Since the sun has just risen, Fangu City is lively like a pot of boiling water, the expressions on the faces of the herdsmen who came to Fangu City from various tribes of the grassland to do trading are very happy, and trading in Fangu City is down-to-earth and reassuring, because there is a strict Han general in Fangu City who has formulated strict trading guidelines, simple and effective, summed up in four words.

Fair Dealing.

The herdsmen exchanged their goods and gold, silver and jade for tea, salt and thick and beautiful Shu brocade in the hands of the Great Sui merchants, and each took what he needed.

Generally speaking, by noon, the trade is almost over, and during the period when the city gates are closed before dark, the herdsmen will often quickly flock to their favorite places for recreation, or go to the teahouse to pretend to be a Han Chinese to taste tea and listen to the commentary, or go shirtless to spend money in the casino, or go to the red sleeves to watch the dazzling and beautiful dance.

If you're lucky, you might even see the number one person in the red sleeve trick dancing with a candle wick.

It is said that the prince of a small tribe was shocked when he saw the dancing of the flowing flowers and water sleeves of the wick of the candle, and immediately asked people to carry a large box full of gold, silver and jade to buy the wick of the candle back to his tribe. As a result, people laughed off their big teeth and called it a small dirt bun from a small place.

A box of gold, silver and jade wants to buy everyone...... It's really funny.

Annoyed and angry, the prince of the small tribe immediately ordered his entourage to rob people, and dozens of strong steppe warriors really rushed up to make a rough move, but they were all put to the ground by the lame old man who was beckoned by the red sleeves to guard the door, and that day people found for the first time that the original man should not look right This sentence is right, the old cripple who looks trembling actually used his right hand to break at least three bones of each of the dozens of stout steppe warriors.

And he only punched each person, and it didn't take a minute from start to finish.

The border soldiers who arrived later couldn't help but say that they pulled out all the troublesome steppe people and escorted them to the foot of the Wolf Milk Mountain, and cut off their heads in front of Nirvana City. But everyone knows that the wolf riders on the other side of Nirvana City will never go out to save these herdsmen who have made mistakes. This is an agreement reached between Yang Yi, the Emperor of the Great Sui, and Meng Ge, the Great Han of the Mengyuan Empire, that the herdsmen who entered the city of Fangu would accept the punishment of the Great Sui as long as they made a mistake.

Often at this time, the wolf riders in Nirvana City would come to collect the corpses after the Great Sui border army withdrew. Find a random place on the Wolf Milk Mountain and abandon the corpse and let the wild wolf vultures eat it.

It is said that later the small tribe's Ai Jin made trouble in the Mengyuan royal court, because he was a relative of Meng Ke Khan's wife Hui Xiu Kedun, but it was useless for Meng Ke Khan to speak, Hui Xiu Kedun directly asked the Golden Horde guards to pull the troublesome Ai Jin out and whip a hundred whips, and the seriously injured unlucky Ai Jin encountered a horse thief on the way home, and finally died without a body.

Of course, everyone knows what the horse thief is all about.

Hui Xiu Kedun would not allow anyone to ruin her reputation, she knew what Möngke Khan hated most.

According to common sense, when the sun is already close to the south, the herdsmen have already gone to have fun. But today is obviously different, there are still many Han Chinese traders and grassland herdsmen around the market, and I can't help but shudder when I look at the shocking scene.

horse

Someone actually ran to Fangu City to sell horses!

Since the signing of the agreement between His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui and the Great Khan of Möngke Khan, the transaction between the two sides has indeed been very prosperous. But there are two things that are absolutely forbidden, and if discovered, the trader or herdsman will be immediately put to death.

The Han people of the Central Plains were absolutely not allowed to sell iron tools to the steppe people.

The steppe people are absolutely not allowed to sell horses, especially war horses, to the Central Plains.

Of course, as the trade between the two sides became longer and longer, the border troops who enforced the law in Fangu City would often turn a blind eye, such as the Central Plains merchants selling inferior iron pots and other things to the grassland people, and the grassland people selling thin horses that could only pull carts to the Han people, such transactions would not be punished in secret.

