Chapter 87: To Luoyang Again
The copper coins that came out of Luoyang on the weekend had already been spent, and the silver taels carried in the package were all on Xu Qu's body at this time, resulting in being penniless at present.
There are a lot of big gold ingots from Tang Xuanzong in the temporary space, the so-called wealth is not exposed, in such a troubled autumn, first, there are few people who have enough scattered silver to exchange, and second, once they are taken out for exchange, it is very easy to be targeted by people with ill intentions, which is too unsafe.
After thinking about it, it is most appropriate to ask Chen Xuanli for some silver taels, because there is another wonderful benefit, that is: Chen Xuanli will definitely borrow it in order to please him, and he can't really go back to help the prince refine the pill in the future, so this is simply borrowing and not repaying, and there is no profit!
And Chen Xuanli, who had just finished "self-harming" and was about to leave, never dreamed that he would make such a request on the weekend, and almost vomited a mouthful of blood on the horse.
Obviously, the large amount of gold that Zhou Xian had asked Tang Xuanzong for alchemy before had not been used at all, otherwise, at this time, how could he still have gold to exchange for silver.
Why does Zhou Xian value money so much? Doesn't it mean that cultivators don't care about external things the most?
Chen Xuanli was embarrassed to let the weekend really take out the gold to exchange for money, after all, as expected by the weekend, he still had to ask for the weekend, if he did a good job of refining the Immortal Life Pill for His Royal Highness the Prince, the benefits he could get in the future could be much more than a little gold.
Secretly gritting his teeth, he was reluctant to take out a brand-new money bag from his chest.
This contains the silver that the emperor used to reward, although Chen Xuanli took the general's military salary, but more food, silk and copper coins.
Silver was also a rarity in the Tang Dynasty, and he usually only needed copper coins for trading, and he himself was reluctant to spend it, but now - forget it, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it is, it's better not to want to!
He was ruthless, and as soon as he closed his eyes and threw the money bag directly to the weekend, without saying much, he quickly turned the horse's head and went back in the direction he had been going back - mainly for fear that he would stay any longer and be reluctant to give up.
The weekend was overjoyed, and he didn't care about taking the money bag, so he hurriedly shouted at Chen Xuanli's departing back, "Thank you General Chen!" ”
Then, with a smile, he picked up the money bag from the ground.
This kind of very unkind and unkind wealth for nothing, for some reason, I am very happy to hold it!
It seems that he is not a loyal and kind person in his bones, at most he is just a small caring person.
First of all, the weight is a bit heavy, and when I open it, there are almost ten taels of silver in it, which can definitely cover the expenses of the whole way, Chen Xuanli is really generous enough this time.
Anyway, now that I have enough rest, I should set off again and hurry up to Luoyang, or wait for Chen Xuanli to go back and report, Tang Xuanzong will definitely not be reconciled, and in the remaining three months, he will definitely mobilize all his forces to find himself.
Although the current war is in chaos, and the cities are too guarded to obey the yin and yang, it cannot be ruled out that there are still people who continue to obey the orders of the royal family, and they must rush before Tang Xuanzong's orders are conveyed and Yang Yuhuan can really settle down.
After riding on the horse, he didn't forget to take the armored war horse left by the two cavalrymen killed by Chen Xuanli on the weekend and continued on the road.
For the two cavalrymen killed by Chen Xuanli just now, he deliberately pretended not to see it, mainly because he understood the reason why Chen Xuanli killed people, and at the same time, after seeing dead people for a few days, he had long since lost the feeling of nausea at the beginning, and he was able to subconsciously ignore these cruel killings and tragic deaths.
The journey to Luoyang was smooth, because the most powerful bandit group had been wiped out by him with the Divine Palm last time, which made some rumors terrify the other remaining bandits around.
Moreover, there are occasionally bold bandits haunted places, those bandits are often the most alert, seeing him riding a war horse in the army, with two war horses in the army, obviously in a state of backup, it is estimated that the owners of the other two war horses in the army are strong martial arts, otherwise, how can they catch up with one person and three horses in the weekend on foot?
Therefore, everyone did not dare to come forward to rob at will, for fear of getting into big trouble.
And along the way, there is no inn to close the door to avoid the panic, and there is silver to open the way, and it is natural that he will be regarded as a guest. Later, on the official road from Ma Weiyi to Luoyang, we all knew that there was such an official who rode a big horse in the army and acted generously, so that as soon as he arrived at the place of residence on the weekend, someone greeted him warmly.
Ten days later, in the early morning, the outline of the eastern capital of Luoyang could be faintly seen in front of the weekend.
There are really a lot of people who come and go on the official road during the day, and they all go to Luoyang in the same direction as him.
When he approached the city, he found that the city guards were carefully guarding the entrance and exit of the city gate.
It seems that after Su Yuan left, the original management of the Eastern Capital did not relax, and the management effect could not be concluded from the situation at the city gate alone, at least from the situation at the city gate, it can be seen that the order in the city is still well maintained.
Rest easy on the weekend.
At least in Luoyang, there is no danger for the time being.
However, once Tang Xuanzong's will is issued, the Luoyang administrators who are still supporting the royal family will definitely do their best to find him, so after meeting Yuhuan and Su Yuan, where to go is a matter of immediate discussion.
He jumped off his horse at the long queue and led his horse to the city.
He walked not on the avenue of the city gate, but on the small gate that opened next to the city gate.
An uncle who was originally in front of the weekend, dressed richly and richly, and his clothes were made of fine silk, which may have been a wealthy family from other cities who fled for his life, grabbed the weekend and kindly reminded him, "This son, you are going in the wrong direction, there are only those officials over there, and you must hold a token to go, and people like us, even if they have money, they can only honestly line up." You see, over there are the city guards of my city, and now when they go to the eastern capital, they can't queue up. ”
This uncle thinks that Weekend is a child of a wealthy family in another city, and Weekend is still wearing the gorgeous clothes provided by Tang Xuanzong at that time, and he knows at a glance that he is a person from a rich background, and the reason why he rides a war horse in the army should be because of the relationship and the soldiers who escaped from the army.
Touching his head on the weekend, although he didn't have a token, but the city guards should know him, when Suyuan County was in charge of affairs, but he gave an order, it really didn't work, take out the secret decree, solve any problems, if you want to wait in line to enter the city, the sky is dark, time waits for no one, he looked at the long line of the team, and said to this kind uncle, "Uncle rest assured, I know the measure." ”
Uncle knows people and has rich experience, and he has never missed it, and found that he didn't listen to it at all on the weekend, and he didn't persuade anymore, and continued to line up, but he sighed in his heart, "This kid must have some privileges in the previous city, but now is a special period, this is Luoyang and not your small place, your relationship is useless." ”
