In addition to avoiding the turbulent political turmoil in the Shendu City, Li Tong stayed in Chang'an, and he also had to integrate and sort out the people, things and things that he now mastered. There are many people in Shendu City, and they are far less calm than Xijing.

Although there is also a Wu Youyi in Xijing City who is not very friendly, Li Tong doesn't care much about this member of the second echelon of the martial arts. If Wu Youyi really intends to provoke, it will be easier to deal with than the opponents in Shendu City.

After gossiping with each other, Li Tong instructed his family to clean up a little and prepare to enter Chang'an City. He planned to enter the city first with Li Shouli, and after observing the situation in Xijing, he would bring his family members into the city.

In a short time, the servants of the palace were cleaned up. Although Li Shouli feasted until midnight, he was in good spirits, especially when he learned that he was going to enter Xijing today, and he was even more excited to choose a good horse in the stable early in the morning.

Since the Tang family started its business, they have attached great importance to Ma Zheng. During the years of Wude and Zhenguan, there were only a few thousand horses. After decades of development and war dividends from foreign development, Ma Shi is now very strong.

Up to now, the Longyou pastoral supervisor alone has hundreds of thousands of good horses, plus the horse supervisors and the two Beijing stables distributed all over the place, the number of horses is far from being comparable to that in the early Tang Dynasty.

As a result, the price of horses is low, even if it is an ordinary family of poor people, they can raise a few horses without effort, and there are not many prohibitions on private transactions, and the buying and selling are relatively free.

After the basic needs of transportation and carrying force are satisfied, the aesthetic requirements will naturally increase. The Tang people like horses with tall heads and fat bodies and strong manes, relatively speaking, the Longma is the most in line with this aesthetic standard, and the Sai Ma and Shu Horse are only used as ordinary carrying forces.

After substituting aesthetic needs, the difference in the price of horses becomes huge. Ordinary pack horses can be bought on the market even for a few silk or thousands of dollars, but if it is a really good horse in the Western Regions, it is priceless.

If anyone can own a horse with money, it is definitely a symbol of status and financial resources, carefully raised at home every day, riding it out to blow up the street, that kind of pride is simply indescribable.

Li Tong has a famous horse named Pear Blossom Fall, a green horse breed, evenly distributed with Lianqian white flowers throughout the body, strong and strong, running like pear blossoms shaking down, looking at it beautiful.

It's hard to say how much such a horse is worth, anyway, he didn't spend any money, and his father-in-law Tang Xiuzhong gave it to him.

When the horse was pulled out of the stable, the Xunmen disciples who were ready to accompany them to Chang'an City widened their eyes with envy, and some people couldn't help but step forward and wanted to caress the horse's back, the horse's head was suddenly raised, the cry was as clear as thunder, and the forefeet were raised high, so frightened that people retreated again and again, and did not dare to approach rashly.

"Haha, a good rider understands human nature, outside the master, how can others be allowed to play closely! Even I had to play with it myself for months before it allowed me to come close and pet it. ”

Li Shouli looked proud when he saw this, and stepped forward to caress the horse's mane carefully, but he was sprayed with moisture on his face by this horse pear flower, and he was not annoyed, and after wiping his face, he looked at the gentlemen who were envious of him.

When Li Tong came up and instructed his family to put the saddle and other riding equipment up, Li Shouli retreated to the side with a sneering face, and said sourly: "If I have such a good skill, how can I bear to be strangled!" ”

Dugu Qiong also came up and nodded with a submissive face: "Yes, in the old years, my uncle had a leopard money printed skull, which was specially raised in a stable, and there were a few people to take care of him when he came in and out. The horse printing money is far less pure than this pear blossom, but even the money is beautiful. ”

"Where are the horses?"

When Li Shouli heard this, his eyes widened and he asked quickly.

Dugu Qiong didn't look at him angrily: "I'm talking about the old thing from twenty years ago, there are still horse bones at home, is the king interested?" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and then they all talked about some interesting stories about the love of horses in the fashionable people, all of them were born in the noble court of Guan Longxun, and naturally had a different feeling for bows and swords, famous horses, etc.

When their respective mounts were drawn out, it was quite spectacular for a while, with all kinds of dragon shapes, lion shapes, tiger stripes, leopard money, and the like.

Rather eat no meat, not do no horse, riding a horse represents their respective faces, naturally to seek the best within their ability, otherwise there is no face to greet people when they go out. Good horses with good looks are also hyped up by such people.

But when all the horses get together, after all, it is Li Tong's pear blossom that is the most eye-catching, which is unforgettable. Li Tong didn't care much about the quality of the horses, but when he really compared it, he felt a sense of vanity in his heart, and he felt that his father-in-law really had nothing to say.

People have vanity, horses also have arrogance, until they turn over and get on the horse, there is no need to make a move, Li Tong's crotch has jumped out, and the pear blossoms around his body are flying, such as the spring breeze shaking down, it is indeed beautiful.

Seeing this scene, the others couldn't help but be even more envious, but they didn't want to lag too far behind, so they rushed out of their respective sideways, roaring out of the manor, and soon arrived at Chang'an Avenue.

A good horse understands human nature, does not need to be ruthless, only needs to touch the front blade, or Xu or Qi as he likes.

