Chapter 135: The Thief's Cave

At that moment, the two of them ordered Prince Ye Hu to be temporarily detained in the post house, and then entered Fanyang City.

Fanyang is located in the north of Hebei Province, the land of Youyan, the terrain is flat and open.

The city wall made of bluestone is about ten meters high.

At the head of the city stood the guards patrolling the city, all of them majestic and very magnificent.

Chen Wenzhou thought to himself: Maybe in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, the land of Youyan is still a wild place. But these self-proclaimed civilized and orthodox Central Plains people, if they go to Fanyang to see it in person, they may understand why An Lushan can fight to Tongguan City so quickly after raising troops?

A group of old masters who take faith and righteousness as their armor and etiquette and righteousness as their backbone, shouting all day long about verbal criticism and writing, to use benevolence, wisdom, propriety, righteousness and faith to resist foreign humiliation, and to use saliva and words to pile up a heavenly kingdom!

But when they met Yuyang's sudden cavalry, they changed from a turtle grandson to a group of turtle grandchildren, and the powerful kung fu of the mouth cannon couldn't resist the blade and iron hooves after all!

On the battlefield, you have to talk with real knives and guns, fight for economic heritage, and fight for soldiers, horses, grain and grass!

A group of old masters above the court looked down on these Youyan barbarians all day long, but in the end, they weren't beaten by others!

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the style of Fanyang City alone that there is a momentum of upward movement!

It's not like the Central Plains, where the warblers sing and dance all day long, and the lights are bright! In the midst of prosperity, there is a sense of decay, but under the appearance of prosperity, there is an eternal disaster!

On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops.

In the open spaces on both sides of the street, there are also many small vendors with large umbrellas. The street runs east and west to the quiet suburbs just outside the city.

There are many pedestrians on the streets, some carrying burdens and hurrying to the road, some carrying carts to deliver goods, and some driving donkeys to pull wagons. There are those who stop to enjoy the scenery along the river.

With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are lined up one after another, and there are tea houses, wine shops, hotels, butcher shops, temples, public halls, and so on.

The two rode their horses all the way, and walked for another quarter of an hour or two before they came to the inner city of Fanyang, that is, An Lushan's lair.

As soon as the two of them reached the inner city gate, a group of soldiers stopped them.

The appearance of the leader is really not flattering, in today's terms, it is more vague, and there is a faint ruffian on his body.

But it seemed that this person could recognize Cai Xide, and asked, "Yo, isn't this General Cai?" Why didn't you follow General Gao and General He out to make meritorious contributions and kill all sides, but returned to Fanyang! ”

Cai Xide arched his hand slightly towards the man, and then said: "How can we who are outgoing compare to your king, look at your little days, you are really chic and free." I have something to deal with when I go back to Fanyang, what's the matter? How many more did you win last night? ”

The king commander smiled and said a little smugly: "Brother, my luck has been okay for the past two days, and I won some wine money."

Cai Xide said with a smile: "That brother, I can't run away from this meal, Commander Wang, you have to watch it!" Brother, the wine worms in my stomach are almost starving to death, just waiting for your wine to moisten me! ”

Commander Wang arched his hand and said, "It's rare that you General Cai came back once, and you spoke?" What more can I say, brother? When the time comes, you will be willing to appreciate the light! ”

After saying that, the two laughed out loud.

Because they were old acquaintances, Commander Wang did not check the identities of the two.

Although Chen Wenzhou was a stranger, Commander Wang only glanced at Chen Wenzhou a few times, and saw that he was poorly dressed, his appearance was not good, and he was a young man, so he also looked down on him a little.

This kind of small shrimp role, but Wang didn't bother to ask.

Cai Xide and Commander Wang exchanged a few more polite words and said goodbye to each other.

The two of them entered the inner city at this time, and then Chen Wenzhou asked Cai Xide beside him, "General Cai, who was that person just now?" I see you're kind to him. ”

Cai Xide smiled: "Oh, this person's name is Wang Wu. He is a commander of the Qianniu Guard, who is specifically responsible for patrolling the inner city, and he is probably on duty today. ”

Chen Wenzhou was a little surprised, Qianniu Wei was ready, to put it bluntly, he was the inner guard.

He didn't see that Wang Wu, who was full of ruffianism, turned out to be the commander of Qianniu Guard

So he smiled: "I thought I was not good-looking, but I didn't expect this person to have to add a new word!"

Cai Xide laughed when he heard this, and then said: "This Wang Wu is quite righteous, and he is very diligent in his work, but he is a little good at gambling and likes to prostitute women, so he is in his forties, and he is still a small leader!"

Chen Wenzhou smiled, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "General Cai, then do you know who is responsible for the patrol of the inner city?"

"Huh?" Cai Xide frowned and recalled, then shook his head and said: "I have been away from Fanyang for a long time, I only remember that it was Yin Ziqi, the general of Qianniuwei, who was in charge in the past, and then Yin Ziqi led the troops to Taiyuan, but now, I don't know who is in charge!"

"Oh, I see," Chen Wenzhou said with a little disappointment.

The two walked for a while, and Cai Xide pointed to a row of magnificent palaces from a distance and said, "Mr. Chen, please look, this is the imperial palace in the northern capital."

Chen Wen looked shocked when he looked at it on Monday, and only nodded and sighed lightly for a long time: "What a Northern Capital Palace, really magnificent!"

He took a cursory look, Lao An's palace covers an area of about tens of thousands of square meters, there are about dozens of palaces, all of them are wooden structures, and the palace is a blue and white stone base.

Tall roofs, yellow glazed tiles. It is painted with the totems of strange beasts, such as gluttony, chaos, prison cows, pujiao, etc., and it is very majestic to show teeth and claws! and decorated with resplendent colors.

The palaces are arranged along the central axis from north to south and spread out to both sides, straight from north to south, symmetrical from left to right.

Directly south of the complex. There are drum towers and bell towers, which are very spectacular.

Chen Wenzhou could feel An Lushan's ambition just by looking at it from a distance. If you don't have the ambition to win the world, how can you build such a magnificent palace!

Cai Xide pointed to a big mansion east of the palace and said, "That is King Zheng's Mansion!"

Chen Wen looked at it on Monday, although the palace of King Zheng is not as magnificent as An Lushan's palace, it is also carved and painted, the eaves and arches, the gold is brilliant, and the momentum is extraordinary.

"What about the Jin Palace?" Chen Wenzhou asked curiously.

Cai Xide was stunned for a moment, and then said to Chen Wenzhou: "Mr. Chen, please come with me."

The two rode their horses for a while, and then they arrived in front of a large mansion in the east of the city.

Chen Wenzhou pointed to the house in front of the door and asked a little disbelievingly, "This is the Jin Palace?"

Cai Xide nodded with a slightly gloomy expression.

Chen Wenzhou almost laughed out loud.
