Lai Tower were either rich or noble. Although the maid looked down on the guards around Xu You, she still insisted.

After enduring the pain, she showed a sweet smile, not to mention that Fenglailou had just been relieved from the turmoil recently, and Fengya paid more attention to service.

"Good wine and good food, feel free to bring them." Xu You said with a big wave of his hand.

Seeing that a big guest had arrived, the maid hurriedly left for a moment. Immediately, several more maids came to entertain the guards. They usually ate from big bowls and drank in large gulps. Never had such treatment been given to these great gentlemen.

I didn't even know where to put my hands, and the maids in Feng Lai Tower were not only beautiful and beautiful, but they were also pretty, so the guards barely had their eyes set on them.

Xu You and the guards divided five tables in total. The Feng Lai Building suddenly became lively. The soldiers kept drinking and shouting among themselves. Feng Lai Building, which was usually very elegant and quiet, became unusually lively. Occasionally, guests came in and out.

The two-foot-long monk was also puzzled by this scene.