In the past few years in Qianling, Li Tong has also practiced equestrianism, and polo and the like often play idle games, or he may not be called a master, but he will no longer be as nervous as he was at the beginning.

The famous horse galloped like thunder, and the smoke and dust flying on the road slapped on the face, faintly tingling, but it could make people more excited, and I only hoped that the wind resistance could be more violent. Under the strong wind, the robe slapped against the body, and the refreshing feeling far exceeded other passions.

The closer to Xijing, there are more and more pedestrians on the avenue, and there is no shortage of passers-by high-fives and cheers when they see such a healthy horse galloping past.

As the pedestrians gradually became dense, Li Tong did not want to hurt people, the speed of the horse slowed down slightly, and the people behind the peers caught up one after another, and the words were full of envy for this famous horse.

Such a group of riders, each riding a horse, is also particularly eye-catching on the avenue. King Hedong is naturally the focus of this group of people, wearing a sassy and neat riding hunting suit, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, scarves and buns, and his spirit is flying, and there is a kind of transcendent ease.

A group of people rode their horses slowly on the road, and some people stopped to ask who was so beautiful, and their words revealed that they wanted to get acquainted with each other.

Li Tong didn't care about the effect of his bombing of the street, but just raised his eyes to look at Chang'an City, which was already in sight, and there was an indescribable surging in his heart.

The size of Xijing Chang'an City is nearly twice as large as that of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and a group of people are walking on Chengnan Avenue, which is not far from Mingde Gate, and they can't even see the boundary of the long outer Guo city wall when they look left and right.

The avenue outside the city is planted with willows, and it is the turn of spring and summer, and the grass and trees have been lush and green, diluting a sense of solemn oppression brought by the grand city, and there is a vigorous vitality gushing out.

Comparatively speaking, Chang'an City brought a greater sense of impact to Li Tong, not only because of the shock brought by the grand scale, but also because the construction of Chang'an City is more complete than that of Luoyang.

Today's Shendu City does not have a complete outer city wall surrounding, except for a few entrances and exits of the city gates and attached to the Guo, many places are just fences and short walls. Moreover, when Luoyang City was built, more consideration was given to the use of the terrain, which was far less solemn and majestic than the boxy Chang'an City.

Of course, this kind of city layout is also good and bad, if purely in terms of livability, Li Tong still thinks that Luoyang is better, while Xijing seems a little depressed.

There are a lot of people in and out of Mingde Gate, although the atmosphere of the political center of Chang'an City has been greatly reduced, but it is still a well-deserved regional center, not only the people of Guanlong gather here, but also the merchants and pawns from all over the country are also gathered and flocked.

Li Tong and others do not need to line up to enter the city, they have their own side gate to enter, but when they get closer, they see more soldiers with armor and weapons at the city gate, although there is a guide from the captain Xu Jian, but the captain at the city gate still pretends to check the letter, and after a while he waved his hand to let him go.

"There are more than 8,000 guards in Xijing, and the two Beijing households are not enough, and they take Jiannan and other provinces. The households in the Yuanzhou Mansion are simple and polite, or they don't know the king, and they are cautious, not intentionally snubbing the king. ”

When passing through the city gate, Xu Jian stepped forward to explain, but they also knew that this was just self-explanatory. Even if the Xijing garrison takes all the roads, there can never be too many personnel mistakes at the city gate, and there are many people entering and exiting the side gate, but they are the only ones who have been blocked for a long time, which is obviously adding to the blockage.

Li Tong just smiled after hearing this: "The left-behind are diligent and cautious, which is also a good thing." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a noble disciple couldn't help but sneer: "The king didn't see anyone, so he made this statement." Nowadays, the so-called three diligences in Xijing, one diligence in the west, two diligence in two cities, and three diligence in Pingkang. ”

"How?"

After Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be curious, and turned his head to ask.

"There are many treasures in the West Inner Garden, and you can pick and sell them for profit. There are many commercial residences in the two cities, and copper silk can be squeezed. There are many voices in Pingkangfang, which can be teased and entertained. In addition to these three, Xijing Baifang is not in the degree of stay. ”

Hearing this explanation, Li Tong couldn't help but laugh. Wealth, sex, and the great desires of man, and there are less than one out of ten who can be temperate and patient. Wu Youyi has stayed in Xijing for a long time, and he has been summarized in this way, which shows how he works on weekdays.

Speaking of the fame of this Xijing stay-at-home with both wealth and wealth, everyone couldn't help but speak enthusiastically, and after a few cases, it can be seen that there are many grievances on weekdays.

Li Tong and Wu Youyi are not familiar with each other, but they can probably imagine that the villain will will inevitably fail to check, and even his grandmother Wu Zetian is a little carried away after his long-cherished wish is fulfilled, these martial arts sons have suddenly become noble relatives of the country, and the chances of being able to remain calm and restrained in this situation are really not great.

It seems to obstruct the Xijing group to greet him, and when he enters the city, he makes it a little difficult, although they are all small actions, but they can already reveal Wu Youyi's heart that is about to move. It seems that during this period of stay in Xijing, you have to be prepared to deal with the difficulties that will come at any time.
