In May, the mountains are snowy, and there are no flowers but cold.

The flute smells the willows, and the spring has not been seen.

Xiao Zhan followed the golden drum and slept with the jade saddle.

I am willing to put the sword down my waist and cut Loulan directly.

This is one of Li Baisai's six songs, this day Hualang strolled, suddenly thought of this poem, and then involuntarily chanted, now Linxi City is almost May, but here is not as Li Bai's poem as written, there are no flowers only cold, it should be said that here has been warm, and the flowers, is the bloom of failure.

Perhaps, this place in the west is not a real stopper.

However, although it is not stopped, the faint sound of the Qiang flute can often be heard, the sound of the Qiang flute is very low, as if it is the mourning of the resentful woman, and as if the low roar of the warrior, every time I hear it, it is always very moving.

To the north of Linxi City, there is a place called Wuya, where a lot of willows are planted, and that place, most of the year is the yellow sand flying roll.

The place was very desolate, but every year in May, it was very lively, because on that day, a grand banquet was held in that place, and the people attending the banquet were the people with the heads and faces of the Great Song Border Pass, as well as the generals in the military camp.

Banquets are not held randomly, or it can be said that they have a very important purpose, and almost everyone has their own purpose.

This is the border pass, the surrounding terrain is very complicated, but even so, there are still a lot of business people, and these business people, may not only do it in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they may cross the entire Western Xia to take the Silk Road, or they may go straight to the Liao State to trade with the Liao people.

This is not an easy thing to do, because when the relations between the three countries are tense, it is a very dangerous thing to casually enter the territory of other countries, and even if other countries allow it, they may be taken hostage at any time.

Moreover, more often, these merchants will also be suspected by the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, these people often go in and out of other transit places, who knows that he is not a mutiny?

Therefore, on such a sunny day and a pleasant wind, the generals of the border pass would feast those people here, and in addition to admonishing them, they would also search to see if they had defected, and in addition to these, these merchants would have to pay a large amount of silver every year for military salaries.

It's normal for both sides to take what they need.

However, this has been done many years ago, and in the last seven or eight years, it has long been no longer done, since Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia proclaimed himself emperor to establish the Western Xia Kingdom, the relationship between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty has broken down rapidly, so the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty have not gone to the Western Xia much unless they have to, so this boundless place, naturally there is no need to do those things before.

However, if you don't do the previous things, some things can be done.

Many of them are businessmen, they can see business opportunities from it, what is the true meaning of doing business, but it is just to sell things from the east to the west to get the difference, many years ago, these businessmen thought of trading in this place of Wuyan, everyone gathered together to communicate news, trade exchanges, and conform to the instinctive development of economic trade.

This matter has nothing to do with other countries, so even if these merchants no longer go to the Western Xia Kingdom to trade, they can still trade in this place of Wuya, after several years of development, now every time it is May, that place is a big trading place.

The transaction takes three days, and after three days, they go their separate ways.

And when the three days of the trade, there will be a lot of tents and all kinds of goods in the whole Wuya, everyone exchanges with each other, and then leaves with their own goods, and because there is no inn and tavern in that place, so during the three days of trade every year, everyone brings their own meals and then puts them together to eat.

These three days are not an exaggeration to describe them as a grand event.

When Wen Mengzhi knew that there was such a grand event in that place, she kept pestering Hua Lang, saying that she wanted to have fun.

Originally, that place was a place where merchants traded, and Hua Lang and they had long since stopped doing business, and it didn't make sense to go, so it didn't matter if they went or not, but Wen Meng was entangled to go, and Hua Lang naturally couldn't refuse.

In addition, Tong Zhuo came to invite, and Hua Lang went to Wuya together, which made Hua Lang a little puzzled, but after Tong Zhuo explained, Hua Lang quickly understood.

Now the emperor of Western Xia is young, and the military and political power is in the hands of the queen mother, although this queen mother is not a good bird, but after all, she is a woman's family, and she does not dare to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, therefore, the trade between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty has a momentum of slow recovery.

I don't know if this situation is good or bad, therefore, Tong Zhuo is very uneasy, and feels that it is better to go endlessly, and in addition to Tong Zhuo's going, Bai Ji in the military camp and some of his generals are also going.

Now that Tong Zhuo and Bai Ji are all court officials, although Hua Lang is not a court official, after all, he has a token given by the emperor, so he naturally wants to take a look on behalf of the emperor.

Therefore, for various reasons, the most reluctant, Hualang, Wen Meng and others finally felt that there was no end.

The banquet of Wuya was held three days later, and Wuya was half a day's journey from Linxi City, so everyone was not in a hurry, and everyone had been preparing for these two days.

Because there were no inns and taverns in that place, they had to prepare something to eat and drink, and in addition to that, some tents had to be made to solve the problem of living.

Although these things are not very big, they are related to whether they can live a very comfortable life after they go to Wuya, because everyone is very attentive, and it took everyone a day to prepare these things.

After all this, the rest of the day seemed much more boring and boring, and Hanaro saw that everyone was so boring, so he joked that if everyone thought about it, they would see if they could go and start a small business, and exchange some goods with the merchants here.

Wen Meng is a person who likes to be lively and novel, although it is not the first time for them to do business, but after listening to Hualang's words, she suddenly became excited, so all day long, she was thinking about what to do after going to Wuya, but she Wen Meng is not the material for doing business after all, so she thought about all kinds of possibilities all day long, but in the end, none of them made her feel reasonable, and the last thing was gone.

Anyway, the second day passed, so on the third day, the group began to hurry towards the boundless.
