The two took advantage of the fact that it was still early, and Han Xiaofeng explained the affairs to Sun Chao and ran all the way to Chang'an City with Wang Yuan.

On the way, the two chatted and learned that this Qin Yu character Huaiyu is the son of the Tang Dynasty Yiguogong, the god of war Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, the second generation of officials who are in the Eight Classics, and the queen of the famous family. But his military exploits have indeed been earned, and he has not relied on the remnants of his ancestors to climb up, and he is also the No. 1 fierce general in the army, which is quite respected.

Chang'an is still so prosperous and lively, but now that the autumn wind is raging, the girls and ladies on the street are wrapped like zongzi, which makes Han Xiaofeng's mood to go shopping and visit is gone. Of course, Wang Yuan is not much better, and he finally let the wind out for a day, but he can't just run out on the street.

Wang Yuan said, "Brother Han, today I will be the east, and I will take you to taste the banquet of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, which is comparable to the imperial dining room of the palace." ”

"The Dragon King Banquet of the East China Sea? The name sounds domineering. Han Xiaofeng said with a smile. In fact, I slandered in my heart, you can't be the turtle king eight and the snake. I remember when I used to go to college, I went to eat seafood with a few classmates, and there was a dish called dragon king gall, the sea urchin bowl on the picture was big, the color, flavor and flavor were delicious and attractive, and it made people have an appetite and saliva when they looked at it. But when the dish came up, I found that it was not as big as a baby's fist, not only was it not fresh, but it also had a fishy smell, which made everyone angry. However, I still believe that there should be no advertisements here where the pictures are for reference only and only the actual product prevails.

Wang Yuan took Han Xiaofeng around a few streets and came to the entrance of the West Market, where Wang Yuan took the initiative to introduce Han Xiaofeng to the origin of the West Market.

This West Market is one of the most lively markets in Chang'an, and then there is the East Market, but the East Market is mainly inhabited by some dignitaries, and naturally sells some antique jade silk and satin, which is not affordable for ordinary people. And this West Market is different, there are all kinds of strange things, and there are many Turkic and Tibetan states doing business here. Han Xiaofeng had to sigh, this is the Tang Dynasty, this is the same status as modern New York, the real center of the world.

Horses and other livestock are forbidden to enter the West City, but there is a special place to foster horses at the entrance of the city, and the price is fair for five cents an hour.

When I entered the West Market, I really realized what it means to be the center of the world, and there are many foreigners selling their own specialties here. There were Japanese in kimonos, Russians with mink and blue eyes, Indians with black carbon, and countless other Tang vassal countries, all of whom were haggling with customers in broken Chinese.

Han Xiaofeng asked, "Brother Wang, so many foreign states are pouring into Chang'an, aren't you afraid of enemy spies?" ”

Wang Yuan replied, "Brother Han doesn't know, these people want to enter my Chang'an to do business, they need to have my Tang Dynasty to clear the customs of Wendie, to put it mildly, the ancestral tomb of his ancestors of the eighteenth generation is clearer than himself." ”

It took the two of them half an hour to make their way through the crowded West Market to the destination of their trip, the Dragon King's Palace.

The restaurant is seven stories high, with red tiles and red walls, and it looks like coral, but it should be named after the Dragon King's Palace. As soon as the two of them entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted: "Two guest officers, please come in." ”

Walking around the lobby with a big belly, the middle-aged shopkeeper saw Wang Yuan, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "It's General Wang, it's really a rare guest, what do you want to eat today?" ”

Wang Yuan said, "Shopkeeper Tong, today is still the same, a dragon king banquet, a few side dishes, and two pots of good wine." ”

The shopkeeper smiled like Maitreya Buddha and said, "Okay, General Wang, please go above, it's still the glazed palace on the fifth floor, I'll go to the back kitchen to arrange it for you." ”

The decoration of the lower floor is ordinary, which is in line with mass consumption. But this is different on the fifth floor, carving dragons and phoenixes everywhere, just this elegant glass palace, bowls, chopsticks and lamps are decorated with glass everywhere, showing luxury.

Han Xiaofeng said with a smile, "General Wang is really tasteful, the decoration here is luxurious, and General Wang's temperament really complements each other." "Looking at this posture, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out if I don't eat a hundred and eighty silver, but this eater has a soft mouth and short hands, and people have to give a few sycophants after spending money, which makes it refreshing.

Before the meal arrived, Han Xiaofeng sat by the window and drank tea, not to mention, the location of the Liuli Palace is really good, and you can see almost the entire West Market.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. It's not easy for these businessmen to do business, isn't it just for profit to come to Chang'an across thousands of miles, Han Xiaofeng suddenly laughed at himself, I didn't just cross thousands of miles, I crossed the Tang Dynasty for more than 1,400 years.

