Chapter Seventy-Eight: Finding Out the News
"My lord, this Chang'an is also quite prosperous, and it is different from the rumors in the outside world that Dong Zhuo is like purgatory on earth. Zhao Yun looked at the people coming and going on the streets of Chang'an, although it was not extremely prosperous, but it also seemed extremely prosperous.
"Zilong, seeing is believing, hearing is false! Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and this sentence is very reasonable. Dong Zhuo is cruel, but he is not stupid, if there is no one under his rule, only him and the Xiliang army, then what else does he have to do? Of course, Dong Zhuo's brutality is undoubted, his rule is peaceful, and the surrounding counties are naturally the ones who suffer. ”
The country where Yuan Chang was located in his previous life was the place where gossip was most strongly spread. A small thing, after being publicized by hundreds, thousands or even more people, will change its taste.
Therefore, the outside world's statement about Dong Zhuo will definitely be untrue. This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Chang dared to go to Chang'an, if the Xiliang army would cut people when they saw them, and rob them when they saw them, Yuan Chang would not come here with nothing to eat.
"Hmm!"
Zhao Yun nodded approvingly, then stopped talking, and began to observe the scene in Chang'an with a curious expression. Chang'an is the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, after more than 200 years, it is still very interesting.
A group of four people walked to the west of Chang'an City, which is a place for market transactions, merchants gathered, and there are many shops, and if the four people want to stay in the hotel, they have to stay here. Because the West Market is close to the starting point of the "Silk Road", there are many foreign merchants living in the surrounding area, including merchants from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Persia, Dashi and other places. These merchants sold the precious spices and medicines they brought to the merchants of the Central Plains, and then brought jewelry, silk fabrics, and porcelain back to their countries to sell, thus reaping a lot of profits.
Therefore, the West Market is also the best place to find out the news.
"Are the four guest officers going to be sharpened or stay in the hotel?"
Seeing Yuan Chang and the four of them walking into the restaurant, the hotel's junior second child showed a professional smile and asked enthusiastically. This little second seemed to have extremely sharp eyes, and saw that Yuan Chang was the one who could call the shots among the four, but when he asked, his eyes were eagerly looking at Yuan Chang.
"Give us a private room, a table of good food and wine, and then two fine rooms, where we will stay for some time. ”
"Okay, guest officer, you will prepare it for you later. ”
Xiao Er listened to Yuan Chang's words and knew that this was the heroic lord in front of him, and the smile on his face became even brighter. After taking the four of them to the private room on the second floor, they sang a song and quickly went down to prepare.
At this time, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei had weird smiles on their faces, but Liu Xi was blushing, as if he was shy about something.
"Hey, why are the faces of the three of you so abnormal, isn't it that you are not accustomed to the water and soil, why don't you ask a doctor to take a look?" Yuan Chang saw the expressions of the three of them, and said with concern at the moment.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei rolled their eyes, secretly despised Yuan Chang's stupid appearance, and the wolf's ambition had already been seen by the dagger, and he was still so well disguised. As for Liu Xi, his face became even more ruddy, his head was lowered, only a piece of black hair was revealed, but he didn't dare to look at the faces of the three of them.
Yuan Chang was speechless, isn't this a specific meaning of the ancients? Why can't he understand it, but he knows that the three of them are not sick, so he doesn't care.
"Guest, this is the wine and food you ordered. There are also Tianzi No. 5 and Tianzi No. 6 upstairs for a few guest officers to rest, take the key, if there are any other instructions, the guest officer can speak. ”
When Xiao Er gave the key to Yuan Chang, he raised his eyebrows, and his face was **.
Yuan Chang was puzzled, what does this mean? It seems that he doesn't understand a lot, and he really needs to find a time to understand the meaning of these expressions of the ancients. No, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei don't understand what they mean, it's not good to go on like this, they can't communicate with the people below, and it will inevitably be difficult to act.
