Chapter 826: Hara City
The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains and the vast sea of clouds.
When a big crescent moon hung in the air, the large army was left to camp outside Hara City, Ye Qing and the three of them led their own army, and they were fortunate to be able to rest in Hara City for a night, but the place where they camped was obviously surrounded by the Liao people, as if they were thieves one by one, no matter where they went, they were met with unfriendly eyes.
Along the way, they had become accustomed to such looks, and when they occasionally passed through small villages, or almost tents, their large army would always get the cold and deeply hostile gaze of the Liao people.
Hala City is not big, two long streets, can basically summarize the entire city, in addition to Ye Qing and others in the city, there is naturally no shortage of business travelers from all over the world to rest here, so Mo Xiaobao, who got Ye Qing's eyes, secretly left the large army, and before a quarter of an hour passed, he was sent back by the Liao.
It is enough to imagine that the Liao people attach great importance to them to the point where they are moving in step with each other, so they can't wait to tie them all up and take care of them in order to be more down-to-earth.
Ye Qing really wanted to try to see if he could find the business trips related to the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce from these business trips, after all, it was false to say that he didn't care about the state of affairs in Lin'an, it was just a helpless move beyond the reach of the whip.
Now, now that he has the opportunity, Ye Qing certainly doesn't want to let it go, can he get more useful news from the business trip here.
Although he also knew that this possibility was relatively small, he still wanted to try the possibility of being lucky.
Since it is a city-state, although there are more defenders here than the common people, the functions that a city should have are quite complete, especially the three biggest hobbies of men: gambling, spirits and women, which are also not lacking here.
Although it can't be compared with the Central Plains or some big cities, the women here and the wine have a wild beauty, even if they exchange their bodies for men's money, they can always be exchanged, which is different from the exotic and bold style of literati visiting Qinglou.
Compared with the spiritual cleanliness of the literati and the love of thin horses, the business travelers who came to Hara City obviously did not have time to have a spiritual love with women, they cared more about the physical and visual stimulation and intuition, and at the same time, they were described by Ye Qing as carnal fast food.
Mo Xiaobao secretly left the sight of the Liao people twice, although the second time was a little longer, but in the same way, he was alone and dressed in armor, and he was vigilantly reported to the official before he could talk to the business traveler, and he was afraid that he was a thief, so Mo Xiaobao returned again in vain.
At this time, the pro-army had already begun to set up camp, and after Temujin, Ye Qing, and Qishilie took off their dusty armor, they naturally wanted to go to the most lively place in Hara City to "visit".
So Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm quickly took off their armor, followed Mu Huali, Borshu and others, and began to tour the wilder Hala City at night with Ye Qing and others.
Men and women were not unseen in the field, and even as they turned to a tavern, they heard the sound of seduction coming from the corner before they could hear the noise in the tavern.
The man they found was nervous, and he was about to continue to hide in the corners with his bare stomach, but the woman in his arms who was holding him didn't care at all about the curious eyes of Ye Qing and the others, and even straightened up his proud chest while catering to the man in his arms, as if he wanted to make an appointment for the next guest quickly.
"Wild and primitive are sometimes a matter of moments." Ye Qing pulled Temujin, who was almost unable to walk, and said.
Although Temujin was following Ye Qing, his eyes were always staring, even in the night, he was still with a towering chest of white flowers, and muttered: "You are not afraid to travel all over the country, even if you go to the Liao country, you still want the princess of the Liao country to ...... for you." ”
Before Temujin finished speaking, Ye Qing quickly covered his mouth, and then looked at the general who was not far away, his eyes were like knives, and at this time, his eyes were like knives, looking at the general of Hara City.
"There is no one to keep this thing in the mouth, and your princess and I really love each other." Ye Qing said with a smile, it doesn't matter if people understand it or not.
Even after entering the tavern, the Liao people still sent people to monitor them, as if they were afraid that one of them would be negligent and let these people under their noses steal their Hara City.
The wine in the tavern was still very strong, including the pungent smell of sweat in the tavern, and with the entry of the Liao soldiers, it only plunged the largest tavern in Hara City into a brief silence, and then after seeing these people like wooden people, the exotic drums and huqin continued to sound in the tavern.
The hearty laughter of shirtless sweat-stained men, the frightened screams of clothed women, or the soothing teasing sounds like silver bells all give the whole tavern an almost erosive picture.
The gamblers on the second floor either lost their goods to others, and had to shake their heads and sigh, and looked at the west with their men reluctantly, and the goods were lost to others, so naturally they couldn't go to the east, so they could only go back and re-prepare the goods.