Just when Han Xiaofeng lowered his head, he suddenly saw an acquaintance, Hou Jingxuan, the young master of the Longchang Dart Bureau, who had not seen him for a long time and almost didn't recognize it. But what was he doing in the Turkic shop? It is impossible to buy things, and with his identity, he will not have to run in person, before in Tai'an, Jing Xuan sent someone to go undercover at the dock and participated in the gunpowder incident, Han Xiaofeng guessed that there must be something strange in this.

Han Xiaofeng saw Wang Yuan walking towards him, and asked, "General Wang, do you know this Tang Longchang Dart Bureau?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile, "This naturally knows, the Longchang dart bureau can be regarded as one of the best dart games in the Tang Dynasty, the dart bureau is all over the country, as long as they protect the dart, to ensure that it can be safely delivered to the owner of the goods, the reputation is excellent, and it has never missed." Their old boss Hou Wantao is also a master of the top one in the rivers and lakes, once relied on a gold-ringed dragon knife to beat half of the Tang Dynasty and did not dare to squeak, and now I heard that he is going to take the throne at the birthday banquet of his seventieth birthday, and has since retired to the rivers and lakes. ”

Wang Yuan suddenly asked, "Why is Brother Han so curious about the Longchang Dart Game?" ”

"Tai'an just has a dart bureau semicolon, a friend of mine has been making a dart head in it for more than ten years, I don't come to Chang'an, he asked me to do a little bit for the steward here, to see if there is a chance to come to Chang'an to get the chivalrous spirit of the old master." Han Xiaofeng said calmly. I really admire myself more and more, now I don't have to make drafts when I lie, my face is not red and my heart is not beating, and I am making rapid progress.

Wang Yuan did not doubt it, and said with a smile, "Hehehe, this Jianghu and officialdom can't escape personal sophistication." ”

Han Xiaofeng took a sip of tea and said, "This old master was a hero back then, so this dart game is so powerful, it must have a semicolon in these wild places of the Turks." ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of this, but this Longchang dart game suddenly rose ten years ago, and it has developed rapidly in recent years. It was only a few years ago that I heard that there were Turkic runners, of course, only they dared to go there, those barbarians would not talk about any morality, and the goods were robbed and could not even find a place to talk about it. ”

Han Xiaofeng said curiously: "This Western Regions Protector doesn't care?" ”

Wang Yuan looked at Han Xiaofeng like an idiot and said with a smile, "Brother Han doesn't know, this Western Regions Protectorate is nominally in charge of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, but there are 36 tribes in the Western Regions, such as Turkic, Tubo, Hui, and Khitan, with a larger area, a radius of three million miles, and even more tribes, how do you say this is found?" ”

Han Xiaofeng said, "General Wang is right, it is indeed as difficult as climbing to the sky. This shows even more that the Longchang Dart Bureau and the Turks, and even the Western Regions are tired.

At this moment, the meal came, and Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Come on, come on, Brother Han is drinking and drinking." ”

Looking at the Dragon King Banquet of the East China Sea on the table, I couldn't laugh or cry, the so-called Dragon King Banquet is just some scallop abalone, and some soup made with Jiwei shrimp and sea fish, but Chang'an and the East China Sea are separated by thousands of miles, which can be regarded as a veritable delicacies of the mountains and seas, and it is good to be able to eat them.

Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said, "Hehe, this general, try our signature dish, the Dragon King Banquet of the East China Sea, whether it suits your appetite." ”

Han Xiaofeng tasted it, nodded and said, "Mmmmmmmm It's pretty good. The fish and shrimp do not have the fishy smell of seafood at all, and the taste is delicious, which is worthy of being comparable to the delicacy of the imperial dining room. ”

"If the two generals like it, then I won't bother, the two of you use it slowly, and say goodbye." Shopkeeper Tong said with a smile, Shopkeeper Tong did not forget to close the door of the private room when he went out.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the two of them had eaten almost enough, and Wang Yuan proposed to go around Fireworks Alley to relieve fatigue. Although Han Xiaofeng has just arrived in Chang'an, this name is too straightforward, and fools know what place it is.

immediately refused, "Brother Wang has broken the bill today, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you, how about the younger brother invite you another day?" ”

Wang Yuan didn't force it, and said, "Hey, they're all brothers, it's polite to say that." If you have something to do, you can get busy first, then I'll go first. ”

Han Xiaofeng is worried about the little guys at home, and he is always relieved that no one takes care of them.
