But the maid was still not in a hurry, and said slowly and calmly: "First of all, my husband reviews two items each time, one is the two most famous people in the rumors this month; Of course, my husband will not evaluate all of them one by one, but will select two people to evaluate through selection. ”

"How is the selection process?" A question erupted from the crowd.

The maid smiled and continued: "Listen to me, you are in troubled times, and all kinds of current events or wars are happening every moment that make everyone in the world pay attention, and my husband will come to test you on this proposition, and the two people with the best answers will be selected." ”

Zhao Yue took a deep breath when he heard this, his doubts had all been answered, and it would be a waste of time to stay here at this time. So, instead of listening to the maid's next gossip, he went straight into the crowd, trying to find a place to stay.

After several inquiries, Yongxing Tea Shop seems to be a good place. Zhao Yue had no money on him, but the ordinary tea there was free, and there were often some people who were in a hurry to beg for water there. Zhao Yue decided to go there first to find out some news about the Yuedan review, and then slowly think about where to go for three days.

Yongxing Tea Shop is located in the south of Pingyu City, the shop is very large, and there are many seats, and it is rare to see a tea shop of this size in Luoyang. Zhao Yue sat on a seat that could get sunlight, took the tea handed by Xiao Er, took a sip gently, and shook her body, looking complacent.

Sometimes, enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine, sipping delicate tea leaves, and listening to all kinds of chatter around you is actually a good choice.

After listening for less than a while, Zhao Yue gained a lot of useful information.

For example, last month's Yuedan Review, Xu Shao commented on Li Ru and Lu Bu under Dong Zhuo, and for another example, what may be the topic of the Yuedan Review this time, and some people even talked about the maid in Xu's house.

In short, all kinds of gossip came out one after another, and Zhao Yue couldn't judge the authenticity of these news, so she could only let her thoughts wander, and the focus of her attention couldn't help but move to the maid of the Xu Mansion.

Just now, the confident appearance of the maid when she spoke, a pair of Qianqian jade hands in the air, and it was so vivid and natural, it felt so familiar, as if it was familiar.

Zhao Yue drank all the tea in the cup, and finally knew who made her feel this way, and the illusory and mysterious shadow in front of her also floated into the air with the heat of the last wisp of tea, and slowly dispersed......

At the same time, in the desolate northwest land, there is an ancient city built of loess by the wind, Loulan City.

At this time, the city was filled with a strange wind and sand, the yellow sand particles seemed to be crushed into fine powder, floating in the wind, actually rendering the sky above the entire Loulan City, turning it into gray-yellow silk, enveloping the entire Loulan Ancient City.

Since Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions of the Western Han Dynasty, Loulan is an important link of the Silk Road, many merchants from the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions are passing through here to do business in foreign lands, and now, the land of the Han Dynasty is suffering from war, the Han Dynasty merchants here are getting fewer and fewer, and the business travel in the Western Regions has not decreased.

The seemingly desolate ancient city, full of flat-roofed earthen buildings with the characteristics of the Western Regions, is filled with the cries of camels every day, and the owners of the camels cover their faces with white cloth to block the entrance to the yellow sand, and the empty water bladders hanging from their waists suggest that they have just walked through a barren desert land.

Because of the war in the Central Plains, the ruler had no time to take care of anything else, and the Western Regions Protectorate set up here in the past became a formal empty shell, and the huge official palace had long been empty, disturbed by the wind and sand, and covered with yellow sand, which looked like it was going to be weathered into sand.

"Master, we've been here for many days, and it's not a big deal to stay like this."

In the Loulan Station, Ma Wu sat on his seat, drinking muddy water while sighing and complaining. In front of him was a young girl.

The girl's face is wearing a purple veil, and there are two ornaments from the Western Regions hanging on her earlobes, the famous "earrings", her fair face is half-hidden and half-exposed under the purple gauze scarf, and her black eyes are particularly eye-catching.

From her eyes, it can be vaguely seen that she has experienced a lot, and the city is quite deep.

"Ma Wu, Ma Wu, what are you worried about, I'm afraid that on the road from Luoyang to Loulan at this time, my portrait is pasted, if I can't hold my breath at this time, won't I make that Dong Zhuo's pastry?" The girl replied easily and naturally, her voice delicate and sweet, intoxicating, and as she spoke, she cocked her orchid fingers, pinched a piece of cheese from the Western Regions from the plate on the table, and then elegantly put it in her mouth.

It is said that this food is made from camel milk, but when the girl filled it into her mouth, she did not feel the slightest discomfort, but ate it with a taste, and the tip of her tongue swept around her rosy lips.

It turned out that Ma Lu was warned by Zhao Yue that day and had begun to slowly transfer half of his assets to the ancient city of Loulan, and a few days before Dong Zhuo was ready to arrest Yuan Kui's people, Ma Lu had already had a premonition and told his aunt Ma Lun of his concerns, but unfortunately Ma Lun did not take it as a matter and did not tell Yuan Kui, so Yuan Kui's whole family was wiped out.

But Marlu was very wise, she was a shrewd woman, neither humble nor conceited. For other people's opinions, no matter who puts them forward, she can always balance the trade-offs.

Therefore, she, Ma Wen, Ma Wu, and some people who have been in big merchants for a long time carried the last of their belongings and traveled a long way to settle in this Lou Lan City.

At this time, Ma Wen was buying and selling goods from the Western Regions in Loulan City with the family members of the former big merchants, while Ma Lu and Ma Wu were resting and chatting in the Loulan Post House.

Ma Lu, who had just finished eating cheese, was bored, leaning his head with his hand, while tapping the table with his slender fingers, there was no expression on his delicate little face, but he asked lightly: "Ma Wu, I asked you to discuss with the group of merchants from the Western Regions about occupying the official mansion as a mansion, haven't you talked about it yet?" ”

Ma Wu said reluctantly: "Master, don't worry, the small ones will do well, those merchants are very thieves, and what kind of chamber of commerce has been established between each other, and now all the management affairs of Loulan are in charge of them, so if our big merchants want to lay a foundation here, I'm afraid it will take a long time." ”

"Well, I know" Ma Lu listened to Ma Wu's words and said lightly.

The pavilion is full of merchants from all over the Western Regions, they look strange, sit together and talk happily, but their mouths are full of messy Western Regions language, ordinary people can't understand it at all.

Ma Lu is proficient in the Chinese languages of the Western Regions, but she doesn't want to listen to the conversations of these stinky men.

Suddenly, there was a sound of camel bells outside the pavilion, presumably a new group of merchants from the Western Regions had arrived.

Hearing this, Ma Lu sighed slightly, turned her head to look at the sky outside the house, the yellow sand was still fluttering, she frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Hey, that person's name ......"

After a while, the girl smiled and laughed at herself: "Okay, Zhao Yue, Zhao Changjiao, the grace of saving your life, you can't forget it......
