The tall Goguryeo warrior frowned and asked in a low voice: "Master Changsun, what should we do now?"
Changsun Langjun stood behind the crowd with his hands behind his back. Although he was dressed in tattered clothes and his face was unkempt, he had an outstanding temperament. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said: "These people are destined to die if they survive."
We can't get rid of our hearts in a short while. If reinforcements arrive, we will not be able to escape. Leaving a few people to stop them, we leave quickly and wait for an opportunity to enter the city."
The Goguryeo warrior pondered for a moment, how many dead soldiers must be sacrificed...
The Tang army was really brave, but they were just a few city gate soldiers. Even though they knew they were outmatched, they still tried their best to hold themselves and others back. They couldn't get rid of them, and they couldn't kill them all after a while.
Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to point to the four beggars and say: "You stay here and hold off the Tang army!"
The four people had no expression on their faces and just accepted the order: "Here!"
They were originally dead soldiers, but this time they came to Datang and had a narrow escape from death. They died early and died later. It didn't make much difference to them.
Seeing several important figures fleeing, Dugu Cheng and other defenders were helpless.
They were the ones with the lowest combat effectiveness in the Tang army, and they faced extremely vicious bandits. They were proud enough to be able to pursue them so far and fight to the death, but their own strength made them unable to keep all the bandits behind.
Here.
Even the four dead soldiers in front of them made their overwhelmingly superior soldiers feel the pressure of dying.
Every dead soldier is carefully selected and tempered for a long time. He knows that he will die and is fearless. The combat power he unleashes is absolutely astonishing.
Dugu Cheng took a deep breath, held the Hengdao tightly in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The soldiers shouted loudly, and their morale rose sharply!
"kill!"
Dugu Cheng roared and stepped forward slowly, followed closely by the soldiers beside him. More than a dozen horizontal knives flashed under the rising sun, advancing like a wall.
*****
Changsun Langjun and the Goguryeo warriors were hiding in the thatch in front of the woods on the roadside, watching a fleet of vehicles coming from the distance like long snakes.
The Goguryeo warrior looked at it and asked, "But this caravan?"
Changsun Langjun observed carefully for a while, shook his head and said: "No."
The Goguryeo warrior muttered something, stretched out his hand to pick up a grass stalk and stuffed it into his mouth. He looked at the three or five dead soldiers left beside him and sighed depressedly.
His eyes subconsciously glanced at Changsun Langjun, and he cursed in his heart: I followed this noble man of the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an twice, and each time he was ruined, and the end seemed to be worse every time...
Suddenly I heard a low voice in my ear: "Here we come!"
The Goguryeo warriors were refreshed and hurriedly poked their heads out from the grass. Not long after the fleet of cars passed by, another group of vehicles came on the road behind them. There was a long string of carriages loaded with goods, riding on them.
The warriors on horseback were guarding the front and rear, and the guards were tight.
Changsun Langjun turned around and warned: "Follow me later and don't talk!"
The Goguryeo warriors quickly agreed.
I saw Changsun Langjun wiping it from the ground, his hands were covered with soil, and he wiped it on his face... The sweat stains on his face had not subsided, and he became even more embarrassed and unkempt, and his original appearance was completely obscured.
, even people who are familiar with him may not be able to recognize him.
He stood up from behind the bushes, pushed aside the bushes, walked to the middle of the road with a few dead soldiers, and stopped the convoy.
"Uu——"
Several knights walking in front of the convoy quickly reined in their horses, put their hands on the handles of the swords at their waists, and shouted sternly: "Who dares to block the Changsun family's convoy? Are you tired of living? You and others are so ignorant.
, don’t let you care about it, get out of the way quickly!”
Changsun Langjun reached out and took out something from his arms, took two steps forward, threw it to the knight, and then stood in the middle of the road without saying a word.
The knight stretched out his hand to take the thing, and when he put it in front of his eyes, he saw that it was actually a token of the Changsun family.
His expression suddenly changed, and he jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand to stop the convoy behind him, and said with cupped hands: "I wonder what you have to do for me?"
That token is the family emblem of the Changsun family carved from white jade. Seeing it is like meeting the head of the family. It is a first-class token, so naturally I don't dare to neglect it.
Changsun Langjun pointed to a few knights in the convoy and said: "Let them dismount and let their horses and clothes come out."
This "beggar costume" is really too conspicuous. Who knows whether the soldiers guarding the city will escape and bring a large group of troops to encircle and suppress them?
