Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty returned to the court, the army was escorted by more than 300,000 people, all the way to the east, the carriage and horses were tired, and the weather was getting colder, just walked for more than ten days, and the heavy snow fell down.

Fortunately, the counties along the way prepared hot dishes and meals early, as well as cotton clothes and thick quilts, so there was no need to freeze to death and die of illness in one night like when they crossed the Qilian Snow Mountain.

On the twentieth day of the march, they had returned to Daxing City in Xijing.

Luo Zhaoyun rode a horse, looked at the majestic city, and after a three-year absence, he finally returned to the Guanlong Plain and landed in Chang'an.

This new Chang'an is also called Daxing City, the local people and the foreign people are not the same, the local people are different from the old Chang'an, often called Daxing, and the people all over the world, do not know the old and new sayings, often call this capital Chang'an City, even the people of the Western Regions are shouting Chang'an, Chang'an, feel extremely excited, because of its reputation, has long been recited by silk merchants far and wide.

Due to the establishment of the eastern capital Luoyang, many wealthy families, wealthy families, and civil and military officials were moved, which weakened the popularity of Daxing City by three or four points, but it was still the largest city in the world, and even the largest city in the world at that time!

The people of Xijing were organized by the officials who stayed behind very early on, and went out of the city to welcome the emperor in person, as well as the envoys of various countries.

The delegations of the twenty-seven countries of the Western Regions, including the lords of the Fanbangs, attached themselves to the Great Sui, and at this time, a major event that had not been seen for hundreds of years, went up to the powerful Han Dynasty, and it was nothing more than that, but the Silk Road was opened, and the lords of the countries of the Western Regions were not obtained, expressing their attachment, worship, and subordination.

Even if it is only a superficial subordination, without any direct management authority, and does not interfere in the internal affairs of the countries of the Western Regions, this kind of honor and achievement of the Quartet is also worthy of being remembered in history.

And Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took a fancy to this kind of false name, he was not happy with each other, and he was burdened by fame.

Luo Zhaoyun didn't care about this, he entered the high-walled and thick city, the majestic Xijing, the wide road, and the neat lane, which gave him a feeling of being lost for a long time.

He entered the court first, and after the court meeting, Luo Zhaoyun rode back to his Luo mansion.

The housekeeper Zhong Ye was very happy when he saw the young master coming back to this courtyard, and ordered the kitchen to prepare rich dishes.

After Luo Zhaoyun exchanged pleasantries with Steward Zhong, he learned several news related to him, one is that Ning Muhe is not in Chang'an for the time being, but is doing business in Luoyang, and the other is that Xiao Yiyi returned to Chang'an from Luoyang a few days ago, and it seems that he has moved out of Miaoyin Pavilion and is no longer the leader there.

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a while, and felt that after dinner, he would go to see Xiao Yiyi first, after all, he had a substantial relationship with him, he hadn't seen him for three years, it was difficult to send wild geese, and he couldn't communicate with letters, and he didn't know what had happened to her in the past three years?

Is he still the same, or is he the confidante?

After lunch, Luo Zhaoyun bathed and changed clothes, changed into casual clothes, went out, along the north and south streets opposite the Qixia Gate, after passing two lanes in the south, he entered Zhaoguofang, which was named after a Zhaoguo Temple.

In this fang, he has a hidden courtyard, with a sign selling cloth and pawns, which is actually a contact point.

The three stewards who were in charge of the intelligence in Chang'an City all came, namely Xia Ying, Zhou Xianmeng, and Wu Xun, who were the three hall masters who Luo Zhaoyun formed Tianchen Pavilion and divided the rudder in Chang'an, to meet this behind-the-scenes master.

The rest of the people didn't know that Luo Zhaoyun was one of the shareholders of the Ning Chamber of Commerce.

"I've seen the owner!"

"In Daxing City, the remaining gate lord clans and the surviving celebrities have all been counted, right?"

Xia Ying, who is in his early thirties, with thick eyebrows and short beard, and powerful martial arts, is the hall master in charge of the action group, and he replied: "It has been counted. ”

Luo Zhaoyun asked: "The deployment of the remaining forces of Southern Chen, Xiao Liang, and Northern Qi in Chang'an has all been detected and their recent actions?" ”

Dressed in a green robe, forty-year-old Wu Xun arched his hand and said: "Back to the east, due to the eastward movement of the Beijing Division, His Majesty now prefers the eastern capital Luoyang, and the rich and noble households and civil and military officials who moved away have led to the deployment of these remaining forces in Daxing. ”

Luo Zhaoyun said: "Very good, but we can't relax, while they are draining manpower and resources, we have to go further, firmly grasp the land of dragons and snakes in Chang'an City, control some underground gangs, such as the Salt Gang, Caoyun, etc., and control the gray forces in Daxing City in our hands, which will be of great use in the future." ”

The three hall masters knew exactly what the great use of the young owner meant, and they didn't need to ask more, as long as they did what they were told.

After Luo Zhaoyun discussed with the three of them again, and asked where the pair of sisters and brothers who were escorted back three months ago were detained?

"Back to the east house, the pair of sisters and brothers were placed in Xiuzhengfang, southeast of Chang'an, close to the suburb of Qujiang Furong Garden, where the population is not large, the forest is lush, there are few households, it is convenient to enter and exit, and it is not eye-catching."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said, "Good students are waiting, but we must keep an eye on them, we can't let them run away, and put the entire workshop into our chassis." ”

"Understood, host."

Winter days are short, afternoon passes quickly, and dusk comes.

The snow is still drifting, Qionghua is everywhere, Luo Zhaoyun held an umbrella, walked on the street, and went straight to Xinghuafang, where Xiao Yiyi was, although she was no longer the leader of Miaoyin Pavilion, but her residence still did not move out of Xinghuafang, probably because she was afraid that she would suddenly move, and she would not find her new home after her sweetheart returned to Beijing.

Luo Zhaoyun's heart was a little hot, and he couldn't wait to meet Yiren, so he rode away, and after half a pillar of incense, he came to Xinghuafang from Zhaoguofang.

It is still very lively here, and it has not been deserted because many merchants and nobles have moved away from the city, after all, those big people in the court are gone, and it will not affect too much Qinglou business, and most of the people who come in and out here are still middle and lower classes, and the real upper class nobles are raising a group of singers in their own courtyards.

Now, because of the arrival of the people from the Western Regions, they patronize the land of fireworks here, so that the business of the Qinglou after dusk has become more prosperous.

Luo Zhaoyun walked through the downtown area and turned into an elegant alley, gradually moving away from the noisy sound.

When he came to an antique building in front of the house, it was Xiao Yiyi's former mansion, and he heard the melodious sound of the piano, coming from the courtyard, compared with the previous courtyard, it was a little deserted, but this set off the master's nobility and pride.