But today is clearly different.

The vendor in a dirty leather robe was selling more than five hundred horses, and they were horses that could fully equip the army!

And the reason why the border army that enforced the law did not arrest this person was because this person's identity was somewhat special.

He is not a pure herdsman of the Mengyuan Empire, he is a native of Northern Liao.

Northern Liao is not even a country, it is a large semi-nomadic tribe next to the steppe and home to 100,000 mountains. The population is less than one percent of the Mongol Yuan Empire, and it does not border the Great Sui, separated by a large grassland belonging to the Mongol Yuan Empire. However, the people of Northern Liao are extremely fierce and good at fighting, and live in the extremely cold land of white mountains and black waters all year round, so that their characters are also tough and resolute. Although they did not have many warriors, even the wolf riders were not willing to provoke them easily.

Northern Liao was a vassal state of the Mongol and Yuan Empires.

There was no direct trade between Northern Liao and the Great Sui.

That's the trickiest part.

The envoys of the Northern Liao went to Chang'an, the capital of the Great Sui, several times to meet the Emperor of the Great Sui and expressed their willingness to submit to the Great Sui. But the emperor didn't see him once, but just let the people of the Ministry of Rites receive him well, and when the Northern Liao envoys left, they often received very rich rewards. The attitude towards Northern Liao has always been unclear to the imperial court.

So Li Xiaozong had a headache.

If this matter is not handled well, it may lead to a dispute.

Standing on the second floor of the office of the bazaar, Li Xiaozong waved his hand a little angrily and said: "Clean out all the onlookers, whether they are Han or herdsmen, don't stay...... Closed! And also...... Send someone to find Fang Jie, be quick! ”

Red Sleeve Building

Red sleeve moves

No one knows why such an outstanding song and dance troupe as Red Sleeves chose to settle in the small city of Fangu, and no one will doubt that a song and dance troupe with such strength can quickly gain a foothold even if it goes to Chang'an, and it may not be impossible to become the leader of the song and dance industry in Chang'an City.

Fan Gucheng is too small, too remote. Even if you plant a sycamore branch, how can it attract a golden phoenix?

For Fan Gucheng, the red sleeve move is indeed a golden phoenix.

Although he has been settled in Fangu City for a year and a half, the origin of the red sleeves is still mysterious. No one knows where they came from, or why they live in this remote and cold place.

Although there is a red-sleeved building here, there is no doubt that no matter how luxurious this building is, it is not worthy of this group of fairy-like women, and even Li Xiaozong, the general of the border city, is still puzzled, what kind of stupidity did the boss of the red-sleeved move really live and not leave. And the most curious thing is who set the rule that the red sleeves only perform singing and dancing and do not accept guests.

On the second floor of the Red Sleeve Building, facing the stage, there is a private room that is kept forever. Whether this person comes or not, this private room will never let anyone else in. Even the family members of the red-sleeved move will not easily enter this private room, even if the owner of the red-sleeved building is ...... No, it doesn't.

The building was unroofed, and his name was written on the title deed.

But he didn't have the right or strength to walk into the private room facing the stage, not only him, but also Fan Guchengya's general Li Xiaozong didn't have the right and strength to enter this private room. Once Li Xiaozong tried to enter, but he found that no matter how he walked, he couldn't get around the old cripple.

Fang Xie has always been curious about who this private room is for.

But even the little girl who had the best relationship with him, Xiao Dingdian, refused to tell him, saying that this was everyone's strict order. There are two people in the red sleeve move, one is the head of the red sleeve move, and the other is naturally the candle wick that will jump the flower water sleeve. Xi Candle Core is not the daughter of Aunt Xi, but her surname is Xi.

