Along the way, Xu Da pointed and pointed, and all he expressed in his words was how many soldiers could be hidden in such a big city, how many people could be gathered, how much food could be stored, etc. Li Xu nodded in agreement like a sleeping insect, but what he was thinking about was
In such a big city, with such a dense flow of people, how much income can be made by opening a grocery store in a busy city every day? One of them looked at Xiong Fei as he spoke, while the other listened intently but not attentively, but they also cooperated well with each other.
"The First Emperor unified the world, and General Meng Tian once stationed 20,000 troops here. Throughout his life, the Huns did not dare to go south to herd horses!" Xu Dayan jumped off his horse and pointed to a dilapidated ancient temple. The temple was full of incense and chat,
The paint on the gate was mottled and peeling off, making it look even more desolate compared with the lively scenery around it. However, the local people did not find it too shabby, and everyone who passed the temple gate dismounted their horses and walked slowly. Even the vendors setting up stalls along the street tried their best to
Not near the temple entrance.
"Meng Tian, wasn't he killed by the second emperor?" Li Xu jumped off the horse and asked in a low voice. After walking around for a long time, he and Xu Dayan finally found a common topic.
"I wish I didn't die at the hands of a foreign race!" Xu Dayan shrugged his shoulders and sighed. Li Xu, who was like a follower next to him, was very different from his personality, but apart from himself, Li Xu was the only one left in the entire caravan.
A person who has read books can only accommodate himself no matter how dissatisfied he is.
Li Xu didn't have time to listen to his long sigh. As soon as he jumped off the horse, his eyes were attracted by a two-story small building with carved beams and beams in the distance. The whole building was painted in bright colors, and there was faint sound of silk and bamboo inside.
The people who came out of the door were all well-dressed high-rollers, all of them with extremely rosy faces, as if everyone had just concluded a big deal.
"It's just a brothel, what's there to see?" Xu Dayan shouted in a low voice, looking at his companion with even more disdain.
Next, Li Xu's reply made his eyes fall out of anger.
"Isn't the brothel painted with paint? Why does it have such a weird name? What kind of goods are sold inside? Brother Maogong, would you like to come and have a look!" Li Xu pulled the reins of the horse and stepped forward step by step.
"We don't sell goods, we only sell laughter!" Xu Dayan was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stepped forward and grabbed him.
"Are you kidding me?" Li Xulu was stunned for a while, then realized that the brothel was actually a brothel, and suddenly his face turned red to the root of his neck.
"Is it possible that the folk customs in Shanggu County are so simple? You have never even heard of a brothel!" Xu Dayan couldn't stand his companion being so ignorant, and his voice increased a few points without realizing it.
Li Xu turned away again and stopped talking to him. Xu Dayan thought that he had spoken too harshly, which made him feel annoyed. Just when he was about to change the topic elsewhere, Li Xu suddenly turned around and blushed.
He pulled his sleeve and said: "Uncle Zhang, Du Scaran, Wang Mazi, they all went to the brothel, no, they were dragged into the alley by an old woman next to the brothel!"
"They are common people. They have spare money. If they don't do this, what else can they do?" Xu Dayan jumped on his horse and said angrily. "Let's go quickly, these places are really dirty!"
Seeing that his companion suddenly became very unhappy, Li Xu had no choice but to jump on his mount. The bold and righteous Sun Jiu, the treacherous and stingy Du Scaran, and the ferocious and lecherous Wang Mazi. For several days, dozens of merchants and hawkers seemed to be in the temple.
Each of the Arhats has a different face. He doesn't know which one is the real face of Xing Shang, or in other words, which face will become his future self. He just feels empty in his heart and is really confused.
The street was crowded with people, and the two teenagers couldn't get up quickly even if they wanted to leave. After walking more than a hundred steps, there was a sudden chaos in front of them, and everyone squeezed through.
"It's a fight, it's a fight!" A rogue, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, squeezed into the crowd and shouted to cheer for the perpetrators. The people watching in front refused to cooperate and suddenly stepped back.
The gangster was pushed to the ground, and several big feet wearing straw sandals stepped on him without any explanation.
"Oh, my grandma, you are a bastard!" The little gangster was trampled so hard that he screamed and cursed. He got up and tried to find someone to fight for. When he raised his head and looked forward, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He even lost his headscarf after being stepped on.
If you dare to pick it up, you will run to the shops on the roadside. The shops on the left and right have closed their doors and windows, fearing that someone will take advantage of the situation and steal your goods.
The broad street became empty in an instant. In the middle of the street, two men dressed as Turks brandished machetes and slashed at several small vendors with "ping, ping, ping". Although there were many vendors being chased, there were not many.
With weapons in hand, they could only hold the seller's load and escape while resisting. Some people's arms had already been stained, and the goods fell all over the ground. However, the barbarians who had gained the upper hand still refused to let go. While slashing, they spoke loudly in Chinese.
He yelled and cursed: "Asking me for money, I am your emperor's guest, do you understand? You emperors don't dare to ask me for money, who gave you the courage to lend it to you!"
Hu people are unreasonable, which is the consensus of the people in border counties. Therefore, when buying and selling goods, it is rare to bargain with Hu people who pass by. After the fixed price is quoted, you can buy if you like, and you can do as you wish if you don't sell. You will never put yourself at risk.