All kinds of gambling equipment are readily available, but most of the dealers are dressed in charming and wild women, towering into the big breasts of children's heads, sitting down enough to suffocate people's round buttocks, but with the slender and strong waist, as well as a pair of slender legs, it gives people a different kind of blood-boiling temptation.
Temujin didn't know where he had gone, and after Ye Qing inspected the largest tavern in Hara City, he finally found Temujin's tall figure at a table, and a bewitching woman next to him was hugging his neck at the moment, naturally, the hand of the goods would never be idle at this moment.
However, contrary to the harmonious picture, there were several big men who were also big shoulders and round waists standing opposite, who were looking at Temujin fiercely at the moment, and because they were too far away, Ye Qing couldn't hear what they were talking about.
But when he looked at Borshu and Zhong Silkworm not far behind him, put down their respective wine glasses, and slowly approached Temujin's side, Ye Qing could guess no matter how stupid he was, Temujin wanted to go crazy with women, and this thing must be robbing women from others.
glanced back at Mu Huali and Mo Xiaobao behind him, and motioned for the two of them to come over to help, to Ye Qing's surprise, Mo Xiaobao's expression was a little hesitant, but Mu Huali's expression also flashed a trace of hesitation.
But fortunately, without waiting for Ye Qing to speak, Mo Xiaobao patted Mu Huali on the shoulder, and after telling Ye Qing to be careful, he motioned for Mu Huali to go over with him to help Temujin rob the woman.
Ye Qing had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder, in Temujin's life, how many women did he have an affair with, and something like today must have happened a lot, right?
Without anyone else to follow, Ye Qing dangled around this tavern again, and when he saw people dressed in similar costumes to the Central Plains, Ye Qing would nod his head to say hello, and also talked to several people who could speak some tough words, but none of them were the people he was looking for, or business trips related to the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.
Reluctantly accepting that this hope was shattered, he turned his head and saw that Temujin in front of him had already fought with others, and the woman who was in his arms seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, and she did not have the slightest fear at all, and even was held in Temujin's arms, and had the heart to flirt with Temujin.
The Liao soldiers didn't seem to have any reaction to what was happening in front of them, and at first they were a few shirtless men who were worried about the relationship between Temujin and the Liao soldiers, and even after they started to do it, those Liao soldiers were still like wood, but after looking at a few of them, they began to become more and more bold, so the tables, chairs and benches were copied and beckoned to the other party's head.
"Adults don't want to help?" After hearing the voice, he found that Temujin was fighting with others, but he looked at Ye Qing who was smiling in the distance, so he walked over and asked.
"Find a woman yourself, I'll help, it's not appropriate, what if you see me?" Ye Qing said with a smile.
The begging stone spirits laughed together, and then looked up at the window on the second floor, and suddenly said, "My lord, the last general has found something strange, I wonder if you can show it?" ”
"What's that?" Ye Qing followed the gaze of the begging stone martyr and looked at the window on the second floor.
The two of them then came to the window on the second floor, looking at the broken window paper and the unclosed window, the beggar Shilie gods pushed the window open again, pointed to the courtyard across the street and said, "My lord, what do you think it is?" ”
Outside the window, in the courtyard of a street, you can see a horse lamp flickering, there are a few horses in the stable, and next to the other trough, there are a few camels, but next to the camels is a carriage, the goods on the carriage are also blackened, just a broken corner, faintly reflecting a little light.
Looking up reflexively, Ye Qing could only see the roof, and then thinking about the moonlight outside, and then looking at the carriage outside the window that reflected a little light, Ye Qing muttered: "Is it Po Li?" ”
"I guess it should be." The beggar stone martyr said with a slight frown.
Of course, he knew where Po Li came from, and he also knew where the windows of the Yanjing Palace came from when they were replaced with the transparent and very good-looking Po Li, and he also knew that this Po Li was very valuable, but he didn't expect to see Po Li here, which was in the royal tent of Liao Wangcheng, and even a piece was not found.
Ye Qing stared at the corner of the carriage quietly, and from time to time he vaguely saw Na Po Li reflecting the light in the moonlight, and looked at Temujin and the others who had not stopped on the first floor behind him, Ye Qing simply didn't say a word, pushed open the window and looked at the height, and then jumped directly from the window.