"Xiao Er, listen to your tone, do you know everything about this Chang'an City?"
When Xiao Er heard this, he showed a smug look on his face, and said proudly: "Guest officer, you really asked the right person, my little sixth son has been in Chang'an for more than ten years, and he knows very well what every grass and tree looks like." As long as the guest officer asks about the affairs in Chang'an City, my little sixth son can say a few words. In the entire Chang'an City, my little sixth son has this ability, and he changed to the second child of other restaurants, and he definitely doesn't know as much as me. ”
Yuan Chang smiled, this is naturally a little exaggerated in the second sentence called Xiao Liuzi. Not to mention the size of this Chang'an City, there are so many princes and ministers in Chang'an City, how can they be known by a character like Xiao Liuzi? In this way, it is just an advertisement for their restaurant, and Yuan Chang knows it in his heart, but he will not expose it.
"Since the second brother said so, then I really want to ask. ”
While speaking, Yuan Chang took out a small piece of gold from his arms and put it on the desk, and when he saw this piece of gold, Xiao Er's eyes suddenly lit up. This piece of gold is too much left after Yuan Chang's food expenses and hotel expenses, and what is the meaning of the rest, Xiao Er naturally understands. At that moment, Xiao Liuzi looked at Yuan Chang eagerly, waiting for Yuan Chang to ask.
"Little second brother, I don't embarrass you, you tell me about the strange things in Chang'an City, you can take this piece of gold. ”
Yuan Chang waved his hand and said proudly. As the heir of the Yuan family, even if Yuan Chang is no longer welcomed, his background is destined for his wealth. The jade pendant on his waist and the hand ornaments are all precious and abnormal, so Yuan Chang is really not short of money to spend. Of course, these are small amounts of money, and if you want to build an elite team, you won't be able to see enough.
Xiao Liuzi's eyes flashed, and the thief swept around, his ears trembled, and after making sure that the partition wall had no ears, he whispered: "The son is so arrogant, my little sixth son will not hide his secrets." However, it is said that there is a mansion in this Chang'an City, which belongs to the king of Situ in the court, and it is said that the king has adopted many orphans, most of whom are women. I don't know if this Lord Wang has a good eye, this adopted orphan is a rare beauty in the world, any one, compared to the beauties in the palace. If Childe is lucky enough to know one of them, then..."
Xiao Liuzi said with a smile that all men know, but he didn't laugh for long, but he felt that the air in this room seemed to suddenly become cold, and when he raised his eyes and swept it, he secretly said that he had miscalculated.
I saw Liu Xi staring at him with a smile, but there was a terrifying murderous aura in his eyes.
"Ahem!"
Yuan Chang coughed twice and relieved the siege for this little two. As for the Lord Situ Wang he was talking about, Yuan Chang naturally knew that it was Wang Yun. If there were no these beautiful righteous women, Wang Yun's discord plan would not have succeeded.
"Little second brother, do you think this son seems to be a person who lacks beautiful women? This matter is not counted, and there are other anecdotes. ”
When Xiao Liuzi heard this, he glanced at Yuan Chang gratefully, slapped himself lightly, and said with a smile: "It's the little one who said the wrong thing, Gongzi is handsome, heroic and extraordinary, better than Pan Fan, like Song Yu, people love him, flowers bloom, a pear tree pressing the appearance of a begonia, how can he look at those vulgar fans." ”
After saying this, Xiao Liuzi felt that the murderous aura locked on his body dissipated, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, this strange thing is not said to exist, Xiao Liuzi frowned and pondered for a moment, quietly glanced at Liu Xi, suddenly his eyes lit up, and immediately said: "Childe, it is just so happened that you came, but there is a wonderful thing in Chang'an City recently." ”
"Oh!"
Yuan Chang replied noncommittally, obviously not caring too much, but when Xiao Liuzi said the matter, Yuan Chang's eyes suddenly lit up.
