Heavy snow is falling, although the air blowing from Luoshui is full of biting cold, but Luoyang City is full of people coming and going, endless, the strong smell of the year overflows the whole city, across more than ten miles of road, the official road to Luoyang is already people coming and going.

Looking from afar, the imperial capital Luoyang has been in sight, go closer, pedestrians can better appreciate the grandeur and grandeur of the Luoyang city wall, people are under the city, really like moving ants.

A man in his fifties looked through the window of a convoy on the road, and they noticed a lot of people with different skin tones and hair colors walking on the road, wearing Central Plains costumes, which made people feel a little nondescript.

"Family master, Luoyang has arrived!" A tall, powerful old servant shouted loudly, and from his tone, one could feel his excitement.

"Stop!"

"Whoa!"

Without waiting for the carriage to stop, the fifty-year-old man stepped out of the carriage, this person was extremely heroic, with gray hair, a short beard, a calm and calm temperament, and a deep gaze with a wisp of vicissitudes that could not be erased.

He put up a curtain to shield himself from the slightly harsh light of the snow, and he also saw the tall walls entrenched in the snow like a dragon.

"It's back!"

After a while, he let out a long sigh again, he couldn't remember how long he had been away from Luoyang, five or ten years?

Looking at this majestic city, he said with infinite emotion in his heart: "Luoyang is magnificent and majestic, even more than in the past!" Especially in this outer city outline, there is actually a sloping slope, and a large piece of rolling wood can be crushed to death when it is put on it, and the designer of this city wall has a very sinister mind. Brother, how do you say that if the army is in the city, how should it be breached? ”

"Master of the house, you don't want to die?" When the old servant heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "Be careful." ”

The eagle-like gaze looked left and right, and when no one was paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't let the trouble come out of your mouth, otherwise, it will be bad." ”

"Bad things? What can it be bad? The man, who was obviously the master, shook his head and said: "Since the founding of the Great Sui, there has been no order prohibiting speech, and the new law formulated by Emperor Shengwu does not have this article, what are you afraid of?" Do you dare to kill people indiscriminately? ”

"O my master! There are a lot of people in Luoyang who know us! The majestic old servant said speechlessly.

"Hmmm! I understand. This famous family owner looked at the majestic Luoyang City, and said with a melancholy voice: "Over the years, our brothers have traveled all over the world and seen too many human tragedies!" It wasn't until I entered the Sui realm that I felt that these were two worlds, and what I saw along the way, the people lived a rich life, but they did not lose their fierce spirit. The Great Sui officials ruled Qingming, the government and the people were harmonious, and the army and the people were harmonious, which was the place where the Great Sui had just recovered this year, and the people were also full of hope, and the other princes were not as far away as the Great Sui. ”

"The people have been fighting for a long time! Everyone doesn't care who becomes the emperor, they just hope that this damn war will end as soon as possible. The old servant shook his head and sighed.

"Yes! It's time for this damn war to end. The head of the house sighed, and as the convoy entered the Dingding Gate, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the rows of buildings with different styles but integrated into one, just because among the shops as far as his eye could see, people of all colors were shouting loudly.

The head of the house looked ahead curiously, only to see two men who were not strong pushing two carts full of goods into a shop, and some curiously pulled the old servant beside him, and said: "Brother, these two coolies don't seem to be strong, but they can push so many goods, could it be that a strong man buried in the wilderness?" ”

"How do I know, family master, we still have important things to do, don't miss the hour, okay?" The old servant smiled helplessly.

"I'll ask." Ignoring his companion's cries, the head of the house took a few steps forward and chased after the shop.

"Dear guest, what do you need?"

A blue-eyed and curly-haired Hu businessman greeted him with a smile on his face, and his half-baked Chinese made people listen to it very awkwardly.

The head of the family looked at the rows of shelves with a dazzling array of goods, and asked casually, "These are all rare things from the exotic regions of the northwest!" This brother is very different from my Middle-earth people, I don't know where he comes from? ”

"Honorable guest, it must be from the distant Jiangnan, right?"

"How does Brother Tai know that we are from Jiangnan?"

"It's easy! Although the pseudo-Tang and pseudo-Wei have always been enemies of the Great Sui, the people under their rule have actually gone to the border counties of the Great Sui to buy scarce goods over the years, so the people from the pseudo-Tang and pseudo-Wei have become accustomed to those of us who look very different! Won't ask me where I'm from! Before the Great Sui court crossed to the south, because there were anti-thieves such as Wang Shichong, Li Mi, and Dou Jiande in the middle, coupled with their fierce army, it was difficult for Jiangnan merchants to reach the realm of the Great Sui safely, and they were almost cut off from contact with the Great Sui, so the people of Jiangnan did not know that under the rule of the Great Sui, tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of merchants entered the Great Sui through the Silk Road every year. ”

The pair of strange masters and servants gasped, glanced at each other, and asked, "If Jingping is not yet peaceful today, isn't Emperor Shengwu afraid of Hu Shang making trouble?" ”

"Who would dare?"

Hu Shang shook his head and smiled: "In the past, there was no way, some people couldn't survive, so they were forced to be horse thieves, and they would go to block the road and rob!" You can now use legitimate means to obtain money, not only without risk, but also with more money! So you don't have to bleed, you don't have to die, what's so bad about that? ”

"Moreover, not to mention that everyone does not dare to be an enemy of His Majesty the Great Sui War Divine Martial Emperor, even if they succeed once, what benefits can they get? Every year, we buy silk, porcelain, medicine, and tea from the Great Sui to our hometown to sell, and we only need to make one trip back and forth, which is enough for the family to squander for a lifetime. In this way, who wants to risk their lives? Who wants to live with money? ”

"From Luoyang to the Western Regions, there are two thousand miles to say the least, aren't you afraid of being robbed halfway?"

