Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, as well as the four palace maids of Banmei and Xunlan, were waved away by Li Hong, and it would be a little inappropriate to take them to other places at this moment.

Several people are not wearing military uniforms, they are all dressed in civilian clothes, and taverns and inns are the most shops on this street, and naturally, this also includes casinos and other entertainment venues.

Camels are the most common mounts here, and some inns have a lot of camels tied to the door, and the goods have naturally been put into the inns.

And in taverns and other places, the music of the Hu people is mixed with the roars of men and beasts, and even a man understands that this kind of place must be the place where there are the most orchids, and naturally it is the place where men like to come the most.

Yuan Shuji watched Li Hong stop at the door of the largest tavern in Yumen Pass, and said to Li Hong nervously: "Dadu Hu, why don't we move forward?" There is a teahouse there that is not bad, it is said that it was opened by merchants in Chang'an, and it sells new tea. ”

Li Hong looked at the nervous Yuan Shuji with a smile and said, "Are you afraid that I will have any accidents here?" Are these people behind me stupid? It doesn't matter, if you go to this kind of place in Chang'an once, I don't know what's going on, I will be known by my mother, and then I will inevitably be beaten, and now I can't run out, don't go in and see, are you worthy of me? ”

Yuan Shuji was a little stunned, because in his world, what Li Hong said was all heavenly things, and it had nothing to do with people like him.

is not the father, the queen, or the princess, in Yuan Shuji's view, these are completely god-like existences.

Moreover, including just now, he directly ordered the military department to distribute a set of cotton clothes to all soldiers in Anxi, Yunzhong, and Liaodong in a very short time. He also ordered the issuance of documents, and all soldiers were required to use them for their own use, and there was a mandatory rule that they were not allowed to give them away.

Yuan Shuji looked at Li Hong, who was full of interest, his eyes were firmly fixed on the largest tavern in Yumen Pass, and he reluctantly gave up his plan to prevent him from entering, and followed him resignedly, and at the same time involuntarily touched his money bag.

Yumen Pass is rich in water and grass, but it does not mean that other items such as wine are fertile, these are all transported from the distant Central Plains, or the Western Regions, and the price is naturally outrageously high, mainly to pit these merchants.

Li Hong, under the protection of Hua Meng, Mangzhong and Lawlessness, just plunged into it, and the tip of his nose immediately came with a pungent smell of sweat and a strong smell of alcohol.

The whole tavern was at the busiest time of the night at this time, and every seat was already full, even if it was an independent half-open box for VIPs, there was very little left.

Hua Meng summoned his fellows and pointed to the best position, whether it was to observe the entire tavern, or to watch the orchid on the high platform twisting her waist and buttocks, it was an excellent viewing position.

Yuan Shuji's face, which had always been expressionless, looked at Hua Meng's hand pointing back and forth, and his heart trembled for a while, everyone knows that the position is good, but just the empty position, one person will have two hundred yuan.

The merchants who come and go every day, and few of them are willing to spend money to sit there. At this moment, Yuan Shuji felt that he would have to hand over a year's worth of money to the tavern tonight.

Just as Hua Meng said yes to the guy, he took out a gold leaf and threw it to the tavern guy to time, but the gold leaf was picked up by a big furry hand in mid-air, and then thrown back to Hua Meng.

A strong man who looked more like a bear than a big white fur coat looked at Hua Meng and shouted, "You guys are late, we have already decided on this position." After saying that, he also took out a gold leaf from his money bag and handed it to the tavern guy who was a little embarrassed.

Li Hong looked at the big man strangely, he was not from the Central Plains when he heard the stiff Chinese, but he didn't bother to pay attention to them, this matter was naturally taken care of by Hua Meng, beckoned to Yuan Shuji, and took the lead to the upstairs position.

Li Hong slowly stepped on the steps, just walked to the position, and was about to sit down, when he saw a young man walking over from the opposite side, and there were also three people standing beside him, and the four of them were dressed in white, just like him, and they were looking at themselves at the same time.

"This position is mine." The young man in white had deep-set eyes, a high nose, and his Arab ancestry was unmistakable.

"First come, first come, it's not your turn yet." Li Hong walked to the middle and stood still.

The young man in white also walked to the main seat at the same time, standing opposite Li Hong, not giving in to each other.

"You're a Tanger?" The young man in white looked into Li Hong's eyes and said.

"Nonsense." Li Hong turned around, slowly sat down on the main seat, and said lightly.

If the expectation is correct, this young man in white should be a person from the powerful Umayyad Kingdom in history, that is, a person who is famous and called the white-clothed Great Food Country by the Tang Dynasty.

