Chapter 32: Cousin, Always Good?
Liaodong City, which is also the same as Anshi City, belongs to the Goguryeo military town, and it is also the same as Anshi City, because of Chengping over the years, it has gradually developed into a populous city.
However, unlike Anshi City, Liaodong City is located in the northernmost part of Liaodong City due to geographical reasons, and it is surrounded by many tribes in Liaodong, so Liaodong City is more prosperous than Anshi City.
In the huge city, you can see merchants coming and going, among these merchants, there are people from various tribes in Liaodong, Japanese people, Arabs from the sea, Silla people, Buyeyu people, and Tang people from the Tang Dynasty.
Bringing a variety of goods, you will enter this important town of Goguryeo, and make this important town, which was originally full of steel slaughter, prosperous and rich.
Located in the south city of Liaodong City, there is a large area specially opened up by Liaodong City, just like the West Market of Chang'an, where all the merchants are gathered in that place.
In Liaodong City, the Goguryeo people like to call this place the South City, probably this title is still evolved from the east and west cities of the Tang Dynasty, in short, as long as the South City of Liaodong City is mentioned in Goguryeo, no one is unclear.
Because, in this small southern city, a variety of commodities gathered, not only enriching Liaodong City, but also Goguryeo and the surrounding tribes.
As long as you enter the South Market along the gate, you will see that the South Market is full of dazzling goods, and there are all kinds of shops along the street.
These shops include restaurants and jewelry, and there are those who sell spices along the street with blankets on their shoulders, and there are also those who stand in front of their own shops and recommend their own fine wines.
Of course, there are also sisters who open half of the windows and look at the passers-by, throwing flattering eyes, no need to ask, this is the red light district of Liaodong City.
Don't look at the South City here although it is small, but no matter how small the sparrows are, the five organs are complete, the South City here, almost all the businessmen from all over the world, as long as you enter the South City, there is nothing you can't find, as long as you haven't seen it.
Among all the shops in Nanshi, the most high-grade and conspicuous is the Datang store called Fuzi on the edge of Nanshi.
It's just that it's just a store, but it takes up enough of the largest piece of land in Nanshi, even if you stand outside Nanshi, you can see at a glance that the roof of the two-story attic of the Fu brand.
This shop of Fuzi is doing a large amount of sound, and there will be several ships of goods from Datang every month, and finally transported into Fuzihao.
After that, there are many merchants who wait early in the morning, pick up the goods from Fuzihao at one time, and then resell them to other places, such as Pyongyang City, the surrounding tribes, and so on.
The owner of this shop is surnamed Zhu, with a single name and a Fu character, and people who are more familiar with Zhu Fu like to call Zhu Fu Afu, which sounds extremely festive.
However, just like this title, Ah Fu's whole person also seems to be extremely kind, and he has been in Liaodong City for several years, and he has never heard of it, who else has this Ah Fu and has a record of blushing.
Even when trading, Ah Fu also had a smile on his face and told people that this was a large business, and they only accepted three things, gold, silver and the currency of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that Ah Fu, who has always been kind to people and has never blushed, finally darkened his face for the first time when he faced the city gate Lang who was facing the city gate today.
And the reason is also very simple, because Ah Fu needs to do a big thing when he wants to go out of the city, but the city gate lang who is in charge of the city gate still shook his head and refused even though Ah Fu said it.
In fact, this is not because Chengmen Lang is deliberately making things difficult for Ah Fu, but because these days, the army of the Tang Dynasty suddenly appeared in Liaodong, which made the entire Liaodong boiling.
Moreover, with the sudden disappearance of that immortal disciple of the Tang Dynasty in Liaodong, the entire Goguryeo became fully vigilant, and I was afraid that this immortal disciple would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and then create irreparable consequences for them.
Therefore, at present, not to mention Liaodong City, even other cities in Liaodong are all on full alert, in this case, Chengmen Lang naturally can't easily let Ah Fu out.
It was evening, the sun was setting, the soft glow was sprinkled under the city of Liaodong, it was not much time to close the city gate, the people who came in and out of the city gate obviously accelerated the pace, and rushed into the city of Liaodong before the city gate was completely closed.
At this time, on the official road in the distance, there were suddenly several ox carts, squeaking, walking all the way is ringing all the way, and on an ox cart headed by it, a flag was erected high, and the flag was embroidered with a huge blessing character.
Accompanied by these ox carts were more than 20 Silla people with slightly dark skin, and in Liaodong in August, the weather was still a little hot in the evening, so these 20 or so Silla men were bare-chested and showed their strong muscles.
In Liaodong City, when I saw these ox carts, especially the one in front of the ox cart, the Fu character flag erected, I almost didn't need to carefully identify it, and I could see at a glance that these ox carts belonged to the Fu character business in Liaodong City.