"We are not worried about the safety under the rule of the Great Sui." Boss Hu Shang said eloquently: "There is a certain risk in going out of the realm of the Great Sui, but the Holy Lord has united with the countries of the Western Regions to form a coalition army to protect the trade route!" This army is commanded by the general of the Great Sui, in order to train the combat ability of this army, usually to find the bad luck of horse thieves, and now on the Silk Road, the most dangerous line is the horse thief, who may die at any time. And for us, the real risk is sandstorms, blizzards"

"The Silk Road Alliance?" It seemed to be the first time the master and servant had heard of it.

"Yes, there are 50,000 troops in the Silk Road Alliance, and the soldiers come from all over the world! A few months ago, Murong Fuyun, the khan of Tuyuhun, sent an army to pretend to be horse thieves and attacked dozens of caravans! The great sage Khan sent 30,000 allied troops to kill Tuyuhun, and Murong Fuyun paid the price of blood. Not only were the remnants of Xue Rengao and Xue Renyue attached to Tuyuhun annihilated by the coalition forces, but also the Tianzhu King and tens of thousands of troops directly belonging to Tuyuhun were folded, and Murong Fuyun surrendered, compensated a lot of money, and presented Xue Renyue's head. This is also because the army encountered a snowstorm and was forced to withdraw, otherwise, the country of Tuyuhun would no longer exist. ”

"Murong Fuyun was beaten and crawled again?"

"The Triumphant Division only returned to Luoyang three days ago, and it has been spreading all over the past few days." Hu Shang looked at each other suspiciously, and the ghost cried wolf: "This kind of big thing, you don't even know, my God!" ”

The master and servant escaped from the shop in embarrassment, and it seemed that they had grown so big, and it was the first time that the two of them were despised by a Hu man.

"Brother, for the first time I know I'm so ignorant. Let's go and take a look at the imperial capital under the rule of the sage Khan. With that, the head of the house went to the market with great interest.

The commercial trade in Luoyang City is concentrated in the three markets of the South City, the West City and the North City in the city, of which the North City and the South City are the main distribution centers for international commodities. Luoyang South City is the largest commercial market in the Great Sui, covering an area of as many as two squares, and only one square of the big North Market, selling most of the luxury goods, the city is full of mansions, all kinds of items are dazzling, there are everything, mainly for the princes and nobles, and the West Market is to sell ordinary tea, rice, oil and salt, mainly to daily necessities.

"Alas!" The old servant shook his head, this would cause a big incident sooner or later, and ordered the convoy to go to Yifeng Fang to find a place to stay, and he took a few young people to follow helplessly.

The head of the family seemed to be in a very happy mood, staggering around Luoyang City, taking a look at other people's vegetables in the West Market, and smelling whether the meat was fresh; See silk and satin, jewelry, jade, gold, silver and jade and more in Nanshi.

He relished and enjoyed playing with all kinds of things, and didn't care about the faces of other stall owners at all, as long as he was happy, so that the people behind him kept apologizing to others.

After wandering for more than two hours, I was satisfied with choosing a street shop as a resting point, drinking wine and eating snacks, while watching the crowd of people, occasionally hearing the angry scolding caused by bargaining, and laughing along. Make that dutiful old servant one head and two big.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in front of him, and the surrounding people gave way to the streets on both sides.

At a glance, the faces of the two of them changed greatly!

But seeing an elite division galloping over, a surging aura, not to mention people, that is, the horses pulling the cart next to them were all intimidated by the murderous aura of the other party, and they kept screaming.

"General! As soon as they entered the city, they kept asking questions, and I suspect that they are the spies of the pseudo-Wei! The alien boss stood up breathlessly and pointed at the strange pair of domestic servants.

The master and servant looked at each other in shock, but they didn't expect that Emperor Shengwu Yang Tong's control over Luoyang was so terrifying, they had only been in the city for more than two hours, and they were targeted, and even said that they were targeted as soon as they entered the city, because the leader of the team was the first Hu merchant they exchanged after entering the city.

A heroic general walked out of the team and said coldly, "Who are you waiting for?" Why do you keep listening to Luoyang's virtual reality? ”

The person who came was Shen Guang, the general of the right guard and the Duke of Li Guo, who was in charge of the defense of the whole city when he was in Yecheng before. Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, not only the kings and important ministers of various countries have come to Luoyang, but also some hostile dark forces have taken the opportunity to mix, so Shen Guang, who is familiar with it, has taken office again, these days, he has found a lot of hostile forces, as soon as he heard that someone is very arrogant and open-minded to investigate, he curiously led the troops to come. He wanted to see who this fool really was.

"It's me!" The strangely behaved head of the family stood up and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Li Guogong, long time no see. You okay? ”

When Shen Guang saw the appearance of this bold and unqualified 'secret agent', his face suddenly changed greatly, and he looked at the 'old servant' again, and suddenly stopped his rushing footsteps, he couldn't stop his steps all of a sudden, and fell on the street with a dog to chew.

"Li Guogong, the old people see each other, I know that you are very excited, but you don't have to make this big gift! When did the general of the Great Sui become so spineless? The 'head of the family' looked at Shen Guang with a smile.

"Me!"

Shen Guang, who had just gotten up, his legs were weak one by one, and he knelt down again with a plop!
