Chapter 180: Shocked
Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, according to the current length standard, the city circumference reached an astonishing more than 36 kilometers, and the area of the city was more than 80 square kilometers. There are 108 enclosed alleys in the city, with 14 north-south streets and 11 east-west streets. The Suzaku Street from Mingde Gate to the main gate of the Imperial City is located on the central axis of the city, with a width of more than 150 meters.
The whole Chang'an City is divided into two parts, north and south, south and north. The imperial city is in the north, and on both sides of it are large squares, built-in cross streets, open on all sides, and most of them are inhabited by dignitaries and nobles. Located in the south of the Imperial City, on both sides of Suzaku Street, there are small squares, and there is only the east-west side street, which is the residence of the common people.
The eastern and western cities each occupy two squares of land and are located in the south. The West Market is close to the Jinguang Gate of the West City, and it is mostly the place where the Hu people in the Western Regions concentrate on doing business, and the East Market is close to the Chunming Gate and Xingqing Palace in the east of the city. Both cities are located in the south of the east-west street in front of the Imperial City Gate.
At that time, the city of Chang'an was six or seven times larger than the Roman city of the same period, and the city of Baghdad, which Suleiman later expanded with reference to the city of Chang'an.
Far away, majestic, near, solemn. This is the great Chang'an City.
One day in early summer, outside the Golden Light Gate. A group of dozens of horsemen from the west stared wide-eyed, stunned on horseback, the majestic Chang'an city wall was shattering their previous cognition, in the imagination of the bones, the largest city in the world is at most twice as big as Samarkand.
The great Chang'an City made him ashamed of himself with its broad and vigorous momentum, especially when passing through the secluded city gate passage, a feeling of insignificance arose spontaneously in his heart, not only him, but also Que Yinanru and dozens of guards who traveled with him had such an inferiority complex.
"Even 200,000 people can't take it, right?"
Bone slurred before he woke up from the shock and muttered to himself.
Que Yi shook his head, disapproving, Chang'an is thousands of miles away from the broken industry, no matter how brave the Tuqi Shi people are, they can't beat here, what do you want to do with this boring thing, do you remember the prosperity here?
The dazzling Chang'an City, so that the Tuqi Shi people are even more surprised, Chang'an's bustling and prosperous far beyond their imagination, in this straight and endless avenue, the flow of people is endless. According to passers-by, it is possible to lead all the way to the Chunmyeongmen Gate to the east, and the Imperial City is at the middle of the avenue, where the famous Suzaku Gate is located, facing Suzaku Street, which runs north-south.
Not long after entering the city, I crossed a small castle in the square, and the hustle and bustle of the West Market jumped in front of me.
The transcendent exuberance once again slammed into Gu Si's eyes, triggering his greedy gaze.
"Datang people are so happy!" Gu Si couldn't help but say with envy.
"Why do you say that? It's just a glimpse, and if we're strong enough, we can put it all under your umbrella. ”
Que Yi is as difficult as to provoke Gu Si's ambition, he knows that only substantial interests will stimulate Gu Si's fighting spirit.
Gu Si slurped, and then laughed and said: "What Mr. said is very true, Cheng Mr. Ji Yan, Gu Si will be rich and rich in the future, and he will definitely not treat Mr. ...... badly"
Que Yi Nanru found that the promise of the bone sip suddenly stopped, his mouth was open, his eyes were shining, and the whole person was motionless on horseback, even the war horse under his crotch was standing in place.
Following Gu Si's gaze, Que Yi looked at it as if it were difficult.
"Shhh
A cold suck came out of Que Yinanru's mouth.
What attracted the attention of the bone sip was a beautiful little lady, who was playing with a step on a small shop in the downtown ten steps away, like a little pink in the green bushes, a trace of delicate, so conspicuous, so pleasing to the eye.
The beauty wore a pale green silk dress, which was only tied under the crisp breasts, and the upper body was covered with a garnet red wide-sleeved half-arm, and a thin light red cardigan underneath, with a red belt hanging from the waist. A green silk hair is tied on the top of the head, and a pair of hairpins are inserted. A paper-cut plum blossom is pasted between the eyebrows, and the cheeks are dotted with two points of carmine, which sets off her beautiful face like the finishing touch.
Every move, like a shock. It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind.
It's not just the bones that are lost and depressed, but the people nearby, both men and women, can't help but cast their eyes on this beautiful girl, some admire, some envy, some jealous, and the most primitive one, that is, the kind of bone sip, with ** and reverie.
The fairy-like little lady seemed to feel a lot of strange eyes wandering on her, and shyly put down the step shake in her hand, and whispered to a maid beside her, Lianbu, and wanted to leave.
As the beauty stepped forward, Bone Si stretched out her hand to shout something, and almost fell off the horse.
"It's His Royal Highness Prince Tuqishi, who is sobbing his bones?" Suddenly, the sound of almost overcrowding woke up Gu Si and the others, and everyone turned their heads and looked at each other angrily, which thing that doesn't have long eyes is so uninformed?
