Liu Feng, Talia, and Mu Ji lined up at the east gate of Tanesha City, waiting to enter the city. A major battle had taken place only a dozen days earlier, which made the defenders of Tanesha very cautious, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate checked very carefully, so the march of the troops was very slow.

As they walked, they watched from afar at the city gate. I saw dozens of defenders searching for luggage one by one, and those with suspicious items were not allowed to enter the city. And those who look fierce and suspicious are also forbidden to enter the city. Liu Feng saw it clearly, and a walking merchant pulled the officials and soldiers guarding the city and stuffed a money bag into the hands of the officials. So the caravan was happily released.

Liu Feng made a color with Dalei, and Dalei understood. I also prepared a money bag to save trouble.

After queuing for an hour, Liu Feng and the others squirmed to the city gate. A black-faced soldier stretched out his hand to stop Liu Feng and the others, and asked:

"What are you doing in the city?"

"Report to the boss, we are vendors, selling some spices and woodware, just begging for food." Muji replied.

"Oh? Which one of you is good? "This guy has a tricky question. Mu Ji was speechless for a while, and he couldn't speak.

The defender choked and drew his knife and shouted: "I'm afraid, you are a spy from the east, do you want to sneak into the city to make trouble?" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Talia hurriedly stepped forward, gave Mu Ji a slap, and then said to the defenders, "We are from Xiangsheng Firm, this is our new guy, the first time to come to Tanesha City, not very smart, please don't blame the boss." ”

Mu Ji was also clever, and hurriedly pretended to be stupid, and the soldiers defending the city saw a group of men and women, and brought this half-grown son, and felt that it was not like a spy, and he no longer doubted it. Darei took the opportunity to pull the man over and handed over the prepared money bag, whispering in his mouth:

"A few adults have worked hard, a little money, and invite the adults to tea. We are a time-honored brand, and it is inevitable that we will be annoyed by coming and going, and please raise your hand and let us into the city, otherwise the shopkeeper will punish us. ”

The leader flipped the money bag, very satisfied, and waved his hand to Liu Feng, "Come in, next." ”

Several people entered the city smoothly, and Thalia was quite familiar with the establishment, so he took a few people around and shuttled back and forth in the city.

There are many houses in the city, and the buildings are high-spirited, with a quaint charm. Especially in the aristocratic area, carved beams and painted buildings, Qionglou Yuyu, obviously, Jianjialuo and Shimiluo are much richer. The slums are no different from any other place, as if the prosperity of the city has nothing to do with them. Liu Feng thought about it, no matter where the people at the bottom are, they are also at the bottom.

Walking down a quiet side street, Thalia pointed to a shop and said, "We're here." ”

Liu Feng and the others looked up, and the store plaque read the words "Xiangsheng Firm". I thought that Talia would say it, but I didn't expect that there really was such a store.

"Talia, are you familiar with this shop? Are we really here to stay? Liu Feng asked.

"Yes, a few of us carry so many things, if we stay in the guest house, I'm afraid it will be too eye-catching. This shop is opened by our old servant, and it is very reliable, you can rest assured. Talia said.

It turned out that when he entered the city gate, Thalia had already planned for several people.

After Liu Feng asked a few people to wait outside, he went in to negotiate, and after a while, an old man with a white beard walked out of the door with Talia. The old man bowed his hand to Liu Feng and said, "I have invited a few distinguished guests, and in the future, I hope that a few of you will not dislike the small shop." ”

After speaking, he left the goods with a few guys and took Liu Feng and a few people to the back hall.

Behind this storefront is a courtyard, and it is not small. Presumably, this old man is quite taken care of by the Thalia family, and his business is doing quite well. After entering the hall, Thalia introduced Liu Feng and the others, "This is Ah Chang, the shopkeeper of Xiangsheng Firm. ”

"Mr. Law takes care of it." Liu Feng hurriedly saluted.

"Your Majesty, don't be polite, don't bother the little old man." After Ah Chang finished speaking, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare tea and dinner and entertain a few people. When Chang and Talia talked about the past, especially the death of King Rongri, they were so moved that they burst into tears.

"Princess Thalia, when your father moved the capital to Qunu City, he was grateful that I had an old mother to take care of and it was inconvenient to move, so he opened this business for me, and it has been more than 20 years now. Over the years, I have missed you very much, and I never thought that your family had suffered such a change.

Before, I also sent my men around to inquire about your whereabouts, and I felt relieved to hear that you were okay. Poor father, queen mother, and a few of your brothers and sisters. The two dog thieves, Alonashun and Akassi, are really heinous crimes, and it is not a pity to die. ”

After Ah Chang finished speaking, he wiped his tears while denouncing the evil deeds of the Akashic brothers.

"When Akashic came to the city of Tanesha, he reconsidered his previous officials and soldiers, and all those who did not want to surrender were put to death. For several days in a row, the corpses were piled up and the blood flowed like a river, which was unbearable. In the months that followed, this fellow went about asking for money, desperately collecting money from the people, and alas, the people of Tanesha lived a very hard life, and everyone missed your father. ”

When Talia heard this, she was saddened, "Alas, I have made you suffer, now that we have killed Akashi, sooner or later we will also take the life of Aronashun, and when there will be no more war in the country of Tanesha, I believe that life will be better and better." ”

Ah Chang finally smiled a little, "Yes, we all heard that Akashic died a few days ago, and the people were very happy, and they were all talking about Princess Thalia and Marshal Tang Zhengxi, saying that everywhere you go, the world is peaceful, the people are rich, and we look forward to you taking Tanesha City as soon as possible." ”

"I guess it won't be long before long, Achang, what is the situation in Tanesha City now? Who is in charge, and who is more powerful? Liu Feng and Talia took the opportunity to ask Ah Chang about the situation in the city.

"We civilians don't know much about the things in the palace. It's just that I heard that a few days ago, the eldest prince Arudo and the third prince Aruti fought against each other and almost started in the city. Presumably, after Akashic died, they were fighting for the throne. ”

"What about the second prince Arutai? Nothing moving? ”

"I listened to the discussion in the market, but it was not necessarily accurate, saying that Arutai has no power, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, happy and leisurely."

"Then who is in charge of the more troops in the city now?"

"Akashic has a lot of generals under him, and he obeys the command of Arudo, and on the side of the third prince Aruti, it is mainly the brothers of the second lady who are in charge of the army, and each side has its own forces, and it is not clear who is strong and who is weak. Xiao Lao'er personally guessed that the generals who supported Arudo could fight habitually, and if they really wanted to fight, they must be more powerful. ”
