Chapter 550: Chang'an was shocked to hear of the victory

The dry and cold north wind of the northern grassland has been blowing for a long time, and Chang'an is still shrouded by the continuous autumn rain, the flood has caused the price of rice in Chang'an to soar more than a dozen price limits, last year there was only 18 yuan a bucket, this year you want to change a bucket of rice to spend 120 yuan.

Originally, there was only one thing for Chang'an residents to open the door: what is the price of rice today?

With the news of the Tang Army's fiasco in Youzhou, Chang'an City has another issue. However, this year is an eventful year, and the residents of Chang'an are so tormented by the rice that they are filled with that they can be infinitely magnified in their eyes, and the same is true of the war in Youzhou.

Under the depiction of people with intentions, Ning Yuan and Li Huaitang became the culprits of the annihilation of the elite army of 10,000 cavalry under Guo Yingjie, and 10,000 deaths were not enough to apologize.

The long-standing anger of Chang'an residents suddenly found an outlet, and the spearhead was pointed at Li Huaitang.

Whether it's scolding or blaming, it's too addictive, it's too hot, and you have to continue to fight for the rice grains in tomorrow's rice bowl.

In front of a rice shop in the West Market, it was overcrowded, and the surging crowd banged on the wooden door of the rice shop in annoyance.

The side window of the rice shop was carefully pulled open from the inside, revealing the face of a small man, shouting to the crowd: "Don't shoot, if you want to buy rice, you will line up, otherwise the owner will not dare to open the door!" ”

After a period of panic, a human dragon without a tail finally formed in front of the rice shop.

The line moved slowly, and the people at the back of the line were anxious, and from time to time they raised their heads, and their annoyance quickly turned to nagging and anger.

Minjia: I don't know if I have rice when it's my turn.

Min B: So what? Solve today, not tomorrow.

Min C: What do you mean by that? Isn't the Holy One going to move to Chang'an? When the dignitaries are gone, there will not be so many people grabbing food for us. Besides, the Holy Lord has appointed Jingzhao Yin Pei Yaoqing as the Henan transit envoy and the Jianghuai transit envoy, and the grain for disaster relief will be transferred to Guanzhong one after another, as long as we survive this year, next year's life will be much better.

Min B: What do you know? Youzhou is in an emergency, the imperial court must send reinforcements, the army is not complete, the grain and grass move first, the grain must first meet the military needs, and in the future, the food in Guanzhong is only more scarce.

The words spread, the crowd shouted, then agitated, and rioted.

It just so happened that the rice shop announced that the rice grain was running out and closed its doors to thank customers.

Residents who had not yet bought food were furious.

"It's all Li Huaitang's disaster, we admit the natural disaster, and the man-made disaster is unforgivable."

"That's right! There is a debtor and a debtor, let's settle accounts with the Ningyuan caravan!"

After many days of heat and condemnation, a large amount of violent dry wood has already accumulated in people's minds, and when it encounters sparks, it quickly forms a prairie fire.

The surging crowd rushed to the Ningyuan caravan in the west market, and the looting tide gradually spread from the grain shops to the rest, from the Ningyuan merchants to all the merchants who had anything to do with the Ningyuan caravan, and even to all the Hu merchants, the violence intensified, spreading from the west market to the east market, until the imperial court mobilized thousands of Jinwu guards to station in the two cities to quell the riots.

The riot shook the city like a bomb.

Princess Taiping's old mansion was like a great enemy, and the door was closed and the atmosphere was extremely tense, just because a group of wives of Li Huaitang referred to by Qianfu lived in it. This mansion covering an extremely large area was a reward from Li Longji to Li Huaitang as his favor to respect the Tang Dynasty.

In the spacious living room, more than ten stunning warblers and swallows gathered in it.

"I'm so angry," Anxin Little Witch's angry voice said, "I was going to put food out for disaster relief in the morning, but it was all ruined by these mobs." ”

"Sister, don't make trouble, these days, let's stay in the house and don't go out, and wait for Li Lang to come back." Pei Ruoxi smiled bitterly, if it weren't for the desperate protection of the guards today, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't, come all the way to Chang'an, is it just to think about it behind closed doors?" The little witch was unwilling and protested.

The beauties can come to Chang'an, all thanks to Mrs. Ruoxi. The news of Pei Guangting's death reached Ningyuan City, Pei Xiaoniang cried and fainted, and at the instigation of a group of beauties, the trip was achieved. When they arrived in Chang'an, rumors about their husband's "guilt" were boiling and rampant, which made their hearts tremble. After discussion, the Americans planned to ask all the merchants from Ningyuan to release grain for disaster relief to mitigate the related negative impact, but they did not expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly.

"Yes, the riot has been dispersed by Jin Wuwei, and I don't think it's going to be anything, and there is no curfew. Besides, don't we still have guards? "It's rare for An Luo'er to stand in the same trench as the little witch.

Pei Xiaoniang shook her head and resolutely disagreed, she was cautious in nature, and she was more cautious in handling things since the attack in Hexi.

The little witch pouted and complained unabashedly: "Villain Li Huaitang, why don't you do something good......"

As there are more and more women in the General's Mansion, Su Zizi is gradually developing a "big woman" demeanor, and she is the most intolerant of slandering Ailang.

"The concubine thinks that Li Lang has his own deep meaning, and we don't care what outsiders think, but we must definitely be in the same boat with our husband, otherwise, the family law is ruthless!"

"Home, family law?!" The little witch flashed her big eyes and glared at Su Zizi, she has always been lawless, so she will not be afraid of any family law.

In addition to the little witch who didn't know the inside story, Linglong Shuangshu, Shui Rouer and other beauties all showed extremely strange looks on their faces, as if they were smiling.

Su Zizi realized that she had spoken too quickly and smoothly, and she couldn't help but blush, and snorted in embarrassment.

"Ahem, Li Lang is ridiculous...... Su Zizi had to partially agree with Anxin's little lady's statement, how can family law be connected with boudoir secrets?

"In short, Sister Ruoxi is very right, before Li Lang returns triumphantly, we will wait patiently."

Seeing Su Zizi's support for Pei Xiaoniang, everyone had no choice but to dispel their thoughts. Although they are both the general's wife, all of them are equal, but there is always the first to come, in the minds of the beauties, they all acquiesce to Su Zizi's "eldest woman" status, if there is no Madame Zizi's decision, none of them can come to Chang'an. In order to come to Chang'an, Su Zizi even reluctantly handed over her son to the care of Ye Ji and Liu Meiren who stayed behind, which shows that she is more anxious than anyone else when she visits the ancient capitals of previous dynasties.

The situation was the same as the storm, when the beauties were still worried about their husbands, the Chunguang Gate in the east of Chang'an City, 1800 miles of rapid riding galloped in from the rain curtain.

"Dushan is a great victory! Ning Yuan rode thousands of miles to help, severely damaged the Khitan, beheaded more than 10,000, and captured 9,000! ”

The loud sound of the victory clearly reached the ears of passers-by.

What the? Great victory? Wasn't the Tang Army completely annihilated? Why, how did it become a big victory again? Who's right and who's wrong?

People were incredulous, as if they had fallen into the clouds......
