The sun is shining, although there is a cold air in the air, but Chang'an City is full of people coming and going, endlessly, separated by more than ten miles, the official road that is not known to condense into three or five zhang wide is already people and cars, pedestrians are endless, look at it from afar, the city wall of Chang'an City is already in sight, and so on, you can appreciate the grandeur and grandeur of Chang'an city wall, people stand under the city, really like ants.

A convoy slowly walked on the road called cement, looking at the endless flow of people around them, and from time to time you could see many caravans from the Central Plains with different hair colors and pupil colors walking on the road, or taking the initiative to leave the road and trade with people in half-baked official dialect.

Although I felt a little uncomfortable, the first time I came to Chang'an City, which was destroyed by Dong Zhuo more than ten years ago and was rumored to be depressed, I didn't feel any depression at all, but there was a sense of majestic atmosphere.

A young man jumped off the horse, stomped his feet, felt the feeling of solidity and hardness coming from the ground, looked at the wide and majestic city wall of Chang'an City from afar, and sighed: "Xiaoze, how can such a magnificent city be broken?" ”

A young man who followed him changed his face when he heard this, and hurriedly jumped off the horse, pulled him back, and exclaimed, "Bo Yan, you don't want to die?" ”

Turning his head to look left and right, he saw that no one was looking here, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "You and I have been ordered to come to work this time, don't let the trouble come out of your mouth, and ruin the lord's big business!" ”

"Big deal?" The young man shook his head and sighed: "The lord wants to marry Lu Bu far away, encroach on Jingzhou, now it seems, it is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, what I have seen along the way, the people are rich, but they do not lose their fierce spirit, the government is clear, the government and the people are harmonious, my Jiangdong is not as good as far away, for today's plan, I don't want to unite the world's heroes to fight against Lu Bu, but I want to unite with Lu Bu, distant friendship and close attack, it may not make sense at any time, if I Jiangdong really takes Jingzhou, has the lord ever thought about how to face the army of tigers and wolves in the north? ”

"Be careful!" The young man known as Xiaoze looked around, frowned, and said: "Whether it is successful or not, it can be calculated if you and I say it, and this time I came to Chang'an, I also have the intention of listening to the truth of Chang'an." ”

"Yes, reality." The young man sighed, followed the convoy into the city gate, and looked at the rows of buildings in front of him, which were different in style, but natural, as far as the eye could see, among the shops, all kinds of people were selling on the street.

The young man curiously watched a few men who were not too strong pushing a few truckloads of goods into a shop, and couldn't help but be a little curious, so he pulled his companion and said, "What is that cart?" The men didn't look athletic enough to push so much of the cargo. ”

"How do I know, Bo Yan, we still have important things to do, don't miss the time." The young man named Xiaoze smiled helplessly.

"I'll ask." Ignoring the cries of his companions, the young man took a few steps forward and entered the shop.

"Distinguished guest, what do you need?" A blonde, blue-eyed, force-looking man greeted him with a smile on his face, and his half-baked official dialect with a thick exotic accent sounded twisted.

Lu Xun casually looked at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, and said casually: "It's all rare things, I don't want to have so many goods in a small shop, this brother looks very different from my Middle-earth people, I don't know who it is?" ”

"This guest must be from the distant Koto, right?" The boss smiled, "I am the owner of this shop, you can call me the boss." ”

"Boss?" Lu Xun turned his head, glanced at the businessman, and nodded, although it was a little weird, but it was people's customs, and he couldn't care about it: "That old ...... Board, how do you know we're from Koto? ”

"It's very simple, in the Central Plains or Shuzhong, every year there are many merchants who come to Chang'an to buy, if it is a person in these places, it will not be strange to these things, only the caravans in Jiangdong rarely come here, I don't know, in this Chang'an City, there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of merchants from the Western Regions every year."

"Hiss~" Lu Xun and his companions couldn't help but gasp, looked at each other and said, "Aren't you afraid of these hundreds of thousands of people making trouble?" ”

"Who dare?" The boss shook his head and smiled: "Let's not talk about whether these people will resist their god of war, even if they succeed, what is the benefit?" The silk and porcelain we buy from here every year are sold in our hometown, just one trip back and forth is enough for a person to squander for a lifetime, who will not be able to get along with money? ”

"With so much money, aren't you afraid of being robbed halfway?" The young man named Xiaoze was surprised.

"I only need to spend some money to hire an army of five hundred people to escort it, on the Silk Road, as long as I see the battle flag of Chang'an, even the most ferocious horse thieves will give way, the real risk is sandstorms and swamps, but risks and benefits always coexist, don't they?" The boss laughed.

"An army of five hundred?" Lu Xun was stunned.