Moreover, several city gate langs who were in charge of guarding the city gate also knew that these ox carts, which seemed to have traveled a long way, were actually going to Pyongyang City to deliver goods a few days ago.
This kind of delivery, basically there will be a fortune every month, therefore, seeing a few ox carts coming, a few city gate men who were in charge of guarding the city gate only raised their heads and glanced at it, and then waved their hands and put the ox cart into the city.
In the evening, Nanshi seems to be a little lively, and in the past few days, the soldiers and horses outside the city have come and gone, and the opportunity to go out of the city has decreased, so they have put their excess energy on Nanshi to spend their time.
At this time, in the Fuzi shop on the street of Nanshi, the shopkeeper named Ah Fu sat behind a low table, supporting his head with one hand and pulling the abacus with the other, and he would let out a sigh from time to time.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of an ox cart outside the shop, and when he heard the sound of the ox cart, Ah Fu, who was listless there, pulling the abacus, raised his head all of a sudden, and looked out of the door with a little expectation.
"Shopkeeper, a certain family is back!" Just as Ah Fu looked up, he saw a shirtless, about twenty-year-old Shilla man, with a sincere smile on his face, strode in from the door, and said to Ah Fu, who was a few years shorter.
"Oh!" Ah Fu saw that there was only the new Arlotype in front of him, and he walked into the shop alone, and his expectant eyes just now suddenly became disappointed, and he nodded at the new Arloya man, and snorted perfunctorily.
"Shopkeeper!" Seeing the disappointment on Ah Fu's face, the Silla man didn't think so at all, and continued to smile at Ah Fu honestly: "This time, a certain family came back from Pyongyang, and by the way, the cousin who was in charge of the shopkeeper also came back from outside!" ”
"Cousin?" Ah Fu, who originally lowered his head in disappointment, suddenly heard the words of the Silla man, and immediately raised his head in surprise, frowned slightly, and looked at the Silla man in front of him in confusion.
However, the next moment, as if he had suddenly reacted, Ah Fu suddenly stood up from behind the low table, almost rushed out with a roll, and hurriedly walked to the door, while asking at the new Luo Hanzi, "Where are the people?" ”
"Cousin, have you always been good?" However, Ah Fu's people had not yet come to the door, and at this moment, there was a person outside the door, who suddenly walked in, with a smile on his face, and said to Ah Fu.
The person who came was about to be in his early twenties, also shirtless, with a smile on his face, and looked at Ah Fu in front of him with a hint of cynicism in his eyes.
"Hou... Uncle Cousin! When Ah Fu saw the young man who came in, he almost subconsciously spoke, however, in the end, he was in the mall, and the character who had been crawling for a few years, when he was about to call out, he still closed his mouth, looked at the young man in front of him, and stammered.
"Villain Zhu Fu, meet Master Hou!" A moment later, in an elegant room of the Fuzi shop, Zhu Fu bowed slightly to Zhao Chen, who was sitting at the top, and said respectfully.
And as Zhu Fu said, the young man who just came in was none other than Zhao Chen, who was sitting in a hot air balloon that day and disappeared in Liaodong.
On that day, Zhao Chen used a hot air balloon to bomb Goguryeo Yitong, and then manipulated the hot air balloon and went straight to Pyongyang.
Goguryeo thought that he would go straight to Pyongyang in a hot air balloon, but in fact, this was Zhao Chen's helpless move!
Because, on the day the hot air balloon was launched, the mountains and forests were full of Goguryeo people, and once he chose to land in the mountains and forests, it was natural to see what the consequences would be.
Moreover, the hot air balloon cannot choose to land on the ship, even if it is a giant ship like a treasure ship, with the huge impact of the hot air balloon falling, I am afraid that at the moment of the fall, it will directly smash the deck.
In this case, Zhao Chen's only choice was to stay away from the mountains and forests, avoid the sight of all Goguryeo people, and then choose to descend, and then wait for an opportunity to find a way to leave Goguryeo.
These days, Zhao Chen has actually been around Liaodong City, and he has tried to enter Liaodong City several times, but in the end, when he saw the gate of the city, the strict investigation was like, and he still chose to give up.
Until the end of the day, he suddenly saw the bullock cart of Fuzi coming back from Pyongyang, especially one of the Silla people, with a wooden sign pinned to the waistband of his trousers, and Zhao Chen immediately joined in these ox carts
The wooden sign was made by Hu Lu, and he is considered to be a real person, and it is impossible to have such a wooden sign if he is not a loyal person.
Of course, the wooden plaque that Zhao Chen saw on the Silla people did not belong to the Silla people, but that Ah Fu, who was named Fu, gave his wooden plaque to the Silla people to wear.
And the reason is self-evident! (To be continued.) )