"You don't know how to be polite, this location was found first." The young man in white looked at Li Hong, who was a few years younger than him, with a lofty temperament on his body, thinking that he should be a nobleman, so he didn't use his strength, but said lightly.

After Li Hong sat down, he squinted at him, and said with a smile: "Who did you learn strong words from?" See for yourself whose money the tavern guys charge? ”

The young man in white looked at the relaxed Li Hong, turned his head to look at his subordinate who was arguing with Hua Meng, and at this moment he saw that the big man was bending down in pain, his face was flushed red because of the pain, and the tavern guy happened to take Hua Meng's gold leaf and went to prepare the drink.

"Who are you? can know that if you do this, it will make people despise you Datang who doesn't know how to be polite. The young man in white showed a hint of displeasure on his face, and at the same time stretched out his hand to stop the three subordinates behind him from rushing over.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what you're doing here? Who are you? Li Hong didn't care about the cold light in the eyes of the young man in white, and asked lightly.

"I am a Umayyad, that is, the white-clothed eater in your Datang mouth, what am I doing in Datang, I have no obligation to tell you." The young man in white looked at Li Hong's indifferent look, very contemptuous of his expression, and said coldly.

"I know you, Khorezm, Bukhara, and our Samarkand, which now occupy my Tang Dynasty, and yes, Tochar are also occupied by you." Li Hong stared at the young man in white and said lightly.

But there seems to be a fierce coldness on the body, the white-clothed Dashi and the Tang Dynasty, as well as the Tubo, have been the powerful masters of this region of the Western Regions since recent years, but with the weakening of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions region controlled by them has gradually been eroded by the two powers.

Now that the people in white are here, there are no more than two situations, one is to investigate the reality of Datang. The second is to come to Datang to buy items that they don't have.

And after a few decades, the already weakened Tang Dynasty completely lost its advantage in the confrontation with the white-clothed Dashi, after Gao Xianzhi's army was defeated to them, and they captured tens of thousands of Tang people, including many craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, and papermaking was also mastered by the white-clothed Dashi from that time, and thus introduced to the West.

In the face of this biggest enemy in the future, Li Hong naturally will not be polite to them, and now, Khorezm, Tocharian and other places are snatched from the Tang Dynasty by them.

"We are not encroaching upon, it was originally ours, and it was you Datang who occupied our place." When the young man in white heard Li Hong's words, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Li Hong got up slowly, walked to the young man in white, his eyes were also cold, looked at the young man in white and said: "No matter who you are, not only what purpose you came to Datang, but don't worry, from now on, I will not let you take anything from Datang, even if it is a sheep, I will not let you take it away." Also, whether it is Tocharian or Khorezm, as well as the Kangju Governor's Mansion that we once set up in Samarkand, I will take it back together. Now, get out of here. ”

"Just because you Datang are now old, weak, sick and disabled, do you still want to stop our Umayyad iron horse? If it weren't for the fact that there were too many plateaus, we weren't familiar with the terrain, hmph, the entire Western Regions would be ours. The young man in white also said unyieldingly.

"Samarkand is the place of the Yue people, and the Yue people are the people of my Tang Longyou Dao, sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty will take it back. Also, look at your subordinate, who has been lying on the ground for a long time and hasn't moved. Li Hong came face to face with the young man in white, and at the end of his speech, an elusive smile appeared on his face.

The young man in white looked at Li Hong, then at the subordinate who had been unable to get up, paused and said, "My name is Ben. Kassim, one day, I will lead the Umayyad Iron Cavalry to break through your little square city, huh. ”

After finishing speaking, Kassim turned around and took his subordinates, hurriedly walked downstairs, and halfway through, Kassim suddenly stopped and turned back, and said with a smile: "I want to recover your lost territory, but you Datang, you must first calm down your internal strife, and then welcome your Datang army to fight us." ”

"If you still want to return to your Umayyad alive from here, stop talking nonsense, or I won't mind having your men carry a dead man back." Li Hong walked to the railing, slowly raised a middle finger and said.

"You...... Hum. Kasim was almost angered by Li Hong just now, but when he heard Li Hong's words at this moment, he remembered that he was still on other people's territory, and he couldn't be too reckless, otherwise he would definitely be the one who suffered.

Looking at Kassim leaving, Li Hong's brows were furrowed more and more tightly, the form of the Western Regions was far more complicated than he thought, and the white-clothed food had now begun to enter the Central Plains, it seemed that he needed to speed up his pace.

"Where are Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao? Let them come to me as soon as possible. Li Hong sat down in the main seat again, thought for a while and said.