"Yes, the soldiers and horses under the command of the god of war, when there is no war, in order to hone the combat effectiveness of the army, they will accept employment, they are extremely powerful, of course, the cost will be quite expensive, the general merchants, will hire some relatively cheap mercenaries, only some large caravans, will hire the warriors under the command of the god of war." In the end, the boss said with some pride, he is here, he has rented more than a dozen shops for a long time, and every year he hires a troop to escort his goods, and can hire an elite army of soldiers and horses, which is a symbol of status and wealth on this Silk Road.

"God of War?" The young man frowned and said, "What the boss said, but I'm the big Han hussar general Lu Bu?" ”

"Yes, he is the greatest god of war on the Silk Road, once shot an arrow to repel a wolf horse, the vicious Xianbei wolf horseman, in front of him like a lamb, worthy only as a slave." The boss looked at the other party suspiciously: "Don't you even know the deeds of your god of war?" Oh my God~"

Lu Xun dragged the young man to run out of the store, and it was probably the first time that he was despised by a businessman when he grew so big, but think about it, in recent years, driven by Chang'an, the status of merchants and craftsmen in the Central Plains has also improved a lot.

"Hyoze, for the first time I know, I am so ignorant." Lu Xun looked at his companion with a wry smile.

"They are begging for a livelihood in Chang'an, and naturally they spare no effort to praise Lu Bu, a barbarian, who knows the vastness of heaven and earth, and only knows how much power is advocated, so Lu Bu is the god of war in their eyes, how do you know how bad his reputation is in the Central Plains?" The young man snorted coldly and walked straight forward.

Is it a mess?

Lu Xun looked at the back of the young man, sighed, and shook his head, ten years ago it may be, but today...... It can only be said that the reputation is mixed.

Along the way, the group was not in a hurry to go to the post house, Lu Xun strung a few shops along the road, some were opened by foreigners, and there were also many Han people, but Lu Xun found that many Han people did not speak slippery, mixed with Qiang Huyin, but they proudly regarded themselves as Han people, and even their own race was ashamed to mention, and then I learned that most of these people were slaves from the slaves in the northwest mines, and the slave soldiers who entered the Han nationality, including Xianbei people and Huns, but until now, no one wants to admit that they were once race, if you ask, These people will turn their faces on you directly.

"The atmosphere of a great country, in the past, Lu Bu once said that the Heavenly Empire was superior, and today we know what the Heavenly Empire is!" Walking on the street, the atmosphere of the group became dull, and after a long time, Lu Xun sighed faintly, turned his head to look at the young man and said: "Such a big city, such a chaotic crowd, but it can be managed in an orderly manner, it is really ......"

The young man didn't answer, but walked forward with a blue face, along the way, they have met many foreigners who are proud of their Han identity, and they have also seen the desire of many foreign races for the identity of Han ancestors, and even willing to speak Chinese and wear Han clothes, these people, don't they have the self-esteem of their own nation?

But one thing is undeniable, Lu Bu has done what many sages dreamed of doing - all nations come to the dynasty, and more importantly, he Lu Bu is not yet the emperor, but he calmly accepts this honor, which is a blatant transgression!

Just as the group walked forward without saying a word, there was a sudden movement in front of them, and the surrounding people retreated to both sides of the street.

Lu Xun looked up, his face couldn't help but change, but he saw an army rushing towards this side, all the infantry, every soldier was wearing exquisite armor, the streamlined armor looked not only beautiful, but also with a sense of strength.

"It's them, General Han, since they entered the city, they have been asking questions about the east and west, I suspect that they are spies sent by Jiangdong!" In the team, the tall alien boss stood up and pointed at Lu Xun and the others.

Lu Xun and his companions looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they didn't expect that Lu Bu's control over the city was so terrifying, and they had only been in for a long time before they were discovered by the other party.

But he saw a military general walking out of the team with a big axe in his hand, and looked at Lu Xun and his party coldly: "Who are you waiting for?" Why do you inquire into the truth in my city? ”

The young man straightened his clothes, stepped forward and said: "In Xia Wu County, Gu Shao, this time I came to Chang'an on the order of my lord Sun Quan. ”

"It turned out to be a Jiangdong envoy." Han De took back the mountain opening axe, shook his head, and said to the shopkeeper beside him: "The report is meritorious, they are indeed people from the Jiangdong government, but they are envoys, not spies, this is a meritorious medal, go to the meritorious office to change it." ”

"Thank you, sir." Taking a white wooden sign from Han De's hand, the shopkeeper glanced at Lu Xun and the others with some disappointment, ignored the angry eyes of the Jiangdong envoy team, and left directly.

Han De looked at Gu Shao and said lightly: "Even if you are the Jiangdong envoy, I will send someone to send you to the Ministry of Rites, if you have any questions, you can communicate there, there is no need to hide in Chang'an City, we will not do anything to you during the non-war period." ”

"Yes, thank you, General." Gu Shao hugged his fists and said, after Han De left a city guard, he had already left with his men and horses. (To be continued.) )
