The imperial capital of Luoyang was built with a closed structure, separated by countless walls to separate the palace, government offices, warehouses, and alleys. The streets and alleys on the inner side of the ring wall of the east, west, north and south streets and some other small alleys, and the residents' houses are distributed in the alleys.

There are more than 100 "squares" in the city, and half of them are distributed in the north of the Luohe River, and most of them are distributed in the south of the Luohe River, and most of them are the residences of dignitaries and dignitaries, and many of them are carefully built as gardens. Each workshop is closed, and everyone can move around the city during the day and must return to the workshop at night.

Xiuye Fang is only two streets away from Luoyang Palace, not to mention the convenience of entering the palace, and the location is also first-class. The people who live in the workshop are either relatives of the emperor or dignitaries, except for Lu Xiaoxian, who is just a cloth cloth.

The house where Lu Xiaoxian lived was originally the mansion of Prime Minister Xu Jingzong, and Xu Jingzong's status was extremely prominent in Gaozong's dynasty.

Later, Xu Jingzong died, the Xu family gradually declined, and the house was given to Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong by Wu Zetian. As the Zhang brothers became more and more favored, Wu Zetian gave them a larger mansion. So the Zhang brothers gave all the land belts and house servants to Lu Xiaoxian, which can be regarded as a reward for Lu Xiaoxian.

The Zhang brothers are deeply favored by today's saints, and they can be said to be well-known in Luoyang City. As for the relationship between Lu Xiaoxian and the Zhang brothers, many people are not very clear, but the people in the Wuhou shop of Xiuye Fang must be clear, if they don't even have this bit of eyesight, it is estimated that this Wuhou's errand will not be done for long.

At this moment, several martial artists who were patrolling the market saw Lu Xiaoxian and his party coming out of the mansion with a big grin, and the people who led them were stunned, and they gave an unnatural smile on their faces.

Although this martial artist is five big and three thick, and he is not good-looking, the beauty of life in his smile still infected the oncoming Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded slightly at the other party, which was regarded as a greeting.

Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaoxian walked side by side, and also smiled at Wu Hou.

Wu Hou couldn't help but shudder, and his smile was no better.

Seeing the backs of a few people disappearing outside the north gate of the workshop, Wu Hou turned around and continued to patrol the street.

Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng walked side by side in front, Yin Feng and Lang Yue followed behind, and the four of them talked and laughed, and walked towards Tianjin Bridge.

Between the lanes, each has opened up a road, although it is not as wide as the main street that runs through the north and south gates up to 100 steps, but it is staggered with the vertical and horizontal ten streets that run through the major city gates, and it is also considered to be orderly. Cherry pomegranates, elm willows and other trees are planted on both sides of the road, and in early summer, the peach and willow are green, and the scenery is picturesque and beautiful.

Lu Xiaoxian stopped suddenly, Zhang Meng followed, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He stretched his waist fiercely and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what's wrong, why is my waist so sleepy?" ”

Yin Feng and Lang Yue, who were following Lu Xiaoxian, also stopped, and blurted out angrily when they heard his words: "If you don't sleep all night, you know that it's strange that you are tossing blindly and your waist is not sleepy!" ”

Rong Yue's face turned red for no reason, and she glanced at her sister, as if she blamed her for speaking openly.

Last night, Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng had a great time drinking, and when they returned to the bedroom, it was already the second half of the night, and Yin Feng and Lang Yue were waiting for him as usual. Lu Xiaoxian and the two sisters have been separated for a long time, and the reunion is of course indispensable, he used the strength of the wine to play with the sisters in a variety of tricks, only until the two kept telling him to forgive, no wonder Yin Feng would say so at this moment.

Zhang Meng looked at Lu Xiaoxian with a wicked smile: "There is a knife on the wine-colored head, you have to take care of your body!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Zhang Meng, his mouth did not show weakness, and said sonorously: "Don't worry about it, I'm in good health!" ”

As they spoke, they could see the Tianjin Bridge from afar.

Tianjin Bridge was built in the first year of the great cause of Sui Yang, across the Luohe River, corresponding to the end gate of the south gate of the imperial city in the north, and the Dingdingmen Street of "one hundred steps wide street" in the south, which is the thoroughfare of the north and south of the capital, and there is the weather of the Hanjin Liang in the sky. To the west of Tianjin Bridge is Shendu Garden, and there is Shangyang Palace on the north bank of the Luohe River in the east of the garden. Directly north of the bridge is the imperial city and the palace city, the palace is majestic, and the south of the bridge is the Lifang district.

At this moment, the traffic and horses and pedestrians on and off the bridge are endless, tourists stop to look, idlers swim and entertain, relatives and friends fold willows to say goodbye, and it is extremely prosperous and lively.

Lu Xiaoxian walked up to the bridge, the four-corner pavilions, railings, and watch pillars were close at hand, and the hot wind was blowing, and he heard and looked at the bustling hustle and bustle of Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, and his heart sighed for no reason.

What kind of timeless meaning does the bridge that connects this bank and the other shore and communicate history and reality on the river of time, and the combination of words such as flowing water, Zhouzhu, river bank, and Jindu?

Luoyang, the eastern end of the Silk Road, the famous capital of the Tang Dynasty, the palace is magnificent, the fang market is prosperous, and it has been ruined several times and prosperous several times.

If you ask about the ancient and modern things, please only look at Luoyang City.

Lu Xiaoxian's thoughts stopped on the Tianjin Bridge, and after a moment of turning, he thought of the situation in front of him.