A young man wearing a round-necked red-robed official uniform stood in front of Gu Lulu, standing there with a smile and a very bold smile, facing the murderous gaze of dozens of horsemen without the slightest fear. Behind him, there were several attendants.
Gu Si didn't have time or the heart to pay attention to the person in front of him, and his gaze, which was forcibly turned around by the shout, returned to the position of the beauty just now. It's a pity that at that moment, the beautiful woman's shadow disappeared out of thin air. The anxious Gu Si jumped off the horse and walked quickly to where the beauty was just now, looking around trying to find that little bit of light green in the sea of people.
"Little lady, look, that Hu man looks so stupid."
In a nearby glass shop, a laughing female voice came out.
"I think Shui Rou'er is spring-hearted, or how about I let my father marry you? Hu Ren is not bad, maybe he is the legendary hero of the river in the past two days. ”
A voice as crisp as a silver bell echoed the female voice just now. The owner who spoke was the pretty little lady who was looking for her thousands of times in the crowd, and she was teased by her close maid.
"I don't talk to my little lady anymore, I just make fun of Shui Rouer for no reason."
The maid called Shui Rouer is the same size as a pretty little lady, and complains about her little master coquettishly.
The pretty little lady giggled and said, "Okay, don't laugh at Shui Rou'er, isn't it okay to compensate you?" But don't ask me about the big hero in the future. ”
"Necrotic, little lady necrotic." Shui Rou'er stomped her feet in anger.
The two pretty ladies were scolding and laughing, forming a pleasing scenery, but it was cheaper than the two guys in the glass shop. If it were anyone else, these two Hu guys would have chased people away with a straight face. It's rare to see such a beautiful little lady, the two guys unconsciously "slack off", absentmindedly perfunctory to other guests, and a pair of eyes glance at the pretty little lady from time to time.
"Little lady, someone is peeking at you again, I see, let's change places."
Shui Rou'er glared, and put on a vicious expression to block the two sneaky and amorous gazes.
"Oops, miserable! And embroidery did not buy! ”
The pretty little lady suddenly remembered something important and couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's miserable, it's miserable, go buy one. When I wait for my mother, I will see it, and if I am found that I have not completed it, I will be punished. ”
The pretty lady picked up Shui Rou'er and hurriedly walked out of the side door of the glass shop, disappearing from the sight of the two disappointed shopkeepers.
The lost bone sip with infinite melancholy, step by step three turns back reluctantly left the West Market, holding in his hand, is the pretty little lady once admired a step shake, from time to time close to the nose to smell, as if you can still feel the fragrance left by the beauty.
The incomparable disappointment made him vent all his anger on the young man who appeared out of place.
"What do you call a damn bastard? Beat me and knock out all his teeth! ”
Gu Si angrily pointed at the young man and shouted, motioning for the guards to move.
Que Yi was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped Gu Si.
"Don't be impulsive! He's wearing an official uniform! ”
Most of the time, the official uniform is a good talisman, not that it is stronger than the battle armor, and the court behind it is the tiger after the fox.
The threatened young man was not afraid, and stood there vigorously, without showing weakness to the dozens of Trolls who were about to go berserk.
The bone sip that was reminded blushed for a while, and his face turned white, he almost forgot that this was the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, not the hometown of the ten Turkic khans, so he couldn't help his wanton behavior.
Realizing that the embarrassed bone sip simply didn't say anything, he snorted angrily, and looked at Que Yi Nanru. Of course, the old fox understood Gu Si's thoughts, and a natural and flawless smiling face was revealed, he dismounted to meet the young man in the official uniform, and asked, "Dare to ask who Lang Jun is?" What are you looking for for Your Royal Highness the Prince? ”
The young man was not angry, and said without shock: "A certain emperor is only clear, and Honglu has recorded things." On the order of the Shangguan, he came here to greet His Royal Highness Gu Si for many days. Since you recognize your identity, please also show the form, and take His Royal Highness and others to Honglu Station. ”
Although I don't know how many grades there are in Honglu Record Officer, I don't need to ask to know that it must be a petty official who is too low to be elegant. Feeling left out in the cold, Gu Si was even more indignant, while Que Yi Nanru was full of doubts. It is said that it should not be like this, although the Tuqi Shi people have repeatedly offended the border of the Tang Dynasty, but there is no shortage of tribute every year, and the tribute is still very precious and considerable, and the treatment of the envoys is not bad, not to mention that the Tuqi Shi also gave the Tang enough face to save the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu in the river for the Tang Dynasty, and also sent people to publicize the heroic deeds of Gu Si with great fanfare along the way, even if there is no imaginary pomp, it will not be so low-key and bleak.
If something is abnormal, there will be evil!
Stopping the restlessness of the bone sip with his eyes, Que Yi took out the expression stamped with the seal of Sulu Khan, and after carefully verifying that it was correct, the emperor took them to the post station for the envoys of the foreign ministers.
The post station where the envoys were placed was on the west side of the imperial city. For the Tang Dynasty, many vassal states come to pay tribute every year, and many envoys from various countries have been placed in the post station, and Gu Si is just an ordinary member of it, and no one notices their arrival.