Fang Jie, who had nothing to do and watched the singing and dancing in the red sleeves, couldn't help but look back at the private room on the second floor, shook his head and asked Xiao Dingdian, who was sitting next to him who was eating melon seeds: "I really don't want to reveal something?" ”

Xiao Ding Dian is indeed a little Ding Dian , but he is twelve or thirteen years old. The lips are red and the teeth are white, marking a beautiful embryo. Although it is small, it is already beautiful. It is said that he is learning dance skills with the candle wick, and it is very likely that he will become the next pillar of the Red Sleeve move in the future.

She is Aunt Xi's personal maid, of course, her identity is far above a maid.

The girls in the whole building will also speak politely to Xiao Dingdian. Don't say anything else, just say that their dividends every month are sent out by Xiao Ding's hand. From this point of view alone, Xiao Dingdian's status in the red sleeve move is self-evident.

The little girl wore a goose yellow velvet skirt, which looked very cute.

She shook her head while knocking on the melon seeds, and said very solemnly: "Didn't I tell you, the last thing you can say in this building is this matter." If Aunt Xi knew that I was talking nonsense, it would definitely break my ass. ”

"You can raise your ass if it's rotten, but you can't suppress curiosity."

Xiao Ding glanced at him and said, "Why are you so ruthless?" You're only interested in your own curiosity and ignore my ass? ”

After saying this, she instantly realized something, and then blushed.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Dingdian suddenly leaned over and lowered his voice and asked, "Fang Juexiao, you just run into this building if you have nothing to do, do you have a crush on which girl?" ”

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to smile profoundly.

"Tell me, which one? I see that you are not bad, every time you come, you bring me delicious food, and it is not impossible for me to help you pull a line or something...... If it really happens, no matter which girl follows you, it won't be too much of a loss, but you are also a rich man. And the person is not bad, like a dedicated person. ”

Fang Xie was deeply shocked: "Are you pulling the skin......

"I don't take any money from you"

Xiao Ding nodded and said seriously.

"Alas......"

Fang Xie sighed: "The fortresses are really breached inside, what if I want to say that I have a crush on you?" ”

Xiao Ding was shocked, pointed at Fang Jie's nose with a cold face and scolded: "Shameless!" ”

Fang Xie snorted and laughed: "What kind of thoughts are you, I can pick other girls at will, can't I choose you?" If Aunt Xi knows about this, she will also beat your ass. ”

"You...... Don't say it's okay to go out? ”

Xiao Ding's momentum suddenly weakened.

"Okay, then tell me, who is that private room for?"

"Nope"

"I'm going to see Aunt Xi now, and I'll say you're pimped!"

"Don't ......"

"To say or not to say?"

"Yes...... Be...... Yes! ”

Xiao Dingdian suddenly screamed, as if he had suddenly been touched on the buttocks. Of course, no one dared to touch her ass in the red sleeves, she was really scared. Fang Xie looked back a little puzzled, wanting to see what scared this nervous little girl like this.

"Yes...... It's him."

Xiao Dingdian looked at the door with a trembling body, his face full of incredulity: "It's really here...... It's really here! ”

There was a man standing in the doorway

A man who will never be forgotten by Fang Xie at a glance.

He wore a washed and somewhat whitish green robe, and his long hair was tied back haphazardly. The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are like the sun and the moon, they look very refreshing and clean, their faces are calm, and their eyes are indifferent. This is the type that can instantly charm a group of little girls, about thirty years old, revealing a mature charm. Although he is not the kind of man who is extremely handsome, although he is not the kind of man who is extremely strong.

Some are bookish, some are uninhibited.

But looking at his outfit that doesn't look like a rich man, what makes Fang Xie sure of this is ...... The man came in empty-handed and didn't bring anything.

Into the red sleeve move, which man will come empty-handed? If you don't carry a package of silver, you won't have the face to enter the door of the red sleeve move!

Of course, Fang Xie often comes to drink tea as a landlord.

As if feeling Fang Jie's gaze, the middle-aged man who looked ordinary but felt handsome also slowly moved his gaze. glanced at Fang Xie lightly, suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, couldn't help but look at it again, and then sighed very lightly.

"What a domineering method!"