Wu Sansi was ordered to take Chen Xuanli and Sergeant Yulin to escort Li Xian back to the imperial capital, and due to the large number of family members and servants, it would take at least a month for the convoy to reach Luoyang. Bookstore.com

Lu Xiaoxian was too lazy to slowly grind with the team, and rode a fast horse day and night alone, and rushed back to Luoyang in less than ten days. The reason why I rushed back in a hurry was to take advantage of this time difference to arrange the arrangement in advance. Although he was familiar with Tang history, he did not dare to slack off. There had been a situation where the reality of the agreement did not match the historical books, and he realized that the history of the Tang Dynasty recorded by later generations may not be completely believed.

Although Li Xian and his entourage walked slowly, they would eventually come back. Li Xian's return to the imperial capital has added endless variables to the competition of several forces with surging undercurrents, and I am afraid that Luoyang City will set off another bloody storm.

Everything depends on himself, and how to be alone in the political whirlpool of competition between several parties is what Lu Xiaoxian is most concerned about at present.

Zhang Meng and Yin Feng Langyue sisters saw Lu Xiaoxian suddenly stamping forward, their expressions were solemn, as if they were thinking, and they didn't know what was going on.

The three of them looked at each other blankly, not daring to ask, so they could only stand there quietly and look at Lu Xiaoxian.

"Isn't this Lu Gongzi, such a coincidence?" Just as Lu Xiaoxian was pondering, a voice suddenly came into his ears.

Lu Xiaoxian suddenly turned his head, only to see a simple smiling face come into view: it was Wang Hu Feng, the richest man in Luoyang.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled bitterly and shook his head, it's not that the enemies don't get together, this is not wrong at all.

Speaking of which, Lu Xiaoxian and Wang Hufeng did not have any holidays, on the contrary, he admired this person.

There are four levels of Datang scholars, agriculture, industry, and commerce, and the status of merchants is the lowest. Although Luoyang attracted merchants from Dashi, Persia and other countries to come from thousands of miles to do business, and played a key role in promoting the prosperity of the imperial capital, the low status of merchants is unquestionable.

Wang Hufeng not only did his business prosperously and was known as the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, but also made good connections with all parties and stood tall in Luoyang for many years, which could not help but impress Lu Xiaoxian, even if he put himself in Wang Hufeng's position, he might not do better than Wang Hufeng.

The last time I returned to Luoyang from Yingzhou, if it wasn't for Wang Hufeng's initiative to provoke, maybe the two would have become friends. Lu Xiaoxian's slight trick made Wang Hufeng deflated, and he had to retreat.

Since they met here, Lu Xiaoxian planned to reconcile with Wang Hufeng.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Lu Xiaoxian's eyes caught a glimpse of Lai Junchen behind Wang Hufeng, who was standing there with his hands in his hands, looking at himself with a smile.

Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.

Last time, he used Lai Junchen's hand to clean up Wang Hufeng, making Wang Hufeng embarrassed. It stands to reason that these two people are also enemies, why are they hooking up again now?

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiaoxian figured out the joints.

Businessmen pursue profits, and in the eyes of businessmen, there are no eternal enemies or permanent friends, only interests. Wang Hufeng is a pure businessman, and of course he is no exception. Lai Junchen called for wind and rain in Luoyang City, and the power in his hands was exactly what Wang Hufeng needed. Wang Hufeng stammered with Junchen and let Junchen be his backer, which is also reasonable.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly realized that Wang Hufeng and Lai Junchen appeared here at the same time, it was definitely not a chance encounter, there must be something strange in it, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of vigilance in his heart.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't glance at Wang Hufeng, his eyes crossed Wang Hufeng, and greeted Junchen warmly: "Yes!" It's such a coincidence, and Zhongcheng is also here! ”

was the first to say hello, but who knew that the hot face was attached to a cold ass, and was directly ignored by Lu Xiaoxian, which made Wang Hufeng very embarrassed, and his honest face became stiff.

The young man in front of him had a bright smile on his face, and Lai Junchen still had a bright smile on his face, but he felt very angry in his heart.

Over the years, under the grace of Wu Zetian, Lai Junchen can be said to be one of the few prominent figures in Luoyang, although he is not as good as the Zhang brothers, but the imperial heir Li Dan, Princess Taiping, Wu Chenghei, Wu Sansi and others also have to let him score three points. But Lai Junchen was deflated in front of Lu Xiaoxian, and he really couldn't understand what the relationship between Lu Xiaoxian and His Majesty was.

Lai Junchen is ruthless but not stupid, he knows very well in his heart that everything he has is given by His Majesty, and he is nothing without His Majesty's protection.

Lu Xiaoxian won the trust of Wu Zetian, and Lai Junchen knew it. Because of this, although he was very annoyed with Lu Xiaoxian, Lai Junchen also had some scruples. During this time, he had been thinking about how to suppress Lu Xiaoxian to vent his evil anger, and he couldn't annoy Wu Zetian.

Don't say it, it really made Lai Junchen think of a way: let Wang Hufeng come forward and take a break from Lu Xiaoxian's spirit.

Just do it, come to Junchen and send someone to find Wang Hufeng to discuss.

Lai Junchen wanted to use Wang Hufeng to deal with Lu Xiaoxian, and Wang Hufeng couldn't wait to climb up to Junchen's big backer, and the two got their own place and hit it off.

Lu Xiaoxian returned to Luoyang City, and Lai Junchen had already received a tip, and at this moment he and Wang Hufeng appeared here without a trace, and there was a scene of the three of them meeting by chance.