The goods were handed over to the Hu people, giving them the opportunity to see the goods first and then pay. These traders were probably traders from afar from the south and did not understand the rules of doing business with the Hu people. They were given free money by the Hu people.
After receiving the goods, he tried to get his money back, but was chased by the angry man with a knife.
"Stop!" Li Xu shouted at the top of his lungs. Although his parents repeatedly warned him to mind his own business on the road before setting off, but seeing that someone was about to die on the spot, he immediately ignored his parents' instructions.
After shouting, Li Xu remembered that he didn't bring a short knife for self-defense when he went out today. The two barbarians were obedient, gave up on the hunted hawker, and walked over with a sinister smile.
It was obviously too late to ride away. With Xu Dayan by his side, Li Xu didn't want to be underestimated. He jumped off the horse with both hands, bent down and went to the roadside to pick up bricks. How could he find any bricks in such a busy street?
Rotten tiles, in a panic, someone put a door bolt in his hand. The tiger roared, carrying it and rushing forward.
In the middle of the street, Xu Dayan had already fought with two barbarians. With a horse whip in his hand, he actually blocked two scimitars. Then Li Xu ran forward to help the fight desperately, Xu Dayan
His eyes became more and more powerful, and he whipped a horsewhip so loudly that the wind whined, and in a blink of an eye, the faces of the two barbarians were covered with flowers.
The two barbarians were hit by Xu Dayan's whip on their faces, and Li Xu's sap on their waists accidentally. They were so angry that they screamed. When the people around saw the two barbarians suffering a loss, they immediately gave the two desperate teenagers
Come cheer loudly.
"Okay! Hit him, hit him hard!"
"Okay, smash, smash him!" (Note 2)
Through the crack in the door, the people cheered loudly.
The two barbarians had been living in the Central Plains for more than a year, and their Chinese language was more familiar than their hometown dialect. After fighting for a long time, the two young men heard the cheers of the people again. They were so irritated that they became angry. When their steps changed, they immediately felt cold under the light of the sword.
.
This is the trick used by barbarians to win their lives. Bullying a few hawkers just now was just a joke in the eyes of barbarians. As a result, the situation on the field was reversed. The whip in Xu Dayan's hand was soft, making it difficult to parry, and he was bent.
The knife forced him to retreat continuously. Although Li Xu used a door bolt as a weapon, he had not received any guidance from a famous teacher, and his movements were not organized, so he could only swing it wildly with a strong force.
"Bang!" Xu Dayan's whip met the scimitar and was chopped into pieces. Seeing the advantage, the barbarian who was against him quickly spun around and slashed at his arm with the scimitar like a sword.
Li Xu, who was resisting another machete, saw that the situation was not good, gave up on his opponent, raised the door bolt, and chased Xu Dayan straight into the back of the head of the foreigner.
"Dang!" The door latch was separated by the Hu man with a scimitar. The two Hu men, one after the other, sandwiched Li Xu in the middle. Xu Dayan rushed forward to save him, but it was already too late. He watched the two scimitars.
Running towards Li Xu’s knees.
"Brother!" Xu Dayan's head buzzed, and he waved his fists and tried to rush forward to fight. Although today's troubles were caused by Li Xu's meddling, as a companion who went out together, he still couldn't bear to see Li Xu
He became lame at a young age.
At this critical moment, a black light suddenly flashed in the air. "Dang, Dang" was heard twice, and the two scimitars that were determined to win were opened one after another, and an eight-foot-long python lay in front of Li Xu.
"Stop it!" A burly officer on horseback shouted angrily.
The two barbarians had already gotten angry and were unwilling to stop. They took half a step back, staggered their bodies, and actually formed a combined attack formation, howling and rushing towards the officer.
"Dang, Dang", there were two more crisp sounds. The two scimitars flew into the sky at the same time. The giant python-like horse trembled and stopped motionless between the two Hu men. The three-foot-long
The sharp cold light shone directly at the two men's throats.
"We are the guests invited by your great emperor!" The two barbarians did not dare to move their bodies anymore, but they said arrogantly, "You, you can't kill, kill me!".
"We in the Sui Dynasty welcome guests from far away, but if there are evil guests who bully us, the answer will be just one word!" The officer sneered and said with a shake of one hand, he pulled back the eight-foot-long girdle, and then shouted loudly, "
roll!"
"Get out!" On both sides of the street, countless heads poked out from behind the windows and shouted curses. Amidst the laughter and curses of the crowd, the two barbarians scurried away with their heads in their hands.
When everyone had laughed enough, the officer handed the horse to his entourage. He jumped off his mount and smiled at Xu and Li and asked: "You two guys are so brave. You dare to stop the Hu people from committing crimes with your bare hands. I don't know why."
Where did the bit come from? Can you leave a name?"
"This, this..." Li Xu panicked again. Growing up, the biggest official he had ever seen was Zhao Ergouzi, an errand boy in the county government. He had only heard of other high-ranking figures, but had never been in contact with him. He had never come into contact with this person.
The officer who asked him a polite question could not tell the rank of the other person at all, nor did he know how to salute this person. In a moment of panic, he even forgot to put down the door bolt that had been cut into holes in his hand, and tightened it tightly.
Hold it and block it across your chest. (To be continued)