"Here!"
Although the knight was suspicious, he did not dare to disobey. He quickly picked out a few knights who were similar in stature to the beggars and ordered them to take off their clothes and put them on for the eldest grandson and the others.
Changsun Langjun and others changed their clothes, but did not wash their faces with water. They seemed unwilling to show their true appearance. They got on their horses and mixed with the crowd with the Goguryeo warriors and several dead soldiers. Then they ordered the team to set off and headed not far away.
Walk to Chang'an City.
When they arrived at Jinguang Gate, the west gate of Chang'an City, the convoy stopped and allowed inspection by the defenders.
Changsun Langjun saw that there were only a dozen or so soldiers guarding the city in front of the city gate. He guessed that what happened in the south of the city had not been reported yet, and maybe those soldiers had been killed. Then he looked at each other without leaving a trace with the Goguryeo warriors.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief...
When the soldiers guarding the city saw that this was the Changsun family's caravan, they did not dare to conduct too much interrogation. They just pretended to acknowledge the situation and then let them go.
The motorcade slowly drove through the city gate and entered Chang'an City.
Changsun Langjun looked at the tall and heavy city gate tower, the dark city gate hole, and the prosperous and prosperous city behind the city gate, and he couldn't help but feel filled with emotion...
The convoy arrived at Xishi.
The West Market is located in the southwest of the Imperial City. It was built in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. It was very prosperous. The West Market's commercial trade extended to Rome in the west and Goguryeo and the Japanese Kingdom in the east. It was the world trade center and cultural exchange center at this time. Support.
It is the trading system of the entire Silk Road and is the true starting point of the Silk Road.
It’s just that the West Market, which was originally built in the Sui Dynasty, has been completely demolished. The red brick cement buildings built on its original site are lined with two-story and three-story small buildings along the street. The planning is neater and the structure is stronger, making it the most popular.
The fear of fire hazards will be minimized.
Most of the construction projects in the east and west cities have been completed. Chang'an is really too prosperous. Merchants from the east and west gather here. The amount of goods traded every day is astronomical, so we can't wait for a moment. We have just begun.
Once the market is built, many merchants have already settled in it.
The convoy of the Changsun family entered the city through Jinguang Gate and went straight along the street to the north gate of Xishi City. Across the street was the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. Standing at the door were a pair of stone lions, with their majestic and vivid shapes.
The convoy did not stop when it arrived at the gate of the West Market. Instead, it entered the gate and turned a few corners, arriving at a continuous warehouse. Only then did someone come up to meet the convoy and lead the convoy to the warehouse.
Changsun Langjun dismounted, threw the reins to the warriors of the Changsun family, and said, "Take us to the Changsun Mansion."
Although I am familiar with every street and alley in Chang'an, it is different from the past. After all, I have a special status. I am afraid that I will encounter the interrogating government officials on the street and cause trouble.
Especially since he had just escaped the pursuit of the soldiers guarding the south gate of Chang'an not long ago, and perhaps all those soldiers had been slaughtered at this moment, he did not dare to be careless at all.
If you are not careful, you will be in a situation of no return.
Therefore, let the warrior of the Changsun family lead the way. Even if there is any mistake, it will be enough to deal with the past. Looking at Chang'an City, everyone must give some face to the Changsun family.
The warrior did not doubt that he was there, and did not dare to disobey him. After all, this "beggar" was holding the highest-level token of the Changsun family. It was as if the head of the family was here in person. He must be a great figure in the Changsun family. How could he be negligent?
"Mr. Sir, please!"
The warrior said politely and was about to get on his horse, but was stopped by Changsun Langjun: "We'll just walk over."
Riding a horse and galloping through the city was a privilege he could enjoy since he was a child in the past, but now it is not possible. The more eye-catching behavior is, the more likely it is to bring danger to him. Walking past in a low-key manner is the safest way.
.
The warrior was confused. He was just riding a horse. As long as he didn't gallop away, what's the big deal?
Not daring to say anything, I led a few people out of the North Gate of West Market and headed east along the street in front of the Jingzhao Mansion, passing through the Imperial City, to Chongrenfang, where the Changsun family was located.
Unexpectedly, he would walk out of the warehouse and a group of people came towards him. When the leader saw the eldest grandson, whose face was covered with dust, he immediately shouted: "Mom! You are playing with me like a dog.
Are you very proud? Brothers, take them all for me!"