When the begging stone lie gods and slaves were about to jump down with them, they heard Ye Qing on the street say, "You don't have to come down, be careful that the Liao people can't find us for a while." ”
After being stunned for a moment, the begging gods and slaves finally stood at the window and nodded silently, and then gently closed the window again, and then walked in the direction of the first floor.
Ye Qing, who jumped from the second floor, went around for most of the circle, and finally found the gate of the courtyard, he didn't think about climbing over the wall to enter the stable in the backyard of others, so he looked at the door and didn't even have a plaque or other things, so he directly stepped forward and knocked on it for a long time, only to hear the sound of Ying He coming from inside.
"Do you understand Song dialect?"
The person who came opened the door and looked at a tall young man, opened his mouth and asked in Song dialect, but he was not in a hurry to answer, but poked his head out and looked at Ye Qing's back and sides first, and then looked at Ye Qing strangely and nodded: "Do you understand, is the guest officer a person?" Merchant or ......? ”
"Find someone." Ye Qing walked directly inside, and the middle-aged man who opened the door did not stop him, closed the door unhurriedly, and followed behind Ye Qing and asked, "Who is the guest officer looking for?" ”
"Are the merchants in the backyard stables available?" Ye Qing pointed in the direction of the backyard and asked.
"This ...... If you can't say it, how about I go over and show you? The middle-aged man said calmly.
Ye Qing's original vigilance was completely relaxed, he was not cowardly, nor did he distrust the begging stone lie gods and slaves, but he knew very well in his heart that the grievances between himself and the begging stone lie gods and slaves, after all, his father and brother were equivalent to dying in his own hands, although the hostility towards himself along the way had completely disappeared, it did not mean that he had no intention of revenge against himself.
So when Ye Qing jumped down, although he had a trace of regret in his heart, he was afraid that he had fallen into the way of the begging stone lie gods and slaves, and it was precisely because of this that he did not let the begging stone lie gods and slaves jump down.
Looking at a room with lights on, the middle-aged man first knocked lightly on the door, and then there was a "country voice" that Ye Qing was very familiar with behind the back door: "Who?" ”
"Yangzhou Twenty-four Bridge." Ye Qing didn't wait for the middle-aged shopkeeper to speak, so he stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
The room fell silent for a moment, but after a while, the door was opened, and a light spread from the door to the door, and there were four merchants dressed in Song costumes sitting in the room, and the door was opened by a person with the characteristic appearance of Xia people.
After Ye Qing turned around and thanked the shopkeeper, he strode into the narrow room, and now with him, there were six people in the room, which suddenly made the already tense space even more crowded.
"You...... Who are you? Which one are you looking for? The Xia people who opened the door looked at Ye Qing, who was casually and easily looking at them, and asked.
"Yours is the Poli next to the backyard stable?" Ye Qing turned around and asked, unexpectedly that these Song merchants in front of him turned out to be a caravan led by a Xia person.
"How do you know?" The Naxia man looked shocked, he remembered that they had hidden those precious Poli capitals very well, and in the stables, there were guards they had paid a lot of money to guard them all night without sleeping.
"Don't worry, I'm just curious." Ye Qing patted the shoulder of the Song man sitting next to him, and motioned for him to move in, leaving himself a space to sit down: "What's more, I didn't go to the stable to find it, but I saw it from the second floor of the tavern next to it." Who are you? Why do you want to sell these precious Poli here, aren't you afraid of being robbed? ”
"Just now, the noble man said that he came from the 24th Bridge in Yangzhou?" Xia Ren looked at Ye Qing, who could vaguely see the majesty of his bearing, although his expression was dusty, and asked cautiously after rolling his eyes.
"Yes, what about you?" Ye Qing asked with a smile, the four Song people next to him were at a loss at this time, they didn't know what the Xia people were talking to Ye Qing, on the bright moon night of the Twenty-Four Bridges, where did the jade people teach, this is a poem that even they know, so the Song people from the Twenty-fourth Bridge in Yangzhou should not be strange, let alone worthy of the Xia people's attention to it.
And the next reaction of the Naxia people was to surprise the four Song people, first to apologize to the four people, and then said: "I have something to discuss with this nobleman, of course, since the nobleman knows that we are selling Poli, so the matter is big, I need to show sincerity, can the four of you ......." ”
After saying this, the four Song people reacted, and hurriedly went to the backyard to see how the goods were and so on, and then disappeared from the room one by one.
"Subordinate Li Ren has often seen Master Wu." Li Renchang saluted and said immediately after the Song people left.
“……。” Ye Qing smiled bitterly, feeling that this guy regarded himself as a martial artist.
